Chapter 301 The corpse is strange
In fact, there is no need for Chen Ziyan to remind them. Soon they will also notice the changes in the sky.
Because with the changes in the arc across the sky, the originally dark environment has become brighter.
Wang Kaixuan heard the clouds and mountains surrounding the fog, and asked slightly nervously: "Master Chen, Lao Hu, what do you think this tribulation is about?"
This word is his. I’ve heard it too, but just because I’ve heard it, I’m nervous.
To know what level of beings are worthy of such a word, it is simply unimaginable on ordinary days.
“The so-called tribulation can be regarded as a special test, and it is not as mysterious as in the novel.” Chen Ziyan explained.
He knew very well that this tribulation was not the other tribulation, and it was not the same thing as the tribulation in those mythical stories.
Ding Sitian asked in confusion: "What's going on with the Corpse Immortal?"
Compared with crossing the tribulation, she valued this point more. After all, Chinese people always have a negative attitude towards immortals. Demons and ghosts have a kind of visceral awe.
"In layman's terms, you can think of corpse immortals as corpses that have regenerated wisdom. However, corpse immortals need the assistance of strange objects to develop, so this kind of wisdom is also flawed, but it is better than just relying on it. Other zombies that act by instinct or simple intelligence are much stronger."
Chen Ziyan briefly explained what he knew, and then said:
"But it is precisely for this reason that the corpse immortal is. The world cannot tolerate it, and you must go through many tribulations if you want to be born."
When Chen Ziyan said this, a look of thought flashed in his eyes.
He seriously doubted that this so-called disaster was not only caused by the thunder gathering in the sky, but also probably included them.
Although there is not much information about this aspect in the Xiling inheritance, it has always been difficult for disasters to break away from the framework of heaven, earth and people.
At this moment, there is lightning and thunder in the sky, and there is no doubt that a natural disaster is brewing, but their appearance may not eliminate the possibility of human disaster. After all, it is normal for things in this world to be unpredictable.
"Strange object? What is it?" Shirley Yang keenly captured the key point of Chen Ziyan's words.
"The category of this strange object is very broad, but what I know is mostly some special plants." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said.
Actually, he doesn’t know much. Apart from the specious rumors in the inheritance, he only has some memories from his previous life.
Just like the King of Wuyang in the land of Bashu, according to what he knew, the path that King Wuyang wanted to take was also the same. It was a pity that his arrangement was later destroyed by Feng Shigu.
As for Feng Shigu, who borrowed the layout of King Wuyang and then built Dixian Village, in Chen Ziyan's opinion, it was purely a copycat.
It is true that he is a master in the field of tomb robbing, but in the end he failed to master the ancient secret skills. Even if he fully accepted the arrangements of King Wuyang, he was determined not to become a Corpse Immortal.
"Plant? Why didn't you see it?" Wang Kaixuan heard this and looked curiously into the jade coffin.
Although the others did not make a sound, their actions were surprisingly similar. They all looked into the jade coffin.
Even Hu Bayi, who knew more, heard the secret behind the corpse immortal for the first time, so he was very curious about what kind of plant could create such an existence with the word "immortal".
Looking carefully, they really saw some clues. Shirley Yang pointed at the back of the old man's body and said, "Look behind the body, is there anything?"
Hu Bayi also said: "You can tell by looking at the coffin wall that this thickness is definitely not what a corpse can reach, even if it is fat."
He focused on jade. The wall of the coffin, trying to infer something from this.
After all, this corpse has a translucent film. Except for the face, which is still clear, other parts are blurry, making it difficult to see clearly what's going on inside.
Wang Kaixuan looked at it for a while, and after finding nothing, he simply said: "How about we remove the film? What can we see?"
If Chen Ziyan hadn't just said that this might be What kind of corpse immortal? His fat man had already carried the guy there.
Hu Bayi was a little moved, looked at Chen Ziyan and asked: "Mr. Chen, what do you think? Will it be okay if you open this crystal film?"
His question was naturally incomplete. It was because of Wang Kaixuan's words that he didn't want to continue watching like this.
Who knows if this corpse that has been prepared for thousands of years will survive the disaster and transform into a corpse immortal. Anyway, he doesn't want to face it at all.
It would be better to cause damage now. It would be better if it can directly mess up the matter.
However, Hu Bayi didn't know much about this aspect and didn't dare to take action rashly, so he asked Chen Ziyan like this.
After Chen Ziyan thought about it seriously, he nodded: "You can try it. It's better to try it than to sit back and wait for death."
He also thought of this, and now this development has obviously surpassed him It is expected that even if you do something, it will not be worse.
And according to what he knew, sabotage at this time should only benefit them and not harm them. The only thing they need to pay attention to is the backlash of the unique plants in this corpse. Just don't follow Feng Shigu's old path. .
"Yes! As long as you say this, Mr. Chen, look at me, Mr. Fatty." When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he immediately wanted to step forward.
However, Chen Ziyan stopped him as usual, with puppet armor at his side. There was no need for them to take action in such a thing.
After stopping Wang Kaixuan, Chen Ziyan did not explain much to him, but gave instructions directly to Huahu.
In order to prevent Hua Hu from being infected, Chen Ziyan specially asked him to wear protective equipment.
The heavily armed Huahu had no fear at all. After getting ready, he walked up to the corpse with a dagger.
Without any hesitation, he directly cut the crystal film with a sharp blade.
When Huahu's knife fell, the corpse wrapped inside was completely exposed.
At this moment, everyone can really see the whole body of the corpse. The face is the same as what they saw just now, but they can see it more clearly. What really attracts attention is the part of the body that was difficult to see clearly before.
This corpse was naked from top to bottom. It couldn’t be described as lifelike, it could even be said to be ‘fresh’.
What is shocking is that underneath the corpse, there is a skinless python. It can be clearly seen that the skinless python is fused with the corpse.
There are countless red flesh lines growing on the body of the python and the parts where the python is connected to the body. Especially the python shakes from time to time, as if it is still alive. Just looking at it makes people feel numb. .
"What the hell is this? Why does it look so penetrating." Wang Kaixuan, who was eager to try before, now doesn't want to get close at all.
"This should also be the product of the evil technique." Hu Bayi expressed his guess.
“Look next to him.” Ding Sitian reminded him. Hearing this, everyone turned their attention away from the corpse and saw several items placed next to the corpse.
The top one is a gold mask. This mask seems to be used in sacrificial rituals. It has a very weird shape. It has dragon horns on the top, a tiger's mouth shape at the mouth and nose, and the ears are shaped like fish tails. At a glance, it gives people a ferocious look. A sinister feeling.
But the most shocking thing is the pattern of this mask. The circles of swirling patterns look like eyeballs, which easily reminds them of what they saw in the ancient city of Jingjue. those reliefs.
Seeing these familiar patterns, Shirley Yang said excitedly: "It seems there are really clues to the Muchen Bead here!"
She almost looked at the golden mask. The moment she saw the tattoo, she had already confirmed this.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were also very happy, and the hard work of eating and drinking along the way was not in vain.
Then they continued to look at it. Under the mask was a short dragon-tiger staff. It seemed to be made of blue jade. It was about the same length as an ordinary people's rolling pin, but it was slightly curved.
This short staff has a dragon head on one end and a tiger head on the other. The point where the two meet is the handle in the center.
This dragon-tiger short staff has a simple shape and exudes a powerful and heavy feeling.
The following items are also jade, but they are not as eye-catching as the previous two, but they are also rare treasures in the world.
Wang Kaixuan almost drooled when he saw these burial objects. After Huahu took them out of the coffin, he immediately took them carefully.
After wiping it clean, it was immediately put into a deerskin bag that was moisture-proof and air-proof.
When others reacted, this guy was stuffing things into his backpack.
Hu Bayi quickly went up to stop him: "Why are you so anxious, fat man? You have to show it to everyone, and your backpack is not as safe as Mr. Chen!"
"I I really forgot about this, it would be more appropriate to leave it with Mr. Chen."
After being reminded like this, Wang Kaixuan immediately responded. He really didn't give these things to Chen Ziyan. Keep safe.
Chen Ziyan did not refuse and immediately took the things. In fact, he was not sure about letting Wang Kaixuan hold them.
It's not that he is worried about Wang Kaixuan, but he is worried about Wang Kaixuan's backpack. Remember in the original plot, Hu Bayi and the others seemed to have lost most of their loot because of this.
After giving everything to Chen Ziyan, Wang Kaixuan turned his attention to the jade coffin and said regretfully: "This jade coffin is also a good thing. It will definitely be worth a lot of money if you take it back."
He has always believed that thieves never leave empty-handed, so he doesn’t want to leave this seemingly valuable jade coffin here.
Hu Bayi said: "We definitely can't take this thing with us now. We can only find a way to cover it up when we leave, and then bring someone over to transport it away after we return."
This kind of jade coffin made from a whole piece of jade is most valuable only when it is whole. If it is divided for taking away, the value will definitely be greatly reduced.
Wang Kaixuan also understood this truth and nodded regretfully: "That's the only way it can be."
Although he is greedy for money, he can still distinguish what is important and what is important. What's more, you haven't even entered the gate of King Xian's Tomb now. You may encounter many good things later, but you can't ignore this jade coffin that is not easy to carry.
Chen Ziyan said: "Just leave this jade coffin to the Crescent Hotel for disposal. We don't need to worry too much about it. We can just make a conspicuous mark when we leave."
< br>He had no intention of taking this thing away at all, so he said it casually.
And since an agreement has been reached, they must set an example. They will still receive the money anyway.
"You should study this later, let's take a look at the body first." While the three people were discussing, Ding Sitian's voice suddenly sounded.
Chen Ziyan and the others looked at the corpse in the jade coffin after hearing this. The corpse was still the same as before, but the skinless python was shaking non-stop at the moment, as if it would explode at any time.
As the skinless python moved, they saw countless red flesh lines growing on the python's body, and more than half of them were connected to the bottom of the jade coffin beneath it.
Although the principle of this could not be seen for a short time, the scene that appeared in front of them at this time let everyone know that something was definitely going to happen.
After seeing this scene, everyone noticed that the top and four walls of the jade coffin were made of Tibetan heaven jade, but the bottom was actually made of a piece of paulownia wood.
The dense red flesh threads now passed through the bottom of the coffin made of paulownia wood and were directly connected to the inside of the couple's banyan tree.
The corpse, the python, the jade coffin, and the old tree were connected together by the red flesh thread growing from the corpse at this moment.
At this moment, Shirley Yang seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said: "The skinless python in the jade coffin should be a python!"
"Just now The giant blue-scaled python we encountered!" Hu Bayi immediately followed.
Although there are some differences in the size of the two, and even the skinless giant python is much smaller now, they look very similar in other aspects.
Ding Sitian also said: "Yes, this should be the same species as the green-scaled python just now."
She is more proficient in this aspect than Hu Bayi, so in After being reminded, the accurate answer was immediately obtained.
"What's going on with those red flesh lines? Is it a kind of evil technique?" Wang Kaixuan asked as he looked at the more and more red flesh lines.
At this moment he felt that this was the key to the problem.
Chen Ziyan said: "This red flesh line should be a plant, or more accurately a fungus, but this is just my personal guess, and further verification is needed."
Of course, He didn't say anything to death, after all, who knew what was going on.
You must know that to the naked eye, this red flesh line looks more like a living thing, not a fungus, and even less like a plant.
A few people did not expect Chen Ziyan to give such an answer, and they all looked at the red flesh line with curiosity.
Wang Kaixuan, in particular, had he not been wary of this thing, he would have gone over to take a closer look.
After taking a closer look, Hu Bayi suddenly thought of what Chen Ziyan had just said, and asked: "Mr. Chen, I remember just now saying that the main cause of the corpse immortal is a special and unique plant. Could it be that this is what I said? Right?”
I can’t help but think so, because it’s such a coincidence.
In other words, this is not a combination, but it is the fact.
