Chapter 75: Northern Dao Song, Zhi Gang Descends the Mountain

The forest of bones is a dark and desolate place.

The Forest of Corpses is the Taoist temple of Zhigang Taoist. Every blade of grass, every tree, every bird and every beast here are corpses.

In the dark green river, a nine-headed zombie dragon is diving, and in the sky, a red-faced bird with a human body and wings is flying freely.

call! !

As the breeze blew, the dark green bamboo leaves fell straight down. The ferocious and sharp bamboos looked like demons with bared fangs and claws.

If you look closely, you will find that the bamboo forest is seamlessly integrated and seems to have life. The thickest bamboo in the center actually has a human face. The surface of the dark green bamboo has light blue spots like tears.

Taoist Zhigang looked at his work with satisfaction. This was the Nine Nether Tear Bamboo.

This bamboo grows in a very yin place. Over the years, it is contaminated by the dark energy of the underworld, and is born with an out-of-body hole, which gives it a hint of spiritual intelligence.

After being sacrificed and refined by the Taoist priest, this object was transformed into a corpse. The bamboo forest stretching for several acres is a yin object with self-awareness.

Taoist Zhigang was quite satisfied with this.

"Everyone in the world thinks that zombies are only the corpses of insects, reptiles, crickets, and other creatures. Little do they know that all dead creatures, all things with orifices, can be turned into zombies."

The concept of zombie originally referred to the stiff body of a person after death. After being refined by monks, the zombie became a "magic weapon" that could move.

Therefore, the vast majority of people follow this path, and a small number of people use the corpses of other animals.

However, these people did not see the true nature of zombies.

Taoist Zhigang now understands the nature of zombies and has discovered a new category - plant corpses.

Of course, not all plants can be turned into plant zombies, and the conditions for turning into plant zombies are also very harsh.

Zombies are yin creatures formed by the accumulation of yin energy in the acupoints of living creatures after death. Plant corpses naturally have to follow this rule as well.

In the bamboo forest, Taoist Zhigang was very excited about his own creation.

In the eyes of his fellow disciples, Taoist Zhigang is a loner with no one to be close to, and spends his days in the company of demons and monsters.

But who knows where his fun lies?

“Alas, no one understands me.”

Taoist Zhigang looked around, wanting to share his achievements, but he didn't know who to tell.

In the eyes of others, whether it is a plant or other creature, it is just an ordinary zombie. If they don’t understand what they are, they are all called monsters, and they have no idea how high their gold content is.

Zhi Gang suddenly became bored and turned back to the thatched hut, ready to write down his inspiration.

From now on, the bamboo forest will serve as both a guard and a formation.

Next, based on this idea, we can study other types of plant corpses and create a new category.

“What should I call it? Taoist Zhigang’s unique method of planting corpses?” Taoist Zhigang thought.

He looks kind on the surface, but he is extremely arrogant in his heart, which can be seen from the names of his spells.

Wow…

At this moment, the bamboo forest shook, as if something aroused its vigilance.

The bamboo leaves absorb the yin energy, and the dark green bamboo leaves turn into sharp knives.

“Stop!!” Taoist Zhigang sensed it in his heart and quickly stopped the bamboo forest corpse that was under pressure.

With a thought, a path appeared in the bamboo forest.

I saw Bailong walking in slowly with a lantern.

"Greetings, uncle-master." Bai Long bowed, but his eyes could not leave the strange bamboo forest. "Uncle-master, you have mastered your magic again? Congratulations."

Bai Long still understands this uncle-master in front of him. Nothing can praise him more than his achievements.

After saying this, Taoist Zhigang was delighted and said proudly:

"How is it? Apart from anything else, in the three Yinshan countries, or even in the entire Dongzhou countries, my spiritual plant refining method is absolutely unique."

I originally wanted to hear Bai Long’s exclamation.

Unexpectedly, this kid looked calm, and Taoist Zhigang couldn't help but ask:
"Is there anything you don't understand?"

Bai Long smiled strangely and said, "Not necessarily, Uncle Master. You must know that there are always people who are better than you and there are always things that are better than you."

"Humph." This made Taoist Zhigang fuss and stare in dissatisfaction. "I just figured it out. Who else can figure out this method? A Taoist from Shuisui Country? Or a strange person from Huachi Country? Or Dao Song from the north of the mountains?"

Although the Yinshan Three Kingdoms are relatively closed as a whole, from the overall picture of Dongzhou, they are located in the southwest corner and are a relatively desolate place, but they are not completely isolated from the outside world.

"No, this person is far away in the sky, but he is right in front of us. He is in a charity cemetery in Quhuang County, Dijie County."

Bailong briefly recounted Kingfisher's information.

"This person hid in his home and used a large number of plant corpses to kill demons. This story has spread widely in the local area."

"What?" Taoist Zhigang's eyes flashed with brilliance. He quickly came to Bai Long and grabbed his shoulders. "Are you lying to me?"

"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can go and check it out yourself." Bai Long said with a smile.

Among the three princes' palaces, Bai Long and Zhi Gang have the best relationship.

Taoist Zhigang seems to be aloof in character, but once you get to know him, he doesn't act like an elder, and the two get along quite well.

Get confirmation from Bailong.

Taoist Zhigang had a complicated expression on his face and paced back and forth.

An expression of both surprise and joy.

Xu Yang, this name again.

Previously, when this person mastered the Taiyin Method, it really shocked me once. This shock was not the shock of seeing an unparalleled genius, but the contempt and surprise of "Can a country Taoist priest also master this method?"

As for the idea of ​​accepting disciples, Taoist Zhigang never showed up.

After all, there are many people who have mastered this method.

In his opinion, practicing Taiyin Method was just following in the footsteps of predecessors. The truly strong ones were innovative.

Now that he heard that Xu Yang had the same idea as him, Taoist Zhigang felt complicated.

What surprised me was how fast this person improved, and what made me happy was that there was actually someone who could keep up with my thinking.

This is much more important than any genius who practices Taiyin Law. Zhigang is an arrogant person. As long as he doesn't like someone, no matter what kind of genius he is, he won't even look at them.

"No, I'll go and take a look myself!"

Bai Long looked as if he had known it would be like this.

"This person exchanged for a formation. Let's set off in a few days."

"how long?"

"About seven or eight days."

"Too slow. Let's set off the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow." Taoist Zhigang shook his head. He couldn't wait to meet this guy who had similar ideas as himself.

"also."

……

In the early morning, the cold fog dissipates and the weather gradually warms up.

The door of the charity cemetery was closed, and it seemed that the people inside had not yet woken up.

Xu Yang was meditating and practicing as usual, and he paid less attention to the things around him.

Suddenly, his eyelids twitched slightly, sensing someone approaching, and mentally ordered the ghosts and gods not to act rashly.

Wow! !

A black gas gathered in the courtyard.

The person who came was a young man with a strange appearance. He had a bird's beak, his hair was made of hard bird feathers, and he had a pair of wings with black background and gold patterns on his back.

The moment he saw this person, Xu Yang recognized him.

"I pay my respects to you, Mr. Yin! I hope you are well!"

Xu Yang stood up and greeted him.

Zhang Zheng did not reply. He looked around and nodded slightly: "This is a good place. How many people are under your jurisdiction?"

“Close to two hundred thousand.”

Zhang Zheng's eyes lit up.

Only about 8,000 boys and girls are needed to complete the task. It seems that my decision to come here was right.

Capture 8,000 people at one time, don't leave any loopholes for yourself, and just put the blame on Xu Yang.

The key lies in how to control this person. Although there are means to control him, what if this guy has a strong temper and fights with me to the death? Wouldn't that disrupt my plan?

Thinking of this, Zhang Zheng's arrogant expression softened a lot.

"I won't be polite. I came here this time because I want you to collect the materials of the human heart grass."

"How much does Shangguan need?"

"Ten thousand people, all must be virgins, boys and girls."

Xu Yang was secretly shocked. This guy was asking for too much. With a population of 200,000, boys under the age of twelve could only account for one-fifth at most.

That's about 40,000 people, and suddenly 10,000 of them disappeared, and the population collapsed directly.

You might even have to take the blame.

Seeing Xu Yang thinking, Zhang Zheng struck while the iron was hot and said:
"Of course, I'm not asking you to show up in person. You can pretend to be a demon invading, and no one will notice. It won't be a big problem if 10,000 or 20,000 people die."

"I will not treat you unfairly. From now on, you will be a subordinate of the Zhang family and a disciple of the county palace. If nothing else, I guarantee that you can take over Quhuang County."

While speaking, Zhang Zheng vaguely released the aura of a foundation-building demon cultivator.

Xu Yang weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

It was impossible for him to kill ten thousand boys and girls, and it was even more impossible for him to join Chechi Palace.

The Zhang family is not a good place to go.

"Is it feasible to kill this person?"

This person is in the charity cemetery. If a large number of zombies explode, coupled with the Red-faced Yaksha and the initially refined Golden-eyed Eagle, this person may be killed.

But Zhang Zheng must have done his homework before coming here.

But Xu Yang also has a way to deal with it.

Use yourself as bait to create the conditions for a quick zombie explosion. First use the Blood Rain Technique to pollute his spirit, then use the mixed iron stick to launch a sneak attack, causing the quick zombie to explode. Then, Red-faced Yaksha and Golden-eyed Eagle will take action, and it will be basically foolproof.

But after killing this person, wouldn’t we be making mortal enemies with the Zhang family?

How terrifying it would be if a county palace set its sights on me.

After much thought, Xu Yang decided to delay time until the people from Sanjun Palace arrived.

"Shangguan, can you give me some time to think about it?"

"Of course." Zhang Zheng smiled slightly, with a threatening look in his eyes, "Don't let me down."

Afterwards, Zhang Zhengshen meditated in the pavilion. His spiritual thoughts spread out and his figure gradually faded away, as if he had disappeared.

Zhang Zheng thought he was hiding well, but he didn't know that it had no effect in front of Xu Yang, who was immune to illusions, and he could still see this guy's figure.

Xu Yang pretended not to know, with a greedy and hesitant look on his face, muttering to himself:
"Will it be dangerous? But if I follow Che Chigong's path, what can a mere Dan Feng do to me? In the last battle, all the zombies were defeated, and I can only rely on this man..."

He had already made up his mind to delay time and prepare to join the Sanjun Palace, transfer the conflict to the Zhang family and the Sanjun Palace, and the charity cemetery could be successfully taken away.

Although they could attack and kill this person when he isn't paying attention, it would be difficult to deal with the Zhang family behind him.

Zhang Zheng, who was watching secretly, nodded secretly, it was almost done.

Let him take the Sanshi Pill tomorrow.

The Three Corpse Pill can control the life and death of others, but it cannot control their mouths, so it is necessary to test it beforehand.

His divine sense scanned the surroundings again.

When he saw Qingping not far away, he looked shocked.

"This boy... good material, good material. This boy's heart is worth a thousand mortal boys and girls."

Early the next morning.

Zhang Zheng's figure slowly emerged.

Before Xu Yang could think of a good way to speak, he took out a bottle of pills and said, "This is the Three Corpse Pill. After taking it, you will be a direct descendant of the Zhang family. I will do my best to help you ascend to the position of the head of Quhuang Temple."

"Also, give me the girl in the front yard. This boy is worth a thousand boys and girls."

"Shangguan, I have..." Xu Yang's mind was working rapidly, thinking about countermeasures.

This person actually fell in love with Qingping.

Under no circumstances could Qingping be handed over to this person, as he was the founder of the general-minister lineage.

Damn!

Xu Yang wished he could take action immediately.

But he must not take any action now, otherwise he will be caught in a vortex, and the people in the Sanjun County Palace may not accept him.

"Hmph, don't delay. This trip down the mountain is top secret. The Human Heart Grass is extremely important. Even the Zhang family headquarters doesn't know where I am. If you dare to delay again, I don't mind killing you!!"

A sharp and piercing sound came from the bird's beak, and Zhang Zheng seemed a little impatient.

If this person wasn't useful, I would have smashed his head with a palm.

what?
Came out secretly? The Zhang family didn't know?
Hearing the key information, Xu Yang's heart moved.

"Come here secretly? Then why are you so crazy?" His eyes gradually became sharp and his temperament changed drastically.

He is not just a descendant of a wealthy family, but an official appointed by the imperial court.

It's clearly a monster that came from nowhere.

"What?" Zhang Zheng thought he had heard it wrong and was stunned for a moment.

Good timing!!

boom! !
