Chapter 17: : Excavating the dead at night

In the dark and dilapidated dock, moonlight came in from the cracks.
The skinny old scholar's eyes were frosty indifferent right now, and the souls of the two thieves kept begging for mercy in front of him.
Baiya has no shackles and regains freedom. He fell to the ground with a butt, and he might not forget the feeling at that moment.
The thief's soul flew behind his ears and brushed over most of his body, bringing him a piercing chill.
"Please, forgive us!"
"Don't kill me, don't kill me. I have money and I will give you all my savings."
The soul keeps rolling and wailing.
The scene suddenly turned around.
Necromancer!
Corrupt darkness, mysterious death, cold, brutal, playing with the dead, manipulating the soul...
Necromancers have never been tolerated by orthodoxy, and everyone shouts and beats. In the Shengming Empire, hunting and killing necromancers is even greater. As long as they are found, they must be vigorously wanted for hunting, and they have never been tolerated.
Bai Ya couldn't help shaking her teeth.
Since childhood, he has heard many scary stories. The protagonist of these stories is often the Necromancer.
Even though he had known the identity of Cangbeard before. But at this moment, the strange and terrifying scene of Cangbeard interrogating his soul still aroused endless fear in Bai Ya's heart.
Cangsu asked about the cultists.
Thieves are always well informed.
The voice of a thief's soul hurried: "The mayor led a large number of people and surrounded this small dock. After the city defense army broke in, they saw the cultists open the floor, trying to escape into the water. As a result, the priest still had the city defense army. The commander shot together and subdued him."
The soul of another thief immediately added: "After the cultist was arrested, the mayor discussed with others and hanged him in public in the afternoon a week later."
"The mayor, the priest, and the leaders of the city defense army, for the sake of political achievement and glory, publicized this matter, and even hired a bard to compose a piece of music. Every night, the mermaid’s tavern must sing at least once. ."
"In fact, the actual arrest process was very smooth, not as tortuous as the song."
Cangxu squinted his eyes, and he felt strange.
The symbol under the floor was clearly carved on purpose. How could a person with this symbol be caught in this way?
"Where is his body?" Cangxu asked.
"He was hanged, and then hung on a noose for a week. Finally, he was buried in a mass grave in the back mountain of the town." The thieves' souls are endless.
Cangxu fell into silence.
His gaze shifted to the wooden floor that could be lifted again.
He now feels this board is very strange.
If this cultist is the identity that Cangxu thinks in his heart, he will never be arrested like this, just hanged like this. And this wooden floor is not necessary at all.
"No, this may be a disguise!"
Cang Xu's heart suddenly shook, and a flash of light in his mind gave him a new perspective.
"How was the identity of this cultist exposed?" Cangxu asked again.
This time, the souls of the two thieves shook their heads.
They only know that it is some rumors. The pastor of the church received the tip first and found that the cultists behaved strangely. Then the priest found the mayor, and the mayor sent city guards to investigate and confirmed the evil faith of the cultists.
Cangsu nodded and started singing again.
The souls of the two thieves were in pain, and they screamed and rolled frantically in the air.
After a dozen breaths, one of them suddenly burst, while the other soul stabilized. The original translucent human form turned into dark blue. The original human appearance was still relatively clear, but after the transformation, his face became very blurred, leaving only a mouth, two eye sockets, and the rest of the nose and ears. All disappeared.
Undead Spell-Ghost Making!
This spell uses the soul of life as a material to create ghosts. Obviously, the spell has a certain success rate, as it is now: only one of the two souls turns into a ghost.
After the transformation of the ghost of the thief, he lost a lot of things, not just the appearance of a person, he no longer begged for mercy, but floated quietly in the air, waiting for his master, Cangbeard's next instructions.
"Float down and check the condition of the seabed nearby." Cangbeard gave an order, and the ghost floated leisurely, directly penetrating the wooden floor of the dock and quickly blending into the sea.
"Young man, I hope you can help me again, can you?" Cangsu smiled and said to Bai Ya.
Bai Ya froze for a moment, nodded quickly, ran out and guarded the door.
Cangbeard sang again while pulling out a pitch-black bone.
After the chanting ended, the pitch-black bones also turned into smoke and completely dispersed.
With the help of casting materials, Cangxu successfully displayed another undead spell-Ghost Eye.
When he opened his eyes, his eyes were completely dark.
The situation of the bottom of the sea is directly presented in his mind. While manipulating the ghost with spirit, he carefully searches the bottom of the sea.
Discovery!
Soon after, he realized that there was a magic circle hidden in the bottom of the sea, the magic circle covering the entrance.
Because at the bottom of the sea, this entrance is like a circular valve.
"Below the valve is probably an underground research room!" Cang Xu estimated in his heart.
Then, he manipulated the ghost and tried carefully.
The magic circle only has the function of disguising and isolating, and there is no counterattack or trap.
Because it is protected by the power of magic, the ghost of the thieves can't use their own advantages and penetrate directly.
Cangxu did not venture to try.
He thought for a while, and temporarily gave up his plan to break through the magic circle and the valve.
White buds circle the marina and patrol the beach. The beach under the moonlight was originally beautiful, but the young man had just witnessed the evil scene of the necromancer killing two thieves and extracting souls to make ghosts. Bai Ya had no thoughts to appreciate the beauty.
He looked up at the moon, feeling a moment of confusion.
"I want to be a knight. Why are you here? Am I an accomplice of the Necromancer? In those stories and poems, I am a villain."
Bai Ya was distressed.
He wanted to be a knight, not to be the evil follower of an evil necromancer.
Squeak.
With a sound, Cangsu opened the door and walked out of the small dock.
Bai Ya hurriedly greeted her, but soon, she paused slightly.
Behind Cangbeard was the thief ghost floating.
"Let's go." Cang Xu said lightly.
Bai Ya followed obediently, but subconsciously kept a distance from Cangxu.
The young people originally thought they were going to meet Sandao and Spirulina, but the path was obviously wrong.
"Where are we going?" Bai Ya asked worriedly.
"Ha ha ha, go to more important places and verify one of my conjectures." Cangsu smiled.
If you don't know the identity of the Cangbeard Necromancer, then this smile is very natural. But at this moment, Bai Ya always felt that Cangbeard's smile was filled with an icy chill, which was extremely permeating.
Young people have mixed feelings about beards.
On the one hand, he saved Cangsu's life. If it weren't for Bai Ya, Cang's whiskers would be eaten by the green lizard.
On the other hand, after Bai Ya coma, Cangxu advocates eating the flesh of Bai Ya. Bai Ya learned of this afterwards, and after understanding it, he naturally hated Cangxu.
On the other hand, Cangxu has taught Bai Ya many times, and his knowledge has made young people admire from the heart.
In the end, Cangxu finally exposed the identity of the Necromancer on the strange island, and Bai Ya was a little more afraid of it.
There was a ghost leading the way, and the two soon came to the mass grave in Houshan.
Looking at the tombstones toppling over, withered grass overgrown, and the night breeze blowing, Bai Ya looked calm.
He doesn't worry about any ghosts coming to trouble him.
"There is a Necromancer by my side." At this moment, Bai Ya had a subtle sense of security because of his beard.
The ghost flew for a long time, and stopped in one place leisurely.
He pointed his finger below him and made a whimper.
Cangxu turned and looked at Bai Ya: "Young man, there is one thing I want you to do."
Soon, Bai Ya found a dead wood pile, and after splitting it, it formed a simple wooden spade.
The young man held a wooden in his hand and began to plan the ground.
"What am I doing?"
"I'm actually digging the body!"
"How on earth did it become like this."
"I want to be a knight, not an accomplice of the necromancer."
The soil gradually opened, Bai Ya was suddenly startled, and almost fell to the ground again.
He found the body buried in the mud.
"Very well done, young man, take him out completely. Don't be too rude." Cangsu said.
Bai Ya held his breath, the corpse was too smelly, and the whole flesh and blood was in a half-rotted state. In some places, bones were rotten, and in some places, there was still flesh and white maggots wriggling inside.
Bai Ya resisted the fear and nausea and tried his best to dig out the corpse.
But Cangsu squatted down, looking at the male corpse without any disgust. His movements are very skillful, and what makes Bai Ya fear even more is the attitude of the beard.
His attitude towards this male corpse is no different from the corpse of those wild beasts.
When Bai Ya was on the fascinating island, she saw Shigbeard dissecting the bodies of those artificial monsters more than once. Under his calm eyes, curiosity is hidden, and the wonderful pleasure of satisfying curiosity through practical exploration.
"Young man, do you know? Although people are dead, in many cases, the corpse can tell us many secrets." As expected, Cangxu was very happy.
Bai Ya wondered: "My lord, why don't you just use the magic just now? As long as we summon the soul of the dead, we can ask everything."
Cangxu shook his head: "After a person dies, the existence of souls is time-limited. This is not only the shackles of the resurrection magic, but also the magic of the undead. He has been dead for a long time, and the soul has disappeared. . But precisely because of this, it can explain some problems even more."
"what is the problem?"
"The deceased is not the real cultist."
"what?"
"He found the hapless ghost who died for him." Cangxu said, standing up straight, extending his foot and hooking lightly, then the deceased's body was turned over and turned into a back to the sky, facing the ground. Posture.
Then, Cangxu took out the medicine packet from his arms and sprinkled the powder.
He muttered, and his spirit moved the magic contained in the powder, and the air faintly fluctuated.
The powder fell on the corpse and quickly set off a star-like phantom.
The phantom is constantly changing, like blue sea waves, and like a glimpse of fish scales.
"These should be the magical skills of the Charm Blue God." Cangsu smiled, "Please bury him again."
"Ah? Do you want to bury it?"
"The deceased is the big one, let's go to the soil for peace." Cang Xu sighed.
Bai Ya couldn't help muttering in her heart: "It's obviously your reason, we just came here to dig the corpse."
Fortunately, after burying the body, Cangxu led Bai Ya back to the town.
The two successfully merged with the blue algae and Sandao.
"We have checked and there is no problem on the dock. We have found a lot of supplies, including the things we proposed. The empire is sincere, this is not a trap." Sandao said.
Cangsu nodded: "I have also gained a lot here. If the truth is the same as I guessed, maybe we can solve the problem of the mermaid's fairy tale!"
