In the dilapidated mountain village, there is a white lantern lit in front of the door, the lantern reveals a trace of green light, strange and gloomy, Dumb and I walked behind the old man, the village is very quiet, except for the sound of the wind whining and blowing, there is neither dog barking, nor insect chirping, and even the sound of no one talking.

Dumb kept his eyes on the surrounding houses, and then whispered in my ear: "Master, there are walking corpses in every house in these houses, and there are corpse refiners in every house. It should be a branch of the corpse lineage, yes. ”

I nodded, but I heard the old man snort coldly, intentionally or unintentionally. The village is not big, from the entrance of the village to the end of the village in front of the black brick house, the distance is only about 200 meters at most.

The people of the village all stood on the side of the road and watched us, not welcome, of course, but vigilant, even a kind of intimidation. I'm not afraid of them, but it's always uncomfortable to be looked at like this.

Before and after arriving at the black brick house, the old man clapped his hands, and a white lantern lit up in the originally black brick house. At the same time, the wooden door opened by itself, and a thick corpse gas rushed out of the house.

I couldn't see the old man's expression hidden under the mask, but I could more or less guess how many points I wanted to enter this room, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy. He smiled slightly and said, "What does the patriarch mean by this?" The white lantern at the door is a dead person. It was pitch black inside the door, and it was me, the living, who was not lit, but the dead. You seem to have killed me. ”

I said it very directly, anyway, I didn't scare him, and I didn't do it directly when I entered the village, because I had doubts about the memory of Maoshan Slaughter Village in my previous youth. Maoshan is also a famous faction, how could he do such a thing as slaughtering the village.

The old man let out a gloomy laugh, a little dull through the wooden mask. said in a low voice: "This is the old rule of our Luxi lineage, we are corpse chasers, we worship the corpse god, and we walk in the vagina." If you have a guest at your door, you naturally need to greet them well. If you can walk past the white lantern, enter my black house, and light the ever-bright lantern, you will be our friends in the Luxi lineage. If you can't light this lantern, then you can only go home. ”

Hearing the old man's words, Dumb's blue face showed a gloomy face, and he roared in a low voice: "You seem to be looking for death!" ”

Dumb's roar, the corpse qi on his body has begun to surging and condensed, but I smiled slightly and said: "Dumb, there is no need to be like this, as the saying goes, the guest is as he pleases, since the patriarch has already said so, then I naturally will not refuse." Just walk into this dark house and light the lantern, right? Then please incense. ”

The old man probably didn't expect me to agree so quickly, hesitated for a while, and then walked to the side of a mouthful of ancient ding, folded half a yellow incense, fingertips lightly touched the yellow incense, the yellow incense immediately burned, but I didn't see him holding a match or a lighter or something like that, he put the yellow incense in my hand, I sighed lightly and said: "The patriarch's kung fu of burning the corpse fire is really not weak." It seems to be a hidden hand! ”

The old man paused, didn't say anything, I took the yellow incense, raised my arm slightly, and the smoke drifted in the air with the wind. I raised Huang Xiang above my head and bowed to the Quartet in the form of tweezers, just to let the green smoke float up and blow towards the black house opposite, but also to test what was strange about this black house. But after a while, I saw that the green smoke was faintly faint in front of the house, and it lingered at the door, but it just couldn't get in.

My heart opened, and I glanced inside, but the corners of my mouth were slightly raised, and I whispered: "The corpse is a wall, patriarch, you gave me another surprise." ”

Pinching incense in my left hand, I raised my foot and walked towards the black house. The old man spoke after I had taken two steps, "Did you just walk in, Your Excellency?" Don't do it, or do you sacrifice the magic weapon? Although we corpse chasers don't have any strong spells, we won't be reduced to the level of being bullied casually by Your Excellency. ”

Hearing this, I smiled slightly and said, "I have already used the spell, and the patriarch should take a closer look." ”

After speaking, I was already standing in front of the black house, stretched out my hand, and the heaven-making power on my body had been activated, in the eyes of this old man, I may not be able to see my heaven-making power, but the moment I walked into the room, he was still quite surprised and said: "Sure enough, he is a master!" ”

I entered the black house, walked to the table, lit the candle on the table, it was still a white candle, and it looked strange and unlucky. The old man walked in, bowed his hand to me, and said in a rather polite tone: "It's really a hero out of a young man, and he can be regarded as a knowledge, and there are countless people in the world." ”

I chuckled and said, "The patriarch's means are not weak, and there are two things I want to ask the patriarch about before I come down." But before I ask, there is one thing I want to explain. If the patriarch's answer is not my wish, perhaps, I will forcibly send the patriarch and everyone in this village to the fifth group of the national brand. ”

When the old man heard this, he raised his hand suddenly, closed the wooden door, and then nodded and said, "I know your intentions, and I can guess what question you want to ask." ”

I smiled and said, "In that case, that's easy." The first question is, are you responsible for the many strange things in Jintan? Second, I want to distinguish between the truth and the falsehood of the Maoshan massacre in Maoshan back then. Please elaborate. ”

In the dimly lit room, there was only the slightest flame of the white candle, and the old man did not speak, but at this moment he reached out to take off the wooden mask on his face. I was vigilant in my heart, and the wooden face was removed, and in front of me was an old and hideous countenance of terror. He put the wooden mask on the table, stretched out his hand and touched the right side of his face, which was full of scars, dark red scars in the light of the candlelight, like a terrible reptile falling on the old man's face. I was stunned and asked, "Where did the scar on your face come from?" ”

The old man did not have a trace of sadness on his face, but said: "Back then, our branch was a branch of the Luxi lineage. Although it has not been inherited by the orthodox method of expelling corpses, it can be regarded as keeping to itself. Who would have thought that a few decades ago, one day, two disciples of Maoshan were born to practice, and when they entered the village of our branch, they saw corpses raised by families, and two young disciples who had no experience in the rivers and lakes actually mistook these walking corpses for zombies and wanted to be killed. We tried our best to stop them, but because they were forced to come from Maoshan and couldn't afford to provoke them, we didn't dare to be rude to them, but just admonished. But they didn't listen, they insisted on killing the walking corpse, everyone froze, and in the chaos, the two young disciples of Maoshan were killed. Our branch, although we tried to hide the matter, but in the end, the paper couldn't hold the fire. The matter was revealed, and the big clan of Luxi expelled us. In order to give Maoshan an explanation, he left this terrible scar on my face. This is also the reason why we revealed to Jiangsu. ”

I nodded, thought about it and said, "Wait, according to what you said, you should stay away from Maoshan, why did you come to Jiangsu, still near Jintan City?" ”

The old man was silent, and after a long while, I said, "Could it be that after you were expelled from Luxi, you wanted to take revenge on Maoshan?" So the most dangerous place is the safest, you put on a mask, cover people's eyes and ears, and bring the ethnic group to Jiangsu. In order to hide, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge on Maoshan. Could it be that you were slaughtered because Maoshan discovered your intentions, so he will attack you? ”

The old man didn't speak, his silence made me can't see through, what does it mean not to speak! After a long while, the old man said, "Your statement is only half right. I did want to take revenge on Maoshan, but it was only after arriving in Jiangsu that I realized that my idea was very ridiculous. I have tried to break through the defensive circles and guards on the periphery of Maoshan Mountain, but I have been discovered several times, and the only time I broke into the interior of Maoshan was to feel that there were dozens of spiritual senses stronger than me in Maoshan. I knew I wanted to take revenge on Maoshan, and it was almost impossible to achieve it. So I retreated. Subsequently, I only thought about developing the ethnic group, and one day I could regain the recognition of the corpse chasers in Xiangxi, and even did not hesitate to let the clansmen do some illegal things. However, we almost never kill people, that is, cheat some and rob a little property. It's just that it didn't take long for something to happen, something that made our entire tribe be targeted by Maoshan. It was after this incident that we were devastated by the secret forces of Maoshan. That is, Tu Village! ”

I was even more amazed and hurriedly asked, "What is going on?" ”

The candle flame reflected the old man's extremely old, but deep and dark face. After a while, the old man said, "We have received a task of robbing the road, and the reward is not low. I set out with a group of good riders to rob the road, only to find that this high-reward task should be a bit difficult, but in fact, the people who protect the goods are almost all ordinary people. We were knocked unconscious and thrown in the grass, we shouldn't have looked at the goods, but Lao Xu opened the lid of the goods without permission, and we found out that the goods were actually filled with a dead person! A Taoist priest wearing a yellow Taoist robe, with a blue complexion, has been dead for a long time! ”
