Chapter 321 No, Im a suspect(1/2)
Guan Zu had some impressions of Zhengqi Villa. It seemed that Ning Caichen accidentally came to this place in a panic after escaping from prison.
Here, he also met a Kunlun sect warlock, Brother Wuying Zhiqiu Yiye, and two sisters, Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi.
Among them, the elder sister Fu Qingfeng has a face exactly like Xiaoqian.
It's a pity that Guan Zu came too early. Pudu Cihang has not yet become the protector of the country, and the two sisters have not yet wandered into the world, so Guan Zu does not dare to expect to find Brother Wuying here.
You must know that although this Wuying is quite powerful, he is still wandering around the world, and he has no reputation now, so Guan Zu has never considered recruiting him as a helper. The key is that he can't be found even if he tries to find him.
However, in this Zhengqi Villa, besides the people in the story, there is another thing that remains fresh in Guan Zu's memory.
That means there is a mutated corpse hidden inside.
I don't know what strange changes happened to that thing. In short, it has become not like a zombie, nor like a ghoul, but it is more powerful than both.
First of all, this guy is huge. Standing straight, his height is almost three meters.
And it also has the characteristics of some advanced zombies. If it is slashed on the body with an ordinary sword, it is not much different from scratching it.
He is also capable of earth escape, and can hide underneath when he has nothing to do. It is very convenient whether he is escaping or making a sneak attack.
Even if it is really cut into two pieces, it can actually turn into two monsters like an earthworm.
Moreover, it also carries its own corpse poison. Anyone infected by its corpse poison will soon become the same as it.
It can be said that this guy is simply an all-round hexagonal warrior.
It's okay if we didn't meet him. Now that we've arrived at Zhengqi Villa by mistake, Guan Zu thinks that we can consider taking this giant corpse under his command to prevent it from causing harm to the world in the future.
After all, he is still a disciple of Maoshan. Since the conditions of this world allow it, it always feels a little bit boring to have a few zombies jumping behind him.
This giant corpse is already extremely talented. If coupled with the blessing of Maoshan's corpse refining technique, not to mention how powerful it can be against Pudu Cihang, at least it can be used as a human shield to support himself!
Just after entering the Zhengqi Villa, Guan Zu found that there were still some differences between this place and the one in his memory.
First of all, although the main hall is dilapidated, there is no row of coffins parked in the memory.
Guan Zu could understand this. After all, Fu Qingfeng and the two sisters had not brought anyone over to pretend to be ghosts at this time, so it was okay to have no coffin.
However, although the lobby was dilapidated, it was spotless everywhere, and all kinds of debris had been cleared away. It looked like someone had obviously cleaned it, which made Guan Zu a little curious.
If it has been cleaned, it means that someone lives here, not just temporarily, but intends to stay there for a long time, or has lived there for a long time.
You must know that this Zhengqi Villa is built alone in the mountains. Not to mention it is close to the city. The road to here is a rugged path that connects to the official road in the distance.
If Guan Zu hadn't just looked at the direction and walked randomly through the mountains, he might not have been able to discover this kind of place.
And the most important thing is that there are giant corpses here. For ordinary people, the only result of living here is to have them delivered to their doorsteps and become snacks for the giant corpses, without any chance to clean them.
Thinking of this, Guan Zu immediately became alert. After all, to be able to live here without fear of giant corpses, one must not only be brave enough, but also have strong enough skills.
It's fine if there's no hostility, but if it's someone with evil intentions, then you have to be careful.
In Guan Zu's mind, the possibility of the latter was far greater than the former.
Because in Guan Zu's memory, everyone in this story, except for Yan Chixia later, had their own pursuits in their hearts.
For this pursuit, they have worked hard to wallow in the world of mortals, and have no intention of living such a secluded life.
And those who would hide and live in this inaccessible place must be because it meets the other party's requirements.
It is remote enough that even if you do crazy things here, no one will bother you.
You must know the location of Zhengqi Villa. According to Guan Zu, it was built specifically to do things that could not be discovered by others.
Otherwise, it really makes no sense why a house would be built in this remote place with no shops.
As far as the natural scenery here is concerned, the barren mountains and ridges do not have much beauty to speak of.
In addition, the current Zhengqi Villa has a strong corpse aura, making it really unsuitable for people to live there for a long time.
Realizing this, Guan Zu didn't say anything. He wouldn't do that kind of thing like going into a temple to burn incense and reporting his family status first.
In his opinion, it has no other effect except exposing his life to danger in advance.
Everyone is staying here, so there is no need to distinguish between host and guest, so there is no need to say hello first.
After all, if the other party is an enemy, shouting and saying hello is tantamount to reminding the other party to prepare for a sneak attack on me!
So after seeing the situation in the lobby clearly, Guan Zu remained calm and slowly exited the Zhengqi Villa, retreating directly into the woods outside.
There are many ways to investigate, and there is no need to go out and take risks yourself.
After all, there is Grandma, Pudu Cihang, and Black Mountain Old Demon in this world.
Who knows if there will be some weird people out there. I have more important things to do now, so there is really no need to add extraneous matters.
After making sure that he had not been discovered, Guan Zu took out a spiritual talisman and tore it into a very abstract villain in a few strokes.
This is Maoshan's secret technique, the Paper Man Substitution Technique. It does not mean that you can let the paper man resist attacks for you, but you can attach a piece of your own consciousness to the paper man, and then control the paper man to do some dangerous things for you.
As Guan Zu cast the spell, he saw the little paper man spread its legs, one long and one short, and quickly got in through a crack in the wall of the villa.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! With this paper man substitute, Guan Zu was much more unrestrained in his investigation this time.
Taking advantage of the small size, lightness and thinness of the paper man, he quickly got into the backyard.
When he got here, Guan Zu was also a little nauseated by the scene in the backyard.
This place was supposed to be a garden, but now it's nothing but overgrown with weeds.
The key is that the place that was originally a koi pond has now been completely replaced by a pool of unknown slime.
The mucus is dark red and black in color and has the texture of nasal mucus.
The key point is that the entire pool of mucus is still squirming and churning as if it is alive.
Occasionally, some rotted limbs can be seen, floating to the surface as they stir.
And a scholar in Confucian attire with an upright face stood by the pond, taking advantage of the last light, flipping through the book in his hand, and mumbling to himself.
"It shouldn't be? According to the book, it's almost time. Why hasn't brother been resurrected yet?"
It was obvious that the scholar was a little anxious, and he turned the pages of the book very quickly. It was more like he was turning the pages for the sake of looking at the content.
From his words, Guan Zu guessed that the scholar probably wanted to resurrect his dead brother.
It's just that Guan Zu didn't feel the slightest fluctuation of mana from him, he was just an ordinary person.
Instead, Guan Zu felt a strong corpse aura in the mucus in that pool, so thick that it had condensed into streaks of black mist, lingering above the pond.
Guan Zu can be sure that there is no possibility of resurrecting people in this pond.
On the contrary, the scholar, invaded by such strong corpse energy, could basically be said to be a dead person.
At least the body is dead, and now he is just a living dead.
While Guan Zu was still analyzing the information, he saw the scholar turning the pages of the book more and more loudly, and then the whole person started to become hysterical.
"Didn't you say that you can be resurrected? That's clearly what it says in the book, and I followed exactly what it said. Why, even though I've been wearing the collar for forty-nine days, why hasn't my brother come back to life yet?"
At first it was mumbling to himself, but as the scholar became more and more excited, it turned into a roar. Finally, it was like venting, and the book was shattered into pieces in a few strokes.
Guan Zu wanted to tell him that he could actually wait a little longer. He could already feel that the corpse energy in the pond was slowly concentrating, and it might change soon.
However, Guan Zu was not optimistic about the resurrected brother mentioned by the scholar.
Now he can roughly see that what is recorded in the book is definitely not a resurrection technique, but more like an evil corpse refining method.
He didn't understand the specific principle, but as the corpse energy slowly condensed, very pure evil energy began to appear in the depths of the pond.
Sure enough, just as the scholar was lying on the edge of the pond, crying bitterly, the mucus in the pond also changed.
It was no longer the kind of irregular writhing and tumbling, but began to shrink towards the center of the pond. When the frequency increased, it really sounded like the heartbeat of a living person.
"Brother? Brother, is that you?"
This sudden change excited the scholars on the side and started shouting towards the pond.
As the mucus in the pond beat faster and faster, slowly the mucus in the entire pond actually gathered together and slowly turned into a huge sphere.
And on the spherical surface, it actually turned into a translucent film, tightly wrapping the mucus inside, really like a huge flesh cocoon.
Now the scholar jumped directly into the pond, took a few steps to the side of the flesh cocoon, stretched out his hand with an affectionate expression, and carefully stroked the flesh membrane on the surface.
"Brother! You are in there, right?" As he said this, he even put his face on the cocoon, with a look of relief on his face. "I succeeded, I finally succeeded. Brother, you are about to be resurrected!"
"
It's just that the scholar didn't stay happy for long, and the huge flesh cocoon changed again.
The beating that was like a heart suddenly stopped. Just when the scholar was at a loss, a huge claw suddenly penetrated the flesh membrane from the inside and twisted his head.
Then, with the scholar's astonished look on his face, he was pulled into the cocoon of flesh.
This incident shocked even Guan Zu, who had been watching.
Especially the huge claws that were glimpsed just now, in Guan Zu's opinion, aren't they those of the giant corpse in the story?
"Did the scholar just create the giant corpse?"
Guan Zu understood somewhat. It turned out that the scholar was hiding in Zhengqi Villa just to facilitate his corpse refining.
After all, looking at the broken limbs in the pond, one doesn't know how many evil things the scholar has committed in order to resurrect his brother.
