Demonic Cultivation: Starting from a Horse Bandit
Chapter 87 Resurrection from the dead?
The old man sighed, waved his hands towards the surrounding villagers, and motioned for them to disperse first, and then said, "This matter should not be known to outsiders. If the young hero insists on asking, I am afraid it will be a disaster rather than a blessing. I won't tell you." It’s also for your own good.”
Xu Sanyan smiled when he heard this, "Haha...why, could it be that I won't be able to get out if I know?"
The old man hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly, "Young hero, don't believe it. If you knew about this, you really wouldn't be able to escape."
Xu Sanyan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is there such a thing?"
He has never heard of such a bizarre thing. If he knew about it, would he be involved?
What kind of truth is this?
The old man shook his head, "Every word of this old man is true. If the young hero leaves now, it will be fine. Besides..."
"It's getting dark..."
Xu Sanyan looked at the sky and saw that the sun would set in the mountains in at most half an hour.
"So what if it's dark?"
Seeing that he was ignorant and fearless, the old man sighed in his heart. It was hard to persuade the ghost who wanted to die. Since he insisted on knowing, he stopped trying to persuade him. He turned around and pointed to the village and said, "Young knight, do you know the name of this village?"
Xu Sanyan shook his head, he didn't know where to go.
"This village is called "Coffin Shou Village". It was originally under the jurisdiction of Daliang Dynasty and Shangyang County. The villagers have been here for eight hundred years."
Xu Sanyan looked surprised, "Eight hundred years?"
This small mountain village has only a hundred households, at most six or seven hundred people, and it has been passed down safely for so many years?
The old man nodded, "This old man is forty-two years old. He has lived here for most of his life. Two years ago, everything was normal. The weather here is good every year. All natural and man-made disasters are avoided here. This is a rare thing. Treasure land.”
Xu Sanyan's expression moved slightly, forty-two?
Judging from his appearance, this old man must be sixty or seventy years old. Even though he looks old, is he too old?
"Young hero, do you know why this place is called "Coffin Keeper Village"?" The old man said with a little trick.
Xu Sanyan guessed literally, "Could it be that... you are here to protect someone's coffin?"
The old man nodded, "Yes, it is said that more than 800 years ago, the only daughter of the first emperor of Daliang, "Emperor Wu", died young. This daughter was quite popular with Emperor Wu, so she was extremely sad and difficult to accept it."
The old man looked at the sunset on the horizon and said with a sad expression, "At this moment, an immortal master accidentally heard the news and claimed that he had a way to cure him. Emperor Wu was overjoyed and said that as long as he was saved, he would be regarded as his national master."
Xu Sanyan asked curiously, "No rescue?"
The old man shook his head slowly, "He was saved."
"Rescued?"
Xu Sanyan was surprised. He had already completed the foundation construction and asked himself that he had no ability to revive the dead, but the national master actually had such a method?
This is bringing the dead back to life, it is a method that reaches heaven.
Xu Sanyan then reacted, "Since I've been rescued, why..."
As he said that, he pointed to Coffin Keeper Village and asked why there was a subsequent story.
The old man smiled bitterly, "But his life was only extended for three years. Three years later, the princess died again."
Xu Sanyan understood and already had some guesses in his mind.
The old man continued, "Emperor Wu ordered the Imperial Preceptor to continue the treatment, but the Imperial Preceptor claimed that the princess's destiny had been exhausted and that there was nothing he could do to save her."
"The Emperor Wu refused to comply, so he issued an imperial order. If the imperial advisor could not save him, he would be punished for deceiving the emperor. The imperial advisor had no choice but to use the "art of borrowing life to revive the soul."
Xu Sanyan nodded slowly, and he guessed that "the art of resurrecting souls through life" might have something to do with corpse refining.
The old man said, "I don't know the specifics of this "spell of reviving soul by borrowing life". I only know it from ancient books. It seems to transfer the lives of other people to the recipient."
"It's just that this technique cannot be completed overnight. It requires selecting a geomantic treasure. The national master spent a long time and finally selected this place."
There was a trace of fear deep in the old man's eyes, "Eight hundred years have passed in a flash. Emperor Wu has long been dead, and the Imperial Master has disappeared. But two years ago... the princess was alive..."
Xu Sanyan was startled and was surprised, "Alive? Is he really alive, or has he become a zombie? Is his body stiff? Is his face fresh? Can he speak?"
These are the key to distinguishing people from zombies. Zombies generally have stiff limbs, rigid faces, mute speech, and pale faces.
The old man looked incomprehensible and said, "I don't know anything else, but I know...she can talk!"
Xu Sanyan's heart trembled, and he quickly asked, "Didn't the Liang Dynasty send anyone here?"
The old man answered one by one, "The imperial court sent people to investigate. It is said that an immortal master came with him, but..."
"how?"
The old man shook his head, "I don't know. There was no news after that. The court didn't ask any questions. The people who came to investigate also came back. It's just that there are a large number of zombies wandering around the village every night. They don't attack the village anymore. There was no trace of it.”
"Then why don't you leave during the day?" Xu Sanyan asked.
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "We can't get out. The princess won't let us leave. She doesn't know how to monitor us. If we go outside ten miles from the village, we will die."
This was the first time that Xu Sanyan heard that someone could bring the dead back to life, and he could actually speak!
Being able to talk proves that she is not just a zombie, but may have undergone some kind of mutation.
Xu Sanyan lowered his head and asked, "Where is that princess buried?"
"It's in this mountain." The old man pointed to the forest that Xu Sanyan walked through when he came.
Xu Sanyan turned around, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked carefully. After looking for a long time, he found nothing unusual.
The old man looked up at the sky, "Young man, it's getting dark. Let's go into the village as soon as possible. I'll arrange a place for you to stay. It just so happens that a few houses were vacant a few days ago. You can stay here without worry. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."
The old man seemed to have determined that Xu Sanyan could not go out and would become a new member of the village.
Xu Sanyan thought about it and did not refuse, "Thank you for your help, old man."
"You're welcome."
The old man led everyone back to the village, and the villagers went home and closed the doors and windows.
The old man pointed to a thatched cottage in the corner of the village, "Young man, you can live here in the future. Remember not to go out at night. Don't pay attention to any noise outside the house. Although zombies will not actively attack houses, they will be excited if they see living people."
Xu Sanyan nodded, "Don't worry, old man."
The old man nodded and left.
Xu Sanyan looked at the old man's back and squinted his eyes. He always felt that this old thing was hiding something. He would investigate tonight to see what was going on with the zombie and ask him tomorrow.
Xu Sanyan entered the house and took a look. The house was very simple, with only a stove, a bed, a set of tables and chairs, and some sundries.
Xu Sanyan sat on the bed and waited for the night.
The evil demon stood in the corner motionless, revealing a pale face under the cloak.
This face was exactly the appearance of the Emperor of Qi.
Because the head of the "Life Coffin Technique" needs an official aura, who can have an official aura as great as the emperor, so he is naturally the first choice.
From then on, the two accompanied each other day and night, and Xu Sanyan would take him wherever he went.
Speaking of which, their family was also miserable. After marrying Xu Sanyan, the daughter was sucked of her essence and blood by her biological father and died. After Xu Sanyan got tired of playing with her mother, she was abandoned like a shoe, and finally the father was killed and refined into a puppet.
But after counting it up, Xu Sanyan could not be blamed. Everything was the Emperor of Qi's own fault.
What did Xu Sanyan do wrong?
He was not wrong!
