The night is like ink.

This night, He Yi did not sleep peacefully.

He was a cautious person, and at this time, he was backed by the strange stone statue of the snow god, and the strong wind outside the temple was as strong as a ghost crying, which made him upset and uneasy.

The night is getting deeper, the bonfire in the temple is gradually burning out, a temple in Nuoda only leaves a little glow like fireflies, in the dim light, He Yi suddenly heard a little noise outside, and the afterglow looked, the closed temple gate, but suddenly opened a gap.

The cold wind swept into the temple, blowing down a talisman attached to the door, and the temperature dropped sharply by a few minutes.

He Yi suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to grasp the falling talisman in his hand, and then glanced at the four Zhong family members who were resting against the wall next to him.

According to them, once this manifestation talisman encounters a filthy ghost, it will spontaneously burn and turn into an open flame to attach to the ghost's body, forcing it to manifest its true body.

But the talisman didn't work, and there were no signs of burning on it, it was just a strong gust of wind blowing open the temple door.

He Yi walked over, pasted the talisman on the door again, thought about it, and walked out of the temple.

I can't sleep anyway, so instead of waiting, I might as well go out and re-investigate the clues.

...... ......

After the middle of the night, the snow outside was already very thick, and when I stepped on it, it immediately sank into my ankles.

The snowflakes falling from the sky were as big as goose feathers, and they rolled down one after another, like smoke and fog, as if the whole world was shrouded in the vast snow. Such a grand snow scene rarely appears even in the coldest part of winter, and it is even more abrupt in this period when the temperature warms up from winter to spring.

"Huh, that's ......."

He Yi walked around the Snow Temple, and by the slight moonlight, he found that there were a series of potholes on the snow in front of him, like the footprints of pedestrians, although they were covered a little by the university, they were still faintly visible.

He roughly counted the number of footprints, and there should have been at least seventy or eighty people passing by, and it wasn't long ago.

As for the direction in which the footprints extend...... Lijia Village!

He suddenly remembered what the little doll in Lijia Village had said before, that every midnight, those villagers who disappeared for no reason would turn into walking corpses, go and return, and attack the living in the village.

I wanted to follow and take a look, but I stopped in my tracks.

Compared to what those walking corpses were going to do, He Yi was more curious about where their hiding place was.

Rather than following the past, it is better to wait for them to come back and follow them all the way to the lair of these walking corpses, so that the reason for this can be fully understood.

"Lord Taishou, do you have any new discoveries?" When He Yi returned to the Snow God Temple, Zhong Zhuo and Zhong Ci had already woken up from meditation, and they couldn't help but be a little stunned when they saw He Yi daring to walk out of the temple alone.

"I found some footprints, which should be the ones left by the walking corpses who lost their minds, as the villagers said. ”

After a pause, He Yi continued to express his worries: "There are a lot of those walking corpses. Moreover, they seem to have gone in the direction of Lijia Village. In this way, the convoy you left in Lijia Village ...... I'm afraid I'll be attacked by these walking corpses. ”

I don't know if the children of the Zhong family stationed in Lijia Village are ready to take precautions, although the walking corpse is not a powerful thing, but if there are enough of them, there will be a lot of trouble.

"It's okay, it's just a few walking corpses, and it won't pose a threat to the convoy. Zhong Zhuo was not afraid at all, and said nonchalantly, as if he was very confident in the children of his clan.

"Second uncle, even if there is a walking corpse, there must be something sneaky behind it. The five of us take turns keeping vigil to keep enough energy, wait for the walking corpses to return, and then follow them to find out the source, and then solve the hidden danger in one fell swoop. Zhong Ci said in a cold voice.

His words were related to He Yi's thoughts

When they came together, they did not object.

Anyway, He Yi didn't feel sleepy, so he let Zhong Zhuo, Zhong Ci, and the two Zhong family children continue to rest, and he walked out of the temple again, leaned back against the gate, stared at the snow-covered earth, and secretly became a night watchman, waiting for the walking corpses to go and return.

In the snowy temple, the only bit of noise suddenly fell silent, only the night wind wandered away, and the sound was like crying......

No one noticed that the strange stone statue of the snow god on the temple, the eyes under the miserable white stone mask, as if they had come to life, trembled slightly!

...... ......

The whole first half of the night was peaceful and peaceful.

He Yi has been guarding the door, and the four Zhong family members are also sitting upright in the temple, breathing steadily, like an old monk in meditation.

After a while, the snow god stone statue suddenly made a few inaudible "click, click" sounds, and then, there was a slender, faint gray mist, floating out from under the mask of the snow god stone statue, wandering in the air a few times, first drifting towards a Zhong family disciple closest to the stone statue.

Call!

The wind swept away, and immediately after, the Zhong family disciple suddenly opened his mouth, spit out a white smoke, and then opened his eyes indifferently.

"Little brother Zhong Ran, you can rest again! I can hold on a little longer. He Yi heard the movement in the temple, so he pushed the door and came in.

It's still early, and it's impossible for the walking corpses who went to Lijia Village to come back so soon, and they will deal with the sneaky ones for a while, and it will all depend on their Zhong family's ability to exorcise ghosts.

Therefore, during this precious rest time, He Yi also tried to give it up for them to recuperate.

“......”

Zhong Ran glanced at He Yi blankly and didn't speak, but his empty eyes immediately made He Yi vigilant.

That kind of gaze, He Yi couldn't be more familiar, every morning when washing, he would see this kind of gaze reflected in the basin of clear water, on his reflected face.

The hollow, sloppy, out-of-focus, dead man's eyes.

In the words of their Zhong family, this kind of look is...... The Walking Dead!

"Beware! This guy is possessed by sneak!"

He Yi immediately let out a loud roar, directly waking up the other Zhong family members who were sleeping, but they were still a step too late.

That Zhong Ran acted like a ghost, his movements were extremely fast, and when He Yi had just spoken, he suddenly crossed sideways and slapped it towards the nearest Zhong Ci.

The incident happened suddenly, Zhong Ci had just woken up, couldn't dodge, was hit on the left shoulder by this palm, and immediately spat blood and fell to the ground, almost fainting.

"Zhong Ran, how dare you" Zhong Zhuo saw that Zhong Ci was injured, his eyes were about to split, and he was furious, and when he saw that Zhong Ran was going to commit murder after a blow, he used all his strength in anger, and slashed at Zhong Ran with a sword, cutting off his entire arm.

But even so, Zhong Ran still picked up the broken arm as a weapon as if he was nothing, and with a miserable smirk, he continued to rush towards Zhong Zhuo and the others like crazy.

"The appearance of the walking corpse! Not good! That soul-eating demon must be hiding in the temple!"

The surrounding temple walls have long been plastered with manifest talismans, and if there is a sneaky person who wants to come in from the outside, it is impossible for the manifest talisman to burn without warning.

Zhong Zhuo quickly took out his sword, forced Zhong Ran's walking corpse back again, and then took out a ghost drawing talisman from his arms, stood side by side with another Zhong family disciple named Zhong Min, and used two "soul fixing talismans" to hit Zhong Ran's forehead and lower abdomen in succession.

"Haste as the law!"

Zhong Zhuo immediately recited the spell, and saw wisps of gray mist quickly burst out of Zhong Ran's seven orifices, and rushed towards the location of the snow god's stone statue as if fleeing.

"Broken!"

At this moment, He Yi on the side also made a movement in his hand.

The broken character was used, and the golden sword qi burst out of the air, preempting the gray mist before it escaped back to the stone statue

One step towards the stone statue.

He could see that the stone statue was the hiding place of this gray mist, and if he could successfully destroy the stone statue, then the sneaky thing hidden inside would be completely revealed under the effect of the manifestation talisman!

I thought so, but the actual result greatly exceeded He Yi's expectations.

The statue suddenly moved.

Rickety's waist instantly straightened, and he waved the crutch he was holding in his hand, hitting the side of the Demon Slaying Sword with great accuracy.

Hearing the sound of the "bell", the trajectory of the falling of the Demon Slaying Sword deviated, and the sword qi fell into the air, cutting an extremely long crack on the ground in front of the stone statue.

Immediately afterward, an incomparably rich cold aura erupted from the seven orifices of the stone statue and spread rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Snow Temple was covered with a thick layer of frost, hard as iron.

"Mr. Zhong, what the hell is this?"

With a miss, He Yi hurriedly retreated, looking around the left and right, the doors and windows of this temple had been sealed by frost, and it had completely turned into a frozen secret room.

In front of them, they were shrouded in a large white mist, which was already pitch black and invisible, but now it was even more blurry.

"Be careful, this is a snow ghost unique to the interior of the Northern Wilderness Snow Plain, I've only heard of it before, and this is the first time I've seen it......"

Zhong Zhuo's face and body were all covered with a layer of frost condensation, and the cold air was close to his heart, and he was trembling when he spoke: "It's too careless, we are still looking for the true body of the evil ghost everywhere, and it turns out that it has always been in front of us." ”

In order to prevent sneak attacks after nightfall, they also deliberately pasted a large number of appearance charms around the temple, but they didn't expect that the snow ghost had been lurking beside them from the beginning.

"Senior, you take Zhong Ci and them away first, since this guy has an entity, let me deal with it. He Yi put the Demon Slaying Sword in front of him and said cautiously.

The stone statue of the god of snow is still spewing a large amount of hoarfrost and cold, and the frost layer around it is getting thicker and thicker.

This cold air had a great impact on Zhong Zhuo and the others, and after a while, their faces turned blue after being frozen, but for He Yi, who had taken the Qilin Jade Fruit, it had no effect at all.

The cold of the Xuanying Snow Beast is so easy that it is not easy, besides, it is just a snow ghost?

He Yi raised his arm and waved his sword, but was immediately stopped by Zhong Zhuo.

"No, the snow ghost has no body, and this stone statue is just an attachment, so you must not destroy this stone statue! It is easy to deal with in this stone statue, and once it comes out of the stone statue, it will be even more difficult to find its true body!"

Zhong Zhuo held Zhong Ci who had fainted in one hand, and took out several fire-summoning talismans that were still around, forming several burning fireballs, which slowly circulated around him, and also dispelled the cold qi a few points.

The blazing light of the fire stained the mask on the face of the stone statue a touch of ruddy, and the dancing flames and waves of qi were reflected in the eyes of the statue, which was obviously a stone, but it also seemed to come to life, making it full of human breath, indescribably mysterious and terrifying.

Zhong Zhuo stretched out his hand and handed Zhong Ci to He Yi: "Lord Taishou, my nephew, I will trouble you!"

After that, Zhong Zhuo and Zhong Min each sacrificed magic weapons, cast spells, and the ghost exorcism runes appeared around the snow god stone statue out of thin air, forming a very obscure formation, and the golden light bloomed in an instant!

"Get out of here!"

Thousands of thread-like exorcism true qi firmly bound the snow god stone statue, and at the same time cut off the endless cold air.

He Yi took the opportunity to break open the frozen temple door, carried Zhong Ci on his shoulders, and rushed out quickly.
