Chapter 179: Changle Town
"Don't scare yourself. Yu Zhong said.
He went up and looked closely, and found that the year of birth and death was written on each tablet, and many of them died in their twenties and thirties, recalling that the master had said that there had been a plague here, which could explain the situation.
"Do you ever think that the tablets here all seem to be new? There is a lot of incense here, and the tablets will inevitably be smoked with a layer of black oil, like you look at the top rows. Bai Li said suddenly.
Yu looked at it, and it was really like this, except for the top rows, which looked like tablets that had been enshrined many years ago, the other tablets looked like they should have been placed at the same time.
And most of these new tablets belong to those who died at a young age.
Suddenly, Bai Li Yu shouted, pointed to a tablet with a very ugly face, and said hesitantly: "Yu ...... Brother Yu, do you remember...... What's the name of the girl we rescued?"
"I think it's called Cui'er, what's wrong?" Yu Zhong replied after recalling.
"Look at this tablet......" Bai Li said.
Yu Chong walked over to take a look, and saw that Cui'er's name was written on this tablet, and the year of birth and death was also very similar to the age of the girl they saved.
"It won't be so evil!" Yu Zhong was also startled.
"Whether we can save people or ghosts ......," Bai Liyu said.
"Don't talk nonsense, where are the ghosts in this world, you talk and laugh with people along the way, do ghosts have body temperature?"
"Well, what's going on with this tablet? Baili Shu was a little relieved.
Although they still had a lot of doubts in their minds, they had planned to stay here for a night and leave, and there was no need to meddle too much. The two of them made a round, and when they saw that there were no other problems, they went back to the resting room and slept in their clothes.
Somehow, maybe this place is really a little weird, and people don't sleep very well. Yu Zhong woke up in the middle of the night when he suddenly heard some sounds on the street outside.
"Why, why don't you sleep in the middle of the night? Yu Zhong muttered to himself as he walked out to see what was going on.
As soon as he left the ancestral hall, he saw many townspeople, walking in the same direction. It's just strange that these townsfolk don't seem to be very conscious, and their eyes are empty, like a walking corpse.
The hairs stood on end, where were the townsfolk going?, he hurriedly followed, and finally found that the townspeople had come to a square, and he found a hidden place outside the square to observe.
The townsfolk lined up into the square, where a crowd of strangely dressed men stood, and each townsman who passed in front of them would check the townspeople's eyes.
Some of them will be stopped by them and enter a strange room in the square, with a wisp of smoke floating from the chimney. Some people were disappointed that they couldn't get into the room.
"What are you doing?" suddenly a hand slapped Yu Zhong from behind.
"Quietly. Yu Chong said without replying. With his current martial arts cultivation, if someone could get within twenty steps of him, it would mean that he would have already heard who this person was.
"It's really boring, I want to scare you. Baili Shu leaned over and said.
At this time, Bai Li Yu also noticed the situation in the square, and also felt very strange, and he also noticed that the townspeople who came here were all men.
Most of them returned the way they came, after being checked. And those who were allowed to enter the square hut never came out again. In just a few moments, seven or eight people had already entered, and the room didn't look like it could fit so many people.
And every time a person entered the room, a thick cloud of black smoke rose from the chimney, and after a while it was back to normal.
There was smoke, which proved that there was a fire in that house. And after these people entered, what was the reason for the cloud of black smoke that rose up? Bai Liyu suddenly didn't dare to think about it.
"I said Boss Yu, that room can't be burning," he swallowed, but didn't say the second half ......of the sentence.
Yu Zhong knew what he was going to say, nodded his head, and said, "I'm the same as you think, but what's going on, you can't see the result just by looking here, we have to scratch our tongues." ”
Obviously, the people in the square in strange costumes are still normal, they still talk and chat with each other, and their expressions are normal.
Suddenly, a man ran out of the square holding his stomach and looking pained. He found a corner where no one was, took off his pants and squatted down, and after a crackling sound, his expression became very comfortable, it turned out to be diarrhea.
When he finished solving the problem of internal urgency, as soon as he lifted his pants, Yu Zhong gave him a blow from behind, and he fainted on the spot.
Then Yu Zhong was like an eagle catching a chicken, and he took this person to see Baili Shu.
"Are you too heavy, you can't wake up for a long time. After waiting for a long time, seeing that this person was still not awake, Baili Yu was anxious.
"No, I'm just a light slap, maybe he's too careless. Yu Zhong looked at his hand and gestured.
"In the middle of the night, there's no place to find water. Suddenly, Baili had an idea and had an idea. I saw him take off his pants and pee in front of this man's face.
Not to mention, this method is quite useful, the fainting person was poured with urine, and woke up after a while.
When he saw Yu Zhong and Bai Lixi, he was about to shout for help, but he found that a cold sword had reached his throat, so he didn't dare to make a sound.
"I'll ask, you answer, or I'll take your life immediately, understand?" Yu Zhong said coldly.
The man nodded hurriedly, it seemed that he was also a guy who was afraid of death.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" asked Yu Zhong.
"Back to ...... Hui Daxia, we are the people of the Impermanence Gate, and we are refining the elixir here. The man stammered in reply.
"Do you have a leader, where is he, how many of you have come?" asked Yu Zhong sharply.
"Our sect master is in the hut in the square, and in order to refine the elixir, we have a total of more than two hundred disciples all over Changle Town. He answered the rest of the questions one by one.
"What's wrong with these townspeople, why are they as unconscious as zombies?" asked Yu Zhong again.
"They are all medicine primers that we have cultivated, but they are all dead people. He replied.
Hearing this, Yu Zhong slapped the disciple of the Impermanence Sect with a backhand again. After only asking a few questions, he and Bai Liyu were already speechless in shock.
"Have you ever heard of this Gate of Impermanence?" Yu Zhong asked.
Baili shook his head like a rattle, indicating that he had never heard of it at all.
"I really know some ......" At this time, Yu Zhong suddenly remembered that he had seen these three words in a book by chance, and he thought it was just some strange theory, but he didn't expect to encounter such a strange thing tonight.
The Gate of Impermanence, this is a very old organization, according to the book, it has existed for thousands of years. Although it has a long history, this is not a decent family.
According to the official statements of all dynasties, this is a cult. It is said that the Sect of Impermanence is very evil, and it is good at raising a poisonous insect that parasitizes the human body from the time it is still an egg, and it only takes one day in the human body to hatch.
After hatching, the larvae are poisonous, and the parasitic person will immediately fall ill, with a high fever that does not go away, just like an epidemic, and there is no cure.
Then the poisonous insect will follow the bloodstream, all the way into the human brain, and begin to eat and control the human brain, during which time the parasitic host will fall into a state of suspended animation, unconscious.
After about ten days, the insect has completely taken control of the human brain, and the host will wake up.
Although they are no different from ordinary people on weekdays, they can run, jump and talk, but at this time they have been controlled by poisonous insects and will only follow the instructions of the impermanence gate.
But this is not the most evil sect, and the more evil sect is still to come.
Poisonous insects not only control human thoughts in the host's brain, but also continue to eat away at human brains. So the host will only become less and less awake until eventually the brain is eaten away, completely losing active consciousness and becoming a real walking corpse.
At this time, the host's eyes will turn completely black, which means that the poisonous insect has matured.
Legend has it that there is an evil skill in the Gate of Impermanence, which can prolong life and increase power after practice, and the medicine it needs is the elixir that this poisonous insect has practiced after it matures.
However, this pill is very demanding, and it can only be a poisonous insect cultivated in a strong man, and it can only be used to refine the pill. A total of nine hundred and eighty-one male and female insects are required, and they can be refined for 7749 days before they can become medicines.
This meant that a total of one hundred and sixty-two men were needed to cultivate poisonous insects, and the refining method was to directly throw people into the Dan furnace, although these people were actually dead at this time, it was still cruel and outrageous.
Acting in this way, it is no wonder that the Impermanence Gate has always been designated as a cult by the government of all dynasties.
"I'm a good girl, this is too evil. After listening to what Yu Zhong said about the Gate of Impermanence, Baili Yu was disgusted and wanted to vomit.
"I didn't expect the legendary Impermanence Gate to really exist, but these poor townspeople have already been persecuted by them. Yu Zhong said through gritted teeth.
At this time, when I think of the events of Changle Town, all this is right. It was precisely because many people were infected with poisonous insects that people thought that there was a plague, and those who were not poisoned left Changle Town in a hurry.
That's why when Yu Zhong asked the dart master about the news of Changle Town during the day, he would say that there was a plague here and it had been deserted. And those tablets in the ancestral hall are supposed to be tablets set up for these poisoned people by the people who have left.
