Chapter 71: The Tibetan Cave Dharma Assembly, the Ancient Lion Camel Yintu

义庄
The house was filled with gusts of smoke and cold wind.

The temperature dropped suddenly, frost formed on the eaves, and people were so cold that steam came out of their mouths.

In front of Xu Yang there was a mushroom the size of a human head. The mushroom cap was pitch black with strange runes painted on it in cinnabar. At a glance, the runes vaguely formed a twisted and strange human face.

Next to the mushroom is a green plant half a person's height. The top of the plant is similar to a pea, with dark green magic eyes on both sides, which is spinning rapidly.

There is also a strange willow tree, which also has evil eyes.

The willow tree looks almost normal, with dark green leaves. The roots are not rooted in the ground, but support the ground like human feet.

"Not bad."

Xu Yang looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, then released a stream of water vapor. The dark water vapor formed into a dark cloud that carried the three monsters to the back mountain.

First, throw the mushrooms into the woods.

boom! !

The mushroom exploded, forming a dark green mushroom cloud. The green fire engulfed an area of ​​three meters in radius. The hard spores inside the mushroom were like bullets, with a lethality of ten meters, and the trees were riddled with holes.

The peas were planted in the forest, and soon some wild beasts passed by.

boom!
The demon's eye lit up, and a fist-sized, iron-shot pea shot out, punching a hole in the boar's chest before exploding and flames engulfing the beast.

All three plants have added the ability to prevent evil, and will automatically attack outsiders. In addition, there is also the familiar candlelight technique.

The reason why we don’t change to other stronger spells is mainly due to proficiency and cost issues, or in other words, it’s all about cost issues.

The essence of this plant zombie is consumable.

The refining is simple and the cost is low.

If powerful runes are engraved, the maintenance cost will inevitably increase.

After much thought, I think candlelight technique is more suitable.

"From now on, willow trees will be used to guard gates and important corners. Throwing mushrooms is more economical than throwing bats. Bats are more flexible."

Candlelight Mushroom, Corpse Willow, and Magic Eye Pea.

It is suitable to plant the magic eye peas in advance, and then use the magic eye to monitor secretly, and then all the enemies will be focused on.

Plant zombies have a huge advantage over animal zombies, which is that they are sufficiently hidden. Unless ordinary people are particularly alert, it is difficult for them to think of guarding against the plants around them.

Xu Yang was quite satisfied with the creation of a new zombie system.

Go back to the backyard and wave your hand to send all the zombies into the altar.

After a period of rituals and training, the Army Altar now has a capacity of two hundred and fifty people.

Xu Yang controls a hundred zombies at the same time, but that doesn’t mean he can’t refine more and replenish them immediately when they are used up.

Now that the charity cemetery system has been established, the rate of military expansion is increasing rapidly.

Qingping, Qingtian and Liu Yun initially refined ordinary zombies and then placed them in the morgue for nurturing. If the zombies in the altar were used up, Xu Yang would just take some time to replenish them.

time after that.

Either spend it in cultivation, or control zombies to kill demons.

The frequency of demons is not too high, so it is easy to deal with.

"The largest number of monsters appeared in Fenglong County, followed by Quhuang, and finally Longcong County, Ganlu County, and Lingyue County with relatively small numbers." Qingping reported the number of monsters during this period.

Just as Xu Yang predicted, there is no need to worry about the appearance of the Zhang family. We can just deal with it as it comes.

After all, I am not the protagonist in the story, not everything revolves around me, others are only focusing on me and making trouble, and Yizhuang is just one of their many targets.

These demons have become smarter. They took away all the corpses without leaving any clues.

The next day.

The sky was just getting brighter, the golden sun was emerging in the sky, and the roosters were crowing, dispelling the cold and gloomy air of the night.

"Report! General Blackfish's envoy wants to see you!"

"Oh? The envoy of General Black Fish?" Xu Yang raised his eyes, withdrew his true energy, and went out to greet him.

I saw this guy named Red Crab standing outside the door.

"Master Xu Yang, how are you?" Chixie bowed.

"Captain Red Crab, come in and sit down."

The two sat down, and Chixie drank tea and chatted with Xu Yang.

Every time he came here, his cognition was refreshed.

When I first met Xu Yang, I regarded him as a junior, but later we were equals. Today, from what I have seen along the way, I can see that he is qualified to be on equal footing with General Blackfish.

Chixie was also a person who could adapt to changing circumstances, and he immediately became much more respectful towards Xu Yang.

"Master, I have something to inform you of. The ceremony at the Hidden Soldiers Cave is about to begin. General Blackfish asked me to come and inform you."

"The Soldier Hidden Cave Ceremony?" Xu Yang was confused.

"Master, don't you know?" Chixie thought about it and felt that it was true. Xu Yang came from a small sect, and his master was just a naturalized Taoist priest who would soon be promoted to the ninth rank. It was normal for him not to know some things.

"Ahem, in the Fire Kingdom, there are some things that only ninth-rank and above can participate in."

"The Fire King controls the main vein of Yinshan Mountain, and the national masters of the various Dao Palaces control other large veins. However, there are always small veins located in the mountains and rivers that the national masters of the great powers do not value."

"In order to distribute these resources, the Taoist officials in charge of the area hold regular meetings to divide up the benefits. The Kumujian Soldier Cave is the Taoist temple of the seventh-rank official of the Nanlu Forbidden Spell Department, the Tongshou Taoist."

Nanlu refers to the four counties at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, namely Quhuang, Fenglong, Longcong and Ganlu. Because they are close to the mountains, demons often come down the mountain to kill people. In order to avoid the counties being independent of each other, this special institution was established.

The Nanlu Dao official takes orders from the Dijie County Magistrate. He usually does not manage mundane affairs, but only comes out to coordinate all parties when major events occur.

"In the southern slope area, there are one water, one earth, and one fire. The water is the flowing water of the Emperor of Water, the earth is the Yin earth of the ancient Lion Camel Cave where the Tibetan Soldiers Cave Dharma Assembly took place, and the fire is the true fire from the earth's core."

After listening to this, Xu Yang suddenly realized that the ninth rank not only has more secret techniques, but also other benefits, such as enjoying these neutral resources.

"The Yin soil of the Ancient Lion Camel Cave is said to be the Yin soil of the ancient cave paradise. It appears once every three years. This soil can be used to grow magic money, or to grow Yin-attribute medicinal materials, refine pills, refine tools, etc."

Since this type of Yin soil is rootless and will slowly lose its spiritual power over time, it must be replenished every three years.

Emperor Liujiang appears once every ten years, and will not appear until the year after next.

The flame is the true fire from the earth's core. It appears once every five years. This fire is extremely valuable. "The Emperor's Flowing Juice can be used as the main ingredient in the foundation-building pill."

Xu Yang's heart moved.

Isn’t the shady soil in the ancient Lion Camel Ridge just perfect for growing plants?
After all, there are not too many plants near the ghost cave.

As for the Emperor Liujiang, when I have cultivated to the point where I am about to break through to the foundation-building stage, I can also use this item.

The Emperor Liujiang is in the canal water. Since he has the Zhenyuan Water Palace, it is easier for him to obtain this thing.

"May I ask what are the conditions for allocating Yin soil?"

"On the night of Yintu's birth, nearby demons will flock to it. The bronze-headed Taoist officials will distribute the rewards according to the number of demons killed."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Captain."

"It should, it should."

Three days later.

The weather was clear, the golden light was shining, and the red glow in the sky seemed to be pressing down.

The farmers were working hard and sweating, their skin was tanned, and the women were among them.

"My lady, look! There's a fairy!"

The farmer pointed in the direction of the charity cemetery, and saw a dark cloud flying out, and the Taoist priest floated away on the dark cloud.

Everyone stopped working and looked at the flying gods with envy.

"Haha, my brother is an apprentice outside the charity cemetery. I heard that he has a chance to become a god." An honest man said, attracting envious and jealous looks from everyone.

Working for the charity cemetery, even as an ordinary handyman, the family will never have to worry about food and drink.

Xu Yang flew all the way on the cloud.

Fly in the direction the red crab said.

Pass through the mountains and avoid monsters and demons.

Come to a mountain stream surrounded by streams and sandwiched between mountains.

Flying into this place, the desolate and bleak scene disappears, replaced by a beautiful scenery like a paradise.

The pines and bamboos are green, the peaches and plums are beautiful, the flowers are in full bloom, and the orchids are fragrant. The sun shines on the clear forest, and thousands of red mists are lingering; the wind blows through the dark valleys, and thousands of colorful clouds are flying.

Beyond the mountain stream, there is a stretch of dead trees, as if all the essence of life has been absorbed by the mountain stream scenery.

There is a gorgeous beauty in the dead silence.

A small path extends into the depths of the beautiful scenery. Every ten steps there is a stone man, and every hundred steps there is a bronze man holding a spear. The bronze is mottled with rust, and dead leaves and flowers fall on the bronze shoulders. It seems that this place has existed since ancient times.

"Who is coming?"

Suddenly, the three-meter bronze statue came back to life.

"I am Xu Yang, a Taoist priest from Quhuang Yi Zhuang." Xu Yang showed his legal certificate and the bronze man led the way.

Follow the path to a cave.

There are bronze men guarding each side of the cave entrance, as well as two Taoist boys with bronze faces.

Push open the red door.

It was bright inside, with white sunlight, wind and sound, and flowers, plants and fruits.

Three tall bronze palaces stand.

There are bronze men and bronze horses, Taoist children and immortal messengers coming and going.

The ground was littered with rotten copper and iron scraps, and the cave was filled with golden air that stung people's brows and caused pain.

Xu Yang noticed that the copper these people had was all old copper. This place was called the Soldier Storage Cave. Could it be the place where soldiers were hidden in the ancient battlefield?
The scene of this paradise is several times better than Yizhuang and even Huangya Temple.

The peach blossom forest outside the bronze palace was filled with incense tables, and many ninth and eighth-rank officials from the four counties on the southern slope had gathered there.

Xu Yang also saw Dan Feng, Hei Yu, Taoist Long and Taoist Wu Gui. The two of them also saw Xu Yang and nodded slightly.

There were not many people above the ninth rank in the four counties, with five or six at most and two or three at least. In addition to the Taoist priest Huang Du of Qushui Qiyan and his two disciples, there were about twenty people, and Rufeng was in seclusion and did not come.

These are all the foundation-building forces in Nanlu. Xu Yang is probably one of the few people here who has achieved great success in true Qi.

Sitting on the main seat was a strange man who was over ten feet tall.

The moment I saw this person, the aura of eternal vicissitudes hit me in the face. The whole person looked like an ancient bronze statue, with lifelike facial features and crooked bird and insect characters engraved on his body.

"Master, Master Xu Yang is here!"

Xu Yang sat down under the guidance of the Taoist boy, next to Dan Feng, and next to Hei Yu. During this time, the Taoist with the bronze head kept following him.

"Hey? Where did the red-faced yaksha go?" The voice of the bronze-headed Taoist was like the collision of metal and iron.

Not only him, but people from other counties were a little curious. This position was occupied by the Red-faced Yaksha in previous years, but now it has been replaced by someone else.

"I was promoted to the ninth rank two years ago, but fellow Daoist Yaksha went insane and died. Before he died, he entrusted his foundation to me." Xu Yang said.

"I testify that this is true." General Blackfish stood up and said.

Dan Feng sneered in his heart.

"Okay." The bronze-headed Taoist waved his hand.

When everyone was gathered, he said:
“Without further ado, on the top of the ancient Jinghua Mountain, on the night of the full moon on the 15th day of the lunar month, the heaven and earth interacted and gathered together the mystical essence to form 15 mu of Yin soil in the Lion Camel Cave.

"I have set up a formation to protect it in advance. When the demons come to snatch it, you will be responsible for killing them. After this battle, there may be fewer demons causing trouble at the foot of the mountain."

"The distribution of Yin soil will follow the rules of previous years. You are allowed to bring subordinates, but only three people."

"Yes!" Everyone stood up and responded. The banquet ended and everyone went home.

In the sky, Xu Yang stepped on the soft dark clouds, thinking about something.

"Trench warfare?"
