Chapter 104: Thousand Corpses Pill
It is recorded on the Blood Yuan Gong that refining the "Thousand Corpse Pill" requires slaughtering at least a thousand mortals and absorbing the essence of the body of a thousand people through special techniques before it can be refined. To absorb the essence of a mortal's body, that is, to absorb all the bodily fluids in the mortal's body until it is absorbed into a dry corpse.
Liu Yu finally knew why the villagers of Xiaowei Village had turned into dried corpses, and it turned out that their corpses were all used by demons to refine the "Thousand Corpse Pill" and directly sucked into dried corpses.
Liu Yu exuded a chill in his heart, this Tang Shichang was simply mad, he had committed at least a thousand lives in his hands, and what he did was really indignant to people and gods, and it was not an exaggeration to thunder and thunder in the sky.
In fact, more than 2,000 civilians died at the hands of Tang Shichang. Two years ago, Tang Shichang slaughtered several villages, refined a "Thousand Corpses Pill", and took it directly.
This "Thousand Corpses Pill" is infinitely useful for evil cultivators, not only can it directly increase a large amount of cultivation, but also nourish the body and restore the vitality of the body. When cultivating evil cultivators, the yin qi has great damage to the body, often causing the body's energy to be exhausted and decay before it grows old. If there is no means to recover, the life span will be very short.
After the evil cultivator takes the Thousand Corpse Pill, he can replenish a lot of energy, so that the seriously ill body can quickly regain its vitality and prolong its longevity. Therefore, the "Thousand Corpse Pill" is regarded as a life-sustaining pill by evil cultivators, and it is particularly sought after.
Although this "Thousand Corpses Pill" refining method is very evil, it is too hurtful and harmful, and it has lost its conscience. But there are still many evil cultivators, who are bent on slaughtering the people cruelly for their own lives, refining this kind of "life-sustaining pill", and Tang Shichang is one of them.
Tang Shichang has been cultivating the Blood Yuan Gong for more than 20 years, and his cultivation has grown rapidly, reaching the cultivation of the ninth layer of Qi training, but his body's qi and blood are extremely exhausted, and he is already terminally ill and will die soon.
At this time, Tang Shichang deliberately looked for some extremely remote villages, and slaughtered the entire village like a demon to refine the "Thousand Corpse Pill". At the same time, use the ghost umbrella to imprison the living soul of the deceased and increase the power of the ghost umbrella.
Tang Shichang was very careful, every time he slaughtered a village, he would stop hiding for a long time, and he was traveling between countries to commit crimes, never attacking in two close places. In this way, few people found out what he did, and even if they found out afterwards, they couldn't find any trace of Tang Shichang.
In the past few years, it was not only mortals who died at the hands of Tang Shichang, but he also attacked many solitary cultivators. After these loose cultivators were attacked, they all died under the attack of the ghost umbrella. Not only will the essence and blood of the whole body be sucked clean by Tang Shichang, but the Yuan Soul will also be imprisoned by the Ghost Shadow Umbrella.
The essence and blood of a righteous monk is a great tonic for evil cultivators, which can make up for the vitality of the body and delay the aging of the body. Therefore, the evil cultivators regard the body of the righteous path monk as an elixir, and they will kill the killer at the first opportunity. A large number of spirit stones will appear in Tang Shichang's storage bag, which he scavenged after killing many righteous path cultivators.
In the deep forest of Daqi Mountain, Ai Dahu took Yannan City to the chief catcher and a cadre to catch the head and the officials, and more than 100 people were hurrying to Xiaowei Village.
After Ai Dahu said goodbye to Liu Yu, he raced against time to return to Yannan City and inform the prefect Lin who had been waiting for a long time the news as soon as possible. Lin Zifeng immediately called Xiang Renhai, the chief catcher of Yannan City, and asked him to gather people in the shortest possible time, and hurried to Xiaowei Village, and listened to the dispatch of the Heavenly Master after going there.
Xiang Renhai didn't dare to delay at all, and quickly gathered more than half of the catchers and some officials in Yannan City, and immediately set off with Ai Dahu. It's just that Daqi Mountain is steep, with lush trees and overgrown weeds, but it is hard for this group of people who are good at leisure and hard work on weekdays, and they only know how to catch fast and serve in the sky. All of them were sweaty and panting against their faces, like frosted eggplants.
Everyone wanted to rest for a while, but they could see that Xiang Zong, who was walking in the front, had a blue face and a tense face, and they didn't dare to open their mouths and touch this moldy head. I could only grit my teeth and hurry forward with my sore legs.
"Big Tiger, how far is it?" asked Xiang Renhai as he took a breath and asked Ai Dahu on the side.
"Lord Xiang, it's not far away, and after crossing that mountain, there is still a quarter of an hour to go. Ai Dahu wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed to the mountain in front of him. The constant running back and forth made him, an old hunter who had been begging for a living in the mountains for many years, a little unbearable.
Xiang Renhai looked back and found that the team was staggering, all like dead mothers. I couldn't help but scold in my heart: These idiots are becoming more and more unenterprising, they don't know how to practice martial arts diligently on weekdays, they only know how to eat and be lazy, and now they are just rushing to a mountain road, and they are all panting like cows.
"Stop, rest for a while. Xiang Renhai shouted loudly, this is not to be considerate of his subordinates, and only rest when he sees them tired and alive.
Xiang Renhai didn't want to rush to Xiaowei Village like this, so that the heavenly masters could see the ugliness of these fools, so as not to lose their face and affect their careers. By the way, everyone recovered some strength, and when they arrived in the village, they could do their work, so as not to make jokes in front of the Heavenly Master.
Xiang Renhai and his party came to the entrance of Xiaowei Village, and looked at the mess, the small square at the entrance of the village was full of potholes, and half of an earthen house collapsed.
The hour had come, and the sun had risen to half a height. But for some reason, the village from the inside to the outside, sending out gusts of yin wind, the yin wind swept through the body, because of the continuous rush, the hot and unbearable body, a moment felt a trace of chill, some people couldn't help but shiver.
With a "squeak", the door of an earthen house opened, and a young man dressed in a light blue Heavenly Master's robe walked out.
"Contemptible Xiang Renhai, the head of Yannan City, was ordered by the prefect of Lin to come to listen to the dispatch of the Heavenly Master. Xiang Renhai immediately stepped forward and said.
"Xiang Tou, hard work, do you need to rest? Liu Yu saw that this man with a strong body and dark skin had beads of sweat on his forehead and replied.
"Lord Xie is concerned, the situation is urgent, and the adult just orders. Xiang Renhai immediately replied. The catchers around also spoke out one after another saying that business comes first and there is no need to rest.
"Well, tell the head hunter to carry the corpses of the villagers together, and then send someone to find some dry firewood. Liu Yu had already thought about how to deal with it, so he ordered.
"Yes, sir. Xiang Renhai commanded.
"Fat man, you lead people in the village to carry the corpses of the villagers to the open space at the entrance of the village. Look carefully, don't miss anything, and pay attention to safety. Xiang Renhai turned around and walked to a slightly chubby catcher and said.
"Third son, you take some people to look for firewood, try to find as much as possible, and also pick up the open space at the entrance of the village. He instructed a skinny catcher next to him.
Then, after a short discussion, the crowd dispersed and began to work.
The group of people who received the order to collect firewood secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The death of the villagers was so miserable that they were shriveled all over their bodies, and they were left with bones covered in skin, and their hair was like hay, and they were sparsely glued to the skulls, which made people panic at a glance.
The two hunters slowly walked to a corner, where a corpse was lying on its stomach. The two glanced at each other, slowly squatted down, swallowed saliva, and trembled and stretched out their hands.
The two of them slowly lifted the corpse, and the first feeling was that it was too light, not effortless at all, and not as heavy as a child. The corpse's skin was as rough as tree bark, and the cold air seeped into the body through the touch of both hands, making the body tremble.
"Oh!" a young catcher threw down the dried corpse he was carrying, and lay on the ground vomiting. Several people who were enduring the disgusting catch, they couldn't help it, and they also vomited, and the vomiting sound continued.
At this time, Xiang Renhai followed Liu Yu into the earthen house and saw the bodies of Li Songlin's four people side by side. Xiang Renhai was stunned, a little unconvinced.
"My lord, Li Tianshi, they ......" Xiang Renhai was so shocked that he didn't know how to speak.
"Senior brothers, they unfortunately died in the battle with the evil way, and they went to the head catcher to find the four sets of brackets, and the corpses of the senior brothers were to be carried back to Yannan City. Liu Yu said bitterly.
"Li Tianshi, were they really killed?" asked Xiang Renhai again with a shocked expression.
"Go get ready!"
"Let's go!" Xiang Renhai bowed and exited the earthen house.
Li Songlin actually died, and Xiang Renhai still couldn't believe it. Li Songlin has served in Yannan City for decades, is omnipotent, has rescued countless villagers, and killed many extremely vicious people. Such an almost invincible existence in Xiang Renhai's heart was unexpectedly killed now.
"Boss, is this true?"
When Xiang Renhai told his subordinates the news of the death of the four Heavenly Masters, everyone was shocked and couldn't believe that it was true. For a while, everyone was talking and dumbfounded.
Just as everyone was gossiping, and you were guessing a word, Liu Yu pushed the door and walked out of the house. Suddenly, the noise disappeared, and everyone bowed their heads to work.
Under Liu Yu's supervision, a fire was soon lit at the entrance of the village, and the flames burned very strongly. The bodies of the entire village were quickly found, and more than 100 corpses were placed on the ground in rows from all corners to the entrance of the village, making people's scalps tingle when they looked at them.
A dried corpse was thrown into the fire, Liu Yu took out a copper bell, and shook the copper bell lightly with his left hand, making a series of crisp bells. His right hand made a seal of rebirth, and he recited the mantra of reincarnation in his mouth, and began the ritual of transcendence.
The dried corpse burned quickly, much faster than the normal corpse, and watched the dried corpse disappear into the flames little by little. Corpses were thrown into the fire one after another, and some caught fast to add material to the fire from time to time, making the fire burn more vigorously.
The entire ritual proceeded in an orderly manner, and after about two hours, the corpses of the villagers were reduced to smoke and dust in the flames.
These villagers are too kind, simple, and don't cause trouble. But disaster fell from the sky, and it was impossible to prevent it. The way of heaven is unpredictable, and the blessings and misfortunes are coming, this is the reason. Only by practicing hard and strengthening oneself can we survive all kinds of calamities.
