Tianwei Chapter 272: The Emperor's Corpse (3)
Can you... succeed? I asked hesitantly, because the answer I wanted most in my heart was: No!
I don't know, Wei Qingcang answered.
Don’t know? I was a little surprised.
Theoretically, it is possible, but in practice, many problems will be encountered. Wei Qingcang said: Although we can solve the corpse's previous life, in this life, it is a corpse. Since it is a corpse, it needs to be raised. The formation condition of the emperor's corpse also requires the Yinming dragon energy. In today's society, where can we find the emperor's tomb? All the ancient tombs have basically been dug up.
Then you guys...
This problem was solved by the Secret Corpse Vein. Wei Qingcang said: They didn't know where they got the method from, using very strange things to transform the spiritual energy, Yin energy and other essences of heaven and earth into something similar to Yin Ming Dragon Energy. In this way, our emperor corpse gradually took shape.
I was even more astonished. Could the Secret Corpse Vein have such superb skills? It seemed that in addition to its own strong strength, the creativity of this vein in terms of skills should not be underestimated.
However, even if the emperor corpse can be formed, it is very difficult to transform it into a golden-winged corpse. Wei Qingcang said: The method of refining the golden-winged corpse is in our hands. But there are too many conditions required. If you want to become the emperor among corpses and command a group of corpses to form a formation, you not only need the emperor corpse, but also the emperor's aura.
The aura of an emperor? What is that? I have never heard of it.
How can I tell you this? Wei Qingcang thought for a moment and said: It is something like murderous aura . It cannot be seen or touched, but it does exist. It is just that this kind of thing cannot be artificially created, but must be produced naturally.
Then how can you succeed... Hope quickly ignited in my heart. If the Heavenly Corpse Vein has no hope of success, maybe Shanbo and Niejingtai can take it away.
There is a method that may be feasible, and that is to restore consciousness to the corpse, Wei Qingcang said.
Regaining consciousness? Just imagine that a golden-winged corpse has its own consciousness and can think like a living person. This is too terrifying.
This was also the method that the Secret Corpse Vein came up with. In order to verify whether this method could succeed, they paid a huge price. It was also because of this that they retired hundreds of years ago. Wei Qingcang said.
A huge price? Could it be... that human soul corpse?
Yes. Wei Qingcang nodded, confirming my guess: that human soul corpse was the result of the experiment. Because of this, all the elders of the Secret Corpse Vein at that time died. A human soul corpse almost destroyed the entire Secret Corpse Vein. If it wasn't discovered later, I'm afraid...
Wei Qingcang shook his head and didn't continue. However, I was horrified to hear this. It turned out that the catastrophe of the secret corpse vein hundreds of years ago was caused by this.
As expected, every power has its own secrets. I originally thought that the human soul corpse was naturally generated, but I didn't expect it to be created by the secret corpse vein itself. This is really a case of self-inflicted trouble.
Fortunately, the Tianshi vein was still very prosperous at that time. At great cost, they invited Master Tianji to find the location of the human soul corpse with his life, and finally killed it. As a result, the strength of the Tianshi vein plummeted. Later, in order to prevent such a thing from happening again, the Tianshi vein was completely divided into four veins, each developing independently, in order to make a comeback at the right time. Wei Qingcang said with a sigh.
So now you are not afraid of another human ghost appearing? I asked.
But the Secret Corpse said that they have found a balance point and this situation will not happen again. Wei Qingcang said.
I know very well that the only chance to get back Shanbo and Niejingtai is to break the hope of Tianshimai. As long as they understand the idea in front, the two magical objects will be useless.
Therefore, I said again: But there is always a chance of something happening. With your current strength, it would be difficult to refine forty-nine emperor corpses. Moreover, each of them could potentially become a human soul corpse. If they get out of control, it would not be as controllable as it was hundreds of years ago.
Fortune and wealth are sought in danger. Without risk, there is no benefit. Wei Qingcang said: If you want the Heaven Corpse Vein to rise, you must take this risk.
Having said that, there is nothing more to say. I touched my nose and could only hold on to the last hope and ask: So what you mean is that Shanbo and Niejingtai can't be taken away... uh, can't be taken away?
Those two things are not in my hands. The Emperor Corpse's plan involves the entire Heaven Corpse Vein, and the Shanbo and Niejingtai are placed in a very critical position to be able to produce Emperor Corpses on a large scale. No one has the power to take them away. If anyone dares to do so, they will be besieged by the entire Heaven Corpse Vein. Wei Qingcang said this to me very seriously, and it was obvious that he was warning me.
I sighed and lowered my head. Although I felt a little angry, this emotion was meaningless and had no basis.
The disciples of three branches died before they could snatch the sacred object, and it was involved in such a crazy plan. What qualifications and reasons do I have to ask them to give up?
At this time, Wei Qingcang spoke again and said: Unless you get the entire Tianshi vein to agree to take out those two things, it will be useless if I agree alone.
This sentence instantly gave me hope. I raised my head and looked at him. Wei Qingcang looked a little helpless and said: Don't look at me, I don't have this ability.
What should I do? I looked at him: What can I use instead?
The key to this plan is the Emperor Corpse. But forty-nine Emperor Corpses may not necessarily become forty-nine Emperor Corpses, and there is a certain chance of failure. Therefore, we need more Emperor Corpses so that others will not think about continuing to own Shanbo and Niejingtai. Wei Qingcang suggested.
I nodded in understanding, but then my headache got even worse.
Forty-nine emperor corpses are not enough? What should I do? I will go and find them more emperor corpses.
How many do you have now? I asked.
"There are seventeen of them, including those found by accident and those that have been refined. There are eighteen still being nurtured in the corpse breeding ground," Wei Qingcang replied.
So many... I was shocked.
Not much. Wei Qingcang shook his head and said: Not only do you know that the two sacred objects will automatically return to the underworld, we also know that. So in order to buy time, we have made some modifications to the corpse-raising land, so that the essence of heaven and earth can ripen the emperor's corpse in the shortest time. But after that, the spiritual land will no longer exist.
You are killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, no...
In order to strengthen the clan, we have no choice. Wei Qingcang said: In order to enter the underworld, the emperor did not hesitate to attract the Qinling dragon to fly. Although the four major feng shui masters joined forces to seal the dragon, the impact and damage to the entire Chinese land is still difficult to estimate. The slight movement of the main dragon vein is like this...
“Bang!”
Wei Qingcang clapped his hands lightly, and as I looked at him in confusion, he opened his palms, revealing nothing inside.
You can't see anything, but that doesn't mean there is nothing here. Wei Qingcang looked at his palm and said: Maybe I can kill countless invisible things with this palm. The reason you think there is nothing is because they are too small. And the same is true for us relative to the Qinling Dragon Vein.
It suddenly dawned on me that it was no wonder that the last time I went back to the city, I saw on the news that disasters had been happening so frequently recently, with earthquakes, sinkholes and the like being countless.
This is our law of survival. If we don’t follow it, we will gradually become dull and eventually disappear completely. Wei Qingcang said finally.
I lowered my head sadly, feeling that I couldn't go on any further. Having said this, it would be nonsense to say more.
The Secret Corpse Veins have occupied many places to raise corpses. In order to maintain their own strength, many places only have unformed living corpses. There are only five places that can be used to breed emperor corpses. Most of these places are occupied by secular people. Raising corpses there is very risky. Therefore, the number of these emperor corpses is not much compared to the price we paid.
Seventeen plus eighteen, that's only thirty-five. Even if the eighteen emperor corpses can eventually take shape, fourteen more emperor corpses are needed to make forty-nine. And according to Wei Qingcang's idea, the more emperor corpses there are in reserve, the better. With this calculation, I suddenly feel that the road ahead is dark...
If the Secret Corpse Vein were to give up the corpse-raising land...
We need time. It will take a long time for the emperor's corpse to take shape, at least six months, Wei Qingcang said.
Six months... the baby is almost born. I curled my lips and kept silent.
Perhaps Wei Qingcang felt embarrassed, so he said: Although I cannot decide to give you those two things immediately, I can guarantee that as long as you can come up with a corresponding method or price, I will hand over the Shanbo and Niejingtai to you, even if you have to rob them.
I have no choice... I lowered my head dejectedly and said these discouraging words.
Maybe you can ask your mother. She is very powerful and knowledgeable, so maybe she can find a way, Wei Qingcang suggested.
Mother? I looked up. Yes, I could still find her.
Although she is not very enthusiastic about me, she has a lot of skills and knowledge. What's more, the Book of Life and Death is in her hands. Wei Qingcang can't find a breakthrough here for the time being, so why not try it from her first? Maybe...
My heart was filled with excitement, thinking that maybe with a little luck, all my troubles could be solved.
Just as I was thinking about it, a young man suddenly ran in. He came in shouting, but when he saw me, he immediately fell silent.
Wei Qingcang waved his hand: Just say it if you have something to say.
Yes... The young man first looked at me curiously, and then said: The Secret Corpse Vein brought people here and confronted us, and a little conflict occurred.
conflict?
The young man said somewhat embarrassedly: I don't know what happened to Mr. Wei today. As soon as the secret corpse vein person arrived, he shouted a word and he went to kill him. Now the situation is a bit... Please go quickly, head of the family.
Mr. Wei? I was stunned for a moment when I heard this name. I turned around and saw Wei Qingcang frowning slightly before I realized what was going on. Mr. Wei, he must be referring to Gamu.
That old guy never wanted to use the Wei family surname anymore. I was so used to calling him Gamu that I couldn't remember it for a moment. Now that I understand, thinking about what the young man said before, I can't help but feel warm in my heart.
Although Gamu and the Taoist priest were once enemies, the relationship between the two seems to be much better than I thought.
