"Here." Wu Daozi waved his long sleeves, and a soul sealing ball flew out. The yin qi emanated from the bandages.
Li Zhenshu is a smart woman, she didn't ask anything, and she didn't talk much, just like a non-existent bystander, holding her coffee and sipping gently.
In the last 24 hours, there was absolutely no time to waste. After Qin Ye told Li Zhenshu what had happened in the past few days, he rubbed his hand on the Soul Sealing Ball, strands of Yin Qi flew into his hand, and the Soul Sealing Ball scattered like a flower. open. Countless pitch-black ghost fires were entangled and turned into a turbulent vortex. With a violent gasp and a plop, a bald old man wearing a khaki and brown-red monk robe suddenly appeared in the vortex.
Ba Siba... This once famous teacher of Meng Yuan Emperor, now his spiritual body is looming, and his thin body is shaking slightly. After a long time, he raised his dim eyes and moved his lips, but said nothing.
"You should know who this official is." Qin Ye said lightly, "I ask, you answer, do you have any questions?"
Ba Siba pursed her lips tightly and shook her head sullenly.
"Huangjia Tulou, do you remember?" As soon as these words were spoken, Ba Siba's body trembled slightly, as if he heard some nightmare-like words. The throat moved violently. Then calmed down.
"In the second year of Zhongtong, you led six eminent monks to the Huangjia Tulou. What did you find? What happened? Say it."
silence.
Three seconds later, Ba Siba stood up with his hands folded, and heaved a long sigh of relief: "If the King of Hell has any questions, naturally he will answer any questions... In the second year of Zhongtong, I followed the secret order of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of Yuan Shizu, and went to Fulin Road to search for it. The legendary elixir of immortality."
Li Zhenshu's hand holding the coffee cup stopped.
Having eaten Tai Sui, I am too sensitive to these four words.
No one interrupted, Qin Ye gently crossed the bracelet, and all eyes in the room fell on Ba Siba. Although there was not a word, the oppressive atmosphere was like a mountain rain coming. Ba Siba didn't have any stupid idea of cheating at all, took a deep breath and said, "Tai Sui."
Sha... Qin Ye's bracelet stopped, and the anticipation that had been suppressed in his heart overturned again.
It is indeed too old!
"Huangjia Tulou... According to the county records, some people lived from the fifteenth year of Shunzhi to 1995. Only Taisui can do this." He said quietly: "But... I have recruited his soul. He has been dead for more than 20 years. Besides, you found Tai Sui? Why didn't you take it away?"
"Master Qin." Before he finished speaking, Ba Siba suddenly bowed 90 degrees respectfully: "The old monk has a humble request."
"Please give the old monk a chance to make up for his faults!" His Adam's apple moved fiercely, his chest heaving like a bellows, and he used all his courage to say loudly: "The old monk is proficient in all kinds of talisman techniques, such as Mahayana Buddhism, Tantra, and Lama teaching. I also have a lot of experience, the old monk... I would like to be the forerunner of the horse!"
Nominations? Very good timing...
Qin Ye said with a half-smile, "If you can make up for the six-party ghost king with a few words, it would be too cheap."
Hearing that there was no refusal, the ghost fire in Ba Siba's eyes suddenly jumped, he suppressed his excitement and took a few steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Tai Sui... This kind of divine creature of heaven and earth has no visions of heaven and earth when it was born, and the effect is only the legendary immortality. Not dead. In a remote place, even if the Song Dynasty could not find it for hundreds of years, it is not uncommon. But... It was discovered, aren't you surprised?"
"Old monk... He was also the leader of the protector of the country in the Yuan Dynasty. The top-secret law about Tai Sui is not passed down to six ears, only oral and no records! In this world... I am afraid that there is only one old monk who knows now!"
Qin Ye's eyes flashed: "Are you threatening me?"
"How dare the old monk!" Ba Siba knelt on his knees, fell to the ground, couldn't stand, and said in a trembling voice: "The old monk knows that he has sinned deeply, and only wishes to use everything he knows and learns to help King Yan of Qin to be powerful! Hell, give me a chance!"
silence.
After ten seconds, Qin Ye's bracelet sounded again, and he said calmly, "Okay, I'll give you this chance, I hope... your answer will satisfy me."
"My minister, obey the order!" Basiba's Chinese was very fluent, he kowtowed heavily, and then he stood up with his hands folded: "The time when the Huangjia Tulou was built can no longer be tested, and the Imperial City Division would never have noticed this Small places, however... In 1189 and 1190, in 1191, that is, the sixteenth year of Chunxi, the seventeenth year, and the second year of Shaoxi, there were three major floods, which were the largest three floods in the history of the Song Dynasty in Fulin Province. "Changting" There are records on pages 32 and 271 of the County Chronicle, Daoguang, and Fulin Tongzhi.”
Qin Ye said slowly, "Natural and man-made disasters are not within the scope of the guardian's monitoring."
"Yes... After the catastrophe, there was a big epidemic. After the flood, the land was starving, and there were not one good field left. At this time, Guo Juemi, the commander of the Imperial City Department of Fulindao, reported to the capital..."
Ba Siba pursed his lips and said word by word, "Zombies were found in Fulin Road, and the deputy commanders Guo Jue and Yao Tiangang died."
"According to the narration of the protector of the country, the leader at that time led several governor ambassadors to the Huangjia Tulou. And in the Tulou... 'All zombies, people eat each other'!"
Qin Ye's eyes flashed: "So, he left a talisman on the second floor?"
Without waiting for Ba Siba to answer, he immediately asked, "Why the balance talisman? The third floor is the county annals of the Yuan Dynasty. The talisman here should be left by you. What are you balancing?"
He had a guess in his mind.
If this guess is correct, then... the fog of the entire Huangjia Tulou will be cleared up!
Ba Siba said solemnly, "Because... these zombies can't be killed at all!"
"The Imperial City Secretary of the Song Dynasty stated that no matter how they killed these zombies, they would come back to life. However, they couldn't step out of the tulou. In order to prevent the spiritual situation here from further deteriorating, they had to adopt a compromise method-seal."
"These talismans can keep them clear and clear. They can make them realize that they are still individuals. They will not be as crazy as they were when they were zombies. But they can only hide in the tulou and can't go out forever."
Sure enough!
When the guess in his heart was confirmed, Qin Ye couldn't help but sighed, this line—the line called "the big picture", was finally clear in his mind.
Why did the Huangjia Tulou become what it is now
What happened to the people of Huangjia Village
Why is there a talisman on the second and third floors, and it is a balance talisman instead of a suppression talisman... The puzzles gradually became clear in his mind, forming a road to the other side!
No... not enough... He breathed a sigh of relief, forcing himself to calm down. With the big picture in mind, there are two crucial questions that follow. And these two problems, he must visit the Huangjia Tulou to solve.
"Where is Tai Sui?"
Ba Siba answered without hesitation: "Twenty meters below the big locust tree!"
Qin Ye closed his eyes: "Understood, you go down first."
Ba Siba wisely returned to the Soul Sealing Ball. The room was silent. After a long time, Qin Ye closed his eyes and asked, "Miss Li, what do you think?"
Li Zhenshu's face was cold and she said coldly, "That Tai Sui has a problem."
Qin Ye did not speak. The reason why he told the other party about the matter here was naturally because he wanted to use the wisdom of this woman who had lived for hundreds of years. Li Zhenshu also understood this, and quickly continued: "First, the zombies during Song Xiaozong's time were probably because of starvation after the flood, and the people of the Huangjia Tulou had to eat Tai Sui."
"But, you and I both know that something like Tai Sui... 50% chance of immortality, and 50% chance of turning into a monster. The people in the Huangjia Tulou seem to be unlucky, and they all turned into monsters. In fact..." She He sneered: "I suspect that someone moved too old. With this opportunity, the whole village has been turned into a monster!"
Qin Ye nodded, and this was the first thing he thought of when he heard Ba Siba's words.
There is at least a 50% chance... And from his arrival to Huangjiacun, there is no normal person! Has the whole village turned into monsters? Probabilistically speaking, this makes no sense at all!
He thought more deeply, probably because the bottom of his heart was darker... What he thought was that after the catastrophe, there is no harvest, people have to eat, and Tai Sui is just that. what to eat
There is only one answer.
Eat... those who become zombies!
If... He means that if someone eats Tai Sui first and is immortal, and he doesn't want to suffer from hunger, the best way... is to eat zombies. But the human heart is sinister, he is afraid, he may still have human nature at that time, he is afraid that he will kill the zombie, after eating the zombie, the people in the village will regard him as a ghost, or... the village people... will also eat him.
So... why didn't the whole village become zombies
So... who would question me
I... just want to live.
When he thought of this, even though Qin Ye saw a lot of life, old age, sickness and death, and parting from life and death, he felt disgusted for no reason.
Not for this.
but for humanity.
This incident is extremely likely to happen, otherwise the Imperial City Division would not have seen the village full of zombies, and Ba Siba would have explained to him that there were still people alive, but, no.
Li Zhenshu took a sip of coffee and said, "So... I'm sure Tai Sui has been manipulated. Although I don't know how he did it... But... at least it's certain. Someone ate Tai Sui and didn't turn into a monster. He... is still alive in this world!"
"Only he can do anything to Tai Sui. He has this condition."
This is that wicked soul!
The corners of Qin Ye's eyes moved slightly, and he began to collect clues, from the local to the overall situation, and now he is building a high-level structure, from the overall situation to the local, and finally... found the shadow hidden behind the thousand-year-old fog.
This man... is alive! still!
He is still in this world!
After living for a thousand years, in order to survive, the whole village was turned into zombies... But, this is not enough.
"It's not enough for the words 'heavily sinful'..." Qin Ye quickly moved the beads in his hand: "But... I wouldn't be surprised by what he did later. After he did this, he... is not worthy of it. become a man…”
Now, he has to sort out his thoughts and find the final focus!
