The helicopter left the military card and circled at low altitude for a while, and sure enough, we found a large number of undressed child zombies in the rolling zombie group, although these little guys were small and slow, but they still followed the adult zombies slowly to the west. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This amount itself is very suspicious, when the corpse chaos occurs, children are always the first to be eaten, the probability of becoming a zombie is very small, and the probability of being complete like this is even smaller, Wang Agui They have seen the most complete child zombies also have to lose a few pieces of meat, but the following little zombies are intact, not even bloodstains, although the rain can wash away the bloodstains, but this is a bit too clean, right?

The helicopter flew off the ground and circled silently over the small base that had been left behind, the buses still faithfully leaning against the walls, the two large abandoned truck cranes still rusting in place, and the dropped Buick van had become dusty and sludge. Everything was similar to before Wang Agui and the others left, except that the courtyard was covered with blood stains and human remains, and dozens of zombies of all kinds were wandering and playing inside; The gate of the base was completely knocked down from the outside, but the abandoned construction truck used to top the gate remained in place.

Wang Agui didn't put the engineering truck against the gate when they left, just to leave the small base for the survivors nearby who couldn't escape, and also left them some food. The team has lived here for nearly half a year, and the range of activities is very large, and the small group of survivors in this neighborhood must have noticed them, but because Wang Agui and they have always been in men's clothes when they train, and women are also women dressed as men, it is easy to be regarded as a purely violent team, anyway, no one has gone over to defect in that small half a year.

The courtyard was littered with blood-stained pots and pans, worn clothes, and the pile of human remains, indicating that the nearby survivors had lived in it, but they still hadn't escaped the zombies. Only then did Wang Agui realize that he had made a big mistake - the engineering truck used for the top gate couldn't be pushed at all with the physical strength of those scrawny survivors, and the two thin iron doors alone couldn't stop the attack of the zombie army. But this also proves the correctness of guerrilla warfare from another side, if you still stay here, the zombie attacks day and night will drive everyone crazy sooner or later.

After circling in a familiar place nearby, the plane pulled high and flew towards the small mountain village. The survivors of the small mountain village are no longer surprised by Wang Agui's arrival, for them, as long as Wang Agui and they come, it means that there is still hope for the village; If they don't come here one day, it means that the village is not far from being destroyed.

"Why didn't you turn on the pump?" On the way to the house where the old patriarch lived, Wang Agui saw the long pile of pipes stacked in a livestock shed without even opening the packaging.

"Hehe, no need, the abnormal weather seems to be a foregone conclusion, it rains here for three days, and the stream in the back valley that has been broken for decades has begun to flow again, and the valley is surrounded by small mounds, and only one road behind the village can go down, so as not to delay getting water." One of the elders who accompanied him said with a smile.

Several elders in the village who came to greet them also nodded with a smile; They knew that this one-armed soldier could come over again and again for the respected old patriarch, otherwise it would be considered a great kindness if people could come over two or three times, and they could come for the fourth and fifth times? Every time I come back, the people have never been empty-handed, this group of soldiers is the hope of the village, and the old patriarch is the only bond that maintains this hope, but the old patriarch doesn't seem to last long, the living conditions in the last days are very poor, and the old patriarch's health is also deteriorating.

"Old patriarch, he—" Wang Agui asked implicitly as he walked.

"Alas, the old patriarch has not been able to go down to the ground since the last rain, and several doctors have taken a look, and there is no illness, but he is old, and the time is almost up." The elder, who seemed to be in second place, shook his head regretfully.

"Well, rest assured; No matter what the old patriarch is, we will still come over every once in a while. Wang Agui sighed, stopped and said to the elders in the village around him. He knew what the villagers were worried about, but he couldn't promise them anything, everything was impermanent, everything was uncertain, and he could only calm their hearts by saying this now.

The warm kang in the deserted brick house is burned to the full, but the old patriarch can't go to the ground, although he still looks so tough, but people can't fight the passage of life, he can only lean on the bed and talk to Wang Agui, but the old patriarch's thinking is still very clear, and he is fluent, able to eat and sleep.

"Alas, it's not been a few days, and it's a stretch to be able to hold on for a while; Now the village is not like before, there are fewer people to eat and drink, now there are more than 3,000 people, there is water again, and the grain grown in the terraced fields on the mountainside has been harvested for a season, barely enough to survive this winter; It's going to be another year, and it'll be out this time next year. The old patriarch said with a smile and patted the quilt.

"I brought some food this time, not much, but there is also a thousand children and eight hundred pounds, the adults are hungry, and the children should not be too hungry. Our next step is to find a national grain depot to get some food, and if it succeeds, everyone will not have to go hungry this winter. Wang Agui held the hand of the old patriarch and said.

"Yes, I'm a company commander of a reinforced company now. After a while, he will be the battalion commander, the regiment commander, and soon the division commander. The old patriarch smiled heartily, and the elders in the village had already told him that Wang Agui would not leave them alone.

The old patriarch motioned for everyone to go out, leaving only Wang Agui, Steel Rope, Yanyun, and an elder in the village, Wang Agui realized that the old patriarch might have to explain the future.

"Agui, he is my chosen successor, the next patriarch, and a veteran who has been on the battlefield." The old patriarch saw everyone close the door and leave, his face that was still smiling just now suddenly became gloomy, and the old patriarch pointed to the elder who stayed and said, "His name is Wang Qingxi, he fought in the Vietnam War, from the first border conflict in 73 to the official end of the Sino-Vietnamese special war in 87, and he really finished the entire Vietnam War. ”

Wang Agui looked at the elder who was already in his 60s, with a yellow and thin face, chaotic eyes, and teeth blackened by inferior smoke; A dark blue tunic, with a thick padded jacket and an old-fashioned peaked cap on his head; dirty pants, barefoot wearing a pair of black cotton shoes; He bent his waist and smiled at Wang Agui.

He was one of the elders who went to pick up Wang Agui just now, but judging from their queue just now, this old man was only ranked fifth, and he was the fifth among the ten respected elders in the village; The first is of course the old patriarch, the second is the village chief, the third is the village party secretary, the fourth is the village accountant, and the fifth is the old man who can't see what he can do.

The years of tempering and wind and frost have made the old man lose all his edges and corners, and Wang Agui can't see anything except a stiff and sleek look from this old man who is smiling with his waist bent. But Wang Agui believed that this old man was very skillful, first of all, he was strongly recommended by the old patriarch; Second, he fought the entire Vietnam War for almost 20 years.

Wang Agui's father is a veteran of the Vietnam War, and he naturally knows that the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam is not just a large-scale battle in 79; From the Sino-Vietnamese conflict in 73 to the table in 79, Vietnam was beaten to the point that its nose and eyes were swollen, this is only the first half of the performance, and from the beginning of the 80s, only a small number of people know about the special war between China and Vietnam for nearly ten years; There are also very few people who fight from beginning to end - if the old man really fought the Vietnam War from beginning to end, then the old man would be quite a remarkable figure; And often such people only have the way to hide in the countryside, they do not belong to the era of desperate for money, but now, their era has come again after twenty years.

Wang Agui looked at the old patriarch's expectant eyes and said secretly in his heart: Old patriarch, you are supporting Gu, do you know that it is impossible for my Wang Agui to stay here for too long, in case we escape to the Middle East one day, will what I say still work?

"Ah Gui, the old man knows, the old man knows everything; But there are more than 3,000 people in the village, and there will be more and more in the future, and no one with skills will be able to control it. Now in the village, there is a faction of the village chief, a faction of the village party secretary, and a faction of the production captain, and the three factions are making trouble in private. The old man is alive and can still hold on, but as soon as the old man leaves, this village is afraid that flesh and blood will fly. The old patriarch grabbed Wang Agui's hand and shook it tightly, and gave Wang Agui a rough explanation of the situation in the village. The complexity of the forces in the village and the depth of grievances and entanglements surprised Wang Agui.

Wang Agui secretly made up his mind, and whatever the old patriarch entrusted him with, he had to do it. The zombies of the last days are not terrible, what is terrible is infighting and endless power struggle; Although there is nothing to fight for, but the struggle for power and profit to a certain extent is completely for the sake of a breath, just like the hatred between two villages in many places that has been passed down for generations, maybe at the beginning for a ridge or a wall, but then the meaning is no longer as simple as it was at the beginning.

And it's the same for the three factions in the small mountain village, which one hasn't been cultivated for many years, which one isn't intricate and deep-rooted, and which one hasn't had many years of grievances and hatred with each other? Although it is not so much that it is not in the sky, it is no less than going to the sky to untie this knot; Sincere cooperation can only achieve that balance with someone like the old patriarch; When the old patriarch is a hundred years later, this balance will inevitably be broken, and the three factions will definitely be killed before the balance is restored, and those outside survivors who do not know anything about the grievances and entanglements in the village will inevitably be taken as victims.

All this old patriarch foresaw, everyone who has experienced the vicissitudes of life has foreseen it, although the leaders of each faction are elders who are over the age of sixties, but things can't help them, and not every old man can see through the red world, how many years of history have proved that people are not necessarily old. There used to be laws, and then there were old patriarchs, but what about after the old patriarchs were gone? In this era when killing people is not illegal, and it is even possible to be the emperor of a party, it is not excluded that some people will be carried away by ** and go to the step of "Tianshui King".

"Is the militia captain Da Niu one of your men? Also, do they know about Uncle Qingxi in private? Wang Agui frowned and asked.

"I don't know, not many people know; I know that all the old people in the village have been with the old man for more than 20 years. Militia captain Wang Daniu, these people were secretly arranged by the old man and Qingxi," the old patriarch said in detail the arrangements he had made for more than a year. The various plans are quite rigorous, and the feasibility is very high, and it can be seen that even if Wang Agui does not come, the old patriarch is already ready to do it.

"Well, that's good; Agui will help Uncle Qingxi open the way, and the next thing depends on Uncle Qingxi's wrist. Wang Agui looked at Wang Qingxi, he was still a little skeptical that this old man who was a rural lazy man could have such great ability.

Although Wang Agui felt that he was a bit used as a knife, he had nothing to refuse. First, it is entrusted by the old patriarch, and secondly, compared to killing a river of blood in the future, it is better to let the people brought up by the old patriarch run it, at least he can do it according to the will of the old patriarch.

If someone else didn't even trust the old patriarch to manage this village, Wang Agui was even more unsure that person could manage it well. Wang Agui understands that the old patriarch will not be stupid enough to think that he has become his descendant, and wants to use his own strength to expand the territory of the "Wang Dynasty", if Wang Qingxi wants to be the "King of Tianshui", Wang Agui does not mind letting him follow the old "King of Tianshui".

If you can save the survivors in this mountain village, you can be used as a knife; Besides, Wang Agui still has the idea of this mountain village-

This mountain village has a limited capacity, and sooner or later it will be overcrowded, and it can be used as its own source of troops and food supply base in the future.

"You can rest assured; The old man has been fighting for nearly 20 years and is definitely capable of managing this village well. Wang Qingxi suddenly straightened his back, his cloudy eyes became clear, a veteran's unique essence flashed in his brown eyes, and his deep voice showed that his confidence was very sufficient.

Wang Agui smiled and nodded, he felt the unique bloodiness of people who have experienced the battlefield, this kind of temperament is definitely not something that people who have not been on the battlefield and have not killed people have.

"Old patriarch, without further ado, we can't stay here for too long, let's do it tonight, lest we have too many dreams at night." Wang Agui said to the old patriarch. Capture the thief and capture the king first, and those old men with great energy will give them a ride first, as for the rest, if Wang Qingxi can't even put them on the table, this can only show that Wang Qingxi is too tender, and this is also an opportunity to test him. Some people must die, and for the sake of long-term peace and stability, these hidden dangers must be eliminated as soon as possible.

"Well, that's what I mean; It's best if the old man can help Qingxi on the horse when he is still there, so that the old man can give him a ride. The sooner the better, how are you going to do it? How do you need our cooperation? The old patriarch touched Bai Huahua's beard and said.

Wang Agui looked back at the tightrope and Yanyun, this was not a war, this was an assassination, and he knew very little about it. Tightrope and Yanyun glanced at each other, and their expressions were different, which showed that the two did not reach a consensus.

A mountain village is actually no different from a country, and the three-legged stand is the most terrifying, far more terrifying than two tigers fighting. The relationship between triangles has been the most stable since ancient times, restraining and balancing each other, but consuming and restricting each other, and everyone has fallen together; The old patriarch took measures to suppress it, but Wang Qingxi did not have the prestige of the old patriarch, so breaking this balance and making it a situation of two tigers competing is the best way at present. But in this closed environment, it cannot come openly, otherwise the three forces will quickly unite to deal with the new side, and if they want to come, they can only come in the dark.

"What I mean is to pull out the village chief with the most energy among the three forces, and let them compete with each other, Uncle Qingxi can sit on the profits of the fisherman, and there is no need to kill irrelevant people; On the contrary, it is a great guarantee for party struggle to be used well, especially the phenomenon of 'two skins' unique to rural areas. We just need to upset this established balance. The steel rope nodded to Yanyun, and motioned for each to say their own thing, and let Wang Agui and the old patriarch decide.

"I'm thinking of getting rid of them all, so that will" Yan Yun had a reason to say, but as soon as the tightrope finished speaking, she realized that her idea was so far from the tightrope; So after a few sentences, he simply shut up.

"Well, just do what the tightrope says. Old patriarch, let's have a banquet at night. Wang Agui nodded in agreement. In the past, the patriarch in the village could only be regarded as a formal existence, and the village party secretary with the greatest energy was the village party secretary, but after the corpse rebellion, the most energetic except the patriarch was the elected village chief, and as for the production captain, it was even more chaotic; The tightrope was very thoughtful, only one village chief was eliminated, and the remaining two old bureaucrats could not make much of a storm at all; After all, this is a rural area with a strong sense of clan, and in dangerous times, the villagers will unconsciously heed the ancient call from the clan; This is also the basis for the old patriarch to be able to implement the ancient family rule of "stoning to death".

"Okay, I'll go find Lao Qiu to go back, and by the way, find two more people to come over and help." Seeing the old patriarch's approval, Steelrope turned around and walked out.

Watching the tightrope close the door and go out, Wang Agui felt the sourness in Yanyun's heart. In fact, Wang Agui has long seen that the era of Yanyun is gone, and all the skills she has learned are based on that era of thirty years of peace, leaving the environment where people are everywhere and high-tech everywhere, what she has learned is useless at all, and all kinds of appliances and medicines she needs cannot be provided; The layout traps she was familiar with could no longer be used due to the different circumstances. Tightrope doesn't know Yanyun's identity as a killer, and it stands to reason that Yanyun should be able to propose the best way to do this kind of thing, but she can't do it, because the world has now returned to the ancient mode of relying on manpower to compete; And the tightrope is precisely the one who is most in line with the requirements of this era.

"Girl, don't be sour, Candle Jiuyin has its destined path. No one knows what the road will look like, but you have to understand that fate and time will lead you to the path you are destined for. The old patriarch looked at Yanyun, who wanted to cry, and said.

"Old Patriarch" Yanyun's voice was a little choked. She has long understood her current status: driving her is not as good as Zhang Yu on behalf of Anyang; Practicing medicine and consulting her, she is not as good as Li Jiayang and Anlan on behalf of them; Writing, arithmetic, and painting, she is not as good as Song Wan'er, Shan Yaoyao, and Ye Qing'er; She is not as good as Han Yan, who was born in the regular army, and her skills are tailored for her.

Yanyun's cultural level is not low, but her knowledge is too narrow, and she is not as good as the twin sisters from the family as a secretary; Even the murderous technique she is proud of is slowly losing the stage; She can't find anything she can be confident in at the moment except for a body of kung fu - but with a man, can a woman be used in a fight? She doesn't seem to be of much use except being a bodyguard for Wang Agui, but Wang Agui's bodyguard has always been just for pomp, although Wang Agui and everyone won't laugh at her because of this, but she doesn't want to be a vase herself.

"Old patriarch, do you know what I used to do?" Yan Yun rubbed her tears and asked pitifully.

"Old patriarch, do you know what I used to do?" Yan Yun rubbed her tears and asked pitifully.

"I knew it from the first time I saw you, but I wasn't sure at the time, but I thought about it for a while, and it must have been. I think of two people of this size and those four steel teeth. The old patriarch coughed and said, "Girl, let me ask you, who are the 'Golden River Water Ghost' Yan Yulong and the 'Thousand-faced Lady' Yu Yuejuan?" ”

"Yan Yulong is the father; Yu Yuejuan is my master; Old Patriarch, do you recognize them? Yanyun was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Alas, half a century has passed; Yan Yulong used to be a soldier led by an old man. That's a man, when he entered the Korean War, my country did not have a navy, and I was helpless in the face of the many landing craft and landing ships of the coalition forces; In the end, a veteran summoned a group of Jiangnan fighters with good water ability to dive into the water and artificially detonate the landing craft; Thousands of good hands in the water survived a rain dragon. In the winter, after pouring two sips of soju, you can dive in the water for a day and a night, and quietly dive under the landing craft to detonate waterproof explosives; In the first battle of the Zijin River, he sank 100 landing craft in his life, and after this battle, the name of the "Golden River Water Ghost" spread all over the rivers and lakes. The old patriarch leaned back on the bed and stared at the ceiling, opening up his dusty memories of the famous war half a century ago.

"Yu Yuejuan didn't recognize it, but he knew. Back then, the whole country devoted its strength to resist US aggression and aid Korea, but some people took the opportunity to make a lot of money; Jianghu Dao also dispatched a large number of killers to assist the central government in carrying out the purge operation, Yu Yuejuan should be the female killer of Hongmen, right? How many traitors, compradors, profiteers, and spies were killed back then, because her face was different every time she killed someone, so no one knew what she looked like; At that time, people were panicked, and the rich man couldn't even believe his wife, lest she was the killer. The reputation of the 'Lady with a Thousand Faces' was passed down at that time, and it is said that the four stainless steel tiger teeth in her mouth and the candle nine yin on her back were her only signs, but then she was branded as a black five category - alas, don't say it, don't say it. Speaking of that era when there was no distinction between black and white, the old patriarch waved his hand and stopped talking.

"None of these fathers and masters have mentioned these to Yanyun." Yan Yun felt a little at a loss, she didn't know these things at all, "I haven't seen my mother, my father left early, and my master has always brought me up." ”

"Alas, Yan Yulong was in his fifties when he had you, right? Elderly women are naturally very pampered, and those sad past events will pass, and the things of the older generation do not need young people to bear. The old patriarch smiled and said, "Yan Yulong is a tall and slender man, more than one meter nine tall but only a hundred pounds, his body bones are very soft, and he is like a snake in the water." When you first came over, the old man felt that temperament was very familiar, but I didn't expect it to be the daughter of an old man. ”

Yanyun opened her mouth and had nothing to say, for her, she didn't know her background at all, she only knew that she had not had a happy childhood since she was a child, and she was forced to learn all kinds of murder techniques and carry out endless assassination activities since she was a child; It wasn't until one day that the master tattooed the candle Jiuyin on her back and told her that she was out of school, that she knew that there was love, romance, snacks, beautiful clothes, and sunshine boys, which should belong to every young girl. It's a pity that she was sent to the state secret laboratory before she had time to savor all this. But for Yanyun, it doesn't matter if she knows her background or not, her father is dead, her master is missing, and her only relative now is Wang Agui - as for the rest, it doesn't matter.

"Girl, how much have you learned your father's skills? How much have you learned your master's skills? The old patriarch asked again.

"My father has learned all the skills; I've been soaking in the water since I first knew how to run. Master's transfiguration technique was only sixty percent learned, and the rest of the master no longer taught, and she said that she didn't want me to die like her, not knowing what my true face looked like. Yanyun replied honestly.

"Yes, Yu Yuejuan did a good job, the disguise technique is only suitable for petite Jiangnan women, your size is too obvious, you can't do half of your master; It is estimated that you have learned less than seventy percent of your master's killing stunts. Do you understand your master's intention of tattooing candles for you? The old patriarch continued.

"My master said that the candle is nine yin in the northwest extreme yin land, and the candle shines in the sky; Born at the bottom of the abyss, growing up in the netherworld, encountering flames and living with dragons, returning to the bitter cold water to help the flames rise to the sky. But I couldn't figure out what it meant, I only knew that it might have something to do with him, he had an Eight Desolation Fire Dragon tattooed on his back. Yanyun pointed at Wang Agui.

"Hey, Agui, you kid really dare to tattoo that." As soon as he heard that Wang Agui had a Eight Desolation Fire Dragon tattooed on his body, the old patriarch and Wang Qingxi glanced at each other, their eyes full of surprise and smiles, like the recognition of the younger generations by the two elders.

"Fire dragon with candle dragon, the legend of the rivers and lakes is really not groundless." Wang Qingxi looked at Wang Agui and said to the old patriarch, Wang Qingxi at this time is no longer the old man who was so humble that he could only laugh just now, but he is like an old soldier with a heroic righteousness again.

"Girl, what your master told you is actually your whole life; Your master is a master of fate, and from the very beginning, he knows the general trend and destiny of your life. 'Back to the bitter cold waters' means that the time has come for you to return to the water, and the kung fu that your father taught you is now coming in handy, and this is the age of those old tricks. The old patriarch looked at Yanyun and said solemnly, "Girl, how long has it been since you soaked in water?" Kung fu is rusty, right? ”

"I haven't been in water in years; Since my father left, no one cared about me, so I rarely went to soak in the water, but at that time, the rivers, lakes and seas were polluted, and I couldn't go into the water at all. Yanyun covered her mouth embarrassedly.

"It doesn't matter, the skills you learn will never be forgotten, as long as you get familiar with them again. Heavy industry has stopped for a year and a half, and the rivers, lakes and seas outside here are estimated to have been almost purified, and your time is coming again. The old patriarch said meaningfully. This 'you' is referring to Yanyun, Wang Qingxi, and the tightrope and the thousands of people who were called "outdated" before the corpse chaos, when high-tech is reduced to waste paper overnight, these "outdated" people will re-enter the stage of history and stand at the peak of the times according to the established laws.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"Old patriarch, there is one more thing I want to ask the old patriarch for advice." Wang Agui nodded at Yanyun and motioned for her to go out first, Wang Qingxi saw Yanyun open the door and go out, and nodded at the two of them and walked out.

"That's it, I want to ask the old patriarch, how did the 'psychic forces' of all dynasties, including contemporary countries, control these strange people? And why is this happening? Doesn't it mean that only people with extremely calm minds can learn spells? Wang Agui told the old patriarch in detail about his hidden worries. Creature armor can only be used as a last resort, but it is easier to die than much harder to obey; Wang Agui must know how to control this kind of person.

"What 'drilling', his own name, right? Hehe, you were deceived by that kid, maybe he himself didn't understand at all. The old patriarch laughed, looking at Wang Agui's puzzled look and feeling very funny.

"The old man has seen this kind of person, when the land of China was full of smoke, all kinds of capable people emerged in an endless stream, and this kind of person has legends everywhere. He is actually a special function, and it is also a kind of genetic mutation, which has nothing to do with spells at all. What is Spell? A spell is a supernatural power, but a supernatural power is not a spell. When a person has attained supernatural powers, is he still a 'human'? Therefore, one can never learn magic. ”

"But why are there people who know how to spell? In fact, they use the supernatural powers of the ancestor of the sect to perform spells, just like the Taoist priest must be granted the 'space talisman' before leaving the school, which means that he is allowed to use the supernatural power of the ancestor of the sect, and he personally does not have this ability. The so-called 'Luban Technique', 'Zhu Youshu', 'Alchemy Melting Technique', and 'Tiefutu' are the techniques of resisting humiliation that have been passed down from various types of work, and they are just relying on the magic power of the ancestors. These are all strict systems and teacher-teacher relationships, and they are not something that any monk, Taoist, or craftsman can do, let alone be taught by a 'stranger'. ”

"The 'people' who know how to do magic are either outsiders, such as the guards at the Nagano base, and everything is done according to the sky. Either it's a person who has worked hard all his life, you go back and ask Lao Ma and Lao Zhou, what is the price for them to learn these methods? Living at the bottom of society all his life, although there is no shortage of food and drink, and he is not exposed to cold, he can't make a fortune and become an official all his life, and if he has the same, he will inevitably lose the same. But look at the Ouda you said, he is a child of the official family, right? Also tested for civil servants, fighting fathers, and ambitions, can this kind of person have spells? The old patriarch explained unhurriedly.

"Is it also a special function to be able to drill in the soil? How can the human body burrow in such dense soil? Wang Agui still doesn't quite understand. But he understood one thing, it is absolutely impossible for ambitious, capable, powerful and rich people to have supernatural powers, and no one in this world can get them all, otherwise, this world would have been chaotic a long time ago.

"Hehe, can the special function be explained by people, is it still called a supernatural phenomenon? So many of the world's top magicians are actually special functionals; For example, David Copperfield, he can drill the Great Wall, so what's impossible for that kid to drill the ground? Some people say that David dug a tunnel at the foot of the Great Wall, and the person who said this is a foolish person, and the Great Wall can dig a tunnel at will? I don't take Chinese ZF too seriously, right? Some people just want to explain everything with science, but they can't explain anything. The old patriarch snorted disdainfully.

"In ancient times, there were Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, and in modern times, there were Zeng Guofan and Yuan Shikai; Later, there were Bai Chongxi and Long Yun; Even later, how could those people in the secret services of the republic know how to spell? Wang Agui still didn't quite understand what was going on, so he could only ask questions little by little.

"Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi are people who have been mythologized by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", they are just wise men full of wisdom, how can people who are in the prime minister, marry wives and have children be so magical? If he really has that ability, why didn't he usurp the throne and seize power? People today don't preach morality, but people at that time were very moral? What kind of morality is Cao Cao digging people's ancestral graves? What kind of hero is Liu Bei who caused the company to burn down the camp for his own revenge? ”

"Zeng Guofan, Yuan Shikai is known as physiognomy is superb, especially Zeng Guofan's "Bingjian" is written even more miraculous, such as physiognomy, feng shui those things are called spells, but in fact, it is not the case, it is just an accumulation of experience inherited by human beings for many years, and Zeng Guofan and Yuan Shikai have studied and practiced this, and over time, they have naturally perfected the law of people, and they are also very talented in this regard, that's all."

"As for Bai Chongxi and Long Yun, they are just local warlords who know how to use feng shui, if they really have that ability, why don't they replace Jiang Guangtou?" The old patriarch wanted to knock Wang Agui with a stick, if it was someone else, the old patriarch would really dare to knock it with a stick.

"Isn't that Qimen Dunjia claimed to be able to march and set up formations? I've really heard of someone who uses a stool to set up a formation at home according to Qimen Dunjia, and people can't get out if they're trapped inside. Wang Agui looked at the old patriarch embarrassedly, because the old patriarch's words were too far from what he knew before. In that era of developed media, Wang Agui was inevitably influenced by film and television dramas and novels, how could it be so easy to get to the bottom of it?

"Qimen Dunjia is very powerful, but there are also a lot of rules; The marching array is just a military application of Qimen Dunjia, and it has nothing to do with spells. Otherwise, how many talented people do I have? How can little devils invade? But we just let the family be bullied from the Qing Dynasty to the end of the Anti-Japanese War; In just eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, more than 100 million people were killed, starved, and disabled, and two generations of young men between the ages of 15 and 35 were either dead or disabled, and they were reduced to the point of almost being cut off; Why didn't the guy you were talking about at that time go to the front and set up a few stools? Is it too hard to let the little devil be trapped inside? - It's useless, he's either blowing nonsense, or it can only be used for self-protection like 'Luban'. The old patriarch was already a little whiskered and glaring.

"Hehe, let's not talk about this, the things of the netherworld are difficult for mortals to guess, I just need to know that he can't spell." Wang Agui saw that the old patriarch was looking for a crutch to knock on him, and hurriedly waved his hand to change the topic, "Hasn't the United States been committed to building a 'psychic army' of people with pure special functions, and this China also has it, right?" ”

"Yes, there have been dynasties and dynasties; Bai Chongxi is known as 'Little Zhuge ', this name is not for nothing, it is said that he has 18 senior guards under him, which is likely to be a team composed of people with special functions. and Long Yun, it is estimated that he has collected a group of such people to work for him; Including the 'strangers' in Meng Weijun's 'Three Thousand Diners' are all in this situation. When the dynasty was first seen, there were 21 people in our army, and the original nickname was the 'Seven Columns', a total of 21 people, and Yan Yulong was just one of them; I don't know what it was called in the future, and I don't know if there was a 'Chinese Dragon Group' when I heard the later generations say that there was a 'Chinese Dragon Group'. The old patriarch thought for a moment and said.

"But just like Cheng Fei said, the special function is just that a certain function of the human body is more developed, and all the techniques of controlling people are useful to them; How powerful can they outweigh the engine? No matter how fast you run, you can run as fast as you can with bullets? No matter how far you look, they are not radars. Moreover, there are very few such people, and they may not be able to pick out one out of tens of thousands of people, otherwise the 'psychic troops' of the United States will not be able to form combat effectiveness for many years. The old patriarch took a sip of water.

"In other words, Ouda can kill people and steal things with special functions? There are no so-called taboos at all? Wang Agui himself felt that his problem was idiotic, no wonder the old patriarch wanted to knock him, he wanted to knock himself, but this field was rarely involved in him.

"Yes, there are no taboos. At the beginning of the Mingjiao Zhu Yuanzhang uprising, weren't there people who could sneak in the quicksand? You can drill water, you can drill sand, why can't you drill soil? But you don't have to be afraid of him, there are countless ways to kill people, what about one more special function? He can drill the soil, but he may not be able to drill cement, marble, let alone steel plates. ”

"As long as you can do it: induce them to be in a position of power, threaten to kill them with torture, and be afraid of it, it is enough to make them obey - don't learn General Feng's method of governing the army, it seems that the army is governed very strictly, but at the beginning of the Central Plains War, all the 100,000 elites defected before the war began; What you want to learn is Zhang Zuolin and Bai Chongxi, so as to 'open up the world and make the cold people happy'. "The old patriarch didn't want to talk about it anymore, but changed the subject; Maybe Wang Agui has too little knowledge.

"I'm afraid of strange arts-" Wang Agui chewed on the words he heard for the first time, and seemed to have experienced some samadhi.

"By the way, old patriarch, Yanyun's father—what the hell is going on? And that underwater kung fu? Wang Agui untied the knot in his heart and asked about Yanyun.

"Yanyun didn't tell you this?" The old patriarch looked at Wang Agui and shook his head innocently, then sighed, "Alas, you go back and ask her." The old man just said simply: Yan Yulong can dive in the water for three days and three nights without coming out to get angry, if someone gives him food, he can be an adult and tired for a lifetime without coming out, do you know why? ”

"The kung fu of underwater ventilation is good among the fishermen in Jiangnan, this is not uncommon, but it is indeed incredible to be able to dive for so long. Then he must have some organs that are suitable for breathing in water. Wang Agui suddenly remembered a post-apocalyptic movie he had watched before, and the survivors in it had this ability.

"Yes, you can't imagine it, Yanyu Dragon has - gills." The old patriarch slowly spat out the last word.

"Gills?!" Wang Agui was shocked, he had read a lot of ancient Zhiwei novels, and people with cheeks have always existed in the entire history of mankind, but they have always been recorded in the history of barnyard officials and notebook novels, could it be that there is really such a person?

"You go back and see Yanyun, she should have it too; Just between the teeth and the ears, under the skin on the cheeks. The old patriarch pointed to his cheeks.

"Once, Yan Yulong was stunned by a grenade thrown into the water, and I dragged him up, and the military doctor found it when he examined his injuries, and the chief at that time gave a gag order to not let anyone say anything outside. This is actually a genetic mutation, which makes the gills that have been degraded for hundreds of millions of years grow back into the human body; And I estimate that this gene may have been passed down for several generations, and the Ouda family probably does the same; It is likely that the grandfather of the Ou family did not realize that he had this ability when he was a child, and suddenly realized it one day but could not explain it, so he could only make up his own reason to prevaricate, the older generation of people are very superstitious, and it is estimated that this is how the rules and precepts came out. The old patriarch continued to explain.

"Yanyun and Ouda are genetic inheritance; Yu Yang, that's a genetic mutation - Yang Lang China, sure enough, there are countless strange people! Wang Agui suddenly felt a flame burning in his chest, a "psychic army", a force composed entirely of people with special functions, who has this mighty army, wouldn't it be overwhelming to conquer the world in this last days?

"Stop dreaming!" The old patriarch saw that Wang Agui was a little distraught, as if he knew what he was thinking, so he shouted in a low voice, "The old man tells you that this kind of person has always been one in ten thousand; Jiang Guangtou ordered Dai Li to collect more than 300 strange people in the world, and even the military commander and the central commander were not enough. The republic gathered talented people from all over the world, and as a result, only 21 people were sent to fight in the DPRK, so you can imagine how many such people there are? How many will there be in these last days? "Golden River Water Ghost" for more than half a century no one can stand out, when you have the ability, go to the monument near the Fresh Purple River to see, the monument of "Golden River Water Ghost" is carved by the Americans. ”

"Alas—but these men are nothing when they leave the battlefield, and they all end up sadly; Ah Gui, these people follow you all have a plan, and glory and wealth are indispensable. The old patriarch sighed deeply and came to a conclusion.

"Old patriarch, I understand!" Wang Agui nodded slowly, and the old patriarch gave him another vivid lesson, maybe this is the last lesson, right? If he encounters difficulties again in the future, will there still be a well-informed person like the old patriarch to guide him?

However, Wang Agui also untied a knot: those who know magic do not fall into the dust; Those who fall into the red dust do not know spells; The matter of red dust has to be mastered by the people of red dust.
