Chapter 119: Greetings from Zhu Xiao
Walking into the wing, I made a gesture to the soul of the Taoist chief and said, "Taoist chief, there are a lot of doubts below, I hope you can help me answer them one by one." ”
The Taoist nodded slightly and said, "Okay, as long as I can say it, I will know everything, and I will say everything." ”
I smiled, thought for a moment and said, "Excuse me, did you go to see the village at the foot of the mountain?" ”
The Taoist chief looked at me, smiled slightly and said: "Sure enough, I should have thought that since someone came to bury us, then it must have been attracted by the curse at the foot of the mountain, young man, I see that you are not very old, and you are very wise, and you can solve the puzzle of this Taoist temple, you are definitely not a human being, and people like you should not be careful." ”
I pouted, this kind of puzzle, I'm afraid that a three-year-old child can solve it, as if how difficult it is, after complaining in my heart, I laughed and said: "Dao Chief, since you know that I am smart, then you should also know, if it is not a last resort, I am also unwilling to explore the secrets of that village, but I have been involved now, if I don't know more, I'm afraid I really have no hope of life." ”
The Taoist chief looked at me with a frown, and finally sighed and said, "It seems that you didn't enter the village before, otherwise, you would have died a long time ago, and this village seems to have been cursed by some kind on the surface, but after I went to see it, I felt that things were really not that simple." ”
I thought about it for a moment and wondered, "Could it be that the origin of this curse is very big?" ”
The Taoist chief smiled bitterly and said, "It's not just big, it's just outrageous, do you know what kind of curse is in the village?" Death Curse! ”
"Corpse curse?" Slightly startled, I repeated. Legend has it that the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and the Demon King Chi You fought in the chase of deer. Once. Chi You looked at the bones of the soldiers everywhere. Said to one of the mages under him, these soldiers were born and died for my Chiyou, but in the end they want to be violent corpses in the wilderness, I am ashamed of them, can you think of a way to let these soldiers go home by themselves.
So, the wizards under Chiyou studied together for a long time, and finally one day. The wizards came up with a spell that would cause the corpse to rise from the ground on its own, listen to the mantra, and go home. This is the earliest record of the corpse curse, and the corpses of people who put away the effects of the corpse curse are collectively called zombies.
"Dao Chief, could you be mistaken, didn't you say that the people in the village disappeared, how could it be related to the mysterious corpse curse?" In fact. There are also many Taoist priests who can control corpses, but that is a corpse control curse. According to legend, there are three parts of the corpse curse, which is divided into corpse, corpse control and corpse, the first part is to let the corpse rise, the second part is to control the corpse, the third part is to appease the corpse, only the three parts are complete, it is a complete corpse curse, only the corpse curse can only control those who have become zombies, but if it is a complete corpse curse, it is different, they can make zombies, as long as there are corpses, they can create a large number of zombie legions with no pain, no fear, and invulnerability.
The Taoist shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I also hope that I am wrong, but my Taoist temple specializes in studying zombies, so when I was in the village, I felt that someone was using a complete corpse spell to create a zombie corps, but I really couldn't figure it out, after Chiyou was defeated, the corpse curse was destroyed by Emperor Xuanyuan himself because it disturbed the peace of the dead, but how could it appear here?" ”
I smiled, although I don't know what Chi You's strength is, but as Lian Hongjun and I've seen it, I'm really not too surprised to hear Chi You, but it's limited to me, for ordinary people like Dao Chang, Chi You, who is already an ancient god-level person, is an unattainable existence.
I didn't bother to debate this matter with the Taoist Chief, so I changed the subject and said, "Daoist, what is the paper package you gave to Ah Lan, and what happened to this Taoist temple that caused you all to die?" ”
The Taoist chief sighed again and said: "Actually, I don't know how I died, I only know that when I came back from the village at the foot of the mountain that day, I vaguely felt that I was in big trouble, so I told the rest of the children to pack up their things as soon as possible and prepare to leave the Taoist temple the next day, but I slept this night, and I don't know how long I slept, when I woke up again, I found that I had become a soul, and my corpse, not far away, there was a line of words on my corpse, Unless someone can solve the two puzzles in this Taoist temple, we will never be able to superlive, and, before the puzzle is solved, we only need to say a word to strangers, and we will be destroyed, this puzzle has been thinking since I died, I have been thinking about it for more than five years, and I still haven't figured it out, and I can't imagine that you have cracked it, which is also a great fate for us. As for the paper packets given to the villagers, I think you'd better find out for yourself. ”
I pouted helplessly, five years, five years on this puzzle, it's really embarrassing for him, with his intelligence, how did he become a Taoist temple, but in my mouth, I still said respectfully: "Daoist, please show me a clear way." ”
The Taoist chief smiled and said, "I don't have much time, but I think the answer is in your heart." After that, he disappeared directly.
After making sure that there were no other clues, I picked up the futon where the remains of the Taoist chief were sitting on, patted it under my buttocks, and began to slowly sort out the clues.
The village must not be able to enter, you will die if you go in, at least until you find out the complete clues, you must not be able to go in, I don't have many clues now, but it's not too little, the disappearance of the villagers' mouths, I'm afraid it was captured by someone and made into a zombie, which is also a good explanation for why people under the age of seventy are arrested, because people who are over seventy years old, even if they become zombies, their combat effectiveness is limited, after all, they are already old, and then, the corpse curse is in the hands of the mage under Chi You, that is, This incident must be inseparable from Chi You or his former subordinates, it is said that Chi You is immortal and immortal, after the defeat, the helpless Emperor Xuanyuan can only divide him into several parts and seal them up, if the legend is true, then you can boldly speculate that this village is likely to be the place where part of Chi You's body is sealed, or it is very likely that this is the place where the last part of Chi You was sealed, and the other parts have been recovered by one of his old subordinates who did not die. It's not impossible. So there is at least a general probability that the final boss of this game is Chiyou. But the strength of the beginning. Even a high-ranking person has to avoid three points, what kind of strength is Chi You, so that it can match my game? So it's likely that there are a lot of zombie troops, plus Chiyou's old subordinates, plus Chiyou's body, only in this way can it meet the current Taichu's ability, but now I'm going to do it. I must first find the complete clue and solve the puzzle of the village, otherwise I will definitely die when I enter the village, but where is the clue?
Also, what does the word on the plaque of the main hall mean, it is not that the time has not come, and there will be a ghost cry when the time comes. Who wrote this line and what does it mean? There are only three possible people, and the first is undoubtedly Chiyou or his subordinates, if they wrote it. That undoubtedly means that there is someone or something in this Taoist temple that has provoked him. So after destroying the entire Taoist temple, they wrote this line of words, but the possibility is very small, if it was really written by them, the entire Taoist temple was destroyed by them, such a high-profile style, this line of words can be written in a more obvious place, such as the front of the plaque, not the back.
The second possibility is undoubtedly the soul of the Taoist, because of the hatred for Chi You's destruction of the Taoist Temple, he wrote this line of words, "It's not that he doesn't report" is undoubtedly a consolation for himself, although I don't know if someone will come to defeat Chi You, but writing a line like this can be regarded as out of anger, just like Ah Q in Lu Xun's novel. This is also more in line with it, because I don't know if Chiyou and the others will come back, so it is written in a hidden place and will not be discovered.
The last one is the villager below, if it's really written by the villagers, it's a little hard to say, what is it for? "Later, only a few of us old people who couldn't walk, or didn't want to go, were left in the village, and the rest of the young adults moved to the provincial capital" Thinking of the villagers, this sentence jumped into my mind.
I slapped my thigh and smiled: "By the way, the provincial capital, that is, if you want to find the next clue, you have to go to the provincial capital, and you can go to the pharmacy in the provincial capital to find it, if there is a snake repellent drug, you can go into the grass to see." Now the clues are not complete, and it is useless to think too much, I stood up, carefully looked at the outside of the hall, and after making sure that there were no snakes, I cautiously walked out of the hall.
"Luo Xi, long time no see." Just as I took the final step, a familiar voice came from behind me.
Hurriedly turned his head to look, it was a man in a black robe, his whole body was wrapped in a black robe, he couldn't see his face clearly, I could only know that his voice was very familiar to me: "Are you, the guide?" ”
The black-robed man touched his nose self-deprecatingly and smiled bitterly: "Luo Xi, it seems that you really forgot about me." ”
"It's you!" I suddenly remembered and said with a smile: "Zhu Xiao, it's you, tell me, what is the matter with me?" ”
Zhu Xiao nodded and said: "Okay, it's easy to talk to smart people, I'm here to make a deal with you:" I'll tell you how to live in this game, you can do me a favor." ”
I spread my hands and smiled: "Actually, I can find a way to live by myself, why should I help you?" ”
Zhu Xiao sneered: "Luo Xi, you are really too self-righteous, although Luo Chen is a defective product, but his strength, potential, and wisdom, he is not weaker than you at all, besides, at that time, he still has so many teammates, they all failed, do you still want to pass?" And I can tell you unequivocally that the difficulty of your game this time is at least ten times more than that of Luo Chen before! ”
I was slightly stunned, waved my hand and said, "Okay, but I'm curious, do you know how to live?" If you tell me, aren't you afraid of Lin Xuejun's pursuit? Destroy the game, he'll definitely settle accounts with you, right? ”
Zhu Xiao nodded and said: "I'm afraid, how can I not be afraid, now in the three universes, I'm afraid Lin Xuejun is the strongest, so I won't tell you the complete way to live, I will give you a hint to improve your chances of survival." ”
One percent, that is, 10%, doesn't seem like much, but it's actually a lot, the general game, the chance of survival is about 1% to 10%, and if you increase one percent, it will become 11% to 20%, and the probability of survival has doubled, which really makes me quite excited.
Tilting my head and thinking about it, I nodded and said, "Okay, but you tell me your request first, if it's too difficult, I'll choose to give up." ”
Zhu Xiao took off his cloak, his appearance startled me, the left side of his face was a normal human face, but the right side was half a scaly beast face, I don't know what kind of animal it was: "This, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhu Xiao said helplessly: "I devoured the Chaos Beast, but there is some rejection and I can't fuse it perfectly, so I need your help, I want you to help me find someone." ”
"Who?"
"Houtu!"
"The Twelve Ancestral Witches?" I thought for a while and said, "It's really not difficult to find someone, but is Houtu alive?" "No wonder they said before that I had seen a Chaos Beast, if Zhu Xiao was a Chaos Beast now, then not only had I seen it, but there were also a lot of intersections.
Zhu Xiao brought back the cloak and said with a smile: "Okay Luoxi, I don't know where Houtu is, but I can guarantee that he must still be alive, my hint to you, oh no, or rather advice, you must remember, 'When evil sits on the throne, everything needs to be shattered, unless the 366th day comes', remember, this is the key to unlocking your way to live." "With that, he disappeared in front of me. (To be continued......)
