My heart was beating fast, my eyes were focused, and I tried my best to look into the dark wind, but I could only vaguely see a figure.
This conversation.
Chunya tells the story of Chiyou, the master of the Central Plains, who was defeated at Zhuolu. An old wizard drew a Chenzhou talisman and returned home from the Yellow River Basin with the corpses of soldiers who died in foreign lands.
It is talking about the earliest origin of corpse hunting.
The old voice responded: The mountains in western Hunan have rugged terrain, and the exorcists had a compassionate heart and sent the deceased back to their hometowns regardless of the bad weather.
It talks about the compassionate character of the corpse driver, who ignores the dangers of the mountains and is not afraid of bad weather.
"How many zombies do you have?"
The old man asked.
Chunya responded directly: "When we enter the mountain this time, there are no walking corpses, only one zombie accompanying us. How many do you have?"
"Six."
The old man responded.
An old man walked out of the dark wind.
Wearing a green cloth gown, a green cloth hat on his head, a black belt around his waist, and a green bag.
It's exactly what a corpse-killer is dressed like.
The light of the torch kept swaying.
Reflected on his face.
The corpse driver was lying around day and night, and his skin was pale. Under the light of the fire, he looked like he had just been fished out of the water. Coupled with the wrinkles, he looked quite frightening.
The old man was lifeless and his eyes were lifeless. He looked at Chun Ya first and was slightly surprised: "There has never been a female corpse exorcist in the corpse exorcism industry. Who is your master?"
Then, his eyes fell on me and Baitiehu, and then looked at the water corpse. His eyes suddenly opened wide, but they quickly returned to normal.
Chun Ya said: "My name is Chun Ya, and my master is Bai Tuo, but he is already dead. May I ask what lineage the senior is from?"
The old man said: "Luozhou, my hometown village, worships the God of Joy, Bodhisattva. There are many five poisonous insects in front of us, so get back quickly. Otherwise, your life will be in danger."
"Senior Luo, we are following the blood spider and we must move forward."
Chunya said.
I bowed my hands and said, "Camellia Cave is born in winter, and blood spiders harm people's lives. After tracking this place, I must go up the mountain to find out. There is no reason to give up halfway."
Luo Zhou's face darkened and he said: "The blood spider is so dangerous, you can't deal with it. You just want to give it some fresh blood."
I said: "The golden silkworm poison in Camellia Cave is the best in western Hunan. How can it be a nameless poison?"
Luo Zhou said: "Good words can't persuade a damned person. Since you must go, then do whatever you want."
Luo Zhou stepped back and got out of the way, looking at us as if we were looking at three dead people.
I was quite shocked, I didn't expect him to give way so simply.
Luo Zhou glanced at Chun Ya and said, "If you haven't learned the real skills from Bai Tuo, you can stay with me."
Chunya said: "The art of driving corpses is almost extinct, so there is no use in learning the unique skills of driving corpses. In a few years, the highway built from Fenghuang County will connect every village."
Luo Zhou said: "Then I won't force you. Did Bai Tuo leave you the book "Seven Divine Powers to Exorcise Corpses"?"
Chunya cupped her fists and bowed, and said politely: "That book is in the hands of my senior brother Bai Jianfei."
Chunya didn't tell the truth.
When passing that wooden house.
I could sense a very heavy evil spirit and the earthy smell of a tomb.
Chunya looked solemn and extremely nervous.
Six walking corpses, plus an experienced corpse exterminator, are indeed not easy to deal with.
Bai Tiehu and I didn't speak.
Walked out for ten minutes.
"This corpse exorcist lives in a forbidden area, isn't he afraid?"
Bai Tiehu couldn't help but speak.
"When a corpse exorcist is expelling corpses at night, what kind of forbidden area will he be afraid of? There are six walking corpses guarding him, who dares to deal with him. In addition, his hometown village is nearby, so he is naturally confident."
I responded with a smile.
Chun Ya breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's simply too scary. This Luo Zhou is even scarier than Bai Tuo back then. He wanted to do it, but he was afraid of the reputation of the water corpse and the golden silkworm Gu."
I thought for a while and said: "There is another possibility. There is something more terrifying on this mountain. He wants to use those terrifying things to deal with us. Or let us deal with the terrifying things for him."
I rolled my eyes and asked, "When you passed the wooden house, did you smell the earthy smell in the tomb?"
To dig up grave grass and catch mole crickets, you need to dig up some grave soil.
Therefore, I am particularly sensitive to this smell.
Chunya and Baitiehu both shook their heads.
At four o'clock in the morning, everyone was exhausted.
I found an open space and said, "Have a rest and wait until dawn before making any plans. The five poisonous insects are infested, so don't sleep too hard."
At nine o'clock in the morning, I woke up.
Chunya looked nervously at the bottom of the mountain and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Luo Zhou didn't catch up with him. What is his purpose in the mountain?"
I thought about it and said, "Maybe he was raising corpses in the mountains, or maybe he was raising bugs for his hometown. I felt a terrifying sense of oppression on him."
Chun Ya was still a little scared and said: "When I saw that there were still corpse exterminators in the world, I was very panicked."
As a corpse exterminator, she naturally knows the horrors of a corpse exorcist.
After we had eaten dry food.
The Great Snake Immortal shouted: "Master, the breath of the blood spider is in the southeast. Should we go now, or should we wait until dark?"
I said, "I'll go immediately if I can't wait until dark."
After walking for half an hour, a peach forest appeared in front of us. It was lush and green, and some peach trees had already produced fruit. However, no one had taken care of it all year round, and the branches grew randomly. The peach forest was considered deserted, and the fruits were very small.
I glanced around and didn't see the extremely thick peach tree.
Suddenly, a strong smell of blood wafted from the front.
Follow the peach forest and walk five hundred meters.
A natural cave appeared in front of us, the entrance of which was filled with animal bones.
"Wear all gloves, change into long clothes and long trousers, cover your mouth and nose with a white cloth, and don't touch anything easily."
I said quickly.
After entering the cave, I saw human bones lying on the ground.
The blood spider was lying on the west side of the cave, looking at us with its eight eyes.
"Bitch, how many people have you killed?"
I took a step forward, stared at the blood spider, and roared angrily.
It was oozing blood all over its body and looked particularly ferocious.
Beside it, there are many large jars piled up.
The stone ground next to the jar has been soaked in blood and turned red. It can be imagined that this place was once a sea of blood.
There are still some human bones on the ground.
Some human bones look as if they have just decayed, and you can even see skin and hair.
There are also a large number of linen strips scattered around.
Chun Ya stared at it for a moment, then suddenly became startled and said, "This linen strip is used to make a walking corpse. It is most likely a walking corpse made by Luo Zhou."
I was extremely shocked.
"I see!"
Before I could answer, Chun Ya shouted again, and the sound echoed in the cave.
"It scares people to death. What do you understand when you are so surprised?"
Sweat broke out on Bai Tiethu's forehead.
"Luo Zhou had just stolen six corpses from digging graves outside and made them into new walking corpses. When he came here, he drove the corpses past Xishen Inn. Therefore, Dong Sheng could smell the earthy smell of the graves."
"And the reason why he wants to be a new zombie is because all the old zombies died here, leaving only linen strips and bones."
Chun Ya explained.
My head is buzzing, Chun Ya’s analysis makes sense.
Luo Zhou was guarding the foot of the mountain because he took a fancy to this cave. He didn't dare to approach it, so he used the walking corpses he raised to get in and get what he wanted.
"what is that?"
Bai Tiehu pointed out his hand.
I looked over quickly.
Not far away, an alchemy furnace more than one meter high fell to the ground, already covered in rust.
