Chapter 62: The Corpse
In the small courtyard downstairs, two figures are reflected from under the windowsill, and after a while, the lights go out, and there is a 'peaceful' silence in the small building, this 'peace' is relative to the city outside that is decorated with wandering walking corpses, at least in this small village, there will be no walking corpses to sleep with you like guards, and you will not wake up in the morning to see a terrifying head staring at you from the window.
"Is it it?" Li Xian was shocked and remembered a possibility, he could switch between living people and monsters freely, he could completely pretend to be a living person without revealing a trace of strange breath, and he could eat, sleep and talk like a living person.
Legend has it that in 1234 (indeed this year, not 1234!) That is, after the Mongol annihilation of Jin, the main force of the Mongolian army retreated north, and the Southern Song Dynasty Song Lizong wanted to recover Luoyang, Bianliang, Shangqiu Sanjing, when the Song army invaded Mongolia in the north, all the way to recover Bianliang and Luoyang, at this time the Central Plains was ravaged by the Mongol army and was devastated, and the Song army was not supplied and soon fell into trouble, but no one thought that the Mongolian army would dig the Yellow River embankment in order to prevent the Song army's northern expedition, and there was no life for people and animals in the flood.
This incident caused anger and resentment, and finally made a Daomen master determined to take revenge, who this Daomen master is from what faction is impossible to verify, but one thing is certain that from this corpse clan there is something called corpses, corpses feed on heaven and earth, and can turn into ordinary people to lurk in the crowd for several years.
The meaning of feeding on heaven and earth is not that it can swallow the sky and eat the earth, but that between heaven and earth, up to the gods and Buddhas, down to the ghosts and ghosts of the living and the dead corpses, it eats everything, and the corpses have not eaten the gods and Buddhas Li Xian does not know, think that although it has such a good appetite but does not have such a good life, but it is rumored that the death of Wokotai is also related to this kind of thing, this kind of thing is remembered that it appeared in the late Southern Song Dynasty, and then for many years or they can hear news, but they have not been confirmed, to Li Xian's generation, The corpse became a legendary thing.
The corpse is vague even in the Maoshan Chronicles, and Li Xian has never heard of any other sect that will refine this kind of thing, but now that the things he saw tonight are compared with the information in his memory, these things that seem to be living people but are not living people seem to be very similar to corpse drought.
"It seems that I strayed into the wolf's den and bit a hard bone!" Li Xian's face changed slightly, if it was really such a thing as a corpse, they would be good to get in and out of the fishing village this time, and hurriedly touched the yellowed thread-bound book Maoshan Zhi from the Qiankun bag, Li Xian flipped it up, and for a while small confetti flew down from his hand.
This Maoshan Zhi does not have a little bit of the appearance of the Taoist Divine Book, the crumpled book cover is written with cinnabar in three traditional characters, the word is good, but when it comes to this book, it gives people a feeling of waste, look at this book, the yellow background of the page is crumpled not only missing the corner, but also painted with various things, carefully it looks like there are traces of snot on it, if it is really snot, it is Li Xian's dry, this book has only been touched by Li Xian and Li Meng, two children, Li Meng since childhood, will definitely not do this.
If the current appearance of the book was seen by the Maoshan masters who recorded it in the late Qing Dynasty, I don't know if it would be killed from the underworld, shouting to clean up the portal and chop Li Xian's little brother.
Li Xian didn't think about this, he flipped through the book, because it was too old, and the pages would fall off as soon as they were turned, and the white lines of the book were also hairy, and it looked like they could be broken at any time, and the thin pages were quickly found by Li Xian.
"Corpses, things that do not enter the five elements, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, no life and restraint, only the Dao Gate and the Dharma can descend to it!" Li Xian frowned, and turned the book aside irritably, there was only this thing about corpses in the book, "Isn't this the same as not saying it?" The things handed down by the heads of Maoshan in the past dynasties are not recorded professionally. ”
Li Xian turned over irritably, and found that Yu Mo'er and Leng Leng were looking at him with worried eyes, and Li Xian panicked, and they couldn't be calm.
"It's okay, you guys sleep for a while, I'm just looking for what is hidden in this little village!" Li Xian hid the uneasiness in his eyes and smiled slightly.
The two women sat on the bed one left and one right, Li Xian was not suitable to lie down again, he sat up and expelled the inexplicable worries in his brain, one thing is certain, now as long as he is not facing those who are too incomprehensible, that is, the demons beyond the level of earth immortals, then with the strength in Li Xian's hands, he has the power to fight when he encounters other things, the ghost king on the Xuanguang golden armor, and the demon general in the gossip mirror are all his reliance.
"Senior brother, brother, aren't those things very powerful?" Li Xian's words only made the worry in Yu Mo'er's eyes reduce a little, but this worry did not completely disappear, she asked in a low voice.
After thinking about it, Li Xian decided to tell them that it is difficult to say who can always protect whom in the last days, and if you want to survive, you have to rely on yourself in the end and grow up quickly on your own.
"I don't think those villagers are human, but something called a corpse, you can see the corpse as a kind of monster, this kind of monster is very dangerous, if you want to find Yu Wan'er out of here, I need the two of you to work together!" Li Xian said that he wanted the two women to work together in fact, he just didn't want them to feel that they were really a drag, in some ways Li Xian was really better than a good person, this kind of surname Li Xian had before, but it was limited to beautiful surnames, and this kind of surname didn't know if it would change after the end of the world.
Yu Mo'er and Leng Leng nodded again and again, indicating that they would definitely work hard.
"Smack!"
A light sound penetrated the glass window very clearly in the middle of the night into Li Xian's ears, Li Xian put his finger to his lips to signal the two women not to speak, the sound came from downstairs, Li Xian jumped out of bed and looked down, the door of the small courtyard shrouded in blood-colored moonlight was open, and the village chief was carrying a dim oil lamp along the cement road at the door to walk into the distance.
In the dark village, only this dim orange oil lamp loomed in the path, and the rest of the place was pitch black from Li Xian's point of view.
"This old man has been making trouble all night, since he doesn't want a showdown now, where is he going at this time?" Li Xian couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, don't think about what you don't understand, the master's words seem to be very reasonable, and he made up his mind in an instant.
"You two be careful, come with me! Let's go see what he's going to do! Li Xian pointed to the old man who was walking unhurriedly outside the window and said softly.
Li Xian and his two daughters soon appeared on the first floor, and a slight breathing sound could still be heard in the corner room on the first floor, and the village chief's wife remained in the house and did not follow.
Li Xian only glanced at the small courtyard and chased after the old man, the old man's speed was not fast, Li Xian and the three of them walked lightly through the two paths and soon saw his figure, the old man hung the oil lamp on his waist, the oil lamp swayed left and right with his figure, the light and shadow were mysterious, in the dark village, there was no sound of insects and birds, only the heavy footsteps of the old man seemed to sound in the hearts of Li Xian and the three people.
The three of them fell behind the old man not far away, the old man's steps remained unchanged and he didn't seem to notice that he was being followed, and he still walked towards his goal, and the direction he went was the seaside outside the village.
