I was very surprised to see him hesitate to speak, but out of politeness I couldn't ask too directly.
It lasted about five minutes before Mr. Chen put down his chopsticks and said to me: "Zombies cannot make elixirs. You said last time that one person said that eating the inner elixir of zombies can lead to immortality. That is a false rumor.
The true inner elixir disappears after a person dies, and although the inner elixir has a strange effect, it does not have the effect of making people immortal."
"According to what you said, those people brought a lot of zombies there for some other purpose?" I frowned and thought for a while, then asked.
"No, I just said that to correct you. It does not mean that what those people did has nothing to do with alchemy. Zombies cannot be used to make elixirs. Many people know this. However, in the early years,
There are indeed some people who take advantage of the characteristics of zombies to do this kind of thing."
"What do you mean?" After thinking for a while, I didn't quite understand. When Mr. Chen heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Do you still remember what I told you before? I said that zombies are different from ghosts. They have souls but no souls.
They have no independent consciousness and cannot think. They only rely on instinctive consciousness to do things, right?"
"Yes. I remember." I nodded and said.
"However, one thing you may not know is that the soul of zombies is different from that of humans, and it also has a very strange use. Speaking of which, this happened many years ago. I heard from the seniors that in the north,
There is a group of people with unknown origins in the mountains. These people come from a Wuzhu ethnic group that has disappeared long ago. No one knows their true identity. It is only known that they rarely follow the people.
Outsiders also master a very strange magic when they come and go. According to the legend, they sleep during the day and move at night. They often go out in groups. Every time they go out, they invariably carry some corpses back, and they don’t know who they are.
What's the use? Because their whereabouts are secretive and their appearance is special, these people are often regarded as shady soldiers and spread the word about wars.
In the old days, their movements became particularly frequent, but after the days calmed down, they rarely showed up. About twenty years ago, they suddenly appeared after disappearing for half a century, which quickly caused some
Attention from fellow practitioners. Once, several young mages who didn’t know the heights of the world came together and wanted to investigate what these things were about.
, after many investigations, several clues were finally found after more than a month. These people, after wandering in the mountains for several days, finally met those people. They did not say anything and quietly followed each other into the mountains.
, but who would have imagined that once you enter, you will end up with a narrow escape from death. In the end, only three people came out alive, and the rest all suffered accidents."
As Mr. Chen spoke, he raised his finger to make a sign of "three". Seeing that he hesitated to speak, I quickly asked: "Three? Apart from these three, are all the people who went in dead?"
"No, except for two of them, the rest are all dead." Mr. Chen said and sighed. Upon hearing this, everyone present was puzzled. Ding Ling put down his chopsticks and asked respectfully: "Old man
, do you mean that the two surviving people brought out one of their tribesmen from the mountains?"
"Yes." Mr. Chen nodded and picked up his rice bowl. When I heard this, a very strange feeling rose from the bottom of my heart. I frowned and whispered nervously: "Chen
Old man, are these two people who came out of the mountains also disciples of Maoshan?"
"Yes." Mr. Chen said and nodded again. Looking at his expression, I grinned: "Old man, you are not talking about Jin Jiuye and Jin Jiuye's father!"
"Haha, you guessed it." Mr. Chen said and smiled bitterly. As soon as he said this, I was speechless. After the brief shock, there was shock. After the shock, there was fear, and there was a little curiosity in the fear.
, I am very curious and very sad.
Well, once this story is told, many issues are connected together.
Don't ask, since it was Jin Jiuye and Jiuye's father Jin Daoqing who came out of the mountain, then the third person must be Gui Gui's mother who left long ago!
Regarding Gui Gui's life experience, Master Jiu has only revealed a little bit. It is said that Gui Gui's mother passed away not long after Gui Gui was born. How exactly she died, Master Jiu has always refused to tell.
However, it can be seen from the conversation that Jiuye's mother comes from a little-known mysterious race. It is said that those people master a very destructive magic, which is not inferior to Maoshan Taoism.
Jiu Ye also said personally that the situation was very dangerous at that time. He and his father almost died there. Moreover, Gui Gui's strange habit of always wearing a mask was also developed when her mother was alive. In this way
, Gui Gui is also a member of that mysterious race?
At least half of the blood!
No wonder this girl is different from normal people, she turns out to be a mixed race~
Thinking of this, another question came up. Since Guigui is also a member of that mysterious nation, does her special situation of not being able to leave the Iron Tower have something to do with this? Think again about Mr. Chen's description of those people.
, it reminded me of a group of people who stay up day and night!
On the way to Fengshen Valley, we clearly encountered a group of extremely tall "yin soldiers" who were hanging a group of dead people on bamboo poles and walking back. Those guys, wearing black and white clothes, looked like the legendary "Yin Soldiers".
"Impermanent Ghosts" are very similar, but we have never been sure who they are.
Where did it come from, but I remember that when I saw those things again, Master Jiu was just like the old man driving the car. His face was full of surprise but not nervous at all. The expression was weird. I never understood it. Now that I think about it,
, he was more like saying: "Damn it, why are these people here!"
Changbai Mountain, Laolinzi, a group of strange-looking people who stay up day and night! When I think about it, is it them that Mr. Chen is talking about!!!
Thinking of this, I opened my mouth wide. I never thought that the doubts about the zombie's alchemy would lead to such a big mystery. Just as I was about to follow this clue, I suddenly saw Mr. Chen's silent son.
He said, "Dad, does what you said have anything to do with using zombies to make elixirs?"
"Yes, of course. The matter of using zombies to make elixirs was discovered by Junior Brother Daoqing. He told me that the reason why the mysterious races in the mountains come out of the mountains to collect corpses and bring them back is because they want to use
Those zombies come to refine a medicine that can make people immortal."
