There were little fluorescent lights flashing in the dim cave, and faint blue crystals covered the ground, stone walls, and dome. Ye Xuici sat beside a smooth stone table, with his right elbow resting on the table, his whole body in a state of
She can be considered relaxed. But her solemn expression shows that she is hiding something on her mind. This is rare. When people from Death Shadow Pavilion used to see her, her expression and movements were always so brisk.
It seems that this has been the case since she met someone.
A little girl poured a cup of unknown drink next to her, which was filled with unnatural fluorescence. Tiny bubbles kept rising from the bottom of the cup. After the bubbles exploded, there was a faint light lingering above the water. It should be a very
Nice decoration, but not suitable as a thirst quencher.
"Ruan Xiang, have you been in the Death Shadow Pavilion lately?"
"No, it just so happens that you are here today and I am here." The little girl said, "On weekdays, I am in shopkeeper Wu's shop looking after the shop. Today it is closed for rest, so we came here. The master of the pavilion seems to want to ask him to do something."
"Oh...it's over there at the corpse pool, right?"
"It seems so." Ruan Xiang bowed slightly and said, "I will take my leave now. It seems that Senior She has something to say to the Pavilion Master. He will be delayed for a while. Please be patient."
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."
Ye Xuici was not in a hurry, and She Ji did have something to say to Gao Yuejun. Wu Yin finished talking to her and was about to leave, when She Ji walked over at the right moment. He had been waiting. The position of their conversation
It's not in Death Shadow Pavilion, but a huge pit hidden deep in Qingli Ze. It used to be a pit, but now it's a pool - a pool of zombies.
The reason why the corpse pool is called this is quite simple. It was once a place where waste was dumped, and Wu Yin and Xie Yan were the two main businessmen. In addition to the pawnshop he ran in Qinglize as a side business, Wu Yin's main business was yin and yang.
The invention and creation of magical instruments and medicines. Anti-smoking is related to Zuojinmen and other major killers.
She works as a hand tissue handover, but her "personal interest" makes her often do research on poisons. The jewelry on her body is all made of gold, not to show off, but she likes these things, but other metals are easily corroded by poisons.
Only gold is the safest and most stable, and you don’t need to change it so frequently.
Both of them are knowledgeable, so even if they dump experimental waste, they will pay a little attention to the balance of yin and yang and the five elements. If a certain ingredient is excessive or the toxicity is unstable, it will not be good for them if the environment of Qinglize is destroyed.
.Don’t you mean that rabbits don’t eat grass around their nests? This is to leave some cover for the door of the house. She Ji doesn’t care much about these things, but Shou Gongduo and Zhu Tong often “make trouble”. Shou Gongduo is mainly responsible for the Death Shadow Pavilion
Although the value measurement of Death Shadow Pavilion is different from the universal concept, real money is of course also very important. He runs a bank and gambling house called Jinsha Village, and occasionally helps Wu Yin figure out some messy things.
Zhu Tong follows Xie Yan and likes to prepare various liquids - she is the youngest among the five and the most playful. Most of the drinks that Miyang Pavilion uses for itself or entertains guests are made by these two.
.
Others don't care about the balance of waste. After all, the number five is considered a huge number in some cases, and the communication between them is not that frequent, not to mention who threw the fruit core into the trash basket today, and who threw it away.
Melon rind, these are things that don’t need to be reported to each other. Over time, the waste in this pit has increased, and its composition has become disordered.
Later, in order to prevent Qingli Ze from being polluted, they specially set up a barrier around it. It was not troublesome to get in, but the things inside were difficult to get out. This is today's corpse pool. Let's talk about its name——
Anyone who slips and falls into the pool at the moment
Insects have absolutely no chance of survival. They often melt on the spot before sinking. No matter how light the object is, it cannot float on the corpse pool. Even a fallen leaf will be swallowed up. Small animals will only remain if they fall into it.
Under the dense forest of bones.
The opportunity is a playful deer.
In comparison, deer are larger and have very tenacious vitality. One day, a strong deer accidentally entered the boundary and was attracted by the psychedelic scene on the pond, thinking that the surface of the pond was a vast grassland. It just
Taking a step forward, he realized that he had fallen into the swamp by mistake. He immediately woke up and struggled wildly. He was probably the only guy who survived the corpse pool. The one who was killed in Shadow Pavilion
When people discovered it, it had lost its mind. Compared with its companions, it became stronger and more powerful, but that was just a reaction similar to rigor mortis. Just like Ruyue-kun, the stiff body is naturally not affected by instinct.
With protection, it can exert greater strength without fear of strain. Moreover, it is no longer afraid. I don’t know whether it has lost the ability to fear, or it no longer has any emotions.
The most important thing is that it has undergone terrible changes.
The hooves of a herbivore have sharp spines, and the flat teeth have become sharp, and there is more than one row. There are more than two rings of teeth in its mouth, which are uneven. It is by no means an ordinary deer. It is soft and soft.
The fur is as hard as a hedgehog, and half of the skin on the belly has been eroded, exposing pink flesh and blood, and you can even see the beating of blood vessels. The horn on one side has fallen off, revealing part of the white skull. But it is indeed... alive.
Alive?
For a long time, the creatures in the barrier have reached a silent consensus: never approach the corpse pool, and do not eat the mutated vegetation around it. After all, a little guy without this consciousness has no chance of leaving any descendants. But
The appearance of this crazy deer still caused suffering to the surrounding animals.
It's a disaster. The animals attacked by the crazy deer will die on the spot if they are serious, and if they are not serious, they will look similar to it. Maybe they are infected with the mad disease. Several people from the Death Shadow Pavilion quickly controlled the situation. After all, the area is not large.
Big. But it also aroused their interest - especially the interest of the pavilion master.
Why do they become like this? What is the principle? Can this power be used for one's own use? And how to use it? Does this feature still work in plants and humans? Is there room for improvement?
A series of questions urgently needed to be answered, and Death Shadow Pavilion quickly devoted its energy to relevant research.
"This is how the corpse pool came about," She Ji said to Ye Xuici, "You can go and see it, but ordinary people may not be able to stand the miasma there. I wonder if a monster like you can stand it."
"Describe it? What kind of place is it?"
She Ji did not sit on the chair honestly, but sat at the table. Although his feet were on the ground, most of the weight of his body was pressed on the table. He was neither standing nor sitting. He glanced at the drinks on the table.
, Ye Xueci was still wet. He held the cup and observed it for a while. The bubbles inside had been reduced a lot, but the psychedelic scene was still hovering around the mouth of the cup. When he took the cup, these halos were still drawn out.
left a long trail.
"It's a huge deep pit. There is a height of half a person down to the pool surface, so if you lose your footing, it is difficult to come up. During the day, it looks like a hopeless quagmire, either dark green or grayish yellow. When you get close, it will
smell something weird
Corpse odor is far more than just corpse odor. Most of the time, a deep purple mist floats on the surface of the pool and lingers around it. This is the miasma in the pool. Even we only approach when there is no miasma. At night
, the pool will emit
It emits strange fluorescence, showing bright and dazzling golden green and blue, and exudes an ominous atmosphere. From time to time, there are strange and bizarre illusions floating on the pool, which makes people feel beautiful and dangerous. The surrounding area of the corpse pool is deserted, with only unusual plants.
It grows wildly. There is gray-green grass farther away, and it becomes fresh further away. The meadow is very humid, just like the outside, and there are trees that are neither dense nor sparse. There are many kinds of trees, and each one is very tall.
high."
Ye Xuici couldn't help but think about it, and his interest was aroused.
"I heard lies and wanted to use this place before."
"Master Gaoyue told you this?" She Ji was a little surprised, but admitted, "He calculated based on the stars and hexagrams that we should have an unusual Gu pool here. Even the Pavilion Master also
I never expected him to have this
Although she admitted it, she did not lend it to others. He was very generous, and in the end we just sold him part of the poisonous poison. Before, he wanted to try to turn the shark into a yaksha, but now he can't care about that.
It’s a chore.”
"He does have some ideas. Did you talk to Satsuki-kun about anything else?"
"It's nothing, it's just what I've seen recently. I want to thank you for providing the information about the mirror. I found Luowu two days ago. Lord Gaoyue said that he thought he would go to the South Country. I thought so too, but he didn't. That's okay
Like him, he is not a nostalgic person, and even if he wants to 'fall in love', he shouldn't be who he is now."
"I really don't understand what's going on with you."
"He met some familiar people - familiar enemies, all of whom he had offended. I wanted to see if he could solve it alone now, but a troublesome woman appeared. I think it's better for him not to take risks.
.In addition...before these people appeared, I saw a familiar face next to Lu Wu."
"Really?"
"Well, but that's none of your business."
She Ji has always been polite to Ye Xuici, which is quite rare. He has no ill will or patience towards most humans. Perhaps it is also because Ye Xuici is no longer a human being and still helps him from time to time. Therefore, he
By saying these words, Bai Di was warning her not to get into trouble. At the same time, his willingness to reveal this kind of information also showed a certain degree of trust.
The words are actually very clear: I have the right not to tell you, but I told you; I know you have ways to find out, but you'd better not get involved, it has nothing to do with you anyway. I'm telling you now because I guess
Sooner or later, the Lord will need you in this matter.
Ye Xuici was always smart, so she nodded without interfering.
"The child didn't come back with you?"
"Not only didn't he, he even beat me up."
"...It's really hard for me to understand you."
"Stop talking about me," She Ji put the cup back on the table and looked at her and said, "You were uneasy the last time you saw Lord Jiyue. I heard Lord Gaoyue say that you were his apprentice in your previous life.
I suspect that I remember it, but I just saw it and forgot about it."
Ye Xuici, who seemed to be in a better mood, fell down again. She Ji clearly knew that the two of them had a conflict, but Mr. Jiyue was not merciful. It was true that he did not open the pot and raised the pot. She Ji did not ask further questions.
, he continued:
"Don't you plan to live in the Death Shadow Pavilion for a long time? It's not convenient to go back and forth between your house in Qing Lize and here. It's a lot less troublesome to give a word to the master of the pavilion."
Ye Xuici waved his hand: "I still retain many of my past habits, but don't look down on human houses. What's more, this place is too cramped, with no sunlight and everything covered..."
