Chapter 35: The Hundred Corpses Night Talisman
The fat monk saw that he couldn't prevaricate anymore, so he had to tell the truth of the matter while thinking about how to get out.
It turned out that the monk's name was Liu Dahu, and he was also a child of a poor family. But later his hometown suffered a drought, and Liu Dahu, who was only seven or eight years old that year, left home with his parents to escape the famine, but he was separated from his family on the way, and had no choice but to live alone by wandering and begging for food.
Later, when Liu Dahu was begging for food, he met an old monk from Youfang. The old monk saw that Liu Dahu was alone and a little clever, so he gave him some food and took the opportunity to test his spiritual root qualifications.
Unexpectedly, this Liu Dahu was really an immortal cultivation material with three spirit roots, and the old monk took him with him.
In fact, this monk of the wandering party is a loose cultivator who cultivates evil skills! Cultivation and magic are not very skillful, but they can use the evil art of deception and deception, which is called the "Hundred Corpses Night Walking Technique"!
Specifically, this technique is the use of a low-level talisman called the "Child-Mother Corpse Talisman". First, bury the child charm in the grave to infuse the dead corpse with spiritual power, and then use the mother charm to activate the child charm to awaken the dead corpse, and control the bones of the dead corpse in the tomb that have not completely decayed, so that it can temporarily move. It allows the dead to dig out of the grave and walk freely, and it allows the dead to speak what the caster wants to say.
Although these dead corpses crawling out of the grave resemble the legendary zombies, they are not actually aggressive towards people, and can only do some simple actions and say simple words!
And after a certain period of time, after the spiritual power in the corpse is exhausted, the "living corpse" will fall to the ground again and become a real dead corpse.
Whenever he walked to a place where people gathered, he would first let out his mouth and say that this place was full of evil spirits, and that something unclean would soon be going to happen!
When it's almost done, wait until after dark, and use the Hundred Corpses Nocturnal Technique to stage a Hundred Corpses Nocturnal Walk to scare the worldly mortals. In the end, he appeared at the right time, pretended to "cast spells" to eliminate harm, and defrauded mortals of a large amount of money.
How can ordinary mortals distinguish between the real and the fake, and in order to avoid disasters, they have to obediently send gold and silver treasures! Therefore, this method of defrauding money is naturally tried and tested.
After that, the old monk used the money he had swindled to buy a large number of strange herbs and elixirs from the worldly pharmacies.
These spirit grasses naturally have a great effect on mortals, but they are also refined, and they are suitable for auxiliary materials for low-level immortal cultivators' pills.
In the end, the old monk took the purchased spiritual grass, picked those that had just been picked and was of fresh quality, and sold all of them to the immortal cultivator's market in exchange for some spiritual stones and rune paper and other necessary things. It's really not to mention the toss of five horses and six sheep, and the spirit stones exchanged are barely enough for the cultivation of the master and apprentice!
But after all, the cultivation resources that can be exchanged are very limited, so it took Liu Dahu nearly ten years to break through to the third layer of the Qi Melting Period, and he never made an inch of progress!
Just five years ago, the old monk ran out of Shouyuan and sat down, leaving only a talisman book for Liu Dahu, as well as a few items that were not worth spirit stones!
Fortunately, Liu Dahu has already learned the old monk's 100 corpses night walking technique. Although it is still ineffective to use, and the mana of the third layer of the melting period is also slightly lacking, it can barely be used according to the cat and the tiger, and continue to live in the world, relying on this technique!
But after a long time, Liu Dahu became greedy for the worldly food and beauty, wealth and glory, and he had no intention of exchanging the deceived gold and silver treasures for the materials needed for cultivation. At most, it is to pour some talisman paper and cinnabar, etc., and the talisman making utensils needed for fraud! In addition to the capital required to collect spiritual grass, the money obtained by fraud is used for eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling. After deceiving one place, he continued to deceive in another place, and he defrauded a lot of money.
In this way, Liu Dahu relied on this technique and deceived all the way to Nanhe Town in Cangqi Country, who would have thought that before he could perform this Hundred Corpses Night Walking Technique, he was bumped into by Shen Cheng and exposed his feet!
After listening to the fat monk's story, Shen Cheng couldn't help but sigh greatly about the situation of loose cultivators in the immortal cultivation world! I don't know whether he should be glad that he has found a good master, or should he feel sad about the vast majority of those casual cultivators.
Although Liu Dahu's words must be mixed with some untrue water, from this person's demeanor and words, Shen Cheng can hear that most of what the other party says is the truth!
"You're not making up a story, coaxing and deceiving, are you?" Shen Cheng still had a suspicious expression on his face.
"Amitabha, monks don't talk nonsense! The poor monk doesn't have half a word to deceive the Taoist, and if the Taoist friend really doesn't believe it, then there is no way!" As he spoke, the monk put on a rogue look like you love to believe it or not, as if he was so reasonable.
"There is still a question below, how can a dead person become a zombie when he is buried in the dirt and will soon rot and only bones remain?" asked Shen Cheng puzzled.
Hearing Shen Cheng ask about his proficient strengths, the fat monk looked like where did you know, and hurriedly replied: "Daoist friends don't know, ordinary poor people die in their families, how can they have the money to do a lot of business, they all buy a cheap coffin and bury it hastily! If you are buried in the rainy season, rainwater will definitely accumulate in the grave." Not only does the corpse not decay when it is soaked in water for a long time, but it also softens the corpse and produces corpse wax on its surface, so that it does not turn into a skeleton!"
Shen Cheng touched his forehead, feeling that what the fat monk said seemed to have some truth, so he asked again: "Then why do you have to do this kind of deed that hurts heaven and reason, instead of finding an immortal cultivation sect or family, and worship in it to continue cultivating?"
"Fellow Daoists, don't be joking, with the poor monk's inferior spiritual root qualifications, and there is no person to rely on to refer, which sect will accept it?" The fat monk first blinked his eyes, and then looked at Shen Cheng with strange eyes, and when he saw that the other party had no intention of teasing, he said with a gloomy expression.
This immortal cultivation realm is really like what the master said, it is no different from the secular world, the survival of the fittest, and the survival of the fittest are not accommodating at all!
Shen Cheng stared at Liu Dahu for a long time, and said without any room for negotiation: "Okay, believe you for the time being! Show me the talisman book that Monk You Fang left for you, and hand over the mother talisman of the corpse talisman as well!"
"This ......!" The fat monk was stared at by Shen Cheng for a long time, and sweat was already oozing from his head! The strong man in the immortal cultivation realm was respected, he didn't dare to easily annoy the half-sized man in front of him, the other party's cultivation was much higher than his own.
But I don't know how much the other party can believe in my words, and how to deal with myself at this moment. Hearing that Shen Cheng was going to ask for his talisman book, the monk hesitated a little.
Although this talisman is not a high-level talisman book, after all, it is something that the fat monk relies on to eat, and there are several ways to make life-saving talismans on it! Once it is taken by the other party, it is estimated that it will definitely not be handed back to him, how can it be easily handed over to the other party! But it seems that this kid is unwilling to stop there, and this matter must not be good if he does not take it out! How is this good, the monk is in a dilemma and can't make up his mind.
"What, do you have any other choice?" Shen Cheng asked coldly.
The fat monk knew that his strength was not good, so he rolled his eyes, smiled and pretended to be flattering: "Where is it, since the Taoist friend wants to take a look, the poor monk should offer it, let the Taoist friend see what it is, Taoist friend don't worry!"
As he spoke, the monk seemed to have made a lot of determination, gritted his teeth and put his hand into the sleeve robe of the monk's robe, and groped for a long time before he took out a thread-bound book with a yellow cover and a piece of rune paper, and said in his heart: "Boy, this is what you asked for, don't blame your fat grandfather for being ruthless!"
