Chapter 41: Apprentice Qingping, Taoist Zombie
…………

The palace of Sanjun County and the Daochang of Gang.

Nine-headed zombie dragons are swimming in the water, and three-headed zombies are guarding the door.

Deep in the bamboo forest, there are corpse ghosts with swords stuck all over their bodies.

In the pavilion, Taoist Zhigang with black marks on his face was sitting cross-legged practicing. Dark green yin energy was lingering around him, and his face was pale and lifeless, as if he had gone to the underworld to cultivate his body.

"Uncle Master!!"

Bailong came running over holding a dark green and white lantern. The lantern was filled with soul energy, and it was obvious that he had made a lot of gains in the countryside.

Zhi Gang regained his spirit and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Bai Long. It seems that this time we have a rich harvest."

"Well, we have basically found out that a total of 48,000 boys and girls died. We have confiscated the Heart Grass from most of them. We have exposed this matter to the public. The old eunuch should not be able to get away during this period."

"Yes, Senior Brother Shenmu has recently made a breakthrough in seclusion, so there is no need to report to him."

"I came here to report to my uncle-master about Xu Yang's situation in Quhuang County."

Taoist Zhigang slapped his head and almost forgot.

"How is this person?"

"He has good talent. He has learned how to refine simple flying and walking zombies. He has innate yin-yang eyes and can control a large number of zombies."

"Oh, you're not a fool. I see."

Taoist Zhigang understood and let Bailong leave.

Taoist Zhigang was very happy to hear that someone had mastered the Taiyin Method. It had been a long time since anyone had mastered this method.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot enter the eyes of Taoist Zhigang. Several decades ago, there were people who mastered the Taiyin Method, but now they are still standing still and struggling in the Zhenqi realm. It is estimated that their life span will only last for a few years.

……

In the early morning, the sun shines obliquely, and a ray of golden light hits the plaque of the charity cemetery.

The charity cemetery was replaced with a brand new copper plaque with four big characters inscribed on it: Shijia Charity Cemetery.

The red door was repainted and two majestic stone lions were placed at the entrance.

Follow the path through the central courtyard, the ancestral hall, and to the backyard.

There are ten acres of spiritual fields in the backyard surrounded by high walls. Each spiritual field has an altar for raising corpses, and the altar is surrounded by red cloth.

The morning sun had faded, but the area was still shrouded in dark fog.

In the central altar.

A young Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged, with a green-haired woman coiled around him, her long hair covering her body.

After a long time, Xu Yang slowly woke up. When he looked at the Banyan God on his body again, he found that the woman had already fallen into a deep sleep.

"That's enough, let's stop here and let you recuperate for a while."

Who says there is no field that cannot be destroyed?
Xu Yang came to another corpse-raising altar, lifted the red cloth, and saw a large black altar inside.

The black altar was sealed with cinnabar, and strange runes were painted on its surface with gold.

In the art of talismans, there are countless kinds of dyes used to draw talismans, among which gold is a relatively excellent material. Runes painted with gold are not afraid of wind and rain, and their spirituality can even be maintained for dozens or even hundreds of years.

The big black jar was filled with yin energy. Xu Yang closed his eyes and sensed the black jar itself.

There is life inside the black altar, like a silkworm transforming into a moth, about to undergo metamorphosis.

Xu Yang made hand gestures.

hum! !

A bone sword flew out of the Qiankun bag. The bone sword turned red and spewed out three inches of sword energy.

boom!
The black jar was cut open precisely, revealing a cute little girl as delicate and lovely as white jade curled up inside.

The little girl closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, like a hibernating little wild animal, with a long line of blood on her back.

Xu Yang put clothes on him.

“I didn’t expect it to be a woman.”

That’s right, it was the little ghost in the altar. During this year, he had not been practicing in the room all the time. Occasionally, when he had free time, he would think about some secret techniques.

Xu Yang waited quietly, waiting for the little ghost in the altar to revive. …

The Yizhuang ancestral hall is brightly lit with candles.

Xu Yang stood with his hands behind his back.

Behind him were fifteen pure gold corpses, standing in the corner like iron towers.

Green fire bats and red-eyed crows were flying in the sky. In the corner lay a wolverine that looked like both a bear and a wolf, and a coiled green-scaled, white-eyed snake.

There are two green eyeballs in the sky.

"Master, I feel the body temperature and heartbeat you mentioned. There is also a cool air in my lower abdomen. Is this the true Qi?" The little ghost covered her belly and answered Xu Yang's question. Her eyes were pitch black, and she was wearing oversized clothes with sleeves dragging on the ground.

"That's right." Xu Yang smiled slightly.

The little ghosts in the altar are alive and can practice like living people.

But he also has the characteristics of a ghost, is close to yin energy, and has the ability to see yin and yang.

This is a half-human, half-zombie created by the Yuhua Sutra and the Blood Sword Technique.

Xu Yang called it the living dead system.

The zombies created by this method can practice cultivation, and can summon a blood sword from their backs to kill enemies at any time.

What’s more important is that the living dead can be regarded as one’s disciples and be under one’s absolute control, without having to worry about rebellion.

"From now on, you will be this Taoist's eldest disciple, and you will be given the name Black Eyes... ahem, let's call you Qing Ping."

The little ghost has a miserable life, his fate is like duckweed and his body is like weeds.

Now that I have been reborn, I hope I can shine.

"Ahem." Qing Ping imitated Xu Yang's cough, put on an adult look, and bowed with both hands, "Disciple... uh, greetings to Master."

"Be good, just call me Master. Continue to familiarize yourself with your body and ask me if you have any questions."

Xu Yang walked around and looked at the total number of sixty zombies. The big handprint had broken through again. The current control limit was sixty, including fifteen Corpse King Kongs, eight Prison Gate Zombies, and the rest were all quick-made zombies.

No zombies have been created recently, and Lingtian is in the state of nurturing the zombies to ease the financial pressure of nurturing the medicinal materials.

Xu Yang stood in the pavilion, the cool breeze blowing on his face, his mind sinking into his body, visualizing the Warring States silk book.

Qigong Master: Xu Yang
Realm: True Qi

Supernatural powers: Bardo Dharmakaya. Three secret Yin bodies (remaining)
法术：太阴自然炼尸法（小成：589/1000）真传大手印·根本无畏（大成1/1000）。阴阳眼。河车宫养生秘箓·感炁真炁篇（小成1404/1500）灵飞蚕蛾羽化真经生长肉身（小成2/1000），还有一柄胎元内养血剑术。（小成23/800）

Candlelight Method (perfect), Secret Huaimu Linglang (perfect), Zhigang Taoist Zombie Totem Secret Technique (perfect), Stone Body Mica Technique (perfect), "Ghost Covering Method" (perfect), and "Taiyin Controlling Qi Method" (perfect)

The secret techniques of the three major systems, Corpse King Kong, Prison Gate Zombie, and Quick-made Zombie, have almost been perfected, and practicing this kind of zombie is simply a piece of cake.

The secret technique of the living dead system has also been slightly accomplished.

Now Xu Yang’s own strength is not weak either. Not only does he have the Mica Technique that makes him invulnerable to swords and spears, he can also control the blood sword to kill enemies.

This blood sword is a magical weapon made from the spine of a monk's corpse. It can release sword energy and cut through iron like mud.

After a year of seclusion, he had perfected all the miscellaneous skills that had occupied most of his energy in the past. His strength had greatly improved, and he was not far from achieving great success in true Qi.

"Almost." Xu Yang put away his distracting thoughts.

The future goal is to break through the true qi and then exchange for new secret techniques, especially the corpse-raising ground and the military altar method.

Sixty zombies would take at least three bags, plus the original Qiankun bag. Walking on the road, he looked like an elder of the Beggars' Sect. He was not as good as the Bingmatan who could be summoned at will and dismissed at will.

This is so convenient.

"Ok?"

At this time, the images came from the prison gate zombies outside, which seemed to be the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of General Black Fish.

dong dong dong! !

"General Blackfish's attendant wants to see Taoist Zombie!"

Zombie Taoist Priest, Xu Yang used to control a huge number of zombies, so this nickname replaced the Bloody Taoist Priest.
