Chapter 65: The Corpse Puppet
I replied honestly: "Seniors, the younger generations of slaying demons and subduing demons naturally dare not shirk it, but this time I encountered a drought that has not been encountered for hundreds of years, and I hope that the old-timers will help me if something goes wrong." ”
The old man said with a smile: "You mean to let my old man help you fight the drought." ”
I grinned, nodded heavily, and said, "With the practice of the old-timers, getting rid of the drought fish must be easy to capture, hehe." ”
"Fart." The old man didn't want to say a foul word, and then said: "You stinky boy is really bad, you let a person of my age fight such a fierce thing, and fight back to catch it, it's just nonsense." ”
I didn't expect the old man's reaction to be so fierce, but before I could apologize, the old man suddenly said with a startling smile: "Then how much are you going to pay if you ask me for help this time?" ”
"Uh,,。" I blushed, bowed my head and said, "Senior, I don't have any money,,。 ”
The old man suddenly blew his beard and glared again: "If you don't have money, what can you help, if you don't help, you have the ability to settle this matter yourself." ”
I'm in a hurry for a while, to be honest, for this drought, I really don't have much bottom in my heart, and the idea is quite appropriate, but I don't know how the specific effect is, but this strange old man knows how to recognize money, and what kind of mystery he says, it's clearly an old money fan, hum,
Of course, I didn't dare to say these words even if I was killed, so I could only complain in my heart.
The old man frowned slightly, and said: "According to legend, during the Yuan and Ming dynasties, there were corpse puppets in Zhongnan Mountain, corpse puppets, that's a good thing, ordinary corpse puppets are more capable than brute bulls, and they are vigorous, if they are subdued and be a follower by their side, it is an excellent guard, hehe." ”
"Corpse puppet,." I was shocked, that thing is recorded in the book, it is made by people in the Taoist sect with refining corpses**, as for refining corpses**, it has been listed as the Dao Gate Forbidden Law, and now there is only such a name in the book, and there is no specific content, because this method is too vicious, it is rumored that during the refining of corpses, it must be fed with the blood of the living, and it cannot be interrupted day by day, and the methods are also complex and changeable, and it is by no means controllable by ordinary monks, if it is a good deed for the benefit of the common people, it is naturally good, but if it is used in an improper way, it is evil, will be destroyed by heaven and earth,
As the old man said, ordinary corpse puppets are as powerful as oxen, their actions are as flexible as those of a living person, and they are not invaded by all evils, and they can be used in the right way to subdue demons and subdue demons for the benefit of one side, but if they are used in the evil way, they must be a powerful magic weapon for the evil side.
I don't know why the old man suddenly talked about the corpse puppet, so I immediately asked, "Senior, do you want to ,,。 ”
The old man said bluntly: "Yes, if this drought can be refined by me, maybe I can refine a high-grade corpse puppet, hehe." ”
"Nope." I refused, "Senior, if you want to refine the corpse golem, then won't I be able to get rid of the Drought Golem?" ”
The old man laughed and said, "Of course, if you make a hole for me or something, I have no way to make up for it, and this drought is not suitable for refining, it will be better if you wait for a while, um." ”
I muttered in my heart, what is the old man going to do, if I let the drought fish cultivate for a period of time, wouldn't it be that the villagers of alpaca village will have to endure the hardships of the great drought, how can this work?
The old man said for a while that he had helped me, but now he was talking about how he stood on the opposite side of me again, I fought the drought fish for the villagers, and he didn't help, if he let the drought fish cultivate intact for a period of time, what should the villagers do, what kind of medicine is this old man selling in the gourd,
I thought about it for a while, and said cautiously: "Senior, you can't ignore the life and death of the villagers, the drought fish must be eliminated, and you can't let it survive for another day, otherwise the villagers really won't be able to live." ”
The old man stroked his beard slowly, and said with a happy smile: "Then my old man is so old, and there is a lack of a follower to serve tea and pour water every day, and I don't want to look for it." ”
"This ,,。" I have nothing to say, what the old man said seems to make sense, but this drought must not stay, I sighed lightly and said, "Senior, then how can you give up the idea of refining corpse puppets." ”
The old man suddenly stared at me with a smile and said, "It's very simple, either you come to be my old man's attendant, or I will refine that drought fish ,,,, it seems that I really have a copy of that refining corpse, anyway, I don't need to use it in vain." ”
I hurriedly clenched my fists and said: "Seniors, please forgive me, if you let me walk with the old-timers, it's okay to take care of each other along the way, but if you follow the old-timers permanently, wouldn't you have to worship the old-timers as teachers, but I already have a master,,。 ”
The old man blew his beard and said, "What's wrong with the master, now my old man will look at you as a pleasing boy, if you are willing to be a little apprentice under my knees, I will give up this drought, and I can help you get rid of it, in fact, this drought, it is not difficult to get rid of it, what do you think." ”
I immediately refused: "Senior, although I was born stupid, but I still know the truth of respecting the teacher, my master just passed away, I want to take refuge in others as teachers, then I am not the kind of unkind and unrighteous people, one day as a teacher and a father for life, I only recognize one master in my life, that is Yang Yuanshan, the master of Maoshan Tantric Sect, and I hope that the old-timers can understand, and I also hope that the old-timers will do their best to subdue the drought." ”
The old man looked at me with wide eyes slightly, and said: "Stinky boy, without my old man's help, you can't even touch the ass of the drought, you are playing with the lives of innocent people here, you know no, you must know that there are countless people who want to worship under my old man's door for many years, but my old man has not taken a look at it, you kid has a chance to create, I think you are a material that can be made, it's a pity that you don't cherish the hard-won opportunity, hum, the stinky boy is angry with me, the stinky boy is angry with me,,。 ”
Saying that, the old man rubbed his beard, turned around and shook his head and chirped away, I looked at the old man's distant back blankly, I wanted to ask him if he was still fighting the idea of drought, but I knew that I couldn't ask it at this time, otherwise if it aroused the old man's stubborn temper, it would be miserable to do it for me, but his words were not clear and really unreassuring, this is good, the way to deal with the drought fish did not come out, but caused the old man to blame the big trouble, many contacts, I know very well that he has a very unreasonable temper, which is not much worse than a child, maybe these words are just talking and playing, but maybe, he will really do it, alas, what is the thing I am doing, provoking a strange old man out of thin air, and trying to let people help, but ,,, is simply smashing walnuts on the donkey's buttocks, looking for kicks,
"Mr. Big."
"On the seventh day of the first month, we are back."
Li Dadong and Lao Yang's excited laughter came from afar, I glanced at the two of them, and waved my hand casually as a promise, but I couldn't be happy, and my heart kept replying: "What to do, what to do,,,,,,。 ”
The old sheep asked in surprise: "Chu Qi, what's the matter with you, your face is even more ugly than before, is there a problem with the cemetery?" ”
Li Dadong took out his sharp knife at the same time to defend himself, and I immediately signaled them not to be nervous, and shook his head: "I'm fine, and there is no problem with the cemetery." ”
Lao Yang exhaled deeply and said: "You scared me, hehe, it's okay, by the way, everyone in the village has left to take refuge in other villages, and a few fierce people want to help, but they are scared back by Dongzi, so we can relax and deal with the drought." ”
Li Dadong nodded in agreement: "Well, this time, whether it is a zombie or a drought, my knife will leave a mark on its chest, by the way, Mr. Big, it's almost noon now, when will we act." ”
I looked up at the sky suddenly, and sure enough, it was close to noon at this time, and inadvertently, I turned my head to look in the direction where the old man disappeared, and my heart was furious, this strange old man, don't make any trouble halfway.
After settling down, I immediately said, "Prepare the guys, dig the grave." ”
