Chapter 357: Undead
PS: PS: Thank you for the monthly pass. It's hard, code words go-
Tang Yumo once again used the word devil. She said that we brought the devil's curse from the ground into the underground caverns. Now simply say that there is a devil in Lop Nur. Then what they think is the devil is in Lop Nur
It is precisely for this reason that their ancestors fled Lop Nur and traveled thousands of mountains and rivers to settle here.
But the education of my generation made me not believe in this. We may not believe in this doctrine or that doctrine, but my generation also does not believe in ghosts and gods, and you could say that our generation does not believe in them
Faith, no fear, but that's the truth. Until now, it would be for me to believe in a god or fear a ghost.
Tang Yumo fears ghosts and gods, it should be that she lives in a relatively closed village and is influenced too much by tradition, but this will not affect my judgment. And I don't want to be in ghosts, which I'm not good at
Entangled on the topic.
"If you have a population of millions and the migration era is in the pre-Qin period, this great migration should have a profound impact on Chinese history and culture. But there is no such passage in the history books I know
Don't you think it's strange to record? ”
"It is our people who have left an influence on the culture of the Central Plains who have left behind in Lop Nur. And ours, not only will not leave traces, but will also deliberately conceal it. At that time, my ancestors were on the run, not traveling. ”
"What are you running away from? Don't prevaricate me with ghosts and gods, I want to know what is it, what is it or something that makes them flee. ”
There was a moment of silence. Tang Yumo shook his head and said, "This history is too long, and we haven't passed it on in too much detail. As I told you, the history of our village is passed down by word of mouth.
There is no written record. ”
"And what about here? You won't forget the history of this stockade and underground caves. Jack interjected again. If you had a population of millions, then I admit to realizing the valley
The project is not nonsense. You just said that this is your holy place, what's going on? You have chosen to settle in this valley. and the construction of an incredible reservoir in an underground cave
And for what purpose? Also, explain carefully how they could be your kind. ”
Jack ended the question by pointing to a long-tailed monster in the fire, roasted zizzles. However, Jack's hand did not put down, and his eyes stared at Tang Yumo aggressively.
"You believe that, too. Obviously blind. The fat man muttered disdainfully.
I stared at the fat man and pressed my hands down quickly. With a serious expression, he made a silent gesture. When I talked about this topic just now, it was the fat man who first diverted the topic, of course. I'm also a pusher
The role of Lan. This time, I don't want to digress, I want to listen to Tang Yumo's explanation.
Tang Yumo sat on the ground on his knees, resting for a period of time and feeling better, at least his upper body was up. She suddenly looked around and said, "The fire is smaller." ”
No one paid any attention to her, and no one moved. Jack was still coolly holding a gun in one hand, pointing at a monster with a long tail in the fire.
The fat man glanced at Jack and mouth-smacked. 'Pretending to be a convict. ’
Truly. Isn't he tired from holding that position?
"While the fire is not extinguished, throw these long tails into the fire and burn them. These things cannot be left behind, they must be destroyed, and fire is the only effective way to destroy them. Tang Yumo looked at me and continued.
The fat man sneered and said, "It's a pity to burn, we don't have much food, isn't it good to bake it?" ”
"I don't think you're interested in eating this." Tang Yumo frowned and said. "Well, I'll make the situation as succinct as possible. Hopefully burn them without delay. ”
"You're curious why I say they're the same kind, right? I can understand. But I tell you. Many years ago, before they entered the underground caverns, they were my people,
Do you understand? ”
I saw the fat man's face flush, and I think I was about the same. Isn't that making fun of us? Can you be a little more bloody?
"Nope. I guess we can't understand it. But you can go into a little more detail, I'm trying to understand. ”
Jack is the only person other than the Laotians who remains calm.
"Our people fled from Lop Nur with the curse of the devil. This curse is imprinted in our blood, in our genes, and cannot be shaken off. Originally, my ancestors thought that this valley would allow us to escape
Curse of the devil. But after countless generations, we find that the curse still haunts us. We can't leave this valley otherwise."
Silent. Tang Yumo fell silent. It seems that something is weighed in the mind.
After a moment, he sighed and continued: "Otherwise, the price we paid for escaping from Lop Nur will be in vain. Well, I think you've seen Luo Lao, he's the oldest in our village
The Awoken. The last time he entered an underground cave was more than a hundred years ago. Of course, not this time, this is his last in the true sense of the word. ”
"What do you want to say? Is Luo Lao a long-lived person? Or do you use the underground cave as a cemetery? We don't care about either, even if he's a centenarian, so what? "I can't
Stop choking her.
"What if he lived far longer than the average long-lived old man? Or even more than double. ”
"He's a youkai?"
"He's the Awakened."
"The Awakened have an extremely long lifespan?"
"Yes, in principle. However, many awakened people will slowly lose their awakened abilities after leaving the village, and they will not have a long lifespan. ”
"Then I can live for a long time, hundreds of years. I'm the Awakened, aren't I? Ah San said excitedly beside me.
Tang Yumo nodded. "Yes, and you also have the right to eternal life."
The fat man 'puffed' and was about to jump up and scold his mother.
In fact, I also had the urge to scold my mother when I heard this. I felt that the more she talked about it, the more she lost her score.
"Let me finish my sentence." Tang Yumo made a quiet gesture and stood up and said. "The Awakened of our people will be sent here when the Wind Candle is in its last years. Specific place Mr. Zhang
You've been there, it's that glowing wall.
There they will undergo a secondary mutation and become a new species. Either turn into a long-tailed monster or into a big bat. After the second mutation, it can no longer be called a human, the most important thing is
They no longer have the human mind, only the animal instinct. But they can do it without being born and dying, and as long as there is no external force to kill it, they will not die.
Luo Lao actually didn't have time to send him down, but we had to close the entrance of the cave for a long time, so this time we could only let him follow. ”
"Do you want us to witness him turn into a monster?"
"Closing the hole? What do you mean! (To be continued......)
