Chapter 558: Where did the corpse come from, the legend of heaven

Xiao Hei excitedly circled around me, although the little guy is smart, but after all, he is a dog, he can't communicate with me directly, and the truth of the matter can only be guessed.

Tang Hongying saw that my remarks were clearly prevaricating, so she didn't ask any more questions, and thoughtfully diverted the topic.

This girl is not a few years older than me and Amorous, but she has some knowledge in her belly, and she has a lot of knowledge about the art of chasing corpses.

I secretly looked at her carefully, only to find that although this woman's facial features are not beautiful, they are obviously different from us, and she seems to be an ethnic minority. And she has a cool and bloody courage in her gestures, which is quite the style of a border person.

There was a sound behind him, and it turned out that the fat man, Qian Ziqiang and others climbed up one after another. Seeing that we were okay, their nervousness gradually relaxed.

I talked to Tang Hongying about what happened just now, and I saw two white-haired zombies parked not far away, like they had entered some kind of dormant state, and these people were all shocked like us.

Qian Ziqiang cautiously walked not far from the two white-haired zombies, sniffed his nose while observing, and said Have you found it, these two zombies do not have the rancid smell of ordinary zombies, but the smell of earth is very strong.

When he said this, the crowd gathered around, and I looked closely, and found that it was so.

These two zombies are short in stature, although they should have been men in their physical signs, but they are only about 1.6 meters tall. The clothes on their bodies were tattered, and they couldn't tell what style or material they were, like two tattered sacks.

Among them, the one that was photographed by the immovable Ming King was even more covered with rotten cloth strips, almost all snails. The other had an arm severed off by my strange sword, and the wound was quickly scabbed over and blackened.

Zombies, especially the primary hairy stiffs, are afraid of the sun, so they stay underground all year round, and the smell and decay on their bodies are often very serious. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the norm to carry maggots and corpses on the body.

But these two are very different and quite "clean".

Their skin had rotted, and their exposed black-red sinew was covered with a layer of fine, short, thick white hair, and there was no strong stench on their bodies, but a strong earthy smell.

A pair of long fangs in his mouth made people shudder, and he kept taking deep breaths, and a large stream of something like white mist erupted from his mouth, and his breath was long.

No matter how you look at it, it's true that these two zombies are hairy, but their speed, bounce and resistance are far higher than ordinary hairy zombies, and I don't know what kind of special breed they are cultivating.

The two zombies let all of us "watch", completely unresponsive, standing mechanically in place and shaking, as if they had been immobilized by Xiao Hei.

After all, it was zombies, and everyone was originally cautious, but seeing that they had no intention of attacking, everyone gradually relaxed.

Zhou Zhou Yue thought for a while, and said Let's not talk about what kind of breed these two guys are, zombies have to eat human flesh and brains to survive, isn't this Void Demon Tower thousands of years old? Where are the living people in normal times? How did they survive?

The male disciple of Nafutang was also very puzzled, and asked Qian Ziqiang, saying Senior Brother, there were thousands of zombie stumps in the 10,000 corpse pit just now, they were all living people when they were alive, where did so many living people come from?

Qian Ziqiang looked at us and asked if you came from nearby, are there any villages around this mountain?

I nodded and said yes, it is said to be called Saipan Village, which is a mixed village of many ethnic minorities, but what does this village have to do with zombies? Lingdu eBook

Tang Hongying hurriedly said that of course there is, there is an ancient custom in the mountainous areas of Xiangxi, that is, mountain burial.

The so-called mountain burial is to move the deceased into the mountain for burial, also known as "hanging coffin into the mountain". The zombies in this pit of 10,000 corpses are likely to be dead villagers.

The fat man didn't believe it, and said that there were at most 200 people in that village, and the thousands of zombie stumps in this pit could not be from the village.

Qian Ziqiang answered, saying Don't forget, this Void Demon Tower was built in the ancient Qin Dynasty, and it has a history of thousands of years, and how many people will die in these thousands of years, I'm afraid there are more than 10,000.

He pointed to the two mechanically swinging zombies in front of them.

"These two zombies are obviously a special breed that has produced mutations, and it is very likely that they have spawned some kind of evolution over a long period of time, and they live by sucking the leylines of this place, so there is no rancid ...... on their bodies."

Qian Ziqiang's words are also logical, no wonder these two zombies are so powerful although they are stiff, the yellow talisman in the body and the seal of the immovable Ming King and the amorous rosary can be immortal, if they really live for thousands of years, they feel terrifying when they think about it.

But for thousands of years, there is a virtual demon tower in the mountains behind Saipan Village, and the villagers are living around it, and there is also the custom of "hanging coffins in the mountains", so it is impossible to know nothing about the demon tower.

In addition, there are still people refining zombies in the tower, are these villagers all fools who let their ancestors be persecuted? That doesn't seem to make sense.

Qian Ziqiang shook his head and said You may not know that this "Saipan" is said to be the name of a strange bird in mythology in Miao dialect. This Saipan bird is the guardian deity of the mountains, and legend has it that it feeds on the spirits of the mountain gods.

And the food of the mountain god is the soul of man, forming a strange food chain from the bottom up. Although the Saipan bird is vicious, it is not without its benefits. It is said that there is a place guarded by the Saipan bird, and people can reach heaven after death.

The frontier people in the remote mountainous areas worship gods, and I know that as a modern person who usually lives in the city, I naturally cannot understand these strange and even absurd folklore.

But reminiscent of the fact that every household in Saipan Village worships the mountain god Grandpa, presumably this legend is not groundless.

In other words, the villagers of Saipan may have known about the existence of the Void Demon Tower for a long time, and it was a matter of their will for their ancestors to be refined into zombies. Worshipping the mountain god is also an appearance, and the ultimate goal is only for one's soul to reach heaven.

This approach can't help but make people think about it and be extremely scary.

Careful analysis, the Void Demon Tower and the villagers of Saipan Village are likely to be in a group, or have reached some kind of interest relationship, from this point of view, we are enemies of the villagers when we enter the tower.

There is also the group of red generals trapped in the Wang family's ancestral house who have become the living dead, they should be the people in the nearby village, who are familiar with this place but are trapped in the tunnel and die, is it that the soul detention circle is too powerful, or is there a villager secretly obstructing them?

It happened in the turbulent years decades ago, and no one knows what the truth is, and there seems to be no need to pursue it.

But does the strange bird called Saipan and the legend of heaven really exist? What does it have to do with the Qin Shiqi people who built this Void Demon Tower?

Everything was like a mystery, and needless to say it was us, not even the people of Nafudo could guess it.
