Spiritual Walker

Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Unexplored Places



Zhang Yuanqing returned to the main hall, bathed in the candlelight, calmed the pain of the recurrence of his old illness, and purified himself.

According to the time calculation, the vengeful spirit will entangle him in one or two minutes. It is definitely not suitable to enter the East Courtyard and face the zombies at this time.

After resting for four or five minutes, his physical condition became worse and worse. He had a headache accompanied by slight dizziness. He knew that the corpse poison gradually eroded his body and initially showed symptoms.

The candlelight in the main hall seemed unable to purify the toxins in the body.

"I can't delay any longer..."

He wanted to take advantage of the half-hour usage limit of the red dancing shoes to make a quick decision and clear the dungeon in one go.

Zhang Yuanqing left the main hall, walked along the cobblestone path, shuttled through the weeds, and arrived at the courtyard.

Standing in the yard with undulating weeds, he opened the inventory and summoned the red dancing shoes.

Two dark red lights moved flexibly in the night and turned into a pair of brand new dancing shoes.

"Choose the second form!"

Zhang Yuanqing silently chanted.

The red dancing shoes disintegrated into a dark red light again, sweeping out two arcs and wrapping his feet.

In an instant, the running shoes under his feet turned into a pair of large red dancing shoes.

This, isn't this a disguised female dress? Fortunately, it is a red dancing shoe, not a high heel... Zhang Yuanqing looked at his feet uncomfortably, feeling weird.

He forced himself not to care about this detail, took out the corpse-suppressing talisman, held it in his hand, and walked through the arched door in the rustling sound of the banyan tree, and came to the east courtyard again.

In the east courtyard, the wild grass was undulating, the bright moonlight was shining, and the two big houses stood quietly, everything was so quiet.

He carefully looked around and saw no trace of zombies. He immediately crossed the courtyard cautiously and approached the big house divided into four rooms.

The wooden door of the room where the coffin was displayed had been knocked away. He didn't need to enter the house, but looked into the house from a distance across the threshold.

The moonlight shone in from the gap in the tiles. The corpse, the coffin, the flying coffin lid, and the brass pestle were all quietly in their original places, not moved at all.

There was no sign of a zombie in the room.

"Will it lie back in the coffin?"

From this angle, he could not see the situation inside the coffin.

As he was hesitating, he suddenly found that the moonlight seemed to dim, and a dark shadow fell from the sky, covering him.

Then, the night wind brought a strong stench of corpses and a low roar of "ho ho".

It, it is hiding in the tree? Zhang Yuanqing was horrified, his heart suddenly contracted, and he instinctively wanted to dodge.

The next moment, the red dancing shoes on his feet lit up with a dark red glow, and Zhang Yuanqing's feet suddenly slipped. Before he could react, he rushed out with a sliding shovel, plowing a trace in the weeds.

Bang!

The zombie wrapped in ragged clothes pounced on nothing.

Avoid, avoid... Zhang Yuanqing hurriedly climbed up, pleasantly surprised, and his heart was back in his stomach.

The red dancing shoes were indeed magical, and their dodging ability was stronger than he expected. With his own reaction ability, it was impossible for him to avoid the zombie's attack just now.

Zhang Yuanqing's confidence increased greatly.

"Ho ho..."

The zombie with hair like dry grass roared to vibrate the eardrums, and its bulging eyeballs became more ferocious. It bounced its knees and pounced on its prey again.

It was as fast as a car running at high speed.

In the midst of the fishy wind, the terrible Yin object was already in front of him. Zhang Yuanqing twisted his feet uncontrollably, like a ballet spin, smoothly cutting out a semicircle, avoiding the sharp nails and cutting behind the zombie.

Then, he "naturally" made a split, his body collapsed suddenly, a strong wind whistled above his head, and his two arms swept across.

Pull, pull the balls... Zhang Yuanqing's face was distorted, and he wanted to hold his hips and scream, but the red dancing shoes had already controlled his legs to jump and bounce up.

He jumped high and kicked the zombie's chest with his feet.

Bang!

In the muffled sound, the zombie's ragged clothes splashed fine dust.

It roared in anger and unwillingness, and fell on its back by the huge force.

Opportunity! Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuanqing didn't care about the pain of the torn hips, and ran fast, slapping the corpse talisman in his hand hard at the highly rotten and smelly face in front of him.

Slap it on the forehead.

Snap!

The violent and bloodthirsty zombie froze suddenly as if it had been hit by a spell.

All the movement disappeared and returned to silence.

The zombie lay upright in the weeds, and the scarlet in its hideous eyeballs slowly dimmed.

It lost its "vitality".

Looking at the zombie that had turned into a clay sculpture and could not show off its power, Zhang Yuanqing gasped violently, and fatigue and joy surged into his heart.

He survived!

"Without the help of the red dancing shoes, it is difficult to deal with the zombies alone, and zombies are just one of the weirdness. It is worthy of being an S-level spiritual realm. It is too difficult.

"But there are many people in the construction team. It should not be a problem to deal with the zombies. How can a group of men be so unbearable..."

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly sighed, and he knew the reason.

The corpse-suppressing talisman was found in the pocket of the corpse under the window. The senior got this prop, but he did not tell his companions, but hid it privately.

The human heart is more complicated and more terrifying than ghosts.

After solving the zombies, it is time to go to the well to find the shameless female ghost.

But before that, there is something that Zhang Yuanqing cares about very much.

He left the zombies and walked to the room where the coffins were displayed. He held the door frame and stepped over the threshold. In the dark room, the moonlight was like a beam.

He stopped in front of the mummy and bent down to pick up the copper cone.

It was obviously a copper object, but it didn't feel cold in his hand, but warm like jade.

Immediately, a message appeared in the field of vision.

[Name: Demon Subduing Pestle]

[Type: Weapon]

[Function: Purification, Calming Spirits, Destroying Demons]

[Introduction: A weapon containing the power of the sun, it is the nemesis of all evil things. Sacrifice this pestle with blood and essence to obtain the power of the sun god. ]

[Note: Is it powerful? I paid with my life.]

It is indeed a prop. According to the function introduction, it seems to be more powerful than the candles in the main hall. The seniors of the construction team should have wanted to use it to kill zombies, but failed. Alas, they had lost too many people before dealing with zombies... Zhang Yuanqing was glad that he made the right judgment.

Cleverly using the red dancing shoes to solve the difficulties.

Of course, the seniors of the construction team had no choice. They could not subdue this rule-based prop, and most of them died from the trampling of red dancing shoes.

"With this prop that specifically counters Yin objects, combined with red dancing shoes, my chances of passing the trial mission have greatly increased."

Holding the demon-suppressing pestle in his hand, he felt a strong sense of confidence in his heart. Before the five minutes were up, he left the room and returned to the yard.

This time, he went straight to the ancient well for the final exploration.

The wellhead was deep and dark, and a damp smell of rotting grass and trees surged up.

Let's go down and have a look... Zhang Yuanqing held the demon-suppressing pestle tightly in a defensive posture, raised one foot and stepped on the edge of the well, and then he walked down like this, walking on the well wall as if it were flat ground.

Before, he would definitely not dare to go down to explore, not to mention whether there was any danger at the bottom of the well, without a rope or helpers, jumping to the bottom of the well meant seeking death.

Soon, he successfully reached the bottom of the well, which was not deep, where the moonlight was already very weak.

The water in the well had long been dried up, black silt was deposited at the bottom, clumps of weeds grew on the edge, and the well wall was covered with dark green moss.

"There are no ghosts in the well..."

Zhang Yuanqing frowned, thinking that this was not right, I clearly saw a faceless female ghost sticking out of the well.

He checked repeatedly at the bottom of the well, but because the time for wearing the red dancing shoes was limited, he could only helplessly step on the steep well wall, return to the ground, and quickly run back to the eaves of the main hall.

Only then did he feel relieved to take off the red dancing shoes.

.....

In the main hall, bathed in the dim candlelight, Zhang Yuanqing leaned against the tribute table with a listless look. The corpse poison eroded his body more and more. After dizziness, he had difficulty breathing and heart and lung pain.

Time is running out.

"I have explored two backyards and successfully subdued the zombies. The mission is not over yet, which means there is still a place I haven't explored..."

Every room in the backyard has been explored, even the bottom of the well has been explored, there can't be any loopholes.

So, where is it?

When all possibilities are eliminated, no matter how incredible the remaining one is, it must be the truth... He muttered in his heart and slowly supported his body.

The place that has not been "explored" is here, the main hall in front of him.

Zhang Yuanqing's eyes slowly swept across the main hall, and finally stopped at the clay sculpture of the Sandashan Goddess. When he first entered the main hall, a detail on the clay sculpture made him very concerned.

The right hand of the clay sculpture is empty, but it is grasping, indicating that it was originally holding something.

I didn't know what she was holding before, but now I know.

It was the Demon-Subduing Pestle.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Zhang Yuanqing stepped forward, inserted the yellow Demon-Subduing Pestle into the palm of the clay sculpture, then jumped off the base and stepped back a few steps.

Almost at the moment he stepped back, the surface of the base "cracked" and cracks bounced up a dense dust, and then the entire base collapsed, revealing a dark cave.
