Chapter 34: Chang You Soldiers

Two fellow practitioners, one had a good head fall to the ground, and the other had all the bones in his body scattered.

Xu Qing was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see others separated into two parts, so he put the head back on the headless Li Shuangxi, and then roughly stitched it with a large needle for sewing sacks, which was considered finished.

After all, he was still counting on the Sutra of Saving People to live his days. If there was no head or head, how could he "liberate" him?

After the corpse was processed, the familiar scripture sounded again—

"The human way is vast, the immortal way is reckless.

The ghost way is happy, when people are born.

The immortal way values life, the ghost way values the end.

The immortal way is always auspicious, the ghost way is always ominous..."

The scripture was broadcast to here, and it began to repeat constantly. Xu Qing frowned, as if he was stressed, and immediately leaned back.

He remembered clearly that the first time he encountered a corpse-fraud, this scripture sounded in his mind.

Now that he heard it again, how could he not be prepared.

Putting on the finger tiger, his eyes were tightly locked on Li Shuangxi.

Sure enough, when the Sutra of Saving People kept stuttering and repeating the sentence "The ghost way is always ominous," the corpse in the courtyard that had just been stitched up suddenly took a long breath, sat up straight, and even his chest cavity swelled into a fish bubble.

Thanks to Xu Qing being a zombie, if he were a living person who breathed, I'm afraid that if he took this breath, he would be sucked dry of essence and completely turned into a shriveled cold corpse!

Looking at the resentful corpse that turned its head and sucked at him fiercely, Xu Qing was full of disdain, not afraid at all!

You didn't fight for breath when you were alive, you died in the hands of the master, and now that you are dead thoroughly, you still want to fight for this breath?

You say, where does it get the confidence?

The night mist was heavy, Xu Qing waved the diamond finger tiger with cold light, and taught the ghost to be a dead person again.

"The immortal way is always auspicious, the ghost way is always ominous. High and clear spirits, sad songs ring through space..."

Putting away the iron fist, the stuttering chanting sound returned to normal, and the Sutra of Saving People began to turn pages.

Li Shuangxi's life had nothing to praise. His biggest highlight was probably the corpse-fraud just now, but unfortunately, it hadn't fully lit up before it was pinched out by Xu Qing.

The Sutra of Saving People also felt shabby, gave a human-grade middle-grade evaluation, and rewarded a bag of corpse-driving craftsman's common odor-removing powder, as well as two forget-me-not pills.

Applying odor-removing powder externally can eliminate any scent, including the corpse-stench that corpse-drivers long-term contact with the dead leaves behind.

Taking it internally can temporarily block the sense of taste according to the dosage, making people not know sour, sweet, bitter, or salty.

After Xu Qing learned the use, he only felt it was chicken ribs. Who would be idle and have nothing to do to block the sense of taste? Maybe removing the odor could be used.

However, he didn't expect that there would be more chicken ribs later.

Forget-me-not pill—a pill that can make people forget their past and present lives and be a new person, valid for three days.

Three-day big silly spring experience card?

Xu Qing felt that these two things could be sent to the warehouse together with the wine worm and cooling powder obtained before.

After "liberating" Li Shuangxi, he also searched the other party's body.

Harvested several silver notes, a Dao soldier corpse talisman, and a wanted order from the Shu region.

Xu Qing took a look. There were two people drawn on it, Shi Jiulu and Qiu Ping were on the list, but Li Shuangxi's big head portrait was missing.

Your sense of existence is low enough, even the wanted order thinks you are shabby!

Xu Qing pondered a little and roughly guessed the reason why Li Shuangxi kept this wanted order.

Eight out of ten, he was waiting for the day when his tracks were exposed and he was captured by the soldiers, so he could take out this wanted order to clear his suspicion.

After all, there were only Shi Jiulu and Qiu Ping's portraits and names on it, but not his Li Shuangxi's!

After "liberating" the extremely low-presence Li Shuangxi, Xu Qing came to Qiu Ping, whose bones were scattered.

The Sutra of Saving People turned pages slowly. Fortunately, the background sound didn't stutter this time. After successfully "liberating" it, the Sutra of Saving People rewarded a lantern to guide the corpse, a small and exquisite snuff bottle, and a Sutra of Training Corpses that trained dog-headed corpses and cat-faced corpses.

The snuff bottle and the Sutra of Training Corpses were used together.

The function of the snuff bottle is very simple. As long as you open the small lid and bring it to the corpse, the corpse will be like a little puppy that smells the bun, and wherever you go, it will follow, as obedient as it can be.

"Training the dead into cats and dogs to guard the house?" Xu Qing's mind vaguely appeared the image of Constable Zhao Zhonghe wagging his tongue and tail at him.

This thing is good!

It just so happened that he still had a dog-beating stick in his hand, so it came in handy!

The two corpses were "liberated," and the matter wasn't over. After all, the corpse soldiers refined by these two were still hidden in the house!

In the house with dim candlelight, wine was warming on the fire stove. Xu Qing came to the inner room, lifted the white cloth covered in the corner, and two straight corpses without eyes and breath appeared.

To say that these two corpses in front of him were not ordinary people when they were alive, but special arms trained by the Yin family in Nantang.

Because they died on the battlefield and were exposed in the wilderness, they were picked up and refined by Li Shuangxi and others, becoming corpse soldiers.

Xu Qing had little understanding of Dao soldiers before. If it weren't for the soldiers who returned from the frontier battlefield that he "liberated" tonight, he was afraid he wouldn't even know what Dao soldiers were.

Raising his hand to "liberate" the two corpse soldiers, various sights and sounds from the southern border battlefield appeared in the eyes of Xu Qing, who was far away in Linhe.

The Dayong Dynasty seemed to have a "peaceful" scene, but in fact, it was already a collapsed ant dam, just one step away from being destroyed.

Among them, the disaster in the southern border was particularly serious. Since the Nancuo army invaded, the south of Hejing had long fallen into a place where imperial power was not respected and aristocratic families manipulated power.

At this time, only military divine power could hold internal and external, but how much of this military power was still in the hands of Emperor Longping, it was unknown.

After all, whether the old emperor who was already over eighty could hold the Son of Heaven sword in his hand was a problem, so how could you count on him to reorganize military power and pacify internal and external?

Xu Qing read the chaos in various prefectures in the southern border and knew that the Dayong Dynasty was already terminally ill, and it couldn't be cured without someone who could turn the tide.

After reading the life, look at the reward.

The two corpse soldiers with extensive knowledge were both human-grade superior evaluations.

The Sutra of Saving People rewarded the method of raising Chang You soldiers, a Chang flag to command the Chang generals, a sword-avoiding talisman, a disease-removing and epidemic-removing talisman, and a bow-shooting skill of hitting the target from a hundred steps away.

The method of raising Chang You soldiers was similar to the method of raising corpse soldiers, but it wasn't refined with corpse bodies, but by collecting evil spirits, borrowing the evil spirit of the dead soldiers on the battlefield. Every hundred corpses of evil spirits could get a ghost soldier, and a thousand corpses could get a Chang general.

Xu Qing took out the blood-red Chang flag, and his heart moved.

The haunted house he just bought was a top-notch place to gather evil spirits.

According to the method of raising Chang You soldiers, he buried a hundred ordinary corpses in the house, and with the help of the haunted house's characteristics of generating and gathering evil spirits, couldn't he refine a ghost soldier?

If the evil spirit was thick enough, it wasn't impossible for every hundred corpses to condense a Chang general!

Hiss, thinking of this, Xu Qing suddenly had a bold idea.

Zombies have no limit to their life. If he buried corpses for ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years, couldn't he refine and accumulate a Chang army of thousands or even tens of thousands?
