Chapter 145: The Secret Under the Bell Tower
Chu Yang vaguely felt that this divine tree seemed to want them to kill the old crow, but he was not sure, after all, this was his guess.
And the reason why he thinks this way is also very simple, because the old crow was saved by the sacred tree.
If it hadn't killed the Old Raven, it had also saved the townspeople from a plague.
However, he denied it, and he felt that neither the old crow nor the people of the town could explain the purpose of the light of the divine tree.
Because, what is the meaning of killing them for a dignified artifact? And he didn't find any meaning here.
If you really want to kill, why save it in the first place?
"Maybe it could be something else. Chu Yang said secretly in his heart.
Thinking of this, Chu Yang said to the two girls: "You two go to the town separately, and I will also go outside." See what is the real purpose of the light of the Divine Tree guiding us here?"
"Also, Meng Yao, if you pay more attention to the changes in the light of the Divine Tree, you may have unexpected gains. Chu Yang felt that since it was a guide, there must be a purpose.
"Hmm. Meng Yao listened to Chu Yang's reminder, and she said, "I'll take a look now." ”
Over, she quickly closed her eyes, and a green divine tree light appeared in her mind, but the light of the divine tree at this time was even more dazzling.
After observing, she opened her eyes, exclaimed, and said in surprise: "Hey, Master Chu." I noticed that the light of the Sacred Tree was different from before. ”
"What's the difference?" Chu Yang and Ah Li looked at him in unison.
At this time, the streets were obviously empty, and there were not many passers-by, but the appearance of Chuyang Sanrao made many pedestrians notice them.
However, the passers-by did not pay much attention and then turned away.
Meng Yao looked around and whispered, "The light is even more dazzling." ”
"Really?" Chu Yang frowned, looked at Meng Yao again, and asked, "When did you observe the light of the Divine Tree before?" ”
Meng Yao was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Before we came to the woods, I vaguely felt something, and then I observed the light of the Divine Tree and found that it guided the direction of this dead forest. ”
"Oh?" Chu Yang suddenly had an idea and said, "Follow me." ”
So, Chu Yang took them out of the town, and outside the arch of Dark Raven Town, let her observe the changes in the light of the Divine Tree.
"It's getting weaker. After Meng Yao observed, he said to Chu Yang.
"Hmm. Chu Yang nodded, took the two daughters, and left the dry forest.
"When the guide appears, the destination is still this dead forest. Meng Yao said: "This is the same feeling as when I first stepped into the territory of the Gross Empire. ”
Chu Yang smiled slightly and said, "That's it, the light of the Mingshen Tree guides our destination, which is this Dark Raven Town." ”
Ah Li suddenly thought of something, and said, "Young Master, could it be that the change in the light of the Divine Tree is telling us where we are from the target?"
"Well, let's go back to town. Chu Yang responded.
The trio returned to Raven Town, and this time, after figuring out the effect of the light of the sacred tree, they began to walk around the town as if they had discovered a new land.
On the way, Chu Yang let Meng Yao feel the changes in the light of the Divine Tree from time to time, and in the end, they were guided by the light of the Divine Tree, and when they came to the location of a well, the light was very dazzling, and it was still that kind of flickering.
"It's changed again, this time it's flickering all the time. Meng Yao said in surprise.
In front of the bell tower, by the ancient well.
"Is this the bell tower?" Ah Li looked around, and finally looked at the bell tower in front of him, a little surprised.
"Like, why don't we go in and have a look. Meng Yao looked at the bell tower, because it was the only one here.
"Well, let's go check it out. ”
Chu Yang looked around, but he didn't find the old crow, and he didn't know where it went, so it seemed that he could only break through.
Chu Yang glanced at the door lock, his fingers condensed, a subtle sword light flashed, cutting the door lock in two, and then walked up the steps, came to the door, and opened the door.
"Whew!"
A chill rushed out of it, accompanied by a strong smell of rotting bones, which made them all frown.
"It stinks. ”
Ah Li and Meng Yao couldn't help but cover their noses, but Chu Yang's body, when they were hit by these corpse stench, a faint halo suddenly appeared, separating those stench.
Seeing their demeanor, Chu Yang waved his hand, and two light curtains fell on the two of them.
Suddenly, they couldn't smell the stench anymore, and they all showed joy.
"Let's go inside. ”
Chu Yang finished, and was the first to cross the threshold and walk into the bell tower.
The three of them came inside, looked around, on the ground, corpses were piled up everywhere, just as Chu Yang had discovered, these corpses were thrown up at random.
"How do you feel now?" Chu Yang asked back.
Meng Yao knew what Chu Yang meant, and immediately observed the light of the Divine Tree again, but said with a frown: "It's weak." ”
When I was outside, the light was shining, but when I came inside, the light was still shining, but it wasn't as strong as when I was outside.
"How is this possible?" Chu Yang was a little surprised, and said, "Could it be that we made a mistake?"
"Strange, maybe not here. Meng Yao was also a little strange.
Quack.
At this moment, a crisp crow crow sounded outside the bell tower.
Chu Yang and the three of them turned around and looked, only to see a crow suddenly appear at the door.
The crow 'bang' turned into the appearance of an old crow.
It turned out that the old crow had gone out to forage for food this morning, but when he found that the ban on the bell tower had been broken, it was very angry and hurried back to the bell tower.
When it saw that it was Chu Yang and the others, it was stunned for a moment.
"Hello adults, I don't know it's you, I'm sorry to disturb. The old crow smiled flatteringly.
If someone else dared to trespass into its forbidden place, it would have been torn up a long time ago.
However, the three people in front of him, it wants to tear it, but it doesn't have that ability!
"Come in. Chu Yang saw it come back and said lightly.
He knew that while breaking the door lock, it also destroyed the prohibition above, and it was impossible for the old crow to not know about it, so it would definitely come back soon.
Sure enough, it was only a short time after they entered that it returned.
"Okay. The old crow man had a humble face, and came to Chu Yang's face, bowing his head, and didn't dare to do anything.
"I want to ask you, is there anything special in your bell tower?" Chu Yang looked around and said.
"Pretend to be a corpse, I hide the places where I will kill me. The old crow replied swiftly, as if he had answered it countless times.
"I don't think it's going to be that simple, right? Chu Yang didn't believe it, but stopped, staring at the old crow who didn't dare to raise his head.
"No, no Sakura" The old crow quickly shook his head, still resolutely: "This is really what I used to pretend to be a corpse." ”
"Hehe, aren't you?" Chu Yang took a step forward, and an invisible coercion fell on the old crow's body, making it suddenly feel a sense of death.
"Wait, wait, wait. The old crow's mouth was a little unfavorable, and he cried and said, "I, I." ”
"That's right, right? ”
When the old crow saw that the breath of death had disappeared, it breathed a sigh of relief and did not dare to hide it anymore.
Because it also knew that if it was concealed any longer, Chu Yang would definitely kill it.
"Actually, there's something under the bell tower. The old crow said weakly.
"Oh?"
The three of them lit up, looked at each other, and showed a sudden realization.
"Sure enough, it's not as simple as pretending to be a corpse. Chu Yang secretly said in his heart, which also confirmed his guess.
"What is it?" asked Ah Li.
"It's a corpse. The old crow said timidly.
"Corpse?" After hearing this, they were all stunned for a moment, and their faces were full of puzzlement.
"That's no ordinary corpse. The old crow sighed, and he also let it go, and honestly confessed.
It turned out that the corpse inside was a plague body, and the entire dead forest would be like this, and every once in a while, Raven Town would have a sudden plague effect, which was caused by it.
At first, the people in the town thought it was a plague brought in by outsiders, but after the crow only had spiritual intelligence, and because of its physical fitness, it was keenly aware of the anomalies in the town.
Eventually, it found the bell tower here.
According to the people in the town, sometimes they will smell a corpse smell inside, but no one can find out where the corpse smell is hidden.
Later, people also found out that the smell of corpses was not frequent, it only appeared occasionally, and it did not appear for a long time, so, over time, the people in the town became accustomed to it and did not take it seriously.
However, when the people of the town discovered that every time the stench of corpses appeared, there was always an outbreak of plague. It was seen as a bad place and was eventually abandoned.
Because of this, the old crow wanted to take care of this place, and the people of the town agreed.
And because of the presence and management of the old crow, the smell of corpses in the bell tower no longer emitted.
"Plague body, what is that?" Ah Li was a little puzzled.
Only Chu Yang knew that this plague body was similar to the blood witch body found in his own mansion, and these were all evil works of the same era.
No one knows how old they were, and there is no historical record.
At least, on the bright side, few people know about the existence of these special physiques.
"As the name suggests, it is a powerful corpse that can create a plague, and although it is now dead, it can still passively create a plague. ”
"This thing is so terrible, why don't you destroy it?" Meng Yao was a little speechless.
