All Chapters_Chapter 318: Qu Shang
"Don't!"
Cai Yawen's voice was sharp and harsh, and the movements in my hands couldn't help but pause, just because of this effort, Cai Zhongyong twisted his body to dodge from under the sword, retreated a few meters away and stared at us with a pair of red eyes.
I saw several black-clothed men standing next to Cai Yawen, either holding black donkey hooves or ink fountain wires in their hands, and even someone holding a pot of glutinous rice in their hands. What caught my eye the most was a one-armed old man standing in front of him, he looked thin, his left arm disappeared from the joint, and the remnant of his right hand held a peachwood sword blessed with a spell, and he looked a little energetic.
"Cai Yawen, is this your father, how can he be like this?" I stared at Cai Zhongyong and asked the question in my heart.
After Cai Yawen saw Cai Zhongyong's appearance at this moment, she was also shocked and inexplicable, and shouted one after another: "This ...... How is this possible, this is what my dad looked like more than ten years ago! ”
The one-armed old man also screamed: "What the hell is going on, is it a rejuvenation?" Big brother, what's going on with you, oh my God! ”
My heart moved, this old man actually called Cai Zhongyong is eldest brother, are they brothers?
"Roar!"
Cai Zhongyong roared in a low voice, glanced at the things in our hands with some fear, and turned around and ran to the depths of the basement.
"Oh no, don't let him run!"
I yelled, moved my legs, and chased after him. Because this basement was originally used as a place for the Cai family to detain people, it was built like a prison, and the two sides were divided into small rooms one by one, and there were iron fences.
I chased Cai Zhongyong into the deepest part of the basement and forced him into a corner to confront me. When I saw something on the ground, I couldn't help but shudder. There were a bunch of human body stumps scattered on the ground, and all that was eaten was the torso of white bones, and the torn thighs and arms, which looked like the remains left behind after being eaten by a beast.
Zombies also eat human flesh?
I feel that the world has become absurd, as we all know, zombies are a kind of existence born from the resentment of heaven and earth, not normal life forms, they will suck the essence of the blood to make themselves grow, but I have never heard of zombies eating meat, what happened to Cai Zhongyong is really bizarre to the extreme.
Cai Zhongyong couldn't avoid it this time, and rushed to do it with a howl, but I was prepared, and on the side of my foot, I flexibly walked behind him and kicked him to the ground, and Xiaobai also flew over and grabbed him fiercely.
"Don't kill him!"
Cai Yawen caught up from behind and stopped me from moving, and at the same time, several Chinese characters behind her cooperated with her, splashing glutinous rice on Cai Zhongyong's body, and suddenly the black qi scattered, and Cai Zhongyong screamed in pain. And the others even joined forces to tie up Cai Zhongyong with ink fountain wires, and finally the one-armed old man took out a talisman from his body and stuck it on Cai Zhongyong's forehead, which subdued him.
"Dad......" Cai Yawen looked at Cai Zhongyong, who was paralyzed on the ground and did not move, tears splashed in her eyes, and she wailed in a low voice.
"Miss, the fourth one...... Alas......"
The third child said to Cai Yawen in the crowd, he looked at the fourth child on the ground who had been broken into pieces of meat, with a trace of sadness on his face, and several other men also looked at each other, looking uncomfortable.
Cai Yawen raised her head and said, "I will compensate his family well, and I will never let him die in vain." ”
The third child knelt on the ground and begged Cai Yawen: "But, eldest lady, the old lady has become like this now, this is a complete monster, and the old lady was also ...... at the beginning."
"That's enough, you don't have to give me instructions on the affairs of our Cai family. He's my dad! Even if you become a zombie now, you will never be allowed to talk to me! Cai Yawen's expression became hideous, and she yelled at the third child.
I frowned when I heard it, Cai Yawen's current performance is really a little unreasonable.
"Yawen, forget it. Let's put the eldest brother back up first, I have already asked someone to invite some Taoist masters, hoping to ......" The one-armed old man Cai Zhongtang sighed, he was not optimistic about what would restore Cai Zhongyong, but he didn't want to hit Cai Yawen, so he didn't want to say much.
"Second Uncle bothered."
Cai Yawen responded to Cai Zhongtang, then turned to me and said, "Chen Zixuan, I heard that your vein has the most research on zombies and ghosts, I don't know if you can see the problem in my father?" ”
"I'll give it a try."
I waved my hand to let a few men of the Cai family retreat, and then walked in front of Cai Zhongyong and looked carefully. I raised my hand and knocked on Cai Zhongyong's skin, and a metallic sound came, this guy's skin was really like steel, and it was harder than ordinary zombies, at least not even Xiaobai's dragon claws could penetrate just now.
"Yawen, this kid is the apprentice of Jiang Chengdao you said, I think he is younger than you, is he okay?"
I heard Cai Zhongtang talking to Cai Yawen quietly, and I felt a little uncomfortable, this guy is really judging people by his appearance. However, Cai Yawen still believed in me, and explained to Cai Zhongtang, this is the one-armed old man looking at me with a trace of suspicion in his eyes.
I looked back and asked, "Was that how your dad's skin was when it first came back?" Or did it start to change later? ”
Cai Yawen thought for a while and replied: "I remember that when I first came back, the doctor at home also gave my father an infusion, and it should have been similar to ordinary people at that time." ”
"That's right, my eldest brother was unconscious at the time, and I also checked his body. It's just that then he weirdly began to molt, the skin on his body fell down layer by layer, and new skin grew back inside, and every time he molted his skin, the strength of his body would be harder, and he couldn't even poke the infusion needle into the back. We didn't understand what the situation was, so we asked some warlocks to help see it, but Liu Sanshou's turtle son actually asked us to feed human blood, damn, Lao Tzu must let him not survive, he can't die. Cai Zhongtang said, and his mouth was full of monstrous hatred for Liu Sanshou in the back.
I can't help but mourn in silence for Liu Sanshou in my heart, this guy is estimated to have fallen into the hands of the Cai family, and his future is bleak!
"Molting ......"
Xue'er's voice suddenly remembered in my mind, and her voice became excited, and she said loudly: "Chen boy, quickly ask them where the cemetery is?" ”
I was stunned, although I felt that Xue'er was acting strangely, but I didn't think much about opening my mouth and asked, "Cai Yawen, do you know the specific place of that ancient tomb?" ”
Cai Yawen opened her mouth and said: "On the Shuangliu side, the specific location should be close to Qushang Township." ”
"Qu Shangxiang...... And so it was......"
Cher said in my head, her voice changing.
I noticed something strange about her and quickly asked, "Xue'er, what the hell is going on?" Do you know what happened to Cai Zhongyong? ”
Xue'er responded: "I'm not sure about the changes in Cai Zhongyong, but it should have something to do with that old immortal guy." Huh, Tomb? What the Cai family found was probably not a cemetery at all, but the royal city of the ancient Shu Kingdom...... Qu Shang City! ”
"What? Qu Shang City! ”
I was shocked, after being in contact with the ancient Shu Kingdom and the Tsing Yi Qiang people for so long, I also have some knowledge of some of their history. This Qushang City is a well-known place name in the study of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and it is the royal capital of the ancient Shu Kingdom.
In the "History of the Road" of Luo Mi in the Song Dynasty, it was recorded that "the Shushan clan, its ancestor silkworm cong, Zongmu, Wang Qushang." Later, Luo Yu's son Luo Ping made a note and explained: "Qu Shangcheng is in the eighteenth mile east of Shuangliu County, and the capital of the Silkworm Cong clan. ”
All this shows that after the establishment of the ancient Shu Kingdom, the Silkworm Cong clan built a magnificent city in the current Shuangliu County, as the royal capital of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and the inheritor of the most brilliant civilization in the entire Shu region. It's just that later, with the fall of the ancient Shu Kingdom and the changes of the times, the traces of Qu Shangcheng gradually disappeared in the long river of history.
Now listening to Xue'er's explanation, I immediately feel that it is very reasonable, what the Cai family found is probably the ruins left by Qu Shangcheng back then, but because the changes of thousands of years have long been buried by time, I didn't expect it to be discovered by them.
I have a lot of thoughts in my heart, and when I think of the ancient Shu Kingdom, I can't help but think of the image of a middle-aged man in my mind, who usurped the throne of Emperor Du Yu and made the descendants of silkworm cong into artificial dragon veins, and he is more likely to be a strong man among zombies.
Cong Emperor Turtle Spirit!
I bit my lip, and the visions I saw in the ancient Shu altar of Qingcheng Mountain appeared in front of my eyes one by one.
"Chen Zixuan, what's wrong? Do you know something, tell me quickly! Cai Yawen saw that I was acting strangely, and hurriedly asked.
I thought about it for a while, and told her about Qu Shangcheng.
"No wonder, I felt something wasn't right in that place. How could someone bury the cemetery hundreds of meters underground, and the detection range is quite large. However, the eldest brother said that it may be the cemetery of the Shu King of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and it was buried underground because of the change in the landform, and I didn't follow it because of something in the family, and now I think that the place is indeed very likely to be Qu Shangcheng! Cai Zhongtang immediately echoed and said, looking suddenly enlightened.
"Your Cai family was born in an inverted bucket, and you must have been exposed to zombies and other things, do you think this change in Old Man Cai is the same as that of ordinary zombies? The body molts, rejuvenates, and devours flesh and blood, this situation has never been heard of, these changes must be related to what he encountered in the ruins of Qu Shang City, if you want to find a solution to the problem of Old Man Cai, I am afraid you will have to enter Qu Shang City again to find the root of the matter. ”
I looked at Cai Yawen with burning eyes, just now Xue'er actually urged me to go to the ruins of Qushang City, and asked her what was the matter, she didn't say, just urged vigorously. Based on my trust in her and my curiosity about Qu Shangcheng, I decided that it would be okay for me to go for it.
Cai Yawen was stunned, and then as if she had made up her mind, she said solemnly to me: "Okay! Then I'll take someone down once, and no matter what's in it, I'll save my dad!" ”
Cai Yawen's voice was categorical and full of undoubted firmness, which made me impressed with her, this woman's feelings for Cai Zhongyong are really deep.
"Yawen, it must be very dangerous down there, what are you going down to do. That's it, I'll go for an old man, I'm old, even if I fold it in, it's no pity, but you're different, you are the hope of our Cai family. This time, you are not allowed to go! Cai Zhongtang said loudly, rejecting Cai Yawen's words.
"Second uncle! I have to go, I've got to figure out what the hell is causing my dad to be like this! Cai Yawen covered her face with frost and retorted.
I watched the uncle and nephew start arguing, a little speechless.
At this moment, Longzhu suddenly walked up to me, pulled my sleeve and said, "Master, there is someone watching you over there." ”
Someone looking at me?
I was stunned for a moment, and turned my head to look in the direction that Longzhu was pointing, and there was a pair of eyes quietly looking at me in the darkness of the basement......
