Chapter Forty-Eight: The Most Vicious Revenge
The Mongol Iron Horsemen had built a vast empire, but the glory of the Mongol Empire and the iron hooves they were most proud of had one thing in common: they were very fast, the empire was built quickly, and then it fell and fell apart quickly......
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the Mongols' qi was exhausted, among the Han army in the Central Plains, Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng and the power they represented had the climate to win the world, and Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng also "ascended the throne and became emperor" early.
It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang is the one who laughs the most, he defeated Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng respectively, Chen Youliang died in the chaos after the defeat, Zhang Shicheng was captured by Zhu Yuanzhang and died, and then, Zhu Yuanzhang fought horizontally, and in one fell swoop, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty who remained in the Central Plains were expelled to Mobei, and established his own Zhu Ming Dynasty, a regime that lasted for nearly three hundred years.
When he heard that Zhang Madness and the Immortal Daoist were the heirs of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang respectively, Xi Cheng was only slightly shocked in his heart, but it was not difficult to understand or accept. Because according to Zhu Yuanzhang's character of retribution, I would rather bear the world than the world, and I capture the heirs of my two rivals and refine them into living corpses to endure hundreds of years of suffering, which is really in line with Lao Zhu's style of doing things.
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the taxes in the land of Wu Yue were much higher than those in other places, and the complete implementation of a punitive nature of taxation, and many times from Suzhou, where Zhang Shicheng's lair was laid, to other regions, but also to punish the immigration policy.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the common people who have supported Zhang Shicheng, is so resentful, so the resentment towards Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang is naturally even stronger.
"Hehe, in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to Ling Chi me and Chen Dao, but Liu Ji told Zhu Yuanzhang. Although Chen Dao and I are not really of the Son of Heaven bloodline, but after all, both of our fathers have ascended the throne and become emperors, and their bodies are more or less contaminated with a little imperial spirit, if we are used to refine living corpses, the possibility of success will be very high, and he also told Zhu Yuanzhang that after refining us into living corpses, we can serve the Zhu family for hundreds or even thousands of years, which is far more severe than the punishment of directly Ling Chi, and then. Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, and ordered Liu Ji to refine the three of us into living corpses, and then guard them near Fengmen Village forever. ”
Zhang Qi said in a very flat tone, and he didn't know if it was because the hatred in his heart had been wiped out for too long, or if this hatred had already penetrated into the bone marrow and didn't need to be expressed externally.
Xi Cheng's brows furrowed slightly, he grabbed a number in the arrogant words, and asked, "Three?" ”
When entering the Sealed Gate Village, the only living corpses Xi Cheng encountered were Zhang Madness and the Immortal Dao Man. As for the zombie baby boy under the blood-colored vines, it was a zombie, not a living corpse, but Zhang Qiang said that the three of them were refined into living corpses. That means that when the undead Daoist has been abolished and has become a zombie without a sense and his arrogance has been controlled and tortured by himself, there is still a hidden living corpse. Watching it all around?
Xu Fan and Yao Wu also understood the meaning of Xi Cheng's question, and the two of them began to become more vigilant than before, because they couldn't tell when a living corpse would come out again.
"That's right. It was three people, guarding this closed village, and there were three living corpses. Zhang Mad squinted at Xi Cheng, who was clasping his neck, he wanted to see some panic in Xi Cheng's eyes, but Xi Cheng's eyes were still like a pool of ice lake water, extremely calm, without the slightest ripple.
Also, he is so powerful, even if there are a few more living corpses, it is estimated that he has the confidence to knock them all down like defeating me, Zhang Qiang thought in his heart.
Then, his arrogant eyes looked at Xu Fan, who was standing opposite him, and said, "Looking at the incomparably conspicuous black color on your Yin Hall, the dead qi on your body, and the rich filthy aura surrounding you, it seems that you have also used that glass house and used that method of substitution for death." ”
Xu Fan nodded, for this, he felt that there was nothing to hide, and there was no need to hide anything.
"Hehe, too, you have obtained the inheritance of Liu Ji's old thing, naturally there will be a way to make up for your yang longevity, and there will also be a way to get rid of the filthy qi on your body, but that kind of substitution for death is originally designed and created by Liu Ji according to the characteristics of living corpses like us.
After all, these things like Yang Shou and Yin De are dispensable things for living corpses like us, it's not too much to have, and it doesn't matter if you don't have it, but for the living, using this kind of substitution for death is a very serious disadvantage. You are lucky enough to have a way to solve these drawbacks, if someone else uses it, your life span will be less than half a year, and after you die, you will kill all your relatives and friends, and let their lives die for you! ”
"Don't you think you're off topic?" Xi Cheng tightened his arm slightly, and there was a sound of bone friction on his neck, and it seemed that Xi Cheng's strength had completely pressed against Zhang Mad's bones.
But fortunately, Zhang Qiang didn't have to breathe, and he didn't feel that uncomfortable, but he knew that if his body was broken by Xi Chengle because of this, his identity as a living corpse would also come to an end, and he would become a sane zombie like the undead Daoist today, which was the end and end that he absolutely couldn't bear, and he had escaped for hundreds of years, wasn't it just to escape and become that kind of thing?
"Didn't you notice, that kind of small glass house, why are there three? You must know that Lu Dao can only be used once in a lifetime, Chen Dao and me, two seats are enough, how can there be a third one? The third one is actually for the third of us. She was a Mongolian princess back then, but in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, she still couldn't fall well, Zhu Yuanzhang spent most of his life fighting with the Mongols, even after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he also sent troops to attack Mobei several times, it can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang's hatred for the Mongols, a Mongolian princess, do you say he will be willing to give up?
How good, the descendants of the old opponent were all refined into living corpses by him and guarded in the closed door village, taking care of the home for his old Zhu family, hehe, really, how good. Zhang Crazy laughed miserably.
"The third living corpse, where is she now?" Xu Fan asked.
"She's no longer in the closed door village, she used her own way to get out of here many years ago."
"Even the Manchu Qing Great Array couldn't stop her?"
"It's not in the way."
"Then why was she able to get out of the city, but you two didn't?"
"Because, the price she paid was too great, because she gave up her identity as a living corpse, because she erased her sanity by herself, and in this way of almost completely abandoning herself, she walked out of Fengmen Village, out of the magic circle arranged by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, she should have walked to the outside world. And Chen Dao and I are the most afraid of this kind of zombie end, so she can get out, but Chen Dao and I can't use this method to get out, in fact, when she walks out, she is no longer her. ”
Hearing this, that picture suddenly appeared in Xi Cheng's mind, fifty years ago, in the closed door village in the real world, Xi Cheng once saw a female zombie, and the female zombie caused a lot of turmoil at that time, and even asked the government to send an army to arrest it. It seems that the female zombie is the Mongolian princess of the year, one of the three living corpses in the closed door village. No wonder she always gave herself a feeling that she had just degenerated, it turned out that she had really degenerated from a living corpse to a zombie.
Wait, is this "Zombie" world connected to the real world? Isn't that it?
Soon, Xi Cheng then quickly dispelled this idea, because from the arrogant narration, it can be heard that the female living corpse left Fengmen Village more than a hundred years ago, and Xi Cheng only met the female zombie fifty years ago in the real world, even if they are really alone, but this also illustrates a problem, this "zombie" world and the real world are not completely parallel, aside from other dangers, it can be said that it is very tricky to say that the unequal flow of time is very tricky, and, If you try to "smuggle" out of here, you will probably be wiped out by the Lord God, right?
It's not worth the risk.
"There is another question, I want to ask you, what is hidden in this closed door village that makes the Manchus so frightened?"
Xi Cheng asked, this is also a matter that makes Xi Cheng very puzzled, what did Zhu Yuanzhang let Liu Bowen hide in Fengmen Village, which made the Manchu Qing who won the world terrified, and even did not hesitate to let the regent of the emperor's uncle at that time end his life by committing suicide and then took the initiative to be refined into zombies to suppress here.
Zhang opened his mouth arrogantly, but he smiled bitterly after the most reluctant: "Actually, I don't know the Dao, I really don't know the Dao, Chen Dao and I, the woman, the three of us, in fact, it's just because we have some imperial energy, so Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Liu Ji to refine into a living corpse to guard the Fengmen Village, as for what Zhu Yuanzhang let Liu Ji's guy bury in the Fengmen Village, the three of us really don't know, because we are not qualified to know the Dao." However, Liu Ji once lied to us that he would inherit it to us in the future, but it was obvious that Liu Ji had deceived us, and he probably just wanted to give the three of us a thought, a thought that could survive hundreds or even thousands of years of loneliness. (To be continued......)
