The fat shopkeeper had indeed come prepared. Not only was this tavern, but when Huzi and the others checked into this tavern for the first time, all the shops within a hundred feet of the surrounding area had been secretly bought by the fat shopkeeper’s subordinates. Because during these days, the Guatan tribe sent out many mortal corpse puppets to mingle among the people, and noble Wang Bin wanted to ensure that nothing went wrong. /p
The fat shopkeeper said to everyone: "I have some knowledge of 'Xia''s strength. I have detailed records of every battle you have had with the Guatan clan. I have concluded that 'Xia' has what it takes to become a Tiangong Dou." The potential is enough to change the current pattern of this sea area."/p
Regarding this point, it was actually news that noble Wang Bin had sacrificed many members of his family to find 'Lucky' many days ago. /p
"I would like to ask you all to help me dismantle nearly half of the Lu family's military forces in Tayang Kingdom. As long as this is accomplished, I, the noble Wang Bin, can naturally regain the imperial territory."/p
"What?" Lingdang shouted, "This is really a good job. We don't even know how big the Tatar Country is. What's more, we are currently being hunted by the Guitan tribe. How can we fight against half the country's troops?" ."/p
"You can think of your own solution," the fat shopkeeper said with a smile: "But I advise you to complete the matter that the Lu family asked you to ask for help first. After the Lu family has solved the Guatan clan, it will be easy to deal with the Lu family's army. Directly To target the Lu family's troops may cause the Guatan tribe to jump over the wall and ascend to the throne."/p
Mu Ziyun replied: "In my opinion, today's Tayang Kingdom is no different from the Guatan people who became emperor."/p
"You are wrong. The Lu family is still in charge of the country. Although his Guatan tribe has a large number of people, it is far behind the number of people in the entire Tatar Kingdom. It is not that they do not want to be emperor, but the time has not come yet."/p
Fang Tianmu suddenly said coldly: "You have no reason for us to trust you."/p
Huzi said: "Yes, how do we know whether the information you gave us is what we need? The world has been reorganized, and almost all the charts have been destroyed. Even if you come up with the correct map, hehe, we have another How can you believe it?"/p
"I'm a businessman," the fat shopkeeper replied, "I pay attention to integrity. You can rest assured on this."/p
Kite thought for a while and said, "Unless you give us half of the news, we can naturally judge whether it is true or false."/p
"Good idea" Huzi nodded in approval. /p
The fat shopkeeper is an old man who knows the ins and outs of "buying and selling". He was a little annoyed at first, but after weighing the value he could get, after thinking about it again, he replied: "Okay, the news about Huzhou is from me. The ones I found from the three forces are Taoist, 'Lucky' and 'Gravedigger'. Hey, if you knew what price it would cost to get information from these three forces, you would believe in the reliability of my information. ."/p
"Wait a minute," Mu Ziyun asked, "We know a little bit about Taoist and Lucky. What kind of force are the 'gravediggers' you just mentioned? It doesn't seem to belong to Tiangong Dou."/p
"The Gravediggers are a well-known dark force. They are the same as the Taoists. They are not a family or a gang. They are similar to an organization with faith as the core. However, the Taoists deal with heaven and earth, while the Gravediggers deal with the world. Tombbearers only talk to the dead."/p
"Eh? Isn't that the Guatan clan?" Lingdang asked suspiciously. /p
"No, the relationship between the gravediggers and the Guaidan tribe is the same as that of the Guaidan tribe. They have completely different beliefs from the Guaidan tribe. They respect the dead very much and will dig out the victims (dead people) from their graves under the starlight. And transferred to the underworld, which is revered by grave diggers as the holy river leading to the underworld, and will take away the belongings of the deceased, allowing them to come and go without worries, and only take what is from the deceased, Do not take other treasures in the tomb."/p
The fat shopkeeper continued: "People who know about grave diggers will put more money on their dead relatives. They regard this as a deal with the gatekeeper of the underworld. If they give more money, the souls of their relatives can be buried in the underworld." The longer you wander, the greater your salvation will be. The Gravedigger is not an enemy of the underworld, nor does he interfere in the affairs of the underworld. He just acts as a guide and gatekeeper. Since ancient times, gravediggers have come from later generations. Believers of the Guatan tribe come to inherit the vocation. And they never guide the dead souls of the Guatan tribe. Because the Guatan tribe’s treatment of the dead makes the gravediggers extremely angry. The gravediggers believe that after the death of the Guatan tribe, the souls Will not enter the underworld."/p
"Underworld?" Lingdang asked: "Underworld is purgatory, right? Our hometown has such a name."/p
"Maybe it's the underworld," Mu Ziyun said, "There seems to be a theory of hell in our hometown."/p
"I estimate that only the gravediggers know this." The fat shopkeeper continued: "The gravediggers only talk to the dead, so we can only use the dead to question them. Fortunately, they are not like 'lucky' Knowing the destiny so well, we spent tens of thousands of taels to find twenty-three scapegoats, and then we got some useful information."/p
"You still can't give us a reason to trust you." Fang Tianmu's tone was cold, with a hint of boredom. /p
The fat shopkeeper said quickly: "A lot of people came out of Huzhou some time ago, and that was before the sea area was reorganized. But as expected, there are still many people escaping from Huzhou now."/p
"Oh?" Mu Ziyun and Hu Zi looked at each other and asked, "How do you know? Have you seen them?"/p
"Before the reorganization of the sea area, in fact, nearly forty people from Huzhou came to this sea area during that period. But unfortunately, almost all of them died. Even if there were some alive, they were incognito or adults. He became a slave." The fat shopkeeper narrowed his eyes, "I learned this from the Taoist people. A Taoist once helped the Huzhou people, but failed."/p
"It's impossible," Mu Ziyun said, "There are very few people leaving Huzhou. Only those who have reached the highest level of cultivation will come out. How could there be more than 40 people coming out?"/p
"No," the fat shopkeeper replied: "It's not more than forty people, but forty people from Huzhou who came to this sea area. According to my inference, a large number of people from Huzhou should have gone to sea during that time, and their number should be thousands." Tens of thousands, just about a year ago."/p
"We left Huzhou more than a year ago," Huzi said. "I have never seen so many people traveling with us."/p
"That's because Huzhou was safe when you left." The fat shopkeeper smiled faintly. /p
Huzi and Muziyun's hearts trembled, and Huzi said anxiously: "What do you mean!"/p
The fat shopkeeper shook his head for a while and replied: "The plague, no, it should be said, is a disaster similar to the plague. Not long after you went to sea, it spread in Huzhou. According to those Huzhou people who fled to this sea area, Said, in just a few days, millions of people have died in Huzhou.”/p
"Fart!" Huzi slapped the table and stood up, with veins on his face exposed, and said angrily: "Even the most severe plague cannot have such a strong effect!"/p
"I advise you to believe it, because it is really a fact. Gravediggers once extradited the souls of Huzhou people. We used dead people to talk to them and after repeated verification, we got a certain message, that is, Huzhou People's souls are not clean. They should have been contaminated with some evil energy during their lifetime. Moreover, this evil energy is similar to a disease and can be contagious, but there is a stable period before the onset of the disease. This is why Huzhou people come to this sea area. They would die later. It was precisely because some of them accidentally revealed this situation that they were secretly massacred. People in this sea area were afraid that these Huzhou people would bring the plague here. Facts have proved that they did the right thing ."/p
"No, it's impossible!" Huzi rushed over, grabbed the fat shopkeeper by the collar, and yelled: "Give me the evidence, I want the evidence!"/p
"Okay, just the day before yesterday, we went to find Lucky again. We spent a lot of money and asked them to help us find a person. This person is still alive and is from Huzhou. He said that the plague came from a man named Yuanjiang. Where the trail begins, there is a cemetery, and the owner of the tomb is said to be named Tiannunu."/p
Boom, Mu Ziyun buried his head deeply and hit the table with his fist. Hu Zi could hardly stand up and said vaguely: "Tiannu, you are dead." Then he turned to stare at Mu Ziyun, "Tiannu Slave? Wasn't he killed by you?"/p
"I don't know." Mu Ziyun's eyes were bloodshot, "Isn't it true? He should indeed be dead. Li Mu and I are together." Mu Ziyun was stunned and stopped talking. /p
The fat shopkeeper continued: "That man is very good now. Coincidentally, he went to sea after the world was reorganized. In other words, he is now a living map back to Huzhou. Hehe, how are you? I believe Are you done?"/p
"Half the country's military strength, right?" Huzi said coldly, "Okay, no problem."/p
"That was just now." The fat shopkeeper smiled sinisterly, and the cunning nature of his businessman was revealed. "Now we have a country's military force, and you need to deal with it. Whatever you want to do, you can figure it out yourself."/p
"You!" Zingdang glared at him angrily. /p
The fat shopkeeper stopped staying. He originally wanted to provide more information about the Guatan clan, but it seemed that he didn't have the need to do so because the current price he offered was enough. /p
Nan Jue's words: Finally, I have filled in a hole. In fact, I originally wanted to describe it more obscurely, or wait until a specific time in the future to let Mu Ziyun know about it. Interested readers should read it in the final chapter of Tiannunu. Partly, he discovered the root cause of the disaster, and during Mu Ziyun’s subsequent travels, Nan Jue also revealed many times that something might have happened in Huzhou, and things have changed. Of course, it was not the plague, but Tiannunu. The filth left behind by the undead zombie bodies. /p
The future has infinite possibilities. For things outside the rules of the world, nothing is surprising. I hope Mu Ziyun can return to his hometown, otherwise /p
