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

Chapter 210 Star Sand
In the night sky illuminated by lightning, I saw an extremely strange thing floating above the tomb, about three to forty meters above the ground.It is like some kind of sand-like substance, breaking gravity and hanging upside down in the sky, like smoke, covering the entire cemetery.In the wind and rain, the large sand-like material was blown to and fro, with a little light blue light mixed in it, which looked very beautiful.

You know, just now, we didn't find it at all.That is, after the thunder and lightning started, these things appeared.

Tang Linlin was surprised: "What is floating in the sky?"

Tan Ren frowned, and after a while, he said, "Could it be Xingsha?"

Zhou Xuanye obviously also knew what Xingsha was, and he suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment, and said: "So that's the case, no wonder this place is called Thunder Valley!"

The conversation between the two made Tang Linlin and I feel confused. Could it be that the so-called star sand floating in the sky was the cause of the thunder and lightning?

As if seeing the doubts of the two of us, Zhou Xuanye explained to us the origin of the star sand.

Take gunpowder as an example. The invention of gunpowder was due to an accident that happened to ancient alchemists in alchemy. One nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoals are the most primitive gunpowder structure. Of course, modern gunpowder has much finer ingredients.During this process, the alchemists of alchemy not only invented gunpowder, but also discovered many other things, but those things were not as widely spread as gunpowder.Even some accidental products possess incredible power, which makes them artificially covered up.

Star sand is one of them.

Alchemists in ancient times had all kinds of spells. According to legend, highly trained sorcerers could fly into the sky and escape from the ground, attracting wind and thunder.If you dare to offend him?Hey, take a thunderbolt to kill you.

Does the Art of Attracting Wind and Lightning Really Exist?
It's a mystery.

The ancients were not fools. If something really did not exist, why has it been passed down from generation to generation to today?

In fact, strictly speaking, this lightning-drawing technique does exist, but it is not as bizarre as it is said in the legend, and it is not recruited by a warlock who knows magic. In fact, it uses star sand, also known as ' Thunder Sands'.

Thunder sand is refined by alchemists, and its formula is a top secret handed down from master to student. Even if there are many disciples in a school, it will only be passed on to one person in the end.The reason for this is probably because the effect of Lei Mingsha is too amazing, and it is not a good thing that more people know about it.Furthermore, in order to stabilize one's status as a master of spells, one must have a unique skill, can't everyone be able to draw lightning, right?
Because of this, among the folk arts, there are many bizarre and weird arts that are passed down from master to student, and if something goes wrong with the inheritor, that secret art may be lost.

The technique of attracting thunder is made with the help of thunder sand, and the method of refining thunder sand has long been lost.

Seeing the star sand in this place now, combined with the previous legend of the Thunder Valley, the saying that the immortal sent down thunder naturally has an explanation.This thing is actually a substance that modern science has not yet discovered. This substance can trigger thunder when the wind blows.

For example, it is like someone holding an iron rod on a rainy day, which will naturally increase the probability of being struck by lightning.

At this moment, lightning flashes across the night sky from time to time, the sky and the earth flicker, and the star sand on the top also responds to the thunder and lightning, appearing and disappearing from time to time, but we are hiding in the cave, and the thunder does not hit us .

It was windy and rainy at night, with lightning and thunder. We hid in the valley, but it was dry and safe, and there was no danger of being struck by lightning.

I felt a little strange, and said, "Does the star sand have to be on the body to seduce the lightning strike?"

Zhou Xuanye stared at the sky, shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't know how to use Thunder Sand either."

Tang Linlin said: "The area covered by the thunder sand is too wide. If there is a place with thunder sand, it will be struck by lightning. The probability is quite high, and it may not hit people. I think those people who were struck by lightning before must be It's bad luck."

Tan Ren only said one sentence: "It's not that simple." When he said this, his expression was very serious.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a dark figure sneaking up from behind the grave mound closest to our mountain depression. In this graveyard where lightning flashed and thundered, suddenly it came out like this, and it shocked me. He was so frightened that his heart almost missed a beat.

What it is?
Why did it emerge from the grave?

I believe that anyone in my current situation can easily relate to things like ghosts and ghosts, so at this moment, what I thought was, did the corpse crawl out of the grave?Of course, this absurd idea was soon shattered, because the black shadow rushed out quickly, and very quickly came towards the hiding place of the few of us.

At this moment, I could see clearly that the black shadow that emerged from behind the grave was actually another huge black mouse, with fierce eyes, rushing towards us.

I breathed a sigh of relief, I am a big man, can I be afraid of a mouse?It is here to seek death!I took a slight step forward, and when I was about to wait for it to rush over and kick it away, Zhou Xuanye behind me suddenly grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back hard. At the same time, he quickly pulled out Si Gui with his right hand The sword, like a javelin, stabbed fiercely at the fast-moving rat.

His sudden force was so great that the mouse was pierced by him, and at the moment Si Guijian pierced the mouse, a dazzling lightning flashed down.The dazzling light made everyone close their eyes subconsciously. I just felt that there was only a dazzling white in the sky and the earth. I couldn't help blocking my eyes. A rat that had been chopped into charcoal, and the ghost sword that fell to the ground.

That lightning... actually hit that mouse?

Could it be because of the ghost sword?
After all, Si Guijian contains iron, so it seems understandable to have a stronger ability to attract lightning.

But I felt that something was wrong. The mouse is a very alert animal. This big mouse is alone and has no companions. How dare it rush towards us four big living people?And that thunder, is it too a coincidence?

At this time, Zhou Xuanye's hand was still in the same position as it was clasping my shoulder just now, and I felt that his fingers were getting stronger and stronger, and his eyes were fixed on the rat corpse not far away. eccentric.

The hand he clasped my shoulder was his left hand, which was unexpectedly strong. Even though I am a big man, I also felt that the shoulder was very painful, so I said: "Brother Zhou, what's wrong with you? Let go of your hand first, It doesn't matter if you crippled my arm, don't shatter the injury on your own arm." By the way, I sent a message of concern for the boss, which will enhance my favorability and lay a solid foundation for my future salary increase.A qualified employee must learn to care about the health of the boss!
Hearing this, Zhou Xuanye came back to his senses, let go, hissed, and covered the gauze on his left arm, it seemed that the wound was still affected.

But he didn't dwell on it, but said, "I think there's something wrong with the rats here, I'll go and have a look."

Tan Ren stopped him and said, "I'll go." After speaking, he rushed into the rain.Along the way, it was Tan Yan who opened the way. I felt very sorry, so I immediately said, "I'll help." Then he followed.

Squatting beside the scorched rat, Tan Ren glanced at me, wiped the water off his face, and said, "What are you doing here?"

"help."

He suddenly smiled, and said: "Okay." As he spoke, he threw me a dagger and said, "Open the belly of this mouse and find out if there is anything in its body."

Could it be that he and Zhou Xuanye suspected that the thunder and lightning had something to do with rats?

I know that Tan Ren doesn't really like bloody things. Although I don't like it myself, I can't let the boss do it right now, so I gritted my teeth and started to cut open the mouse's belly.

The moment the belly was opened, the visceral intestines flowed out, and the disgusting smell rushed straight into the nostrils.Tan Ren took a step back and stood aside with his hands folded. He had no intention of helping, but just stared at my movements, carefully observing the leaking internal organs, looking very careful.

I endured my nausea and rummaged inside, not to mention, I finally found some clues.From the mouse's intestines, I found some black sand-like things.These things stick to the inside of the mouse's intestines like scale, not to mention how disgusting, and the most important thing is that I haven't worn gloves yet.

At this moment, my hands are covered with sticky intestinal juice, and the feeling of rubbing the particles is very subtle, accompanied by the stench, which makes people get goosebumps.

At this time, Tan Ren stared at those things and said, "It's true." It seems that he has come to a conclusion.
