Chapter 42: Revealing the Truth
Lin Jiajia is located in a secluded old-fashioned mansion in the mountains, although there is a courtyard flowing water in front of the back, and there is a backing mountain in the back, which is extremely superior in feng shui, but the traffic and life are actually very inconvenient. Zhao Feikong guessed that it should be because of the Lin family's corpse raising and practicing corpses, living in this kind of place is more suitable, and it will not disturb ordinary people.
The Lin family is actually not a big family, Lin Lijie's generation only has him and Lin Liqiang's two brothers, plus some cousins, there are only more than 20 people, and their Maoshan mastery has been gradually abandoned by the times today.
But they still stand tall in the warlock world, and are ranked among the "two factions and three families", which shows the power of the Lin family.
The Lin family is famous for their Maoshan corpse chasing technique, and the corpse driving is actually inextricably linked with the Miao Gu technique, which belongs to the Chu Wu culture.
Since ancient times, Chinese people have a feeling of nostalgia for their hometown, the so-called "fallen leaves return to their roots", and many people who died in other places at that time must also go home for burial and place them in ancestral graves. The family and friends of the deceased, no matter how difficult it may be, will do everything possible to bring the body back to their hometown. However, it was a long way to return home, and the transportation construction at that time was not perfect, among which the mountains were full of miasma and the road was rugged, and it was difficult for ordinary people to do it.
As a result, the industry of "corpse chasers" was born, and the Lin family also rose.
There is no strict time to chase corpses, it can be done day or night, but in order to avoid disturbing others, corpse chasers usually act at night. Regardless of the number of corpses, they usually travel in groups of two at a time.
The corpse chaser shakes the dementor bell in his hand, stuffs cinnabar into the ear, nose and mouth of the deceased, and calms the corpse with rune paper to prevent the corpse from changing, and then connects the corpses with straw ropes. Usually they bang the gong as they walk, the purpose is to warn pedestrians to avoid.
However, with the progress and development of society, the corpse chaser, like other warlocks who were once in the limelight, inevitably gradually declined and was forgotten by the people.
A few days before he came to Lin's house, Lin Liqiang only showed up in a hurry, said hello and disappeared. Zhao Feikong and Fu Fengyu had a bad impression of him, and the three of them hardly talked.
Lin Lijie was very thoughtful, first took Ming Yu to visit the Maoshan Taoist Temple, and then took the three of them to soak in the hot springs, even Zhao Feikong couldn't find any fault.
Zhao Feikong actually had his own considerations when he agreed to come, and he always felt that the affairs of the Lin family seemed to be related to the ghost world.
First the master was killed, and then the Shi family and the Miao Gu faction had accidents one after another, and there were ghosts in them. When he first joined the association, Chen Jie also said that there was no abnormality in the "two factions and three families", but now it is obvious that the ghost world has extended its hand to the entire warlock world. This time, Lin Lijie's secretive attitude confirmed Zhao Feikong's speculation.
So, he had to come. Perhaps, in this way, you can really get in touch with the conspiracy of the ghost world and find out the truth about the murder of the master.
At night, Fu Fengyu, Mingyu and Lin Lizhuo went to play and have not come back.
Lin Liqiang took the initiative to find Zhao Feikong, and his attitude was much more polite than the last time he met at the door of the association.
"Are you used to living here?"
"It was good, nothing unaccustomed, everything was adaptable. Zhao Feikong replied.
"That's good, that's good......" Lin Liqiang rubbed his hands, obviously having something to say.
Zhao Feikong stared at him and didn't speak.
He hesitated for a moment, then said bluntly, "Hmm...... I asked Lijie to bring you here, because we wanted to ask Master Mingyu for a favor. ”
Zhao Feikong knew that this was the case, and he said cautiously: "We are very grateful for your hospitality, but Mingyu is still young after all, can I ask him first, what happened to the Lin family?"
"You should have heard that our family is famous for raising and practicing corpses. Moreover, the ancestor once refined a flying zombie, and it was under this house. Lin Liqiang said as he observed his reaction.
"So what?" Zhao Feikong heard him say that there was a flying stiff body under the house he was living in now, and he inevitably felt a little strange, as if a cold wind suddenly blew on his back.
Lin Liqiang opened the conversation box and said everything about everything: "But that Feijian has been cultivated for thousands of years, and he has opened his spiritual wisdom, and it is becoming more and more difficult to suppress. Every few years, there was a riot, and it was only our father and son who worked together to suppress it. But since the last time my father was accidentally injured by Fei, it was only my brother who had to take on this task. But in recent years, the Flying Zombie riots have become more and more frequent, and it is already very reluctant to rely on the two of us. ”
"Could it be that Fei Fei is going to ...... again" Zhao Feikong was really worried.
"That's right, I originally planned to go to Shaolin Temple to ask the monks to come over to help, but I didn't expect Lijie to meet Master Mingyu in Miao Village. I inquired, he is the presiding disciple of the closed door, although he is young, but his cultivation is profound. So after discussing it, we decided to take the liberty of inviting you here. ”
Zhao Feikong always thought that Ming Yu was just an ordinary Shaolin disciple with a relatively high talent, so he never asked who his master was, but he didn't expect that he would have a great background. But Lin Liqiang's secret investigation still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He suddenly remembered his guess: "By the way, have you ever been a strange person from the Lin family?"
"Strange people?" Lin Liqiang didn't understand what he meant.
"Yes, for example...... Mysterious and secretive, or black aura lingering all over your body?"
"When you say that, my father did receive such a person before, it seems that his name is ......"
"Liyan!" Zhao Feikong exclaimed, he didn't expect to be guessed by himself.
"Yes, it seems to be. It was at night, and my father and I were the only ones in the house. The man had a weird appearance, so I was still a little impressed. But when he came, he closed the door and talked to his father, and I don't know what they were talking about. ”
"Then can you take me to meet your father, this matter is not simple, Liyan is a person from the ghost world. If, I guessed correctly, this is most likely a conspiracy in the ghost world. He has appeared in both Shijia and Miao Village, and every time he appears, it will bring disaster. Zhao Feikong was already impatient to ask clearly.
"But...... My father died a few months ago. ”
"Ahh......h
"According to you, this matter is indeed very strange, and it must be taken seriously. Lin Liqiang looked solemn, "I'll go back and ask my family to see if they have any information worth referring to." ”
Lin Liqiang went back after speaking.
But this conversation completely changed Zhao Feikong's view of him, and now he is very different from the first time they met, I wonder if it has something to do with his father's death.
The influence of a father on a child, Zhao Feikong felt it from the master. The death of the master made him grow up all of a sudden, and he became an adult in an instant. Perhaps, Lin Liqiang has experienced such a transformation and growth.
This suddenly made Zhao Feikong feel more sympathetic to him.
