Youbao Chapter 12: Earth-nourishing Corpse Pill (1)
What are you doing! The old man Gamu shouted and raised the flute in his hand to hit him.
Suddenly, I felt something was wrong with me, and I rushed out involuntarily, blocking Zhou Xuehai. Seeing me blocking the way, old man Gamu had no choice but to stop.
I don't know how to use the Demon-Subduing Sword, but it has my own secret medicine. Without my antidote, you will be poisoned and become a dead person in no time. Zhou Xuehai looked at the old Taoist priest who pulled out the Demon-Subduing Sword from his arm with a calm face, and his words made the old Taoist priest frown.
And this Eight-thread descendant, after eating my corpse-embalming insect pill, his body will obey me. If you move, he will be the first to die. Zhou Xuehai's words made me feel cold. Corpse-embalming insect pill? When did I eat that thing?
"You are not from the Zhou family?" the old Taoist asked with a frown.
Of course not. Isn't it strange that I have the Zhou family's sword for conquering demons? Zhou Xuehai laughed: Why do you think the Zhou family has been so determined to cause trouble for us corpse-embalming lineage for so many years? Not only because their current head of the family died in our hands seventy years ago, but also because their sword for conquering demons was taken away by us.
This is your grudge, I don't want to know. Do you want to take the corpse pills to cultivate the corpse king? The old Taoist asked.
As expected of a Five Elements lineage, his mind works very quickly. Zhou Xuehai nodded, and then his tone became fierce: You'd better get out of the way now, and when I get the Earth Nourishing Corpse Pill, I will give you the antidote.
I don't care about my life, you miscalculated this step. The old Taoist said calmly. I could tell that he was speaking from the heart. This old man is really not afraid of death.
At first, he didn't come to look for the corpse alone, probably because he couldn't control it alone and didn't want to die in vain. But now, in half an incense stick of time, the corpse will be destroyed by the water of the underworld, so he doesn't care.
You are not afraid of death, but what about the heir of the Eight Ropes? With your current bodies, how long can you stop me? It doesn't matter if you die, but what about the heir of the Eight Ropes and this senior corpse refiner? Zhou Xuehai said.
I couldn't speak at that time, otherwise I would have really wanted to cooperate with Zhou Xuehai and say that I didn't want to die either.
Perhaps because his weakness was hit, the old Taoist frowned even more tightly.
Old Gamu was also a little nervous. He looked at the old Taoist priest and then at Zhou Xuehai. At this time, both the old Taoist priest and he were injured, and the bronze armor corpse could not be driven. Zhou Xuehai's injuries were minimal, and even the so-called broken bones were probably fake. If a fight really broke out, maybe all three of us would die.
The reason why he didn't want to fight was simply because Zhou Xuehai felt that there was not enough time. Otherwise, this kind of person would definitely not mind killing us all.
How can we believe that you won’t do anything after taking the elixir? asked the old man Gamu.
The Earth Corpse Pill needs to be warmed by the earth. I am not sure I can kill you in a short time. You can choose not to believe it, but I will not give you too much time to think about it. Now I will only count to three. Zhou Xuehai said.
I was horrified listening to what he said, and felt that my life might be destroyed on this land at any time.
Three... Zhou Xuehai began to count down.
I saw that the old Taoist frowned even more tightly, and old man Gamu also had a sullen face, and I didn't know what he was thinking.
two……
One... When this last number was called out, my heart seemed to stop.
At this moment, the old Taoist priest suddenly moved aside.
You can take the elixir, but you must first get rid of his corpse worms, said the old Taoist priest.
Yes. Zhou Xuehai decisively reached out from behind and threw a pill into my mouth. I immediately felt something rolling in my stomach, but it calmed down in a few seconds. Then, I felt that my whole body had regained consciousness and I could lift my hands normally.
You guys leave here, I will release the corpse worms within a hundred meters. If I find you still staying... Zhou Xuehai didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant.
Give me the antidote, said the old Taoist priest.
Zhou Xuehai took out a bottle and threw it over. The old Taoist took it, opened it and smelled it, then turned and left without any hesitation. Old man Gamu looked at the bronze-armored corpse on the ground hesitantly.
Don't worry, the corpse burial lineage is different from you corpse refiners, and the bronze-armored corpse is of no use to me. Zhou Xuehai said: You can come back after two incense sticks.
After hearing what he said, old man Gamu didn't hesitate and took me away.
The three of us walked back and forth for about a few dozen meters, and I felt very unwilling. I was fooled by this kid for no reason, and he even fed me some kind of corpse pill, treating me like a puppet.
We just left like that? I asked.
Otherwise, the corpse-embalming sect is the most vicious and has many insidious tricks. With the current physical state of me and the old Taoist, we are really no match for him. What's more, you are involved. Old man Gamu said.
I also understand this logic, so I could only curse a few words in hatred and let it go.
By the way, what kind of corpse king is he going to refine? What is that? I remembered what the old Taoist priest said before.
It's very difficult to explain. In short, it's similar to the bronze corpse, but much more vicious. If he really made it, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble. But I didn't expect the Zhou family, who was famous for conquering demons, even lost the sword for seventy years. No wonder they are now deeply involved in the investigation and almost don't care about worldly affairs. Old man Gamu sighed.
Find a place to recuperate first, and I will go get your bronze-armored corpse later. The old Taoist said, his tone was very bad, and it was estimated that the old man was very depressed now.
After spending so much effort to clean up the corpse, I ended up making things difficult for others. Anyone who had this experience would be so depressed that they would want to vomit blood.
But from my current understanding of the old Taoist priest, if he is willing to give in, then this matter will never be completely over. The old Taoist priest is not afraid of death, and he is willing to let Zhou Xuehai take the corpse pill, so he must not want to die in vain.
Therefore, after his injuries heal, he will probably have to chase Zhou Xuehai to get back the Earth-Nourishing Corpse Pill.
After walking for a few minutes, the old Taoist stopped, sat casually on the ground, and opened the bottle given by Zhou Xuehai.
It was a bottle of antidote, but I strongly suspected that it was actually poison. For a sinister villain like Zhou Xuehai, it was not uncommon to give others poison as an antidote.
Aren't you afraid that he might poison you? I asked worriedly.
The old Taoist shook his head, turned the bottle upside down, and a purple-red pill fell out of it. Under the moonlight, the pill reflected a purple-red glow, which looked very magical.
If this is poison, I can tell it, the old Taoist said confidently, and then swallowed the pill in one gulp.
Old man Gamu stood aside, looking back into the mountains and forests from time to time, probably worried about his bronze-armored corpse.
Will he take the bronze-armored corpse away as well? I asked.
Probably not. Old man Gamu said: The bronze-armored corpse is connected to my life. Although I cannot drive it for the time being, I can know its every move. If that bastard dares to steal my bronze-armored corpse... Humph!
Old man Gamu raised the flute in his hand angrily, but unexpectedly his injury was aggravated and he couldn't help coughing again.
By the way, thank you for driving the bronze-armored corpse to help me. Otherwise, I would have been beaten to death by the earth-raising corpse. I looked at old man Gamu and thanked him sincerely.
The Bronze Armored Corpse helped you? Old man Gamu was a little puzzled, and then he said in a surprised tone: The hole in the chest of the Bronze Armored Corpse was because it helped you hold back the Ground Corpse?
Yes. What's wrong? I am even more puzzled. The bronze-armored corpses are all driven by corpse refiners. Why are you surprised?
This copper-armored corpse was refined too quickly, and our minds were not yet in harmony. I was seriously injured by the earth-raising corpse's earth-qi stick, and my mind became disordered. It was beaten by the earth-raising corpse and became ferocious, and it was out of my control for a while. At first, I was worried that it would become ferocious and cause trouble, but I didn't expect it to take the initiative to save your life.
It turned out that it wasn't you who drove it to save me. I was extremely surprised.
No. Gamu shook his head: This is really strange, the bronze-armored corpse is always very fierce and only knows how to kill people, how could it take the initiative to save people?
I wondered if it actually wanted to kill and raise the corpse, and just happened to run in front of me at that time.
It should be. Old man Gamu hummed, but there was still a trace of doubt on his face.
Zhou Xuehai’s insidiousness made us feel extremely bad and we didn’t have much to say.
The old Taoist priest was quietly removing the poison, and there was no black air coming out as rumored. He was as quiet as a dead person. I was very worried and wanted to put my finger under his nose to see if he was still breathing, but I was worried about old man Gamu, so I could only watch him sit in silence.
When the hands of my watch pointed to 2:20 in the morning, the old Taoist priest let out a long sigh, and a fishy and unpleasant smell came out of his mouth.
Five Elements Fire Spirit, ignite! The old Taoist priest pinched the magic formula with his hands and shouted softly. A cluster of flames emerged, and there was a sizzling sound in the air. The unpleasant smell disappeared.
Is everything alright? asked old man Gamu.
The old Taoist priest nodded, then stood up and walked into the forest: The time has come, let's go and retrieve your bronze armored corpse.
The three of us walked back and forth, and soon we returned to where we left.
The bronze-armored corpse was still lying there quietly, but dark blue light was flowing through its seven orifices, which looked very scary.
The corpse had long since dissipated, leaving nothing behind. The demon-slaying sword was also taken away. The old Taoist priest walked straight to the bronze-armored corpse, pinched his fingers and chanted: Five elements of heaven, open the six paths, water of the underworld, disperse!
The faint light in the bronze-armored corpse flickered and soon dissipated. The old man Gamu standing next to me breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to check.
What now? I asked him.
Go back first, heal your wounds, then go find him and get the corpse-nourishing pill back, the old Taoist said indifferently.
