Chapter Seventy-Nine: Corpse Immortal
Seeing his corpse, I couldn't help but be shocked, and thought to myself: Could it be that Old Man Zhao is not dead at all, so he climbed up the ice wall? After a closer look, I felt that it was wrong, because the corpse of Old Man Zhao had more than doubled in size, and although the skeleton was the same size, the muscles in his body seemed to have been drained, leaving only a loose dry skin.
Suddenly, I thought of the heavenly soldier who was 'deflated' by me in the water drop ice cave, and it seemed that after the qi was released, it was also like this, only a layer of skin remained.
However, if there is really only one layer of skin left, then how does the human skin climb on top of it?
There's only one reason, there's something hanging it up!
I told the two of them about this idea, and Lu Su shook his head and said, "No, you are a little wrong. When the dumb man killed it, it wasn't like this. "I asked carefully and found out that the heavenly soldiers that Old Man Zhao had turned into were different from those heavenly soldiers that had been refined, and it did not deflect at all, so it was still the same after death.
I wondered, even if something hung it up, how could it be like this?
At this moment, Lu Su said, "It did it, it sucked this corpse." ”
The dumb man and I looked at Lu Su at the same time, he smiled bitterly, and said, "It's a long story, but I know that the thing that grabbed Brother Dou ......" He pointed above and said, "It must be going up." ”
Hearing this, the dumb man pursed his lips and said coldly: "This dark wind should be blowing from above, it seems that there is an outlet from above." The three of us looked at each other, and without further ado, immediately began to climb up the ice wall. Fortunately, there are a lot of protruding ice picks on this ice wall, and there are probing claws in Old Man Zhao's equipment, so it is very convenient to set up ropes.
It is a shoe, a shoe of tofu.
At this point, I was almost certain that it was the thing that grabbed the tofu, and in the process, it also took the corpse of Old Man Zhao. I remembered what Lu Su said before: smoking. When I think about it, I just shudder.
What happened to tofu?
The three of us did not dare to delay, and climbed all the way up the ice wall, and the higher the ice wall, the narrower the distance before the two walls, as if it were an inclined shape, and an isosceles triangle was formed between the two.
When I climbed to the top, the two walls were almost closed, and the only exit was only more than half a meter wide, and there was a black hole inside, and I didn't know where it led, and a dark wind blew out of it. At this time, when I looked down again, I only felt that the whole person was hanging in the air, even for a person like me who was not afraid of heights, I felt dizzy and my legs were weak.
The mute is reluctant and has been silent. Although I had a lot of opinions about him before, but this time he was seriously injured in order to save me, and later when he was forced by Lu Su to carry a mine, he also took good care of Tofu, and now, no matter how much dissatisfaction he has, it has disappeared. I've been watching him all the time, in case he can't hold it up and something goes wrong, so I'm ready to help.
But the dumb man is really a ruthless character, even if the cold sweat broke out, the bandage oozed red blood, I didn't see a frown, when I saw the air outlet above, without saying a word, I climbed in first, I thought I would go to the chamber first, but I didn't expect the dumb man to go up first, and I saw his figure jump up all of a sudden, only a pair of feet left, and I couldn't help but be nervous.
Fortunately, there was no danger, and after a while, the dumb man's feet also retracted, and then his choppy voice was heard, which was blown by the wind: "No...... Dangerous...... Come up. I climbed up after him, and Lu Su followed.
When I climbed in, I immediately saw that it was supposed to be an ice tunnel carved out by man, but the place was so small that people could only crawl on the ground in it.
I said in my heart: This ice tunnel is opened above the ice wall rift, it is really secret, it does not seem to belong to the project in the Xuan Ice Tomb, what is this hidden ice tunnel used for?
Strange, how did the ancient corpse in the coffin know?
I can't help but recall the appearance of the ancient corpse in my mind, wearing a feather robe, wearing a fairy crown on his head, and his face is handsome and lifeless. Looking at its dress, it is somewhat similar to the Puzhen in the mural, but that Puzhen is already in his twilight years, his beard and hair are all white, and he is wrinkled.
What's more, how could Pu Zhen lie down in that coffin?
Now this zongzi that has jumped out seems to be really as written on the Xuanbing Tablet, which can only reach the heavens and the earth, not only with infinite power, but also like a flying corpse that can fly to the sky and the earth, and it feels terrifying to think about it. Now that it has sucked the Heavenly Soldiers and taken the tofu away, it doesn't know what to do.
At this moment, the three of us climbed into the ice path, the ice road sloped upward, and there was a dark wind constantly pouring in, and people in it, their eyes could only squint, and the sound of speech was also blown by the wind intermittently. As I climbed up, I asked Lu Su: "It seems that you know a lot, who is the person in the coffin?" ”
Lu Su asked rhetorically: "Can't you guess?" ”
I knew that I had guessed correctly, and I couldn't help but wonder even more: "Why is Puzhen in it?" It's much more powerful than a flying corpse, what is it now? "Zongzi according to the classification, from the low-level Mao Zongzi counting, the most powerful is just the flying corpse, the flying corpse is the most powerful kind of corpse, also known as the corpse spirit, for a long time, the hole is a small meaning, the most terrible thing is that it will gradually give birth to wisdom, the scourge of one side, difficult to clean up.
Now this corpse is much more powerful than the flying corpse, which is almost beyond the scope of my cognition.
After I asked, Lu Su was silent for a while, and finally said, "I don't know, I don't think it's a corpse." ”
"Not a corpse?" I felt a sudden.
Lu Su said calmly: "You can't think about it with ordinary thinking, remember I told you that I have a friend who is engaged in biomedical research, and he told me a metaphor about keys. I hummed, and suddenly understood in my heart, and said: "Black light has a lot of unbelievable power, that is, it uses the 'key', and Pu Zhen is the one who makes the key. ”
Lu Su said: "That's right, in that case, why didn't he use the power of the key?" ”
I felt my heart beat suddenly, and said coldly, "You mean, he is not a corpse, but a living person." ”
Lu Su said: "To be precise, it is a person who used the key to open the big lock of God. ”
Lu Su's speculation makes people a little frightened, according to this statement, the thing that hijacked the tofu can no longer be called zongzi, nor can it be simply called a person. If a person reaches a point where he is neither born nor dead, nor old nor decayed, and flies away from the sky, then is he still a human being?
No.
The ancients called this kind of person an immortal.
In other words, it was not a corpse dumpling that robbed the tofu, but a ...... Corpse Fairy?
Over the past year or so, I have seen a lot of bizarre and strange things beyond common sense, goblins and ghosts have experienced, Yin and Yang Liubu Village have become fine weasels, evil Jiao suppressed under the corpse raising bureau, ghost ships sailing on the sea, skinless corpses in Xu Fu's tomb, Yin Si Treasure Hall wandering in the world and Yellow Springs, living corpse messengers who worship evil gods, and those hard and soft zongzi. The appearance of these things has already shattered my materialist thoughts.
But...... Immortals? Corpse Fairy? That's.
I believe that there are mountain spirits and ghosts in this world, but it is really unbelievable to make people believe that there are gods in this world, and I prefer to believe that it is a corpse fairy who has taken away the tofu. After all, a corpse fairy is a corpse, and it's much easier than making me admit that it's a feathered immortal.
Suppressing the churning emotions in my heart, I forcibly calmed myself down and said, "How do you know that Old Man Zhao was bitten by a corpse immortal?" ”
Lu Su seemed to laugh, there was an unknown meaning in his laughter, but it was like a bitter smile, and said: "I have always wanted to find the key, in this process, I have paid more effort than you, and I can't tell for a while, but I know that I don't have a chance now." ”
No chance? I didn't quite understand what Lu Su meant, so I asked him why.
Lu Su's voice regained gentleness, and he said, "Because of the corpse immortal...... That's what you call it...... Corpse Fairy. Only it knows how to make the key, but I'm not sure about it, not at all. ”
What Lu Su said this time was very sure, and the language contained helplessness. I also felt very uncomfortable because it meant that the chances of us being able to save Tofu were too small......
Immediately after that, I thought of another question and wondered, "In that case, what are you still doing with us now?" ”
The dumb man said coldly: "Because this place is the exit." ”
When he said this, I realized that there was a little light at the end of the ice road.
Could it be that this ice road actually leads to the outside of the cave?
The three of us hurriedly crawled out of the cave, and when we saw it, the whole world was white. That's when I realized that the three of us were on the side of a snowy peak. At this moment, the wind and snow are raging, the sky and the earth are white, and the sun is tightly covered by snow clouds, making the weather look miserable.
At this moment, I suddenly found that on the opposite side of the snow peak, there was a flat-topped snow peak, and I was surprised for a while, and said in my heart, isn't that flat-topped snow peak the entrance to the Xuanbing Tomb? Unexpectedly, after this lap, we actually wore to another snowy peak.
At this moment, the mute crouched down and didn't know what he was looking at, and I followed his gaze and noticed that there were a lot of blue ice cubes coming out of the exit. The dumb man said coldly: "This entrance was sealed before, and it was opened by the corpse immortal not long ago. ”
In the wind and snow, there is a series of clear footprints, along the entrance all the way to the snow mountain, who is this series of footprints, it goes without saying, I stared at the footprints in the snow, only to feel that my eyes were hot as if to bleed, because the footprints were only one person.
If tofu and corpse fairy are together, then there will definitely be two pairs of footprints.
And now there is only a couple, what does this mean?
