Chapter Ninety-Three: The Secret of the Wraith
When a pair of undead hands appeared from the ground and grabbed Yueyan and Ah Moo's ankles, Ah Moo's spirit skull lantern suddenly flew out from a distance and hovered directly above Lin Suotu's head.
Lin Suotu looked up at the spirit skull lantern, and was not afraid, but said, "Even if I die and the formation disappears, you won't be able to live." ”
Ah Mo said expressionlessly: "You think too much, how can I let you die?" If you're dead, I won't be able to figure out the truth. After speaking, Ah Mo stared at the spirit skull lantern, "Eat his left hand, and swallow my whole arm!" ”
When Lin Suotu heard this, he knew that it was bad, and he turned around and was about to run, but he was directly bitten by the spirit skull lantern on his wrist.
The current situation, whether it is cutting off Lin Suotu's arm or killing him directly, will not affect the spell formation, but if the left wrist that drives the spell formation is eaten by the spirit skull lantern, then everything will disappear.
Because inside the spirit skull lantern is the door of life and death, it is a unique and mysterious space, no matter anything, whether it is a living person or an undead, as long as you enter, you will be trapped, and even the magic and witchcraft are of no use in the door of life and death.
Lin Suotu's left hand was swallowed by the spirit skull lantern, and he would directly reach the range where the Gate of Life and Death was located, and the magic he cast would instantly turn into nothingness.
After Lin Suotu's left arm was bitten off, there was no blood at the broken point, because there was a white mass directly blocking the wound, but the original formation on the ground and those undead hands disappeared in an instant.
The spirit skull lantern made a chewing sound and flew back into Ah Mo's hand, while the pale-faced Lin Suotu knelt on the ground, his eyes full of despair.
Ah Mo was very interested in the white substance, which was supposed to be an undead spirit that had changed its form.
Ah Mo remembered that after he first attacked the watchman, an undead escaped from the watchman's body, and then the watchman turned back into the appearance of a foreign corpse.
If the undead who are stranded in Jiuyuan want to attack humans, because they have no entity themselves, they can only use two ways, illusion and possession. If the illusion of the undead is not discovered without being aware of it, it is even more troublesome to possess the body, and it is not just a living thing that can be attached, because since it is a living body, there is a natural spirit in its body, and the spirit of the living creature will become an undead after it leaves, therefore, the undead want to possess the living body, the first premise is that the spirit in the possessed body is not strong, and in layman's terms, the willpower is not strong enough.
Therefore, the reason why Tang Xiaohao and others, Ah Mo and Yueyan did not find out that the change person was a foreign corpse was because an undead spirit possessed the alien corpse, and used his own illusion to make the people who saw him think that the alien corpse was a living person.
After Ah Mo directly stated his speculation, Lin Suotu, who knew that he had no chance, nodded: "That's right." ”
Unexpectedly, Ah Mo actually praised: "Amazing, you can come up with this method, it seems that after you killed the watchman, you not only transformed his body into a corpse, but also controlled his undead." ”
Lin Suotu shook his head: "You're right, I just transformed the corpse, his undead has become a resentful spirit, and now he is wandering in the inn, and the undead who entered the alien corpse is my son Lin Feng." ”
In fact, the earliest sewing of thousands of corpses can control the corpse, that is, to drive the corpse, that is, to control the undead first, so that the undead possess the body to act in the alien corpse, but for the corpse that has not been transformed, there is a high probability of failure, because the undead and the corpse will repuls, so it can only be used to control the transformed corpse, that is, the alien corpse.
However, although it is possible to control the alien corpse by doing so, the premise is that the undead must be controlled, and to control an undead spirit, the way required is a thousand times more troublesome than transforming a corpse into a corpse, even if it is a faction of sewing a thousand corpses, not everyone can do it.
Lin Suotu looked at Ah Mo and said: "If it weren't for the fact that this is my son's undead, I wouldn't be able to control it, and, as you can see, I'm about to succeed, and I reversed the door of life and death, just to make my son's undead materialized, as long as the undead is materialized, I can use the alien corpse to reshape his body and resurrect him." ”
So, everything Lin Sotu did here was to resurrect his son?
"Ridiculous!" Ah Mo reprimanded, "As a person from the Outer Dao, you should know very well that people cannot be resurrected after death. With that, Ah Mo turned his head to look at the inn again, "How did you turn such a large inn into a spirit skull?" ”
Lin Suotu asked, "I'm also curious, how did you turn a lantern into a spirit skull?" And so obedient. ”
Ah Mo raised his hand and grabbed Lin Suotu's Heavenly Spirit Gai: "Answer my question, otherwise, I will not only kill you, but also make your son's soul scattered!" ”
Lin Suotu looked at the white substance covering his wounds: "I also discovered it by accident, I came here pretending to be a traveling merchant just to find a suitable corpse ......"
The reason why Lin Suotu wanted to find a suitable corpse was also to resurrect his poor son Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was just fifteen years old when he died, and the cause of death was the plague in Xianchun County that year. Lin Feng was infected with the plague, but Lin Suotu was fine, but he tried his best to save his son.
Lin Suotu, who was unwilling, could only find a way to lock up his son's undead, although he thought about transforming his son's corpse into a corpse, but the corpse was always made of corpses, and sooner or later it would rot, rather than seeing that the corpse made by his son had rotted one day, it was better to bury it in the ground.
It is common sense that people cannot be resurrected after death, and Lin Suotu naturally knows it, but he is a disciple of sewing thousands of corpses. The purpose of sewing a thousand corpses for thousands of years to study corpses is actually to study the secrets of death, and therefore in the development of thousands of years, a series of various strange forbidden techniques have been born.
Lin Suotu consulted the classics left by the Thousand Corpses faction and found the record of the Gate of Life and Death, and the method of reversing the Gate of Life and Death was also an assumption proposed at that time. It is mentioned in the classics that if you artificially create a spirit skull, you can open the door of life and death that can be used everywhere, and then use the method of refining spirits to gather the endless energy in the area where the door of life and death is located, plus the undead who are hovering on the edge of the door of life and death, there is a chance to materialize a certain undead.
If the undead can be completely materialized, then if the door of life and death is reversed, the so-called undead can be reversed into the human spirit, so as to find a way to use the human spirit to reshape the living.
Although the classics say it is simple, it is too difficult to do, and it is basically impossible to open the door of life and death in the creation of the spirit skull first.
The definition of the spirit skull itself has not been clear for thousands of years. Because anything can become a spirit skull, a spirit skull is strictly a magic weapon, and a magic weapon can also be a weapon. For something to become a spirit skull, the premise is that there must be a large number of undead or resentful spirits around it.
Even if ordinary people don't know it, people in the other ways also know that the door of life and death exists in every place, as long as the living thing dies, after the spirit becomes an undead, the door of life and death will be opened on the spot, and the undead will directly enter the nine domains through the door of life and death, unless it is a special circumstance, they will stay in the nine plains or be trapped in the door of life and death.
Lin Suotu knew this, so he immediately tried to lock up his son's undead spirit after he took his last breath. Therefore, it is too difficult to find a place where you can create a spirit skull.
However, after Lin Suotu came to Xinzheng County, he found that the old county seat of Xinzheng County, that is, Wangzhuang, had gathered a large number of resentful spirits.
Lin Suotu knew that this was an opportunity, so he pretended to be a traveling merchant to negotiate with the local county magistrate, he could find a way to surpass these resentful spirits, and he didn't need the county government to give him any fees, just promise him to build an inn in Wangzhuang.
As long as all the resentful spirits in Wangzhuang are exceeded, then so many houses in Wangzhuang can be used for people to do business, so that the originally lifeless Xinzheng County can restore the vitality of its early years.
Ah Mo's hand did not let go of Lin Suotu's spirit cover, but with his other hand, he pulled out a piece of rune paper: "Go on." ”
Ah Mao's rune paper was obviously used to deal with Lin Feng's undead, as long as the rune paper was pasted, in an instant, Lin Feng's undead would turn into nothingness, and even the Nine Domains would not be able to go.
Lin Suotu looked at Ah Mo with pleading eyes: "After I negotiated the conditions with the county government, I opened an inn here, but I didn't expect it, but because I discovered a shocking secret." ”
Ah Mo immediately asked, "What secret?" ”
Lin Suotu smiled and smiled strangely: "It is rumored that these resentful spirits were formed by the people of Lao Xinzheng County after their deaths, because they were unwilling to be killed by the plague, so the undead became resentful spirits after death, but there is a question, even if this is the case, why didn't they enter the Gate of Life and Death and enter the Nine Domains?" Is it because they have too much resentment to enter? No, it can't be, you know, unless they die at the same time, otherwise, resentment can't accumulate so much in a short period of time, even if it is infected with the plague, it can't make all the people of a county die overnight, right? ”
Ah Mo and Yue Yan nodded, so many people, even if they were infected with the plague, it was impossible for them all to die instantly, and it was not poisoning, even if it was poisoning, according to the different physique of people, it was impossible to guarantee that they would all die at the same time.
Ah Mo frowned and asked, "So, how did the people here die?" ”
Lin Suotu looked at Ah Mo and said, "It was killed by someone!" ”
Yueyan was startled: "Killed? Who has the ability to kill the people of the entire county overnight? ”
Lin Suotu smiled: "What do you think?" Do you still need to think about it? ”
Ah Mo pondered for a moment: "You don't want to tell me that the court did it, right?" ”
Lin Suotu nodded slightly: "Almost, the people of Lao Xinzheng County were all killed by the Tianqian army in Liangcheng. ”
Ah Mo and Yue Yan both gasped and glanced at each other, they didn't doubt what Lin Suotu said, because it was pointless for him to lie now.
It's just that why did the Tianqian army in Liangcheng kill all the people in Lao Xinzheng County?
Ah Mo asked puzzledly: "What is the reason why the Tianqian Army is doing something to these people?" ”
Yue Yan also asked, "Could it be that the people here want to rebel?" ”
Even if it's a rebellion, you can't do it with the participation of all the people in a county, right? Moreover, in terms of time, Huayuan had been basically pacified at that time, there were neither natural disasters nor man-made disasters, and the people here lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there should be no motive for rebellion.
Lin Suotu sighed slightly: "I heard clearly, the reason why the Tianqian Army wanted to kill all the people here was because all the people here had turned into armor at that time!" ”
Yue Yan and Ah Moo's faces changed suddenly when they heard this.
