Chapter 27: The Barbarians Descend the Mountain
"Zombies are the result of the resentment of heaven and earth, and they are born from the dead air of heaven and earth. Zombies die but do not transform, and the ancients saw their miraculous powers, so they refined the corpses and turned them into Taoist soldiers. Usually, corpses are refined into human bodies; the Taiyin method can be used to refine the scales, hair, and feathers of insects - Zhigang Taoist"

In the Yizhuang Ancestral Hall, Xu Yang opened the book brought by the kingfisher.

"Master Zhigang, it's him again." Xu Yang remembered that the first zombie totem method he exchanged was created by Master Zhigang.

It seems that this person has profound attainments in the art of corpse refining.

Xu Yang observed the classics carefully. This technique was a bit more difficult. It was not a rough method of refining corpses with Yin Qi, but it was a practice based on the structure of the human body and the meridians and acupoints inside the corpse. It also required a higher ability to control Yin Qi.

Every time you refine a zombie, it is equivalent to refining yourself.

But it is not difficult to understand, after all, there is the Jintan Corpse Refining Method as the basis.

The Taiyin Body Refining Method is also known as the method of scales, hair, feathers and insects.

"蠃" means naked, and naked worm refers to a hairless and shellless creature. Humans are the leader of naked worms.

Scaly insects are creatures with scales, and the dragon is the leader of the scaly insects.

Caterpillar refers to walking animals, and Qilin is the longest one.

Feathered insects are flying birds, and the phoenix is ​​the leader.

Insects refer to creatures with shells, and shells, crabs, and turtles are the leaders of insects.

This method is said to be able to refine these types of creatures.

In addition to the types, monks can also add a lot of unique abilities to zombies.

These are based on the ability to control corpses and Yin energy.

"I have a bardo body that is close to Yin energy and Yin-Yang eyes, plus the Warring States silk book, it will be easier for me to get started." Xu Yang thought, flipping to the back of the book, "Hey, are these two spells included as a bonus?"

The White Wolf Method and the Flying Bird Method are inscribed on it, and the anatomical diagrams and acupoint locations of the two species are depicted in great detail.

"Da Lang, bring me a wolf."

Next, Xu Yang began to practice this method.

in the afternoon.

The scorching sun faded a little, and a black wind brought over two skinny wolves.

At night, thick clouds and drizzle fell on the pavilion.

Xu Yang did not rush to practice, but used a sharp knife to cut open one of the wild wolves. Ignoring the blood, he studied it according to the drawings in the book. After he became familiar with it, he killed another wild wolf, pasted a talisman on it, sealed its seven orifices with cinnabar, and sealed it in a coffin to keep it warm.

Time passes little by little.

In addition to practicing the basic skills, Xu Yang also practiced the Taiyin method.

On the silk book of the Warring States Period, the secret method of Jintan Corpse Refining (Great Mastery 1/1000) disappeared and was transformed into the Taiyin Natural Corpse Refining Method (Entry Level: 86/500).

The secret method of Dacheng only increased by eighty-six points, which was obviously difficult. However, it allowed Xu Yang to get started smoothly and saved ordinary people from years of hard practice.

……

Yinshan Mountains.

The locust wood ghost walks through the mountains and forests.

Suddenly, three or five lonely ghosts appeared in front. The ghosts seemed to be conscious and patrolled in groups of three or five.

The locust wood ghost took out the bone flute and was on guard cautiously.

After waiting for a long time, I saw a lonely ghost coming to a secluded valley.

Here, the ancient trees are towering and the shade of the trees blocks out the sun.

There was a thick layer of fallen leaves, the dead leaves were damp, rotting and fermenting, and the air was filled with a foul smell.

There is a cave on the cliff with black smoke coming out.

Wandering ghosts enter it and never come out.

When Huaimu Gui saw the cave, he felt extremely dangerous and did not dare to get close to it.

My intuition tells me that there is a big secret hidden inside, perhaps it is the wild Buddha that the master mentioned.

After observing for a long time, the locust ghost withdrew and left, catching some wild wolves and flying birds on the way.

That night, Huaimugui went back to report.

"A haunted cave? Just keep an eye on it and don't move rashly."

"Yes!!" The ghost disappeared.

Xu Yang's eyes turned green, he made finger gestures, and stared at the coffin intently. Beside it were many useless wolf and bird corpses.

The structure of the corpse is different, so the refining methods are also different.

Even he failed many times.

But unlike others, he had the Warring States Silk Book. As long as he found a successful path, he would be able to do it as smoothly as diarrhea.

This is called permanent proof.

……

late at night.

The sky is vast and blue, with stars arrayed in an array, and tiny dots of starlight sprinkled across the world.

Yizhuang.

The gloomy energy was like clouds and the wind was howling.

Xu Yang stood still, twenty wolves stood in front of him. Their fur was gray, their eyes were cloudy, their teeth and claws were sharp, and they exuded a strong aura of death.

There were twelve birds flying in the sky. They looked lifeless, as big as black crows, and had red eyes, which was very creepy.

"Haha, interesting, this method is very suitable for me."

One acre of spiritual field can refine a zombie, or two wolves, or four birds.

The white wolves and birds are actually not as good as humanoid zombies. They have a short lifespan and slightly less strength, but they have the advantage of being numerous, easy to refine, and low cost.

Ordinary Taoist corpse-carrying priests would not use such things to occupy their own corpse-carrying quota.

But Xu Yang is different. With the blessing of the bardo body, the Warring States silk book, and the Great Fundamental Seal, he can control forty zombies at the same time.

The tactic that suits him best is the human wave tactic.

Forty humanoid zombies are too expensive, and these cheap animal and bird zombies just meet his needs.

"Twenty white wolf zombies, twelve flying birds, and five zombies, a total of thirty-seven."

Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

After a month, I have mastered the method, which proves that there is a way out, instead of wasting years in vain.

The Taiyin Method gave him more confidence in his bid for the ninth rank.

……

Deep in the mountains.

The mountains are not uninhabited. Many people hid in the mountains to avoid heavy taxes and corvee labor. As the number of people increased, villages were formed over time.

These people were called savages or mountain people by the imperial court.

Between the mountains and valleys, there is a small village with a few hundred people.

There was a bonfire in the village, and a man was sitting in front of it.

This man was as strong as bronze, had short hair, a skull necklace around his neck, and his naked upper body was covered with runes.

The flames clung to his body, refining his true body, and his body was faintly glowing with golden light.

There were also seven or eight people sitting cross-legged around this person who were dressed similarly to him, with him being the center of attention.

The wild men bowed to him.

"Greetings to the fearless master! Sattva tribe!!"

This person's name was Wuwei, and he was one of the four great disciples of Qinghaidi. The word "sattva" means all living beings in the Fire Buddha Kingdom. The disciple converted by Wuwei was the one Xu Yang met that day.

Wuwei's eyes glowed with gold, and he spoke slowly: "The demons are rampant, and the world is in ruins. The evil spirits are so cruel and mad that they have harmed many of our brothers..."

"Kill them!!"

"Kill them!!"

“Get down the mountain!!”

The savages looked fanatical, as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Some of them even pierced their cheeks with knives to ask for a fight.

“Master, let’s fight! We can no longer endure this. Save all the people from this dire strait!” the disciples also prayed.

Wuwei said after a while: "Go down the mountain, exterminate the demons and save the people!!"

The fearless ability to conjure up weapons and create objects out of thin air made everyone crazy again.

"kill!!"

Hundreds of people burned, killed, looted and took other savages with them along the way, and gradually their number reached a thousand.

The first choice was actually the township where Fang Tong was located.

This village is located halfway up a mountain. There are usually no wars here, so we were caught off guard by the sudden arrival of the barbarian Buddhist soldiers.

"Master, help me!!!"

Fang Tong fled all the way to Huangya Temple, and soon the news that the barbarian soldiers had come down the mountain spread throughout the county.

"Please invite Master Huangya! Invite all the captains to come and discuss matters!!"

At the county government office, General Blackfish issued an order.

The county government office was brightly lit all night.

The two vanguard troops, each with 800 men, rushed to the battlefield.

At the same time, letters turned into thousands of paper cranes and floated to all directions of the Nine Temples.

At the charity cemetery, Xu Yang received a thousand paper cranes.

"In the Yinshan Mountains, barbarian soldiers have come down the mountain to plunder and have affected several villages. The imperial court has issued an order for all temples in Quhuang to rush to the Yinshan Mountains to help kill the enemy!!"

"Here he comes." Xu Yang looked at the vast mountains with deep eyes. The Barbarian Buddha had not appeared for several months. He always had a premonition that the next time the Barbarian Buddha appeared, it would bring a greater crisis.

In addition to the Barbarian Buddha, there may be other crises in this world, such as the locust wood ghosts and other mysterious creatures that are secretly monitoring outside the two villages.

Therefore, for several months, he swallowed his anger and never stopped refining corpses, which even affected his basic practice to a certain extent.

For this day.

"It's my turn."

The zombies are vicious and the ghosts are flying.

(Please give me a monthly ticket!)
