Chapter 18 Exploring the Tomb
Zhang Qiyue carefully recalled, and relived the picture from the time he walked into the entrance of the mausoleum to this moment in his mind, but he did not find anything abnormal. Then I carefully examined the body, and found nothing unusual.
There is so little information at the moment, so it seems that we have to go inside and be careful. Zhang Qiyue made a judgment and continued to walk deeper into the mausoleum.
After another quarter of an hour, the number of triggers decreased, and Zhang Qiyue frowned slightly, and stopped again.
This is a bit unreasonable, the further you go inside, the lower the defensive ability? Zhang Qiyue couldn't be sure, whether it was because Yang Wu had broken it when he visited the tomb before, or because the long years had rendered the supposedly insidious mechanism ineffective.
So once again, the spiritual power was fully activated, first to probe around himself, and then to the depths of the mausoleum to do extreme detection, and there was still no special place in the coverage of the divine sense.
However, Zhang Qiyue discovered an anomaly in himself.
His ultimate detection range has been shortened by about ten zhang.
It was only ten zhang, and the distance was not obvious compared to Zhang Qiyue's divine sense limit, but he was very sure. Any training Yang Wu gave him was always based on triggering his limit, and Zhang Qiyue would never be mistaken.
It seems that the consciousness has been eroded. Zhang Qiyue's face became a little solemn.
A quarter of an hour shortened by ten zhang, and Zhang Qiyue wrote down the number.
Zhang Qiyue remained cautious and continued to walk inside, and another quarter of an hour passed. As before, the number of organs has been reduced again, and it can be said that there are very few.
After calculating the distance, he had already walked about 500 zhang. Zhang Qiyue once again probed the limit of his divine sense, this time fifteen zhang shorter.
It appears that the rate of erosion is not constant.
Zhang Qiyue looked around, there was silence in the mausoleum, there was no wind, this was a passage, every ten zhang distance, there was a stone statue of a strange beast on the wall twice.
After a while, he had some scheming in his heart, so he moved the two stone statues on the left and right beside him to the middle of the passage, and then walked in the direction in which he had been coming.
After walking a full hundred steps, Zhang Qiyue turned around and looked at the stone statue that had just moved, and then continued to walk forward for fifty steps, looking back at the stone statue again.
Zhang Qiyue frowned, it seemed that his eyesight had been affected.
The first time he looked back, Zhang Qiyue felt that the stone statue was about 120 steps, and the second time he looked back, he felt that the stone statue was 200 steps away.
The other senses should have been skewed as well. Zhang Qiyue pinched his chin and thought, but what kind of corpse qi affects the senses of the body?
"Okay, try it another way. ”
Zhang Qiyue's eyes flashed, and the aura was scattered two feet around his body, this time it was completely different from before, the aura was extremely rich, like a thick fog, making people feel a sense of viscosity.
"It turns out that this is corpse qi. Zhang Qiyue said slowly.
After the aura gathered around him, he clearly felt that the gloomy and cold corpse qi all around him was incompatible with his rich aura, and at this time, the corpse qi was still shuttling between his aura, but when passing through the rich aura, it was slightly sluggish, as if squeezing in.
"Stinky old man, he has spent so much effort to let me practice spiritual power compression, and I don't say hello in advance when I want to use it. "Zhang Qiyue is so unhappy," you can die if you remind me." ”
Zhang Qiyue began to look inward, and found that there was already some corpse qi in his body, which was only regarded as the cold air in the mausoleum before, and he didn't care, but now that he knew it, he began to expel it out. However, after trying hard, I found that it was of little significance. First of all, the expulsion speed is very slow, like brushing water with a brush, and it has to be combed many times before some can be eliminated, and secondly, there is the external corpse qi that is constantly and slowly pouring in.
"Fortunately, I finally know what the corpse looks like, it seems that the old man just wants me to fight a long battle with this thing, so find a suitable place to start masochism. Thinking about this, Zhang Qiyue didn't stay anymore, and continued to go deeper, since it was cultivation, he naturally had to find a place with a strong corpse qi, and at present, he could fully adapt to this situation.
This time, Zhang Qiyue was no longer as cautious as before, but his speed was much faster, and those old mechanisms were already not painful to him, and after using spiritual power to compress them, he could ignore them.
After another quarter of an hour, Zhang Qiyue had already walked five hundred zhang inside, and the corpse qi was obviously much thicker.
"Well, it's okay here, let's play here first. Zhang Qiyue looked around, and sat on the ground, and the rich aura always gathered two feet around him.
"With the current rate of aura consumption, it can last at least six hours, so let's toss it for three hours first. ”
Zhang Qiyue let go of his divine sense, maintained a range of 100 zhang, and as a warning, he began to fight against the corpse qi in his body.
Before you know it, an hour has passed. With this period of familiarity, Zhang Qiyue discovered that corpse qi is not sensitive to aura, the two are like turbid water and clear water, compatible with each other, and do not conflict, so it is not easy to clean up corpse qi with aura. However, the corpse qi is full of malice towards the divine consciousness, although it is not incompatible, but the opposition is obvious. The corpse qi was like a blood-sucking mosquito, slowly eroding the divine sense. At present, there is no other way, Zhang Qiyue can only use the aura to wash repeatedly, and the efficiency is very low, so that Zhang Qiyue began to doubt whether his confrontation method was correct.
Just as he was thinking, a foreign object broke into Zhang Qiyue's 100 zhang range, Zhang Qiyue immediately stopped combing the corpse qi in his body, stood up and examined the uninvited guest.
The speed of this thing is not fast, it looks like an irregular air mass, exuding a cold and dead air, slowly drifting towards Zhang Qiyue.
"This is what the old man said about the resentful spirit, right? Zhang Qiyue's divine consciousness suddenly concentrated and gathered on the resentful spirit.
The resentful spirit's figure paused, and suddenly let out a piercing roar, rushing towards Zhang Qiyue at an extremely fast speed, and flew in front of Zhang Qiyue's eyes in an instant.
Zhang Qiyue raised his hand and slapped the resentful spirit, and the resentful spirit flew away, and the air mass on his body was suddenly scattered a lot.
"Poor beings without intelligence. Zhang Qiyue joked.
This is the first time Zhang Qiyue has encountered the resentful spirit, but Yang Wu has already explained it before coming, combined with Yang Wu's "kitten and puppy" argument when he came in, Zhang Qiyue did not feel any threat to the resentful spirit.
Due to instinctive fear, the resentful spirit immediately wanted to flee, but before it flew three feet away, it was caught by Zhang Qiyue. At that moment, the resentful spirit desperately let out a piercing roar, and this sound brought a burst of spiritual impact, which actually made Zhang Qiyue in a trance.
Zhang Qiyue immediately gathered his spiritual power in the palm of his hand, and "poof" crushed the resentful spirit.
"It's disgusting. Zhang Qiyue shook his hand and muttered. Just as he was about to sit down again, suddenly there was a screaming sound in the distance, Zhang Qiyue looked at it, and suddenly his scalp was numb, and more than ten resentful spirits were rushing from a distance.
"I'll go!" Zhang Qiyue turned around and ran, but the many screams contained a heavy mental impact, making Zhang Qiyue's head dizzy.
Zhang Qiyue's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he no longer thought of escaping, and instantly raised his divine consciousness to the maximum, and a spiritual wave blasted towards the group of resentful spirits. The wraiths staggered and screamed. Zhang Qiyue's figure flashed, and he rushed forward, with a thick white light on his hand, and he shot randomly. The sound of "poof" was endless, and after a few breaths, the mausoleum was quiet again.
Zhang Qiyue sat on the ground, his breath a little unstable. Fang Cai's divine consciousness exploded, making him a little tired.
"The old man's words are really not credible, and I don't know what awaits me in the future. Zhang Qiyue complained, "No, I was already infested by corpse qi, and after doing this, I'm afraid I won't last long." Let's take a break and find a way to get out. ”
I don't know how many years have passed since this ancient mausoleum, and it is difficult to guarantee that there is no more dangerous existence in the depths of the mausoleum. Zhang Qiyue didn't come in to rob the tomb and explore the treasure, and he didn't want to take risks in vain.
Zhang Qiyue started the exercises and prepared to adjust them. But when he saw Yang Wu coming from a distance, and when he saw Zhang Qiyue, he frowned at first, and then said with concern: "How did you make it like this, so that the good students who are good teachers feel distressed." ”
Yang Wu approached Zhang Qiyue's side, his face was full of concern, and he said in a kind voice: "Hurry up and recuperate, it's okay, with me here, you can rest assured." With that, he reached out to touch Zhang Qiyue's face.
Zhang Qiyue's figure retreated sharply, pulling away ten steps, and looked at Yang Wu with a strange expression.
Yang Wu said eagerly: "What's wrong, is there anything uncomfortable?"
Zhang Qiyue looked Yang Wu up and down, and couldn't help laughing, the laughter was getting higher and higher, holding his stomach, as if he was about to laugh out of breath.
Yang Wu's face was cloudy, and he said, "Why are you?"
After a long time, Zhang Qiyue finally stopped laughing and said: "I have been thinking about it before, if I am completely eroded by the corpse qi and lose my mind and go crazy, what hallucinations will I see, hahaha..." The smile on Zhang Qiyue's face was retracted, and his voice turned cold, "I'm sure I'm not crazy, so how can I see the old man's gentle face? ”
"Yang Wu" looked at Zhang Qiyue with a gloomy face.
Zhang Qiyue said coldly: "Put away this boring trick, it's useless to me, who are you?"
The figure of "Yang Wu" changed to a man in a gorgeous robe and a golden crown, and the man stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes full of coldness, "I am the lord of Lingxu Kingdom, twilight." ”
Zhang Qiyue sneered: "It's just a dead ghost without discipline, what kind of posture." From the moment Twilight transformed into Yang Wu approaching him, Zhang Qiyue knew that Twilight was not absolutely sure of himself, otherwise he would just be able to crush him head-on, why bother with these superfluous means.
"Bold!" said with a cold glint in his eyes: "You little, you trespass on the king's tomb without permission, and you are so disrespectful to this king, I want you to stay here today, and you will never be able to live forever." ”
Zhang Qiyue used the method of spiritual power compression, protected his whole body, and mocked: "It's just you, have you not woken up, do you want to go back to sleep?"
"Arrogant!" A violent spiritual coercion burst out from Twilight's body and rushed towards Zhang Qiyue.
Zhang Qiyue's eyes were firm, and all his divine sense protected his body, forming a double defense with the compressed spiritual power, and confronted Twilight.
Within two feet of Zhang Qiyue's body, there were ripples in the air.
The spiritual power of twilight is like a storm, and Zhang Qiyue is like a big tree on a rainy day, with swaying branches and leaves, but the trunk is straight.
For a while, both sides couldn't help each other.
Twilight Chi suddenly shook and pushed with his right hand, and an extremely thick corpse aura emanated from behind him, pounced on Zhang Qiyue.
Zhang Qiyue's divine sense defense suddenly began to melt rapidly like ice and snow encountering fire.
"Fight!" Zhang Qiyue gritted his teeth, gave up his defense, and his divine sense and spiritual power turned from defense to offense, turning into a sharp cone, and rushing against the trend, like a sharp blade breaking through the ice, attacking towards Duchi.
Twilight Chi didn't expect Zhang Qiyue to be so decisive, and he was stabbed into the spirit body at the moment. With a muffled snort, most of his body was blurred.
At the same time, Zhang Qiyue also flew away, bleeding from his mouth and nose, lying on the ground, not knowing his life or death.
"Hmph!" Twilight snorted coldly as she covered the piercing place of the spirit cone, "In this king's home field, it is so big." Your body is good, and it is suitable for this king. ”
Twilight Chi stepped forward, and the spirit drive slowly merged into Zhang Qiyue's body and began to take away.
Zhang Qiyue's face suddenly distorted, and his hands and feet twitched constantly.
