Chapter 321
Uncle Jiu and the others don't know exactly what happened that year, but in their genealogy, it is clearly recorded that the imperial court issued ten imperial decrees in succession, ordering the death of the monk Danzhi.

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, wars continued in the Central Plains and famines continued among the people. In order to resist the invasion of the Mongolian army, the imperial court urgently needed food and grass for the military. At this time, there appeared a monk who voluntarily paid a large amount of gold to the imperial court. The monk who came out - light infatuation.

At that time, the imperial court was in urgent need of money. In order to raise military rations, the emperor grandly welcomed Monk Danchi, accepted his treasures, and wrote books and biography vigorously praising his public morality. , Famous for a while, no one knows.

But the good times didn't last long, and soon someone discovered that this ignorant and indifferent monk, who was as wealthy as the enemy, was becoming less and less human.

The emperor was furious, only then did he know the origin of Dan Chi's treasure, angrily denounced Dan Chi as a demon monk, and ordered him to be arrested and brought to justice.After Danchi heard the news, he left Kyoto overnight with the treasure and returned to his hometown in Fuzhou.When transporting the treasure at night, people discovered that there were some scary-looking goblins beside Dan Chi.

After monk Danchi returned to his hometown, he used the limelight to go up the mountain as a barrier and ceded the land as king.His nature is hard to change, and he even massacred human beings. Except for Guakeng Village, where he was born, no one in the hundreds of miles was spared, and the original residents of Chongshan Town were slaughtered and eaten by him.At this time, the number of goblins beside Dan Chi, for unknown reasons, grew rapidly, and there were more and more of them.

During that time, the court of the Southern Song Dynasty summoned all the martial arts masters in the rivers and lakes, and gathered in Chongshan Town.In a fit of rage, the emperor issued ten imperial decrees in succession, canonizing these Jiang Hu people, promising to reward them with all the treasures of the underworld after killing Tan Chi.

And these Jianghu people who led the order are the ancestors of the people in Chongshan Town now.

Later, the Mongols invaded, and the Southern Song Dynasty was unable to resist, and finally perished.But before the emperor's death, he still secretly ordered these people in the rivers and lakes to guard here to the death, and they can't leave until the evil spirit of Tanchi is killed, and he can't be allowed to do harm to the world again.

In the imperial decree at that time, all the best families among these people were canonized with official titles. The Zheng family of the ninth uncle was canonized as the third-rank guard with a sword, the highest rank among all the families.This is why there were 108 surnames, led by Zheng.

Most of these enfeoffed Jianghu people possess unique skills, great martial arts, and are good at using the technique of Tianxuan. At that time, they tightly surrounded Dan Chi in the limelight, but they soon discovered that encircling and suppressing Tan Chi is not easy thing.

One is that the number of those goblins is growing rapidly, more and more, and within a few years they have formed a huge army, and their strength is extremely powerful.

The second is that there are some monsters that can change the appearance of adults, and even pass on the memories of the changed people, pretending to kill people, and disintegrating the insides of these quacks.

The internal division is the most terrifying. These people in the rivers and lakes began to no longer trust each other. Many people died inexplicably. Very serious contradiction.

After such a long time, the number of goblins became even more astonishing. These people from the rivers and lakes could no longer go to the mountains to encircle Dan Chi, so they could only give up the mission, and most of them left here.

However, those families that were canonized by the imperial court stayed in this mountain town. They settled down and established a rule that all important matters in the future must be decided by the whole clan together, and no one can enter the mountain without authorization. It can effectively prevent indifference from dividing them.This rule has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the people in Zhongshan Town have long been used to this kind of life. Although they have magical powers, they have pretended to be common people for generations, living here in an extremely low-key manner, guarding this secret.

When Pang Wei heard this, he was very puzzled, "If these monsters can become everyone, why didn't he just become the emperor at that time? Wouldn't everything be solved?"

"It's impossible," Uncle Jiu shook his head and said to Pang Wei, "These monsters also have their weaknesses, and their transformation time is limited, and it takes about an hour or so to return to their original shape. Moreover, only a few monsters can change, No other goblins can.

Like Dan Chi, he can only pretend to be human by wearing human skin. When we first distinguished these monsters, we found that they can only inherit part of this person's memory, but they cannot distinguish things that this person does not know. It can be added but not subtracted, and when the time is up, the prototype will appear immediately."

"So that's how it is," said Chen Zhi, nodding his head, and he couldn't help admiring in his heart: "It turns out that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers everywhere in this land of China!".

The first aid medicine brought by the townspeople was very effective. The wounds of Chen Zhi and Fat Wei stopped bleeding quickly. In the following time, everyone gathered together to study the escape plan, and at the same time distributed the food they brought to Chen Zhi and the others. eat.

These townspeople brought a lot of cooked meat and rice dumplings, Zheng Da also carried spirits, these are the things Chen Zhi and Fat Wei need most right now.Everyone was drinking water and eating in the cave, studying the battle plan, and it suddenly became lively. It was the first time for those children to see so many people, they were so excited, they completely forgot that they were in danger, and chattered Running around, Yazai kept foaming at the mouth after the fright just now, and now he fell asleep peacefully, with Shi Dandan staying by his side all the time.

Uncle Jiu, Chen Zhi, and the patriarchs of other surnames studied multiple plans together, but still failed to come up with a good solution.They knew that even though there were many masters in the town, there was still a huge gap compared with the huge number of goblins. If they were to collide head-on, the chances of winning were very small.

Now the only exit is blocked. If you want to dig the hole, you must go through the river, and the conflict with the goblins is inevitable. It seems that it is impossible for them to get out without solving those monsters this time.

"No way, let's rush in!" Zheng Da suggested to everyone, "When all these goblins gather in the tower, I will use our Zheng family's fire technique to burn down that 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 should 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 spread his hands to the head of the Jin family, and other patriarchs also talked about it, but there was no result.

But Zheng Da's words reminded Chen Zhi all of a sudden. He put his eyes on his jacket that was splattered with goblin black blood, and recalled how those goblins were afraid of the flames in his mind. smell.

"Look, what does this black blood look like?" Chen Zhi showed everyone the black blood on his coat, Zheng Da took the coat and looked at it, smelled it on his nose, and said in surprise , "I am too familiar with this taste,

It's oil! "
