Chapter 59: Corpse Transformation

When Ye Feng and Tang Da came to the mass grave, the sky was getting dark.

On the way, Ye Feng couldn't help but ask Tang Da about Gu poison.

This was originally one of the purposes for him to arrange for Tang Da to go to Yizhuang with him, that is, to transfer other people and get along with Tang Da alone, so that he could ask some questions.

It's not that he doesn't trust other people, Ye Feng has always been sincere to his friends.

It's just that for Tang Da, there is a special sense of trust in his heart.

From the first acquaintance in Huashan to the present, along the way, Tang Da has accompanied him through many ups and downs, how many lives and deaths, and has always stood firmly behind him and supported him with all his might.

In his heart, Tang Da may be the person who is most worthy of dependence.

So in the current situation, he really hopes to hear Tang Da's opinion.

Tang Da was not shy about it, but he didn't know much about Gu poison.

He only knew that Gu poison was a secret technique of the Five Poison Sects in the southwest Miaojiang area, although it was famous, there were very few people who knew the inside story, and it was passed down by the masters of the past generations.

Five Poison Gates, Five Poison Gates!

Prior to this, the name of this Five Poisons Gate had appeared many times.

When he was in Lanzhou, the poison that Song Hu, the little marquis of Xining, used to poison him and Lord Zhou, the prefect of Lanzhou, came from the Five Poison Sect.

Later, in the Shaolin Temple, the mysterious poison used to poison Master Ning Ran Gai and the abbot Master Renshan Yigong also originated from the Five Poison Gate.

Now, the Gu poison that appeared in this Xi'an city turned out to be the secret of the Five Poison Sect!

Although these five poisonous sects never really appeared in front of Ye Feng, they seemed to have been lurking around, like shadows everywhere, peeking at Ye Feng in the dark.

Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and sighed: "It's the Five Poison Sect again!What kind of sect is this Five Poison Sect, and why does it keep faintly appearing around us?"

Tang Da turned his head to look at Ye Feng, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and after a long time, he suddenly sighed: "Actually, this Five Poison Sect still has some relationship with my Shuzhong Tang Sect. ”

"Oh?" Ye Feng turned his head to look at Tang Da curiously, "So, Tang Sect actually knows a lot of secrets of the Five Poison Sect?"

Tang Da shook his head and said, "If you want to talk about the origin, it was a long time ago. Everyone in the world knows that in addition to the art of organs and hidden weapons, my Tang Sect is unique in the rivers and lakes, and the use of poison is also one of the reasons why people in the rivers and lakes are famous and fearful. ”

"But my Shuzhong Tang Sect never makes poisons, and all the poisons are actually purchased from the Five Poison Sects in the same southwest border. Not to mention outsiders, even among the Tang Sect, few people know about this. ”

"Legend has it that a long time ago, the Tang Gate in Shuzhong was far from having such a momentum in the rivers and lakes as it is now, and the Five Poison Gate and the Tang Gate in Shuzhong at that time had formed an alliance to jointly seek hegemony. ”

"The cooperation between the two swept away almost all the other big gangs in the southwest corner, and the Tangmen in Shuzhong also learned the method of poisoning and detoxification from the Five Poison Sects. But how can such an alliance last long if it is only for profit?"

"The so-called one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, and soon, the two families tore their faces and began to fight. In the end, the Tangmen of Shuzhong paid a heavy price, but they also drove the Five Poisons Gate back to Miaojiang and stayed away from the rivers and lakes from then on. And the Tangmen in Shuzhong has since become the largest gang in the southwest. ”

"It's just that after losing the support of the Five Poison Sects, the Tang Sect in Shuzhong doesn't know how to make poisons, so the children of the Tang Sect gradually rarely use poison. To the outside world, it is claimed that the children of the Tang Sect are too proud and disdain to feed poison on the hidden weapon, but in fact, it is not toxic at all. ”

"Although we can still buy some poisons from the Five Poison Sect, they are just some ordinary goods, and the top poisons of the real Five Poison Sect that are extremely powerful and difficult to refine are never willing to be taken lightly. ”

"By the time my grandfather Tang Taigong was the abbot of the Shuzhong Tang Gate, there was less and less contact with the Five Poison Sects, and there was almost no contact except for business. ”

He looked at Ye Feng

He smiled and said, "So, I don't know much about the Five Poison Sect now. It's just that I know that their door master is a woman named Lan Pozi, who has been living in seclusion, and no one in the Five Poisons Sect has ever seen her true face. ”

"It's just that this Lan Pozi is said to be very powerful, and she is not even inferior to my grandfather Tang Taigong in terms of martial arts. ”

Ye Feng listened to Tang Da's story with great interest, and he really couldn't imagine that there were so many entangled grievances between the Five Poison Sect and the Tang Sect in Shuzhong.

Blinking, he opened his mouth and asked, "Then this Gu poison technique, since it is the secret of the Five Poison Sect, is it a method that only the sect master can use?"

Tang Da thought for a moment before replying: "Most likely, what do you mean, since there is a Gu poison in Xi'an City, then it is very likely that Lan Pozi, the master of the Five Poison Gates, has also come to Xi'an City?"

Ye Feng nodded.

If his inference is correct, and the murderer is really the master of the Five Poisons Sect, Lan Pozi, then it will be much easier to find the traces of an old woman who came to Xi'an City from a foreign country before the plague occurred.

I believe that this is not a difficult thing for the supernatural power of the heavenly will Lou Ji Wushuang Gongzi.

A glimmer of hope surged in Ye Feng's heart, and his steps under his feet also accelerated.

It's already dark.

The mass graves are actually the places where those poor families and unclaimed outsiders are hastily buried after death.

The hillside is full of graves, overgrown with weeds, and some of them don't even have tombstones, not even a single wooden sign, which looks very desolate.

Ye Feng sighed in his heart, he was also born as a human being, some people can be buried in a grand ceremony after death, and enter the treasure land of feng shui, while some people can only hastily draw an end to their lives here, and they may not even be able to keep their names.

What an unfair fate!

Just as he was sighing, when he looked up, a big dark house appeared on the hillside, presumably this Yizhuang had arrived.

In fact, this house seems to have been a temple dedicated to the land of the mountain god, but now it is abandoned, so it is used as a righteous village.

Pushing open the two broken and heavy temple doors, there was a terrible "squeak" sound, which suddenly abruptly abruptly rose in the silent night, making people feel their hearts jumping.

In the courtyard inside the door, there are many simple thin wooden coffins stacked in a mess, it seems that this plague is indeed very powerful, and there are really many strangers who have died of the epidemic, they are all lying here quietly waiting for their relatives in their hometown to come to claim it, or after the time limit is up, they will be hastily buried in the ground somewhere outside.

Ye Feng glanced at the coffin, and his heart was a little sad, he took a deep breath, and asked loudly, "Is there anyone?"

No response.

Looks like there should be no one here.

They screamed several times in a row, and just as Ye Feng and Tang Da were about to return disappointed, a sound suddenly came from a coffin close to the main hall.

Ye Feng took a closer look and saw that the lid of the coffin was slowly moving!

Could it be a corpse?

The zombie in this coffin is trying to come out?

Ye Feng and Tang Da were both people who didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but when they saw this scene in front of them, they still couldn't help but feel panicked in their hearts, and they couldn't help but glance at each other.

The coffin lid suddenly flipped open, and the contents of the coffin suddenly sat up!

Ye Feng's heart trembled, and when he looked at it, there was actually an old man in the coffin!

The old man was dressed in shabby cloth clothes, and his gray hair and beard looked like they hadn't been groomed in a long time, and they looked sloppy in a mess.

What's more, this old man's cheeks are red, and you can smell the smell of wine wafting from his body from afar, this old man is a drunk!

Since he can drink, it proves that he is still a person, not a ghost or a zombie or anything.

Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked tentatively, "Old Li Tou?"

The old man stretched out his hand and rubbed his drunken eyes, carefully looked at the two uninvited guests, and then asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in Yizhuang in the middle of the night?"

Hearing this, Ye Feng finally confirmed that the old man in the coffin in front of him was the old Li Tou who was in charge of taking care of Yizhuang.

He let out a long sigh of relief and asked, "Why are you in the coffin?"

Lao Li Tou had a blank expression: "Sleep." ”

Ye Feng couldn't help but be a little angry: "Are you sleeping in a coffin?"

Lao Li Tou sneered: "Otherwise, or should I sleep on the big and soft brocade bed inside?"

Ye Feng was a little speechless, except for the coffin, there was indeed nothing else here.

But a big living person, lying in a coffin and sleeping, always made him feel a little strange in his heart.

Lao Li Tou got up from the coffin and climbed out, and said faintly: "Actually, the coffin is very good, and it can also shelter from the wind and rain, you should also give it a try if you have the chance, get used to it first." Anyway, sooner or later, everyone has to lie down in it. ”

Lao Li Tou's words sounded simple, but to Ye Feng's ears, he felt quite reasonable, and he was a little silent for a while.

Lao Li Tou carefully looked at the two people in front of him, and probably felt that they were dressed more exquisitely, and it seemed that they were rich people, his expression softened slightly, and he asked, "The two sons are here to claim the corpses?"

Ye Feng replied lightly: "We are here to find someone." ”

"Looking for someone?" Lao Li Tou snorted from his nostrils, "There is no one here except the dead." You're not here to make friends with the dead, are you?"

Ye Feng didn't feel sorry for his words at all, and said, "About ten days ago, there were five people surnamed Sun in the inn, one old and four young, a total of five people, do you still have an impression?"

Lao Li was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "It turns out that you are looking for them." ”

With that, he took out a small half of the candle from his bosom and lit it.

The candle head looked like a very cheap and inferior one, and the flame was smaller than a bean, and the faint light of the fire could not even illuminate the ground in front of the eyelids.

Lao Li Tou carefully held the candle head, turned around and walked in front, led Ye Feng and them into a corner of the main hall, pointed to several coffins in front of him and said, "They are here." ”

Through the faint light of the candle head, Ye Feng saw five thin wooden coffins of the same inferior quality in front of him, four of which had already been nailed, but one of them was open, and the inside was empty.

Lao Li said expressionlessly: "These five people were still neat when they were sent that night, and they were all placed here, who knew that the next morning, the four young ones were still there, but the old ones were gone." I searched for a long time, but I didn't find it. ”

Ye Feng didn't think it was strange at all when he saw him, and couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and asked, "Does it happen that corpses disappear here?"

Lao Li Tou snorted and said: "It's not very often, but there have been so many times in the last month or two, it's some senseless people who don't know why they come to steal the body, and they don't know what to steal, in short, if you stay here for a long time, anything strange will happen, and it's not strange." ”

Ye Feng nodded, lowered his head and thought about it.

There were still people who stole the corpses? They stole the corpses of the old man from Lao Sun's family? Why didn't they steal the bodies of these four descendants together? What was the use of these corpses?

He was thinking about it, but suddenly there was a click in front of him, and something fell to the ground.

Ye Feng looked at it, but it was the small piece of candle head that Lao Li Tou was holding in his hand that fell to the ground and had already been extinguished.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Lao Li, who had an indifferent expression just now, but at this time, his face turned pale, staring at the courtyard outside in amazement, his lips trembled for a long time, and he muttered: "Ghost, ghost! corpse, corpse has changed!"

Before the words fell, Lao Li's body went weak and collapsed.

He fainted.
