Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Xu Ru, I believe you already know where this place is. No one will come to rescue you. We already know your situation. If you cooperate honestly, we will not only not make things difficult for you, but also cure your problems for you. What do you think about the cannibalistic disease?" Tangning asked.

Xu Ru lowered his head and remained silent.

Jiang Yuhuan said: "You probably don't even know what disease you have! Do you want to live like this forever? I predict that you will not suffer from this disease for more than ten years at most. You should Can you feel that your internal organs have been completely empty, don’t you want to know why?”

"To tell you the truth, even if you don't speak, we still have a way to know what's going on in your mind. Now is a good opportunity for you to make atonement. If you are stubborn, don't blame us for using our methods. It will be too late to regret by then."

After being silent for a while, Xu Ru finally spoke: "Why am I doing this?"

"I think you must have a memory gap. You have lost the memory of a certain period of time in your mind. Then you wake up and find that you have become neither human nor ghost, and all the internal organs in your body no longer exist. Then you find that you Is it true that he has gained immortality, cannot feel any pain, and suffers from such cannibalism?"

Xu Ru raised his head, his eyes full of hope: "Can you really cure my illness?"

"We have arrested several people in your situation. The reason for this is because there is a strange bug in your body. We call it a corpse bug. It has the functions of blood supply and human metabolism. It is the corpse bug The insect has taken over you. It eats your internal organs and merges with your flesh and blood, so you cannot feel its existence.”

Jiang Yuhuan did not answer directly. This disease cannot be cured because he is already a corpse, but the corpse worms are just forcibly extending their lives. Once they are freed from the corpse worms, they will die immediately. If the corpse worms are not removed, the symptoms will be treated but not the root cause.

"If you want to know anything, just ask!" Xu Ru said

Guan Sheng asked: "When did you get this disease?"

"Three years ago, that day I woke up from a coma and found myself in a mountain range. I couldn't remember what happened before. Later, when I checked myself, I realized that the five internal organs in my body had disappeared. I was so frightened that it took me a long time to recover."

"When did you join the Immortal Cult?"

"About two and a half years ago, the leader came to me and told me that we were chosen by the True God of Immortality. This was not a disaster, but a gift. So I started working for him until we founded the Immortal Cult."

"Who is the name of the Immortal Cult Leader? What is his origin?"

"I don't know. He never shows his true face to others. He always wears a black robe and a hat. His voice is old and hoarse. He calls himself Phoenix."

"Tell me in detail how you met him."

Xu Ru said: "After I woke up, I returned to my original residence. During that time, I frantically checked various classics to find out the strange situation in my body. Until one day, I didn't know what happened, and my consciousness fell into coma. That's when When I regained consciousness, I found blood and flesh everywhere on the ground. Many images emerged in my mind. I captured a man, cut him into pieces and ate him. "

"I was scared, very scared, and ran away from the scene at all costs. Since then, every time when the full moon is approaching, I will fall into unconsciousness and prey on others. I dare not tell anyone, or even meet people, I tried to hide in a deserted place, but when the moon was full, I got sick and preyed on others unconsciously. "

"I didn't regain consciousness until I finished eating."

"After half a year of hiding here and there, on that day, which was almost the full moon, the leader found me. He was wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat and told me that we were the same kind. He also said that we were immortal gods. The chosen person will inherit his great power and magical powers, so I started to follow him and do things for him. "

Jiang Yuhuan said: "How did he find you?"

"We can sense each other. The closer we get to each other, the stronger the feeling of qi and blood surges, especially on a full moon day."

"How far away can you detect others of your kind?"

"I will be able to sense within five miles. The higher the cultivation level, the wider the range of induction. As far as I know, the leader can sense the same kind of people within thirty miles. If it is a full moon night, the range of induction will be wider." There’s a feeling inside.”

The three of them looked at each other and felt a little incredible. Hundreds of miles, so far away?

"Tell me about the Immortal Cult. When did you establish it and what is its purpose?" Jiang Yuhuan said.

Xu Rudao: "Since I followed Phoenix, two more people have joined our team one after another. Including Phoenix, there are five of us in total. We hunted for food in various places in Chu State, and while practicing, we gradually became aware of the monks we were hunting. The higher the cultivation level, the faster the spiritual power will grow after we eat his corpse."

"One day, Phoenix hunted and killed a foundation-building monk. After eating Xuanwu, he unexpectedly broke through the foundation-building stage without going through any of the steps that should be required for foundation-building. This surprised and delighted us."

"Phoenix said that it wanted to expand its influence, so it decided to establish the Immortal Sect, and recruited some non-dead cultivators to join us and work for us. So the Immortal Sect was established, about two years ago."

Tang Ning said, "Tell me in detail how your companions and Xuanwu established the foundation."

Xu Rudao: "When I joined the Immortal Cult, Xuanwu had been following Fenghuang for some time. His real name was Guo Huai, from Jiangdong. Suzaku and Baihu followed Fenghuang after me. Suzaku's name was Wei Yijiang, also from Jiangdong. White Tiger's name Zhu Feng, a native of the Central Plains."

"Like me, they were found by Phoenix on a near full moon night, and they have been following Phoenix since then."

"Suzaku joined three months after me, and White Tiger joined one month after Suzaku."

"The four of us often acted together, hunting down monks. The Phoenix occasionally appeared and gave us instructions. Later we talked and learned that the three of them turned out to be just like me. They unknowingly suffered from the same disease and lost their previous memories. "

"That day, when the moon was nearly full, Phoenix found us again. He captured a foundation-building monk and handed it over to Xuanwu. At that time, Xuanwu had already perfected his Qi and was ready to build the foundation. As a result, he ate the foundation-building monk that night. After cultivating the body of the cultivator, his own spiritual power surged, and his body also underwent tremendous changes. Without absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, without the help of foundation-building pills and marrow cleansing liquid, he just directly established the foundation."

Tang Ning and the other three looked at each other. According to Xu Ru, Phoenix should have known about this situation, so he specially captured a foundation-building monk and handed it over to Xuanwu. Based on this, Phoenix's attack on corpse insects Know much more than they do.

It is very possible that Phoenix is ​​the driving force behind the zombies.

Guan Sheng asked: "What's the mystery behind the names of the four of you? Why did Xuanwu join before you, but you ranked before him?"

"After the Immortal Cult was established, the four of us were nicknamed based on our age, and we stopped calling each other by our names. Phoenix told us to be careful about hiding our identities, so we put on black robes and hats."

"Actually, I have always been worried and fed up with living like this. I don't want to become such a monster, but there is no way. Every time the moon is full, I will lose consciousness, my mouth will be dry, and I will thirst for flesh and blood."

Jiang Yuhuan said: "That's because on the night of the full moon, the Yin Qi in the sky and the earth is at its strongest. The corpse insect is a condensed Yin Qi. On that day, it will appear in its original form, control your mind and satisfy its appetite. It will You must have a supply of flesh and blood to survive. This is why your ability to sense each other increases dramatically on a full moon night."

Xu Ru's face was full of hope: "Can you really cure my condition?"

"There will always be a way, as long as you cooperate."

"According to what you said, all the abnormalities in me are caused by the corpse worms in my body. How did the corpse worms multiply in my body?"

"We believe that this is not a natural growth. In your missing memory, someone put a corpse worm into your body. In fact, once this corpse worm leaves the human body, it will die within half a stick of incense. It can only be attached to Human body survival.”

Xu Ru looked depressed and in pain: "But I really can't remember what happened."

Jiang Yuhuan said: "Someone has tampered with your body. Your spiritual consciousness in Niwan Palace has been damaged. Someone has erased part of your spiritual consciousness. The spiritual consciousness is the reserve area of ​​​​the human body's memory. The erased part of your spiritual consciousness Consciousness is the part of your memory that disappears.”

"It stands to reason that if your consciousness is damaged, you will enter a state of unconsciousness or semi-madness, but the corpse insect controls your body and provides you with a clear consciousness. Therefore, on the night of the full moon, it no longer works and appears in its original form. When it eats flesh and blood, you fall into unconsciousness. After it has eaten and drank enough, it lurks and you regain consciousness."

Xu Ru pondered: "So, I will die if I leave the corpse insect?"

"That's right, we are currently studying how to solve the problem of feeding the corpse worm, and it has already worked. It can continue to stay in your body and no longer eat flesh and blood." Jiang Yuhuan said.

This is of course a lie to him. In fact, there is no effective way to solve this matter so far.

Tangning asked, "How did you find Wrinkle Yinglong after he defected?"

"There is a monthly sacrificial ceremony in the religion, which requires drinking a bowl of sacred water. The sacred water is actually mixed with our body's blood. After they drink it, we can sense them. This sensing ability can last for a month. So we let them drink it once a month."

Jiang Yuhuan explained: "The corpse worms are integrated into their flesh and blood, so their blood contains the unique taste and characteristics of the corpse worms. It is precisely because of this that they can sense each other."

Guan Sheng said: "How did you know about this?"

"Phoenix told us."

Sure enough, it was him again. It seemed that this person was no ordinary corpse insect host, and he must know more secrets.

Tang Ning said: "When you were resisting my spiritual confinement, your spiritual power suddenly doubled, and your body also changed accordingly. Why is this?"

"I don't know either. At that time, I only used all my strength to activate my body's spiritual power, and then I lost consciousness."
