Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 424 The Secret History of Zombies
Next, the Three Emperors introduced Ren Qinglian to the human race of Huoyundongtian, many of whom were familiar, such as Ling Lun, Cangjie, Li Mu, Dahong, Nuba...

These five people are the five Da Luo Jinxian powerhouses guarding the outside of Huoyun Cave. Among them, Ling Lun is revered as the ancestor of the human race's rhythm, Cang Jie created the human race's own writing, Li Mu and Da Hong were both Xuanyuan's back then. The general, and Nuba, is one of the four legendary ancestors of zombies.

Thinking of the ordinary-looking old woman she saw outside the cave just now, Ren Qinglian couldn't connect her with the legendary ancestor of zombies anyway, and hesitated: "Is she a female demon?" She said, looking at Xuanyuan Huangdi.According to legend, this nun is also the daughter of the Yellow Emperor.

"Why, what does the zombie look like in your imagination?" Xuanyuan Huangdi said with a playful face, "The so-called zombies are just some people who have absorbed the power of the fierce beast!"

Ren Qinglian thought about it, and when the general was not bloodthirsty, he looked no different from ordinary people, but Xuanyuan's words made him more curious about the origin of zombies and the rumored four zombie ancestors, "the rumored origin of zombies Mysterious, there are four ancestors of zombies, rumors have been spread for countless years, even the female princess is described as very hideous..."

"Princess Nuba?" Xuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and only after seeing Ren Qinglian's expression did he realize: "You think Nuba is my daughter?"

Ren Qinglian nodded subconsciously.

Xuanyuan couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Nvba is a figure from the emperor's time, and she was born hundreds of years earlier than me..."

Ren Qinglian opened her mouth, thinking of an ancient book that she had seen before, it was recorded that the girl in Tsing Yi was a celestial girl who was later placed in the north of Chishui, and this so-called celestial girl may not necessarily refer to the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, it may also be It's just a kind of good reputation for the nun. After all, from the appearance of the old woman, it can be vaguely seen that the nun back then should be a very beautiful woman.In fact, there was a poem praising it at that time: "The river is graceful and graceful, and the water is beautiful. The beauty of the soul can be used to worship the gods. You have just mourned and don't think about people far away."

"As for the four ancestors of the zombies you mentioned, they are just the four most powerful among those who absorbed the power of the fierce beast at that time..." Xuanyuan said, seeing Ren Qinglian's curious face, he was patient Said that part of the secret.

At the beginning of the prehistoric era, the first to rise on this continent was the clan of ferocious beasts. At that time, Yan could be regarded as the king of ferocious beasts.However, with the subsequent rise of the dragon, phoenix and unicorn clans, the beast clan suffered a fatal blow and was almost slaughtered.The existence of Yan had already been extinct at that time, but the fierce beasts were just insane. In terms of blood aptitude alone, they were not weaker than the dragon, phoenix, and kylin clans that came later. After the beasts are killed, they will collect the blood essence of these fierce beasts. It is a good choice whether it is used to practice supernatural powers and secret arts or to refine alchemy.

When the three clans fell, the essence and blood of these ferocious beasts fell into the hands of the monster clan.In the later period of the Lich War, the Yaozu had many other plans besides refining the witch-slaying sword. One of them was to use the blood essence of ancient beasts to create an unprecedented war beast. With the power of this giant beast, trample those witches on the ground to death.

However, this plan has not yet been implemented, and the Lich War ended with a loss for both sides.But that giant war beast was created at the last moment. In the chaos of the world, this monster, which was based on the essence of Ji's blood and fused with the blood of countless beasts, began to kill all the way from the heavens, wreaking havoc to the earth fairy world .

Although such a monster caused countless troubles in the world, in the eyes of the saint, it was a vulnerable existence, and was quickly wiped out by the saint.But the misfortune of the monster Ji is far from over.In the subsequent era of contention among hundreds of clans, monks were constantly affected by the power left in the world, and a "stiff" clan appeared. These people have a common characteristic, that is, the physical body begins to decay and stiffen to varying degrees, making The strength has increased greatly, and the strength has been improved to varying degrees.

But the most famous among them are the four human races who have accepted the baptism of Yan's power-Nvba, Houqing, Yinggou, and Jiangchen.In fact, it is easy to understand that the blood power of the human race is the weakest, and it is almost unreserved in the face of the erosion of the remaining power of Yu, so the fusion will naturally be the most thorough.

Female Ba was born in the reign of the emperor (Fuxi is called the emperor, and the period when he managed the human race is also called the emperor's period), because she fell in love with Yinglong, she was exiled by the tribe to the north of Chishui, and later became critically ill and was sent to the The soul attack of Yan who escaped from this place fused part of the power of this fierce beast. Wherever he went, the rivers dried up one after another, the weather was severely drought, and the people were in dire straits, so he was also called Drought Demon.However, with the help of Ying Long, they regained their sanity. After that, they both lived in seclusion on the coast of the East China Sea. They were not born again until the time of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi. Together with Ying Long, they helped the Yellow Emperor deal with Fengbo Yushi and finally won the war.Back then, Yinglong assisted the human race many times because he was instructed by Qinglong. After Dayu controlled the flood, he returned to the Qinglong Realm to return to his mission, and there was no news after that.Nuba couldn't wait for Yinglong to come back to find her, so she stayed by Huangdi's side, practiced supernatural powers, and became the guardian of the fire cloud cave.

Hou Qing was originally a general under Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, brave and good at fighting, unfortunately died in the battle with Chi You, his body was corroded by the power of Yu, and became the ancestor of zombies with the power of curse.Unlike Nuba, because the corpse became stiff, Hou Qing's heart changed drastically, and he fed on corpse energy and resentment, causing disasters everywhere, and was finally killed by Nuwa Empress. He was also the shortest-lived one among the four ancestors of zombies.

Yinggou is also a hero under the Yellow Emperor, but he is a bit conceited. He failed to follow Xuanyuan Huangdi's orders during a battle against Chiyou, resulting in defeat and was fined to go to Beiminghai to guard the border. He was dissatisfied with Huangdi because of this. Ji's remnant soul merged and his strength increased greatly. In order to avenge the Yellow Emperor, he joined Chi You's camp and fought for the deer. Jiuli was defeated, and this person was nowhere to be found.However, according to Fuxi's speculation, he should have left the prehistoric world.

Among the four ancestors of the zombies, General Chen was born the latest, but he was the most harmful one, because he fused the blood essence of the ferocious beast, possessed the ability of the other party's blood inheritance, and could continuously create his own army through bloodlust.Most of the so-called zombies in the immortal world today are descendants of generals.At that time, it wasn't just the human race that was infested by it. In fact, the general didn't look down on ordinary human races at all. The blood successors he chose were monks with strong strength. In that era, these monks were equivalent to Taoists. disciple.This provoked a big man, that is the Taiqing sage.The general's strength expanded extremely quickly, but he had never had an orthodox practice, so he had no idea what it meant to be a Taiqing sage.After some provocations, she was finally sealed in the Demon Realm.But the bloodline descendants left by him when he ravaged the fairy world have been lurking since then, and a few will appear from time to time, causing a burst of restlessness.

Ren Qinglian sighed when she heard that, the general had seen him before, experienced the baptism of the demon world, and obviously became a very difficult person.

"Does the Holy Emperor know who the general was before he fused his power?" Thinking of the difficult problem that the deity encountered in the demon world, Ren Qinglian felt that if she could know the background of the general, it might be of some help. .

"The general is a descendant of Fei Lian from the Jiuli clan, cunning like a fox, vicious like a wolf..." Xuanyuan said, thinking of the scene he saw back then, he was still a little chilled.

In the battle against the deer, Jiuli was defeated, and the Yellow Emperor captured a lot of prisoners. He originally thought about how to integrate these witches into his tribe, but that night, the screams from the barracks made him stop. the idea.

The 12-year-old general killed the two human warriors guarding him alive, and escaped from the Yellow Emperor's barracks overnight. No one knew what happened at that time, because the one who knew was already dead, but judging from the tragic situation at the scene Look, it's just too brutal.

This is in line with his impression of the cruel general's ancestor, but the other party is actually a descendant of Feng Bo, that is to say, his mother should be Yu Shi who was with Chi You at that time... "Feng Bo and Yu Shi They all died in the battle of the deer?"

Xuanyuan shook his head: "Master Yu was beheaded by Nuba, but Feng Bo escaped from Yinglong's hands, but his body was beheaded by Xuanyuan Sword, and only Yu Yuanshen escaped. The map of the country is trapped inside."

Ren Qinglian's heart moved, this Uncle Feng was unlucky enough, he finally escaped from Yuanshen, but he didn't expect to meet Nuwa Saint on the way.The Jiuli clan has the blood of the witch clan, but also has the blood of the human race, so they can not only possess the supernatural powers of the witch clan, but also cultivate the primordial spirit of Taoism.

"Uncle Feng has a very powerful innate magic weapon, the wind and thunder fan wheel, but unfortunately..." Xuanyuan couldn't help sighing, looking like a boiled duck flew away.

Sensing the smile on Ren Qinglian's face, Xuanyuan reacted, coughed dryly and said: "You have learned the Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, but if there is anything unclear, I can give you some pointers."

Ren Qinglian knew that this kind of opportunity could be met but never sought. Although the other party had never practiced martial arts, the foundation of the entire martial arts was laid by him. Many questions, perhaps more thoroughly, were asked.

Next to him, Fuxi and Shennong would also give pointers from time to time, and the whole process benefited a lot.

A few days later, Ren Qinglian finally saw Yang Chan.

Inspired by the morning breeze, the sea of ​​flowers is fragrant.The two people were separated by a few feet, staring at each other for a while.

Yang Chan's face was covered with teardrops at some point, her heart was sour and sweet, and it was hard to express it for a while.

Ren Qinglian looked at the sun shining on her face, which was as bright as a rosy glow, and her heart surged, "Silly girl, why are you crying!"

"You haven't come to me for so long..." Yang Chan said aggrievedly.

Jingwei next to him snorted, "Heartbreaker!"

Ren Qinglian glanced at the woman next to Yang Chan, and it was really difficult to connect her with the Jingwei bird that filled the sea with stones in the previous life legend, but the only one who could follow Yang Chan was the youngest daughter of Shennong. , who else.

Seeing Yang Chan standing there in a daze, she couldn't help gushing out a sword energy in her hand, splitting a boulder not far away in two, and said word by word: "Chan'er, if I lose You are such a rock!"

Yang Chan was stunned, playing together like a thunderstorm, her face was burning like fire, sorrow and joy, grievance, shyness, sweetness, sadness, sadness... all rushed to her heart, and tears fell like pearls with broken strings.

Ren Qinglian was a little anxious, and comforted the girl that he is really not a master.

Jingwei laughed and said, "If a man's words can be trusted, boars can also climb trees."

Ren Qinglian saw that the little girl was deliberately sowing discord, and her heart was moved: "The Holy Emperor of Shennong has something to ask Senior Sister Jingwei."

"Senior Sister?" Jing Wei looked curious, and Yang Chan beside her also secretly pricked up her ears.

"Ren has worshiped the three holy emperors as teachers." Ren Qinglian smiled lightly.

Jingwei had a suspicious expression on her face, but although she was usually eccentric, she was still very reserved next to Lie Shan. Thinking of Ren Qinglian's words, "My father really needs me?"

Ren Qinglian nodded.

When Jingwei left, he let out a long sigh of relief, and finally lost a light bulb.

Seeing that Yang Chan's tears had stopped, she stepped forward and hugged the girl in her arms, "Why are you crying? Do you really think that I have become a heartbreaker like what Jingwei said? Or I will swear now..."

Yang Chan hurriedly covered his mouth, and blamed him: "Who said that I don't believe you anymore, but why haven't you come to see him for a long time..." As she said that, her face turned red, and she hurriedly took her hand away from Ren Qinglian's mouth , gave him a blank look.

Ren Qinglian looked her up and down, "You wear this snow-colored palace uniform, you look like a jade rabbit in the sea of ​​flowers."

Yang Chan glanced at him, "Then what about your black leather jacket? Why does it look like you sewed it yourself after hunting, giggling!" As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing.

Ren Qinglian raised her sleeves suspiciously and looked, and she could see the traces of needlework on them, "Youchao made this for me personally, and the elders dare not resign. But you said it looks like you came back from hunting, but there is this possible."

Yang Chan knew that there was Chao Shi, a very kind old woman, playing with the fur ball on the belt of Ren Qinglian's cloak, and said with a smile: "It feels like the fur of a Xiaotian dog..."

Ren Qinglian whispered in her ear: "Speaking of hunting, guess what I want to do now?"

"what?"

"Catch a rabbit."

"Humph!"

With a sly smile, Ren Qinglian stretched out her hand to catch Yang Chan's fist, wrapped it carefully in her big hand and said, "Gu Gu played with Jingwei, and my hand was as cold as ice."

Yang Chan's face became hot for a while, she twitched her hand, and found that she couldn't break free, so she lowered her head and acted like a good rabbit, "It's like ice, people call it ice muscle and jade bone... Humph, you haven't said that yet?" How did you come here to find me..."

Ren Qinglian froze for a moment, and didn't dare to tell her that she actually came to look for the Three Emperors, and that meeting her was just an accident, so she made up a good story and said that she planned to go to the Nether World to find the little fox. Things come out.

"I'll go with you." Yang Chan smiled without thinking too much.

Ren Qinglian quickly shook her head and said: "No, catastrophe is coming, you are a delicate woman, you must not take risks."

"Delicate girl? Do you think I'm made of clay!" Amidst Yang Chan's coquettish laughter, she flipped her left palm over, and with all the force of her palm, she cut off half of a cliff beside her, and lightly swung in a circle, patting Ren Qinglian's chest. .

Ren Qinglian saw that his moves were neat and light, and couldn't help but praise: "It seems that you haven't been idle all this time."

"That's right, I've been cultivating with all my heart, and I learned this trick from Jingwei."
