Merchant of the Underworld

The man in the T-shirt said with a worried look: "We got into big trouble this time and took things we shouldn't have!"

"You let those girls take advantage of the moment and leave Fengmen Village! They are afraid of the sun, so they don't dare to come during the day, but they might be able to do so at night..."

When the man in the T-shirt said this, I felt even more confused.

But at this moment, I didn't have time to ask any more questions, because the top priority was to send these girls away first, so as not to stay and cause us trouble.

Several of them were already frightened at this time, and coupled with Jingjing's condition, it was impossible not to go to the hospital. So I gave them a few words of advice, and they left obediently.

After I put them in the car, I returned to Fengmen Village. I was still worried about Jingjing, so I asked the man in the T-shirt if Jingjing’s life was in danger?

The man in the T-shirt sighed slightly and said that everything depends on fate.

For almost the whole day, we were doing the same job, which was to reinforce the house. We nailed the doors and windows tightly.

Because the man in the T-shirt warned us repeatedly that the owner of this knife will definitely come to us tonight!

Moreover, there are two "people" on the other side. With our little ability, we are no match for them.

I believe this very much. Jingjing just accidentally ate a small fruit and turned into a half-human and half-corpse. You can imagine how powerful the things under the fruit are...

But I'm curious. We haven't had a head-to-head confrontation with each other yet. How does the man in the T-shirt know that there are two people on the other side?

The man in the T-shirt simply threw the machete to me and said, "See for yourself what words are engraved on the knife!"

I immediately picked up the machete and observed it carefully.

Although the blade of the blade had been cleaned by the man in the T-shirt, it was still covered with a thin layer of green rust, like a layer of seaweed, making it impossible to see through.

But even so, I can still feel the strong murderous aura emanating from the scimitar!

This murderous aura is possessed by the Scimitar itself. When facing it, I felt like I was facing a devil.

After a gentle massage, my fingers felt like they were being pricked by needles. I was so stimulated that I immediately retracted my hand. There seemed to be a faint green light coming from it.

On the handle of the knife, there are two prominent characters, which are very clear, and they seem to be "Meng" and "Jiao".

What does this mean? I asked the man in the T-shirt curiously.

The man in the T-shirt asked: "Have you never heard of the Peking Opera "Hongyang Cave"?"

"I have only heard of the waves in Honghu Lake." Li Mazi said anxiously: "Brother, please stop being so pretentious right now and just tell me! I've been holding back my pee for you."

The man in the T-shirt said calmly: "In ancient China, there was an idiom called: Jiao Bu Li Meng. As long as you know the allusion of Jiao Bu Li Meng, you should be able to guess the origin of this knife..."

When the man in the T-shirt reminded me, my mind suddenly felt like an electric shock.

I seem to understand what the T-shirt man is talking about.

The so-called Jiao Buli Meng refers to Meng Liang and Jiao Zan, who are two subordinates of Yang Liulang, a general of the Yang family.

The two have a very good relationship. They eat together, sleep together, and are brothers. In today's terms, they are a pair of good friends.

Later, the Yang family was stained with blood on the golden beach. Yang Laolinggong and his four sons all died for the country, leaving only Yang Liulang alive.

At that time, it was important to bury people in their hometown.

Yang Liulang then ordered Meng Liang to go to Hongyang Cave on the border of Song and Liao at all costs and carry back the bodies of the Yang family!

After Meng Liang set out, Jiao Zan was afraid that something might happen to him, so he followed him secretly.

As a result, after Meng Liang walked into Hongyang Cave, he always felt that someone was secretly following him behind him. He subconsciously thought it was a Liao soldier, and immediately slashed the opponent to death with a backhand knife.

After killing the opponent, Meng Liang heard that the screams did not seem to be in Liao language, so he pulled the opponent under the moonlight to identify them carefully.

And when I saw it like this, I was immediately dumbfounded!

Because the one he hacked to death was his good brother Jiao Zan.

Meng Liang felt extremely guilty and vowed that he would never be an only child, so he simply committed suicide on the spot.

This knife is engraved with the words "Meng" and "Jiao". If nothing else happens, it should be the knife that Meng Liang used to kill Jiao Zan before committing suicide, right?

I told the man in the T-shirt what I thought.

The man in the T-shirt nodded: "Yes, this knife is the knife that Meng Liang used to kill Jiao Zan. It's called the Hongyang Knife. The soul of Meng Liang and Jiao Zan is attached to this knife, and the two The human body is probably still wandering around Fengmen Village..."

Li Mazi took a breath: "Brother, tell me, are Meng Liang and Jiao Zan really zombies?"

The man in the T-shirt nodded: "I'm afraid that's the case. In fact, the historical descriptions of Meng Liang's suicide are very vague, because no one saw Meng Liang draw a knife and kill himself. And some unofficial histories record that Meng Liang committed suicide. Liang did not commit suicide at that time, but traveled around the mountains as a hermit seeking a way to resurrect Jiao Zan, and the final result was that both of them turned into hard-boiled guests."

"Hard guest is the ancient collective name for corpses that are stiff but not rotten!"

Li Mazi and I looked at each other and felt a chill on our backs. The two zombies were still generals when they were alive. Aren't they capable of killing us in minutes?

If you want to extract teeth from a zombie's mouth, you might as well extract them from the tiger's mouth.

I asked the man in the T-shirt tremblingly if he had any specific plans. Somewhat certain.

The man in the T-shirt said: "The plan is very simple. We dig out the Hongyang Knife from the soil. The two zombies will definitely be able to sense it and will definitely come looking for it at night! Then we will kill the dead souls attached to the knife. There will be no Without the support of the dead souls, their physical bodies will slowly die."

"Wait a minute." I asked in surprise: "Zombies, don't they have souls? Why do zombies die when their souls are destroyed? This doesn't make sense."

The man in the T-shirt said: "Everything in the world has a soul. The reason why zombies appear is just because their souls were extracted from the body and did not go to the underworld to report. The result is that the dead souls wander between the heaven and the earth, immortal, and the physical body follows them. Either death or life.”

"There are three ways to deal with zombies from the root. The first is to destroy the zombie's body! The second is to crush the zombie's soul. The third is to save it."

"However, the zombies are so ferocious, and the dead souls must be even more powerful, so transcendence is simply not feasible! And once the dead souls are combined with the physical body, the zombies will become spiritual zombies, and I'm afraid even my master may not be able to deal with them. So tonight, no matter what, we must not let the zombies get the Hongyang Knife!"

A few short words, but Li Mazi and I were frightened. We didn't expect zombies to have such great knowledge.

I carry an umbrella on my back and a Sirius whip, but I always feel that these two things are basically useless.

After a moment of silence, I went to reinforce the doors and windows.

But Li Mazi said, since this thing is so powerful, why don't we go back?

The man in the T-shirt shook his head without hesitation: "From the moment we dug out the Hongyang Dao, there was no way out! As long as we take away the Hongyang Dao, the zombies will definitely follow us. Put the Hongyang Dao here. Once the body and soul are united, I am afraid that life will be ruined."

Li Mazi sighed and said, "It's really not possible. I'll buy steel and concrete and build this place into a bunker. I don't believe that thing can break in."

It's already two or three o'clock in the afternoon, so it's definitely too late.

Li Mazi and I found everything we could and sealed the doors and windows. The man in the T-shirt took out a lot of copper coins and red ropes from his backpack, one inch at a time, and tied the copper coins on the red ropes, making a dozen of them.

Then place it in the directions of Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun and Dui.

The merchants of necrotic objects call this kind of rope 'corpse binding rope' because it can sensitively sense the corpse's energy. The man in the T-shirt tied a few more strings in the direction of "Li". He said that Hongyang Cave was in the direction of "Li" and was not far from here. Zombies are most likely to attack from the 'away' direction!

Tonight I was going to be baptized by zombies, so I was very nervous and didn’t even eat much dinner. After eating a few biscuits, I sat at the door and listened to what was going on outside.

The man in the T-shirt has been sitting next to me, gently wiping the machete with a white cloth.

The blade of the scimitar was gradually polished by him, and he could cut a deep ravine with a single scratch on the door panel.

This Hongyang knife is naturally a yin object, and it must be worth a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, the corpse bead was not found, but something like this was dug out.

If we were lucky enough to get out alive, we would definitely make a fortune. But to be honest, I am not happy at all and would rather not have this deal.

Two hours passed and it was already dark. These two hours made me truly experience the feeling of living like a year.

I peered carefully outside through a small crack in the wall. It was so dark outside that I could barely see the stars. I could see the stars but not the moon. It must have been obscured by dark clouds.

My mood seemed to be covered by dark clouds, becoming increasingly bleak.
