Chapter 111: No Wine, No Okami
It has been two days since the group of Jin Buchou was separated, Yu Qingwu and other five people are still walking along the official road, it is late autumn, the sky is slightly cold, and many pedestrians on the road have put on winter clothes.
Yu Qingwu didn't like to say it, he was carrying a peerless killing sword weighing 3,900 catties, and he fell to the ground step by step, and every step was amazingly consistent. To outsiders, he was just in a hurry, but in fact he was enlightened.
His heart dances with the wind in the autumn wind, and the earth stretches, and his body is connected to the earth...... All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and all things in heaven and earth reveal Taoist rhymes, what he has to do is to familiarize himself with and deduce these Taoist rhymes, and then confirm them with his own body.
Behind him, Zi Shoes, Tian Mingzi, Yan Mingzi, and Zhen Zhen were talking and laughing, but most of the time it was Zi Shoes who were talking, both astronomy and geography, which made the other three admire his profound knowledge.
"Senior Brother Xuanmingzi, how many miles are there to Taicheng?" asked the only female in the team, Yongzhen, who had been on the road for five days in a row, even if she was not physically tired, she was a little tired, and she was getting closer and closer to her destination, so her mood inevitably seemed a little impetuous.
Zilu glanced at the slightly gloomy surprise around him, identified the direction, and then said: "This should be the boundary of Longmengang, if you calculate it like this, it is less than a hundred miles away from Taicheng. ”
"There are still a hundred miles!" Hearing that there was still a hundred miles away from Taicheng, Yongzhen immediately pulled her face. At this rate, it will take a day to get to Taicheng.
"There's a wine shed in front!"
At this time, Yan Mingzi pointed to the front and said loudly, everyone looked over, only to see a wine shed more than 30 zhang away, and there was a flag standing next to the shed, and the flag was written with five characters - no wine but Gang.
As soon as she saw that there was a wine shed to rest, Yongzhen immediately trotted to Yu Qingwu's side, and said to Yu Qingwu, who had no foreign objects: "Senior Brother Fuyao, let's go to the wine shed in front to rest for a while, right?"
Yu Qingwu, who was distracted and enlightened, was interrupted by Zhenzhen's words, he was not annoyed, and smiled: "Okay!"
Receiving Yu Qingwu's consent, Zhenzhen immediately rejoiced, jumped forward and ran forward, and then sat down at the table.
"Little girl, do you want wine or water?"
The old man who set up the stall was cleaning up the dishes on the table next to him, and smiled honestly at Zhen Zhen.
At this time, Yu Qingwu and others also came over, and Tianmingzi pointed to the eye-catching flagpole and asked: "Uncle, why do you write 'no wine but no gang' on this flag, but what is the saying?"
Five people came in a row, and all of them were handsome and beautiful, and they all had extraordinary temperaments, how could the old man who was over half a hundred years old not know that these young people had extraordinary backgrounds? He glanced at the flags he had made with his own hands, and while motioning for a few people to sit down, he smiled honestly and said: "Looking at the appearance of several of you who are dusty and dusty, you must have come from other places, and you don't know anything about our Longmengang. ”
After a pause, he poured a glass of blue-yellow turbid liquid for each of the five people, and in an instant, a smell of wine penetrated the mouths and noses of the five people. He pointed to the road in front of the wine shed and asked, "How many of you are going to Taicheng?"
Seeing that the old man did not answer the questions of himself and the others, but asked about himself and the others, Yan Mingzi immediately showed displeasure on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, you haven't answered our question yet!"
"Young people, don't worry. ”
The smile on the old man's dark face remained unchanged, and he was not dissatisfied with Yan Mingzi's words. He sat down and drank saliva to moisten his throat before he said, "Although this place is called Longmengang, people are more willing to call it Demon Star Gang!"
"Demon Star Gang?" Zi Lu was full of surprise, he saw in the floating disc that this place belonged to the Longmengang realm, but he didn't know that Longmengang also had a strange name called Demon Xinggang.
The old man finally put away the honest smile on his face, a trace of remembrance flowed in his eyes, and said: "A long, long time ago, there was a battle between gods and demons here, and the most powerful god sealed the demon in this Longmen Gang, so from that time on, this place was also called Demon Star Gang. ”
"Demon Star ......"
Yu Qingwu muttered, then looked at the old man and said, "Uncle, the demon star you are talking about is a zombie?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" the old man looked at Yu Qingwu with a little surprise, and said: "It is difficult for people and animals to live within a mile of the sealed place of the Demon Star, and there is a terrifying miasma there because of it, which can invisibly kill people's lives, and ordinary people will die there, and over time, it will become a mass grave, and the dead will be scattered!"
Hearing the old man's words, everyone only felt that a cool breeze hit their hearts, and Tianmingzi involuntarily leaned towards Yan Mingzi beside him and said, "That's ...... Isn't that unpassable?"
The old man shook his head, a smile appeared on his face again, and said: "In the past, if you want to go to Taicheng, you can only go north and bypass thousands of miles, but more than 20 years ago, a divine doctor came here, that is, the divine doctor taught us to use realgar with wine, and after ordinary people drink it, they can resist the miasma that destroys people's anger in the mass grave." After a pause, he pointed to the flag fluttering in the wind and said, "That's why the old man will erect a flag here to remind passers-by." ”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, no wonder the old man poured himself a glass of wine with the smell of realgar for himself and others. It is estimated that even if the guests only needed water in the past, he would persuade those people to bring realgar wine.
At this time, everyone found that Yu Qingwu had been frowning, and it was difficult to hide the surprise in his eyes. Zhenzhen pushed Yu Qingwu who was in a trance, and said, "Senior Brother Fuyao, you have nothing to do, right?"
Yu Qingwu shook his head and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect the sealing place of the Demon Star Empress Qing to be here!"
Everyone was confused, and even Zixu, who had always known a lot about ancient history, couldn't help asking, "What Demon Star Queen?"
"Demon Star Houqing, is one of the ten ancient demon gods!" Yu Qingwu turned his head to look at the road that seemed a little hazy not far away, and said: "The top ten demon gods of the ancients, among them are human beings, and there are also natural demons, such as Chi You, he is the body of human demons, and the water god Gonggong was originally a human body, but later chose to become a demon, so he was also listed as one of the top ten demon gods." They have a great background, but compared to the Demon Star Houqing, they are not worth mentioning at all!"
Speaking of this, Yu Qingwu's face was full of solemnity. He took a deep breath and said, "You may not have heard of the name of Houqing, but his sister Houtu must have heard of it." ”
"Hou Tu Niang?"
Everyone exclaimed, Hou Tu Niang's full name is Chengtian to imitate Hou Tu Huang Di, the Jade Emperor is in charge of the sky, and she is in charge of the earth, so she is also called the Earth Mother. He is one of the few gods in the heavenly realm who has survived since the beginning of the world!
Yu Qingwu nodded and said: "Hou Qing is the younger brother of Hou Tu Niangniang, in the period of the Yellow Emperor, Hou Tu Niang Niang ordered him to help the Yellow Emperor crusade against the Jiuli tribe to determine the emperor of the world, but after Hou Qing went down to earth, he was influenced by Chi You and others, not only did not help the Yellow Emperor, but joined Jiuli and became a general in Jiuli, and even later he abandoned the gods and became a zombie ancestor who fed on human blood. ”
"Zombie Ancestor......" everyone murmured, zombies are the ones who know the Dao, that is an alien that feeds on human blood, not in the Three Realms, immortal and immortal, and is abandoned by all beings outside the Six Realms. If they do not drink blood for a long time, their bodies will stiffen, and they will eventually become the living dead.
Everyone didn't expect that the younger brother of the mother of the earth, Tu Niangniang, actually became the ancestor of zombies!
"After the battle of Zhuolu, the mother and daughter Wa Niangniang united with Hou Tu Niangniang, Ziwei Emperor, Gou Chen Emperor, and Dizang Bodhisattva, combined the strength of five people, and sealed it with the Five Elements Formation, so that the heaven and earth were saved from disaster. Yu Qingwu's eyes were deep, and he looked at the hazy front, as if he had seen the sealed place through a few miles of land.
"In the past, I only knew the legend of the Dao, but I didn't know where the specific sealing place of the Dao was, but today when I heard the old man say, I realized that this Longmengang was the place where the Demon Star Houqing was sealed. ”
Listening to Yu Qingwu's explanation, everyone's faces were already full of surprise, one was that the brother of Houtu turned out to be a demon, and the other was that this place was actually the place where it was sealed.
"That'...... That's not enough?" said Tianmingzi, who was strong and timid, with a bitter face. Zombies have always been a legend, and they're often synonymous with evil, scary, or the like, let alone the first zombie ancestors. He really wouldn't want to come from here if he could.
"Don't be nervous, young people!"
The old man smiled slightly, listening to Yu Qingwu's explanation just now, he was even more determined in his heart to have the idea that these young people had extraordinary backgrounds. He pointed to the realgar wine in front of several people and said: "A few of them should be people in the immortal path, we mortals are not in danger of life after drinking realgar wine, not to mention people like you who have immortal laws!"
In the past years, all living creatures passing through that mass grave would never return, but since the divine doctor taught a method decades ago, there has never been a similar situation, so this old man dared to set up a stall outside the mass grave alone to sell water and wine.
Everyone didn't speak, they all looked at Yu Qingwu, as long as Yu Qingwu chose to cross the Gang, they would follow even if they didn't want to. After all, they have come all the way, and they have been able to survive until now completely because of Yu Qingwu, otherwise they would have died a long time ago!
Yu Qingwu glanced at the four of them, and then silently drank the realgar wine in the bowl. Seeing this, the four of them smiled bitterly when they met, and also drank realgar wine.
Syllable!
The most timid Tianmingzi threw a jade shell on the table, his face was a little flushed, and he said loudly: "If you cross the Gang, you will cross the Gang, I'm afraid of a ghost!" For him, the role of realgar wine is not to prevent miasma, but to strengthen courage. He was still submissive just now, but after drinking the wine, he immediately screamed.
After Yu Qingwu nodded and thanked the old man who sold wine, he didn't look at the other four people, and went straight to the unknown place. Mass grave ...... He'd like to see what kind of mass burial method it is!
"Senior Brother Fuyao is waiting for us!"
As soon as he saw Yu Qingwu go first, Tianmingzi, who was full of pride just now, suddenly withered, and hurriedly chased after him after shouting. Seeing this, the remaining three shook their heads and smiled, thanked the old wine seller, and followed.
