Faced with Mr. Zhu Da's somewhat aggressive tone, Zhang Cuishan was not annoyed, but arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Zhu Da, where did these tricks come from?" ”

Mr. Zhu Da rolled his eyes strangely, and said slowly: "Although I have not been able to leave Lin'an City all these years, I have always entrusted someone to help me collect any books on strange things. In the past 100 years, there was no record of strange things in any history books, and I was curious about the origin of their appearance, and I searched countless ancient books over the years. ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhu Da suddenly stopped, touched his beard and stopped talking.

Song Xing asked playfully: "Dare to ask Mr. Big, where does the source of the strange thing come from?" ”

Mr. Zhu nodded with satisfaction, took over the conversation and said: "I have listed all the trick incidents, and found that except for a few tricks that appear in the mountains, forests and wilderness, most of the tricks have only one opportunity, that is, a large number of killings. ”

"Killing?" Zhang Cuishan couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

Mr. Zhu Da said quickly: "That's right, since ancient times, where a lot of killings are prone to occur, that is the battlefield. Later, I flipped through a large number of classics and found that the strange things that appeared between the mountains and the wilderness, and the places where they appeared, were also ancient battlefields that had been silent for many years, so I confirmed my guess. ”

Hearing this, Song Xing also asked: "If you talk about the battlefield, there have been countless wars of all dynasties, why have there never been strange things before, and only in the past fifty years, have strange things been born?" ”

Song Xing's words seemed to stop Mr. Zhu Da, "This, I haven't found out the specific reason, maybe I only need to go to the source of the first strange thing to find the reason for this change." ”

Song Xing keenly grasped the key point of Mr. Zhu Da's words, "Mr. knows where the strange thing first appeared?" ”

Mr. Zhu nodded: "I flipped through many classics such as "Alien Garden", "Hundred Demon Spectrum", "Duyi Zhi", "Cave Underworld", etc., and finally locked the location where the earliest strange records appeared, which was the most tragic battlefield before the Mongol army destroyed the Song Dynasty sixty-three years ago, Xiangyang City!" ”

As soon as Mr. Zhu Da said this, everyone present looked dazed, except for Chi Xin, and the eyes of the other three people flashed with surprise.

It's just because they all know what the Battle of Xiangyang 60 years ago meant to the Song and Yuan dynasties at that time.

The Mongols destroyed the Song Dynasty, it took a total of forty-five years before and after, and experienced countless wars, but after the destruction of Xiangyang City, in just three years, the Mongol army arrived in Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Song Gongzong, who was only 5 years old, was forced to surrender.

The Battle of Xiangyang was the largest, farthest, fiercest and longest major battle between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongols.

Xiangyang is located in the hinterland of the plain in the middle reaches of the Han River, and has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and has the titles of "the first city in China" and "the waist of the world".

Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia, accepted the opinion of Liu Quan, a general of the Southern Song Dynasty, that "if there is no Xiangyang, there will be no Huai, and if there is no Huai, Jiangnan will be at your fingertips", "attack Xiangyang first, and withdraw its defense", and concentrate key forces to attack Xiangyang.

As a result, over the decades, the two sides dispatched the most elite troops in the world at that time to fight for Xiangyang, with a cumulative number of casualties of more than 400,000.

It can be said that under Xiangyang City at that time, it was a human flesh grinding plate, no matter how many troops were thrown into it, it was like a bottomless pit.

It doesn't seem particularly strange that such a bloody battlefield could give birth to an incomparably terrifying monster.

"If you have the chance, you can go to Xiangyang City to explore. You are still young, and you have not experienced the scene of Guo Daxia's heroic sacrifice when he guarded Xiangyang City, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't go out of Lin'an City, I should go to pay my respects. ”

Mr. Zhu Da chattered for a while, and then said: "It should be true that the place where the strange thing was born requires a lot of killing power, but that alone should not be enough. If you are familiar with the books on strange things, you will find that most of the so-called strange things have some similarities with the ghosts and ghosts recorded in some kind of strange books of the predecessors. For example, as I just said, the Earth Sheep Station can turn people's internal organs into sand and stones, and the tricks that appear in the Dragon Gate Dart Game also have that ability. ”

Song Xing thought thoughtfully: "What does Mr. Big mean is that the strange thing relies on the power of a large number of killings, and entrusts the legend of some kind of ghost in the folk, from false to true, with the present in this world?" ”

Mr. Zhu nodded, "That's pretty much what it means, but why didn't this phenomenon happen before, but sixty years ago, there was a strange thing, and I still haven't figured it out." ”

Song Xing clenched his fists and said: "Listening to Mr. Big's words, it has solved our great doubts." ”

Mr. Zhu Da waved his hand, "Studying strange things is just my own interest, if it weren't for Li Tianyuan's face this time, I wouldn't have talked so much with you." ”

After that, he looked at Yin Susu, "Girl, for the sake of you being Li Tianyuan's junior, I'll say one more thing, kill the trick of the Longmen Dart Bureau, I have never seen any record before, the ability is too weird, maybe when you see it, it is the moment of death, listen to my advice, don't get involved, tricks are different from people." ”

Yin Susu saw Mr. Zhu's advice, and responded with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Da for your advice, Su Su knows the severity, and this visit is also for this Wudang Zhang Wuxia to clear his grievances, and he will not be overwhelmed." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Cuishan took a step forward and arched his hand: "Mr. Zhu, it's not that Zhang doesn't know what to do, it's really that the Shaolin faction misunderstands that I am the real murderer of the Longmen Dart Bureau." If I can't find the trick, Zhang will die, and I am afraid of causing a conflict between Wudang and Shaolin, so for the sake of the master and myself, I will grit my teeth and investigate. If Mr. Big has clues to tell, Zhang Cuishan is grateful! ”

Mr. Zhu Da sighed and shook his head, "That's it, it's hard to persuade the damned ghost with good words, since you insist, I'll help you one last time." ”

Without waiting for Zhang Cuishan to thank him, Mr. Zhu Da turned around and walked back to the tiled house.

This time it didn't take long to wait, and after a few breaths, it reappeared, and the book in his hand was gone, replaced by a black sheep with a pitch-black body.

When the black sheep's eyes turned, the blue eyes stared at the few people outside the house, and Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu felt a slight coldness in their hearts for no reason.

Song Xing raised his eyebrows, a little curious: "This sheep in Mr. Big's hand is also a trick?" ”

Hearing that the black cat was a strange thing, Zhang Cuishan and the others were taken aback.

Mr. Zhu nodded approvingly: "The kid has good eyesight," After speaking, he looked at Yin Susu, a little dissatisfied: "Didn't Li Tianyuan say anything about me?" ”

Seeing Yin Susu shaking his head, he snorted coldly and was suddenly a little dissatisfied.

Yin Susu became more and more curious about what happened between his uncle and Mr. Zhu back then, looking at Mr. Zhu's performance, he obviously still remembered his uncle's kindness to save his life, but he didn't understand why his uncle was reluctant to associate with him later.

Mr. Zhu Da touched the black sheep in his hand, and said slowly: "Nine out of ten of the tricks in the world are vicious, but there are no absolutes in everything, and there are some tricks that are not bloodthirsty and murderous. This is a trick that I accidentally got back then, and its only function is to use it for divination. ”

After that, the black sheep in Mr. Zhu Da's hand suddenly turned into a black light, flew to his smooth head, and changed into a strangely shaped hedgehog crown.
