Chapter 155: The Origin of the Grass Ghost Clan
I haven't seen this witch doctor since the last incident with the dead corpse in Lingtou Village. I originally thought that he had found a new place to hide and then went into seclusion, but I didn't expect him to stay in Xiangxi all the time.
I asked, "What about others?" ”
"After saving us, he left." Zhang Lingxue said.
This witch doctor reveals this mystery everywhere, and he is inextricably linked to Zhang Lingxue and the grass ghost clan. But he also came to our aid in times of crisis. The next time I see him, I must ask him about his relationship with the Grass Ghost Clan and Zhang Lingxue.
"By the way, where's the corpse boy?" I asked.
"The corpse boy ran away." Zhang Lingxue said with some loss, "But fortunately, it was not caught by the people of the grass ghost clan." ”
"It's okay, as long as it's not caught by the grass ghosts, then I can get it back." I also feel a little lost, and I missed the best time to reclaim Tongtong's main soul, but I still have Tongtong's hair on my hands, and I can still use soul searching to find it.
"Also, is Xiaoxue okay?"
"She had been pierced into the skin with a dagger, but not deeply. After taking the medicine, it will be fine. Why, you seem to care about her. Zhang Lingxue said, a slight chill appeared in her eyes.
I swallowed my saliva and smiled bitterly, "How is it possible, I've only known her for a long time." ”
"Isn't there a saying called love at first sight?" She chuckled softly, her smile tingling with murderous intent.
I smiled awkwardly and tried to remove the topic from Xiaoxue, but suddenly I couldn't think of anything else to talk about, and the atmosphere in the room fell silent for a moment.
We were silent for a while, but Zhang Lingxue spoke first to break the silence. "Seeing that you are so nervous, it doesn't matter if you care about her and me." She smiled, "I'm just teasing you, you're nervous like this." ”
"Cut!" I snorted, but there was still a faint sense of loss in my heart. I lay in my room until noon, feeling like I was almost recovering my strength. So I got out of bed to take a look, and Zhang Lingxue told me that the room where Xiaoxue was resting was opposite me. I walked to the door and knocked lightly to open the door and enter. As soon as the door opened, what I saw was not Xiaoxue, but Zhang Lingxue.
"I knew you were coming, come in." She stepped back and said, and I nodded in agreement. But I felt that there was something malicious in her tone. I didn't dare to stay with her for long, so I walked quickly around her and into the back room.
I didn't expect the big guys to be here. Xiaoxue also woke up, with a veil still hanging on her face, revealing only a pair of big gray eyes, giving people a sense of mystery.
"Tell me quickly, what the hell is there to find the corpse child!" Lu Yuan bared his teeth and pretended to be a villain. It's really scary for him to look like this, but Xiaoxue doesn't seem to buy it and ignores him.
"Eh, you!" As he spoke, he was about to stretch out his hand to lift her veil, Xiao Xue snorted coldly: "The patriarch of the grass ghost clan can only be killed, you can kill me!" ”
Seeing that Xiaoxue was soft and hard and didn't eat, Lu Yuan completely lost his temper. He got up with his head drooping. I stepped forward, and Lu Yuan smiled bitterly: "I asked her all morning, whether it was the matter of the grass ghost clan or the matter of the corpse child, she refused to say. ”
I said, "Forget it, she doesn't want to say it." With that, I sat down on the edge of her bed.
When Xiaoxue saw me, the coldness in her eyes faded a lot. I asked, "Are you getting better?" ”
"Much better." Her tone grew more intimate.
"My friends just want to know how to get the child's soul back from the corpse child, don't worry too much." I said.
Xiao Xue glanced at Lu Yuan, nodded and said, "No, you sacrificed your life to save me yesterday, which means that you are different from what the people in the clan say, you are a good person." I'm sure they are too. ”
"Can you tell us about the Grass Ghost Clan and the Corpse Boy now?" I asked.
Xiaoxue thought for a while, nodded lightly and said, "Okay!" ”
The origin of the grass ghost clan can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty at the earliest, when there was a Gu Niang who inadvertently refined a Gu worm called the ghost Gu worm, the ghost Gu worm can be described as the king of the Gu worm, at that time, everyone who came into contact with the ghost Gu worm had to be killed immediately, even the master who used the Gu worm was no exception.
The Gu Niang who refined the ghost Gu worm became famous in the area of the Miaojiang Ghost Country with the ghost worm. At the same time, the Maoshan Orthodox faction attacked the witch cult on a large scale, hoping to completely wipe out this cult. At that time, the witch religion was already declining, and it could not compete with the Maoshan uprightness at its peak. At first, the losses were heavy, and then this Gu Niang came forward to sacrifice the ghost Gu worm, and the ghost Gu worm was not afraid of any way to deal with the Gu worm, causing those Maoshan decent people who came to attack to suffer heavy casualties. In the end, he had to be defeated.
And the witch cult is indeed revitalized because of the promotion of ghost Gu worms, especially when the people of the witch clan discover that ghost Gu worms can not only kill people invisibly, but also ghost Gu worms can attach to people's souls after death, so that the soul becomes a kind of ghost that is not afraid of any Taoist magic weapons and spells at all. That is the "ghost" we are encountering now!
The ghost power is several times stronger than the ordinary ghost, so some guys in the witch sect thought of the purpose of refining the soul, hoping to use this kind of ghost power to deal a fatal blow to the Maoshan clan. However, the method of soul refining is too cruel and directly threatens the interests of the underworld. So soon after the soul refining began, the underworld issued a warning to the Wu clan that they should no longer refine the ghost power.
The witch cult can afford to offend the Maoshan clan, but it can't afford to offend the underworld, so it can only interrupt the refining of ghosts. Some of the Wu people thought that this was the best way to defeat the Maoshan clan, and they thought that the Wu Cult was too weak and compromised with the underworld. So these people left the Wu Clan with the refining method of the ghost Gu worm and continued to refine the ghost power. Such people call themselves grass ghosts.
The grass ghost clan has developed rapidly, and with the expansion of the scale, it has once again attracted the attention of the underworld. However, at this moment, the grass ghost clan is no longer as weak as it was when it first started refining ghost power, and if there is a conflict with the underworld, the underworld will also suffer heavy losses. There was no way, the underworld had to choose to compromise with the grass ghost clan and allow them to refine ghosts, but they couldn't harm the world if they refined ghosts.
The compromise of the underworld greatly stimulated their ambition to refine ghosts, and after hundreds of years of operation, the grass ghost clan became a great sect that could be on par with the Wu clan and the Maoshan faction.
But just a few decades ago, a person suddenly came to Xiangxi, gathered the Maoshan faction and the witch sect, and after three months of fierce fighting, completely wiped out the grass ghost clan. From then on, a great religion disappeared from this world in an instant.
I was taken aback, who was so powerful that he was able to gather the two incompatible sects of Maoshan and the Wujiao to exterminate the grass ghost clan together?
Xiao Xue said: "I heard Sister Xu say that his name is Ye Chen. ”
I'll go, it's actually my grandfather! I didn't expect my grandfather to personally exterminate the grass ghost clan, which was really unexpected.
Xiao Xue went on to say that in the decades since the grass ghost clan was wiped out, some of the surviving grass ghost clan members have reorganized themselves and reorganized themselves into the grass ghost clan, but how can the grass ghost clan at this moment be compared to the big sect a few decades ago? They hope that the Grass Ghost Clan can be revitalized and restored to the level it once was. So they wanted to invite the founder of the Grass Ghost Clan from the Deaf Realm and lead them to revitalize the Grass Ghost Clan.
"So they will use the method of encircling the well to bring the ancestors of the grass ghost clan out of the deaf realm." I interrupted.
"How do you know?" Shinoxue asked in surprise.
"I guess." I smiled. In such a long time, Sister Xu has done so many things in order to lay down the situation of the Seven Evil Wells. It turns out that the reason is this.
"What about you, how did you become the patriarch?" Zhang Lingxue couldn't help but ask.
"I picked it up by Sister Xu. She said that I was gifted and that after training me for a while, she announced that I would be the patriarch. ”
It turned out that her patriarchal status was given to her by Sister Xu, and she was a puppet at best. It's no wonder that Sister Xu was able to order her and even kill her.
At this moment, Zhang Lingxue suddenly squinted her eyes and said, "Then I want to see what you look like." As he spoke, he reached out and lifted her veil.
