Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 196 Arrangement in Advance
Lin Jiang slowly opened his eyes, his body already back at the coffin in Qingniwa.

He first regulated his breathing, and then ate the small flower that served as the key in one bite.

In this way, the other party will not be able to trace them back to them using this key.

But Lin Jiang immediately fell into deep thought.

Although the group of江湖客 (jianghu ke) has been dealt with, the crisis has not truly been eliminated.

Since the General's Mansion has dispatched one force, it must have the capacity to send several more.

Lin Jiang could indeed keep killing and slaughter everyone sent here by the General's Mansion, but he couldn't be in two places at once and couldn't stay here all the time.

While waiting for an enemy to come to you is a method, it's not a good one. What if you're busy with something important elsewhere and an enemy suddenly appears next to the coffin? Should you come over or not?

If you let Qingniwa take up too much of your energy, you'll be putting the cart before the horse.

Unfortunately, he was a warrior and didn't have any good solutions.

After a moment's thought, he called out to Liu Fangyue through the inner palace.

"Dong...Dongjia..."

Why are you speaking in such a halting manner?

"The loneliness I felt in the palace just now was relieved by hanging on the rope..."

Lin Jiang's lips twitched slightly, but he finally sighed and asked Liu Fangyue about the problem he was facing.

Upon hearing this, Liu Fangyue remained silent for a moment:
“The master’s concerns are very valid. There is a temporary solution: I can set up a maze here, which is commonly known as a ghost wall. Ordinary martial arts practitioners would find it difficult to see anything from here.”

"That is indeed a method."

“However…” Liu Fangyue’s tone became slightly somber as she said this: “Although I am a sixth-level cultivator, there are many hidden talents under the general’s command. If he insists on sending an expert to break through this formation, I fear it will be difficult to hold out for long.”

Lin Jiang pondered upon hearing this.

This is indeed a tricky situation.

It was expected that the general would send someone, and it was not surprising that his subordinates, who were all based on the red dots on the map, knew about the coffin.

The only problem now is that Lin Jiang doesn't know how obsessed the general is with this coffin or how many troops he will send here.

and……

Besides the general, Lin Jiang also had to consider another person.

The garden's owner, Miss Jiang.

Having gnawed the garden in such a state, he certainly didn't think the other party would let it go.

That woman, who controls the Hundred Flowers Garden, must possess considerable skill. If she were to come in person, even the array set up by Liu Fangyue might not be able to withstand it.

Sigh, the main problem is that I can't stay here all the time; I'm stretched too thin.

“Or…” Liu Fangyue’s tone suddenly changed: “This humble woman has another method.”

Lin Jiangjing awaits the next installment.

"Does the master still remember the art of driving?"

Lin Jiang thought blankly for a long time, but still couldn't figure out which kind of magic Liu Fangyue was talking about.

"That is the method you used to control your body when your five senses were sealed."

"Oh, oh." Lin Jiang remembered: "What's wrong with this magic technique?"

"Master, you can use the avatar of the ghost to guard this place. I will then use a maze formation to confuse the enemy. When the general's men arrive, you can remotely manipulate the avatar to launch a feigned attack, and use the stone-boiling technique to collapse the entrance. In this way, this place will become an inaccessible dead end. Even if the general wants to come back and find someone to open the mountain, it will take a long time."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang asked in surprise:
“I can certainly try, but I definitely need to leave here. How could my Qi travel that far…”

Lin Jiang paused suddenly at this point.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at the coffin next to him.

It can transmit Qi to the iron-skinned creature through the coffin fragments, and naturally, it can also project its incarnation through this coffin.

Thinking about it this way, this method might actually work.

However, Lin Jiang thought about it again and felt that this method was a bit cumbersome and could easily lead to problems.

For example, what if the cave is too sturdy and doesn't collapse? Or what if a master comes along and the plan can't proceed smoothly?
as well as……

Lin Jiang still remembers that when he used that technique, the body he manipulated was practically crooked in appearance.

Is this thing even capable of guarding this place?

After much deliberation, Lin Jiang still couldn't come up with a better solution, so he simply nodded in agreement.

Instead of thinking "what to do", it's better to make arrangements first, and then add more later if a better method comes up. This is the right way.

"Please find some stones and place them in the directions I indicate."

Following Liu Fangyue's instructions, Lin Jiang quickly piled up layers of stones outside the cave and moved several giant rocks as instructed.

If someone else had done this, it would have taken them a long time, but Lin Jiang was so strong that he finished it in no time.

After repeatedly verifying that everything was correct, Liu Fangyue had Lin Jiang stand at the center of the formation. He first exhaled hot air, symbolizing the fire of Li, and then exhaled cold air, representing the water of Kan. The extreme heat and cold collided, and suddenly a thick fog rose from the center of the formation, pouring down from mid-air and instantly covering the valley.

The moonlight and starlight were completely blocked, leaving only a vast fog that resembled an insurmountable chasm, impenetrable to the naked eye.

At this moment, this place truly resembles a dreamlike realm, and its mysteries are indeed difficult for ordinary people to fathom.

Lin Jiang looked into the distance and could even see some strange flowing light at the edge of the thick fog. Upon closer inspection, he could even see some human figures within it.

Those outlines were blurry and indistinct, seemingly not human.

"Liu Fangyue, what's going on?"

Liu Fangyue looked through Lin Jiang's eyes for a long time before finally replying:
"I do not know."

"Huh? Isn't this the magic method you set up?"

“According to my initial idea, this method should be the Kun Earth Technique, which uses the trees, rocks and rocks in the forest, and the Kan and Li positions of the master to follow the mountain and water veins.” Liu Fangyue said, speaking in terms he only half understood: “But what I learned is ultimately the Yin Five Elements, which is contrary to the master’s full of Yang energy.”

"so?"

"So I don't know what this spell looks like now," Liu Fangyue said. "However, the essence of the bewitching array is still there; it's still a method of bewitching people's minds."

Lin Jiang scratched his head.

After thinking about it for a long time, he decided that he should brush up on his knowledge of Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination and escaping).

It's really unacceptable that someone can't even explain the ins and outs of the moves they use.

"Master, are there any leftover stones?"

"Have."

Lin Jiang glanced at the stones left over from setting up the formation, and Liu Fangyue followed up with:
"Please trouble the owner to arrange these stones into human shapes."

Lin Jiang roughly knew what Liu Fangyue was doing, so he simply arranged the remaining stones carefully to form a human-shaped outline.

Liu Fangyue fell silent for a long time after seeing the strangely shaped stone figure that Lin Jiang had arranged.

"what happened?"

"It's just a pity that even someone as capable as our boss has his clumsy moments."

Lin Jiang was immediately displeased upon hearing this:
"No one is omnipotent. I'm not a god. How could I possibly know everything?"

"Are you really not a deity?"

"I'm really not a god." Lin Jiang jumped up and down on the spot: "Look, I can't even fly."

Liu Fangyue couldn't help but think of Lin Jiangxue's "Treading on Clouds".

If Lin Jiang continues to improve at this rate, when he uses the Cloud-Stepping Technique in the future, he will likely soar through the air like an immortal ascending to heaven.

Liu Fangyue put aside her distracting thoughts and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to tease.

"Master, go and find some mushrooms nearby."

The forests and mountains are rich in mushrooms, and Lin Jiang found a plump and juicy wild mushroom after a short search.

After placing the mushrooms on the stone, Liu Fangyue used her magic.

A faint light emanated from Lin Jiang's forehead and fell directly into the stone figure before him.

The mycelium grows rapidly in the rock crevices at a speed visible to the naked eye, giving rise to fleshy textures.

In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire stone man like human muscles.

However, judging from the current situation, the mushroom-shaped stone figure looks like a skinned monster, and its bloody and fleshy appearance is quite horrifying.

"Next, please have the girl in the robe release the evil spirits to cover the stone statue, and then the master can use the control spell on the stone figure."

The tiger-striped robe immediately opened its mouth and spat out its usual cougar, which covered the stone embryo. Sure enough, the embryo took on a seven or eight-tenths human-like appearance.

The last step was Lin Jiang's turn. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Jiang reached out and touched the stone figure in front of him.

Following his familiar method of channeling Qi, Lin Jiang infused his Qi into the stone sculpture before him.

A moment later, the stiff stone man actually slowly rose from the ground and stood expressionless in front of Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang looked at the stone man and blinked.

He swung his arm, trying to make the stone golem take a step forward.

The stone man did a backflip on the spot and fell to the ground with a thud.

Lin Jiang's expression turned somewhat awkward.

When manipulating his own body, Lin Jiang could at least make some subtle control over his movements, but when manipulating this thing, he couldn't even control his fingers.

But at least they managed to make it.

Seeing that he had already wasted a lot of time here, and that he also needed to try to see if he could still control the stone golem from a distance, Lin Jiang decided not to stay any longer.

Clouds rose beneath his feet, increasing his speed, and Lin Jiang rushed directly out of the shrouded mist, disappearing from the spot moments later.
