Chapter 38: Waiting for a Void
The old Taoist priest nodded, found a more secret wood, took out a few pieces of yellow paper at random, drew a spell on it with cinnabar, threw it in all directions, and shouted in his mouth: "Six divine laws, borrow the land and return to seclusion...... Haste as a law!"
A few yellow talismans fell around, Chen Tian didn't feel any changes, but the old Taoist priest sat down very confidently, staring at the mountain in front of him.
Is this stinky Taoist priest fooling me? Chen Tian couldn't help but mutter, and sat down beside the old Taoist priest.
"By the way, since you're not sure that Qinghuo is here, why did you rush over?" Chen Tian asked.
"Just now, I sensed the location of the green fire through the body of the mourning hall master, and during the time I came, the position of the mourning hall master moved a lot, so I had to go up the mountain to confirm it, and now the spell has been broken, and I can't sense it!" The old Taoist priest explained.
"Could it be that Qinghuo has already left during the time we arrived? Or maybe he didn't go up the mountain, and the master of the mourning hall came here after seeing him. Chen Tian said.
"Quite possibly, but not otherwise, this is the closest we've come to a green fire in a while. The old Taoist priest nodded.
"By the way, is there something famous in this mountain? Just now I smelled a corpse-like smell!" Chen Tian asked.
"That's right, this is the old nest of the mourners, since the ghouls have split up, the mourners have chosen the place where the family lives, this location is very exquisite, relying on the mountains and water, gathered around, it is a very rare gathering place for yin qi, it is very helpful for the corpse keepers, and the only remaining Yipin corpse is hidden in the heaviest place in this mountain!"
"Is a first-class corpse more powerful than a bronze armored corpse?" Chen Tian's curiosity was aroused.
"To cultivate a walking corpse, you must first change the corpse, this kind of corpse transformation is not a corpse change on the side of the living corpse, but to stimulate the resentment that has been accumulated in the corpse for a long time, so that the corpse can gain mobility, which is very similar to the zombie in the movie, but you don't need to jump to walk, just like a human. Although the body of the walking corpse is not as hard as the bronze armored corpse, it can absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth to cultivate, and it can also be used to arrange many corpse arrays, which is why the walking corpse looks inferior to the bronze armored corpse, but it can occupy a family in the ghoul vein.
The individual ability of the walking corpse is relatively weak, so among the four families of the ghoul line, the number of lost families is the largest.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was a war-torn era, there were dead people everywhere, and the whole family went out to look for suitable corpses, which also caused a lot of trouble at the beginning, and it was also at that time that cases such as zombie blood sucking made the people panic.
It may be that most of the corpses found at that time were from the Qing Dynasty, and under the influence of Qing Dynasty culture, the corpse level was divided into four grades, three grades, two grades, and one grade.
The fourth grade is the weakest, the first grade is the strongest, if all the corpses of the first grade are composed of corpses, any corpse array, it is not one or two bronze armored corpses can compete.
Even the strongest flying corpse of the Pei family, the main family of the ghouls, can only fight against two first-grade corpses. However, now there is only one Yipin corpse left in the mourning family, and there is no glory in the past, and the situation of the other three is similar, otherwise, this mourning family is estimated to have been merged long ago!"
Chen Tian nodded, he didn't know if he didn't listen, and he was startled when he heard it. I didn't expect those zombie incidents caused by the people to be famous for this lost family.
However, Chen Tian felt that this bereaved family dared to collect the corpse so blatantly, there must be official support, or it would definitely be solved with the power of Taoist sects such as Maoshan and Heavenly Master Dao at that time. Not to mention a lost family, even if the ghouls are in one vein, it is estimated that they will not be able to fight against the famous and decent families in the world.
Many of these things have been dusted over time, and no one knows about them.
The two of them waited for a long time, but they didn't see Qinghuo coming down the mountain, but only occasionally one or two small characters who lost their families came down.
After waiting for a long time, no one can stand it! Chen Tian suggested whether to catch someone and ask about the situation.
The old Taoist priest rejected Chen Tian's proposal, the mourning family is different from other families, the mourning family controls the walking corpse through a special sound wave, and when the time comes, if the corpse is accidentally alarmed, it will not end.
Maybe the ghost family is reluctant to deal with Qinghuo, and they also have these concerns, and Qinghuo is involved in other families.
The old Taoist priest told Chen Tian that if Qinghuo succeeded in merging the Corpse King and the Bronze Armored Corpse and pushed the Bronze Armored Corpse's ability to the peak, then the Ghost Family would inevitably return Qinghuo to the family at any cost. In this way, the ghost family will have two top-level bronze armored corpses, and their strength will be greatly improved.
"By the way, I hear you say every day, this ghoul has four families, how are they ranked?" Chen Tian asked curiously, listening to the meaning of the old Taoist, this ghoul seems to be one, but the interior is also very chaotic, and there is an old Taoist priest who has not said it.
"The flying corpse of the Pei family, the highest level, is the ancient legend of the drought fish, this kind of can't be called a corpse, of course, it's not a god or a demon, it hasn't been out for thousands of years. Now the Pei family's highest-level flying corpse can cast spells. Bronze armored corpse, stiff body, infinite strength. Walking corpses are able to form formations. They all have strengths and weaknesses, but the flying corpse will use spells to restrain other corpses, and it is the main family, ranking first in terms of strength, but it is only a little stronger. The old Taoist priest gave Chen Tian popular science.
"And what about the other one?" asked Chen Tian.
"This family is basically no trace of them now, it is a dead family, according to legend, it has disappeared for more than two hundred years, they are the most mysterious, they only refine living corpses, according to legend, some of them have practiced human souls, causing family infighting, and the strength of the family has been greatly damaged, before retiring. The old Taoist priest said.
"Only refining living corpses?" Chen Tian was a little surprised, the old Taoist priest of living corpses had popularized with Chen Tian, and raising corpses on the ground was also one of them.
Chen Tian has seen the corpse of the ground, and the old Taoist priest worked hard at the beginning, and with the help of the green fire and the bronze armored corpse, he set up an ambush to let the corpse of the ground be planted. Even so, those who had fought in the first place were almost wounded.
Of course, Liu Jiayan's injury was pretended to be at the beginning, Qinghuo should have been really injured, not to mention the bronze armored corpse, his chest was pierced.
Now thinking back to the original battle situation, everyone has their own little abacus, so the old Taoist priest will be so passive.
The two of them have been here for a day, and they have not seen any trace of Qinghuo at all, Chen Tian suspects that this Qinghuo, who is even more cunning than the old Taoist, is estimated to have left a long time ago!
"It's not a way to wait like this, why don't you change the way?" Chen Tian proposed, because Chen Tian was hungry.
"There is no other way!" replied the old Taoist.
However, the old Taoist priest also seems to feel that he may not be able to wait for Qinghuo here.
"By the way, why don't we start at the source?" Chen Tian proposed.
The old Taoist priest looked at Chen Tian suspiciously, waiting for Chen Tian's explanation.
"That's right, Qinghuo's purpose is to refine the highest-grade bronze armor corpse, right, but during this period, he sent jade beasts to the ghost family and the mourning family, and now these two families seem to be collecting jade beasts, I think there must be a big plan related to this, since it is a related big plan, there will always be news exposed, should we find out who will participate in this plan, where will they carry out the plan, follow a person who is involved to find this place, where to wait for Qinghuo, it should be easier, right? By the way, you can also know what kind of conspiracy they are engaged in!" Chen Tian analyzed.
