Chapter 17 Corpse Farm
Qi Xuansu agreed and decided to go to this "tuntian" to do "weeding" work.
The shopkeeper smiled and gave many other precautions.
The predecessor of this ruin was one of the corpse-raising sites of the first generation of geomancers. After Xuansheng revived Taoism, this place was first attributed to Quanzhen Taoism, and later to Huashengtang. Later, it was banned by Taoism and guarded by the upper level. Taoists settled here and gradually formed a huge workshop under the name of Huashengtang, covering an area comparable to that of a county town.
After the Zhiming Sect learned about it, they infiltrated from many sides and successfully turned this place into a ghost den by taking advantage of the natural advantages of the corpse-raising site. The sensation caused at that time was far greater than the Lingshan Witch Sect breaking a flying boat.
The Dao Sect had no choice but to destroy it by violent means, but many things were left in it, so the Dao Sect carried out a preliminary cleanup afterwards and brought back some secrets, but for various reasons, many secrets were left here, making it a "military farm".
After the "inn" took over this "military farm" through connections, it was committed to digging out the various "legacy" left by Huashengtang and the first generation of geomancers, and made some small gains, especially the Eight Divisions and Zhiming Sect, who were very interested in these things, which was the motivation for the "inn" to spend manpower and material resources to "weed" every year.
The shopkeeper was frank and open, and the dangers were also explained in detail. The celestial beings must come and go freely, and there should be no big problems in the return to the true stage. After all, they were dealing with some zombies, not the monsters of Zhiming Sect. The Yuxu stage would be more difficult, but as long as they were careful, there should be no big problems.
Qi Xuansu thought to himself that he could be regarded as a master of most of the return to the true stage, so it should not be a problem, so he agreed.
The specific time is tomorrow, mainly because the staff of the head office will arrive tomorrow, and then they will go to "weed" without stopping. They don't want to stay in the vast Gobi Desert for a long time. It's better to go to the warm Jiangnan.
After discussing these serious matters, Qi Xuansu left the shopkeeper's signing room and went to Qin Xiang's residence.
Qin Xiang once lived here for two days and was quite comfortable.
Seeing Qi Xuansu coming in, Qin Xiang hurriedly asked: "Have you finished your business?"
"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 for a long time, you will explain your identity to the shopkeeper here. Although I dare not guarantee it, I am 50% sure that he will help you contact Qingluan Guard."
"Only 50% sure?" Qin Xiang frowned.
Qi Xuansu said angrily and amusedly: "Don't be ungrateful. What do you think of the 'inn'? Pujitang? They are a real secret society that deals in murder. It is mainly because they have some relationship with Qingluanwei that they are 50% sure. If it were other secret societies, they would not even be 50% sure."
"You mean a secret society? Is this also a secret society?" 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 instructed: "County Lord, as long as the society is on the Taoist's 'Secret Society List', there is no good person. You'd better not reveal your identity unless it is absolutely necessary. No one knows what will happen. They may send you back, or they may make a fortune from you. It's just a matter of their thoughts. Do you understand?"
"Understand, understand." Qin Xiang, who had seen the Eight Divisions, was a little scared.
"That's all, there's nothing else." Qi Xuansu turned around and planned to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Qin Xiang suddenly spoke again.
"What else?" Qi Xuansu stopped and turned to ask.
Qin Xiang hesitated for a moment, full of hope: "You, you will come back?"
Qi Xuansu knew that the county lady regarded him as a life-saving straw, so he had to 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 the people coming from the head office, but since the people coming from the head office do not plan to stay for a long time, it is a bargain for Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu walked into an empty room and began his daily practice.
On the second day, Qi Xuansu woke up from his meditation and went downstairs to find that there were more unfamiliar faces in the lobby of the inn. They should be hired people from the rivers and lakes like him.
Some of these people were dozing on the table, and I don't know if they hadn't slept all night or hadn't woken up yet; some were eating breakfast, steamed buns, porridge, and pickles; some were checking their weapons and bags, with a solemn look; some got up early in the morning to drink, and didn't seem nervous at all; some sat upright, but closed their eyes and pretended to be asleep; and some were holding a pipe and puffing out smoke.
There were all kinds of things, all kinds of strange things.
The shopkeeper must have spent a lot of effort to gather so many people from the underworld.
At about the end of the Mao hour, the people from the main store of the inn also arrived. However, there was really no master style from this group of people. Some were dressed as porters, some were dressed as peasant women, one was holding an abacus, and looked like a businessman doing business, and there was even a little monkey squatting on his shoulder, who seemed to be performing monkey shows. There were men, women, young and old, everything.
This group of people was full of the atmosphere of the market and fireworks, which was very suitable for the name of "inn".
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 ruined 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.
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 raised, it is related to 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 change into corpses 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, is 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 refining in large quantities.
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 body of a martial artist, tempered it with various talismans, secret medicines, and spells, and put it on the body. 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 Shitian" 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 places were left over from the first generation of earth masters in the process of developing "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 are opportunities 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.
