When the paper people swarmed into the alleyway of the housing area, the crowded garden square also became empty, as if everything he saw before was a dream or an illusion. The empty scene in front of him made Chen Xian feel dazed for a moment, but The mood quickly stabilized, and he knew what he should do at this time.
Now is the opportunity.
Chen Xian tightly held the weapon in his hand, habitually bowed his waist slightly and tensed his whole body muscles. His whole body seemed to have turned into a wild animal in a state of hunting. Even those eyes that were faintly shining in the dark , also gradually lost the peace and tranquility of the past, but appeared extremely aggressive and aggressive, like a hungry eagle looking for the trace of its prey...
Silently, Chen Xian had already dashed out from the shadow at the corner of the square, and his entire figure became blurred in an instant.
In this wide and unobstructed area, Chen Xian's running speed can be stretched to the limit in an instant, which is much more terrifying than the speed shown in the alleyway before, and even Chen Xian himself has some doubts at the end of the run... When can I run so fast
Chen Xian has a deep understanding of his own strength. At least in terms of physical function, he is very clear about the limit of his running speed. Even if he performs supernormally to increase his speed to the limit, it will not exceed 100 meters in 8 seconds. The speed limit will not exceed fifteen meters per second, but now...
On the square full of embers, Chen Xian's running speed has far exceeded his previous limit speed, and the distance he moves is at least 30 meters per second!
"I remember I didn't exercise recently..." While running, Chen Xian muttered in his heart, with a puzzled expression on his face, "Could it be that I'm still in the puberty stage?"
Running at a high speed, Chen Xian entered the central area of the garden square in a short while. The scene here was even more unacceptable than the outer area. Apart from embers, there were many weird and twisted human remains on the ground.
Like the crumpled limbs of a paper man, many severed limbs were distorted to an unimaginable level, and the severe smell of blood was exuded from the broken wounds.
How many people were killed in this disaster
Chen Xian couldn't help holding his breath looking at the stumps all over the place. Judging from the characteristics of these stumps, no matter from the abnormalities of the skin stratum corneum or the abnormalities of the bones, they should not belong to the body that appeared before. On the contrary, those paper people are very similar to what the victim became after being infected with the "virus".
What's it like to walk in hell
Chen Xian has never been to hell, but in his opinion, hell may be nothing more than that.
"Could it be that all the residents in the housing area were killed..." Chen Xian murmured, his running pace slowed down a little, and he was full of vigilance for the central fountain sculpture 100 meters away.
Those paper figurines stood side by side around the fountain sculpture before, combined with the wooden figurines to detect that the source of the "signal" of the talisman is located in the sculpture... This basically proves that there is indeed something unknown in the sculpture, whether it is the strange person behind the ghost, or this incident. The origin of the disaster should be able to find the answer there.
While gradually approaching the fountain sculpture, Chen Xian vaguely heard murmurs coming from that direction, like the ravings of an old man after drunk, hoarse and low with a strange aura.
"Sanqing Dao... Wudousheng... Taiping Cave Yanwan Fazhen..."
"Exercising Taiping and reversing techniques... Extinguish the flesh and bones without destroying the body... Five Doushu constricts the soul and does not disperse its shape... The three pure and righteous methods use talisman spells..."
"Sanqing Dao... Wudousheng... Taiping Cave Yanwan Fazhen..."
The weird whisper was intermittent, which made people feel creepy, as if the person didn't want to say these things, but every word crawled out of his throat abruptly, and he could only speak uncontrollably. Open your mouth and let these words pop out, as if you have become a machine that can only repeat, and can only say these few sentences over and over again.
In these whispers, Chen Xian noticed several key words.
Sanqing, Wudou, Taiping.
"San Qing Dao should refer to Taoism... Wudou... Could it be the Wudou rice religion created by Zhang Daoling in the Eastern Han Dynasty?" Chen Xian analyzed secretly in his heart, and when he heard that someone was talking over there, he didn't dare to walk too fast, so he could only walk lightly Approaching that side lightly, "Taiping Sect seems to be the Dharma lineage of the Eastern Han Dynasty... the founder should be Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army?"
Taoism is the religion with the most Dharma lineages. It is no exaggeration to describe it as a hundred schools of thought contending in ancient times, but most people only know the most famous sects, so that other Dharma lines are slowly dying out with history. , until now, only a few sporadic inheritances can be left behind, and it has been reduced to a folk law school that is biased towards witchcraft.
Sanqing Dao should refer to the overall prototype of Taoism, and the founder should be Lao Tzu Li Er.
As for the Wudou Rice Cult, it is the predecessor of the famous Tianshi Taoism, founded by Zhang Daoling, the founder of Tianshi Taoism, in the Eastern Han Dynasty. There are so many believers in China that their inheritance has not disappeared in the long river of history, but has been passed down to this day.
Taiping Road.
The lineage of this Taoist sect can be said to be the most ambiguous, because it appeared and disappeared early, leaving not as many shadows in history as other sects.
Of course, Zhang Jiao, the founder of this sect, is still very famous, especially the words that Zhang Jiao shouted when he led the Yellow Turban Army uprising were "popular".
"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky will stand. The year is Jiazi, and the world will be blessed."
Similar to other Taoist sects, Taipingdao also pays attention to the principles of yin and yang, five elements, talismans, and spells. Although most rumors say that Taipingdao preaches the word by giving believers medical treatment, no one can say what the truth is. It's clear, at least in the documents within the Bureau of Secrets, there are records about the Taiping Dao's control of ghosts and gods.
At this time, Chen Xian had already reached the center of the garden square, where the fountain sculpture was located.
The shape of this fountain sculpture is very ordinary, and it belongs to the style that can often be seen in the last century, but I don't know if it is because it is covered by too many embers, the surface of the stone sculpture is covered with many black spots of different sizes It looked like a patient suffering from a skin disease, with a strange and unspeakable feeling.
Perhaps this fountain has not been opened for many years. There is a lot of gravel and dust accumulated in the pool, and there are some things that resemble human organs, but they are all broken into pieces and it is difficult to distinguish from the shape. Chen Xian can only barely distinguish it from the smell. I can tell... it smells pretty fresh.
On the right side of the fountain pool, there is a man-made cave, and there is a sapper shovel with English letters printed on it and a well-made hoe beside the cave entrance. It seems that the man dug this place with these two tools. Hole.
The diameter of the cave entrance is about one meter. Looking from the entrance, it should be a cave extending downwards with a steep slope. The angle in the passage is almost vertical. If you go down, you may not be able to come up, because there is no way for people to turn around and change midway. The extra space in the direction, if the person going down has claustrophobia, he will be scared to death if he is not stuck halfway.
"Sanqing Dao... Wudousheng... Taiping Cave Yanwan Fazhen..."
"Exercising Taiping and reversing techniques... Extinguish the flesh and bones without destroying the body... Five Doushu constricts the soul and does not disperse its shape... The three pure and righteous methods use talisman spells..."
The strange whispers continued, and the speaker was in the deepest part of the cave, and even Chen Xian could vaguely hear the echoes inside while lying on the cave entrance.
"Is this person stuck inside?"
Chen Xian looked at the narrow and deep tunnel on the ground and muttered, if the space here was bigger, maybe he would have crawled in to find the man without hesitation, but...if the man couldn't find him, why would he be stuck in the tunnel? manage? Even if you don't die, it's not good to be stuck in it for ten days and half a month! Who knows when the Bureau of Secrets will clear this area? How long will it be until they rescue themselves
Do you want to go in
Chen Xian hesitated, originally wanted to observe more before making a decision, but the reality did not allow him to do so, because he heard many small footsteps coming from the room area, and the footsteps became more and more noisy and louder. It became clearer and clearer, as if hundreds of thousands of people were approaching here.
Those paper people are back? !
Chen Xian hurriedly looked back, and vaguely saw some familiar figures appearing on the edge of the room area, and sure enough, some scattered paper figurines came back.
"Give it a go."
Chen Xian gritted his teeth, and carved a line of big characters on the concrete floor with the saw teeth of the butcher knife, which probably means that I am going down to find the murderer behind the scenes. You must not seal the hole.
After doing all this, Chen Xian took a few deep breaths.
He first stretched the meat saw into the cave, and then he slowly crawled in, maintaining a posture of crawling slowly with his hands stretched forward, and gradually disappeared into the darkness...
