I was forced to cultivate immortality when I just wanted to lie down

Chapter 34: Rampant Ghost Soldiers

Two people were traveling together. One of them lost his head and the other had all his bones broken.

Xu Qing was a kind-hearted man who couldn't bear to see someone's body being torn into two pieces, so he put the head back together for the foolish Li Shuangxi, and then roughly sewed it up with a sack pin, and that was the end of the matter.

After all, he is still counting on saving people for the rest of his life. If there is no direction, how can he save them?

After the corpse was disposed of, the familiar scripture sounded again—

“The path of humanity is vague, the path of immortality is vast.

The ghost path is joyful, at the door of human life.

The immortal way values ​​life, the ghost way values ​​death.

The path of immortals is always auspicious, while the path of ghosts is always ominous."

The scripture began to repeat itself after reaching this point. Xu Qing frowned and leaned back as if in response to stress.

He remembered it clearly in his heart. The first time he encountered a zombie, this verse echoed in his mind.

Now that he heard it again, how could he not be on guard?

He put on brass knuckles and fixed his eyes on Li Shuangxi.

Sure enough, when the scripture for saving people kept getting stuck and repeating on the sentence "Ghosts are always vicious to themselves", the corpse whose head had just been sewn up in the yard suddenly took a long breath, sat up straight, and even his chest bulged like a fish bubble.

Fortunately, Xu Qing is a zombie. If it were a living person breathing, he would have been sucked dry of his energy by the zombie and turned into a shriveled and cold corpse!
Looking at the resentful corpse that turned its head and inhaled sharply towards him, Xu Qing's face was full of disdain, and he wasn't afraid at all!

You didn't live up to your reputation when you were alive, and died at the hands of a man. Now that you are dead, you still want to get back your reputation?
Where does its confidence come from?

The night fog was thick, Xu Qing waved the Vajra Knuckle with a cold glow, and once again taught the ghost to be dead.

"The immortal path is always auspicious, the ghost path is always dangerous. High up in the sky, the spirit is clear and refreshing, and the sad song resounds through the universe."

He put away his iron fist, and the jammed chanting sound returned to normal, and the pages of the Sutra of Salvation began to turn.

There was nothing commendable about Li Shuangxi's life. His greatest shining point was probably the moment he pretended to be dead just now. Unfortunately, before it could fully shine, it was snuffed out by Xu Qing.

The Sutra of Deliverance also felt it was shabby, and gave it a mid-level rating of "Ren", and rewarded it with a packet of odor-removing powder commonly used by corpse drivers, and two pills of Forget-Me-Not.

External application of odor-removing powder can remove any odor, including the odor of corpses that corpse drivers carry from long-term contact with the dead.

When taken internally, depending on the dosage, it can temporarily block the sense of taste, making people unaware of sour, sweet, bitter and salty flavors.

After Xu Qing learned about its use, he felt it was useless. Who would have the time to block their sense of taste? It might only be useful for removing odors.

But he didn't expect that there would be something even more useless later.

Forgetfulness Pill - a pill that can make you forget your past and present lives and start a new life after taking it, and the effect lasts for three days.

Three-day Dashachun experience card?

Xu Qing felt that these two things could be stored together with the wine worms and cooling powder obtained previously.

After helping Li Shuangxi to pass away, he searched his body.

He obtained several silver bills, a Taoist corpse talisman, and a wanted warrant from Shu.

Xu Qing took a quick look and saw two people painted on it, Shi Jiulu and Qiu Ping were there, but there was no large portrait of Li Shuangxi.

Your presence is so low that even the wanted poster thinks you are shabby! After a little thought, Xu Qing roughly guessed why Li Shuangxi kept this wanted poster.

Most likely, he planned to use this wanted warrant to clear himself of suspicion if his whereabouts were exposed and he was captured by soldiers.

After all, there are only the portraits and names of Shi Jiulu and Qiu Ping on it, but not Li Shuangxi's!

After helping Li Shuangxi, whose presence was extremely low, to be reincarnated, Xu Qing came to Qiu Ping, whose bones were falling apart.

The pages of the Sutra of Saving People were turned slowly. Fortunately, the background sound was not stuck this time. After the salvation was successfully completed, the Sutra of Saving People rewarded a lantern to guide the corpses and light the way, a small and exquisite snuff bottle, and a corpse training sutra for training dog-headed corpses and cat-faced corpses.

The snuff bottle and the Corpse Training Sutra are used as a set.

The function of the snuff bottle is very simple. As long as you open the small lid and get close to the corpse, the corpse will be like a puppy that smells the scent of steamed buns. It will follow you wherever you go and be as obedient as you can be.

"Training dead people to be like cats and dogs to guard the house?" Xu Qing's mind inexplicably emerged the image of the captain Zhao Zhonghe snorting and wagging his tail at him.

This stuff is good!

It just so happened that he had a dog-beating stick in his hand, which came in handy!
After the two corpses were liberated, the matter was not over yet. After all, the corpse soldiers refined by these two people were still hidden in the house!

In the dim candlelit house, a pot of wine was warming on the stove. Xu Qing came to the inner room and lifted the white cloth covering the corner of the wall. The true appearance of two corpses lying straight with their eyes closed and not breathing was revealed.

It must be said that the two corpses in front of him were not ordinary people when they were alive, but special soldiers trained by the Nantang Yin family.

It was only because he died on the battlefield and his body was exposed in the wilderness that Li Shuangxi and others picked up his body and refined it into a corpse soldier.

Xu Qing knew very little about Taoist soldiers before. If he had not saved the souls of these soldiers who returned from the frontier battlefield tonight, he probably wouldn't even know what Taoist soldiers were.

He raised his hand to liberate the two corpses, and all kinds of things that happened on the southern border appeared in the eyes of Xu Qing who was far away in Linhe.

The Great Yong Dynasty seemed to be a "peaceful" scene, but in fact it had already collapsed and was only one step away from being destroyed.

Among them, the threat from southern Xinjiang was particularly serious. Ever since the invasion of Nancuo's army, the area south of Hejing had long been a place where imperial authority was not respected and aristocratic families abused their power.

At this time, only the military power can control the internal and external forces, but it is unknown how much of the military power is still in the hands of Emperor Longping.

After all, it is even questionable whether the old emperor, who is already over eighty years old, can lift the emperor's sword. How can you expect him to reorganize the military power and pacify the country internally and externally?

After seeing the chaos in the southern states, Xu Qing knew that the Great Yong Dynasty was already terminally ill and could not be cured without someone who could turn the tide.

After reading the biography, look at the rewards.

The two well-informed corpse soldiers are both veterans of hundreds of battles, and both are rated as top-grade in the human category.

The Sutra of Salvation rewards one with the method of raising evil spirit soldiers, a flag to command evil spirit generals, a talisman to avoid swords, a talisman to cure diseases and epidemics, and a skill of archery that can shoot through the target from a hundred paces away.

The method of raising ghost soldiers is similar to that of raising corpse soldiers, but it does not use corpses to refine them. Instead, it collects evil spirits to refine ghosts, borrowing the evil spirits of dead soldiers on the battlefield. For every hundred corpses refined, one ghost soldier can be obtained, and for every thousand corpses refined, one ghost general can be obtained.

Xu Qing took out the blood-red flag and felt something in his heart.

The haunted house he had just bought happened to be a perfect place for evil to gather.

According to the method of raising a ghost soldier, if he buried a hundred ordinary corpses in the house, and then took advantage of the characteristics of the haunted house that generates and gathers evil, wouldn't he be able to refine a ghost soldier?

If the evil spirit is strong enough, it is not impossible for one hundred corpses to condense into a rampant general!
Hiss, thinking of this, Xu Qing suddenly had a bold idea.

Zombies have an infinite lifespan. If he buried the corpses for ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years, wouldn't he be able to refine and amass an army of a thousand or even ten thousand ghost soldiers?
