Chapter 162 Secret Passage
Maybe in reality, time passes by just a blink of an eye, but to me it seems like a century has passed.
When I finally broke free from that weird fear and woke up, I was not full of strength like before when the Earth Spirit Pearl was revived. Instead, I was extremely weak. My clothes were soaked with sweat. I was panting heavily.
I felt weak and weak, as if a gust of wind could blow me down. On the contrary, the Baipi knife in my hand became extra heavy, and the talismans carved on the knife with blood became brighter and brighter, as if they were imprinted with some special material.
It was difficult to wipe off. It was obviously just a one-handed knife, but I had to hold it with both hands. Even so, I was still powerless. I could only relax a little by breathing heavily.
Then, I moved and staggered towards the demon corpse.
At this moment, the opponent was like an invincible violent beast, charging rampantly, smashing the pottery figurines to pieces, so that there was a faint smell of blood all around. Lao Bai and Wan Niang'er had no power to fight back, so they could only dodge in all directions.
, full of dangers.
I was getting closer and closer to it. What was strange was that the other party seemed not to know my existence at all. Even when it turned around to face me, it simply ignored me.
Can't see it?
I don't know much about it, I just know that the Baipi Sword at this time is too weird and hard to figure out. Holding it in my hand, I can't even run like a normal person. I approach slowly step by step. Every step I take is extremely laborious. Even
, when I stood behind it, I had to stop and rest for a while because my physical strength was unsustainable.
At this time, it only needs to turn around and give me a slap, and I will die right here!
Lao Bai and Wan Niang'er both changed their colors and kept winking at me while dodging. Unfortunately, time seemed to freeze at this moment. I didn't move, and Mo Luo Shi didn't react at all. They didn't know my strange situation at the moment.
Even the communication process between me and Chang Yao was completely unknown to them. Probably because they really couldn't understand this strange scene, and they couldn't just sit back and watch something happen to me, the two of them almost made the same choice in unison, turning around and rushing towards Mo Luo Shi.
Ouch!
The demon corpse raised its head and roared, spraying a large amount of white mist from its mouth and nose, and the smell of corpse filled the air.
Then, I raised the knife and slashed it down.
The roar stopped abruptly.
After a while, the opponent started from his right shoulder to his left waist and slapped his upper body to the ground, but his lower body still stood there.
Everything is that simple!
Only one knife!
Because the opponent was tall, I tried my best, but I could only throw the Baipi knife on his shoulder, and then like a knife cutting tofu, I passed through the opponent's invulnerable body.
As thin and fragile as a piece of paper!
The strange talisman on the long and narrow blade disappeared. I felt as if I had been relieved at this moment. I felt a light touch in my hand, and I sat down on the ground with the knife in hand.
Lao Bai and Wan Niang'er had already stood in the middle of the road, their expressions probably more exciting than seeing a ghost, until the Baipi knife turned into a black stick at a speed visible to the naked eye and fell to the ground, making a crisp "ding-dong" sound.
When the sound rang, the two of them suddenly woke up and ran towards me quickly.
"What the hell is going on?"
Lao Bai supported me and exclaimed: "Where did you get the strength? Could it be that the thing that couldn't turn into bones appeared again last time? But... you don't look like you have been possessed!"
I didn't answer. It wasn't that I was cold, but that my throat was dry and hoarse. I couldn't say a word. It was as if all the moisture in my body had turned into sweat and evaporated from my pores. I just subconsciously raised my hand, and my fingertips were not there.
I was trembling all the time. Every time I thought about the feeling that Baipi Knife gave me, my soul was surrounded by boundless fear. My body also showed a state that only occurs when there is low blood sugar and extreme hunger. Every muscle was constantly pumping.
Trembling and panicking.
"I seem to have vaguely grasped something."
Suddenly, Zhang Yao's voice sounded in my heart: "It was a very strange feeling. At that moment, it seemed as if the Tianguan Blade and the Earth Spirit Pearl were connected into one. It might be an illusion, or it might be something else. In short, I can't say what happened.
It’s a weird feeling, a particularly evil one. However, I am very sure about one thing. The reason why the other person can’t feel you is because of the earth veins!!!”
According to her, the senses of zombies all come from the earth's energy. However, the earth spirit beads are bred from the dragon veins and are the mother of the earth's veins. The moment I fully woke up, I almost merged with the earth's energy here.
Being one body is the best disguise. In the eyes of ghosts, it is almost the same as being invisible.
In other words, at that time, I was completely transparent in the eyes of Mo Luo Shi!
"However, this method is too evil, so try not to use it in the future."
Yao Yao said softly: "To be honest, this may be the secret of your courtesy officer, and I can only see some of the most superficial things, but in just a short moment, you lost a lot of blood essence on your body.
No matter where you go, there are deeper losses that you can’t see, maybe... a long life! Anyway, it’s not a last resort. You really shouldn’t try this method in the future. I feel like you will die within a few times!"
After saying this, she thought for a while and added: "It doesn't matter if you die, the key is not to implicate me!"
Actually, where is the use of what she said? Even if I were asked to use it again, I probably wouldn’t dare to use it.
It was such a terrifying feeling. The knife in my hand seemed to be alive. Instead, I became its nourishment. As long as I was happy, I could come up and take a bite. If I used it a few more times, I felt like my spirit would collapse!
At this time, Lao Bai probably finally noticed the problem with my health. He took out a piece of chocolate that was so sweet that it was cloying and stuffed it into my mouth. He also poured a lot of water into my mouth without any reason. When my throat was wet,
For a moment, I even felt moved and wanted to cry.
Lao Bai asked me again what happened. Unfortunately, even Zhang Yao and I didn't understand this matter. How could we tell the truth?
"Come and take a look!"
Brother Yaozi's voice came from behind: "Old Diaoye is dying..."
Lao Bai helped me up and rushed over immediately. In just this moment, Lao Diaoye's state was completely different from before. His face showed a strange black and blue color, and he no longer had the strength to cover his stomach.
There was a wound on his stomach, and his hands were hanging on his sides. Only then did I see clearly that his belly had been cut with a cut of more than ten centimeters, and his intestines were leaking out. The surrounding skin and flesh were even blacker and exuded a putrid smell.
This is obviously a corpse poison!
Presumably, during the process of falling down with Mo Luo Zhi, he got entangled with the other party and was cut open by the other party!
Brother Yao Zi is particularly fond of this old birthday boy. He probably belongs to the category of tough guys and is the same kind of person as him. There must be a feeling of sympathy for each other. At this time, he did not say a word, just silently stuffing his intestines back, but he always
It didn't work either. He was obviously a very thin old man, and he definitely couldn't be described as having a belly full of fat intestines. But after the belly was ruptured, it seemed to become extremely crowded inside, and the intestines would slide out very quickly after being stuffed inside.
This is definitely a nerve-challenging scene.
I felt like I couldn't stand it anymore, but Lao Diaoye was very calm, with his head slightly raised, and he patted Brother Yaozi's hand to tell him to stop doing useless work.
I gently shook off Lao Bai's arm that was holding me, squatted down, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Grandpa, I'm afraid I'm sorry for you. I can't bury you like I buried Qi Ye and Xiao Zhe..."
…”
"No, baby, I feel at ease just lying here..."
The old man shook his head, breathed heavily, coughed twice, and murmured to himself as if he was having a flashback.
He said that when he offended a big family in the mountain farm, he ran here and collapsed on the grassland from hunger. When he collapsed in an unfamiliar place during the war-torn years, the outcome was basically doomed, but he was lucky.
, was saved by a herdsman family in the pastoral area with a bowl of goat's milk. If we really want to reckon with it, all the remaining 100 years of his life were in vain. He came from Guandong and relied entirely on himself.
He worked hard to earn a living, lived a clean life, and owed it to him for the rest of his life. Now he finally settled the debt and felt at ease. He didn't need a thin-skinned coffin to seek peace of mind. He had his own peace of mind.
After saying that, his eyes became distracted and unfocused. I don't know if he saw the eagle soaring over the grassland or smelled the aroma of Shandong green onion pancakes. In short, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, just like what he said
, he had his own peace of mind and did not need this pile of loess and thin-skinned coffin. When he closed his eyes, he just said one sentence intermittently - Baby, go on, save people!
"Burn it!"
I sighed, wiped the corners of my mouth, and gently covered his half-opened eyes.
Lao Bai and Zhang Xinya were probably in the best condition among us, so the matter naturally fell on them. They carried Lao Diao Ye away and burned the body in a corner soon after.
We rested here for a long time and set off again.
However, my condition is getting worse and worse. Even if I eat and drink enough, my body is still shaking non-stop, sweating constantly, and swaying from time to time. I feel that the temperature around me continues to drop, getting colder and colder.
Chang Yao said, This is probably a sequelae, but I am already very good. After the last heavenly official did this, he felt as if he was about to die soon, and he was unable to speak.
Brother Yaozi analyzed it for me and felt that my vitality may have been lost. After I returned to the Zhenwu Temple, I asked my master to give me a prescription and warm it up for a while.
Seeing that my life was safe, I was completely relieved and followed them up to the altar again.
Except for the two statues, it is empty, nothing else, and nothing out of the ordinary.
However, it is this lack of difference that becomes the biggest difference in my eyes!
All the pottery figurines are worshiping here. After the tombs reach here, there is no way, which shows something!
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any way out for a while, so Lao Bai got impatient, so he walked around here with a crowbar, knocking everywhere, and used stupid methods.
Brother Yaozi laughed at him and said that there was so much hard work in this place, and even if he could knock it out casually, he would not be able to cope with the amount of work.
As a result, maybe it was a blind cat that encountered a dead mouse, and Lao Bai actually discovered something unusual. Right below the statue of the Great God Coiled Snake, when he hit it with a crowbar, there was an obvious echo on the ground!
In other words, there is a secret passage there!!
Lao Bai was overjoyed, and gave Brother Yaozi a look of understanding. He picked up a sledgehammer and hit it hard. After a few hammer blows, the surrounding stone slabs were completely destroyed, and a dark metal color was exposed underneath. It was actually an iron plate.
, but the thickness is amazing, much scarier than the tomb door.
I went up and touched it, and there was an obvious gap in the iron plate. I found something light and thin and inserted it along the gap to try. I am afraid that this iron thing is at least half a meter thick!
With such a big thing blocking the secret passage, it is obviously not something that can be pried by humans. There must be machinery controlling it.
Coupled with the fact that things like this tomb and the old fox can come in and out at any time, it means that this mechanism must be a living mechanism that can control the switch at any time.
But, where is the switch?
I silently looked at the two tall statues and fell into silence...
Chapter completed!
