a zombie haunts me

Chapter 243 Gourd Fairy

"Is it useless once you use it?"

I frowned slightly, and looked at Bai Chenxu intently, a little in disbelief.

"Of course not, it's just that once the red rope is released, it won't work on the same target for the second time."

At that moment, I finally understood what was going on.

Shen Shen nodded, and I said to Bai Chenxu, "Okay, I will remember."

Bai Chenxu and I groped our way to Tiancui Cave. The further we went, the steeper the mountain road became.

When I was almost at Tiancui Cave, I vaguely heard some strange sounds.

"Did you hear that?"

I grabbed Bai Chenxu's hand and asked in a low voice, but he didn't answer me, he just kept walking forward.

"and many more!"

I simply grabbed him, but I didn't expect that he didn't pay any attention to me, and just shook off my hand.

"Bai Chenxu!"

In an instant, I sensed that something was wrong with Bai Chenxu, so in desperation, I stepped forward in two or three steps and stood in front of Bai Chenxu.

"Don't stop me, I'm going to save Master."

Only then did Bai Chenxu react, but his anxiety made me feel uneasy.

The rustling sound became more and more obvious, and I was sure I heard it right.

However, it is normal for Bai Chenxu not to hear. My ears are indeed more sensitive than normal people.

Suddenly, my foot seemed to be tripped by something, and when I looked down, it turned out to be a huge mouse.

I was so scared that I backed up a few steps and almost screamed. Bai Chenxu stepped forward to block me, gave me a slanted look, and said, "It's just a mouse, what's there to be afraid of?"

But in the next second, hordes of mice crawled towards us, which made me gasp.

Those mice were not only big, but also had round bellies, as if they had just eaten and were very full, and their running speed was much slower.

But the strange thing is that those mice have an unpleasant rancid smell, like sauerkraut that has been soaked in a jar for too long in summer, which is disgusting.

Not only that, the fur on those mice was shiny and shiny, and there was a strong smell of blood on their bodies, as if they had just experienced a war.

"Have you noticed that these mice not only have thick fur, but also have very sharp teeth?"

I asked Bai Chenxu, but he still didn't answer me, just nodded.

"If I'm not mistaken, they must have grown up eating rotting corpses."

As soon as the words were finished, there were more and more rats. Bai Chenxu and I had to burn some talismans and formed a circle. The rats seemed to be scared and dared not enter the circle, so they all crawled away.

I suddenly remembered that there are legends about Baicui Mountain that some people disappear every year for no reason, some people get lost in the mountains, some people are injured by miasma, and some people enter the mountain without fear of death.

Thinking about it now, those missing people may have already become the prey of rats.

Bai Chenxu and I waited quietly until the mice were gone, and then slowly walked out of the circle.

After walking a little further, we saw the entrance of the cave.

"Hey, it's really here."

I frowned suspiciously and looked up at the cave.

The cave is very high, and the surrounding walls are also very thick. Visually, the cave seems to be very large and deep. However, in such a large place, it may be too difficult for us to find the souls that have been locked up by human methods.

Just as he was thinking, a small gourd on Bai Chenxu's body slowly jumped out of his pocket.

"Master is here, Master..."

Bai Chenxu was so excited that he was almost speechless, he was holding that little gourd like he was holding some kind of treasure.

However, the smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger, and the smell of blood was mixed with the stench of decay, so Bai Chenxu and I dared not go into the cave easily.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Chenxu seemed to have an idea. He quickly opened the little gourd, but unexpectedly, the little gourd seemed to be suddenly hungry, sucking in gasp and swell.

"This gourd fairy is a ghost that my master took in a long time ago. He has powerful mana, but he hides in the gourd."

Bai Chenxu's explanation stunned me for a moment, and I suddenly thought of the wine gourd that Nineteenth Gong pinned to his waist.

"Could it be..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Chenxu understood what I meant, nodded, and said, "Master's wine gourd has always contained such a ghost."

Only then did I suddenly realize that when I was in Coffin Town, Shi Jiugong could break the blindness with a sip of wine. It turns out that there is such a treasure living in this gourd.

Gradually, the stench around slowly dissipated, and the gourd gradually became heavier. Bai Chenxu put it away and dragged me into the cave.

By the dim light of the flashlight, we saw a messy hole.

It is not wrong to use the word "chaos" to describe it, because there are not only animal corpses and human bones on the ground, but also a lot of miscellaneous weeds, and there are bloodstains all around.

Both Bai Chenxu and I began to look serious, but this is our only chance to find the nineteenth male. If we don't enter the hole from this position, I'm afraid we won't even have the last chance.

While thinking about it, Bai Chenxu lowered his voice and said to me: "It seems to have sensed Master's soul."

I lowered my eyes slightly and saw the trembling little gourd in his pocket. It seemed to be pointing the way, which made my heart excited.

"Then why are we hesitating, let's start looking for it from this direction!"

As I said that, I realized that the direction turned out to be a large mountain wall with no road at all.

Bai Chenxu pondered for a moment, then murmured to me: "Don't worry, I think it might be a trick."

After all, he suddenly took something out of his hand and sprinkled it on the mountain wall. The mountain wall bubbled as if it had encountered strong acetic acid. Gradually, the mountain wall began to melt, and a brand new The opening of the hole appeared before our eyes.

I couldn't help getting excited. It seems that Bai Chenxu still has a way, but everything that caught our eyes didn't make us feel at ease.

The light of the flashlight came in from the entrance, and it was almost impossible to see the end. Bai Chenxu and I looked at each other, and then, without any hesitation, walked inside the hole that just appeared.

The further you walk, the more uncomfortable you feel, your breathing becomes shallower and lighter, and you feel dizzy.

"Oops, there seems to be a lack of oxygen in this hole!"

Bai Chenxu's words made a huge hole in my brain quickly, and my whole body began to become anxious.

Suddenly, due to lack of oxygen, I could no longer move forward, and stopped while supporting my heavy body.

The mountain wall is very slippery, and I can faintly feel some dampness. Bai Chenxu said to me: "The cave is so wet, there must be an underground drain in front, don't worry, it will be fine in a while."

I nodded and reluctantly followed Bai Chenxu forward, but the further I went, the more my mind went blank and my body began to wobble.

At this time, Bai Chenxu seemed to have thought of something, turned his head and took my hand, and said, "This is for you."

I looked down, and it turned out that Bai Chenxu stuffed a piece of candy into my hand.

I looked at him suspiciously, panting and asked, "What is this?"

"Candy that can restore physical strength, eat and see."

As he spoke, he sensed the direction indicated by the little gourd and walked forward.

I ate the sugar into my mouth, and the thick milky aroma slowly melted in my mouth. Strangely, my breathing became smoother suddenly, and even more strangely, I felt that the air became very sweet instead.

It seems that the lack of oxygen is probably due to the miasma. I thought about it, and my whole body relaxed a lot.

After walking not far, the field of vision suddenly widened, and the sound of gurgling water could be heard in his ears. Perhaps, what Bai Chenxu said was correct, but where is the soul of the nineteenth man?

We walked near the culvert, but Bai Chenxu suddenly stopped leaving.

At that moment, I froze for a moment, looked down, and realized that the gourd in his pocket was desperately pointing at the dark drain.

"How is this going?"

I was a little puzzled, but from Bai Chenxu's furrowed brows, it was obvious that this matter was not simple.

After contemplating for a moment, I took Bai Chenxu's hand and whispered to him, "Think about it, where does this culvert lead to?"

Bai Chenxu hesitated for a while, and after a while, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly he was shocked, and said in a low voice, "Lead to the outside of the cave."

"That's right, we can hear the sound of the stream, which means that the water is running water. However, it is impossible for this cave to be continuously filled with water without being discharged. The only possibility is that the water flows out of the cave."

After I finished speaking, I bent down slightly and used a flashlight to shine on the flowing water, but the water was not as clear as I imagined, but instead was cloudy and black, and there seemed to be a foul smell permeating the air.

Bai Chenxu took out the small gourd from his pocket and said to it, "Take us to find the soul of the master."

Unexpectedly, just after Bai Chenxu finished speaking, the little gourd jumped into the water with a plop.

We wanted to fish for it, but the gourd had already sunk.

Suddenly, the gourd opened a big hole in the canal, and the water flow formed a vortex. The next second, we took a deep breath and found that there was a hole in the canal!
"So it is!"

As Bai Chenxu said, he grabbed my waist and said to me: "Little Pepper, we are going to jump off now, do you dare?"

I have already come to this point, what else is there to dare, I put my heart on the line, and jumped into the broken vortex with Bai Chenxu.

The moment our feet hit the ground, the little gourd appeared out of nowhere and returned to Bai Chenxu's pocket.

Before we had time to look at everything around us, we faintly felt a strange wind whistling past our ears. I quickly took a deep breath, and the moment I turned around, I realized that there was a sudden appearance on the mountain wall behind me. A huge mural!
