Chapter 67: The Corpse Town at Night
Uncle Chen's eyes were fixed on the Doom Curse in my hand, and after a short silence, he suddenly asked, "Did Miao Immortal Gu tell you about your grandfather?" Or rather, the origin of this thing? ”
I nodded, I had only heard my grandmother talk about the grandfather and the origin of the curse not long ago. The curse of the source of doom comes from Yeling, and Yeling is a node forbidden land, could it be that the curse on my body is not only related to Yeling, but also related to other node forbidden places?
Uncle Chen let go of my hand and told us about another incident in the past, which was a big event that involved the grandfather and caused a storm in the entire Shenzhou Xuanmen.
More than a hundred years ago, after the war between Wudao and the Nine Lotus Cult came to an end, the second disaster of resentment caused by the destruction of the Nine Lotus Cult had not yet ended. Although the two most terrible evil leaders of this disaster have been eradicated, the number of undead who have spread to almost half of Shenzhou will not be able to solve it in a while. The second disaster lasted for five years, and was finally put to rest after both sides paid a terrible price.
After the disaster, man-made disasters continued, wars broke out in troubled times, warlords were divided, and it was difficult to survive. The Xuanmen, which was greatly injured, hibernated, closed the mountain, closed the door, and recuperated for more than six years. The power of the new generation gradually grew, and it was thought that the revival of the Xuanmen was promising, but at this time, a person who had made a name for himself in the rebellion of the Nine Lotus God Sect appeared, and the appearance of this person became the last straw for the decline of the Witch Dao.
This person is my grandfather: Zhang Tianxing.
In Uncle Chen's account, the Taiye originally disappeared after the second disaster of resentment subsided, and several other masters who also made a name for themselves in the Nine Lotus Divine Cult Rebellion were also missing. Based on my previous master's experience, I found that what Uncle Chen said was basically the same as what my grandmother told me about my grandfather's experience back then, after the second disaster of resentment, the grandfather entered the Ghost Ridge, which is now Yeling, and when he came out, it was exactly six years later, which coincided with what Uncle Chen said.
The appearance of the master was a happy event, because he was originally in the Daomen camp, and his appearance also increased hope for the revival of the Daomen. However, what is puzzling is that after returning to the Central Plains, the master visited several Taoist sects with a long tradition that had been closed at that time. Every time he went to a house, when he came out, a large number of people followed him and left, only to learn later that those were all masters of the sect, so after half a year, he organized a group of masters who were not inferior to the Nine Lotus Divine Sect during the rebellion.
This group of people finally returned to Miaojiang with the grandfather, and they have never appeared again.
This is undoubtedly a devastating blow to the Shenzhou Daomen, almost all the masters of the various sects and factions have disappeared, and many once prosperous sects have collapsed because of this, coupled with the biggest disaster in Shenzhou in the past thousand years, these sects have perished.
When this kind of thing happened, it was naturally impossible for these sects that had lost their pillars to ignore it, and they pointed the finger at the grandmother one after another, and they made a group of troubles, but they were stopped by a mysterious young man.
According to records, the young man took away all the sect leaders who were in distress at the time and had a secret meeting with them. After the meeting, these troubled sects withdrew one after another, and the matter was never mentioned again, and that meeting was also recorded by the Daozang, which was called the 'Forbidden Abyss Secret Talk'.
That meeting became a turning point in the weakening of the Shenzhou Xuanmen, and it is said that the secret conversation involved an ultimate secret related to the survival of the entire world, so its content was only known to the heads of the major sects involved at that time, and even if the heads of the sects who attended the meeting at that time feathered, the content of the secret talks could only be passed on to the successors.
Zhengqianmen is a large sect, and he also participated in the secret conversation of the forbidden abyss at that time, so the content of the secret conversation has been handed down, but Chen Bo is not the head of the sect and has no right to know this secret, but he knows some secrets of the secret conversation of the forbidden abyss. It is said that before the secret talk, in order to solve the hatred of the major sects against the master, the young man first took them to a place called Ghost Ridge, and those who knew some secrets should know that it was a node forbidden place.
At that time, the grandmother was already pregnant with her grandfather, and the young man revealed the news that the unborn grandfather had a source of misfortune, so the hatred was dispersed by righteousness, and these sects calmed down their anger. No one knew what the source of doom on Grandpa's body represented, and it wasn't until the outbreak of the third disaster of resentment that the content of the secret conversation of the forbidden abyss spread out some of the content: except for the guidance of the source of doom, no one could find the forbidden node.
That's why Uncle Chen, after knowing my identity, immediately affirmed that the ancient town was a node forbidden place.
After listening to Uncle Chen's narration, I took a deep breath, my heart was mixed, and Luo Yi, who had been listening quietly, had opened his mouth to swallow a duck egg, and even the doctor had a look of doubt on his face, obviously he couldn't believe such an outrageous thing. But I believed it a little, because there are many things that are consistent with what Uncle Chen said and what my grandmother told me, this can't be a coincidence, the only possibility is that what Uncle Chen said is true.
I glanced at Uncle Chen and saw that the other party was staring at me with bright eyes, like a mad scientist seeing a mutated guinea pig. I couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked, "So what do we do now?" ”
"What to do? Of course, it is to find the location of the node, and then bring the news out, this kind of place must be sealed, otherwise if it is used by the Heavenly Witch Sect, the consequences will be unimaginable. Uncle Chen said without thinking.
Looking at his righteous face, I shook my head helplessly, and said in my heart that this old man really doesn't know how to look at the situation! Not to mention whether we can find the so-called node, and even if we do, how are we going to get out? Now that the entire ancient town has been blocked by a mysterious force, it is not easy to get out. Besides, since the guy who is hiding behind the scenes and is leading all this here, it is unlikely that he is letting us leave alive, no matter how you look at it, the current situation is not optimistic, he is good, and he is still thinking about finding a node.
"What Uncle Chen said is not a feasible solution!"
To my surprise, the doctor actually agreed with Uncle Chen's words, and I cast a puzzled look at him, and he waved his hand at me, meaning to listen to him. I suppressed the doubts in my heart, and listened to him ask rhetorically, "Do you remember the five warnings that Sister Yang gave her at the same time?" ”
I nodded, said yes, and asked him what was wrong? The doctor continued: "Of the five warnings, aren't those five warnings already giving a way to leave the ancient town?" ”
I rolled my eyes and said what's the use of this, Yin and Yang Eyes, who knows what it will be? The doctor suddenly laughed, saying that if he had heard Uncle Chen describe this, he might not have a clue, but now, he had a clue. I couldn't help but be stunned and hurriedly asked.
The doctor didn't sell it, and once again mentioned the node that Uncle Chen said he was looking for. I suddenly said yes, the eye of yin and yang, this name is a very special place as soon as it sounds, if the ancient town is really a node forbidden place, then the whole most special place is very likely to be the node location of the forbidden land! When it comes to the special location of the ancient town, there must be only that one place.
"Tulou!"
The doctor and I said these two words in unison, looking at each other and smiling. Uncle Chen on the side frowned, his face was full of doubts, I remembered that when Sister Yang woke up and talked to us about the company and the five warnings, it inevitably disturbed Uncle Chen's rest, and we were talking far away from the bed, so although Uncle Chen was pretending to be asleep at the time, he didn't hear these contents.
I briefly told Uncle Chen what Sister Yang said, and after listening to it, his brows furrowed even deeper. I felt strange and asked him if there was anything wrong, but Uncle Chen shook his head and said that he had seen the word Yin and Yang Jiaotai in a feng shui book today.
Hearing him say this, the doctor and I were excited, and just wanted to ask him if he could find that location, but he shook his head and sighed that the book only recorded the magic of the eye of yin and yang, and did not specify how to find it, and this kind of feng shui eye is very against the sky, just a theoretical hole eye, a place of burial, it stands to reason that it cannot exist at all.
Seeing that the doctor and I had incomprehensible expressions on our faces, Uncle Chen was not hypocritical, and roughly explained to us what is called the eye of yin and yang.
The so-called Yin and Yang Jiaotai refers to the blending of Yin and Yang to form a balanced state, just like everything in the world, there is a positive side, there is a negative side, there is a good side, there is a bad side, always opposing each other but maintaining balance. However, this balance is also based on opposites, just as day and night cannot really be blended.
The eye of yin and yang is a special feng shui eye that has been derived, which changes all the natural rules, birth, old age, sickness and death, day and night, and even the past and future. In short, it is in the eyes of this feng shui that you are not necessarily really alive when you are alive, and you are not necessarily really dead when you die, even the past, present and future are chaotic.
Uncle Chen's explanation made me feel stunned, and I said in my heart that this is too, if there really is such a place in the world, wouldn't that person living in it never die, no, living is also dead, dead is also alive, so is it dead or alive...... Holy, what a mess.
The more I thought about it, the more dizzy I felt, so I just didn't dwell on the problem anymore, anyway, we have now locked on the most likely target, and we'll see what happened when we got to see after dawn.
I was thinking about it, but I heard a knock on the door downstairs of the inn, we were all stunned, although it was already seven o'clock in the morning, but the sky outside the window was still as dark as ink, who would knock on the door at this time?
Could it be that the shopkeeper has returned?
The doctor just wanted to look through the window, but before he could walk to the window, a scream suddenly came from Boss Li's room on the side, and listening to the voice, it turned out to be Ling Rou.
At this time, the doctor didn't care to look out the window, opened the door and rushed out, and we followed to Boss Li's room.
The doctor and I were in ambush in this room Xia He, after the accident, because the injury on the driver's back was serious and it was not suitable to move, so Wang Xi and they directly carried the driver to the bed where Uncle Chen was lying before.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I immediately smelled a pungent smell of blood, and my heart sank, and after entering the room, I found that Ling Rou was shrinking in the doctor's arms, shivering, and her face was as pale as paper. In addition to her, there were also Sister Yang, Wang Xi, Dong Qian and the driver who was unconscious on the bed in the house. Their faces were all pale, and their eyes were staring at the open window, their eyes filled with unspeakable horror.
There was a large pool of half-dried blood on the ground, which looked very hideous, and it was from this that I smelled blood. Except for the driver, no one in the room was injured, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that this blood stain was left by the previous driver, but what is the expression on their faces?
Looking at the open window, my brow jumped, and my heart said no, right? Could it be that Xia He is back again?
Uncle Chen looked at the window, his face suddenly became solemn, and he walked to the window. I couldn't see his expression, but the knock on the door downstairs suddenly became very dense, and it didn't look like the shopkeeper could make it alone.
At this time, Wang Xi also reflected from his fright, pointed to the window and stammered: "Stiff... Stiff... Zombies, down, below...... Yes, there are zombie ......"
Hearing this, the faces of me and the doctor changed at the same time, and we hurriedly came to the window, stretched out our heads to look, and suddenly our scalps were numb.
I saw that the street below the inn was densely packed with human figures, their faces were blue and black, the corners of their mouths were blue and black teeth, their movements were stiff, they jumped and jumped, and their nails were even more black and long, and they were all zombies!
I took a breath of cold air when I saw this scene, the crowd of corpses on the street and there was no end in sight, this number definitely far exceeded the number of zombies driven by the old man who drove the corpses before, damn look at this scale, I'm afraid everyone in the entire ancient town has become zombies!
At this time, these zombies were all gathered downstairs, jumping and trying to jump into the inn, but they were blocked by the door panel of the inn, which is the source of the knocking sound we heard earlier.
Looking at the tide of corpses below, Uncle Chen's face was also ugly, at this moment I was very anxious, the inn was wooden, with the strength of zombies, it was easy to tear down the wooden door, not to mention that there were so many zombies, even if it was not difficult to level the entire inn! Damn, how is this good?
I looked at Uncle Chen and asked him what to do now? Uncle Chen was also a big one or two at this time, and he couldn't figure out where such a zombie came from, but after all, he was a person from the Daomen, so he quickly calmed down, turned his head and glanced at the pool of blood left by the driver in the room, his face changed, and he shouted: "Quick, quickly wipe off the blood stains on the ground." ”
