Youbao Chapter 5: Killing the Corpse (5)
The old Taoist priest asked me to get up from the bed and then walked behind me. Suddenly, I felt like a snake was wrapped around my back, and a pair of arms were wrapped around my waist like steel bars. I felt like my ribs were about to break.
Before I could catch my breath, my waist loosened and the old Taoist priest's words came from behind me: This is the snake-wrapping method. You can find a tree to practice it. Don't just use your arm strength to wrap it. Your strength is not as good as that of a child for the bronze-armored corpse.
I felt a chill on my back. This job was too difficult.
Also, when taking the jade pendant, you should place it against your forehead and slowly back away. The forehead is where the gate to heaven is, connecting the yin and yang of heaven and earth. Only in this way can the jade pendant protect you from being attacked by the bronze-armored corpse. When backing away, you must be slow, and breathe at least 50 meters away from the bronze-armored corpse, which is the farthest distance its corpse qi can spread.
Fifty meters... I calculated silently and suddenly felt a little confused.
A round trip is 100 meters, and you have to go slowly when you are close to 20 meters. If you calculate it, one and a half minutes is just enough.
Perhaps because he felt that this job was indeed difficult for me, the old Taoist priest gave me great encouragement: After the work is done, I will send you back in three days, and you can keep the gold brick.
Where is the jade pendant?
And give it back to you.
This is definitely a surprise. That big gold brick alone is worth millions. For these millions, I would do anything, even murder and arson!
Of course, I can set fire, but I can't bring myself to kill someone.
After making sure I remembered everything, the old Taoist priest closed his eyes and began to rest. I don't know how tired he was all day, he closed his eyes as soon as he sat on the bed, not afraid that he would never be able to open his eyes again.
Time flies, and soon it is night.
After dinner, the old Taoist took me directly to Gamu’s house.
The room was still dark, and I heard Gamu greet us: You're here so early.
The old Taoist priest hummed and said to me: "Don't make any noise. You can sit anywhere, but don't move. Look at your watch. At eleven o'clock, hold your breath and wait for the bronze-armored corpse to come out."
I nodded, but then I remembered that it was such a dark room and he couldn't see me at all.
I spent three and a half hours in boredom, which was extremely exhausting. I don't know if my watch was accurate, but when the pointer pointed to eleven o'clock, I immediately held my breath and dared not move.
Because at this time, I heard a dull sigh.
Bronze armored corpse!
In addition to this strange breathing sound, there are also sounds similar to chanting, which is probably Gamu.
It seemed like something was broken, and the breathing sound was getting closer and closer to me. I subconsciously huddled my hands and feet to my side and opened my eyes wide to try to see clearly ahead.
But it was pitch black ahead and I couldn’t see anything.
At this moment, the door of the room, which had been somewhat bright, suddenly darkened. I looked over and saw a very strong figure, about 1.9 meters tall, blocking most of the door.
The body looked no different from that of an ordinary person, but in the moonlight, a faint glow could be seen.
Is this the bronze-armored corpse?
Before I could see clearly, the bronze-armored corpse took heavy steps and walked out. With every step it took, I felt the ground tremble. This showed that the bronze-armored corpse was truly unparalleled in strength . No wonder the old Taoist priest said that no one could defeat the bronze-armored corpse in a head-on confrontation.
But, I don’t know how the old Taoist priest and Gamu achieved the so-called cure. Isn’t that a direct confrontation?
In addition, when the old Taoist priest came back last time, a piece of his sleeve was torn off by the bronze-armored corpse. From this, it seems that the old man is really extraordinary powerful.
After the bronze-armored corpse left the room, Gamu also followed out.
I saw him holding a long object in his hand, and I didn't know what it was. He was bending over and scattering something on the ground as he walked.
Soon, the earth-shattering roar of the bronze-armored corpse could be heard outside. I was closer to it now, and could hear it more clearly. I felt more and more that this monster made from refined corpses was extremely powerful.
You can breathe now. The old Taoist priest's voice rang out.
Then I remembered that the old Taoist priest had been standing next to me without moving.
I opened my mouth and exhaled the breath I had been holding for a long time, and after taking several deep breaths in a row, I felt full of energy again.
Was that the bronze-armored corpse just now? I asked.
The old Taoist nodded and said: It's midnight, you stand at the door and don't move.
I stood at the door as he said, and from a distance, I saw two figures, one in front and one behind. The one running around was probably Gamu, and the one standing still was the bronze-armored corpse.
Even from a distance, one could still feel the murderous aura coming from the bronze-armored corpse.
The old Taoist said that the bronze-armored corpse came out to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. I originally thought that I could see a thick column of air coming from the sky like on TV, but now it seems that the so-called absorption of essence is invisible to ordinary people. Maybe the old Taoist can see it, isn't it said that people who practice Taoism can open their third eye?
At this time, I heard the old Taoist say: Take off your clothes.
ah?
Hurry up, or we will run out of time. The old Taoist priest's tone was surprisingly stern.
I couldn't help but obey his instructions and quickly took off my clothes .
Take off your underwear too! said the old Taoist priest.
I feel like dying: There aren’t any women here, are there?
If you keep talking nonsense, I will throw you in front of the bronze-armored corpse, said the old Taoist priest.
This old Taoist priest is really cruel. I cursed inwardly while quickly taking off my only fig leaf.
After I took off my clothes, the old Taoist priest began to rub something on my body. It was liquid and a little warm, probably my blood. But how come the blood was still hot after being released for so long? Was it kept warm on the stove?
As more and more blood was smeared on his body, an unpleasant smell came to his nose.
What's that smell? I said.
The smell can save your life. The old Taoist said: Raise your arms.
I felt like I was taking a bath, and the old Taoist priest was a bath attendant. However, this bath attendant's service attitude was terrible.
In about two minutes, my entire body, including my most private parts and the soles of my feet, was covered with something.
After the old Taoist priest wiped the last spot, he said: Go ahead, the jade pendant is on the head of the bronze-armored corpse. Be sure to hold it steadily and don't touch it.
Are you going now? I'm a little worried. Is it unreliable to rely on blood alone for protection? Should I apply some black dog blood or something?
The answer is that I was almost kicked in the butt by the old Taoist priest.
Following the old Taoist's instructions, I quickly ran towards the bronze-armored corpse. Perhaps in order not to disturb me, Gamu had already dodged away. When I was about 50 meters away, I could no longer see his shadow.
I didn't know how far fifty meters was, but I estimated it to be about right, so I started holding my breath.
Twenty meters is easy to calculate, it’s fine as long as it’s roughly the same.
I didn't dare to look too much as I was twenty meters away. I just remembered that my breath-holding time was not very long and time was precious.
I slowed down my pace and slowly approached the bronze-armored corpse. The distance was twenty meters, but I felt like I was walking two kilometers.
As the distance got closer, the appearance of the bronze-armored corpse became clearer and clearer in my eyes.
I was walking behind it, so I could only see its back. But even from its back, it still gave me a heavy feeling that made me feel breathless.
The tall bronze-armored corpse was only wrapped in a simple cloth strip, and its majestic body was exposed naked in the moonlight. I don't know if the so-called bronze-armored corpse has anything to do with its skin color, but under the moonlight, it does have a layer of bronze color.
This is a monster like a steel giant, a man-made killing machine that is difficult to control. If it goes crazy, even Gamu, the corpse refiner, can't stand it.
At this time, I was less than two meters away from the bronze-armored corpse.
I saw a jade pendant floating above its head. It was a jade pendant passed down from my ancestors that could connect the underworld to yin and yang, and allow the bronze-armored corpse to grow faster.
At this moment, the jade pendant was suspended above the head of the bronze-armored corpse in a way that was difficult for me to understand. I could even see a bright glow on the jade pendant.
This warm glow is like a light bulb in the dark.
Walking behind the bronze-armored corpse, I held my breath and looked at the fierce-looking bronze-armored corpse with some fear. It was too tall and too powerful. Would it suddenly turn around?
My breathing was already a little suffocated, so I didn't dare hesitate any longer. I reached out my hand carefully, grasped the jade pendant, and then slowly retracted it .
When I held the jade pendant, the body of the bronze-armored corpse trembled slightly. It was not a big deal, but my hand also trembled in fear and touched the bronze-armored corpse's hair.
I don’t know how this corpse was made, its hair is like steel wire.
I don’t know if there will be any accidents. If there are any, it will definitely not be a good thing.
I had barely practiced the snake-wrapping technique that the old Taoist priest taught me. Looking at the majestic appearance of the bronze-armored corpse, I was afraid that it could kill me with just one slap.
I held the jade pendant and slowly backed away. The bronze-armored corpse kept tilting its neck, as if absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. The jade pendant just made it tremble, but there was no other reaction.
It seems that what the old Taoist priest said was right. This job was a safe one.
When I was more than 20 meters away, I could no longer hold my breath and felt like my brain was about to explode, so I quickly turned around and ran back.
After running for a while, I estimated that I had run more than fifty meters, and could even see the figure of the old Taoist priest standing at the door, I dared to open my mouth to breathe.
But when I opened my mouth, my expression changed.
Because I clearly smelled a fishy odor, which was exactly the same smell that the bronze-armored corpse sprayed on my face when I first came here.
Oh no, I haven’t even run fifty meters yet?
At the same time, I heard a deafening roar behind me. When I turned around, I was scared to death.
The huge bronze-armored corpse was facing me without me noticing.
As if announcing an attack, the bronze-armored corpse roared toward the sky, then pounced towards me at an extremely fast speed.
I was so scared that I screamed and ran away.
“Old Taoist priest, help me! Help me!” I shouted.
