Chapter 68: The Man in the Coffin
"You're finally able to speak normally, don't panic, tell me who you really are and why you are the way you are.
I look at you, it's not been a day or two since you've become like this, so it shouldn't be in the way if you wait a little, right?"
Li Zhen did not rush to make a move, but opened his mouth to ask, and at the same time judged his mental state and mood changes.
Under Li Zhen's infection, the man's mood calmed down a little, but he still couldn't hide his sorrow, and said sadly: "I originally helped the Orion Zhao San under the rule of Youcheng, and went into the mountain with people, but I suffered an accident and became such a person......
In Zhao San's narration, a story that is similar to the rumors is narrated.
However, the difference in details is that Zhao Wuyan did not retain any humanity as rumored, and when he was acting outside, he had turned into a powerful ghost who went around killing people and asking for his life, but he was the executioner of the Blood Yan Palace.
“...... In fact, at the beginning, my mind was able to sober up from time to time and seize the right to dominate, and some actions of letting go of the living and resisting orders were also made at that time, but later, the people of the Blood Yan Palace did not know what evil methods were used to control me, and my body gradually did not obey the call, and I lost consciousness.
I only know that the palace master gave me a name, called Zhao Wuyan, and used me to hunt and kill scattered cultivators and all kinds of demons everywhere, and used their corpses to refine the black devil zombie ......"
Li Zhen said: "Black Devil Zombie, is it the kind of monster that is similar to your body?"
Zhao San said: "Yes, they call it the gift of Tai Sui of their own land, trying to master the method of reincarnation and rebirth after rigidity. ”
Li Zhen said: "I've always heard you talk about Jitu Tai Sui, what is that?"
Zhao San said: "My land is too old...... It's a mushroom, no, I don't know if it's a mushroom or not...... It is said that it was discovered by a loose cultivator in the southern Xinjiang thousands of years ago, and it was originally expected to be used to transform the Dao body and promote the Yuan Infant, but then I don't know what happened, and it was buried in the mausoleum for thousands of years, until it was dug up by us, and it was once again alive and alive!"
When he said this, his face was full of pain and self-reproach.
Although it is rumored that it was the Fuyou City Lord who brought it out of the mausoleum, it was still them who first discovered and dug it up.
Without that experience, there wouldn't be as many things as followed.
Li Zhen also thought of this and sighed secretly, but he still continued to ask: "The place you broke into back then was the cemetery of the master of loose cultivation?"
Zhao San said: "Yes, the people from the Blood Yan Palace also said so." ”
Li Zhen said: "In that mausoleum, there should be something else besides Jitu Tai Sui, right?"
Zhao Sandao: "They also found the legacy left by the Sanxiu master in that mausoleum, and continued to carry out previous research, I awakened the inhuman bloodline in my body by chance, and they regarded it as a miracle and stayed to study...... But I really don't want to kill people anymore, and I don't want to be like this!
If you really can't save me, kill me, I'm here alone, and I really can't hold on!"
When he said this, his face was already weeping bitterly.
Li Zhen said coldly: "I'm afraid it's too late to kill you now." ”
Zhao San was stunned and said, "Why?"
Li Zhen said: "According to my observation, your consciousness has been closely integrated with the body of the corpse, and it has been integrated into the flesh and nerves through the infection of the fungus, even if your spirit is extinct, the body is still immortal. ”
"If you are killed, you will be no different from other zombies, and you will still wander the world as a monster. ”
When Zhao San heard this, he was a little frustrated: "So what, I can't manage so much anymore." ”
Li Zhen sneered: "You want to die, this is easy, but if you really die, I don't know who to clean up the mess left behind......!
In fact, it's not that I don't really care about it, but I really have a weak heart.
Li Zhen still hasn't been able to fully understand this thing, and he is not sure whether the divine power of the Great Shining River God can really be effective.
Li Zhen continued: "Let's not talk about this for a while, what is in the coffin behind you?"
Zhao San was slightly stunned when he heard this: "Inside the coffin...... Inside the coffin is my wife's mother...... By the way, they promised to help me resurrect her!
I can't die yet, I still have to resurrect Yi Niang......
I can't die yet......"
With the stirring of the mood, a chilling sweet fragrance emanated.
He seemed to have the hope of survival again, and the aura of the dream spirit body became a little brighter.
This damp and dark space has become more enlightened than ever before.
When Li Zhen heard this, he thought to himself.
Could it be that what transformation has her wife also undergone?
Orion Zhao San's wife should just be an ordinary person, why did she become a monster that could exude such a terrifying aura, and the surrounding plants and trees could be corrupted and mutated just by the venting machine, and she had to use a talisman to seal it?
If it weren't for this Zhao San deliberately lying, it would be the people of the Blood Yan Palace who deceived him, hanging his will to survive with an illusory hope, and retaining this only remaining self.
The ego of sentient beings, although it is a dust obstacle, is an important sign of distinguishing between you and me before awakening the alayya.
I am who I am, and this attachment is very important.
As a master of the Dharma Phase Realm who has awakened to the level of consciousness and roots, Li Zhen has also not been able to break his ego, but he has some understanding of the mechanism and the difficulty of cultivation, and he can see at a glance the deliberate arrangement of the strokes.
For some reason, he always felt that there was a conspiracy in it.
But Li Zhen didn't have his own guess to tell the other party, and telling the other party now is meaningless, it can only make him emotionally collapse and completely lose all his self.
Now that it is not easy to communicate with this Zhao San and know some deep insiders, how can he do this kind of thing rashly?
So he nodded at the other party's words, noncommittal.
"Yi Niang, she is still waiting for me to come back, I hunted a roe deer today, I can sell it in the town, and I will change her into beautiful clothes......"
Zhao San talked about Yi Niang, his eyes lit up, and he began to babble to himself.
Li Zhen did not interrupt him, but listened patiently, interjecting from time to time to ask a question or two, and gradually came to the conclusion that this person was only afraid that he had a confused memory and schizophrenia.
He seems to have two personalities, one is the self-orious Orion Zhao San, and the other is the mutated corpse Zhao Wuyan.
The various contradictions that the world has seen are all related to the contention in them, but they are not the remnants of humanity that they originally thought, but the dominance of different personalities.
So he tried to put this part of the topic aside and talk about the Blood Yan Palace quietly.
"Do you know what the connection between the Blood Yan Palace and the people of Yan Mountain is?"
Zhao San was really attracted to attention: "I don't know, I only know, there was a voice telling me that I was going north, and then I came here in a blink of an eye." ”
Li Zhen was slightly stunned.
Personality swapping?
Intermittent amnesia?
Soon after, Li Zhen withdrew from this Zhao San's dream and once again cast his suspicious gaze on the paulownia coffin behind him.
There may be something really hidden in this!
At this moment, Li Zhen, who was thinking, suddenly looked sluggish.
The withered and decaying vegetation on the ground grew back at some point, and grew to a height of several inches in the process of his own interrogation.
This was originally the effect of spiritual rain, mixed with divine power of the spiritual rain contains the effect of water element to nourish all things, and the full of sweet rain descended and benefited the world.
But unlike the usual times, this regrown plant is full of strange aromas, like the fragrance of flowers.
What's even more peculiar is that these aromas come from different varieties of things under your feet.
It stands to reason that even if there are occasional herbs in the wilderness, growing into spices and exuding fragrances, it is not surprising, but if all kinds of plants and trees emit the same smell, it is enough to be called strange.
Because in Li Zhen's perception, only the same genus and species, the same physiognomy, will exude the same fragrance.
However, the leaves and rhizomes of those plants and trees show different shapes, and there are differences in height and density, which can be easily distinguished.
"Could it be that just now they were also corpsed by special powers and transformed into the same species?"
Suddenly, Li Zhen thought of a possibility.
Glancing at Zhao Wuyan, who was standing there, as if he had fallen asleep, and then at the coffin on his back, Li Zhen thought about it.
"Actually asleep?"
"It seems that the weakness of this corpse man lies in the spirit, not the body, as long as the spiritual power can have the means to subdue him, it is actually not difficult to deal with, and the Persona people fight so hard, it is completely wrong?"
But this coffin has been carried by him all the time, and it is extremely dangerous. ”
He thought about it, and didn't touch it rashly, but took out the cicada wing silk made of his dragon vein, stirred it, and wrapped it around the other party's body out of thin air.
This time, Li Zhen can finally rest assured, because the water element containing the aura is isolated from the inside and outside, even if the coffin lid is opened and the hidden things are released, there will be no more leakage accidents.
"I'd like to see what it's in!"
But he still did not act rashly, but wrapped it up and disappeared from the spot.
Li Zhen took Zhao Wuyan to the Divine Kingdom of the Great Silky River God.
Through the dragon vein, the figures of the two quickly moved to a wide clearing in the distance.
It's deserted, with no signs of vegetation or life, and it's a great place to open it up.
"The law phase changes!"
Li Zhen's mind turned, and he re-transformed into the appearance of the child, blessed by the laws of heaven and earth, and blessed by the power of threefold.
Today's Li Zhen already has a carrying power of about 150 catties, and after showing the law, his talent is blessed with supernatural powers, and it immediately reaches more than 450 catties.
He flew close to Zhao Wuyan's body, his movements were fast and light, and under the single-minded and six-use skills brought by his six arms, he easily untied the chains while supporting Zhao Wuyan, like the most clever god stealing the bag and taking it off.
This scene is both powerful and dexterous, but Li Zhen himself is related to me, no matter how I look at it, I feel like those captains who touch gold open the coffin and touch gold......
If the action is too big, it will wake up Zhao Wuyan, which is equivalent to a dumpling corpse, too small and unable to untie the shoulder straps and untie the chains, this is really a test of technology, not everyone can do it easily.
But no matter what, he finally succeeded with the blessing of the natural ability of the Faxiang.
This time, Li Zhen also learned well, and urged all the wonderful incense recipes with all his might, just like he did with the Great Silky River God that day, to isolate Zhao Wuyan from the paulownia black coffin.
The outer layer is the water element shield formed by the cicada wing yarn, and the light waves inside are circulating, and a large amount of vitality is continuously transformed from the incense wishing power.
He began to borrow divine power from the god of the Great Silk River again, this place is close to the Great Silk River, and it is quite easy to use the divine authority if there is no interference from outsiders.
"It should be foolproof now. ”
After a little inspection, Li Zhen took off the talisman for the second time.
The eerie and terrifying power resurfaced, and in the midst of the black smoke, an ominous spirit element continued to spill out in all directions.
But soon, this black smoke touched the scent of repelling evil, as if filtered by a curtain of water, and quickly precipitated.
A small amount of black smoke filled the outside, and was cut off by the layer of water formed by the spiritual rain.
It really works.
Li Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly stepped forward and opened the lid of the coffin!
When doing this, he was mentally prepared enough, no matter whether he saw a man or a woman, old or young, he would not feel too surprised.
After all, this matter involves the conspiracy of the Blood Yan Palace and the Demon Dao Monk, and the things contained in it may be Zhao Wuyan's wife, the Yi Niang called in the mouth of the Dream Spirit, or the monk of the Blood Yan Palace, or the old corpse thousands of years ago, the scattered cultivator who created everything.
But when Li Zhen saw the things inside clearly by the moonlight, he was still startled.
Inside was a swarthy corpse lying in the black mold dust, its whole body like a black corpse stained with toner, its whole body was slippery and sticky, and it was full of disgusting texture.
It was as if a highly decomposed corpse had fallen into an asphalt pool, stained with black mud.
An indescribable stench emanated from it, and in a creepy low roar, the corpse seemed to be alarmed, and slowly climbed to the edge of the paulownia coffin, trying to get up.
"Soul Dream!"
Li Zhen didn't say a word, concocted it like a law, and entered his dream.
He wanted to see what kind of sacredness this carrion sleeping inside would be.
In the blink of an eye, the scene changed, and a vast and majestic huge hall appeared in front of Li Zhen, who used his spiritual body to condense the law and re-transform into a child's heavenly appearance, but saw a figure standing up from above, looking at it with an unbelievable look of shock on his face.
"Who is Your Excellency?"
He seemed to be quite knowledgeable, and he realized at once that things were not simple.
This boy who broke into his dream is by no means an idle person!
Li Zhen looked at the man, and suddenly laughed: "It's really not Zhao Orion's wife, but an old man...... Who are you?"
