Chapter 80: Sending the Bride
Jiang Zhou was talking about the corpse-driving talisman.
This spell sounded similar to the Xiangxi corpse-carrying that he knew in his other life, but in fact, they were not the same.
If you have to make a comparison, it is a bit like the Maoshan corpse refining technique that he heard about and wondered if it really existed.
Just like the legendary Yellow Turban Warrior and the art of turning beans into soldiers, the ultimate goal is to refine the corpses into Taoist soldiers to protect the law.
This corpse-driving talisman is also called the soul-moving spell, which can make the dead body's spirit disperse.
Although it is still a corpse, it can be revived with intelligence.
If you can regularly use the corpse-driving talisman to raise corpses, after a period of time, you can raise the legendary zombie.
It is invulnerable to swords and spears, and can move as fast as the wind. It is extremely powerful.
But this method requires placing the corpse in a dark place for a period of time.
Six is a yin number, so the corpse must be kept for at least six days to allow some yin energy to accumulate inside before it can be used.
He had thought of this a long time ago, but the reason he didn't use it was because it was too troublesome.
Secondly, this thing is really too weird, and he has some psychological problems.
Especially since the object of corpse refining is the body-refining ghost that looks like an old woman.
This is definitely not a good choice.
The art of refining corpses?
Jin Jiu came over and whispered, "You are not from some evil sect."
Jiang Zhou rolled his eyes: "Go away! I am an authentic Taoist!"
In fact, the Sujing Division has already accepted many strange people in the world, and I heard that there are also people from the evil ways.
There is no distinction between good and evil. As long as it can be used for one's own benefit, it is the right path.
Jiang Zhou felt a little weak when he said this. Who made the things given to him by the Ghost and God Atlas be so weird?
You Xu looked at him deeply and said, "Well, in that case, I will give you one chance. Take my warrant and go find Chief Qian to take the old ghost's body from the Blade Prison."
He turned around and wrote a note on the desk, then took out a token and handed it over.
That refined ghost has been kept in the Sword Prison.
It just so happened that that place was a very dark place with extremely serious injuries and evil spirits.
Now, six days have passed.
"Thank you, sir!"
Jiang Zhou took the note and token from You Xu, nodded to Jin Jiu, and left Baijietang.
Jin Jiu also followed out.
Walking side by side with him, she said, "Jiang Zhou, you don't have to force yourself to be the leader. It won't do you any good."
"Do you think Captain You has no way to investigate further? There are countless strange people in Wanxiang Hall. If he is determined to investigate, he may find out. He just doesn't want to."
Jiang Zhou just smiled and said, "I want to investigate this case not for the sake of showing off, but just to have peace of mind."
How could he not think of this?
You Xu did take this case very seriously before, but for some reason, he suddenly became less concerned and even avoided it deliberately.
Jiang Zhou thought about it and guessed that the changes started after he found out about the pyloric valleculus.
I'm afraid that when they asked him to investigate in the beginning, they didn't think that he could find out the truth at all. They just let him mess around for a bit to set an example.
Since even You Xu was afraid and retreated, I'm afraid that the witch really didn't lie to him.
Jin Jiu thought Jiang Zhou couldn't let go because of those children, but in fact he was not that great.
Of course, attacking so many children did challenge his moral bottom line.
But he would not risk his own safety for this.
On the contrary, he cherishes his life.
He is not afraid to do good deeds, but at least he will do it within his ability.
The reason why I insisted on investigating was simple.
He would really do what the enemy didn't allow him to do.
And the witch happened to be his enemy.
It's not that he is stubborn, but he wants to get more information.
If he doesn't figure out what's going on here, he'll feel even more uneasy.
At least, he needs to know where the source of the danger is.
Even if he was going to fall into the water and drown in the end, he couldn't be thrown in by someone without knowing it. He would rather jump in on his own initiative.
Besides, it is still far from that time now, we are just trying to test the depth of the water.
Jin Jiu thought he was just doing it out of moral obligation, so he said no more and nodded, "It's good that you understand. I'll go back and wait for you. If you need anything, just let me know."
"good."
Jiang Zhou separated from him, returned to his residence, got a pot of Jinbo wine, and went straight to the record room without caring that it was already the middle of the night.
"Old Qian!"
As soon as he came in, he shouted.
In the dim light of the bulb, Lao Qian stuck half of his head out from behind a desk piled with documents and books.
"Jiang boy? It's so late, why are you yelling at me instead of sleeping?"
Jiang Zhou knew that Lao Qian was a weird person.
Whether it was day or night, whenever he was seen, he was always among the piles of documents and books in the record room.
Either drinking or reading.
I never see him sleeping.
"I brought you some wine."
Jiang Zhou put the wine jug in his arms on the table with a smile.
Old Qian's eyes lit up, Jiang Zhou's vision blurred slightly, and he saw that Old Qian was already holding the wine jug and pouring it into his mouth.
"H-uh!"
After a burp, he squinted and said, "Tell me, what do you want to do now?"
Jiang Zhou took out You Xu's warrant and said, "Please take me to the Blade Prison to get something."
Old Qian took the warrant and glanced at it. He didn't react much, but nodded and said, "One high-grade demon body."
"Since you still remember to bring me some wine at this late hour, I will personally take you to get it. Come with me!"
As he said this, he staggered out from behind the table.
"Thank you very much."
Old Qian waved his hand, holding the wine jug in one hand and his back with the other, and walked unsteadily in front.
Jiang Zhou followed behind and soon arrived at the valley behind the mountain.
Following the stone steps, winding through the honeycomb-shaped caves, we entered one of the caves.
Even though Jiang Zhou had been following behind him, he still felt a little dizzy.
If he were to walk the path again on his own, he might not be able to find the cave accurately.
"Who dares to trespass into the Blade Prison?"
A cold voice came from the dark cave.
Jiang Zhou didn't see anyone.
Lao Qian said slowly: "I, Lao Qian."
"Mr. Qian?"
“Boom…”
After hearing a low vibration sound, Jiang Zhou saw a hole opening in the ground of the cave.
A dark red blood light shone through it, illuminating the cave slightly.
A man covered in blood-stained armor walked out from the cave entrance.
As Lao Qian drank the wine, he handed You Xu's warrant and his own token to the blood-armored man and said, "Bring out the number Ren 9277 for me."
The blood-armored man took the warrant and glanced at it, then handed it back and took the note: "Please wait a moment, Mr. Qian."
He turned around and walked back to the cave entrance, ignoring Jiang Zhou behind him.
Only at this moment did Jiang Zhou truly feel the harshness of this sword prison.
That evil woman wanted him to find out what was going on in the Prison of Swords. Wasn't she overestimating him?
He casually said, "Old Qian, you seem to have a lot of face."
Old Qian snorted, exhaling a lot of alcohol, and said proudly with his eyelids rolled up, "That's right, Old Qian, I have been in this Sujing Division for many years. Li Xuance is still wearing open-crotch pants, and I am in charge of the record room. Who dares not to give me face?"
Jiang Zhou was secretly shocked.
As far as he knew, Li Xuance looked young, but that was because of his profound martial arts and strong energy and blood.
In fact, he is already over 60 years old, a real "sixty-year-old man".
Even so, it is said that he is still the youngest fourth-grade martial artist in Nanzhou in over a hundred years.
As he was speaking, the man in blood-armored armor reappeared with something wrapped in linen in one hand.
Judging from the size, it should be the body of the old woman.
Old Qian pursed his lips: "Jiang boy, take it, do you still want an old man like me to carry it on your back?"
Jiang Zhou took the body and left with Lao Qian.
Before leaving, he looked back and saw that the man in blood armor was still standing in the cave, staring at him.
Only after the two left did he return to the cave and close the ground again.
"Jiang boy, don't be so curious. Sword Prison is not a good place."
Before leaving, Lao Qian said something meaningful.
Jiang Zhou nodded and said goodbye with the body.
If this old man Qian is not bragging, there is a high probability that he is a hidden big shot.
It's reasonable to speak in a profound way. If you're not curious, then don't be curious.
He didn't really want to be undercover anyway.
I just thought that there seemed to be a lot of demons imprisoned in there, if he could kill them all...
I feel greedy just thinking about it...
After returning to his residence, Jiang Zhou lifted the sackcloth that wrapped the corpse, revealing the ugly old woman's face of the Refining Ghost.
If it wasn't absolutely necessary, Jiang Zhou definitely didn't want to use this corpse for corpse refining.
It just so happened that among the talismans he had prepared earlier, there was a talisman for driving away corpses.
Taking out a bowl, Jiang Zhou cut his hand and released half a bowl of blood. He then took out a corpse-driving talisman and chanted a spell to activate it. The talisman ignited without fire and turned into ashes which fell into the bowl and mixed with the blood.
Pinch open the jaw of the Refining Ghost and pour the bowl of talisman blood into it, and you're done.
Just wait until dawn, when the sun rises in the east, the gentlest ray of yang energy will appear between heaven and earth, absorb into the corpse, and combine with the yin energy accumulated in the corpse, and the corpse will be refined.
The two most critical steps in refining a corpse using the corpse-driving talisman.
The first is to keep the body in a very dark place for at least six days.
The second is to move the soul. The key lies in this half bowl of talisman blood and a breath of the first sun energy.
The corpse is a dead thing, and its true spirit is gone. The true spirit of this refined ghost has been directly collected by the Ghost and God Chart, and it is impossible for it to get up again.
Unless you create a new one.
He doesn't have the ability to create the true spirit of nature, he is just reading from the script.
He couldn't understand how this spell worked.
But it is impossible to be exactly the same as when you were alive.
At first, the best you can do is make the corpse move.
…
When Jiang Zhou was refining the corpse.
In the wilderness outside the city of Wujun, there was a village.
It was late at night and the village was quiet, with only the occasional whistling sound of the wind.
Suddenly, a burst of joy came from the village.
In the dark village, a group of villagers came to the village entrance with music and carrying a sedan chair.
It looks like a wedding procession.
The bearers put down the sedan chair, but suddenly turned around and ran into the village without looking back.
The others did the same, they turned around and ran, looking as if they were wishing their parents had not given them two more legs.
Only one of the little girls cried and clung to the sedan chair and refused to leave, but was forcibly carried into the arms of a woman and taken away.
In the blink of an eye, only a lonely sedan chair was left at the entrance of the village...
