Chapter 406: The Pig's Head Butcher
The most important thing is that Liu Xing now finally knows why the driver and the female tour guide turned into such ghosts, it turned out that it was because they met a pig-headed butcher in the heavy rain.
And if nothing else, this pig-headed butcher should be related to the pig killing farm in Panlong Town.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing immediately asked: "Since this is the case, did Hu Cang say anything about the possible origin of the pig-headed butcher, after all, I can understand Hu Cang's first four ways of death, but about this pig-headed butcher, I knew that the driver and the female tour guide should have encountered it the night before." ”
Zhang Jingxu nodded, and said with a smile: "I knew that Meteor classmate you would ask this, Hu Cang did introduce the information of this pig-headed butcher just now, or the legend of this pig-headed butcher, because if the legend of this pig-headed butcher is true, then this pig-headed butcher is a murderous maniac who lived more than a hundred years ago, and his hands were stained with the blood of hundreds of people." ”
"At the end of the Qing Dynasty more than 100 years ago, although Shu was a corner of peace, the ordinary people were still living a hard life, and their lives were hard, so for the people at that time, it was not easy to eat enough, let alone eat meat, so for many children at that time, their biggest dream was to be able to become a pig slaughterer and eat free meat every day."
"And the pig-headed butcher when he was a child was naturally like this, but the pig-head butcher at that time was still called Zhang San, and he was also a native of Rongcheng, but his family was poor, and he lost his parents for some reason when he was ten years old and had to live on the streets, and then because of his physical fitness, he was adopted by a wandering acrobatic troupe, and learned acrobatics while doing chores."
"Back then, the members of those wandering acrobatic troupes, in addition to being able to do acrobatics with one hand, almost all of them had some kung fu on their bodies, after all, it was a troubled time, these wandering acrobatic troupes went south and north, and they would inevitably pass through some deep mountains and old forests, and encounter a few bandits blocking the road, or tigers and wolves, so Zhang San also followed the members of the acrobatic troupe to learn various kung fu while learning acrobatics."
"After ten years like this, Zhang San, who has good qualifications, has become the pillar of his wandering acrobatic troupe, whether it is acrobatics or martial arts, no one can beat him, so Zhang San was a little fluttering at that time, and felt that even if he couldn't become the head of the wandering acrobatic troupe, he should also get some special treatment, so Zhang San thought about it and took a few friends who thought he was good to find the head of the wandering acrobatic troupe."
"As a result, the head of the wandering acrobatic troupe is naturally impossible to agree to Zhang San, because the income of the wandering acrobatic troupe is not very good, and it is barely able to maintain the livelihood of the troupe members, if you want to meet Zhang San's requirements, then you must reduce the living expenses of other troupe members, and even need to lay off employees, which is what the head of the wandering acrobatic troupe is unwilling to do, after all, the head of the wandering acrobatic troupe feels that in this troubled world, since he has accepted these league members, he has to be responsible for these league members, and he cannot abandon these league members at will."
"Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, Zhang San saw that his request was not agreed by the head of the wandering acrobatic troupe, so he was very dissatisfied and chose to leave the wandering acrobatic troupe, and took a few fox friends and dog friends on a hill next to Panlong Town.
"Zhang San, who occupies the mountain as the king, naturally began to have some inflated mentality, and was not satisfied with robbing passing business travelers, so Zhang San went down to the nearby villages and towns to bully men and women, and robbed him of what he liked at will, and Zhang San at that time naturally remembered his childhood dream of becoming a butcher who could eat meat every day, so Zhang San ordered his subordinates to bring all the pigs that could be found nearby to the cottage, and he wanted to become a real butcher."
After all, for the local people, the pigs that they have bothered to raise for several years at home are just to be able to sell them at a good price to subsidize the family, but they were forcibly taken away by Zhang San, so the local people found an opportunity to jointly report to Rongcheng, hoping that the local officials in Rongcheng could catch Zhang San.
"It happened that Zhang San robbed a passing rich merchant at that time, and the rich businessman had a good relationship with the local officials in Rongcheng, so the local officials in Rongcheng pushed the boat down the river and sent a team of people to exterminate Zhang San's cottage, but as soon as the team arrived at Zhang San's cottage, they found that Zhang San was dead, and he was killed by a pig."
It turned out that the night before, Zhang San had a whim after drinking some wine, and his little brother had just caught a big fat pig from the bottom of the mountain, so Zhang San decided to kill the pig before it was completely dark, and then Zhang San carried a pig-killing knife, and let several drunken subordinates who were also drunk grab the pig, and then stabbed the pig in the neck with a knife. I want to bleed that pig. ”
"The pig who knew that he was dying was naturally struggling to resist, so the few men who were already drunk did not hold down the pig for a while, and the pig raised his head and roared, probably because he came up in one breath, and the pig-killing knife inserted in the pig's neck was sprayed out, directly cutting Zhang San's neck, the entire carotid artery and throat were completely cut, and the bones were deeply visible, and it didn't take long for Zhang San to lose too much blood and die."
"As for Zhang San's subordinates, after seeing Zhang San being killed by pigs inexplicably, their first reaction was not to collect Zhang San's body, but to start fighting for control of the cottage, and finally the new head of the cottage was selected to order Zhang San's body to be thrown directly to the bottom of the back mountain in order to determine his prestige, so when the officers and soldiers from Rongcheng found Zhang San's body, they found that Zhang San's body had been separated, and perhaps because of the reason that his head fell first, half of Zhang San's head was broken."
"Although I want to take Zhang San's body back to restore my life, but because Zhang San's head is really not the same, so the head of the officers and soldiers in Rongcheng came up with a bad idea, since you Zhang San and the pig are so fateful, then give Zhang San you a pig's head, so Zhang San's head was stuffed into a pig's head, and then sewn together with the corpse, sent back to Rongcheng, and finally casually discarded in the mass grave next to Rongcheng."
"But not two days later, because Rongcheng ushered in a thunderstorm, it rained for three days and three nights, causing a landslide, and Zhang San's body was washed away with the mudslide, and he has not been seen since, but near Rongcheng, it began to spread the legend that in the rainy night, a pig-headed butcher held a pig-killing knife to kill people everywhere, and this pig-headed butcher is considered to be the dead Zhang San."
After listening to Zhang Jingxu's story, Liu Xing couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect the story of this pig-headed butcher to be so dramatic, a bandit leader who killed people like hemp, and was also a bandit leader who killed pigs like hemp, was killed by a pig in the end, and finally was sewn with a pig's head.
However, this also made Liu Xing very sure that Zhang San must have been extremely angry after his death, and then because he was exposed to a mass grave and was struck by lightning in a thunderstorm and resurrected, he became a pig-headed butcher.
Therefore, Liu Xing thinks that the essence of the pig-headed butcher should be a zombie.
However, when he thought of zombies, Liu Xing felt a little toothache, after all, according to the setting in Chinese folklore, zombies can be very strong or weak.
The strongest level of zombies, then it must be the legendary zombie king general, but it is worth mentioning that the general is not recorded in ancient legends, it should be a mythical creature made up by modern people, but because its setting is relatively perfect, plus some movies and TV series have fueled the flames, so the general has become a representative of the zombie, and in some of the Chinese localized Cthulhu running group game mods, the general has naturally become an old ruler.
Because according to the relevant setting, the general is the ancestor of the vampire zombie, which is changed from the body of the ancient divine beast, and the ancient divine beast is a terrifying existence on the same level as Nuwa Fuxi, which shows how powerful the general's ability is, and because the general has no soul and no soul, he is not in the five elements, jumping out of the Three Realms, and ordinary means cannot deal with the general at all.
Therefore, the zombies of the descendants of the generals have inherited some characteristics of the generals, which are reflected in the Cthulhu Run group game, that is, they will not be affected by mental attacks, there will be no panic, fear and other emotions, the damage caused by some attacks will be reduced or even zeroed, and after a successful attack, the attacker will be transformed into a new zombie within a certain period of time.
As for the lower limit of zombies, it should be like some Qing Dynasty zombies in funny horror movies, they can only move in the dark by jumping around, and they can be damaged by using glutinous rice or black dog blood.
However, judging from the legend of the pig-headed butcher, he can't be the descendant of the zombie king's generals, but he is not like an ordinary zombie, so Liu Xing still can't guess the ability of the pig-headed butcher.
At this time, Ishikawa Ling suddenly said: "In this case, this pig-headed butcher is the legendary zombie, but this pig-headed butcher shouldn't be a blood-sucking zombie like a general, right?" After all, this pig-headed butcher has already moved his head. ”
Hearing Ishikawa Ling mention "generals", Liu Xing recalled the memory of "Watanabe Meteor", and was surprised to find that in this parallel world, the title of "zombie king generals" was actually handed down from ancient legends, rather than made up by modern people.
This means that there are really zombie kings and generals in this parallel world.
Liu Xing suddenly had a premonition that he would meet the zombie king and generals in the future.
"As far as the current situation is concerned, the pig-headed butcher should be an ordinary zombie who was affected by lightning and turned into a corpse, but because this pig-headed butcher was very angry before he died, and his own physical fitness was already good, the pig-headed butcher should be regarded as an elite-level zombie, and from the point of view that the pig-headed butcher uses the pig-killing knife as a weapon, the pig-headed butcher has also recovered a certain level of sanity, which is higher than those zombies who only know how to act by instinct." Zhang Jingxu said seriously.
At this moment, KP Xuefeng stood up and said: "Since you players already know the pig-headed butcher so well, then now a new side quest has been triggered - eliminate the evil, the mission goal is to kill the pig-headed butcher Zhang San again, this side quest will have a total of 100 'truth' points, 1000 points of reward, will be distributed according to the performance of the players participating in this side quest, if there are players who do not work, then there will be no reward at all." ”
This is a typical work-intensive task, which eliminates the lack of effort from some paddling players.
But to be honest, Liu Xing doesn't really want to complete this side quest, after all, according to the description of this side quest, he must forcibly kill a mythical creature at least the elite level, which is too dangerous for Liu Xing, who is now unarmed and has only five combat power.
Therefore, Liu Xing felt that he should still be cowardly, and not gamble on his luck.
So, Liu Xing opened his mouth and said: "In that case, then we should not have too much contact with that pig-headed butcher, so as not to have senseless sacrifices, anyway, as long as we don't act in the heavy rain, we won't meet that pig-headed butcher." ”
However, as soon as Liu Xing's voice fell, Ishikawa Ling stood up to do something, "Actually, I think it's necessary for us to solve the pig-headed butcher, after all, just like you said, that pig-headed butcher will only act in the heavy rain, so I suspect that this pig-headed butcher is very likely to be specially summoned to the town by the old ruler, so although killing that pig-headed butcher may not be able to completely solve the problem of time and space disorder, it should also help, What's more, Mr. Zhang Jingxu is a Taoist priest who specializes in restraining zombies. ”
Zhang Jingxu raised his eyebrows, and said helplessly: "No, no, no, Ishikawa Ling, you may have watched too many zombie movies, not all Taoist priests have a way to deal with zombies, after all, the Taoist profession also has many branches, such as those who specialize in dealing with undead creatures such as zombies, those who specialize in dealing with immortals like Hu Li, and those who deal with all kinds of ghosts and ghosts like me, so I specialize in the art industry, if I am asked to deal with ordinary zombies, then I still have some confidence, But if I had to deal with an elite-level zombie like the Pig-headed Butcher, then I would have to say something else. ”
"But I still agree with you, Ishikawa Ling, this pig-headed butcher is most likely the old ruler came to watch the door, after all, this pig-headed butcher will only act in the heavy rain, which means that there is something in the heavy rain that needs to be guarded by the pig-headed butcher to prevent us from being discovered, so we still need to go to the pig-headed butcher for a while, but we can't go to the pig-headed butcher in the heavy rain, because it is self-defeating."
Liu Xing nodded, since Ishikawa Ling and Zhang Jingxu both wanted to complete this side task, then they had to sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman, after all, Liu Xing didn't want to be left alone.
Therefore, Liu Xing opened his mouth and said: "In this case, then we can find an opportunity to go to the pig killing farm during the day, after all, the most likely place for the pig-head butcher to exist is the pig killing farm, and according to the setting of zombies, even if it is an elite-level zombie, the combat effectiveness will drop sharply during the day." ”
Zhang Jingxu nodded, and said with a smile: "That's right, sure enough, the hero sees the same thing, I think so too, and the elite-level zombies will also be dormant during the day, we can completely fight a first, since you all agree to deal with the pig-headed butcher now, then I will go and discuss with Li Dian and them how to do it first." ”
After speaking, Zhang Jingxu chatted with Li Dian.
After a while, Zhang Jingxu happily turned around and said: "It's done, Li Dian and Wan Chongshan are willing to attack the pig-headed butcher, after all, if we do nothing, we won't be able to get out of this time-and-space disordered Panlong Town, and Hu Cang also provided us with a clue, for more information about the pig-headed butcher, we can go to Zhong Rensan, the director of the Panlong Town Health Center, to understand, because Zhong Rensan's grandfather once saw the pig-headed butcher with his own eyes." ”
At this moment, Xiao Mochen suddenly walked into the clinic, first looked at Liu Xing and the others with some doubts, and then said something to Hu Cang with some nervousness.
Obviously, Xiao Mochen at this point in time did not know Liu Xing and others, and Liu Xing also specially observed Xiao Mochen and found that Xiao Mochen still had an Adam's apple at this point in time.
Therefore, Xiao Mochen at this point in time has not yet been turned into a woman by Hu Li.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but look at Xiao Mochen with a look of pity, this poor child didn't know that he was about to be forced to transgender...
"Xiao Mochen came to invite Hu Cang to attend his wedding with Hu Li at this time, this time Hu Cang has agreed, and Xiao Mochen also said that he invited us to go together, and Zhong Rensan will also be there, and we can go to Zhong Rensan to have a good chat when the time comes." Zhang Jingxu opened his mouth and said.
Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "That's very good, but then again, do we have any gifts for the newcomers?" After all, if we go to Xiao Mochen and Hu Li's wedding without gifts, it will be too rude. ”
Zhang Jingxu's smile gradually disappeared.
As Liu Xing said, Liu Xing and his party originally went to find the ancients, so they just brought some clothes with them, and although Li Dian and Wan Chongshan are tourists, Liu Xing feels that as players, they should not have anything on them that can be used as gifts, or that what can be used as gifts are props, I am afraid that Li Dian and Wan Chongshan should be reluctant.
After Xiao Mochen said a few more words to Hu Cang, he turned around and left, after all, Xiao Mochen is the groom's official, and he has a lot to do today.
PS: I'm starting to try 5000 words a day...
