"What? Corpse people?!" Mo Lingyan and Bai Qishan were shocked after being called by Xie Xuanyang to hear the incident, "You, you mean that the entire Cen family is... all?"

Although they have become monks, they are still young people after all, and they can't calm down for a while in the face of this kind of thing.They couldn't imagine that those seemingly normal Cen family members were all dead.

The two were so frightened that they knocked the tea in their hands to the ground.

"But, but this is not right." Mo Lingyan's Adam's apple rolled, swallowing the horror that surged in his heart, "They are different from the corpses we have seen before. Didn't you say that the corpses are unconscious, and their actions are all based on instinct ?"

"That's right." Unlike the two of them who were so frightened that they didn't even dare to touch the tea on the table, Xie Xuanyang calmly poured himself a cup of tea, "But that's a corpse, and the Cen's family is all corpses if nothing else." people."

The difference between a living corpse and a corpse is just a letter, but in essence they are very different.The living corpse, the living person is not dead, the living soul is stripped.Corpse man, life is gone, and the soul of the dead returns to the body.

If it is said that the living corpse acts on instinct, then the corpse has no instinct.Their bodies are already dead, without temperature and blood, and they cannot heal from injuries. They are real corpses.Corpsemen can move because of their souls locked in dead bodies.

But once a person dies, the soul becomes a dead soul.Although the dead soul can move while being locked in the body, the body still rots as usual, unable to eat or drink, and unable to do all the same things as ordinary people.

As the saying goes, the body is dead, but the consciousness remains.

"The question now is how long this Cen family has been like this." Xie Xuanyang said, "How long have they been corpses?"

It's good that these Cen family members are new corpses, as long as they borrow the method of mortal Taoists and corpse exorcisers, they can be eliminated.If these are more than a hundred years old, it will be troublesome, and a charm made of cinnabar containing aura must be used together with a large formation to exorcise evil spirits.But if it's a thousand years...

Thinking of this, Xie Xuanyang's eyes darkened, and the hand holding the cup couldn't help but clenched tightly, cracking the cup.

If it is a thousand years, these corpses will not be able to be dealt with by humans, even monks can't kill them with Mahayana magic weapons.Their dead souls are sealed in every part of the corpses, even if their corpses are destroyed, they will be led by their souls to get up again under the dark energy of the night.

The only way is to open the gate of Huangquan and send them to Huangquan Road, where they will be dealt with by those who come from the underworld.

Xie Xuanyang closed his eyes and exhaled deeply, rubbing his temples, "It doesn't matter so much. Miss An will be brought into the ancestral hall again tonight, and we will follow behind. Be careful, the corpses of the whole family have gathered here, there must be a big murderer here land. If you are not careful, you will die."

The two nodded repeatedly and said yes, they also knew the seriousness of it, and for the highly cultivated Xie Xuanyang to say such a thing, the danger level under the seemingly harmonious and peaceful surface here is probably no less than the secret realm in the world of cultivating immortals.

Bai Qishan's face turned pale suddenly, and he cursed secretly, "The ancestral hall! Brother Feng Feng said this morning that he was going to visit this villa, but he was lured to the ancestral hall by the Cen family!"

Mo Lingyan was startled, "Where is Senior Brother now?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen him until now." Bai Qishan frowned, "Isn't something wrong with him? I said why the Cen family would let people into the family ancestral hall casually. It's really disturbing." kindly."

"Don't panic." Xie Xuanyang said, "Brother Pop is already a golden core, even if they want to attack him, they can't easily hurt him."

Even if this Cen family is a thousand-year-old corpse, it can't be done.Although corpses are harder to deal with the longer they exist, they are just hard to destroy. If it is said that the lethality is really not as good as that of monks, unless they have some special magic weapon to help them, they will not be able to hurt the monks in the foundation stage. .

Pop is no longer a monk in the foundation stage. When he met them a few years ago, he was already a monk in the heartbeat stage. After returning from the mission of Lucao, he made a leap forward.Jindan's cultivation base has reached the level of accepting apprentices in other sects, and he is a swordsman. Ordinary monks can't do anything to him, let alone a corpse.

Reminded by Xie Xuanyang, the two also remembered that Feng's cultivation was much higher than theirs, and even if something happened, they would not be able to help them.Besides, he still wears the life-saving jade pendant bestowed by Daoist Qingxiao on his body, and no one can take it except his fellow disciples.With this fall, if one dies, one can save one's life, and Daoist Qingxiao will know and come immediately.

This also applies to Mo Lingyan.Mo Lingyan's cultivation level is not high, but he is also a disciple of Daoist Qingxiao, and he has a life-saving jade pendant with him.But Bai Qishan is different, he and Xie Xuanyang are both outer disciples, without a master, the life-saving jade pendant bestowed by the master is definitely not there.

Mo Lingyan also thought of this, snorted twice and said that he wanted Bai Qishan to follow him, and don't run around and get lost.His life-saving jade pendant can save more than one person, as long as Bai Qishan doesn't shake his life, he can't lose his life.

Hearing the cheap tone, Bai Qishan became furious, and wanted to grab Mo Lingyan's hair and press his face against the wall, and then slapped him hard to drool.

Although Mo Lingyan made Bai Qishan very upset, there was nothing wrong with what he said.Bai Qishan never joked about his own life, so at night he could only follow Mo Lingyan with a stinky face.

Several people squatted outside An Ran's room, sneaking around like thieves.

Xie Xuanyang hid in the grass with the two of them, wanting to touch his forehead and sigh several times.He swore he'd never done anything like this in his entire life.He didn't know why the two of them wanted to hide in the grass, and they were so nervous that they insisted on wearing night clothes and covering their faces.

With their cultivation base enough to cover their whereabouts, even if they wear white robes of disciples of the Heavenly Title Sect, as long as there are no monks above Foundation Establishment, they will never be discovered.

"My legs are numb, why haven't they come?" After squatting for an unknown how long, Mo Lingyan wrinkled her face, grinned and pinched her legs, "Oh my god, I can't feel my legs anymore."

"Idiot!" Bai Qishan slapped away Mo Lingyan's pinching hand, "Why are you pinching my leg? Don't touch me."

Mo Lingyan was taken aback by the beating, and hastily withdrew his hand, seeing that the back of his hand was red. "Are you a woman? Squeeze your legs and slap someone. It sounds like I'm trying to take advantage of you. It's just a wrong pinch."

"Hush—" Bai Qishan wanted to say something else, but Xie Xuanyang stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture, and said in a low voice, "They are here."

There were more than one or two people, all wearing strange clothes.Xie Xuanyang read the documents when he stayed at the third prince's mansion, and these seemed to be Beichen's costumes a long time ago, now only occasionally worn by the elders of a respectable family during royal celebrations.

A group of mighty people, half of them are female relatives.These female relatives all wear huge golden hollow hair crowns on their heads, which are especially golden in the dark night. There are several clusters of gold tassels hanging from their hair crowns. The tails of the tassels are decorated with blue beads, emitting a faint dark light. It looks like a floating will-o'-the-wisp.

The female relatives walked into An Ran's house, and soon came out with the gorgeously dressed An Ran in their arms.

At this time, An Ran was dressed more colorfully than yesterday, more like a bride.She was dressed in red, with golden phoenix patterns embroidered on her clothes, and on her head was a phoenix crown decorated with many red glass and orbs. Her face was even more indescribably hazy than yesterday.

If the royal family found out about this set of outfits, their heads would definitely be beheaded, which would be treasonous.In any country, only the mother of the country can wear it.

Several people followed behind them quietly. The road to the ancestral hall was very long, and the group of people didn't even mention a lamp along the way.The road was fine at the beginning, and there were lighted silk lanterns on both sides of the road, but after walking for a certain distance, there were fewer and fewer silk lanterns, and the light became darker and darker. The last one disappeared, and they walked directly in the black lights. .

Fortunately, Xie Xuanyang and the others are all monks, and their night vision ability is far superior to that of ordinary people, otherwise they would have lost track of them long ago.

"Now I completely believe that they are not human." Mo Lingyan said in a low voice, "How can a mortal who is not a monk walk freely in this kind of light? Now there is no moonlight."

"So you didn't believe what Xuan Yang said before?" Bai Qishan gave him a blank look.

"It's just a metaphor." Mo Lingyan said, pursing her lips.

Bai Qishan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and stared at the group of people entering the ancestral hall. Seeing that Xie Xuanyang was sure they were safe, he gestured to them, dragged Mo Lingyan, and followed Xie Xuanyang into the Cen family ancestral hall.

After entering the ancestral hall, a stench came over their faces, and several people were almost so smoked that they screamed out.

"What's the smell?" Mo Lingyan felt nauseated and wanted to vomit.

"Corpse stinks." Xie Xuanyang said while covering his nose with one hand.

It was also the first time he had smelled such a strong smell.Although the uncles in his family do work similar to corpse exorcising, they seldom encounter this kind of smell. The most common one is the thick and terrible smell of blood.

"Such a strong smell of corpses? This is not an ancestral hall, it's simply a mortuary." Mo Lingyan pinched his nose, his voice muffled, "I don't see this smell in any burial shop."

"Don't tell me." Bai Qishan looked around for a while, pointing to a place not far away, "Maybe this is really a mortuary."

The two looked towards where Bai Qishan pointed.There were countless coffins there, lined up so neatly that it made people panic.Looking back from the coffin, there is a large pile of white bones. It is impossible to tell whether they are human bones or animal bones, but based on their intuition, they are all human bones.

"Oops!" Xie Xuanyang's face suddenly darkened, "Evil eyes!"
