Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 193

"Boom!"

After everyone entered, the stone door began to close.

The interior can no longer be called a corridor. Although the walls are still sharp and angular, it is very wide and high. People standing here may even feel insignificant.

Moreover, as the stone door was completely closed, a faint green light gradually emerged from the rock walls on both sides and above.

Lin Shuyou stared at the luster on the rock wall in front of him and asked subconsciously, "Emerald?"

Yin Meng: "If it's really jade, wouldn't those who gamble on jade be out of a job?"

Tan Wenbin corrected him: "Those who sell jadeite will also lose their jobs."

Zhao Yi came over, put his palm on the stone, touched it carefully, and then frowned and said, "It doesn't look like jade, but more like a patina."

Li Zhuiyuan tapped the wall with his knuckles, listened to the echo, and confirmed: "It should be liquid inside."

"liquid?"

It is precisely because everyone believes in Xiaoyuan's judgment that it seems even more incredible.

Tan Wenbin looked around. Except for the ground, the other three sides were all green. "If it's liquid, then wouldn't it be like we're standing in an aquarium?"

Yin Meng: "What does the aquarium look like?"

Tan Wenbin: "Go shopping less in the future."

Yin Meng: "Then I'll go to the aquarium after I return to Nantong."

Tan Wenbin shrugged: "I can't see it in Nantong now, let's go to Jinling to look for it next time."

Nantong has its own aquarium, which is only open during the summer vacation for primary and secondary school students to visit. However, the aquatic creatures inside are all kept in glass tanks. Not only are the species not rich, but there are also many extras who are temporarily pulled in from the vegetable market.

Just when the brightness here reached its highest point, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the wall.

It appeared very suddenly and was getting closer and closer, as if it was about to burst out of the wall.

Everyone took a few steps back and formed a defensive formation.

The black shadow stopped after it got close to the wall. From its shape, it looked a bit like a human, as it had the outline of a head and neck, but no limbs.

Moreover, after the first one appeared, the second, third, and fourth black shadows began to appear on the walls on both sides and above... There were more and more black shadows, as if stimulated or pulled by something, and began to gather from the depths to the inner edge of the wall.

The number is unimaginable, and they are so densely packed that it brings a creepy feeling of oppression.

Tan Wenbin: "Now... it's a bit like the aquarium in Nantong."

A water tank, surrounded by students.

This group of people seemed more like objects being visited in a water tank.

Zhao Yi looked at Li Zhuiyuan and asked, "Is it a living creature?"

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head and replied, "I hope so."

Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yeah."

If it is a living thing, it might be some special kind of animal or plant, so there is nothing to worry about. But if it is a dead thing... there are too many changes in dead things.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Let's continue to move inside and not waste too much time here."

Everyone started to move forward. The feeling of being "spyed" by dense black shadows was really unfriendly, but for now, they could not break out of the rock wall, nor did they show any danger.

If you just want to take a look, then go for it.

Not far away, there were sunken steps in front of us, and below was a circular hall.

Above the head, there are green stones hanging down, and there is a white circle attached to each tip. Upon closer inspection, it looks like a cocoon.

It is different here than before. Not only are the sides and the top green, but even the ground under the feet is green. The entire environment is completely surrounded by green texture.

Moreover, as if sensed by the living, more and more dark shadows either emerged or simply followed from their previous locations, swarming in and "swimming" here.

"Tick tock...tick tock...tick tock..."

The sound of dripping water was very light and inaudible at first, then it gradually became louder. After reaching a harsh level, it was instantly silent.

At the same time, a black shadow squeezed in from above a thick green inverted stone cone, slid down inside, and finally sank into the white cocoon at the bottom.

The white cocoon gradually swelled and began to droop slowly. It wouldn't be long before it fell from above and landed on the ground.

Tan Wenbin: "If it was a person who fell down in the end, then doesn't that mean that the shadows in the walls..."

Zhao Yi: "They are all human beings."

Lin Shuyou: "Then how many people are there here?"

The number of black shadows appearing right now is too numerous to count.

Zhao Yi: "This is normal. This place should have some kind of strangeness. But no matter how strange the place is, it is impossible for buildings to appear out of nowhere. After all, it was built by humans."

"Boom!"

A muffled sound came from below, and ripples spread out. The black shadows on the surrounding walls began to shake, like mud and sand being stirred in a pool.

At the location where the noise came from, there was a coffin, and its lid was stuck to the rock wall below.

Lin Shuyou: "This thing is coming out, it's floating up."

On the ground, the coffin slowly emerged, as if it was undergoing some kind of penetration.

It is clearly a return to reality from the dark green, but there is also a sense of returning to the world from hell.

Moreover, the dark shadows around seemed to have suddenly given up their interest in Li Zhuiyuan and the others, and all began to spontaneously gather towards the coffin, as if waiting for them to get out so that they could rush out together through the broken gap.

However, the coffin stopped after floating halfway up.

It was like a cork in a wine bottle, stuck there.

Below it, there are a large number of dark shadows gathered, like a huge beehive.

The coffin is very large and made of bronze. It is carved with a pair of huge bulging eyes that seem to be scanning the surroundings.

Zhao Yi: "If you want to ensure absolute safety, you should act now. Before the coffin lid is opened, go ahead and seal it."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Next time, if it is not a suggestion from my perspective, you don't have to mention it."

Zhao Yi spread his hands.

He was a lone man who just wanted to finish this wave so as to prolong his life with merit, so naturally he would do whatever was safest possible.

As for Li Zhuiyuan, in the first round of competition for the broken jade, he tried his best to delay time and let his companions recover from their injuries. Even at the very end, he tried his best to avoid fighting consumption. Even when he faced the two people from the Yu family outside, even though he knew they were seriously injured, he did not choose to find an excuse to start a war.

The purpose is to be as relaxed as possible after entering here.

Having suffered a heavy blow, you can't be powerless when eating sweet dates.

The door you chose represents a puppet, which is here to take advantage of opportunities in this area. If you block the crisis, you will naturally block the opportunity as well.

Li Zhuiyuan raised his hand: "Everyone adjust your state."

Runsheng took out the compressed biscuits and distributed them to everyone.

While others took small bites, he stuffed the food into his mouth piece by piece, taking a sip in between bites while sucking the crumbs in his palm into his mouth.

"Buzzing..."

The heavy coffin lid slowly moved forward.

In the past, when we encountered such a situation, no matter what was inside, we would try our best to keep it inside if we could prevent it from coming out.

Now, I have to stand far away and wait quietly.

The coffin lid was not completely overturned, but only slid out by one-third.

According to normal human standards, if there is someone inside, it should only be opened to the chest.

A pair of white, slender hands slowly emerged from the coffin.

Ten long fingernails, five red on the left hand and five black on the right hand.

Suddenly, ten fingers were arched and crossed!

"Snapped!"

The white cocoon that had been ready to burst forth from the green stone pillar suddenly fell off at this moment and landed heavily on the ground.

The ten fingers slowly loosened.

The white cocoon slowly tears apart.

"babble………………"

A long tune came out from the white cocoon and continued to echo in the empty surroundings.

High five.

"Snapped!"

The white cocoon burst, and a figure in white emerged from inside.

In fact, it is not white clothes, but more like a kind of raw silk.

Moreover, although it stood up like a person, its hands and feet could not be seen.

Flip your hands forward.

The white shadow's head knocked downward and turned red instantly, as if he was wearing a red-painted mask.

Above the coffin, the ten fingers no longer paused and began to change and intertwine constantly, and the speed changed from slow to fast.

The masked man's joints became more and more smooth from the beginning, with pauses and pauses. The white silk on his body had been woven into his hands and feet, gradually making him look more human.

This whole set of changing movements, like the opening of a dance, is full of rhythm and rhyme, and is heading towards a climax.

Zhao Yi: "Tell me, does this look like..."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Nuo opera."

Nuo opera has a long history. It originated in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It has developed into different branches in different places. In many places, it is also called "ghost opera".

The masked man's movements became more and more coherent. After continuously rotating to the side, he suddenly stopped, put his arms close to his body, and leaned forward, seemingly falling down.

Not long after, it took steps forward, where Li Zhuiyuan and the others were. One step, two steps, three steps, its pace getting higher and higher, and its speed getting faster and faster.

It rushed over.

But Li Zhuiyuan's main attention was not on it.

The boy's focus the whole time was on the hands above the coffin.

It was those hands that controlled the masked man.

"Lin Shuyou, come on!"

"understand!"

Lin Shuyou leaped down and just blocked the masked man.

The masked man paused, his feet touching the ground, his upper body turned around on the spot, and then he pounced on Lin Shuyou.

This movement was considered fast in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Lin Shuyou's perception, it was a bit slow. He didn't even need to use his spirit power to deal with it. He could handle it with his normal skills.

The two sides exchanged punches and kicks for several moves in a row, and Lin Shuyou found that the opponent's strength was just so-so.

After another round of fistfights, Lin Shuyou immediately moved closer, took out his trident, inserted it directly into the masked man's chest, and then cut it horizontally.

"Wow..."

Like the sound of silk being torn.

The masked man's body broke into two and fell to the ground, flames rising and burning himself.

In a moment, only two thin pieces of ash were left on the spot, and they dispersed without wind in the next moment.

The opponent was very weak and posed almost no threat. After defeating it, Lin Shuyou didn't even think about taking credit.

However, he still turned around and glanced at Brother Xiaoyuan behind him.

But he found that Brother Xiaoyuan had already sat cross-legged, and that hateful Zhao Yi was also maintaining the same posture as Brother Xiaoyuan.

Zhao Yi: "The puppetry of Nuo opera is very exquisite."

Li Zhuiyuan: “Yes.” Zhao Yi: “This is the first round.”

Li Zhuiyuan: "This is the opening move."

Zhao Yi: "It will start from simple to difficult. Once we are too greedy, we will capsize and may even die here. Don't forget, we have two votes for this stone gate."

Li Zhuiyuan: "You should be greedy."

Zhao Yi nodded: "I am standing on your side."

Li Zhuiyuan: “Yeah, but it’s still nonsense.”

At this moment, two black shadows slid down the green stone cone and fell into the white circle at the tip of the bottom.

The ten fingers above the coffin crossed again.

"Snapped!"

Another white cocoon fell to the ground.

The ten fingers spread apart and the white calluses tore apart.

A new masked man appears.

This time, the time it took for its limbs to go from stiff to smooth was very short. After just a few quick twitches, they became extremely flexible.

At the same time, the color of its mask changed to black and became more delicate, like a human face, with specific depictions.

Lin Shuyou noticed the change in the opponent this time. It was very different from the one he had easily dealt with before.

The ten fingers on the coffin began to change.

Li Zhuiyuan's hands moved in imitation.

The same is true for Zhao Yi, one young and one young, and their hand speeds change in the same way.

The danger is not yet clear, but the opportunity has already appeared.

Those hands were actually performing puppetry. The previous round was the foundation, which was what Li Zhuiyuan called the "starting move". Of course, it could also be called the "first move".

Although the Jiujiang Zhao family is not a true Dragon King family, the family heritage is quite rich, and Zhao Yi has eaten the fine rice.

As for Li Zhuiyuan, he relied on the collection of books in his great-grandfather's basement. It can be said that he had been lying on a pile of chaff since he entered the school.

When the hands began to perform, the two of them immediately realized the exquisiteness of the Nuo opera puppetry, which was a treasured technique that they were jealous of.

However, this is not a teaching bureau. It can even be said that the so-called teaching here is just a trap to seduce people's inner desires.

Since the hands started from the "starting posture", they must be different from the independent techniques such as "The Twelve Laws of Fengdu". It has a clear progressive change, which is what Zhao Yi said from simple to difficult.

People's greed is definitely to learn as completely as possible, and to understand as deeply as possible. Therefore, the masked people they face will become stronger and stronger.

Once greed is out of control, the masked man will become increasingly difficult to deal with, until eventually our side will be unable to control the situation. Then this seemingly relaxing and enjoyable teaching game will turn into a killing game.

It is even more dangerous if the switch is in your own hands, because it is really difficult for most people to overcome their own greed.

Runsheng gently pushed Tan Wenbin's shoulder and asked, "Why don't you sit down and learn together?"

Tan Wenbin looked at Brother Xiaoyuan and Zhao Yi who were sitting in front of him and said, "I don't think I'm suitable for this kind of occasion."

Runsheng: "That mule is rented, your mule is your own."

Tan Wenbin nodded: "It's a rough statement, but the truth is true."

Runsheng scratched his head: "Uncle Li often taught me these principles, and they are quite useful."

Tan Wenbin smiled, and also sat down cross-legged. He patted his shoulders with both hands and whispered:
"Children, let me borrow your smart brains for you two."

Two faint shadows of babies appeared on Tan Wenbin's shoulders, shaking their little feet happily.

Tan Wenbin looked at the hands on the coffin, and his left and right hands moved in slow motion with it.

There is bound to be a lag when learning by watching. Simply imitating is already a mess. Moreover, Tan Wenbin knows that imitating movements is only the lowest and most unimportant. What he really needs to understand and comprehend is the charm of the techniques contained in the movements of those hands.

Look at Zhao Yi. The movements of that boy's hands are almost in sync with the hands on the coffin, and a smile and an understanding expression appear on his face from time to time.

It was just like those good students in high school. After the teacher finished explaining the question, when most of the students were still confused, he was the only one who uttered "Oh~" on his own.

Looking at my own brother Xiaoyuan, he was also doing the same action, but his expression remained calm. Look, this is the calmness that only belongs to the top scorer in the college entrance examination!

Tan Wenbin knew that his brain was not enough, at least he could not keep up with this learning progress, but it didn’t matter, he could just keep doing it.

The two children have already joined in making hand prints, and although they are a little clumsy, they are much smoother than him, their father.

With the three cobblers working together, Tan Wenbin's hands gradually began to keep up with the rhythm. Some intermittent insights also appeared in his mind, and he kept making sounds from his mouth:
"Sigh~"

"Ah~"

"Oh~"

Zhuangzhuang felt the joy of those students who were loading goods in the class.

Runsheng lowered his head, looked at Tan Wenbin who was sitting there, and asked in surprise: "Are you breeding here?"

Then, Runsheng turned his head and looked at Yin Meng who was standing beside him.

Yin Meng pointed at herself and said, "Do I need to sit down and learn too?"

Your brain can't learn.

This is too blunt and could hurt people.

So, Runsheng said:

"Forget it. My legs tend to go numb when I sit down."

Below, the second masked man brought pressure to Lin Shuyou. Its speed and strength were significantly improved compared to before.

Without any spirit possession, the two sides fought fiercely for a while.

Li Zhuiyuan stopped what he was doing, and Zhao Yi stopped right after.

Tan Wenbin continued to imitate the hand seal, his hands were busy.

Li Zhuiyuan remained silent.

Zhao Yi leaned back slightly and looked at Tan Wenbin.

Tan Wenbin: "Brother Xiaoyuan, you don't have to wait for me."

It's enough as long as Xiaoyuan learns well. If he wants to learn in the future, he can get special tutoring. For now, the main focus is on creating an experiential learning atmosphere and participation.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Ayou, the spirit world is coming."

After receiving the order, Lin Shuyou immediately stepped on each other's feet, then distanced himself from each other, completed the spirit possession, and opened his vertical pupils!
His speed of possessing spirits is getting faster and faster now. It's like when he calls the paging station, he never has to worry about waiting in line or the line being busy. As soon as he dials, he can immediately hear the soft voice of the lady at the paging station.

The White Crane Boy rushed forward, took three steps and in a flash came to the side of the opponent, then grabbed the masked man's neck with one hand, threw him to the ground, and then raised his foot and stomped on him!
"boom!"

The masked man shattered and turned into a ball of scattered flames. After burning to ashes, he dissipated on his own.

The boy was a little surprised. This time the opponent was so easy.

He began to use his vertical pupils to look around, and saw the countless shadows behind the "Emerald", the coffin, and the hands on the coffin...

The boy looked solemn: Where exactly is this place?
Five black shadows slid to the bottom of the green stone cone.

Above the coffin, the hands crossed their fingers again.

Li Zhuiyuan opened his drooping eyes again, and Zhao Yi touched his fingertips, preparing to start a new lesson.

As the ten fingers loosened, there was a "pop" sound and another white cocoon fell to the ground.

A new masked man stood up from inside. This time, the colors on the mask were richer, and he even looked about 70% like Lin Shuyou.

The next scene made Baihe Tongzi’s pupils narrow.

The masked man was actually walking towards us in three steps!
"Fuck me!"

Tan Wenbin only felt a tightness in his chest, as if he was hit by a punch. The two children on his shoulders also fell to the ground, holding their heads and crying “ouch”.

This is impossible to learn, totally unbearable.

The first two times, there were only differences in moves and strength. Who could have expected that this time, the figure and footwork of the general would appear.

The ten fingers above the coffin formed an afterimage, and the amount of deduction and calculation represented by it was directly raised to a higher level!
Zhao Yi looked exhausted and he could not keep up.

She glanced at the boy next to her from the corner of her eye, only to see that he still had a calm expression, his hands following the movements steadily.

Zhao Yi was not angry and simply tore off the bandage on his forehead.

When the gap between his life and death is opened, his body will become soft as if it has no bones, and only when it is closed or dug out can his skills return to normal.

But with his severely injured body, he has no skills at all. If a "broken flower" like me is required to run to the front to fight, it would almost mean that the whole team is about to be wiped out.

Zhao Yi pinched his forehead with his fingertips and forcibly tore off the sutured wound.

The bloody gap between life and death reappears.

Blood dripped down his face, but his hands had already caught up with the rhythm again.

Looking at this scene, Tan Wenbin couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This Zhao guy is really cruel to himself.

The White Crane Boy felt insulted, and he rushed forward with a trident in his hand. Both sides took the Three Steps Praise, and their figures flashed and intertwined.

As the fight went on, the boy found that he was unable to actually hurt the other party. It seemed that the other party could always predict his next move and avoid it in advance.

Moreover, after an intersection of their bodies in the middle, the opponent spread out his palm, and first a wisp of white smoke rose up, and then the white smoke condensed and transformed into the phantom of a trident.

The White Crane Boy's breathing became heavier and his lips opened, revealing his teeth.

If he was not the White Crane Boy, he would probably suspect that the masked man opposite him was also possessed and was the one who was invited.

At this moment, even the Yin God felt that this place was extremely evil.

Zhao Yi: "You can deduce a technique you haven't used before? Then the environment is not limited to this place. Did you kill someone during the fight for the broken jade and it was recorded?"

Li Zhuiyuan: “Yes.”

The people painted on the stone gate are all people who died in the fight for the broken jade.

Zhao Yi: "This place is really hard to understand."

As one of the nine secret realms, it must have its mysteries.

But Li Zhuiyuan was not thinking about this now. After the masked man used the Three-Step Praise and the Shadow Trident in succession, his judgment was consistent with Zhao Yi's.

The circumstances of death of those killed by him and others were recorded, that is, the moves used by him and others. All of these would be presented again by those hands in the form of Nuo opera puppets.

The good news is that he and his companions only killed one person in the last round of competition for the broken jade - Xu Yijin.

The bad news is, when I killed her... I went all out.

The special environment of the secret realm created this place, and the large number of black shadows here are also an inexhaustible raw material, which can be used by the hands to continuously pinch out Nuo opera puppets. It has been proven that it can enhance the strength of the Nuo opera puppet by superimposing the number of black shadows.

This means that if I don't interrupt the teaching in advance, then next, I will most likely face the most powerful moves of all the team members...

A collective outbreak in the opposite direction.

Li Zhuiyuan did not stop his actions. He diverted his attention and fixed his gaze on the White Crane Boy who was fighting with the "White Crane Boy" below.

The White Crane Boy was somewhat helpless against "himself", but he had obviously stopped his moves and no longer thought about a quick victory, because he could feel that the other party's aura was gradually fading, just like himself.

Obviously, although the other party's possession was fake, this fake thing also has a time limit.

This was easy to handle. Because he had just come down, he didn't know that the young man sitting behind him was imitating and learning. But he could see that since the young man only sent his medium to fight, and the others stayed behind to watch, he was naturally not in a hurry to get rid of his opponent.

Then... just wait patiently.

Li Zhuiyuan suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. The danger of teaching might come earlier and more severely than he had expected.

At this time, after another stalemate, the boy felt that it was almost time. His own breath had become weak, and so was the opponent's.

The boy took out three incense sticks, prepared to light them for himself, and continued the round comfortably.

However, just as he inserted the three incense sticks on his head, he was shocked to see the fake one opposite him taking out eight talisman needles with both hands!

White Crane Boy: “…”

There will be more at night, please give me a monthly ticket!
