Chapter 241: There is someone halfway
The surface of the lake, which should have been calm under the underground gate, splashed from time to time, and wisps of fishy red blood rolled out from the bottom of the water, and the blood slowly drifted away with the fluctuations of the water lines.
The waves rolled, and five more people rushed out of the water, and they quickly came to the shore close to the water, it was the three elders of the demon clan and the four great King Kongs.
I saw that the three elders raised their noses and sniffed the air, looked down at the footprints that had not yet dried, and hurriedly said, "They just left, let's hurry up." ”
As soon as the words fell, the five demons stepped on the grass and flew away.
In a moment, a large blister rose on the surface of the lake, and in the blister sat an old man in a pale blue robe, and behind him were four glamorous black-robed witches, who were none other than the sorcerers and his four attendants.
The water bubbles are crystal clear, the surrounding scenery can be seen clearly, and there is enough air for the five people inside to breathe freely.
The blister soon docked on the shore, and with a slight wave of his sleeves, the blister floated onto the shore of the lake.
Suddenly, the blister disappeared and turned into a yellow paper charm and floated into the sleeve of the handsome shirt.
"Brother Bai's spirit talisman is amazing, there are all kinds of things, so that our sisters are envious. A black-robed sorceress said coquettishly.
"Huh...... These talismans are nothing, and if you like them, I'll have time to draw a few for each of you. Changesome put the two charming attendants beside him in his arms and smiled heartily.
The two attendants who were left out pouted and looked very unhappy, humming and chirping.
Bai Changshuai gently pushed the two delicate attendants in his arms away, turned around and hugged the other two beauties who pretended to be angry in his arms, and said with a wicked smile: "I love to see you angry, and when the things here are done, I will definitely clean up the few of you when I go back." Haha......"
"Brother Bai, they are all far away, you still have the heart to play. A black-robed witch reminded.
"Okay, let's catch up. ”
Bai Chang Shuai said with a smile, only to see the sleeves of his robe waved lightly, and after a cloud of white smoke, there was a white paper boat floating in the air, like a bigger shoe.
The five of them jumped onto the paper boat, and the handsome waved the sleeves of their robes again, and the paper boat slid quickly against the grass, leaving a white tail line, like a faint mist.
With a bang, a golden light rushed out of the lake and flew down on the shore, it was Su Yi among the cultivators. He looked at the blood bubbles tumbling out of the lake, and lamented: "Lu Ping, it was for the sake of the teacher's carelessness that he actually buried you in the belly of the fish, and when the teacher gets the treasures in the gods, he will definitely come here to kill all the fish in the lake and avenge your hatred." ”
Sou!
The golden light was far away from the ground, disappearing into the vast fog and grass.
Zhou Feng and the snow walked side by side, jumping against the tall grass. Every time the two of them passed through the grass, they would alarm several giant insects, some flapping their wings and fleeing, some burrowing into the grass, and some hiding under the wide young leaves to sneak a peek.
These insects are diverse, there are caterpillars of various patterns, there are beautiful butterflies fluttering, there are also brute force beetles with black armor, their body length is more than two meters, although they are big, but they are very small, a little wind and grass and run away.
In this dense grass, not a single beast was found, not even a bird, so that the insects here are overflowing, everywhere, but the insects have their food chains among them, there are herbivores, there are carnivorous insects, insects eat grass, insects eat insects, so that this large grassland maintains a certain growth environment.
The silver light of the sky shone down through the thick fog, making this world only day and night. Zhou Feng and the others didn't know how long they had been walking, but they never crossed this big grassland.
Xue Zhong searched according to the road map in his mind, and found that he had only taken a small step from the ruins of the gods, and there was still a long way to go.
There was no danger along the way, no footprints left by ancestors, and not a single human bone, which is very different from the place of death, if for the leisurely and elegant people, this place is like a paradise.
Suddenly, several figures flashed through the cracks in the grass, and in an instant, they disappeared.
Xue Zhongzhu quickly grabbed Zhou Feng's arm and jumped into the grass, the gap between the wide blades of grass was not spacious, and the staggering was complicated, making it difficult to walk. Zhou Feng and Xue Zhong clinged to a blade of grass, probing the breath around them.
"Brother Pig, how many figures do you see?" Zhou Feng asked in a low voice.
"There are about seven or eight, but I can't feel the breath on them, they are all ordinary people, but how can there be people living in this place of death?" Xue Zhongzhu wondered.
"Brother Pig, if you don't keep an eye here, I'll go to the front to find out the situation. Zhou Feng was about to leave as he spoke.
"Let's go together. ”
In the snow, Zhou Feng didn't worry about going alone, she and Zhou Feng jumped off the blades of grass and groped in the direction of those figures along the gaps in the ground.
In the grass, there were eight figures lurking among the blades of grass, including a child of eight or nine years old. These people were wrapped in blades of grass, bare-limbed and barefoot. Their body shape is no different from that of a normal person, their long hair is unkempt, and their faces are covered with dirt, as if they have not been washed in a long time, like primitive savages.
Eight people lay quietly among the blades of grass, their eyes staring ahead. If you look closely, their eyes are deep and hollow, and there is a feeling of loss of soul.
In the sight of these people, there was a grasshopper gnawing on young leaves, moving slowly step by step, getting closer and closer to the eight people.
A middle-aged man with a long beard leaped up to his feet with a one-meter-long bone knife, like a nimble ape and a ferocious cheetah. He jumped onto the grasshopper that was gnawing on the blades of grass, raised his bone knife and stabbed it hard at the green back, the grasshopper was about to struggle, and the others rushed over like jackals, tigers and leopards, and in an instant, a grasshopper more than two meters long was dismantled. Green insect fluid splashed on them, exuding the smell of green grass and a foul smell of insects.
The expressions of the eight people remained the same, and they were not happy because they had gained. They hold large chunks of insect flesh and greedily suck the flowing insect fluid until their stomachs are swollen and they can no longer eat.
This very greasy scene happened to be seen by the two people who rushed over, and they were extremely disgusting.
"Brother Pig, are these people wild people living here, how can they eat insects raw?" Zhou Feng grinned, fortunately he didn't eat, otherwise they would all have to vomit.
"You don't notice, these people are a little weird, they have blank expressions, they don't have blank eyes, they are not alive. Xue Zhongzhu said with a serious expression.
"What, it's not a person!" Zhou Feng didn't believe much in Xuezhongzhu's statement, because he had yin and yang eyes and didn't see anything suspicious.
"They are all half-yin people, that is to say, the bodies of these people are the corpses of dead people, and the wandering souls live in them, and the various functions of these corpses are intact, as long as there is energy to maintain, they will be well preserved for a period of time, and when the corpse begins to decay, the soul inside will find the next corpse. Xue Zhong explained to Zhou Feng one by one, and there was a lot of written knowledge.
"Since it's a dead soul, why bother to find a corpse?" Zhou Feng still asked Xue Zhongchai in confusion.
Seeing that Zhou Feng still had doubts, Xue Zhongzhu continued to explain: "The soul here should be trapped here for a long time, unable to reach the underworld to be reincarnated. If the soul wanders outside all the year round and the yin qi is lost, it will become weaker and weaker, and even disappear. There is no night here, and the excess of yang energy will speed up the dissipation of the soul, and these wandering spirits can only live in the corpse to absorb the yin energy and block the invasion of yang energy. ”
"According to Brother Pig, these corpses maintain energy supply all year round, and that is no different from a living person. Zhou Feng looked at those half-yin people, their hands and feet were nimble, and their movements were skillful, no different from living people.
"The half-yin person can only rely on the soul to control the brain nerves and regulate the movements of the body, but they can't give the dead corpse the spirit and energy, what is the difference between the person without the spirit and the walking corpse. "Xue Zhongchai's words are very clear, if Zhou Feng doesn't understand again, then he is definitely a lump of wood.
Zhou Feng finally nodded, and then he asked again: "Brother Pig, I have one more question I want to ask you, that is, where did the soul of the dead corpse itself go?"
Xue Zhongzhu smiled slightly, and said patiently: "Those souls may be hidden, or they may be eaten, and in this world of the weak and the strong, souls are no exception." ”
Zhou Feng swallowed a mouthful of foam fiercely, it is not easy for this person to live, it seems that it is even more difficult after death, if there is a breath, everyone still lives well and cherishes every day.
Although Zhou Feng and Xue Zhongzhu's conversation lowered their voices, they still did not escape the perception of those half-yin people.
The little boy, who was only eight or nine years old, suddenly turned his head to look at Zhou Feng and Xuezhongzhu's hiding place, his deep black eyes were as hollow as a bottomless abyss, and like two ethereal black holes, which seemed to be able to swallow everything.
The little boy's actions also attracted the attention of other half-yin people. The bearded man wiped away the insect fluid dripping from the corner of his mouth, and he carefully walked towards the grass where Zhou Feng and the others were with a bone knife, his godless eyes revealing caution and ferocity.
Xue Zhongzhu didn't flee far away from Zhou Feng, they actually drilled out the blades of grass and walked towards those half-yin people.
The main purpose of coming to the hinterland of Wanyuan Mountain in the snow is to find the whereabouts of his parents, whether they are alive or dead. The half-yin person in front of him happens to be a good place to explore, so how can you miss it.
Seeing Zhou Feng and the two walking steadily, the bearded man paused, the bone knife was raised slightly, his expressionless face actually changed slightly, and the corners of his mouth grinned, I don't know whether it was excitement, sadness, or coldness.
"You came from above?" the man spoke, his voice old and powerful.
On the surface, this man is only in his thirties, but the voice he makes is like that of an eighty-year-old man, needless to say, this must be a parasitic soul.
"Yes. ”
Xue Zhongzhu replied very dryly, with a slight smile on his face.
"You're here to explore the ruins of the gods?" the man's voice grew a little chilled.
"It's not. Xue replied.
"Oh! the first time I've met it, it's weird!" the man's voice was full of surprise.
