Chapter 49 Surrounding [weird]
"Chaotianhu who was buried for King Yili? This barbaric and bloody system has really continued?"
In the history of Wang Yuan's previous life, the phenomenon of human sacrifice has gradually disappeared since the Han Dynasty, but it has persisted for a long time in this mysterious world.
This dynasty is no exception. Starting from Taizu, the Dayan royal family also listed the system of human sacrifice as an ancestral system.
Mainly the most noble figures in the dynasty such as emperors and princes, the candidates for burial are mainly the concubines, the close servants, and even the subordinates who were alive.
Usually, the imperial court will reward and compensate those who were buried, grant them posthumous titles, and also give their relatives official positions and titles, and give them high-ranking officials and generous salaries to show their preferential care.
"Those who are honest and filial will be given thirty taels of silver and a piece of satin. Those who are chaste and martyr will be given sheep, wine, paper, write articles in the inner court, and send officials to offer sacrifices."
These people who were buried were called "Chaotianhu".
It is also very simple to identify the identity of "Chaotamado".
Unlike people who have died of a long life, who usually wear shrouds and have a simple burial appearance, in order to continue to serve their master, those who have died usually wear rich clothes and wear "soul-locking buttons" made of cinnabar and red rope on their wrists or ankles.
From this, it can be inferred that this evil object that has turned into a "weird" must be a "Chaotamado" who died tragically and was full of resentment.
Wang Yuan knew that their original plan was to lay mahogany stakes in the ground and nail through the earth vein nodes under the tomb owner's body and coffin in each of the subordinate mausoleums.
The protective wings of [Owl God's Tomb] were broken, preventing it from taking off and severely damaging its vitality.
Now there is obviously an accident. This "Chaotianhu" that was buried for the prince, after being buried underground for two hundred years, turned into the same [strange].
"This is probably the first Chaotianhu that has been dug out since the Great Yan Dynasty, right?"
Wang Yuan did not reveal his figure immediately, licked the corners of his lips, and quietly walked around behind Pailing.
At this time.
Lang Qi, who was riding on the wild wolf and also hiding aside, stared at the official robe on the [Weird] for a long time, and silently calculated:
"Although King Yili is unworthy, the Heavenly Family values dignity and rules the most.
If my inference is correct, after the buried royal official 'Zheng Cai' turned into [Weird], the pattern of killing should be 'debt collection'.
The tradition of "Elder Pavilion" has always been spread near Beimang Mountain, and the members of each clan owe a blood debt to the elders of the same clan.
Those rare old people who died in the nursing home will follow their bloodline and take revenge on their relatives after they revive.
Therefore, after they climb out of the tomb, they will only focus on their respective family members, and as long as the uninvolved people do not disturb them, they will be fine."
As soon as he said this, because of the strange phenomenon, some bandits who were unable to do their job immediately moved further away from the guardians of Wang's mausoleum.
He turned around and surrounded Tao Xianniang, who was not attacked at all, fearing that the beauty would even touch her in the slightest.
Seeing this scene, Wang Yunhu's face couldn't help but look even more ugly.
This is the nature of bandits.
If they hadn't been bewitched by Peach Fairy's [Human Face Peach Fairy Technique] and managed to become one, they would have been nothing but a mob.
But he really couldn't lose face, so he asked Tao Xianniang for help for such a trivial matter.
He simply gathered all the tomb guards around him and roared:
"Children of the Wang family, form a formation! Battle formation: White Tiger's Seven Kills!"
Suddenly.
As fellow practitioner [White Tiger Art of War] and the tomb-guards moved, the military formation took shape, and military aura rose faintly above them, like dragons and tigers, with a murderous aura.
"The military spirit is red at the front and dark at the back. This is the spirit of a brave general."
Lang Qi, the "Arrogant Military Advisor" who is good at looking for energy, changed his expression slightly.
At the same time, Wang Yunhu, the only non-human [Taoist soldier], cut his finger on the blade, and drew a dazzling blood mark between his eyebrows with the blood from his fingertip, like a sword blade.
He raised the tiger head knife in his hand high, and a red light invisible to the naked eye shot out, sweeping across all the tomb defenders in the battle formation.
In an instant, their bodies all glowed with a faint red light, and their eyes seemed to be burning with flames!
[White Tiger Art of War] After completing the second level, one of the three innate magical powers that can be awakened - [Imperial Tiger Talisman].
Encourage, gain, and gather people, this is also one of the most suitable magical powers for a commander.
All the mausoleum guardians shouted in unison: "Fire! Fire! Fire!"
tread!
Facing the oncoming tide of corpses, they took a step forward and waved their swords in unison.
The [Improvement of Killing Ghost Seal] on the blade was blazing brightly, and those ferocious living corpses were obviously struck by the blade, but they were like being struck by a blazing heavy hammer, with the remaining bones and rotten flesh exploding.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
He stepped forward to pursue him, and after three strikes, all the living corpses gathered in front of the tomb were killed.
It is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as plundering as the fire, as motionless as the mountain, as unpredictable as the clouds, and as moving as the thunder.
The bandits nearby looked at each other in shock.
Put away all contempt for the tomb-keepers.
"Everyone, be sure to intercept all the living corpses. The more they kill, the stronger the [Owl God's Tomb] will be. Don't let it go."
The [Yanglao Pavilion] placed nearby is not only from Daling Village, but also from other surrounding clans. At this time, the living corpses are swarming and rushing down the mountain.
"Don't worry, Chief Royal."
"You must obey your orders!"
"..."
As Wang Yunhu opened his mouth, the bandits changed their attitude and started to act subconsciously. They used their special skills and tried their best to kill the living corpses on the mountain who were preparing to go down the mountain to collect debts from their relatives and children.
Immediately, the others retreated one after another.
Wang Yunhu, Tao Xianniang, the Ma family brothers, and Fan Zhang, who had mastered magical powers and had the ability to fight [strange things], slowly walked toward the mausoleum that looked like a bag of dirt.
It's just that in their eyes, this [Weird] has no owl's head, no black feathers, and no dripping corpse oil. It's just a shriveled corpse wearing official uniform.
As they continued to get closer, the strange power suddenly enveloped everyone.
Their hearts immediately resounded with shrill and noisy thoughts, which seemed to be those of others and their own thoughts emerged one after another:
"The world is miserable, my parents gave me birth, and my parents owe me!"
"The society of resentment, the world slanders me, the world owes me!"
"I can't ask for it. My lover despises me. My lover owes me!"
"..."
This special power is completely incomprehensible to ordinary people and even new [Tao soldiers]. If any situation is an established fact, they will immediately take action to "collect debts"!
But for a group of warlocks, the effect is at a discount.
I saw that Tao Xianniang waved her hand, and there was a [talisman] made of lightning struck peach wood in her hand.
The runes are like dragons and phoenixes, but no one else can see them, but the cinnabar seal covering them has the words "Peach Fairy Lady" faintly on them.
This is a true talisman that only a [Red Seal Warlock] who has been accepted into Taoism can draw, and can borrow mana out of thin air from the sect's god who has been worshiped by his family for generations.
The [Dragon Qi Law Forbidden] on Beimang Mountain is much thinner than in the city, enough for a [Red Seal Warlock] to use 70% to 80% of his abilities.
Tao Xianniang held the talisman between her two fingers and raised it high above her head, chanting urgently:
“The sky is spirited, the earth is spirited.
The north wind is blowing, and the west wind is coming. The southern phoenix is soaring, and the eastern fire dragon is lingering. The real person holds the letter and calls you to make clouds and thunder. Go quickly to the thunder altar and rescue the bitter weeds.
Urgency is like a law! An edict!"
The curse has just fallen.
Boom——!
Although there was no lightning in front of them, a thunder exploded in everyone's ears. There seemed to be invisible objects in the air that were smashed to pieces, and everyone's bodies also became lighter.
The strange force that was like a nightmare town has been violently broken by this talisman containing the magic power of the Holy Mother of the Western King.
The murmur in my heart suddenly disappeared.
Although it is not as easy and freehand as [Ghost King's Lintan Seal], it is still based on the method and achieves the same goal.
This power of Nightmare Town is the basis for [Strange] to abide by the rules.
As long as the special power is not broken, [Weird] will kill people according to the rules. If the special power disappears, it will be the same as killing Yu-face [Weird] in Wang Yuan's ancestral hall. It all depends on their own abilities.
Therefore, when [Weird] is strong, this law is a glimmer of hope for mortals to save their lives. When [Weird] is weak, law is the last barrier to protect it.
This [Weird], whose brain has rotted away, although his IQ is not high, still has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
After realizing that the situation was not good, he immediately turned around and rushed towards the forest behind his mausoleum.
However, at this moment.
There was another thunderous explosion in everyone's ears.
"go back!"
However, Wang Yuan unknowingly reached out from behind the mausoleum and used the [Ghost King's Altar Seal] to directly ignore the power of Nightmare Town and bully its side.
Punch like a hammer!
Fierce as a cannon!
With a punch, the weak, numb-like "Chaotianhu" immediately faced the rune peach wood stake raised by the Ma family brothers.
Poof!
Enter through the chest.
Zhishu, [Yin De] plus 103, totaling 1099.
Subtract another 1000.
Chapter completed!
