Caiyun glanced at the big guy timidly, wondering, "Brother Lin Kun, I..."
"Caiyun, don't worry. We are all here. You know Sister Yaxian, and you should be familiar with this Lao Ren. Oh, this guy's name is Xu Duobao, just call him Lao Xu. He is also my friend.
He was involved in the soul-suppressing mirror case."
Caiyun glanced at Xu Duobao, nodded, and said: "Hello everyone, my name is Caiyun. I...I am a Taoist who subdues demons. This time I am here, I am sent by the master to tell someone
secret."
"Caiyun, what's the secret?" Xu Yaxian asked.
"The secret about the curse of Heiyun Village." Caiyun whispered.
"Curse?" Xu Duobao was startled and started to make a fuss again.
I glared at him and signaled him not to disturb Caiyun and continue speaking. Only then did Xu Duobao have to hold back his words.
Caiyun continued: "The ancestors of Heiyun Village are a clan that migrated from the Central Plains area to the Wuman area in the southwest. They all have the surname Yun. During the migration, the Yun clan accidentally encountered zombies, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries. One of them was pregnant with
Unfortunately, the young lady in Liujia was bitten by a zombie and is in critical condition."
Ren Yonghai, Xu Duobao and Xu Yaxian looked at me and I looked at you, their eyes all expressed surprise, but no one spoke and did not dare to interrupt Caiyun.
"At that time, a demon-conquering Taoist happened to pass by, and he acted righteously to kill the zombies, and saved the young mistress and the tribe. However, the corpse poison had already invaded the internal organs, and even the fetus was not spared. The demon-conquering Taoist could not bear the death of living beings, and exhausted all his energy.
After various treatment methods, the mother and child were finally saved. A few months later, the Yun family settled down in Heiyun Village, and the young mistress also successfully gave birth to a baby. However, the Demon-Conquering Taoist failed to completely eliminate the corpse poison. What's more serious is that from then on,
From now on, babies born in Heiyun Village will contain corpse poison in their bodies, and no one will live past the age of twenty."
"Ah? He's about to die at the age of twenty!" Xu Duobao was so surprised that he almost fell down from the bar.
Xu Yaxian on the side patted Xu Duobao's thigh hard, "Second uncle, don't talk, don't interrupt Caiyun."
"Well, yes." Caiyun nodded.
"Hey, Miss Caiyun, I'm so sorry. I don't know anything about it. You go on." Xu Duobao said awkwardly.
"In order to help the people of Heiyun Village, Taoist Conquering Demons used all he had learned in his life to send five artifacts to Heiyun Village, which are the so-called 'Five Secret Techniques', namely the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda, the Soul-Suppressing Mirror, and the Double Guide
Formation, poison poison and blood exchange. With the five secret techniques, the people of Heiyun Village can live safely to the age of fifty. If they can use Yuan Sheng's poison to cure them after the age of fifty, they can live for another ten years.
It’s not impossible.”
"So that's it. I really didn't expect that the remaining secret technique is actually the soul-suppressing mirror bought by my second uncle?!" Xu Yaxian also looked incredulous.
"These five secret techniques complement each other. The Soul-Suppressing Pagoda can suppress the corpse poison and delay the onset of the corpse poison, while the Soul-Suppressing Mirror can reduce the toxicity of the corpse poison. Even if the corpse poison begins to attack after the age of twenty, as long as the Soul-Suppressing Mirror is there,
The toxicity can also be weakened. The Double Yin Acupuncture is a formation method for extracting corpse poison. Although the Double Yin Formation we saw in the ancient tomb last time is in the tomb, if this Double Yin Formation is used by a living person, it can purify the body.
Corpse poison."
"No wonder those female corpses have become pure yin bodies."
"Where are the remaining poisons and blood exchange techniques?" Ren Yonghai continued to ask.
"Poison is the most effective method of restraint. When people in Heiyun Village use poison, they actually use poison to devour the corpse poison in the body, achieving the effect of fighting poison with poison. However, the method of raising poison
The method is very complicated. As the inheritors of Heiyun Village pass through the generations, the toxicity of the poison has gradually weakened, so that now, it is difficult for the poison to restrain the corpse poison. This is why the demon-subduing Taoist at that time told Yunding'e to look for Yuansheng Gu.
Caused by insects.”
"So, the mysterious man who saved Yun Dingxiang and the others is also a demon-conquering Taoist?"
"Well, he is my master." Caiyun nodded.
"Not only that, there are even more exciting things." I interjected and said, "Do you still remember what Yun Ding'e said that Heiyun Village experienced a split?"
Xu Yaxian and Ren Yonghai nodded and said, "I know."
"The branch that separated is the current Yun family."
"What?!" Xu Yaxian almost couldn't sit still after hearing this, "You said that the Yun family, the leading wealthy family in Xi'an, is a descendant of Heiyun Village?"
"It's surprising."
"Yes." Xu Yaxian nodded vigorously.
"There's something even more unexpected, Caiyun, tell me."
Caiyun continued, "Heiyun Village split in the early Han Dynasty. One of the generals followed the King of Chu and rebelled. When he was about to die, the corpse poison attacked his heart and turned into a zombie. Fortunately, the demon-conquering Taoist arrived in time and killed the zombie. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. In order to
To prevent it from turning into a corpse again, I specially took the soul-suppressing mirror and put it in the tomb."
"So, the soul-suppressing mirror I bought actually belongs to this general?" Xu Duobao asked with wide eyes, "No wonder the mirror is so evil."
"From now on, there are only four secret techniques left in Heiyun Village."
"But, have you ever thought about it. Only the five major secret arts can be used together to barely suppress corpse poison. It is not easy for Heiyun Village to be able to rely on the four major secret arts in recent years. After the disappearance of the soul-suppressing pagoda, the situation has deteriorated even more. One day
It's not as good as one day, and the Yun family even has the only soul-suppressing mirror buried in the tomb, how did they survive all these years?"
"this......"
Everyone was silent.
"That's what motivated the whole thing."
"What motive?"
"Five Secret Techniques."
"how to say?"
"The Yun family has been secretly stealing the five secret arts of Heiyun Village in an organized and planned way. The real culprit of the theft of the Soul-Soothing Pagoda forty years ago has not been caught yet. Now it seems that it is most likely that the Yun family did it.
A few months ago, an ancient tomb in Heiyunzhai was robbed. No treasures were stolen from the tomb, but the corpse poison was leaked, indicating that the tomb robbers were targeting the Bagua Shuangyin Dragon Tower Hall in the tomb. Of course, there were also
There is poison, Yuanshenggu."
"Your analysis makes sense." Ren Yonghai nodded, "In order to survive, the Yun family must gather these five secret arts. This motive is tenable."
"Including the soul-suppressing mirror case, I also suspect that the Yun family themselves did it. In order to collect these five secret techniques, they even dug the graves of their ancestors."
"Lin Kun, if the Yun family is really doing this to gather the five secret arts, the doubts about the ancient tomb case can be explained. But, how to explain the corpse robbery case and the soul-suppressing mirror case?" Ren Yonghai asked.
doubt.
"Good question. This is the last remaining doubt. Behind the five secret arts, there must be an ultimate conspiracy that has not been discovered by us. That is why they want to refine corpses. What is the connection between corpse refining and the five secret arts?
?”
"Yes." Ren Yonghai nodded, "Yes, if you want to unlock all the truth, you must understand this."
"What's behind the corpse robbery case is corpse refining, but what about the soul-suppressing mirror?"
Xu Yaxian asked.
"The soul-suppressing mirror is the first step in the corpse theft case. I guess they were not brave enough at the time, so they wanted to use the ghosts on the soul-suppressing mirror to harm people and collect corpses. This included the fact that they later bribed Zhang Weidu and
The local rat uses the soul-suppressing mirror to lure those who are greedy for profit into going to the tomb to hunt for treasure, with the ultimate goal of harming others."
"It's so abominable!" Xu Yaxian stamped her feet.
"By the way, Lin Kun, you said you attended Yun Dongbei's funeral. What did you find?"
"I saw a man who went to that cabin."
"Oh?" Ren Yonghai opened his eyes wide, "Who would go to that place? If someone really goes in, this person will most likely be a corpse refiner."
"I'm also very surprised. This person is the second son of the third child of the Yun family, from Yunnan."
"Southwestern Yunnan?!" Xu Yaxian was surprised, "Is it really the Yun family that did it?"
"That hut is where corpse refiners use it to refine corpses. Although we still don't know what the purpose of corpse refinement is, there is no doubt that the person behind the whole thing is Yunnan."
"Then the kid we met at the electrician's house and Yunhai Company who were killed last time was also controlled by Yunnan." Ren Yonghai asked.
"If Yunnan is the corpse refiner, the master of you brat is most likely Yunnan."
"Kid? What kid?" Xu Duobao asked with a livid face, "Lin Kun, don't scare me. Why do I feel cold on my back now?"
"This has nothing to do with you." I glanced at him, "Just take care of your mother and wife. You don't have to worry about anything else."
"Okay, okay, I will take good care of them."
"Old Ren, do you still remember the strange things you encountered last time when you were investigating surveillance?"
Ren Yonghai nodded and said: "Remember, Lao Youxin died not long after my investigation."
"Kill and silence."
"Well, if it were anyone else, I would still be a little doubtful. After all, it would take a lot of energy to spread the news from within the police force. But if it were the Yun family, then I would not doubt them at all.
It fully possesses this kind of strength.”
"Well, I understand when you say that."
"I asked someone to inquire before, and the information I got was similar to what I guessed."
"I really didn't expect that the dignified Yun family would do such dirty things behind their backs." Xu Yaxian said angrily, "It's so unconscionable that God cannot tolerate it."
"You can't say that. If you think about it from another angle, the Yun family is actually quite pitiful. They were infected with corpse poison when they were born and will die before they reach the age of fifty. If it were me, I would feel unbalanced. Why?
This is your fate."
"But, you can't use other people's lives to extend your own life."
"Having said that, people's hearts are unpredictable, and we cannot judge others from our own perspective."
"No matter what, we must stop him." Ren Yonghai stood up, "Although the Yun family is sad, killing is illegal, and I will arrest those who break the law. No one can openly trample on the law, not even the King of Heaven!"
When Ren Yonghai said it with such righteous words, I felt ashamed.
Xu Duobao on the side was startled, looked at the tall and upright Ren Yonghai, and asked hesitantly, "Lin Kun, I haven't asked yet, what does this friend of yours do?"
"He... the police."
