Chapter 764 - A Walking Zombie
Sea is mysterious for anyone.
After all, a large area of the earth is the sea and the sea could be land many years ago. Maybe a lot of secrets are hidden in there. Therefore, plenty of people will go into the sea for adventure every year, which is a very interesting thing. For some forward-thinking people, it won’t be a big deal to risk their lives seeking true knowledge, finding the truth and figuring out something others don’t know.
Gao Ge is still surprised to hear Heaven Dragon say that there is a tomb under the sea near Red Fish Village.
He thought Heaven Dragon’s words were nonsense. After all, that is too big a project. However, as Heaven Dragon said, if it is an imperial tomb, everything is explainable then. Take the First Emperor of Qin for example. Didn’t his tomb take labor resources and material resources? Yet, for the sake of stability after death, the emperors wouldn’t care about that. As to whether it would be overloaded for the national finance, they didn’t care at all. After all, they were dead. What happened after they died was irrelevant to them.
Of course, not every emperor could do that.
After all, not every emperor of every dynasty was very rich and powerful.
Take the late Ming Dynasty for instance. The emperor had to listen to the cabinet on everything. The grand secretary did almost everything that the emperor should do. Besides, as to what the emperor should do or should not do, it was also up to them to decide. In this case, could the grand secretary agree with the emperor to build such an imperial tomb?
Of course it was impossible.
“Who is the emperor buried here?” Gao Ge asks.
“Why don’t you ask yourself? Don’t make it sound like that I’ve dug the tomb,” Heaven Dragon says.
Gao Ge is lost for words.
This is probably why Gao Ge likes roasting Heaven Dragon.
Heaven Dragon probably needs roasting...
Gao Ge cannot think of another explanation.
The way Gao Ge gazes at him looks a bit weird. Heaven Dragon coughs and says, “I only know that there is an imperial tomb but I really don’t know which emperor it belongs to. Well, it should be an emperor of the Song Dynasty.”
“Does the emperor have anything to do with the Ghost Sect?” Gao Ge asks.
“Of course yes,” Heaven Dragon says, “We guess that the Ghost Sect was established at that time and that it was initially aimed to guard the imperial tomb. Yet, we can’t be sure of whether it is the truth. We can only say that it is highly possible. After all, the Ghost Sect is always very mysterious. We cannot be sure of their real situation.”
Gao Ge shakes his head.
He doesn’t care about these things at all. Besides, it doesn’t matter to him which emperor the Ghost Sect has anything to do with!
They are here in Red Fish Village only to find the Ghost Sect and exterminate it.
As to these trivial things, they are insignificant to Gao Ge.
Seeing Gao Ge’s facial expression, Heaven Dragon seems to have seen through his thought and then says with a frown, “Your thought is wrong. Do you think these things are inessential? Wrong! You are wrong! As an old saying goes, if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be put at risk even in a hundred battles. Our goal is to exterminate the Ghost Sect but before that, we also need to know about them. Understand?”
Gao Ge coughs.
He doesn’t like Heaven Dragon but what Heaven Dragon said kind of wakes him up.
Thinking of that, he also finds that he was being a bit hasty.
Knowing the enemy is still very necessary.
historical
“Do we also need to figure out whose imperial tomb it is?” Gao Ge asks.
“Why bother? We only want to exterminate the Ghost Sect.”
Gao Ge is shocked.
What the heck?
Didn’t Heaven Dragon talk so much about knowing the enemy?
“Enough. If you have time, you may as well find the original body in the coffin first. Otherwise, more villagers will die,” Heaven Dragon says.
Gao Ge knits his eyebrows.
Where can he find the body?
“The thing in the coffin has become a walking corpse. It has probably been at the realm of Strength Protection.”
According to Heaven Dragon, the walking corpse’s capability is just average. It is at the realm of Strength Protection only.
“But I think it is a good opportunity,” Heaven says with a smile.
All the people just gaze at Heaven Dragon in confusion.
However, Gao Ge seems to have understood what he means and then says in surprise, “You mean the people of the Ghost Sect are also interested in the walking corpse?”
“Of course. That is what the people of the Ghost Sect do. Now that there is a walking corpse, how can they not be interested? Besides, do you think it is easy for a walking corpse to come into being? You must have watched too many movies? If one can really become a walking corpse after death so easily, won’t there be a lot of corpses running about? Will they have to queue up for the toilet?” Heaven Dragon says, “The formation of a walking corpse requires favorable climatic, geographical and human conditions. It not only requires a particular burial place but also needs Yin Qi to be absorbed around. Apart from that, various kinds of specific conditions are also required so that the body can become a walking corpse.”
Gao Ge takes a tumble and also understands what Heaven Dragon means.
In this case, the people of the Ghost Sect will not let go of such a good opportunity indeed.
If they acquire a walking corpse and manage to refine it well, maybe it will be even stronger than a Ghost King.
After all, it is much harder to find a walking corpse than a ghost.
If he were a member of the Ghost Sect, he wouldn’t let go of the opportunity either then.
“Here you are.” Heaven Dragon takes out a watch-like thing and gives it to Gao Ge.
Gao Ge puts it on his wrist and looks at the pointer moving back and forth.
“What’s this? Is it a Rolex watch?”
Heaven Dragon answers, “With this, you can find the walking corpse as long as you follow the direction of the arrow.”
Gao Ge nods. He is a bit confused why Heaven Dragon has to assign the task to him, but he doesn’t ask about it.
“You must find it before dawn,” Heaven Dragon says with a long face.
Gao Ge rolls his eyes but he cannot do anything about it. He has no other choice but to walk out with the “watch”.
After Gao Ge leaves, Fire Dragon whispers to Heaven Dragon, “Did you deliberately send Gao Ge away with an excuse?”
“Or else? His being here is the greatest variate,” Heaven Dragon flares his nostrils and says, “But I didn’t lie to him. If he can find the walking corpse, it will be of great use to us.”
Fire Dragon laughs and nods. It is hard to tell whether he believes Heaven Dragon’s words or not.
