Chapter 1043: Medicine Corpse
These Medicine Corpses were naturally refined by someone using an Evil Technique; the reason Zhang Qiang dared not enter was because he knew the true secret within the Mu Mansion.
The Great Clan Leader of the Mu Clan, Mu Xiaotian, was the most powerful Wizard among the dozen or so surrounding villages, but he had not stepped out of his home for a long time, and no one had ever entered his house.
Because in the local people's understanding, their Clan Leader possessed the ability to communicate with the gods, and the aura on ordinary people was disrespectful to the gods, so almost no one dared to enter the Mu home; furthermore, Mu Clan Disciples were always guarding the perimeter of the Mu home, so apart from a few trusted aides, no one knew what was inside the Mu Mansion.
"Chen Yu, I beg you, let me go. Once these Medicine Corpses awaken, they won't stop until they see human blood." Zhang Qiang screamed in terror.
"Zhang Qiang, it seems you know many secrets." Chen Yu smiled, controlling Zhang Qiang as he walked forward a few steps.
The chilling aura caused these Medicine Corpses to slowly lift their heads, and a terrifying glint flickered within their expressionless eyes.
"Chen Yu, they have already awakened. I beg you, don't walk any further, otherwise both of us will die. I beg you." Zhang Qiang shrieked in fright.
"Isn't Mu Xiaotian your master? Can't you enter and leave the Mu Mansion freely? What are you afraid of?" Chen Yu said with a chuckle.
"I can't, I can only walk up to here, I cannot go any further, otherwise I will die, I will die!" Zhang Qiang was scared out of his wits; he watched helplessly as he took steps forward, watching helplessly as green light emerged from the eyes of the Medicine Corpses.
Taking another step forward, suddenly, one Medicine Corpse violently opened its blood-stained maw, let out a hiss, and rushed forward rapidly.
These Medicine Corpses were different from some Walking Corpses; those Walking Corpses moved slowly, and if you ran a bit faster, they might not be able to catch up to you.
But these Medicine Corpses had been soaked and refined in medicine, and were further empowered by the Boro Secret Art, so they moved extremely quickly; a group of Medicine Corpses lunged over like madmen, then violently pounced toward Zhang Qiang.
"Chen Yu, opening the door of the Tulou requires me to initiate it; if I die, the door cannot be opened." Zhang Qiang closed his eyes in terror.
Chen Yu flicked his right hand, and Zhang Qiang screamed as he was tossed to the side; then Chen Yu curled his right hand and pointed forward.
*Chi... * A white mist formed, and this white mist suddenly dispersed, splitting into ten, flowing separately toward these Walking Corpses; *Boom—*, the dozen or so Medicine Corpses collapsed to the ground.
When Zhang Qiang opened his eyes, he only saw a pile of severed limbs and broken arms on the ground.
And at his feet, there was still one Medicine Corpse missing its lower half, struggling to crawl forward.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu's expression remained as usual, as if he had done something insignificant.
Zhang Qiang was stunned; he had only closed his eyes for a few seconds, and in those few seconds, he had been waiting for death to arrive, but he never dreamed that Chen Yu could resolve the situation in that instant?
He truly did not know what had happened, and looking at the aura gradually receding from Chen Yu's body, he realized that Chen Yu was the true master.
"Chen Yu... you are a master, I know now. Don't worry, I will cooperate. I will open the door of the Tulou, but my master is not inside, and his sacrifice is not happening now either, but rather through a passage beneath the Tulou, leading to a village at the border."
"That place is said to be where the Brahma Sect's Sacred Object manifests; only by holding the sacrificial ceremony there can the Sacred Object be made to manifest."
"Is that so? Then you open the door first." Chen Yu nodded slightly.
"Yes... yes." Zhang Qiang nodded incessantly; he truly dared not show any defiance now.
Carefully skirting around the severed limbs and broken arms at his feet, Zhang Qiang reached the doorway with extreme caution.
He knew that even if these Medicine Corpses were dead, the poisonous aura on their bodies could directly poison a person to death; if he were the slightest bit careless and touched a drop of poisonous blood, he would truly die.
He cautiously used a Secret Method to open the door of the Tulou, then said with a look of fear: "The passage is on the ground floor; you go out from here, then walk one kilometer to the Southwest and you will arrive. I... I won't go in."
"Are you very afraid of me?" Seeing Zhang Qiang's cowering appearance, Chen Yu couldn't help but smile.
"I, I don't, no, not afraid." Zhang Qiang stammered.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you." Chen Yu said with a chuckle: "Although you are a detestable person, I don't want to kill you either, because I'm afraid of dirtying my hands."
"Yes, killing me would dirty your hands. Brother Chen, thank you for sparing me, thank you." Zhang Qiang was overjoyed; Chen Yu had essentially let him off.
"It's just that, Zhang Qiang, if you walk the night road too often, you will eventually meet a ghost." Chen Yu smiled grimly: "You go, but whether you can make it out alive, I don't know. Take care of yourself."
As Chen Yu spoke, he turned and entered the Tulou, and Zhang Qiang watched Chen Yu go inside before he finally let out a sigh of relief.
This time he had opened the Tulou door without authorization and told Chen Yu about Mu Xiaotian's whereabouts; if his master found out, he would definitely not let him off. Now he had to go back, pack his things, and run, otherwise he would end up in a miserable state.
Thinking of his master's torturous methods, he felt a chill run down his spine; he couldn't help but shudder and left in a panic.
Suddenly, he felt his leg tighten, and he hurriedly looked down; upon looking down, he was scared out of his wits.
He saw that person who only had half a body left, clutching his thigh tightly, and then using its arms like a spider to climb upward, instantly crawling to his waist and hugging his waist tightly.
"Ah... let go of me, help!" Zhang Qiang screamed in terror, because he knew just how poisonous these Medicine Corpses were.
Unfortunately, the Mu Mansion was a place no one dared to visit; even if he screamed, no one would pay him any mind.
A Medicine Corpse is a Poison Corpse; a moment later, he felt a wave of numbness and itching throughout his body, and immediately after, he collapsed to the ground, his entire body turning black.
The Medicine Corpse took a bite into Zhang Qiang's body; Zhang Qiang's body trembled violently, and a moment later, he was motionless.
Although this guy hadn't committed any major evils, he was constantly committing minor ones; having this outcome could be considered fate.
After entering the Tulou, the door behind Chen Yu closed tightly.
The Tulou was circular, with a ring of two-story buildings built around the perimeter and an open space in the middle.
And in the very center, there stood a statue of a masked human figure; this statue was over a zhang tall, facing Southwest, with an indifferent expression in its eyes that revealed nothing.
Just at this moment, on the second-floor balcony, over a dozen corpses were hung out to dry, densely packed; these corpses hung on the second floor, left to the wind and rain.
These were unformed Medicine Corpses; the production of a Medicine Corpse requires soaking the corpse in medicine, then hanging it in a place with a Dharma Array to dry into a mummy, and then injecting Mind Power to allow it to possess the ability to move.
