Wen Guwen's hands holding the book began to tremble, and his mood could not be calmed down for a long time. He exhaled cold air from his mouth one after another... There was a trace of surprise on his straight face...
The former Zhiya Zhizhou and Baidu Xiezhou were collectively called "Shengzhou"
The largest Taoist lineage in Shengzhou is the Dazheng lineage, and the people of Dazhang are spread all over the world, and its footsteps have even stepped on the Yaogui clan.
"The war will not stop, and the deadlock will not stagnate."
The most turbulent era brought about the glory of the Dazhang lineage, and even the prosperous age of "one hundred emperors and one more". This is where the ancestral motto comes from - "When the world is in chaos, my way will reach the top."
But a stable era will inevitably create new turmoil...
During the period of Wen Gu, the gods punished the monks in Shengzhou for a short period of time, while the monster clan had great luck.
The oncoming force was so ferocious that the prosperous times disappeared in an instant, and the eastern hinterland of Shengzhou also fell into the hands of the monster clan, which is now the "Secret Place"
Now the "land of establishment" and "prosperous state" have also been destroyed one after another, and the way of heaven is about to be annihilated...
As a monk outside, you will see piles of bones within three inches of walking, shriveled corpses flying around after walking four feet away, and mountains of corpses and seas of blood as you travel five feet away.
"The day of chaos, the time of death"
One hundred and one emperors of the Dazhang lineage fought for their lives, turned themselves into zombies, and guarded the border for tens of thousands of years.
The "Secret Place" has not yet been recaptured...
"The world is in turmoil, and I can be the king."
A total of four branches, namely the Zhasi, the Tianlu, and the Wu Gu, which are similar to the Da Zhong lineage, were suppressed together in the Baidu Evil State.
It is well-known as "removing evil spirits"
Since then, the great prosperity of the Dazhang clan has been lost, and it is difficult for those who have attained the Tao to appear in the world again. It is also called the "Internal Troubles"/"Foreign Troubles" together with the Monster Clan.
Wen Mao once thought about how powerful the Dazhang lineage was in the past, but he never imagined that it would be so powerful. Such an ending is really disappointing...
The path of cultivation in the Dazheng lineage is complicated, and it is the most difficult for those who achieve great attainment. The practice of this lineage emphasizes the unity of heaven and man, and neither the five elements nor the energy of yin and yang can be used.
We should cultivate the Tao with our innate Qi, carry the great strength on our backs and generate the same Qi, and borrow the Tao of our ancestors to walk the path of today's people.
Those who have mastered the Way of Casting can bear the burden of fellow practitioners...
However, at the time when "there were only one emperor in a hundred", those who achieved success in our clan were very few and far between.
Most bear the twelve zombies under the four ancestors: Hanjing, Hanqiao, Hanwen, Yingfan, Yingyuan, Yingchen, Jiangling, Jiangyun, Jiangying, Junfeng, Fuyi, Yunqing, or more The next sixteen dead kings.
Apart from the patriarchs of the first seven generations, there is only one person who can bear the title of Han Bao, Ying Gou, General and Empress, and that is Chang Qingzi, the number one person under the emperor.
When he read this, Wen Mao leaned down suddenly. Previously, Chang Qingzi only had the status of a hundred saints, but he was able to defeat his fellow disciples Zhanzu. He even did it before he reached the realm of a hundred saints. His Majesty the Emperor The first person lives up to his name.
The stiff head - Jian, so far no one can defeat him.
I have heard about this Zhan Shouhuan. It is said that all the four ancestors of the zombies came from his methods. It is not bad to say that he is the ancestor of the great zombie lineage.
When Wen Mao was about to continue reading, he found that the book was at the end and most of the book was missing?
Chang Qingzi mentioned the glory of the Great Zombie and Zhanzhi lineages before, but what about the other two lines that were suppressed here at that time?
In a daze, Wen Guwenmao's memories that he had not recalled for a hundred years emerged...
Wen Mao was only ten years old at that time, and he still lived in that dilapidated house. The flowing stream was as clear as it is now.
Wen Mao lay on the edge of the river, searching for fresh insects in the clay. If he was lucky, he could catch a few water snakes that had just emerged from the water and came to the shore.
His hands were already covered with a whole layer of dirt. He must have been digging for a long time, so long that he couldn't even remember.
I was so hungry that day that I couldn't even open my eyes. I resisted my sleepiness and let my eyes peek into the soil to observe. Since the last time I ate a pack of snacks for the first time, I haven't had a full meal for about ten days. .
It was the first time that I felt that I was so close to death from starvation. My eyelids were about to droop, as if they would die if they drooped. Finally, I caught a nest of earthworms from a few shallow potholes.
After briefly rinsing it in the water twice, he picked up half of it and put it into his mouth. The smooth and tender skin was dense in the mouth, and the fat in his belly filled his mouth after chewing it. The taste was not good. But I was finally able to wrap my belly around.
It feels good to have something in my stomach, and I don't feel flustered or dizzy.
Wen Mao rinsed it again and was about to eat the other half when an old, wrinkled hand grabbed his wrist. He reached out and grabbed the other half of the earthworm and put it into his mouth.
Maybe he had already eaten, or maybe he didn't have enough energy. Wen Mao ignored him and continued to wait for the food to be delivered to his door.
The white-haired old man smiled, showing a pair of complementary teeth, and lay down next to Wen Mao.
It’s not surprising that many people starve to death in this place.
But the old man seemed to be deliberately going against Wen Mao. Every time Wen Mao found prey, the old man would snatch it in advance, and even a few fish that slipped through the net would be snatched from Wen Mao's hands and eaten.
It was bearable at first, but this old man went too far. Wen Mao was angry but did not dare to kick him too hard, for fear of kicking the old man to death in anger.
But I thought too much. This old man looked really shriveled, but he was very strong. Wen Mao was grabbed by him just as he was about to leave. He pinned Wen Mao's hand on the ground and pressed it very hard. Punch after punch.
"Little thing, are you not going to cry?" The old man smiled and picked up Wen Guwen with one hand, but clenched his teeth and cursed back, "Man, why are you crying! Damn old man, if you offend me, I will kill you sooner or later. you!"
The old man laughed "hehe" twice and put down Wen Mao. "I will teach you a good thing. You may need it in the future."
"Don't learn! Get out!" Wen Mao kicked him very hard without moving. The old man pushed him to the ground and sat down. Suddenly he stretched out his hand and pulled out a water snake from the running water. The water snake was inexplicably shriveled like the old man.
Wen Mao looked at this scene in disbelief. This was completely beyond the scope of his cognition. He tried to convince himself that this dead old man had slipped the water snake, but he couldn't find the fresh snake around the old man. water snake.
The old man bit his index finger and didn't know what he drew on Wen Mao's palm. Every stroke he made disappeared. Now that he thinks about it, it looks like a "witch" and a "gu".
From that day on, it was as if I had opened up the Ren and Du channels. If I caught too many bugs, I would try to rub them back and forth like that dead old man...
Soon it became shriveled.
Later, the master told himself that this seemed to be a method of making poison. He didn't quite understand it at first, but now it seems that it must be a method of "witchcraft".
But how did he pass it on to himself? During these years of retreat with Master, I also had the interest to study again, but every time I failed...
Having fallen into that situation a hundred years ago, is this witch and Gu lineage lost to the world, or has it become invisible and hidden?
There may be more of the former...
I don’t know if the old man is dead or not...
Wen Guwenmao took the initiative to stop the fermenting emotions.
The Witch Gu lineage is already like this, how much better will the other lineage be?
He put the historical materials back to their original places, left the ancestral temple, and whistled again. The messenger crow still heard the sound and came over. Wen Mao tied the token to the messenger crow's back and stroked it gently. Its wings seem to tell it where to go.
Watching Xin Ya's retreating figure, Wen Mao took out a map from his arms, and the place called "Corpse Forest" was specially circled.
This place is not far from the "Corpse Forest", it is in the valley behind. After confirming the location, I put the map in my arms again. This map was drawn with the help of my master during the retreat, but I don't know how old it is. No changes?
The spring breeze blew all the way to the valley, where a crack in the sky reflected the sunlight. With every step, the Golden Crow fell into the crack.
The end of the valley is also the end of light. If you want to go to the "Corpse Forest", you must pass through this rift valley. As soon as you take a step into it, you will become invisible.
Fortunately, "Heaven and Man Cave" guides the way, and Wenmao Guan is more confident in his current path.
Due to the abnormal structure of this rift valley, any sound inside will be amplified several times and will be echoed back and forth.
The sound of footsteps was like the sound of a bell. Wen Mao had to cover his ears before walking. Even so, the sound of the insects was still thunderous.
After walking a few steps, I came to a forest. The atmosphere was very strange. My pupils widened instantly. Every step I took since I stepped here was calculated. It was at least a hundred miles away from the "Corpse Forest".
Wen Mao began to be wary of the surrounding environment and continued walking into the forest...
As soon as Wen Mao stepped in, flocks of birds were fluttering in the forest, and the sound of their wings clashing and rubbing made him plug his ears again.
The trees in front of me grew in all directions, blocking all the possible roads except one. He squatted down and dug some dirt under the tree, and looked at the roots of the trees in the ground. He was sure that this was how they grew, and it was not intentional, so he walked along the path with confidence...
"Wow...wow wow...wow...wow wow..."
Children's cries were heard one after another deep in the forest. Wen Mao stopped where he was, realizing that he might have wandered away.
Wen Mao opened the "Celestial Cave Observation", and the power of divination focused on his eyes, and he could see through this place at a glance. It was not a forest, but a mass grave with many desolate bones, "Yes..."
"Wow!"
A roar came from behind Wen Guwenmao, startling him into a cold sweat. Wenmao turned around to avoid the bite of the vicious beast in front of him and took two steps back.
It has a sheep's head and human body, tiger teeth and human claws, and its eyes are in the armpits. As Wen Guwenmao expected, it is a roe deer owl, but he still doesn't know when he was led astray.
While he was thinking about it, the roe owl came towards him again. Wen Mao did not dodge anymore. He received a claw in each hand and his feet fell to the ground with a lunge. The brute force of these ferocious beasts is the most arrogant.
A stiff force surged in Wen Mao's hand, and fire ignited where the roe deer owl touched his palm. When he lost his strength, Wen Mao took a step back and pushed the roe deer owl to the ground. One punch directly shattered the sheep's head.
Wen Mao pulled off his two front legs and wrapped them around his waist so that he could use them to satisfy his hunger. He spread his powers of observation around his body, but he still couldn't find the culprit that caused him to hallucinate.
After thinking about it, the only thing left was the chirping of insects... No wonder I can still hear it even if I plug my ears.
He passed through every tree trunk, almost smashing the phantom forest to pieces, and walked for more than ten miles before finally leaving.
"Huh..." Chief Wen Mao let out a breath. Maintaining the method of "Celestial Observation of Heaven and Man" in this way consumes Qi Yun. After all, it is also the method of a hundred saints. It is no more than a dream to truly control a state like his own.
The next road was much easier to walk. Except for some gravel and weeds, there was nothing blocking the road. However, the dark environment became more and more intense. After nearly a hundred miles, we reached the "Corpse Forest".
Before entering the forest, there was a strong stiffness rushing out, and the smell of decay also hit the nostrils. The forest in front of you was made up of wild trees, with old bark and dead poplars hanging with pieces of meat hanging on them. , green bamboos with leaves stained with blood on their tips, crooked pine trees with no heart...
The scene was like a miserable scene in purgatory. The bitter and salty smell of tears and the fishy smell of flesh merged into a new smell. The corpse inside was extremely restless. It seemed that this smell that had never been tasted or even heard was seducing him.
Wen Mao drove Peng Di out of the body again, smashed it into pieces with his palm, and reunited him. Even though he was treating the symptoms but not the root cause, he still calmed down a bit.
After taking a few deep breaths, he stepped into the forest. His body shook uncontrollably, and various shouts rang out in the forest of corpses, as if they were struggling before death...
Wen Mao calmed down and opened his eyes wide. A dead zombie crawled out from the ground, hugged his legs and tried to drag him down. "I am worried that I have no place to try." The yin and yang atmosphere is balanced and harmonious, Wen Guwen turned around and held down Zongzheng's head, pulling it out from the ground. When the "ghost-catching hand" fell, it instantly turned into a ball of zombie air and dispersed... "I have been dead for too long, and my strength is gone." ?”
At the moment of doubt, another group of zombies crawled out of the ground behind them...
Wen Mao struck the palm of his hand calmly into the ground, and the ghost-catching method blended with the water accumulation in the ground, and all the dead zombies turned into dead air and dispersed. Fortunately, there were still two or three dead zombies left with stiffness, otherwise it would have been bamboo. The basket is filled with water.
The master has told me before that the yin energy here is extremely heavy, and the deeper it gets, the heavier it gets. Therefore, corpses floating all over the place within a radius of thousands of miles can use this yin energy to turn into zombies. However, there are three, six or nine levels of zombies. There are dead zombies who have very little zombie power and just take advantage of the situation to become a zombie. There are living zombies who have more stiff power and retain independent thinking. Most of the zombies travel together, and sneak attacks and sieges are endless. You must be more careful; there are also spiritual zombies with extremely strong zombie power and Qi Yun also existing in the zombie body. They not only retain their thoughts, but also retain memories of their lives. The spiritual zombies are the lords in the corpse forest. They are in the zombie forest. Dead zombies, living zombies, pedestrians passing by, and monks who are undergoing trials all draw strength without distinction of purpose. It is said that at the ultimate level of refining, one can abandon zombies and turn against others. The general spirit of the first person under the four great ancestors of zombies walked through it. This way.
Because the force of rigidity is extremely strong and integrated within the Qi Yun, there are few opponents in the same realm when it comes to body and Tao, so it is inevitable that some people will have evil thoughts and deliberately take this path.
Anyone who encounters this situation can only use the word "kill" to interpret it.
