Chapter 69: The Twenty-Eight Constellation [Zhenshui Worm]
"Uncle Qi, these things seeping out of the wall smell so bad! It seems like..."
In a crooked tomb passage, two young tomb-keepers used their scabbards to scrape up a bit of black-yellow mucus seeping out from the wall, put it to their noses and smelled it cautiously.
Next to him, Wang Yunfang frowned and said firmly:
"No need to guess, this is corpse oil!
The corpse oil that can cover the entire underground palace would probably require draining thousands of corpses to accumulate enough.
Those craftsmen who were beaten to pieces by the Ma family brothers and then melted away were probably the source of this corpse oil.
You all should be alert. Corpse oil naturally attracts evil spirits and is a necessity for many evil spells. Don't accidentally fall into it without knowing it."
Saying this, Wang Yunfang raised the tiger head knife in his hand and walked in front of his two nephews.
The [Improving and Killing Ghost Seal] on the blade clashed violently with the ubiquitous Yin Qi in the tomb, and lit up an unprecedented red light.
The two young men immediately followed, setting up a three-person battle formation from the "White Tiger's Art of War", carefully guarding every dark corner.
Ancient people divided the stars near the ecliptic in the sky into twenty-eight groups, which respectively represented the positions of the sun, moon and stars in the sky. They were called the "twenty-eight constellations" and were used as a reference for observing astronomical phenomena.
There are seven constellations in each of the four directions: east, south, west, and north: the blue dragon in the east, the red bird in the south, the white tiger in the west, and the black basalt in the north.
All the twenty-eight constellations revolve around the mid-heaven. The reason why Lang Qi asked everyone to go to the first constellation "Jingsu" to meet is because "Jingsu" is closest to the center of the circle.
One person was a "vigorous person" and the other two were "inner people strong". The three of them got separated from the others after moving into the underground palace, and could only continue to move forward along the crooked tomb passage.
Trying to reach "Jingsu" as quickly as possible.
But everything in the underground palace was completely different from the knowledge about tombs they had learned.
This majestic underground building complex seems to have been randomly spliced together by various tomb chambers, corridors, and statues by completely ignorant children.
Upside-down, sloping walls are just the norm, cornices are at the feet, thresholds are at the top of the head, the positions of doors and windows are interchanged... all the structures are contrary to common sense.
It can't help but give people a strong sense of confusion and disgust.
I doubt whether I am still standing safely on the ground.
Moreover, as they stayed here longer, the tomb became weirder.
One stick of incense and time passed.
Wherever you looked, whether it was under your feet, on the walls or on the top of the tomb, this disgusting corpse oil was gradually seeping out, and the air was filled with an increasingly strong corpse smell.
The original earth-stone-like tomb passage seems to have a bit more flesh.
They increasingly suspected that they were not actually in an underground palace, but in the intestines of some giant creature.
suddenly.
Snap!
"what sound?"
In the dead silence of the tomb passage, there were originally only the footsteps of the three of them, plus at most their inaudible breathing.
At this moment, a sound like raindrops falling to the ground suddenly sounded, causing them to subconsciously stick together back to back.
When the three of them heard the sound and looked over, they saw a big black and yellow insect on the ground, wriggling in the corpse oil.
Its body is longer than a finger, and its head has sharp, jagged mouthparts. It squirms while swallowing the foul-smelling corpse oil on the ground.
"vomit..."
Even though the tomb keeper was used to seeing corpses in various states on Beimang Mountain, he couldn't help but feel nauseated when he saw this insect.
"Get away!"
At this time, Wang Yunfang, who had reached the state of "regulating energy" and had the ability to "respond to any stimulus", suddenly shouted loudly and at the same time ducked towards the corner.
The other two young tomb-keepers were not so slow as to ask why, their bodies had already started to act instinctively.
But because of the difference in physical fitness, he was still a step late.
The next moment, a large number of ugly bugs similar to the one just shot out from above their heads, covering half of their bodies.
Two heart-rending screams immediately spread far and wide.
...
At this time, Wang Yuan was walking alone in the tomb passage.
It's just that an iron rod-like striped tiger tail swings from time to time behind his buttocks, and there are two tiger ears on the top of his head.
But in order to activate [Five Ghosts Moving Mountains], [Tiger Transformation Technique] could only be partially used.
There was a faint dark wind lingering around him, and every step he took would take several feet. Sometimes there was clearly a wall in front of him, but he would step directly over it.
Five green-skinned brats who were eager to show their faces in front of their lord were waiting attentively.
After recuperating for a day and a night, "Mr. One Eye Five" had fully recovered and used the magical power of "Five Ghosts to Move Mountains" to carry Wang Yuan and easily cross the wall and cross the house.
It's just that this tomb and underground palace is the closest place to the underworld, and they don't dare to move too far at once, for fear of accidentally throwing their own tiger into the underworld.
Originally, when the tomb was deformed, Tao Xianniang, who was standing next to him, wanted to hold him back.
To prevent "Cui Tong", who is getting married on his behalf tomorrow, from having an accident in this underground palace and making all previous efforts in vain.
But Wang Yuan's real purpose of going to the tomb this time cannot be mentioned to anyone, and the trump card of "Five Ghosts Moving Mountains" cannot be exposed to others.
Glancing at the walls, which became increasingly filthy as he got closer to the depths of the tomb, he frowned and then relaxed slightly:
"Although he is acting alone, at least three [weird] intelligence murder patterns have been gathered together, and the risks are still controllable.
When facing [Ji Shan], you must abide by various ancient etiquette and try to kill it politely.
When facing a [trial], you must abide by the law. The law stipulates that you cannot kill officials and rebel, but Wang Yunhu's "Usurring Handwriting" is suitable here.
No matter what happens, I can still activate [Ghost King's Altar Seal] and kill him head-on.
The last [Gong Zheng] is a bit tricky. Lang Qi said that this transformed tomb within a tomb is the Suzaku Bureau, and it can only move according to the trajectory of the stars.
But since it is an ancient tomb that is already equipped with formations, this underground palace should not only be able to transform, but also have various mechanisms and formations to guard the tomb.
And to me, the most terrifying thing about [Gongzheng] is not the killing rules, but its own warlock methods. Once the power of Nightmare Town is broken, you may not be able to defeat it head-on."
However, Wang Yuan's equipment is now also richer.
Wear the [Human Face Painted Skin] on your face, and the [talisman card·Fire Dragon Pan Sword] hang on your waist.
A piece of [Rakshasa Bone] was deliberately sent to the hands of "Shadowless Rat" Wen Juncai, and the second piece of [Rakshasa Bone] had been carefully wrapped in cloth and put in his pocket.
There are also a total of eighteen pills of [Hunyuan Pilizi] made from [Langxin Goufei Pills] and other medicinal residues.
It is strange to say that Wang Yuan has never seen an orthodox magic weapon until now, and all he has come into contact with are these weird and weird gadgets.
Although I haven't been able to use [Rakshasa Bones] to refine a [Hunyuan Thunderbolt] yet, I already have a lot of trump cards in my hand.
[Tiger Transformation Technique] is at the bottom of the box. As long as you are not a [Taoist General] or a [Red Seal Warlock], you can fight it.
[Spell Card·Fire Dragon Pan Sword] If it can eat a "Zhengjin", it can completely kill a [Taoist] by force. If it eats a [Taoist], it is possible to even hurt a [Taoist].
"The most important thing now is to quickly find someone to sacrifice the [Fire Dragon Pan Sword], otherwise it will just be a decoration if you encounter danger."
"Um?"
Suddenly, the tiger ears on Wang Yuan's head moved and he looked into the depths of a tomb passage that was twisted like an intestine.
There seemed to be faint screams coming from there.
Since we are in a [weird] body, even if there is only the faint light of the night pearl, [Kuan Bu Jing] can see everything as if it were light and fire.
Wang Yuan did not approach immediately, but stopped at the same spot for a while.
Immediately, he heard a rush of footsteps, approaching him quickly.
"It's him?"
He saw clearly that the person coming was none other than Wang Yunfang, a descendant of the Wang family who had begged him to go up the mountain for support on the night of the zombie uprising.
It's just that the tomb keeper was in a very bad condition at this time. He was covered in blood, and half of his body was covered in blood holes as thick as a thumb.
There were also disgusting bugs, whether maggots or tapeworms, crawling in and out, devouring his flesh and blood wantonly.
Behind them, there are two humanoid creatures that have completely turned into insect nests, and are merging with them and are chasing after them.
Seeing their terrifying and disgusting appearance, Wang Yuan couldn't help but shudder.
"Although among the twenty-eight constellations, the one that represents 'Zhen' is indeed called 'Zhen Shui Earthworm', but what does this have to do with maggots?"
"Mr. Cui! Save me!"
At this time, Wang Yunfang also saw "Cui Tong", but she shouted for help as if she was seeing a savior.
He rushed towards me without stopping.
I no longer care about it, and will attract those "water worms" too.
When Wang Yuan heard his plea for help, he was not vague at all.
collapse--!
The big tendons in his arms trembled like a strong bow, and a red light flew out.
Even if [Sword of Life Sacrifice] is not activated, the [Spell Card·Fire Dragon Pan Sword] as a [Trick] is stronger than any sword.
In the blink of an eye, it was inserted into Wang Yunfang's chest.
immediately.
Wang Yunhu's clan brother slowly lowered his head to look at the sword-shaped talisman that had broken his heart, and murmured to himself in disbelief:
Chapter completed!
