The Son of Heaven in my memory came from the battlefield and felt the death of the living and the despair of the dead, so he made a great wish to quell this war that spanned thousands of years.
It's just that the living and the dead are two opposing ethnic groups. How can it be so simple to quell the war between the two sides?
What I want to follow is the old path of Tianzi, to understand war from war, to grow myself in war, and then I can become as strong as Tianzi back then.
I also rose up in troubled times, and I think I am no worse than him!
It was very difficult for Zhang Wuren to convince Deputy Commander Di Ming. At first, Deputy Commander Di Ming did not agree with me going to the battlefield at all. He joked and tried his best to save me, even though countless exorcists died.
Now I'm going to risk my life on the battlefield again. Didn't the exorcist who died at the hands of the ancestor of corpses die in vain?
But after Zhang Wuren later talked about the four things about Tianzi, Deputy Commander Di Ming came to some realization and agreed to arrange a place for me in the patrol team.
It's just that because my identity needs to be kept secret, except for a few people, no one knows that I am actually the person who the ancestor of the corpse tried every possible means to kill but failed to kill.
The patrol team assigned to me by Deputy Commander Di Ming was in the Garze Prefecture area, located in the vast uninhabited land between Litang and Batang. The average altitude here is about four thousand meters, the environment is harsh, and the oxygen is thin, which is not suitable for some beginners.
It is really unbearable for people who go to the plateau.
However, most of the exorcists are extremely physically strong, and some difficulties in the environment will not pose any threat to us at all.
On the mountain road more than fifty kilometers south of National Highway 318, there are more than thirty evil spirits from the northern region.
There are six regions in the Ten Thousand Demons Pit, namely, east, west, south, north, and up and down. The upper and lower regions are the direct lineage of the ancestor of the corpse, while the four regions in the east, west, south, and north are all evil spirits native to the Ten Thousand Demons Pit.
Among them, the most numerous corpses in the Northern Territory are corpses.
Before the negotiation collapsed, most of the 100,000 dead people in the Ten Thousand Demon Pit were actually fleeing to the mainland. However, after the war began, in order to prevent panic among the people and cause irreparable casualties, Deputy Commander Di Ming organized a powerful counterattack.
That counterattack was actually a time lag. While the Corpse Ancestor was also returning to heal his wounds, a large number of private exorcists and field team members from the Special Case Division launched a massive extermination operation.
This extermination operation involved tens of thousands of exorcists and more than 20 exorcism schools. Everyone worked together to expel the dead from the mainland and into the plateau of Sichuan while the ancestor of the corpse was recovering from his injuries.
, sparsely populated areas in Qinghai and Yunnan.
Among them, there were more than 30 dead people in Coffin Mountain to the south of Litang County. The patrol team I was in was monitoring the movements of these more than 30 dead people, not allowing them to leave Coffin Mountain, and waiting for an opportunity to clear this group.
dead.
It is worth mentioning that there are only five people in the patrol team I am in. In addition to me, there is also a field member of the Special Case Division who leads the team. He is cold and unsmiling all day long.
His name is Feng Qingshan, and he is also the captain of our patrol group.
Feng Qingshan is equipped with the standard round shield saber of the field team and drives a modified black Wrangler. He rarely talks on weekdays and will only talk to us when giving orders.
In fact, most of the field teams of the Special Case Division have this kind of personality. The initial cold and silent image of Deputy Commander Di Ming simply penetrated into everyone's hearts.
So much so that even now, the members of the field team are subconsciously imitating the coldness and silence of Deputy Commander Di Ming.
Among the other three people, one is an old man who always wears a shabby leather jacket and likes to smoke. It is said that he is from Chongqing. It is unknown what is in his pot bag, and it seems that it will never go out.
The sparks that pop up occasionally seem to carry a wisp of yin energy.
The other two people were both wearing Taoist robes and carrying long swords, but they were exorcist disciples from Qingcheng Mountain. Like the captain Feng Qingshan, they were both not good at words. Since we got along, the two of them had never spoken more than Ten sentences.
I don't even know their names.
There are many such patrol teams in the battlefield of life and death. Compared with hundreds of thousands of dead people scattered across the country, the exorcists have also made corresponding countermeasures to protect those innocent people.
This is my thirteenth day as a patrol team.
According to the regulations here, we will patrol near Coffin Mountain every night to ensure that the dead bodies on Coffin Mountain will not suddenly come down the mountain to look for living body parts.
Every three days, we have to go deep into Coffin Mountain to count the number of dead bodies on Coffin Mountain and the degree of damage to their bodies.
The reason for checking the degree of damage to their bodies is to better judge when they will attack the surrounding villages.
For the past thirteen days, fighting has occurred almost every day. There are seven people in the patrol team, two have died, and there are five left. Among them, I was added later.
As for the corpses in the coffins, at least a dozen of them were burned by us.
You must know that the total number of corpses originally entrenched on Coffin Mountain was almost a hundred.
Compared to a patrol team of no more than ten people, this number is simply ten times the number.
Today is the day to go to Coffin Mountain to count the opponent's number, because by counting the opponent's approximate number every day, you can clearly know whether the opponent has come for reinforcements and whether there are signs of growth.
If reinforcements come, we will retreat and then notify the Special Cases Division for support.
If there are really signs of growth, the result will be a bit cruel. Feng Qingshan will completely chop the growing dead into pieces, lest many living people will die in his hands.
Because we were going into the mountains this time, Feng Qingshan only drove halfway before leaving the car on the side of the road and leading us up the hillside with our packages on our backs.
The night on the plateau was very cold and the wind was very strong. We carried our packages and walked in the dark, and soon saw the Coffin Mountain in the distance.
Coffin Mountain is actually a mountain ridge shaped like a coffin. Because it is shaped like a coffin, dozens of living corpses have gathered here.
These living corpses close the coffin mountain to rest during the day, and attack at night to rob living people. Because the living corpses' bodies will be damaged, and the dead have no ability to repair themselves. Once the body is damaged, they can only go to the living. Got parts to replace.
In fact, the contradiction in the battle of life and death lies in this. The ghosts need the bodies of living people to relieve their pain, and the living corpses need the bodies of living people to maintain their physical condition.
The spirits want to be transformed into human form, and the poisonous insects need food. These things can only be obtained from living people. This is a natural contradiction that is irreconcilable.
Nowadays, Coffin Mountain has been regarded as a nest by the living corpses, and it seems that they plan to continue to operate it for a long time. The mountain is dotted with ghost fires, and the green color looks very eye-catching. Beside some bonfires, dilapidated bodies are lying in various directions.
The reason why I say dilapidated is because most of the bodies of these living corpses have turned purple, and their skin is wrinkled, as if they are extremely dehydrated.
Some of the living corpses still have parasites on them. Those bugs rely on the yin energy of the living corpses to survive. Occasionally, they will also feed on the rotten flesh of the living corpses.
I remember the first time I saw these living corpses, I was almost so disgusted by these guys that I couldn't eat.
Feng Qingshan told us that among these living corpses there was a corpse king, who was probably a little stronger than Feng Qingshan and could be considered the number one figure.
This guy is very greedy and domineering. All living body parts snatched by the zombies must first be selected by the Corpse King.
This also resulted in the corpse king's body being pieced together.
There are actually advantages and disadvantages to this kind of patchwork body. The advantage is that the corpse is relatively active and is good at controlling the corpse king.
The disadvantage is that because it is pieced together, the joints are always not as strong as the original ones. If you don't meet a real master, that's it. Once you meet a top master, it is best to add two ducks and one duck, and run away.
But speaking of it, this is just the edge of the battlefield. The Corpse King and Feng Qingshan are the most powerful people among the living and the dead, and not many people can break the Corpse King's body.
In fact, this method of piecing together to form the Corpse King is also recorded in Tianzizi's memory. At that time, Tianzizi seemed to have taken care of the opponent easily.
But when I tilted my head to think about it, I still couldn't remember it.
How did Tianzi deal with the Corpse King back then?
While he was frowning and thinking, he heard Feng Qingshan say softly: "There seems to be something wrong with Coffin Mountain today."
When he didn't look back, I knew he was asking me. There was nothing I could do. The two Taoist priests in Qingcheng Mountain didn't listen to orders and went their own way. The old man with a pipe bag was a rough guy and couldn't tell what was going on.
In comparison, I am much more reliable than them.
I squinted my eyes and looked towards the coffin mountain, and I quickly noticed something was wrong.
The living corpses on the coffin seemed to be lying on the ground.
In today's world, I already know that the way to rest a living corpse is to lie down casually. As long as it is not exposed to the sun, there is basically no problem.
Because of the unique geographical structure of Coffin Mountain and the surrounding mountains, even if you lie down on Coffin Mountain, you will not be harmed by the sun.
But it's night now, and night is the time when zombies are most active.
It's like the morning of a living person.
Logically speaking, the living zombies now should either practice their head-picking skills, or start clamoring to attack the nearest village.
But what the hell are they sleeping on the ground now? And they are sleeping so neatly!
It didn't feel like I was resting, but more like some kind of etiquette, some kind of etiquette to welcome a big shot! Because I saw the zombie leader who looked like a living person, also prostrate on the ground.
