Chapter 70: The Wolf-Faced Man
The mute turtle was not angry, and said slowly: "Where did that compass on your body come from?" It's protecting you. ”
When the loach heard this, he stopped doing it, and shouted: "I said master, you are really not authentic, you fat master and I have been to the Yama Palace Gate a few times this time, and you actually brought good things and didn't tell your fat brother, what a waste of my loyalty!" As he spoke, he really twisted his head to the side, not bothering Chu Tianlu.
Chu Tianlu was also confused at first, and it was only when the dumb turtle said the compass that he suddenly said: "That one was collected by me in the ghost market, and I knew that it was an old object, but I didn't know that it had other functions, and I almost fell on the Tao just now!" Tell me what this thing is and what it does!! ”
Chu Tianlu remembered that when he was outside, the compass turned around after passing through the dumb turtle's hand, and he was sure that he must know the origin and usage of this compass, so he hurriedly asked.
Seeing Chu Tianlu's appearance, the dumb turtle didn't look like pretending to be garlic, and after thinking about it, he said: "I only know that this compass is called the Heavenly Dog Demon Soul Fixing Plate, and this compass has a great origin.
Legend has it that in ancient times, wars and wars continued to kill, resulting in corpses all over the field, and no one to deal with the people killed on the battlefield, which attracted groups of wild wolves to feed on carrion corpses.
Wolves are social animals and are naturally highly intelligent, and in every pack there will be a large wolf king.
The wolf king can fight lions and tigers, and it also eats carrion corpses, but this wolf king picks the earlobes of the dead, according to legend, after the death of the dead, all the grievances will be concentrated on the earlobes of both ears.
Over time, this wolf king also absorbed a lot of grievances and finally petrified because the resentment was too heavy, after countless years of weathering, the appearance of the wolf king's petrification gradually disappeared, leaving only a finger-sized wolf-shaped appearance, and the wolf king's absorption of those grievances are also gathered on this wolf-shaped stone, this stone can close the yang qi, defeat evil with evil, overcome poison with poison, and can also prevent corpse transformation.
This petrified wolf king is made into a pointer on the compass, and when it encounters an evil thing, it will automatically turn up. After that, the mute turtle stopped talking again.
At this time, Chu Tianlu realized that outside, those people were confused by evil things but they were still awake, and the zombie in the tomb saw that he did not act immediately, it turned out that the stone had put away his yang energy, causing Zongzi to think that he was the same kind.
"Master, I said it!! I looked at that zongzi before and seemed to have a good impression of you, so it turned out that I really got it right. Take it to me to see, what kind of plate it is, so powerful, wait for the day to get one for your fat brother, with this thing around, isn't it like going home to any tomb!! Listening to what the dumb turtle said so magically, the loach's curiosity was aroused, and he forgot that he was pretending to be angry just now.
Chu Tianlu took out the compass, handed it over, and asked what happened to him just now: "Since this thing can ward off evil spirits, I almost fell into the Tao just now, why is this?" Thinking of just now, Chu Tianlu still had palpitations.
"Although this compass can ward off evil spirits, it is not omnipotent, so you have to be careful in the future, especially before you have mastered its use, why did you fall into the path of this female corpse just now, it may have something to do with the thing buried below." As he spoke, the mute turtle looked at the short lance he had stuck in the ground.
Chu Tianlu followed the direction he was looking and saw that his short lance was still on the ground at the moment, but around it, the ground had been dyed with a black substance, and he didn't know what those black substances were.
At this time, Chu Tianlu thought of the strange tree with a human face on it again, and told everything he knew, and the back of the loach that listened to it was cold for a while, just now he said that he went to the ghost gate and walked a few times, and now it seems that it is true.
The dumb turtle was particularly surprised by Chu Tianlu knowing this, and couldn't help but look at him twice and continued: "What you said is only partial, in fact, this tree has a relationship with your compass. ”
"There is also a body with a wolf's head buried under this stone bed, which is called the wolf-faced god. As you said before, it's made from forbidden arts. Speaking of this, the dumb turtle stopped talking, and Chu Tianlu, who listened, only itched in his heart, but he understood that even if the dumb turtle didn't want to say anything, even if he asked again, he couldn't ask anything.
"Ahem......" Qiu Yu has obviously improved a lot after this short rest, which should be thanks to the pill of the dumb turtle, otherwise, with her as a weak woman, it is impossible to recover so quickly.
Just when Chu Tianlu turned his head to look at her, Qiu Yu also happened to look at him, and after showing a grateful smile on his face, he continued to say in the words of the dumb turtle: "I have also heard my father say this legend of the wolf-faced human body, according to legend, a long time ago, a group of heroes in the jurisdiction of the Western Regions protruded, each according to one side, and all tribes had the desire to compete for ambition, which led to continuous conquests, and people were like mustards.
One of the smaller tribes was killed overnight, leaving only a teenage boy when a soldier found a boy, cut off his feet, threw him into the grass, and left himself to fend for himself.
Just as the boy was dying, a she-wolf rescued the boy and raised him, and gave him a she-wolf and became pregnant. Later, the exterminators of his race found out about it, found their hiding place, and killed the boy, but the she-wolf escaped, and then gave birth to ten baby boys, nine of whom were like normal people, but one of them was a wolf-faced person.
It is said that this wolf-faced man was born with a yin body, warlike, and able to lead the wolf pack, and when he grew up, he and several other brothers led the wolves to kill the countries of the Western Regions, and they all surrendered, and established a kingdom in the Western Regions. ”
The deeds of the wolf-faced man also spread throughout the Western Regions, because there were not many people who had really seen him, and everyone was in awe of this king who could lead the wolf pack and unify all the tribes in the Western Regions, and mythologized him as a god, so gradually the title of the wolf-faced god spread.
At first, his deeds were sung as myths, but after all, he was the product of human-wolf peace, and there was a certain difference between human beings, after his iron-fisted rule, his wildness gradually came to the fore, the ferocity and tyranny of the wolf-faced god in his bones, coupled with some people's greed for power, intentional instigation, so that his rule deviated from the scope acceptable to the people of the Western Regions from the beginning, and there were complaints for a while, and some obedient tribes finally couldn't stand his wildness and began to plan secretly.
It was also at this time that a strange person from southern Xinjiang came to the Western Regions, who was proficient in all kinds of strange arts, especially had profound attainments in Miao Jiang's Gu arts.
