Chapter 2 The Corpse Guard

"Corpse Guard?" Ye Lei also heard this name for the first time, although he said that he had read a lot of ancient books and documents, but this corpse guard was really the first time he had heard of it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"As the name suggests, the corpse guard is the one who guards these zombies, and the Xiangxi region has never publicized the existence of the corpse guard to the outside world, so you naturally won't know about it. ”

"The corpse guard is not a class of warriors to be precise, but a family, from ancient times to the present, the corpse guard family has been abiding by the traditions of their older generation, to be precise, the corpse chaser is also a branch of our corpse guard. ”

Ye Lei didn't expect that the corpse chaser still had such a history, but why did the old man in front of him tell himself about this kind of thing, he was not a corpse chaser, nor was he a person in the village.

"Village Chief, why are you telling me these things?" Ye Lei looked at the old man at this time and said, "I'm not from here, why did you choose to tell me these things as an outsider?"

"Young man, I don't think I'm done yet. The old man looked at Ye Lei, "If you want to know, I will tell you everything, so you don't have to ask more." ”

Hearing this, Ye Lei didn't ask too much, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, the more he knows about this place, the greater the chance of avenging Wu Feng.

"You have to know that in this life, the stronger the power, the more ambition may grow, I don't know when it began, some corpse guards actually began to covet this power, and the first generation of corpse chasers appeared. ”

However, the first generation of corpse chasers failed, although they were able to control these zombies, but they were just ordinary people, and when the strength of the zombies surpassed them, that is, when their lives came to an end. ”

Later, these corpse chasers began to study continuously, and in the face of the power at their fingertips, these people's desires also expanded, and eventually, they succeeded in controlling these zombies as warriors, and formed a powerful force at that time. ”

"Is this the prototype of the corpse chasers now?" Ye Lei mused, "Sometimes, power does make some people lose their nature, and these people can't resist the temptation to embark on this road of no return. ”

"You're right, it's all because of power!" the old man looked at Ye Lei, "But they miscalculated, they didn't expect that after they died, they would turn into zombies and become other people's weapons, but for those who are hungry for profit, even if this is the case, what can they do?"

"After a person dies, what is left is only a shell, and the soul is no longer the original self, and some people may abandon their soul because of this. Ye Lei sighed with emotion, and at the same time remembered the souls he had encountered in the Purgatory Senluo.

"Gradually, the corpse chasers are becoming more and more prosperous, while our corpse guards are declining from generation to generation. When he said this, the old man was even a little sad, "And those corpse chasers didn't want to admit that they used to be corpse guards, and began to kill all of us." ”

"Don't you want to admit your past? Chitu seemed to think of himself at this time, if it wasn't for Ye Lei's appearance, would he be like this.

"Alright, I'll start answering your questions now. The old man looked at Ye Lei and said, "I know that your name is not Tian Yu, and I don't have any interest in your real name, but you have the breath of our corpse guard, although I don't have any cultivation, but I can clearly feel that you are by no means an ordinary martial artist." ”

"I have the breath of a corpse guard on my body?" Ye Lei didn't expect that he would get such an answer, but it was the first time in his life that he had heard the word corpse guard, so how could he have the breath of a corpse guard?

"Our corpse guards will be passed down from generation to generation, and there can be no concealment between corpse guards, although you have become a warrior, it is impossible to become a corpse guard, but this does not affect your understanding of these things. ”

"Seniors, juniors still have something unclear. Ye Lei looked at the village chief at this time and said, "If I hadn't made a move just now, I don't know how you would have handled this matter?"

"Life and death depend on fate, even if you don't make a move, I can only accept my fate, once I die, there will be a new corpse to inherit my position in the future, I naturally don't worry about these things. ”

"Senior, I don't know who the next corpse guard will be?" Ye Lei looked at the old man at this time, "If that group of people slaughtered the whole village just now, what should these zombies do?"

"In the dark, everything is arranged, on these zombies, I have set a spell, once I die, these zombies will be automatically incinerated, these zombies will be left here sooner or later a scourge. ”

"Then why don't you destroy these zombies now?" Ye Lei looked at the old man, and the sentence just now was caught by Ye Lei a little flawed, "Isn't this a hundred?"

"That being said, that's my ancestors. Looking at the zombies in front of him, the old man's eyes revealed an indescribable emotion.

"But they're gone, aren't they?" Feng Wu said, "The dead are gone, why should they not be at peace after death, can they protect this village?"

"Ruolan is right, there was indeed a corpse chaser in the village back then, but now there is no more in the village, isn't it? Why do you still keep these zombies, do you still want your descendants to continue to be corpse chasers?"

At this time, Ye Lei thought of the proud look on the old man's face when he mentioned that his ancestor was once a corpse chaser, and in an instant, Ye Lei's vigilance increased.

"I don't have a chance, but my children and grandchildren still have a chance!" The old man's eyes widened at this time, as if he had been told by Ye Lei to his heart, "My descendants will definitely come out of an excellent corpse chaser, and when the time comes, he will take these zombies, as well as me, to regain the glory of the past." ”

"And that's what you're really for. Ye Lei looked at the old man at this time and said, "You don't want to tell me these things, your purpose is the three of us! According to your inheritance, the corpse guard will not be able to cultivate into a martial artist, but there are no high-level zombies among these zombies, so you have taken a fancy to the three of us." ”

"What you said is right, if you can refine the three of you warriors into zombies, the corpse chasers who control you will definitely be able to get the attention of the corpse chasers sect!" The old man's face was very hideous at this time, "At that time, our Tianhuai Village will be able to become that prosperous village again." ”

Ye Lei looked at the old man and sighed helplessly, when people are faced with the temptation of huge interests, this unknown power will always burst out, and greed is the real reason for the appearance of corpse chasers.

"Senior, I thought you were a breath of fresh air here, but I didn't expect that we were wrong about you. Ye Lei raised his hands at this time, and the Heavenly Sword also appeared.

"Here, I am the one who rules everything!" At this time, the old man uncovered the talisman paper on a zombie behind him, and the zombie actually moved.

"Tian Yu, you are worthy of me using this zombie, this zombie is my ancestor, the innate level zombie!" The old man's hand kept pinching the handprint, and the zombie also walked in the direction of Ye Lei.

"Aren't you a corpse guard, how can you still control this zombie's actions!" Ye Lei looked at the old man, and with a wave of the Heavenly Sword in his hand, a sword qi slashed directly towards the zombie.

"Yu!" At this time, the handprint in the old man's hand condensed, and the zombie instantly turned into a defensive posture, blocking Ye Lei's sword qi, but Ye Lei was already a beginner martial artist, and the damage caused by the sword qi still cut off the zombie's arm.

"It seems that I still underestimate you!" the old man looked at Ye Lei and said with a very strange expression, "However, you can defeat this zombie, can you resist this corpse poison?"

At this time, Ye Lei found that a stream of green gas floated out of the zombie's broken arm, and there was also a lot of green powder on the Wentian Sword.

"Be careful, this air is poisonous!" Ye Lei held his breath at this time, and used his innate strength to form a barrier around him, but Ye Lei still accidentally took a sip.

"Damn. Ye Lei hurriedly took out the pill he had refined before and took it, Feng Wu and Chitu were far away from him, plus Ye Lei had already given them the pill, so they were also very relieved.

"Haha, do you think that an ordinary detoxification pill can remove this corpse poison!" The old man looked at Ye Lei, and there was a sense of anger in his words, "Corpse poison is not so easy to remove. ”

"Oh, is it?" Ye Lei smiled at the corner of his mouth, and a flame instantly appeared on the Heavenly Sword, and the flames flew directly towards these zombies, these zombies were not martial artists in their previous lives, and Ye Lei was easy to deal with.

The fire was raging, and all the zombies gradually turned into ashes in this fire, and the old man didn't expect that Ye Lei was not an ordinary martial artist, and his ancestors turned into ashes like this.

"How can this be!" The old man was a little panicked at this time, Ye Lei's strength was completely beyond his expectations, but this was normal, during this time, the people who came to Tianhuai Village were generally acquired martial artists, and there were very few martial artists in the martial arts realm like Ye Lei.

"Heaven is evil, especially can survive, self-inflicted, not lived. Ye Lei looked at the old man in front of him, "You said that those corpse guards will go to the point of no return because of profits, but aren't you the same?"

Ye Lei's eyes were full of compassion, the old man in front of him was both hateful and pitiful, but the matter had come to this, Ye Lei didn't want to kill him, no matter what, this was also an ordinary old man.

"Old man, the corpse guard will be a great existence, but you have tarnished this dignity, you said that I have the breath of a corpse guard, I am afraid this is also what you said in order to gain my trust. ”

"After all the calculations, I didn't expect you to have such a high strength. The old man knelt on the ground at this time, "It's all my fault, so that the bones of the ancestors are gone." ”

"Maybe that's what they want. Chitu looked at the old man at this time and said, "After a person dies, his body will be used by future generations, which is contrary to heaven and humanity, and it should have stopped a long time ago." ”

"It's against the principles of heaven and humanity? What a joke, we are doing this against the principles of heaven, you warriors rely on your own strength to exploit us ordinary people, is this just going with the sky?" the old man said, "How can you warriors know the suffering of our people!"

"Of course I know!" Ye Lei looked at the old man, "Martial artists are not innate, no one can become a martial artist when they are born, if we don't work hard the day after tomorrow, we are all just ordinary people!"

"In order to pursue power, in order to obtain profits, you have sold your souls, and would rather harass your ancestors, can this kind of thing be allowed? You also said that if the corpse chasers are not strong enough, there is no way to control those powerful zombies, can it be said that the strength of those corpse chasers is innate!"

Ye Lei's words pierced the old man's heart deeply, and the knot in the old man's heart gradually untied under Ye Lei's words, and he only knew at this time that his attachment was so stupid.

"It's better not to have power than to use it. Feng Wu said, "This is also the reason why the Corpse Chasing Sect has been excluded for so many years. ”

"Am I wrong?" The old man looked at his hands at this time, as a corpse guard, he himself was not worried about being infected with corpse poison, at this time, the old man stood in place in a daze, the flames behind him gradually extinguished, and those zombies also turned into ashes, at this time only a little bit of fluttering fire was still flickering.

"Hahahaha!" At this time, the old man suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "I didn't expect that I had persisted for so many years, and it turned out to be wrong, Tian Yu, thank you, you guys leave first, along the way we came in, the third brick on the right hand side of each door is the mechanism, you can go out from there." ”

Ye Lei didn't say anything at this time, put away the Wentian Sword, and left this place directly with Feng Wu and Chitu, although he didn't find the corpse chaser, Ye Lei still learned a lot of knowledge.

"Plug this secret passage!" Ye Lei sighed at this time and said, "The old man will not come out, I think, he should have gone to see his ancestors at this time." ”

"How can this be?" Feng Wu looked at Ye Lei at this time, "Didn't he already want to open it?"

"Sometimes, blind attachment is not necessarily a bad thing. Ye Lei shook his head, "After all, the moment of soberness is very uncomfortable." ”

As Ye Lei said, the old man at this time set fire to the clothes on his body, and at this moment, the dark passage has been illuminated by flames, and the old man has also turned into ashes in this firelight.

"What are we going to do next?" Feng Wu looked at Ye Lei and asked, "Do you want to leave now?"

"Let's stay here a little longer. Ye Lei looked at the secret road, sighed and said, "Although this old man thinks of us differently, these villagers are innocent." ”

In the old man's room, Ye Lei also found some brief introductions to Xiangxi, but the most precious thing was the map that the old man gave Ye Lei.

In this way, Ye Lei and the three of them stayed in this village for another seven days, and only after ensuring that no one would harass this village did they leave here with confidence, and about the village chief, Ye Lei could only say that the old man's life was at the end of his life, and he died without a problem.

After Ye Lei and his party arranged the affairs here, they left Tianhuai Village, but this time here also gave him a preliminary understanding of Xiangxi.

"Feng Wu, what kind of exercises are you practicing now?" Ye Lei followed the marks on the map and walked towards the depths of Xiangxi, just as the group was resting, Ye Lei looked at Feng Wu and said.

"It's still the set of exercises that Master taught me, what's wrong?" Feng Wu looked at Ye Lei at this time, "Is there any problem?"

"No, it's just that I have a practice here, you can try to practice it. At this time, Ye Lei took out a notebook, and the handwriting on it was written by Ye Lei himself.

"What is this?" Feng Wu looked at Ye Lei at this time, "Brother Ye Lei, what kind of exercise is this?"

"This is the Holy Capital Heavenly Heart Formula. After Ye Lei said this, Feng Wu's whole person was stupid, as a true disciple of Elder Qiuye, she would not not know what this exercise meant.

"So you have already got ......" Feng Wu looked at Ye Lei in surprise, he didn't expect that Ye Lei had successfully obtained the treasure of the Shendu Heavenly Emperor, and also obtained the inheritance of the Shendu Heavenly Emperor.

Feng Wu and the others didn't know. After Ye Lei left the treasure of the Emperor of the Heavenly Capital, Ye Lei silently wrote the "Holy Capital Heavenly Heart Formula" on this notebook, but there were also some small twists and turns, the "Holy Capital Heavenly Heart Formula" itself has a strong power, and the average notebook was broken when it was written less than half of it, and this notebook was also deliberately exchanged for contribution points by Ye Lei.

"Emperor Shendu said that if you want me to pass on this exercise to her descendants, it does not restrict me from passing it on to others, and you are also a female martial artist, so it should be more suitable to practice this exercise. ”

Feng Wu didn't expect that Ye Lei would give herself such a precious gift, but she didn't know that when Ye Lei was doing this, it was also the result of a hot brain.

"Ye Lei, have you practiced this exercise?" Feng Wu looked at Ye Lei, "How could I ask that, this is what you got, you should have already cultivated." ”

"No, I didn't practice, this exercise is not for me. Ye Lei shook his head at this time, "Although it is said that this exercise is suitable for both men and women, but this requires me to abandon the other exercises I practice, which I can't do." ”

Although it is said that Ye Lei's "Silence Annihilation Xuangong" can accommodate the rest of the cultivation exercises, if the rest of the cultivation exercises cannot accommodate the "Silence Annihilation Xuangong", unilateral tolerance is useless.

"I see. Feng Wu hurriedly put away the notebook at this time, "By the way, I think Xian'er should also be able to cultivate, and when I return to Hengshan, I can let Xian'er also practice." ”

Feng Wu didn't rush to practice this exercise, but put it away first, and she glanced at the preliminary conditions for cultivating the "Holy Capital Heavenly Heart Technique", that is, she had to give up the exercises she had cultivated before.

"Ye Lei, since you have obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor of the Divine Capital, then you should have received a lot of benefits. Chitu looked at Ye Lei and said, "Is there any elixir spirit grass, give me a tooth sacrifice." ”

"Stinky donkey, you think this thing is a cabbage radish!" Zi Ye flew down from Ye Lei's body at this time, "Take the spirit pill and spirit grass to beat the tooth sacrifice, you are really not afraid of the wind and flashing your tongue." ”

"These two guys ......" Ye Lei looked at this Jiao Yima helplessly, and smiled helplessly.
