Yuzhen heard the movement there and was thinking about getting closer to take a look, but she saw that the house in the small courtyard suddenly collapsed.
At the moment before the collapse, a figure jumped out from the yard. It was not Lu Jing, but who was it? Moreover, he was holding another person in his hand.
The man looked very weak, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, and he looked like he was out of breath.
After Lu Jing came out, he also saw Yuzhen and asked her, "Is there any water on you?"
Yuzhen nodded, took off the water bag from her waist, and handed it over.
Lu Jing opened the water bag and brought it to the man's mouth. The man had his mouth tightly closed at first. After seeing the water, he immediately opened his mouth and pounced on the water bag like a vicious dog.
Yuzhen couldn't help but take two steps back when she saw this, but Lu Jing said to her, "Don't be afraid, he is a normal person."
"How are you sure?"
"As I said before, those people surrounding here are waiting for the meal, and the meal they are waiting for is him."
Yuzhen was slightly relieved after hearing this, but then she frowned and said, "What on earth is going on with those people?"
"They were all harmed by the demon." The man drank all the water in the water bag, finally regained some strength, and said when he heard Yuzhen's question.
"Demon Dao, are you talking about Jinguang Zhenren? Then who are you?"
"My name is Jiang Sheng. I was originally a knight-errant. I learned some boxing and kicking skills and helped out everywhere. Before I met the demon, my life was quite happy."
Yuzhen was waiting for Jiang Sheng to continue speaking, but unexpectedly the latter suddenly closed his mouth, and then looked at her and Lu Jing longingly.
"What do you want to do again?"
"Thank you two Gao Yi for saving me from those living corpses and giving me water. Well... can you help me find something to eat if you are tired? I'm really hungry. I haven't had anything for seven or eight days. I have eaten but I don’t have the energy to speak.”
Seeing Lu Jing looking over again, Yuzhen shook her head and said, "Don't look at me. We're not going far away. Carrying a water bag is already the limit. I can't bring any more dry food."
Jiang Sheng was very disappointed when he heard this.
But then Lu Jing said, "Wait for me for a while."
After saying that, Lu Jing started to use Qinggong and ran into the woods again. After a while, when he came out again, he was holding two sparrows with their necks broken.
Lu Jing originally planned to light a fire and roast the sparrows, but Jiang Sheng's eyes lit up when he saw the food. He didn't want to wait for a moment longer, so he grabbed the raw sparrows from Lu Jing's hand and fed it to himself. Stuff it in your mouth.
Yuzhen almost vomited after seeing it.
But Jiang Sheng looked like he was savoring the delicacies of the world. He didn't even spare the bones. He chewed them into pieces and swallowed them all.
After eating, he was still unfinished and asked, "Is there more?"
"No more." Lu Jing said, "These are for your stomach. Only after you answer the questions can you have food."
Perhaps it was because the water and sparrow meat he had just regained some of his strength, or perhaps because he also noticed the scattered corpses at the foot of the hillside, which made Jiang Sheng realize that the two people in front of him were not something he could afford.
So he didn't put any more conditions, nodded and said, "If you have anything you want to ask, my two benefactors, just ask, and I will definitely tell you everything you know."
"What did you call those people just now, living corpses?" Yuzhen spoke first,
"Yes, Jin Guang's demonic way uses magic to bring the dead back to life. It is precisely because of his magical methods that he gathered so many believers in a short period of time. Even I was betrayed by him at the beginning. I was blinded and completely devoted to him, but..."
Jiang Sheng paused and continued, "But those people who were revived by him were not really alive. At the beginning, maybe it was hard to see anything. They were even healthier than before. , their strength is also greater, but as the world goes by, their tempers will become more and more violent.
“Then they will start to attack the people around them, not just the people who provoke them, but also strangers, and even their parents, wives and children. Anyone who dares to approach them will be attacked by them without exception.
"If that's all, forget it. People who are attacked by those people, whether they are bitten or scratched, will have a drastic change of temperament like them within three days and start to like to attack others.
"These people are unable to communicate, and in the end they only have the instinct to bite and catch. When there is no one to catch, they wander around like walking zombies. They can go without eating for a long time, and even if they are seriously injured, as long as they are not caught, Even if their heads are cut off, they can still walk and jump. Jin Guang, the evil spirit, calls them living corpses.
"By the way," Jiang Sheng thought of something again and his face changed slightly, "Were you not injured by them when you fought with them just now?"
"No." Lu Jing said.
Jiang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." Then a look of shock appeared on his face, "Are there only two of you? There are so many living corpses outside, how did you kill them all? "
But what Yuzhen thought of after hearing Jiang Sheng's words was another question. Before entering the woods, Lu Jing gave her clothes and asked her to wrap her hands and feet, and told her not to be hurt by things in the woods. , which coincides with what Jiang Sheng is saying now.
Could it be that Lu Jing had seen those living corpses before today? But Yuzhen saw that Lu Jing was listening seriously at the moment, which made her a little confused about the man in front of her.
Lu Jing didn't notice Yuzhen's little move and asked Jiang Sheng, "What is your relationship with Taoist Jinguang? Why do you know so much."
"I was a thug hired by him to help him deal with some shady matters." Jiang Sheng said, "But later, he found a more powerful guy and planned to kill me to silence me, but before he could do it, he met someone That’s about it.”
"what's up?"
"The Jinguang Demon Dao deceives people by resurrecting the dead, but he knows very well how powerful those living corpses are, so in less than three days, he must find a way to get rid of that living corpse, but this time a corpse appears out of nowhere. There was a living corpse, and it was already too late by the time the Golden Light Demon Dao discovered it.
"The living corpse has bitten many people, and those people have turned into living corpses. Even the Golden Light Demon Dao was not spared. I saw with my own eyes that his throat was bitten off by a living corpse."
Recalling the previous scene, Jiang Sheng also showed a look of intolerance.
"It was a mess at that time, and everyone was running for their lives. But the way out of the quarry was blocked by living corpses, so everyone had no choice but to flee into the mountains. I know there is a small courtyard here, and I don't know who lived in seclusion there before. There was a quiet room in the courtyard left by the hermit here. It had no windows and only a stone door. It was very solid, so I ran towards it as fast as I could.
"Some people saw me running here, so they ran with me, but they were not as familiar with the road as I was. In the end, I arrived first. I don't know if any of them have been bitten or caught by living zombies, so they came here. Then I went straight into the quiet room and closed the door."
At this point, Jiang Sheng looked at Lu Jing with a hint of awe, "That quiet room helped me resist the living corpses. To be honest, I didn't expect someone to be able to break open the stone door from the outside."
