474.Chapter 474: Blood Vine
I followed the path cut out by the shrimp and walked forward. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As I walked, I was surprised to find that where I walked, the thorns behind me grew up automatically and returned to their original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After bypassing the thorns, the small temple in front of us appeared in our eyes.
The small temple was all blue, like a whole, and I didn't smell the ghost from it.
Around the small temple, the thorns disappeared, and in their place was a pale withered vine that extended from several corners and grew to the top of the small temple, covering it completely.
I didn't notice this at the time because of the distance before, and I didn't see these white dead vines until now.
Hey?
I beckoned to Shrimp to follow me, and then crouched down on a dead vine to take a closer look at it.
The withered vine was pale on the outside, but in the center of the vine, there was a thin, blood-like thing that stretched out.
At first glance, I thought it was a blood vessel.
On the top of the dead vine, not even half a leaf grows, but every meter or so, a small nodule grows.
This is...... Blood vine?
I remembered a strange plant recorded in the [Foreign Matter Chronicle], and after comparing it with it, I felt that the two were very similar.
Blood vine is a legendary plant watered with the blood of the dead.
This plant, it is necessary to find a person who has just died no more than two hours ago, and take it out and use it to water it while the blood in his body has not completely cooled and coagulated.
And because of its unique formation reasons, blood vines are generally impossible to grow naturally, and most of them are artificially made by evil magicians.
Among the people who use the blood vine are the corpse keepers.
It is recorded in the [Secret Art of Raising Corpses] that when the blood vine is planted, if a human heart is planted in the roots, and then it is watered with blood every day, it only takes 7749 days to produce blood vine fruit.
This fruit has both the bloody aura of blood and the corpse aura of zombies, and is most suitable for raising zombies.
Could it be that the corpse qi I sensed earlier was emitted from this blood vine?
I took a closer look and saw that the blood vine was growing vigorously, with thick branches, and it was obviously extremely nutritious.
I followed the vine and found the root of the blood vine, but to my surprise, the root of the blood vine did not show the slightest sign of being watered with blood.
It's weird.
Could it be that the secret art of raising corpses is wrongly recorded?
I thought, stretched out my hand, ran the corpse refining exercise, and pressed my palm to the top of the blood vine.
From inside, I faintly felt a corpse gas, and this corpse breath seemed to be swimming non-stop, swimming towards the bottom of the soil!
Wrong!
Could it be that in this underground, there is a certain feng shui array that gathers corpse qi, and then uses these corpse qi to refine zombies?
That's the first thought that comes to me.
But then I vetoed it.
Because the corpse qi in this blood vine, once it touches the soil, it slowly spreads into the soil, and then rises, gradually evaporating into the air.
This corpse qi was not stored, but dissipated.
The blood vines staggered upwards, covering the entire small temple.
I counted, and there were four blood vines in total, covering the small temple from all four directions.
Since I can't see the strangeness, it seems that I have to go into this small temple to have a look.
According to my estimate, there should be someone in this small temple who raises corpses, even if they don't raise corpses, they understand this kind of spell.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be arranged like this.
The door of the small temple opened directly, revealing a courtyard full of fallen leaves and dead poplars.
I cautiously walked to the door, thought about it, and stepped out of the small courtyard decisively.
The previous small temple was lit up, which means that there are people inside, so you can not be alarmed, and I think you should try not to be alarmed.
Of course, this practice may be a bit of a cover-up and stealing the bell, after all, the real magician, since he has set up such a feng shui bureau, if someone comes, then he will definitely be able to sense it.
But after entering the small courtyard, I realized that there were no doors and windows in this temple at all!
There are no doors, no windows, and it's like it's just built for fun, and you can't get in at all!
In Feng Shui, there is basically only one reason why people use this kind of enclosed building: they are not intended to be inhabited in the first place!
If you don't live for people, you will naturally live for ghosts.
Based on the feng shui pattern of this small temple, I searched through my memories to find the reason for this layout.
But the feng shui in [Shang Ce], which is all to teach people to change feng shui and change fortune, such as the pattern in this small temple, is basically a place of great evil, according to the record of Shang Ce, either change or break.
The feng shui bureau of this small temple is definitely not naturally formed, and there must be a master behind the scenes.
If I break this feng shui bureau......
I think I'm sure I'll make a great enemy.
The purpose of coming to this small temple was just to see what the source of that powerful corpse qi was, but at present, this corpse qi was clearly emanating from the blood vine.
And the blood vine, which could not store the corpse qi at all, was all dispersed.
There are still a few doubts, such as why the corpse qi can reach such strength at the moment of generation.
Now that I can't find the corpse, I naturally have no need to stay, let alone make a strong enemy.
"Let's go. I waved my hand, beckoned to the shrimp boy, and prepared to leave the small courtyard.
But when I looked up, I was stunned: in the small courtyard, where is there a gate?
The two open doors I had seen before were long gone.
Not only that, but the entire wall of the small courtyard also began to grow rapidly with the thorns that they had seen before, and they were distributed on the wall in a network one by one.
Looks like the owner of this house doesn't want me to leave.
I thought about it, arched my hand, and said loudly: "Long San passed by here, he didn't mean to offend, and he asked the master's family to make it convenient." ”
Don't say it, as soon as I said this, I saw that in front of me, where the dead poplar tree was, the poplar tree that looked mottled suddenly cracked and split into two, forming two pieces.
At the bottom of the poplar tree, a staircase descending one step later.
The staircase is made of the red bricks seen earlier at the end of the dead-end road, spiraling downwards as if forming a circle.
It seems that the owner of this small temple is planning to let me and Shrimp Da leave from here.
I didn't move.
The scene in front of me made me a little familiar, remembering the first time I met Xiaohong and the judge.
At that time, I came across such a ladder of hanging souls.
And now, this staircase in front of me, nine times out of ten, is also a soul ladder!
