Chapter 173 The Demonic Drink in the Long Live View
White clouds are flying high in the sky, and the sky is bright, illuminating the green mountains below and the sea of green leaves.
Songshan Mountains, one of the Five Mountains, has been famous for a long time. Its majestic mountains and abundant water have attracted many capable people from all dynasties to live here. They were also rewarded by the court, built palaces and other scenic spots.
The people in the villages and towns in the mountains have also benefited from this, and their lives are safer than in other places with dense mountains and rugged roads.
Unfortunately, there was a corpse transformation fifty years ago. Most of these small towns and villages in the mountains have been abandoned and deserted. There are only dormant living corpses, waiting for living people to pass by and hunt for blood.
In the river outside the village, waves suddenly rolled, and a huge white python as thick as a bucket was seen, more than ten feet long, meandering in the river, making a sound similar to the roar of a cow.
Snake scales are originally delicate, but the scales of this giant python are as big as a sea bowl. When swimming in the water, you can faintly see the stretches and undulations between the scales, revealing a kind of copper ribs and iron bones. The momentum of great strength.
The snake's tail is wrapped with iron chains, pulling a raft about two feet long and one foot wide.
Seven people were sitting on the raft, including men and women. Their skin color was blue and black, and their eyes were blood red. They were looking towards the river banks on both sides.
“The land of Kyushu is really vast, but it’s a pity that it’s so big that it’s so hard to find something to eat. I’m still happy when I’m on the island. Every time I leave the cave, within twenty miles, I can always bump into something alive. People.”
A young man in a soap-colored robe complained, "Look at this desolate place. Even many of the living corpses are over-starved and really starved to death."
Someone else A woman carrying an iron sword said: "Although I am a little hungry, I am still hungry." Following the revelation in the dream, I came across the sea from the island, and the time I spent awake became longer and longer.”
“The ceremony I received in the dream was incomplete, but after it was held, I avoided direct contact. Turn into those stupid zombies, but most of the time I am still confused and can only wake up two or three days before and after the full moon.”
“Every time I wake up, I don’t know why I have moved to another place and why I have so many wounds on my body. It’s really disturbing. People are so angry! We can only take advantage of the full moon and hurry up. I feel better if I eat a few people.”
“Now that we are getting closer to our destination, I can wake up for more than three or four hours every day. I am afraid that I can hope to regain my energy completely after the things are done. .”
When they started talking about it, there was a lot of discussion among them.
“However, we were clearly directed to go west to Chang’an. If we capture Chang’an, we can achieve our wish and transform into a complete zombie demon clan. However, a few days ago, the target was changed to a certain one. People, we have to take a detour to the north. Who knows if it will change again after a while?"
The most calm one among the seven is the only one who wears a scarf and a He is a tall, thin old man in a Taoist robe, who looks like Confucianism and Taoism.
The common name of this person has been forgotten. Back then, he claimed to be the God of Water on Tuen Mun Mountain in Kowloon Peninsula. He raised many strange pythons under his hands. He forced several towns under the mountain to pay tribute to him, including virgin beauties, handsome boys, silk tea leaves, etc. , demanding without restraint.
Fifty years ago, the towns on the island couldn't bear it anymore and secretly planned to invite experts from the merchant ships from Zhongyuan, Silla, and Fuso to the island for transit, and made a heavy promise to them to surround them. Kill this old water god monster.
While the two sides were fighting, the corpse transformation came. Many masters should not have turned into living corpses so easily, but because they were injured, they were attacked on the spot.
The old monster of the water god was also infected with the disease of corpse transformation. After escaping from the dead, he saw living corpses everywhere in the field. The symptoms of corpse transformation in his body were getting worse again. He was anxious and angry, getting worse and worse, seeing corpses. He killed everyone he saw. Unintentionally, because of the heavy blood on his body, he was guided by dreams and built a tower and stage, and held a reincarnation ceremony.
But that reincarnation was incomplete, so that he could only regain consciousness for a short period of time every month during the full moon night, so he had to find a remote cave to live in to prevent him from being surrounded and killed when he was unconscious.
The six people around him were able to reincarnate as zombie demons. In fact, they were more or less influenced by him. Some got his guidance directly, and some borrowed the towers he built to control the people. Can be considered his disciple.
This time the seven people received the same guidance. When they left the island, they naturally gathered together.
"Who?!"
The old monster of the Water God, who closed his eyes and was concentrating, suddenly shouted low, slapped the raft with his palm, and with a sway, he crossed half of the river and reached the shore.
The six people who were discussing were alert at the same time and stood up to look towards the shore.
I saw the water god old monster raised his hand, and there seemed to be a huge colorless wave in the air, which was suddenly photographed.
A dilapidated house in front was torn apart, collapsed and fell to the ground, and the smoke and dust didn't even have time to stir up.
A figure hidden behind the broken house did not escape. He knelt down, raised his hands in the air, and shouted: "Senior, wait a minute!"
The old water god's eyes flashed with blood, and his palms stopped.
The man kneeling on the ground was a man wearing a blue scarf, he was clearly a living person.
Of course, the old water god couldn't stop because of the other party's plea for mercy. What really made him show mercy was the bird-shaped jade pendant held up by the man.
The mutton-fat white jade is flawless except for a little blood stain on the bird's back. It is green and black with a hint of dark red, revealing a subtle but extremely pure aura of the corpse demon.
For the old monster of the Water God, that aura was really eye-catching: "When you see me in this state, you dare to call me senior, hehe, where did this jade pendant come from?"
The man was kneeling. He stood up and said respectfully: "My surname is Gu, and the jade pendant was given by my ancestor. Many of the children in the clan also followed the order of their ancestors to search around to see if there are any strangers like our seniors. Invite Come and be a guest at my ancestor’s Long Live Temple!”
“The ancestor also said that the guidance in the dream is only for one person. This person must be of great importance. If we meet him in two or three, there is no guarantee that he will not be killed. , it’s better to gather together and work together, then we can be sure of catching him!”
The six people on the raft have also come ashore, and after hearing this, they all looked strange.
Why couldn't they hear that the ancestor of the Gu family was clearly a zombie demon, but how could he have living descendants? It sounded like a big family, so loyal to him.
The old monster of the Water God muttered: "Okay, then you lead the way, and we will go and meet your ancestors for a while."
While speaking, the old monster stretched out his hand and moved back, and the white giant python in the water rolled up. In the meantime, he had broken the chain on his tail and swam up to the shore.
The old water god sat cross-legged on the snake's head, and the giant python raised its head three or four feet above the ground.
The long snake tail swings left and right on the ground, but its head does not shake and moves forward steadily.
The man surnamed Gu smiled at the six disciples of the water god, and then trotted ahead to lead the way.
Less than half an hour later, everyone came to the foot of a mountain and saw long stone steps leading to the top of the mountain. The mountainside was shrouded in clouds and mist, making it look like a fairyland.
This Long Live Temple was built under the orders of Emperor Wu during the Xiaohan Dynasty. Later, it was repaired and expanded many times. The palace, tall buildings, squares and courtyards are huge in scale, covering from the top of the mountain to halfway up the mountains on both sides.
The giant white python climbed up the stone steps, walking on flat ground without any difficulty.
When the water god old monster reached the mountainside, he noticed that there were more living people here. He even looked into the distance and saw that there seemed to be a small town with a large population at the foot of the mountain.
However, when the living people who were sweeping the palaces saw the old water god monsters with their blood-red eyes and green faces and fangs, they were not afraid at all. Instead, they showed reverence on their faces, knelt down, and raised their hands Lift them high and kowtow to them.
The six disciples of the old water god were already fidgeting when they saw so many living people. Seeing such a scene, they were a little at a loss.
"Here, what's going on?"
The man surnamed Gu smiled and said: "They are visiting the immortal family. Think about all the seniors, who have not eaten or drank for several years. His ability to remain strong and strong, his appearance not aging for decades, his skin stronger than fine iron, and his long lifespan are extraordinary. What can the common people compare it to, if it’s not an immortal family?”
The old monster of the water god suddenly smiled: “So your ancestor is also a fellow traveler.” , he was used to doing it fifty years ago, and he became famous and made a career.
It's just that maritime trade was frequent in those days, and despite the wars in Kyushu in the Central Plains, the armed forces were still strong. The people on the island couldn't bear it anymore, so they invited outsiders to destroy him, the water god.
Nowadays, the world has undergone tremendous changes, and traffic has been cut off all over the world. In the deep mountains and old forests, the ancestor of the Gu family is much safer in his methods than he was back then.
"To be honest with you, my family has strict laws. If I go down the mountain to eat people, I will only eat people who are thirty years old and above on weekdays. I am compassionate and will not eat them in front of their family members in the busy city. The people nearby are grateful for my family's kindness and often come to the mountain to offer incense." The man surnamed Gu said with a smile, "And my ancestors have already planned to build eight towers and one reincarnation ceremony here. In the deep mountains, every time they are reincarnated, not many people will turn into living corpses that are inedible and do not know how to work."
"Now. In my family, apart from my ancestor, there are already ten clan elders and eight clan brothers and sisters who have all turned into alien bodies. The people around me are still living and working in peace and contentment, which shows that my ancestor is wise.”
The water god old monster put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "It's really a good trick, it's really worth seeing."
They reached the top of the mountain, and before they saw the ancestor of the Gu family, they found a group of corpses on another mountain road. The devil was led to the top of the mountain.
During the Taketoku Dynasty, there were fixed routes in the East China Sea and the South China Sea. The oceans were thousands of miles away, and trade with hundreds of countries was prosperous.
On the South China Sea route, there are the Ring Kingdom, the Mendu Kingdom, the Buddha's Death Kingdom, the Heling Kingdom, etc.
On the East China Sea route, there are countries such as Silla, Baekje, Ryukyu, and Fuso.
These countries have been influenced by the culture of Kyushu in the Central Plains for generations. However, when it comes to local areas, they have been integrated with local customs and have their own deviations. Therefore, the differences can be seen from the clothing and accessories.
The old water god was also a well-informed person back then. Although he had been confused most of the time in the past fifty years, his mind has become clearer recently. He recognized the origins of those people on the spot, and they were basically all countries on the South China Sea route. person.
Among the twenty-odd corpse demons, there are three whose auras most arouse the old water god's vigilance. It must be that when they were still human beings, they had already entered the realm of souls entering the body. After reincarnating into the corpse demons, It’s also very beneficial.
The two Gu family members made introductions to both parties.
The water god old monster learned that the three people were General Jinzhou Longya from the Kingdom of Buddha, and Granny Shenpan and Mrs. Miaoxiang from the Kingdom of Heling.
"I didn't expect that so many comrades could be gathered today. It's really a gathering of heroes, all in one place."
In the main hall of Long Live View, the person enshrined was Emperor Zhongyue. At this moment, hearty laughter came from it, and then a man walked out An old man in purple robe with black hair and gold hairpin, handsome eyebrows and bright eyes, long beard and floating chest.
Although he also has bloody eyes and blue skin, his fangs are not exposed, his face is majestic, his skin is green, light and pure, which is very different from the terrifying posture of others who look green and have fangs. .
"I am Gu Xilou. As the master of this place, I have never gone out to greet you. I am rude this time."
Gu Xilou clasped his hands and saluted the surrounding people.
Among the many zombie demons, some responded with their own courtesy, but most of them looked indifferent.
These corpse demons may not have known etiquette when they were still humans. After being corpse demons for so many years, they have become even more animalistic in their bones.
If they hadn't taken care of the leading strongmen such as the Water God Old Monster and General Longya, they would have gone directly to the town for a big meal on their way up the mountain. How could they have the patience to play with Gu Xilou and play some false etiquette? .
Gu Xilou was not displeased because of their disrespect. He turned around and invited everyone into the side hall.
In the side hall, there are already many attendants waiting, and tables have been set up. There are only a few more. After everyone takes their seats, there are still many empty seats.
The giant python of the water god also came in, coiled behind him, with its head raised high, spitting out snake letters, and staring at the wine jar on the main seat.
"Huh?"
The old water god noticed something and looked at the wine jar, thoughtfully.
This giant snake was the only one among the strange pythons he raised that survived fifty years later. It also accompanied him through the reincarnation ceremony. Although it never turned into a corpse snake, it became addicted to it. The person who eats human blood is sometimes even more keen than the water god himself.
"The purpose of inviting all of you comrades to come to the gathering today must have been heard when you met the children of my Gu family."
Gu Xilou said straight to the point, "The person who was foreshadowed in our dream originally seemed to be far away on the coast of the Bohai Sea. In the past two days, he has been heading west at a high speed, not far from Songshan Mountain."
"The original dream guided me. When we went to Chang'an, we only had a clear sense of direction in our sleep, but for this People, even when we are awake, can detect the approximate location of this person."
"It can be seen that the source of the corpse transformation, how much our dream god attaches great importance to him..."
"Gu family brother!"
General Long Ya suddenly spoke, interrupting him.
This man is called a general, but he only wears a wide maroon robe, with a bulging waist, and no armor, making him look quite fat.
"You want to discuss with us how to deal with that target together. You and I, the general, can be said to have the same views as heroes, but we can sense him, who knows if he can sense us?"
"If that's the case, even if we discuss planning some ambush and raid , I'm afraid it's of no use, we still have to chase and intercept him and fight head-on."
"If Brother Gu is really sincere, instead of wasting words, it would be better for us to have a full meal."
As soon as he said these words, the zombie demons immediately responded.
Even a disciple of the old monster Water God shouted: "At worst, we won't attack your Gu family and let us go down the mountain. You can point out which ones are not direct descendants of your family and we will eat them again."
The god opposite Granny Pan glanced here after hearing this, covered her lips and smiled softly.
Although she calls herself mother-in-law and has white hair, she looks like she is only in her thirties. She has a plump body and a graceful figure. She is wrapped in black sand and wears a silver bell. With a smile, she attracts the attention of the old water god. The disciples were shaken.
When these corpse demons were humans, very few of them were willing to eat humans. After their reincarnation, their temperaments have changed from the deepest level, and their love and thirst for living flesh and blood are no different from living corpses. .
But compared to ordinary living corpses, they have retained their mental memories and have more desires, and lust is one of them.
The disciple of the old water god couldn't help but lower his voice and asked: "What are you laughing at, girl?" People."
Grandma Shenpan said, "The bird-shaped jade pendant that Brother Gu asked the tribe to bring contains not only a drop of your own corpse demon's blood, but also a strange drink mixed with it. Well, a few of us can distinguish the taste of spices."
"If what I expected is true, just one glass of this wine will make you more satiated than drinking dozens of people dry. "
Gu Xilou stroked his beard and said: "Eating people is monotonous after all. After all these years, I also want to change my taste. Because I was addicted to alcohol back then, I wanted to brew blood wine. "
"But when we eat people, we suck not only human blood, but also souls. Ordinary human blood naturally cannot make good wine. After many years of hard thinking, I came up with a wonderful method."
"Use Many medicinal materials are used to train disciples, and this set of self-created techniques is used to guide them in practice until they reach the state of channeling the spirit of the fist, allowing them to integrate the spirit of the fist into the blood, and they themselves are the vessels for brewing wine. "< br>
“Raised like this The good wine can be used to recuperate them after they are bled and tasted. It cannot be said to be inexhaustible, but it can be harvested at least three times without losing its quality."
Gu Xilou said with a smile, "I will use it today. The ones here to entertain you are all good wines harvested for the first time.”
“However, even if we can’t lay an ambush, we must at least know each other’s methods so that we can cooperate.”
< br>
"If you want to taste this jar of wine, you have to let Gu see what you are capable of."
As he spoke, he pushed with one hand, and the big wine jar flew lightly into the air at a constant speed. .
