This search and rescue operation Hua Zhenxing did not alarm Yang Tehong, for the sake of the two students who entered the wilderness without permission and disappeared, the battle he put forward was big enough, and he couldn't disturb his old man anymore.

If Old Man Yang is willing to take the initiative to ask about certain things, Hua Zhenxing will fully respect the wishes of others' hometowns; If Old Man Yang's family didn't want to meddle in their affairs, Hua Zhenxing wouldn't bother. The same is true of his attitude towards all three old men.

In the past six months, Old Man Yang has been opening a commissary at the door of the living area. Hua Zhenxing's knowledge now is no longer better than at the beginning, and he understands some of the mysteries of the master's walk in the world, but he can't tell whether the old man Yang in the commissary is the deity or the incarnation.

Since he is an old man who runs a small shop, this matter has nothing to do with his old man. At this moment, Hua Zhenxing was also taken aback by the sudden receipt of the system task, this should be Old Man Yang's prompt to him.

Old man Yang, who is not nosy, suddenly meddled in his affairs, and it seems that this matter is quite serious. But the "mission" allowed him to find out the dark creatures, but it touched the blind spot of Hua Zhenxing's knowledge, what is the dark creatures, and what does it have to do with the disappearance of the two students?

If Old Man Yang wanted to explain, he would have told him in the system task, and the reason for not explaining in detail was obviously to let him verify it himself. Fortunately, Hua Zhenxing has a lot of friends, and there are many high-ranking people among his friends, so if you don't know, just ask the teacher.

He took out a phone and adjusted the settings, and first called Ding Qi. Teacher Ding answered quickly, and his voice was still a little surprised: "Xiaohua, what's wrong, look for me at three o'clock in the middle of the night?" ”

Hua Zhenxing hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to the jet lag!" Actually, there is nothing else, I just want to ask you, what is a dark creature? ”

Tinch: "Creatures of darkness? I'm not really familiar with this, and I don't know what it is, but I've heard the term. You can ask the owner of the white farm, he should know much better than me.

I've only heard of the Gambisin having a Templar organization whose mission is to exterminate the creatures of darkness. You've been working with Gambisting for so long, and you don't even know it? ”

Hanging up the phone, Hua Zhenxing remembered that there was a special kind of existence in the group of magicians, known as black magicians, because they had fallen into darkness by studying black magic, and they had always been wanted by the Gambisting.

Six years ago, Hua Zhenxing had captured a great magician, Lalfa, who was wanted by Gambisting.

Hua Zhenxing also consulted about the concept of evil demons, Old Man Yang said that the remnants of life are demons, and Uncle Mo said that the world is a demon.

The Gambisting has a detailed definition of "black magic", the most typical of which is that when obtaining magical powers, it is not allowed to cause harm to innocent people or even deprive them of their lives, and such power comes from the devil.

This is basically consistent with Old Man Yang's definition of "evil art", for example, Hua Zhenxing cultivates the art of cultivating yuan, but he can't absorb the vitality of others to cultivate, if it is like that, the secret method will be recognized as evil art.

The sorcerer must not only swear not to study the dark arts, but also have the obligation to stop anyone who uses the dark magic to do evil in time, and if they can't stop it, they must immediately report it to the Gambis. These are also written in the Code of Magicians.

From the perspective of translation, whether it is the Adin language, the ancient Heber language, or the modern Yin language used by the Gambisting, black magic can be translated as "dark magic" in Eastern Chinese, and black magicians can also be translated as "dark magician".

Could it be that dark creatures are black magicians, or creatures that practice dark magic? Teacher Ding suggested that he ask Bai Shaoliu, Hua Zhenxing was very curious, looked at the time, or dialed the phone, but it was about Gao Le.

Jo Gaole answered the phone in time, and after hearing this, he was surprised and asked: "Xiao Hua, Chief Director Hua, your Yangyuan Valley has more than one complete divine art inheritance, and you don't know what a dark creature is?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "I don't know, I don't know, and no one has told me." Locke and Lianna never mentioned it, and you never mentioned it to me. I just learned that the Gambisting also has Templars who specialize in destroying dark creatures. ”

Jogaulle: "You haven't even heard of the Templars, have you?" ”

Hua Zhenxing said a word in Adin, and then asked, "If this is the Templar Knight, then I have really heard of it." The ancestor of the Fogen family, the great sorcerer who left behind the Book of Inheritance, claimed to have been a Templar Knight.

But I don't know what the Templars do, I thought it was just an honorary title. ”

Jogole: "The duty of the Templar is not to communicate with foreign countries, but to work with people. We're partners, and you've never dealt with a Templar, that's normal.

It is indeed an honorary title, but it is not easy to get this title, you need to make an oath and pass the test, and your cultivation is at least equivalent to a great magician, and it is the kind of great magician who can fight the most.

Locke's ancestor did not have the Templar Knight's fighting skills in the Book of Inheritance left behind, which he could not pass on without permission, even if it was passed on to the descendants of the family. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Mr. Yue, I just want to ask what a dark creature is, is it a black magician?" Or does it refer to creatures that have practiced black magic in general? ”

Jogolle: "Sorcerers are also human beings, and human beings are living beings, and of course they can also degenerate into dark creatures. The Gambisin strictly forbids the practice of dark magic, as dark mages are just as hated as dark creatures.

But there is a strict definition of a truly dark creature, and there is a faction within the Gambisting, including me, that advocates not to expand the concept of a dark creature.

People have all kinds of sinful desires in their hearts, but it does not mean that they belong to the darkness.

But there is a different situation, where sinful desires have taken possession of the soul and become the master of consciousness, and the motives of their actions follow a certain logic of sin.

People make mistakes and sins, but normal people don't exist just for some kind of sin, just for some kind of sin.

But that kind of person is not the same kind of creature as ordinary people, normal people, and you and me, and they have fallen into the dark world, and their way of existence and behavior logic are different...... Do you understand? ”

Hua Zhenxing: "The meaning is a little understood, but not very clear, can you give a specific example?" ”

Jogole: "Blood, you've heard of it, right?" It is the most typical and representative dark creature. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Vampire, is there really such a thing in reality!" ”

Yogaole: "You have a friend who started a Ten Thousand Variations Sect and taught a bunch of monsters to practice. I have a friend who also carries a gourd with him and uses the gourd to smuggle people in the world. With so many strange things out there, why can't there be vampires?

It's impossible that you haven't heard of the Bloodline, there are so many movies made, and some of them may have been made by their own investment. The blood clan in the movie is not the same as the real blood clan, but it also alludes to a lot of truth......"

In various legends, the Bloods believe in eternal life in the dark, pass on the secret of eternal life with the ritual of the first embrace, forever betray the light, and embrace the people they love the most into the darkness.

Legend has it that blood keeps them young, but this is a misconception. They are not immortalized because they suck blood, and there is a hymn among the Bloods to the effect that goes something like this:

All life will die, all will be judged at the end of time, why not give me your life, blood will flow down my throat, life will continue in my body, and I will take your place until eternal life.

According to Jogale, bloodsucking is just a ritual of casting spells, which is divided into two rituals, one is to pass on the secret of immortality to the next generation of blood, and the other is to extend the life force of the killed person to one's own life force.

The Bloods kill in order to perpetuate their vitality, and they tend not to suck the blood of the weak, but prefer to kill the most vigorous ones.

Depriving others of their lives to prolong their own youth, it is said that the Bloods are cursed to operate only in the dark night. This is actually a misreading, a metaphor for their identity that cannot see the light of day.

Hua Zhenxing: "The so-called can only be hidden in the dark, is this what it means?" ”

Jogale: "Or what do you think?" They look like normal people most of the time, but the reason why the Bloodline is called the Bloodline is that it is indeed another creature, subject to their biological instincts and behavioral logic.

Their physique is peculiar, most of them are not psychologically normal, they do hate sunlight, and they usually don't like to be seen too clearly, but it doesn't mean that they can't tolerate the sun and can't appear in broad daylight.

It's just that those who have just become novices of the blood clan do need a period of silence in the dark, and that is to complete the transformation of their physique in the process of accepting the inheritance.

Perhaps because they all have such an experience, after they officially become a blood clan, they often hate sunlight psychologically, and they will also feel uncomfortable physically. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Thank you, you helped me answer a lot of questions...... So how do you tell the difference between the bloodlines? ”

Joglole: "As long as you encounter it, you will be able to distinguish it naturally, in your own way." In fact, for the blood clan, it is better to distinguish the Yuan Cultivator.

Those tabula rasa monks cultivated by your Yangyuan Valley are like lights in the dark night when they walk in the crowd, and they are like the best steaks made by top chefs, which will make them drool uncontrollably...... Do you understand what I mean? ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Will the Yuan Master become the prey of the Blood Clan?" ”

Jo Gaole: "Not only the nourishing master, but theoretically anyone can become food for the blood clan. But there is also a price to be paid for the blood clan to cast spells to absorb the life force of others. Ordinary people whose vitality is not vigorous enough are not even enough to make up for the consumption.

The best prey for the Bloodline is of course the monk, and the higher the cultivation, the tastier, but that also means the more dangerous it is, because hunting the monk is too risky! ”

Hua Zhenxing: "I understand, thank you from the bottom of my heart!" ”

Jogale: "Don't hang up the phone, have you encountered a dark creature or do you want to study a dark creature of darkness?" I suggest that you do not touch the dark arts, it is too easy to stumble and not to commit! If you come across a dark creature, do you need help? ”

Hua Zhenxing: "I'm just investigating the disappearance of two classmates, suspected to be related to dark creatures, but I haven't found specific clues yet. Don't bother Mr. Laoyo, if you really can't figure it out and need help, I'll ask! ”

Yogaole smiled: "The dark creatures can't see the light, and it is impossible to openly confront your Yangyuan Valley head-on, they can only engage in secret poking and prodding methods, you have to be careful that these are the things." I'll tell you another thing, why hasn't anyone mentioned the Templars to you?

Because within the scope of the Roba Alliance, there has been no trace of dark creatures for a long time, and this matter is still related to Bai Shaoliu. You know Goelin, too, Helen Goelin, who was sent by the Gambisine as plenipotentiary last time to consult with you about the affairs of the Munn Garden......"

Jogaulle recounted a story from the past. When Hua Zhenxing was about seven or eight years old, a civil strife broke out in the Gambisting, and as a result, the forces of the "dark faction" represented by the chief divine master Futimore were completely purged.

Fortimore himself is certainly not a dark creature, and he is not even a dark magician, although he has also studied black magic, but there are many divine arts that he has studied and mastered, and the so-called various black magic is only a small part of it.

He and his disciples secretly cultivated a group of black magicians, none of which can be said to be colluding, and there are several dark forces hidden in the world that they have secretly cultivated to do all kinds of shady work.

The civil unrest was triggered by Fortimore's accusation that Helen and his daughter were colluding with the dark forces, imprisoning them and preparing for public execution. Bai Shaoliu brought people to a good show of robbing the law field and snatched people away.

Bai Shaoliu fled to the castle of the Green family with Helen's father and daughter, and a group of Kunlun monks such as Dan Zicheng were also around to help. Fortimore led a team of priests to attack, and someone blew a horn at the critical moment.

This horn can summon dark creatures, and the dark creatures of the Roba continent have come from all over the world one after another, and they are pouring into the castle like a tide. These dark creatures will not distinguish between the camps inside and outside the castle, and will only engulf both the attackers and the defenders.

At that time, few people knew that Fortimore was behind the dark forces, and most of the priests who accompanied Fortimore were not dark magicians, they were just Futimore's subordinates, and still regarded dark creatures as the most hated evil in the world.

The situation was reversed, and the magicians who were originally attacking the castle relied on the castle to engage in a fierce battle with the dark creatures that did not swarm in, and the elite forces of Fortimore were almost wiped out......

Jogale told this story to tell Hua Zhenxing why he had worked with the Gambistines for so long, and had never dealt with the Templars, nor had he heard anyone mention the creatures of darkness.

Because almost all of the most powerful dark creatures on the continent of Roba were wiped out in the castle war. The dark creatures who did not arrive at the battlefield at that time were also purged by the Gambisting because their nests were exposed.

There may still be remnants of dark creatures on the Roba continent today, but the number must be quite scarce, and they dare not be exposed at all, so that they have disappeared for many years, and few people talk about them again.

In today's world, there is almost no news of dark creatures. The remnants of the dark creatures, the best possible hiding place, is probably the poor and chaotic Black Wilderness Continent that no one pays attention to.

After listening to this story, Hua Zhenxing asked, "You mean that there is a horn in Zahuai Mountain Villa, and blowing it can summon dark creatures?" So if you take this trumpet and blow it all over the world, won't you blow out all the creatures of darkness? ”

Jogole smiled bitterly: "How can it be as simple as you say! It cannot be blown indiscriminately, it must be blown with the most restless desires, but it requires the trumpeter to have a clear state of mind in the restlessness.

The sound of the trumpet is inaudible, it is like a call from the depths of the soul, which can make the dark creatures restless and driven by desire. And its sound doesn't travel far, and it can't cover too many places.

At that time, there was a Kunlun monk to help Bai Shaoliu, and asked the master to use an artifact to continuously transmit the sound of the horn to various places in the Luoba Continent, and at the same time to calm the restlessness of ordinary people's souls. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "How far can the sound of the horn travel?" ”

Jo Gaole: "I heard that you are building the city wall in the town of the Occult Moon, and with your cultivation, if you can blow that horn, it will almost cover the area within the city wall of the town of the moon...... Is there anything else you'd like to ask? ”

Hua Zhenxing: "The last question, can the blood clan really live forever?" ”

Jo Gaulle laughed out loud on the other side of the phone: "With your vision and cultivation, how could you ask such a stupid question?" ”

……

In front of the gate of the waiting hall, hanging up the phone, Hua Zhenxing subconsciously looked up, there was an open parking lot in front of him, and there were landscape trees planted around the parking lot, which was a tall oil palm.

Seeing the oil palm, Hua Zhenxing inexplicably remembered another person. This man also represents a certain type of people in the world, the same kind of people who were overthrown during the establishment of the New Kingdom, and his name is Morrison.

Xia Yading was a slave laborer who was freed from the plantation by the New Alliance, and Chen Weihu, a police officer in the East Country and vice president of the Fangguan Development Group, was also a slave laborer on the same plantation, which was owned by Morrison.

Chen Weihu was sent in by gangsters in Banda City when he was investigating a transnational immigration fraud, and Xia Yading was tricked into a plantation by gangsters in Afsogang when he went out to look for a job.

The plantation's most important crop was oil palm. Oil palm is a cash crop whose fruit can be used to extract palm oil and export it overseas as an industrial feedstock.

The plantation was on the outskirts of Philosophor Port, where the local agricultural conditions were the best. The plantations have used almost all of the land that is most suitable for cultivation and irrigation to grow oil palm.

There are many plantations in the country, and in order to grow oil palm, a large number of trees are cut down and grasslands are burned, which not only consumes precious water resources, but also leads to the spread of desertification.

On the other hand, they did not grow food on the most suitable land for cultivation, which directly exacerbated the famine. How many people would die as a result of the famine was not a question for Morrison, who died every day anyway.

The various documents of the original country are quite imperfect, and in many places almost equal to none, so there are few official records of Morrison, only that he is a descendant of the colonists of the Yin Kingdom.

Morrison originally had dual citizenship of the country of miles and the country of the bag, and he himself lived in the country of the bag all year round. If you want to ask if there are any vampires among ordinary people? So Morrison is!

He has been greedily and ferociously sucking the blood of this world, including Xia Yading's, Chen Weihu's, and even Hua Zhenxing's, because Hua Zhenxing is also a member of this world.

Talking about the blood clan and seeing oil palm again, Hua Zhenxing inexplicably remembered Morrison. According to what Jo Gaulle just said, there is often a kind of person around the blood clan, translated into Eastern Chinese, who can be called blood servants or blood slaves.

If Morrison is compared to a vampire, aren't the gangsters who served him back then equivalent to blood slaves? Some Blood Slaves may have been forced, but many more Blood Clans were voluntary.

They regard the Bloodline as their master, claiming to be faithful stewards or servants, driven by the Bloodline to provide all kinds of services to the Bloodline. These Blood Slaves are often tempted by the secret of the Bloodline's eternal life, and longs for themselves to one day go through rituals and receive the gift of becoming a Bloodline.

In their eyes, the Bloods are not evil creatures of darkness, but a symbol of nobility, power, mystery, and elegance, a noble existence that transcends all living beings.

Thinking of the Blood Slave, Hua Zhenxing couldn't help but think of another series of stories, both comics and movies, where the protagonist is a bat master wearing a black cloak and a mask.

By the side of this bat master, there is a loyal old butler who is proficient in aristocratic etiquette and has been taking good care of the bat master.

In many Western legends, bats are often used to symbolize the blood family. If the Bat Master is a blood clan, then the old butler is also a typical blood slave.

The way for the bat master in the story to redeem himself is to put on a cloak and a mask, and become a dark knight to catch criminals on the streets, those criminals who can't be caught, caught and released, and caught more and more......

In Lian Pian's imagination, Hua Zhenxing left the airport and followed the highway to Miri City, entering this strange and familiar city.
