After the decline of a people, their historical origins are far more important than their own.

It's like sewing a thousand corpses, they come from other worlds, as for what kind of world it is, how did they come here, and how do they go back? Only a very small number of people in this group know about it, while most of the others think they belong to this world in the first place.

They can only intermarry in small areas, maintaining the purity of blood, and only those of this bloodline can finally become what they consider immortal, gain eternal life, and embark on the journey home with their expectations.

And they keep it a secret from their own people to ensure that this secret will not be known to the outside world.

But the corpses also know very well that eternal life is sad, because you live forever, and everything around you is gradually disappearing or being replaced, and you can't keep them no matter what you do, this feeling is too cruel.

Generation after generation of research, they failed, and finally they found some mysterious method of the aborigines of Xiangxi, if the fusion of that method, maybe the goal can be achieved, so, the sewing thousand corpses all migrated to the jungle of Xiangxi, and finally obtained the method of immortality there, creating the three soul boxes and the seven spirit galls.

Wei Chiran was surprised when he heard this: "You mean, the Thousand Corpses Clan created immortality very early?" ”

Shan Zhenping nodded and said, "If it is not created, how can there be three soul boxes and seven spirit galls?" However, even if it was created, no one was found who could carry all this, and I would like to explain that the three souls refer to the fetal light, the refreshing spirit, and the ghostly spirit, while the seven spirits refer to the corpse dog, the arrow, the finch, the thief, the non-poisonous, the defilement, and the nose and lungs. ”

Among the three souls, the fetal light is its core, just like the CUP of the computer; Shuang Ling represents intelligence; The ghost represents the reproductive capacity of the male.

Among the seven spirits, the corpse dog represents human fear, that is, alertness, if a person loses the ability to fear, he also loses the most basic vigilance; Fuya refers to human consciousness; The finch yin represents the reproductive capacity of the female; Swallowing thieves represents health, which in modern terms is immunity; Non-toxic represents all diseases; Removal of filth represents metabolism; As the name suggests, nasal lungs refer to breathing.

In the study of sewing a thousand corpses, it is believed that people must sublimate the three souls and seven spirits to a certain extent in order to become truly immortal, but to become completely immortal, only a very small number of people, or even only one person.

In other words, to be immortal is to basically belong to a hermaphroditic superman.

After the ancient sewing thousand corpses created the Three Soul Boxes and the Seven Spirits, at this time, because of their experiments on the human body, they were questioned by other people in the rivers and lakes, thinking that they were evil, so they decided to eradicate them.

Outnumbered, the Ancient Corpses were quickly defeated, and the Seven Spirits were lost in this incident, and most of the Ancient Corpses were forced to flee and go to the Menggong Mansion to start over.

When Shan Zhenping said this, he looked at Wei Chiran's eyes and said: "Here, there are two very important details, first, the Three Soul Box fell into the hands of the Sima family, and the Sima family originated from another sect, that is, the lonely army. ”

What the!? The Sima family originated from a lone army? Wei Chi was confused again, what does this mean?

Shan Zhenping said again: "Based on the first point, it can be inferred that it was actually a lone army that coveted the Three Soul Boxes and the Seven Soul Galls, so they instigated other sects to attack the ancient Soul Thousand Corpse Clan, and selected their own people to replace the Thousand Corpses Sect, inherited the Three Soul Boxes, and continued to search for the lost Seven Soul Galls." ”

Wei Chiran just shook his head slightly, he was really confused, what did the lone soldier want to do?

The lone army did not stop because of this, because they thought that the Seven Spirits were hidden by a small group of Quilted Thousand Corpses, and this group of people did not flee to the Menggong Mansion, so on the one hand, they sent people to monitor the Broken Thousand Corpses there in the Menggong Mansion, and on the other hand, they searched all over the world for the small part of the Quilted Thousand Corpses that held the core secret, and this group of people was called pure blood, that is, the purest bloodline of the Quilted Thousand Corpses.

But no matter how these pure bloods escape, they will eventually be found, after all, the lone army is everywhere, at this time, they can only take a risk and do something that they themselves find terrifying, that is, to integrate themselves into the Lonely Army and the Sewing Thousand Corpses faction inherited by the Sima family.

But it is almost impossible to integrate into the lone army, because the review of the lone army is too strict, and they can only integrate into the Sima family, and the Sima family has also determined the hereditary system since the time of inheritance in order to ensure that they are not infiltrated.

Shan Zhenping said: "At that time, there were a total of fifty pure-blooded people, these fifty people, acting separately, although most of them died in the action, but there were still survivors who integrated into the Sima family's Sewing Thousand Corpses clan, and there were ten people who survived in the end, these ten pure-bloods, although they did not become the core members of the new Sewing Thousand Corpses, but they hid their identities because of this, and my master Leng Rui was one of them. ”

Leng Rui's task is to find the lost Seven Courages, and the Sima family at that time has decided to part ways with the lonely army, no longer acknowledging the relationship between them and the lonely army, and the lonely army of course cannot claim to the outside world that the Sima family belongs to them, which undoubtedly tells the world that the war they launched against the ancient sewing thousand corpses faction was out of selfish interests, not the so-called justice.

Therefore, at that time, there were three groups of people looking for the Seven Courages, the Lone Army, the Sima Family, and the Ancient Sewing Thousand Corpses, that is, Leng Rui and others.

But because the lone army is a detailed organization, they can infiltrate any organization, even the government at that time, it is far easier to find the seven spirits than others, so, in the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, they successfully found the seven spirits, and finally the seven spirits were swallowed by a child, and the child became the first generation of immortals with clear records at that time, his name was Guan Kang'an.

(For details of this past incident, please refer to the fourth part of "The Imperial Pen Chenghuang" in the fifth part of "Different Tombs")

The lone army hid Guan Kang'an, and continued to do all kinds of experiments on him, the purpose was to find out if he was really immortal, in order to hide Guan Kang'an, the people they sent to Guan Kang'an appeared as the earth phase.

However, in order to break away from the organization, the spy who guarded Guan Kangan in the lone army decided to cooperate with Guan Kangan, and arrived in Yongcheng, where the warlords were fighting at that time, and got acquainted with Tang Anshu and An Wanghai, who could help.

Leng Rui also used the identity of another geographer to go to Yongcheng at that time, and mixed in with the revolutionary army, waiting for an opportunity to take Guan Kangan away, and eradicated all those who knew about Guan Kangan's existence.

Shan Zhenping sighed: "It was the darkest period, my master used the political purges and military operations of that period to achieve his own goals, and finally betrayed the few earth ministers who were forced to help him, but I mention one thing here, at that time, we also learned that in addition to looking for the seven courages, the lone army was also looking for the treasure of the earth phase, and the tomb was already obtained by Tang Anshu and others, but that thing has nothing to do with us, so I didn't care." ”

In the end, Shan Zhenping's master Leng Rui used a series of means to take away Guan Kangan, although he succeeded, but he also died in the plan, and when he was dying, he handed Guan Kangan to his apprentice Shan Zhenping, let him escape with Guan Kangan, and gave him the address of Meng Gen's mansion.

Leng Rui repeatedly warned Shan Zhenping that now was not the best time to go to Menggen's Mansion, and he must wait until one day when the lone army would find them again.

Wei Chi heard it strangely and asked, "Why wait until the lone soldier finds you again?" ”

Shan Zhenping explained: "Lone Jun knows about Meng Gen Mansion, but he doesn't know the identity of my master, after all, I am an exception, I am not a pure blood, I am just an apprentice he accepted on an exception, so that I can hide people's eyes." But even so, the lone army would set up an ambush on the way to Mongun's mansion, and at that time I took Guan Kangan there, which was tantamount to throwing myself into a net, so I could only wait for the opportunity. ”

Feng Rui wondered: "Since the lone army knows about Menggen's Mansion, then they will still set up an ambush there, isn't it the same to go early and late?" ”

"It's different." Shan Zhenping shook his head and said, "When they sent you to me, I noticed it, but I still pretended not to know, and I passed a few years peacefully, after all, I was in the military camp at that time, and it was an expeditionary force, and the lone army couldn't infiltrate too many people, until Guan Kangan fell ill later, I had to leave with him and go to Menggen's mansion, on the way, you have been leaving a mark, I know very well, I am waiting for this time." ”

Feng Rui shook his head slowly: "I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

Wei Chiran took over and said, "What Senior Shan means is that dealing with one person is far easier than dealing with a group of people. ”

Shan Zhenping said: "That's right, that's what it means, in order not to be detected by me, Lone Army naturally won't send too many people to stare at me, because it is enough for you to stay by my side as eyes and ears, so I only need to cut off your contact with them, so I can not be tracked by them, so, at that time, I have been pretending not to know what a dumb village and crying village are, I know very well that as long as I cut off your contact with the lonely army, arrive at the dumb village safely, and explain my identity, then the lonely army will no longer have any way, After all, the Dumb Village will not accept any outsiders, that is to say, since the ancient Sewing Thousand Corpses migrated to the Menggong Mansion, the lone army has not had any chance to infiltrate it. ”

Just like no matter how clever an espionage organization is, it can't infiltrate a primitive tribe.

But what Shan Zhenping didn't expect was that Guan Kangan was really going to die, so he could only look for the grave according to the method that Leng Rui had left before.

The lieutenant was puzzled and asked, "Why are you looking for a grave?" ”

Shan Zhenping said: "In fact, it is just a trick, Guan Kangan is an imperfect immortal, but we have no conditions to know what his imperfection means, so when Guan Kangan's body reaches the limit of the seven courages, it will collapse, and the way to alleviate the collapse is to let him sleep temporarily, and the sleeping place must meet three conditions......"

In fact, the purpose of letting the imperfect immortal fall asleep was so that his body could temporarily alleviate the damage caused to him by the Seven Spirits under a specific environment. Therefore, it must be in a place where sunlight cannot shine, and the temperature and humidity are suitable, and to meet these three conditions, it can only be a coffin in the grave, and it must be a rotten coffin in the old tomb.
