Chapter 52: Rebellion
"Dead air? Putting it to yourself? Lin was stunned for a moment, he had never heard that he could cultivate by absorbing the qi of a dead man.
"Well, we absorb the qi of the dead, just like you absorb the aura, it is a cultivation method."
"Is there any side effect from absorbing the breath of the dead?" Lin asked in surprise.
"Yes." The woman explained, "If you breathe in the breath of a dead person, you will get yourself with a corpse-like smell. ”
"Then why can't I smell the stench of corpses on you?"
"We have centuries-old Zen incense to cover the smell on our bodies, and Taoist friends naturally can't smell it."
"Oh, I see." Lin nodded and asked, "Do you know how to do illusions?" ”
"No, it won't." The woman said.
"Won't?" Lin looked at her in shock, his expression gradually cold.
Seeing him like this, the woman hurriedly explained: "When mortals inhale corpse qi, they will hallucinate, so the last time you saw them fighting in the desert, this is what it meant. ”
"The corpse gas is the white mist?"
"Hmm."
"Then why did the guard die so miserably last time? Could it be that it is also caused by corpse qi hallucinations? ”
"That's the Necrogenous Turbidity Technique I cast."
"Necrophyrcism?" Lin Jingzhen didn't ask, this technique sounded very weird.
"You're now at the seventh level of Qi training?"
"Returning to Daoyou, I have already practiced the eighth layer of qi."
"You practice the eighth layer of qi, and I practice the ninth layer of qi, why do you say that we are the opponents of the national teacher?"
"Although I am not in the foundation building period, our brother's body is a bronze corpse, which is almost equivalent to a monk in the foundation building period, and it is not the same as being cut off by a Daoist friend with a sword that is more than three inches deep."
After the woman finished speaking, she opened the clothes on the chest of the dead man's face, revealing a shocking scar.
"This is the wound that Daoyou left on my brother."
Lin was stunned for a while, she obviously didn't know that the wound she left on the dead man's face in the jungle was the "sword" that she had raised for two years.
"That day my sword slashed at the dead man's face, and it was you who made that woman's miserable snort, right?"
"Hui Daoyou, it's the little woman." The woman paused and added, "We corpse cultivators, each with our own natal corpse slaves, just like you righteous path monks, have our own natal magic weapons. However, our corpse slave is different from your magic weapon, and our natal corpse slave will increase as the strength of the monk increases. ”
"Your brother is higher in cultivation than you, why can you control your brother's body?"
"It should be related to blood relations."
"Oh." Lin was stunned and pretended to have a look of sudden realization, he had already asked everything he should have asked, and now he was thinking about whether to take risks and fight hard with the national teacher.
The woman saw that Lin Jingzhen hadn't made the next move, so she asked, "Do you still have concerns?" ”
"Hmm." Lin nodded in surprise and didn't hide it, "I don't know how much I can believe what you just said?" ”
"How much do you believe?" Hearing this, the woman was stunned for a while, and just now she confided her true feelings, it turned out that in the eyes of this young Taoist, how much can she believe it?
"Huh." The woman couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Since the Taoist chief refuses to help, the little woman won't bother." ”
With that, he beckoned to the dead man's face, and reflexively exited the cabin.
"Wait."
The woman was overjoyed, and turned around, "The Taoist can answer..."
Lin interrupted her voice, pointed to the spirit stone on the ground, and said, "It's useless, take it back." ”
The woman paused, then shook her head, "It's useless for me to keep them, so I'll give them to fellow Daoists." ”
"The national teacher asked you to kill me, and you went back empty-handed, how are you going to deal with it?"
"The original intention of the national teacher was to let me stop you, whether I can kill you or not is only secondary."
"What do you mean?"
"The national teacher wants to turn the entire Cangzhou City into a dojo for his cultivation."
"The whole city?" Lin took a deep breath, this national teacher is even more crazy than the old witch, the old witch only dares to sneak people up the mountain, but this national teacher wants to turn the people of the entire city into his rations.
"When did you start?"
"It started half a year ago, and now it's the real fight for the control of Cangzhou."
"You're going to rebel?"
"Sort of." When the woman finished speaking, she did not stop, but began to leave.
"Wait."
"Huh?" The woman turned back again.
"Where are you now?"
"Taishi's Mansion."
"Taishi?"
…
In the palace of the prince and the princess, the fighting is still continuing, and many people have fallen on the ground, and the smell of fish is tangy, like a purgatory.
King Chu Huai was slashed on the arm, his flesh and blood were blurred, and he was surrounded by the people of the Wang family at this time, his face was as white as paper.
The national teacher did not participate in this mortal dispute, after all, with his current means, with a casual wave of his hand, he could fall a large piece.
He looked up and watched coldly, as if the fight had nothing to do with him.
"Master Wang, why don't you ask the immortal behind you to help?" King Chu Huai gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and said to Wang Yi beside him.
"Immortals?" Wang Yi was stunned.
"Master Wang, I heard that your son was selected by the Immortal Gate to practice in the mountains, and if you don't invite the immortals behind him to come out to help at this time, I'm afraid that this Cangzhou City will be a river of blood and miserable."
"Your Majesty, it's not that the minister doesn't want to ask the dog fairy gate to help, it's really that the minister doesn't know where the dog is where the immortal holy land is, and the dog is still in retreat, and he hasn't come down the mountain yet..."
"But what?"
"But the dog's junior brother is in Cangzhou City."
"Then don't invite him over."
"He..." Wang Yi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "His Majesty has issued a wanted warrant." ”
"You're talking about the young Daoist?"
"Exactly."
"I was also forced by Zhang Pifu and the national teacher, so I issued that wanted warrant." King Chu Huai smiled bitterly, "Master Wang, you should quickly invite him to come over to help, and after the matter is completed, I will allow him to be the position of the national teacher." ”
"It's not that the minister doesn't want to ask him to come out to help, but the minister doesn't know where he is now."
"This?" King Chu Huai smiled bitterly, and suddenly, he seemed to have made up his mind: "If our people really can't support General Yue Long's return, then you can kill me and protect yourself." ”
When Wang Yi heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”
"Why don't you dare? Anyway, I will die at their hands, and if I can save you, I will be alone. ”
"This is a big rebellion, the minister doesn't dare, please don't persuade the emperor."
"Your stubbornness is still the same as it was ten years ago, and it hasn't changed."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."
"Compliment?" King Chu Huai was stunned, if this is also called praise, then I don't know how many people have been praised in my life.
"Do you hate me?"
"How can a minister have the courage to hate the emperor."
"Ten years ago, the world was peaceful, I drove you out of Cangzhou, and ten years later, the genius was in turmoil, and I called you back again, and let your Wang family face a catastrophe, Wang Aiqing, do you really hate me?"
"It's too late for the minister to thank the emperor, if it wasn't for the emperor who resigned the minister's official position ten years ago, the minister would not have enjoyed the joy of family gathering together in the past ten years, and ten years later, His Majesty can think of the minister, the minister will be very honored, how can he still talk about hating the emperor."
"Huh." King Chu Huai said: "It's still your princess who is generous, I'm the emperor, I calculate that and calculate this all day long, with a cautious heart, worried about this or that snooping on my country, I can't think that in the end, the country still has to give up." ”
"Your Majesty, if we hold on, there should be a glimmer of life."
"Vitality?" King Chu Huai pointed to the national teacher who was fighting this cricket in the corner over there, and said: "That immortal thief has not yet made a move, and we think that we are about to collapse, if he really makes a move, we will lie down directly." ”
Reclining boards?
Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine that this King Chu Huai also had such a humorous side, which was really rare.
"Wang Aiqing, you are waiting here, I am going to kill the enemy." At this time, King Chu Huai stood up impressively.
"Your Majesty, you are already injured."
"What are these little wounds? I will die on the battlefield and die in humiliation. As he spoke, he saw him holding a bloodstained long sword and rushing towards one of Prime Minister Zhang's private soldiers.
"Dog Emperor, if you don't come to die, when will you stay?"
Prime Minister Zhang was overjoyed when he saw that King Chu Huai rushed up to one of his private soldiers, and he was still worried about how to end this battle, but he couldn't wait to come over and die when he didn't think of it.
"The gang listened to the order, and the one who captured the Dog Emperor would be rewarded with one hundred taels, and if the Dog Emperor was killed, there would also be eighty taels of gold." Prime Minister Zhang did not forget to add again: "If the widow ascends the throne in the future, the generals who share the weal and woe with the widow today are all official positions." ”
In the face of the rebels, these encouragements are indeed useful.
Gu Changshou and the others also felt tightness in their hands, and they all frowned.
The fighting continued, and there were fewer and fewer people on the scene, but there were more and more blood stains on the ground.
"Dog Emperor, give the widow a death." Prime Minister Zhang saw that King Chu Huai was trapped around by a few of his own private soldiers, so he was overjoyed, and took out the short knife on his waist and tried to stab him.
"Zhang Pifu, before you take the position, you call yourself a widow, and I will make you a real widow." Before the words fell, King Chu Huai swung his long sword, and his whole body of force was exerted to the extreme in an instant.
"Bell, bell!"
A long sword, slamming up countless sword flowers, broke free from the encirclement of several soldiers, and stabbed towards Prime Minister Zhang who was rushing towards him.
With a "shaking bell", the short knife in Prime Minister Zhang's hand fell off and fell to the ground, and was hit by King Chu Huai's sword in the arm, and with a snort, Prime Minister Zhang let out a miserable scream, and the whole arm was suddenly red with blood.
"Zhang Pifu, just have some skills, and dare to compete with me for this country?" King Chu Huai sneered, swung his sword hard, and took his head away.
"National teacher, save me!"
"Rubbish!"
The national teacher who was fighting with crickets on the side did not look back with a flick of his fingers, and an invisible energy rushed to King Chu Huai's long sword, only to hear the explosion of the "bell".
King Chu Huai only felt that his arm sank, and his body suddenly felt as if he had been hammered, and he involuntarily fell backwards and retreated several steps.
"Wow!"
As soon as he stabilized his body, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Your Majesty."
"Out of the way." King Chu Huai hurriedly shook his hand, only looked at the long sword that had been shattered in his hand, and asked, "General Zhuo, do you have a good weapon?" ”
"Your Majesty, you wait, let the ministers protect you."
"All the brothers have been injured, I can help as much as I can, and don't forget, I used to be a martial arts practitioner, what are these small injuries?"
