I Am the Corpse King

  Chapter 2052 Hey, it’s time to get up (end)

  Times have changed, vicissitudes have passed, and hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye. The giant mountain that was once listed as a restricted area finally ushered in a group of young people who are not afraid of death as newborn calves.

   "Fly! Here! We are here!"

   "I'm going, where have you been? I finally saw you."

   After the two groups of young people who acted separately met, they almost cried with joy. There were seven people in this group, including men and women, five men and two women.

  Seeing that each other is still alive, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

   "Ran Qing, have you found the exit?" The young man called Hangfei but whose surname was unknown asked the companion named Ran Qing.

  The other party cried and shook his head when he heard the words, "No, we can't find the way we came here at all."

   "Fuck, what the **** kind of place is this, if I knew it, I would have listened to my uncle and wouldn't have come here!"

   "It's too late to regret now."

   "Who would have thought that I would encounter this monster..."

"Think of a way. I've been sleepy for almost a day. I'm almost out of food. If we can't find an exit, we'll all starve to death here!" A young woman in the line interjected, immediately silenced the atmosphere. .

The place they are in is a restricted area listed as the highest level by major cities, and there are often powerful ghouls in the restricted area. Now is the best season for spring hunting. The purpose of their coming here is to Hunt down an advanced ghoul.

   For this reason, the family sent a lot of strong people to help them hunt but also to ensure their safety.

   But I never expected that I would get lost with the elders in my family not long after I came here!

   The weirdest thing is that this is listed as one of the highest-level restricted areas. Since entering, let alone the high-level ghouls, I haven’t seen the lowest-level ghouls!

   On the contrary, I saw a lot of wild animals.

  In addition, along the way, I also saw many tombstones, almost all over the mountain, but these tombstones have existed for too long, and the names engraved on them are no longer clearly visible due to the erosion of the years.

  The atmosphere was dull for more than a minute, and a young man who looked a little thin said quietly: "Why don't you... try my body protection magic weapon? After all, my father paid a lot of money to get it."

  As soon as the voice fell, Zhao Hangfei said angrily: "Come on, keep your broken body armor away, your father must have been fooled by others!"

"My dad isn't that stupid!" Hearing someone slandering his father, the thin boy was very dissatisfied. The red feather is extremely bright in color, with clear texture and no trace of miscellaneous feathers. It is unknown what kind of creature left it. The root is decorated with colorful gemstones, which looks quite extraordinary.

   "Look, how beautiful this feather is."

   "Looking good has a fart."

Zhao Hangfei spoke very impolitely. Being trapped here for a long time, his mentality has also undergone some changes, but after he finished speaking, another young man beside him said: "Give it a try? What if it works? ?”

   "What are you trying to do? Instead of believing in those gods and ghosts, you might as well try your best to find the exit."

"Hangfei, you should rest. You have been looking for so long, and a dead horse is a living horse doctor." Ignoring Zhao Hangfei, the young man who spoke walked up to the thin boy, stretched out his hand, "take your body protection method give me the device."

The other party did not refuse, and quickly unlocked the lock on the root of the red feather, and handed it over carefully. The young man sized it up for a while, then shook his head, as if he was not very confident about this "protective weapon", but he still held it in his hand and ran to the place. front of the line.

  This young man's name is Qu Yunfei. He usually likes to read some books left over from ancient times. He is particularly interested in gods and ghosts.

  The situation that the team is now encountering seems to be very similar to the legendary ghost hitting the wall. The road was fine at first, but turned into a dense forest when I went back. This kind of thing cannot be explained at all!

  Maybe, the things in the books are true?

  Of course, this is Qu Yunfei's own guess. As for whether it can be solved according to the actions in the book, it's worth trying anyway.

   "Yunfei, do you really believe it?"

   "I'm just trying."

   "It's up to you." Ignoring the strange eyes of his companions, Qu Yunfei clasped his hands together, sandwiching Hong Yu in the middle, muttering something, looking like a magic stick!

   "I strayed into the Nine Nether Grottoes by accident, I have unintentional faults and mistakes, on the way back to hell, golden pigs and jade toads are placed on both sides, delicious food and drink for the stage, the gods and masters open the way~..."

  After a string of poems, Qu Yunfei walked crookedly on the Seven Star Steps, and walked forward a little bit. The people behind looked at each other, almost doubting life.

"What is this all about?" Some people wanted to laugh at Qu Yunfei's funny face, but they still held back. Seeing that guy going further and further away, everyone had to follow. Zhao Hangfei, who was originally dismissive of this, followed everyone. I went up, but also bit the bullet and hung at the end.

  This place is too weird, it's hard to say what if something happens to you.

   Qu Yunfei, who was walking in the front, was a little nervous. In fact, he was not confident in what he had learned. He was just out of interest. He could only hope that this magic weapon would be useful!

There are seven of them in a group, and the family behind each of them is not simple, and the elders are even less likely to be ordinary people. They should not spend hundreds of thousands to buy a feather that seems useless... This is just Qu Yunfei's conjecture. Is it useless? You won't be stuck here forever, will you?

   The one who was more nervous than Qu Yunfei was actually the skinny young man, because if this protective magic weapon is really useless, wouldn't it prove that his father is an idiot?

   Spread the word so that people can't laugh out loud?

  Because of Qu Yunfei's strange pace, the seven of them moved very slowly. Apart from the chirping of insects and birds in their ears, there were babbles from his mouth that seemed to read from heaven.

   Time passed by every minute and every second, and the road they traveled was getting longer and longer. At first, everyone didn't have hope, but gradually, someone discovered something was wrong!

   "Hey! We don't seem to have been here before!"

   "I'm really going!"

   "I rely on..."

  As the first person discovered that the environment became strange, others also discovered it one after another. Even Zhao Hangfei, who did not believe in ghosts and gods, showed surprise in his eyes.

  Hearing his companion's exclamation, Qu Yunfei's body trembled.

   Really useful?

  Under the surprise, there is more tension. As for why the tension? It was because he could hardly remember the words that followed, and the chanting in his mouth became slower.

   "Yunfei don't stop, keep going!"

  The emaciated young man noticed Qu Yunfei's abnormality, and quickly shouted. This shout made Qu Yunfei even more nervous! With this nervousness, I completely forgot the words that I could vaguely remember later!

"I…"

   "Don't stop! Keep reading!"

"right!"

  He stopped, faltering, and the people behind became more nervous.

   "I rely on Brother Qu, you can't do this! Read it quickly!"

   "Yeah, or it will disappear!"

   "..." Hearing the urgings of his companions one after another, Qu Yunfei felt hardened, and he simply started thinking nonsense.

"A pure heart is like water, clear water is the heart, there is no breeze, the waves are not disturbed, secluded... secluded, secluded? Guangxiu billions of kalpas...you sit alone, screaming and playing the piano... long? long... oh Amitabha bless, the emperor bless... bake Rat bless..."

The "spell" obviously became messy. Fortunately, the surrounding environment did not change as expected. A group of people walked towards the stone steps with different heights. Yes, it is a row of tombstones!

   This is a cemetery, there are at least a hundred of those tombstones, and not far from this cemetery, there is a clear small lake, and there is a faint figure on the edge of the small lake.

   "Someone!"

   "Is it alive?"

   "Brother Qu, stop reading."

   "..."

   Someone patted Qu Yunfei, and after the others looked at each other, it was Zhao Hangfei who bravely walked towards that person.

  The rest of the people followed him, walked through the cemetery, and looked at these tombstones curiously from time to time. Unlike the tombstones on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain, the names on the tombstones here are relatively clear and understandable.

   "Li Man, Li Beng, Ah Fu, Bai Huipeng..."

   "Chang Jinlun, Hazhen, Hong Heixin..."

   "Huang Quanjiu, Gert... Who are these people?"

"have no idea."

  The small lake is not far away, it didn't take long for Zhao Hangfei and the others to breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the figure on the lake.

   It's not a horrible existence, just an ordinary old man, just holding a fishing rod in one hand, with a dull expression, probably in his fifties or sixties.

   "Hey, old man!" Zhao Hangfei walked up to the old man, waved his hand in front of his eyes, and brought his spirit back.

   "Do you know how to get out from here?" Zhao Hangfei asked.

"have no idea."

  The old man's tone was very slow, with a lot of anger, and he only answered three words. After he finished speaking, his eyes returned to dull.

   "Why don't you know? You should be the gravekeeper here?"

  The old man didn't speak.

   "Hello, old man!"

Seeing the old man's dumbfounded look, the group became a little anxious, and the young man named Ran Qing immediately wanted to use his own method to solve the problem: "Old man, don't pretend to be confused, you know who we are..." Before he finished speaking, Zhao Hangfei winked , a girl next to her quickly covered Ran Qing's mouth!

Although they all come from big families, they are not all dudes who don't understand everything. The restricted area listed here is definitely not lost for no reason. The "ghost hitting the wall" they encountered just now can illustrate this point. As for why nothing happened until now?

  It is very likely that they have not touched the real danger yet!

   Don't let Ran Qing get into trouble!

After he calmed down, Zhao Hangfei looked at the old man again, and asked in a calm tone: "Old man, we just passed by here unintentionally, and we have been stuck here for almost twenty hours, and now our family outside may have been looking for us, if If you know how to get out, please let me know."

   Zhao Hangfei had already said this very politely, but the old man in front of him was already in a daze, and didn't look up.

   In desperation, Zhao Hangfei looked at another young man in front of Qu Yunfei, the two looked at each other, and immediately knew what to do.

  Try out the opponent's background first, and then come hard!

  How to test it?

   After some thought, a woman finally scanned the surrounding tombstones, and with a plan in mind, she came to Zhao Hangfei and said softly to the old man, "Old man, who are buried in those graves?"

   These words made the old man's eyes clear again. He glanced at the woman and spoke, but his tone was calm and indifferent: "The poor man who was killed because of a mistake."

  Hearing this question and answer, the woman looked at the young man, who immediately shouted: "Hey, a fish has bitten the hook!"

  With this sound, any fisherman would have to jump up, but the strange thing is, the old man didn't move at all, and kept his previous posture.

   When everyone looked into the lake, they were dumbfounded. The water in the lake was so clear that they couldn't see any fish at all!

  No fish, what is this old man fishing for?

  The woman looked at the other person again, and found that he was looking at her with a smile that was not a smile, and she entered a dull state after a while.

  After this time, no matter how they called him, the old man did not respond. They had no choice but to give up.

  Some people also thought about going straight to it, using force! But they dare not bet on the consequences of doing so, this is a joke with their own lives!

   "Old man?"

   "Old man!"

  After calling out several times, seeing that he still didn't respond, Zhao Hangfei simply waved his hand, ready to take someone out of here and find the exit by himself.

   Everyone felt a little unwilling, but in the end they could only sigh and followed Zhao Hangfei's pace.

   Before anyone could go too far, the old man suddenly spoke. His voice didn't sound like an old man's, with the unquestionable tone of a superior: "You can leave here if you want to, leave something behind."

"Um?"

   "What?" Everyone was stunned, what could they have on them? Apart from the guns used to kill the ghouls, there are only mobile phones and some belongings.

  Could it be...

  They had a bad idea in their hearts, but the next second they saw the old man stretch out a hand and pointed at Qu Yunfei: "It's on him."

   "Huh?" Qu Yunfei was stunned for a while, "Is there nothing on me?" Just as he spoke, he realized something, flashed out the red feather, and asked uncertainly, "This?"

  The old man didn't speak, he didn't even move his head, but moved his fingers slightly.

  Qu Yunfei understood, and hastily passed Hongyu over.

   "Can... is it okay?"

   "Go." Accepting Hong Yu, the old man responded flatly and returned to a dull state.

   "Is it really possible?" Seeing that he ignored him, the group was dubious, but everything must be practiced. In the end, Zhao Hangfei nodded to confirm, and decided to go and have a look first.

   Before moving, the old man regained consciousness and called them to stop again.

"Wait a moment."

"…What's up?"

   "Is this the time of peace and prosperity?"

  The old man's question caused several people to look at each other, and finally Zhao Hangfei said: "It's sort of."

   Whether the outside world is in a peaceful and prosperous world, he himself is not easy to answer, because for them, it is indeed a peaceful and prosperous world...

  The old man didn't ask any more questions, but just replied "Oh" lightly, and then there was no movement.

  The people didn't dare to wait any longer, and hurried down the stone steps. The mountain road in front of them went straight down. The eyes of each of them lit up, from walking to running, and then to running wildly. Finally, they saw their elders!

   "What did you guys do, how many times did you tell me before you came? Don't go to the top of the mountain! A group of people who are not afraid of death! Go back and ground me for a month! Go!"

   "We didn't expect it either, there is no way to go up and down."

Snapped!

   "Shut up! Don't talk!"

   "..."

   "What's on top of the mountain?"

Snapped!

   "Tell me to shut up!"

   Seeing the serious but terrified expressions on the faces of their elders, a group of young people wisely stopped talking. They looked at each other, thankful that they made the right choice!

After they left, he suddenly felt the red feather twitching in the palm of his hand, and the old man's sluggish eyes regained clarity. He raised his hand and slowly loosened his five fingers. The red feather that was about one finger long in his hand turned into a A red-feathered bird, its feathers glisten in the sun like a mass of rubies.

   Tang Ye was stunned, and finally noticed a scar on the top of its head, which was bald and no longer hairy. His long-standing memory was awakened, and he remembered it! The red-feathered bird that led the way back then was bitten by a poisonous spider on the way, leaving this scar, which is exactly the same!

   "You...you didn't lie to me...hehehehahahaha~" There was a trembling smile in her tone, but the tears couldn't stop flowing.

  As if to comfort himself, the red-feathered bird circled for a while, and finally nestled on his shoulder, gently touching his neck with its small head.

  The "monolith" on the side suddenly opened his eyes, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a huge dragon head! After realizing that there was only a small red tufting finch beside his master, black smoke spewed out from each nostril, and he closed his eyes again.

  It may be that a posture has been maintained for a long time, making it feel a little uncomfortable, so it is adjusted.

   But with one move, the mountain was changed in shape!

  …

   Woo~woo~

  The sound of the train humming became louder and louder, and she felt that the rails were trembling, but she didn't want to get up, she just wanted to lie down like this, the rails kept her body warm.

   "Hey, it's time to get up."

  Feeling a figure appearing in front of her, blocking the sun, she had no choice but to open her eyes, and saw Li Henian standing in front of her, stretching out a hand to herself, looking like she wanted to pull herself up.

  But she didn't take the hand, and said with a wry smile: "Don't torture me, let me die."

  Hearing this, Li Henian withdrew his hands, put his hands in his pockets, faced the sun, and sighed: "Why aren't you Lu Xiaojie?"

   "You go to her, not me, I can't stand it."

  …

   End.
