Chapter 194 Origin

Ten thousand dead people!

I heard this number, the first feeling is a bit exaggerated, 10,000 what is the concept, I really some imagination. But looking around at the ground full of densely packed human heads, I feel that there are indeed so many.

I believe that my current expression must be very ugly, a pair of his eyes looked straight at me, seems to be very satisfied with this effect created by himself, dealing with an impermanent, with 10,000 people's lives as the price, this kind of thing, is not too cruel some. And where to go to gather so many people together, and what method was used to kill them, I simply did not have this concept in my head. But now, this place was no longer a mere grave with more ghosts and monsters to me, but a mass grave that had been purposely constructed for the sake of one's own selfish desires.

The man paced back and forth over the corpses, his face full of that smug look that only said that any price was worth it in order to be able to control the Impermanent and keep him from being a hindrance to us. Every ritual requires a sacrifice, it's sort of a convention, I'm sure you can understand that.

I gazed at the heads at my feet, whose bones were blackened, and did not answer his words. I have seen very, very few events with similar rituals, and the one I remember the most is only the Yin Burial one, where the sacrifice, at that time, was Lin Tian, but my mom didn't need his life, but only his blood. But this time, when it was changed to the Uncanny, it truly needed the lives of these people as the price.

I froze for half a day before I opened my mouth and asked him, saying that the blood in that pool of blood was also part of the sacrifice?

He nodded and said, we hanged those people upside down and cut off their heads so that the blood could be gathered in one place, and put that person who would become an impermanent after death in the blood pool for seventy-seven and forty-nine days, and waited for the hostility in his body to be heavy enough to cover up the divinity of the impermanent itself, and only then did he bring him to the bottom of the one-wooden coffin, and drew out the soul to block it up and the corpse was burned and put in a tomb to suppress the ten thousand If you take away these ashes, then all these suppressed ghosts and monsters will escape from here. Other than that, do you think that in the town below the mountain, how many of the people who lived here during those times will still be alive?

When I heard his words, I suddenly felt a bit ridiculous, regardless of whether the ghosts in the cemetery will escape, but this person in front of me is also one of the culprits for today's situation. Now on the contrary, he persuaded me to come.

Although I am not used to his attitude, I have to say that the impact of this statement on me is very great. I can not help but think back to the first time to go to the Xie family shrine things, that the whole village people, the soul slowly walk out of the appearance, as if playing a movie from my eyes slowly through, that is still only by the impermanent invocation of the soul is only, the time of death should not have any too much pain, but the suppression of here, but tens of thousands of grievances of the soul of the soul, this to be put out, I really do not dare to think that what will happen.

I was silent for a long time, which slowly raised his head, staring at his face that seemed to be smiling, said What in the world are you, what exactly do you want to do!

From the conversation just now, I was also able to think of this person and Tan Xie two families do not have blood relations, he is like a supporting role in the story, the whole process involved, the role is very big and mysterious, but never become the protagonist as well.

He laughed softly, said, really say I have what purpose, may be in order to identify the year to do everything, can have become a reality of the day it. I to life and death things, are not important, care only about the end. But think about it, waiting for the arrival of that article has been how long, I now can not tell the difference.

Then he turned, suddenly said, I waste so long with you, say so many things, because I know I can't stop you, this cemetery ghosts and monsters although many, but no one can fight over the impermanent, even if it is just you, with some of the characteristics of the impermanent people can not. I originally wanted to do the same as back then, according to the law to trap you. I just didn't expect that you were carrying a bloodper, and now that the blood pool has dried up, I can't find 10,000 people to come out and bleed again as I did back then, so from the moment I threw you into the blood pool, I had already lost.

I have not interjected, but listen to this meaning, this person is a little want to pull our meaning, it seems that no matter whether it is a person or a ghost, will subconsciously make the most favorable choice for themselves, just I clearly understand that, no matter he told me more things, my heart is absolutely impossible to accept him, and even as long as there is a chance, I hope that I will be able to personally remove these people who make everything happen, even if he is a ghost.

But I didn't show this mind, because this person, may not be the barrier for us to leave this place, I don't know if the few people outside the stone door are okay, but those ghosts and monsters, seem to listen to this person's words, moreover, he is still attached to Ting Ting, even if we do something, we have to wait until after we safely leave this place.

I hesitated for a while, and then I remembered what I hadn't finished saying just now, and I had almost forgotten it when he interrupted me.

I said, I want to know the source of all this, you have to say it clearly, what you wish for, maybe I will still consider it. Also, those who followed me here, you'd better not hurt them.

He let out a laugh and said of course I'm clear on this, but I don't know where to start, so you might as well see for yourself.

His words fell, stepped on the heads and looked toward the side, I was busy to follow his footsteps, came to the end of this house, said I so many years, in this tomb idle nothing to do, will be the year the things that happened, all recorded one by one, although it is not comprehensive, can be the basic organization is still there.

He reached out and pointed toward the ground, I was busy to come closer, the heads on the ground have given way. Reveal a piece of open space, the ghost fire on his shoulder suddenly fell down, floating on the ground a foot place, the ground under the feet, illuminated clearly.

It was only then that I realized that the ground was actually filled with writing, spilling out an unknown number of words, and all of them were in the ancient style that had been written on the scroll earlier. I inevitably frowned, and just wanted to say that I couldn't recognize these fonts, but when my mind turned, I realized that I was able to understand the meaning of the words.

I was puzzled in my heart and wanted to say what was going on?

The man came over, smiled, and said, "You are now in the body of the Impermanent, even if you can't read the words, but you can understand the meaning, even if I speak to you with a different pronunciation of the words, but you can understand what I am talking about.

I thought about it before I realized, no wonder I felt that the way this man spoke suddenly changed, no longer the kind of words that were not written. It turned out that the way he spoke hadn't changed, but it was my own problem that I understood it in a different form straight away. This feeling is really weird to death, as if the eyes and ears of the impermanent also comes with a translation system, but I thought about it, this is also to make sense, otherwise the soul of the encounter with a foreigner, that language is not dealt with is really a problem.

I probably understand the reason for these things, they did not say anything more, continue to look at the ground to the article, which has a lot of content, but there is no some specific years and dynasties, just a certain year, a certain month, a certain dynasty, so instead of even the most important characters, did not mention the name, only said Tan Gong and Xie Gong, the whole of a narrative article.

According to the statement inside, the earliest thing, from the Xie family chiseled the mountain road, found the blood perch began.

At that time, the Xie family, but also the dynasty of what a big official, but because of a certain place perennial flooding, was appointed to the local governance, which is a benefit, that is, you can get a large amount of silver from it, but also may be because of the long term treatment of floods without success, and was blamed by the court. Time is long, Xie family people on the heart is also a little anxious, and later or under the people suggested, in the mountains to cut out a flood channel, so that the flood water has a flow outlet.

I don't know how big the difference between the terrain of their time and ours today, but Xie family was in a hurry to lose their heads, but also really rely on this law, sent people out to explore the terrain, selected the floodway, and finally recruited a lot of hard labor, of course, most of them are sent from all over the transfer of prisoners. Began to cut the mountain flood plan.

I think this kind of thing, under those conditions in the past, should be considered a very big project. I don't know how many people would die of exhaustion in the middle of the way, but one day, this project suddenly stopped, the Xie family was puzzled at first, and only later did they hear reports from their men that they had dug out a coffin inside a coffin in the mountainous terrain. This Xie Gong originally did not take this matter to heart, but later heard that the coffin fire less not rotten, knife and axe can not be cut. There was no lid and no bottom, but the center was empty, without a bit of sand and gravel.

Xie Gong this is puzzled, thinking could be dug into what treasure, immediately decided to personally go to check out some. To the mountain, only to find that is a one-wood coffin, is a very thick tree branches in the middle of the hollow style, surrounded by people have been surrounded, only because some bold people, ran to the coffin underneath to go, the results of a did not come back.

This Xie Gong began to dare not get too close, but accompanied by a help them look at the location of Feng Shui Mr. Hong Dao check once, suddenly and he said a few words of congratulations. Xie Gong raised his eyebrows, busy asking what the hell. This feng shui gentleman said, there are heavenly treasures underneath, ordinary people can't get, only like him this kind of official luck, the head of the purple star shine people have the chance to get.

This is a few words of nonsense, but was Xie Gong in mind, a few days are sleepless, thinking of the coffin's different, but also thinking of the inside only they can get the treasure. At that moment, it was anxious a lot of men and horses, leading their own team, decided to go down to the coffin to find out what was going on.

They went to a total of three days, there has been no sign of return, Xie Gong's subordinates anxious, want to find that fortune-teller asked the truth, only to find that the man felt his own nonsense intruded on the trouble, early to escape to go.

Just wait for everyone think Xie Gong can not come back, discussing how to get together with the dynasty, one night, Xie Gong suddenly climbed out of the coffin alone, accompanied by other people have disappeared. When others asked him questions, he did not answer them, and the whole person became very confused, and just did not want to mention what was under the coffin and what had happened.

The people around him only noticed that after he came back that day, he had one more thing on his body, which was almost inseparable from him, and that was the blood perch!

Chapter 195: Identity

So after a period of time, Xie Gong this person, as if obsessed with the same, every day closed the door, hiding in the room to study from the bottom of the coffin brought out the blood peroxide, the works because no one to supervise the sake of the gradual slack down, those prisoners and handymen are happy to be idle, no one did not ask a word more.

This is about a month time, suddenly one day, Xie Gong also do not know how, alone to the construction site, those handymen are startled, are worried about the crime of asking for punishment, who knows that Xie Gong suddenly ordered, let a person will be flood relief project stop, in the digging to the location of the coffin, to rebuild an ancient building out. So people are puzzled, but the order from the top, no one dares to ask a question.

I see here, the heart more or less some surprise and puzzled, surprised is, the process of the discovery of the coffin, sort of coincidence, but this change in the order to build the ancient building, should also be we later saw the Xie family shrine, I just did not think that the age of this ancient building can be so far away, and I have always thought that this is the descendants to build up to bury the secret with.

And what I don't understand is that, according to the weekdays, raw people casually touch the bloodper, often will incur an unmanageable disaster. If you hold it for a long time, it's not impossible that all the blood in your body will be sucked dry. But this Xie Gong's body is fine, but his brain seems to be out of order, his words and behavior are all extraordinarily bizarre. At that time, this could be considered a head-killing offense.

Therefore, I glanced toward the side of this person, more or less feel that he has some fictional components in it, who knows that he seems to be able to guess what I am thinking about something, only said, at that time to the coffin down to the people, almost all have died, but only Xie's family this ancestor is a bit of luck, although the following resentment of the souls of the spirit of a lot of people, but he inadvertently looked for the blood of this thing, would have lived a short time, but coincidentally coincidentally, he was then possessed by a body, but the blood of the blood of this thing, but the blood of this thing, he was not a good thing, he was not a good thing, but he was not a good thing. He was possessed at that time.

When I heard this, I couldn't help but give him a blank look, he was indifferent, and continued, that ghost is a powerful character, wandering under the dowel coffin for many years, and has quite a lot of knowledge about the blood perforation, and seeing that there is a living person down here, and a dignitary, he moved to possess, and it is because of this that the Xie family's ancestor did something extraordinarily puzzling.

But this kind of thing, outsiders look strange, their own families feel even more bizarre. They are worried every day, afraid of the court suddenly down on the crime, occasionally someone to persuade two sentences, but also be Xie Gong scolded back, said more, those people were almost Xie Gong ordered to death.

Family members know that sooner or later this is going to be a big trouble, and look at Xie Gong's appearance, understand that he had been under the evil coffin, can not help but guess that he hit the evil not, so look at the city posted a notice, only false that Xie Gong is sick, and privately looking for some doctors and Taoist priests and so on to cure the disease and drive away the evil spirits.

But came a few, have not seen any improvement, and even a claim that the mansion is not clean, to open the practice of the Taoist priest, only burned the yellow talisman, ghosts did not drive into, their own mouth spitting blood, almost dead. After he fled, he didn't even dare to walk in the neighborhood.

It was at that time that the ancestor of the Tan family, the man called Duke Tan in the text, happened to pass by this place.

He was originally a military general in the imperial court, because there were often some barbarians in the country to provoke war, so he was appointed to quell the rebellion, this time it happened to be a great victory, and on the way back to the imperial court, he heard about the matter of Duke Xie.

Although there is a difference between civil and military, but usually meet, are still a few points of affinity. Coincidentally, the Xie family heard that he came, each one rejoiced, usually only hear people say, this battlefield dancing sword, killing blood warriors, each one of the body's aura are heavy, even the ghosts and monsters do not dare to come close to, this Tan Gong long war battlefield, killed countless people, he is coming, may be able to the mansion's dirty things to be scared away may not be certain.

Therefore, when Mr. Tan came to the house, although this family knew that it was not good to spread the word about the strange power of the gods and whatnot, but there was nothing they could do about it, but they still swallowed their words and told the whole story. They had already prepared to be made fun of by the general, the big deal is to beg him more, let him stay in the house for a while, it's just a matter of time.

But how to know, Tan Gong heard their words, indeed laughed, but laughing is not their mouth of ghosts and gods, but he was on the battlefield, just happened to meet a proficient in the art of ghosts and gods of the gentleman.

Tan Gong was originally practicing martial arts, always do not believe in these things, but this time the war, how to know on the other side of a secret loss, got some small ghosts day and night harassment of the military camp, looking at the momentum bit by bit dwindle down, the war is about to be defeated. But it is the sudden appearance of this gentleman, capture the ghosts and destroy God, which gave them a chance to turn defeat into victory.

I saw here in a trance thought I was reading the list of the gods, these contents of the real more and more mysterious. But the man laughed, said this is what is rare, history in the war with the ghosts and gods with the legend of countless, such as the knot grass in return for the sentence, said that is the generals killed, suddenly a ghost knot grass woven into a rope tripped down the enemy generals to repay the favor of the thing, these were not rare, rare is that some people have not seen it, it is as a rare thing to spread.

I didn't have the heart to argue with him about this, and planned to keep reading.

After Duke Tan finished talking about the battlefield, he added that that gentleman had already been invited to his door. It is within his ranks at the moment. The Xie family was thrilled to hear this and hurriedly found someone to bring that gentleman here. After a short while, that gentleman arrived in the middle of the Xie residence.

I looked toward the following and saw that none of the articles contained sentences describing the name and appearance of this gentleman. But I think this is an important person, otherwise according to the situation of Tan Xie and Xie's family at that time, there is no one in the family who can communicate with ghosts and exorcise gods. Maybe this person is the source of these things.

I glanced at Ding Ding beside me from the corner of my eye, and he still had a smirking expression on his face. It was obvious that he wanted to record these things, and in addition to knowing all the ins and outs of the situation, the most important point was that this person was also at the scene at that time, and by listening to his earlier sentences against the impermanent, when this person was alive, he must also be a person of great means. If nothing else, the gentleman that Mr. Tan had met who was proficient in the art of ghosts and gods should undoubtedly be this man.

Therefore, after considering it for a while, I couldn't help but look up and ask him, saying that when you helped Lord Xie exorcise the ghosts, you didn't get hurt like other Taoist priests?

He turned his head and looked at me with Ding Ding s bright eyes for a while, as if he was trying to figure out my mind, and then he suddenly laughed again, not only did he not deny it, but even said directly that I broke an arm.

I do not know whether I should laugh or what, but this identity is considered to be determined. I just pretended to be serious and asked him, saying Is this ghost more difficult to deal with than the changeless?

He shook his head and said it's like what I just said, really the Yin God Uncanny, I can't do anything against him, otherwise I don't need to talk nonsense with you here, and to deal with them is also before he's dead, when he's alive. But there really are those kind of fierce enough spirits in this world that aren't afraid of almost anything, and I was careless for a moment, and I ended up losing out.

I said, like Painted Skin?

He nodded and said that painted skins are kind of like that, but the ones I met were sprites. It's also the same vicious ghosts and monsters, that day when I exorcised the ghosts, Xie's family had a total of twelve deaths, compared to them, I only lost a hand, so I'm considered lucky.

I squinted at his two hands, now to find nothing unusual, I said, so you like to attach to other people's bodies, so that even if your soul is crippled, but at least other people's bodies are intact, right?

He exhaled softly between his nostrils, did not deny, I can still see his eyes vaguely some loss.

As if changing the topic, I was busy laughing and said I was just curious, if the last graveyard of Tan Xie's two families is to come back to life again, you, as an intermediary, why don't you join them and stay in this place.

He did not immediately answer me, but slowly crouched down, take a cleaner head, as a cushion sat up, which looked at me and laughed, said, that kind of living, but just a kind of elephant, you have seen the person who escaped from the coffin, although he has flesh and blood, and the living people have no difference. But he can still be reborn after dying once, the real living, is to wait for you to have no breath and then into the ground. A limited lifetime, you will feel valuable. If it were you, dead and born again and again seem, and finally do not feel that people do ghosts, have become a numb thing?

His meaning I can probably understand, people are such an animal, limited will want to cherish. When you see so much of a thing that you don't even feel anything, you gradually don't care about it anymore. That kind of living, might as well die to the pleasure of it.

I think of Xie Chengfeng, I don't know how many times he has died and lived, but every time, it seems to have no good ending.

I sighed slightly, glanced at this sitting on the head of the Ding Ding, I did not expect this person for the idea of life and death and so on, and I'm still quite close, if he did not die, he is the people of this era, perhaps we will have other common hobbies, when the friend is not impossible. It's a pity that I can only think about these things.

I turned my head and took a step back, trying to see what was left on the ground. The heads around me scattered again with a clatter, but I just lowered my head, and suddenly froze, my brain seemed to have just turned a corner, and I was busy looking towards the man, and asked him in a cold voice, saying how did you know that I had seen the person who ran out from under the dowel coffin?

Since he stayed here and met with me for the first time, he shouldn't know that I had seen Xie Chengfeng. But when he heard my question, he frowned slightly, as if he felt that my question was a bit strange.

He slowly raised his hand and pointed to the closed stone door, and suddenly said, outside the door with you, that old man with disheveled hair and a full beard, isn't that the living dead man who escaped from under the one-wood coffin?
