Chapter 147 Tragedy (Please vote for me and subscribe)
Zheng Xiu finally understood.
Why does the cotton slough appear here? Why is there no dark tent formed here, wrapped in ghosts?
The conditions for the formation of ghosts are obvious: dead people. A certain number of dead people will make this place extremely close to the eternal darkness, forming the interface between the eternal world and the eternal darkness, which is called ghosts.
When a large number of human souls with "direction" move towards Chang An in a short period of time, the barrier between the two realms will be opened and the entrance to Chang An will be opened.
Although there are many dead people in the sky burial forest, the area is remote and most of the sky burials here are locals, so it cannot form a certain scale.
Of course there are no ghosts anymore.
But one person dies from time to time, and a small amount of human souls opens up "small passages" that are almost negligible.
These small passages are as thin as pinholes. Zheng Xiu can't even feel the odor. Normally, they will not have any impact on the world.
But there is a kind of insect called "cotton slough" secretly. Its silk can pass through these "needle eye channels". Through these small channels, the cotton slough can absorb human nutrients here to thrive and grow.
Various clues gathered in Zheng Xiu's mind, and he gradually cleared up his thoughts.
Zheng Xiu's eyes fell on the hanging cocoon again.
Zheng Xiu's heart sank.
Zheng Xiu cut through most of the forest with one stroke.
Ruchen's bright smile froze on his face.
This is a new skill he unintentionally unlocked - sleep walking.
When someone reminded him, the people suddenly woke up and found a new way to vent their anger, so they frantically threw many hard objects at the tough man.
Zheng Xiu's face was as dark as water, he pushed away the crowd and stepped forward to check.
The people gathered in a circle with complicated expressions.
Closing his eyes and mourning for a few seconds for the treasure king Cangyun who passed away twenty years ago, Zheng Xiu thought silently in his heart.
The stunned Ruchen asked stupidly.
"I see."
Ruchen was a little scared.
The only thing he didn't understand was why this cotton slough appeared once every hundred years, and why, just twenty years after its last appearance, it had another chance to return to the ordinary world.
"It's just a monster."
Ruchen saw Zheng Xiu swinging his knife into the air and vaguely understood something.
"What's going on? Didn't we solve the problem of cotton sloughing?" Ruchen panicked, with a gloomy cloud ahead like a waterfall. Listening to the cries of the people, Ruchen pulled Zheng Xiu's sleeves and asked with a sad face at a loss.
All pregnant women die in the same way.
After cutting off all the cotton threads, the cotton slough was already dying. Zheng Xiu's figure stepped forward, and among the Eighteen Coiling Dragon Slashes, he only needed to use one sword move. After the transformation, he passed over the cocoon.
The streets were still empty. Eight corpses were neatly placed in the open space where the "purification ceremony" had been held.
Ruchen felt as if he had done a good deed and was in a happy mood.
Ruchen: "Are we settled now?"
He sat cross-legged on the ground, clasped his hands, and remained silent.
"murderer!"
"Yeah, there's something."
It's like begging for mercy.
"Get out of Mirror Pond!"
"Son of a bitch!"
The two walked back happily.
"Outsiders get out of Jingtang!"
The dead person was emboldened, and the crowd surrounding the corpse in the open space became more and more emotional.
Zheng Xiu had already turned around, Duan Yue was lying in front of him, inch by inch, he was slowly sheathing it.
Anger, fear, blame, sadness.
At this time, Zheng Xiu remembered the "purification ceremony" in Jingtang Town. During the purification ceremony, pregnant women and human velvet were burned to death. According to local customs, they would also transport the corpses here to hold a "sky burial". And this is exactly what happened. This makes these tiny "needle eye channels" more stable, which actually encourages cotton shedding.
The monk is an honest man and easy to bully. But the tough guy is not easy to bully. Look at him, he is so fierce that he can even kill his own people.
All the silk threads from the cotton slough were cut off, and the small passage leading to the constant darkness was closed at the same time.
All of Zheng Xiu's moves were born out of the "Eighteen Coiling Dragon Slashes" under the "variables" brought by [Surprise Cage]. Zheng Xiu started with Treasure King, and he is converting Treasure King's own "Coiling Dragon Ten Slashes". "Eight Cuts" has evolved into a move that is truly his own.
"Super speed."
"Broken Moon."
Someone was brave and threw a pottery bowl at the strong man.
Tsk tsk tsk!
The sound of being sheathed and the sound of the cocoon exploding sounded at the same time.
Ruchen suddenly let out a strange cry: "You asked for it yourself. I have never heard of such a ridiculous request! Then kill them all! Kill them all!"
The curses in the crowd became even louder.
The situation before him was beyond Ruchen's expectation, and he tried his best to explain to the people in Jingtang Town.
When Ruchen fell to the ground, his face was smashed down, and the floor cracked, creating a "face pit."
They were suddenly awakened as if they had been doused with ice water.
The moon-breaking sword disappeared into smoke.
"Fart!" A man with red eyes and bloodshot eyes pointed at Zheng Xiu in the center: "He killed my mother-in-law!"
Everyone looked at the macho man with such complicated eyes.
"Yes, yes, if you have the ability, do it!"
Zheng Xiu, who was dozing off in a daze, suddenly opened his eyes.
The facial features attached to the wall of the cocoon actually show some fluctuations in human nature.
Boom!
Zheng Xiu was faster than Ru Chen and punched Ru Chen on the back of the head.
The sound was shocking.
Zheng Xiu raised his eyebrows, flicked his wrist, and with a crisp sound of bones, a long black knife appeared in his hand.
After saying that, Ruchen's figure rushed forward like lightning.
The corpse was covered with white cloth. Judging from the swells on the chest and abdomen, it seemed to be a pregnant woman from Jingtang Town.
Return to Jingtang Town.
Ruchen stood aside obediently and listened to Zheng Xiu's words, "Don't come here." He then made a few complicated gestures out of curiosity, not knowing what he wanted to express. He asked, "Brother Zheng, is there something in front of you?"
Zheng Xiu looked back and saw the mess in the forest. Then he turned on [Spiritual Vision] again. The "spores" in the sky quickly withered, lost their luster, fell in the forest, and turned into dry ash and dissipated.
Ruchen became anxious, blushed and spat back: "You are the farts! Aren't you going to burn them alive too! How come we are the ones who killed them? Farts, farts, farts, farts! You are the farts!"
Zheng Xiu lifted up the white cloth on one of the corpses and saw that the pregnant woman's eyes were bulging and the mold on her skin had peeled off into fine flakes. She had obviously been dead for a long time.
Waves of wailing and crying came from the town.
Zheng Xiu knew that there was a ghost on Ruchen's head and it was very strong, so he used 50% of the force in this punch. So much so that the sound Zheng Xiu made when he hit Ruchen's head was like hitting a copper bell, deafening.
"Brother Zheng, do you think we will be beaten if we go back to town?"
With a bang, the pottery bowl hit the tough man's head. The pottery bowl shattered, but the tough man's head was intact.
Click.
Every time one was cut off, the black shadow in the cocoon twitched, and gradually the worms in the cocoon became weaker and weaker.
"Stop! It's none of our business! We're here to save people! It's none of our business!"
The straight blade was like a thin line, gently sliding over the cocoon.
Thank you, Treasure King, Cangyun!
Ruchen heard the sound and opened his eyes, staring dumbfoundedly at the trees behind the clearing that were broken at the same height, and the fractures were as smooth as mirrors.
It looked like he was crying.
"Still want to kill people? If you have the ability to kill us all!"
Zheng Xiu walked for a while with his eyes closed and took a short nap while walking.
"Asshole!"
The people who were pushed away were filled with grief and anger, and were about to curse. When they looked up, they saw the fierce man who had punched and kicked him in the town not long ago. They were so frightened that they shrank and fell silent.
Ruchen rolled his eyes and fell face to the ground.
The angry people were suddenly speechless and took a breath of cold air.
Zheng Xiu nodded after confirming: "It should be solved, but there is one more thing, which is to warn them not to hold any more heavenly funerals in the near future, otherwise there is a possibility that the entrance to Chang'an will be opened. Or... change another place."
You destroyed other people’s sky burial forests!
"No way."
When Zheng Xiu looked at the eight corpses and remained silent, Ruchen stepped forward and explained loudly: "Brother Zheng took care of Mianshe for you, Mianshe is dead!"
When Ruchen heard this, a bright smile appeared on his face.
Zheng Xiu swung his knife and cut off the cotton threads one by one.
"If he hadn't intervened and used the purification ritual, they wouldn't have died so miserably!"
Ruchen's face became more and more distorted, and the veins on his forehead were exposed. Suddenly, Ruchen's five fingers hooked into claws and made a clicking sound. His pupils suddenly shrank like a beast, and he raised his five claws and scolded one of them. The cruelest man - his wife was lying not far away from Ruchen.
Zheng Xiu's tone was not too sure either.
After the macho man rang the bell, the crowd surrounding the macho man and the monk fell into dead silence, and they remained in a stalemate for a long time.
At this time.
There was another commotion on another street. A man holding a sickle ran towards this side angrily, shouting as he ran.
"Everyone, come here quickly! The people from the Cuihua family are still alive! The people from the Cuihua family are still alive!"
