Chapter 173 Sad!
"Breathing!!"
It wasn't just Jiang Ran who saw it.
Ruan Yuqing also discovered something strange about the corpse.
His face turned pale for a moment, and he pulled Jiang Ran's arm to retreat.
After a few tugs but it didn't move, she immediately let go of her hand and swished out a foot away.
Just kidding...
Jiang Ran's martial arts skills are incredible, he is not afraid of anything.
But I am afraid.
Jiang Ran glanced back at her, somewhat speechless:
"Miss Ruan, isn't this a bit unjust?"
Ruan Yuqing took a deep breath and tightened the soft water sword in her hand:
"Don't worry, if you are really being raped, If the zombie eats it, I will definitely save you!"
"..."
How can I save you if you've already been eaten?
This Soft Water Sword is good everywhere, but its fear of ghosts is the same as Tang Huayi's.
It seems that no matter whether they are on the right path or the devil's path, before that, they are still a woman first.
Jiang Ran shook his head slightly, and his eyes fell on the corpse again. Looking carefully, he found that he must have read it correctly.
The corpse's chest rose and fell, its limbs swayed slightly, and it really seemed like it was breathing.
It's just that this corpse has been here for an unknown number of years, although it was preserved through special methods and was not completely rotten.
But it has long been shriveled and dark, like a thousand-year-old deadwood.
How could such a corpse be breathing?
After Jiang Ran pondered for a while, he slowly came to the front, took out the deerskin gloves from his arms, put them on, and stretched out his hand to check the state of the body.
Ruan Yuqing felt his scalp was numb after taking a look at it:
"Young Master Jiang... be careful."
Jiang Ran didn't look back, checking the state of the body bit by bit.
But his expression became more and more weird:
"How could this happen?"
"What did you find?"
Ruan Yuqing couldn't help but be curious, afraid and didn't want to look, but couldn't help but cast a glance.
Jiang Ran said softly:
"This corpse... looks rotten, but there is something else inside.
"People are dead, but... but..."
He seemed not to know what words to use to describe it for a moment. .
After thinking for a long time, he said:
"But the body is still alive. "
"? ? ?
Ruan Yuqing felt that her mind had been bullied to a certain extent:
"What do you mean? " It’s even scarier! ! "
The person is dead but the body is alive. Isn't this a zombie?
Jiang Ran shook his head:
"That's not what I mean... He is a bit like a vegetative state. "
Ah?" "
Ruan Yuqing found this word, which made people even more confused.
Jiang Ran seemed to have discovered some strange stories. Looking at the corpse, his face was full of interest.
He thought for a while and said:
"How should I give it to you? The explanation...
"Everything in the world is alive, every flower and tree has its own vitality.
" You and I are born as human beings, with our own thoughts and ideas, and with vigorous vitality, we can walk freely in the world.
"The grass and trees are in autumn, although they can't walk, they can't leave the ground.
"But there is also life force inside.
"And this corpse... is an existence that has no thoughts and cannot leave this place, but has vitality inside.
"It's like a flower or a tree..."
"You mean, this corpse is the essence of vegetation. ! ? "
Ruan Yuqing obviously has his own understanding.
"..."
Jiang Ran shook his head:
"I think he should have been a normal person, but I don't know what he did to become what he is now.
"His breathing is not real breathing. It's just like the lush vegetation and its own rules.
"The ups and downs of the corpse's chest are its rules..."
When he said this, he looked at the beads in the hands of the corpse. .
He pondered slightly, took out a piece of cotton cloth from his arms, covered the bead, and wiped it gently. He
said to Ruan Yuqing:
"Do you think this bead is the key to the indestructibility of his body? After I took the bead, he turned into ashes? "
How did I know..."
Ruan Yuqing watched Jiang Ran fiddle with the corpse for a long time, but the corpse didn't jump up and give him two big-eared posts, so he felt a little bolder. He slowly
walked towards Jiang Ran and stared at it. That bead, frowning slightly:
"I seem to have seen this bead somewhere..." "
Oh? Jiang Ran was stunned: "
Where have you seen it?" Ruan
Yuqing didn't say anything. He stared at the bead carefully for a moment and then said softly:
"Hide the stars in your heart and pick up the stars in the dust."
"This...I've seen it in a book.
" There is a record in the [Record of Rare Treasures] that when the Jin Chan Dynasty was founded, strange rocks once fell from the sky.
"It fell where the capital is today... An alchemist opened the stone and took out a bead.
"This bead contains stars, as if the stars in the sky have fallen dust.
"So it's named 'Luo Xing Bead'!
"There was an illustration in the book, and this one looks very similar to the Luo Xing Bead in the illustration...
"But the Luo Xing Bead has always been collected by Qin Tianjian. There is no reason for it to appear here."
"What if someone from the Qintian Prison brought it?"
Jiang Ran said softly,
"Do you think the official who died here was someone from the Qintian Prison?
"And when they came here...is it possible that they just wanted to find this man's tomb? "
This guess seems to be a bit far-fetched.
But if this is really the Falling Star Bead, then this guess may not be unfounded.
Ruan Yuqing nodded lightly and saw that Jiang Ran had reached out and pulled out the bead.
"Eh? Aren't you afraid that the body will turn into ashes? Ruan
Yuqing was stunned.
Jiang Ran shook his head:
"If this is indeed the Falling Star Bead that was brought here seven or eight years ago, it means that the method of preserving the body from decay has nothing to do with it..."
Ruan Yuqing looked at the bead in Jiang Ran's hand, and then at it Looking at the corpse, there was no change at all, and then he nodded:
"It has nothing to do with it, and in this way, it can be further confirmed that this object is the Falling Star Bead."
Jiang Ran held the bead and said:
"This thing has What's the use?"
"If it's the Falling Star Bead... It's said that this thing has miraculous effects. Putting it in drinking water can make ordinary water have the effect of detoxification. "If someone uses this thing to stimulate internal energy, it will be useful for treating injuries
. Has great gain.
"Wearing this thing all the year round can also prolong your life.
" However, the people in the Qin Tianjian used this thing to observe the stars at night. They believed that no matter how good the things from heaven were, they should not be placed around the emperor. After all, it is unpredictable. Who will Do you know if today’s benefits will be tomorrow’s poison? "
Ruan Yuqing is knowledgeable. He spoke eloquently. Although he may not be able to explain everything about the falling star bead, he still explained everything.
After Jiang Ran wiped it clean with cotton cloth, He looked at the corpse again.
Finally, he reached out and took the lid of the coffin aside and placed it on the ground.
Then he looked at the child in the coffin who looked to be only seven or eight years old.
His face was black and his limbs were smaller in proportion. , but the head is big and very uncoordinated.
"This is a deformity..."
Jiang Ran frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to get the body.
Ruan Yuqing also followed him to look around.
However, at this moment, Ruan Yuqing's His eyes suddenly widened:
"Open your eyes! ! "
Huh? " "
Jiang Ran lowered his head and took a look. Sure enough, the corpse in the coffin opened its eyes.
A pair of eyes were full of blood. He stretched out his hands and grabbed Jiang Ran's wrist.
"How reckless! "
Jiang Ran snorted coldly, and with a turn of the Brahma Vajra Technique, a stream of light flickered between the palms of his fingers.
The child's hand could only stop three inches in front of Jiang Ran's wrist, and he could no longer move forward!
You know? Unable to take down Jiang Ran, he suddenly reached out and slapped the coffin, and his body was about to get out of the coffin.
How could Jiang Ran allow him to leave?
When his eyes were closed just now, Jiang Ran was still He still couldn't figure out whether he was dead or alive.
Now that he dared to attack himself when he opened his eyes, Jiang Ran could clearly see clearly that this person was not dead at all, but a living person!
All the weird things here, and this person There is absolutely no way to get rid of it. He
immediately used his five fingers to explore and reached straight for his heart, wanting to hold it in his palm.
But at this moment, Jiang Ran frowned slightly. Although the wind was weak, he could still hear it clearly. There was a breaking wind The sound lingered around.
There seemed to be something coming with the wind in the air.
"It's a thread!" "
Jiang Ran's heart moved, and he pulled Ruan Yuqing to his side who was about to draw his sword. In a flash, he was already rising into the sky. His
feet stepped on one after another, and a stream of aura rose into the sky, forming a statue.
The body. The shape fell steadily into the air, and what he stepped on was a thin line with an almost invisible trace. Looking up, he
saw the child's figure rushing to the edge of the high platform, and there was a person stepping on it. Come.
He reached out and held the child in his arms, and asked repeatedly:
"Tou'er, Tou'er, are you okay? "
The child tilted his head and looked at the person, then lay in his arms and cried loudly.
The sound was shrill and tragic, like the wail of ghosts.
Jiang Ran looked at the person thoughtfully and sighed softly:
" Dad, it is indeed you. "
The person who came was naturally no one else, it was the rickety old man.
But he turned a blind eye to Jiang Ran, gently patted the back of the child in his arms, and comforted softly:
"It's okay, it's okay, daddy is here, daddy is here, there is nothing to be afraid of. .
"No one can hurt you..."
"The beads were robbed."
The child raised his head at this time and said in a rough and dry voice:
"Beads... were robbed!"
Hearing this, the rickety old man said, He immediately looked at Jiang Ran, his eyes full of sternness:
"Give back my son's Falling Star Bead!!"
"Is this really the Falling Star Bead?"
Jiang Ran raised the one in his hand. Zhuzi chuckled:
"So, the people who died here were really from Qintian Prison?" "
What does this have to do with you?"
The rickety old man looked at Jiang Ran and gritted his teeth:
"You shouldn't come here. ... I had no ill intentions towards you.
"You rushed in and disturbed our father and son. It's obviously your fault... "
Why do you still want to snatch my son's Falling Star Bead?
"He, he can only survive by relying on this." Got it!
"Hand over the Falling Star Bead, otherwise, I will make you two into 'Sorrow'!"
"Sadness?"
Jiang Ran's expression was a little strange:
"What is sadness? The greatest sadness in all time?"
"Sadness..."
The eyes of the rickety old man seemed to be in a trance. After being stunned for a moment, he said:
"Sorrow, sadness is medicine!
"
"This medicine can help you live forever!!"
When he said this, he didn't give Jiang Ran a chance to react. He just laughed wildly and said,
"Jin Chan's dog emperor is dying soon and wants this medicine.
" "I and I My wife...my wife...she surrendered to the imperial court in order to save me, Chu'er.
"They borrowed our Kanyu secret skills to search for the dragon's acupoints, hoping to find the treasure of the demon sect in the past. "
We, we also tried our best to help them find it...
"But they didn't keep their promise!
"They said we were shady. The Earth Mouse, being able to serve the Tian Family is already a sign of merit from his ancestors.
"Delusionally trying to get the Fallen Star Bead is a way to die.
" "They... they cut off my wife's flesh and blood piece by piece, and took her life in front of me."
"They want to kill my son!
"Tou'er, tou'er...! "
When the rickety old man said this, he hugged the child tightly in his arms.
It seemed that only in this way could he be able to settle down. He breathed a long sigh of relief and suddenly looked at Jiang Ran:
"Hand over the Luo Xing Bead, and you and I will be on the same page.
"You can go wherever you want, I will take you with me. Is it okay for my son to leave?
"If you feel it's not enough, I can also help you with things... I, I'm good at killing people.
"There is a Thousand Bells and Ten Thousand Ren Formation outside that I have set up, and as many of those people come as they come, they will die!
"As long as you promise me to return the Luo Xingzhu to my son, I will kill as many people as you want me to do for you!!" He
spoke incoherently, and his narration was also somewhat confusing.
However, Jiang Ran and Ruan Yuqing looked at each other and understood.
The Demonic Cult has a precious medicine that can lead to immortality if you take it.
I don’t know whether this is true or not, but the emperor of the Jin Chan Dynasty believed it.
But it is obviously not easy to find this precious medicine.
The people of the Qintian Prison spent all their resources on this, but they couldn't get it...
In order to save his son, the rickety old man in front of him surrendered to the imperial court with his wife, and used the secret secret technique of Kanyu to find medicine for the late emperor.
The reason why he is the former emperor is because the current emperor ascended the throne five years ago.
Judging from the year, it was the late emperor who was looking for this treasure at that time.
And they did gain something.
Maybe they will find this location now.
According to the requirements, what they want is most likely the Luo Xing Bead from Qin Tian Jian.
But he didn't expect that when things came to a head, Luo Xingzhu wouldn't give it to him, and even killed his wife.
In his anger, he realized what happened seven or eight years ago.
It's just... there are still a few things here that are elusive.
For example, if the late emperor was looking for treasure medicine, how could he give up on Qiuciyi so easily?
What happened back then that ultimately led to today’s results?
These things are difficult to catch up with as time passes, and the rickety old man in front of him has already had mental problems. Reality and illusion are confused, and it is not so easy to figure it out.
But what is certain at present is that this place is indeed the work of the Demon Cult.
As for the so-called treasure...
Jiang Ran's eyes fell on the corpse on the lid of the coffin on one side.
I sighed inwardly.
It is indeed the most tragic thing in all time!
"It turns out that it's not a martial art at all... but a cruel technique in the Eighteen Heaven Demon Record.
"You can forcibly refine living people into medicine! Ruan
Yuqing also understood the key and showed compassion:
"The Demon Sect really does everything. "
But if that's true..."
Jiang Ran's voice came: "Why didn't he come to save his son?" "
Ruan Yuqing was stunned and couldn't answer for a moment.
Judging from the old man's arrangement, although this so-called 'treasure medicine' may not be able to live forever, it obviously also has some special powers. Otherwise, why bother using
Luoxing? The bead was sealed in the mouth of the 'Precious Medicine'? The
liquid on the bead they had seen before was probably the key to the child's survival.
As the thoughts in his mind were turning, Jiang Ran said softly:
"Your wife..." Was he really killed by them? "
His voice was not loud, but the moment he said it, Ruan Yuqing's whole brain roared loudly. He
suddenly raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him.
He saw fear on his face, and suddenly raised his right hand, and there was a sudden sound in the void. There were sporadic sounds.
Jiang Ran didn't move at all. No matter how shrouded the threads were, none of them could cut into his protective dharma.
The rickety old man frowned slightly. He knew that with his own strength in this fight. With his abilities, it was absolutely impossible to take down Jiang Ran.
He immediately hugged his son, turned around and left.
"I'll make peace with you now. Where are you going, father-in-law?" "
Buzz! Buzz!
The sound of breaking wind suddenly came from the void, and the threads that were wrapped around Jiang Ran and had not been cut into pieces suddenly turned against each other.
The old man rolled up, and after standing up, he suddenly raised his head. He looked at Jiang Ran.
When their eyes met, he saw a flash of blood in the old man's eyes.
Ruan Yuqing also saw these eyes, and for a moment he felt as if he had stepped into the Shura Tao.
As far as the eye could see It was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. In the sea of blood, a big hand slowly stretched out and enveloped it between the five fingers.
At the same time, the old man's figure had already arrived in front of Jiang Ran and Ruan Yuqing.
With a look of the five fingers, He wanted to get the Falling Star Bead in Jiang Ran's palm.
But he didn't expect that at the moment he was about to touch it, Jiang Ran suddenly turned his hand, and the Falling Star Bead disappeared immediately. Then he
thrust out his palm.
There was a bang. Bang!
The old man's body was immediately knocked upside down. Jiang Ran pulled Ruan Yuqing and stepped forward to capture him. The
child who had been held in the old man's arms suddenly jumped out and faced Jiang Ran. The tiger's mouth is just one bite.
He has a strange phenomenon. His teeth are as sharp as saws. Once the steel teeth are sharpened, he can bite off the palm of his hand.
Jiang Ran frowned slightly, his sleeves flew up, and with a buzz, the child was immediately knocked away. Go out.
He turned around in mid-air, but suddenly fell down to the old man's shoulder:
"I didn't grab it! ! "
Let's go! " "
Since he is not his opponent and cannot get back the Fallen Star Bead, he naturally leaves as soon as possible.
Although the child does not know, the old man knows that the people outside are about to catch up.
However, it is already too late to leave at this time.
Continuous The sound of footsteps and figures appeared in the underground space.
The leader was Dao Wuming, and the other was naturally Tang Huayi.
As soon as Tang Huayi looked up, he saw Jiang Ran holding Ruan Yuqing, and he was furious:
"We are here You are fighting to death outside, but I didn’t expect you to actually have a secret meeting with Ruan Yuqing here! ! "
Everyone looked at her after hearing this and thought to themselves, how can you have a private meeting in such a ghost place?
