Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 302 The living dead, flesh and bones

Clusters of grotesquely shaped stalactites on the top of the cave emit dim and distorted light amidst the flickering flames and weird black mist.

The wolf-headed torches around the altar sizzled and emitted wisps of smoke, making the cave more eerie and unreal.

Everyone has never seen such a strange and infiltrating place, and when they think of those monsters, they all hold their weapons nervously, and huddle together near the rope ladder to look around.

"God, there is such a big open space under Tianqi Mountain!"

"It has never been recorded in the history books. Where is this place? Alas, we have broken into the underworld..."

"Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense, we're not dead yet!"

"..."

Everyone was discussing in low voices, they all looked at Fang Yao and Fan Chen eagerly, waiting for them to speak.

Fang Yao heard these words clearly, and she couldn't help but looked up at the pothole, secretly glad that the weird and distorted light black mist was just floating above the cave.

Otherwise, when these people come down and see their companions with distorted faces, they might really think that they have gone to hell, and it is estimated that many people will be scared out of something.

"We need to find that woman as soon as possible."

Fan Chen walked up to Fang Yao, took out the hanging mirror from his inner pocket and handed it to her.

"hiss……"

As soon as Fang Yaofu touched the hanging mirror, a gust of cold air came from his fingertips, and fine water vapor emerged from his fingertips!
She lowered her eyes, and saw that the inexplicably broken fine lines on the mirror surface were still there, and there was a faint cloud of white mist wandering around inside.

"This is... a white Gu worm?"

Fang Yao immediately raised her head to look at Fan Chen, only to realize that the other's lips were slightly pale, and it was astonishingly frozen by the hanging mirror that restrained the white Gu worm!
Fan Chen nodded, "She discovered the hanging mirror my mother left me, and secretly used the white Gu worm, what a pity..."

The corner of his mouth twitched, "She didn't expect that Xuan Jing and I are born to be incompatible with each other, and cannot be tamed and fused. Whether it is black Gu or white Gu, they can only be imprisoned in the mirror."

At this time, both of them were standing near the stone steps of the altar, and the others did not dare to get too close to the side, as there was still some distance from them.

Fang Yao pursed her lips, turned her head to look behind her, then lowered her voice: "After being possessed by a white Gu insect, will your temperament change drastically? So you hid in the hut and painted little red dots behind your ears. Pretend you don't know me?"

After pulling Fan Chen's ears in the latrine that day, she soon discovered that there were some cinnabar red marks on her fingers, and she immediately understood that Fan Chen was acting.

When she returned to the room, she found another note in her purse that said "she is afraid of heat". After thinking about it, she quietly placed several braziers in the carriage...

In order not to startle the snake, she didn't tell anyone.

Fan Chen gave a soft "Yeah": "When I was pretending to be unconscious, I heard a few words from that woman. Both the white Gu and the black Gu can bring the dead back to life, but the effects are not the same. One can only revive the dead, and the other can only revive the dead." Only meat and bones."

"Living dead, flesh and bones..."

Fang Yao's gaze on the hanging mirror became nothingness, she murmured and repeated Fan Chen's words, countless images flashed in her mind.

Suddenly, she raised her head abruptly, and Fan Chen standing in front of her lowered her eyes. Even if she was covered by a mask, the latter could still see the light in her shining eyes under the mask.

Fan Chen's chest jumped slightly, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

"I guess a possibility..."

Fang Yao thought about it, "Ink Gu worms can quickly restore the injured body, just like me...and those plague monsters before, after being attacked by ordinary attacks, the wounds will heal quickly, so it is flesh and bones."

She spoke faster and faster, with uncontrollable excitement in her low voice, "but the white gu worms are different, they make the dead people's consciousness come back to life...well, come back to life, just like the Lord Yiping, But the body can't repair it very well."

Fan Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, some of Fang Yao's words made him feel fresh, but he could understand them.

His voice was even lower: "Yaoyao, you are so smart, actually... I suspect that there is something wrong with that woman's health, and she has not even dared to approach Shuxuan Hall in the past two years."

Fang Yao's little heart skipped a beat, Shuxuan Palace was the cold palace that everyone in the palace was talking about, and it was also the former residence of Fan Chen's mother.

The emperor who has some kind of "talisman" dares to enter, but the national teacher who has so many black and white Gu insects dare not step in...

She instantly thought of the Yiping County Lord who broke his head but insisted on following him to Tianqi Mountain!

A strange thought emerged from Fang Yao's heart.

"You mean, she's here to..."

Her voice gradually lowered, Fan Chen looked at her, and the two could see from each other's eyes that they had the same guess in their hearts!
Fang Yao clenched the cold hanging mirror tightly in her hand, "You are right, we have to find that woman as soon as possible!"

It's just that it's easier said than done to catch the thief first.

There are many dark caves in Tianqi Mountain's underground karst caves, and they don't have much time left.

The hanging mirror is damaged, and the body of the "living dead" possessed by white Gu worms has no heartbeat or breathing at all, just like the Yiping County Lord, if it is not close, Fang Yao can smell a little strange smell, Fang Yao would not be able to detect it at all arrive.

"Should we divide into several teams and search everywhere?"

Fan Chen looked at the darkness in the distance, frowned, and asked in a low voice.

His voice was not loud, but apart from the tense and suppressed breathing of people on the altar, it was very quiet.

When everyone heard this, their faces became more and more ugly, and many people became nervous. The servant of the Ministry of Rites boldly asked: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate to separate..."

The words of the minister of the Ministry of Rites reached the hearts of most people. Those monsters can blow people's heads off with a single claw. Without Master Fang's restraint, who would dare to walk around...

Everyone wanted to be with Fang Yao, and didn't want to be the unlucky one who was separated.

Suddenly, the second young master of the Duke's Mansion stomped his feet severely, and said: "I'm afraid of being separated, my young master..."

"Shh-"

Fang Yao made a silent gesture, and everyone immediately clenched their weapons and looked around nervously.

"Don't talk, let me listen carefully."

A familiar heartbeat suddenly became stronger!
She began to pace slowly along the edge of the altar.

The fully repaired mask has a clearer perception of the plague monster. As long as you concentrate and listen carefully, you can perceive the strange heartbeat and breathing hidden in various dark holes, as well as the distance and orientation of the two sides.

That increased heartbeat is in the dark cave in the north!
But the next moment, the heartbeat gradually weakened and even disappeared!
Fang Yao hurriedly counted again carefully. She counted it before, and there were sixteen heartbeats, but now it has become fifteen!

There was one, gone!
Is it possible... these plague monsters will also fight among themselves? ? ?
Just as she was wondering, the next moment, the sound of heartbeat disappeared again!
Fang Yao froze for a moment, something flashed in his mind.

"north!"

She drew out the Shangfang sword behind her back and walked towards the stone steps first.
