Chapter 782 Alive?

"Where did this body go?"

My pupils shrank, and a chill ran down my spine and instantly spread to my whole body.

Weird, this Xu Village is really weird.

Not only is there no trace of living people, but the dead were all buried together.

The most important thing is, if everyone in this village is dead, then what put these bodies in?

Moreover, why is there a missing body in this coffin? Is this body a fraud? Did it run away by itself, or was it taken away by something?

"How did Xie Tianxiang survive in such a strange village? Is he still in this village now?" I swallowed my saliva with a 'gulp' sound, and then slowly closed the coffin lid.

After closing the coffin lid, I quietly retreated out of the house.

But just as I retreated a few steps, suddenly, I felt my whole body stiffen, and a hairy, cold breath rose along the soles of my feet, and in the blink of an eye it rushed straight to my head!

"Who!" I raised my hand and pressed it on the Miao Dao at my waist, staring and shouting in a low voice.

When I was retreating just now, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a person sitting in the corner of this house.

The man just sat quietly in the corner, his body straight and motionless, without making any sound.

Before, my attention was almost focused on the coffin in the middle of the room, and I didn't pay attention to other things, so I didn't notice it at the first time. When I saw it now, I was shocked and my heart skipped a beat. Even after experiencing so many storms, I almost screamed out.

People's courage can indeed be trained, but people's instinctive reaction to fear is not so easy to restrain.

I took a deep breath to calm myself, and then opened my mouth again, whispering: "Who?"

There was still no response, as if the figure sitting in the dark was a sculpture.

"Isn't it a person?" I frowned and slowly approached the figure.

When I got closer, with the help of the moonlight, I suddenly saw clearly that it was indeed a person.

This was an old man over 70 years old. He was wearing a Zhongshan suit and sitting upright on a chair with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep and motionless.

I sniffed and immediately smelled a pungent smell from the old man.

"Is this the body in the coffin?" I squinted my eyes and looked up and down at the old man, and found that the old man's body was indeed covered with a layer of yellow-orange corpse oil. Under the moonlight, his skin exuded a strange luster.

"Strange, why is the old man in the coffin sitting here?" I frowned and murmured in my heart.

I didn't feel any signs of transformation from the old man, so I was puzzled.

Just as I was about to use the Miao Dao to pry open the old man's clothes and take a closer look, I suddenly felt something was wrong. My whole body suddenly straightened up, and the Miao Dao at my waist was pulled out by me. Then, I almost subconsciously took two steps back.

"What's going on?"

At that moment, I suddenly felt that there seemed to be something extra in the old man's body.

Originally, the old man's body was not unusual at all, it was just an extremely ordinary body, but at that moment, I suddenly had an illusion that something had entered the old man's body.

Almost at the moment when this thought came to my mind, I suddenly saw that the old man's eyelids were twitching, as if the old man's eyeballs were spinning wildly under his eyelids.

Moreover, the old man's fingers also trembled slightly at this time.

"Is this... a fake corpse?" I thought to myself strangely. With my current level of Taoism, if a corpse wants to be a fake corpse, then I can't help but detect the corpse aura. Why doesn't this corpse emit any corpse aura?

"If it's not a fake corpse, then why did this old man suddenly move?" I frowned secretly: "Could it be... resurrected from the dead?"

This thought made my heart jump, because resurrection from the dead is much more bizarre than a fake corpse.

I have seen many zombies and ghosts, and even in my body, there are dozens of old ghosts.

But I have never seen a person who came back to life.

But then my heart skipped a beat, because I suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Could it be that... Xie Tianxiang is refining a substitute puppet, and all these corpses are the substitute puppets that he is currently refining but has not yet succeeded in refining?"

I couldn't help but curse inwardly when I thought of this, thinking, damn, if this is really the case, doesn't it mean that all the people in this village were killed by Xie Tianxiang?

Just as I was looking at the corpse and thinking wildly, suddenly, I saw the corpse twitching violently.

He was twitching violently. At first, he was just sitting on the chair, his body twitching constantly, but after just a few seconds, his body suddenly fell to the ground, twisting and twitching like he was having an epileptic seizure!

I stepped back two steps, then held the Miao Dao in my hand and stared at the corpse closely.

At this time, I was not really scared. Although the scene in front of me was weird, I had seen weirder things.

After about a few minutes, I saw that the corpse, which was originally twitching violently, suddenly froze, and then the arms of the corpse began to move slowly.

The corpse looked like it had died not long ago, but it was also in a state of rigor mortis. When it moved, its joints would make a continuous "crackling" sound.

This crisp sound lasted for about a few dozen seconds, and then, the corpse's eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened!

Oh my god!

The moment the corpse opened its eyes, I was really shocked, and my heart trembled.

The corpse seemed not to see me. After its eyeballs rolled around in its eye sockets, it slowly climbed up from the ground.

Then, I saw him turning around in the room with a stiff body.

His movements were very stiff, like a puppet, and his eyes were fixed, which looked extremely weird.

However, as he turned more and more circles, his walking movements gradually became more natural.

I held my breath, hid in the corner, squinted my eyes and stared at the corpse, but he seemed to be unaware of my presence. After walking around the room for a few times, he coughed, and then turned around and walked out of the room. After

the corpse left the room, I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to myself, what the hell is going on? This corpse is actually alive?
