Chapter 949: Corpse Haunting

Xunzi was startled.

He felt that Shen Shouxing was capricious and a bit weird.

But since Shen Shouxing agreed, he had no reason to refuse. Originally, he had to go into the mine for the ink painting.

Xun Ziyou restrained his sword energy, cupped his hands and said, "Okay, thank you very much, Elder Shen."

Shen Shouxing nodded dimly.

After that, he ordered someone to get the mine map, and then took the lead to the Shen family mine, accompanied by many Shen family monks.

Xun Ziyou's eyes narrowed slightly and he followed behind him.

Master Gu followed without hesitation.

On the contrary, it was Fan Jin whose steps were like lead and his expression was hesitant.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to get involved in this muddy water.

But the Shen family, the Taixu Sect, and the Gu family were all gone. If he, the Dian Si of Gushan City, didn't go along with them and fulfill his responsibilities, and if they were investigated afterwards, he would really be in trouble.

Let alone being a Diansi, I'm afraid there will be no place for him in the entire world of Ganxue.

Seeing the crowd walking further and further away, Fan Jin felt anxious. Finally he gritted his teeth and followed the crowd with heavy legs.

As Shen Shouxing and his party entered the mine, there were more and more monks in Gushan, and the situation became more and more complicated...

In the cemetery, Mo Hua was still holding the compass, looking for directions, and leading the way for Mr. Pi and the others, as well as four unidentified black-robed monks.

While walking, the ink painting suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Second Master Hui asked.

"I always feel that something is following us..." Mo Hua said nervously.

Mr. Pi and others looked around.

It was dark all around and there was nothing.

"You are mistaken," Mouse said.

Mo Hua frowned, but didn't say anything and continued walking forward.

And there seemed to be something rustling in the darkness behind them. At this time, everyone who was walking forward did not notice it...

…

After walking forward for a while, another gate appeared in front of the corridor.

Everyone had to stop in front of the gate.

"And there are gates?" Mr. Hui frowned and said, "Why are there so many gates in this tomb passage..."

No one could answer him.

Second Master Hui shook his head and looked at Mo Hua, "Little brother, it's up to you."

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded, and then followed the same pattern, took out the compass array pen, and began to deduce the array pattern, looking for a way to crack it.

Second Master Hui and the others were waiting patiently.

Mo Hua briefly looked at the formation patterns on the gate a few times and calculated in his mind several times, and then he knew how to break the formation on the gate.

But in order to behave like a "normal formation master", he still pretended to be a foreigner.

On the blank sheet of paper, ink was drawn one stroke at a time, with seriousness on the surface but perfunctory reasoning on the inside.

As he was drawing, Mo Hua suddenly felt startled and frowned.

"It seems...there is really something..."

There seemed to be a "rustling" sound in the darkness of the corridor when we came. Of course, it's not quite right to say it was a "sound", it was more like a kind of spiritual "synesthesia".

It seemed as if something gloomy was crawling toward him from the darkness.

But... what could it be?

Mo Hua frowned.

If there really is something in the darkness, how could Hui Erye, several tomb robbers, and the four mysterious black-robed monks not detect it?

After all, they are Jindan monks.

Although Mo Hua is on the road to enlightenment with spiritual consciousness and has powerful spiritual thoughts, he is only building a foundation after all, and his spiritual consciousness is only at the peak of the nineteen lines. He does not really think that his spiritual thoughts are stronger than the golden elixir.

What's more, there are still seven golden elixirs.

If there is really something fishy, ​​then it should be impossible for these seven people to not notice it...

Mo Hua calmed down and continued to pretend to relieve the formation.

But as I continued to draw, the gloomy feeling became closer, stronger, and clearer.

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood something.

But he didn't show any expression. Instead, he was calm for a moment, suddenly startled, and looked up.

His strangeness was also noticed by others.

Everyone looked up, but above their heads was a dark corridor with no light and no breath.

"Boy, what are you doing? You're so startled..."

The tomb robber who was called a mouse and had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks frowned, but before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed and he said in shock:

"...Second Master!"

Second Master Hui was a little confused, but after a moment his face suddenly turned pale.

He felt as if something was pressing tightly against his back.

Thick and disgusting, like a ball of rotten meat wrapped around bones.

Mr. Hui didn't dare to move his head. He glanced back from the corner of his eye and saw a rotten, dirty hand covered with mud on his shoulder.

At the same time, a fishy wind came from the back of his head.

It seemed like something opened its mouth and bit into his head.

In desperation, Mr. Hui lowered his head suddenly to avoid the bite on the back of his head.

As soon as he lowered his head, Mo Hua and others saw the thing behind Mr. Hui.

It was a rotting corpse.

Deformed, skinny, ugly, with dark and smelly blood stains, the facial features were squeezed and deformed, and the face could not be distinguished. Only the mouth had three cracks, which were as white as insect teeth in the ground.

When everyone saw this scene, their expressions changed.

And this flesh and blood monster, after just one bite, immediately split its face and opened its three-petal mouth, like a flesh worm, it gnawed at Er Ye Hui's head again.

It was attached to the back, and its movements were fast and concealed. Master Hui couldn't do anything about it for a while.

Just when the three-petal mouth of this flesh and blood monster was about to suck the back of Master Hui Er's head, the black-robed young man beside him flicked his long sleeves, took out a sharp long sword, and stabbed him directly with the bloody sword light. The monster's face.

The swift blade is extremely powerful.

The powerful sword energy penetrated the monster's head and took the monster with it, flying backwards and nailing it to the stone wall of the corridor.

But even though its head was penetrated, the monster was still jumping around and struggling. In just a moment, it struggled to get up and made a weird cry. Regardless of the black blood splattering and the bloody flesh, it directly removed its bloody and deformed head from the long The sword was drawn out.

Like meatballs pulled off a skewer.

Seeing that it was about to pounce again, the stocky tomb robber nicknamed "Stone" immediately rushed forward, used his spiritual power, covered his right arm with a layer of earth and stone armor, and punched the flesh and blood monster. Bombed into stumps.

The monster's stumps were scattered around and it was still squirming on the ground.

But they didn't reunite, and they didn't continue to kill them.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could relax, Mo Hua shouted again: "Head!"

Second Master Hui looked up and saw a pool of flesh and blood falling on his face.

This is another corpse monster that is slightly smaller in size but also has a three-petal mouth and a rotting body.

There are two of these monsters.

One is following behind, and the other is standing on the top of the corridor.

The first one was killed, and everyone only relaxed for a moment. Then the other one suddenly appeared and jumped on Master Hui's head.

This change was even more unexpected. Mr. Hui didn't even have time to react before he was jumped in the face by this monster.

The monster's teeth were opened, and three rows of fangs directly bit Mr. Hui's forehead.

But the expected scene of flesh and blood exploding did not happen. This monster had a three-petal mouth, and it bit hard, but it only opened a little.

Although its teeth are sharp enough, it seems that it is still only at the second level and cannot bite into the golden core realm body of Master Hui Er.

Bai Sensen's sharp teeth only left a few tooth marks on Er Ye Hui's forehead, along with a trail of blood.

But even so, the monster still sucked greedily and would not let go.

Second Master Hui was stunned, and then anger arose in his heart.

He stretched out his hands, pinched the monster, and tore it to pieces. Then, enduring the nausea, he tore off its three-flap mouth from its face.

Shitou took out a bottle of unknown spiritual liquid and handed it to Mr. Hui.

Second Master Hui poured the spiritual liquid down his pocket to wash away the rotten flesh and blood on his body.

After that, he didn't dare to be careless. He immediately took out a bottle of green medicinal powder, poured it on the wound, and took a few pills internally. Then he meditated and looked inside to confirm that there were no problems with his own flesh, blood, and spiritual power. There was no sign of corpse poisoning. Then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

The black-robed young man on the side stared hard at this and asked, "Are you okay?"

Second Master Hui nodded and said somewhat thankfully: "Fortunately, this thing is only Grade 2. If it had been Grade 3, my life would have been decided here."

Moreover, if you are bitten by this monster, you will probably die a miserable death, a true death without a burial.

"What exactly is this monster?" the black-robed young man asked with a frown.

Second Master Hui looked gloomy, "I'm afraid it's a kind of 'corpse ghost' in the tomb..."

"Zombie ghost..."

The black-robed young master pondered for a moment, then frowned and said: "This kind of corpse ghost seems to be completely different from the bronze corpse and iron corpse that the demonic way uses to refine corpses..."

Second Master Hui has been going to the tomb all the time, and he knows a lot about the strange things in the tomb. However, his profession is inherently gray, and he has dealt with many demon cultivators, so he nodded and said:

"Bronze corpses and iron corpses are 'zombies' refined by demonic cultivators. But corpse ghosts are different. Most corpse ghosts are naturally transformed into corpses in the dark underground, in an environment where evil, yin and death are intertwined. Yes, sinister and weird.”

"Zombies are carried around by corpse cultivators, but this kind of zombies are generally only found in cemeteries. If you don't go to the grave, you will basically never encounter them."

The black-robed young master nodded slightly, and then said strangely: "Everything in the world has aura. Monsters have demon aura, and demons have devilish aura. Since this corpse ghost is a 'corpse', it should naturally also have 'corpse aura'."

"What's more, this corpse is imprisoned underground. The corpse smell is strong, the flesh and blood are rotting to this point, and the smell is extremely pungent. Why didn't we notice it at all?"

"this……"

Second Master Hui frowned and couldn't explain clearly.

There are also many types of corpse ghosts.

Some corpse spirits also have a fishy stench, and the corpse gas is so overwhelming that they can be sensed from a long distance.

But in the tomb, for some reason, the Qi mechanism is so hidden.

At this moment, the old man in black robe in the crowd suddenly spoke.

This was the first time he spoke since he went to the tomb. His voice was extremely old and exuded a heavy air of death:

"Both life and death are created by heaven and earth. This kind of 'corpse ghost' is formed by a combination of innate resentment, earth's yin energy, and the evil spirit of the dead, mutated by chance."

"This is the creation of heaven and earth."

"Things created by heaven and earth, whether they are life or death, are all 'ingenious'. Therefore, compared with the bronze corpse and the iron corpse, there are always some elusive abilities. This is something that is refined by monks and is incomparable. of."

The black-robed young man thought for a moment, nodded, and saluted:

"Juniors have learned a lesson."

Even Mo Hua was surprised when he heard these words.

This faceless old man in black robes has indeed an extraordinary understanding of the avenues of heaven and earth.

I don’t know who he is...

Mo Hua muttered in his heart.

But having said that, these zombies are still a big trouble for everyone.

The stone on the side whispered to Second Master Hui: "Second Master, this is still on the outer edge of the tomb. There are such corpses haunting it. I'm afraid there are more inside, and there may even be third-grade ones..."

Shitou's expression was a little fearful.

Second Master Hui frowned, his eyes flashed after a moment, and he said in a deep voice:

"It's not a big tomb, and it contains no evil things. The more evil it is, the more noble the tomb is, and the more good things it contains."

Shitou nodded and said nothing more.

This is the case in the tomb robbing business. The higher the profit, the higher the risk.

Likewise, the greater the risk, the greater the returns.

They all understand the principle of finding wealth in danger.

Afterwards, everyone was ready to set off.

Mo Hua continued to break up the formation, thinking about opening the floodgates.

Second Master Hui was still sitting aside and adjusting his breath.

He is a veteran in this business and knows that the things in the tomb are full of weirdness. He will not take it lightly just because the corpse ghost just now is only a second-grade one.

Some Jindan colleagues died in the cemetery because they were infected with unknown second-grade corpse poison.

Second Master Hui has heard a lot of these cases.

Therefore, if you are injured in the cemetery, even if it is a minor injury, you must be cautious.

Second Master Hui meditated, adjusting his injuries.

And Mo Hua is also concentrating on resolving the formation.

Now that the corpse ghost has appeared, he doesn't want to delay for a long time, so he pretends to be dawdling for a while, then breaks the formation of the gate and opens the gate.

Behind the gate, the corridor is still dark.

"This broken tomb is such a big place..." Mouse frowned, "It's endless."

"Hurry up and stop complaining." Second Master Hui said.

He finally looked inside and checked his injuries. After confirming that there was nothing wrong and that he was not infected by "corpse poison", he stood up and said, "Let's go."

Everyone walked towards the depths of the corridor again.

Mo Hua was still holding the compass and walking at the front.

The crowd followed him.

But because of the "corpse haunting" incident, not only Second Master Hui and the others, but also the four people in black robes became vigilant.

This corpse is strangely haunted and has a rotten smell, but it is silent and seems to be invisible to spiritual consciousness, making it difficult for people to guard against it.

Therefore, everyone was very energetic.

Especially for Mr. Hui, the two zombies just now were all aimed at him. One grabbed his shoulder, the other jumped on his face, and bit him with those disgusting teeth. On the forehead.

Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.

Therefore, Mr. Hui is extra careful.

Especially these two zombies, they were probably following them for a long time, but none of them were aware of it...

When Mr. Hui thought of this, he suddenly thought of something and his heart skipped a beat.

"No...not everyone is unaware..."

Second Master Hui turned his head and glanced at Mo Hua, feeling awe-struck: "This kid seems to have noticed..."

"On the way here, he said there was something. It was obvious that he sensed something."

"Perhaps the perception is not clear enough, but this awareness of danger is extremely valuable, especially in the tomb robbing business..."

Second Master Hui glanced at Mo Hua again.

"This is a top-notch young man. I can't let him go no matter what. I must hold him tightly and let him work for me."

Second Master Hui's eyes were excited and he took a deep look at Mo Hua. Then he calmed down and pretended that nothing happened, and he was alert to his surroundings.

And while Mr. Hui was watching Mo Hua silently, Mo Hua was also quietly paying attention to him.

There was something that Mo Hua didn't say.

In the eyes of Mr. Hui, these two zombies were heading towards him.

But it's not.

These zombie ghosts are actually coming for the ink paintings.

Just like the nightmare he had in Gushan City, in which many deformed souls climbed out of the abyss, tearing and biting him.

The same goes for these two zombies.

It's just that the zombies are a bit "stupid". They know where the ink painting is, but they don't seem to know who among the crowd is the ink painting.

Mo Hua left part of his spiritual thoughts in Master Hui.

These two zombies mistook Second Master Hui for him and began to pick off his shoulders and jump on his face.

Of course, the ink painting also adds fuel to the flames appropriately, such as a few words to exaggerate the atmosphere and distract the attention.

Or when Mr. Hui cannot avoid it, you can remind him to raise his head and expose his face to the zombies.

And these corpse ghosts are actually not simple at all.

Almost all of their moves are aimed at the monk's head.

Once they bite the head, a wisp of vicious evil thoughts will follow the wound, break open the life gate of the sea of ​​consciousness, and seep into the monk's mind.

The real "corpse poison" of this corpse ghost is not in flesh and blood and spiritual power, but in the sea of ​​consciousness.

When Mr. Hui was bitten just now, a wisp of green-black poisonous thoughts had actually penetrated along his forehead and into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Second Master Hui didn't know, and the others couldn't see it, but Mo Hua could see it clearly.

Of course, he was afraid that Second Master Hui wouldn't be able to accept it after he found out, so he didn't tell him. Instead, he secretly observed Second Master Hui's condition from the side.

He had been curious before.

How will the evil thoughts of demons affect normal cultivators? Is there a gradual process? What are the specific manifestations?

Unfortunately, he has never had the opportunity to study it.

Now a real "case" is in front of him, and Mo Hua naturally has to observe it carefully.

But unfortunately, after observing it so far, it seems that there is nothing abnormal about Mr. Hui Er.

Mo Hua guessed that either the dose of this "corpse poison" evil thought is too small to exert its toxicity.

Or the third-grade Jindan cultivator has a high resistance to the mind, and the second-grade evil thoughts have little effect on the Jindan cultivator.

Or it is still in the "latent period" and no symptoms can be seen.

"Let's see if there are any other corpses. Lure them over and bite Gray Master a few more times."

"If it really works, then..." Mo Hua thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up:

"I will catch some evil spirits and try to develop a 'virus' like a corpse."

"If there are bad guys above the Golden Core who want to kill me in the future, and I can't beat them, then I will think of a way to secretly release these evil thoughts to them, pollute their sea of ​​consciousness, confuse their minds, and corrode their Tao hearts..."

Mo Hua's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Then he thought about it again and felt that according to his idea, it should be feasible.

However, everything must be done in person, and any idea must be verified through actual cases.

Mo Hua nodded.

After that, he led the way while quietly paying attention to Gray Master, wanting to verify his idea of ​​"poisoning" with evil thoughts through Gray Master's symptoms.

At this time, Master Hui Er still knew nothing. With the intention of imprisoning Mo Hua and using him for his own purposes, he walked step by step into the depths of the tomb.
