Chapter 2: The Old Man Who Keeps the Corpse
"Do you still know my ancestor?" Chen Tian felt that he had asked the wrong question as soon as he said it.
This old Taoist priest can even calculate Chen Tian's big fart, and it is not unusual to know Chen Tian's ancestor.
"I don't know, but I've heard of it. You're just an ordinary person, and you've brought it here this time, in order to settle a relationship with your ancestors!" The old Taoist priest replied, and then continued: "In order to prevent you from causing trouble again, if you want to ask, you can ask!"
Chen Tian grabbed the glutinous rice in his hand, looked at the foul-smelling vomit in the distance, and asked puzzledly, "What are we doing here?"
"Don't ask me repetitive questions!" said the old Taoist.
Chen Tian felt that his forehead should be full of black lines!
In addition to this question, Chen Tian didn't know what to ask for a while!
The old Taoist priest didn't seem to be in a hurry, and was pestle next to him like a pillar.
Chen Tian held back for a long time, and finally thought of a question again: "What was in the dark room just now?"
"Corpse raiser and bronze armored corpse!" the old Taoist priest said simply.
"Is the bronze armored corpse the same as it is written in the novel?"
"That's understandable!" replied the old Taoist priest.
Chen Tian had an urge to scold, this old Taoist priest was definitely not a good interview subject.
This guy's answer is too short, and it doesn't mean clearly, so it's always up to you to judge.
Chen Tian didn't know how to take it on!
The scene cooled down again, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.
However, at this moment, an old man walked out of the black room.
The old man was dressed in linen and barefoot.
From the outside, he looks like a farmer who has just returned from the field, and he looks seventy or eighty years old.
However, the muscles of the body are particularly conspicuous, don't look at the seventy or eighty years old, it is estimated that it will not take seven or eight seconds to knock Chen Tian down.
"Okay?" said the old Taoist priest, looking at the old man.
"Well, that's okay!" the old man nodded, then looked at Chen Tian and asked, "Is that him?"
"Hmm!" the old Taoist priest's reply was even briefer.
"It looks like an ordinary person!" the old man frowned.
"That's right, it's really an ordinary person, this vein has declined!" replied the old Taoist priest, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
"What the hell are you talking about?" asked Chen Tian.
"Hahaha, it's nothing, the young man is very brave!
"I didn't tell him!" the old Taoist priest replied for Chen Tian.
"You're not afraid of killing him, you still have to teach the rules that should be taught, at least don't cause trouble. The old man said.
"There's no need for that, I'll send him back as soon as this matter is over. The old Taoist priest said.
The old man frowned again, trying to say something, but finally stopped.
The two old men were like playing dumb riddles in front of Chen Tian, which made Chen Tian extremely curious.
"When are you going to do it?" the old man asked the old Taoist priest.
"How long do you need it?" asked the old Taoist priest.
"Three days, and then three days will be the yin time, and it should be able to be refined by then. The old man said.
"Then three days later!" said the old Taoist priest.
Just as the two were talking, Chen Tian felt that his hands were slowly getting hotter, getting hotter and hotter.
Chen Tian remembered what the old Taoist priest had said, and hurriedly put the glutinous rice in his hand still on the ground.
Chen Tian looked down and took a big jump.
The glutinous rice, which was originally white, was already jet black at this time.
The old Taoist priest looked at the rice pile, and his expression seemed to relax.
"We'll stay here for four days, and after four days, I'll send you back!" said the old Taoist priest.
"And what about me?"
"I'll pay you back!" was still a simple answer.
With the words of the old Taoist priest, Chen Tian was relieved a lot.
"Young man, do you want to see the bronze armored corpse?" At this time, the old man asked towards Chen Tian.
The bronze armor corpse is seen in many novels and movies, and it is said to be made from corpses.
The bronze armor corpse should not be the most powerful, the iron armor corpse, the copper armor corpse, and the silver armor corpse and the gold armor corpse should be above.
The most powerful thing is the Yaksha and the like, that thing, it can go up to the sky and the earth, and it can do anything.
Even if the bronze armored corpse is not the most powerful, there is still no problem with invulnerability.
Of course, a novel is a novel after all, and many things are not to be believed, and besides, that thing is made of corpses, and it is definitely not afraid of knives and guns.
Have you ever seen a corpse cry out in pain? A corpse can't cry out! If you can shout, it's not dead.
The real bronze armored corpse should not be seen by many people, and Chen Tian's curiosity was instantly aroused.
Chen Tian originally came for these strange and mysterious things, and the old man invited him like this, so there was no reason not to agree.
"No, he has just been killed, and now he is very weak!" The old Taoist priest helped Chen Tian on the side and refused.
The old man glanced at Chen Tian, raised his eyebrows, and did not continue.
The old man didn't speak, and Chen Tian couldn't continue.
Chen Tian couldn't do anything about it cheekily.
Chen Tian scolded in his heart: This damn old Taoist priest deceived me from afar, but he vomited like a fool, and he was not allowed to see the bronze armored corpse, which is too tricky!
Not long after the old man came out of the dark room, the doors of each house also opened, and people came out of it.
They don't seem to be surprised, and they still do their own thing.
Chen Tian took a serious look, almost all of these people were adults, and they didn't see children.
At this time, an old lady shouted faintly: "It's time to eat!"
"Let's go, let's go eat first, and we'll talk about something else later. The old man said.
The old Taoist priest nodded, glanced at Chen Tian and left.
Chen Tian was still cursing in his heart, but he followed closely behind the old Taoist.
Everyone in the small mountain village walked towards the old lady.
The people of this small mountain village ate in the same place, in an open place, on a huge rock, the top of which was flat like a table.
The stone weighed at least a few tons, and it is not known how they got it.
The food here is okay, everyone has a big bowl of rice, covered with full of vegetables, there are meat and vegetarian, the meat in the mountains is very chewy, not like chicken and duck, not pork, Chen Tian can't eat what kind of meat, just think it's delicious.
Chen Tian looked up and looked around while eating, it was very quiet, the people in the small mountain village were silent when eating, eating by themselves, and Chen Tian was embarrassed to say.
The meal was quickly finished, and the old Taoist priest took Chen Tian to a room, which was where they were temporarily staying.
The room was very simple, and all the furniture could be seen at a glance, and there was a bed with a clean bedding on it. There is also a wooden table in the middle of the room, and a copper oil lamp is placed, which is very simple, and it looks like it is some years old.
After the old Taoist priest entered the door, he took out a gossip mirror from his arms and hung it above the head of the bed, took out a handful of copper coins, and threw them on the ground, which seemed random, but formed a very regular pattern.
After doing this, the old Taoist priest said to Chen Tian: "Don't look in the mirror at night, and don't mess with the copper coins on the ground." ”
"What are these things for?" asked Chen Tian curiously.
"Suppress the corpse!" The old Taoist priest was probably worried that Chen Tian would cause trouble again, so he didn't sell it.
"Is it a zombie?
The old Taoist priest nodded, and answered Chen Tian's question.
People's curiosity was aroused, and it was impossible to stop at all, Chen Tian continued to ask: "What is the bronze armor corpse like? Is it really wearing bronze armor? Or is it described as as hard as bronze?"
Old Taoist: "Description!"
"What is my jade wrench used for?" Chen Tian asked.
This question seemed to have attracted the attention of the old Taoist priest, who looked at Chen Tian with an extremely strange expression, as if he was very puzzled.
"Didn't your ancestors have anything left?" the old Taoist priest asked rhetorically.
Chen Tian: "You are right, this is not leaving me a jade wrench, this is the most valuable treasure in my family!"
Old Taoist: "I mean, your ancestors didn't tell you what the jade wrench is, or leave some books or something?"
"No, no, it seems to be, I remember that my grandfather had an ancient book, called Tongyou, and then my grandfather died, so it was burned along with the relics!" Chen Tiandao.
The old Taoist priest's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Chen Tian in great surprise.
Chen Tian was a little apprehensive, as if he had done something wrong!
After a long time, the old Taoist priest sighed and said, "Alas...... It's burning, it's burning! It's already in decline anyway!"
"I've heard you say many times that our vein has declined, isn't it possible that my ancestors are the same as you?" Chen Tiandao.
The old Taoist priest squinted, as if he had fallen into a memory, and said: "Your ancestors are capable people, who are thorough in the heavens and the earth, and have vast magical powers...... Forget it, it's useless to tell you this!"
The old Taoist priest didn't finish speaking, and Chen Tian couldn't guess what the second half of the old Taoist priest didn't say!
Chen Tian found a stool and sat down, looked at the orderly copper coins on the ground, and remembered another question: "You said before that after three days, what are you going to do in three days?"
Without waiting for the old Taoist priest to look at him with idiotic eyes, Chen Tian suddenly woke up: "Ao, I understand, it's to destroy the corpse, but I don't know what this means? What kind of corpse are you going to destroy? Is that bronze armored corpse? But I see that you can all subdue it, why do you need my jade wrench?"
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said, "It's not a bronze armored corpse, it's a living corpse!"
The old Taoist priest knew that Chen Tian did not understand, and continued to explain: "The living corpse is a kind of corpse, and the living corpse is divided into five types: the red-haired corpse, the green-haired corpse, the natural corpse, and the earth-raised corpse. ”
"Isn't there another one? You said one less!" Chen Tian reminded.
"The fifth ......" The old Taoist priest looked stunned, as if he was sorting out his thoughts or remembering something, and then continued for a long time: "The last type is the human soul, which is almost no different from ordinary people, extremely difficult to distinguish, and the most difficult to deal with. It has the breath of a living person, but it has the power of a living corpse!"
