The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 209
The valley road was blocked by mountain walls on both sides, so the wind could not blow in. It was a good place to camp. Everyone gathered firewood, lit a bonfire, and gathered together to keep warm.Zhou Xuanye rubbed his hands and warmed himself by the fire, his complexion became a little better.

I found out the medicine for the wound and helped him re-bandage the wound, and that was the end of the matter.

After this exhausting afternoon, everyone was a little hungry, so they took out food and decided to fill their stomachs first.I am very curious about the so-called formation eye, how can a few stones exert such magical power?
The eyes are different from the previous seven tiger-shaped pairs. The material is made of jade, the surface is white and smooth, and the shape is regular. Under the firelight, it seems that there is still a layer of water flowing.

Tan Ren praised it and said, "Baiyu, the water head is not bad."

I didn't have much research on the material, so I went to look closely at the surface of the thing. There are many mountains, rivers, fish and birds embossed on the surface, there are lightning and thunder in the sky, and beasts roaring on the ground. A soul-stirring fight made people feel a little excited after seeing it.

At the top position, there are four small seal characters. I recognized the mountain character at the beginning, but I didn’t know the remaining three characters, so I asked Zhou Xuanye for advice, and he read: "Shanhe Hengchang."

I said, "What do you mean?"

Tang Linlin said: "Stupid, stupid, is it used to sacrifice mountains and rivers? Eh, no, isn't it a jade cong used to sacrifice mountains and rivers?" I know that jade cong is a ritual vessel used to sacrifice mountains, rivers and land in ancient times. The side, the inner hollow is round, which symbolizes the round sky and the earth, meaning in all directions.

Zhou Xuanye shook his head and said: "This is not for sacrifices, it is a specially made formation eye, look at the strange beasts carved on it, if we have been trapped in it for a long time, under the influence of the formation, we will have hallucinations , The things on this mountain and river jade tablet will appear in front of our eyes, and it will be difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and it will be very difficult."

I was taken aback, I didn't expect this thing to be so powerful.

While talking, Tang Linlin ran out of the valley to inquire around, and said: "It's not good, the wind outside is getting stronger and stronger, I feel like it's going to rain and thunder, you say, this place is called Thunder Valley, there won't really be thunder Come hack us?"

Tan Ren said: "Although the art of attracting and reducing thunder is recorded in ancient books, people today have no way of seeing it. I don't believe that the people in Yumen really have such ability. The lightning strike should be just a coincidence." While talking, suddenly Suddenly, there was a creaking sound from behind me. Before I could respond, I suddenly felt a pain in my lower back. It was obvious that I was bitten by something.

My first reaction was a snake, but the sound of a snake should not be like this.

The sudden pain made me scream, and I quickly stood up covering the wound.As soon as I covered it, I felt blood seeping through my clothes, damn it!I was bitten out of nowhere, not to mention how aggrieved, I was planning to step on it to death first, regardless of whether it was a snake or something, but when I turned around, I saw a fat, black, oily thing.

That thing's eyeballs were very bright, revealing an evil spirit, and it happened to meet my gaze.

It is a mouse, very very big, a mouse that is bigger than a cat, seems to eat very well, and its fur looks shiny.

I didn’t expect that it was a mouse that bit me. According to folk customs, being bitten by a snake or a dog is nothing. The most unlucky thing is to be bitten by a mouse. Firstly, the rats carry a lot of germs, and secondly, it is unlucky , was bitten by a mouse, which means bad luck this year and will be very unlucky.

Rats steal food and are not aggressive animals, so they run away when they see people, and they don’t bite people at all. If they are bitten, is it bad luck or what?
This thought flashed through my mind, but I couldn't step on the raised foot, and the mouse, despite its fat body, was quite fast and flexible, and quickly bypassed everyone and hid in the valley road In the nearby bushes, I could only hear the trembling of the branches and leaves of the bushes, and after a while, they ran away without a trace.

The whole process took only three to five seconds, and everyone had no time to react. They all looked at each other in blank dismay, leaving me clutching my waist and yelling how unlucky I was.

After all, it was Zhou Xuanye who was more reliable, and quickly asked Tang Linlin to treat the wound. The wound was quite deep, but the area was not too large. I was used to being injured during this period, and the pain was so painful that I could bear it.After Tang Linlin sympathized and mourned for me, she was also a little scared, worried that she would come out with other mice, so she said, "Why don't we change places, this valley road is too narrow, it feels weird."

This statement immediately won my support, for no other reason, because I feel this way myself.

The rock wall extending upwards, the darkness, the stars blocked by the trees on the rock wall, and the narrowness of the valley road all give people a very depressing feeling.

Zhou Xuanye warmed up after roasting for a while. Seeing that Tang Linlin and I both said that, he said, "Alright, let's see where this valley road leads to."

At that moment, we packed up our equipment and started walking along the valley road. Soon, a wind came in. It turned out that the wind had changed a little. At the same time, there was a rumbling thunder in the sky, and there were not enough trees on the cliff. In order to block our sight, in the dark sky, accompanied by the sound of thunder, bolts of lightning flashed from time to time.They were gathered in the clouds, and they would come down at some point. Combined with what the old man said before, it would inevitably make people nervous.

The further you go, the wider the valley road becomes, the surrounding shrubs become less, and the weeds increase. At the same time, the surrounding mice also increase. Most of them are small mice, and they run away when they see people.This makes me a little suspicious, whether everyone has entered the rat's nest.

As the saying goes, people are unlucky enough to drink cold water and get stuffed between their teeth. Just as I thought about it, a few huge mice emerged from the grass in front of me, even bigger than the one that bit me before!Moreover, they are obviously not afraid of people, and they stared at us eagerly, as if they saw something delicious.

Zhou Xuanye frowned, pulled out the Sigui sword with a clang, and wiped out the head of the big mouse that rushed towards us first. This superb swordsmanship immediately won the unanimous praise of Tang Linlin and I.

However, before our words fell to the ground, the big rats in the grass, as if they would split, turned out to be more and more!After careful examination, it turned out that there was a big hole behind the grass, near the mountain wall, and these big rats got out of this big hole.

It really made me guess right, this is a rat den.

This time the mice were not as polite as before, and they all rushed forward. No matter how skilled Zhou Xuanye was, he still couldn't resist, so Tan Ren simply used his hands, and he grabbed all the mice that rushed forward, mercilessly. He fell ruthlessly onto the mountain wall next to him. Although he didn't kill himself like Zhou Xuanye did, he fell so hard that he couldn't get up.

At this moment, Tang Linlin's hidden skills were exposed, and I realized that her leg skills are very good, and she hardly uses her hands, but she kicked away all the mice that rushed up.These mice also know that persimmons are soft, and after being abused for a while, most of them rushed towards me.

Fuck, bully me for not practicing martial arts!

But anyway, I am also a big old man. Although my skills are not as good as those of Tan Ren, it is much better than those otaku white-collar workers who do not exercise every day in the city. Zhou Xuanye was there to help, but these mice didn't really do anything to me.

But seeing the number increasing and it becoming more and more difficult to parry, Tang Linlin lost control and said, "My legs are so weak from kicking, there are too many rats here, let's retreat first!"

Tan Ren said in a deep voice: "You retreat, I will cover."

Zhou Xuanye's left arm was injured, and his right hand was still flexible, but he had consumed too much physical strength before, and now he couldn't hold it anymore.Hearing this, he didn't shirk, and immediately gestured to me and Tang Linlin, signaling everyone to retreat.

The three of us left Tan Ren behind and ran forward quickly. I glanced back in a hurry, and saw that Tan Ren was guarding that area tightly, not a single mouse crossed the boundary, and his hands were fast. amazing.

I couldn't see any more, because it was night, and all the lighting was by flashlight. If I ran far away, I couldn't care about Tan Ren.

At this time, we had already rushed out of this narrow valley road, and the front opened up. At a glance, there were many arched earth bags as far as the eye could see. It took me a long time to realize it.This turned out to be a cemetery.

Could it be the cemetery of the people in Yumen?

Zhou Xuanye gasped when he saw this at the first glance, and said, "I actually chose this cemetery!" At this moment, the sky was thundering, and with the sound of a thunderclap, icy rainwater poured down from the sky immediately, and Dou Da The raindrops rushed by one after another, and in an instant, there was only the sound of rain in the world.

"Find a place to shelter from the rain first!" I looked around, and soon found a depression in the mountain, the three of them hid in to shelter from the rain, and Tan Ren also rushed over at this time, and he was nowhere to be seen There are rats, which seem to have gotten rid of them.

As soon as the four of them hid in, suddenly, the night sky was torn apart by a bolt of lightning, and the whole world was as bright as day at that moment, and some things that we had ignored before suddenly caught our eyes!
