Chapter 602: The Living Dead
Seeing that the sun was already in the west, the thin man sighed and said, "This formation has no size. As long as you persist for a day and a night, you will be considered passed. ”
The abbot asked sensitively, "What is after the pass?" Can you get to your clan's land? ”
The thin man shook his head and said with some embarrassment, "Not yet." ”
The abbot clapped his hands: "Sure enough, I already knew that this would happen." Then he patted the thin man on the shoulder, and said with some sadness: "What else is the matter?" Say it all, right? Even if we let that die, we will die clearly. ”
The thin man opened his mouth, as if he didn't know what to say. Finally, he made up his mind and said, "The place where the living live is the city. Where the dead stayed, was the coffin. ”
The abbot nodded: "There is no need to repeat this kind of nonsense that three-year-old children know." ”
The thin man ignored the abbot's unkindness. He said, "Our land is in the middle of this desert. But his position is not fixed. Therefore, even if outsiders are lucky enough to pass through the Great Array, they will not be able to find it. ”
Fang Zhang asked, "What does this mean?" ”
The thin man said: "Originally, the clan land was a city - the soul of the world reincarnation can find that city according to the map. Later, it was difficult to continue the pilgrimage, in order to protect the clan land from outsiders. We began to wander the land. Every day is walking, in other words, every day is in a different place. ”
At this time, even the gentleman, who had been very silent, couldn't help but say: "Young man, are you playing with us?" We've come so far and you've told me you don't know where your land is. ”
The thin man looked at us who were angry, shook his head gently, and said, "It's not difficult to know where the clan land is, but the difficult thing is that it's the process in between." ”
Neither of us spoke, but looked at the thin man and motioned for him to continue.
The thin man said, "There will be a desert ahead. Under the yellow sand, I don't know how many dry bones were buried. ”
I nodded: "There are many places here that are ancient battlefields, and it is not surprising that the yellow sand is buried. ”
The thin man snorted, and then said, "If there is grassland, there will naturally be cattle and sheep." Where there are rivers, there will naturally be ships. There are countless bones under this yellow sand. In this place, the corpse refiner was born. ”
We were taken aback and blurted out, "What is a corpse?" ”
The thin man said: "To refine the corpse is to bring the dead corpse back to life. Of course, not really come to life, but just become a walking corpse. ”
"Thousands of years ago, the number of corpse refining techniques was very popular here. It was first spread among the people, and then to the nobility. The person who invented this method may be a wife who misses her deceased husband, or a warrior's mother. They don't know how many generations of hard work and how many failures they have gone through to finally get their loved ones back on their feet. These living dead cannot speak and have no memory, but they can walk, sit and lie down. Those who have lost loved ones look at them and can relieve the pain of lovesickness. ”
Later, these techniques were improved by several masters. The nobles began to quietly form an army. These armies are made entirely of dead corpses and are controlled by corpse refiners. The corpse has no pain, is absolutely loyal, fights and will bite you unless you chop it into powder, even if it only has one mouth left. ”
"Such an army was built quietly. But it didn't have time to be sent to the battlefield. The corpse controllers were too confident in their methods to have any idea that one day the corpses would lose control. As a result, these small countries disappeared into history overnight. Neither man nor woman, old or young, survived. ”
As I listened to the thin man's story, I shuddered at the thought of the city's shouts and blood everywhere.
The thin man said, "Later, after all, the news of these living dead came out. The surrounding small countries, where everyone was in danger, finally united to strangle these living dead. As originally expected, the combat power of these dead people is several times that of the living. These small countries have finally won the victory after paying several heavy prices. ”
"Everyone thought that the corpse controller had completely disappeared. The living dead have also been completely wiped out, which is not the case. They are still there, but they have been subdued by my people. ”
The abbot swallowed and foamed, and said with palpitations: "Thin man, do you mean to say that these dead corpses are on the way to your clan's land?" ”
The thin man nodded: "On the way to go." ”
The abbot wailed, "My mother." Then he squatted on the ground with his face covered.
Wushuang said: "No matter how powerful these corpses are, after all, they are just ordinary people, with our strength, they shouldn't be able to stop us, right?" ”
The thin man nodded: "Naturally, they can't stop us." But there is a dilemma in this matter. It's that we can't kill them. ”
We were surprised and asked, "Why?" ”
The thin man said, "Because they are the only ones who know where the clan land is." ”
The thin man looked at us in shocked eyes and continued to explain, "I have just said that my people, for thousands of years, have been wandering here. In the beginning, it was the manipulators who migrated the corpses. Later, the sacred stone was discovered, and most of the people were killed and injured, and they finally abandoned the clan land. fled to the Central Plains. The corpses of the clansmen of all generations were packed in coffins. Carried by these corpses, they continued to wander in the yellow sand. So in other words, those coffins are our clan land. ”
I imagined the scene of the dead body carrying the coffin in my mind, and I couldn't help but say silently: "What a sin." ”
The abbot said: "Thin man, things don't seem to be as complicated as you say, let's find the so-called corpses, and then kill them all and snatch the coffin back?" ”
The thin man glanced at the abbot as if he was looking at an idiot, and then said, "First of all, those dead bodies are very numerous, after all, they are made up of the population of several small countries. No matter how few people in these small countries are, there are always tens of thousands of people. If you want to kill them all, I'm afraid it won't be easy. I guess you only need to kill one and you'll be besieged. Moreover, not all dead bodies carry coffins. Sometimes, even if you kill all the dead bodies, you may not find the coffin. ”
The abbot asked helplessly, "Then what do you say?" ”
The thin man shook his head bluntly: "I don't know. ”
The abbot was anxious: "You don't know? How could you not know about the affairs of your people? ”
Mrs. Zhang asked, "Is it because these memories have not been recovered, so you don't know?" ”
The thin man shook his head: "At that time, the people in the clan were almost dead, and the clansmen only cared about fleeing to the Central Plains, and they didn't have time to pack those coffins. Therefore, today's situation is just an accident, and since it is an accident, no one has thought of a way to solve it in advance. ”
Zhang Yuan frowned and thought for a while, and said, "There are no absolutes in everything. Even if it's an accident, there must be a way. ”
Mrs. Zhang suddenly said, "I will make a puppet with my soul." If these dead bodies can be manipulated by me, then it will be much easier for us to do things. ”
We listened to Mrs. Zhang's words, but we were not excited. Because everyone knows that a puppet made of souls is too far behind a dead corpse.
Wushuang said: "I remember the demon path back then, it seems that it can also manipulate corpses. ”
I nodded: "That's right, the demon Dao can not only manipulate corpses, but also the living, the thin Taoist back then, wasn't he manipulated for a long time?" ”
The thin man said: "The way the demon Dao manipulates people, I remember that it seems to be a charm, right?" ”
We all nodded. The thin man said: "It's a pity that the spell of the Central Plains has never been transmitted to the Western Regions. The corpses here are probably not manipulated by spells. What's more, thousands of dead corpses, if you rely on drawing symbols, what kind of monkey year and horse month do you have to draw? ”
The thin man's words made us worry again.
At this time, the red sun fell in the west, and the sky gradually darkened.
The thin man said, "When you walk here for a while, if you come across those dead bodies, try not to kill them." After the refining of the corpse control, they already have a simple mind, once they are against us, things may be very troublesome. ”
