Netherworld Chapter 72: Saving People (3)
Corpse-keeping ground? Is it a place to store corpses?
The old Taoist priest hummed and returned to his previous cold look.
I looked around curiously, but didn't see the forest of corpses that I had imagined.
The bronze-armored corpse needs to be refined with the body of a strong warrior, and it is not as easy to find as the walking corpse. The old Taoist priest suddenly said: Since you are raising a corpse, you will naturally not put it on the ground.
Oh? I became curious: where is it?
You want to see it? I'll take you there, said the old Taoist priest.
I chuckled and said: No, if I follow you I will have meat to eat, but if I follow them I will be eaten like meat.
The old Taoist priest ignored me. At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared from behind the big pillar in front of me: Who are you and why are you breaking into my Wei family’s forbidden area!
The old Taoist priest did not answer, but walked forward silently. With him blocking the way in front of me, I was naturally not afraid.
Seeing that the two of us didn't say anything and just walked away, the two Wei family disciples shouted: Someone has trespassed into the restricted area!
As they walked out from behind the stone pillars, they each took out a flute and put it to their lips and blew it.
With a "bang", two figures broke out from the ground and rushed towards this side immediately after landing.
The old Taoist priest drew empty talismans as he walked.
The five elements of the earth, the spirit calms the soul, and seals ! He tapped the air talisman repeatedly, and two green lights shot directly at the figures that were rushing over. The green light was so fast that people had no time to react, and it directly sank into the bodies of the two figures.
With a "click", the two men immediately fell to the ground and walked on the ground for several meters before stopping.
The old Taoist priest strolled leisurely, as if he was walking in his own back garden. This spirit and means are admirable.
After passing the two figures lying motionless on the ground, I realized that they were two bronze-armored corpses that had not yet fully formed. They were not much different from ordinary zombies, except that their bodies were more majestic.
The two bronze-armored corpses failed to accomplish anything and were knocked down as soon as they appeared on the stage. They died so miserably. Such supporting roles made the Wei family's children feel disheartened.
This is my Wei family's forbidden area. If you dare to mess around, you will be killed by my top bronze-armored corpse...
Wei family... the old Taoist priest muttered to himself, and then hummed: You have no grudges against me, just make way and I won't hurt you.
This is my Wei family's forbidden area...
"Snap" "Snap"
There were two crisp sounds, and the old Taoist priest came over like a ghost, slapped each of them to the ground, and then looked at me who was standing there in a daze: What are you still doing there?
I screamed twice, then came to my senses and ran over. When I got there, I saw that the two brothers' faces were swollen. The old Taoist slapped them with a five-finger mountain, almost hitting the roots of their teeth.
When we got to this location, we found that there was something else behind the pillars. From the direction we came from, there were only two pillars, but from the back, it was a door.
It was just a simple magic trick. The old Taoist priest seemed a little disdainful, knocked down the door with his palm and walked in.
The Wei family did not send too many people to guard here, or it might be because too many of their people died in Jiuyin Mountain. In short, after we entered that door, we did not encounter any obstructions.
This is a secret room on the lower level. The old Taoist priest paused after taking a few steps in, and then told me: There is something strange here, you should be careful.
I hummed and looked around nervously, ready to recite the Eight Ropeway Mantra at any time.
After walking a few meters, I suddenly felt a gust of fishy wind coming from the right. Then, someone grabbed my arm and swung it hard. I was thrown to the side in a daze. When I turned my head, I heard a loud bang. The old Taoist priest was hit by someone's palm and was forced to retreat.
With his experienced methods, it is definitely not an ordinary person who can repel him with just one palm.
Strictly speaking, it was not a human being. I could see clearly that the one who frightened the old Taoist priest away was a Qing corpse wearing old clothes and combing a long whip. There were words carved on his smooth forehead, and the font was a bit strange, and I couldn't understand it.
After the old Taoist priest returned to his original position, he immediately said to me: This is the Wei family's great general who protects the house. Please stay away from it, as its corpse aura is very strong!
I could already smell the stench without the old Taoist reminding me. The corpse smell was even stronger than the bronze-armored corpse. I felt dizzy even though I was so far away. The jade pendant seemed to have a detoxifying effect. When I was dozens of meters away from there, the dizziness and nausea gradually disappeared.
The general who guards the house, sounds a bit like the name of a cricket...
I stood far away and saw the Qing corpse, who looked no different from an ordinary human, leap high into the air, raised five blade-like claws, and stabbed straight into the old Taoist's skull.
Its strength was surprisingly great, not much weaker than the bronze-armored corpse, but more than twice as agile as the bronze-armored corpse. Even with the old Taoist's skills, he was unable to subdue it in a short period of time.
It dodged several talismans that transformed into fire dragons at an extremely fast speed. If it weren't for the Taoist's quick reaction, it would have been covered in wounds.
I was anxious watching from the side, but I only learned two of the Eight Ropes Daoist techniques, and neither of them had anything to do with attacking. So no matter how much I wanted to help, in the end all I could do was say: Come on!
The corpse breeding ground is vast, without too many obstacles. The opponent's corpse gas spread like fog, covering an area of several meters. If you want to defeat the opponent, you must go deep into the corpse gas. Seeing the figure of the old Taoist disappear in the corpse fog, my heart immediately tightened, and I quickly recited the Eight Ropeway Mantra to protect myself, and then ran over there to take a closer look.
In the corpse fog, the old Taoist priest seemed unaffected, jumping and fighting with the other party. This corpse of the general who guarded the house had a strong physique, and its nails were nearly ten centimeters long, as black as ink, and it was obvious that they were poisonous. Moreover, these nails were extremely sharp, and even the ground was scratched by them, leaving several grooves.
The old Taoist priest relied on his more flexible body to punch continuously, but each strike only made a loud bang and made the opponent's body shake.
This style of play is too conservative. If it lasts longer, I'm afraid the old Taoist will be the first to give up. After all, he didn't rest much after returning from Mingzhu Peak. His Taoist power and physical strength are not at their peak now.
At this moment, the old Taoist kicked the corpse with his foot, almost deforming its head, and then he bent and stretched his legs, using the force to fly out. While in mid-air, he began to draw empty talismans.
A talisman was drawn in the blink of an eye. After the old Taoist priest landed, he tapped the ground with his toes and pounced towards the corpse like a dragonfly skimming the water.
The corpse had just recovered and was spewing corpse qi. Its claws were like a tiger out of a cage, and it was heading for the Taoist's chest.
The five elements of the earth, the earth spirit comes out, borrowing the power of the mountain, suppressing! The old Taoist shouted softly, and once again used the powerful Taoist method, drawing circles with his hands to easily push away the opponent's arms, and swept out with one leg. Before Qingshi fell to the ground, the old Taoist's palms came down together and hit the opponent's chest fiercely.
Boom boom... With a loud noise, Qing Shi was knocked into the ground by a palm. The old Taoist priest raised his right leg again, kicked down, and drew a new empty talisman.
The old Taoist priest drew an empty talisman with his hand, then pulled back and threw the talisman into the pit.
The five elements of heaven and earth, the great way has spirits, we ask the Northern Black Tortoise Lord to suppress evil and drive out demons as ordered!
The old Taoist priest chanted a spell, drew a circle around the edge of the pit with one hand, and shouted: Seal!
I was still in the world of nothingness, and I vaguely saw a turtle-snake monster falling from the sky into the pit. A black light flashed, and as soon as the Qing corpse raised its head, it was suppressed, and even the corpse qi disappeared.
The old Taoist took two steps back and stood there with his eyes closed, regulating his breathing. From his appearance, I knew that the danger was over. I withdrew the spell and appeared, walking to his side: "How are you? You were not hurt by the corpse qi, were you?"
The old Taoist shook his head and said: No matter how powerful the corpse qi is, it will have to enter the body to hurt people. I have held my breath, so naturally nothing will happen to me.
I walked over to the silent pit and saw the corpse lying inside with its eyes closed, as if it was asleep.
What is this thing? It feels even more powerful than the bronze-armored corpse. I asked curiously.
This is the corpse that protects the house. The old Taoist said: The Wei family started with the copper-armored corpse, which is strong by nature, so it has strong energy. The corpse is yin, so it restrains each other. This is what is called the hardest to break, and it must be assisted by the yin corpse to achieve both hardness and softness. Wu Anguo, a family of civil officials, this corpse that protects the house must be the corpse of a Qing Dynasty civil official that they asked for from the walking corpse vein.
I didn't expect that the Yin Corpses, which were used to protect the house, would have such abilities after being refined by them using the method of the Bronze Armor Corpses. Humph, I don't know who came up with this idea. With too many Yin Corpses, their merits are so great that they threaten the master. How can the Wei family not be lonely? It seems that even if Gamu hadn't designed them to lose money in Jiuyin Mountain, they would . The old Taoist priest said with disdain.
So amazing... I sighed.
If you learn the Qiankun divination method of the Eight Ropes, it will be more accurate than mine. The old Taoist sighed with regret, and then said: But now that you have been gifted by God, you should study hard and practice hard, and achieve success as soon as possible, so as to avoid the Eight Ropes being lost.
I have always been lazy, and I never recited the Kongming Mantra I got last time. Hearing the old Taoist say this, I couldn't help but feel a little scared, and quickly changed the subject: Let's go find them quickly, so as not to have more trouble.
The old Taoist nodded and said: I didn’t expect that you are so concerned about them.
I smiled awkwardly and followed the old Taoist priest.
After we dealt with the corpse of the general who guarded the house, there were no more obstacles along the way. We had no obstacles and soon found the place where the two were imprisoned.
It was a very ordinary room with a talisman hanging on the door. The old Taoist priest didn't even look at it, but tore it off and threw it on the ground, then pushed the door open and went in.
In the room, the old lady and the beautiful girl were sitting together and talking. The sound of the door being pushed open startled the beautiful girl, who immediately stood up and prepared to beat someone up. The old lady was as steady as a rock, and when she saw the Taoist priest coming, she couldn't help but laugh: "As expected, you are here again. I'm afraid my brothers are still investigating who kidnapped me."
A group of... The old Taoist stopped talking halfway and said: There is nothing to do now, let's go.
