Chapter three hundred and seventeen ten orders to kill
Uncle Jiu and the others didn't know exactly what happened that year, but their genealogy clearly recorded that the imperial court issued ten consecutive imperial edicts and ordered the execution of the monk Dan Chi.
South
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, wars continued in the Central Plains and people suffered from constant famines. In order to resist the invasion of the Mongolian army, the court urgently needed military supplies and food. At this time, a monk appeared who volunteered to pay tribute to the court in large amounts of gold. This monk was the one who escaped from the underworld. The monk who came out——Dan Chi.
At that time, the court was in urgent need of money. In order to raise military rations, the emperor ceremoniously welcomed Monk Danchi, accepted his treasures, and wrote a book and biography praising his morality. At that time, Danchi transported countless gold and silver treasures to Beijing, and gold and silver were everywhere. , became famous for a while and no one knew about it.
But the good times didn't last long, and soon someone discovered that this wealthy and foolish monk was becoming less and less like a human being. He had lost his humanity, was extremely ferocious, and was bloodthirsty. In the end, he even ate humans.
The emperor was furious. Only then did he know the origin of Danchi's treasure. He angrily denounced Danchi as a monster monk and ordered him to be arrested and brought to justice. After hearing the news, Danchi left Kyoto with the treasure overnight and returned to his hometown in Fuzhou. He transported the treasure at night. Only then did people discover that there were some horrifying-looking goblins accompanying Danchi.
After the monk Danchi returned to his hometown, he used Fengdou Mountain as a barrier and ceded the land as his king. His nature was hard to change, so he massacred human beings. Except for Guakeng Village, where he was born, no one within hundreds of miles was spared, and the town of Chongshan The original inhabitants on the island were actually slaughtered and eaten by him. At this time, the number of goblins around Danchi, for some unknown reason, increased rapidly, and there were more and more of them.
During that time, the Southern Song Dynasty court summoned all the martial arts masters and strangers in the world to gather in Chongshan Town. In anger, the emperor issued ten imperial edicts in a row, canonizing these people, and promised to kill the idiots. , reward them with all the treasures of the underworld.
And these Jianghu people who led the edict are the ancestors of the current people in Chongshan Town.
Later, when the Mongols invaded, the Southern Song Dynasty was unable to resist and eventually perished. However, before his death, the emperor still secretly ordered these people in the world to guard this place to the death. They could not leave until the evil ghost Dan Chi was killed, and he could not be allowed to cause trouble again. world.
In the imperial edict at that time, all the best families among these people were canonized with official titles. The Zheng family of Jiu Shugong was canonized as a third-grade sword guard, the highest among all families. This was the later 108 surnames, headed by the Zheng family. s reason.
Most of these people who were granted the title of Jianghu possessed special skills, excellent martial arts, and were good at using Tianxuan techniques. At that time, they tightly surrounded Danchi in the limelight, but they soon discovered that it was not easy to encircle and suppress Danchi. thing.
One is that the number of goblins has grown rapidly, becoming more and more numerous. In a few years, they have formed a huge army and are extremely powerful.
The second is that there are some monsters that can actually change into human appearances, and can even pass on the memories of the changed people, pretend to kill people, and disintegrate the insides of these Jianghu people.
The internal division is the most terrifying. These Jianghu people began to no longer trust each other. Many people died unexpectedly for no apparent reason. The person who raised a knife against him every night was probably his brother. So, things started to happen between these Jianghu people. A very serious contradiction.
As time went by, the number of goblins became even more alarming. These Jianghu people were no longer able to go to the mountains to encircle and suppress Danchi, so they had no choice but to give up their mission, and most of them left here.
But those families that had been canonized by the imperial court stayed in this heavy mountain town. They settled down and made a rule. From now on, all major issues must be decided by the whole clan together. No one can enter the mountain without permission. This way
It can effectively prevent stupid people from dividing them. This rule has been carried out for hundreds of years. The people in Zhongshan Town have long been accustomed to this kind of life. Although they have special skills, they have pretended to be civilians for generations and lived here in an extremely low-key manner.
, guarding this secret.
When Fat Wei heard this, he was very puzzled, "If these monsters can become everyone, then why didn't he just become the emperor? Wouldn't everything be solved like this?"
"This is impossible," Uncle Jiu shook his head and said to Fat Wei, "These monsters also have their weaknesses. Their change time is limited, and they will return to their original state in about an hour. Moreover, only a few monsters can change.
No other goblins can.
Like an idiot, he can only pretend to be human by wearing human skin. When we distinguished these monsters, we found that they could only inherit part of the person's memory, but they could not distinguish things that the person did not know.
It can be added but not subtracted, and when the time comes, the prototype will appear immediately."
"It turns out that this is the case," Chen Zhi nodded and said, and couldn't help but admire in his heart: "It turns out that in this land of China, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers everywhere!".
The first aid medicine brought by the town people was very effective. Chen Zhi and Pang Wei's wounds quickly stopped bleeding. In the following time, everyone gathered together to study the escape plan and distributed the food they brought to Chen Zhi and others.
eat.
These townspeople brought a lot of cooked meat and rice dumplings, and Zheng Da also brought spirits. These are what Chen Zhi and Fat Wei need most right now. Everyone drank and ate in the cave, studying the battle plan, and suddenly
It became lively. It was the first time for those children to see so many people. They were so excited that they completely forgot that they were in danger and started running around chattering. After being frightened just now, Yazai kept running.
He was frothing at the mouth, and now he fell asleep quietly, with Shi Dandan staying by his side.
After Jiu Shugong, Chen Zhi and other patriarchs studied multiple plans together, they still could not come up with a good method. They knew that even though there were many experts in the town, compared with the huge number of goblins, there was still a huge disparity. If
If you have to face a head-on collision, your chances of winning are slim.
Now the only exit is blocked. If you want to dig the hole, you must pass through the river. Then the conflict with the goblins is inevitable. It seems that they will not be able to get out without dealing with those monsters this time.
"If that doesn't work, let's just rush in!" Zheng Da suggested to everyone, "When all these goblins gather in the tower, I will use our Zheng family's fire skills to burn the ancient tower, and then we will take advantage of the situation.
run".
"No, no," the young patriarch of the Jin family immediately objected, "If you burn that ancient tower, the goblins below will come out together. What will we do then? We can't deal with so many goblins at the same time."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Zheng Da helplessly opened his hands to the head of the Jin family. The other heads of the clan also talked about it, but to no avail.
But Zheng Da's words suddenly reminded Chen Zhi. He looked at his coat that was spattered with goblin black blood. He recalled in his mind how those goblins were afraid of fire, and then he took off his coat and smelled it.
smell.
"Look, what do these black bloods look like?" Chen Zhi showed everyone the black blood on his coat. Zheng Da took the clothes, looked at them, put them to his nose and smelled them, and said in surprise.
