Chapter 93: Jade Coffin in the Underground Palace, Chives in the Mortal World
After the banquet, Taoist Long came to apologize.
Someone came to congratulate.
Xu Yang looked magnanimous and said that he would let bygones be bygones.
But I secretly kept them all in my heart.
Except for Wugui, a kind-hearted man, everyone else had to go to the morgue.
Maybe some people think that the profit is just a few hundred taels and there is no need to fight and kill, but there is no way, Xu Yang is just like that and holds a grudge.
Return to Yizhuang.
Everyone has cleaned up everything around them, and it's not much different from before.
The only difference is that the population has been greatly reduced.
Fortunately, he had given early warning, and his formation collapsed when Qing Hai Di arrived, so there were not too many casualties. Only many people died in the county and its surrounding areas.
"Taoist Priest!"
"Taoist Priest!"
"The owner of the village!"
People came all the way here, and those they knew, those who looked familiar, and those they didn't know came forward to say hello.
Xu Yang walked straight past, occasionally nodding in response.
They came early or late, have their own families and lives, are not characters revolving around the plot in the story, nor are they emotionless tools.
It’s just that Xu Yang was too lazy to pay attention to them.
He is self-centered and doesn't think about or take anything to heart except his own affairs.
Outside the charity cemetery, the Banyan God controls the Whomping Willow.
Spider webs are hung in hidden corners of the eaves and beams of the buildings in the village, and small red-eyed spiders are monitoring the public areas in the Taoist temple.
backyard.
Qingping was practicing, and wisps of Yin energy were flowing into her body.
This is the only zombie in the Jiangchen system.
Above the black-eyed zombies are the white-eyed zombies, and after the white-eyed zombies are the green-eyed zombies.
The green-eyed zombie should be at the foundation-building stage.
Qingping seemed to sense Xu Yang's arrival and opened her eyes. Her gray pupils became even purer.
"Master."
"What's the situation?" Xu Yang asked curiously.
"Not even a little bit left, Master. I need more refined Yin energy from the underworld."
"This is easy. You can practice in the Lingtian Land God Temple in the future."
According to the rules of the general-minister system, a zombie bites ten followers, one level lower than itself. Qingping breaks through again, and should be at the foundation-building level, and can bite out ten zombies with true Qi strength.
The zombie with true Qi power bites ten black-eyed zombie followers.
In Xu Yang's plan for the Corpse Dynasty, the zombie generals belong to the backbone of the dynasty.
Currently, most ordinary zombies are made from generals' zombies.
After Qingping is promoted to the next level, he should be able to refine a crude Taiyin zombie.
Xu Yang added again: "The old land god is in the underworld. He can bring you Taiyin Qi, but the amount of Taiyin Qi is relatively small. It is better to rely on the real spiritual field. When your master is upgraded, it will be easier for you to break through."
"Master will teach you the magic of the North Pole Wisdom Sword. You can also use this method to absorb the energy of the moon on your own."
"Thank you Master!"
Qingping still looks like a child, but her personality has matured a lot, and now she is a capable housekeeper.
Xu Yang returned to the secret room where he practiced.
He took out Qinghaidi's Three Bodies Vajra Dharma and read it carefully.
To practice the Three Body Method, one needs to have a very thorough understanding of the human body.
This is also one of the reasons why the barbarian Buddha is so cruel.
Xu Yang didn't care about this. No one knew the human body better than himself.
The second is to perform some kind of ceremony to provide the nutrients that stitch the body together.
This involves the sacrifice of human liver, human blood, and human heads, using the body's life energy to provide what the body needs.
This is a good idea.
"But what I'm refining is a zombie, which belongs to the category of corpses. Should I use other energies?"
The corpse needs Yin Qi, an extremely high concentration of Yin Qi. According to this method, the higher the Yin Qi, the better, and it cannot leak out and must be sealed at all times. Otherwise, the three heads will not be coordinated and will just be forced together, which will not be enough to form combat effectiveness.
"Exchange for a fine coffin?"
Xu Yang came up with an idea.
When one reaches a high level of cultivation, in addition to the quality of the zombie itself, one also needs to seek external objects.
For example, taller coffins, superior cinnabar, superior formations, talismans, and other miscellaneous materials.
Improve the success rate from this aspect.
If you want to refine a powerful zombie, you still have to spend money, a lot of money.
I was just about to open the French version to see if there was any information.
Suddenly a subordinate came to report.
"The incense burner Taoist priest is here!"
"Wait in the hall. I'll be there soon."
main hall.
Zhao Xianglu was dressed in casual clothes, without any makeup, and looked around, like the daughter of a scholarly family.
There is a light woody scent on her body, like the sandalwood in a temple.
Seeing Xu Yang coming over, Zhao Xianglu got straight to the point and said, "Daoyou, I want the Taiyin Qi..."
"At this……"
Xu Yang spread out his palm, and a green light condensed in his palm. The green light kept moving like a swimming fish, as if trying to escape from his palm and regain freedom.
This ability to control Yin energy caused the shadow of the statue behind Zhao Xianglu to fluctuate.
Zhao Xianglu was secretly shocked. He hadn't noticed it before, but now it seems that it is indeed the Taiyin body.
It seems that I will have to do more business with this person in the future.
"Fifty taels for one strand. There are probably ten strands here." Xu Yang said.
"Okay." Zhao Xianglu was straightforward. "Fellow Daoist Xianglu, I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Xianglu was alert, thinking that he was being asked why he used Taiyin Qi to practice.
"Is there any better coffin in the Sanjun County Palace, made of materials like cinnabar, lead and mercury?"
"Coffins... our General Yin's lineage does have quite a few good coffins, and your Special Hermit has quite a few too."
General Yin, Special Hermit, and Xiong Shanjun represent ghosts, corpses, and monsters respectively.
The first two have a large number of coffins.
"As for coffins, I have two recommendations. One is the Yellow River Cypress Coffin. This coffin has the essence of ancient cypress, which can lock in the Yin energy and strengthen the corpse. The other is the Underground Palace Jade Coffin. This coffin originated from the ancient times before the collapse of the Heavenly Palace. The nobles ordered people to build this coffin in order to achieve immortality after death."
"This coffin is completely sealed from the outside world. The jade coffin spontaneously absorbs Yin energy and can repair the corpse."
When Xu Yang heard about the second type of coffin, he was moved.
"Can this kind of coffin really bring eternal life after death?"
"Of course not. It's just an excuse used by ancient sorcerers to deceive the king. Once this jade coffin is used, it will only create another living corpse."
"How much is a jade coffin in the underground palace?"
"Five hundred merits per set."
Xu Yang couldn't help but gasp.
The ritual implements are indeed expensive; after all, they are not disposable items.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and took down three sets, which consumed a total of 1,500 merits. Finally, he spent another 500 merits to exchange for higher-level materials.
A total of two thousand merits were spent, which was enough for me to use for a while.
"The goods will be delivered in a few days. If there is anything else, I will leave first."
"Walk slowly."
Xu Yang remained motionless, thinking for a long time.
Put other things aside for now and complete the construction of the Taoist temple first, otherwise it will cost a lot of effort in the future.
Quhuang County.
After the war, the streets regained some of their bustle.
The people were afraid, but life had to go on. They would be hungry if they didn't eat for a day, so all industries had to return to normal.
Xu Yang was wearing a conical hat and was followed by two attendants dressed as men - Qingping and Ruyi.
The ground under my feet was hard soil. Perhaps because it had just rained, the soil had softened and some mud stuck to my shoes.
The ditches on both sides of the road were clogged with all kinds of garbage, and the sewage was covered with colorful moss. An old woman selling fruits and vegetables nearby secretly used the sewage to wash vegetables.
The air was filled with all kinds of strange smells.
Dirty and messy...
This is Xu Yang’s impression of this place.
In the entire county, only the wealthy areas and the official markets near the government offices have bluestone roads, which make the town appear slightly cleaner.
Eighty percent of the residents live in this kind of environment.
"Fuck you!"
boom!
A curse was heard not far away.
Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw a hoodlum kicking over the old man's stall.
"Where did you come from, old man? Don't you know the rules? If you come here to set up a stall, you must pay a monthly fee. I'll teach you a lesson this time, but I'll break your legs next time!"
The old man remained silent and did not dare to retort, for fear of arousing the anger of the hooligans.
"You..." Qingping was about to teach this man a lesson, but was stopped by Xu Yang.
"Ruffians are like cockroaches in a house, insects that live in damp, dark places. If you kill one, there will always be another."
"Walk!!"
The gangster looked at the three men's backs as they left and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This line of work requires good eyesight, and you must be able to distinguish who to bully and who to treat like a dog. Judging from the looks and clothes of the three men, they are definitely not ordinary people, so they naturally try to avoid such unidentified guys.
Next, Xu Yang and his two companions toured the county, understanding the people's sentiments while surveying the location of the Taoist temple.
This world has one advantage, that is, the high-yield crops transformed by various monks make famine extremely rare, and even if it does occur, the scale will not be too large.
However, the monks' management of mortals is relatively loose, almost letting them do whatever they want, and sometimes there is not even any corvee labor.
As for power, if the monks do not take the initiative to seize it, others will naturally not let it go.
Xu Yang and others went around the entire county.
I found that the underground organization here has become rampant.
Vegetable tyrants, water tyrants, dung tyrants, labor tyrants, market tyrants, brothels, human trafficking, and any place where there is money to be made, there are underground organizations parasitic on them. These organizations have close ties with high-ranking officials and some even involve monks and their families.
As the saying goes, if one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. Even if one person cannot achieve success, at least the family can live a good life.
This is the place, and it is one of the reasons for the chaos in this world.
When the granaries are full, one knows etiquette; when one has enough food and clothing, one knows honor and disgrace.
In this place, there are plenty of ways to seize the interests of others.
"These people must be killed." Xu Yang said to the two, "Wait until the Taoist temple moves here, and then catch them all in one fell swoop."
It’s not that Xu Yang suddenly had a change of heart. He usually treated the people as leeks and used some benefits to exchange blood from time to time.
The things you give may be considered worth more than the money in the eyes of others, so you are often regarded as a kind person.
In essence, it is still cutting leeks.
But you can only reap the leeks yourself.
If others get involved, they will only be courting death.
Moreover, by cracking down on these local tyrants and bullies, we can also take the opportunity to promote the land temple.
"Let's set the Taoist temple in the west of the city. There are many people here."
Xu Yang pointed at the muddy ground in front of him.
The group came to Huangya Temple again.
The dilapidated Huangya Temple no longer has its former glory.
"Dao boy, please inform Daoist Rufeng."
main hall.
Rufeng's eyes seemed to be breathing fire.
Xu Yang smiled gently and said, "Fellow Taoist, you have occupied my Taoist temple, why don't you move out?"
