Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu agreed and decided to go to this "field" to carry out "weeding" work.

The shopkeeper had a smile on his face and explained many other things to pay attention to.

The predecessor of this ruins was one of the places where the corpses of the first earth masters were raised. After Xuansheng Zhongxing Daomen, this place was first placed under the name of Quanzhen Taoism, and later it was placed under the name of Huashengtang, and later it was classified by Taoism. It was sealed and guarded above, and some Taoist people settled here, gradually forming a huge workshop under the name of Huashengtang, covering an area comparable to a county town.

After the Zhiming Cult learned about it, they infiltrated from all sides and took advantage of the natural advantages of the corpse raising ground to successfully turn the place into a ghost. The sensation caused at that time was far greater than the Lingshan Witch Cult breaking a flying boat.

Daomen had no choice but to use violent means to destroy it, but there were still many things left in it, so Daomen carried out preliminary cleaning afterwards and brought back some secrets. However, due to various reasons, there were still many secrets It was left here and became a "farm".

After the "Inn" took over this "farm" through connections, it devoted itself to excavating the various "legacies" left by Huashengtang and the first generation of Earth Masters, and achieved small gains, especially the Eight Tribes and the Zhiming Sect. For these things I'm very interested. This is the motivation behind the "Inn" that spends manpower and material resources to "weed" every year.

The shopkeeper can be said to be open and honest, and the dangers involved were also explained in detail. Heavenly beings must come and go freely, and there should be no big problem in the return to true stage. After all, they are dealing with some living corpses, not monsters from the Zhiming Cult. The Yuxu stage will have to It's a bit difficult, but as long as you're careful, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Qi Xuansu thought that it would not be a problem since he could be considered a master in the stage of returning to his true nature, so he agreed.

The specific time is tomorrow, mainly because the manpower from the head office will not arrive until tomorrow, and then they will go straight to "weeding" without stopping, finishing the work early and finishing the work early. They don't want to stay in the vast Gobi for a longer time and change to warm and moist ones. Jiangnan is pretty much the same.

After talking about these business matters, Qi Xuansu left the shopkeeper's room and went to Qin Xiang's residence.

Qin Xiang once lived here for two days, and he was quite comfortable.

Seeing Qi Xuansu come in, Qin Xiang hurriedly asked: "Have you finished your work?"

"I'm afraid it will take a few days." Qi Xuansu said, "I came here to tell you something. If I don't come back, you will explain your identity to the shopkeeper here. Although I dare not guarantee it, but I am 50% sure that he will help you contact Qingluan Guard."

"Only 50% sure?" Qin Xiang frowned.

Qi Xuansu said angrily and funny: "Don't be dissatisfied. What do you think is an 'inn'? Pujitang? They are a real secret society, and they are engaged in the business of killing people. It is mainly because they have some relationship with Qingluan Guards. There is a 50% certainty, but if it were other secret societies, there wouldn’t even be a 50% certainty.”

"You mean a secret society? Is this a secret society too?" Qin Xiang couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.

Qi Xuansu then remembered that Qin Xiang still regarded this place as an ordinary inn, so he roughly told Qin Xiang the background of the "inn" and told Qin Xiang: "County Lord, as long as it is an association listed on the Taoist 'Secret Association List' , there is no such thing as a good thing. It is best not to reveal your identity unless you have to. No one knows what will happen. They may send you back, or they may use you to make a small sum of money. It just depends on their thoughts. Time, do you understand?”

"Ming, understand." Qin Xiang, who had already seen the eight tribesmen, was a little frightened.

"That's it, there's nothing else." Qi Xuansu turned around and planned to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Qin Xiang suddenly said again.

"Is there anything else?" Qi Xuansu stopped, turned around and asked.

Qin Xiang hesitated for a moment, then said hopefully: "You, will you come back?"

Qi Xuansu knew that the county chief was treating him as a life-saving straw, so he could only say: "I will try my best."

Qin Xiang was still worried: "You will definitely come back, right?"

Qi Xuansu said helplessly: "As long as I am still alive."

Qin Xiang whispered: "It's okay."

Qi Xuansu turned and left Qin Xiang's room.

As the shopkeeper said, there are many guest rooms on the second floor, which should be prepared for people coming from the main store. However, since the people coming from the main store do not plan to stay for a long time, Qi Xuansu is getting an advantage.

Qi Xuansu walked into an empty room and started practicing every day.

On the second day, Qi Xuansu woke up from his trance. When he went downstairs, he found that there were some new faces in the lobby of the inn. They should be all hired Jianghu people like him.

Some of these people were dozing on the table, not knowing whether they had not slept all night or they had not woken up; some were eating breakfast, steamed buns, porridge and pickles; some were checking their weapons and shoulder bags with solemn expressions; some were so early in the morning They drank as soon as they got up, and there was no trace of nervousness at all; some were sitting upright with their eyes closed and dozing off; some were holding a smoking pot and puffing away smoke.

There are all kinds of strange things.

It must have taken a lot of effort for the shopkeeper to gather so many Jianghu people.

Around the end of the afternoon, people from the inn's main store also arrived. However, there is really no expert demeanor from this group of people. Some are dressed as porters, some are dressed as peasant women, one is holding an abacus and looks like a businessman doing business, and there is also a little monkey with his head crouched on his shoulders, as if he is playing monkey. Childish. Men, women, old and young, everything.

This group of people is full of market atmosphere and fireworks, which fits the name of the "inn" very well.

The innkeeper came forward and exchanged some pleasantries with the old man leading the nine people, and then introduced the nine people to other hired people.

After all, he is an expert in the stage of returning to his true form, and there are still nine of them. They are more powerful than Yaoguangxuan, which was just established. This shows that "Inn" attaches great importance to this matter. Whether others are intimidated by their cultivation level or afraid of "Inn" In itself, it's nothing thorny.

Finally, the shopkeeper clasped his fists to everyone and said, "I hope you all go safely and come back safely."

Under the leadership of the old man, everyone left the inn and headed outside the city.

…

The West Gobi is called the West Gobi because it is located to the west of Cuowenbu.

"Cuowenbu" means "blue sea".

You can see how big it is.

The huge destroyed Huashengtang workshop was located on the shore of Cuowenbu. It was originally a beautiful place surrounded by mountains and rivers, but now it has become worse than the West Gobi Desert.

The strange curse of the Zhiming Cult, the "Fengyan Jiasan" of the Taoist sect, and the corpse raising ground left by the first generation of earth masters all make this place extremely dangerous.

As for the place where corpses are kept, it has to do with Feng Shui.

Ancient experts have said that it is easy to find the dragon's cave but difficult to tap the acupoints. The Burial Sutra also states that it takes three years to search for the dragon and ten years to tap the acupoints. This is true. Covering Xunlong is an unfinished situation and can be chosen at will, while tapping acupoints is a completed situation.

Speaking of acupuncture points, there are several unlucky places, namely: Qu Shuidi, Jianjilong, Aofeng Cave, Wuyan Mountain, Mingtang Fall, and Dragon and Tiger Flying.

In addition, there is a more evil place, which is called a corpse-raising place, where winds and evil spirits are hidden. If a person is buried here, not only will the body be immortal, but after a certain period of time, the body will remain immortal. They will turn into zombies, bite their family members, and kill all the people who are related to them before they are alive. Before the zombies are born, if someone comes here unintentionally and is infected by the evil spirit, they will Black sores will appear on the face.

Ordinary zombies are formed because corpses are buried in corpse raising grounds and become zombies due to their popularity. However, this is just a natural corpse raising ground and natural zombies, which take a long time to form.

Hundreds of years ago, Daomen had figured out how to control zombies from the process of eliminating zombies. However, the number of naturally formed zombies was too small and it took too long, so the method of raising zombies came into being.

To put it bluntly, the method of raising corpses is to artificially create a corpse raising ground to hide the wind and gather evil spirits, and then put the processed corpses into it, and then use the formation to stimulate it, just like fertilizing and encouraging, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly cultivating zombies. .

What's more, "breeding" methods such as hybridization and grafting have been developed in this process.

The zombie king among zombies is called the Bronze Armored Corpse.

Ordinary zombies are formed because corpses are buried in corpse-rearing grounds and become zombies due to their popularity, but bronze-armored corpses died on the battlefield during their lifetime and were buried on the battlefield after their death. Qi, after more than a hundred years of gestation, becomes invulnerable to weapons and fire after birth, and even the spells specifically used to exorcise corpses and catch ghosts are ineffective.

In terms of raising corpses, the first-generation Earth Master was a well-deserved expert. He captured a natural bronze-armored corpse and began to study the bronze-armored corpse. He tried to use human power to create more acquired bronze-armored corpses for driving, but only It's a pity that the formation of the innate bronze-armored corpse requires the right time, place, and people, and both are indispensable. Even if it can be cultivated reluctantly, the cost is too huge, so we have to settle for the second best, weakening some of the characteristics of the bronze-armored corpse, making it no longer perfect. Perfect, in exchange for the possibility of mass refining.

Based on the experience of the ancients, the first-generation Earth Master really accomplished this. He weakened the indestructible body of the bronze-armored corpse, took the warrior's corpse, tempered it through various talismans, secret medicines, and spells, and put it on The special iron armor was then buried in the corpse-raising ground, and was eventually refined into an incomplete acquired bronze armored corpse. The corpse and the armor were combined into one, and was named: "Iron Corpse".

Later, the first generation of earth masters gathered the experience of the ancient pavilion soap way and the ancient immortal way, and successively developed "Rakshasa", "Yaksha", "Asura", "Great Asura" and "Asura" on the basis of the Iron Corpse. "King", "Emperor Shakten" and other zombies.

According to legend, "Emperor Shakti" is comparable to the Drought Demon. He once defeated a ghost immortal head-on, and is comparable to the ancient immortals and the first-class innocent Taoist priests of the Taoist sect.

These corpse-raising grounds were left over by the first-generation earth masters in the process of developing the "Emperor Shakti". In addition to this place in Cuowenbu, they are also distributed in Beimang Mountain in Zhongzhou, Baidi Mausoleum in Shuzhou, and Xi'an. Later generations speculated that there were opportunities to become immortals hidden in places such as Daxue Mountain in Zhouzhou and Loulan City in Xizhou.

Nowadays, these corpse raising places have either been destroyed by Taoist sects, or completely blocked by Taoist sects. Such actions of Taoist sects have made the world more and more certain that there is an opportunity to become immortals buried in them, and the "inn" is willing to spend so much manpower and material resources. When we went to "weed", we naturally got some inside information.

However, this has nothing to do with Qi Xuansu.
