Chapter 209: The Ghost Stonemason's Inheritance

"According to the intelligence gathered by other corpse collectors, the northern provinces have now basically united."

"The Barbarian army's momentum, which was originally sweeping everything before it, has been blocked, so they have stopped their southward advance and turned to digesting the provinces they have already occupied?"

The location of Wind Thunder Mountain is quite remote; it is situated in the northwest of Yun Province and is not connected to other provinces.

In essence, Wind Thunder Mountain is now effectively surrounded by the Barbarians, but due to the mountainous terrain, the main force of the Barbarian army has not yet expanded to this area.

However, as the Barbarians gradually occupy other parts of Yun Province, they will sooner or later notice this thorn in their side... and when that time comes, there will certainly be a hard battle to fight.

"To be on the safe side, it's better to give the corpse-collecting paper dolls two more Black Jade Dark Gold Talismans. If the Barbarian army dares to come again, we can harvest a wave while we're at it!"

Having figured out the current predicament of Wind Thunder Mountain, Lin Feng directly took out two Black Jade Dark Gold Talismans and passed them to the corpse-collecting paper dolls through the Ghost Domain.

"There must be Sages behind the northern provinces as well; otherwise, how could they have resisted the Barbarian invasion?"

Compared to others, because Lin Feng possesses corpse-collecting paper dolls scattered across every province, he sees the situation of the entire Great Xia more clearly.

"Now, those Sages who have been living in seclusion should also be starting to take action..."

Through the situation in various places, Lin Feng has more or less guessed some of the truth, but what others want to do has no great relation to him.

For him, doing his own things well is the most important; isn't it better to develop peacefully and constantly accumulate strength?

Fighting for the world, establishing a dynasty, or becoming a hegemon is simply too much trouble.

After shaking his head, Lin Feng continued to focus his mind on the inheritance classic in his hands.

"I didn't expect this Ghost Stonemason's inheritance to have so many uses!"

Lin Feng obtained three types of inheritances belonging to the Thousand Craftsmen from Li Yanbing. Among them, the Ghost Beast Master's inheritance has basically been thoroughly mastered by him; he is just waiting to tame more ghost beasts later.

The other two inheritances are those of the Ghost Stonemason and the Leatherworker. Among them, the Ghost Stonemason's inheritance has the greatest reputation and is the most widely applied.

One of the most special examples is the ghost prisons located beneath the Ghost Suppression Offices in various cities; the construction of these ghost prisons is inseparable from the Ghost Stonemason's craft!

Besides this, many seemingly inconspicuous places are also inseparable from the Ghost Stonemason, such as the Ghost Suppression Office's cemetery, and even the graveyard where Lin Feng is located is related to this inheritance.

"To use this method, the numbers of stone materials, manpower, and ghosts required are terrifying; it is of no use at all for ordinary factions to obtain it."

"But for me, it is perfectly suitable. Using this inheritance, I can completely build various ghost-suppressing structures, set up offensive and defensive arrays, and even build cities in the Yinjian!"

"If I build Ghost Suppression Towers in places like mines and military camps, the safety of these areas will be greatly improved. If the materials are sufficient, perhaps I could even build a Four-Pole Ghost Suppression City!"

"With such a city in the Yinjian, even if a Disaster Ghost approaches, it will be subjected to immense suppression!"

In addition to some buildings Lin Feng had heard of before, the Ghost Stonemason's inheritance records many special creations, among which the Ghost Suppression Tower and the Four-Pole Ghost Suppression City are relatively typical special structures.

Besides buildings, the Ghost Stonemason also has a special means of constructing divine statues, which can seal ghosts within stone statues and then use these statues as array eyes to operate certain formations.

This is of great use for military formations or defense; once completed, the entire army will receive a buff.

This is also an important reason why Lin Feng is so impressed by this inheritance; those sages who pioneered these methods were absolutely brilliant.

Only by having a large number of such figures constantly emerging can humanity survive and grow strong in this world filled with Guiyi.

"Let's first try building a Ghost Suppression Tower; if the effect is good, I will continue to build more."

"As for the formation, it requires sealing a ghost into a stone statue, and the materials for making the statue are also quite special. I wonder if black jade will work?"

Soon, Lin Feng made a decision. Anyway, he has plenty of paper dolls in his hands; not using them to do something would simply be a waste.

After making the decision, Lin Feng returned directly to his room and began to have the Shuzhuan Gui draw the structural diagram of the Ghost Suppression Tower to facilitate his future use.

While the Shuzhuan Gui was drawing the blueprints, Lin Feng flipped through another inheritance.

This is exactly the Leatherworker's inheritance, but this inheritance is much inferior compared to the Ghost Stonemason's.

The main purpose of the so-called Leatherworker is to peel the skin off a ghost completely and use the ghost skin to make some special things.

For example, the "Eight Desolations Ghost-Startling Drum," often used in the army to stimulate the fighting spirit of soldiers and drive away ghosts, is made through this means.

Besides making war drums, ghost skin can also be made into clothing. After ordinary people wear it, they can briefly master a certain degree of ghost power.

However, as long as the time is long enough, the person wearing the ghost skin clothing will gradually be swallowed and fused by this piece of clothing, eventually turning completely into a new ghost.

Lin Feng does not value this inheritance highly. Unless he encounters a ghost suitable for making war drums, he probably won't use this inheritance.

Inside the Yinjian military camp, Lu Daoguang and the others have already returned here.

However, Lu Daoguang is not resting at this time; instead, he has invited several paper doll generals to interrogate the still-living Underworld Pottery Craftsman inside the Underworld Pottery Coffin.

"Old man, I advise you not to be ungrateful!"

"Do you see the generals beside me? If you make them unhappy, they will smash your coffin directly!"

"Don't think I don't know; if you lose this coffin, you will definitely be finished because of the loss of control over your ghost power!"

At this time, the Underworld Pottery Coffin is completely wrapped in a layer of white bones, and the paper doll generals are standing right next to the coffin. If the guy inside the coffin dares to move recklessly, these paper doll generals will immediately take action.

"...... Young man, whose family are you from?"

Hearing Lu Daoguang's words, the person inside the Underworld Pottery Coffin was silent for a long time before finally speaking.

"Hehe, what does it matter whose family I'm from? Don't try to pull rank on me!"

"Hurry up and tell me the method of making Underworld pottery. If you perform well, maybe that great lord will spare you!"

"As for you wanting to escape, or wanting to take action, or using lies to deceive me, once you've arrived in this military camp, it's not up to you!"

However, Lu Daoguang did not buy his words at all. Now he has a great backer behind him, and he is not afraid at all of this old undead who can't even beat the paper doll generals!

"You, you... bullying people too much, really bullying people too much! I was sleeping peacefully in the graveyard, when did I ever provoke trouble?"

"You destroyed my funerary pottery figurines, ruined my Yin residence, dug up my coffin, and now you are still being so disrespectful; this is really bullying people too much!"

However, the person inside the Underworld Pottery Coffin was so angry that the coffin shook for a while; this guy looked like he couldn't wait to jump out.

"Bah! So what if I bully you!"

"I don't know how many insidious things you did to build that broken place of yours!"

"Hurry up and confess clearly, otherwise the weapons in the hands of the generals beside me are not as easy to talk to as my mouth!"

But Lu Daoguang didn't care about his anger at all; he directly slapped the Underworld Pottery Coffin hard and then sternly threatened the other party. ===== CHAPTER 210 =====
