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

Chapter 50
After I finished speaking, Tan Ren didn't mock me any more, but frowned and said, "You mean you gave up?"

I said, "Give up."

Tan Ren sneered and said, "Have you forgotten what our office does?"

I froze for a moment and said, "Look for someone."

Tan Ren pointed to Wang Zehai, and said: "Not only looking for people, but also looking for corpses." Then he said: "If this matter can't be solved, what prestige will I have as a boss in the future, I will let you see it tonight." Experience." Zhou Xuanye on the side just smiled, and did not accept my suggestion of returning.

Although Tan Ren's words are very powerful, but I know that if it were really that easy, he and Zhou Xuanye would not have left directly in the first place.I was about to persuade Tan Ren not to show off his anger for a while, but Zhou Xuanye put his hand on my shoulder and said in a low voice, "This is not only for your conscience, but also for our own conscience."

We looked at each other, looking at his firm eyes, I knew there was no room for maneuver in this matter, so I didn't say anything, but looked at Han Xu who was bouncing around, and said: "We can go, but always We can't let them take risks." The "them" naturally refers to the three of Han Xu.

Wang Zehai was obese and slow-moving, Han Zitong was a woman, physically weak after all, and Han Xu was about the size of a five or six-year-old child. Wouldn't it be courting death to take them there to search for the corpse?
Zhou Xuanye smiled when he heard the words, and said: "The mountain people have their own tricks. Do you know what those things are?" He was obviously talking about those roots, I shook my head, my heart moved, and I asked: "Do you know ? I thought it was some new carnivorous plant."

Zhou Xuanye shook his head, and said: "It is indeed a carnivorous plant, but it is not necessarily a new species. There is a "Ancient and Modern Miscellaneous Notes Volume" in my teacher's school, and a similar plant is recorded in the chapter on gods, called 'Snake Mo' .”

"Snake Mo?" The name is too familiar.

"Hmm. 'Snake Mo' is shade-loving. It lives underground or hides in the shade of vegetation. It recedes when exposed to sunlight, emerges when exposed to moonlight, moves when exposed to fire, and walks when it is warm."

I couldn't help sighing: "How can there be such a strange plant."

Zhou Xuanye said: "There are no wonders in the world. This 'snake mount' is only recorded in legends. It is said that it is the companion creature of the snake demon. Where there is a snake mount, there must be a snake demon."

Wang Zehai was also listening to Huatou, and said in surprise: "Snake demon? Are there really monsters in the world?"

Zhou Xuanye shrugged and said, "It's recorded in the book, but I haven't seen it, so who knows."

Han Zitong was a little nervous, and said, "The black python we met, couldn't it be the snake demon?"

Tan Ren said nonchalantly: "If it is a snake demon, the three of us can still live till now?"

Zhou Xuanye took over the conversation, shook the searchlight in his hand, and said: "This is just the record in ancient books. The ancients knew very little. Some records are unavoidably exaggerated and cannot be fully believed. However, if you know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles, as long as you know this snake Everything will be much easier.” The reason why Zhou Xuanye and the others fled in embarrassment before was only because they were caught off guard, but now, he has calmed down, figured out the origin of Shemo, and has a countermeasure in his mind.

He said to us: "Shemo is afraid of the sun, but not fire. Yang is the essence of heaven and earth; fire is the spirit of earth. If I guess correctly, Han Xu belongs to the dragon, right?" Han Zitong was taken aback, Nodding his head, he said, "Yes."

Zhou Xuanye said: "The spirit of the dragon is upright, as expected, Shemo should not be interested in him. Let's try it when we get to the place, and if we guess correctly, let Han Xu go for us." While saying, He took something out of his pocket.

The thing was packed in a small black cloth bag, and it was a piece of talisman paper folded into a triangle. This talisman was different from the yellow talisman paper I had seen before. Very conspicuous.

Zhou Xuanye pinched the paper talisman and said, "Just throw this paper talisman into the hole in the ground, and I will do the rest."

Han Zitong's eyes were full of suspicion, and he said, "It's that simple?" Actually, I don't know if she doubted it, but I also doubted it in my heart. Although I have seen the skills of Zhou Xuanye and the other two, it is really difficult to get a corpse out of the snake's belly. Can this talisman handle it?
Hearing this, Tan Ren said coldly: "This is the 'God's Charm'. I have been saving it for seven years and I am not willing to use it. If I use it here today, she will not be wronged." The name sounds familiar to me, Thinking about it carefully, Tang Linlin seemed to have mentioned this thing.

At that time, I was chatting with her and asked her how Tan Yan and the others searched for the dead. Is it like the priest who exorcised corpses on TV, walking in front with a bell, and the corpse jumped behind.

Tang Linlin touched her small chin at the time, and said: "Almost, but corpses can't jump. Using jumping corpses is something that low-level 'corpse refiners' can do. Advanced 'corpse refiners' can walk around. At that time, the corpse is like a living person, except that it can't speak or breathe, and the rest can walk, sit or lie down."

I was very surprised when I heard it, and asked her: "Among the corpse refiners, is Brother Zhou one of the most powerful or not?"

Tang Linlin spread her hands and said, "I don't know. The art of refining corpses is almost lost, so there is no comparison. But I know that Zhou Xuanye has a 'God's Talisman'. , The patriarch sent the spirit, and the corpse walking thousands of miles is not a problem. In this way, it is probably considered powerful." The so-called walking corpses for thousands of miles refers to transporting corpses to a long distance in an instant by using a charm.

This sounds like a fairy tale. In fact, corpse refining is actually a technique summed up by ancient alchemists based on the principle of corpse transformation. Perform a temporary corpse change.

The corpses of corpse transformations are called hair corpses, and on top of the hair corpses, there are Hanba and Kuiba. These belong to the legendary high-level corpse transformation. The corpses can fly into the sky and travel thousands of miles a day.

And the function of the descending talisman is to invite the ancestor of the corpse refining line to descend, causing the corpse to appear a temporary "top corpse change", possessing the ability of drought demon Kuiba.At that time, Tang Linlin just mentioned it in passing, and she didn't know it too well, so I only had such a rough impression, but I also knew that the magic charm is a very powerful thing.

For a moment, I couldn't help staring at the talisman paper on Zhou Xuanye's finger.

As Tan Ren said, this thing has been on Zhou Xuanye's body for seven years and he is not willing to use it. It is very precious and rare.

Han Zitong was still a little skeptical, or rather, although she felt guilty, she didn't want Han Xu to take risks, so she said, "Is there any other way, I'm worried about Xiaoxu..." She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was It is clear.

Zhou Xuanye was silent for a while, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "You are his guardian, you can make a decision. But time is running out, if we want to preserve the body, we'd better do it as soon as possible." I heard that it was eaten by a boa constrictor The food, the bones will be broken due to extrusion. When I think of that situation, my heart is heavy.

Han Zitong didn't say a word, he was on the verge of hesitation, but at this moment, Han Xu said bouncingly: "Xiaoxu wants to help, Xiaoxu wants to throw a talisman..." The sight of a big man acting cute really makes people want to Poke both eyes.

Zhou Xuanye struck while the iron was hot, and said, "Let Han Xu try it out first, if the Shemo shows signs of attacking, then we have no choice but to give up."

Han Zitong could only nod his head when he heard the words, and said worriedly, "Even if the snakes don't attack Xiaoxu, what about those snakes?"

Wang Zehai immediately said: "We have snake repellent, but we didn't know there were snakes before, so we didn't take it out." As he spoke, he took out a plastic bag from his bag, which contained yellow balls the size of longan , The main raw material of this thing is sulfur, the smell is very pungent, and putting it in the pocket can effectively avoid insects and snakes.

While speaking, Wang Zehai tore open the plastic bag and put the pills into each of Han Xu's pockets, muttering, "Put more and kill them."

After doing all this, everyone had no scruples and quickly reached the dangerous area.

We stopped, and Zhou Xuanye handed over the searchlight to Han Xu, and told him what to do next, very clearly.In fact, it's not difficult, just throw the talisman paper into the snake hole.
