The old man said with a grim face, "Hehe, it seems that among you, there are really masters, even the ginseng fruit can know, that's right, it is this ginseng fruit that has allowed the old man to live until now." ”

"You must be very lucky to be able to live forever, right?" Jenny had the courage to interject.

"Hahaha" he looked up to the sky and laughed, but this hoarse laughter was not a very smug laugh, but a very helpless, even a little involuntary laughter.

"Man cannot go against the sky, birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature, once a person is immortal, he will be punished by God." As he spoke, the old man stretched out his hand.

When I saw his hands, I was so frightened that I almost couldn't speak, his hands were like chicken feet, the back of the whole hand was wrinkled, not to mention, the thin was more scary than the skin and bones, but the nails on his hands were seven or eight centimeters long, and the color of the nails was actually black, which made people shudder.

"Oh my God, it's just horrible." Jenny whispered behind me.

"How did you end up like this?" I only heard Jiao Ba say that once a person goes against the sky, he will be punished by heaven, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

The old man shook his head and said, "It's just strange that people are greedy for a while, God's punishment for us is that we need blood, and only blood can maintain us from aging, even if we can live forever, but if we don't suck blood, we will become what the old man is now." ”

This old man's words, I can't believe it, this is somewhat similar to the state of the legendary vampire, but it is very different from the vampire, it seems that this immortality is really not a good thing, I can see from his expression that he seems to regret being immortal.

"If you can live forever, why harm others? All the evil spirits on this island, as well as the so-called curse of the undead, are also your masterpieces? ”

The old man closed his eyes as if he remembered, and said, "That's right, everything on this island was arranged by me, but the old man didn't hurt anyone, you had to go to the island yourself, but the old man didn't force you to do it." ”

"I've been cursed by the undead on this island, what will happen to me?" I asked calmly.

"It's up to you to make it." The old man slowly opened his eyes, and seemed calmer than me.

I crouched down, exposed the black palm prints on my feet, and said, "Look at this palm print, I don't want this thing to be with me all the time, can you help me lift this curse?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "Everyone has his life, whether you can unlock this curse or not, you can only rely on yourself, the old man can't help it." ”

"What do you mean by that? You designed this curse, and now you're telling me you can't break it? Are you kidding me? I beg you, old man, help me untie it, I don't want to die young yet. "I was a little angry, but in the end I stopped it, and now is not the time to mess with him.

The old man sighed and said, "Not every poison has an antidote, the old man can't help you, but you don't have to worry too much, the curse is like a disease, it may not need to be treated, and you will be fine, but once it gets sick, it will also make you miserable." ”

"You killed me, why did you design it if you couldn't figure it out? You said that you didn't hurt anyone, but where did the dead bodies under the mountain come from? "I'm so angry that I'm about to point fingers, this old guy, I really want to stab him.

"Do you know why the old man did this?" He stared at me with wide eyes, startled at me, and quickly shook his head to show that he didn't understand.

"Well, then let the old man tell you, hundreds of years ago, the old man was a monk and a monk......"

It turns out that all things are really not what I could have predicted, hundreds of years ago, that is, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, this old man was just a monk and a Taoist, not a so-called wizard.

Later, he fell in love with a woman in the village, and the two were in love, but after all, the Taoist priest is a monk, as long as he is a monk, he should not have these earthly distractions, but people often can't control their emotions.

After they cheated a few times, the woman was pregnant, and the matter naturally couldn't be hidden, and then it was known by the villagers, and the woman and the Taoist priest were arrested, and the root of the matter was here, feudal society, a feudal person who had long been feudal, the woman was pregnant before marriage, and was regarded as an ominous thing by the pedantic villagers.

When the Taoist priest learned the news, he went completely crazy, angry, made him lose his mind, he went evil in order to take revenge, and then he used evil magic to kill the whole village overnight, avenging the deep revenge of this sea of blood.

But at that time, he also knew that he was guilty, he did not choose to escape, but went to the yamen to surrender, but needless to say, he was sentenced to death, but he did not die, on the day of the execution, he was actually rescued, with the simplest method of dropping the bag, someone executed the death sentence for him.

And he survived by luck, in the words of this old man, the person who saved him at that time, he always called him an adult, in order to repay this adult for saving his life, he chose to follow all the way to the end.

Later, this adult led his team to the sea several times, and the Taoist priest followed him all the way, in fact, when he said this, I already knew who the adult he was talking about was.

Although he didn't say the name of this adult, I could easily imagine that in the early Ming Dynasty, there was no second person other than Zheng He who could go to sea several times to lead the voyage, so when he said this, I was already very sure that this adult was Zheng He.

And this island was accidentally discovered when Zheng He went to sea for the fourth time, and this island at that time was not what it is now, but it was beautiful with beautiful mountains and rivers, birds and flowers, which can be said to be a paradise on earth, and a paradise that cannot be found on land.

Zheng He fell in love with this place at that time, and then he left some people to live here, both men and women, who lived happily and comfortably on this island, passing on their ancestry from generation to generation, and living without disputes and wars from generation to generation.

Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus discovered this place when they went to sea and began to lead troops to attack it, and the Ming Dynasty people who lived here at that time in order to protect their homeland.

In this war, both sides almost suffered countless casualties, until all the Qing soldiers who landed on the island were killed and their ships were destroyed.

At this time, almost all the Ming Dynasty people who lived on the island were killed, and this bloody war led to the destruction of the entire island.

It's just that at that time, he did not participate in this war, and the people who lived here thought that he was dead, so a mausoleum was built for him, and no one knew that he was immortal, because this war only happened a hundred years after the Ming Dynasty people lived on the island.

He was on the mountain, witnessed all this, until the end of the war, he came down from the mountain, these dead Ming and Qing dynasties are countless, the corpses are all over the island, almost a river of blood, the original beautiful island, looks like hell on earth.

At that time, most of the people of the Ming Dynasty who died, he did not know the names, but in order to commemorate these dead people, he buried them at the foot of the mountain, which is the large cemetery found under the hillside on the left after we went to the island.

At that time, they didn't have names, so they had to use numbers instead, the first person to be buried, they used the number one, and the tenth person was the number ten, and they kept going down until all the dead Ming Dynasty people were buried, so we would see on the tombstone, there was no name on it except for the number, all of which was done by this Taoist priest.

As for the corpses of the Qing soldiers, on the other side of the hillside, he dug a huge deep pit and threw all these corpses into the deep pit, like a mass grave, and it was over when it was filled with earth.

This is also the reason why so many dead corpses of the Qing Dynasty climbed out under the hillside on the right when the corpses changed later, so as soon as the dead corpses of the two sides met, they would continue to fight to the death, all of which stemmed from the bloody battle before.

In fact, the entire island at that time was full of the breath of death, which is why after we went to the island, we couldn't see the sun on the island at all, it was really the same as what Jiao Ba said, it was because there were too many dead people and the yin qi was too heavy.

When the normal bloody battle was over, the Taoist priest realized the seriousness of the matter, and in order not to let others land on the island, he would rather go against the sky and use evil magic to turn the entire island into hell.

Those dementor grasses, the souls under the black water, the red monster insects, and the terrifying spirit lizard all originated from his evil magic, and it was he who used the curse of the undead to turn the entire island into its current state, with the purpose of preventing anyone from landing on the island again.

After he finished saying these words, I understood, but I still had a lot of questions that I didn't understand, "I see, then your family, it should be Zheng He, during the Ming Dynasty, there was no one else who could lead troops to sea several times except him." ”

After I finished speaking, the old man just looked at me with a strange gaze, and did not answer, and I asked again, "But I don't understand, why did the Qing soldiers attack this island?" There is no gold or silver treasure here, is it just because of the beautiful mountains and rivers here? ”

"This is not something you should know, what the old man can say, everything has already been said, you better leave quickly." The old man stroked his beard again, but looked away.

"Hehe, even if you don't say it, in fact, I can guess that the reason why the Qing soldiers attacked here is because there is some secret here? For example, Zheng He's mausoleum is buried here? ”
