Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 368 Jiang's Book Pavilion ([-])

What appeared in front of his eyes was the face of an immature child. It was a child who was only about six or seven years old, less than half the height of Chen Zhi, wearing a dark red hoodie, with a pair of small horns pierced.But it is this innocent and lovely child's face, but now it is an extremely terrifying face,

That face, which should have been tender and fair, was covered with bluish-gray skin, which made people feel goosebumps all over the body at first glance. The whites of the eyes were turned up and the black eyes could not be seen, and the lips were shriveled, revealing a row of gloomy little faces. Teeth, and blood red under the eyes, this child seems to have been made into a human specimen after being tortured.

"What is this? Child? Are you alive? It's like a zombie!",
Thinking in his mind, Chen Zhi took two steps back, holding the dagger tightly in his hand, ready to deal with this young zombie's attack at any time.After a stalemate like this for a long time, the zombie child still stood in front of Chen Zhi, motionless, silent, and had no intention of attacking at all.

"This child must have come to me, and since he can walk over by himself, it means that he is active, what is he trying to do? His appearance is definitely not human, this cautious appearance..., could it be Is it a ghost boy?"

Chen Zhi suddenly remembered the ancient evil word ghost boy.

Ghost boy, also called Gumantong, is a very popular evil method in ancient times. In ancient times, some nobles used evil methods to soak live children in medicinal oil in order to obtain slaves that were easy to drive and had a long life. They were tortured cruelly and finally turned into ghost boys, which is similar to raising little ghosts.These ghost boys will live forever and be driven by the master at will.Even now, the custom of raising ghost children is still very popular in Thailand, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian regions, and they are called Yuncai boys.It's just that the ghost boys raised now are all deceptive tricks, and the real evil method has long been lost.

After seeing the real ghost boy in front of him, Chen Zhi not only thought of his sacred ancestor Jiang Ziya.For thousands of years, Jiang Ziya has always been the embodiment of holiness and justice. Could it be possible that he would perform such vicious spells in the past?And why is that so to a young child?

At this moment, Chen Zhi noticed that the hoodie the child was wearing was a pullover hoodie that was common in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and it was made of typical native silk at that time.The weaving technology at that time was primitive, and this kind of artificially woven silk and satin could only be used by noble families. The color of the pocket coat was dark and stiff, and it looked old.It seems that the incense in this room really has the effect of anti-corrosion and restoration, which can prevent such ancient silk fabrics from being turned into ashes and dissipated

Chen Zhi saw a tiny stain on the small pocket coat, like the imprint left by the original pattern after it faded, but this detail still couldn't escape Chen Zhi's eyes.

Those were two faded divine scripts, and they were written with a name——Chiyunzi.

Chen Zhi knew this Chi Yunzi, although few people knew his name, but his master was well-known in advance, that is Shen Gongbao, a legendary figure in Fengshen Performing Arts.

Shen Gongbao is a mythological villain familiar to Chinese people. His surname is Shen, and his first name is Bao. Gong is a kind of appellation. He is a disciple of Chanjiao. He was an enemy of Jiang Ziya all his life, so he instigated a large number of experts to deal with Jiang Ziya and help the tyrant to abuse him, which caused great difficulties for King Wu Jifa to defeat the tyrant.Later, because of his full of evil, Yuanshi Tianzun filled the sea eye of Beihai, and was finally named "General of Dividing the East China Sea" by Ziya.And Chi Yunzi is his Dharma protector boy and his beloved disciple.

"If Shen Gongbao had been defeated by Jiang Ziya's men at that time, then his beloved disciple Chi Yunzi had fallen into Jiang Ziya's hands after that battle, and then..., would Jiang Ziya have cruelly turned this child into a ghost boy?"

Chen Zhi shuddered a little when he thought of this, the image of Jiang Ziya with plain clothes and white hair was somewhat blurred at the moment, if human nature is complicated, then divinity is even more complicated.Maybe Jiang Ziya thousands of years ago was not as handsome, humble and kind as he was later said to be.Maybe he used to be ruthless, maybe his cruel methods are not inferior to those gods.

In the following time, Chen Zhi kept trying to communicate with this ghost boy Chi Yunzi, but he soon discovered that no matter what instructions he gave, this ghost boy didn't respond at all.

After several communication failures, Chen Zhi tried to touch the ghost boy's heart with his hands. He was surprised to find that the ghost boy's heart actually had a soft beating sound, but the beating frequency was much slower than that of ordinary people. many.

This ghost boy's skin is very cold, and it feels as smooth as fish in the deep sea.His hair is petrified, his joints are stiff, but his bones are completely normal, like a cold stone doll.The hair at the back of his brain was shaved, many charms were carved on his skin, and several long silver needles were stuck on the acupuncture points on the back of his head.

Guitong's eyeballs were motionless, looking dull, but his eyelids sometimes fluctuated, which proved that his nervous system was absolutely intact.

"This ghost boy must have been kept here to serve the chief of the Jiang clan. The ghost boy can resist his master's last wish. He is the most reliable servant and has a long lifespan. It is indeed suitable to stay here to manage the library. Why didn't you respond to my order?"

Chen Zhi looked at the terrifying face of this ghost boy, and continued to think in his mind.

"If this library has been in and out of Jiang's patriarch alone all the time, can it be... the language that this ghost boy accepts must be divine language?"

Divine language is a straightforward language.It is directly translated into information and communicated to the human brain through the brain nerves, and it is not a text that can be understood by learning.As for the pronunciation of divine script, Chen Zhi has not yet fully grasped it.While reading the divine text, Chen Zhi naturally formed some pronunciations in his mind, but some still hadn't formed yet.If he wanted to communicate directly with this ghost boy in divine language, Chen Zhi couldn't do it yet.However, the pronunciation of the two divine characters of "Ghost Wood" is relatively simple.

Chen Zhi recalled those two words, and after silently reading them a few times, he read them clearly in front of Guitong.

"Ghost wood".

When Chen Zhi's voice just came out, the ghost boy in front of him shook like an electric shock.With a click, the two upturned black eyes turned down and looked at Chen Zhi with extremely resentful eyes.Two words spit out from the shriveled mouth.

"As ordered!"
