Chapter 55: Reason
"I didn't expect that the corpse of the master mother of the Shi family had changed, and it might be the source. ”
Chi Zheng left Shi's house and walked on the empty and silent street, still reminiscing about what he had just seen.
He was still hesitating, should he kill the corpse of the Shi family's housewife with a sword, or should he notify Song Zhutou and the others to come to the door directly?
But there is no evidence for this matter, even if you come to the door, I am afraid that you will not be able to hold the handle of the historian. That Yang Xianzun may not dare to act like this.
"The old man is going to send the coffin up the mountain tomorrow to hide it, but it's a chance......"
Chi Zheng was walking and thinking, when a voice came from behind him: "Dao Chang stays." ”
The sudden sound made Chi Zheng turn his head suddenly, but under the cold moonlight, there was no one to be seen.
"Who is it?"
"The Taoist ......"
The faint voice seemed to be close in front of him, and it seemed to be far away in the sky, unlike the sound, Chi Zheng, who had not seen a single shadow, was stunned, and then cast the "Tongyu" spell.
His pupils constricted and then dilated, and the blue circle of light caused ripples in his eyes, and the night no longer blocked his vision, and he saw the source of the sound at once.
It was a middle-aged man in a black official uniform, wearing a brocade crown and holding a wat board, and was bowing to Chi Zheng: "Dao Chief, the little god is the Xiahai City God, and he has something to present to the Dao Chief." ”
"Xiahai Chenghuang?"
Chi Zheng was really surprised, he was stunned for a moment, remembering the mountain god he had met before, he was in a bad mood, and said vigilantly: "Are you Xiahai Chenghuang?"
"How dare the little god deceive the Taoist?" the person who came smiled bitterly, "The little god's surname is Wan, his real name is a 'jin' word, he is fortunate to be worshiped by the people of Xiahai, and he became a god in Wude for seven years, one hundred and twenty-nine years ago. ”
"If you are really a local city god, you don't know what to look for me?"
Chi Zheng had even seen the mountain gods and the river gods, although he was surprised at first, but soon felt that it was no big deal.
"The little god knows that the Taoist is visiting the historian at night tonight, and he also understands what the Taoist is busy with, so he has come to present the past......"
"It seems that you know very well what happened?" Chi Zheng looked at Chenghuang Wanjin with interest, "Since you are a local Chenghuang, you should have the duty to defend the city and drive away evil spirits, right?"
Wan Jin said bitterly when he heard this: "Dao Chief, it's not that the little god doesn't care, but he is really powerless. ”
Without waiting for Chi Zheng to continue to ask, Chenghuang continued to explain: "Now that we are in troubled times, people's livelihood is withering, wars are continuous, people are displaced, and hunger is everywhere, how can we talk about the heart to worship? As far as the little gods know, here in Gyeongju, most of the county gods in the prefecture have been wiped out, and the little gods are only surviving, and their divine power is difficult to sustain. ”
He felt as if he was listening to a lonely old man sighing.
"So you don't have the ability to take care of it, so you are looking for the poor road now to ......"
"Dao Chief, you are the only true cultivator with mana that you have seen in the past few decades, and you are the only one who can stop this. ”
Chenghuang Wanjin paused and summed up the following language: "A month ago, the mother of the Shi family's 'Shi Zhang' died, and the head of the Shi family, Shi Laixiang, was grief-stricken. ”
"Back from the dead?" Chi Zheng frowned.
"I think the Taoist also understands that people can't be resurrected after death, so after the death of the 'Shi Zhang family', Shi Laixiang used the ancient method to retain the seven spirits of the 'Shi Zhang family', but the three souls dissipated, and it is impossible to resurrect the dead again, this method is just to make the 'Shi Zhang family' have a soul without a soul, and the shape is just like a 'walking corpse'......"
This Chi Zheng knows that a person has volitional thinking, but everyone's volitional thinking is impossible to control the peristalsis of the stomach and intestines, the beating of the heart, etc., and the operation of the human body's own organs is spontaneous, and it does not need the will to participate in it, but the nervous system is controlled in different divisions of the cerebral cortex.
And the seven spirits of the three souls and the seven spirits are the seven spirits that say that the operation of the human body is dominated by the seven spirits.
"If you want to bring the 'Shi Zhang clan' back from the dead, you need to suck seven hundred and forty-nine men born of Yang Yue, and those twelve people, if the Taoist chief goes to check, you can know that each of them was born of Yang Yue. But this is actually ridiculous, even if you suck the forty-nine men born of the Yang Moon, you will definitely not be resurrected, but you will become a walking corpse. ”
Chenghuang Wanjin made a bitter face: "Now the 'Shi Zhang's' only sucked the essence and blood of twelve people, it is already very powerful, last night the 'Shi Zhang's 'instinct was driven, and went to the yamen to find the man born in the yang moon, the little god couldn't bear it, and tried his best to help the man escape, I didn't want the 'Shi Zhang' to just hurt that person, and he would go crazy for a while, like a walking corpse, and he would kill the cell head jailer when he turned around." If you wait for the 'Shi Zhang clan' to go down and suck ** blood like this, the people in the city will lose their lives. ”
"I see," Chi Zheng said, "that poor Dao will go back now and destroy that 'Shi Zhang clan'." ”
"The Taoist must not," Chenghuang Wanjin blocked, "that walking corpse lurks day and night, and the third watch is the strongest in the middle of the night, and if the Taoist chief wants to go, it is extremely dangerous and difficult to exterminate." And the 'Shi Zhang clan' still has the remaining nine walking corpses, even if the 'Shi Zhang clan' is destroyed and the nine walking corpses lose their control, the surrounding people are afraid that a great disaster is coming. ”
"Then what do you say?" Chi Zheng stopped.
"Dao Chief, the walking corpse lurks during the day, and does not like the light, if it is killed during the day, it can be done," Chenghuang said solemnly, "Since the 'Shi Zhang Clan' will be taken to Qingzheng Mountain tomorrow, the Dao Chief can send someone to bring the coffin back quietly." ”
"Do you want Poor Dao to destroy the nine walking corpses before dealing with the 'Shi Zhang Clan'?"
Chi Zheng understood: "Do you know where the nine walking corpses are?"
Chenghuang showed a wry smile: "Those nine walking corpses...... It is in the City God Temple. ”
......
......
Song Zhutou in the compound walked back and forth anxiously, and the trappers next to him also stared at him one by one, in the same anxious mood.
Some of them participated in the capture of the corpse transformation last night, and some of them didn't participate last night, but when they heard about it today, they just felt their scalps tingle.
No one wanted to come, but they had to come.
If you don't come, I'm afraid the county will have to peel off the skin of those who can't come.
"Why haven't you come back yet?" Song Zhutou looked up at the overcast night sky from time to time, and naturally couldn't see anything.
Does it take so long to be a night scout?
Of course, such a large mansion, even if it is turned into and walk around openly, it will take a lot of time, not to mention sneaking in to avoid everyone's eyes and carefully looking for clues, which will take even longer.
But although he knew what was going on, and understood that it would be delayed for a long time, the anxiety in his heart would not be reduced by half a point.
"I don't know what kind of night exploration method the master wants?"
Somehow, Song Zhutou suddenly remembered the experience of his youth.
