Chen Yulou took the opportunity to tell everyone about the legend of the Xiangxi Corpse King.
In the deep mountains and forests of the Mengdong River basin, although the Five Poisons were prevalent and extremely dangerous, there were also all kinds of rare and precious herbs.
Especially inside Bottle Mountain, it was blessed by the heavens and earth to produce some unique and rare medicinal herbs.
Therefore, since ancient times, there were often herb farmers who were not afraid of danger and went up the mountain to pick herbs.
From there, many strange stories were spread.
The most famous one was the legend of the Xiangxi Corpse King!
It was said that in this Bottle Mountain, there were often cases of herb farmers disappearing. No one knew why.
Until one time, when the two brothers went into Bottle Mountain to pick herbs, one of them luckily escaped.
From then on, rumors about the Xiangxi Corpse King spread.
It was said that there was a black-faced zombie that had become a spirit hidden in the cracks of the mountain.
This zombie was wearing a purple robe, a gold belt around his waist, and leather boots. He was tall and sturdy, and had boundless strength. He dared to come out in broad daylight and hurt people.
It usually hid in the cracks and caves deep in Bottle Mountain.
If anyone ventured deep into the Bottle Mountain, it would sense them and fly over quickly. It would directly capture the person, eat them, and suck their blood. The captured person would have no chance of survival.
In the past hundred years, it had eaten at least a hundred farmers and Miao people.
As a result, very few people dared to go to Bottle Mountain to pick herbs.
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
They had previously encountered hundreds of Yuan Dynasty zombie soldiers in the altar cave.
He wondered if the legend of the Xiangxi Corpse King had anything to do with these Yuan Dynasty zombie soldiers.
However, those Yuan Dynasty zombie soldiers were extremely weak. They couldn't even kill people, let alone fly in the air and kidnap people.
Therefore, he did not know if this rumor was true or false.
"Boss, these rumors can't be true, right?" How can zombies fly?"
Chen Yulou said," Although these things are just legends, they are widely circulated. The descriptions are detailed and there are many personal rumors. I don't think they are just groundless rumors.”
"There are also zombies that can fly. They're called flying zombies."”
"Brother Wu, are there different types of zombies?" Elder Luo asked. Tell me about it."
Since he had nothing to do, Wu Hao said,"Zombies are formed by gathering the resentment of the dead, the corpse qi of heaven and earth, and the yin qi.
They would constantly change as the Yin Qi, Corpse Qi, and Fiendish Qi gathered in their bodies, so there were different stages of corpse transformation.
According to the different characteristics of each stage, zombies could be divided into eight types.
From low to high, they were the hairy zombie, grey zombie, white zombie, purple zombie, golden zombie, flying zombie, drought zombie, and zombie god.
The flying zombie could be considered to have stepped into the threshold of becoming a spirit. As for Hanba and Zombie God, they were demons that had broken away from the Six Paths.”
When everyone heard this, they were all amazed.
Even Chen Yulou, who was experienced and knowledgeable, heard for the first time that there were eight types of zombies. He couldn't help but say,"Since there really are zombies that can fly in the world, then the legend of the Xiangxi Corpse King in the Bottle Mountain is more credible.
This time we are going deep into Bottle Mountain, who knows if we will encounter such flying zombies that are about to become spirits.”
Elder Luo's expression changed." Aiya, it's better not to meet him!" If he was captured by it, wouldn't he be dead for sure?”
"Don't you think that the Xiangxi Corpse King might be the Yuan Dynasty general buried here?" Wu Hao asked.”
"Great minds think alike!" I'm telling you all these rumors because I'm guessing if the Xiangxi Corpse King has anything to do with the Yuan Dynasty general.”
"That flying zombie is wearing a purple robe and a gold belt. It must be an ancient corpse of a noble family."
After the death of the Yuan Dynasty's great general, he might not be buried in battle armor and battle clothes. It was also possible to change into a purple robe and a gold belt.
Therefore, this flying zombie could be the Yuan Dynasty general.”
" Yes." Wu Hao nodded and said," Inside this Bottle Mountain, the cracks and caves are interconnected and complicated.
If the flying zombie hiding in the bottle mountain was the Yuan Dynasty general,
This meant that the Yuan Dynasty general's tomb was definitely in a crack or cave that could be connected to the outside world.
Therefore, there is no problem with our train of thought in exploring the cave in the mountain crack.”
"Brother Wu is right." It was rumored that when the Yuan Dynasty general was repairing the tomb, he occupied the Pill Palace of the previous dynasty.
Now that we've searched all the way, not only have we found the Divine Hall, Pill Palace, Pill Well, but we've also found the Medicine Pavilion where the medicinal herbs and pills are stored.
This also means that we have found the right path!
I think that if we continue searching in this direction, we won't have to worry about not finding the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty general!”
This analysis helped to unify their thinking and boost their morale.
Originally, many people from Xie Ling and the engineer battalion were already thinking of retreating.
Now that he heard this, he had more confidence to continue moving forward.
At this moment, a Mountain-Lifting Strongman ran over and said to Chen Yulou,""Reporting to the chief, we have explored a hidden stone corridor. We don't know where it leads to, but we didn't dare to enter rashly.”
"Brother Wu is indeed farsighted!" Chen Yulou looked at Wu Hao and said. Shall we go and take a look?"
Wu Hao swallowed the last mouthful of dry food and stood up.""Let's go!"
