Many people say that the 21st century is an era of technological explosion.
But it's a pity.
Since 2010, human technology has been blocked, and no company has developed a new product that spans the century.
someone said.
Behind the inability of technology to break through is aliens.
Someone else said.
Compared with the vast universe, human beings have developed too rapidly over the past few thousand years, which is inconsistent with the development laws of the universe. The current technological stagnation is a normal phenomenon.
certainly.
It doesn't matter what you say. Apart from food, clothing, housing and transportation, what do people care about?
Xia Dynasty
Handong Province, Jiangyang City.
Dagou Town
"Stop turning."
"This used to be a town, but since the Republic of China, the people here moved away and no one knew where they went, so it became deserted."
"If you do the math, it's been over three hundred years. In addition, the place is remote and there are some crooked rumors saying that this place is evil. Why don't we just leave it alone?"
Looking like a sportswear.
Look at this, look at that, the young man who looks like he has never seen the world, the young man said again: "Brother, I am here to shoot a video, what about you, what are you here to do, are you a traveling adventurer?
"
The young man didn't answer.
Looking at the abandoned town in front of me, my eyes were filled with memories.
"What a weirdo."
The young man was carrying a bag and holding a mobile phone in his hand: "Look, brothers, this is the legendary Dagou Town. It is said that a hundred years ago, treasure hunters came here to dig for treasures and dug out three treasures under an abandoned Taoist temple.
Twelve black coffins, with all kinds of talismans on the coffins, were all on the news at the time."
While talking.
The young man took photos everywhere with his mobile phone: "Look, the Taoist temple is right in front. It's so evil here. The wind is blowing. If anyone dares to say that I'm timid and don't dare to take some exclusive photos, I won't forgive him."
"
He held up the phone and turned it around.
Young people walk into an abandoned Taoist temple.
Very disappointed.
There is nothing in the Taoist temple. Wave after wave comes and goes, and everything that can be taken has been taken away. Even the bluestone floor has been pried away a lot.
"Brother, what are you looking for?"
I saw young people groping around inside.
The young man said: "Don't think about it. It's not our turn if good things happen. Rather than spending this effort to find the treasure, why not think about where to sleep at night. I think the sun is going down soon. This place is eerie. If you don't mind,
Let’s stay together tonight, I’m thinking I’d also like to take some photos of night scenes.”
Speechless
The young man didn't answer at all.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the young man felt a chill down his back for no reason, and whispered: "Brother, don't you like talking? Don't scare me. It is said that many coffins were dug here back then and they were all buried later.
Have you heard about this?"
stop
The young man looked back and spoke for the first time: "In the Age of Dharma Ending, all dharma will be destroyed. Although I didn't see those black coffins, I think the contents inside have long since decayed."
"You can talk!" The young man suddenly became energetic: "You have been silent, which scares me so much that I feel scared. By the way, my name is Wild Wolf Three, what is your name?"
"Zhang Heng"
Zhang Heng answered while saying: "You don't have to be afraid. This place is just abandoned. There will be some cool breeze when the hot and cold air meet in the morning and evening. As for the evil gate, it is very upright here, especially this Taoist temple, which was selected according to the Bagua method."
At the highest Yang position, the soil under your feet is mixed with cinnabar."
Finished.
Zhang Heng gestured: "Grab a handful of soil and see if it's reddish-brown underneath."
"It really is!"
There is a layer of floating soil on the surface.
Further down, the color of the land is different, as if it has been dyed red by blood.
"How did you know?"
Wild Wolf Three was a little stunned: "Oh, I see, you are from nearby, have you been here before?"
"Ha ha"
Zhang Heng smiled but did not answer.
He knew it was because this was his home, and he had put the cinnabar under his feet more than three hundred years ago.
well
time flies.
The eighth year of the Republic of China, 1919 in the Western calendar, was the year when his dream began.
It is now 2300.
Three hundred and eighty-one years have passed in a flash.
certainly.
The three hundred and eighty-one years here are only real time, not a dream.
If the time spent in the dream state was included, Zhang Heng could only sigh: "Two thousand years old."
Fine.
Time is actually a very meaningless thing, especially for people like him who have time.
As for the current era.
Technology has been at a standstill for more than two hundred years, which is similar to the period of cataclysm where Ning Feng was in the starry sky universe.
"This time the true spirit came to the world to gather faith and lay a solid foundation for the masses."
"Moreover, there are one hundred and seventy sects, big and small, and each has descendants. On the one hand, it can restore the old orthodoxy, and on the other hand, it can also promote its own family."
"As for the future."
Zhang Heng sensed the level of spiritual energy that was still in a depleted state, and thought to himself: "It is certain that the ancestral world will become an immortal world. According to the assessment, within three to five days, the first wave of spiritual energy will be revived, and it will enter a weak state.
Spiritual age.
In this era, monks can come out, but due to insufficient spiritual energy, the cultivation level will not be too high, and there is a high probability that they will be stuck in the refining and gas-refining stage.
After that.
As the spiritual energy level slowly increases, the suppression of the monks by heaven and earth will also decrease.
Refining essence to transform Qi, refining Qi to transform into spirit, refining spirit to return to void, refining void to combine with Tao.
True immortals, earthly immortals, and even heavenly immortals.
The ancestral land in a perfect state will become a special Zhongqian World, with an area a hundred times, a thousand times, or even tens of thousands times larger than the current one, and allowing immortals to control the world.
At this point, our mission is completed, and the rest is for the sect to send people down to guard and protect the Taoism."
Think of this.
Zhang Heng felt happy.
Because as mentioned above, the inheritance handed down by each sect will be in an ownerless state at first.
For example, Zhang Heng got the inheritance from Wudang Mountain first, so he can learn Zhenwu Kendo, which is allowed by the rules.
certainly.
There are also things that are not allowed. For example, after he learned Zhenwu Kendo, he left Maoshan and went to Wudang Mountain, where he openly took the position of Zhenwu and molded himself into Zhenwu Dao. This is not allowed.
They can learn.
But you cannot withhold the inheritance, let alone take it for yourself.
Huh!
Thinking of taking it for yourself.
Zhang Heng thought about these ordinary people in his ancestral land again.
Interesting.
After the spiritual energy is revived, if these ordinary people come into contact with various martial arts, they may also embark on the path of spiritual practice.
By the time.
If these Taoists who descended from the world were defeated in the hands of these ordinary people who had the opportunity, wouldn't they themselves become fakes?
hey-hey.
Although this is difficult, among the more than a hundred sects and Taoist disciples who have descended from the true spirit world, the weakest ones are also the reincarnations of true immortals.
A little stronger.
Similar to Zhang Heng, Jiang Sui, Qiu Kuaishou, Zhang Jingrui, they are either Luo Tianshangxian or Tianxian, and they will not be lower.
Say it's possible.
Could it be possible that these reincarnated immortals with memories could be defeated by a group of natives from their ancestral land?
It doesn't make sense.
Although the ancestral land is full of outstanding people and spirits, once the spiritual energy is revived, some outstanding people will surely emerge and compete with reincarnated immortals like them for a moment of glory.
But these young talents can only compete with them in the middle and early stages. In the middle and late stages, unless they have the talents of Lu Zu, Chen Zu, and even the founders of various sects, the gap will only get wider and wider.
At least Zhang Heng couldn't think of it.
What would it be like for a lucky man who inherited the Maoshan inheritance to bring two zombies to trouble him in the early stages of spiritual recovery?
That's not to cause trouble for him.
It's courting death.
His ashes were scattered.
Um.
There may also be smart people who have been wandering for half their lives and never give up.
Ring ring ring
Just thinking about it.
Zhang Heng's cell phone rang.
Like everyone else, he is not in the lower world with his true body, but uses a spirit to descend.
This is also inevitable.
As soon as the spiritual energy was revived here, a group of immortals came down over there. Isn't this bullying?
The ancestral land revives.
It is not only an opportunity for them, but also an opportunity for all living beings in the ancestral land.
You've already got the starting gun, so why not let ordinary people run with you? There's no need to use the starting gun to shoot the people running with you to death one by one.
"Hello"
It’s been more than a month since the true spirit descended into the world.
Zhang Heng, who received the memory of his predecessor, is also familiar with his current identity.
First is the name.
His name is still Zhang Heng, but his life experience is a bit strange.
how to say.
The predecessor was an orphan who was adopted from an orphanage, and the person who adopted the predecessor was Zhuang Qiang, a newly emerging real estate tycoon in Jiangyang City in the past thirty years and the chairman of Zhuang Construction Group.
And he.
On the surface, he is Zhuang Qiang's adopted son.
In fact, he had thirteen adopted sons like Zhuang Qiang, collectively known as the Zhuang family's Thirteen Taibao.
None of them have the surname Zhuang, and they are not the heirs recognized by the Zhuang family. They are a group of family thugs who were taken out of the orphanage by Zhuang Qiang since childhood and carefully trained.
certainly.
It's okay to call him a killer, at least in Zhang Heng's memory, his predecessor had done several dirty jobs for the Zhuang Group.
And Zhuang's Construction Group.
On the surface, it is the largest private real estate development group in Jiangyang City. In fact, it is involved in lending, smuggling, casinos, and nightclubs behind the scenes. It is so powerful that it has a presence in the entire Handong Province.
"it's me."
On the other end of the connected phone, a thick and majestic middle-aged voice came: "Lao Ba, I heard Lao Twelve say that you left a witness to the last incident?"
"Then what?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Why don't you clean it up?" The middle-aged man sighed: "Lao Ba, you have helped the company a lot over the years. I understand that you want to retire and live a normal life, but didn't we agree?
Help me deal with it for a while, now the investigation team is coming from above, I can't pass the test, can you pass the test?"
silence.
Zhang Heng said: "That's just a six-year-old child. It's normal for companies to have competition. If you think killing one person can end the competition faster and maximize the company's interests, I won't object.
But you have to understand that I am not a murderer, and I don’t take pleasure in killing people. I will not kill someone just because I was seen by a six-year-old kid riding a bicycle when I went out. It’s just that
A means, not an end, let alone a need.”
Think about it.
The middle-aged man didn't speak for a while, and then he said in a loud voice: "The police want evidence, but we people only want targets. The judge will not accept the testimony of a six-year-old child, but Qianglong Construction Group only needs
The child said ten words: Uncle, this is the person in the photo."
The middle-aged man said again: "Lao Ba, among these adopted sons, I have always been the most optimistic about you. I think with your intelligence, it is not difficult to guess the meaning of this sentence."
Hold the phone.
Zhang Heng had a smile on his face: "Thank you, Chairman, for your concern. I will remember to lock the door before going to bed at night."
Finished.
Zhang Heng said again: "Including Lao You from the Qianglong Group, I have killed six people for you over the years. I also know that you took me out of the orphanage and fed me and clothed me over the years.
Give me the best education and house.
But you have to understand, I am not the fourth child, I have no interest in the Zhuang Group, and I don’t want to climb up within the group.
Lao You is the last one, there is no next one. If you miss me in the future, ask me to have tea with you. In addition, I have participated in the supervision team's affairs in the past few years, and they have done it neatly.
But for your past or other matters that I have not participated in, you have to ask for your own blessings.
By the way, what the fourth child said privately is correct. You are also running towards your sixties this year. As for Susu, you are not young anymore this year. From what she said, you want to go to the police academy. You are just a daughter. Do you think so?
I have thought about having a showdown with her, or finding myself an heir, retreating, and living a life that ordinary people should have."
Huhu
The phone call that day was the sound of heavy breathing.
After a long time, a voice as cold as ice and snow came: "What do you want to express, threaten me?"
"No."
Zhang Heng's attitude remained unchanged: "I just care about you. I don't know anything about the group's affairs. You have protected her so well. She really thinks that if she does business seriously, she can be well-known in the province and number one in Yangjiang."
I don’t want your father and daughter to become enemies. If Su Su is admitted to the police academy and sent to Yangjiang to investigate your matter, will you be willing to kill her?"
Dududu
There was a busy tone on the other end of the phone.
obviously.
A tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds, so there are many things that you have no choice at all.
certainly.
It’s a good choice.
It’s okay not to choose.
It has nothing to do with Zhang Heng, because the recovery of spiritual energy is imminent. Although this is only a preliminary recovery, due to the limitations of heaven and earth, the monks can only cultivate to refine the energy.
Don't forget it.
Zhang Heng started his career in the art of controlling ghosts.
Ten days later.
A villa located halfway up the mountain.
“What a wonderful feeling!”
Zhang Heng was dressed in a black robe, leaning on his sword and sitting down, surrounded by talismans and flags, and whispered: "Aura, a long-lost aura."
"call!"
Grab a handful of yellow paper and throw it into the sky.
Yellow paper flew down and landed on the ground, flags, and a body covered by a white sheet.
Ring bell
Just as Zhang Heng was about to stand up with his wooden sword, the phone on the table rang again.
"Um?"
"Brother Bage, I am Twelve. Brother Ninth is missing. I suspect that the Qianglong Group did it."
"knew."
Zhang Heng hung up the phone without saying anything.
After hanging up.
Looking at the body covered with white cloth on the ground, Zhang Heng said in a deep voice: "Old Jiu, don't blame Brother Bago for being cruel. You are the most cruel person among our group of people, and you should never, never should, never be Bai Hu."
The fate of life.
This is a bad fate. The white tiger is the master of soldiers and the master of great evil. You are destined to be a bandit in prosperous times and a general in troubled times.
You said you have a fate like yours, and you are cruel both as a human and as a ghost. How can I endure it?
And your answer was too good. I asked you if you were willing to help Bage, and you said yes, and you would go through all kinds of dangers, so I couldn't bear to refuse you."
Ding!
A wooden sword was nailed to the incense burner enshrined in front of the corpse.
Zhang Heng lifted up the white cloth, revealing Lao Jiulai with eyes wide open and a look of disbelief on his face.
The two brothers looked at each other for a moment.
Zhang Heng took off the fly whisk hanging on the wall.
Whisk lightly.
Shake it once and dip it into the crow's blood in the copper basin.
soon.
Lao Jiu's body was covered with crow blood.
You know, crows are extremely yin things, and their blood is also very yin-y.
As all this.
Zhang Heng began to circle the corpse and recite a mantra.
Wow!
inside the room.
All windows are boarded up.
A lamp with lotus corpse oil hanging on the roof.
For a while.
I don't know where the wind came from in the room, but it made the lotus lanterns sway and the paper charms fly around.
"No, in this age of weak spirits, it's still not fierce enough."
Zhang Heng flew up.
Standing directly on Lao Jiu's body, he bit his middle finger and pointed downwards: "Ge Zao bless those who are ready to fight."
The word "fight" was written on the corpse's forehead.
Zhang Heng turned over again, landed under the morgue and bit the tip of his tongue: "Pfft"
Blood mist sprayed on Lao Jiu's face.
Done all this.
Zhang Heng pinched the spell with his left and right hands, put his fingers on Lao Jiu's temple, and whispered: "Secret blessings, the stars in the South Dipper will shine."
Done.
Zhang Heng pinched two pieces of yellow paper in his hand, and with his toes not leaving the ground, he rowed with his hands, swinging the talisman around the corpse over and over again.
"The sky is clear and the earth is bright, and the gods protect me."
"The sky is clear and the earth is bright, and God protects me."
"The sky is clear and the earth is bright, protect my soul."
"The sky is clear and the earth is bright, protect my divine body"
Repeated over and over again, as if telling the dead.
This is also true.
As the lights in the room flickered up and down, if you looked closely, you could see a shadow looming in the room.
"Assisting righteousness and eliminating evil, the path of ghosts will also be cleared."
"Qing Qing Ming Ming, listen to my orders."
Zhang Heng grabbed a handful of incense ash and sprinkled it on Lao Jiu's face. Then he grabbed his face again and pulled him back violently: "Hu Jiusong, you still don't obey the order?"
Whoosh!
Zhang Heng grabbed it and pulled out a soul directly from the corpse.
That soul is confused.
After a while, he seemed to have returned to his senses, and roared at Zhang Heng: "Old man, you"
"ah!"
I wanted to reach out and pinch Zhang Heng's neck.
But the next second.
Gui Laojiu fell to the ground and twitched all over like a person who had been electrocuted.
"Respect, respect"
Ghost Laojiu was in agony and begged: "Honor the Dharma Lord!"
"Don't even think about resisting."
Zhang Heng's face was expressionless, his cheeks looming under the dim light: "We are brothers, I don't want you to feel too uncomfortable."
Finished.
Zhang Heng said in a faint tone again: "Old Jiu, don't blame Brother Ba for being cruel. The girl you fucked last year because her father owed a loan, huh, she was only thirteen years old."
Take a look at Gui Jiu's face.
Zhang Heng said in a kind tone: "Look, sin is coming, you have to accept your fate."
