This corpse explosion happened so suddenly. Except for Jin An, who had been prepared in advance and grabbed Master Yiyun and Qi Bo in time to escape early, everyone else fled in a panic and almost got swallowed up by the flesh and blood that looked like human ears. .
Seeing that two more people died on his side, Mr. Yan was so angry that his face was extremely ugly. He was furious: "Where did the dead arms in their hands come from! Where are the people in charge of the night watch tonight? Who allowed anyone to The one who left the camp privately brought back two dead arms to me!"
Master Yan asked twice.
It can be seen how angry he is in his heart now.
Anyway, since the Laughing Corpse Manor, their team has not had a smooth journey along the way. They have been killed by Old Man Jiufeng many masters in succession, and they have encountered setbacks before they can find the Kingdom of the Immortal God.
Now two more people are dead.
The death of these two people is not the point. The point is that among the many people who had eaten fragrant meat at Laughing Corpse Village, the people on his side were the first to die suddenly. This gave him a very bad premonition, fearing that they Before we can find the Kingdom of the Immortal God, we will lose a large number of manpower.
How can this keep him from being upset and angry?
"Master Yan, Chen Yong was the first to notice the abnormality here among the people watching at night. His subordinates had just questioned him. He said that the two people who were sick had never left the camp. I don't know how those... dead hands appeared here. In the camp?”
A subordinate said hesitantly.
"Never left the camp?"
"Could it be that it was dug out under our feet?"
After Yan Kuan finished speaking, he ordered a thorough investigation to find out the source of those dead hands.
Because of the large number of people, clues were quickly obtained to trace the dead man's hand.
"Ah, this...weird corpse! Strange corpse!" A panicked scream rang out harshly. In a corner of the camp, someone sat down on the ground with a frightened expression on his face, looking like he was very frightened.
It was a sand pit several meters deep that had been dug out with bare hands. There were two sarcophagi buried side by side in the sand pit. These sarcophagi were buried so deep. I don’t know how the two corpse eaters found the dead people underground.
"The desert is so big, it's really hard to find a coffin. Why are there two sarcophagi buried together here?" someone said in surprise.
Jin An, Master Yiyun, and Qi Bo also came over to check the situation. Jin An casually took a look at the sarcophagus buried side by side, and then said casually: "If there is a man and a woman buried in the coffin, this should be a husband and wife coffin."
The sarcophagus in the sand pit was so large that one coffin could hold the width of two coffins. At this time, one of the sarcophagi was opened, revealing a strange male corpse covered with silver powder, which looked like a metallic luster.
The strange thing about this corpse is that the sarcophagus is quite old, but the male corpse in the sarcophagus is still fresh, with no signs of decay or dehydration and mummification.
A few people were aroused by such fresh and strange corpses. They held torches in their hands and looked inside, and then screamed: "Oh my God!" A monster with many arms!
No wonder the coffin here is unusually wide than ordinary people. The silver-pink male corpse in the coffin actually has five or six arms. After being eaten two arms, there are still several arms attached to the body.
Jin An looked at the male corpse that looked like a multi-handed monster, and there was no too much surprise on his face: "It seems that we have arrived at Baizu territory a long time ago, but after so many years, Baizu has long since disappeared with the wind, and there is not even a ruin. For the rest, it’s no wonder we haven’t found Baizu after searching for so long, Baizu disappeared more completely than the Guchi Kingdom and the Wuer clan.”
Master Yan didn't know if there were two masters of exorcism, the mountain guard and the monk, occupying his area. They had no taboos about the dead people in the desert and directly ordered the coffins to be opened.
But before opening the coffin, the mountain guard suddenly reminded: "The corpse in this coffin is covered with silver powder. If I read correctly, the corpses in these two coffins were embalmed using mercury. Mercury is highly toxic." "When you open the coffin, you'd better hold your breath and take precautions to prevent inhaling poisonous gas or mercury powder."
"It seems that people in the depths of the desert are not completely uninformed. They also know how to use mercury embalming to perfectly preserve the remains before death. Mercury is highly poisonous, and the mercury on the body can also prevent tomb robbers and corpse thieves. The purpose of a thief is to kill two birds with one stone."
When the mountain guard said this, the people who were about to open the coffin almost turned ugly, but they still obeyed the order and carefully opened the coffin lid.
Boom!
As soon as the coffin lid fell to the ground, the people who opened the coffin immediately fled in all directions, fearing that they would inhale the poisonous gas that had been trapped in the coffin for a long time.
After the sarcophagus had dispersed for a while, Mr. Yan took the initiative to check the body in the coffin. Seeing that Mr. Yan was safe and sound, the others, driven by curiosity, also held torches and bravely joined in. Go to the coffin and look at it.
Among the people on Yan Kuan's side, someone shouted in surprise: "Sir, Taoist Priest Jin An really got it right. This is really the coffin of a man and a woman!"
"What are you shouting for? I have no eyes, can't I see?" Yan Kuan, who was already in a bad mood, saw that his subordinate actually admired Jin An and glared at him in a bad mood.
He has a very high authority in the team, and with one look he can silence the noise in the team.
Just as Yan Kuan was speaking, Master Yiyun came to the sarcophagus without fear of mercury: "It seems that the hands of these centipede people are not born?"
Young Master Yiyun was closest to the sarcophagus covered in mercury powder, so she could observe more details.
Her body at this time cannot be regarded as a real body, so it is reasonable not to be afraid of these poisonous things. As she spoke, she raised a white onion finger and gently rubbed the sleeve of the silver-pink female corpse. The thousand-year-old fabric shredded at the touch, revealing a circle of scars on his arm.
More than one arm has wound healing scars, and except for two arms that do not have wound healing scars, every other arm has such wound healing scars.
She was really right. These centipede people were not born with multiple hands and legs, but were sewn together the day after tomorrow.
"Young Master Yiyun is very insightful and thoughtful. He can even discover such hidden details. I wonder which school Master Yiyun studied under?" The mountain guard narrowed his eyes and made insinuations about Young Master Yiyun's path.
Young Master Yiyun ignored the mountain guard and walked towards another sarcophagus. The male corpse in that sarcophagus had the same wound healing scars.
Among the people present, only Jin An knew Master Yiyun's path.
Young Master Yiyun cultivates the art of painting and painting, and has been dealing with painting for many years. Naturally, a person's abnormality cannot be hidden from her eyes.
Observing the two corpses in the sarcophagus, Mr. Yiyun said something to himself: "I once inquired about something related to the centipede people in the desert. Legend has it that everyone in these centipedes loves beauty. The more beautiful a person is, the higher their status is in Baizu, but their way of appreciating beauty is a bit strange. They advocate having multiple hands and feet. The more hands and feet there are, the more flawless the hands and feet are. People who are praised by them as gods are reincarnated. In myths and stories in many places, gods hold up the sky with three heads and six arms or with a thousand hands, so it is not difficult to understand that they worship multiple hands and legs."
"I used to think that there are so many people with multiple limbs in this world. At most, some people occasionally contracted strange diseases, so they were born with multiple limbs from childhood, and then they were given to someone by ignorant people or others. Two magic sticks have become myths. People who are regarded as gods and reincarnated in the human world. This method of deception is not uncommon. I have encountered such things several times during my travels. Generally, this is the case in more remote places. The more serious the situation, for example, the three-horned ox is regarded as the reincarnation of the sacred cow that invites the three ancestors, and a temple is built for the ox, and the five-legged toad is regarded as a golden toad that can attract wealth... and so on. There are too many examples, and they are all scammers who specialize in deceiving people with little knowledge in the mountains and forests, cheating them of food, drink, money, and sex."
"But after seeing the bodies of the centipede people today, I found that all the pretense and tricks I had experienced in the past were still insignificant in front of these centipede people. I used to think of the centipede people too simply! I didn't expect that the centipede people were not It's not just one or two cases, but everyone has many hands and feet. If two hands represent a person's life, with so many centipedes, how many people will they kidnap and sell? How many slaves will they buy and sell? How many families will they destroy and plunder? People? Can they satisfy their morbid desires?" Master Yiyun hates evil as much as he hates it, and his face is filled with frost.
Hiss!
After hearing what Mr. Yiyun said, everyone realized what the two corpses in front of them meant.
It means Baizu Country, which is a hell where everyone eats people without spitting out their bones! To say it is hell is an understatement. Is there really such a morbid aesthetic in this world?
Cut off other people's hands and feet and sew them onto yourself, and then worship the white feet as beautiful?
The more you think about it, the more horrified you become. Centipede people love beauty, and regard their flawless hands and legs as the body closest to the reincarnation of God. How can there be so many beautiful women and handsome men in this world for them to kill? Even after death, mercury must be used to embalm the corpse so that it still retains its "beautiful" appearance. Living is the closest to God, and even after death, one must be closest to God.
No wonder these Baizu people perished earlier than the Guchi Kingdom and the Wuer clan. There were not that many people to help them continue their work, so they would surely perish sooner or later.
They originally thought that those who cut off their ears like the Wu'er family were already lunatics. Unexpectedly, the closer they got to the Kingdom of the Immortal God, the more lunatics there were, and each one became crazier than the last.
