"Breathing!!"

It's not just Jiang Ran who saw it.

Ruan Yuqing also discovered the abnormality of the corpse.

His face turned pale for a while, and he was about to retreat when he pulled Jiang Ran's arm.

It's just that she didn't pull it, she immediately let go of her hand and swished out of the way.

Joke......

Jiang Ran's martial arts are world-famous, and he is not afraid of anything.

But I'm afraid.

Jiang Ran glanced back at her, somewhat speechless:

"Miss Ruan, isn't this a little too unrighteous?"

Ruan Yuqing took a deep breath and tightened the soft water sword in his hand:

"Don't worry, if you are really eaten by zombies, I will save you!"

“……”

They have all been eaten, how can they be saved?

This soft water sword is good anywhere, but it is afraid of ghosts, which is the same as Tang painting.

It seems that whether they are righteous or demonic, before that, they were all women first.

Jiang Ran shook his head slightly, his gaze fell on the corpse again, and when he looked carefully, he found that Fang Cai should indeed be not mistaken.

The corpse's chest fell together, and its limbs shook slightly, as if it was really breathing.

It's just that this corpse has been here for an unknown number of years, although it has not been rotten through special methods.

But it has long since shriveled and blackened, like a thousand-year-old sunken wood.

How could such a corpse breathe?

After Jiang Ran pondered for a while, he slowly came to him, took out the deerskin gloves from his arms, put them on, and stretched out his hand to check the state of the corpse.

Ruan Yuqing looked at it, and felt that her scalp was faintly numb:

"Jiang Shaoxia...... Be careful. ”

Jiang Ran didn't look back, and investigated the state of the corpse little by little.

The expression became more and more strange:

"How so?"

"What did you find?"

Ruan Yuqing couldn't help but be a little curious, and she was afraid that she didn't want to look at it, and she couldn't help but cast her eyes.

Jiang Ran said softly:

"This corpse ...... It seems to be rotten, but there is something else inside.

"Man is dead, but ...... But ......"

For a moment he didn't seem to know what words to put to describe it.

After thinking for a long time, he said:

"But the body is still alive."

“？？？”

Ruan Yuqing felt that her mind was bullied to a certain extent:

"What do you mean? It's even more terrifying!! ”

People are dead, corpses are alive, isn't this just zombies?

Jiang Ran shook his head:

"That's not what it means...... He's a bit of a vegetative person. ”

"Huh?"

Ruan Yuqing found this word, which made people even more confused.

Jiang Ran seemed to have discovered some strange anecdotes, and looked at the corpse with an interested expression on his face.

He thought for a moment and said:

"How do you explain it to you......

"Everything in this heaven and earth has life, every flower and tree, and it has its own vitality.

"You and I are born as human beings, with our own thoughts and thoughts, coupled with vigorous vitality, we can walk freely in the world.

"The grass and trees are autumn, although they can't walk, they can't get out of the square inch.

"But there is also a life force within us.

"And this corpse ...... It is an existence that does not have thoughts, cannot leave this place, but has vitality inside.

"It's like a flower, a tree ......"

"You mean, this corpse is a plant and a tree!?"

Ruan Yuqing obviously has her own understanding.

“……”

Jiang Ran shook his head:

"I think he was supposed to be a normal person, but I don't know why he became what he is now.

"His breath is not really breathing, just like the grass and trees flourish and have their own rules.

"The heaving of this corpse's chest is its regularity......"

As he spoke, he looked at the beads in the corpse's hand.

With a slight groan, he took out a piece of cotton cloth from his bosom, covered it with the beads, and wiped it gently.

Said to Ruan Yuqing:

"You said that this bead, could it be the key to the incorruptibility of his corpse? After I took the bead, he turned straight to ashes? ”

"How do I know ......?"

Ruan Yuqing watched Jiang Ran tinkering with the corpse for a long time, and the corpse didn't jump up to give him two big-eared posts, but he was a little bolder.

Slowly walked towards Jiang Ran, staring at the beads, frowning slightly:

"I think I've seen this bead somewhere......"

"Oh?"

Jiang Ran was stunned: "Where have you seen it?" ”

Ruan Yuqing didn't speak, stared at the bead carefully for a moment, and said softly:

"Hide the stars in the heart, and know the dust.

"This ...... I've seen it in books.

"There is a record in a book of [Rare Records], saying that when the Golden Cicada Dynasty was founded, there were strange stones falling from the sky.

"It fell on the ...... where the capital is today A priest opened a stone and took out a bead from it.

"The bead contains the stars, as if the stars of the sky were falling into the dust.

"Hence the name 'Falling Star Bead'!

"There was an illustrated book in the book, and this one looks very similar to the falling star beads on the illustrated book......

"However, the Falling Star Bead has always been collected by Qin Tianjian, so there is no reason why it will appear here."

"What if someone from Qin Tianjian brought it?"

Jiang Ran said softly:

"You said that the official who died here back then could it be the person from Qin Tianjian?

"And they came here back then...... Is it possible that it was to find this man's grave? ”

This speculation seems a bit out of bounds.

However, if this is really a falling star bead, then this speculation may not be untenable.

Ruan Yuqing nodded lightly, and saw that Jiang Ran had already reached out and buckled the bead out.

"Huh? Aren't you afraid that corpses will turn into ashes? ”

Ruan Yuqing was stunned.

Jiang Ran shook his head:

"If this is really the Falling Star Bead that was brought here seven or eight years ago, it means that the method of preserving the corpse from decay has nothing to do with it......

Ruan Yuqing looked at the beads in Jiang Ran's hand, and then at the corpse, and sure enough, there was no change in the slightest, so she nodded:

"It really has nothing to do with it, and in this way, it can be more confirmed that this thing is a falling star bead."

Jiang Ran held the bead:

"What's the use of this thing?"

"If it's a falling star...... It is said that this substance has miraculous effects, and when placed in drinking water, it can make ordinary water have a detoxifying effect.

"If someone uses this thing to activate internal force, it will be of great benefit to the treatment of injuries.

"Wearing it all year round can also prolong your life.

"However, the people of Qin Tianjian watched the stars at night through this thing, and they thought that even if the things that fell from the sky were good, they should not be placed next to the emperor, after all, they were unpredictable, who knows if what is benefited today is the poison of the coming day?"

Ruan Yuqing is erudite, and she spoke eloquently, although she may not be able to explain all the circumstances of the falling star beads, but she also said a lot.

After Jiang Ran wiped it clean with a cotton cloth, he looked at the corpse again.

Finally, he reached out and took the lid of the coffin aside and placed it on the ground.

Then look at the child in the coffin who looked to be only seven or eight years old.

I saw that his face was dark, his limbs were smaller according to the proportions, but his head was large, and it was very uncoordinated.

"It's a deformed ......"

Jiang Ran frowned slightly, and stretched out his hand to take the corpse.

Ruan Yuqing also followed the probe to look at his brain.

However, at this moment, Ruan Yuqing's eyes suddenly widened:

"Open your eyes!!"

"Huh?"

Jiang Ran looked down and saw the corpse in the coffin, and sure enough, he opened his eyes.

A pair of eyes were full of blood, and as soon as he stretched out his hands, he grabbed Jiang Ran's wrists.

"Presumptuous!"

Jiang Ran snorted coldly, and the Great Brahma Vajra Jue turned, and a streamer flashed between his palms.

The child's hand could only stop three inches in front of Jiang Ran's wrist, and it would be difficult to advance an inch again!

Knowing that he couldn't take down Jiang Ran, he suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped it into the coffin, and his body was about to come out of the coffin.

Where can Jiang Ran let him go?

Just now, when his eyes were closed, Jiang Ran still couldn't figure out whether he was dead or alive.

Now that he dares to do it to himself when he opens his eyes, Jiang Ran can naturally see clearly that this person is not a dead person at all, but a living person!

All kinds of treacherous things here are absolutely inseparable from this person.

Immediately, he poked five fingers and took the front of the heart, wanting to hold it in the palm of his hand.

But at this moment, Jiang Ran frowned slightly, although the wind was weak, he could still hear it clearly.

There is the sound of breaking wind lingering around.

In the air, it was as if something was coming with the wind.

"It's the line!"

Jiang Ran's heart moved, and he pulled Ruan Yuqing, who was about to draw his sword, to his side, and his body shook and he was already in the air.

The two feet stepped on one after another, and one after another the qi rose to the sky, forming a Dharma appearance.

The figure landed steadily in mid-air, and under his feet was a thin line that could barely be seen.

When he looked up, he saw that the child's figure had reached the edge of the high platform, and a man was approaching on the other side.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he took the child in his arms, and asked repeatedly:

"Thrower, Thrower, are you okay?"

The boy tilted his head to look at the man, and then fell into his arms and wept aloud.

The voice was terrible and miserable, like the wailing of ten thousand ghosts.

Jiang Ran glanced at the visitor thoughtfully, and sighed lightly:

"Uncle, it's really you."

The person who came was naturally not a bystander, it was the rickety old man.

It's just that he turned a blind eye to Jiang Ran, gently patted the back of the child in his arms, and comforted softly:

"It's okay, it's okay, Daddy is here, Daddy is here, and I'm not afraid of anything.

"No one can hurt you......"

"Beads, robbed."

The boy raised his head at this moment and said in a rough, dry voice:

"...... Robbed! ”

When the rickety old man heard this, he immediately looked at Jiang Ran, and his eyes were full of gloomy color:

"Return my son's falling star beads!!"

"This thing, it's really a falling star bead?"

Jiang Ran raised the beads in his hand and chuckled:

"So, the people who died here back then were really Qin Tianjian's people?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

The rickety old man looked at Jiang Ran and gritted his teeth:

"You ought not to have come here...... I have no ill will towards you.

"You rushed in and disturbed our father and son, it was obviously your fault......

"Why, do you want to snatch my son's falling star beads?

"He, he can only survive by relying on this!

"Hand over the falling star beads, otherwise, I will refine the two of you into 'sorrow'!"

"Sad?"

Jiang Ran's expression was a little strange:

"What is sorrow? The first sorrow in the ages? ”

"Tragic ......"

The rickety old man's eyes seemed to be in a trance, and after being stunned for a while, he said:

"Sadness, sadness is medicine!!

"It can detoxify, it can continue life, the first sorrow of eternity is the first medicine of eternity!

"This medicine can give you eternal life!!"

When he said this, he didn't give Jiang Ran a chance to react, so he laughed wildly:

"The dog emperor of the golden cicada is dying and wants this elixir of life.

"My wife and I ...... My wife...... In order to save me, I threw my son, so I surrendered to the court.

"They borrowed our secret techniques to find dragon points, in a vain hope of finding the treasure medicine of the Demon Sect in the past.

"We, we did our best to help them find ......

But they didn't keep their promise!

"They say that we are ground rats who cannot see the light, and it is already the virtue of our ancestors to be able to serve the heavenly family.

"Delusional to get the falling star bead, that is the way to death.

"They...... They cut off my wife's flesh piece by piece, and took her life right before me.

"They're going to kill my son!

"Throw, throw......!"

The rickety old man said this, holding the child in his arms deadly.

As if this was the only way to be able to settle down, he let out a long sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Ran suddenly:

"Hand over the falling star beads, you and I will not interfere with the river water.

"You can go wherever you want, can I take my son away?

"If that's not enough, I can help you with things...... I, I'm good at killing.

"There are thousands of bells and thousands of formations I have arranged outside, and as many people as those people come, they will have to die!

"As long as you promise me to return the falling star bead to my son, I will kill as many people as you ask me to kill!!"

He speaks upside down, not in two, and the narrative is a bit headless and endless.

However, Jiang Ran and Ruan Yuqing glanced at each other and still understood.

The Demon Sect has a treasure medicine, and eating it can lead to immortality.

I don't know if this is true or not, anyway, the emperor of the Golden Cicada Dynasty believed it.

But it is obviously not easy to find this treasure medicine.

The people of the Qin Heavenly Prison spent their means for this, but they could not get it......

In order to save his son, the rickety old man in front of him returned to the imperial court with his wife, and searched for medicine for the first emperor through the secret art of Kanyu.

The reason why it is the first emperor is because the current emperor ascended the throne five years ago.

Judging from the year, the person who wanted to find this treasure medicine at that time was the first emperor who was about to die.

And they do get something.

Now this place, maybe they have found it.

According to the requirements, what they wanted was most likely Qin Tianjian's Falling Star Bead.

Unexpectedly, when the matter came, Luo Xingzhu's family refused to give it, and he also killed his wife.

He was furious, and this was what happened seven or eight years ago.

It's just that...... There are still a few things that are elusive.

For example, if the first emperor was looking for treasure medicine, how could he give up so easily?

What happened back then to make it happen?

These things are easy to chase when time passes, and the spirit of the rickety old man in front of him has long gone wrong, and reality and illusion are mixed up, and it is not so easy to figure it out.

But what is certain at the moment is that this place is indeed the work of the Demon Cult.

And the so-called treasure medicine......

Jiang Ran's gaze fell on the corpse on the lid of the coffin on one side.

I sighed in my heart.

It is indeed the first sorrow of the ages!

"It turns out that it wasn't martial arts at all...... It is a tragic method in the Eighteen Days Demon Record.

"You can refine a living person into medicine!"

Ruan Yuqing also understood the key, and showed compassion on her face:

"The Demon Sect really does everything."

"But if that's the case......"

Jiang Ran's voice came: "Why didn't he use it to save his son?" ”

Ruan Yuqing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't answer for a while.

And judging from the arrangement of this old man, although this so-called 'treasure medicine' may not be able to live forever, it obviously has some special abilities.

Otherwise, why seal the falling star beads in the mouth of the 'treasure medicine'?

The liquid on the bead they had seen earlier was the key to the child's life.

Between the thoughts in his heart, he heard Jiang Ran speak softly:

"Your wife...... Was it really their death? ”

His voice was not loud, but the moment he said it, it made Ruan Yuqing's whole brain boom.

He suddenly looked up at the old man in front of him.

Seeing that his face was frightened, his right hand was raised, and there was a sudden sound of fragments in the void.

Jiang Ran didn't move, letting this silk thread shroud, but none of them could cut into his talisman appearance.

The rickety old man frowned slightly, just this time he knew that with his own ability, it was absolutely impossible to take down Jiang Ran.

Immediately hugged his son, turned around and left.

"If you come, you will be safe, where are you going, old man?"

Buzz!

The sound of breaking wind suddenly came from the void, and the silk threads that were wrapped around and had not chopped Jiang Ran suddenly turned against each other.

The old man rolled his body, and after standing up, he suddenly looked up at Jiang Ran.

The four eyes met, and they saw a flash of blood in the old man's eyes.

Ruan Yuqing also saw these eyes, and for a moment she only felt as if she had stepped into the Shura Dao.

As far as the eye could see, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and in the sea of blood, a big hand slowly stretched out, enveloping it between its five fingers.

At the same time, the old man's figure had already come to Jiang Ran and Ruan Yuqing.

With five fingers, he was going to take the falling star bead in Jiang Ran's palm.

But he didn't want to, at the moment when he was about to touch it, Jiang Ran suddenly flipped his hand, and the falling star bead suddenly disappeared.

Immediately followed by a palm poking out.

Bang!

The old man's body was suddenly beaten upside down and flew away, Jiang Ran pulled Ruan Yuqing, and when he stepped forward, he was about to capture him.

The child, who had been held in the arms of the old man, suddenly burst out and took a bite at Jiang Ran.

He had a vision, his teeth were as sharp as a saw, and when his steel teeth were sharpened, he could directly bite off the palm of his hand.

Jiang Ran frowned slightly, his sleeves flew up, and with a buzz, the kid was immediately knocked out.

His figure turned in mid-air, but suddenly fell again, reaching the old man's shoulder:

"Didn't grab it!!"

"Let's go!"

Since he is not an opponent, he can't take back the star beads, so he naturally leaves as soon as possible.

Although the child didn't know, the old man himself knew that the people outside were about to chase after him.

However, when I wanted to leave, it was too late.

Footsteps and figures appeared in the underground space.

The first one is nameless, and the other is naturally Tang Huayi.

As soon as Tang Huayi looked up, he saw Jiang Ran who was hugging Ruan Yuqing, and he was immediately furious:

"Let's fight to the death outside, I didn't expect you to really have a private meeting with Ruan Yuqing here!!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at her one after another, and said in their hearts, running to such a ghost place, can it also be called a private meeting?
