Among the five of us, only Wang Yang performed the best. She turned her head and looked around anxiously, shining the flashlight here and there. She was just worried about her boyfriend's safety, and her fear of ghosts was not that strong.

The forest is basically flat, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of dead leaves. It makes a rustling sound when you step on it, and it feels very soft under your feet, much more comfortable than the stone ground outside.

I walked forward tremblingly for more than 20 meters, but I didn't find any obvious footprints or other traces on the ground. I couldn't help but wonder, I just heard Chen Ming's voice very close, as if he was at the edge of the woods, why can't I see any clues? Could it be that he can perform Qinggong, like the kind that walks on snow without leaving any trace, coming and going without leaving any trace? Damn, do you think you are shooting a martial arts movie

Just when I was wondering what was going on, I suddenly saw a person floating on a tree in front of me!

How can a person float? This sentence is totally illogical. It should be a person hanging there, dangling constantly. Is he dead? !

Wang Yang was the first to scream, which immediately caused a chain reaction. Shen Bing and Qu Mo also screamed. Wang Zijun was so shameless that he stuffed his entire fist into his mouth and made a strange sound.

Of course, I was also shocked. I quickly jumped in front of them and shone the flashlight on the "person". It was really a dead person! It was actually a mummy!

Their faces and skin were dried up and shriveled, and their complexion was very dark, like the color of aged vinegar. Their big eyes bulged outward, and no matter from which angle you looked at them, they were staring at you. It would be strange if they were not afraid.

The man was tied tightly around his neck with a rope, hanging on a thick branch, and his clothes had decayed to only a few pieces, but fortunately they covered the sensitive parts. I was very curious, what does the dried part of the mummy look like

It's a bit weird. The climate in the south is humid, especially in the woods, so it's impossible for a dried corpse to appear. This kind of mummification phenomenon should appear in the windy and dry environment of the northwest. It goes against scientific common sense to appear here.

Wang Yang was still covering his face and screaming. Shen Bing and the other three had come to their senses. A mummy was not as scary as a rotten corpse. After all, this thing often appeared on TV science programs or in archaeological magazines. For example, the corpse of the Loulan woman in Xinjiang was dug out from any ancient tomb from time to time. It was nothing strange.

I walked up to it and took a closer look. This mummy had been hanging here for at least a few years, because the rope around its neck looked very old. It seemed that he had something in his mouth, his cheeks were bulging, and his lips were protruding forward.

I took out the peach wood sword and stabbed the corpse's jaw hard. The corpse's mouth suddenly opened, and a wax ball the size of a quail egg fell from its mouth and rolled to my feet. I bent down to pick it up and saw that this person must be a fellow traveler.

This is a "corpse-preserving pill". Holding it in the mouth can keep the body from decaying forever. It is a secret of Taoism. The pill is sealed with wax to prevent it from being corroded by corpse fluid. I was stunned when I looked at the pill. Could this person be the master mentioned in Shen Bing's father's diary

At this moment, the four of them screamed again. I looked up hurriedly and saw that the mummy's body began to rot rapidly. The speed was so fast that it was unbelievable. Almost at the moment I looked up, the shriveled flesh completely disappeared, leaving only a bare white skeleton!

This is not the weirdest thing. What is even weirder is that Bai Sensen’s mouth opened and closed, and a breath of black air came out!
