Anyone who has been in the world of martial arts knows that when walking in the world of martial arts, one should not speak nonsense or make random gestures. If it doesn't work well, it will be a bloody storm.
Gestures, in particular, are more difficult to follow than speaking. Some words may be wrong, but they may be corrected. However, when the other party gestures to you, it means that there is something confidential to convey, and it cannot be spoken or heard. If you pick up the other party's gesture, the slightest deviation will mean another thing, and it may lead to death on the spot.
I hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't understand your gestures!"
Dora sighed: "It seems that you are only his descendant, but not his successor. You go! I can send you away."
I was silent for a moment before saying, "Is there a demon's body hidden here?"
Dora raised her eyebrows: "How do you know?"
"I came here just for the demon corpse." I looked at Dora and said: "There is a person very important to me who was lost in the fairy and demon cemetery. I must find the demon corpse and let him lead the way to save people. The demon corpse, I am determined to win.”
Dora looked at me and said, "Are you willing to sacrifice yourself?"
"Yes!" I nodded heavily.
Dora asked again: "What if someone stops you?"
"Kill!" My eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Dora pressed forward step by step: "What if you can't kill him?"
"Run first, then kill!" The murderous intent in my eyes gradually became stronger.
Dora stared into my eyes and said, "What if I am the one who blocks you?"
"Sink this island and kill everything." As I spoke, the palms behind my back were already clenched into fists.
Dora took a deep breath and said: "You have passed the first test, come with me!"
Dora didn't care whether we agreed or not, so she turned around and walked into the forest. I made a gesture to Ye Xun, who immediately distanced himself from me, staying in a position where I could coordinate with each other, and followed. Behind Dora.
I said as I walked: "Who are you? Why do you use the Wang family's gestures?"
Dora said: "What if I told you that I also want to know who I am? Would you believe it?"
Dora continued without waiting for me to speak: "Many years ago, a man named Wang Zhan came to this island. He also brought a coffin."
"When he first came, the residents of the island thought he was a wizard and wanted to burn him to death. But I fought my way from the town into the forest. I walked into our territory and built a wooden house here to live. "
"Not long after Wang Zhan arrived, a formal conflict broke out between us and the residents of the town. At that time, Wang Zhan turned out to be the key to victory between us. Whoever he chooses to help will win."
I heard this and interrupted the other party: "Wang Zhan chose to help you?"
"Yes!" Dora nodded: "He thinks we are more reliable than the townspeople."
I pondered: "When did Wang Zhan go to the island?"
Dora thought for a moment and said, "I can't remember clearly. It was a long time ago, right? The Black Death was popular at that time!"
I couldn't help but frown: the Black Death is said to have originated in Central Asia, because when the Mongol Empire's army attacked the Black Sea port city of Kaffa, they introduced the plague into the city, and then spread it to Europe through Asian and European traders.
If calculated according to the chronology, it should be from the Yuan Dynasty to the Zhizheng period.
All this time, the news I heard was that Wang Zhan appeared in the Qing Dynasty. The time when Wang Zhan appeared this time spanned several hundred years. Is he the Wang Zhan I am looking for
"Can you remember what Wang Zhan looks like?" When I asked Dora this question, I didn't have much hope. I also asked Xia Qingqing the same question, and Xia Qingqing gave me the answer that Wang Zhan once left a portrait in Xuedizi, but his portrait was destroyed in a fire.
What I didn't expect was that Dora actually took out a palm-sized crystal from her body: "Wang Zhan's appearance is here. See for yourself!"
I took a deep breath, controlled my slightly trembling hands, and took the crystal from Dora. As expected, there was a half-length portrait of a person embedded in it.
The man's face was 70% similar to my dad's, but he looked much younger than my dad. If you compare him with the current photo of my dad and say he looks like my dad in his twenties, some people will definitely believe it.
There was a buzz in my head: Could it be that my dad is really immortal
Dora said: "When Wang Zhan handed this crystal to me, he told me that if his descendants come, take out the crystal and show it to him. Tell him a few words."
Dora turned around and looked at me and said: "His first words were, if you already know why I am in the crystal, then you go back. You don't need to touch the things in front, go back and find them The person who asked you to come here. Tell him to get what he wants by himself and don’t bother others."
As if Dora didn't want to give me a chance to think, he continued: "His second sentence is: If you haven't figured out who I am yet. Please think twice before making a decision. The road ahead is difficult, can you? If you want to leave, don’t leave. A stable life may not be an option.”
I couldn't help but frown after hearing this. The two sentences left by Wang Zhan seem to make some sense, but in fact they contain many contradictions.
The first contradiction is that he is sure that his descendants will come looking for him. However, he couldn't figure out whether his descendants were following orders or discovered the secrets he left behind.
Moreover, there is still a loophole in his words. The ancients valued dignity and inferiority very much, and elders wanted the dignity of their elders. But the tone of Wang Zhan's words clearly didn't sound like he was giving advice to his juniors, but instead seemed like he was reuniting with old friends.
The second flaw is even more obvious. He did not include any title in his message. This is a very important doubt. In the first sentence Wang Zhan left, he clearly asked future generations to find someone who was of the same period as him. But Wang Zhan obviously couldn't figure out which generation of his descendants would come to the island.
If it was Wang Zhan's son or grandson, his message could be explained. What if the person he comes to find is his descendant from another generation, or even another generation
Is it possible that there are still people who can live forever like Wang Zhan
The third contradiction is that Wang Zhan himself seems to have left some secrets on the island. But he always hesitated whether to hand over this secret to future generations.
From his last sentence, it can be seen that he knows that those who can walk on this island are divine explorers like him. He is trying to persuade his descendants not to take the path of divine exploration.
This matter sounds reasonable, but it violates the rules of the Exploring Hand.
There has always been an unwritten rule in the Detective Hand: "Grandfathers and grandchildren do not explore the God." That is to say, the Detective Hand can only be passed down to two generations at most, and will never be passed on to the third generation. Not only will they not let the third generation of descendants come into contact with Tanshen Jianghu, they will not even tell them that there are secrets behind the myth.
If they want to pass on their unique skills, they will only accept disciples and will not pass them on to their descendants. Therefore, the detective hand only has the sect, not the family. In the hands of Tan Shen, the relationship between master and disciple is often closer than that between descendants.
I once asked Mother Fox why the Detective Hand had such strange rules. The answer Mother Fox gave me was: Detective Hand didn’t want his family to lose its incense. “Three generations of Detectives will suffer misfortunes” has almost become a curse on Detective Hand, a curse that no one can break.
The information Wang Zhan left behind left me with too much confusion. It even made me feel that Wang Zhan’s message was somewhat self-talking.
While I was thinking quickly, Dora asked: "Do you still want to go forward? It's still too late to change your mind now."
I shook my head slightly and said, "I have never planned to change my mind. Just keep walking!"
"As you wish." Dora continued to move forward, and I asked again: "The demons banned on this island were brought by Wang Zhan?"
"No!" Dora shook her head and said, "I don't know how long the demons on the island have been banned. I have been tasked with guarding the demons since I was born."
"That time, the conflict between us and the townspeople was also because the devil broke the seal and controlled the townspeople to provoke a fight between us. If there was no King Zhan, that devil would have been born long ago."
I was immediately curious: "You mean: Wang Zhan sealed the demon again?"
"You can say that!" Dora said: "Wang Zhan first helped us defeat the townspeople, and then took the coffin into the Devil's Tomb. After he came out, the Devil's Tomb returned to calm, and allowed us to get Hundreds of years of peace.”
When I heard this, I suddenly asked: "Did you kill all the residents in the town?"
"It's not us, it's Wang Zhan." Dora said: "I think it should be difficult for you to accept this fact? But the real situation is like this. We killed the soldiers in the town, but Wang Zhan killed them all All the people in this town.”
Dora turned around and said: "Wang Zhan poisoned the water source of the town. It is a terrible poison. It can turn people into a monster that can only jump forward and live by sucking blood. Wang Zhan said , that kind of monster is called a zombie."
I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, then turned to look at Ye Xun. He was a Taoist disciple and had the most say on zombies.
Ye Xun nodded slightly and said: "According to the teachings of magic, zombies can be created artificially, but that kind of evil magic has been lost long ago."
Dora continued: "Those kind of monsters are too scary. They will spread like a plague. As long as there are people, they will eventually become their territory. It is because we cannot accept the existence of those monsters that we take advantage of the return of those monsters." When he went to sleep at his residence, the whole town was covered in ice.”
Dora took a deep breath and said: "Sometimes, I even think Wang Zhan is more like a devil. In order to achieve his goal, he will not show any mercy to anyone. He can always find a way to make you do things according to his ideas, Finally fell into his trap."
I thought for a moment and asked, "Was it difficult for Wang Zhan to defeat the townspeople?"
