The sky is high and the white clouds are flying, and the sky is bright, illuminating the green mountains below, and the green leaves become a sea.

Songshan Mountain Range, one of the five mountains, has been famous for a long time, the mountain is majestic, the water veins are abundant, it has attracted all dynasties, many capable people live here, there are more court rewards, the palace view and so on.

The people in the towns and villages in the mountains have also benefited from this, and their lives are more stable than those in other places where the mountains are lined with forests and the roads are rugged.

It's a pity that there was a corpse mutiny fifty years ago, and most of the small towns and villages in the mountains have been abandoned and deserted, only dormant living corpses, waiting for any living people to pass by, hunting for blood and food.

In the river outside the village, the waves suddenly rolled, and I saw a white python the thickness of a bucket, more than ten zhang long, meandering in the river, making a sound similar to a cow's roar.

The snake scales are originally delicate, but the scales of this giant python are as big as a sea bowl, and when swimming in the water, you can faintly see the ups and downs between the scales, revealing a kind of momentum with copper tendons and iron bones, and great strength.

The snake's tail was wrapped with iron chains, pulling a raft about two feet long and about one foot wide.

There were seven men and women sitting on the raft, all of them blue and black, with blood-red eyes, looking out at the banks of the river on both sides.

"The land of Kyushu is really vast, but it's a pity that it's too big, it's so difficult to find something to eat, or happy when you're on the island, every time you get out of the hole, you can't even go out of twenty miles, you can always bump into a living person."

A young man in a soap-colored robe complained, "Look at this desolate place, even those living corpses are already overly hungry, and they are really starving. ”

Another woman with an iron sword on her back said, "Although I am hungry, I have been awake for longer and longer since I came from the island and across the sea in accordance with the revelation in my dream. ”

"Originally, the festival I got in my dream was incomplete, but after it was held, although I avoided turning directly into those stupid living corpses, most of the time it was still muddy, and I was only awake for two or three days before and after the full moon."

"Every time I wake up, I don't know why I have changed places to live again, and why there are more wounds on my body, which is really annoying! You can only take advantage of the full moon to eat a few more people, so that you can feel better. ”

"Now that I am closer to my destination, I can be awake for more than three or four hours a day, and I am afraid that when things are done, there is hope for a complete recovery of energy."

They started talking about it, and there was a lot of discussion among them.

"However, at the beginning, it was obviously to guide us all the way to the west, to go to Chang'an, and to capture Chang'an to achieve what we wanted, and transform into a complete corpse demon clan, but a few days ago, we changed the target to a certain person, so that we have to take a detour to the north, who knows after a while, will it change again?"

The most calm of the seven people was only a tall and thin old man wearing a square scarf and a Taoist robe, who looked like a Confucian and Taoist.

This person's common name has been forgotten, when he was on Tuen Mun Mountain on the Kowloon Peninsula, he called himself the god of water, raised many strange pythons under his hands, forced several towns under the mountain, paid tribute to him, virgin beauty, handsome boy, silk tea, and demanded excessively.

Fifty years ago, the towns on the island couldn't bear it anymore and secretly plotted to invite masters to the merchant ships that went to sea to transit on the island from the Central Plains, Silla, and Fuso, and made a heavy promise to ask them to surround and kill this old monster of the water god.

Just as the two sides were fighting, the corpse mutiny came, and many masters should not have been reduced to living corpses so easily, but because they were injured, they were attacked on the spot.

The old monster of the water god was also infected with the disease of corpse transformation, after escaping, seeing that there were living corpses between the four fields, the symptoms of corpse transformation on his body were aggravating, anxious and angry, and intensified, killing when he saw the corpse, and killing people when he saw them, unintentionally because of the heavy blood on his body, he was guided by dreams, built a tower and a platform, and held a reincarnation ceremony.

But that rebirth was incomplete, so much so that he only had a short period of time a month on the night of the full moon when he was able to regain consciousness, so he had to find a remote cave to live in, in case he was besieged and killed if he was not awake.

The six people around him can be reincarnated as corpse demons, but in fact, they are more or less stained with his light, some people directly get his guidance, and some people borrow the tower he built to control the people back then, and they can also be regarded as his disciples.

This time, the seven received the same guidance, and when they left the island, they naturally came together.

"Who?!"

The old monster of the water god who closed his eyes and recuperated suddenly let out a low cry, slapped the raft with his palm, shook his body, and crossed half of the river and reached the shore.

The six men who were talking, alert at the same time, got up and looked to the shore.

I saw that as soon as the water god raised his hand, there seemed to be a layer of colorless waves in the air, and it suddenly took a shot.

A dilapidated house in front of it was torn apart, collapsed to the ground, and the smoke and dust did not have time to be lifted.

A figure hidden behind the broken house, but did not flee, but knelt on the ground, raised his hands high, and shouted: "Senior, slow!" ”

The water god old monster's eyes flashed with blood, and his palm stopped.

The one kneeling on the ground was a man wearing a green scarf, clearly a living person.

Of course, it is impossible for the old monster of the water god to stop because of the other party's words of begging for mercy, what really makes his subordinates merciful is a bird-shaped jade pendant raised by the man.

Mutton fat and white jade, the whole body is flawless, except for a little blood stain on the bird's back, with a faint dark red in the blue and black, revealing a subtle but extremely pure corpse demon breath.

For the old monster of the water god, that breath is really eye-catching: "When you see the old man's appearance, you dare to call your predecessors, heh, where did this jade pendant come from?" ”

The man knelt down, and said respectfully: "Under the surname Gu, the jade pendant is given by my ancestor, and many children in this Hui clan are also ordered by the ancestor to come out and search around, to see if there are any aliens like my predecessors, and invite my ancestor to be a guest!" ”

"The ancestor also said, the dream guide, only for one person, this person must be extraordinary, if you meet in twos and threes, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be poisoned, it is better to gather together, work together, in order to fight nine times out of ten, and catch it!"

The six people on the raft had also gone ashore, and when they heard this, their faces were strange.

How could they not hear it, the ancestor of the Gu family was clearly also a corpse demon, but how could there be a descendant of a living person, it still sounded like a big family, so loyal to it.

The old monster of the water god muttered: "Okay, then you lead the way, and we will go to meet your ancestor for a while." ”

As he spoke, the old monster stretched out his hand and made a move back, and the white python in the water, in a roll, had broken the chain on its tail and swam to the shore.

The old monster of the water god sat cross-legged on the head of the snake, and the giant python raised its head high, three or four feet above the ground.

The long tail of the snake's body swayed from side to side on the ground, but the head did not shake, and moved forward steadily.

After the man surnamed Gu smiled at the six disciples of the water god and the old monster, he trotted forward to lead the way.

Half an hour later, everyone came to the foot of a mountain, and saw the long stone steps, connecting to the top of the mountain, and the mountainside was covered with clouds and mist, which was really like a fairy victory.

This long live view, is the Xiao Han Dynasty period, Emperor Wu ordered to build, and later repeatedly repaired and expanded, the palace high-rise, the square courtyard, the scale is huge, from the top of the mountain to both sides of the mountainside.

The white python went up the stone steps, and it was actually like walking on the ground, without the slightest difficulty.

When the old monster of the water god went up to the middle of the mountain, he already noticed that there were more living people here, and even looked into the distance, and there seemed to be a small town with a large population at the bottom of the mountain.

However, when the living people who swept between these palaces saw the appearance of the old monster of the water god with blood-red eyes and green fangs, they did not have the slightest fear, but showed reverence on their faces, knelt down, raised their hands high, and kowtowed to them.

The six disciples of the water god old monster had already moved their index fingers when they saw so many living people, and they were a little overwhelmed when they saw such a scene.

"W-what's going on?"

The man surnamed Gu said with a smile: "They are visiting the immortal family, think about all the predecessors, they have not drunk or eaten for several years, but they are still strong and strong, their appearance is not old for decades, their skin is stronger than fine iron, and their life span is long, they can be compared with ordinary people, not an immortal family, what is it?" ”

The old monster of the water god suddenly snorted and laughed: "It turns out that your ancestor is also a peer. ”

Pretending to be a ghost, knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow, he was used to doing it fifty years ago, and he became famous and made a career.

It's just that the maritime trade was frequent back then, and although the Central Plains and Kyushu were in turmoil, they were still strong, and the people on the island couldn't bear it, so they had to invite outsiders to destroy him, the god of water.

Now that the world has changed dramatically, and all parts of the world are cut off from traffic, in this deep mountain and old forest, the ancestor of the Gu family has played tricks, but it is much more secure than he was back then.

"Don't hide it from you, my family has strict laws, if you go down the mountain to eat people, you will only eat on weekdays from the age of thirty, and you will not eat in front of their family in the downtown area, and the people nearby are grateful for the kindness of my family, and often have to go up the mountain to offer incense."

The man surnamed Gu said with a smile, "And my ancestor has already planned it, eight towers and one family, the reincarnation festival, built in the deep mountains, every time you are reincarnated, there will not be too many people, turning into the kind of living corpses that are inedible and don't know how to work." ”

"Now in my family, in addition to the ancestor, there are already ten clan elders and eight clan brothers and sisters, all of whom have turned into alien bodies, and the surrounding people are still living and working in peace and contentment, which shows that the ancestor is wise."

The old monster of the water god stroked his palm and smiled: "It is indeed a good method, it is really worth seeing the old man." ”

They went to the top of the mountain, but before they saw the ancestor of the Gu family, they found that on another mountain road, there was also a group of corpse demons, who were led to the top of the mountain.

At the time of the Wude Dynasty, there were fixed routes in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, with thousands of miles of ocean and trade in hundreds of countries, and it was prosperous.

On the South China Sea route, there are the Kingdom of Huan, the Door Poison Country, the Buddha Death Country, the Heling Kingdom and so on.

On the East China Sea Route, there are countries such as Silla, Baekje, Ryukyu, and Fuso.

These countries have been influenced by the culture of Kyushu in the Central Plains for generations, but when it comes to the local area, they are integrated with local customs, and each has its own deviation, so it can be seen from the clothing and accessories.

The old monster of the water god was also a well-informed person back then, although in the past fifty years, most of the time has been muddy, but recently his mind has become clearer, and he recognized the origin of those people on the spot, basically all of them are people from the countries of the South China Sea route.

Among the more than 20 corpse demons, there are three people's breath, which can arouse the vigilance of the water god old monster the most, presumably when he was still a human being, he has already stepped into the realm of the spirit into the body, and after the reincarnation of the corpse demon, he has made great progress.

The two Gu family members introduced both parties.

The old monster of the water god learned that those three people were the general of Jinzhou Dragon Tooth from the country of Buddha's death, and the mother-in-law of Shenpan and Mrs. Miaoxiang of the Heling country.

"I didn't expect to be able to gather so many colleagues today, it's really a gathering of heroes."

In the main hall of the Long Live Temple, it is the Emperor Zhongyue who is enshrined, and at this moment there is a hearty laughter from it, and then out of a black-haired golden hairpin, a young eyebrow, long beard and a purple robe old man.

Although he also has bloody eyes and blue skin, this person has no fangs in his mouth, his face is majestic, and his blue complexion is light and pure, which is very different from the terrifying posture of others who have blue fangs at a glance.

"In the West Building, I have never gone out to greet the owner of this place, and this is rude."

Gu Xilou clasped his hands into fists and saluted the surroundings.

Among the many corpse demons, some also responded with their own etiquette, but most of them did not care.

These corpse demons, when they were still human, they may not know any etiquette, and after being a corpse demon for so many years, they are even more animalistic in their bones.

If it weren't for the leading strongmen such as the water god old monster and the dragon tooth general, I was afraid that on the way up the mountain, they would have to go directly to the town to have a big meal, where would they be impatient to play with Gu Xilou what kind of false etiquette.

Gu Xilou didn't have any displeasure because they were rude, turned around, and invited everyone into the side hall together.

In the side hall, there are already many attendants waiting, and the table is set, the number is only a lot more, and after everyone is seated, there are still many empty seats.

The giant python of the old monster of the water god also followed, hovering behind him, with its head held high, spitting snake letters, and its eyes fixed on the wine jar on the main throne.

"Huh?"

The old monster of the water god noticed it, and also looked at the wine jar, thoughtful.

This giant snake was the only one of the monster pythons he raised back then to live to fifty years later, and he also accompanied him through the reincarnation ceremony, although he never turned into a corpse snake, but he also became addicted to human blood, and sometimes, he was more sensitive than the water god monster itself.

"The purpose of inviting all of you to come to the gathering today must have been heard when I met my Gu family's children."

Gu Xilou said straight to the point, "The person in our dream omen originally seemed to be far away on the shore of the Bohai Sea, but in the past two days, he has been moving west at a high speed, not far from Songshan. ”

"When the dream guided us to Chang'an, it was only in our sleep that we could have a clear sense of direction, but for this person, even when we were awake, we could detect the approximate location of this person."

"It can be seen that the source of the corpse transformation, our dream god, how much importance he is......"

"Brother of the Gu family!"

The Dragon's Tooth General suddenly spoke, interrupting him.

This person is known as a general, but he only wears a wide brown-red robe, with a bulging waist and no armor, which makes him look a little wide and fat.

"You want to talk to us about dealing with that target together, it's the same as General Ben, who can be said to be a hero, but we can sense him, who knows if he will sense us?"

"If that's the case, even if you discuss and plan some ambush and raid, I'm afraid it's useless, you still have to encircle and intercept it, and fight head-on."

"If Brother Gu is really sincere, instead of wasting words, it is better for us all to have a full meal."

As soon as he said this, it immediately caused a response from all the corpse demons.

Even a doorman from the water god's old monster's side shouted: "It's a big deal not to do something to your Gu family, let us go down the mountain, you point out which ones are not your family's descendants, and we will eat again." ”

The god-like mother-in-law on the other side glanced at this side when she heard this, covered her lips and chuckled.

Although she claims to be a mother-in-law and has white hair, she looks only in her thirties, with a plump body, a graceful posture, entangled in black sand, and a silver bell in her hand.

After they were reincarnated, their temperament has changed from the deepest depths, and their love and thirst for the flesh and blood of the living are no different from those of living corpses.

But compared to ordinary living corpses, after all, they retain their sane memories, and they have more desires, and lust is one of them.

The old man of the water god blamed the disciple, so he couldn't help but slow down his voice and asked, "What is the girl laughing at?" ”

"The full meal that Brother Longya is talking about is not aimed at the small people who are doing nothing under the mountain."

Shenpan's mother-in-law said, "On the bird-shaped jade pendant that Brother Gu asked the clansmen to bring, in addition to a drop of corpse demon blood, it was also mixed with a strange drink, and the taste of spices in it, a few of us can distinguish one or two." ”

"If I am not bad, this kind of wine is more satisfying than sucking dozens of people dry?"

Gu Xilou stroked his beard and said: "After all, eating people is monotonous, after so many years, I also want to change my taste, because I was addicted to alcohol back then, so I wanted to brew blood wine." ”

"But we eat people, sucking not only human blood, but also the soul, ordinary human blood naturally can't make good wine, after years of hard thinking, I came up with a wonderful method."

"Use a lot of medicinal materials to train disciples, use this set of self-created exercises, and guide them to practice, until they reach the realm of fist intent channeling, which has made them fuse the spirit of fist intent into the essence and blood, and they are themselves a vessel for brewing wine."

"The good wine raised in this way, after being tasted by bloodletting, can also be recuperated and restored, not to mention inexhaustible, it can be harvested at least three times, and its quality is not reduced."

Gu Xilou said with a smile, "What I used to entertain you today is the good wine that I picked for the first time. ”

"However, even if we can't fight an ambush, at least we must know each other's methods, so that we can cooperate when the time comes."

"If you want to taste this jar of wine, you have to let Gu Mou see your skills."

As he spoke, he pushed with one hand, and the big wine jar flew lightly and flew into the air at a uniform speed.
