In the school lounge, around Xu Feng's recliner, in addition to Zhou Zhi and Li Dong, there were a few more people, all of whom were admissions teachers from six top universities.

"Three seconds have passed..." an admissions teacher muttered softly.

"It's been almost a minute!"

"Why isn't there anything unusual? Even if he's really dead, a corpse would appear, unless..."

Several people discussed in a low voice that they had never seen such a situation before.

You should know that in this kind of single-person secret realm that opens the official qualifications of the secret realm apostle, no matter how long the apostle stays in it, only three seconds will pass in the outside world.

This is one of the special features of the single-player secret realm that requires official qualifications to be unlocked. Even if you are trapped in the secret realm for your entire life, a dead body of old age will appear within three seconds.

Even if the body is eaten alive by the monster without any residue left, a faint shadow of the soul will appear after three seconds, lasting for a while before slowly disappearing.

In short, no matter what happens in the secret realm, the real world will respond after three seconds. As it is now, almost a minute has passed, but there has been no abnormality. Not to mention seeing it with my own eyes, I have never even heard of it.

"This is an S-level single-player secret realm. Not to mention a student with little experience, even the senior apostles may not be sure of completing the main mission..."

"Since there are no corpses, it means there is still a glimmer of hope. If he can really pass the S-level single-player secret realm, my Yanjing University will recruit him no matter what, at any cost!"

"Haha, what a joke! Every year, the best talents are almost monopolized by your Yanjing and Xuanbing universities, but how many secret realm apostles who can really stand on their own are actually trained? This year, I will suggest to the Ministry of Education to cut the financial allocations to your two universities so that they can be used to train real apostles!"

"Haha, this is the biggest joke I've ever heard. Let's not talk about Yanjing University for now. My Xuanbing Academy has many schools of thought, including Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Military Science, Law, Mohism, Medicine, Yin and Yang, Vertical and Horizontal, Qiankun, Tai Chi... What kind of students can't our Xuanbing Academy teach?"

…

Admissions teachers from several universities started arguing with each other, while Zhou Zhi and Li Dong looked at the recliners with worried faces, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Should we call the director and report the situation?" Zhou Zhi touched his head and said in a low voice.

"The director is injured now and needs to rest. The current situation is unclear, so let's wait until it is confirmed before reporting!" Li Dong hesitated and gently adjusted his glasses. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation, and it was even more difficult because it involved the director's son.

While everyone was arguing about Xu Feng, Xu Feng had already walked along the path in the deserted village and arrived at a manor at the foot of the mountain.

This manor, which covers a large area, stands alone at the foot of the mountain, with no village in front and no shop behind. Even the mountain road up the mountain is a long distance away from here.

Burning white lanterns, a ferocious-looking statue of a god holding a sword, an antique wooden door, and a corpse in a yellow Taoist robe who had been dead for who knows how long...

There was silence all around. The most common chirping of insects and birds in the forest had all disappeared. The dead silence revealed a hint of desolation and weirdness.

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground facing the gate of the charity cemetery, who knew how long it had been dead, Xu Feng's heart skipped a beat.

The corpse still maintained the posture of holding the sword in the right hand and making sword gestures with the left hand, but the flesh and blood had long since rotted into ashes. Under the rotten Taoist robe, there were only white bones, maintaining the posture at the last moment before death.

It was obvious at first glance that this peach wood sword was no ordinary item. The hilt and the sword spine were carved with dragons and phoenixes, as well as mysterious and complex patterns. There was a charred spot on the edge of the sword, like the mark left by a lightning strike, which had penetrated deep into the sword edge.

Xu Feng grabbed the peach wood sword and felt it was light in his hand, as if it had no weight at all. After observing it carefully, a look of disappointment immediately appeared on his face.

With a slight shake, the peach wood sword instantly turned into waste. Xu Feng shook his head, scattered the ashes in his hand to the ground, clapped his hands, and thought to himself: "It's been too long, the spiritual energy has been lost, and it has become waste. What a pity, what a pity!"

This peach wood sword looks quite good, and its grade is at least spiritual grade, and it could even be a magic grade weapon. It's a pity that it has now become scrap and turned into a pile of useless ashes.

Xu Feng continued to search and found a few more talismans from the corpse. The spiritual energy in the talismans had long dissipated, but the patterns were still there. Just as Xu Feng was trying to trace the phoenix seal on them, a mountain breeze blew by, and the paper talismans in his hand immediately turned into flying ash and drifted away.

Xu Feng found nothing, sighed, stood up and walked towards the charity cemetery.

After entering the gate, there is a courtyard covered with weeds. In the center of the courtyard stands a bronze incense burner more than one meter tall. It has long been rotten due to wind and sun, and a thick layer of rust has condensed on the surface.

Passing the bronze incense burner, Xu Feng came to the main hall. At this time, the door of the main hall was open. Above the door, there was a wooden plaque covered with cracks, and two large traditional Chinese characters "Yi Zhuang" could be vaguely seen.

There were eight coffins placed in the hall, seven of which were black and lined up in the main hall. The eighth was a dark red coffin, which was placed horizontally at the feet of the statue in front of the altar, and its surface was wrapped with black chains.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Each of the eight coffins was pasted with a yellow paper talisman. The hall was leaking air everywhere, and mountain wind would blow through from time to time, making the talismans rustle, which was distressing to watch. People were afraid that the mountain wind would blow away the talismans, causing the bodies in the coffins to suddenly sit up.

"Is this... a talisman to ward off evil?" Xu Feng stared at the talisman on the coffin and suddenly felt that it looked familiar. He took out a talisman that he had drawn from his arms and compared them with each other. He found that the two talismans were more than 90% similar, except for the pattern behind the phoenix seal that looked like a phoenix tail was slightly different.

Xu Feng was curious and kept drawing the talisman pattern on the coffin in the air with his fingers.

Once, twice, three times, ...

After describing the void more than ten times, a voice suddenly sounded in Xu Feng's mind.

[You have learned a new talisman, the Corpse Suppression Talisman! The specific effect can be viewed in the skill column.]

A smile appeared on Xu Feng's face. It was indeed a new talisman, only one word different from the evil-suppressing talisman. He just didn't know what effect it would have.

Opening the skill bar, Xu Feng checked it himself.

[Corpse Suppression Talisman: Level 0, proficiency 0%. After drawing the talisman, use it on the corpse and stick it on the corpse to suppress the corpse qi and prevent the corpse from becoming rigid. If the target has become a zombie, sticking it on its body can suppress the corpse qi in the body and restrict its movements. The effect of the void talisman is greatly improved, and the attack method is changed from close-range attack to long-range attack. After suppressing, you can seize control for a short time and control the corpse/zombie to fight! ] 360 Mental Power
