Conan Rick's Investigator

It’s time to watch a short movie again…

"call--"

He took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and entered the state.

【Do you want to read? 】

【Yes√】

As the investigation function was activated, Qin Zhibo felt that the things around him were disappearing rapidly, and he soon found himself in a blank white space.

The first is a scene, in which a man dressed in ancient plain clothes raises his head and looks up at the sky.

On the right side of the sky, a section of large splash-ink characters is displayed one by one.

Fresh from the sky, it is as bright as the sky;

On the night of Ao'an, Shen'angweiding;

The past is gone, suddenly;

The four directions are lacking, and the gods are Mingzi;

……

This is a rather long poem, and its meaning is very obscure. As a native of the Celestial Dynasty, Qin Zhibo can only understand it partially.

The general meaning is that "Xuan Jun" laments the vastness of the sky and the insignificance of human power.

And the beings in the sky will one day come to the ground, so I feel fear.

Chapter 1235 Liao Dan

The images and poems at the beginning are similar to the preface to the book, which mainly express the psychological state of Xuanjun when he created this book.

Next is the large calligraphy, Chapter 1, The Great Achievements of the Yellow Emperor.

Huangdi?

As a native of China, Qin Zhibo is quite familiar with this person.

Huangdi, whose surname was Gongsun and whose given name was Xuanyuan, is revered as the "first ancestor of human civilization" and is one of the ancestors of Chinese civilization.

As a Chinese, Xuanjun lived in the Eastern Han Dynasty in the second century AD, so it is normal for him to praise his ancestors' great achievements first.

But just when Qin Zhibo was thinking this, a picture appeared in his mind, and a messenger wearing a yellow robe appeared leisurely.

The tall and towering figure exudes a strong sense of weirdness, and the ragged yellow robe moves without any wind.

That pale mask was covered under the low-hanging hood, hiding a face that was not of this world...

This……

Where is the Yellow Emperor here?

This is clearly the King in Yellow!

Qin Zhibo's pupils trembled, his eyes full of disbelief.

It was the last time since I last saw the King in Yellow...

Now seeing this familiar image again is still thrilling.

I saw the body in yellow robe standing quietly on the grassland under the night sky. There were stars in the sky, and the dark stars were extremely bright.

A group of people wearing coarse fabrics were kneeling on the ground from a distance, not even daring to raise their heads.

The leading man knelt on his knees in front of the King in Yellow, seemingly praying devoutly.

The screen flickered, and the King in Yellow raised his hand slightly, and some tiny tentacles emerged from the wide and dark cuffs.

These tiny tentacles burrow into a man's nostrils, ear holes, mouth, eyes like loaches...

The screen flickered again. The man was already bleeding from seven holes. Several tiny hands came out of the holes and rubbed the wrinkled skin lubricated by blood.

At this time, explanatory ancient texts appeared again on the right side of the screen.

It turns out that these scenes are of the ancient Xuanyuan tribe performing sacrificial rituals within the tribe.

Most of the ancient tribes at that time worshiped gods, including the Chiyou clan's Jiuli clan, which was opposed to the Xuanyuan clan.

The god worshipped by the Xuanyuan clan was called "Huangdi".

The Yellow Emperor is a supreme deity in heaven who would descend from the Heavenly Palace in response to sacrifices and the calls of believers.

Every time he descended, the Yellow Emperor would take the life of the sacrifice, but would also leave behind some great knowledge and inventions.

For example, the yellow mark that helps tribes communicate over long distances.

There are also spells and elixirs that can help resurrect the dead.

Among them, the talisman that helps the dead to be resurrected is called "Xiansha Fanhunlu", which is divided into two parts: the talisman and the spell.

Talisman: Mix cinnabar, black salt and rock salt on yellow paper, and write the imperial decree of the sun and moon on it.

Curse: Three souls and seven souls, return to consciousness and turn into a child. Ascend to the Supreme, and come to Thousand Spirits. The three souls are on the left and the seven souls are on the right. Even if you listen quietly to God’s orders, you will still be unaware of the unknown situation. No one sees you when you are walking, and no one knows you when you are sitting. Hurry like a law!

To truly achieve the resurrection of the dead, several conditions are needed.

Complete souls, complete corpses, and animals were used as sacrifices.

In addition, the "fairy sand" extracted from human corpses can be fed to the corpses and the caster, greatly increasing the success rate of the spell.

Once the resurrection of the dead is successful, the corpse will be resurrected as an adult and have a second life.

However, if it fails, the corpse will turn into a walking corpse and become a "zombie".

The spell can also be reversed, turning the corpse into a ghoul...

Qin Zhibo was shocked after reading the first chapter.

Is this how the name "Huangdi" came about?

Xuanjun was from the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he certainly had no contact with figures from the ancient Chinese period, let alone any research.

Maybe he made up this history just to make future generations believe in him.

Virtual and real

, true and false, it is easier for people to believe.

But is this "Immortal Sand Soul-Returning Talisman" real?

At this time, Qin Zhibo was a little helpless. If he had known that there was such a spell, he would not have had to sneak into Kunyang and ask Satoguya about the resurrection spell face to face.

However, this also proves that "God" does have the ability to resurrect humans.

No, it's the Old Ones...

Entering the second chapter, the content is more familiar to Qin Zhibo - corpse-eating rituals and zombies.

Xuanjun first described the existence of ghouls in a classical Chinese passage.

He defines ghouls as humans, just humans who "will not grow old and die."

Ghouls will steal corpses, eat them in pieces, and fill their bodies with blood. They use this practice to achieve immortality.

Xuanjun was wrong about this. Ghouls only have instinct to eat corpses, and they are not limited to eating human corpses.

From an ecological perspective, ghouls are more like "decomposers."

However, just like in the first chapter, Xuanjun introduced two spells related to ghouls.

One is a spiritual talisman that can sense the presence of ghouls among the crowd and forcefully instill a language that the ghouls can understand into their brains.

Curse: Zhu Geng was ordered to visit the Emperor of God

Talisman: The ghosts are in front, obeying the talisman to listen to the orders. The two qi of yin and yang are currently being followed. The corpse has yin and yang, which harmonizes with the ghosts and spirits. Listen to my words, and the divine soldiers are as fast as the law and order.

The exorcism charm is used in conjunction with the manifestation charm.

The effect is to drive away the surrounding ghouls, and to clearly identify the ghoul lairs near cemeteries and century-old houses.

The magic is a kind of blood brewing method, which has the effect of prolonging life and strengthening the body.

It can be brewed by using the blood that has been separated from the body for less than an hour and the secretion of Hei Tai Sui as medicinal ingredients, adding various medicinal materials, and using magic to catalyze fermentation.

But the price is that the more blood brew you drink, the more afraid you will be of the sun, and may even develop the urge to suck blood.

amount……

Is this becoming a vampire?

Qin Zhibo glanced at the contents of this chapter, and the most useful thing was the talisman.

But this is not very useful to me who has already made friends with ghouls.

The next two chapters introduce "Heavenly Ghosts" and "Earthly Ghosts" respectively.

The Heavenly Ghost is a creature under the seat of the Yellow Emperor. Its appearance is "like a crow, a mouse, a bug, or a corpse" and it is a creature that can fly.

As long as one pays homage to the Yellow Emperor and obtains his consent, one can summon the Heavenly Ghost with a special whistle called "Jishao" in the night sky when Aldebaran rises above the horizon.

With the blessing of the Heavenly Ghost and the "Emperor's Flowing Water", humans can go to the "Heavenly Palace".

The spell in this chapter is the "Emperor Summoning Technique", a spell that can summon the "Yellow Emperor" to come.

And the production methods of "Jishao" and "Di Liujiang".

Another "earth ghost", also known as "Jiao", is actually a giant earthworm-like creature with a bunch of tentacles in front.

When a local ghost appears, obvious ground vibrations can be felt for several kilometers.

Moreover, ghosts occasionally cast spells to control humans. In this case, another person can put a small amount of water on the face of the controlled person to wake him up.

Use the "Earth Gang Kao Zhao Lu" to summon it.

After reading these two chapters, Qin Zhibo remembered that he had seen descriptions of these two animals in "The Secret of Worms" before.

The sky ghost, named Bayaki, is an interstellar creature that can carry people flying.

The Byaki do not live on Earth and can only be summoned from outer space by blowing a special whistle on a specific dark night.

Since the environment in outer space is not suitable for humans, if you want to fly into the sky, you need "golden mead" to help.

The earth ghosts are earth-burrowing demonic insects.

The earth-boring devil insect is a creature that lives in the earth's crust. It is a huge gray-black bag-shaped creature. The tentacles at the front end make it look like an oversized squid.

Most of the time, the burrowing demon worm

It lives in extremely high temperatures underground and only appears on the ground occasionally.

The largest individual among the burrowing worms is also the supreme leader of the Kthonians, named "Shude Mel".

It is about a mile in length and has a huge destructive power that can easily destroy a small city. It is also ranked among the Old Ones.

However, Qin Zhibo guessed that the Earth-Drilling Demonic Insect should have a weakness, that is, it is afraid of water.

Because my prop [fireproof suit] is made of Ketonian skin, which is fireproof but not waterproof.

……

After digesting the contents of the first four chapters, Qin Zhibo immediately began to read the fifth chapter.

Chapter 5: Deep Divers, Human Believers, and Time and Space

The Deep Diver is definitely an "old friend" to Qin Zhibo.

The deep divers described by Xuanjun are called "mermaids" and are distributed in most inhabited areas along the southern coast.

Most of the small coastal villages make a living by fishing. In order to pray for a good catch in the coming year, the villages offer young boys and girls to the "mermaids of the sea" every year.

In fact, this is the method of the Deep Ones.

They can reduce fishermen's catches simply by driving them away from the seafloor.

Sometimes they even attack fishing boats to coerce humans into performing sacrificial rituals.

In this process, some humans began to truly believe in the sharks.

After a period of evolution, these human beings who believe in the sharks will gradually become ugly and hateful, and eventually they will become similar to the sharks.

Qin Zhibo is very familiar with this part of the evolution history from humans to deep divers.
