Chapter 109: Chained Corpse
Suppressing Ghosts Temple, this building at the bottom of the lake is actually a temple?
I really don’t know how to name it. I haven’t heard that Bai Suzhen’s tower is called the Snake-Suppressing Temple. The name of this Ghost-Suppressing Temple is too vulgar.
Eh? That’s not right.
The buildings in the Nine Stars Realm of the Pre-Qin Dynasty didn’t look like temples before.
And the Nine Stars Mirror of the Pre-Qin Dynasty should show scenes from a very long time ago, such as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.
But the earliest temple introduced to my country was the White Horse Temple in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
This time doesn’t match.
In other words, this Ghost-Suppressing Temple should have appeared after the Nine Stars Mirror of the Pre-Qin Dynasty was filmed.
Could it be rebuilt here later?
But what is there to renovate in such a broken location at the bottom of the lake? It’s not the city center.
And from the view from above just now, it can be seen that the scale is not small.
Ji Han was puzzled, but there was no chance to explain to everyone at this time, so he had to save his thoughts and continue to explore.
As the four people swam in from the dilapidated main gate, they arrived at a courtyard. Most of the buildings here were made of stone, and it seemed that they were built a long time ago.
There were also some wooden materials, and the magical thing was that they were not decayed.
Ji Han had heard that the poplar trees in the northwest live for 1,000 years, do not fall down for 1,000 years, and do not rot for 1,000 years. Maybe that material is used.
Some buildings here have collapsed, but most are still well preserved.
As the four people swam over, the debris in the water began to fly.
At this time, Song Qian shook her diving light and pointed to the left front, as if she had discovered something.
The lights of the four people pointed to a pile of bricks and tiles that had collapsed in the left front of the courtyard.
Song Qian took the lead and swam over, but her body stopped as soon as she got nearby.
Everyone didn't stop and bumped into Song Qian.
Although they couldn't communicate in words, Song Qian stretched out her hand to stop the three people from continuing to go over, and pointed to the pile of rubble cautiously.
I saw a foot exposed in the rubble, close to the four people.
Chen Ke was startled and his body was uncoordinated in the water.
The foot exposed in the rubble was soaked very white.
This thing didn't rot in the water, it's incredible, could it be a zombie?
Everyone became cautious, no one dared to approach easily.
The game interface in front of Ji Han popped up the task again:
[Optional side task: Helpful]
[Description: Help the body trapped under the rubble to remove the garbage on it]
What a "helpful"!
If this is considered helpful, why don't I go to the cemetery to pry open the coffin to let the dead inside breathe?
At the same time, Ji Han saw the task price below:
[Reward: 8000]
Well, can you give the price first next time? I'll do psychological preparation earlier.
I'm a kind-hearted person who helps old ladies cross the road back and forth. Who else can do this kind of "helpful" task?
Ji Han raised his hand to call Song Qian and the other two to cover him, and motioned to go over to take a look.
Every time at this time, Ji Han took the initiative to stand up, which really made everyone feel very reliable.
Eggplant nodded and gave a thumbs up, as if to say, "You have guts."
Ji Han slowly swam towards the rubble, and Song Qian, Chen Ke and Eggplant followed.
Not knowing what Ji Han was going to do, the three of them surrounded him with harpoons in their hands. After all, water is not like land, where you can dodge quickly. If something unexpected really happened in the water, you can only resist, and there is no big drama in escaping, especially for someone like Ji Han who is not so good at swimming.
When Ji Han got close, he began to use the harpoon in his hand to poke the rubble, as if to dig out the person buried underneath.
Chen Ke thought to himself, do you still have to take a look even if you know it is a corpse? Brother Ji, you are too brave, aren't you?
Song Qian also reached out to move the rubble, and Eggplant and Chen Ke were on guard.
After several larger rubble bricks were moved away, the basic shape of the corpse below was also exposed, but because the rubble of the building brought a lot of suspended matter, the water here became turbid.
The corpse that was pressed under the rubble could not be seen clearly.
Ji Han wanted to grab the corpse's feet and pull him out, but he couldn't see the feet clearly because of the floating objects in front of him.
The four had to keep their distance and wait for the floating objects to calm down before they could start.
Chen Ke was swimming to the side, but he felt his feet tripped and looked back.
He saw a man with white eyes and a white body pulling his feet.
Chen Ke was so scared that he immediately thrashed in the water, but the corpse also pushed towards Chen Ke.
Ji Han and Qiezi also noticed Chen Ke's abnormality. Looking in the direction Chen Ke pointed, they saw a pale corpse behind him pulling him.
Ji Han thought, "Wow, it's really a corpse."
This is really pointing the way for the robbers, and a good thing turns into a bad thing.
The two hurriedly swam over and used the tail end of the harpoon to separate the pale corpse.
However, after separating, Ji Han found that he didn't feel much power from the harpoon.
The corpse was easily separated and floated backwards motionlessly.
But as Chen Ke turned his head and swam, the corpse followed him again.
Qiezi seemed to have discovered the reason. He held Chen Ke with one hand to prevent him from moving again, and with the other hand he held the floating corpse. The two kept a good distance and did not get closer this time.
Then Qiezi signaled Chen Ke not to move, and untied a chain from his feet.
As soon as the chain fell off, the pale corpse floated back to the ground again.
Chen Ke also felt his feet loosen.
The four of them were curious, so they swam towards the body in the water.
This was a male corpse. Except for a loincloth on the crotch, there was no other clothing on the body. His eyes were wide open and his long hair was scattered behind him.
Not only was the body of this male corpse not rotten, but even the loincloth on his body was not rotten. This was too strange.
Could it be that there was something wrong with the water here?
And the reason why it chased Chen Ke just now was also discovered. It was on its feet. A chain was locked on his feet.
The other end was connected to the pillar in the courtyard. It was because Chen Ke went to help just now and was accidentally caught by the chain on the ground. In a hurry, he didn't find it and kept struggling, and then he brought the body up, which seemed to be resurrected.
Chen Ke put his hands together in front of the corpse, as if saying:
"No offense, no offense."
However, this made everyone more surprised about this place. There was a temple under the water, and there was a corpse in the temple, and the corpse was still locked. What happened here?
Seeing that the amount of money for the "Helping Others" task had been received, Ji Han signaled everyone to go in and take a look.
After the shock just now, everyone had consumed a lot of energy. After walking around, they had to go back to rest and communicate.
Song Qian explored the way and took the lead to pass through the small courtyard gate and enter the inner courtyard. There was a long corridor on both sides.
Seeing that everyone was not keeping up in time, Song Qian wanted to come back to help Chen Ke, after all, he was scared just now.
But just when Song Qian turned around and prepared to swim towards Ji Han and the other two.
But she saw Ji Han and Qiezi shaking flashlights, waving their arms and pointing behind Song Qian.
As soon as Song Qian turned around, she saw another pale corpse floating in front of her face, with eyes wide open, staring at her blankly.
