Chapter seven hundred and seventy sixth like a snake
In the snow-capped mountains at night, a golden Buddha light flashed by. When Chu Xunyu and Wangchen opened their eyes, they could see the unknown zombie on the ground was burned into a piece of rotten wood and fell to the ground. Everyone slowly fell down and leaned over. Mu Yuan asked curiously: "Where is this thing?" After that, he was about to touch it with his hands.
"Be careful that it is poisonous!" Chu Xunyu reminded and gently picked it with the tip of the sword.
The corpse was burned beyond recognition, covered in black scum. Suddenly, the three of them moved back, fearing that it would spray something again, Wangchen whispered: "Be careful, it seems that it is not dead yet."
There was a slight tremor, and the body was stretched out from inside. It seemed that a monster-like thing was about to break out of the shell. Before I could think of Chu Xunyu, I shouted: "Do it again!"
Mu Yuan raised his hand and enveloped him with a ball of Buddha light. This time, he let it explain it completely. Everyone could see clearly that it was a scorpion-like and spider-like thing that was causing trouble in the corpse. It was all pitch black and rotten. As soon as it broke out, it was burned into charcoal by Mu Yuan. Chu Xunyu squatted down and picked up his limbs with branches to see. This thing was at least the size of a wild cat. Mu Yuan asked again: "Did you see what it is?"
"I don't know." Chu Xunyu stood up and shook his head, "This thing is unheard of, unlike an ordinary thing, but one thing can be seen, it is driving the corpse to move, not an ordinary zombie."
"How did you catch it?" Wangchen asked strangely.
"Oh! Yes!" Chu Xunyu remembered the origin of this zombie and hurried to find the big stone that he had just leaned on. The zombie came out of the snow, so the three of them lifted the snow with all their fingers, and a dark hole appeared under the stone, which could smell the stench exactly like the zombie's body.
Mu Yuan looked at Chu Xunyu in disappointment. It seemed that he was going to go down. If there was such a zombie in the cave, the internal space was narrow and even if he sprayed poison, he could not hide it even if he wanted to. Chu Xunyu threw a stone into it and listened carefully. It seemed that it was not very deep, dark and faint. Mu Yuan reached in and burned it with the Buddha's light without saying a word, then took a deep breath, and jumped in first.
In a short while, I heard Mu Yuan shouting inside: "Come down, there is no danger."
Chu Xunyu and Wangchen jumped into the cave. The hole was not very deep. You could see the moonlight in the sky when you looked up and blew the fire chutes. Only then did you see clearly that the cave was very strange. There were tables, herbs, etc., and there was a strange magic circle on the wall. It had not been used for many years and was covered with a thick layer of gray.
Mu Yuan found a pile of rotten wood on the wall, which seemed to be the torches of the past. They were lit randomly and burned into a pile, making the cave much brighter. At this time, it was clear that the space was not big, just two meters square. There was a horizontal table with some debris on it, including rotten herbs and some scattered bamboo slips. An ancient magic circle was engraved on the wall, full of ancient Miao texts. Mu Yuan asked in surprise: "Is this where the guy outside lived?"
"No." Chu Xunyu was very sure, kicked her feet and signaled the two to look down. The ground was full of bones, and some were not dry and some were dry. These bones were humans and animals. They should be prey that were usually culled by the zombie. Chu Xunyu said, "What's wrong with this cave. I have never heard of any monk who would dig a hole in the ground and move in. There are no living equipment. These cases are placed very casually, obviously just for the sake of temporary needs."
After saying that, he took another step forward, wiped the dust on the wall, pointed to the ancient and decadent magic circle and said, "Although I don't understand Miaowen, this formation is somewhat similar to our family. I think the zombie outside should be the product of the clay technique, and it is more appropriate to call it "clay corpse".
"Camel?" Mu Yuan laughed, "What do you say? New things?"
"That's how I understand it." Chu Xunyu frowned, "The thing we saw outside just now that ran out of the corpse should be some poison. According to my speculation about this formation, it seems that it was planted into the corpse. It is used to drive the corpse to move in the mountains. On weekdays, it will kill certain living creatures to survive and reproduce. This place is like its nest, and all this should be derived from the corpse. The Han people will not use it. This corpse controlled by the corpse is so called ' corpse', which sounds more vivid. This cave should have been used by the corpse. It was a place to perform this technique back then, and it can be raised in the future. Finally, I understood why the sunlight did not dissipate the zombie's yin energy, because this was not the corpse transformation caused by the yin energy drama."
"Then why didn't this thing run out?" Mu Yuan asked again, "How many years have you been? Haven't you grown up yet? The outside world has never been said."
"We should think the opposite." Wangchen also touched the magic circle on the wall with his hand, "I think it was when someone used these 'corpses' to trap here when he was performing magic tricks here to protect the northern hillside, so he has never left here for many years and has to stay to protect the things in the mountain belly."
"It makes sense." Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan nodded in agreement. Chu Xunyu said, "Senior is worthy of being an old world, and it hits the mark. If it is true as the senior thought, then there should not be only one here, but there should be better. We must find them all."
"What are you doing for this thing?" Mu Yuan was shocked. "Just just know their function, how many more do you need to find?"
"My friend Chu's words are reasonable." Wangchen soon learned about Chu Xunyu's thoughts and told Mu Yuan, "Since they are bound here, they cannot go far. If they guard this place, they can judge where their center is, and there is the gate."
"So that's it." Mu Yuan suddenly realized.
Chu Xunyu said again: "We cannot disperse this time. We must rely on you, Bajie. Only you can restrain this material, and it is difficult to get close to you."
"Haha." Mu Yuan's nose was almost overturned when he heard this. "Yan Gong, you have finally realized it today. You have to rely on me for the big things."
Chu Xunyu was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he rolled his eyes and took the lead in the cave with Wangchen. The three of them were inseparable this time, shuttled through the woods, carefully searching for the whereabouts of other corpses. If it was really as Wangchen said, there should be more than one of them, but be wary of it. It can spray poison, which is incredible.
The three of them worked until dawn and met two more. Naturally, they burned Mu Yuan to coke. Although this kind of thing is very dangerous, it is stupid and brainless. Facing Mu Yuan's Buddha light falling from the sky, he could only surrender. However, Chu Xunyu and the other two were concerned about the entrance. Each corpse had their nests not far away. The decorations and magic circles inside were exactly the same. It seemed that someone did it on purpose. Then, with these nests as the edges, the three of them found a place that was probably the center, which was a piece of deserted wood and snow covered, as if there was no such thing as a gate.
"Let's look carefully." Wangchen looked at the sun that seemed to be coming out. "Now that the sunrise is approaching, there should be no corpse coming to harass us."
"No need to look for it, I know where it is." Chu Xunyu frowned.
"oh?"
"It's it." Chu Xunyu pointed at a pile of huge rocks with his hand.
"This pile of stones?" Mu Yuan asked in surprise.
"No." Chu Xunyu shook his head, "It's this big pine tree next to the stone."
"Ah?" The pine tree that Chu Xunyu refers to was about the thickness of two people. It was very ordinary. It was as bare as most snow-capped trees. The branches were covered with snow. It was hard to imagine that it had problems. However, Chu Xunyu ignored it and walked over and patted the trunk, causing a trembling snow to fall.
"What are you doing?" Mu Yuan asked inexplicably.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Chu Xunyu kept moving in his hand and asked without raising his head.
"I think you're crazy. Did you spit out the poison of that corpse just now?" Mu Yuan sneered with hilariousness, "You expect a few knocks on the trunk of a pine tree and a door will pop out of thin air? If you really give birth to you, how can you feel with the Gongshu and the Mo family's masters?"
"This is a big tree." Chu Xunyu pointed at it angrily.
"Well...thank you, we all saw it." Mu Yuan looked at Chu Xunyu and the tree, "What?"
"I mean it is a 'big' tree, a very 'big' tree! Do you understand?" Chu Xunyu pointed to the surroundings and said, "You don't have any problems? The snow-capped mountains have been in a bitter and cold manner since ancient times, and it is difficult for trees to survive. Even a tree as tough as a pine tree is difficult to grow densely. Looking back, no trees in the radius of several miles here are all the same as bowls? Isn't it strange that a pine tree that can grow into such a thick suddenly appeared here? You should know that zombies produced in this ghost place can spray poison. If it were to find the entrance in a big tree, I think it would be the most common thing today."
"So that's it." After Chu Xunyu explained, he realized it. Wangchen praised: "It turns out that he has a deep understanding of plants, trees, fish and insects. Let's not stand there, look for it together." After that, he followed Chu Xunyu around the big tree and checked it up and down.
Mu Yuan flew to the top of the tree and circled around and said helplessly: "I can't find any entrance. If it really doesn't work, let's uproot this tree and take a look."
"It makes sense." Chu Xunyu shouted in surprise, "You said so well, stand back." After saying that, rolled up your sleeves and hugged the tree trunk, preparing to use the brute force of the martial artist to "pull the willow" directly to see what was strange about this monster.
But as soon as he had a force, he suddenly "splashed", the three of them were startled and thought that some monster had emerged. After standing back, they found that an adult snow was collapsed under the roots of the tree, revealing a black hole. The three of them looked at each other, and Mu Yuan sighed helplessly: "Here we are here again, we have to drill holes again? Why can't such a mysterious place be built more spacious, and we have to dig a hole."
"This hole is so small." Chu Xunyu stretched his head into it and looked at it. It was only one person's thickness at the entrance of the hole. If people crawled in, they had to lie flat, and they couldn't turn around. So he threw a stone in and said nothing, which meant it was very deep.
"I'll do it." Mu Yuan pushed Chu Xunyu away and tidied his clothes, "I am the first one, you are following me, who can let my Buddha light control them?"
"Be careful." Chu Xunyu handed over some medicines, "I don't know if it works. You put it in your mouth first. If there is any poison, it's a preparation."
"Yeah." Mu Yuan took it in one sip, then took a deep breath, bent down and got in, Chu Xunyu was in the middle, and Wangchen broke the back.
Mu Yuan was at the front and blew the fire to break. The hole was too narrow. The three of them could only crawl and climb down there little by little. But soon Chu Xunyu realized something was wrong. The cave has been a long time ago, but no snakes, insects, rats and ants were seen. Instead, it was rare to dryness. It should have been because of the use of medicine to sprinkle it in the surrounding soil to deworm it. The hole was not only small, but also long, winding down. The three of them crawled for at least an hour before Mu Yuan cursed and heard it. Chu Xunyu asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"My clothes are torn." Mu Yuan shouted in front, "After climbing for so long, you will pay me a new dress when you go back."
"Hi--" Chu Xun's nose was crooked in his tone, and he shouted from behind, "I thought you had something to see."
"It's a manifestation." Mu Yuan curled his lips and said in a hilarious way, "We're at the end, there's a door here, and finally it's a door."
"What?" Chu Xunyu asked in surprise, "Then go out soon."
"What's out?" Mu Yuan replied angrily, "This door...this door...is small just like this damn cave. How can you get out?"
"Ah?" Chu Xunyu was puzzled, but Mu Yuan could not see him even when he blocked him. He said anxiously, "Describe what he looks like?"
"Well..." Mu Yuan stared at the sky for a long time and said, "It seems that the door prepared for this cave is just a door. The double-opening fan seems to be made of brass. Even the door knocker is rusted. It is engraved with patterns that look very similar to ancient Miao. We don't know each other anyway, but I guess the person who can enter this door must be as small as his arms. How can I get in? But it seems that this door has been seen somewhere..."
"oh?"
"I remembered it!" Mu Yuan shouted in surprise, "This is the door depicted on the stone slab that Ga Tong's uncle gave us."
"What?" Chu Xunyu and Wangchen behind were surprised when they heard this. Chu Xunyu reluctantly pushed the Canqing Long Sword forward from his shoulder, "When I use my sword to see if I can spread it."
Mu Yuan spitted out a mouthful of earthy foam, pushed forward with Chu Xunyu's sword. The small door did not move at all, and immediately joked: "It's useless. Next, should we lick it open with our tongue like the old woman depicted in the picture?"
"Nonsense." Chu Xunyu replied angrily, "The words on the stone slab should tell us how to open it, but it's a pity that none of us know each other."
