Chapter 1089 Hu Zi's parents?

"Who took Xu Nian away?"

I asked anxiously, but Xu Zhengchun shook his head and said, "I don't know. He is very skilled. I only saw that he used a... very old knife."

"What did he say?" I asked again.

Xu Zhengchun did not rush to speak after hearing this, but took a deep breath and said, "He said that if you want to save people, you can go to him alone."

This sentence made me frown and my eyes narrowed slightly.

This is obviously directed at me.

But who would dare to come to me at this juncture?

Is it someone from the Zhang family in the imperial capital?

Unlikely!

Now, the power struggle has just ended. Most of the Zhang family members who have cultivation have been killed by Zhang Wudi himself. There is no way there are any remnants, let alone chasing me here.

If it is not someone from the Zhang family, who could it be? Is it someone from the martial arts

world who is after the River Map and Luo Shu, or... an enemy of my master or my senior sister?

But no matter who it is, since they have come to my door, there is no reason for me to admit it, not to mention that Xu Nian is still in his hands.

I took a deep breath and asked again: "Did that man tell me where to find him?"

"No." At this moment, Xu Zhengchun's face was pale and very weak. He just said a few words as if he had used up all his strength, but he still insisted on saying: "He only said, let you go to find him tonight?"

"Let me go to find him tonight, but didn't tell me where to find him. What does this mean?"

I frowned, then glanced at Xu Zhengchun, and said: "Uncle Xu, you are seriously injured. Why don't I send you to the town to recuperate first?"

He lost too much blood. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably have died long ago. But even so, if he can't be treated in time, he would probably be in danger.

"No, I'll just take a few days to recuperate." Xu Zhengchun shook his head, and then he took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket. After opening it, a strong smell of blood immediately wafted out.

Before I came to the Xu family, I smelled a bloody smell. Later, Xu Zhengchun swallowed a pill like this in front of me. At that time, I wanted to know what kind of pill it was and what effect it had?

However, since we didn't have a very close relationship, I didn't ask. At this moment, he took it out again, and I couldn't help asking, "What kind of medicine is this?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhengchun didn't say anything, but poured out a black and red pill and swallowed it in one gulp. After taking a long breath, he looked at me and asked, "You should have seen my Xu family's ancestor, right?"

"Yes." I nodded, without any concealment.

But then, I was suddenly shocked.

"Could it be that... the pills that Xu Zhengchun took are what he needs to swallow to turn himself into a living corpse?"

I was shocked, and Xu Zhengchun seemed to see through my thoughts. He smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Qian Yu, you misunderstood. The pills I took are made from the blood of roosters, black dogs and other positive livestock. They can suppress corpse poison. In other words, they are used to suppress the corpse qi in the body."

I was puzzled and asked, "But why do you want to take this? Is there corpse qi in your body?"

"Yes." He nodded, "Not only me, but everyone in our Xu family has a lot of corpse qi and corpse poison in their bodies."

"Is it because... the corpse aura emitted from the underground space is too strong?"

That underground space is right below the Xu family mansion. There are so many living corpses sleeping underneath, and each of them emits a strong corpse aura. If an ordinary person lives here, it will probably take a long time for them to get seriously ill. Those with weak bodies may die suddenly.

Even if they are practicing, they will definitely not be able to withstand the long-term invasion of corpse aura.

To my surprise, Xu Zhengchun actually shook his head and directly denied my guess.

Then he said, "During the last turmoil in the ancient tomb, although your master borrowed the Zen staff held by the abbot of Putuo Temple and successfully suppressed the turmoil in the ancient tomb, my Xu family still suffered heavy losses, especially in the later period of the cultivation and blessing of the formation, two zombies that appeared out of nowhere suddenly rose up and bit many of my Xu family members. These two With the brutality of the zombies and the sneak attack, some of the Xu family members were caught off guard and died on the spot. Others were bitten and infected with corpse poison, which accumulated in their bodies. It wasn't long before they began to transform into corpses. I had no choice but to refine medicine to suppress the corpse poison in their bodies and delay the transformation. "

Speaking of this, Xu Zhengchun suddenly coughed violently.

As he coughed, the wound on his chest began to bleed again. Seeing this, Hu Zi took out a bag of powdered medicine from his pocket, tore it open, and smeared the powder directly on Xu Zhengchun's wound.

Xu Zhengchun took a breath of cold air, then nodded to Hu Zi and said, "Thank you."

"This is the trauma medicine my master gave me. It has the effects of stopping bleeding and reducing inflammation, and it can also make wounds heal quickly. It's priceless. You owe me a favor."

After Hu Zi finished speaking, he took out another pill and stuffed it into Xu Zhengchun's mouth, and continued: "This accelerates the regeneration of blood. Don't worry, you won't die with these two medicines."

After Xu Zhengchun swallowed the pill, he exhaled a long breath, and then continued: "As far as I know, there should be no zombies in the ancient tomb except the one in the coffin and several deputy generals. However, these two zombies that suddenly appeared were neither in the coffin nor the deputy generals. So where did they come from?"

At this point, Xu Zhengchun A hint of deep doubt appeared in his eyes. "During this period of time, I have been investigating the origins of the two zombies, but I have found nothing. They seem to have suddenly appeared in the ancient tomb, which is extremely mysterious. Moreover, although they no longer have the sanity they had in their lifetime, for some reason, they seem to be full of hatred towards my Xu family. Every time our Xu family enters the ancient tomb, they will be attacked by them. What makes me even more strange is that the existence in the ancient tomb actually ignores them, as if... they are part of the ancient tomb."

What Xu Zhengchun said should have nothing to do with Xu Nian being abducted. If it were usual, I might have lost the heart to listen.

However, at this moment, I did not open my mouth to interrupt Xu Zhengchun.

Because the moment he mentioned the two zombies, I already had a guess in my mind.

And I think my guess is very likely to be correct.

The two zombies that mysteriously appeared should be...Hu Zi's parents!
