Early the next morning, Lu Zhong arrived at Li Dong's house.
Different from the old lady who came out last time, the person who came out to open the door this time was an old woman with wrinkles on her face. There seemed to be something wrong with one of her eyes, which had become very cloudy and could no longer see.
Under the awed gaze of the old woman, he walked into the house as usual.
Entering the house, you can smell a pungent medicinal smell wafting in the air.
Following a burst of singing, Li Dong hummed a very cheerful nursery rhyme and walked out of the bedroom with a sleeping boy in his arms.
It can be clearly seen that the boy's face was as pale as gold, and he was afraid that his life was in danger. No wonder he was so anxious yesterday, eager to find the coffin fungus.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, how have you decided?" Li Dong said softly, as if he was afraid of waking up the boy.
"This..." Lu Zhong glanced at the boy and expressed his plan.
The information about Tongfu Teahouse is probably true, so let’s follow his own opinion.
Even if you team up with two people, you can only explore the mass grave area of the General's Tomb, and you can't go too deep, otherwise you may encounter unpredictable dangers.
He felt that it was not worth risking his life just for the sake of making an amulet for exorcism.
Hearing Lu Zhong's thoughts, Li Dong looked at the boy in his arms and was silent for a while before saying: "Okay, within three hours, if we fail to find the coffin bacteria, we will exit!"
As he said that, he handed the boy over to the old woman, with a trace of souvenir in his eyes, and he did not forget to tell him: "Remember to give medicine at noon."
"Yes, sir." The old woman picked up the boy skillfully, turned around and returned to the bedroom.
Looking back, Li Dong turned around and said to Lu Zhong: "Fangshi is a bit far from the entrance to the general's tomb. Why don't we set off now? It will be noon when we arrive at the mass grave."
The Yang Qi is sufficient at noon, which is the lowest period of the day for the activities of zombie ghosts, so it is relatively suitable for exploration.
Lu Zhong thought it made sense, so he agreed.
…
After leaving Fangshi, the two of them headed south, directly crossing the wasteland.
Apart from the thick grass, there is no more tree in the wasteland.
In fact, not even half a bush was found. It really looked like an ancient battlefield.
The further we go, the more barren the land becomes. Gradually, even the grass no longer grows, and the soil changes from loess at the beginning to dead gray sandy soil.
He picked up a handful of soil, and the sand slipped from his hands.
In the end, what was left in my hand were some jade-like bone fragments and some shiny metal fragments.
But what puzzled Lu Zhong was that even though it was almost noon, he didn't see even a trace of the mausoleum. All he could see was the boundless ancient battlefield in front of him.
"This way." Li Dong suddenly said at this time.
I saw him pointing to a hidden pit, and then he lowered his body and disappeared.
Walking over and taking a look, Lu Zhong discovered that there was a very secret entrance hidden on the reverse slope of the pit. Judging from the weathering marks, it must have been dug for a long time, but it can still accommodate one person in and out.
Entering inside, he found himself in a gloomy passage.
The passage is three feet square, with solid black mud walls on all four sides. The entrance to the passage is right on the mud wall.
Standing in the passage, you can smell a rotten smell.
Judging from the dust on the ground, no one has been here recently.
Lu Zhong tried to use the Chu Qi Technique, but found that he could only see a faint gray light. Apparently the Yin Qi here was relatively thin.
It can be clearly seen that the concentration of Yin Qi on his left hand side is much lower than that on his right hand side.
At this moment, Li Dong was holding a piece of luminous jade in one hand and a map in the other hand to determine the direction.
After a while, he pointed to Lu Zhong's left hand side and said, "The mass grave is over here. Let's go over and explore it."
"Okay!" Lu Zhong nodded.
Holding a golden talisman in his left hand and holding a Qingshuang Sword in his right hand, he was mentally prepared to encounter enemies at any time.
And deliberately, he was slightly behind Li Dong.
It is essential to be on guard against others, and you should always be careful.
Not long after walking forward, scattered skeletons began to appear in the passage.
Continuing to move forward, the number of skeletons increased rapidly, and soon the passage was covered all over the ground.
Every step forward at this time was stepping on brittle, decayed bones.
As soon as I stepped off the shoe, there was bone powder all over the sole.
At this moment, there are small chambers dug out on both sides of the passage, which are full of large tanks containing skeletons. There are many skulls piled around them, forming small temples.
Gradually, a gloomy feeling enveloped the entire passage.
During this process, Lu Zhong kept using the Qi Watching Technique and was alert to threats that might come out.
Unfortunately, there was only a faint gray light as far as the eye could see, and nothing unusual appeared.
On the other side, almost every time Li Dong passed a small room, he would go inside to check.
But every time he went in with high hopes, he always came out disappointed. Li Dong's face began to turn gloomy, and he searched persistently without saying a word.
Lu Zhong saw this and said nothing.
Just then, he heard a rustling sound.
When I turned around and took a look, I found that some bones were floating on their own. First, all the bones came together, and after a while, they were assembled into skeletons.
With a bang, a green flame ignited from inside their skulls.
It's an ambush!
In the blink of an eye, the two of them were attacked from both sides, with hundreds of skeletons blocking both sides.
"They are just some withered bone monsters. No matter how many there are, they are just like ants. Let's deal with them one by one." Li Dong calmly took out a magic sword and reminded Lu Zhong at the same time.
Lu Zhong nodded, feeling a little more at ease, and began to practice the sword technique with both hands.
The Qingshuang Sword moved with the sword technique, and a layer of green light appeared with a buzzing sound. Pieces of snowflakes began to fall, causing the temperature in the already cold passage to drop by another three points.
With a sound of "咻", the shadow of the sword flew out like an arrow from the string.
For the sake of caution, he did not intend to pierce the group of withered bone monsters with this sword, but planned to pass by the few in front of them to test the quality of these bone monsters.
Unexpectedly, these skeleton demons are surprisingly fragile.
Just the strong wind caused by the flying magic weapon can easily blow them down.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong was very determined.
Immediately, the sword technique changed, changing the previous cautious strategy.
The Qingshuang Sword opened and closed widely among the withered bone demons, slashing horizontally and vertically, and there was no enemy wherever it went.
It took less than ten breaths to finish all the withered bone monsters here.
Li Dong also sacrificed his own magic weapon.
It's just that this sword seems to be worn a little too badly, so that the aura on the surface of the sword flickers erratically, and it looks like it might lose control at any time.
Moreover, he is not very proficient in sword techniques. He can only use a single sword move such as slashing, slashing, and stabbing, and cannot achieve the seamless connection like Lu Zhong.
"Perhaps this is the normal strength of a casual cultivator..."
With this thought in his mind, Lu Zhong drew out several sword techniques one after another and summoned Qingshuang Sword for help.
After a while, there was no longer a withered bone demon standing in the passage.
