I had already ascended to heaven when the spiritual energy began to recover?

Chapter 78 Corpse Dissection

The white pheasant that had been huddled on the old pine tree from beginning to end

Using his divine sense, he managed to perceive the movements within the tomb chamber.

Clearly.

He particularly noted that,

It was always hidden in the shadow of the dome, and you wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely.

But Bai Sheng's divine sense saw it clearly.

It was actually a dried-up corpse!

The mummified corpse was suspended high in the dome by copper chains piercing its shoulder blades.

At a glance,

The mummy was charred black, its skin long since dried and shriveled into a hard shell, clinging tightly to the bones.

The dark eye sockets faced the stone coffin below.

Those below probably couldn't understand the look in his eyes.

Bai Sheng pondered what exactly was going on with this dried corpse.

What is his true identity?

How did it end up hanging here?

It couldn't possibly be that emperor's biological father, could it?

Or perhaps it was some tomb raider who broke in?

suddenly,

Without warning, two dark red spots of light appeared in the eye sockets of the mummified corpse.

Then the dried corpse's finger twitched.

The finger bones, which had been curled up for who knows how long, slowly separated.

"Wow, that's a bit creepy..."

Then Bai Sheng, who had been hiding in the back, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine when he saw this scene.

How did this mummified corpse start moving?

Ok,

I just don't know whether I'm stronger or weaker than this dried-up corpse.

At the same time, he silently touched his pocket.

I touched the snake-shaped necklace.

Ok,

Because we knew from the beginning that we were going into a cemetery,

Bai Sheng specially wore this necklace, just in case he needed it.

It wouldn't be bad to capture a remnant soul and refine it.

The dried-up corpse in the distance seemed restless and began to stir.

The shrunken neck bones moved upwards, one vertebra at a time.

Until the head slowly tilts back,

The two dark red spots deep in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

It came suddenly and unexpectedly.

Its jawbone made a dry, grinding sound.

It spoke!

"Are you people from Prince Ning's faction?"

After the dried corpse finished speaking,

Everyone in the tomb looked at each other, initially unable to pinpoint the source of the sound.

So for a time,

The beams of all the flashlights were simultaneously swinging wildly in mid-air.

It's unclear which lucky person managed to spot the exact location of the dried corpse.

That's what brought everyone's attention.

So that's what was hidden on his head!

Faced with this horrifying scene

Surprisingly, no one shouted or made a sound; everyone just stood there, stunned and motionless.

Zhao Qiming was the first to react.

Instinctively, he took a step forward, his right hand gripping the holster.

He used his left hand to shield Zhou Ling behind him, thus blocking everyone else from view.

The investigators nearby, witnessing this scene, were still stuck on the same thought from before.

Captain Zhao, you're way too eager to improve!

Bai Sheng's divine sense could clearly capture it.

Captain Zhao Qiming's heart rate spiked to an almost out-of-control speed.

But he still maintained a very high level of professionalism.

Adopt a standard tactical defensive stance.

He stared at the mummified corpse that was slowly rising, his Adam's apple bobbing twice.

"Step back."

However, five seconds later...

"Huh? Why isn't anyone leaving?"

Zhao Qiming muttered to himself.

Zhou Ling's face turned ashen.

She was pushed behind Zhao Qiming, and her toes were stepped on.

However, he maintained a highly professional defensive stance, remaining completely still.

This made her gasp in pain.

Zhao Qiming glanced back and quickly realized his small mistake.

They wanted to slap themselves and quickly stepped aside.

But Zhou Ling did not choose to run away.

After all, who knows if running away will lead to a crisis?

After all, this is a supernatural phenomenon.

All past experience is irrelevant.

Zhou Ling's brain instinctively began to work, and he rationally tried his best to analyze what this talking mummy in front of him was.

A physical entity formed from sealed energy?

Some unknown life form?

But her body was acting up.

She could feel her heart rate increasing.

Splash!

Then they saw,

Several copper chains on the dome began to shake violently, with each sway...

There was one more cracking sound.

Immediately afterwards, the iron chain split in two, and the dried corpse fell straight down from the dome!

Zhao Qiming instinctively covered his face with his hand.

The mummified corpse slammed onto the stone coffin lid.

It made a sound like a dry stick hitting the ground, and then slid down the coffin lid to the ground.

Everyone: "..."

This entrance was rather awkward and quite out of place with the atmosphere just now.

But everyone still hasn't forgotten their current situation.

Several technicians screamed and backed away, their flashlight beams flailing wildly in the tomb chamber.

Zhou Ling was dragged away by Zhao Qiming.

"Wait... Old Tan!"

That's when I noticed,

Old Tan stood frozen at the entrance of the passageway, clutching his tablet, his face deathly pale.

Clearly, their legs were no longer obeying their commands.

"stop!

I don't recognize your official robes. Has everything changed in the last few centuries?

Just as everyone was scattering and fleeing, the dried corpse suddenly uttered a string of witty remarks.

He spoke quite fluently.

Everyone was clearly taken aback for a moment.

Zhao Qiming subconsciously loosened the bolt.

He realized that his position was extremely precarious.

Because he chose to help Old Tan, he is now only three or four meters away from the dried corpse.

Too close.

I'm afraid that even if I try to run, I'll have a hard time outrunning the others.

Then look at the other people who scattered and fled.

Suddenly, a sense of pride welled up inside me.

Anyway, it's a feeling that's hard to describe.

It was this feeling that prompted him to step forward.

Instead of running away, it stood in front of the dried corpse.

It was as if he was using his body to buy time for everyone to escape!

Zhao Qiming stared at the talking, mummified corpse: "You...you are Prince Ning, Zhu Quan?"

Upon hearing this, the dark red light in the corpse's eye sockets flickered:

"Don't mention that name to me!"

It struggled to its feet, supporting itself against the stone coffin wall with one hand, and walked forward step by step.

But it wasn't aimed in Zhao Qiming's direction.

The charred bits of skin on his body fell off in a rustling sound.

With each step, extremely fine black ash is left behind underfoot.

It walked all the way to the front of the stone coffin before stopping.

His dark, hollow eyes scanned everyone present.

Then he spoke again.

This time, however, his voice was much lower.

But the underlying anger was clearly undiminished.

"You all remember this: I am a Taoist priest from Mount Qiyun, my Taoist name is Zhen Huan!"

Seeing that this dried corpse did not indiscriminately slaughter innocent people,

Moreover, his emotional state seems to be very stable.

Upon realizing this, Zhao Qiming had some unusual thoughts.

My mind started to wander.

So, I mustered up my courage and asked:

"May I ask, senior... um, may I ask, senior Zhen Huan? I see that your cultivation is quite remarkable, how did you end up in such a small place?"

The others were utterly astonished, thinking to themselves that Zhao Qiming had gone mad!
