Chapter 38: Zombies and Zombies
The old master handed me the pouch and muttered, "Take it, boy! Well, although it's not a baby, it can save your life at a critical moment!"
The life-saving thing was like it to him, like ...... Send out an old cucumber.
I took it with both hands and weighed it, well, it's light, not like a cucumber!
After I put it away, the old man let me sit down, stuffed tobacco into the smoke pot, and said slowly:
"I received a summons from Elder Li of Qingmen last night, well, the evil ways of speech gathered in the Flying Sword Pond, so I invited the old thing and Lao Huang to come over, I don't want Lao He to come one step earlier, he has already told us about it.
Well, I called you, first, I want to ask for some details, and second, I have something for you to deal with!"
I had expected that the old sect master would ask questions, after all, there were not only evil ways last night, but also people from the demon sect who were present.
But I didn't expect the old master to arrange things for me, you must know that the last three ways to deal with supernatural and demonic events have a set of fixed patterns, and it is rare for the master to directly assign tasks.
I nodded.
The old master took a puff of cigarette on the fire and asked, "The matter of the cadre and Mo Xie, Lao He has already told me through Senior Nephew Jiang." Well, do you know why the Demon Gate snatched these two divine weapons?"
I replied, "Yes, they obey the orders of the Demon Realm Lord of the Ghost Realm, and they rob the gods to cut through the Kunlun barrier!"
The three old men were startled and stood up directly from their chairs.
I didn't tell Elder He about this, because there were so many people last night, and leaking it out would inevitably cause speculation and panic among the mortal realms.
Elder He was also startled when he heard this, lowered his head and thought for a while and sighed, "Fortunately, Senior Nephew Chen didn't speak directly to me last night, otherwise it would have been terrible if the news had leaked!"
Huang Lao said nervously: "The Demon Realm, the Demon Realm belongs to the Ghost Realm, and it is impossible to communicate with the human world, not even a few words can be passed on, little brother, don't you talk about it!"
Maybe when Elder He reported to the sect master, he also told me about my performance last night, otherwise Elder Huang wouldn't think I was lying again......
I smiled and said, "Old Huang, the kid only talks nonsense to the untrustworthy, and he has no lie to the master and the two old immortals!"
Master Shi Cheng interjected: "The Three Realms have been clearly defined since ancient times, and no matter what kind of Dao method a person cultivates, whether it is demonic or evil or good, he cannot directly ascend to the upper realm.
In ancient times, cultivating demons to the extreme could be led by the demon world, cultivating evil can be led by the ghost world, and the orthodoxy of my Dao Sect was led by the fairy world to soar, and then the aura of heaven and earth was leaked, and no one could re-enter the fairy world, is it ...... Could it be that the Demon Gate has a secret method that can feed back news from the Demon Realm?"
The old man smoked with his head down, and when he heard this, he said, "Hmm...... The key point is not in the secret method or communication, but in Kunlun! It is rumored that Kunlun has opened up the other world since 2,000 years ago, and it seems that this matter is indeed undoubted!"
When the four of them heard Kunlun, they each sighed in a low voice!
This is understandable, you think, in order to become an immortal for yourself, your predecessors went to another place to cultivate alone, and no longer took you to pretend to fly with you, can you feel comfortable......
Without waiting for them to continue questioning, I threw out another bomb: "According to the news of the Demon Realm, when Kunlun escaped from the world, he had already drained most of the spiritual energy in the world, and it had become the foundation of cultivation in the New Realm!"
The four of them opened their mouths wide when they heard this, and stood on the spot blankly!
It's like that senior, not only didn't take you to play, but also took away the things you played, and the bottom of the kettle was drawn, which was ruthless enough!
......
The four of them came back to their senses, and after looking at each other, they all bowed their heads and said nothing, smiling bitterly.
Master Shi Cheng looked out the window and said softly: "In order to die in ancient times, my heart was as silent as water when I died; β
Huang Lao's face was painful, and he looked at the ground under his feet blankly.
The old master was relatively relaxed, and sighed: "Old man, I also had this guess earlier, well, this is also human nature...... Well, it's human nature!"
The old master just snorted his cigarette fiercely, and the smoke rings he spit out were bigger than the other.
I waited for them to digest it and then said, "Uh...... I also found out a piece of news, I don't know if I should say it?"
The third elder was about to sit down, and when he heard me say this, he stood up again after a hesitation, and the old man said with a bitter face: "After listening to your kid's words, well, I regret it a little, old man...... You...... You say, well, speak slowly, don't frighten us old bones!"
I held back a smile in my heart, but I didn't dare to show it, and when I heard the master agree, I said in a very soft voice:
"I heard, I heard that the barrier between humans and ghosts has been destroyed......"
When Master Shi Cheng heard this, he kept rubbing his beard, and he didn't even notice that he had lost a few of them......
The old man had already put down his cigarette pouch and looked at me blankly, like a ghost.
Huang Lao can hold on, but he keeps pulling the corners of his Tang clothes, I really want to remind him not to pull it, if he pulls it again, it will be broken, and he doesn't dare to ......
I sighed in my heart, that's enough news, forget about the stubborn, generals, and heavenly evils, I'm afraid that I will scare them out again, and their disciples and grandchildren will not be able to find me desperately?
But after a while, I got some understanding.
Since the aura of heaven and earth has been thin, many inheritance secret methods and advanced Taoist techniques can not be practiced, and many people think that the ancestors are bragging, so they change careers, and only a few Taoist sects are still sticking to their beliefs in their hearts, waiting for the Taoist sect to flourish.
Originally, the strength of the Dao Sect was not good, but now that the barrier between the two worlds of humans and ghosts has collapsed, the evil ghosts of the Ghost Realm will inevitably sneak into the human world and harm people's lives, snatch the cultivation of the Yin Soul, and the world is in danger!
Several people didn't speak for a while, and the old master didn't ask questions anymore, just silently looked at the cigarette pouch in his hand, bowed his head and said nothing.
Seeing this, Elder He brought a few cups of tea from the table next to him and put them in the hands of the three of them, and the three of them took their minds back.
I comforted: "The three seniors should not be like this, it is an eventful time, we should prepare in many ways to ensure that the innocent creatures in the world are not poisoned." β
Master Shi Cheng listened and said: "Master Chen's nephew said it well! It is useless to think about it again, it is better to think about how to deal with the enemy and do our best to protect the world!"
Huang Lao nodded, and the two looked at the old master together, waiting for him.
The old master picked up the cigarette pouch, slapped it heavily on the wooden table, stood up and said resolutely: "The soldiers will block, the water will flood, and there will be no endless road to the sky! No matter how strong his ghost world is, no matter how many evil ghosts there are, well, I will never hide from the world to avoid disasters when I go to the third path!"
The old master straightened up, and he could vaguely see a trace of his youthful demeanor.
Thinking about it, the old master smiled at me, I was inexplicable, I didn't avoid it, why did you keep smiling at me?
The old master touched the cigarette pouch again, and said to Elder He slyly:
"Why don't you wait to summon the three sects and the sects!
From now on, Chen Yida will be an elder, not the inheritance of Taoism, not the collection of medicine and alchemy, and the full-time tour of the world's Daomen, for me Dingmen to kill evil and eliminate demons, the old man I personally give the title - 'Little Immortal', well, that's it!"
Elder He replied "yes" and hurriedly left the side hall, thinking that it was the dispatch of the list.
The old man opened the lid of the tea, blew the foam and drank the tea, and then looked at me with a wicked smile and said:
"Chen Yida, in the battle of Flying Sword Pond last night, you killed dozens of people from the Evil Dao Sect, and your mind was mature and decisive. Well, I hope you don't shirk your position as an elder, and take up the heavy responsibility of cutting off the evil demons when this calamity comes! Well, I look after you, old man!"
I was stunned, then my eyes lit up, and I said excitedly:
"Thank you, master! Boy, I'll do it, hahahaha......! Didn't the great leader say it? We young people are the newborn sun, and we are the successors! To be honest, boy, I don't think the burden is heavy on my shoulders, and I can bear it if I give me a doorman, what do you say......, old master?
The old man held the tea bowl with a sluggish expression.
This old man is plain on the outside, but he is extremely cunning in his bones, thinking of promoting me to be an elder, and then leisurely staying at the mountain gate to command me, fame and fortune!
But who am I?
I've been messing around in the streets and alleys since I was a child, and I've seen a lot of people of all colors.
......
"Hahahaha......" Master Shi Cheng and Huang Lao looked at the old master and laughed, "Okay! I think Master Chen's nephew is good, it's more than enough to be a door master, old smoker, you're gone......, right?"
"Not bad, yes! How many years have you been the old smoker, you should let the young people go! Go home to fish, and accompany your wife, how much it tastes!"
The old man had a dark face, he seemed to be angry, he took the cigarette pouch and made a gesture to hit me, but he didn't know that he was together, his abdomen sank to the bottom, and he made a fart "poof... Poof......" collapsed, causing the second elder to laugh again.
After laughing, the old master said to me: "Then this matter is settled, well, giving you the position of elder is also for the convenience of doing things in the future, you don't have to ask for instructions or anything all the time, trouble! You remember, well, old man, I have only one request, to clear away the evil, the most important thing in the world!"
He pointed at Huang Lao again and said, "Another thing, let Huang Lao tell you." β
Huang Lao straightened his body and said, "Last night, I have been discussing with your master for a long time, and now it seems that you have a better chance of winning this matter!"
"Don't hide it from my little brother, when I saw you just now, the three of us calculated your fate with the innate god number, but unfortunately your exercises are unique and cannot be deduced......
"But all three of me came to a clear conclusion in the end: With you, there are only advantages and no disadvantages in this world! That's why your master insists on elevating your status. β
When I entered the door just now, I found that the three of them were quietly calculating something, but I didn't pay attention to it, the tiger said that he was the first wisp of primordial evil qi in this world, except for some innate things that could detect his existence and affect his strength, the rest of the Dao, evil, demon, and demon spells were all ineffective against it!
The innate thing itself has an indeducible destiny, and the tiger is connected with my heart and spirit, and the blood is interconnected, so even if the three of his fingers are cut off, it is impossible to understand one or two of my destiny.
As for the final result of Huang Lao's statement, I guess they are doing something else, such as estimating the fate of the people around me, or the fortune of the key people in the incident, so as to corroborate the outcome of the event in many ways, so as to find out whether my position and influence at this moment are good or bad.
Huang Lao took a sip of tea and continued:
"Little brother, the things that need to be dealt with this time are located far away, in Xinjiang Province, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you, if it's inconvenient, I can arrange someone else, how about it?"
Huang Lao said it tactfully, but I believe that asking us about inconvenience is probably just a clichΓ©, take the things of these three old guys, and you answer that it is inconvenient to try!
I said cheerfully, "It's not inconvenient, even if there is, the kid has to make it convenient, hehehe!" β
Huang Lao smiled, and then said......
Shangsandao does not have a base or contact point in Xinjiang Province, so this incident was reported by the local government.
The state public security department has organized a special case group to investigate the past twice, but the first time it was fruitless, and the second time it was a special case team, except for the command team and the information team, all the people who were investigated on the spot were killed, and the incident was strange and there were no clues.
Therefore, the Ministry of Public Security, together with the anti-terrorism forces, national security and special services, held a coordination meeting and decided to carry out the third investigation and disposal.
Huang Lao spoke clearly and logically, first clarifying the position of the state's upper-level organs and the background of the incident, and then stating the details of the incident in detail, so that he really could not see that he was an old man of nearly 70.
Huang Lao continued......
There is no place of origin, and there is no fixed place where the incident occurred.
First of all, the crime occurred in Shihe City, and when the local corps was patrolling, three bodies were found in the west of the suburbs of Shihe City.
The Corps patrol team called the police as usual, and after investigation, the public security organs determined that the case was a homicide case, and the suspects were brutal and showed signs of dismemberment.
After further investigation and collection of clues, the local public security organs found none of them, and when they were hesitating, another case occurred in Karamay, which was extremely similar to the murder methods of this case, so the public security organs of the two places concentrated their resources, studied and judged the case, and finally merged the case.
Unexpectedly, the matter is not over, but has just begun.
Within a month, more than 50 similar cases occurred in all the larger cities in northern Xinjiang, and the victims were of varying age, gender, and economic and financial conditions...... In short, there is no common denominator.
Up to now, the number of victims has reached nearly 100, and local urban residents have panicked and spread rumors about terrorist organizations, separatist groups, cults, and perverted murderers, which have had a tremendous impact on the stability of the entire situation in Xinjiang Province and have also disrupted the people's daily lives.
After two investigations, the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China has obtained no important clues, but after screening and ruling out criminal purposes, it has basically ruled out suspects and forces such as terrorist organizations, foreign separatist groups, religions, and murderers.
The local government also worked with the media to clarify the rumors and reassure the people, but with little success, after all, the suspects have not been arrested.
......
This time, as an elder of Dingmen, you have been temporarily hired by our special service department as the information and emergency liaison consultant of the task force.
Of course, the Secret Service will provide you with all the necessary help and cooperation, but only in the local operation, this ...... Also, you need to go to the destination on your own, and the country's resources can't be used for the time being......
When Huang Lao said this, he picked up the tea bowl and drank tea.
I asked, "Finished?"
Huang Lao nodded.
I pouted, not because of my attitude towards Huang Lao, but because there was too little information about this matter, I only knew which cities and how many people died, and whether the deceased had anything in common during their lifetimes, and there was not even the slightest clue involved......
I asked again: "How is the death of the victim, Huang Lao, you haven't said it yet!"
Huang Lao nodded appreciatively and said, "All the deceased died of excessive blood loss, and their limbs were incomplete, and there were signs of dismemberment. β
Excessive blood loss?
From the perspective of the Daomen, there are only two types of perpetrators, one is the cult and the demon way, both of which have the motive and purpose of refining, summoning, devouring, and using blood, but the scope of their activities is mainly in the southwest, south China, and central China, and rarely appears in border cities on a large scale.
The second is the demon and the zombie, due to the lack of aura today, there are very few demons into essence and forming, at most they can only swallow the essence of the sun and the moon or the essence and blood of the living soul, but it is only enough to prolong the lifespan, and it is difficult to refine the inner pill and turn into a demon;
As for stiffness, it is bounded by hairy stiffness: only those who raise hair can be called stiff, and those who do not raise hair and have strange things are collectively referred to as zombies. The hair-raising ones are divided into green stiffness, black stiffness, white stiffness, flying stiffness, etc.
Zombie this creature, Daomen also has a detailed record, saying that its origin is mysterious, some say that it comes from the blood of the Qian, some say that it comes from the blood of the generals, and some say that it comes from the ancient demon clan.
The Daomen texts do not make a specific division of them, but only exhaust all the possibilities.
I quite agree with this, don't write scribble if you don't understand, write down all the possibilities, and leave it to the more powerful people in the future to explore!
But at the end of the classics, it said: The stiff person is not afraid of the five elements, the Three Realms are not accepted, the Tao is difficult to break, the sky is difficult to destroy, and only the Dao Dharma can be suppressed.
This is to say, zombie this creature, the body is extremely special, not afraid of the five elements harm, the three worlds of people, gods and ghosts do not like it, no matter how strong it is, it will not be led to its ascension, only the magic weapon of the immortal of the Dao Gate can suppress it, not eliminate it!
As for the Hong Kong dramas and ghost films that were popular in the 90s, the materials and adaptations are all based on zombies, which are different from zombies.
Zombie generally refers to the corpse of a person after death, after being nourished by shade or other means, so that it obeys people's orders, or walks, or bites, which is a threat to ordinary people, but it is ineffective against the Daomen, charms, five elements of Taoism, heavenly thunder and even physical damage.
Zombies also have the function of sucking human sperm and blood because they obey people's orders, and zombies, because there are few records, it is not known whether they can suck human sperm blood.
After a short period of thought, I have attributed the mastermind behind this incident to the demons and zombies, and the possibility of the demons and demons is greater than that of zombies.
After thinking about it, I said to Huang Lao: "Okay, I accept it, go for a walk!" But it's not these days, I have to wait for Xiaozhi to heal, and I have to deal with some personal things before going!"
Boss Huang was overjoyed, and immediately came with a pen and paper, wrote down the contact person and phone number of Xinjiang Province, and then said: "Little brother, although busy, if you arrive in Xinjiang Province, even if you contact the person on paper, he will do his best to help you!"
I nodded yes, and was about to ask if I could go, but suddenly I smelled a bean drum......
I turned my head to look, and saw that the old man was bored, he was taking off his cloth shoes, resting his stinky feet on the chair and picking at them, and there were many powdery things on the ground, and he was still rubbing them vigorously with great interest, and occasionally put his fingers to his nose and sniffed, looking intoxicated......
I almost threw up on the spot, I couldn't imagine that there was someone in this world who was more powerful than me! I sometimes didn't take a shower and wash my hair for half a month, and I was a little embarrassed when I went out to meet people......
Compared with this old man, I have some thoughts about it, what is half a month, and I will wash it once a month in the future......
