Dragon Seeker

This dry hand bone looks so weak and powerless, with dense seedlings of cool grass growing on it. At first glance, I thought it was moss growing on the bone. It was these strange plants that connected the knuckles of the hand bone together, like natural tendons.

Its power was so great that it wanted to crush my ankle bone, and its fingertips almost pierced through the heavy leather boots on my feet.

Instinctively, I immediately stepped back and tried to break free, but not only did I fail, I was dragged to the ground. The pile of rotten leaves was shaking "fluttering", and waves of pulling force came from below, trying to drag me into it.

In a panic, I struggled with the hand bones while biting the tip of my tongue. The intense pain made my soul tremble. The strong smell of iron filled my mouth. I sprayed blood on the Tianguan Blade with a "puff". At the moment when the cold light flashed, I chopped the hand bones with a backhand knife and cut them off with a "crack".

I immediately got up from the ground and avoided the grave mound made of fallen leaves from a distance. Because the clothes on my body did not fit well and were too bloated and heavy, I had difficulty moving. I even tripped and bit a mouthful of snow and mud. It can be said that I was rolling and crawling to avoid it. It was extremely embarrassing!

The fallen leaves pile was quiet all of a sudden, and there was no movement at all.

I was panting heavily, and the cold air was poured into my abdomen. My body seemed to be unable to bear it all at once, so that the cold air was suffocated in my intestines, and I felt uncomfortable. It took a long time for me to recover. I stared at the pile of fallen leaves for a few more times, and then looked at the hand bone still hanging on my ankle in surprise.

This thing... is still wriggling.

Every joint on the hand bone trembled one after another, like the black and white keys under the hands of a pianist, constantly changing and alternating, with a sense of rhythm!

Fortunately, the force was far less than before.

I picked the hand bone off with a Baipi knife and brought it to me to examine it carefully. The cool grass on it was indeed very small, and it could even be said that it had just sprouted. Each plant was at most a few millimeters high, but the number was very amazing. The most bizarre thing was that at this moment, these cool grasses were constantly wriggling, like a group of insects rolling together, which gave people goose bumps.

I could see that it was these cool grasses that were sweeping over the hand bones and wriggling.

It seems that it is not the skeletons with rotten flesh that are causing trouble, but these unremarkable little grasses are the real culprits.

"This should be a carnivorous evil grass."

I thought to myself that it is not only the beasts and evil spirits that eat people in the world. In some extreme places, unimaginable things will always be born. These cool grasses should be the things nourished by the evil spirits here. They grow on the dead and eat rotten meat to nourish themselves. After germination, they control the corpses and hunt and prey on other creatures to expand the scale of reproduction...

It can be said that this thing is much more evil than the popular carnivorous plant.

However, since it is something that is nourished by evil spirits, it is naturally afraid of things that break evil spirits. I took advantage of the bloody smell in my mouth and spit it on the hand bone. The saliva mixed with blood stained the hand bone with blood, but the effect was obvious. The cool grass attached to it was like seeing a natural enemy. The speed of squirming increased instantly, as if it was struggling to escape, but it was useless after all. Soon, billowing white smoke came out, emitting a burnt smell of burning pig hair, and died in groups, as if burned by a fire, and quickly turned black.

It really works!

This tongue tip blood is at least one of the things that contains the heaviest yang energy in the human body. Although the effect is not as good as the middle finger blood, the middle finger blood damages the vitality. I use the tongue tip blood to break the evil spirit, which is also a kind of quick wit. It is also a waste utilization, right?

I couldn't help but laugh, because I bit my tongue too hard, so that my whole tongue was stiff now, and it hurt when I moved it a little bit. The laughter was also very strange, and it sounded "huffing and puffing".

Before I could get too proud, the group of dead leaves moved again.

It seemed that the death of their own kind stimulated these evil grasses. This time the movement was much louder than before. The dead leaves were jumping "thumping", as if something was about to break out of the ground.

I didn't dare to neglect it, and immediately took the knife to be on guard. At the same time, the group of dead leaves finally broke open, and underneath was a pile of scattered human bones. Without exception, they were all covered with the tender buds of cool grass. Under the control of these evil grasses, the pile of human bones was squirming on the ground, as if they were trying to be pieced together.

The key to subduing this kind of evil grass is to break the evil.

But I can't just rely on the blood gushing out of my mouth to save myself. That's blood, not red bean soup. I'm afraid that even if I cut off my tongue, I can't kill so many evil grasses!

After a brief hesitation, I moved again.

Since the target is a bit huge, I can't rely on myself, so I'll rely on external forces!

Clang!

I stabbed the Baipi Knife into the ground fiercely, and rushed towards the dry bones that were being pieced together like threading a needle.

Such a weird step is naturally very particular.

This is called the Nine Steps of the Candle Dragon, recorded in the "Ten Thousand Burial Scriptures". This book is too profound and complicated. I can't understand the last two chapters of the sacrificial text at all, and I don't understand some things in the first two chapters. The Nine Steps of the Candle Dragon is one of the few contents that I can understand.

According to legend, Zhulong has a human face and a snake body, is red in color, and is a thousand miles long. When he opens his eyes, it is daytime, and when he closes his eyes, it is night. When he breathes in, it is winter, and when he breathes out, it is summer. He can call the wind and rain, and he does not drink water or eat, sleep or rest. He is very powerful.

The reason why it can do this is because it can control the earth veins!

This mythical monster lives on the dragon's spine and walks along the earth veins. Every step it takes can absorb the power of the earth veins.

The so-called Zhulong Nine Steps is naturally not imitating Zhulong. I guess the ancestors who created this step method have never seen such a thing. The reason why it has such a name is really a bit similar.

Because the Zhulong Nine Steps do follow the earth veins, and can absorb the power of the earth veins for their own use in a short period of time.

The path that Xiao Mi and Qing Zhu pointed out to me was exactly where the earth energy in this extremely evil place passed through. It was a good place to use the Nine Steps of the Candle Dragon. As I moved and jumped, I could feel the earth spirit beads in my abdomen trembling. The soles of my feet, which had been frozen numb, began to heat up slightly. When I rushed to the dry bones, the other party had already pieced them together.

Of course, there is no need to expect these cool grasses to have high IQs, to play puzzles, and to restore a pile of torn bones into a complete human form. What is pieced together is just a weird monster, with the skull in the crotch...

The buds of the cool grass are swaying and growing at an astonishing speed. At first glance, it seems that this weird thing has green hair growing on it...

When we meet on a narrow road, it is naturally not to give each other a hug to express friendship. When this monster pounced on me, I suddenly grabbed the ground with my left hand, and then immediately turned it over, with the tips of my five fingers facing up, and the middle finger and ring finger quickly bent into the palm, pinching a strange handprint, and "snap" hit the monster.

In an instant, the monster was covered with white smoke, and the cool grass that fell down was shaking "rustling", withering and blackening in the blink of an eye. The monster immediately fell apart and turned into a pile of dry bones.

I also screamed "Ah" and stepped back repeatedly. Looking at my left hand again, the palm was dark, as if it was burned, but there were no blisters or wounds. It was just unbearable pain, as if thousands of needles were constantly piercing every pore, making my palm cramp and tremble constantly.

This is already a very good result! !

The earth vein energy is not that easy to use. Although the ceremonial officer borrowed the power of the earth vein, it actually passed through the earth spirit bead. In the words of my master, after passing through the earth spirit bead, my power is actually no different from the spiritual power mentioned by Taoists, but it is just purer.

The real earth vein energy is extremely hot. This heat is not high in temperature, but the yang energy is extremely terrifying. It is easy for mortals to burn themselves if they touch it.

But it is undeniable that the earth vein energy has the best effect in breaking evil spirits. Although the Taoist spiritual power or the power of the ritual officer after using the earth spirit beads have some effect in breaking evil spirits, but... it is far from the pure earth vein energy, and is even worse than the blood on the tip of a person's tongue, and it can't deal with this evil grass at all.

Only the pure earth vein energy can launch a thundering attack on this evil grass and destroy it instantly.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. Some people even burned themselves directly. I just suffered a little flesh and blood, and I didn't hurt the root. What else can I complain about?

However, this is not luck, it is related to the handprint I pinched. That handprint is called the Three Pure Finger, which is the ability of Taoism.

Taoists use this finger technique to hold clean water, or it is used for the method of talisman water, but it is not limited to this. I clearly remember that in "Qingwei Neidan Shu", it was said that the three pure fingers, three fingers facing the sky, imply the Taoist three pure, straight strokes, Taoist heart toward the sky, upright, able to hold themselves, and it is used for defense. Taoists use it to hold clean water to show piety, and I use it to grab the earth's energy to protect myself, which can be regarded as a complement.

This is the first time I have combined the skills of Taoism with the techniques of the ritual officer. Perhaps I am the only one who has done so among countless generations of ritual officers, and the result is not bad.

I can't help but feel a little complacent, the pain in my hand is slightly relieved, and I immediately set off.

Gradually, I found that the fog around me was no longer so thick, and the jungle that was originally pitch-black began to become chaotic. A hint of gray appeared in the sky, as if it was dawn.

"Did I get out?"

I woke up and was overjoyed. I calculated the time. I was afraid that I had walked for a day and a night. According to the normal people's walking speed, I should have walked a hundred kilometers in more than 20 hours. Although I was basically lying down due to physical reasons, I should have walked fifty or sixty kilometers. I should have gotten out.

As long as I leave the extremely evil place, it means that I have left the territory of those ghosts and returned to the world of the living. In a way, it can be regarded as escaping from the dead.

It took too long to walk this way. I drank all the wine that Qingzhu gave me. When I relaxed, I realized that I seemed to have drunk too much and had some urination.

Anyway, there are probably no people in the wild mountains and ridges here, so there is no need to pay attention to the civilized society. I picked a rather dense dry bush and opened the gate to release water. When I was proud, I couldn't help humming a little tune.

At this time, a rustling sound came from the opposite side without any warning.

I was shocked by the sudden noise and immediately peed my shoes, but I didn't care too much. I held my pants and quickly retreated, while taking out the Tianguan Blade and holding it across my chest for defense.

The rustling sound continued, and the dry bushes swayed. I stared at it, my nerves were already tense to the extreme, and then... a rabbit jumped out in the end...

"Scared me to death..."

I cursed, and just as I relaxed, the bushes were suddenly pulled apart, and a dirty face emerged from the bushes. It was a dishevelled man, grinning and laughing at "Hehehe", revealing a mouthful of rotten yellow teeth...
