The Mysterious Resurrection of the Past of the Republic of China

Chapter 73 The first rebel

After being taught a lesson by Zhang Dong, the middle-aged woman in the shroud shop became much more honest. Although she still had a bit of viciousness on her face, she did not dare to say anything and had to stay aside.

But the old man could see from the faded gown that Zhang Dong's strength was extraordinary.

After living for so many years, he has met not many people who can tear through this gown, and it is even rarer to be so young.

What's more, Zhang Dong didn't have any traces of the evil ghost's erosion on his body. He looked like an ordinary person and seemed to have overcome the problem of the evil ghost's recovery.

After thinking for a short time, the old man in a long gown decided to keep this young man. Even if he lost his old face today, he still had to find out the other person's situation.

This is very important to your plan.

"Young man, we have no grudges at all, but it is indeed my little daughter who made things difficult for you first, so it is my fault today. To express my apology, can I invite you to come and sit in my humble home? If you have anything you want to ask, feel free to ask. If I, Li, knew about it, I would never hide it." The old man in a long gown clasped his hands in front of his eyes and said with a smile.

"Since it's getting late, I won't go back and will spend the night at your house." Zhang Dong said, passing by the two of them and entering the house directly.

After he entered, the old man in a long gown withdrew his smile and glared at the middle-aged woman with residual anger. The latter's expression changed at this sight, and she hurriedly entered another inner room and locked the door.

After the old man came in, he stood at the door of the main room and nervously looked around at the darkening sky and streets. After seeing no abnormal phenomena, he decisively closed the door.

"Young man, please forgive me. It's already six o'clock after almost one stick of incense. You still need to be careful in everything." The old man in a long gown said politely, walked to the corner of the hall, picked up a cup and poured tea.

Zhang Dong knew that there was danger in Taiping Town at night, so he didn't take their reaction to heart, but looked at the layout of the shroud shop.

The room was a bit dark. Since there were no windows, no outside light could shine in. The only light provided was the kerosene lamp on the coffee table.

This oil lamp is somewhat similar to the one in the Taiping Inn. The light it emits is red, but the color is lighter, and it does not suspend everything like the six-story ghost realm in the inn room.

"Such a light color should be the ghost realm below the fourth level."

Zhang Dong frowned and carefully observed the oil lamp.

This time, because he was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, he could be shrouded in red light, and he no longer ignored the ghost realm and escaped as before.

Abilities that cannot be affected by any rules are actually useless in some cases. For example, being unable to be taken away by Zhang Bohua's idealistic ability, or being unable to enter the ghost realm of evil spirits, is another problem.

But now with the help of Mao suit, this problem is solved.

There are a row of chairs on both sides of the main room of the shroud shop. There is a black and white photo hanging on the wall directly opposite. The people in the photo are a bit blurry and their faces cannot be seen clearly, as if they are distorted. There are three spiritual places below the photo. The name above shows that the shroud shop is owned by the Li family.

"The person in the photo is my grandfather, and the memorial tablets below are him, my grandfather, and my father."

The old man in a long gown noticed that Zhang Dongzheng was looking intently at the tomb and took the initiative to explain.

"What's your name?" Zhang Dong turned to look at him and asked, a little confused, "Did your grandfather already have a shroud shop at that time?"

"The old man's name is Li He." Li He said, "The shroud shop has appeared since Taiping Town was established, and it has existed for hundreds of years."

"Hundreds of years?" Zhang Dong was shocked.

I didn't expect Taiping Town to have such a long history, existing hundreds of years ago. From this point of view, the other shops may have been passed down from generation to generation, and they all hide secrets that have been hidden for hundreds of years.

Especially the owner of Guiji, he is a ghost controller who has lived for more than 100 years, and he has more secrets.

"Apart from your shroud shop, were other shops also established in that era?" Zhang Dong asked.

"Most of them are, but the coffin shop has a slightly shorter history and only appeared in recent years, while the ancestral hall has a longer history, surpassing Taiping Town. Some people speculate that Taiping Town was originally established by the ancestral hall, and then gradually developed and expanded. .”

"It turns out that this is the reason why you abide by the rules of the ancestral hall, because that is the origin of Taiping Town, most of the people's elders are from there, and the ancestral hall controls everyone's lifeblood and makes spiritual tablets for you." Zhang Dong stared at He said to the middle one of the three spiritual positions.

The ancestral hall should be the place where the soul callers are located. They set up the souls of certain people in Taiping Town so that one day they can use the supernatural power of their souls to fight against ghosts or enemies.

The summoned souls have self-awareness, which means that they are temporarily resurrected. Naturally, they can see what the world was like at that time. They may be able to see the descendants they miss, or they may be able to see the people who have worked hard all their lives. Success in career, or seeing the beauty in the world.

No matter which one it is, it is a great temptation for the dead.
"Not everyone will have a spiritual position. Only those who have contributed to Taiping Town can be qualified. Others can leave only one or two relics at most." Li He said, and then sighed slightly, "But, you can use it while you are alive. The role is insignificant, so who will pay attention to it when it is dead?"

"That's why you are very eager to obtain the qualifications for a spiritual throne from the ancestral hall, so you will work hard to contribute to Taiping Town, and you will regard the rules as life and will not take the initiative to break them."

After Zhang Dong said this, Li He's eyes visibly moved.

"Hunter, you are not from Taiping Town, but you know us very well and are so strong. I am getting more and more elusive about you." Li He said solemnly.

"You don't have to care about my affairs, just take care of yourself! There is not much time left for you. The day the ghost market opens is the day Taiping Town disappears." There was a bit of indifference in Zhang Dong's tone, "You think... The rules of life will eventually kill you."

He deliberately said these words in order to arouse the resistance of the people in Taiping Town.If everyone doesn't want to struggle before they die, then his plan is meaningless.

What he needs is to provoke the resistance of the Supernatural Society through the resistance of Taiping Town. Only in this way can the ghost control organizations in this country stand on the same line and jointly fight against foreign forces.

Otherwise, Zhang Dong alone would not be able to do it.

However, through Li He's words, he also understood that the place that controlled the discourse in Taiping Town was actually the ancestral hall.

The people here abide by the rules of the ancestral hall, and the ancestral hall is suppressed by the supernatural society, which leads to today's situation.

After tonight, he must go to the ancestral hall.

"Perhaps, the owner of the paper shop made the right decision to give you this dress. Taiping Town has reached its end, and your appearance may be a good thing." Li He said in a heavy tone, picking up the cup just now The tea was handed to Zhang Dong.

The water cup is made of paper, obviously from a paper shop, and the paper contains supernatural powers that restrict the contents of the cup.

It was a cup of tea with a few black hairs floating in it.

No.

To be precise, it is the water of Ghost Lake.

Taking the teacup, Zhang Dong's eyes narrowed slightly: "You guys just drink this stuff?"

"We use it to wash clothes on weekdays, and you can drink it directly after boiling it." Li He said lightly, and then looked at Zhang Dong with a cold gaze.

interesting.
Zhang Dong's eyes became cold and he immediately saw through Li He's thoughts.

He is testing himself
If a person who can drink the water of the Ghost Lake is still safe and sound, he is by no means an ordinary person.Only if you achieve this step can you convince him in terms of strength.It is estimated that he will tell him more important information at that time.

Zhang Dong raised the corner of his mouth, showing a strange smile, then picked up the paper cup and brought it to his mouth.

He wanted to show Li He how he drank this glass of water that contained the supernatural power of the Ghost Lake.

As the paper cup came closer, the water in the cup began to surge.

A thick corpse smell instantly penetrated the nasal cavity, as if lying on a soaked and swollen corpse. Along with a heavy feeling of moisture, the gaping lips touched the lake water in the paper cup.

At this moment, Li He's brows furrowed deeply, and his body moved slightly, because he just wanted to use the lake water to test Zhang Dong to see if he had the decisive attitude to do things, and he did not intend to let him drink it at all. Go down.

This is a derivative of the S-class ghost. Even if you drink just one drop, it will continue to spread and expand under the influence of the supernatural, and will be invaded and melt into a pool of lake water.

"Wait a minute!" Li He suddenly shouted and wanted to reach out to stop Zhang Dong's paper cup.

However, Zhang Dong had already filled the lake with water.

Incredible things happened.

When the lake water touched Zhang Dong's skin, an incomprehensible force forcibly repels the supernatural power contained in the water. The turbulent water quickly calmed down, the turbid color became clear in an instant, and the smell of corpses quickly dissipated. Even those few hairs were gone.

A glass of ghost lake water turns into the cleanest water in the world in an instant.

The supernatural power was completely gone.

Even if it is an S-level ghost lake, it still cannot cross the barrier of being unaffected by the law in front of the law ghost.

When Zhang Dong drank the lake water, it could only fall into a state of decline due to the collapse of the supernatural confrontation.

"This tea is very good." After Zhang Dong finished drinking, he placed the paper cup on the table, then turned his head slightly and stared at the astonished Li He, "Can we continue talking?"

His move is undoubtedly the best proof of his strength and attitude.

"What's your name?" Li He asked in disbelief, like a bolt from the blue.

"Zhang Dong."

"You are indeed worthy of this outfit." Li He slowly sat down, still looking at Zhang Dong, and said, "What else do you want to know?"

"Your plan."

Zhang Dong said flatly that when he saw that the three spiritual tablets were not stored in the ancestral hall, but in the shroud shop, he deduced that Li He wanted to break the rules and attack the ancestral hall.

He was the first person who was unwilling to see Taiping Town fall into the hands of foreigners.Moreover, he must be secretly wooing other people, and he even just had the idea of ​​wooing himself.

That's why he used the water of Ghost Lake to test Zhang Dong.

Now, Zhang Dong's act of drinking the lake water has passed the test.

"I must at least know your position." Li He said, with a hint of fear in his tone.

It would be fine if Zhang Dong was a friend, but if he were an enemy, based on his performance, this shroud shop might completely disappear in Taiping Town today.

There is a high probability that he is no match for him.

"Don't worry, I have proven my position by being able to wear these clothes. I know that you old people who are about to enter the coffin will not be willing to watch the Taiping Town fall into the hands of this generation, and you will definitely be plotting plans in private, and I I also agree with your plan. As a foreign aid, I don’t have to abide by the rules of the ancestral hall, and you don’t have to feel guilty for breaking the rules."

Zhang Dong naturally understood what he was worried about.

"But what good will this do to you?" Li He frowned and breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also very confused.

Zhang Dong's meaning is very clear. He can not abide by the rules of Taiping Town, kill people, or break promises. These have no impact on him.

In short, he is a representative selected by Li He and other older generation rebels, and he is a chess piece who can be put on the stage.

This chess piece must be strong enough and the belief must be firm.

Zhang Dong is a very suitable candidate right now.

But this will not do him any good. He needs to take risks, and he also needs to fight against various unknown supernatural forces. If he is not careful, he will die.

If Zhang Dong fails by then, he will surely be traced to Li He and others, and what awaits them will be liquidation.

The stakes are high.

So they had secretly conceived a complete plan, but one key figure was missing.

Now that Zhang Dong appears, Li He sees hope.

And Zhang Dong had already speculated that there was no peace in Taiping Town, and there would be people who wanted to resist, so he wandered around.

Based on his knowledge of Taiping Town in the original work, the shroud shop is most likely to produce rebels.

Because the people in the shroud shop have bad tempers, and they are most disgusted with the rigid rules and regulations in Taiping Town.

Unexpectedly, he really found it.

"I have collected things from your Taiping Town, so naturally I have to do things for you. And I can't stand those foreigners. They have done all kinds of bad things in our land, so we have to let them pay with blood." Zhang Dong pointed at Wearing a Chinese tunic suit, he said in a serious tone, "So whether it's an ancestral hall or a supernatural society, they can't control me, and I don't care about them."

"A promise and a blank piece of paper are useless in my eyes."

"Your ambition is more far-reaching than I thought, but you still can't fight against the supernatural society on your own, and you can't even pass the ancestral hall." Li He said what he was worried about.

Zhang Dong said coldly: "So I have found you now. I need your information support, about Taiping Town, the secrets of the ancestral hall, as well as information about your plans and other personnel."

Li He's eyes were uncertain, and he hesitated for a long time. Finally, he sighed and firmed his eyes:

"That's all, let me be the first one to break the rules!"
