Chapter 304: There is no distinction between reality and illusion
Chapter 304 There is no distinction between truth and fantasy
After a while, Zhu Wen, still dressed in white and wearing a pair of sunglasses, came to Ma Cai's house soon. The full-text and ad-free novels are all on Aishang Novel Network biquge.info Saito Ichi, who was waiting for her, quickly explained to her what happened, and said: "I can't see the clues, in addition to the secret of the method, it is also very likely that there are masters who interfere with the shielding of the heavenly machine, I don't know if you can see it." ”
"It seems to have something to do with something in this dress. Unexpectedly, Zhu Wen was effortless, and after entering the door, she looked at Ma Cai lying half-dead on the bed, and her eyes quickly turned to a piece of clothing hanging in the corner of the room.
"I'm ashamed, I really have a ...... in the art industry" I didn't see any clues for a long time, but Zhu Wen saw through it at a glance, and Saito smiled self-deprecatingly. Then he reached out and took off the garment, and soon found some change from it, including a few silver yuan, and on the front was Yuan Shikai's head. This kind of silver dollar, commonly known as "Yuan Datou", was the most common use in northern China at that time.
"That's it, I see the line of cause and effect. Zhu Wen pointed to one of the silver rounds and nodded affirmatively.
This silver yuan looks very ordinary, and it also does not carry any corpse qi, yin qi or the like, but since Zhu Wen said it, Saito Yi also paid enough attention to it, and took the silver yuan outside the house to the sunlight to carefully identify it, and finally let him see the doorway clearly.
Under the sunlight, there was a mark on the jagged edge of this silver round, faintly revealing some bloodstains, but this blood stain was almost earthy yellow, if it weren't for Saito's habit of identifying cultural relics, and his keen observation, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
"Master Qi, this silver yuan ......" The Ma Cai family, who was crying on the side, suddenly became a little anxious when they saw that Saito was not saving people but was searching for money in other people's clothes.
"There's something wrong with this money, and you can't use it anymore. Saito knew that they were pitiful, and while taking away the silver yuan, he secretly stuffed them with a dozen silver yuan, and asked, "How did this silver yuan come from?"
The other party was at a loss, saying that Ma Cai had lost all his money in gambling recently, but he didn't know that he suddenly had money yesterday, so he went to gamble for a night at night, and he didn't know whether he picked up the money or borrowed it.
"Can you find the previous owner of the silver yuan?" Saito asked Zhu Wen again. Zhu Wen carefully identified it, shook her head and said: "The previous master is not here, the farther away from Yinyuan and the longer the separation time, the thinner the causal line will be, and it will be difficult to identify." ”
"It's okay, the other dead people should have the same thing, I'll look for any clues. After Saito finished speaking, he and Zhu Wen went to the place where Huang Ergou died. I saw that there was already a group of people around there, and there were many discussions, but most of them looked frightened, and they only dared to follow the onlookers from afar. The mayor of the town, Wu Sanyuan, led four security guards to maintain order at the scene, and the mummified body of Huang Ergou had been tied with thick ropes, dragged to an open area, exposed to the sun, and sprinkled with a layer of glutinous rice. A batch of firewood was also piled up nearby, ready to cremate the body at any time.
It turns out that most of the places where the Yimei Dao people are willing to stay are haunted by ghosts and spirits, so these townspeople can be regarded as having a plan to deal with it. Generally, if a person is killed by a zombie, the corpse poison will be dissipated after sun exposure, and the corpse will not be able to cheat the corpse, and some corpses with deep corpse poison will even quickly turn into ashes after contact with sunlight.
"Master Qi, fortunately, you are still here" Seeing Saito Yi and Zhu Wen coming, the ant-like mayor on the hot pot immediately greeted him, and asked repeatedly: "What should I do now? Is it a zombie's sin?"
Nowadays, warlords are fighting each other, and law and order are chaotic in various places, except for the murder cases, which are often solved by the local people. In such a superstitious town, and after encountering this kind of weird incident, the role of Mr. Yin and Yang like Saito is still recognized by the people and semi-officially, so everyone is not reporting the case at the first time, but looking for Mr. Yin and Yang. If it's a metropolis, if you pretend to be a ghost like this, you'll be arrested as a suspect.
"It's not a zombie, and the corpse doesn't change. Don't worry, Mayor, I'll find out what happened. Saito comforted the mayor for a few words, leaned over to search, and soon found two identical silver yuan on the similar corpse of Huang Ergou, Zhu Wen also nodded in confirmation, and said: "The more silver yuan is combined, the clearer the cause and effect line will be, if there are two or three, I may be able to find their original owners." ”
Although Huang Ergou's death was terrifying, Zhu Wen did not have any uncomfortable reaction. It's just that Zhu Wen has already undergone the virtual training system before this, and has reviewed all the horror scenes experienced by the Zhongzhou team, such as aliens, zombies, werewolves, mummies, etc., at least her appearance alone can't scare her.
"Maybe you don't have to be so troublesome...... Saito thought in his heart, but he heard the mayor say in surprise: "This Huang Ergou usually has a little money and will exchange it for wine, and now he still has two silver yuan on his body, which is strange." ”
"In this way, this silver dollar must have been a windfall that these people just got, and it is likely that it was picked up. Saito nodded his head, and then shouted to the others around him and asked, "Have any of you in the past two days gotten a windfall such as silver yuan out of thin air? This windfall is extremely evil, and it will harm people like these three people. ”
One sentence caused the townsfolk to explode, and immediately two people were so frightened that they ran over. It turned out that at dusk yesterday, there was a convoy of motorcades driving by the town avenue, like businessmen traveling from south to north, with a few large boxes of red paint, and I don't know what goods were inside. The four corners of the box are hung with a large brass bell, which jingles endlessly as it moves forward, quite ostentatious.
The convoy did not stay in the town, but only passed through the town, and I don't know if any of them had broken bags, but a dozen silver dollars were left along the way. You must know that at that time, a silver dollar was almost comparable to half a month's income of an ordinary person, and some of them were greedy and kept the lost silver yuan for themselves.
"It's strange, since a few people have picked up silver yuan, why are only three people killed......" After putting away the three silver yuan handed by the two, Saito knew that there must be something strange in them, and immediately asked the two of them about their birthdays, and asked the mayor to check the birthdays of the three killed
Although Gantian Town is backward, but fortunately, the genealogy is very standardized, and there is a detailed registration of each person's birth time.
It turned out that the three people who died, one was destined to take Yuanchen, one was destined to commit Tiansha, and the other was destined to rush to the salty pool.
Three Lives Tongyun: Yuanchen, also known as Da Yuan, Maotou Xing, don't be a name. Before the yang and after the yin, there is a bend, and there is nothing to do if there is nothing to do; before and after the yin and yang, it is straight and successful, and it is difficult to deal with colleagues, so it is called Yuanchen. Destiny brings Yuanchen, and Shengwang is downcast and generous, not distinguishing between right and wrong, not distinguishing between good and good, and reversing the falcon. Death is shabby and inferior, with a hedgehog appearance, turbid language, no humiliation, dilapidation and bumpy, greedy for good feelings, and willing to be obscene.
Those who commit crimes in the sky, their family and wives are not guaranteed, their marriages are difficult, they are lonely and miserable in their later years, their wives and children are punished, and their husbands are widowed and remarried. When young men and women meet, marriage is difficult, relatives and friends are punished, six relatives have no chance, and brothers have little power. In the early years, the lord's family will be rich, the middle lord will sell the land and punish the body, lose his son and wife, and return to his father.
The main color of the salty pond is evil and disdainful, if it is prosperous, it is a beauty instrument, a wine color, a good fortune, a broken family business, but a greedy yin. If you are dead, unscrupulous, cunning in words and deeds, wandering and gambling, ungrateful and untrustworthy, selfish, and incompetent.
"The three deceased are all very rare four-pillar fateful grids, although they are not one out of ten thousand, but also one out of a thousand, I didn't expect to be in the same town. The soul, body, and essence blood of a person with this kind of destiny are of great use to the evil cultivators who practice the evil law, and the convoy is estimated to be a curse for this purpose, and the only person who touches the curse is the person who corresponds to the destiny. This method is subtle and clever, and if it were not for the fact that all three of them happened to be in the same town, it would not be easy to attract attention. ”
As soon as Saito sorted out the ins and outs, he couldn't help but feel a sense of righteous indignation in his heart: this group of people regard living human life as if they were raised cattle and sheep, and they wantonly take and take it, which is really hurtful to nature and against human ethics, so he immediately said to everyone in a loud voice: "The perpetrators will go to arrest and recover the souls of the dementors, and please bury the dead as soon as possible."
"There's Master Lautzi...... Alas, why is Master Lin not ......here for such an evil thing" The mayor was grateful, but he didn't realize that he had missed his mouth, and it seemed that he still had some confidence in Saitoichi.
………………………………
At dusk, Saito and Zhu Wen had already come to a barren mountain and sat and rested in a gazebo. The jungle is reckless and uninhabited. It was late autumn, the surrounding white air was thick, the fog was boundless, and it was milky white 100 meters away, and nothing could be seen.
"Brother Qi, I don't know much about it. Zhu Wen was fiddling with a pair of heaven and earth six lines, and suddenly asked: "The main purpose of our return to the plot world is to cultivate, and the second is to find a side plot, which has little to do with the matter in front of us, why are you so enthusiastic?"
Saito smiled casually: "First of all, I practiced the secret method of the Shangqing Dynasty, not pure meditation, but also paid attention to the practice of entering the WTO and fighting with others. In addition, this incident made me feel quite resentful in my heart, and it was my responsibility, and if I ignored it, I would lose my heart, and I would have to pay attention to it after all. ”
"But the China of this world is being invaded internally and humiliated externally, and there are a lot of grievances, do you have to take care of them one by one?" Zhu Wen was still puzzled.
Saito shook his head: "Although it is an unfair matter, there is also a difference between internal and external matters, and not all the injustices in the world have to be taken care of together." But I have to be taught the Tao by Master Yimei, so it is my duty to keep the peace of the master when he is away. It's okay if I'm not in this world, but if I'm in this world, I have to do what I do. ”
"It sounds like your attitude towards the characters in the plot world is no different from the treatment of real people, and you don't treat them as just npbsp;" What is true and what is false, and who can distinguish between a 'plot world' and a 'real world'?" Saito sighed: "Of course, some reincarnators come out of interests and don't treat the plot characters as * people, like the East American team, for the sake of team battles, slaughtered people in two cities, and even did not hesitate to destroy the miè world. But if the Lord God had set the background of the mission in the real world, would they be merciful because they were targeting 'real people'?
After all, both 'plot characters' and 'real characters' are flesh and blood, at least with our current cultivation, we still can't tell the truth from the fake. In the case that you can't distinguish between truth and falsehood, forcing the truth to determine the truth based on inherent preconceptions is actually committing the 'obstacle of knowledge', and immersing yourself in it is to fall into the devil
Reincarnation is limited to tasks, and sometimes it is inevitable to do something against one's will, but in the end, it can be avoided, and even if it is done, it must be compensated as much as possible, so as not to lose one's heart. But if you regard a qiē as hypocrisy, unscrupulous. Over time, not only are 'plot characters' not considered as people, but 'real characters' are not considered as people, and even 'reincarnation teammates' can be regarded as people. Only for the benefit of a dozen people or even for their own interests, treating other people's lives as a bunch of simple numbers, hundreds of people can be killed, tens of thousands of people can be killed, and gradually, even hundreds of millions, and even people in a world want to kill, take and take...... The most self-egoistic way of the devil is nothing more than that......"
As he was talking, a series of distant copper bells floated from the forest, although they were separated by a lot of distance, and when they came into the ears, they were very crisp and pleasant. Saito nodded: "The person we are waiting for is coming"
After saying that, he made a move, and the pavilion where the two of them were resting suddenly disintegrated, turning into a few pieces of rune paper and putting them in their pockets, and it turned out that the pavilion was actually a Taoist illusion.
The brass bells were getting closer and closer, and at least a dozen bells could be heard ringing together, and the sound was light and dense. Saito listened to it for a while, thinking that he was rushing in broad daylight, and it was in the deep mountains and old forests, who was still so swaggering, and he had nothing to do with the copper bell to shake dryly? Suddenly, his heart moved, and then he listened carefully, and sure enough, this bell was not messy, but implied rhythm, and after careful identification, it was actually three long and seven short in his mind, and suddenly appeared that the night when he went to Chenjia Village, when he encountered Xiangxi to drive the corpse, the copper bell was also three long and seven short, but more than a dozen bells rang together, and he didn't hear it for a while.
"Since it's a corpse, you can arrange it in a targeted manner. Saito immediately cast the spell, and at the same time said, "Let's not show up for now, wait to see the show." ”
…………………………………………
The brass bell was getting closer and closer, and I saw a middle-aged man in a brown robe walking in front, followed by young people, leading mules and horses, pulling a large red lacquered wooden box, about a zhang long and half a zhang wide, which looked extremely heavy. After that box, there were three more boxes, all of which were of average size. On the four corners of the box, you can see a large copper bell hanging on it, and it jingles endlessly.
Suddenly, the brown-robed man who took the lead screamed, and as soon as his body was planted, he was about to fall into a trap. But he was very good, stretched out his long arms, grabbed the edge of the pit, and with a forceful flick, a harrier turned over, turned over, stood still, and a loud shout had already resounded through the mountains and forests: "Who? Get out."
The brass bells rang together, and the brown-robed man stood in place, and shouted again: "Come out" The people carrying the boxes behind them were all at a loss, looking east and west. A young man ran up from behind the fog: "Senior brother, what's wrong?"
The brown-robed man said: "There are traps on the ground. The others were also stunned, looking around, but the fog was thick, and they couldn't see any clues at all, so someone asked, "Didn't the hunters dig it?"
The brown-robed man snorted coldly: "Impossible, hunters hunt beasts, they are all in inaccessible places, how can anyone dig a hole in the middle of the road......?"
Before the words fell, a "Shang" sounded in the forest, and then the sky-high shout of "kill" sounded, which was scattered in all directions in an instant, and a faint figure appeared in the dense fog, it seemed that there were nearly 100 people, all of them showed their swords, the cold air was cold, and they were erected in front of them, and there were even more than a dozen "Hanyang-made" rifles, which surrounded everyone in a huge circle.
The group carrying the boxes was also a little frightened for a while. The brown-robed man didn't expect that there were so many people in ambush around, his eyebrows were furrowed, but he didn't show any panic, and he made a square gesture and raised his voice: "Dare to ask which mountain is the king? Brothers have passed by here, disturbing the tranquility of your village, and it is not worth paying here, please borrow a loan, I am not very grateful." ”
Before he finished speaking, a rough voice came from the other side of the car and said, "People can leave and leave the goods." If you say a few more words, you won't even be able to leave."
The brown robe was furious, but he was also a little worried about the large number of people on the other side, and said coldly: "I advise Guizhai, this batch of goods can neither be eaten nor worn, let alone gold and silver foreign dollars, whoever moves it, who will cause a disaster for no reason, Guizhai had better do it yourself." But I have some silver dollars here, so you can take some of them as tea money, and I won't run this trip in vain. ”
Unexpectedly, the other party was impatient, and only listened to an order: "Do it" Immediately, more than fifty burly and stout bandits shouted together, brandishing their swords and rushing up. The leading bandit drew a shell gun and raised his hand to the brown-robed man's feet to shoot two shots, sending rubble flying across the ground and forcing him to take two steps back.
The bandits were well-armed, with guns and knives, and none of them dared to resist. Suddenly, the thieves took a few boxes and with a wave of their hands, several blades were inserted into the cracks of the box cover, and the lid was loosened with a force. A thief lifted the lid, and the few people in front of him looked in with red eyes, and suddenly their mothers screamed, and they took a few steps back, and their faces turned green.
The big box was not filled with goods, but with four people, or four corpses to be exact. The four corpses were hypertrophied, their faces were swollen, and their facial features were blurred, and they couldn't tell where the nose was or where the mouth was. Moreover, the box contained half a box of dark red liquid like blood, and most of the corpse's body was soaked in it, and a layer of oiled paper was laid at the bottom of the box to prevent the liquid from leaking.
The four boxes, all of which are the same, but the last box only contains a corpse, which seems to have not been soaked for a long time, and it is not so miserable that it can be soaked, and the face can be vaguely distinguished.
A total of thirteen horrific corpses are the true face of this trip.
The brown-robed man sneered a few times: "Since you already know that you can't afford this batch of goods, please go back, but I have some silver yuan, but I can give it to you to suppress your shock" After speaking, he opened a box he carried with him, which was filled with hundreds of silver yuan, and handed it directly to the leading thief.
The leading bandit took the box, and suddenly his eyes rolled: "Now it is a troubled time, and most of those who dare to go deep into the mountains are transported military supplies or treasures, and I have never heard of transporting dead bodies as treasures." There must have been a scam among them who carried the boxes up the hill and found a guy to open the dead bodies, so that there might be something good hidden inside."
"You" The brown-robed people were furious, and when they looked up, they saw that the sun was about to set, and the towering pine forests on both sides blocked the sun, and the surrounding atmosphere was quite cloudy.
So the group retreated together, allowing the bandits to come forward to carry the boxes containing the corpses. After exiting a certain distance, the group suddenly chanted a mantra in a low voice, and for a moment the wind in the jungle was fierce, raising the fog and falling leaves, and the surroundings became doubly eerie and mysterious. The bells in the corners of those boxes were stirred up by the gloomy wind, and they rang frantically in a haphazard manner.
A group of thieves just said that it was an ordinary mountain wind, and they didn't care, and they didn't know that the group behind them suddenly uncovered thirteen bottles, and each bottle had a sparkling ghost fire floating out and throwing it into the box containing the corpse.
I heard a loud "bang" from the four boxes together, followed by a "pop", and the lids were all knocked open. Between the splatters of dirty blood, a putrid smell came to my nose. Before the bandits could react, several huge bloated figures had already jumped out of them with dripping red liquid. The giant arm, which was swollen thicker than ordinary people's thighs, hugged several thieves who were too frightened to dodge, and crumpled them together like kneading dough. A series of strange sounds came out of the bodies of the bandits, as if they had put a lot of dead branches into the wet towel and twisted them vigorously, and the dense cracking sound and the sound of liquid oozing out were mixed together, and it was extremely terrifying.
Some of the thieves were pulled in two by a huge force below the abdomen, and the bones of Bai Shengsheng turned out, and the internal organs were still pulsating but had been pulled out of the body and scattered all over the ground.
"The corpse is cheated"
Screams of fear and wails of pain spread everywhere, intermingling with the strange sound of bones shattering and deforming. A few bold ones drew their broadswords and rushed up with a burst of slashing. After a round of knife skills, those zombies were unharmed, and suddenly a person who grabbed the machete, and tore the huge and incoherent hand like a pie, tearing the person's chest like a pie, pulling out the bloody heart, and swallowing it without chewing.
"Hmph, there is a road in heaven that you can't wait, and there is no door to hell, you can wait but break in" The brown-robed man and his party, who had retreated from the boss for a distance, sneered repeatedly: "Just let the corpse have more blood supplements." ”
The so-called wet corpse refers to the drowned person, after death soaked in water for more than three days, before being salvaged, and then buried into the soil, after a month but not decaying, in the full moon night of the corpse, it is called a wet corpse, much rarer than zombies, but also twice as powerful. There were a total of thirteen dead corpses in these three boxes just now, all of which were rare corpses in the world, and they were soaked in special corpse-raising blood water and injected into the soul manipulation, which was doubly powerful.
When the group of people invokes the spell, they drive the corpses to kill. The corpse is invulnerable, the power is infinite, but the action is not stiff, the ferocity is far greater than the ordinary zombie, the bandits are all unable to resist, and most of them are killed at once, many people are directly taken out of the heart and devoured, the scene is like hell.
Suddenly, thirteen wet corpses that had just devoured the hearts of living people howled miserably, smoke billowing out of their mouths, and there seemed to be fire burning in their stomachs. The brown-robed man was shocked to see a ghostly fire coming out of the heads of the thirteen corpses, and it was actually the living soul that had just been injected to manipulate their actions that had been forced out, and as if they were being pulled by some invisible force, they flew towards somewhere in the dense forest like a bird returning to its nest.
Losing his soul, all thirteen corpses that should have been infinitely powerful fell, and there was no movement. The brown-robed man looked at it intently, and saw that there were no bandit corpses all over the ground, all of them were some broken paper figures, and the hearts of the paper people were all made of red and bright cinnabar painted layer by layer into dozens of spirit runes, and it turned out that those corpses swallowed these spirit runes, which was no different from suicide
"Who is the master?" the brown-robed man asked in a panic, only to feel that his heart was as cold as an ice cellar: he could manipulate hundreds of paper figures as if they were real people, so that he could not detect the slightest abnormality, and this cultivation was undoubtedly far above him.
