Chapter 45: The True Layout
In the house, although the positive and negative gossip array originally arranged by the owner of the house was collected by Xu Fan and "pasted" on the back of the immortal Taoist, the sense of layout in the house still exists, even after Xi Cheng entered this house, he obviously noticed that there seemed to be another kind of "rule" flowing in this room, but that rule was really fragile and imperceptible, even Xi Cheng only touched and sensed it slightly, but obviously, An ordinary room can have the feeling of being a space with its own rules, and if you look at it, you can see how amazing the owner of this room was in the realm of arrangement.
And now, Xi Cheng stepped on the arrogance that had been knocked unconscious by him with a series of fists before, and on the other side, a talisman was pasted on the forehead of the immortal Daoist, like a tumbler, and he kept shaking back and forth, but it should be Xu Fan's talisman seal is indeed very effective in restraining this kind of zombie, so for the time being, the immortal Daoist will break free from the shackles of the talisman and wake up.
Xu Fan was hit by the palm wind of the Immortal Daoist before, and then he was thrown against the wall, with a blue nose and swollen face, but no matter what, the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed, and of course, he did not want to hide it.
"Captain, this is a living corpse, a living corpse! Those ordinary zombies, even if they are general-level zombies and living corpses, are weak, no, in fact, they can't be compared at all! This Taoist priest can now prove that he must be a living corpse, so the guy under your feet should also be a living corpse, no doubt,, make a lot of money, two living corpses, really make a lot of money. Xu Fan was a little incoherent in surprise, which was rare for him who had always tended to be calm.
"Living corpses? What is a Living Corpse? Shouldn't corpses be dead, why add a 'living' word for Lu? Yao Wu asked.
"A living corpse, as the name suggests, is a living corpse, so to speak. They are already dead, but to a large extent, they are no different from the living. Their bodies may have died, but through special techniques and means, they can maintain their incorruptibility and maintain a state of false survival, and their minds and minds can continue to be preserved as they were before they were alive.
Zombies are a biological form derived from the complete death of a corpse, independent of the Three Realms. Not tolerated by heaven and earth, immortal and indestructible, but most of them are afraid of light, afraid of Lei Dian, afraid of peach wood, afraid of glutinous rice, afraid of black donkey hooves and so on, it can be said that there are many, many things that can restrain zombies, after all, this is also the result of the operation of the rules between heaven and earth, since zombies are born from dead corpses, so it is against the laws of heaven and earth. So there will be so many things between heaven and earth that can restrain them.
But living corpses are different, except that their bodies have died, they are actually the same as normal people!
The most straightforward way to explain it is. This Taoist priest is obviously a living corpse, but he can actually cultivate the Tao, a corpse. A sneaky thing can actually cultivate the Tao!
And they were able to use the talisman seal to attract the power of thunder and lightning to kill the enemy, which shows that the rules of heaven and earth have not excluded them. Treat them as if they were the living.
The most important thing is that living corpses not only have the qualifications for the tolerance of the rules of heaven and earth like living people, but also have some 'advantages' of zombies, yes, don't look at zombies are ugly and disgusting, but in fact, the existence of each creature must have a certain advantage, that is, the qualifications they rely on to exist in this world.
Zombies, with a long 'lifespan', hehe, I don't know if it's accurate to say that they have a quasi-lifespan, anyway, zombies can exist for a long time, and it is not a problem to exist for one or two hundred years, but most of them don't survive for three hundred years and turn into dust, otherwise the zombies in the Republic of China period will not basically all come out in Qing Dynasty official uniforms, and those who have survived for three hundred years are all big zombies and big devils, and they will definitely harm one party as soon as they run out.
In the real world, wasn't there a great drought in Yunnan a few years ago, in fact, an archaeological team went to dig an ancient tomb in Yunnan and released a drought fish inside, and then as soon as it came out, it attracted a radius of thousands of miles.
And the lifespan of a living corpse is completely comparable to that of a zombie, an ordinary living corpse is not a problem to live for two hundred years, and even the voice and appearance will not change in the slightest, and it will always be the same for two hundred years, because their bodies have long since died, so they will not be eroded by time.
Another point is that the body of the living corpse is almost the same as other zombies, extremely hard, and the sword is invulnerable, like this Taoist priest, when I dealt with him with Yao Wu at the beginning, how could I not break his body in a fight, if it weren't for the captain, you hit himself with the power of thunder and lightning in that way that even I find incredible, it is estimated that it will not be a simple matter to break through their body defenses. β
Xi Cheng tapped the arrogance under his feet with his toes, and said, "Since this kind of thing is so powerful, it should be difficult to refine." β
"It's not very difficult, but it's very difficult, from the pre-Qin period, some so-called qi refiners actually invented a method of refining living corpses, but that method is really a bit rough, to put it simply, it is to open a hole in the head of a living person, and slowly pour many kinds of precious substances similar to mercury into it, of course, it must also be supplemented by other secret methods and secret spells, and the person selected to refine the living corpse must also be a person who kills people without blinking, and there must be a strong evil qi condensed on the body."
Hearing this method, Yao Wu frowned obviously, even if she was not the kind of girl who was overflowing with kindness, but such a way of dying, it was indeed panicked to think about it.
"When making it like this, that person will die for a long time, and he will slowly taste the coming of death, and his heart will slowly accumulate infinite resentment, which is mixed with his own evil qi to form a unique aura.
Wait until the mercury is poured into the body, and the person is already dead, and then put on the armor, and then brand the runes at that time on the armor, generally speaking, if the above steps are successfully completed, a living corpse is even if it is made, but the success rate should be nearly one percent, even if it is a big empire, in fact, it can't afford such a huge consumption, because most of the people with a fierce spirit are soldiers in the army or extremely vicious death row prisoners, but these people are also limited in number, It is impossible to grasp and refine in large quantities and become failures.
This is the method of refining living corpses in the pre-Qin period. There are historical records that Qin Shi Huang once ordered the seizure of the world's weapons to cast twelve bronze people, in fact, this bronze man, even if there are twelve living corpses, even the first emperor of the great talent is shocked by the strength of the living corpses, in vain attempt to use twelve living corpses to Yongzhen Daqin, inheritance of tens of millions of generations, which is enough to show the horror and strength of the living corpses.
According to historical records, when Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, Liu Bang led the army into Xianyang. Xiao He once suggested that Liu Bang seal the treasures of the Qin Palace and prohibit the arson from wreaking havoc on the Qin Palace, and historians believe that this is Liu Bang showing weakness to Xiang Yu to prevent himself from being eliminated by Xiang Yu as a threat, but after Xiang Yu led the army into Xianyang, he burned Afang Palace, and the fire burned for several months, what is this for? Historians also said that Xiang Yu was brutal. In fact, the real reason is that there are twelve living corpses left by the First Emperor in the Afang Palace.
Even when Liu Bang's army entered the palace, it was intercepted by twelve living corpses in Afang's palace and lost its troops. At this time, Xiao He told Liu Bang to seal Qin Dianyu.
However, who is Xiao He? He was a monk through and through, and at that time there was no Taoist priest in the real sense, and there was no Taoist temple in the real sense. But Xiao He's identity is similar to that of the Heavenly Masters and National Teachers of the previous dynasties and dynasties, and it is precisely because of him that he can naturally see that the thorny twelve living corpses left by the First Emperor are not easy to provoke. Because even if the First Emperor is in a great position, Qin has lost his deer, and the world has changed hands, these twelve living corpses still abide by the orders ordered by the First Emperor, guard the Qin Palace, and survive forever.
So, Liu Bang in his own ' Under the persuasion of Xiao He, the national teacher, decisively ordered to stop, no longer planning to waste soldiers and horses here, and left the entire Afang Palace to Xiang Yu, in fact, after Xiang Yu entered Xianyang City, it was a few days before he suddenly burned Afang Palace, not as soon as he entered the city, he couldn't wait to burn it, what is the reason, it is very simple, the twelve living corpses in the Qin Palace are indeed too powerful, even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, can't do them, seeing that his big Chu elite can't attack a Qin Palace, the overlord of Western Chu has the most temper and ordered to burn Afang Palace, and the fire is endless for months, which is the real reason why the overlord burned Afang Palaceγ
After the Afang Palace was burned, the twelve living corpses also disappeared, and I don't know whether Lu Dao was burned by fire or because the Qin Palace that the First Emperor asked them to guard was no longer there, so they left separately, and these can no longer be verified.
Therefore, it is difficult to refine the living corpse, but once the refining is successful, it is very powerful, and the First Emperor can only refine twelve living corpses with the strength of the whole country, but he can actually block the trampling of the two male lords Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. And the two living corpses in front of us, if they were placed in ancient times, only cold weapons, and no RPG and other things, they definitely have the ability to stir up the situation!
However, since the Han Dynasty, the art of living corpse alchemy and runes have slowly lost their inheritance, and some emperors, generals, and even kings' tombs may have fierce generals under their command to hold armor to accompany the burial, but that kind of thing cannot be called a living corpse at all, at most it has become a more powerful zombie by chance. Just like the white flag zombie we encountered before, the guy who borrowed the corpse to resurrect Feng Shijie is just a zombie, because he is a general in front of him, and the killing is very heavy, so he can become a zombie after death can be much higher than ordinary zombies. β
Yao Wu pointed to Xu Fan's head, and said in some astonishment: "How do you know these things?" Even Yao Wu felt that the secrets hidden in the historical records really exceeded the limit of what an otaku could obtain on the Internet.
"Well, because I read a book by chance, called "Qimen Dunjia", which contains descriptions and records about living corpses, and the person who left this book added his own notes to this book, and some secrets were seen from the notes." Xu Fan summoned his soul into this room and told the story of exhausting his mental power to read the book.
"Your luck is too ......" Regarding Xu Fan's luck, Yao Wu really didn't know what to say.
"Why don't you ask the captain? After a while, it seems that he has completely changed a person, from a cold tough guy style to a next-door Oba style, even if it is a full body plastic surgery, it is not so fast. The most important thing is that the captain's strength has improved like a rocket, and the guy at the captain's feet before was able to fight with the captain, but just now, he was only beaten by the captain with a sandbag. I kind of understand that our strength is improving step by step. Captain, he was promoted by double or even several times his speed. β
Xi Cheng also told what happened to him under the blood-colored vines, and sighed in the end:
"I'm a lost horse this time, although I have lost my blood power and magic skills, and I have become an ordinary human being, but my current strength has indeed improved a lot compared to my previous state...... Ahem. β
"Captain, are you coughing because there is something hidden in your body after reshaping your body?" Xu Fan asked.
"No, I guess, I've been soaking in the icy liquid for a little longer. And then...... It's a cold. Xi Cheng said helplessly.
Xu Fan and Yao Wu both showed surprised expressions, the captain who could recover on his own even if he had a broken arm or leg in the past actually caught a cold? Even if he loses his other strength and becomes an ordinary person, but this cold is too much of a divine turn, right?
However, Xi Cheng didn't mind catching a cold, but said with a smile on the corner of his mouth:
"I didn't expect that after so many years, I would be able to experience the feeling of a cold again. It's also quite interesting, or rather, it's nice to be an ordinary person. β
"Captain. You said you met a zombie baby boy at the root of a blood vine, and the momentum it exudes is comparable to that of a general-level zombie? β
"Yes, if it weren't for the fact that I forced him to absorb all the two attribute energies in my body and make it explode on its own, maybe now. I've long since turned into a pool of dry bones. β
"The ancient name of that blood-colored vine should be called the Revenant Vine, the reason why the land is blood-colored, and the reason why the vine is blood-colored. It is because this plant is extremely difficult to cultivate, and must be irrigated with virgin blood every day, and after a hundred days, it can absorb the nutrients of heaven and earth and feed itself.
And this means that at least a hundred virgin girls died for this, Cixi's old woman is a dead pervert, it is normal for her to have that thing in her mausoleum, after all, with her personality of wanting to drag Emperor Guangxu to die together before she died, she will not care how much evil will be caused by cultivating this thing, she only thinks that she will have this thing to take care of after her death, and no one will dare to touch her mausoleum.
But sluts have to be sluts, Cixi never expected that after her death, Sun Dianying would appear as a stunned seed, and directly led his soldiers and horses to dig her tomb with explosives.
However, there should be no zombie baby boy in the root of the blood-colored vine under the blood-colored land in Cixi's mausoleum, this zombie baby boy should be arranged by another master, using a congenital stillbirth, that is, a stillborn baby, a stillborn baby who has never seen the real sun, with the blessing of secret techniques, the stillborn baby will be placed at the root of this blood-colored vine, and after a hundred years, the stillborn will be regenerated in another way, and the life of this blood-colored vine will be connected together, I don't know if this stillborn child is a manifestation of the consciousness of the blood-colored vine or if it has its own consciousness. However, it will definitely raise the threat of this blood-colored land to a big level, and even the captain you almost fell into it, which shows the horror of this thing. β
Xi Cheng didn't have much interest in expressing his feelings about escaping from death, because his experience of escaping death was too much, and he had long been dull. However, he saw the bloody back of the immortal Daoist and asked:
"If I'm not mistaken, you put Yao Wu's chain knife into this Taoist priest's body, do you want to refine the weapon?"
"That's right, because this living corpse was smashed by the captain, it is estimated that those lightning bolts broke some of the seals and secret spells inside him, which is equivalent to cutting off his vitality, as soon as the death qi surges, he begins to become an old zombie who is not divided into sanity, but because he has maintained his sanity and stayed in the world as a living corpse for hundreds of years, his body has long accumulated incomparably rich dead and evil qi.
And the serial knife is the most favorite of the evil qi, if it swallows enough evil qi, it can also be advanced, so I asked Yao Wu to throw the serial knife into the body of this Taoist priest, and then I used the positive and negative gossip diagram in the room to seal the body of this Taoist priest, so as not to leak out of these good evil qi in vain, it is estimated that in half a day, the evil qi in his body will be absorbed by the serial knife, and the power of the serial knife will be greatly strengthened at that time. β
Xi Cheng nodded, indicating that he understood Xu Fan's intentions.
However, at this time, Xu Fan shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's just that, until now, I don't understand who this person who has the ability to create two living corpses and arrange the strange place of Fengmen Village is, I think, it will not be the kind of person who is unknown in the history books." β
"I know who Lu Dao is." Xi Cheng said lightly.
"Huh?" Xu Fan looked at Xi Cheng and found that Xi Cheng pointed to a calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall and said: "Love the people like a true brother, and establish a new monarch to repair Xijing." A thousand words are true, and they are left to the growth of the people. β
"...... this?" Xu Fan found that he had never read this poem, and this poem was too strange.
This is not a poem in the true sense of the word, it is a passage in the "Song of Baked Cakes", and every answer in "Song of Baked Cakes" is like a riddle, like the "prophecy" of Nostradamus, written very implicitly, but very accurately. And its author is called Liu Ji, well, maybe you should be more familiar with Liu Ji's other name, that is-Liu Bowen. β
Xicheng pointed out the author of this calligraphy and painting, and at the same time, it is equivalent to pointing out the real layout of this house and even the entire Fengmen Village! (To be continued......)
