Chapter 24: The Ghost People

There are two kinds of ghosts, one is born in the ghost realm, born in the soul refining pool or under the soul bagpipes, and the soul is attached to a corpse or skeleton at will, becoming a zombie or skeleton; This kind of newborn ghost people have no thinking, they are confused, and they are sent at will. After a long period of nascent age, some will slowly develop some sapience, zombies are more likely to develop sapience than skeletons, and gargoyles are almost impossible. After having spiritual wisdom, the ghost people will be recruited by the lord and become ghost pawns. The treatment of ghost pawns is much better than that of ghost people, and a ghost pawn can have one or two ghost people to serve. After working for a long time, if you haven't died, you will become a ghost knight. They can get beast spirit mounts, get a certain amount of armament, and lead a considerable number of ghost pawns to plunder the things necessary for the life of the ghost people, such as sulfur and ice mushrooms. Ghost people, ghost pawns, and even ghost knights are the names given to them by the living, while they themselves call themselves the undead.

There is also a type of immigration, who crossed the two boundary monuments from the yang world to settle in the ghost realm. They live a hard life in the Ghost Domain, providing souls and corpses for the Ghost Domain. In times of war, they can also be exploited and engaged in some dangerous work. Such as collecting brimstone or ice mushrooms for the lord's ghost soldiers to plunder - they call it harvesting, usually once a year. Just because you have a harvest doesn't mean you can get through the year in peace. Because most of the ghost people who immigrate to the ghost domain can only survive in the realm of Sanzhi, and this kind of place, there are usually two or three harvests a year, each lord will come to harvest once, and if they can't hand over something, they will take a certain number of people, and bring them to the soul refining pool to refine into corpses for the soul to use, and the soul will be washed away from all memories, and then attached to the body to become a new original ghost people.

These two people, the tall and thin one is the person from the corpse refining gate, who is afraid of death, and he will say everything when he is frightened; The second devil is not afraid of anything, he is not afraid of death or pain. In his words, living in this kind of place, even the aboriginal ghost people are not as good, and they can only do some things that the aboriginal ghost people are unwilling to do, and they rely on it for a living, and they are called ghost slaves.

"I'm not afraid to die, but I'm afraid of you?" the dwarf man roared.

"Yo, what a man. Lu Jingzhi shouted, "Heroes respect heroes, and we won't torture you today." But you have to know that don't treat us like soft persimmons. Otherwise......" he rolled his eyes, "I'll torture that tall and thin man." ”

"Don't!" the tall and thin man cried out like a pig when he heard it, "Master, young master, this is not fair, no, no, you can spare me, I am useful, I can make him speak, I will let him say whatever you want to know." ”

"Really?" Lu Jingzhi took out a glow stick, walked up to him, and said, "Open your mouth for me." The thin and tall corpse refining disciple obediently opened his mouth, Lu Jingzhi put the glow stick in his mouth, looked around, and said, "You have a good tooth, and you haven't filled your teeth yet." If we ask something and he can't answer it, he will pull out a tooth from you, do you think it is feasible?" He had seen these episodes when he was watching some war movies, and when he said it at this time, he was naturally pretending to be extremely vicious.

The corpse refining disciple was shocked, but he didn't dare to speak, for fear of biting the glow stick to pieces, but at this time, he nodded naturally unwillingly, shook his head but didn't dare, so he had to snort a few times, indicating that he had something to say.

Lu Jingzhi pulled out the glow stick, signaled to the corpse refining disciple to say something quickly, and the corpse refining disciple was not verbose, and said: "This young master, my corpse refining sect has an old relationship with their lord, and the life and death of his village are in my hands, as long as I let him say something, he doesn't dare not say it." ”

The short man snorted, but did not dare to refute it. He came out to use the corpse refining gate as a mud leg, but also to protect the families near the left from being harvested. If he dares not to be afraid, then at least he must have the ability to kill this corpse refining disciple, otherwise as long as he can go back and flatter a few words, the lord is likely to send troops to collect the bodies of these families to refine zombies.

Lu Jingzhi walked to Zhang Limin's side with a smile and said, "Brother Limin, if you have something to ask, although this thin one is cunning, he is not frightened; Presumably, the two supervised each other, and neither dared to tell lies. If one of them told a lie, I pulled out the thin man's teeth. The last sentence was said quite loudly, deliberately for the corpse refining disciple to hear. When he squinted, sure enough, the thin man looked panicked.

Zhang Limin felt that Lu Jingzhi's child was indeed an elf and eccentric, I really didn't know how he grew up, he could have so many ghost ideas in his heart, no wonder the old man Dai of Qianmen valued him so much. He smiled and thanked Lu Jingdao, walked up to the short man's side, squatted down and stared into his eyes and asked, "I don't understand, what are you trying to do here?"

"What's the picture?" the short man smiled wryly, raised his eyes to the sky, and was silent for a while. Lu Jingzhi was furious when he saw it, thinking that he would not answer, so he found pliers from his backpack and was about to walk over to the thin man, but the thin man's eyes showed a look of despair. Suddenly, I heard the short man say: "If you are not forced to do so, who will leave your hometown? My ancestor came in during the Yellow Nest Rebellion, and has been a ghost slave for generations. For more than 1,000 years, only a few families have been killed, and some people will die every year when the sulfur is mined, and some people will be arrested if they can't pay the annual harvest. If you want to say anything, you just want to leave the chaotic world. ”

Zhang Liyuan listened and asked Lu Jingzhi in a low voice: "What does it mean to live at the end of your life?"

Lu Jingzhi rolled his eyes back and said, "It means old death." He is saying that none of them will live to old age and die, and they will all die sideways. ”

Zhang Liyuan asked again: "What is horizontal death?"

Lu Jingzhi replied disdainfully, and asked the short man, "Why don't you run?" The world outside has been peaceful for many years, and you would have run out long ago if you wanted to. ”

The short man shook his head and said, "In the rebellion at the end of the Tang Dynasty, we ran here, and some people were indeed unbearable and fled with their families. In the troubled times at the end of the Song Dynasty, the whole family was slaughtered, and only one or two children fled back here. After the Yuan Dynasty pacified the world, the Mongols treated the Han people with cruelty, how different was it from a ghost pawn? Although the Ming Dynasty was a Han world, the emperor killed indiscriminately and punished the nine tribes at every turn. The Qing Dynasty was again dominated by foreign races in the Central Plains, and there were several massacres of cities. Although I don't go out, I travel to the world, and I have often heard of troubled times, rather than throwing myself into troubled times, it is better to live a life and death here, but not to extinguish the species. ”

Lu Jingzhi asked, "Then why don't you resist?"

The short man said: "There are only these few families in a village, what do you want to resist? Besides, what will you do after resisting, will you be the king of the mountain?" In addition to the thick self-deprecation, there was also a trace of disdain, perhaps because he felt that these living people would eventually become ghost slaves.

Zhang Limin then asked, "What is the purpose of bringing this girl here?"

The short man glanced at the tall and thin man, and the tall and thin man didn't want him to speak, but when he saw Lu Jingzhi taking a pair of vices and pointing straight at his mouth, he was shocked and hurriedly said: "If people ask anything, they will answer quickly, and if you don't say anything, I will suffer." "As long as you don't say it yourself, the door rules can't be punished on yourself, and the thin and tall man is very calculating.

The short man said, "What are you afraid of, in the end it is nothing more than death." Turning to Zhang Limin, he said: "I heard that the Corpse Refining Gate robbed her here because there is extreme yin qi here, and she is the body of the four pillars with the same fate, which can be refined into yin evil." It would be best if she could attract her grandfather by the way, her grandfather is not small, and it can be of great use if he catches it. ”

I heard that these people were going to refine their granddaughter into a yin, how could the old man Dai have good thoughts in his heart, anger rose from his heart, and evil was born to the side of the guts, and he took out the divine thunder talisman in the palm of Qianmen from his arms, and he wanted to shoot it on these two people. Fortunately, Xuan'er was quick and stopped him. Zhang Limin also hurriedly said: "Seniors, don't kill them, I still have something to ask." ”

Old man Dai also figured out that he shouldn't be in a hurry to kill people at this time, so he took advantage of his granddaughter's stop, and glared at him, and said: "If you have something to ask, if any of them are dishonest, grandpa, I will burn him first." ”

Zhang Limin asked, "Why is the place where we came in blocked by stones? Do you know how to get back to the outside of the well?" He called the police before he came in, and although the police officers should think that they were down the well when they saw the soft rope by the well, if they couldn't find the mechanism, they were afraid that they would return in vain.

The short man shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, you can ask him." He looked at the tall, thin man. The tall and thin man hurriedly said, "I do have a way to get out, but you can't tie me up, otherwise I won't be able to get out if I want to." ”

Zhang Limin was right when he thought about it, and he thought that his kung fu was hard enough, so he motioned to Lu Jingzhi to untie it for him, and suddenly heard the old man Dai say: "Wait, this person can't solve it." ”

Lu Jingzhi's feelings for the old man Dai at this time can only be expressed in words, obedience, and four words, it turned out that he just wanted to learn his thousand skills, so as to make a fortune at the gambling table, and now he wants to take the opportunity to get close to Xuan'er, where can there be anything to contradict him?

Old man Dai said: "First find out what restrictions they put on Xuan'er, lest we be controlled by others as soon as we relax him." "In the style of the corpse refining gate, it is impossible to put nothing on your granddaughter.

"Say it quickly!" Lu Jingzhi listened to Old Man Dai's words, and was secretly glad that he didn't let people go too early, and secretly annoyed that he didn't expect that his future senior sister would be manipulated by someone. Angry in his heart, he kicked the tall and thin man a few times.

"Say, I say. "The tall and thin man got up," the girl put a corpse cocoon in the back of the heart, wrapped it in ice wax, and refilled it every 12 hours, otherwise the corpse worm will be broken by the body temperature hatching cocoon, and the adult worm will come out and burrow into her body. ”

Lu Jingzhi was furious when he heard this, and kicked the thin tall man in the calf again, so painful that he jumped straight on one foot, and the young master kept begging for mercy in his mouth. The old man didn't dare to hesitate over there, anyway, the grandparents didn't have to avoid suspicion, so he hurriedly asked Xuan'er to bend down, uncover her clothes and take a look, and then there was a white cocoon hidden in her heart, the size of a finger, and a white silkworm in it was lying quietly, looking crystal clear and very cute. Except for the corpse refining disciples and the second devil, only Zhang Limin has seen this thing.

Old man Dai took out a silver knife from his pocket, and was about to pick out the ice cocoon on his granddaughter's back, when he suddenly heard the tall and thin man say, "This can't be done." ”

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
