Chapter 341: The Law of Rebirth
After all, Nan Ming is not the blue fat man with a four-dimensional pocket on his belly, and it is impossible for her to prepare the exercises that Qi Xiaomei needs in advance. However, if you can't be a blue fat man, it's still okay to pretend to be a guiding grandfather.
"I don't have the exercises here, but Fu Xi may have some clues. ”
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go and ask?" Tianyou said and wanted to go out, but Nanming didn't move.
"What do you want to do? The paper crane was given to you to minimize the chance of face-to-face contact, and if you rushed over so rashly, wouldn't our efforts be in vain?"
After being clicked Tianyou, I remembered that the identities of Fu Xi and Nan Ming were very problematic, and they needed to avoid direct contact with themselves as much as possible, otherwise Nan Ming would not act like an underground party connector every time he came out to see him.
"Then ...... this exercise?" Solving Qi Xiaomei's problem is equivalent to solving Tianyou's own problem in disguise, and it's strange that Tianyou is not nervous.
Nan Ming didn't mean to deliberately hang his appetite, so he got up directly and said, "You wait here, I'll help you ask." ”
Nan Ming said that she was about to go out, but Tianyou grabbed her and asked, "Senior Sister Nan Ming still wants to go back?"
"Otherwise, how can I help you ask? Fu Xi didn't come out with me. ”
"Don't you have any ability to communicate for thousands of miles, or is it a magic weapon for communication?"
"The magic weapon of communication?" Nan Ming thought for a moment and said: "That kind of thing has been made by someone, but the communication distance is too close, and it is easy to be intercepted and interrupted, so it is not as convenient as flying over and saying it directly." Well, wait here, and I'll go and go back. ”
Nan Ming said that she would go back but Tianyou was miserable, because she didn't come back until this time the next night, during which Tianyou supported her to have a fight with Zhou Tong, and the result still ended in Tianyou's complete defeat. However, in order not to lose face, Tianyou had to go, after all, he proposed the battle, and it would be a shame to give up now. In contrast, if he is beaten up, although he will still lose, no one will look down on him. After all, to be reasonable, Zhou Tong's kind of outlier has not been done by a few of them, and Tianyou's failure is completely reasonable, and it is strange to win.
When Nan Ming came again, he saw Tianyou lying on the bed weakly looking at the ceiling in a daze, this time he was beaten worse than yesterday, if it weren't for Moon Shadow's saliva and Tianyou's own resilience, another person would be able to book the coffin in advance on the third day.
"Got to talk to that person again?" Although he hadn't seen anyone for a day, Nan Ming seemed to have an understanding of Tianyou's actions, and he made a joke after coming in.
Tianyou glanced at Nan Ming, and then turned over and jumped off the ground. "Senior sister is still in the mood to joke, is that exercise found?"
Nan Ming shook his head, but the next second, before Tianyou's expression collapsed, he took his hand and slapped a piece of parchment in his palm.
Tianyou glanced at the stack of things and asked with a little surprise, "Didn't you say that you didn't find it?"
"For her. ”
Tianyou took the stack of parchment in surprise, and then opened it, and found that it was actually a pile of things similar to technical literature.
Tianyou took a general look, this thing didn't look up and pay off, so I don't know what it was called, but the pictures and texts depicted with charcoal on it were clearly recording a corpse transformation technique. The first page is a long list of herbs, followed by a detailed description of the herbs and how much they are used, and the second page describes the process used to process the herbs into a soup. The third page of the manuscript paper is about how to transform zombies, and its main content is to cut the skin and flesh, use the technology of making weapons to directly engrave the formation talisman on the bones of the zombies, and then bury the meridians of the monsters in the zombie's body, so that the zombie body that is born to block the aura has the ability to use spells. Finally, the last thing is to soak the zombies with the potion concocted before, and then refine and raise the corpses.
In general, this is a zombie production technology, and it looks different from the current popular methods of raising and refining corpses, and it is a rather alternative artificial transformation scheme. However...... "Senior sister, what are you giving me this?"
"For her, of course. Nan Ming looked at Qi Xiaomei meaningfully.
Tianyou took a step back in shock. "What did you say?"
The content recorded in the parchment scroll requires the zombie's whole body skin and flesh to be completely cut, then the entire skeleton is removed, and then the bones are carved, inscribed, and other steps are printed with talismans and formations, and finally the bones have to be put back in. This kind of thing is a big problem for a corpse, but Qi Xiaomei is not a complete corpse! Not only does she have an independent mind, but her senses are no different from a living person, if this cuts her open...... Just thinking of that possibility, Tianyou couldn't help but tremble all over.
"What's the matter? I'm afraid she won't be able to bear the pain?" asked Nan Ming disappreciatively.
Tianyou immediately asked, "Is this something that people can bear?"
"But is she human?"
"Although not, but she has thoughts and feelings, no matter what the body is, she will also know the pain!" "Tianyou, who has modern memories, can't accept this kind of terrifying thing no matter what, let alone use it on an ignorant little girl. If he was a prisoner with a heinous crime, God Youken would not be so resistant, but he would not be able to accept it if it was used on Qi Xiaomei.
"That ......" Just as the two were about to argue, Qi Xiaomei, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke. "May I ask, are you arguing about my question? Xiaomei Jue, if it is Xiaomei's matter, Xiaomei can make her own decision. ”
Although Qi Xiaomei looks thin and weak, she has not been loved by her parents since she was a child, and she has to go out to work to support her and her grandmother's livelihood, but her heart is very different from her appearance, and she is an independent and assertive character. In addition to being obedient to Tianyou because of alchemy, even if she has now become a half-corpse body, she is still the independent Qi Xiaomei. Tianyou and Nan Ming argued for a long time, and in the end, they actually had to make a decision with Qi Xiaomei, because this was her business after all.
Since Qi Xiaomei wants to make up her own mind, Tianyou naturally can't say anything, but Nan Ming is quite unusually like a salesman to introduce the various benefits of transformation to her, and also solves Tianyou's biggest concern, "pain".
In fact, as a zombie, Qi Xiaomei will not be too sensitive to pain, and if she does a little advance treatment, even this kind of major surgery to remove the bones will not cause any discomfort at all, so Tianyou's worry is actually completely superfluous.
After Nan Ming's explanation, Tianyou also felt that his worries seemed to be a little too much, and Qi Xiaomei's own resolute attitude made Tianyou no longer say anything.
It is determined that Qi Xiaomei will be remodeled, which means that Tianyou's itching is saved. Compared with others, Qi Xiaomei is a person who can be trusted by God, and she doesn't need to worry about time at all for daily training, so she can naturally not delay her daily practice. In addition, when I fought with people, I couldn't explain the situation, so I naturally couldn't control the injury, and I was always beaten with a blue nose and swollen face. But it's different from Qi Xiaomei. Everyone is their own person, and they also understand what level of battle is needed, so they will naturally control the strength, and even if they are occasionally injured, they will not be as embarrassed as these days.
However, although the matter is decided, it is not so easy to do.
First of all, the first step, Qi Xiaomei must first undergo body transformation.
Zombies have the characteristics of zombies, with hard skin and hard swords, infinite strength, and no fear of pain at all, which can be described as the best choice for serving as a meat shield. However, zombies also have the weakness of zombies, that is, they are slow and have low intelligence, and even if they rise in level later, they are much more dull and stupid than other demons and monsters.
Therefore, in order to adapt to the characteristics of zombies and give full play to their strengths, it is necessary to make a certain range of adjustments to the size of zombies.
As a meat shield, zombies must be able to withstand them, so the bigger the body, the better. Zombies that are tall enough can have enough area to help the monks block guns, and reminders that increasing the size can further increase the zombie's strength and defense, which is naturally an excellent choice. On the contrary, the speed drop caused by the increase of the reminder is not your problem in the case of zombies. Because these guys are inherently slow, they can't get up fast even if they're small. On the contrary, it increases the size of the body, the height and the length of the arms, but obtains a larger attack range and movement speed, which is equivalent to increasing the mobility ability in disguise.
Although Qi Xiaomei is half human and half corpse, Tianyou didn't plan to let her block the gun for herself, but now Qi Xiaomei is indeed too short. is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old yellow-haired girl, and she has been malnourished since she was a child, it is obviously unrealistic to expect her to have an outstanding height. But after the bone replacement, the formation diagram needs to be engraved, and this bone will not change in the slightest, so it is impossible for Qi Xiaomei to grow taller in the future. Tianyou doesn't want her to be such a half-grown child for the rest of her life. As for the other reason, it is because of the need for the manuscript given by Nanming.
Originally, Tianyou just roughly skimmed through the manuscript, thinking that he wanted to engrave the formation diagram on Qi Xiaomei's bones, but after Nan Ming's explanation, he realized that he didn't actually want to use Qi Xiaomei's own size, but needed to find a high-level skeleton to come back, disperse the fire of his soul, and then engrave the formation diagram on this skeleton, and then use it to replace Qi Xiaomei's bones.
The reason why we want to find another skeleton instead of Qi Xiaomei's own skeleton is also described in detail in the manuscript. First, because the skeleton of the skeleton undead has been modified, the more advanced the skeleton, the higher the strength of its skeleton. Second, the skeleton of a high-level skeleton has been nourished by Yin Qi for a long time, and it has become an existence similar to a magic weapon, and its internal aura conductivity is better, allowing the engraved array to exert greater power. Third, although the high-level skeleton will not grow as tall as the zombie king, it will never be a five-short body, so if Qi Xiaomei does not adjust her figure, she will not be able to find a suitable bone for her to use. As for this third...... It is recorded that in order to protect the soul fire in the furnace cavity, the skull has evolved the ability to protect the soul. This may not mean much to ordinary zombies, but it is extremely important to Qi Xiaomei. After all, she has a soul, which is different from ordinary zombies.
Of course, Qi Xiaomei is not one of those zombies who has almost no intelligence to speak of, and Tianyou doesn't expect her to charge into battle, so naturally she won't make her zombie into a little giant 9 feet tall like other people. He wants nothing more than two things, one is not to make the stereotyped Qi Xiaomei look too short, and the other is to be able to stuff the skeleton of a high-level skeleton. Of course, how harmful it is to find a suitable skeleton first.
There are a large number of skeleton-type undead in the Divine Continent, and there are no less than one million in the inventory of Zixiao Palace alone, not counting the ones that are used in the hands of the sect people. However, these skeletons vary in grade, and most of them are not very suitable.
Other sectarians need skeletons just to refine undead minions for auxiliary combat, or even purely to replace them. In this way, the requirements will naturally not be too high, and no one will invest too much energy and financial resources to strengthen the skeleton, so naturally there will be no high-level skeletons.
But God bless it is different here. He is going to replace Qi Xiaomei, and this thing is basically permanent, after all, this is a bone change, not a change of clothes, it is impossible to change two heads in three days, Tianyou naturally hopes to find a pair of excellent bones in one step.
If you want to collect things, you have to go to the Hall of Merit. Early in the morning of the second day, Tianyou practiced as usual, and then went to Zhou Tong to learn, but the result was naturally the same, he was beaten violently by Zhou Tong, and then he was helped away by Qi Xiaomei. Fortunately, even if he lost, he insisted on coming to learn every day, so that the senior brothers around him admired his perseverance, and even with Lu Zhengyi, a group of people were not too quick to speak, but it made Tianyou less humiliated. But although it is good not to be humiliated, the injury on this body is really painful, so Tianyou is even more determined to help Qi Xiaomei solve the problem of transformation as soon as possible, otherwise it will be really difficult to be beaten and embarrassed every day.
Although he was beaten for several days in a row, Tianyou was still not that Zhoutong's opponent, but Tianyou's three beatings were not in vain. I didn't know the situation on the first day, he was directly knocked unconscious on the spot and carried back. The next day things were much better, at least God bless was still sane. This third day is obviously better, at least Tianyou can already partially control the location and extent of the injury. However, according to this progress, it will take at least a month for him to be able to control his injuries as he wants, and the premise is that Zhou Tong's combat skills will not improve.
didn't have time to go back to let Moon Shadow heal his wounds, Tianyou just let Qi Xiaomei come to the Hall of Merit with a blue nose and swollen face, and when he entered the door, he saw a handyman trotting over to help Qi Xiaomei support him together, and shouted in his mouth: "Brother Tianyou, what's wrong with you? Who beat you so hard like this?"
This miscellaneous servant Tianyou remembers, and he is also a helper in the Hall of Merit, Zhao Quan has assigned him to help Tianyou before, so he recognizes it.
"Is Chief Envoy Xie here?" didn't answer the other party's words, Tianyou directly asked Xie Bi'an's whereabouts.
"Senior Brother Tianyou, are you looking for Chief Envoy Xie? That's not a coincidence, someone just came to pass the word, and Chief Envoy Xie hurriedly went out, but if you tell me about general affairs, I can also help you do it." ”
Tianyou thought about it and nodded: "It's really not a big deal, I need to send another bounty task." ”
As soon as he heard that he had been given a task, the handyman immediately accepted it. "It's simple, Senior Brother Tianyou only needs to tell the junior brother the specific content of the reward, and the junior brother can help you fill in the task and publish it. ”
"I need a skeleton. ”
"Be careful. The handyman reminded Tianyou of the steps upstairs, and then asked in surprise: "I don't know what kind of skeleton it is? If it's an ordinary thing, you should go to the Corpse Soul Palace." ”
"Of course it's not your average commodity. Tianyou explained as he walked up the stairs: "I need a high-level skeleton, preferably a Soul Eater Skeleton or a Demon Soul Skeleton King, in short, the higher the level, the better." ”
"Do you want to be so advanced?" the handyman was a little surprised when he heard this, and then fell into thought.
At this time, the three of them had already gone up to the second floor, and when they saw Zhao Quan walking out from behind the counter not far away, they obviously also found Tianyou.
Unlike the handyman, Zhao Quan obviously knew about Tianyou looking for someone to fight in the past few days, and he didn't ask where the injury on his face came from, he took over the previous work of the handyman and helped Tianyou to the next room to sit down, and by the way, he also asked Tianyou about his intention. However, when he knew that Tianyou was going to reward the skeleton, he didn't immediately help Tianyou handle the bounty task, but reconfirmed: "Is it true that the higher the level, the better?"
"You have a high-level skeleton in your hand?" Tianyou instantly thought of the reason why Zhao Quan asked.
"It's not. Zhao Quan shook his head: "How can I have that ability." Zhao Quan began to explain. "That's right. Didn't there be an accident in the White Bone Cave of the Tianshan Mountains a few days ago? Senior brother, you are a participant, you should know, right?"
Tianyou nodded.
Zhao Quan immediately followed: "Since the news that you brought back that magic weapon, the head of the sect has concluded that this matter is no accident, so he sent the elite of this sect to investigate all the known evil places in this neutral zone. I didn't expect this investigation to really find that there was a problem in a gloomy place, and I heard that the two immortal chiefs who went to investigate also broke one in it, and the remaining one also came back with an injury. Yesterday at noon, Fan Chang led the team to deal with this matter, and he just came back half an hour ago. No, I heard that Fan Changenvoy was seriously injured, and Xie Changenvoy couldn't sit still, so he went to inquire about the news. ”
Tianyou listened to Zhao Quan's words, and said after a while: "How do you know about this?"
"Someone just came to inform Xie Chang that I happened to be sorting out the scrolls in the middle, so I listened to one or two. ”
Tianyou nodded, and then warned Zhao Quan: "If the immortal elders don't say this, you should not hear it, don't spread it, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." ”
Zhao Quan hurriedly said: "Am I the kind of person who doesn't know how to measure? Isn't this Senior Brother, you are your own person, and I happened to talk about this before I heard it with you? Oh yes, just now Senior Brother Tianyou said that you want skeletons, that's just right, I heard that the team came back in addition to a lot of wounded, but also brought back several high-level undead, among which there should be the skeletons that Senior Brother needs." ”
"It's really possible. Do you know where they are now?"
"I heard that it was sent to the Danding Sect. ”
Tianyou thought for a moment and immediately stood up, and stretched out his hand to Little Sister Qi, "Let's go." ”
"Senior brother, are you going to Danding Sect?" Zhao Quan looked very anxious and stopped Tianyou and asked.
Tianyou knew what he was worried about, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your senior brother and I are not stupid." I'll go to Shizun first, and then I'll take a detour when I find out Shizun's whereabouts. ”
Zhao Quan's blocking of Tianyou is nothing more than worrying that Tianyou will expose his leakage as soon as he goes, after all, this matter is still classified in the door, if Tianyou is stunned and rushes towards the skeleton, then it will be clear that someone has leaked secrets? But Tianyou is obviously very shrewd, and he thought of the problem at once, so he deliberately went to the Treasure Weapon Sect first under the pretext of looking for Zhenyuan Shangxian, and when he couldn't find Zhenyuan Shangxian, he could naturally inquire about Zhenyuan's whereabouts of Shangxian, and then chase after Danding Sect, which is reasonable.
Considering that it was not convenient to run over with an injury at this time, Tianyou finally went back to the cave first, and asked Moon Shadow to help him deal with all the obvious scars, and then took Qi Xiaomei on the road.
As he thought, it was impossible for the high-level sect leader of Zhenyuan Shangxian to ignore this matter, so it was natural that Tianyou pounced, and then asked from Senior Brother Ye Sanshan where Zhenyuan Shangxian went, and then rushed over. It's a pity that he went back to find Moon Shadow to heal his injuries and delayed a lot of time, and this time he was actually a step too late. By the time he arrived at the Danding Sect, there was no one here, and after asking, he learned that this group of people had gone to the Corpse Soul Palace.
Tianyou understood after thinking about it, this must be running for the undead who brought back.
"Yes. I went around in a circle and went back to the Corpse Soul Palace! I knew that I might as well come and wait!"
