Chapter 201: Driving the Corpse
"Taoism has always been mysterious, and although the old man is so knowledgeable, he knows very little about them. ”
Hearing Jiang Xiaoqi's inquiry, the old donkey's dark face couldn't help but pass a trace of doubt, and then, I saw it shake its head and smash its mouth to speak, indicating that it didn't know.
"If my guess is correct, this Lingbao Tianzun should be one of the founding patriarchs of Taoism, as for whether it is consistent with what is said in the ancient book you have read, I don't know. ”
Seeing that the old donkey shook his head and denied it, and didn't know, Jiang Xiaoqi couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face, but then he still spoke softly and explained to the few people in front of him.
Looking at the ignorant looks on the faces of the few people in front of him, Jiang Xiaoqi's surprise in his heart was even greater, is Taoism really so secret in this world? People from the outside world don't even know about Taoism Sanqing, no wonder Jiang Xiaoqi would show such a look after asking a few questions when he saw Daozi.
"Actually, there is also a corroboration that can be linked to the old man who suppressed the scourge of the underworld, and this Lingbao Tianzun, that is, a scripture he created, called "The Book of Saving People", according to legend, can reduce boundless evil, cleanse the soul, as if there are thousands of gods and Buddhas chanting Sanskrit, for the Yin soldiers of the underworld, it is the most targeted nemesis. ”
Soon after the words fell, Jiang Xiaoqi groaned slightly and continued, recalling some words about Taoism in his mind, and explained to the few people in front of him who were full of curiosity.
"I don't think I've heard the name "Duren Sutra" anywhere. ”
After Jiang Xiaoqi's words fell, Yu Ling'er on the side couldn't help but speak coquettishly, her eyebrows frowned slightly, she raised her hand to support her chin and think, after a long time, she still didn't come up with the reason, but these three words still echoed in her mind, lingering.
"That is to say, the oil lamp just now, which is somewhat similar to the supreme treasure of Lingbao Tianzun, can suppress these corpses that have been dead for an unknown number of years and prevent the corpse disaster from happening. ”
Yu Ling'er frowned, and when she fell into contemplation, on the side, the Lei Mang, who was full of flesh, couldn't help but grin at this moment, a sudden look flashed over her dark face, and from the words of the old donkey and Jiang Xiaoqi just now, many clues were connected together, and she said in surprise.
"Do you have tofu in your head?"
As soon as Lei Mang's words fell, he saw the old donkey on the side turn his head and glance at him, his big dark face was full of contempt, and he couldn't help but mock loudly.
"Hehe, but my thoughts are a little slow. ”
was ridiculed by the old donkey with big teeth, Lei Mang was not angry, just scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, and immediately explained.
"Okay, let's not talk about that for now, let's see if these corpses are as we guessed. ”
Looking at Lei Mang's embarrassed face, Jiang Xiaoqi smiled indifferently, and then his eyes fell on the many figures standing in the cave in front of him, and he spoke softly, saying this to the few people in front of him.
Without waiting for Jiang Xiaoqi to speak, the old donkey who followed him rushed out in an arrow step, swept past him, and came to the many corpses placed in the cave, and then suddenly stood upright, his big round eyes were like copper bells, and he looked at these corpses with curiosity.
The wide cave stretches backwards for an unknown distance, and on the whole it is inclined downward, but because of the slope, Jiang Xiaoqi and his party walking in the cave do not have a very clear feeling.
At this moment, everyone came to the corpses, and couldn't help but cast a little curious gaze, looking at these neatly arranged and tall corpses.
And Jiang Xiaoqi also fell on it at this moment, a look of silent curiosity appeared on his face, and he reached out to touch the shriveled corpse in front of him.
The corpses were dressed in the same clothes, like a standard, and although many of them had been torn by the passage of time, they could still be discerned from the age they had seen today.
Looking at the shriveled bodies, there are no obvious scars on these corpses, and they are neatly arranged and orderly, not as if they were moved here, and after such regularization, we can conclude that these corpses are likely to die here.
If according to the rune master's lineage, these corpses are all puppets refined by people, then they should have unique marks on their foreheads, but at the moment, there is not the slightest trace of these corpses.
The wind is gusting, the space is dim, at this moment, the atmosphere in this cave is very weird, walking next to these corpses, it makes people have a hazy illusion, these people, as if they are not dead, are still alive in this world, but observing the many characteristics of their bodies, you can find that these people are indeed dead.
Looking at the past, these neatly arranged corpses, their eyes were closed, but from the time the old donkey picked up the oil lamp just now, he could clearly see that the pupils of these people were mottled black surging, that kind of power Jiang Xiaoqi was no stranger to, and it actually had many similarities with the black demonic qi.
Therefore, there is another possibility, that is, these people were wiped out of their lives in an instant, and from the mottled black flashing in their eyes, you can also get some clues, it is very likely that these people were killed by the people of the demon race.
Before, Jiang Xiaoqi had also heard the old beggar say that this desolate battlefield was a small world before, and there were many powerful warriors living in it, and 10,000 years ago, the demon army attacked, affecting the entire world, although this small world is hidden, it should be difficult to survive.
"Boy, these people don't look like puppets that have been refined by someone, but more like they have been erased in an instant. ”
At this time, the old donkey walking in front suddenly came back, pointed to a corpse in front of Jiang Xiaoqi, and his dark face showed a look of surprise, and said to the latter beside him.
"Yes, but there is one more question that makes me a little confused. ”
Jiang Xiaoqi also agreed with the old donkey's words, and after nodding, he saw that there was a trace of doubt on his face, and he couldn't help but speak up.
"If these people are all obliterated, then why are they neatly arranged in this cave? ”
didn't wait for Jiang Xiaoqi to speak, but Yu Ling'er on the side was the first to speak, a touching smile flashed across her pretty face, her beautiful eyes blinked lightly, and she swept a touch of cunning, and then tilted her head, and said in such a coquettish voice to Jiang Xiaoqi in front of her very intelligently.
On the side, Lei Mang listened to the verbal analysis of the few people in front of him, a little confused, I didn't know why, scratched his head in embarrassment and didn't speak, just stood aside blankly, stretched out his hand and knocked on the shriveled corpse in front of him. "Could it be that these people were moved here, and that oil lamp was used to suppress them and prevent them from mutiny?"
Seeing that Yu Ling'er had said the key to the problem, the old donkey grinned and thought for a while, and then, seeing a touch of surprise on its dark face, he turned his head to look at Jiang Xiaoqi beside him, his eyes were a little dull, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"There are so many corpses here, when are they going to be moved one by one?"
This time, it was finally Lei Mang's turn to interject, and while banging on the shriveled corpse beside him, he turned his head to Jiang Xiaoqi in front of him in doubt, and couldn't help grinning and asking.
"I don't know if Brother Lei has ever heard of the special method of the spirit rune master to drive away corpses?"
Looking at the puzzled look flashing on Lei Mang's huge face, Jiang Xiaoqi smiled slightly, his fingertips tapped lightly on the shriveled corpse beside him, and then, his eyes swept over Yu Ling'er's pretty face, and he said with a smile.
"Didn't the spirit rune master lineage be broken off a long time ago, and I heard that they were under a curse, even if the monk with the best talent was, almost no one touched it anymore. ”
After Jiang Xiaoqi's words fell, he saw Lei Mang nodding his head and making it clear, but then, he remembered many rumors about the lineage of the spirit rune master, and a look of fear flashed on his face full of flesh, as if he didn't want to mention the three words spirit rune master, for fear of being contaminated with an inexplicable causal curse.
"These corpses don't do anything here, they just gradually ** over time, so it's better to let them play some real role. ”
did not give an explanation for Lei Mang's inquiry, and then, he saw that Jiang Xiaoqi turned over slightly, and his fingertips tapped lightly on the shriveled corpse beside him, and then, Lei Mang was surprised to see that a brilliant golden rune jumped from Jiang Xiaoqi's fingertips.
"The little color embryo turned out to be a spirit rune master. ”
It was not only Lei Mang who was also surprised, but even Yu Ling'er on the side, looking at the golden runes beating at Jiang Xiaoqi's fingertips, a look of surprise also flashed across her pretty face, her small mouth opened into an O-shape, and she said in surprise.
"Let's step back, this is the first time I've used the means of a spirit rune master to drive away a corpse, and if I can't keep it, there will be any special situation, so it's better to be careful. ”
Without hurrying to punch the golden rune in his hand into the corpse in front of him, he saw Jiang Xiaoqi turn his head slightly, and spoke to the few people behind him with some solemn words, and couldn't help but remind in a deep voice.
Hearing this, several people nodded slightly, and then took a few steps back with great tacit understanding, and then cast their eyes to Jiang Xiaoqi in front of them again.
"Whew"
Looking at the golden runes beating at his fingertips, Jiang Xiaoqi took a deep breath, held his breath and concentrated, leaving all his chaotic thoughts behind, and staring at the golden runes in front of him with his whole body.
"Buzz"
The next moment, the few people behind him were surprised to see that Jiang Xiaoqi's fingertips were jumping rapidly at this time, and the mottled golden light surrounded his fingertips, like pen and ink, quickly engraved on the golden rune in front of him, and in a trance, a mighty invisible force shrouded the surrounding dim cave.
"Poof"
After a while, a lot of beads of sweat had appeared on Jiang Xiaoqi's forehead, and those deep eyes were also climbing a lot of bloodshot at the moment, but for these, he completely ignored them, and concentrated on the golden runes in front of him.
Since leaving the small mountain village where he has lived for more than ten years, Jiang Xiaoqi has never driven the corpse, when he was still an ignorant teenager, at the request of Old Man Shi, he drove away the corpses of living creatures around the mountain village, whether it was a spirit animal or a human, he had driven it.
It's just that at that time, the methods he used were extremely complicated, and he needed to draw special symbols on the foreheads of the deceased, and then use spiritual power to hook the engraved runes to drive away the corpses.
However, after he got the inheritance of the spirit rune master, this method was abandoned, and then to drive out the corpse, there was no need for such cumbersome means, only with the blessing of soul power and spiritual power, a special symbol was engraved on the rune, and then it was punched into the body of the deceased, and it could be driven away.
Different races require different symbols, but the difference is not very big, but the deceased who are driven away will have some problems, such as hands and feet do not obey the call, unable to walk normally and other minor problems.
"Boom"
After a long time, finally, Jiang Xiaoqi's jumping fingertips stopped abruptly, and as far as his eyes could see, the golden sigil suspended in front of him was exuding Ye Ye's brilliance at this moment, and on it, a complex picture and text were clearly presented, filled with strange fluctuations.
"Enter"
After engrave the runes, Jiang Xiaoqi raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and after taking a deep breath, he was concentrating and drinking, and then everyone saw that Jiang Xiaoqi's fingertips filled with golden brilliance suddenly pointed out at this moment.
The next moment, he saw that the golden rune suspended in front of him suddenly swept out at this moment, directly on the forehead of the corpse in front of him, and the golden light flashed away, directly submerging into it.
"Why didn't you respond?"
At this moment, Lei Mang's heart was even more nervous than Jiang Xiaoqi, his big eyes like copper bells stared at the corpse that the rune had not entered, his breathing became rapid at this moment, and he couldn't help grinning, so eagerly.
After a long time, the corpse in front of Jiang Xiaoqi still didn't have any reaction, the rune didn't enter it, as if it was sinking into the sea, it didn't have any effect, in this case, even the old donkey who was quite confident in Jiang Xiaoqi couldn't help but drum in his heart at this moment.
"Up"
Just as everyone was staring at the corpse with bated breath, they heard Jiang Xiaoqi snort suddenly, and his slightly poked fingertips suddenly rose at this moment.
Immediately afterwards, a surprising scene appeared, only to see the corpse standing in front of Jiang Xiaoqi's body, at this moment, suddenly opened his closed eyes, a pair of deep black pupils were filled with cold coldness, and he stared at it, and he couldn't help but have goosebumps on his body.
"Poof"
Just when everyone was excited in their hearts, they suddenly found that in front of Jiang Xiaoqi, the corpse that opened its cold eyes was silent again at this moment, and the hazy opened eyes closed again in the stunned gaze of everyone.
