Brother Long and Grandma were talking with worried faces, and I got up from the ground and ran quickly in their direction, panting.

This is just the moment I came in. That terrible ancient corpse gave me a dismount. Obviously, Grandma and Brother Long said that the Dark Spirit King in my soul has a suppressive effect on this ancient corpse, and this ancient corpse is also much more sensitive to me than others. It is very likely that I provoked its natural reaction as soon as I entered this tomb.

If it weren't for Brother Long's quick reaction and Grandma's strong enough, I guess I would have hung up by now.

Thinking of this, I feel a little bitter in my heart. Obviously, my Dao cultivation is different from these powerful characters in the Xuanmen Spell Realm, but I will always be involved in these mysterious supernatural forces that face higher and more powerful. For example, this time, it involves the Dark Spirit King and this mysterious ancient corpse in the depths of my soul.

But since it's an established fact, I won't run away from it. Taking a deep breath, he relaxed his emotions a little, and asked Brother Long and Grandma, "What should we do next?" ”

Grandma stretched out the white bone cane in her hand and pointed at the two quaint bronze dandings on both sides of the platform where the ancient corpse was located: "These two bronze dandings, according to the speculation of the third ancestor of the Jin family, should have been discovered by the first generation of ancestors of our Jin family and this mysterious ancient corpse. It is very likely that it is the possession of this mysterious ancient corpse during its lifetime. After several generations of efforts by the Jin family, it was finally discovered at the time of the sixth ancestor that this bronze danding had the ability to refine evil qi. ”

"What does it mean to refine evil qi?" I didn't quite understand what Grandma meant.

Perhaps because I was at the heart of the crackdown on this mysterious corpse, she took the trouble to explain some of the relevant circumstances to me.

"Evil spirit, in fact, is not a specific term in Taoism. It is a general term for a type of breath and power. For example, it represents the breath of the gloomy side of the mountains and rivers in the underworld, the luck of the country and the collapse of the entire dynasty in troubled times, and the gloomy atmosphere accumulated in the most wild and primitive deep mountains and old forests...... These are all evil qi, and they are the dark side of this heavenly way. ”

Hearing this, my heart moved, and a thought sprung up. Could it be ......

"Under the way of heaven, all living beings. In fact, human beings are just one of them, although they have extremely high wisdom and understanding, but their individual strength is really weak. Therefore, in the ancient wilderness, human beings were weak and could only be food for all kinds of ferocious beasts. It was not until they gathered together with the increase in wisdom and began to understand the mysteries of the world that they began to spread civilization and practice magic. However, in the ethereal darkness, there are many powerful powers that human beings cannot comprehend. For example, something that cannot be seen or touched, such as evil qi, may be just a relatively empty thing. But out of it, something powerful and actually existing...... As you might have guessed, it's the Dark Spirit King. ”

Grandma's voice seemed ethereal, ethereal and mysterious, as if it had come from ancient times and the more distant barbaric era of slash-and-burn farming. Brother Long, who has always been bohemian and arrogant, also had a serious face at this time, and said in a deep voice: "That's right, the Dark Spirit King, it is that all the evil qi in this world has been materialized. It is not a pure monster, but a powerful supernatural being born from evil energy. This is the conclusion reached by some of the most powerful old guys in the Daomen, but they don't know exactly what the situation is. ”

I see!!!

This has haunted me since I was a child, and a powerful presence looms in my soul, the Dark Spirit King. It is not an existence as we usually know, but a condensation of the ethereal evil qi, representing the evil qi in this world! I was shocked by this result.

In my soul...... What a terrible and powerful existence it is! And not only this Dark Spirit King, but also the Blood Spirit King, which is hidden deeper in my blood than the Dark Spirit King!!

What ethereal thing in this world is it the embodiment of?

This thought made me feel even more powerless. It is as if he is a boat floating on the ocean, facing all kinds of terrifying and huge things in the depths of the ocean, as well as tsunamis, storms and other forces of nature.

"But Jiang Ming, you don't have to worry too much. Many of us gathered extraordinary powers to seal the Dark Spirit King in your soul by stratagem, but in fact we have weakened the power of the Dark Spirit King to the extreme. It wasn't long before the Dark Spirit King's evil aura erupted to erode and devour your soul. We were anxious, and we finally found Jinjiazhai with you, and after communicating with grandma, we finally asked her to find a way to solve this problem. ”

The grandmother next to her nodded and continued: "So, I started to get on your thief ship at that time." ”

Hearing this, I already understood. Grandma said that these two bronze pills could refine evil qi, and said that the Dark Spirit King was actually the condensation and incarnation of all evil qi in this world......

Then it is obvious that when I was young, the Dark Spirit King's evil qi in my body erupted to devour my soul, and it was brought here. In this two bronze pills that belonged to the mysterious ancient corpse, he was saved through the secret method.

As I gradually came into contact with more and more secrets, I was no longer as shocked as I used to be, and I began to learn to be calm. I took a deep breath and asked, "Then how are Brother Long and Grandma sure that the Dark Spirit King will definitely be able to suppress this mysterious ancient corpse?" Speaking of which, it should be that this mysterious ancient corpse has a suppressive effect on this dark spirit king. The two bronze Danding relics it left behind were not able to suppress the Dark Spirit King? ”

Brother Long looked at Grandma, and I followed his gaze. Obviously, the secret of this needs to be answered by the patriarch of the Jin family.

Grandma pondered for a while before saying, "Actually, I only discovered this thing in the last few years. Sixteen years ago, Xiaolong and some others came to our Jinjiazhai to ask for help with you, who were already weak. At that time, I already had a premonition that some of the ancient corpses in this 10,000 corpse mound were starting to be wrong, but because of the sincerity of the little dragons' words and the respect for a small life, I still brought them here. Put you into a bronze pill on the right, and use the secret method created by the sixth ancestor of my Jin family to dissolve all the evil qi in your body, and finally weaken the Dark Spirit King who has been extremely weak again, and calm down in your body and no longer make trouble. However, how powerful such a thing is the Spirit King! There is no way to completely refine the Dark Spirit King evil qi in your body at once, you can only seal it in this bronze pill and wear it out for a long time, and the bronze pill on the right side can no longer be used. ”

Grandma paused, and then continued: "Originally, I estimated that it would take about thirty years to refine the evil qi of the Dark Spirit King. However, three years ago, after the movements of the powerful ancient corpses in this 10,000 corpse mound became more obvious, I came here again to conduct a comprehensive and careful examination. I discovered an amazing situation. That is, the bronze pill on the right side of this mysterious ancient corpse that was originally used to refine the evil qi of the Dark Spirit King in your body can actually be used again. So where did the evil qi that had been suppressed in it and wanted to spend a long time refining go? Come with me and take a closer look at the situation here. ”

She leaned on the bone crutch in her hand and walked in the direction of the ancient corpse in front of her. Although I was a little uneasy in my heart, Brother Long and Grandma were both next to me, so I was a little relieved, and after all, the bronze danding was still a certain distance from the ancient corpse on the three-layer circular platform.

We walked to the side of the bronze pill on the right side of the platform, and took a closer look at this bronze pill, only to find that it was even older than I thought. The texture of bronze and the aura that emanates from it are very old, and even makes people wonder if it will be even older than this mysterious ancient corpse itself.

Will...... The mysterious ancient corpse on this platform is not the first owner of this bronze danding?

This somewhat surprising thought popped into my mind.

"Xiaolong, Jiang Ming, look here." Grandma stretched out her hand and pointed to the stone tablet near the bottom of this bronze Danding, "The position of this bronze Danding is between the two stone tablets, but it seems to be relatively close to the stone tablet in front." ”

Brother Long and I stepped forward and saw a strange scene.

I saw that from the foot of the three supporting tripods of this bronze danding, there was actually a purple-black vine-like thing the thickness of a thumb extending out. The thing clung to the ground, and after a few meters of distance, it reached the bottom of the stele.

This purple-black thing says it's a vine, but it's not. Because it is sometimes clear, sometimes vague, constantly shifting between nothingness and physical existence. It also exudes an aura that I feel very familiar with.

Obviously, this thing is not a real vine plant, and it is impossible for this ancient bronze danding to grow a plant inexplicably. This thing is a pure energy. And...... It is the energy that belongs to the Dark Spirit King!!

As the host of the Dark Spirit King, I can't be mistaken.

The purple-black vine formed by the energy of the Dark Spirit King spread to the stone tablet erected by the first generation ancestor of the Jin family, and the stone tablet wall on the side with its back to us actually showed a faint purple and black mixed color. We were facing it so we couldn't see it, but now we can see it when we turn to the rear.

"Could it be ......" Brother Long looked at it for a while, as if he suddenly understood what was coming, his eyes flashed, he suddenly straightened up, raised his head, and looked up along the stone tablet. After reaching the top, he followed the thick iron chain that stretched out from the top of the stone tablet and looked in the direction of the ancient corpse.

"I see!" Brother Long suddenly realized: "No wonder Grandma, you sent me a message three years ago, asking me to bring this kid Jiang Ming to help, and I need to use the power of the Dark Spirit King in his body." But Jiang Ming was still young at that time, and there was no way at all, so I could only refuse. ”

I didn't understand what was going on, so I asked Brother Long. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the mysterious ancient corpse on the platform whose hands and feet were bound by iron chains: "Look at his right wrist, the skin there. ”

Hearing him say this, I noticed that the skin on the wrist of the mysterious corpse's right hand was not the same as the dry skin of the rest of its body. It's the kind that no longer dries up, as if it's filled with a sense of life. In other words, the skin on his wrist near the chain actually began to show signs of recovery.

From death to rebirth!!

This...... How is this possible?!

My whole body buzzed, and I felt a strong sense of absurdity and incredibleness. How is it possible for a dead corpse to have such a change towards the skin of a living person? It's incredible, isn't it? Even in the legend of Xuanmen Taoism, the souls of those masters do not disperse after death, and they can arbitrarily take away the corpse and borrow the soul to return the soul, or directly exist in the world in the form of a soul for a long time. But the physical body itself is objectively and practically existent, and if it is corrupted, it is rotten, so how can it be full of vitality again?

Grandma saw the shocked expressions of Brother Long and me, so she nodded and said, "When I first found out about this situation three years ago, I was just as shocked as you two. At that time, the scope of skin renewal was not so much, and it has increased a lot in the past three years. ”

Brother Long nodded: "I see." It's weird, but it's probably a good thing for us to ignore why it's happening. Because, in the place of the new skin, there was not the slightest trace of yin and evil energy, but it was frank and open, full of a Taoist ethereal and heroic aura. Thinking about it, this ancient corpse should be a respectable Dao Sect predecessor before his death, but he doesn't know what happened. ”

"So now there are two possibilities. First, it was the power of the Dark Spirit King in this bronze pill that was attracted by this ancient corpse, so it slowly spread out and passed on to the past. Second, it was this mysterious ancient corpse that absorbed the power of the bronze pill through this chain and stone tablet. But no matter which way it is, when the evil and ruthless aura on this ancient corpse and the evil aura of the dark aura merge, it actually changed into pure Taoist spiritual power again......"

"It's like fighting poison with poison! There may still be a faint remnant of this senior's soul, and he also wants to ...... Resurrect and get rid of the evil of the corpse! Brother Long finally said such an answer.

Grandma nodded: "Xiaolong really deserves to be called one of the most perceptive young people by the five people of this generation, and he is really thorough." That's right, the state of this ancient corpse reminds me of a legend among the corpse chasers. That's a zombie, if it's due to chance or unknown reasons, it's going to be reborn with a psychic mind. To put it simply, it's a newborn remnant. But this remnant soul is not the soul of the person who belonged to the corpse before it was born, but a newly born consciousness. This consciousness has nothing to do with the soul of the zombie before it was born, and if there is still a small amount of the soul of the zombie before it was born, the two will even fight! ”

Although what Brother Long and Grandma said was full of all kinds of mysteries, and at first I heard it, I was a little confused, but when I heard this, I also understood what was going on.

Obviously, combined with the situation that Grandma said that the zombie will give birth to a new spirit by chance. It is very likely that the mysterious ancient corpse on this platform has been born with a new spirit in the long years! And judging from the terrifying and evil aura that permeates this ancient corpse now, this reborn spirit is probably not a good kind.

However, the power of the Dark Spirit King in the bronze pill tripod suppressed the power of this mysterious ancient corpse. Perhaps it is precisely because of this suppression that the extremely rare soul that still remains in this ancient corpse that belongs to the Taoist master before his death has a slight upper hand at the wrist that touches the thick iron chain.

I don't know if this guess is correct, and I don't know why the skin on the wrist is reviving as if it were about to become a living person. But at least we know that if more of the Dark Spirit King's power is infused into it, it will be able to make this evil and evil ancient corpse less strange and dangerous.

Maybe you can't even ...... Be a "good" zombie that can communicate and be used for us. Even if it is unsuccessful, let the strength of the two consciousnesses in this ancient corpse be equal, and let them fight with each other, it will also make it powerless to make waves again, ensuring the safety of this ten thousand corpse mound and the Jin family.

I have to say, sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy! This grandma's plan is really sure to make money without losing money. But...... It's just a little hard for me, it's really sad.

But then again, let's not mention that when I was young, I was almost killed by the Dark Spirit King in my body, but this grandma's approach is indeed correct and reasonable, and I guess I will agree to him. After all, if the powerful and mysterious ancient corpse on this platform really completely turned into a zombie and broke through the seal, not only Jinjiazhai, but also the entire Xiangxi, even Hunan Province, and even the whole of China, would be in great danger. In particular, China itself is now facing threats from many forces.

Now that Grandma has told me and Brother Long the whole thing, the last trace of doubt and displeasure in my heart has disappeared. secretly cheered himself up in his heart, and then said to Brother Long and Grandma: "Well, I understand. Brother Long, grandma, I'm ready. Whatever you need me to do, tell me. But there's one thing I might need to tell you. ”

Maybe they didn't expect me to agree so happily, Brother Long and Grandma were a little surprised, but soon there was a look of relief in their eyes. Brother Long laughed heroically, and slapped one hand on my shoulder: "It is worthy of being my disciple of the Hundred Miles Crazy Dragon, there is really a kind!" If you are not afraid, you can do it! Don't worry, grandma has promised me before that she will never let you be hurt. You should have a good night's sleep. ”

I was slapped by Brother Long, this guy still likes to slap me so much, and he is very heavy. My grandmother kindly asked me what was the matter.

I told my brother what happened when I was in the Goguryeo Barbarian City and I accidentally fell into an underground cave. The cave was probably built by Zuo Ci's descendants, and it was full of human-skin monsters. At the end of the cavern was a cold, dark green pool, and after my body absorbed the liquid from the pool, the Dark Spirit King fell into a deep sleep, and still did not wake up.

After listening to my story, Brother Long and Grandma both frowned, revealing a contemplative expression. After a long while, Brother Long shook his head: "I don't know what's going on in this situation. Although I know part of the situation in the Goguryeo barbarian city, I don't know much about it. ”

As for the grandmother of the Jin family, the situation in the ancient Xuanmen ruins in the primeval forest of the northeast thousands of kilometers away is even more unclear.

I shrugged my shoulders: "I guess it's not a big problem, anyway, you want to channel the power of the Dark Spirit King into this mysterious ancient corpse." Now that the Dark Spirit King is asleep, it's just up to you to find a way to revive it. ”

In the end, after discussing with Grandma for a while, Brother Long and Grandma decided to let me enter the bronze pill and transmit the power of the Dark Spirit King through this indirect way.

Before entering the Bronze Danding, Brother Long said to me with a serious expression: "Jiang Ming, I think you should have had contact and communication with the Dark Spirit King in the past ten years, right?" Actually, in essence, it should be one with you now. Your soul is its dwelling place, and if you live, it will have a chance. If you die, the Dark Spirit King dies immediately. So I am confident that it will protect you while it is still conscious and predictable, and will partly obey your commands. ”

I nodded and said, "I naturally know this, you and grandma can rest assured." I must take care of this most urgent matter first, and then come out and listen to you tell me the secrets of my life and your plans.

Brother Long and I looked at each other, and he changed his previous state of being a child, but nodded very seriously: "Okay, I promise you a stinky boy." Wait for you to come out of this bronze pill safely, and let the threat of this mysterious ancient corpse be lifted. I'll tell you exactly what happened and what we planned. ”

"Good! Deal! ”

I also smiled, and then, with the help of Brother Long and Grandma, I lifted the lid of this bronze danding on the right side and prepared to enter it. (To be continued.) )
