Chapter 188: Tiangang Ruler
When a person dies, there is a very small chance that the corpse will turn into a zombie.
When it comes to zombies, the first thing that comes to mind in the minds of many Chinese people is probably the Qing Dynasty zombies in film and television works in the last century.
Dressed in a riding coat and hat, with his arms stretched straight in front of him, his pigtails swing as he jumps, and a piece of talisman paper is attached to his forehead to make him stand still.
In fact, the zombies depicted in these works are largely borrowed from the images of Western vampires and zombies, plus a certain amount of artistic processing.
The real zombies are far more hideous and terrifying than in film and television works, and they will definitely not be so stiff and even a little funny when they act, and it is even more nonsense to eat human flesh and drink human blood.
What zombies absorb is, to be precise, the essence of people.
Essence is the foundation of life, and if a person's essence is sucked dry, it will naturally not survive, and the corpse will appear shriveled.
The fancy of turning a corpse into a zombie can be described as varied, such as being infected with corpse poison, borrowing the yang energy of the living, feng shui patterns, shining on the moonlight, being possessed by evil spirits and other evil things, being struck by lightning, etc., all of which may catalyze the corpse to become stiff.
In general, there are two main causes of stiffening: the mutation of new corpses and the long-term non-decay of burials.
What appeared in front of Xuanwei and Puji at this moment undoubtedly belonged to the latter, because the corpse was made into a dried corpse, which did not decay for a long time, and gradually turned into a zombie.
And it's not just an ordinary zombie that just stiffens up!
The zombie's body has begun to grow hair again, and the dry flesh and flesh are faintly visible with a stone-like luster, and there is no stagnation in every move.
According to Xuan Wei's inference, this should be a zombie that has just turned into a stiff body!
Mao Stiff is dressed in copper skin and iron bones, jumping vertically like flying, not afraid of fire and sunshine, far from being comparable to ordinary white zombies and green zombies.
It is rumored that if Mao Zhuang is successful in cultivation, he can turn into a flying zombie who can fly into the sky, is good at spells, and his body is not bad.
If Fei Zombie goes one step further, it will no longer be a "corpse", but a big demon like "Lu" and "Xuan"!
If there is a flying zombie in front of him, or a hair zombie that is about to turn into a flying zombie, Xuan Wei will definitely not say a word, help Puji and turn around and leave, but the hair zombie that has just been transformed, Xuan Wei does not look at it.
"Ancestor, is it your old man, are you really alive?" said the woman who was paralyzed on the ground in fright, and looked at Mao Zhuang tremblingly.
Mao Zhuang's eyes lit up with a red light as red as dansha, and his teeth that were as exposed as sharp blades grinned, and a pungent bloody breath suddenly surged out of his mouth.
Sen Ran's hook claws glowed with a ghostly light, and the stiff hair suddenly grabbed the woman on the ground, if this grasp was real, the consequences could be imagined.
Not to mention that the claws contain fierce corpse poison, the sharpness of the claws alone is enough to disembowel a woman.
"Go!" Xuanwei was already on guard, and let out a low shout, driving the summoned Tiangang ruler to hit Mao Zhuang.
The Tiangang ruler is four-sided and six-sided, and the surface of the whole body is engraved with golden sun, moon and stars and dense inscriptions to ward off evil spirits, which is no less than Tianke for Mao Zhuang.
Mao Zhuang's reaction was extremely fast, and after sensing the huge threat posed by the Tiangang Ruler, the hook claw quickly returned to his chest, and then slapped heavily at the attacking Tiangang Ruler.
The corpse qi swept towards the Tiangang ruler with the fishy wind, but just as the two came into contact, the golden stars on the surface of the Tiangang ruler suddenly burst out with a glittering glow, and the phantoms of the inscriptions to ward off evil spirits floated out from the ruler, forming a barrier like an entity.
Laugh at~~~
The moment the corpse qi touched the inscription, it quickly melted away like snow seeing the sun.
Mao Zhuang howled angrily, and the hook claw, which was already emitting green smoke, increased its strength again, and it was able to swing the Tiangang magic ruler away.
Xuanwei's body that drove the Tiangang ruler shook, and Rao is ruler had a good restraint effect on Mao Zhuang, but Mao Zhuang's natural brute strength still made Xuanwei uncomfortable.
"If you drag it on, something will definitely happen, you have to fight quickly!" Xuan Wei made a decision in an instant, frantically squeezing the only remaining aura in his body.
Before, the use of the escape method to rush and the arrangement of the gossip array consumed a lot of Xuanwei's aura and energy, it can be said that the current Xuanwei is almost the end of the strong crossbow, and Puji next to him is even more powerless at the moment, if Xuanwei can't take down this stiff body in a short time, maybe the two of them really have to explain here!
"Lingbao talisman, proclaim for nine days. Qianluo Tana, Donggang Taixuan. Slay the demons and bind the evil, and the ferocity dissipates. Xuan Wei pinched the trick with his left hand, made a sword finger with his right hand, and the Tiangang magic ruler suspended on his chest swallowed the stars and ganghui, and the inscriptions around him became clearer and clearer.
Mao Zhuang was obviously a little impetuous, and he had awakened a little bit of wisdom and could judge the power of Xuanwei's next blow, which was enough to crush it to ashes.
With a roar, Mao Zhuang didn't intend to sit still, and rose up with one claw to take the lead in attacking Xuanwei.
The blood qi accumulated in the body surged, the stiff and shriveled arm suddenly swelled several times, and the rich black corpse qi was wrapped around the hook claws condensed by the blood, and even the air was distorted everywhere it passed, and a sound burst was heard.
Xuan Wei's soaked robe was blown to the sound of hunting, and he endured the suffocating and fishy wind that came to his face, and his spell finally came to the end.
"Hurry like a law!" Xuan Wei's eyes lit up, and his sword pointed at the void and waved, heading straight towards Mao's stiff point.
The Tiangang ruler trembled slightly, making a crisp sound like a sword groan.
In the next second, the Tiangang magic ruler was like a meteor catching the moon, drawing a starlight trajectory, and the latter came first to collide with Mao Zhuang's hook claw.
Boom!
A dull crash sounded.
Poof!
Almost at the same time, there was a sound like a piece of white paper being pierced.
I saw that the corpse qi and blood on the hairy stiff hook claw collapsed in an instant, and the Ganghui burst out of the Tiangang magic ruler directly shattered its hook claw, and then penetrated the copper skin and iron bone that it was proud of.
The aura of corpse obscurity immediately shot out from the wound that Mao Stiff had penetrated, and it looked like a balloon with a hole in it.
The stiff body shook violently, and its claws tightly covered the wound, as if to stop the flow of corpse qi from its body.
Xuanwei sword fingers waved, and the Tiangang ruler flickered continuously, bringing out a dazzling trajectory.
In the blink of an eye, Mao Zhuang was driven by Xuanwei's Tiangang ruler and punched a thousand holes.
"It is far more than a hundred times more difficult for zombies to cultivate the Tao than for other living beings, and it is not easy to cultivate to become a stiff. It's a pity that the poor Dao cultivation is shallow, and he doesn't dare to gamble with the common people in the world!" Xuan Wei sighed lightly and took out a few rune papers from his sleeve.
There is no shortage of methods to control and drive zombies, and the zombies that have been specially refined are no less useful than a magic weapon for some monks.
It's just that a zombie of this level is completely a double-edged sword, and if it can be driven like an arm all the time, it is naturally a powerful helper. But if it gets out of control and brings disaster to the world, it will inevitably be a disaster.
As Xuan Wei said, he can't afford to gamble.
