Artifact

"As they described...... This may indeed be a vampire, but it's not a legend!"

Night Thirteen's eyes widened: "What?!".

"Night Thirteen, you should know that when Xiqing and Yanyun died, it was about a hundred years after the alternation of the Eastern Tu Shang and Zhou dynasties, that is, around the tenth century BC. Of course, she wouldn't have known that more than 1,300 years later, there had been a vampire incident on a large scale in Muyili, Luoyang, Northern Wei Dynasty!".

"I remember that this is recorded in the "Luoyang Jialanji" volume of the south chapter of the three cities, saying that there is a local gathering place of Hu people in the Western Regions, and there is a Bodhi Temple, and there are many lonely graves in the wasteland behind the temple, which have been exposed to the wind and sun for decades, and are damaged. A monk named Dado went to repair the grave, but unexpectedly a living dead man was dug up from a grave!"

Dado was frightened and didn't dare to dig any more, so he immediately reported it to the government. At that time, it was the Empress Dowager Hu of the Northern Wei Dynasty who was in power, and when she heard about this, she immediately ordered the living dead to be brought to court. The living dead called himself Cui Zihong, and he was buried here after his death at the age of fifteen, and for the next twelve years he felt like he was lying drunk and not eating, sometimes getting up and wandering, sometimes he encountered food and drink, but it was all like in a dream. "

Cui Zihong also said that he is a native of Anping, Boling, his father's name is Chang, his mother's surname is Wei, and his family is in Fucaili in the west of the city. Empress Dowager Hu ordered someone to take him to find his relatives, and it was as she said. But when the messenger sent Cui Zihong home, his father lit a fire and held a knife, and his mother held a peach stick, and said to Cui Zihong, "Don't come here, I'm not your parents, and you're not my son, leave quickly." ’"

At the end of the story, Cui Zihong ended up in the local Fengzhongli, which is the so-called funeral street, and then disappeared. According to people who have seen him, Cui Zihong is very afraid of the sun, and he does not dare to look up at the sky, water, fire, and blades...... Thinking of his parents lighting a knife and holding a peach stick, what do you think Cui Zihong is?".

Ye Thirteen said: "Listening to you say this, it is indeed very much like a vampire, but Cui Zihong did not bite people and suck blood, and he is the only case, right?"

Yi Qing said: "You are wrong, Cui Zihong is just a 'living' case, because later when the monks rebuilt the wild graves, they found that many of the dilapidated tombs were corpses with separate heads, scorched heads, and hearts pierced by peach wood nails!

"Let's analyze it more deeply, how did Cui Zihong's parents know how to drive him away? There must be someone to help him! So can we understand this story as a large-scale vampire incident that happened to occur in the local area, and it happened that the masters of the Western Regions passed by and eradicated the vampires, so that Cui Zihong's parents survived, but in the face of the transformed son, they couldn't cut off his head and burn him, so they only buried the son in the grave and suppressed it by the temple. "

"Twelve years after the departure of the master, the monk who guarded the temple changed a few times, and did not understand the original situation, and only found Cui Zihong, who was half-dead......, when repairing the wild tomb!

Taishi Genggu, who quietly listened to Yi Qing's tirade, laughed:

"Miss Yi is both talented and thoughtful, and she is really powerful! Yes! Blood ghosts have been killed and slaughtered endlessly since ancient times, but they have never caused a catastrophe in the eastern land, and this is also a part of the strength of our monks for the common people in the world!"

"However, I have also heard that the blood ghosts have caused an uproar in the countries of the Western Regions, killing many mortals, and it took years of conquest to quell them, and then once the blood ghosts are discovered, they will be burned in public, which slowly forces them to go underground and survive in secret. "

Night Thirteen didn't understand, and he looked around at the crowd, "According to you, have vampires always existed?".

Taishi Genggu replied: "Of course, as far as I know, these blood ghosts come from the west, endlessly, if it weren't for our monks and other monks to kill them quickly, maybe the eastern land would have been ruined! You know, although the blood ghosts are not strong, they have existed for a longer time than us, even much longer!"

"I don't know when this ghost girl was born, but one thing is certain, the spirit weapon she made just now is not a lineage of the East Soil, or even a method in this realm! If it is really as the ghost girl said, there will be blood ghosts in her generation...... Hehe, I'm afraid that everything I know will be completely subverted!".

Yi Qing nodded approvingly:

"If you want to find a clue to a vampire in the most widely circulated book, it's the Shangjing. It is said that the third human in the world, Cain, was the first vampire, and Cain was punished by the Lord after killing his brother, and became an immortal monster who had to feed on the blood of the living!".

And what's even more terrifying is that after his exile, he was the first woman of his father Adam — yes, you read that right, Adam's first wife was not Eve, but Lilith. She seduced Cain and told him how to turn blood into power, so in a way, maybe Lilith was the first vampire!".

"According to Honglian, the age of her birth was three generations ago, that is, nearly 390,000 years ago—and all this, as recorded in the Sutra, was almost 440,000 years ago!

Hong Li's face was gloomy, and he took over the conversation: "If that's the case...... Then my doubts are even more serious, because this is different from what I knew before - there is no need for the blood clan to take away the herbs at all, a mere mortal is dispensable to them, why should they come all the way from the Western Regions to take people here?".

Yi Qing said: "Yes! Actually, the question is not whether there are vampires in the Eastern Land Kingdom, or even whether there are vampires, the question is whether they are or not, and what they are going to do when they take the vanilla?...... After all, we know one thing from what Yashen said, Vanilla is not an orphan, but from a wealthy family in Beixiong!"

Night Thirteen originally had a bunch of questions, but after hearing Yi Qing say this, he turned his gaze to the hot-headed Sword Immortal again.

Taishi Genggu felt the change in the atmosphere, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice:

"The god is only acting on orders, and he only knows one thing but does not know the other. However, there are some things that I can't tell you...... But there is one thing, we must not tell outsiders what we are talking about today, otherwise don't blame you for being ruthless!"

Taishi Genggu's words are equivalent to announcing the final end of this discussion, but Ye Thirteen and the others also got an important information, that is, if they want to find the clues of vanilla, they must first understand what she has experienced in Beixiong Kingdom.

Whether it is humans or vampires who have taken away vanilla, it must have something to do with her identity and background in the Northern Bear Country!
