Chapter 533: Human Skin Map
The old man knew that Zhou Yuefeng was the inheritor of the Netherworld Channeler, so he withdrew from the others, pulled him to the inner room where he lived, and then took out a map to show Zhou Yuefeng. This map looked like a huge coiling dragon, but without claws, and Zhou Yuefeng took a closer look and found that it was the same as the remains he saw in the ruined temple.
As a result, Zhou Yuefeng speculated that this should be the hooked snake, and this speculation was also confirmed by the old man, he said: "This thing is the hooked snake, and this map is the only map of Xianti Mountain." Zhou Yuefeng touched it with his hand and found that the map was very slippery to the touch, as if it had touched human skin.
He looked at the old man, and then asked, "Uncle, could it be that this map of the mountain is like a hooked snake hovering above the mountain?" The old man nodded, and then said mysteriously: "This area is a forbidden area, and no one enters it and comes out alive, the only ...... He was the only one. After saying this, he raised his eyes and looked out the window, looking like an immortal who had attained enlightenment.
Zhou Yuefeng asked, "He, who is he?" Is that the owner of this map? The old man nodded, this map was brought out by him desperately, he is my master, I am not the guardian of the inheritance, the guardian of the inheritance is the same as you ghost guides, they are all passed on from generation to generation in their own family, and I am not actually the successor of the corpse keeper, but I have become the last corpse keeper by mistake.
Zhou Yuefeng was confused by these words, he looked at the old man with puzzled eyes, and the old man said, "Go, follow me to the inner room." As he spoke, he pulled Zhou Yuefeng away, Zhou Yuefeng was pulled by the old man and stumbled, and the two of them immediately came to the door where he had found after the pile of corpses.
The old man pulled Zhou Yuefeng with one hand, and gently pushed the door open with one hand, and then the two walked in, Zhou Yuefeng had been to this place once, so he didn't feel that it was so novel, the old man pointed to those tablets and said, "You take a closer look, their names." ”
Zhou Yuefeng had noticed that these names were a little strange before, but he never understood them, and at this time the old man asked him to look at these names again, Zhou Yuefeng was even more convinced that his feelings were not wrong, but no matter how he looked at them, he still couldn't see what the names of these people meant, he could only see that these people were all surnamed Zhang, but the surname Zhang was originally very common, what truth could there be?
The old man seemed to see Zhou Yuefeng's question and asked, "What?" Don't see it yet? Zhou Yuefeng looked at him and shook his head, indicating that he really didn't understand, and the old man said: "Don't look at the surname, they all have the same surname, you look at the name." Zhou Yuefeng then looked at the name again, but he didn't find anything, he looked at it for a while, and shook his head at the old man.
At this time, the brothers outside couldn't wait, so they heard the horse monkey shouting: "Brother Feng, what are you doing inside?" Zhou Yuefeng looked at the old man, arched his hand and said, "Please also ask the seniors to teach you." ”
The old man also knew that Zhou Yuefeng was not in the mood to take a closer look at this time, thinking that he would have to tell him sooner or later, so he said: "Look at the first person, that is, the ancestor of the corpse keeper. Zhou Yuefeng saw two words written on the tablet: "Zhang Shou", he always felt that this name was very strange, but he didn't know where the strangeness was for a while, and then the old man pointed to the name below.
Zhou Yuefeng took a look, the second generation is called "Zhang Baocun", this name is also very strange, the third generation is called "Zhang Shoujing", the fourth generation is called "Zhang Yuyin", Zhou Yuefeng looked at it and suddenly realized that he said: "It turns out that there is a 'Shou' word in the name of each generation, but the backup of the singular number is to combine the word 'Shou', and when it comes to the two generations, the word 'Shou' is separated." ”
The old man stroked his beard and said: "You kid is not too stupid, and although my surname is Zhang, but I don't call such a name, my original name is 'Zhang Cai', I was rescued by my master, I came here to follow my brothers to find the baby, but I didn't expect to meet this Yizhuang like a house here, which is full of corpses, at that time my master was not in this house, and we were also besieged by these corpses here, but thanks to these corpses blocking our way, otherwise I may not have survived today." ”
Zhou Yuefeng said: "This? The old man continued: "Then the first mountain is not a place where people should go up at all, and my master is the last generation of corpse keepers, because the snake plague here is gone, so there is no need for corpse keepers to exist." My master didn't look for an heir, so he simply didn't get married and have children, who would have thought that I don't know who touched the mechanism and destroyed the confinement, and these things reappeared in the world. ”
At this time, Zhou Yuefeng thought of the ruined temple under the mountain, and thought that the imprisonment must be there, but he didn't know who touched it. The old man continued: "But my master is already more than half a hundred years old at this time, and he knows that he will not have anyone to continue this inheritance, so he can only do his best to protect those people and prevent them from entering the mist of Xianti Mountain. ”
Zhou Yuefeng looked at the map and asked, "Uncle, if your master didn't go in, how could he have this map?" The old man said, "He went in, and it was when we came to this hill that he went into the mist, and that day we were besieged by these corpses, and we were almost annihilated, and at last I escaped alone, but because it was dark, I went in the wrong direction, and the direction in which I ran was getting closer and closer to the mist of Mount Thanti." ”
When the old man told this, it seemed that he was re-experiencing it, and he felt that every word and sentence was painful, he looked at Zhou Yuefeng and said: "I didn't expect that the master happened to come down from the mountain, he was covered in blood, and when he saw that I was running in the direction of the fog, he quickly stopped me and took me back to this room, I thought he was one of these corpses, struggling desperately, and my leg was also injured when I was fighting with the master at that time." ”
Zhou Yuefeng looked at the corpses lying inside and outside, and said, "Uncle, you mean...... Will these corpses rise up and fight people? Isn't that a zombie? The old man glared at him: "The child is in a hurry, listen to me slowly." Zhou Yuefeng knew that the old man would talk about it sooner or later, so he simply shut up.
The old man continued: "Later, my master saw that I was too good at tossing, and he was injured again, so he knocked me unconscious, and I was already here when I woke up. As he spoke, he looked around as if the scene was still vivid, but he quickly turned back to reality.
He said: "He told me that he was dying, and let me continue his duties here, I was not happy at first, I was still very young at that time, and I still wanted to marry a wife and have children to live a happy life, but then I saw that the master was about to die, and he saved my life, so I promised him, and in the little time he had left, he did not rush to heal his injuries, but taught me these techniques of corpse control day and night." ”
Speaking of this, he choked up, Zhou Yuefeng obviously saw that the old man's eyes were full of tears, Zhou Yuefeng didn't bother him, and quietly waited for the old man to ease up. After a while, Cui Fat Man outside shouted, "Brother Feng, what are you doing inside?" Old man, hurry up and let Brother Feng out, we still have something to do! ”
Zhou Yuefeng was just about to explain to the old man, but he didn't expect the old man to come to his senses and said: "It's okay, after I followed the master to learn the art of corpse control, these corpses can no longer hurt me, but the master is also dead, so I continue the master's duties here, he told me that only the heir of the Netherworld Soul Attractor can completely solve the things on the mountain first, solve them, and there will be no more dead corpses on this mountain, and our task will be completed. That is when the corpse keeper can truly disappear from this world. ”
Then he picked up the map and said, "This ...... This map was left to me by the master, and he told me that the heir of the Nether Channeler will definitely come, and I will give it to him when he comes, and today, I will give you this map, which can be of great help to you in destroying those monsters. ”
Zhou Yuefeng picked up the map that was as light as a cicada's wings, but at this moment, he felt that it was very heavy, and he couldn't bear it. Zhou Yuefeng was about to kneel, but the old man pulled him up and said, "This map ...... This map was stripped from my master's body. Hearing this, Zhou Yuefeng seemed to understand something.
He trembled and held the map, then looked at the old man, felt a chill flowing through his body, and the old man said: "The people that my master was going to save back then, they drew this map on my master's back at the last moment, and my master desperately brought it out, in order to be able to avenge them one day." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yuefeng seemed to have seen the scene of the old man's master cutting off the map from his master little by little with tears in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a sour nose.
The old man touched the map and said: "It is not easy for the Netherworld Soul Guide, responsible for maintaining the order of the Yin and Yang worlds, and it is not easy for the corpse keeper, I hope that those things can really be solved this time, so that the corpse keeper can live a normal life, and no one will be like me, guarding these corpses alone in this deep mountain and old forest for a lifetime." ”
Zhou Yuefeng looked at the map, then looked at the old man, and said righteously: "Uncle, don't worry, whether it is life or death this time, I will try my best, and I will definitely live up to your request." With that, he took the human skin map into his arms. The old man patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, it is worthy of being the twenty-seventh generation descendant of the Netherworld Attractor, my old man has not waited for so many years in vain." ”
