Xie Bugui turned the bamboo tube upside down and sprinkled the realgar wine on the road that must be passed by the seven-level pagoda as if it was free. In order to prevent them from taking a detour, Xie Bugui not only doubled the length of this 'defense line' under the attack of the Inferi, but also ensured that it was wide enough.
At the same time, there were also Yin zombies that kept harassing Zhang Hazi, but they were all chopped back by him with a bamboo knife. This was the first time I saw him slashing people with a knife from bottom to top at such a close range - oh, cutting corpses. I have to say that the way he chopped up corpses with a knife had a bit of a Young and Dangerous vibe to him.
The reason why I feel so relaxed is because I think realgar medicinal wine should be the perfect solution to the current predicament. Snakes, no matter how big or small, are afraid of realgar. If they smell it, they will turn around and run away.
In the novel "Zhiguai", didn't Bai Suzhen, the thousand-year-old snake demon, reveal her true form after drinking realgar wine? Monsters with thousands of years of experience are not worth mentioning in front of realgar, let alone these seven teams that look like giant pythons.
However, just when I was full of confidence, the scene in front of me completely shattered my confidence.
Under the dim moonlight, I saw the seven fellow villagers in the front row. When they climbed to the realgar wine defense line, they did pause for a moment, but only for a moment. Then they stretched their hands across the defense line and pressed it accurately on the grass soaked in medicinal wine, and continued Crawling forward without being affected at all.
Why is this happening? Aren’t snakes afraid of realgar? How could they crawl forward so nonchalantly?
Xie Bugui, who came back from the front, also looked surprised. I could even tell that his mentality was about to collapse. When facing the invading Inferi, he pumped his fists extra hard, as if he wanted to vent the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.
Zhang Hazi was silent for a moment, and then said to us that they are human beings after all.
I know they're all human, but aren't they now a formal python in a camel's coffin? Since it is formal, it stands to reason that they should also have snake-like attributes and should be afraid of realgar.
Zhang Hazi shook his head, frowning in thought, with a puzzled and solemn look on his face. It was obvious that he had not thought about this matter for a while.
"Did I make a mistake?"
I heard him say something to himself. Although his voice was very small, his words were full of desolation and loss.
I rarely see Zhang Hazi like this, almost never, so for a moment I didn’t know how to comfort him.
But soon, Zhang Hazi laughed loudly, and then said, I will almost be fooled by your ancestors.
Seeing him looking disappointed and laughing, I thought he couldn't figure it out and was crazy, so I hurriedly called him and asked him what he was talking about.
Zhang Hazi glanced at me sideways, and then said to me, do you know why they crawl so slowly?
Now I don't care why they climb so slowly, I only care about why they are not afraid of realgar wine! Besides, isn't it bad that they climb slowly? Doesn’t this give us more time to think about countermeasures?
But Zhang Hazi said that if you want to understand why they are not afraid of realgar wine, you need to understand why they crawl slowly and crawl slowly.
After hearing this, I had to use my brain to analyze the whole story.
Indeed, it stands to reason that even without me as an external force to push it, the speed of the giant python and camel coffin will not slow down. But at their speed, it would take three or four days to get here from the village, not to mention seven or eight days.
There are too many variables in such a long time. Just like now, as long as someone sees through the external force that hangs the seal and the monument to push them, the seven-level pagoda of Xie Chuanji's grandson is likely to be ruined. In this case, why do their grandparents take this risk?
Do you look down on Zhang Ha Zimai?
Therefore, theoretically speaking, it is abnormal for them to climb so slowly. But why it climbs so slowly, I haven't figured out the reason yet.
Zhang Hazi said that it was because they were only 'similar in appearance' and did not achieve 'form' in the true sense. In other words, they are human beings at heart, so they can't get up as fast as a python, so the realgar medicinal wine will naturally be ineffective on them.
"So that's it..."
I heard Xie Bugui murmur in a low voice, as if he suddenly realized something. I just like to see him look like he has never seen the world, it is very much like myself when I first met Zhang Hazi.
Although we have figured out the reason, the question arises again, that is, why did Xie Chuanji not make it into its true form? In this way, before we discovered it, the seven-level pagoda might have been completed and became a The immortal has become a Buddha.
Could it be that he is not capable enough?
Zhang Hazi shook his head and said that they probably thought that we would come to stop them before they were alive, and they also guessed that we would use realgar medicinal wine to block the way. Therefore, because I always doubted myself and became depressed, he had to sacrifice speed to ensure safety.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Hazi added another sentence, saying, I will be a bad ancestor in your house. If I were not determined, talented, and unparalleledly handsome, I would almost be fooled.
I have long been used to Zhang Hazi's narcissism, so I just ignored this sentence. But Xie Bugui still had an expression of great agreement and recognition, as if what Zhang Hazi said was all right. I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh.
But having said that, I have never seen Xie Chuanji alive, so I don’t know what kind of person he was during his lifetime. But now after listening to the details analyzed by Zhang Hazi, I have a general understanding of Xie Chuanji, and he must have been like this during his lifetime. An unfathomable old monster.
But if this realgar wine is useless, how can we stop the seventh-level pagoda from moving forward? They were only thirty or forty meters away from the tomb now. Although their speed was very slow, they would definitely get here before dawn. Moreover, there were still Inferi clearing the way, making them even more unstoppable.
Although Zhang Hazi's sword was sharp, it was still unable to deal with the Yin Corpse. Cutting off the arms and head of the Inferi with two knives before was already Zhang Hazi's limit. Although he didn't say anything, I could still see his right hand holding the sword trembling slightly while I was squatting.
Obviously, the knife that just chopped off his head was a heavy burden on him, and it was probably out of desperation that he unleashed his potential. If you want to use such a sword technique again, you may have more ambition than strength.
I have seen him hacking at the Inferi with a bamboo knife. With one slash, he could only leave a shallow mark on the body of the Inferi, and sometimes the skin could not even be broken. This is not because Zhang Hazi's strength is reduced, but because the Yin corpse has been specially treated and its Yin energy is too heavy, making it difficult to break through the defense.
Moreover, without Zhang Hazi's craftsmanship, he could not exert 100% of the strength of the bamboo sword. It was really difficult for him to cut off the Yin Corpse with one sword.
It is because the Yin corpse is entangled with Yin energy, so it is more difficult to deal with than the living corpse. This is one of the reasons why Xie Bugui was able to kill the living corpse in the backyard of Feng's house, but he was unable to do so here. Of course, the most important thing is that Xie Bugui used too much force before, otherwise even the Inferi would be nothing more than a punch from him.
And it can also be seen from this that Xie Chuanji and his grandson had been planning this matter early in the morning. Otherwise, how could the corpses in the surrounding tombs, lying in the coffins, turn into ghosts for no reason? corpse?
Although I am not proficient in Feng Shui, I am absolutely certain that this is definitely not a place to raise corpses. Someone must have used secret methods to cultivate these corpses and turn them into Inferi, and the purpose of that person was to protect their grandchildren at this moment.
I understand the truth, but this is not the way to go. The three of us will be trapped and die here. And once the seven-level pagoda reaches the tomb, everyone in the village will be buried with Xie Chuanji and his grandson!
It has to be said that Mr. Xie Chuanji is really crazy. In order to realize his illusory dream of immortality, he not only does not take the lives of living people seriously, but also does not spare the dead.
It would be better for your grandsons and grandsons to die on your own, but you insist on dragging the whole village with you. You are so shameless. Doesn’t God even care? It's a good thing that you are already dead, otherwise I would really like to slap you in the face and let you know what a socialist beating is!
I complained to myself, but after Zhang Hazi drove away a corpse with a knife, he suddenly turned around and asked me, what did you just say?
I didn't know that he would have such a big reaction after being stung by my words, so I repeated what I just said.
After Zhang Hazi heard this, he suddenly shouted, "I'm going to make a fool of myself in your house. I know how to stop the seventh-level pagoda master!"
