Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Yin Corpse Array
I stared at the backs of the four people, but I could no longer see the extra person, and I was startled for a moment.
Where did it go?
At this moment, the mute suddenly said, "In the back." ”
I chuckled in my heart and was about to turn around, but was stopped by the mute and said, "Pretend you don't know and keep walking." Hearing him say this, I could only resist the urge to turn back and continue to follow Bai Choji and the others. But the thought of something following us made me feel cold at the back of my neck, and the dumb man's body was not warm at this time, and his skin was cold against my neck, not to mention that feeling, if it weren't for the dumb man's inability to move now, I really wanted to throw him off my back.
At this time, while walking, he said dumbly: "When he died, his bones fell into the Yin corpse array at the bottom of the cliff, so it became like this, don't alarm him." ”
"Yin Corpse Array?" I moved my lips and silently made a lip shape: What is it?
The mute whispered in a very low voice: "It is a kind of corpse array, which can suppress the yang qi of the earth's leylines and form the effect of gathering yin, but anyone who dies in this place will be the same ......as him" I couldn't help but weaken my teeth. What does it mean to be the same as him? Could it be that all those who die here will eventually become ......
I immediately understood why the white chopping chicken saw the black mist on the other side of the lake, I am afraid that it was the gloomy qi of the Yin corpse array gathered together. It seems that it is also used to suppress the leylines, how many people have to die here? When Pu Zhen was alive, it was really terrible.
At this time, the mute seemed to know what I was thinking, and still said in that kind of voice: "Those strange birds at the bottom of the cliff were originally raised by eating the flesh of dead people, and the offspring that reproduce all have corpse gas. There is a Yin corpse array, and the dead are prone to accidents, and he is not the only one in this underground palace. ”
I heard the scalp numb, and I also understood the meaning of dumbness, according to this statement, then in addition to the dead fire, including everyone who died in this underground palace before, maybe they have all become soft zongzi, such as the people and horses brought by Zhao Erye at the beginning, and for example, the people and horses brought by Bai Laosi at the beginning, more or less lost some in this bucket, if they all become soft zongzi...... The thought made my heart go so out that I couldn't help but ask, "What about them...... Will you be stuck here all the time? ”
The dumb man hummed slightly, and said, "As long as the Yin Corpse Array exists, it will never be reborn." ”
I couldn't help but gasp, thinking of the corpse fairy, it seems that this Yin Corpse Array is not just to suppress the qi of the earth and yang, eighty percent is also a means of revenge, those who dare to break into the tomb of the giant ear king will not only die, but also never be reborn!
I remembered the last words on the stele: There is a spirit in the underground palace, and the trespasser dies!
I didn't suppress my voice, and the rest of the people thought something was wrong and turned their heads to look back. I can't say in my heart, this turn of the head, won't they find something that follows? The dumb man has said that he can't disturb it!
Who knew that everyone turned their heads, but their expressions were normal, and they didn't seem to notice that there was one more thing behind me, Wen Min took the lead in asking, "What's wrong?" ”
I was stunned, looked back, and suddenly found that on the right side behind me, at the junction of light and darkness, there was a person standing impressively. I stared, almost speechless, while the rest of the people seemed to be unable to see at all, everyone followed my gaze to look in that direction, and after a while, Wen Min came over worriedly and asked me, "What are you looking at?" Isn't it too tired? ”
Obviously, none of them can see the 'fire'. I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the mute, and saw that the mute had closed his eyes, as if he was faking a faint.
Why is he pretending to be stunned?
My heart moved, and I forcibly withdrew my gaze from the 'figure', shook my head slightly, and said to Wen Min: "It's okay, I just feel that something is following me, maybe I'm too suspicious." Wen Min looked at the direction I was staring at again, and said to the people in that place, "Don't think about it, you're just too tired, let's go." ”
At this time, Xiaoyu said, "I'll carry it, you can rest." He motioned for me to put Wu Shui down, and I quickly said, "No, I'll do it myself." ”
Xiaoyu was stunned, and finally said, "I can't see that you have such a good relationship with Mr. Wu." After that, he shook his head, probably because he couldn't understand why the two of us got along in such a strange way, one moment like friends, and the other like enemies.
After such a distraction, my heart is not as hairy as before, and now I just want the rest of the people to quickly divert their attention, and then quietly ask the mute to understand. The floor tiles of this cemetery are neat and fine, and in the words of Feng Guishou, it is a tomb road that is easy to set up a mechanism, and it requires great care, but this time, we have not encountered any danger all the way forward, and Tofu has not left any trace.
Suddenly, when everyone shifted their attention, I asked the mute, "What's the matter?" Why can't they see it? Is it only the two of us who can see it? ”
The mute suddenly whispered in my ear, "I can't see it either." ”
I was stunned by this, and I said, "You can't see it? Then you ...... before, "If he can't see it, how will he know that there is an extra 'person' in the team?"
But the mute did not answer me, but said, "Only you can see." ”
I felt my throat tighten for a moment, and after a moment, I asked, "Why?" ”
The dumb man said: "In addition to you, there is another person who can also see it." ”
A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind, and I said, "Tofu? ”
The mute nodded slightly.
I was shocked, and I couldn't help but think of the scene where the corpse fairy robbed the tofu in the Xuanbing Tomb before. Later, so many people didn't follow, but only followed me and Tofu, is there anything special about me and Tofu?
Why would the dumb know this?
At this time, he heard the dumb man say: "Remember, what did the two of you experience in Xuelong Mountain?" ”
In my mind, the situation at that time immediately came to mind, from the fight to the final escape, almost every detail was recalled, and finally, I suddenly thought of a thing, that is, the heavenly soldier who was killed by me and Tofu at that time, at that time, we absorbed the red mist emitted by the heavenly soldier, and led the wound to heal quickly. This ability disappeared after leaving the Xuanbing Tomb in me, but in Tofu, it was still retained, but it was not as exaggerated as it was in the Xuanbing Tomb.
I remember that in that hole, I was about to be killed by the Celestial Soldier, and inadvertently, I pulled out the iron nail at the base of the Celestial Soldier's leg, causing a puff of crimson smoke to erupt from it. At that time, we didn't know what the smoke was, and thought it was poisonous smoke, so at that moment, Tofu pounced on me and protected me with his body, so the first red smoke from the Heavenly Soldier was sprayed right at Tofu's head.
The smoke that came out of the smoke was much lighter in color, obviously very different from the first puff of smoke, but none of us noticed this detail at the time. Later, we entered the ice valley with red smoke, but the color of the smoke was obviously different.
Could it be that because of that, as soon as the corpse fairy appeared, he was immediately arrested by Tofu?
So, what exactly is that red smoke in the Heavenly Soldier's body?
According to the map in Chen's hand, Puzhen's life was extremely tortuous, he was originally just an ordinary surveyor, born in an ethnic minority, but deeply influenced by Han culture, and traveled the world when he was young. What he experienced during his time traveling around the world is not recorded in the information that Lu Su passed on to me at the beginning. Maybe Lu Su can be hidden, or maybe there is no relevant record in the USB flash drive.
But what is certain is that that experience had a great impact on Puzhen's life, because it was after that that he began to make magic lamps and began to build the tomb of the Giant Ear King. It can be seen that during that time, he mastered the 'key' that Lu Su was pursuing, that is, the method of making magic lamps.
Lu Su wanted to enter the tomb of the Giant Ear King, just to make a last stand.
This underground palace does not have a Yin corpse array, so that the people who die here can't even get out of the ghosts, which seems to be extremely cruel, but from another point of view, it is obviously a secret, obviously, Puzhen is not even at ease with zongzi.
Could it be that Lu Su guessed correctly, Pu Zhen really put the secret of the 'key' in the tomb of the Giant Ear King? What did the corpse fairy go through before his death? Where does its ability come from? Why is this tomb of the Giant Eared King related to the curse of the Ghost Face?
If the face of the ghost is from the migratory people of the 'ghost dragon', then does the 'key' of Puzhen have any connection with the shaman?
Through the reminder of the mute, the mystery that has plagued me for a long time has finally been revealed, it seems that the reason why Puzhen will bring tofu, is not for no reason, and that burst of red smoke, although I don't understand what it is, but obviously not a bad thing, it can make people's wounds heal quickly, and can make people see some 'potential dangers', so it is a treasure.
Then, this time the tofu will change its face, and the root of the qiē lies in the period after being caught.
A guess suddenly popped up in my mind, could it be that during that time, Pu Zhen took tofu back to the tomb of the Giant Ear King? That's why Tofu knows so much about this? As soon as the idea popped up, I was taken aback and immediately rejected it.
The corpse fairy looked like he was ignorant and ignorant later, but he didn't pretend, how could he take tofu to this place and leave?
After thinking about it, only when I find tofu can I ask it in person. At this time, I was more curious, but I was dumb, since he couldn't see the zongzi, how did he know about the fire? Thinking so, I asked.
The mute didn't answer, staring at the front of the group, looking thoughtful.
At this moment, Feng Ghost in front of him said, "Look, there's a mark here." ”
