Chapter 271 Weird Wooden Statue

There are ninety-nine eighty-one stone steps on all four sides of the platform, which are connected to the ground of the stone hall.

When Zhong Liang stepped onto the first stone step, the four bronze corpses on the platform turned around, and four pairs of gray-black eyes stared at Zhong Liang, and a suffocating sense of oppression arose spontaneously.

A trace of panic flashed across Zhong Liang's eyes, and he continued to step up after calming down.

As he got closer to the platform, the evil spirit on the bronze corpse became more and more intense, as if as long as Zhong Liang dared to step onto the platform, he would tear him alive and eat him.

Tang Fu, Miao Fa and others in the distance also looked at the bronze corpse's actions with a serious expression, fearing that the bronze corpse would suddenly rise up; at the same time, they were extremely curious in their hearts, what method Zhong Liang had to lead the bronze corpse out of the platform.

After Zhong Liang stepped onto the last step, he did not rush to take the next step, but stood still on the last stone step.

At this time, there was no trace of tension on his face, but a calm expression, and even a strange smile on his face.

"As recorded in the jade slip, these bronze corpses will not attack as long as they don't step onto the platform."

"If that's the case, then the method of luring corpses recorded in the jade slip should also be effective."

Zhong Liang thought to himself.

Zhong Liang pinched out a few spells and hit the four bronze corpses.

Then, Zhong Liang threw out four pieces of bloody meat the size of a basin, and the pieces of meat fell not far from the four corners of the platform.

Immediately, the eyes of the bronze corpses began to turn red, and they let out a low roar.

They all exerted their strength with their legs, jumped high, and pounced on the four pieces of flesh under the platform.

Like hungry beasts, they grabbed the flesh and put it into their mouths.

The flesh the size of a basin was swallowed into their stomachs in a few bites.

However, this piece of flesh obviously could not satisfy them, but instead aroused their thirst for flesh that had been hidden in their bodies for many years.

They raised their bloody eyes, opened their mouths to reveal sharp fangs covered with blood and flesh, and looked at Tang Fu and others.

Seeing this, Tang Fu, Miao Fa and others changed their faces.

"Why didn't the bronze corpse attack Zhong Liang?" Miao Fa looked panicked and questioned Tang Fu beside him.

"Damn it! The jade slip that Zhong Liang showed me must have incomplete content. He deliberately concealed the key information."

Tang Fu looked at Zhong Liang on the high platform, who was walking towards the bronze corpse coffin step by step, and said angrily.

At this time, he didn't understand that Zhong Liang had been using him from the beginning.

Before he finished speaking.

Everyone turned around and fled outside the stone hall.

"Bang!"

At this moment, the door of the stone hall was strangely closed by itself.

Everyone was trapped in the stone hall.

Miao Fa, who was rushing to the front, had a Zen stick in his hand. He raised the Zen stick and smashed it heavily against the stone door.

"Bang!"

Miao Fa took two steps back.

The stone door trembled a few times and recovered as before.

Miaofa's face became extremely ugly.

Failure to break the stone door meant that they were trapped in a jar, and the four bronze corpses were ready to eat.

He turned around and looked at the four bronze corpses that were coming to kill him, and shouted.

"Don't run away, we can only fight to the death. If we don't kill these bronze corpses, we can't think of getting out alive."

The golden bowl appeared in front of him, with golden light shining on it, shooting at one of the bronze corpses.

The bronze corpse illuminated by the golden light seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, its speed suddenly decreased, and its movements became slow.

The corpse aura on the bronze corpse seemed to have encountered a nemesis and began to slowly melt.

Seeing this, the other cultivators also knew that they could not escape, and they all used their means to attack the bronze corpses and prevent them from approaching.

Tang Fu urged the Yanji Whip to wrap around a bronze corpse.

Seeing that the long whip was about to wrap around the bronze corpse, the bronze corpse raised his hand and slapped the long whip.

Unexpectedly, the long whip flexibly deflected downwards, cleverly avoiding the palm of the bronze corpse.

Then, the long whip, like a nimble long snake, quickly wrapped around the bronze corpse's left leg, and quickly extended upwards, instantly tightly wrapping around the bronze corpse's body.

After a successful move, Tang Fu's eyes suddenly became sharp, and a hot flame ignited on the long whip.

The flame spread along the long whip to the bronze corpse.

The bronze corpse emitted a cold corpse gas, which merged with the flames, and a violent energy swept around.

The flames and corpse gas were in a stalemate, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

"Tang Si, help me kill this corpse first!" Tang Fu shouted loudly.

In addition to Miao Fa, the other three monks barely blocked a bronze corpse together.

The three cultivators of the Tang family and three casual cultivators, six people, barely blocked a bronze corpse together.

Hearing Tang Fu's words, Tang Si turned the flying sword and slashed at the bronze corpse trapped by the Yan Ji whip.

"Dangdangdang..."

The flying sword slashed at the bronze corpse, just like slashing at gold and iron, and a series of sparks came out, but the bronze corpse's body was almost unscathed.

Miaofa, who was standing by, saw this and shouted loudly.

"The bodies of these bronze corpses are extremely strong, and ordinary spiritual weapons can hardly cause damage to them."

"What should we do then?" Tang Fu said.

"You should block the three bronze corpses for a while, and don't let them get close. Wait for me to kill the bronze corpse I trapped with the Buddhist Dharma, and then I will come to help you."

Tang Fu nodded, "Okay!"

Miaofa controlled the golden bowl while distracting himself to summon the Zen stick.

The Zen stick shone with golden light, and smashed at the bronze corpse trapped by the golden bowl.

The Zen stick hit the top of the bronze corpse's head, and the bronze corpse's indestructible skull was actually dented.

Seeing that the Zen stick could hurt the bronze corpse, Miaofa's face was happy, and he continued to urge the Zen stick, smashing it down continuously.

After more than a hundred heavy blows, the head of the bronze corpse was smashed to pieces, but it did not fall down, but the corpse qi on its body was much weaker.

Miaofa urged the Zen stick to hit the bronze corpse dozens of times, smashing the bronze corpse's body into pieces, and the bronze corpse's corpse qi dissipated and stopped moving.

Seeing this, everyone's face was delighted.

"Master's Buddhist teachings are indeed profound. He can kill the bronze corpse by himself. Master, come and help us to kill all three bronze corpses. We will go to Zhong Liang to settle accounts." Tang Fu said loudly.

Miaofa heard it, but did not move.

Just now, he killed the bronze corpse, which seemed easy, but in fact it consumed a lot of his spiritual power.

The spiritual power in his body is less than 50%, and at most he can kill one more bronze corpse, which will exhaust his spiritual power.

Miaofa naturally cannot use up his spiritual power to save Tang Fu and others, and let himself fall into a dangerous situation with no spiritual power available.

Miaofa looked at the high platform.

On the high platform, Zhong Liang had already opened the huge bronze coffin.

There was no corpse or skeleton in the coffin, but a green wooden human-shaped sculpture.

The statue was a young woman, naked.

The wooden statue was very lively and lifelike, as if it was a woman who was really asleep.

The wooden statue was covered with extremely complex and mysterious patterns, which added a strange and mysterious atmosphere to the wooden statue.

The moment Zhong Liang saw the wooden statue, his eyes widened and flashed with incredible light.

"Soul-nourishing wood! There is such a huge soul-nourishing wood in the world, and it is carved into a human shape. It is simply a waste of natural resources."

The soul-nourishing wood is an extremely rare third-level ghost treasure, which is what all ghosts dream of. Only a palm-sized piece can keep the soul of a dead person alive for a thousand years.

Once a cultivator has formed a pill, his soul is stable and not easily disintegrated.

Some monks were unwilling to return to the underworld after death, so they would look for soul-nourishing trees, where their souls would reside, and they would practice the way of ghosts with their souls, becoming ghost-like beings.

However, this soul-nourishing wood statue gave people a feeling of decay.

It was as if the time was too long and the spirituality in the soul-nourishing wood was about to be exhausted.

Zhong Liang suppressed his greed for the soul-nourishing wood.

This statue was too strange, so he dared not touch it easily.

But in the bronze coffin, there was nothing else except the wooden statue.

This made Zhong Liang very disappointed and unwilling.

After spending many years and going through untold hardships to arrive here, was he going to return empty-handed?
