Chapter 17: The Corpse Chaser

"Really, the gold ingot you threw out earlier, I thought it was going to crush the innkeeper to death. Su Changfa rolled his eyes and complained.

"I used to be a monk, so how could I kill at will. ”

"Well, now we're surrounded by people. ”

"Just rush out, and it doesn't take much effort. ”

"I don't think it's that simple. ”

"What's not simple, is your little apprentice taken hostage by them? Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a while. ”

Su Changfa stood up, straightened his waist, and said to Jin Shiyi very seriously: "Old Jin, don't be so good-looking, you go back and look at them, these people ······ Abnormal. ”

Earlier, when they were still arguing about whether Su Changfa should go to Tangmen, villagers came over one after another, and they were still bringing guys, shovels, hoes, dung forks, etc., obviously with bad intentions. Originally, they were just standing from a distance and watching, and they didn't rely on the strength of the crowd to hug up with dung forks, so Su Changfa and Jin Shiyi didn't care about this. In a remote small village like this, where there are only a few dozen households, and there is no shop in front of the village, the neighbors help each other and twist into a rope to unite with the outside world, which is originally the way of survival of the small village, or it can also be called the people's strong customs. Without this kind of fierce and even unreasonable folk customs, then such a village would be reduced to a place of robbers and thieves who ransack all year round, and those who ran away would not be able to gather popularity at all.

The so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, it is not unreasonable, nor is it without hardships, they are all forced by life.

So at first, Su Changfa thought that the money was not in place, and the innkeeper was angry but came with the neighbors to seek revenge. But seeing that there were more and more people in this group, which had exceeded the size of the number of people in this village, Su Changfa gradually realized that the situation was wrong.

Jin Shiyi tilted his neck and looked back, only to see that it was a group of people who had already surrounded the two of them in a circle at the core. The circle is shrinking, and these people are constantly approaching them. Originally, there was nothing to be afraid of, but the strange thing was that these people were all as white as paper and their eyes were dull, and they all looked like dead people! The innkeeper was also among these people, and his face no longer had the ruddy breath of a living person before, and it became miserable and white.

There are some people in the crowd who are even more outrageous and terrifying, the flesh on their bodies can no longer be hung, and they fall down like clods of earth after a few steps, revealing their white bones, and their walking posture is even more twisted and weird, and their upper bodies leaning forward drag two stiff legs forward, some of their ankle joints have even been misaligned, and their toes are folded in front of the heels, making it painful to walk on. Where is this person, this is clearly a corpse that has just been dug out of the soil!

However, these corpses had to act like living people, and their cloudy eyeballs purred in their sockets, and they showed a mechanical and exaggerated smile at Jin Su and the others. His footsteps slipped, he fell to the ground, and his eyeballs fell out of his sockets and rolled out of his sockets.

Jin Shiyi originally didn't take these villagers to heart, but now he saw such a thing unsuspectingly, he was a Taoist person, and he had experienced the dangers of the rivers and lakes, but he really didn't kill anyone himself, and his stomach was turbulent and he immediately bent on the ground and vomited.

"Calm and calm, it's all small scenes, Brother Jin, you have to hold on. Su Changfa held Jin Shiyi with one hand and patted him on the back with the other.

At this time, a breeze blew, sending bursts of corpse stench into the noses of the two, Su Changfa couldn't stand the stench, his throat itched, and he helped Jin Shiyi and the two of them to vomit wildly.

"What the hell is going on, the means of chasing corpses in Xiangxi?" asked Su Changfa with a frown.

Jin Shiyi didn't answer, he just vomited, all the wine spit out, and now he began to spit out clear water. When he was almost vomited, Su Changfa helped him up and said to him: "These people are getting tighter and tighter, Brother Jin, there is no time, hurry up and clear the field." Remember, be soft, I think there are still living people in here. ”

Jin Shiyi didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he had already used his internal strength, and suddenly a mellow and majestic true qi surged out from his body, pushing the villagers and zombies around them several meters away like a tidal wave. He was afraid that there would really be a way for the corpse chasers to hide in the shadows, so he didn't exercise much restraint when he released his true qi, and simply stunned all the dead and alive.

"I don't understand," Jin Shiyi said, "You also stayed at the stage of the Great Grandmaster, why have I never seen you use this method?"

Su Changfa laughed dryly, "My body, I can't bear to play like this." ”

On the other side, in the basement, Zhou Yuan was still groping for the secret door on the wall. To his annoyance, not only did he not find the secret door to the other areas of the secret room, but he couldn't even find the door he had entered.

Despite this, it was not for nothing, and after some exploration, he found that there were other mysteries on the walls and floors of this secret room.

The four walls of this chamber are carved with intricate and dense tadpole patterns. Zhou Yuan originally thought that since he couldn't even find the secret door he came in, there must be a mechanism in the secret door that automatically locked after it was closed. There is a lock between the secret door and the wall, so no matter how much you try, you can't push the secret door open.

Then there must be a lock switch somewhere on this wall, otherwise the dirty man before would not have been able to get out of here. The switch to unlock the lock is either hidden somewhere in the tadpole inscription marked on this wall, or it is inconvenient to hide it in the ground carved with some kind of formation pattern.

At first, Zhou Yuan hoped to find the switch on the tadpoles on the wall, so his fingers followed the trajectory of the tadpoles swimming on the wall. After poking for a long time, the mechanism was not found, but he was dazzled by these floating tadpoles because he had been sticking to the wall for a long time, and there were some signs of delirium, he watched these small tadpoles carved on the wall shake their heads and tails, and one by one they came to life from the wall, and jumped out of the stone wall as soon as their tails wrenched, swimming around in front of his eyes.

Zhou Yuan knew that he was hallucinating, and he was vigilant in his heart, for fear that he would accidentally fall into someone else's way. Seeing these little tadpoles wandering in front of his eyes, his hands could not be waved, so he simply closed his eyes, emptied his brain, and did not think or do anything, only in this way could he wake up from the hallucination.

After he emptied his mind and entered a meditative state, there was a blank space in his mind for a moment, and after a while, out of nowhere, a small tadpole swam in, and then a second and a third appeared······

"I,!" Zhou Yuan spread his hands and gave up thinking.

I don't know what these lingering little tadpoles in my mind will do with him, and there is no way to deal with it at the moment, so Zhou Yuan simply ignores it and continues to check the wall inch by inch with his fingers.

Although Zhou Yuan deliberately ignored it, there were still more and more tadpoles around him. Zhou Yuan closed his eyes, and there were more and more tadpoles in his mind. These small tadpoles swim with their tails, many but not chaotic, and there seems to be some kind of pattern in the trajectory of swimming.

If these little tadpoles were chaotic and blind, Zhou Yuan would have no way to take them. But now that they have a pattern to swimming······ The law can naturally be found and cracked, Zhou Yuan's heart ignited hope again, he sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to concentrate on observing the swimming trajectory of these little tadpoles.
