Weird past in the countryside

Chapter 52

Ning Xiaoyue was astonished: "You? Are you his uncle?"

Yu Ling'er poked her neck: "What? Isn't it like?"

Ning Xiaoyue looked at me suspiciously, and I silently nodded helplessly.I saw the dissatisfaction on Ning Xiaoyue's face.

I quickly smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, you guys know each other now, Xiaoyue, my uncle is here to save you, you have to thank her."

Ning Xiaoyue kept silent, but fortunately Yu Ling'er didn't care about it, she herself had no heart.Otherwise, I'm really worried that these two people don't like each other, and then I will have more things to do in the future.

I think that although Ning Xiaoyue has been hungry for a long time, she will not delay walking.The most urgent thing is to find Master as soon as possible.I led them to continue to touch the front, when Ning Xiaoyue suddenly said from behind: "I have matches."

I was overjoyed when I heard it, and turned around and said: "If you have a match, don't tell me earlier, take it out quickly."

Like a magic trick, Ning Xiaoyue took out a box of matches and even a candle.I've solved the big problem. The cave is so dark that it's hard to walk.

I said: "Okay, Xiaoyue, are you still carrying this thing? I didn't even think of it."

But Xiaoyue said that when she was leaving, Master asked her to take it with her, and both she and Master had it on her body.

After hearing this, I admire Master from the bottom of my heart. Sure enough, Jiang is still old and hot, and he is really thoughtful.Unlike me, Mao Mao was in a daze, and came out to find the master without any preparations. Knowing that Yu Ling'er didn't have much experience in this area, I should have thought about everything that should be prepared.

I lit the candle, and the cave immediately became much brighter. Under the dancing candlelight, I could basically see a distance of two or three meters around.

I looked up and found that this cave was similar to the one we explored last time, but the route was relatively simple, and I haven't found any other forks.And there is no such corpse oil candle on the wall, but I don't know if there are tomb rats.

The three of us groped forward by the light of this candle.

As I was walking, Ning Xiaoyue suddenly screamed. I was startled and looked back quickly.

It was found that Ning Xiaoyue's eyes were fixed on a corner of the cave, with a look of horror on her face.Since Yu Ling'er and I had been staring at the road ahead and didn't notice the situation next to us, we hurriedly looked towards the corner of the cave, and found that there seemed to be a figure, curled up together, half sitting on the ground, motionless.

My heart was beating irregularly, and I was almost out of breath from the tension.I stood there in a daze, not daring to step forward.I was very afraid that it was the master. If it was really the master who did not move, then something happened.

Yuling'er glanced at me, took the candle, walked over a few steps, knelt down and took a look at the black shadow, took a closer look, and said casually: "Dead." This made me even more afraid, It can be seen from the candlelight that it is indeed a corpse.

I tremblingly asked, "Is that my master?"

Yu Ling'er turned her head and said, "I don't know your master."

I thought about it too, I hurriedly pulled Ning Xiaoyue and walked over.Looking down, he breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't Master.

Yu Ling'er said: "It's a ghost corpse. It has been dealt with."

I took a closer look and found that it was indeed a ghost corpse. A hole had been dug out at the position of the heart, and the hole was full of dried black blood. It seemed that the heart had been dug out.

I said to myself, "Could it be that Master did this?"

Yu Ling'er shook her head: "It doesn't look like the Xuanming Sect's technique, but from the wound, it looks more like..."

Yu Ling'er hesitated to speak, Ning Xiaoyue and I asked at the same time: "What is it like?"

Yu Ling'er went on to say, "Like a zombie."

I was taken aback: "Zombies? How can there be zombies here?"

Yu Ling'er nodded and said, "Yes, and it seems to be a very high-level zombie."

I was surprised: "Zombies are divided into levels?"

Yu Ling'er gave me a sideways look, with disdain on her face: "Of course there are ranks."

I patted my head: "Ah, I remembered, Master and I saw a zombie once, it was the one in the blood coffin, and then ran away in Master's room, Master seemed to have mentioned some kind of soul .”

Yu Ling'er nodded and said, "That's it, this may be a spirit corpse, everyone should be careful."

"Spiritual corpse?" I heard the new term again, and I was very interested: "Then why don't you just tell me about zombies, we know a little more, so we can take precautions earlier."

Yu Ling'er stood up and pointed to the passage of the cave: "Let's hurry up, let's talk while walking, be careful on the way. I suspect that the brother may have passed here as well."

We held the candles and continued to look forward in the passage.At the same time, I heard Yu Linger tell us about zombies.

Yu Ling'er said: "The ghost corpse refined by Xiaosan should actually be regarded as a kind of zombie, but it is refined, so it is the lowest level of zombies, and it is relatively easy to deal with them."

I can't help but think of the few encounters I've had with ghosts, as if we've all suffered a lot, but I didn't expect this to be an easy one to deal with.

Yu Ling'er went on to say: "Zombies are generally formed after a long time, at least a hundred years or more, and the soul has not escaped from the body after death. Generally speaking, the longer the time, the higher the level of the zombie. Of course, there are exceptions. , This has something to do with the feng shui, yin and yang of the tomb where the zombie is, and the person himself before the zombie died. Above the ghost corpse, it is a walking corpse. The walking corpse is actually a walking corpse, and the threat is greater than the ghost corpse. But their legs can’t be bent, they can only jump and walk. For the more powerful walking corpses, the jumping speed will definitely exceed the running speed of humans. Once they meet, they will not be able to run away.”

It sounds like a story to me, and I feel more and more that there are really many mysteries in it.

Yuling'er continued: "One level higher than walking corpses is called Yin Corpse. It is because the feng shui of the tomb is extremely cloudy, he absorbed a lot of Yin Qi from the surroundings, and accumulated over time, forming a Yin Corpse. The body of the Yin Corpse is extremely cold from top to bottom. , and it is highly poisonous. Even the gas he exhales will make you unconscious."

I noticed that Ning Xiaoyue was also listening intently, her face was no longer dissatisfied, but a little more adored, probably because she was also impressed by Yu Ling'er's insight.

Yu Ling'er looked back and saw that we were listening carefully, smiled with satisfaction, and continued: "The next level is called a blood corpse, also called a vampire zombie. He can suck blood. The blood in his body is also dark red. It is close to the blood color of people and animals."

I shivered a bit and sighed, "It sounds amazing."

Yu Ling'er smiled: "Actually, the above types are all low-level zombies. They have one thing in common, that is, they have no thinking, let alone memory, and their actions are completely irregular, and all their actions are subconscious. So Only Xiao San can use insanity to control ghosts like Qiao Er."

I became more and more curious: "What about one level higher?"

Yu Ling'er said: "At a higher level, it is a spirit corpse, the one you have seen before. He has a soul. Once this soul merges with him, he will have certain memories and will With a simple mind, he was able to control his actions."

I suddenly realized, and muttered: "So that zombie is a spirit corpse."

Yu Ling'er nodded and said: "It should be, and the highest level is the corpse king. The corpse king will have more thoughts and actions with a certain purpose. It is very rare to become a corpse king, and many conditions are required. Matching, one is indispensable, even my master has never seen the corpse king. And all the zombies are very distinct in level, when zombies of the next level meet those of a higher level, they often dare not face each other, even if they feel a little Any scent or trace of the other party will cause them to flee. You said that Qiao Er was suddenly scared away that day, and I guess there must be a zombie of a much higher level than him, at least above the level of blood corpses."

I thought about it, and said with certainty: "That must be the spirit corpse that escaped, and this is the only one we have come into contact with."

Yu Ling'er also said: "Well, I think it's the same. I guess the brother also guessed like this, so I came here to search for clues."

While talking, Yu Ling'er suddenly stopped, pointed to the front and said, "Another one."

We looked ahead, and sure enough, we found another fallen ghost corpse on the side of the passage.After a closer look, I found that it was exactly the same as the one just now, with the chest ripped open.

I wondered: "Didn't you say that ghost corpses would flee when they sensed the breath of spirit corpses? How could they be attacked by spirit corpses?"

Yu Ling'er said: "It's also possible that the underground is closed, so it's not so easy to detect, and once you encounter it, you won't be able to escape if you try to escape."

I couldn't help admiring: "Little uncle, listening to your words is really better than reading ten years of books."

Yu Ling'er shook her head proudly: "That's right, from now on, you can hang out with my uncle and me. Based on our relationship, I promise to teach you well."

I nodded: "That's that. Ah..." I felt Ning Xiaoyue who was behind me pinch my waist hard. It hurt so badly that I let out a scream.

Hearing the sound, Yu Ling'er turned around abruptly, as if facing a formidable enemy: "What's wrong?"

I quickly said: "It's okay, I accidentally bumped my arm against the wall."

Yuling'er breathed a sigh of relief: "He's such a big man, yet he still walks so carelessly. And shouting so loudly?" After speaking, she turned and continued walking.

I heard Ning Xiaoyue behind me sneer, and I secretly groaned in my heart.

We walked a long way and found that there were no other clues except those two ghost corpses.Master also left no trace.

We stopped, gathered together, and wanted to discuss the next step. After all, we don’t know when there will be an exit, so it’s not an option to move forward so recklessly.

We squatted down, and when I opened my mouth to speak, Yuling'er suddenly covered my mouth with her hand, and said in a low voice, "Shhhhhhhhh, listen!"
