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

Chapter 433 Guards

I had never heard that strange voice before, it sounded like a man, and when I thought of Zhou Xuanye who suddenly appeared, I guessed the identity of the other party, most likely he was from the capital, Zhou Xuanye somehow escaped from them, This is to kill people.

Tan Ren and I escaped the gun with Zhou Xuanye's easy push, but the shooter didn't stop, more and more footsteps sounded, obviously there were more people chasing up, one step later, I'm afraid I'm about to be besieged.

For a while, we didn't care about talking anymore. Seeing Zhou Xuanye running away to a dark place, with the light on, we could vaguely see an arched entrance and exit in that place. Immediately, Tan Ren and I followed Zhou Xuanye to run in, but Seeing that on both sides of the tomb passage, many secret passages have been opened up. At a glance, it is unclear where they lead to. On the contrary, it is the end of the tomb passage, but it is a dead wall.

I immediately realized that this was probably a trap to confuse people. There are so many entrances and exits, only one is safe, and the rest are probably traps.

"Where should I go?" I asked.

But at this time, we didn't have much room to think, because the footsteps of the people in the capital were very close. This is the tomb passage, and it is located in a narrow place. Being beaten into a hornet's nest, in a hurry, Zhou Xuanye was obviously trying his luck, and suddenly dodged into one of the entrances and exits.

Tan Ren and I had no choice but to dodge and hide immediately before the group of people followed.

There are so many passages, and when those people come in, they probably don't know where we are, and if they want to determine our location, it will take a lot of effort.

The entrance and exit are very deep, we worried about attracting attention, ran forward, and finally turned off the lights.Because I was afraid that there would be a mechanism in this place, after turning off the lights, I didn't dare to scurry around here, so I lay down on my body and slowly groped forward.

Soon, a halo of light appeared at the entrance, obviously people from the capital, but because we hid very deep, they couldn't see our situation, and out of taboo, they didn't chase in blindly.

I lowered my voice and said, "What should I do now?"

"Pray," he said.

"Huh?" I didn't respond.

He said: "Pray that we choose the right path, otherwise we will die." The three of us lay on the ground, and we couldn't turn on the lights, so we could only slowly grope forward in the dark.When the eyes cannot see, the hearing and touch become extremely sharp. The floor tiles are hard, cold, and very dry. After climbing a few steps, there is a turning. We were overjoyed and turned around quickly.

If we were hiding behind this corner, people outside would not notice it even if we turned on the light, but just to be on the safe side, we only turned on the flashlight with the lowest power.However, the moment the flashlight was turned on, a cyan face suddenly appeared in the line of sight. It was obviously a dead face, and it was hanging upside down, less than ten centimeters away from my face.

Taking a deep breath, his left hand, which was still moving, suddenly covered his mouth, swallowing the reflex scream.

Zhou Xuanye and Tan Ren obviously didn't expect such a situation, they all changed color, I covered my mouth, and slowly moved the light, only then did I realize that there were dense numbers of human corpses hanging upside down in the tomb passage at the corner. The corpse was completely naked and tied with ropes, which reminded me of a kind of food called 'rabbit wrapped in silk'.

That is to say, the rabbit is washed and stripped, castrated, then wrapped with a thin rope made of a plant, hung in the air vent, and marinated successfully. When you need to eat it, take it off and go to the top Steamed, fried, fried, and fried with thin ropes, the rabbits without the ropes were strangled like thin sticks.

At this moment, these corpses are similar to silk-wrapped rabbits. The only thing that is not entangled by the rope is the head. For some unknown reason, they have not rotted. At a glance, the faces of the dead corpses are extremely distorted, with their mouths wide open. , the eyeballs are shrunken, only the eyelids are raised and drooped, and there is a special smell in the air, like stinky salted fish.

At this time Zhou Xuanye lowered his voice and said, "Salt Corpse."

I understand this. I read it when I was reading history books. Draining the corpses and pickling them with salt is like pickling salted fish. It is an ancient method of preserving corpses. It seems that the reason why these hanging corpses are still alive Non-perishable, processed with high salt.

When I thought that the salted fish smell was actually not salted fish, but salted corpses, I felt a little nauseous, and said in a low voice: "This looks like a trap, I was too insane at that time, just die by myself , and so many people were buried with him."

Zhou Xuanye said: "You also know about waiting for yourself?"

I said: "I met another group of tomb robbers, they told me."

Zhou Xuanye looked at the surrounding corpses, and said: "These corpses are not as simple as being buried with you." After a pause, he said: "I'm afraid those people won't let it go, and look inside again." After speaking, he lay down on his stomach and continued Go forward, motioning me and Tan Ren to follow.

No matter how much we talk, now is not the time for us to talk, so the tomb is extremely silent. These corpses hang very low, and when they sit up, they just face them, and it is okay when they lie down.

About ten meters away, we climbed to the end, the end was sealed, and there was a stone relief. We reached out and groped for a while, but we didn't see any difference.At this moment, from the tomb passage at the back, there was a faint sound of footsteps and someone talking. I don't know what they were talking about, but sporadically, they seemed to be saying something like cutting grass and roots.

I was startled, and wondered why this group of people came so quickly, could it be that they split up and someone came in from every passage to inquire?
Tan Ren conveniently pulled out the dagger from my waist, it seemed that he was going to fight for his life, but Zhou Xuanye pressed his arm, and said in a low voice that seemed to be breathing: "The other party has a gun, and he is invincible. .”

Tan Ren's lips moved slightly, although he didn't make a sound, but through the shape of his lips, I also knew what he was talking about.

What he said was: Me too.

Tan Yan did have a gun, but there was only one, and it was the kind with a small bullet capacity.Even if you go all out for a shootout, there is no advantage, but now the road is dead, but the opponent is already approaching, what should we do?

Listening to the movement, although I don't know the exact number of people, there are at least two.

I asked, "Each of them have a gun?"

Zhou Xuanye nodded slightly.

It's over now, it's like being blocked and beaten.

Just this time, I saw the hoisted corpses in front of me. Looking up along the bodies of the corpses, I suddenly had an idea, and pointed to the top of the corpses. I saw the top of the tomb passage. In order to hang the corpses, There are protruding stone beams, and there are ropes.

Zhou Xuanye and the two of them are not fools. I pointed my finger like this, and they understood what I meant. Immediately, Zhou Xuanye supported the stone wall with both hands and took a horse step. Tan Ren stepped on his thigh suddenly, and stepped on Zhou Xuanye. With a jump on his shoulders, the whole body fell onto the stone beam.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xuanye gave me a wink, and I followed suit, and I jumped up in three or two seconds. I have to say that my skills have improved a lot compared to before.

In the end, Zhou Xuanye was the only one left, he jumped, Tan Ren reached out and pulled him up.Before observing the surrounding environment, Zhou Xuanye turned off the flashlight in his hand, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.

I lay down on the stone beam, and my nervous breathing was suppressed.After about ten seconds, a dim light appeared at the end.The light came through, and two people could be vaguely seen walking in from the opposite side.Because of the hanging corpses blocking them, the specific attire and appearance of the two people could not be seen clearly. I could only see that they were tall and cautious in their movements, as if they had undergone professional training, and they were by no means ordinary people.

As soon as these two people came in, they were probably taken aback when they saw these hanging corpses, so they heard one of them ask: "Why are there so many corpses hanging?"

Another person said: "This is called 'Corpse Watching Guards', they can't go up to the sky, they can't go down to the ground, the whole underground palace is under their surveillance, if a person enters it, it's like being trapped by a ghost hitting a wall, and it's hard to get out of it. "

"Will those three people be inside? Could it be that they are entangled?"

"No, there seems to be something wrong with the 'Corpse Guard'. You can see that their mouths are all wide open. Opening their mouths will release the corpse's breath. In this way, the effect of the guard will disappear. This seems to be a failure. The alchemist who built this Xianhou tomb has such supernatural powers, how could there be a mistake here?"

The person who spoke first said: "Never mind it, wouldn't it be better if there was a mistake. If it is really effective, it will cause us trouble instead. You see." Suddenly, the person seemed to have discovered something, and said: "There is blood."

My heart skipped a beat, and my heart said it was broken, Tan Ren and I both had injuries, and there was inevitably blood on our clothes.Tan Ren changed his clothes, but I didn't. Most likely, he accidentally rubbed on the ground while crawling.

After the man finished speaking, the two stopped talking, obviously knowing that we were inside, so their vigilance increased.Immediately afterwards, the two of them walked towards the corpse formation with flashlights on.My heart is pounding, this place is so big, sooner or later they will find out.

If he wanted to avoid this catastrophe, he could only act first and get rid of these two people.

Are you going to kill someone?
Damn it, kill it, kill it, these two people want to wipe us out, if you don't kill us, are you waiting to die?

But what should we do now?
At this moment, I saw that Tan Ren had already pulled out his gun.
