Chapter 26: Nine-headed Zombie Dragon, Taoist Zhigang

The Yinshan Mountains are continuous in groups.

The vast Yinshan Mountain Range runs through the entire Fire Elephant Kingdom, and the Fire Elephant King occupies an area of ​​800 miles.

Shiqiao Township is built on a mountain, and at the foot of the mountain is a gloomy and dim mountain villa.

On this day, the city was covered with dark clouds and filled with miasma.

A gust of black wind blew in the air, swirling around the charity cemetery, the two villages, and the mountains and forests behind the cemetery.

There were three black winds in total, like black smoke passing through the dense forest and bushes.

The beasts avoided it and the birds fled.

A locust wood ghost with a pitch-black body, a translucent figure and pale green skin took shape on a tree branch.

Wow…

The wandering ghosts hid away, and some were even frightened to death on the spot.

This is the locust tree ghost in Yizhuang.

Below the rich atmosphere, in the backyard of Yizhuang.

The three pavilions are like tombs, and the Taoists sit cross-legged in the pavilions, breathing in and out the Yin energy.

Five True Qi zombies stood behind him, with strong physiques, and ten ordinary zombies were lined up behind them.

He was wearing jet-black armor, a dark red official uniform, a green face and fangs, and looked extremely murderous.

Surrounded by zombies, the Taoist priest looked particularly eerie, and even the crooked words "Corpse Family's Important Place" on the gate beside him looked solemn and dignified.

After a long time, Xu Yang woke up, all the negative energy was gone, and he picked up the Eight Treasures Soup beside him and drank it all.

Finally I replenished a lot of energy.

“Phew, I’m so tired!!”

Xu Yang took a deep breath, looked inward, and visualized the Warring States silk book.

Qigong Master: Xu Yang
Realm: True Qi

Supernatural powers: Bardo Dharmakaya. Three secret Yin bodies (remaining)
法术：真传大手印·根本无畏（入门35/100）。阴阳眼。河车宫养生秘箓·感炁真炁篇（入门302/1000），烛火法（小成66/500），金坛赶尸秘法（大成1/1000）……

"The Golden Altar Secret Technique has been perfected. I can finally practice the Taiyin Natural Corpse Refining Technique."

After working hard for a month, I spent most of the time practicing corpse-raising, consumed nearly three hundred taels of Eight Treasures Soup, and gained about ten points a day. Finally, I mastered the secret method.

Xu Yang looked at his works with satisfaction. In addition to these, there were some semi-finished products in the morgue.

Jingle Bell! !

The bells rang and the zombies returned to their coffins.

Ordinary Taoist Zhenqi priests would probably drop their jaws in shock when seeing this scene of controlling fifteen zombies at the same time; if they knew that Xu Yang was gifted and could control forty zombies at the same time with the blessing of the Great Fundamental Seal, they would be so scared that they would faint.

The most important thing in corpse refining is the spiritual fields that nourish the zombies. Currently, the number of spiritual fields restricts the speed of troop explosion.

"Sell all the remaining ten and keep the five." Xu Yang thought.

The next day.

The paper crane delivered the message half an hour later.

Xuanying came on horseback.

"Master Dao!!!" Hearing the familiar knocking frequency, the little ghost in the altar knew who was coming.

Sure enough, Xuanying appeared as soon as the door opened.

Xuanying was prepared and threw a pill.

"Fellow Daoist, aren't you going to fight for the ninth rank? Liu Qing's merits have already exceeded three hundred and fifty, and you're only fifty."

"Don't worry, there's no use in worrying."

There may not be enough zombies, otherwise, if a wave of zombies searched the mountain, they would definitely find a few barbarians.

But Xuanying is right. If we don’t take action now, the position will probably be given to someone else.

"Xuanying, triple the materials next time."

"Three times?" Xuanying asked in shock. How much materials does one person's charity cemetery need?
"There's no other way. I'm not skilled in the craft and I wasted a lot, so I might as well stock up a little." Xu Yang didn't want to reveal his secret.

"Okay." Xuanying didn't ask any more questions. Xu Yang was his big client. Without the orders from Yi Zhuang, the business of Yaokefang would not be as good as before.

Soon, Xuanying disguised himself as ten zombies and left, earning four hundred and fifty taels.

Ten quick-growing zombies are for sale. It’s not a big deal to sell these disposable zombies, but the five permanent zombies must not be sold.

As the secret technique became more sophisticated, the cost of zombies was further reduced, and the net profit from this deal was two hundred taels.

The silver was put away and the new bodies were placed in the three coffins in the pavilion.

Return to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall was brightly lit.

Xu Yang took out the Dharma book and visualized the Dharma seal left by the Heche Palace.

Wow! !

Lines of information emerged from the French books, most of which were about the spells of driving corpses.

The highest ones are "The Gold, Silver, Copper and Iron Corpse Refining Method" and "The Taiyin Natural Corpse Refining Method", which have fifty merits.

The first option is not worth considering, after all, I am extremely poor now. The second option is better.

Visualize this method with your mind and leave the address.

Soon, the sixty-two merits became twelve.

The next day, the kingfisher will come with a letter.

…………

Dijie county town.

The city was ten feet high and the crowd was surging.

Three county palaces are located here.

Chechi County Palace is the most mysterious. It does not open its gates, does not accept incense, and is a family inheritance.

The Saga County Palace is located deep in the mountains, with a branch in the county town.

In the north of the city, there is a group of luxurious palaces.

The sun was shining brightly, but here the clouds were thick, and the temple looked gloomy and eerie.

There was a huge crowd of people in front of the door.

This is where the palace of the three lords is located.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see three statues of a hundred feet tall standing side by side. They are three Taoists wearing purple-red Taoist robes, one with a tiger head, one with a bear head, and one with a cow head.

The bluestone is covered with the mottled traces of time, and the air of eternal vicissitudes is overwhelming.

These are the three gods enshrined in the Sanjun County Palace: General Yin, Lord Xiongshan, and Special Hermit.

It is said that the Three Gods are the source of the Three Lords' Taoist tradition.

There were palaces, pavilions, and Taoist priests of various ranks coming and going.

Deep inside, there are dense bamboo forests and strong yin energy.

A tall red building stands here, with all its doors and windows sealed with red cloth.

A kingfisher flew through the dark sky, uttered a clear cry, and flew behind the red building.

Looking down.

The red-faced Taoist boy stands in the corner, and the black-faced evil ghost patrols the sky.

The red-eyed crow was wrapped in black clouds and flew around the bamboo forest.

The air is filled with dark green and gloomy energy, and the water veins of the spiritual fields are visible.

Behind the Red Building, there is a green river.

The river was dark green, with duckweed floating on it, and the bottom was invisible. Suddenly, something in the water rolled over, and a huge creature broke out of the water.

Wow! !

This is a nine-headed black dragon, fifty feet long, with black scales like armor, a rugged single horn, and a ferocious face.

Upon closer inspection, it was found that this creature had no life, dull eyes, and a strong aura of death. It was actually a zombie dragon.

If anyone were here, they would definitely recognize that this is the famous nine-headed zombie dragon in the Dijie County Palace.

In a pavilion by the river, a Taoist priest in white was sitting cross-legged and practicing. The middle-aged Taoist priest had pale skin, a goatee, and black runes painted around his eyes and between his eyebrows.

The Taoist priest in white also had no signs of life, his body was stiff, and negative energy was emanating from him, as if his soul had gone to the underworld to refine his body.

Phew! !

The kingfisher landed in the pavilion and spoke in human language, its voice as loud as a silver bell: "Hello, Master Zhigang!!"

As soon as these words came out, the Taoist's Yin energy gathered, and the Taoist regained vitality and opened his dark eyes.

"So you are the bird official messenger, why did you call me Taoist?"

"Someone wants to exchange the Taiyin Corpse Refining Technique. I don't have it, so I came to you." The Kingfisher Messenger said helplessly.

"Oh? Hahaha!" Taoist Zhigang laughed inexplicably, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. The evil and gloomy aura disappeared immediately. "There are still young fools who dare to change? Interesting, little bird official, let me make it clear first, I won't retreat until I succeed in practicing."

The Taiyin method is extremely difficult and tests one's skills and knowledge the most. One either cannot get started at all, or gets started with great difficulty, wasting half of one's life and wasting one's fundamental training.

After all, ordinary corpse refining only refines the human body, and the body structures of different species are different, and the methods and sequences of casting spells are also different, which brings extremely high difficulty.

"Of course, I won't retreat. That's the rule!"

"Who changed this method?"

No one has exchanged it for more than ten years, and Taoist Zhigang is somewhat interested in it.

"Xu Yang, a naturalized Taoist priest from Quhuang County."

"Xu Yang? Who is his master? Which family is his disciple from?"

"No sect, no school, just a country Taoist."

"This kid is very brave." Taoist Zhigang estimated that this kid was also a greenhead who knew nothing, but he was still very happy that someone was willing to exchange with him, so he produced a scroll of bamboo slips and said, "Here are the magic spells. I will also give you the White Wolf Corpse Magic and the Flying Bird Corpse Magic."

The kingfisher flew away with the bamboo slips in its beak.

Taoist Zhigang put aside all distracting thoughts, closed his eyes and practiced.
