Chapter 758: Lord Nalan consulted
As for zombies, I roughly summarized them according to the Genmon records: "Zombies are monsters that have been transformed by the influence of the sun and moon essences. According to the records of "Zi Bu Yu" and "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", zombies also have three aliases, namely moving corpses, walking shadows, and walking corpses."
According to unknown sources, there are 18 types: zombies, blood corpses, shadow corpses, flesh corpses, skin corpses, jade corpses, walking corpses, fraudulent corpses, sweat corpses, hair corpses, walking corpses, awakened corpses, armor corpses, stone corpses, fighting corpses, vegetable corpses, cotton corpses and wooden corpses. Among them, the most ferocious are zombies and bloody corpses, the most resentful are shadow corpses and fighting corpses, and the kindest are flesh corpses and awake corpses.
"Zi Bu Silent" divides zombies into eight varieties: purple zombie, white zombie, green zombie, hair zombie, flying zombie, wandering corpse, ambush corpse, and non-bone.
From ancient times to the present, in the Xuanmen classics of each family, there are different discussions about zombies....The classification of the hierarchy is also different.
Even because zombies don't eat human flesh and only suck blood, they were later assimilated by foreign vampire elements.
In "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", he once described the appearance of zombies: "White hair is all over the body, eyes are red like dansha, fingers are like curved hooks, teeth and lips are like sharp blades kissing and shouting, bloody through the nose."
……………
There are records of each family in the Xuanmen, but the induction is not general.
I discovered, "Especially after the jumping corpse, the difference in the record varies! Of course, this cannot be said that the classics of the Xuanmen families must be wrong. It's that there are too many deficiencies in our understanding of zombies in this world, and the writing of the ancients is not comprehensive enough, which creates cognitive defects in this world!"
"Oh," said Nalan, who was surprised, "why do you think that?"
"That's the truth," I said, for example, "Master Nalan, not to mention the Xuanmen....Looking at the craftsmen who have been inherited for a hundred years, they are often inferior to the next generation. Only occasionally, geniuses will be born and they will surpass the ancients! But this is extremely unlikely, usually very rarely. Because in the inheritance of craftsmanship, it is often only clear and unreasonable, and many inferences are ignored.....
"Secondly," I have also thought more than once, "why were the ancient books of Xuanmen neglected to be recorded, and even used classical Chinese!"
"Heh," Mrs. Nalan laughed at the time, "This is because of the habit of the ancients in the past... Vernacular language, that is only popular in the Republic of China!"
"Perhaps," though I didn't know why, I thought, "Maybe the ancients knew how to make paper... The cost of papermaking is extremely high. That's why the ancients condensed their words."
"Don't really say it," Liu Ju was suddenly stunned: "Jiang Cheng, you said this, maybe it's really possible!"
"So," I was thinking, "if the ancients used deep words, after passing them on....Later generations borrowed ancient books, they may not be able to understand the truth, but may be misled by ancient books..... talking about corpses, among zombies, all families have records, saying that it is difficult to find a corpse in this thousand years, and since corpses are difficult to find, then the ancients naturally rarely recorded. What's more, even if there is, the predecessor of the record, perhaps because he has never seen it, will be hastily brushed aside!"
"Have you seen many of them?" Mrs. Nalan asked.
"Yes," I don't deny: "I have checked the records of zombies in the Xuanmen of Nanmao and Beima, and even in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"...I found that in the records of all families, the distinction above the jumping corpse realm is not detailed, and the zombies recorded by each family also have their own magical powers! There are different traditions, and now if we want to prove it, we have to rely on ourselves......
"Yes," agreed Master Nalan, "we know too little about the abilities of corpses... In the ancient books of Xuanmen, it must belong to the "Divine Mystery Sutra" to have a clear record, saying: "There are people in the south, two or three feet long, with a bare body, two eyes on the top, walking like the wind, the name is Lu, the country you see is in great drought, and the red land is thousands of miles."
"Yes," I said, "In ancient books, there is often a passage in the records of the dragons....zombies can fly, but dragons are their nemesis."
"Dragon!?" Mrs. Nalan's face suddenly sank.
When it comes to dragons, people have to think of the Chen family..... they use Qinglong as their backer.
Master Nalan could hear it: "Are you persuading me to cooperate with the Chen family?"
"If you want to get rid of the corpses," I confessed, "I can't ..... unless the Chen family helps."
"Hmph," I didn't think about it, but Mrs. Nalan, who had always been reasonable, also snorted coldly at this moment.
This view of the portal is really not something that ordinary people can understand.
"But Jiang Cheng," Liu Ju suddenly asked with concern, "Did you really do anything with the corpse in the tomb last night?"
"The younger generation doesn't dare to hide it," I confessed, "I did fight... And, to be ashamed, if it weren't for my luck, there would have been no chance of survival......
I'll tell you all about last night.
even mentioned that at that time, Nalan Seventh Master led us to the tomb, and Nalan Xin kicked me to the coffin by mistake in order to protect Nalan Seventh Master.
Looking at the corpse, I explained all the details of the corpse.
In the end, I didn't dare to hide the slightest bit of how to get out....lest I ignore the details and arouse the doubts of Liu Ju and Mrs. Nalan.
After listening to my description, Liu Ju only asked, "Is this corpse really so powerful?"
"If it weren't for his jealousy of the Xuantian Sword in my hand," I said bluntly, "Last night, I would never have escaped with my whole body!"
"Oh," Liu Ju said sadly, "It seems that a catastrophe is coming!"
"The top priority," I thought, "must put an end to the corpses as a disaster, and if it is a little later, I am afraid that it will ......."
