There are many things in the world that go to the same end, but this is the first time I've seen a coincidence like this.

Originally, I was just soul tortured about the "motives" of Jitai Zhenren, but now this Zhao Debiao and his father suddenly appeared, thinking about the things they have experienced, how many people have done anything for a "eternal life" and lost their conscience, and in the end it is just a nothingness, which is really sad and lamentable.

To tell the truth, the character of Jitai Zhenren is not yet ranked among the people who have destroyed humanity and lost their conscience, although their methods are dishonorable and their motives are not pure, but at least they have no intention of harming others, even if they bewitch the villagers, the purpose is only to control their minds and use the people's faith and worship to maintain their own lives. However, this Zhao Debiao's father, the right to call him Zhao, Jitai Zhenren compared to him, it is simply a small thing, with Zhao's means and ambitions, I am afraid that he can only get eternal life by killing all the people in a town, and he will not hesitate to do it.

"Life is only once for everyone." I shook my head, full of helplessness, "If you want eternal life, that is to change your life against the sky, God is fair to everyone, if you want to live, someone must die, but why does he have to die?" ”

I sighed.

The fourth uncle glanced at me and said, "You're right, it's a pity that many people don't understand this truth." ”

"I can't see Mount Tai in a blind eye, these people are blinded by lard, so naturally they can't see this simple truth."

"I don't care if this Zhao understands the reason or not, I'm just curious, who is this person sacred?" Jin Lei asked, "It's really unbelievable that such a powerful person is in the local area, and we don't even know about it, and the case file is still in our hands." ”

"You're getting to the point, it looks like we're involved in a bigger case." I looked at Jin Lei and said with a smile: "I even suspect now that Professor Ye is a drunkard and does not mean to drink......"

"That can't be!" Jin Lei immediately interrupted me, "The professor doesn't know anything about this, don't speculate." ”

I didn't want to entangle with her, so I said to the fourth uncle: "Fourth uncle, please continue to talk." ”

"When the old man came, he just wanted to check it, but he didn't think that the situation at the bottom of the well was very different from that year, if he had been dead last time he came in, then he wanted to go out this time, it was definitely as difficult as the sky. What's worse is that he hasn't prepared any magic weapons yet. But his temper had risen, and he did not care about the danger, and although his eyes were still bloodshot, his mind had calmed down, and he lit the two remaining torches on the wall. At this time, the inside was already illuminated, and there was no murmur except for the ticking of blood dripping into the vessel. Looking ahead, at the end of the rectangular chamber, naked corpses were piled up, layer upon layer. But all the corpses on their backs, their bellies were exposed, as if someone had pulled them out on the stomach. The temperature down the well was on the high side, some of the corpses had begun to decompose, and some fat maggots were swimming in the sea of corpses. When the old man saw this scene, he almost didn't vomit the overnight meal. Then I thought that when I came down for the first time, the old Du Tou was entangled by the resentment of these unjust souls who died in vain by the turbid blood lamp. As long as you burn this place, everything will be fine. But these tragic deaths in front of him made the old man unable to calm the anger in his chest for a long time. Although I don't know who did it, it must have something to do with Zhao Debiao and his father. The old man turned away from the carrion. But he was smoky from the rotting smell of the corpses. Reaching into his arms, he took a clove of garlic, broke it open, put it under his nose and smelled it, and the spicy breath immediately stimulated his head to sober up. Lao Zhenren wanted to save those who were not dead, even if they couldn't live, they wouldn't suffer this living crime. But before he could come into contact with the people hanging on the wall, the expressions on the faces of these people began to distort, as if they were particularly painful. The old man thought that these people woke up in pain, but found that there seemed to be something in the skin of these people that wanted to break out, and the skin of Songtata was on top of the old high, and the things inside kept wandering in the human body, as if looking for the best place to appear. ”

The fourth uncle took a sip of tea and continued: "The old man just walked into the secret room and found that the secret room was densely packed with corpses, and there were many dying people on the wall. Although the expressions of those people were distorted, the gray eyes remained unchanged. A groan of pain came from his throat. The thing swam to the belly, then stopped, snorted through the belly, a fat flesh, like maggots, mixed with steaming blood to show its head, these maggots not only did not look like maggots in ordinary thatched houses, but also bloated, the head was as big as a pig's brain, full of flesh folds, covered with coarse hairs like pigs, maggots popped up, those who were hung by iron hooks hung their heads and died. These white maggots have never been seen by real people, and they are by no means ordinary corpse insects. Not daring to be careless, he took a step back. The corpse worms had mouths and eyes, but they seemed to have just been born, and their eyes had not yet opened. The corpse insects attached to the human body tore their bellies one by one and came out, and the maggot closest to the old man moved his fat head, blinked his eyelids, and then seemed to be extremely angry, opened his big mouth, and roared. Only then did the old man see clearly that the mouths of these maggots were full of sharp mouthparts, and one mouth was fishy and smelly, and the saliva was far away. The cry of maggots was like the cry of a baby, sharp and piercing, with the scream of this maggot, the other maggots also roared, the sound was strange and deafening, the old man covered his ears, retreated to the corner, and those maggots jumped out of the cavity one by one. Falling into a vessel on the ground. Grunting with blood bubbles, he jumped up and pounced on the old man in front of him. All this happened between lightning and flint, and the old man saw that the situation was not good, and took a step back. The maggot pounced in the air, and its half-meter-long body slammed into the wall, slapping a bloody mark of Yin Hong. The old people have heard that shamans worship blood and raise corpses to let blood, and are good at manipulating evil things. I didn't expect that there was such an evil thing in the world. I can't take care of it at the moment, so I run away, but the ground is crawling with stinky maggots, and if I am not careful, it will become a snack for big maggots. More maggots approached step by step, and the old man had to take down the torch on the wall to resist for a while, and now he couldn't use all his strength. ”

"But one thing in the world descends one thing, this is the eternal truth, these maggots, obviously the essence of the human body, flies maggots into the human body into the human body into the precedent of parasites is not nothing, but these fly maggots are ridiculously big, there are huge mouthparts, obviously someone deliberately implanted the worm, and then the three souls of the person were scattered, and the spirit was sealed in the body of the maggot, although these worms have no thoughts, but they inherited the host's resentment, instinctive bloodthirsty. Moreover, this kind of insect yin qi is extremely heavy, and the yin qi when they first come in may be produced by these insects that are still in the human body. These insects didn't give the old man more time to think, one by one roared, bounced up with the fat back body, with a fishy wind, pounced on the old man, the old man held a torch, blocking the maggots that rushed in the air, but the speed of these maggots was too fast, and it was impossible to dodge left and right, the old man roared angrily, and stuffed the torch into the maggot's mouth, who knew that the maggot was extremely powerful, swallowed the flame, and didn't realize it. Forcefully threw out the torch in the old man's hand. The old man looked at these disgusting insects in a cold sweat, and saw that he was about to die in the mouth of the insect, but he thought of the garlic in his arms, this garlic is the strongest positive thing in the plant, if you meet a little ghost, eat garlic, the stinky and spicy taste of garlic in your mouth can scare those evil people away. Since these fat insects are all yin things raised by the resentment of the dead and turned into yin by essence and blood, I will try this garlic with the most yang energy. Lao Zhenren hurriedly took out the garlic from his arms, put it in his mouth and chewed it together with the belt buds, and his mouth was so spicy that he almost didn't spew fire. Under chewing, the garlic became minced garlic, the old man raised his head and let out a long roar, spit out the garlic, just sprayed on the maggot that pounced in the air, the worm touched the garlic squirted out by the old man, fell from the air, twisted and rolled on the ground, made a piercing sound, struggled back and forth, wisps of black smoke came out of the maggot, and finally only the shriveled crispy skin remained. The old man raised his foot and kicked the dry skin on the ground. The green onion is spicy, the nose is spicy, and after chewing a mouthful of garlic, the old man also feels sweaty all over his body, and his whole body is full of energy. The remaining maggots were afraid of the yang energy of the garlic on the old man's body, and did not dare to come closer, but only roared in the distance. The old man took advantage of the excitement of eating garlic before it passed, picked up the wooden stick on the ground and beckoned to the maggots, opened the bow left and right, and picked up the maggots that rushed in front of him to the wall, but these maggots seemed to be not afraid of external attacks, and the physical damage was useless. was hit against the wall, his body flicked, and he screamed and pounced, as if he was angry to the extreme, and if he didn't eat the old man alive, he would be angry. Although there is a lot of garlic, it can only resist for a while, and no one can stand it if they eat it non-stop. Those maggots took advantage of this juncture and pounced on the old man, the old man desperately protected his head, and those maggots bit the old man's cotton clothes and refused to let go, but they couldn't help him for a while. It's just that there are too many insects, and the strength is great, and the old man is thrown off, and the old man sees that he has escaped from the insect circle, and runs towards the big open wooden door, and roasts the maggots bitten on the cotton clothes with fire while running, and is secretly glad that he was not bitten by this poison. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help laughing, I didn't expect this Jitai real person to rely on a handful of garlic to resist these maggots for so long, looking at the embarrassed appearance, I guess I don't want to meet them in my life.

The old man closed the wooden door with his backhand, and the roar of maggots in the house was endless, and the rotten wooden door was slammed and trembled, and sometimes sawdust flew. He didn't dare to delay any longer, he just took a breath outside the door, and wanted to go back the way he came. I got up and wanted to leave, but I found myself in a hurry, and I didn't choose the way to go, and outside this door was not the wellhead when I came. It's a secret passage, the dark passage is dark, and the depressed people don't seem to feel their existence, the old man hunched his waist and walked along the secret passage, but the more he walked, the more frightened he became, and this secret passage was full of carrion and stumps. In some places, a road needs to be cleared to pass through, and because the tunnel may be connected to the ground, it is extremely cold in the tunnel, and the corpses and stumps are frozen hard, but there is not much smell of corpses. The cold wind outside blew into the dark passage, whining, like the wail of the unjust souls wandering here, making people feel a bitter cold resentment when they heard it. The old man muttered as he walked: die early and take care of your life early, let's go. The old man walked numbly, not knowing how to describe his feelings, and his anger had been diluted by the grievances of these deceased. Looking at the rows of blood trailing out of the ground, the old man concluded that this was the exit for the maggots to go out to catch the living, and the person who borrowed corpses to raise insects must have entered and exited through this secret passage. The old man thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but speed up his pace, wanting to go back to get the explosives and blow up this harmful cave. But I didn't expect this secret passage to be extremely long, and the accuracy of calculating the time here was lost, and I only knew that when I was tired, I would rest in the pile of dead people, and chew a clove of garlic when it was cold. Finally, the old man felt that the air around him was getting colder and colder, and it seemed that he was about to reach the exit soon. The old man drilled out of the dark passage, the sky was already dark, the snow had already stopped, and the vast earth was white. The night is draped in stars and moons, and the lifeless wilderness is hidden. The old man looked up at the sky, the half moon was in the sky, and he calculated the time, on the Xuanyue, the ninth day of the first month was westward, it should be around 23 o'clock in the middle of the night, but I didn't expect to toss it in the middle of the night. Lao Zhenren took out a dry tobacco, sipped the cigarette paper with his mouth, rolled it firmly, and sat on the snow and smoked. Listening to the mournful crows of the old trees in the distance, the slightest desolation and heartache were heartbroken. ”

"And that's the end? Zhao Debiao's father didn't come out? "I can't get enough of it.

"This Zhao Debiao's father has never shown up from beginning to end."

"Yes, then what about later, why did your senior brother go?"

The fourth uncle sighed and said: "At that time, the old man was smoking while observing the nearby terrain, looking at the distance he could see the frozen river surface like a sharp sword hitting directly, and then turned sharply into the distance, forming an elbow-shaped river, and there were a few wisps of withered grass growing on the hillside where the old man was located. A few dead trees in the distance were also covered with remnants of snow. This hill is very familiar to the old people, this is the mass grave in the town in the past, the poor family died, there was no money to buy a coffin, so they rolled a broken mat and carried it here to burn some paper money, which was considered a burial. But in recent years, there are few people who can't afford to buy coffins, and the state has promoted cremation, so this mass grave can be regarded as a useless force. Because it is far away from people, the dead people used to be piled up here, and sometimes the river fork rowed in this place, and the ghost fire on both sides of the river floated, which was very gloomy. This haunted, there are many things about missing people, according to the inference of the old people, this place was originally a place of extremely evil feng shui 'Suzaku weeping', plus it is a place of mass graves and yin condensation. Zhao Debiao and his father dug a secret passage here, it is convenient to take the corpse, and he can pretend to be a ghost, which is extremely hidden, after all, no one in a normal person will come to the mass grave for a walk. This secret passage also dug a dry well in the town, which was convenient for capturing the living to take blood and practice, and could drive those maggots to prey on the living on the riverbank, taking advantage of the land. After the old man finished smoking a cigarette, he got up and shrunk his neck, and the cotton clothes that were bitten by maggots were torn open with hideous gaps, and the cold wind kept pouring them in. Walk all the way down the river and you'll be back to the town. The road is extremely difficult to walk, and sometimes you will fall into a snow-covered mass grave, and a little deeper will bring out a piece of hand bone. After all, this barren mountain is not all buried 'loyal bones'. ”

Lao Zhenren walked to the woods by the river, and by the starlight, he found a row of newly stepped footprints, zigzags, and wondered, who would walk around this mass grave in the middle of the night, could it be Zhao Debiao's father's person? But the old man didn't pay attention to the footprints in front of him, more than one thing is better than less, it is better to return to the town as soon as possible, but the more he walks, the cooler his heart becomes, if he is according to his own foot strength, he will already go to the river fork, but no matter how he walks, he is going around in that area, and then look at the snow under his feet is hard to be stepped on a small path back and forth. ”

"However, the unexpected happened very quickly." The fourth uncle paused, "When the old man looked back, he found a familiar figure following him. The old man was frightened, he couldn't believe it, because that was the person he trusted the most, and no one would not believe in his own flesh and blood. The old man looked at him with a pale face, the corners of his mouth trembled, his heart was full of anger, but he was more afraid. That person is none other than my senior brother, who doesn't seem to be involved in anything along the way, but it was he who made the old man fall into the abyss. The old man staggered forward and drank: Why are you here? This, you know everything here? The senior brother laughed, he actually laughed at this time, you must know that his father had just experienced nine deaths below. The old man was furious, and he was about to slap him when he said it. However, the senior brother was not afraid at all, and said coldly: Dad, we can't deal with them, just your little way, you are not worthy of lifting shoes for others, what you saw below just now is just that people want to try your methods, but it seems that you are not too powerful. We've been in that mountain nest for too long, how can we achieve great ambitions on our own? Is it just that those mountain people worship the Bodhisattva and send some sesame oil every year? As soon as the old man was said by him, the hand that was originally raised really didn't fall, and the whole person was like a deflated ball, and said dejectedly: You say, who are they? What do you want to do? The senior brother said, it turns out that this Zhao Debiao and his father are the real murderers behind the 'Nine Dragons Corpse Array', he has many disciples, and he is doing big things. My senior brother was unwilling to stay in the mountains for the rest of his life, even if he had the blood of Jitai Zhenren on his body, he also had his own ideas to complete the mission, so he immediately agreed to join. Zhao Debiao's father also appreciated it, and promised that as long as he could convince Lao Zhenren, then he could help them improve the art of returning yang, so that Ji Tai Zhenren's long-cherished wish could be fulfilled. ”

"But, they still put forward conditions, right?" I sneered, "There is no such good thing in the world." ”

"That is, the condition is Pangu Heart."

"That's what your brother told him?"

The fourth uncle shook his head and said, "I also wonder, how did this Zhao Debiao and his father know that Pangu Xin was in the hands of Jitai Zhenren?" It's an accident, but it's too coincidental, right? ”

At this time, I happened to lower my head and look at my shadow below, and suddenly, a thought touched my nerves, I looked up sharply, and said, "Is it - shadow?" ”

"Shadow?" Jin Lei and Ruan Lina looked at me in surprise.

They don't know what the "shadow" represents, but the "shadow" may also exist in their hearts.

Knowing it, the heart is forever filled with fear.
