Chapter 3 003 The Mystery of the Medicine Corpse

"Father."

Ying Luo walked into Ying Zhen's study and saw Ying Zhen reading a book. He wanted to turn around and leave, but Ying Zhen had already spotted him and turned his head to look at him, so he went straight to Ying Zhen.

"Well, Luo Er looks much better today."

Ying Zhen looked at Ying Luo and nodded with a slight smile.

"The child has recovered, and my father is worried. I don't know who ordered those medical corpses, why did they attack us?" Ying Luo asked.

"Father is still in the dark."

Ying Zhen stood up and replied;
"Those medicine corpses want to put us to death, but the person behind the scenes has never shown up, but they don't know what kind of enmity they have with us?" Ying Luo asked.

"Father has sent General Song Weidian to investigate this matter." Ying Zhen said.

"Father, has Uncle Song found any news?" Ying Luo asked.

"So far nothing has been found."

"Being able to control the medicinal corpse, the power behind it is too terrifying. Father, what is that medicinal corpse?" Ying Luo asked.

"Luo'er, come over to father."

Ying Zhen pondered for a while, but did not answer Ying Luo's words.

Ying Luo nodded, responded, and walked to Ying Zhen's side.

"Well! Our Luo'er has grown up! Your performance that day satisfied my father so much."

Ying Zhen patted Ying Luo on the shoulder with a smile.

Indeed, Ying Luo's performance that day surprised Ying Zhen so much that he didn't look like a 12-year-old child.

"Luo Er thank you father."

Ying Luo just wanted to salute but was stopped by Ying Zhen.

"As long as our father and son are here, there is no need to be too rigid about etiquette."

Ying Zhen looked at Ying Luo with admiration, he was very satisfied with Ying Luo's well-behaved and sensible.

"Father, what is that medicinal corpse? It's terrifying." Ying Luo asked curiously again.

"As the name suggests, the medicinal corpse is the corpse of a person soaked in medicine."

When Ying Zhen mentioned the two sons of "medicine corpse", he seemed to still have lingering fears, and said slowly.

Ying Luo looked at Ying Zhen and nodded to show that he understood.

"The medical corpse did not originate from our Kyushu, but from a country called Fayoum outside the Kyushu region. Making medicinal corpses was originally a way of burial in the Fayoum country to preserve corpses."

"The burial method to preserve the corpse? They are alive." Ying Luo asked puzzled.

"Well, I heard that people who can be buried in this way in Fayoum country must have extremely high-level people. This is the way people in Fayoum country can be reborn." Yingzhen said;
"Rebirth? Oh, it's no wonder that those medicinal corpses act like humans, but since they are corpses, how can they have thoughts, avoid attacks, and kill people?" Ying Luo couldn't help asking curiously;

"Rebirth in Fayoum refers to rebirth in the afterlife; in Fayoum, the dead body is disembowelled, the internal organs are taken out, natron and antiseptic drugs are stuffed in the stomach, and then wrapped in linen strips, and the corpse is soaked in In the pool with antiseptic drugs, after a few months, the corpse is taken out and buried on the sand. After the corpse is air-dried, it is wrapped in linen cloth and buried in a coffin. The burial method of rebirth." Ying Zhen said.

"Oh! Then how did it spread to our Kyushu and become a thinking killer." Ying Luo asked immediately.

"It's a long story. In the early days, a cult organization called Lingmenmen appeared in Kyushu. Lingmeimen was the biggest evil sect in the world at that time. A chivalrous man named Ning Er, he united with various martial arts sects to encircle and suppress the Lingmen Gate, but the Lingmei Gate was finally outnumbered and ended in a big defeat. The rest of the party escaped from the Kyushu area and wandered to the country of Fayoum; They learned how to make medicinal corpses in the country of Fayoum."

Ying Zhen took a sip of tea and said.

"However, the medicinal corpse is made of dead corpses. How can it have thinking and kill people?"

Ying Luo couldn't help but asked curiously.

"It's a good thing to be smart, but if the bad guys are too smart, it's not a good thing."

Ying Zhen sighed and said;

"What's going on here?" Ying Luo asked again.

"Our Kyushu is a realm of civilization, and our people have been very smart since ancient times; after the people of Lingmenmen learned the technology of making medicinal corpses from the Fayoum Kingdom, they changed the dead into living people. Implanted Gu worms to control their thinking, they did not open their bodies when making medicinal corpses, did not take out internal organs, soaked the medicine directly, implanted Gu worms into the human body, controlled their thinking, and turned them into flexible and terrifying killers. This method of cultivating medicinal corpses is called 'raising corpses'. In fact, these medicinal corpses are just corpses controlled by the Lingmen Sect to kill people." Ying Zhen said.

"It's too cruel to use a living person as a medicinal corpse!" Ying Luo said angrily.

"Well, the Lingjiao Gate disappeared for so long, and this time the medicinal corpse appeared, I suspect that the descendants of the Lingjiao Gate came back to take revenge." Ying Zhen said.

"We have no grievances or enmity with Lingjiaomen. Why did the medicine corpse come to the door suddenly? And they killed us fiercely, as if we must be put to death." Ying Luo asked confused;

"This is also what makes my father difficult to understand? Why did the medicinal corpse come to our Dan Palace? It should not be as simple as killing us; who is controlling them? Father has never been able to think of a reason until now. There are no clues to be found." Ying Zhen said;
"Could it be that our ancestors participated in the siege of medicinal corpses?" Ying Luo asked.

"This matter has never been recorded in our family, and no one has mentioned it." Ying Zhen said.

"It has not been recorded, and no one has mentioned it. It does not mean that there is no one. Maybe it is a past event that no one wants to mention." Ying Luo said.

"Yeah." Ying Zhen nodded.

"Won't anyone else raise this medicinal corpse except the people from Lingji Sect?" Ying Luo asked.

"The shroud of the medicinal corpse, the method of resurrecting the medicinal corpse, and the tricks of implanting Gu insects are only understood by the people of the Lingjiao Sect in the Kyushu land. If the implantation of the Gu insects fails or the resurrection of the medicinal corpse fails, the medicinal corpse will lose control. It will attack the person who made the medicinal corpse, and the person who made the medicinal corpse will even be killed by the medicinal corpse. Raising medicinal corpses is quite dangerous. Even those cultivators who tried to make medicinal corpses ended in failure; I don’t dare to raise medicinal corpses anymore, so far only people with particularly high martial arts skills in Lingjimen are raising corpses.” Ying Zhen replied.

"The boy found out that I was with my father, but the corpses attacked my father more aggressively. When the boy ran away, they chased him," Ying Luo said.

"Well, Luo'er's observation is very meticulous; the medicine corpse was planted with a Gu worm, and he killed people based on the implanted information, and the murderer usually has a target, so the target of the attack is precise. Of course, there are also people who kill on sight. Medicinal corpses, it depends on what information they are implanted." Ying Zhen said.

"The green liquid coming out of their bodies should be blood?" Ying Luo asked.

"Well, you're right, those are the blood of the medicinal corpse." Ying Zhen replied with a smile;
"Why is their blood black and green?" Ying Luo asked puzzled.

"The corpses are soaked in medicine, and in the last process of soaking the corpses in medicine, the people of Lingjimen use poison. The poison and blood fuse together to change the color of the blood and form a black-green liquid. The liquid that flows out Those blood is poisonous blood, if it is splashed, the consequences will be disastrous." Ying Zhen said.

"Father seems to be very nervous today?" Ying Luo asked.

"The current situation is becoming more and more complicated. Since the unification of Kyushu, the king has become suspicious. He is worried that the heroes will support themselves, and worry that they will not obey the control of the imperial court and challenge the central government because they own the army. Since With the recent appearance of medicinal corpses, Weifu found out that Lingjimen has been meddling in politics," Ying Zhen said.

"Jianghu sect meddling in politics?!"

Ying Luo looked at Ying Zhendao suspiciously.

"Well, being a father is just a suspicion; I'm worried about unexpected changes in the future. You have to study more recently, and you have to be more careful." Ying Zhen said.

"The child will remember his father's words." Ying Luo said.

"Could this killer really be the Lingji Gate? If it is the Lingji Gate, who is the mastermind behind them? Why did they assassinate us? What is their purpose behind the scenes?"

Ying Zhen seemed to be speaking to Ying Luo and seemed to be talking to himself.

"According to my son, killing my father is to put my father to death. This should be the purpose of the mastermind behind the conspiracy. Could this Lingmen Gate be an organization used by the king to deal with his subjects?" Ying Luo asked;
"Luo Er, there is no evidence, so can you talk nonsense?"

Ying Zhen said to Ying Luo seriously;

"My son is still young, and what I know about the outside world is only what the child heard from his father. The child can only rely on guesswork. If the guess is wrong, I have to ask my father to correct me." Ying Luo said;
"Well, there are only you and my father and son here, and my father doesn't treat you like a child anymore, so you can say whatever you think! You have to leave room for speaking to outsiders. It's a big taboo to speak out." Ying Zhen said.

"Kids, remember." Ying Luo Ying said.

"By the way, how did the three medicine corpses die that day?"

Ying Zhen looked at Ying Luo and asked.

"At that time, the boy was running towards the palace, and suddenly found the medicine corpses chasing him. One of the medicine corpses rushed over to attack the boy. Dodging left and right, avoiding the attack of the medicine corpse." Ying Luo said;
"Well, who killed those three medicine corpses?"

Ying Zhen vaguely felt Ying Luo's sensitivity and speed.

"I can't always dodge if I think about it. Dodging is only for being beaten, and the right way is to fight back, so I took the opportunity to pick up a handful of stones and shoot them?" Ying Luo said it seemed very easy;

"You killed them? Did you kill the medicinal corpse yourself?"

Ying Zhen didn't seem to believe it. He was struggling to deal with the four medicinal corpses. Ying Luo seemed to put the medicinal corpses in the middle of his gestures. How could this be possible.

"Haier killed them himself." Ying Luo replied with a nod.

"This matter is strange, besides father and Mr. Tang, who else taught you martial arts?"

Ying Zhen stared at Ying Luo and asked;

"No."

"Really do not have?"

Ying Zhen naturally didn't believe that the method of shooting the medicinal corpse did not come from him and Mr. Tang.

"Well, not really."

Ying Luo not only answered, but also shook his head;
Ying Zhen knew that there would be no result, so she didn't ask again.

There must be another person who taught Yingluo this technique. He must have other teachers. Who is this person?But being able to teach Yingluo martial arts is not a bad thing, but who is he?

Ying Luo has almost never been out of the palace, and there is such a master in the palace, as the owner of the palace, he doesn't even know it.
