Chapter 674 The Dead Body in the Cave

Seeing her like this, Yue Fuli said, "Okay."

Si He raised a faint smile at the corner of her lips and walked into the dark valley with him.

The valley in late autumn seems to sink into a forgotten darkness.

The cliffs stood tall and dark, like a giant hand about to close, tightly grasping the entire forest.

Because it is late autumn, most of the once lush treetops have withered, revealing many bare trunks that are grayish and pale. Their rugged posture resembles a pile of exposed bones.

When the autumn wind blows, the fallen leaves flutter and drift slowly in the forest. In the dim light, they look like thousands of wandering ghosts.

The wind was whistling and howling, and the air was filled with a faint smell of corruption and an omnipresent chill that made people feel uncomfortable.

The rotten leaves piled on the ground are very thick and layered. When people step on them, they feel very soft. This soft and sinking feeling underfoot is also creepy.

There are also tangled tree roots and dead stems exposed from the soil. If you are not careful, it is easy to trip your ankles, as if they are shackles extended from the land itself.

The yin energy here is very heavy. Anyone who steps in here can vaguely, more or less, feel the strangeness here. The yin and cold here are different from the ordinary cold outside. Every breath is like inhaling cotton wool soaked in coldness, sinking deeply into the lungs, and the coldness then spreads quietly to every part of the body.

The guards glanced around the valley vigilantly, their nerves subconsciously tense.

Especially when passing by some rotten animal carcasses along the way, they couldn't help but take a few more glances, and the vigilance and alertness in their eyes became even deeper.

Because the animal corpses were decayed in a strange way, as if they had died of poisoning, and their color was black.

In forests like this, there are usually many scavenger birds or some small animals that eat carrion, and it is impossible to let the carcasses of these animals rot.

But that's the fact. Apparently, there's something wrong with these blackened animal carcasses, which is why scavengers won't eat them.

Si He glanced at them indifferently. Without looking closely, she could feel the strong yin energy contained in the rotten corpses. The yin energy here was even stronger than before.

There really is something strange happening here.

As we walked deeper into the valley, the darker the place got, the more yin energy became.

If an ordinary person came here, they might just feel that the temperature here is relatively low and the environment is rather creepy, but anyone with a little bit of Taoism or rich experience can see that there must be powerful evil creatures here.

At this moment, the talismans tied to Yue Fuli and Si He began to sway slowly, but this was not due to wind or movement.

Si He looked at a cave ahead from afar, her eyes deep. After a while, she stopped and said to Yue Fuli, "Husband, I'm going to take a look at the cave ahead. You just wait here."

He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Si He gently shook his hand, as if with a hint of coquettishness, and said with a smile: "Don't worry."

"Let's go together." he said.

Helpless, Si He had no choice but to let him do as he pleased, "Okay."

The group continued walking towards the cave until they reached the front of it, then stopped, because when they arrived here, a heart-pounding feeling suddenly came over them.

Inside the cave, about a few meters away, there was a human body lying. Judging from the clothes, it was a civilian who must have gone into the mountains to hunt.

The light in the cave was dim, and I could only vaguely see the legs of the corpse. I couldn't see the specific situation clearly. The reason why I thought it was a corpse was because there was a strong stench of corpse here.

Seeing this, the guards drew their swords or took out their treasures to defend against evil things. They were already quite skilled in dealing with such situations. Of course, they were definitely not as good as the Taoists who specialized in this.

However, the treasures they carry are a great advantage. Those things are extraordinary and can easily deal with ordinary evil creatures.

Si He narrowed her eyes and stared into the dim cave. The darkness was no obstacle to her eyes.

Apart from this corpse, there is no other evil thing in the cave. At least the potential danger can only be the abyss under the rock.

Si He took a quick look and saw that there was no danger, so he let the guards take the lead and went into the cave to check the situation.

She and Yue Fuli walked behind.

As she walked, she unnoticeably took out a special talisman from her ring, just in case.

The guards took out a tinder, and the faint light was enough to see the situation clearly.

The corpse was lying on its front, holding a bronze talisman mirror in its hand, pressing against its heart.

The skin color of the corpse was black, and it did not appear to be rotten, but it emitted a foul smell. It was obvious that it had already turned into a corpse, but it was lying so quietly only because it was suppressed by the talisman mirror.

Judging from the current situation, this guy coveted the bronze mirror embedded in the cave. After taking it down rashly, he suffered disaster and died here. He deserved to die.

Without a bronze mirror to suppress the evil in the cave, the evil spirit from the underground abyss surged up, which made the atmosphere here extremely sinister.

"Take out a suppression talisman and stick it on the corpse's forehead, then embed the talisman mirror back there."

Si He gave an order to the guard and then pointed to a depression on the side of the rock wall.

"Yes." The guards responded and quickly did as they were told.

When the talisman paper was pasted on the corpse and the bronze mirror was taken away, because the talisman power on the talisman paper was weaker than that of the bronze mirror, the corpse trembled slightly the next moment. At the same time, its eyes suddenly opened, which was very horrifying!

The guards immediately became more alert and took strict precautions.

Si He just glanced at it lightly, then turned to look at the underground abyss not far away.

An invisible evil aura was rising from there, and the things below seemed to be ready to make a move.

However, there are several treasures suppressing this place in other parts of the cave. Even if one bronze mirror is missing, only some evil energy will leak out of the underground abyss, and those ghost creatures will not be able to escape for the time being.

Si He let go of Yue Fuli's hand and took a few steps towards the underground abyss. She stared at the dark underground opening seriously and sensed it carefully, but did not notice any special movements.

After a while, she moved her feet and kicked a small stone beside her feet.

"Dong dong dong..."

The stone rolled down into the abyss underground and made a series of noises when it hit the rock wall. The sound became smaller and smaller and became very deep.

Until the sound of the rolling stones could no longer be heard, and there was no reaction from below, as if it was just an ordinary underground abyss.

A faint sneer appeared on Si He's lips.

At this time, the guards reinserted the bronze mirror into the rock wall. The next moment, everyone clearly felt that the coldness here immediately faded a lot, and the inexplicable aura that made people's hearts palpitate disappeared.
