Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 319 Cher's Abnormality

At this time, Cai Zhongtang also rushed in with the Cai family's subordinates, but they came a step late, and when they came in, they saw the monster that I had killed on the ground and the body of the youngest Zheng.

"Not a zombie?"

Cai Zhongtang muttered to himself, and the light of the flashlight shone on the remains of the monster.This is a skinny human with only skin and bones left. The body is less than 1.6 meters thin, and there are still pieces of raised bones under the dry skin.

I pondered in my heart, as Cai Zhongtang said, the real zombies are born from the resentment of heaven and earth. They absorb the spirit of ghosts and the blood essence of living things, and their bodies are invulnerable. Even if there is no food supply, they will never become what they are today. appearance.

"Damn it, I told you to kill the youngest Zheng!"

The man from the Cai family named A Biao stretched out one foot and kicked on the monster's corpse. There was a metallic sound, and A Biao screamed while covering his foot, as if he had kicked on an iron plate.

My eyes sparkled, I reached out and tapped on the monster's skin, there was a crisp sound, its body was like steel.I used the Qi Watching Technique again, and saw wisps of corpse energy and resentment continuously escaping from the monster's corpse.

"Zombie... This thing is also a zombie! A skinny zombie that can eat meat!"

I was horrified, this scene reminded me of what happened to Cai Zhongyong, it was exactly the same as the monster in front of me.

I turned my head and met Cai Zhongtang's eyes. He also thought of me at the moment, and the horror on his face couldn't be concealed.

"Go out first, the smell here is not good."

I wrinkled my nose and said, this stone house has no windows, and the stone door has been closed for thousands of years, the smell inside is very uncomfortable.As for the original gas mask, it had already been taken off when entering the city.

The few of us left the house one after another, but no one cared about the gnawed and broken body of the youngest Zheng. After all, this place is very weird, and the Cai family dare not focus on a dead body.

"Master, are you okay?" Seeing me coming out, Long Zhu immediately grabbed my hand and asked with concern.

I shook my head, but my heart was depressed.

"Sure enough, a famous teacher produces an excellent apprentice. Brother Chen's skills are really extraordinary." Cai Zhongtang looked at me formally for the first time, and was also very surprised that I could kill monsters within a few rounds.

I didn't want to talk to him about these nonsense, so I pointed to the stone door on the right side that I had just pushed through a gap, the monster inside had already calmed down, only a severed hand under the door was still lying there quietly.

"If I'm not wrong, every stone house in this city has such a monster imprisoned, and this place is not Qushang City in the ancient Shu Kingdom at all!" I said, I am quite sure that this place is definitely not Qu Shangcheng.Because I suddenly remembered that in the dream that the evil dragon soul in Dujiangyan gave me back then, I saw Ruochu take it to an extremely magnificent city.You must know that Ruochu, as the high priest of the ancient Shu Kingdom, would naturally live in the royal city. The majestic city located on the plain and enjoying the blessing of the sun is the real Qushang City!
After I uttered the guess in my heart, everyone's expressions changed drastically. Although they had been prepared in their hearts, they still felt scared when they really said it.

At this moment, Wang Yifeng, who had been silent since the start of the shock, said: "I just checked the surrounding area, except for the countless stone houses lined up in this place and the palace complex in the middle, there is nothing else. There are no other buildings, and the air is extremely dark, without any human presence, I suspect this place is a cemetery!"

Wang Yifeng's words were like a stone falling into the water, splashing thousands of waves.

From the initial cemetery of the ancient Shu Kingdom to the suspected Qu Shangcheng, and now it has turned back to a tomb again. All these turning points are really dramatic.

"How is it possible! Our Cai family is doing this business. If it's really a cemetery, how can we not see it? Have you ever heard of someone who would build his cemetery into a city, and even put it in every stone house?" Shut up such a monster." A Biao's temper was very hot, and he yelled out immediately, making Wang Yifeng and Liu Zelong frown.

Cai Zhongtang hurriedly said: "A Biao, don't talk nonsense. Master Wang is a figure like Mount Tai in the world of practice, so how can he talk nonsense. And after Master Wang said this, I also feel that it is indeed somewhat similar. In ancient times, every Every emperor will build a mausoleum for himself at the beginning of his accession to the throne, and many of them will build underground palaces in imitation of the appearance of the reign before him. Just like the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, there are a large number of terracotta warriors and horses buried below. It is said that various palaces are also built in the underground palace of the Qinhuang Mausoleum Pavilions, even surrounded by mercury. Therefore, the specifications and forms of tombs are ever-changing, which cannot be judged by common sense."

"Before we denied that this place was not a tomb, firstly, we had never heard of anyone building his own tomb in a cave, and secondly, it was also because there was a legend about Qu Shangcheng in this place since ancient times. There are too many. First of all, the capital city of a country cannot be built underground, and these stone houses and the monsters inside do not look like cities, but more like guards used to guard the tomb. Moreover, this ancient Shu Kingdom is different from the civilization of the Central Plains , No one has ever discovered the tombs of the ancient Shu Kingdom before, maybe their tombs were of this type at that time, you must know that underground caves are very common in the Yunnan-Guichuan area."

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy. After Cai Zhongtang's explanation, everyone couldn't help agreeing a little bit.

However, I don't care about them at the moment, and I keep calling Xue'er's name in my heart.

If what Cai Zhongtang said is true, this place is a cemetery in the form of a city.That contradicts Xueer's previous words.When I was still at the Cai family, it was because Xueer said that this place was Qushangcheng, and the rumors about Qushangcheng was indeed here, that made me believe her.Judging from the information she disclosed many times later, Xueer should have been here, so I firmly believe in her words.

At this moment, Qu Shangcheng's conjecture was directly overturned, so in other words, there are only two possibilities, one is that Xue'er herself made a mistake and remembered the wrong location.And the second is that Xueer is simply telling lies!

As time went by, no matter how I shouted in my heart, I didn't get any response, as if she had already left.

Doubts and fears in my heart continued to grow. This feeling was like being cheated by someone I trusted the most.You know, the reason why I came here was that Xueer asked me to come after she told me about Qu Shangcheng!
What is the purpose of her deceiving me here!
"Master, what's wrong with you? Everyone is watching you!"

I was shaken awake from my contemplation by Long Zhu, only to realize that other people had finished speaking at some point and were staring at me.

"Chen Zixuan, why do I feel that something is wrong with you since you came in?" Cai Yawen stared at me with piercing eyes, as if she wanted to see through my heart.

"It's nothing, it's just too depressing here."

I casually brushed it off, still thinking about Xue'er in my heart, it was really hard to let go.

"If everyone is fine, let's take a look in the direction of the palace. It should be where the Lord is, and see if we can find anything." Cai Zhongtang suggested, although he died shortly after entering. People, but if everyone is not from the Xuanmen Jianghu, or from a tomb robber family like the Cai family, it really doesn't matter if someone dies.

A group of people kept approaching the palace along the stone-paved street. There were closed stone houses on both sides, and there might be a bloodthirsty monster inside. This feeling made everyone extremely depressed.

I looked at Wang Yifeng who was walking beside me, and a question suddenly popped up in my heart, so I opened my mouth and said, "Master Wang, I don't know if the illusion has any effect on those zombies?"

Wang Yifeng was taken aback, glanced at me, and said, "Hmph, your question is quite tricky. Zombies don't have their own consciousness and act on instinct, so the illusion in the hands of general illusion masters is not very effective for zombies. It has no effect, they can completely lock with breath. But that is just an ordinary illusion. In the hands of real illusion masters, not only can illusions be created, but also the taste of breath can be simulated, and even human memory can be simulated. , it is completely possible to create a virtual world in which zombies are deeply trapped..."
