Chapter 207: Refining Corpses
"Daddy, Xiang'er is back", after a servant trotted in to report, Yun Yifei and the two followed, and when everyone hurriedly came out, Yun Xiang saw the two gray-haired old men in front of him, although he had no impression in his memory, but at this time, he felt more cordial after just a glance, and he knew that the two were parents, so he bowed his head and bowed.
When Zhao Wenqi adopted Yunxiang, he gave his name, and the two old men naturally knew.
"Xiang'er, it's really my Xiang'er, I want to die and kiss my mother......", the second elder was surprised, and after helping Yunxiang, the three of them hugged each other, and they couldn't cry anymore.
"Meet the two immortals", Yun Shan said aloud in surprise, and then everyone in the entire courtyard knelt down to the two.
"Please get up, please get up", although Yun Yifei was a monk, he had never seen such a formation, and he hurriedly said to everyone.
"Dad, mother, don't be in the courtyard, hurry up and go back to the house with my sister, there are still distinguished guests", a middle-aged man whispered to the two old men.
"Yes, yes, go, hurry into the house, into the house".
"I've seen my uncle and aunt", Yun Yifei also bowed deeply to the two.
After some introduction, everyone welcomed them into the living room, and after only a few words of greeting, the two old men took Yun Xiang to the inner room, naturally complaining of lovesickness.
I saw three portraits of myself hanging in the most conspicuous place in the inner room, all of them were children, some when I was a little older, and one from five years ago.
The two old men asked about Yunxiang's life over the years, with a look of love on their faces.
"Are you all people with the surname Yun?" everyone in the living room was much more restrained, and Yun Yifei took the initiative to ask.
"Yes, we are escorts to deliver the daily necessities, and the coachmen are hired. Yun Shan replied respectfully.
"How is the Yun family in the secular world?"
Between the questions and answers, Yun Yifei also understood the general situation, the surname Yun is also a relatively large family in this country, the main big family lives in the capital, and there are also families in other cities, but they are all related to each other, some are businessmen, some are officials in the court, there are generals who can fight well, and there are chivalrous warriors who roam the rivers and lakes.
And Yun Shan lives in the city more than 100 miles away, and the parents and officials in the city are also people surnamed Yun, and Yun Shan is his personal guard.
"Since I met the immortal family here, there is a strange thing that has to be mentioned, for a period of time, in the rivers and lakes, from time to time there are some famous and strong martial arts people who have disappeared inexplicably, among which there are naturally a few people surnamed Yun, such changes have also attracted the attention of the imperial court, recently sent several gold medal guards to investigate, this time there is no result, it is said that those gold medal guards are also missing at this time, I wonder if the immortal family can come forward to help investigate?" Yun Shan hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say.
"Your Excellency does not know that monks are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the worldly world. Yun Yifei said truthfully.
"If it's just a matter of the secular world, naturally we don't dare to bother the Immortal Family, but since the gold medal guards have all been dispatched, and they are even missing, we adults suspect that the monks may be involved at this time. ”
"What's the use of monks killing these martial arts practitioners in the secular world, it seems unreasonable. Yun Yifei said with some doubts.
"It's okay to do this, bother the Immortal Family to investigate, if it doesn't involve monks, the Immortal Family doesn't have to interfere, if it involves monks or beasts and the like, it also bothers the Immortal Family to call the shots," Yun Shan said, then got up and bowed deeply and said.
"Since that's the case, then I'll go down here first, but I also have to discuss it with Sister Yunxiang, you tell me the specific situation first", Yun Yifei pondered for a moment and said, anyway, it didn't matter if he came out to practice, so he agreed.
"Thank you so much to the Immortal Family, this is how ...... things are", seeing that Yun Yifei agreed, Yun Shan was overjoyed, and after saluting, he talked about the matter in detail.
In the evening, Yun Xiang took his mother's hand and came out of the inner hall, and his father followed with laughter: "I only care about talking to the little girl, and I neglect the noble."
"Uncle is too polite", Yun Yifei hurriedly got up and replied.
The servants were instructed to prepare dinner immediately, and the men began to chat in the living room again.
......
In a vast deep mountain, in an inconspicuous cave.
There was a faint fluctuation of spiritual power at the entrance of the cave, and it was obvious that there was a formation shrouded in it.
The cave is gloomy and gray, full of strong smell of blood, there is a huge blood pool in the center of the cave, the blood is full of blood, there is a dried corpse standing in the blood pool, the eyes are round, the face is hideous, the jagged fangs, the flesh is dry and close to the bones, the belly is low, the body is covered with red hair, the whole body is covered with blood-colored runes, directly connected with the strange mark on the forehead, it looks very terrifying.
A pale yellow talisman was attached to the corpse's forehead, emitting a strange energy that made it stand motionless.
There was a person standing in front of the pool of blood, of medium stature, with low eyebrows and drooping eyes, a garlic nose, and a lewd face, looking at this dried corpse with a smile on his face, and his smile was even uglier with this honor.
Suddenly, this ugly man was full of momentum, and the ten fingers of his hands changed like flying, and one after another spells shot out, directly submerging into the body of the dried corpse.
Immediately after that, as if a suction force was generated on the corpse's body, the blood in the blood pool also boiled, spreading upwards along the runes carved on its body, directly merging into a strange mark on its forehead, through the rune, I saw that the mark was getting brighter and brighter.
As the red light of the mark grew brighter and brighter, the blood in the pool was consumed at an extremely fast rate.
After about a cup of tea, when the blood in the pool was almost dry, the absorption of the mark seemed to reach the limit, only to see the ugly man pinch his fingertips, and a small stream of blood shot into the forehead of the dried corpse, only to see that the strange mark squirmed as if it was alive, and with the injection of a magic trick, the mark drilled into the forehead of the dried corpse.
A moment later, the ugly man pointed in the air, and the talisman flew back, and the imprint mixed with the essence and blood of the heart was imprinted in the body of the dry corpse, so that the ugly man had a connection with it in his mind.
The ugly man's heart moved slightly, and he saw that the eyes of the motionless dry corpse rolled, but a moment of confusion flashed, and he stared at the ugly man not far in front of him for a moment, and without seeing how hard he tried, he jumped straight up the pool of blood.
Then the dry corpse hesitated for a moment, and then it moved left and right, up and down, and with great speed, every now and then he waved his arm, and it raged on the stone wall, which was as fragile as tofu in front of it, and the rubble flew sideways, and the stone chips were all over the ground.
Although under the control of the ugly man, the dry corpse was quite obedient, but every time after giving an order, the dry corpse always flashed a moment of confusion, and hesitated for a moment before making a move, so naturally it was not coherent enough.
And the ugly man also secretly complained in his heart, there was a force in the body of this dry corpse to fight against that brand, he knew in his heart that this was the part of consciousness that the dry corpse retained, and this was not the first time he had branded this dry corpse.
At this moment, the light shield at the entrance of the cave squirmed, and four figures rushed in.
"Senior Brother Cheng, what is the effect of this sacrifice?", a middle-aged man first asked, although this person looked the oldest among several people, but he called this ugly man Senior Brother, and he also had a look of respect, thinking that the ugly man's identity was special.
"It can make some connections, but the imprint is still not deep enough, this dry corpse has always been very resistant, and it still needs some sacrifice. The ugly man surnamed Cheng raised his hand and punched out a talisman, pasted it on the forehead of the dried corpse, shook his head and said.
"I didn't expect this dry corpse's obsession to be so strong," the middle-aged man said with some surprise.
Ordinary corpses are not so difficult to refine, and there is no need to use so much blood as a guide, and this zombie was unintentionally encountered in the deep mountains, and the five people took a lot of effort to capture it, seeing that its qualifications are good, it is suitable for refining corpses, and ordinary sacrificial methods cannot subdue it, so they have to use the blood of mortals to perform secret techniques, so that the other four people go to the secular world to capture and kill mortals who are strong and strong in martial arts.
"Although it is more difficult to refine, but the potential for promotion after success is great, after all, it is a zombie with a strong mind, from the scattered memories of this zombie, this person is also from this sect, it is the early sect sent here to collect intelligence, when he is dying, he uses the secret method of refining the corpse of this sect to dissipate spiritual power to nourish his body, and he will be obsessed with the sea of knowledge, although there is a loss after death, but he still retains part of his consciousness, so this is naturally a good spirit corpse, as for the strength of this body, you have also been taught. The ugly man surnamed Cheng explained.
"We've captured a few more mortals, and they're doing a pretty good job. The middle-aged man patted the storage bag as he spoke, and six corpses were placed in the cave, uniformly dressed, with gold medals hanging on their waists, thinking that their status in the secular world was not ordinary, but even so, they were still like ants in the eyes of the monks.
"I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on the blood of mortals to refine it, it seems that we have to attack some monks," said the ugly man surnamed Cheng with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"That's not easy, when I came back just now, I saw a team of four people nearby, it seems that it should be a loose cultivator, just catch it", another monk who looked to be in his twenties said with a big grin.
