Chapter 289: Some Means
Chen Tian looked at it very curiously, and waited for the old Taoist priest to remove his hand before asking, "Is there something wrong?"
The old Taoist priest frowned and said, "It's strange that these people have no soul left, and even their blood and qi have dissipated!"
"There is no soul, could it be because the underworld has recovered and they have all gone to reincarnation?" asked Chen Tian.
"There is no bad breath here, although the underworld is recovering, it is by no means a short-term thing, a few years or even decades, whether reincarnation can be opened or not is still a thing. The old Taoist priest pondered for a while and said, "The only explanation is that their souls and blood have been sucked into this bead. ”
Chen Tian also remembered that the two cult people he met at the beginning seemed to be sucking the blood of a homeless man.
Chen Tian told the old Taoist priest about the situation at that time.
"What do they do by absorbing flesh and blood? Blood is the essence of human beings, and it is granted to heaven, and it is difficult for others to take advantage of it. It is difficult to use it in cultivation to suck away other people's blood and qi, could it be ......" the old Taoist priest said with some doubts.
"What is it?" asked Chen Tian curiously.
"Could it be that it is used to feed ghosts!" the old Taoist priest said uncertainly.
"This doesn't seem very strange, they are all over the place, and even cultivators have been arrested, maybe just to raise a large number of ghosts. Chen Tian said.
The old Taoist priest did not respond, and walked towards the corpse of the last sentence, which was struck by Chen Tian's guidance of Wan Fa.
Looking at it now, the corpse was like a mummy, all the flesh and blood were gone, and only bones and skin remained.
The old Taoist priest picked up the bead from his body and put it in his hand to examine it.
Seeing the old Taoist's expression a little strange, Chen Tian knew that there must be other discoveries. He asked, "Is there anything new?"
The old Taoist priest pondered for a while and said: "It is indeed a very peculiar Dao method to guide ten thousand laws, but it is not to disperse people's blood, but more like dispersal, this person was hit by your Dao method, and the mutation is obvious!"
The old Taoist priest put all the gray-black beads in his sleeve, and then continued: "This corpse that was hit by the guidance of ten thousand laws, the blood and soul breath in the beads are much less than the other ones, these people are probably hiding their blood and soul in the beads, I don't know how they connected this bead with the body, supporting them to continue to live." ”
Chen Tian was immediately stunned, what kind of statement is this? Then he said what he understood: "You mean to say that these people are already similar to zombies?
"That's understandable!" the old Taoist priest nodded.
"Isn't this abnormal?" Chen Tian was still puzzled.
"Naturally, it's not normal! The human body has no flesh and blood, just like this corpse, it will soon decay, there is no soul, and even the consciousness has dissipated, how can it act? Even if the ghoul refining the corpse in one vein, they will retain part of the soul, not all of it, these people have some means!" said the old Taoist priest.
There are not many people who have been evaluated by the old Taoist priest for some methods, which is considered a high evaluation, and Chen Tian was a little surprised when he heard it.
The two did not stay in this place for too long, and the old Taoist priest said that if you want to thoroughly understand the origin of these beads, you still need to check some information, and it will take time.
And what the old Taoist priest has to do now is to find the location of the next jade beast.
However, looking at the performance of the old Taoist priest, it seems that he has developed an extremely strong interest in this gray-black bead.
This is a good thing or a bad thing.
said that it was a good thing, but because the old Taoist priest joined, Meng still would not continue to pester Chen Tian. If it is said to be a bad thing, the old Taoist priest may make a move against the cult, and then he will encounter more dangers.
You must know that this cult is now being searched for by many forces, but so far, not a single one has been caught, and we do not know its origin and methods.
Apparently this is a very well-organized force, and the minds must be so thoughtful that it is impossible to guess what they are trying to do.
Chen Tian actually didn't believe that a cult that was operating on a large scale for a short period of time was just to collect blood qi and feed it to ghosts.
If it was really just collecting blood and qi to feed the ghosts, then there was no need to attack the cultivators at all, and it was obviously not necessary to provoke the cultivators.
The old Taoist priest took Chen Tian back to the laboratory, and the machine continued to search for the location of the jade beast, but it had not yet found the information of the next jade beast, obviously it would take time and luck.
When the two of them returned to the laboratory, they didn't attract much attention, except for Gu Tian, most of them were running around, looking very busy.
Gu Tian asked with some expectation, "Did you find it?"
"Well, your method does work, but that jade beast is not what I wanted!" the old Taoist priest replied.
"Can you ......?" Gu Tian asked with some hesitation in anticipation.
Chen Tian could see at a glance that Gu Tian wanted to see the jade beast.
The old Taoist priest didn't take it out directly, but asked, "Still?"
She thought it was too boring here, and after waiting for a while, you didn't come back, so she and Ling'er went back first. Gu Tian said.
The old Taoist priest nodded, and without saying much, he directly took out a gray-black bead from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Tian.
"What is this?" Gu Tian wondered.
"I don't know, but you might get something. The old Taoist priest said.
Gu Tian nodded and handed the bead to a young man. Then he continued to look at the old Taoist priest, the expectant look in his eyes was obvious, and there was no concealment.
This time, the old Taoist priest was refreshed, his sleeves shook, and a jade beast wrapped in diamonds fell to the ground.
This thing is very hard, even the old Taoist priest can't cut it with Taoism.
But it's very strange, such a hard thing seems to be very light, and it doesn't make much noise when it falls to the ground.
"What is this?" Gu Tian took off his eyes, wiped them vigorously clean, and then quickly put them on.
The man had already squatted down, touching the strange jade beast with one hand.
"This is the jade beast, the original jade layer, which was shattered by me. The old Taoist priest said lightly.
The old Taoist priest took Chen Tian into the laboratory with a shrunken inch, which did not cause a big movement, but the appearance of this strange jade beast made most of the people in the laboratory surround him.
They were all amazed and curious, and a few old men immediately dispersed the crowd and said, "What are you doing here, hurry back to work." ”
Most of these people are middle-aged people in their forties and fifties. Compared to Gu Tian, a hundred-year-old man, they looked a little younger.
After those people were driven back to work, Gu Tian and a few other old men squatted in front of the jade beast, carefully studying.
