Chapter 25: The Puppet
A fire was burning beside the stream in the forest. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Wukong was seriously roasting a leg of mutton, the man who claimed to be Ye Gucheng, was leaning comfortably on a big rock, holding a straw pole and shaving his teeth, and a small pile of leftover lamb bones were placed beside him.
This Ye Gucheng, who looks like he is in his twenties, is very tall, and not very strong. looks handsome, probably because he is away all year round, and his complexion is slightly darker. The face is very clean, without the beard common to the local mountain people, and it seems to be regularly trimmed. The clothes on his body are a little old, and there are a few holes. However, there are no oil stains or mud stains, and it is quite neat. It doesn't look like a ranger who has been away for a long time, but more like a broken son.
Wukong looked at the handsome Ye Gucheng and thought of the old man again. The old man is lazy and collapsed on weekdays, but once he is brightly dressed and proud. Someone must be out of luck. I can't help but be wary of this Ye Gucheng. Sure enough, as soon as the leg of mutton was roasted, the handsome boy was exposed in his original form, snatched the leg of mutton and ate it. Where is there still the shadow of a son and a ranger, it is clearly a hungry wolf. After only a while, the leg of lamb was gone, and Wukong didn't even eat a bite. Fortunately, there was still a lot of mutton, and Wukong had to take another leg of mutton, which tasted good and roasted.
Ye Gucheng shaved his teeth and said to Wukong very comfortably: "Who is that, your level of barbecue is really amazing!" If you go back and practice again, you will definitely become a good cook in the future. ”
Wuqi said angrily: "I don't call that person, my name is Sun Wukong." I don't want to be a chef either, I want to be a peerless master in the future. ”
"Your reaction speed is too slow, and you are not very qualified to learn kung fu. There is not much future, let's be a chef, you are more talented as a chef. ”
"What's slow to respond and not well qualified? That's because I'm not as thick-skinned as you, and I'm embarrassed to rob it. ”
"Hahahaha" Ye Gucheng was not angry, but laughed and said: "When the enemy and me are in a duel, where do you talk about what is thick-skinned, life and death are on the line, and the victory or defeat depends on the speed of this shot." ”
"Hmph" Wukong snorted dissatisfiedly, ignoring him and concentrating on the barbecue.
As soon as Ye Gucheng saw that Wukong stopped talking, he sat up straight and said to Wukong: "Little brother, tell me, why are you looking for monsters?" ”
Wukong turned around and said, "You tell me what the 'puppet' is first, and then I'll tell you." ”
Seeing that Wukong was uncompromising, Ye Gucheng had to say, "Okay, I'll tell you first." You've heard of zombies, right? ”
"Of course I've heard of it, isn't it just that after some people die, for some reason, the corpse does not decompose, and they can slowly move, crawl out of the coffin, catch living people everywhere, and drink human blood?"
"Pretty much. There are some people who will have some special methods that are able to control zombies, make zombies their tools, or weapons to fight people. Such people are called 'corpse keepers', and zombies controlled by corpse keepers are called 'corpse refiners'. ”
Wukong was surprised and said, "Can you still control zombies?" I've heard that zombies are invulnerable and can't be killed. If you can control a few more, wouldn't it be invincible? ”
"That's not it, you can't control zombies too much, generally four or five is the limit. Besides, zombies are not unkillable, ordinary zombies are slow and slow to react. They can't see, and they can only distinguish friend from foe by sound and smell. It's just that the body is stronger, and Nai fights. Zombies themselves are afraid of fire and sun. If you have a lot of strength, you can take a hammer and smash its head and you'll be done. Unless it's those advanced zombies that are a little bit harder to deal with. The more advanced the zombie, the stronger the body and the faster it moves. It is said that the highest-level zombie is called 'Drought Fish' and can fly to the sky. Of course, these are legends, and the conditions for forming zombies are very difficult, and ordinary zombies are also rare, let alone those high-level zombies. And the ordinary combat power is not high, and high-level zombies are unattainable, and the more advanced the zombies, the more difficult it is to subdue.
Therefore, there are some crazy 'corpse keepers' who have come up with a way to refine corpses with living people. They use tantric methods to disperse the spiritual consciousness of the chosen people, and then cultivate them by raising corpses. Turned the living into half-human, half-corpse monsters. This is the 'puppet'. ”
"Is this 'human puppet' worse than a zombie?" Wukong asked curiously.
"'Human puppets' are much more difficult to deal with than ordinary 'refining corpses', and 'human puppets' are refined from living people, so they are much more flexible than refining corpses. And the five senses are all afraid, these corpse keepers, I don't know how to get it, this 'human puppet' is also as powerful as a zombie, the body is hard, and it is difficult for ordinary swords to hurt it. What's even more hateful is that these corpse keepers feed the 'human puppets' with rotting human corpses every day, so that the 'human puppets' contain a large amount of corpse poison in their bodies. If you are scratched or bitten by a 'human puppet', you will be poisoned by the corpse, and there is almost no cure, and those who are hit will die. Moreover, compared to refining corpses, the growth rate of 'human puppets' is much faster. As the more rotting corpses eat, the corpse poison in the human puppet's body will become stronger and stronger, and it is said that the breath spewed by some 'human puppets' will poison people. ”
Hearing that human puppets need to eat rotting human corpses every day, Goku is a little sick to his stomach. Looking at the roasted leg of lamb, I can't say anything I can't eat. Ye Gucheng smiled and took the leg of mutton and ate it casually. Maybe it's because I've eaten a lot just now, but this time it's very Sven.
Wukong looked at Ye Gucheng hatefully, eating the leg of mutton one bite at a time, and thought, "This guy must have done it on purpose." Wukong asked again, "Then how did you get together with the 'human puppet'?" ”
"Nonsense, what do you mean to get together? I am a generation of heroes, and it is my duty to be chivalrous and righteous. These corpse keepers who refine 'human puppets' have to feed the 'human puppets' with rotting corpses every day, and if they can't find the rotting corpses for a while, they will go to catch the living people, kill them, and feed the 'human puppets' after they decay. These 'human puppets' were raised by a demon called Zichen, and when I traveled three months ago, I accidentally discovered the Zichen Demon Dao stealing corpses and refining human puppets. A generation of heroes like me, how can I allow such demons to cause trouble to the world, of course, I have to kill demons. Isn't this just chasing them all the way here? ”
"Hunted for three months? You haven't killed them for so long? It's not like you can't beat them, right? Goku said skeptically.
"How come," Ye Gucheng hurriedly distinguished: "It turns out that there are four 'human puppets', and I have already killed one, and there are no three left." The demon road has also learned to be obedient.,Almost never act separately from the human puppet.,The human puppet is under the control of the demon dao.,It's really not easy to have an offensive and a defensive.。 Last time, it was your big bull brother, I finally had one chance after another, and the demon road was not with a puppet. It could have been a one-hit hit, and at least one more could have been killed. It was your big bull brother who came out to stir up the situation and alarmed the demon road, which was a failure. ”
"So, you still can't beat it. The one you killed was also a sneak attack, right? He also bragged that he had chased them for three months, which was just a stalk at best. ”
Ye Gucheng threw the leftover bones to the side, and said disappreciably: "Little brat, what do you know? When a strong enemy is invincible, it is necessary to outwit it. I was looking for opportunities, breaking them one by one, and finally catching them all. ”
Wukong thought for a while, stepped forward and said, "Brother Ye, since you can't beat them alone, then I'll help you?" The two of us can always do it, right? ”
"Just you? I still think being a chef is more suitable for you. Okay, I'm done talking to you about the puppet. You should tell me, why are you looking for youkai? ”
Wukong thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll tell you." So he told Ye Gucheng how to get the spirit core inadvertently and how to swallow it. just hid the existence of the old man, and only said that after the transformation, Ji Qingyun and the others didn't stop him and let him escape. Later, by coincidence, I met a master from outside the world, and I wanted to worship the master as a teacher and learn the skills to go back to take revenge. However, the master found that he had no spiritual roots and could not cultivate, so he did not accept him. However, when he left, he told him that his physique had changed, and he was already a half-demon body, and if he could find a way to cultivate demons, he might be able to practice.
When Ye Gucheng heard this, he suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Bastards, these so-called masters, they are all fucking bastards. Just use a bullshit spiritual root, divide people into three, six, nine, etc., with a spiritual root is the dragon and phoenix among people, and without a spiritual root is a pig and a dog. Bastards, all ****** assholes. ”
Wukong was also shocked when he saw Ye Gucheng so angry. Asked cautiously: "Brother Ye, what's wrong with you?" Did I say something wrong? ”
I saw that Ye Gucheng took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, before he regained his composure, looked at Wukong and said, "It's nothing, I just had a feeling for a while." What is the Spiritual Root? It's just the ability to perceive the aura of heaven and earth. The way of cultivation, how much more than 10 million? Talent, chance, exercises, perseverance, etc., which is not the most important thing. Where is it that a single spiritual root can decide everything? ”
Wukong said blankly: "But isn't cultivation all about attracting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, tempering the physical body, and condensing the divine sense?" Those spells also need to use the aura of heaven and earth, how can you practice if you can't sense the aura of heaven and earth? ”
"The aura of heaven and earth, in the final analysis, is a kind of power, there are many powers between heaven and earth, the power of yin and yang, the power of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and so on. As far as the 'human puppet' I told you, isn't it also the use of carrion corpses to become powerful? This carrion is also a kind of power. ”
Wukong, the first time he heard this theory, he was very surprised, and said sneeringly: "You mean that rotting corpses are also a kind of power, and I need to practice with rotting corpses?" ”
"Stupid, I'll get you a carrion, can you eat it and see?"
Wukong had a picture of himself holding a human leg and gnawing on it, and he couldn't help but shiver and shake his head again and again.
Ye Gucheng said: "Then even if you don't eat you to death, you will only become a walking corpse that only knows how to kill." Then I'll be the first to cut you down, so I don't have to hurt people. After speaking, he sat back next to the boulder and beckoned to Wukong, "Come here, I'll give you a good explanation of this way of cultivation." ”
