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

Chapter 199 Owls

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Tang Linlin was surprised and said, "How did this happen? We obviously walked straight along the lake, how could we go back to our original position? Could it be... Could it be that we ran into something evil?"

I reacted, and immediately said: "Ghost hitting the wall?"

The kid sat on my shoulder without any weight, shook his head and said, "Xiao An didn't hit the wall."

Zhou Xuanye frowned slightly, and said: "It's useless to think too much now, let's try again." Then, he pulled out the ghost sword on his back, thrust it backhand, and inserted it into the soil on the ground, leaving half of it The blade of the sword stood upright.

Immediately afterwards, he made a gesture and said: "Go back." Everyone understood Zhou Xuanye's meaning, and they walked back along the lake without caring about being tired.The lake is in the shape of a long snake. We are sure of this, because there are cliffs on both sides. It is impossible for us to detour along the cliffs and lakes.

This time everyone walked in a hurry, so it only took more than two hours before we answered the beginning of the lake.I took a powerful searchlight and swung upwards, and at the end of my sight, the sea of ​​flowers appeared again, and what made everyone feel cold was that there was a ghost sword sticking out in front of the sea of ​​flowers!
Tan Ren took a deep breath and pondered: "Could it be a ghost hitting the wall?" While speaking, he looked at the little ghost and said, "Are there any similar ones of yours nearby?" According to what Zhou Xuanye said before, these mountain spirits There is a sense between ghosts and things. If there are really unclean things in this area, then the little ghost should know it.

The little ghost was a little afraid of Tan Ren, so under Tan Ren's stern expression, it shrank its neck and hid behind me, only showing its head, and said timidly: "There is no such thing as Xiao An."

Zhou Xuanye walked up the slope, and finally drew out the ghost sword, saying: "There is a problem here, but I don't know what is causing the trouble."

Tang Linlin said: "Xiao'an said there are no ghosts, so it's not ghosts hitting the wall?"

Zhou Xuanye glanced at Xiao An, and said: "Not necessarily, if the opponent's Taoism is too high, it won't feel it."

Could this be Yumen's trap?

How did they do it?
Could it be that like me, you are also raising ghosts?

While talking, Zhou Xuanye and Tan Ren looked at each other. The two were brothers since childhood, and they had a perfect understanding. They could understand each other's plan with just a look.Before Tang Linlin and I could react, the two of them had already taken out the incense candles from the small bag they were carrying.

I have seen them use it before, and it is said that this is the safest and most effective way to verify Ah Piao.

After a while, the incense candles were all lit, and we began to observe the trend of the incense and the beating of the candle flame. However, until the incense was burned out, everything was normal.

Even Zhou Xuanye himself was a little confused, and murmured: "How could this be? There is no Yin Qi, no ghost Qi, but why can't we go out?"

If it is not a ghost, then what is the reason?

Even Tan Ren and the two of them felt that it was tricky and there was nothing they could do, and even an ordinary person like me couldn't think of a way.In desperation, I just subconsciously took a searchlight and looked around, hoping to find some clues.However, when I turned the searchlight to the right, I suddenly saw something squatting on a big rock near the edge of the cliff.

is a bird.

An owl, to be exact.

It is much larger than ordinary owls, almost as big as Xiao An, and it is because of this that I can see it so clearly.

The huge owl has stood on the big rock for an unknown how long. At this moment, two round yellow eyes are staring straight at us, as if peeping.Not two seconds after I turned on the light, the owl immediately flapped its wings and took flight.

I know it's a bird that doesn't like light.

Therefore, as soon as it flew into the darkness, it disappeared immediately.

If it is normal, I will not pay attention to a bird for no reason.But the size of this bird and the place where it appeared are very strange, so I have to associate it with the strange situation at present.

Could it be that the owl is playing tricks?
Seeing that it is so big, maybe it is still a good one?

Just as this idea came up, there was a sudden sound of flapping wings in the darkness, as if countless birds were flying up at the same time.

The sound startled everyone, Zhou Xuanye immediately turned his gaze to the direction where the sound appeared, and I also took advantage of the opportunity to hit the light into the sky. In an instant, countless big brown birds appeared in our sight.

Those things were a group of owls, big and small, with yellow eyes, staring at us as if they were prey, and flew towards us quickly.

Tan Ren burst into a foul language: "Damn it!"

Tang Linlin reacted quickly, and immediately drew out her dagger. In the past six months, my reaction ability has also been trained, so when I saw these menacing owls, I also drew out my dagger to defend myself.But at this moment, Zhou Xuanye put the Sigui sword back into its sheath, and said anxiously: "Don't use the knife, killing birds in Yumen's chassis is a serious crime!"

While talking, those owls have rushed over, with hard beaks and sharp claws, trying to catch us, but any peck by them will immediately bleed.We heard Zhou Xuanye's words and thought of the perverted Yumen, so we didn't dare to use daggers for a while, we could only use flashlights to swipe them, trying to drive them away.

But there are too many of these things, and at a glance, they are all over the sky, and bird feathers fall off from time to time.

It didn't take long for a few of us to be scratched and pecked.At the critical moment, I saw a lake not far away, and suddenly thought of a way, and immediately shouted: "They are afraid of water, hurry up, let's run to the lake."

Except for water birds, most birds actually don't like water, because getting water will make their wings heavy, which is not conducive to flying.

Owls naturally don't like water. I think water attack will not hurt the birds, but also drive them away.

The other three people were not stupid. Hearing my yell, they immediately understood what I meant. At that moment, the four of them stood and retreated, stumbled all the way to the edge of the lake.

I immediately took out the portable handle Guo used for camping in the wild, and used it as a water scoop. After scooping up water, I splashed it on the owl.These things flew very low in order to peck us, so the water thrown out was not wasted at all, and it was all poured on the birds.

This frightened the group of big birds, and they scattered in shock.But before we were given a chance to breathe, they gathered again and became even more fierce.But this time, Tan Ren and the others also started to splash water, and the four of them together poured out a considerable amount of water. The owls finally couldn't stand it, gradually dispersed, and finally disappeared into the night sky.

At this time, the four of us were already drenched and embarrassed.

Even though it was as warm as spring in this valley, the wet clothes stuck to his body felt a chill when the night wind blew like this.

Tang Linlin couldn't help sneezing, gasping for breath, with a bird feather stuck in her head: "I swear, I really hate owls, does it treat us like mice?"

I said: "How can there be a mouse as big as us. Don't you find it strange that this owl is too big. Tell me, don't you become a genius? We can't get out now. Could it be related to the owl?"

Zhou Xuanye took off his coat, threw it on the ground, and said, "Where are there so many goblins? If the owls really become spirits, how can we repel them with water? I think these owls seem to be human beings. Breeding, owls are not social animals, and they will not actively attack people."

I immediately understood what he meant, and said, "You mean, someone was manipulating them to attack us just now?"

Zhou Xuanye nodded. Immediately afterwards, Langsheng shouted: "The four of us, it is wrong to rush in, just because we have something to ask for. That friend who has been staring at us, I hope to show up for a while!"

In a bright night with few stars and a vast area, Zhou Xuanye's voice was clearly pronounced and could be heard far away.

Combined with what Xiaoan said before, someone gave us the antidote, and the suspicion that someone commanded the owl just now, it is obvious that there has been a mysterious person who has been observing our every move and trying to stop us.

After Zhou Xuanye finished speaking, there was no movement or response around him, only the whistling of the night wind, and the occasional chirping of unknown insects in the grass.

After waiting for a while to no avail, he shook his head and said, "It seems that the other party is not planning to show up."

Tang Linlin said: "The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light. It is too easy for her to deceive us."

Tan Ren said lightly: "These are small problems, but important things. We are here to ask people to do things. We can't use many methods." Just like the owls just now, to be honest, those owls are big and fly like a bird. Low, if Zhou Xuanye made a murderous attempt, it would be very easy for the ghost sword in his hand to settle them down.It's just that we have to ask others for everything, and we have to restrain ourselves in many ways.In such an environment, we are really at a disadvantage.
