Chapter 396: Meet the Old Man Again
Seeing that the two buddies were confused, I simply didn't think about it so much, and after the doors next to them were opened by unknown things, the three of us slowly opened the door, but as soon as the door was opened, we saw a person standing in front of us, I was startled, and looked up along his clothes, but this look, I was startled again, I saw an old man in ancient costume standing at the door, he was also carrying a bamboo tube and a gong and a wooden stick in his hand, and this face, the three of us are familiar with it, This is exactly the old man I met in the black bamboo forest before!
I looked at him in amazement, but he pulled us back into the room, closed the door with his backhand, and I was ready to defend myself against him and asked, "Why are you here?" Last time the black bamboo forest was also you"?
The old man didn't speak, but put all the guys who were eating on the table on the side, and then he sat down by the fire and said: "Since the last time the black bamboo forest was full of moon, and now we meet again in the Yingou Mountain, should we say that we are fate, or coincidence."
Hearing what the old man said, I slowly leaned over and asked tentatively, "Senior, you saved us last time in the Black Bamboo Forest, right?"
The old man smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and put it on the fire and said, "Yes or no, why should you care."
I was stunned and asked, "What do you mean by this?" The junior is just out of doubt, after all, the last time in the black bamboo forest, as soon as you appeared, those messy things disappeared."
The old man slowly turned his head to look at me and said with a smile: "Then according to what you say, I also belong to the mess, and to correct it, I don't dare to take the title of predecessor casually, after all, the reincarnation of the emperor is so brilliant."
Hearing this, I was stunned for two seconds and sat directly opposite him and asked, "Where do you start with this, do you know the emperor?" ”
"I don't know that this old boy came to my underworld as a guest, because a ghost general almost uprooted my underworld, but fortunately I came back in time, otherwise the pattern of the underworld would be huge now."
The three of us were a little puzzled by what the old man said, but I continued to ask, "Your underworld?" Are you "?
At the end, I used a surprised tone, in fact, I don't know who he is, but I think this person may be a big man, sure enough, this old man was caught by my surprised tone, only to see the old man waved his hand, and quickly said: "No, you think too much, I'm just a small errand in the underworld."
Seeing the old man's reaction so much, I opened my mouth again and asked, "Is it bad?"
The old man shook his head and said: "Our profession is to walk at the junction of the underworld and the yang, which is commonly known as walking in the yin, but we are considered people from the underworld, not living people in the yang, generally we are responsible for bringing spirits or yin things back to the underworld to report, so that they don't stay too much in the yang, so the strange incident you encountered in the black bamboo forest last time was caused by the spirits, and now the group of spirits downstairs is my goal."
The old man said the purpose of coming, and I looked at him in surprise and said, "Isn't that just to protect the yang world from being harassed by the powerful ghosts and ghosts, but then again, you are also for those ghosts."
The old man smiled slightly and said: "It depends on whether they listen or not, there have been spirits here more than once before, but unfortunately, the Yin corpse qi here is too heavy to break the roots."
When the two buddies heard this, Li Muyang seemed to think of something, and hurriedly walked up and said, "Are you saying that the geographical location here is not good"?
The old man nodded and said, "You should all have heard of the corpse ground, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, we all nodded in surprise, and then the old man said: "And this is a place to raise corpses, but the place to raise corpses here is different from the places where corpses are raised, because this place not only raises corpses, but also nourishes souls."
I was stunned for a moment and asked, "Soul nourishment?" How do you say that"?
As he spoke, Lao Dai took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and was about to hand one to the old man, but the old man waved his hand and said, "This thing is suitable for you humans, but not for us, so let's have this."
After speaking, the old man grabbed it casually, and a piece of incense appeared out of thin air, and we all looked at him in surprise, but he calmly put the incense head into the fire, and in an instant, a faint fragrance floated out, the old man took a deep breath, showed a satisfied expression and said: "The so-called soul nourishment refers to forcibly pressing the soul of a dead person into his body, preventing it from leaving the main body and returning to the underworld, did you hear it just now?" In fact, it was only the soul that couldn't leave the body that made a cry, because their bodies became zombies, and they were born from the resentment of heaven and earth, unlucky, immortal, immortal, and abandoned by the three worlds of heaven, earth and man outside the six realms of sentient beings, plus the role of the corpse raising ground and the spirit soul, they can accelerate the formation, so the corpse tortures the soul, and the funeral and coffin you see are just an illusion, and the bizarre events in the Yingou Mountain are no less than the black bamboo forest, and this village is only one of them."
After the old man finished speaking, I had already sketched a picture in my mind, and after a few seconds, Lao Dai asked again: "In that case, the group below is actually zombies, but there are spirits in the body, so they will be like spirits."
The old man nodded slowly, shook the incense on his nose and said, "So I'm here to take the soul away, and this is also to complete the wishes of the native mother, but it's okay."
Speaking of this, the old man slowly put down the incense, looked at the three of us and said: "Once this soul is withdrawn from the body, the corpse will be furious, so I need you to help me get rid of the corpse, don't ask why, if there is no reason, I will not let you do it."
The second half of the old man's sentence directly made the question we wanted to ask disappear, but a name I had just heard had been entangled in my heart, and the old man saw that we didn't speak, and asked again in confusion: "Don't you disagree, right?" If this corpse escapes, the consequences are unimaginable."
I shook my head and said, "No, we agree, but you just said a name, Hou Tu Niang?" Do you know Hou Tu Niang"?
The old man was reminded by me, and he realized it later, his eyes suddenly drifted a little, but he still tried his best to calm down, and said instead: "The earth, the people of the underworld know the Hou Tu Niangniang."
The old man said this in a hurry, and I was successfully led astray, I finally slowly let go of my doubts and said, "Okay, when are you going to do it, what are these corpses here for?"
"The purpose of this group of corpses is very simple, that is, because this is the center of the corpse breeding ground, and there are many corpses, so they will naturally come here." The old man explained.
But as soon as he finished explaining, I was puzzled again, because if this is the center of the corpse raising place, aren't the two zombies we killed just now also very powerful, but just now, before we used any force, those two zombies were easily destroyed, the only difference is that Li Muyang has just been cold by the corpse.
When the old man saw my brows furrowed, he asked puzzledly, "Emperor, what's wrong with you?"
I was stunned, and the old man was stunned and said, "No, I'm asking what you're thinking, the one in front of you ignore, ignore ha."
This old man is also very funny, always makes people feel that people are not old, I thought for a moment before I said to him: "I was thinking, if this is the center of raising corpses, then the two zombies we killed just now are not very powerful masters, but we destroyed them very easily."
The old man was stunned for a moment and said: "Hey, you don't have to think about it so much, anyway, you can help me collect the body later, and I will be responsible for detaining the soul."
"Hey, no, old man, I suddenly remembered something, how did you get in just now, didn't the group of corpses below find you?"
Li Muyang suddenly asked.
The old man looked at Li Muyang and was stunned again and said: "I have thousands of ways to get in, you kid don't care, and besides, has the teacher taught me the word respect for the old and love for the young?" You have to call me a senior."
Li Muyang pointed to himself and asked, "What did you say?" Didn't you just say that you couldn't afford to be called a senior?"
"I mean him, except for you two boys." The old man pointed at me, and then continued: "Alright, the hour is not too early, it's time to get down to business."
