Chapter 50
What is this man doing looking at him like that?
Did he say something wrong just now?
Jing Cen looked puzzled, Ji Hui coughed lightly, his eyes twitched, and then he said:
"I was confused by the phantom of the bone bird just now. I haven't reached the ancestral land of the Xie family yet. Let's go a little further."
His words finally diverted Jiang Yuhan's attention.
Jing Cen thought that Jiang Yuhan couldn't hear him, so he frowned and was about to explain, but the man turned his head and walked forward.
Jing Cen: ...
Where did I offend him?
He was really puzzled, and his face sank at this moment.
"I really don't know how that white lotus named Ji Hui subdued him."
"I'm really a bit convinced by that Ji Hui method."
Jiang Yuhan is simply flawed, apart from having a good-looking face, it is extremely difficult to get.
Jing Cen's face was ugly.
Ji Hui: ...
Hiss, well done, what are you trying to do with him?
He was originally going to take care of the poor and innocent Jing Cen.At this time, he frowned, and didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around and left.
Jing Cen waited for a long time but no one answered him.Just as he was wondering, he saw that Jiang Yuhan's figure in front of him had disappeared.
Behind Ling didn't answer, so Jing Cen had no choice but to follow.It's just that he walked all the way and always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something just now.
Worried that Jiang Yuhan's suspicion of the spirit behind him disappeared in a flash, and at this time he was completely forgotten during the dazed rush.
After the three of them came out of the deserted city, they walked for a while and found a place that was inhabited.
Different from the previous desolation, when they just found the place with footprints, they noticed a formation at this time.This formation looks like it came from Taoism, and it is used to distinguish whether it is one's own or the enemy.
Ji Hui glanced lightly, then looked at Jiang Yuhan.
Jiang Yuhan knew that he was too lazy to move his hands just after fighting with the bone bird, so he stepped forward and untied the formation.
He also knew Ji Huihui's formation, and the moment he saw that formation, the corresponding solution appeared in his mind.
Jiang Yuhan stepped forward, and after settling in the southwest direction, he continued to move forward.
The formation in front of him was unpredictable, but in his eyes, it seemed that there was no cover. The last step fell on the Shengmen, and the entire formation collapsed.
Before a few people could react, they heard voices beside their ears.
"How many people are from the Taoist sect?"
"Forgive us for not being able to welcome us far away. The Xie family is now in a crisis."
"We had to hide for a while."
The voice came from the machine next to his ear, Ji Hui looked down and saw the wooden doll in front of him.
It is a kind of organ technique.
With the soul in the wood, the mechanism doll has autonomy, after conveying the meaning of the patriarch of the Xie clan.
The puppet doll said: "Do you have any tokens?"
A token?
Ji Hui raised his eyebrows.
"No."
It seemed that Li Gui in front of him was so straightforward that he could see the non-human puppet choke.After a while, he stumbled and said, "Then do you have anything to prove your identity? I can convey it for you."
Ji turned his head to look at Jing Cen.
Jing Cen: ...
"I'm his roommate?"
roommate?
The puppet seemed a little ignorant, but it still truthfully passed the message back.
After a while, its stiff body turned around.Not knowing what he received, he nodded slightly.Only then did he speak: "Okay, it has been confirmed who you are inside."
"Please come with me."
The puppet led the way to the front, and Ji Hui wanted to grab the puppet and study the mechanism with itchy hands, but he held back after tapping it lightly.
He thought his actions were very secretive, but he didn't expect Jiang Yuhan to see them all.After the puppet came to the front, Jiang Yuhan turned his head away.
"Next time I will make one for your research."
Ji Hui: ...
Cough, why is this person so sharp.
He withdrew his hand expressionlessly, and walked out of the formation with the little puppet in front who didn't know the danger was coming.Passing through the formation, the little puppet led them to a hidden mechanism with twists and turns.
He jumped up lightly to open the mechanism, and after a while, there was a rumbling sound.The stone gate originally hidden in the mountains opened a gap.
As the puppet moved, the gap became wider and wider, gradually turning into a door.
"They are hiding in the secret passage now."
The secret path is hidden... It seems that there are other dangers here besides the bone bird.
Ji Hui was not surprised, and walked into the crack of the stone with the puppet.
But even though the puppet was sent by the Xie family, and the bone bird attacked and killed it first, he still had a little care.At this time, although the surface is casual, but always vigilant.
Until the bone bird brought them to the door, the familiar popularity came from the front.Ji Hui raised his eyes and saw several humans in Taoist robes waiting at the door.
The little puppet saluted and stood back.
Standing at the door waiting for them was the contemporary patriarch of the Xie family. After seeing the two young people who came in, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Are you Xie Cong's friends?"
Jiang Yuhan didn't speak, Jing Cen could only nod upon seeing this.
"We are entrusted by Xuanmen Elder Chen to find you."
Hearing the entrustment from Xuanmen Elder Chen, the head of the Xie family heaved a sigh of relief.
"I see."
"It should be that our disappearance was noticed by the outside world."
"Please run away."
"But I'm afraid this matter is not so easy to solve."
The patriarch of the Xie clan glanced at Jiang Yuhan and Jing Cen, and frowned slightly.Some wondered why Elder Chen only sent two people to rescue.
Since they haven't shown up for so long, they know that this time is not a small matter. Elder Chen should not be the one who makes mistakes in judgment.
Just when he was wondering, the puppet stepped forward and suddenly whispered a few words in his ear.
The patriarch of the Xie clan finally understood.
ghosts.
It turned out that there was an existence above ghosts beside these two people.
Elder Xie looked between the two of them, and then withdrew his gaze.
"Everyone come in first."
Jing Cen waited for the permission of the spirit behind him, and after hearing him say that there was no problem, he followed the patriarch of the Xie clan in.They hid in Xie's ancestral land after the accident, and haven't gone out for many days.
After Ji Hui followed the patriarch in, he saw the injured people around him.The faces of the people around the fire were pale, and they all looked seriously injured.
They walked all the way, but they didn't see Xie Cong's figure.
"Where is Xie Cong?"
Hearing Ling Ling's words behind him, Jing Cen also reacted.
He frowned and asked, and the Xie Clan Chief smiled wryly.
"You will know when you come here."
"He's not doing well right now."
He was still unwilling to explain Xie Cong's matter at this time, Ji Hui knew it was not easy.They didn't see Xie Cong until they got to the innermost place, behind a stone cave.
Xie Cong was half leaning against the cave, and was in a coma at this time.
"Is he injured?" Jing Cen asked.
The patriarch of the Xie clan shook his head and told the story of the day.
The Xuanmen Xie Clan has the habit of organizing disciples to compete. After Xie Cong won that day, he should have gone to the Xie Cong Clan Tomb to obtain the spiritual power left by the ancestors in the Clan Tomb.
However, an accident occurred when he was absorbed in the clan mound.
"The spiritual breath in the family tomb has been infected."
"When I don't know when, the entire family mound was infected, but we didn't find it."
"We didn't think it was wrong until Xie Cong went crazy."
"After opening the family tomb, I found that the corpses of the ancestors were all mutated."
The mutation of the ancestor's corpse... This is a huge blow to the Taoism that pays attention to inheritance.
Ji Hui frowned:
"I ask you to hide here because of the mutation of the clan tomb?"
The patriarch of the Xie clan nodded.
"Those mutated corpses are physically strong and invulnerable."
"Some are like zombies, but their strength is even better than that of zombies. Some corpses have even reached the level of flying dead."
Although the Xie family has been passed down for a long time, they are all mortals after all. They were rushed and unprepared, and were attacked by mutations in the family tomb, causing heavy losses.
We can only temporarily activate the mechanism and hide in the ground first, but there is no information in the ground, and there is not enough food storage, so it is not a long-term solution.
He told the ins and outs of the future, Ji Hui raised his eyebrows.
"So you don't know there's a bone bird out there?"
"What bone bird?" Patriarch Xie was taken aback for a moment.
Ji Hui lightly talked about the bone bird creating an illusion outside and setting up an ambush.
The face of the patriarch of the Xie clan changed a little.
"I thought those zombies were tough enough, but I didn't expect there were bone birds."
As soon as he finished his embarrassment, Ji Hui said lightly: "Don't worry, the bone bird is dead."
"However, it is now completely confirmed that the Xie family is a trap prepared for us by the abyss."
And the lure...these people in the tunnel.
There was a little interest in Ji Hui's eyes.
"It seems that he is not so sure that he can keep us."
Not only bone birds are set up, but also zombies...
Hearing his words, the patriarch of the Xie clan was stunned for a moment before he could react.But then he remembered something and said, "You guys better stay away from Xie Cong."
"If he still degenerates tonight, we are going to temporarily lock him up with a formation."
Xie Cong was severely eroded by the family mound, but he had a strong resistance, and he was barely able to control himself in the past two days.But in the future... even he can't guarantee it.
His face was ugly, and even Jing Cen was a little worried.
But Ji Hui is full of interest.
"The living become stiff?"
"I haven't seen it yet."
"I'll see how crazy he is."
Patriarch of the Xie Clan: ...
Jing Cen: ...
How did he hear a taste of gloating?
He looked at the patriarch of the Xie clan stiffly, hoping that he would not care about what the spirit behind him said.However, it seemed that because he knew Ji Hui's temper, the patriarch of the Xie clan just shook his head.
"It's okay, just take a look if you are interested."
"I'm just reminding you."
After his words fell, there seemed to be some problems with the injured person in front, and someone came over anxiously.The patriarch of the Xie clan had no choice but to look over there first.
There were only two people and a ghost left in the cave.
Ji Hui looked at Xie Cong who was still being infected, and smiled: "You all go back and rest for a while."
"I'll study it."
Jing Cen thought he was just taking Jiang Yuhan with him when he was talking, so he turned his head away.
"Shall we rest for a while?" He asked tentatively.
Jiang Yuhan looked calm, seeing that Ji Hui was indeed interested in the zombie infestation from the clan tomb, he took a step back and leaned against the stone over there.
After walking for a day and a night, normal people should be exhausted by now.When Jiang Yuhan was leaning against the stone, the patriarch of the Xie clan who walked over there to deal with things remembered something.He asked the elders around him to bring some food and water to Jiang Yuhan and the others. Jiang Yuhan took the water and thanked him.
The relatively safe place for the time being made Jing Cen slightly relaxed. He raised his head and took a sip of water, took off his hat, already exhausted.
In the dark tunnel, there was only a fire in front, and from where they were resting, they could vaguely see the injured people in front, Jing Cen just took a look, and his heart sank.
Even Xie's disciples who specialized in metaphysics were injured by those zombies.
Will they really be able to successfully go out together?
No matter how naive Jing Cen was, he knew that when they came in, they were able to find this place successfully. It was because of Abyss who wanted them to come in.
The ghost probably thought that after they came in, they would never be able to get out again.Now I don't know what's going on outside?
In the stone wall with good sound insulation, you can't hear the outside sound, and you don't even know if it's raining.
Jing Cen leaned against the stone wall and took the time to rest.
On the other side, Jiang Yuhan turned his eyes to the cave.He turned his eyes slightly, and saw Ji Hui taking a drop of blood from Xie Kui's fingertip to study.
It may be because of being infected by zombies, the blood on Xie Kui's fingertips is between red and black, even more black.
The black blood had a slightly ominous smell, Ji Hui tried to analyze it, but it didn't work.
It was only recognized that this thing should come from the blood of a zombie king.
Now there is no such thing as a zombie king in the world.
How did the abyss have the blood of the zombie king?
Ji Hui was slightly puzzled, and when he looked at Xie Cong, his gaze became deeper.
……
I don't know how long it has been like this, Xie Cong only felt as if his whole body fell into the ice, and his bones were so cold.His body was heavy, his thoughts were stagnant, and he couldn't distinguish anything from the chaos in his head. He only felt that his blood and humanity seemed to be frozen by that piece of ice.
In the icy cold, his body became more and more stiff, as if some kind of instruction appeared in his mind.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and the bloodshot eyes in the turbidity turned to red.
Those are not like human eyes anymore, but completely like the eyes of beasts.
Xie Cong's five fingers became claws, and he firmly grasped the ground in front of him, with black lines appearing on the back of his hand.The hand, which was as flesh and blood as a human being, has become stiff.
Xie Cong's vision became clearer, and he only felt a crazy smell of blood lingering nearby. He opened his eyes and roared, the tight string in his mind was finally broken.
Ji Hui was standing next to him, of course he saw clearly all the changes since Xie Cong woke up, seeing the Heavenly Master, who used to be very vigilant in the past, become what he is now, Ji Hui's eyes flashed with surprise.
Xie Cong could no longer restrain his instincts, his sanity was on the verge of collapsing, and the infection of zombies made him desperately long for blood.
He roared and looked at the two people beside the stone wall with red eyes, and just about to rush over, who knew, a hand fell on his shoulder.
"Want to bite?"
Ji Huirao was interested.
Xie Kui's eyes were in chaos and he couldn't see anything, but he heard someone talking in his ear, one by one.
A familiar voice echoed in my mind.
He vaguely realized that the person he was talking to knew him, and his blood-red eyes turned to look at the clearing where the sound came from, but the clearing was empty.
Ji Hui arranged a formation at random, before Xie Cong could react.As soon as he took a step forward, he was blocked by the railing in front of him.
A tingling sensation came from the place of contact, Xie Cong opened his eyes wide.
Finally woke up in excruciating pain.
"Behind the spirit?" He suddenly made a hoarse voice.
"Congratulations, you haven't forgotten me." Ji Hui's tone was light.
Xie Cong felt a sharp pain in his forehead, and turned his head to look around.
"What's wrong with me?"
While strengthening the formation, Ji Hui said, "You were infected with those corpses in the clan mound."
"It should be... zombified now." He paused, but said it anyway.
Ji Hui doesn't think it's a good thing to cheat Xie Cong. If he wants to recover, he has to resist by himself.
Sure enough, Xie Cong frowned after his words.He looked down at himself and realized something was wrong.His forehead was twitching, and he was in a complicated mood, never thinking that one day he would become the thing he hated the most.
Ji Hui admired the change of expression on Xie Cong's face for a while, and after his pale zombie lines faded slightly, he said, "Don't worry, it's only temporary."
"It's not impossible to get rid of it."
Gee.
If other people were infected with zombie blood like Xie Cong, they would have been completely reduced to beasts by this time.But should it be said that Xie Cong deserves to be the protagonist of this book?
The luck is really deep.
He just artificially intervened to trap the opponent with a formation.Xie Cong's sanity was able to recover when he was hurt.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and thought of a way.
"Would you like to bleed?"
bloodletting?
Xie Cong held back his fangs and understood what this ghost meant.
"There may be no way to completely remove it."
Bloodletting can only exchange for his temporary sobriety, and it is still impossible to eradicate him.
Of course Ji Hui knew, but he also wanted to do research based on bloodletting.
After Xie Cong agreed, he reached out and handed the things to Xie Cong.
Xie Cong watched the item suddenly appear as usual, and his blood-red eyes moved over.However, when he received the cursed knife, he paused, and suddenly saw a slender and beautiful hand.
Those hands were leisurely holding the curse knife, and the joints of the wrists were still exposed.
Xie Cong is very familiar with this hand, and at a glance he remembered the pair of hands that performed the surgery that he saw in the video of the hometown.
This is... the hand of the spirit behind it?
He pondered for a moment in his mind.
Because I started to look like a zombie, my thinking also became a little slow.
Ji Hui was a little surprised when he saw that he suddenly stopped halfway through the answer.
"what happened?"
Shouldn't he be sick again?
He glanced at the formation beside him.
Xie Cong felt a pain in his forehead and came back to his senses.
"It's nothing." He took the curse knife with his pale fingers, and when he saw the hand behind the spirit, he felt strangely that compared to that ghost, he looked more like a different kind now.
Xie Cong's fingertips trembled, watching the hand disappear beside him.
There was some silence in the air, Ji Hui looked at Xie Cong, and saw that his frown cut through the most zombified place.
Black dirty blood flowed out slowly, and Xie Cong's uncontrollable fangs came out again.
His incomparable self-loathing, the disgust in his eyes was about to overflow.If possible, Xie Cong even wanted to cut off the arm directly.
Ji Hui: ...
As for?
Isn't it just a temporary zombification?
Is this person so discriminated against by ghosts?
He looked at Xie Cong's self-loathing appearance, worried that he would kill himself.At this moment, he paused, and said trouble in his heart, but he still tapped the formation suddenly.
Xie Cong suddenly recovered from the disgust, and saw that hand appeared in front of his eyes again, and a lazy voice rang in his ears.
"Gauze, go on."
Ji Hui didn't want to see any bloody incidents, Xie Cong was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly recovered from his demonic emotions, his blood red eyes faded slightly.
Xie Cong tightened his hand and took the piece of gauze.
"Thank you."
A slightly hoarse voice sounded, Ji Hui was relieved to see him awake.
But Xie Cong was in a complicated mood, he didn't expect that it would be the ghost that woke him up.
He was deeply immersed in the disgust of alienation, but it was a ghost that woke him up.There was a slight strangeness in my heart, thinking of my vigilance and temptation to this ghost in the past.
Xie Cong restrained his emotions, his expression was inexplicable.
Ji Hui didn't know his complicated emotions, so he just said indifferently at this moment: "Don't get me wrong."
"I just don't want the abyss to succeed."
Xie Cong was about to say something when Jiang Yuhan, who was resting aside, suddenly stood up.
