Walking into the cave, I felt even more eerie, and at the same time, there was a smell similar to animal feces and talisman ashes. This kind of yin and cold is not because the terrain is low and damp, but because there is yin qi penetrating from the ground, similar to the leyline yin qi of Yunding Mountain. Although I have successfully cultivated the Yin and Yang Technique and will not be invaded by Yin Qi, I still feel goosebumps on my back.

The entrance to the cave is relatively straight, about two meters wide, the highest part of the vault is about three meters, the ground is a wide and flat stone slab, the traces of artificial repair are obvious, there are traces left by a long time. Judging from some irregularities in the cave, this was originally a natural cave, probably built by man-made construction of a dry underground river.

In order not to alarm the enemies inside, Xiaoxue hid in my body, restrained the demonic energy, and I walked inside step by step. The space inside is larger, but it also appears irregular, and there are some runes and symbols of unknown meaning carved into the stone walls, which have not been destroyed...... From this point of view, it was the people of the Xuanming Sect who destroyed the stone statues and runes on the outside a few years ago, and buried the entrance of the cave to create the illusion of destruction.

I walked more than twenty meters inside, and a huge underground space appeared, large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and the highest point was nearly ten meters. There are some natural stalactites on the roof of the cave and stalagmites on the edge of the cave, but the central ground has been hewn and leveled and paved with stone slabs, like a hall. There is an altar in front of the stone wall near the north side, and on the stone wall there is a huge black totem that looks like a turtle riding waves and rushing into the sky.

I'm a little surprised, the god worshiped by the Xuanming Sect is actually a turtle?

Xiaoxue couldn't help but speak: "In the past, the turtle was an auspicious beast and a symbol of longevity, such as the turtle and crane; It also means that he is a big official, such as the hanging turtle and fish, which has only become a curse in the last few hundred years. And the stone wall is not a turtle, it is Xuanwu, and Xuanwu is Xuanming, which should represent the meaning of the god of water or immortality for the Xuanming Sect. ”

I'm a little embarrassed, although I know that the turtle represents longevity, but I don't know such details, and I have always thought that Xuanwu is a divine beast, how can I think it is a turtle.

Xiaoxue giggled: "Fortunately, Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng are not here, otherwise you will be so angry that you will vomit blood, in the eyes of the Taoist, Xuanwu is really a divine beast, a combination of turtle and snake, also known as the two generals of turtle and snake or the two generals of water and fire." ”

Regardless of whether it's a turtle or a Xuanwu, in short, this is the idol of the Xuanming Sect, and I packed up my mood and prepared to move on. In addition to the entrance where I entered, there were two passages, both of which were dead and silent, and I don't know where they were, the rancid and gloomy atmosphere here was very heavy, and Xiao Xue couldn't smell which direction Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei were taken in.

I took out cinnabar and a brush, drew an arrow in the right passage, told the friends behind me where I was going, and then walked towards the xiangyou side passage. Not far away, I found a stone chamber made of natural caves, with three corpses on the stone platform in the stone chamber.

My first reaction was to the corpses, as they were lying there straight without breathing, heartbeat, or body temperature, but one more look at me changed my mind. Their faces and hands on the outside of their clothes appear to be somewhat dry and purple, their nails are inch-long, the backs of their hands are thick with long black hair, and the two pairs of fangs in their mouths protrude from the outside of their lips...... It's clearly a zombie!

I was really a little nervous, afraid that the three zombies would suddenly jump up, but Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't be nervous, it's just that the zombies haven't become a climate yet, and they've been suppressed." ”

I can't really blame me for being cowardly, I'm human, and I have a natural fear of zombies, how can I not be nervous when I suddenly see zombies in such a dangerous and gloomy place? Xiaoxue is a demon, from the perspective of ordinary people, demons and monsters are the same kind, she must have seen a lot of zombies, of course, the nerves are a little bigger.

I stepped forward into the stone house and saw three zombies in its entirety, dressed in all-black tights and cloth shoes, with only their hands and faces exposed. There are Taoist talismans on their foreheads and chests, and the talisman paper and clothes look old and moldy, which shows that they have been lying here for many years.

I unceremoniously took out my katana, walked over and slashed at a zombie's neck with both hands, and with a "click" sound, my head was completely disconnected and rolled to the side. There was no obvious movement, no blood flowed out, and only a small amount of black gas emanated from the cavity.

I was a little surprised, this zombie is very weak, not as hard as I thought.

Xiao Xue said: "Zombies are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, these three zombies should have been sealed and thrown here after the initial refining of the Xuanming Sect, and they have not yet become a climate." ”

I quickly cut off the heads of the other two zombies, and I couldn't keep them, whether they were in the weather or not. I asked, "How can you quickly and directly tell the strength of a zombie?" ”

"This ...... I don't know how the Xuanming Sect refines zombies, but if I only divide the strength of the ability, I can still divide it. The worst ability is the zombie with white hair on the body, which is generally the body after being buried in the corpse breeding ground for a few months, has no intelligence, will only instinctively find weak creatures to suck blood, the whole body is stiff and slow, extremely afraid of sunlight and flames, even people and dogs are afraid, glutinous rice, mirrors, ink fountains and the like can restrain them.

The second type is black zombie, after white zombie sucks blood and eats, after a few years of shedding white hair and growing black hair, he already has a little intelligence, knows that he is cultivating, his fingernails have corpse poison, and his movement speed will be faster. The black zombie is still very afraid of sunlight and fire, and will actively avoid the able-bodied, attacking the old and weak or the sleeping. The three bodies in front of me can also be regarded as black zombies, they are refined, and they may be a little stronger than the naturally formed ones, which are a threat to ordinary people, but there is no threat to us. ”

I'm a little embarrassed, it's just that three very weak zombies make me so nervous, but fortunately no one sees it, otherwise wouldn't it be a joke?

Xiao Xue continued: "The third type is the Iron Zombie, or Jumping Corpse, the Black Zombie has been sucking blood and cultivating for decades, can jump forward quickly, is afraid of the sun and is not afraid of fire, the skin and flesh are hard, and the strength is as strong as an ox, even ordinary martial arts practitioners are not their opponents, and they need to use spells, magic weapons or fire to kill them, which has a certain threat to us.

The fourth type is the bronze zombie, or flying corpse, which hides in ancient tombs or extreme yin places and cultivates for hundreds of years, or mutates for some reason. They can walk normally, jump vertically like flying, invulnerable, invulnerable to water and fire, can swallow corpse qi and hurt people, and can suck people's spirit without leaving external injuries. This is a zombie that even cultivators fear, and the zombie you encountered in the Black Pine Forest is not the strongest...... even if it is a bronze zombie."

I'm a little worried, the Xuanming Sect has a long history, to say the least, hundreds of years, and artificially refining zombies grow faster, I'm afraid that they have many high-level zombies.

"The fifth category is the Drought Corpse, also known as the King of the Golden Corpse, which takes thousands of years to cultivate, and the Yin Qi in the body has reached the extreme and reversed into pure Yang, and it appears in a radius of thousands of miles. It has living memories, can use many spells, can spit out terrifying corpse fire from its mouth, acts like a normal person, and can change its appearance to confuse people. We are no match for the Drought Devils at all, but fortunately, there are very few Drought Devils, and there are absolutely none of them in the Xuanming Sect.

Drought Fish has been cultivating for thousands or even 10,000 years, and can carry Xuan bone wings on its back, fast as a virtual shadow, and can fly to the sky and move mountains and seas, named 'Qian', and feed on dragon meat and Jiao meat. Legend has it that for thousands of years, only one of them has appeared, and it was adopted as a mount by King Jizo Bodhisattva. It is said that in ancient times, there was a stronger Heavenly Demon Corpse, and even the gods, Buddhas, immortals, and saints had a headache when they saw it...... Hehe, both of these are legends, and we are even less likely to encounter them. ”

I really didn't expect that a zombie could reach such a height after cultivation and be able to confront the gods and Buddhas, so I asked: "So no matter what it is, no matter what method it is, as long as it reaches the extreme, it can become an immortal existence, and it is a god-like existence." ”

"Yes, but the cultivation of evil things is easy first and then difficult, and there are many calamities, and there are very, very few people who can succeed."

I settled down and returned to reality from the legend, since it is impossible for the Xuanming Sect to have a drought corpse, at most there is only a copper zombie, we still have hope.

Xiaoxue said: "What I just said is just a general classification, and there are still big differences in strength in each category, for example, the strength of a thousand-year-old drought fish and a 10,000-year-old drought fish must be different." The zombies artificially refined by the Xuanming Sect should be a little different from the naturally formed, and some are alternative zombies, so it is still not to be careless. ”

I answered, exited the stone chamber and continued walking. Stone chambers appeared one after another, different in size, but all had similar stone platforms, most of which were empty, except for a few zombies that were mutilated by decay. It seems that this is the "primary processing workshop" or "scrap warehouse" of the Xuanming Sect, and now there are only some scraps left, and they can't be completely successful in refining zombies, and some corpses will decompose to a certain extent after initial processing.

I didn't have time to pay attention to the waste, so I sped up and walked dozens of meters when a scene shocked me. In front of you is a huge underground shijie, with an area of several thousand square meters, a height difference of thirty or forty meters, complex terrain, and a large number of caves extending in all directions, like a labyrinth. Some stone pillars or stone walls are inlaid with some green stone balls, which emit a faint green fluorescence, so that ordinary people can barely see things here.

This should be some kind of glowstone, it can be said to be a kind of night pearl, and it is too extravagant to use this for lighting. What I didn't expect was that there was so much space inside, how long would it take to search one by one? If the enemy is moving, I can't find it.

Xiaoxue and I couldn't sense any activity nearby, not even the sound of insects, cold, dark and terrifying quiet, just like being under the Nine Shadows, Rao I have experienced many terrible things, or my scalp is numb.

I picked a random cave, marked the entrance of the cave, and walked forward. There are many stone chambers in this cave, and there are many stone platforms in the stone chambers, on which a large number of herbs, bones, dried animal corpses, bottles and jars are placed. Along with the stone walls, many small platforms were dug up, and a large number of materials and unknown objects were placed, but there were some messy and vacant places, and it was obvious that precious things had been taken.

I didn't have the heart to look at the medicinal herbs carefully, I only looked for people, and I glanced at each stone room and left without anyone, and after a while, I walked to the end of the cave and didn't see a single figure. I walked back, back to the huge underground shijie before, standing in the center to observe where to go, and suddenly the figures around me shook, and many black shadows jumped out of the hole, jumping quickly and rushing towards me.

There are twenty jumping corpses, that is, iron stiffness!
