Chapter Ninety-One: Childe Seeks Revenge, Corpse Worm Puppet
Li Mu and Guo Hongming walked in a narrow alley, when the sun had set, and there was no light in this alley in the middle of the houses, which seemed a little dark and quiet.
The two of them knew that someone was following behind them, and they had bad intentions, but they didn't look back at all, they still talked happily with each other, and walked slowly all the way.
The people in the back seemed to think that the two of them didn't go deep enough, so they didn't move for a long time, and they kept suffixing it.
The two walked for another quarter of an hour or so, the alley in this Yedu was deep and long, and the speed of the two was not fast, but they did not get out of this alley for a long time. At this time, it seemed that the sky was getting dark, and the alley was even darker, Li Mu pretended to take out a fire fold and light it, and held it in his hand to illuminate it.
At this moment, Li Mu's eyebrows moved, and then he stopped in some surprise, and Guo Hongming also stopped with him and looked at him suspiciously.
Li Mu whispered: "I thought it was just some green-skinned bastards who didn't know what to do, but I didn't expect that the people who were scared away by you today came to seek revenge again." ”
Guo Hongming looked around suspiciously, and pricked up her ears again, but she couldn't hear any movement, she said with some amazement: "Uncle Li's ear power is so amazing?"
Li Mu shook his head and said nothing, letting her and herself wait here.
After dozens of breaths, several people walked step by step from the darkness in front of Li Mu. Li Mu squinted his eyes, and with his night vision ability, he could clearly see a total of five people coming, and the young man who was scared away by Guo Hongming earlier was behind, with a ruthless look in his eyes, looking at Guo and Li who were standing with fire.
Li Mu's eyes only swept over the young man, and then he focused his attention on the four people walking side by side in front of him.
The alley was only a few feet wide, and the four of them walked side by side like this, so that they could be accommodated. But the men walked in unison, walking in the cramped alley, without the slightest appearance of being restricted, but with a bit of a leisurely stroll—provided that you don't look at their faces.
Li Mu had only paid attention to their steps before, but when he saw the faces of these four people clearly, Rao was in his mind, and his face couldn't help but change, and a sense of shock appeared in his eyes.
These four men in white robes, wearing black hats, and behaving in the same manner, looked exactly the same! And the faces of these four men were almost transparent, and at night, with their monotonous dress, strange movements, and expressionless faces, there was really a sense of ghostly and demonic feeling.
These people got closer, and when they were still about five zhang away from Li Mu and the others, they finally stopped. His steps were the same, but he still didn't say a word, staring at Li Mu with godless eyes. Li Mu frowned slightly, these five people not only looked like ghosts and ghosts, but they didn't even breathe, which made him a little uncertain for a while.
After these people approached, Guo Hongming faintly saw their faces clearly, and immediately turned pale with fright, and one hand tightly grabbed Li Mu's sleeve. Li Mu couldn't help laughing, after all, she was a woman, and it was estimated that she had read a lot of records about the Yin Ghost in the door, and in the face of the existence of these four non-human and non-ghost, she would be so out of shape. He patted Guo Hongming's right hand that was tugging at the corner of her clothes, signaling her to relax and not be afraid.
Guo Hongming looked at Li Mu's gentle and determined eyes, and for some reason her heart jumped, and the sense of fear disappeared, replaced by a strange emotion. Her face was a little hot for a while, and she didn't dare to look at Li Mu, so she only grabbed the corner of her clothes tightly with her right hand-
Li Mu didn't care about the change in Guo Hongming's mood for the time being, but raised his head and stared at the four people, or the four ghosts. The four things also stared at him with their eyes, but they did not speak or move.
Li Mu was a little impatient, and said to the young man behind these four things: "Behind those four ghost things, there is that son, what are you looking for us? If you want revenge, hurry up, this son has to hurry——"
As soon as Li Mu's "four ghost things" came out, the young man did not speak, and the four things standing in front of him suddenly changed their faces, and they looked at Li Mu with vicious eyes. A thick layer of white powder fell off the faces of the four things, revealing their rotten faces behind them, and a foul stench came out.
When the young man smelled the stench, his expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly took out a bell-like thing from his arms, and then shook it indiscriminately, shaking his head and saying something in his mouth.
After a while, he pointed at Li Mu and the others: "Kill the man for me and capture the woman." After saying this, he turned around and ran the same way, Li Mu heard his footsteps, but knew that he had not run far, and stopped at a corner a hundred zhang away.
Li Mu looked at the four ghosts with white ashes on their faces over there, and asked in his nose about the disgusting smell of corpses, he didn't know the details of the other party, so he didn't dare to be careless.
Li Mu patted Guo Hongming's right hand pulling the corner of her clothes, and said softly: "Senior nephew Guo took a few steps back, I came to send these four things that are not human and ghosts." ”
The look of worry on Guo Hongming's face flashed, at this time, she had forgotten about Li Mu killing the middle stage of Huafan alone.
However, she is not an unreasonable daughter, and after saying a word of caution to Li Mu, she retreated more than ten zhang away according to her words, looking at this side nervously.
Suddenly there was a breathing sound from the mouths of the four ghosts—yes, it was obviously four ghosts, but the breathing sound was the same, as if it came from one mouth. Immediately, the white ash on their faces collapsed like blowing sand, revealing four pus-filled and rotten sheets inside. The stench of the sky came to his nose, and Li Mu quickly held his breath before he felt better. Just looking at those rotten faces, Li Mu still felt very uncomfortable.
At this time, how could he not know that the four ghost-like things in front of him were probably corpse puppets refined by a demonic person, but he didn't know how the man known as "Little Grandpa" got involved with that kind of person?
This corpse puppet is not easy to refine, and if you take out four in a row, I am afraid that it is only a cultivator who has practiced for at least twenty years and is above the middle stage of transformation to have enough time and energy to refine it successfully, but I don't know how powerful it is.
He had previously seen a rough look at the refining method of this corpse puppet in the sect's classics, saying that it was to remove the living corpse that had been buried for no more than three days and had no obvious damage to the body, and implant a corpse worm in its body - the corpse worm is a kind of Gu worm. This kind of Gu worm burrows into the corpse, eats its brain, lies dormant in it, and slowly lays eggs, these eggs inhabit the corpse, eat its internal organs, but do not eat its flesh, and then fall into a deep sleep.
At this time, the corpse worm in the corpse puppet's brain will crawl into the corpse, eat the sleeping corpse larvae, and then fall into hibernation. And those who want to refine this puppet must take advantage of this time to take out the corpse worm and use the ghoul secret technique. and make him confess that he is Lord.
The main difficulty in refining the corpse puppet lies in this, although this big corpse insect is dormant, but its ontological consciousness and wisdom are not low, and when it encounters this kind of person who wants to take it as a servant, it is naturally better to die than obey. There are often corpse insects that refuse to obey the master who cultivates this technique, and even worse, once they are defeated, they will explode and die, so that those who want to subdue it will also be injured, and some powerful corpse insects, when they encounter a weak master, will even retaliate against their master, devouring their spiritual wisdom.
Refining this corpse puppet is troublesome to find the corpse, it is troublesome to subdue the corpse worm, and it is even more troublesome after subduing, and it is necessary to constantly sharpen the corpse puppet with his own divine sense, and place his divine consciousness in his body for 7749 days to teach it to use the body of the human race. Think about it for at least forty-nine days, constantly entrusting your divine consciousness in a corpse, making it fly up and down, walking, and practicing martial arts...... It is estimated that most people will shudder.
But once this corpse puppet is successfully refined and trained, it has a lot of power. A cultivator in the middle stage of transformation can refine it and place part of his divine consciousness on it, and even let this corpse puppet temporarily possess the power of the early stage of transformation. And most importantly, this thing knows no pain, no fear, infinite strength, body like steel, and action like the wind, wisdom is equivalent to that of a teenager, and it is extremely difficult to deal with.
Imagine if a mid-stage cultivator fights with others, and when both sides can't help each other, and one side suddenly releases one or even several corpse puppets that don't know pain and fear, how can others beat him? Therefore, although this corpse puppet has always been despised by mainstream cultivators, there are still many low-level evil cultivators and casual cultivators who take risks to cultivate.
At this time, a series of four corpse puppets appeared in front of Li Mu, and he knew that today's matter was tricky. These four corpse puppets should have no divine sense of sustenance, so their strength is roughly equivalent to the appearance of the Great Perfection Period, and Li Mu thinks he can deal with it. The question is, what is the intention of the real owners of these corpse puppets who are hiding in the shadows?
Li Mu looked at the corpse puppet that pounced on him, and there was not much fear in his eyes. In the final analysis, this thing is just a dead thing, it is completely dominated by the corpse insects that live in the body, no matter how fast and powerful it is, how can it compare to him, a primordial demon wearing human skin? These corpse puppets came with the same pace, the same demeanor, and even the same inhalation, and when they attacked Li Mu this time, their movements were finally inconsistent. The two corpse puppets in the middle jumped up first, and the left and right two galloped over directly, using their entire bodies as weapons, and slammed into Li Mu.
What is very ridiculous is that the two corpse puppets jumping high did not pay attention to what was above their heads—above their heads was exactly where the bridge of an attic was located, and this bridge was probably built to facilitate the passage of the two families, but unexpectedly suffered from this catastrophe, and was torn apart by the two pickled goods, and there was a loud noise.
When someone heard this voice, they came out to look at it and scolded them, and when they saw the two corpse puppets that had fallen to the ground and their faces were full of abscesses, they screamed in fright and ran away.
