Buddha's Book of Beauty

Gu Tao felt his surroundings were wet, put his hands on his forehead, and stumbled to his feet.

"This wine is too strong, and I didn't get drunk so easily before..." This "before" is naturally the "before" when she was a god.

His head was still groggy, but the strings in his head suddenly tightened, and something seemed to be approaching nearby, with a strong salty and rotten smell.

A scorched black claw struck out from behind, Gu Taofang couldn't dodge in time, his protective sleeve was scratched, and a bloodstain was scratched on his body.

When he failed to grab it, two black claws emerged from his sides and wings. Gu Tao became vigilant and dodged deftly.Black Claw retracted it, but she couldn't be happy at all, the surrounding was deadly silence, which didn't mean safety, but might be the breathing time before death.

Huahua tangles between her wrists, she presses its head down, and it obediently does not move.Gu Tao restrained her breath as much as possible, and leaned against the back of the tree, where the vegetation grew wildly, and the drops of water wetted her robe, she changed her position to mediate with those things.

Judging from the smell and attack method, she guessed that it might be a puppet, a walking corpse, or a dead person. The puppet does not need talisman paper to control it, but the walking corpse does. The owners of the two are not fixed.The cultivation of the deceased can take as little as one year and as much as ten years.It can only be controlled by one person. If the person who controls him dies, he will continue to kill until his spiritual power is exhausted.

These three kinds of spiritual beings gather the resentment and sorrow of the world, and except those who can control them, they have the heart to kill all aliens.For the former two, whenever they see a stranger, they will not let them go unless their bodies are dead and their souls are dead.The dead still has a sliver of reason, but the chance of being awakened is also very slim.The way of killing people is more bloody than the previous two. After killing people, they swallow them from head to toe, leaving no bones left.What's even more frightening is that the former two only kill the body, and the dead not only kill but also devour spirits.That is to say, for those who are swallowed by the dead, if the dead do not turn into ashes and pass away, they will not even have the chance to be reincarnated.

In the past, many demon soldiers were trained to be these three. Every time they met, they would give Gu Tao endless headaches. They were like fighting machines that never tire.But the current Gu Tao has low spiritual power, not even reaching the lowest spiritual dimension.Even if he stabbed a walking corpse, it was just scratching the surface.

"No, if it's not just one kind, but three kinds..." Gu Tao's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and his scalp felt a little numb.Is there anyone in the world who can control the three at the same time, and can control them remotely without having to be present in person?In the world, what kind of monsters have been raised in these years?Why does this person feed such a monster?

She didn't dare to think deeply that the current self was very likely to become their meal.She shouldered the sword on her back, held her breath, and waited for the next attack.

There was a crack in the tree, and sticky things flowed down, carrying a strong smell of blood. Gu Tao moved lightly, and something like tentacles grew out of the ground, entangled her left foot, the sticky The mushy plasma flooded her ankles, and the tentacles on the ground seemed to be nourished by irrigation, and began to thicken and enlarge, from soft to hard, with many hard spines sprouting from them.

"A place of blood and yin, walking in the forest of corpses, abandoning corpses for support, growing weeping blood trees, swallowing beards on feet, picking tendons and breaking veins, eating human feet..." Gu Tao recalled the "Ancient Formation Outer Chapter" Duan Duan, I have encountered these two things before, and I used to think that there is nothing scary about them, and they can't get close to my body, but now they are bound and can't move.The dead like to be clean, and they will never be kept in such a filthy place.The puppet has no thoughts, those things were clearly probing her reality just now, so it must be a cunning corpse.

The tentacles under the feet are looking for the best entrance to break the veins, and the walking corpses are also approaching quietly.The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is time to kill.Gu Tao judged the location and number of walking corpses by following the smell and sound.The tentacles on the feet seemed to sense a bigger enemy, and reluctantly rubbed against her feet, then retreated to the ground, and the blood in the ankles no longer rose, but submerged into the soil and decreased.

"Oops..." A bigger smell of blood suddenly approached, and Gu Tao's waist was grabbed by a silver claw, with such force that it seemed to cut her in half.

The walking corpse in front of him is actually the corpse king!Its speed and destructive power are ten times that of ordinary walking corpses, and its size is also twice that of ordinary walking corpses.All walking corpses have black claws, only the corpse king's claws are silver and glow when preying.Gu Tao looked at the corpse king with blood in his eyes—this was a sign of going berserk, he must have been hungry for a long time, so he didn't wait for his subordinates to offer food, so he did it himself.Such good luck is unique to Gu Tao.Seeing that the corpse king is going to send Gu Tao to the bloody mouth, it is getting closer...

On the other hand, Su Liquan returned to the mansion to sober up and drink. As the daughter of General Su, she lived in the barracks all year round and ate and lived with the soldiers. In fact, she was not bad at drinking, but today's fruit wine was extra strong.She was a little confused, Shen Shu had never been able to drink alcohol, but she heard the boy said that she sent her back, so she must be sober.

"Miss, Miss Shen sent someone to deliver a letter." The maidservant who was watching the night said from the corridor.

"Come in!" Su Liquan took the letter. She was sitting lazily with her arms on her knees, but she immediately sat up straight after reading the letter. out the door.

After Shen Shu informed Ruan Mei, she was called back by her father. Although she was suspicious, she still returned to the mansion, but someone came from the palace in the middle of the night and transferred Shen You to serve the sick.Shen Shu always felt uneasy in her heart, and the servant's mouth was also very tight. She pretended to be fine, but sat at the table to sort out her thoughts.All the ministers in the court.Most of them are divided into two factions, one faction supports the crown prince Yun Chengyu, and the other faction supports the queen mother's youngest son Huaiwang Yunke.The Yan family has always been at odds with the Eastern Palace, and they belong to the Empress Dowager's side, and they always want Yun Ke to take over.The Ruan family is used to adapting to the wind, never willing to show who they support or oppose.And her father, Shen You, has always supported the prince.Only General Su was outright, he refused to join any party, he was the target that both sides wanted to win over, but he really couldn't find any faults in his behavior, which also caused headaches for both sides.A few days ago, my father mentioned Su Liquan's marriage, and said that after General Su left, Su Liquan and her husband should take over the general's mansion.She stayed by Ruan Mei's side for these years, and she accidentally learned about the private house. The Yan family has always used the walking corpse incident to leave two insignificant people, and involved the Ruan family and the Yan family.

There are two uncontrollable factors in this move, one is how to get Ruan Mei to throw Gu Tao to the place where the corpses are walking, and the other is that Yan Anzang may not come to support her, and her guess is just a guess.Walking corpses like to eat young girls, and there are always young girls who die every month, but in the last month, Chunyue's eldest disciple came from Beijing, who is proficient in medicine and poison, and sick young girls can be rescued.In the recent "feeding of walking corpses", the crown prince secretly caused Ruan Mei a lot of troubles, as the walking corpses had been hungry for a long time.Gu Tao is not from Shengjing, even if he disappears suddenly, it will not arouse suspicion. The first point is to control it.The second point, when Yan Anzang received the news, with Yan Yaoling's mind, he would not fail to guess that it was a trap.If she stops her, there will definitely be troubles.It's just that when the Empress Dowager went to visit the Holy Majesty today, she "accidentally" fell to the ground. Yan Yaoling, who was deeply loved by the Empress Dowager, had already entered the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager.For the rest, just bet on the friendship between Yan Anzang and Rong Yu.

This strategy, while not perfect, is full of benefits.If it fails, the crown prince has the power to exterminate the walking corpses, if it succeeds, he can remove the high-ranking enemy.The prince's hands were clean from beginning to end.

Party enemies, friendship... Shen Shu's heart rang in chaos. General Su was old and prudent, and there was nothing wrong with him. If the matter of choosing a son-in-law fails, isn't this a good time to attack Su's mansion?She called the young man and asked him when he came back just now. The young man thought about it for a while and said that when he came back, he heard the sound of a beating watch, which was about a quarter of an hour.It was six o'clock when the boy went out, and it took about three quarters from the time he went out to the time when he came back. The boy went to report the news, and according to his walking speed, it was almost the time from Shen's residence to Su's residence.The prince's ability to guess people's hearts is naturally not weaker than hers, so why did she underestimate this level?It's just that she begged the prince not to touch the Su mansion, and the prince agreed to her. What she did this time was following the trend, and no one could be blamed for it.It's just that the prince touched her bottom line.Shen Shu squeezed the catkin tightly, and there was a chill in her eyes, like the cold wood in the corpse forest.

In the forest of walking corpses, a red snake climbed up the corpse king's arm. Gu Tao whispered: "Stupid snake, come back, don't do unnecessary things!" Point, bit down, the silver claw loosened, Gu Tao fell to the ground, Huahua crawled back.

Before he had time to blame Huahua, Gu Tao took advantage of the corpse king's pain, cut his palm with a sword, and pressed his palm on the ground on the spot, an octagonal star formation appeared, shining red light, this formation was called the Corpse Locking Formation.The corpse king was in the middle of the formation, bound by the Tunjiao under the ground.The walking corpses who just wanted to approach stopped in their tracks, not daring to approach.Gu Tao didn't dare to let go, he used blood to solidify the formation, and poured his own blood on the swallowing beard. The original black beard turned blood-colored in a short while, twice as thick as before, and twice as hard.The corpse king's hands and feet were bound, and he couldn't move. He opened two eyes like blood holes, and the black eyes were emitting green smoke.Gu Tao also sat on the outer layer of the formation, the inner layer was used to deal with the walking corpses, and the outer layer was for the caster to correct the loopholes in the formation at any time.Just now she walked around the tree for a long time, she was using blood to form a formation, but the smell of blood was too strong, which attracted the corpse king.Originally wanted to trap as many walking corpses as possible and stand out from the encirclement, but Huahua suddenly attacked the corpse king, and the walking corpses became vigilant, so she had to activate the formation in advance.But now she can only sit in the formation, although she is not in danger of her life, she cannot get out.She lost her spiritual sense and could not accurately judge the location of the walking corpse, so it would be unwise to go out hastily.

"A Tao—" Someone was calling her through sound transmission, listening to the voice—it was brother!Gu Tao's first reaction was not joy.Instead, he was worried, with the spiritual power at this time, it was already too much to protect himself, and it would be even more difficult to take her out.

"Brother, hurry up, with your strength, it's better to go out now!" Gu Tao responded.

"Where are you? I'm looking for you." Rong Yu said.With this temperament, Gu Tao knew that he would not leave even if he was told to leave. The two of them could not settle down, and the walking corpse might take advantage of the loophole.

"You go in the direction of the life blood tree, the biggest and thickest one - I set up a corpse locking array, and only locked the corpse king, there are many walking corpses around, if you want to come, be careful!" Gu Tao instructed road.

"Okay—" As soon as Rong Yu finished speaking, he was surrounded by ten walking corpses. Gu Tao didn't know what was going on with him, so he could only wait.

He smelled the rancid smell and put on a veil.For a person with severe cleanliness, if it wasn't for Gu Tao, he would definitely not let this kind of thing get close.

Together with the lightsaber, the arms of the four walking corpses were cut off, Tunjiaoxu quickly removed the arms, and returned to the ground.After several rounds of mediation, more walking corpses surrounded him, and Rong Yu gradually lost.The walking corpse slowly exhausted his strength and gradually approached him.Behind him, a middle-level and high-level zombie's hand reached up, and Rong Yu was dragged by the three in front of him, unable to withdraw and attack.Seeing that the claws were about to crush his shoulders, a sharp sword aura struck, forcibly breaking the arms of the two walking corpses.Rong Yu looked through the moonlight, and saw that the person who came was wearing a Taoist robe, it was Yan Anzang, but he had never seen him use a sword before, so he was a little surprised.And didn't you tell him not to come?He didn't leave his address, how did he find himself?These were just fleeting thoughts, "Watch out for the right side!" Yan Anzang split open the walking corpse's brain, and a burst of brains came out. He held Rong Yu's hand to prevent him from being splashed.

"Thank you—" After the two killed forty walking corpses, the rest of the walking corpses did not dare to approach and retreated to the lair one after another. After Rong Yu thanked him, he talked about Gu Tao's situation.

Yan Anzang let go of his hand, and said: "You and me, don't be so polite, I sense the aura of the corpse king, Gu Tao's sister must be not far away." Rong Yu looked at his sword, although he couldn't see it. It's real, but you can see the silver streamer on it, and the faint red dark lines glowing faintly.

"This sword doesn't have a name yet, if Rong Yu is interested, can you appreciate it when you go back?" Yan Anzang could still laugh at this moment.

"No need. Please lead the way." Rong Yu withdrew his gaze and asked Yan Anzang to lead the way.

There was only a howl from the west of the forest, and the sound of slapping, ten blood trees were uprooted.The two hurried to the west, only to see a corpse king holding up two life-blood trees, pouring spiritual power into the life-blood trees, and slapping the barrier of the corpse locking formation vigorously, Gu Tao hid in the formation, running around , Constantly repairing the loopholes and cracks in the enchantment.In the center of the formation, there is also a corpse king, which is being locked by swallowing feet.

"Two corpse kings? Male and female corpse gu, feed on corpses, and give birth to new corpses. Repeatedly, those who die are all inferior corpses, and the walking corpses left behind have heavier resentment and stronger spiritual power. This corpse raiser Humans obviously want to 'survive the fittest', such a way of raising them is unheard of!" Yan Anzang said in surprise, his face very solemn.

"There has always been only one corpse king... It seems that there is a family here..." Looking at Gu Tao who was surrounded, Rong Yu clenched the sword in his hand, ice condensed on the sword, and his body tensed a bit.

Seeing that there are more and more cracks on the barrier, and the gaps are getting bigger and bigger, the male corpses in the formation are tearing at Tunjiao's whiskers with all their might.Gu Tao's body without spiritual power was already struggling, and the female corpses outside were trying to consume her strength. She formed a formation with blood, which seemed to be coming fiercely, but as time passed, the blood stains dissipated, and the strength of the formation was exhausted. Without the maintenance of spiritual power, the many loopholes in the formation will be revealed.

The soul of the formation mainly lies in the strength of mental power.If her energy is broken, the formation will be undone naturally.Her body was already reaching its limit.

Her eyes darkened, she knelt down on one knee with her sword as a support, "I can't, I can't fall down here!"

Seeing that Gu Tao was already struggling, Rong Yu picked up the Hechen sword and wanted to rush over.Yan Anzang stopped him and shook his head at him, "This is not the best time." Rong Yu knew that he was reckless in doing so, but if Gu Tao died right now, he might never be able to save him.

"Your sister won't be knocked down so easily by one or two walking corpses." Yan Anzang seemed to understand Gu Tao's temperament very well, comforting Rong Yu with an extremely calm tone.

Indeed, at this moment I rushed out rashly. From the perspective of spiritual power, these two corpse kings are already at the late copper dimension level. With his spiritual level, he can't kill them at all. The sudden approach and fight of strangers will make them Running away puts Gu Tao in a more dangerous situation.This place is full of darkness and blood, but whether it is a walking corpse or a human being, there are objects that must be redeemed.

The female corpse is waiting for an opportunity, and Rong and Yan Anzang are also waiting for an opportunity.Whoever can seize this opportunity will save his life and win the final victory.
