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

Chapter 398
Li Quanshan's ingratiating smile froze on his face, and then he ran away without saying a word, and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

With his appearance like this, he didn't even have a lighter on him, and there were still two days and two nights to go on the mountain road, full of poisonous insects and wild beasts. Whether he could get out safely could only depend on luck.It is better to be evil than to do evil, this is what Zhou Xuanye said. There are two reasons for doing good. One is to make one's heart feel at ease, and the other is that people like Zhou Xuanye pay attention to accumulating virtue and transforming evil.

As for Li Quanshan, who digs graves and is full of evil spirits, saving him not only will not increase his virtue, but will cause disasters. Therefore, I quite agree with Tan Ren's seemingly indifferent approach.The ancients had a saying: Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?

We untied him and at least gave him a chance to live.To prevent him from being sucked into a human body in this place is already the best of humanity. As for whether the person behind him is dead or alive, it depends on God's will and his luck.

After driving away Li Quanshan, we continued to move forward with the wormwood. There was a dense forest at the end of the wormwood. It was completely dark in the surrounding area at this moment, and we couldn't see our fingers. Under the light of the flashlight, the surrounding area looked gray. There seems to be an invisible mist steaming in the forest.

The ground of the dense forest is covered with thick dead leaves, exuding a fragrance of trees and a faint scent of rotten leaves. When you step on it, it sinks slightly, and there is a creaking sound.Tan Ren held a compass in his hand, and he held up the compass to lead the way ahead, leading us to turn and turn in the dense forest, and we didn't know where the end point was.

Naturally staying so calm as usual, I don’t know if he trusts us too much, or he has no curiosity at all, and keeps following us in that unhurried tone. I asked him why he didn’t know anything Don't ask, why are you not curious about how we find people.

Tianrandai said indifferently: "I believe in you." He said he believed in you, not in you.

When I heard this, the first reaction in my heart was not to be moved. For some reason, at this moment in my mind, the smiling face of that peerless beauty flashed across my heart, and I couldn't help but thump in my heart.

Naturally, I believe in me so much, if I let him know the truth...

I took a deep breath, let out a haha, stopped talking, and quickly followed behind Tan Ren. At the same time, I decided in my heart that this matter must not be let Tian Dao know about it, and let this matter become a permanent one. secret.

It is very tiring to drive through the night. I don't know how long I followed Tan Ren in the dense forest. I just feel tired and sleepy, all the muscles in my body are protesting, and my eyelids are so heavy that it seems that I can close my eyes when I close them. As if asleep.

Naturally, I didn't ask anything, but I couldn't hold back anymore. I stepped forward to catch up with Tan Ren and asked, "Boss, how long will it take?"

Tan Ren glanced at me, and said casually: "It will be soon." While speaking, he looked forward and said, "It's just ahead." After walking about a hundred meters, Tan Ren stopped He stepped back, looked around with a flashlight, and said, "It's around here."

As soon as I heard this, I immediately lifted my spirits, and immediately raised my voice and shouted: "Brother Zhou! Where are you, Brother Zhou! We are here to find you!"

Tan Ren gestured to the three of us to search nearby separately, but even though I shouted for a long time, no one responded to me.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a muffled groan not far away, and I turned around suddenly in shock, but I turned on the light to see, but there was no one there.

No... No one is wrong. Naturally, he was there just now, why is he gone now?
I immediately realized that the muffled snort just now was probably from him. I was shocked and ran over quickly, thinking that nothing would happen to you. Mommy confessed.

When I ran over, I realized that there was a large hole in the ground that was as wide as a person. It was slightly rectangular, straight up and down, and there was a rustling sound from below. I thought to myself, why is there a hole here? Is it possible to stay in the hole naturally?

I immediately called him twice, and a somewhat ethereal voice came from the bottom of the cave: "I am here." The voice probably passed through the echo of the cave entrance, so the timbre sounded a little abnormal.

I said: "You don't look at the road when you walk, why did you fall into this hole?"

"There is something blocking it, so I didn't pay attention."

I turned the light down, only to find out that the flashlight could not reach the bottom, which means the hole is very deep.At least ten meters away, I was taken aback, wouldn't this make people crippled?I immediately yelled at the entrance of the cave: "Did you get injured?"

Naturally, he said in a daze: "No, there is a dead man down here, and I fell on him." At the end, he added: "It's not Fusang's hard dead man, it's soft."

Fuck, you just say it's a fresh dead man!
While talking, Tan Ren also surrounded me and asked me what was going on. I pointed to the hole and explained the situation. After observing for a while, Tan Ren said, "This is a robbery hole."

Burglary?I said, "Boss, can you recognize this too? I've seen it on TV, isn't the burrow round and round?"

Tan Ren glanced at me from the corner of his eye, showing that I really don't like you, and said lightly: "Who told you that there are only round holes for robbery. The purpose of robbery is to enter the ancient tomb and carry things. The shape varies according to the terrain, soil quality, and object size. This is a Guanzhong-style robbery hole, straight up and down, and there should be grooves for climbing up and down on both sides."

As soon as he said that, I stuck my head into the hole to check carefully, and it was true that there were indeed grooves on both sides of the hole, and people could climb up and down even without ropes.

I was surprised for a moment, thinking how could Tan Ren know so much?

He seemed to see what I was thinking, and said lukewarmly: "The tomb robbers belong to the first line of the eighth line outside. These are common sense."

I got used to it too, touched my nose, and said, "I'd better let Dumb come up first."

"No, he doesn't need to come up, let's go down." Tan Ren said this suddenly, and then planned to drill the hole.

I was surprised for a moment: "Boss, even though you lost in stock trading and even bought the worst gloves, you can't follow those tomb robbers to make a fortune. At worst, you owe my salary first, and then pay it later when you have money." It's the same for me."

Tan Ren snorted coldly, ignored me, and began to climb down, but I had no choice but to follow down to see what this turtle was going to do.

I don't know if it doesn't go on, but after a while, I realized that this robbery hole was really technical. It went straight up and down, straight down from the top of the tomb, and went straight into a tomb.I jumped down from the robbery hole. Since it was the first time I entered the ancient tomb, people like me who only read it on TV and novels were naturally very curious, so I looked around with a flashlight.

I saw that this was a very small tomb, about a square meter, surrounded by walls on three sides, and there was a stone gate on the west side. To be precise, it was a stone gate that was almost blown to pieces.

On the north and south sides of the stone room, there are altars and jars piled up. If you look closely, there are mud seals on them, which seem to be funerary objects containing grain or wine and food.In addition, there is a corpse lying down below the position where we jumped off.

The corpse was very strange. His legs were bent back, and his hands were covering his chest, as if he had a heart attack. There was no blood on his body.Naturally standing next to the corpse, he explained a few words lightly. Only then did I realize that the corpse was actually sitting on its knees at the beginning. The posture was a bit like it was about to climb up. It hit him, so the man fell to the ground.

I saw that there was no blood on this man's body, only the corner of his mouth had blood, and it hadn't turned black. It seemed that it had just flowed out not long ago. He felt his scalp numb for a while, and said in surprise, "Could it be that you fell and directly killed the man?" Was it crushed to death?"

Tan Ren added indifferently: "It's possible."

Tianrandai immediately shouldered the burden of murder, and he stared calmly at the corpse on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.

Just this time, Tan Ren gestured to me, motioning me to search the corpse, and said, "Confirm his identity." Even with gloves on, the tortoise hair minimizes human contact as much as possible.I shook my head, squatted down and started searching for the corpse.

This matter should have been put forward a year ago. I was so courageous that I would not dare to touch it even if I was killed. But now, I have probably formed a pair of copper skin and iron bones. When I touched this cold corpse, I felt like There is no pressure, and the feeling is similar to touching a piece of dead pork.

I found a lot of things from him, all kinds of small things, multifunctional sabers, lighters, candles, quick suits, etc. When searching, I noticed the hand of this man covering his chest. It looked like it was suffering some kind of pain, and it seemed that it was holding something in its hand.

I couldn't help but look at the dead man's face. This is a middle-aged man with a bald head, about 40 years old. If he really suffered something before he died, then his expression should also show pain. There is no painful expression, but a kind of wide-eyed, slightly open mouth, as if dying instantly.

It was said that he was killed by the natural stone, but he was only joking. At such a height, he would not be able to kill anyone unless he broke his neck all at once, but in fact his neck is still fine.

So, what was the cause of this man's death?

And apparently, he wasn't dead for long.

If death wasn't painful, what did the gesture of his hands mean?Could it be holding something?It must be something important to protect it like this before dying.Thinking of this, I immediately went to break his hands.

Soon, I opened the man's stiff fingers, but there was nothing hidden in it as I imagined, on the contrary, it was empty, covering the position of the heart empty.I touched his chest subconsciously, and in an instant, I felt a very soft touch.

I was taken aback, startled, and wondered if this person was a woman disguised as a man?
Damn, if that's the case, then this girl looks too... mighty, right?
