Chapter 175 Corpses everywhere
Lu Xiaotian felt unlucky all the way while flying with his sword. It was a smooth journey from Lingxiao Palace to Wangyue City, without wind or waves, but before leaving Wangyue City, he was first attacked by the Ancient Sword Sect. The revenge seeker followed from behind, and then met these disciples of the Qianzhu Sect. If the other party hadn't been separated, I'm afraid his situation would be even worse now. Let's run away for a while. If these two guys really insist on fighting each other all the way, and sometimes jump over the wall in a hurry, they may have to turn around and fight with each other later. Bah, bah, it should be said that they are forced to a dead end. The words "dog anxious to jump over the wall" are not very appropriate when applied to myself.
It seems that they really should have stayed in Wangyue City, or waited until Tian Jing and Song Hu had taken care of the trivial matters before acting together, otherwise they would not have fallen into a situation of fighting alone at this time.
What disappointed Lu Xiaotian was that the two people from the Qianzhu Cult behind him didn't seem to give up. Fortunately, the speed of the two men's pursuit was not faster than him.
"Senior Brother Yue, what should I do? This kid is not slow, and we are not good at speed. I am afraid we won't be able to catch up if this continues." Niu Jingtai stepped on a flying sword with a look of anxiety on his face .
"It's a pity that my Thunder Eagle puppet was injured by the guy from Xutianmen, otherwise it would only take a moment to catch up with this guy. This guy is not weak, even Junior Brother Tao fell into his hands, and he only had time to escape. The two of us must work together to be sure of victory. It is related to the secret teaching of Qianzhu Sect. No matter what, we have to pursue him. The position of leader is now vacant, and the master is competing with Deputy Leader Bai for the position of leader. If the two of us can catch this person, the master will take the position of leader, and we are afraid that we will be missing. Is there any benefit?" Yue Song gritted his teeth first, and then analyzed the key points.
"It's a pity that only three of our senior brothers arrived at Wangyue City this time." Niu Jingtai said angrily, "We can't catch up with each other like this."
"If others come too. Now, can we all take the credit?" Yue Song rolled his eyes, "This guy is only one person, and his endurance is limited. Come up to my sword first, and let me fly with the sword, while you close your eyes and rest your mind. We take turns to be responsible for the pursuit. Even if this kid has more spiritual stones to replenish, the sword's consumption of spiritual consciousness will not be replenished at all. I I don’t believe he can keep flying like this with his sword.”
Niu Jingtai’s eyes suddenly lit up, this is actually a good idea. The two of them can take turns to rest, but the other party has no time to rest.
Although there is one more person on Yue Songfei's sword, the weight of more than one hundred kilograms does not have much impact on the foundation-building monk. He can still bite Lu Xiaotian's tail and catch up all the way.
However, as the pursuit lasted longer, the faces of Yue Song and Niu Jingtai became more and more ugly. They had rotated several times, but Lu Xiaotian, who was flying with the sword in front, was never even half a minute slower. The two couldn't help but look at each other. They had been flying with their swords for too long, and their consciousnesses would become extremely tired, so they had to take turns to rest. How powerful is Lu Xiaotian Yuanshen on the opposite side to be able to do this?
"If this person is a disciple of Qianzhu Cult, his strength may be able to defeat any monk of the same level. It is not unfair at all for Junior Brother Tao to fall into his hands." Niu Jingtai said with a gloomy face.
"Even if the soul is several times that of a monk of the same level, there is a limit. I don't believe he can continue to consume us." Yue Song gritted his teeth and continued to insist.
Lu Xiaotian’s spiritual consciousness is naturally not as strong as that of monks of the same level. Even if it is several times stronger, it is impossible for him to persist for such a long time. It’s just that he happens to have practiced the extremely rare spiritual consciousness of splitting the mystery. After the skill is divided into the main and auxiliary souls, you can alternately control the flying sword and take turns to rest. Otherwise, you would have to stop due to excessive consumption of spiritual consciousness.
It's just that these two dog-skin plasters are quite annoying and can't be shaken off. It seems that if it doesn't work, they can only make a turn and fly back to Wangyue City, otherwise it won't be a problem to keep escaping like this.
Just like this, he flew thousands of miles in one breath. Just as Lu Xiaotian was thinking about this, suddenly a gloomy evil aura from below rushed straight into Yunxiao. When did the secular country have such a ghostly and gloomy place?
Lu Xiaotian was startled. He controlled the earth-shattering knife to descend, and found that there was a barren land everywhere below. Villages were still burned by flames. There were corpses everywhere, broken limbs, and broken walls. Only bare bones were exposed on the ground. There are hundreds of thousands of corpses at a glance. There are civilians and secular soldiers. Look at the corpses of war horses everywhere below, the rusty swords, guns, swords and halberds everywhere, as well as the broken military flags. It seems that this is where the secular kingdoms fought fierce battles.
Flying for hundreds of miles again, on top of several steep mountains and steep passes, the piles of corpses under the city wall were almost as high as the top of the city. In the large plain city closer to Xiongguan, he saw hundreds of thousands of civilians lying dead everywhere. They must have been massacred by the victorious side.
Half an hour later, the city head and Xiongguan covered with corpses under the city wall unexpectedly appeared in front of us again. Lu Xiaotian's eyes suddenly became solemn. He had been flying forward just now, but he came back again. This can only show a harsh fact. He has lost his way. In a secular country, it is not a good thing for a foundation-building monk to lose his way. Very strange thing.
Just when he was surprised, several corpses seemed to move a few times on the top of the city of Xiongguan. Could it be that they were fake corpses? Or maybe there were people who survived. Lu Xiaotian took another look and saw several gloomy white bones crawling out of the corpse mountain, and from the mortal corpses, a little green corpse fire emerged and flew towards the dense forest near Xiongguan.
Lu Xiaotian used his spiritual eye technique to take a quick look and saw two guys in black robes in the dense forest, each holding a blue vial in his left hand. The green corpse fire emerging from the corpse seemed to be drawn by some kind of force, and kept flowing. Fly towards the blue vial. The few skeletons crawling out of the pile of corpses also followed one step at a time, arriving behind the two men in black robes, and gathered together with the dozens of skeletons behind them.
This battlefield is so vast that it is not surprising that there are some ghost cultivators. I just don’t know whether this kind of war is for secular countries to compete for territory, or is it promoted by ghost cultivators with ulterior motives? Lu Xiaotian felt a chill in his heart. He had seen some relevant records in the biographies of some previous monks in Lingxiao Palace. The stronger the corpse aura and the more dead people, the more ghost cultivators liked it. It's just that the places where ghost cultivators appear symbolize death and disaster, so they are often hostile to other sects. It is difficult to survive in the world of Wangyue Cultivation. There are only some dead areas, which are the world of ghost cultivators. This place is already like a small dead area.
However, the ghost method has always existed in the world of immortality. Some monks whose bodies were destroyed or who were unwilling to lose their souls and turned to the road of reincarnation turned to ghost method. Therefore, although the Mochizuki Immortal Realm is hostile to it, it cannot ban it.
Within a thousand miles of the secular country, there were fires everywhere and corpses everywhere, gradually transforming into a land full of death. Even he, a foundation-building monk, was shocked in his heart. The death energy in this place was so strong that it was extremely difficult for even him to feel the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the air, and his senses were greatly affected. It is not uncommon for powerful ghosts to appear. Although Lu Xiaotian had the intention to return to Wangyue City, he broke into this place without being familiar with it and was affected by the death energy of this place. He lost his direction for a while. Before he found a way out, he was afraid that he would temporarily Can't leave either.
However, this complex terrain did provide him with a certain amount of cover, which could cover up the mana fluctuations caused by the flight of his sword. The first priority is to get rid of the two Qianzhu Cult people behind him. Lu Xiaotian thought for a moment, then landed on the ground, escaped into the hidden mountain forest under the majestic pass below, and sneaked into a place covered by rocks to minimize the fluctuations in his mana.
"Hey, where did that guy go?" Yue Song and Niu Jingtai landed from the sky. They chased them all the way. It was not that they always saw Lu Xiaotian's background. In fact, when they took a break, Lu Xiaotian could often Take advantage of their alternating hands to run out for a while. It's just that when each monk activates his magic weapon, the mana fluctuations caused are different. The two of them could follow this wave and fall behind Lu Xiaotian not far or close. But after entering here, the originally not too strong mana fluctuations were quickly overwhelmed by the death energy here, just like the rain washed away the footprints of pedestrians on the road.
Yue Song and Niu Jingtai used their spiritual eyes skills respectively, and also saw two ghost cultivators in the dense forest and dozens of skeletons behind them.
"No, Foundation Establishment Monk, go and inform the master." The ghost cultivators in the dense forest discovered Yue Song and Niu Jingtai almost at the same time. They were leading dozens of skeletons towards the rugged terrain with extremely flustered expressions. Flee to the deep mountain pass. Lest the two of them catch up.
But Yue Song and Niu Jingtai's attention was obviously not on the two ghost cultivators and the skeleton. Yue Song just snorted coldly, and began to search left and right. Although this place was strange, the two foundation-building monks were not afraid of two ordinary ghost cultivators.
This dead zone is not completely useless. At least the two guys from Qianzhu Cult are temporarily freed. Lu Xiaotian is temporarily relieved. Staying in this place makes him feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, he was already used to taking pills to practice and replenish his spiritual power. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will be even more unaccustomed to it.
Lu Xiaotian thought that if he went out now, he might bump into those two guys again. Moreover, the dead area created after the war was so vast that the cultivating sects above did not know anything about it and were still rushing in. When the foundation-building monks from various sects went out to practice, they didn't see monks from other sects coming, so Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel strange. Perhaps the foundation-building monk in charge of the inspection went on a tour elsewhere and did not inspect the area normally. Maybe he was trapped here like him.
For making iron, you need to be strong yourself. No matter what, it is better to temporarily improve your strength first. Lu Xiaotian always remembers the bronze puppet he just got, whose ability is equal to his.
"Puppet Mechanism Technique" and "Ming Shen Jue"
"Puppet Mechanism Technique" introduces some methods of making and controlling puppets. Some with strong spiritual consciousness can control two machine beasts at the same time to fight flexibly, which can indeed give them a lot of advantages against other monks of the same level.
"Ming Shen Jue" strengthens spiritual consciousness. There are exercises from the Qi refining stage to the Golden elixir stage, which is quite complete. Lu Xiaotian deliberately searched for similar techniques in the library hall of Lingxiao Palace, and basically only those who had practiced them to the foundation building stage. It seems that the Qianzhu Sect, a sect that focuses on spiritual consciousness techniques, is indeed more complete in spiritual consciousness techniques than other sects.
In addition, there are several parts on the bronze puppet. Once the bronze puppet is damaged, it can be repaired in time. In addition, there are some materials for refining puppets, hundreds of mid-grade spiritual stones and several high-grade spiritual stones, as well as some elixirs for training and healing.
The refining technique of this puppet can be refined until it is equivalent to a puppet in the late stage of foundation building. The above introduces the refining materials for several puppets used by Zhu Qi. Hemlock wood that is more than 500 years old, or cold iron wood, which is a very hard spiritual wood. If he is willing, he can even use spiritual stones to ripen it to a thousand years old. .
However, the refining of a puppet cannot be completed in one or two days, and it may not take three or two years to improve the skill by studying it. This matter of refining puppets can be left to Wangyue City or the workshops in Lingxiao Palace that are good at refining weapons. As long as he learns some relatively simple repair techniques, he can occasionally replace parts, and then become proficient in refining puppets. It is easy to operate and can be used directly in combat. Therefore, what is really useful is the puppet control technique in "Puppet Mechanism Technique", and "Ming Shen Jue", a technique that can strengthen spiritual consciousness.
"Ming Shen Jue" is divided into nine levels, and the first to third levels are the exercises in the Qi refining period. With Lu Xiaotian's current skills, it is relatively easy to practice. It only took more than ten days to cultivate to the second level. Although I didn't feel that my spiritual consciousness was much stronger than before, it was obviously a bit more condensed. Especially the deputy soul, which is slightly weaker than the main soul, has benefited a lot.
"Gah, I didn't expect that there would be such a dead zone in the Wangyue Immortal Realm. Although it is not as good as the Immortal Cultivators, these mortals are better in numbers, so they are of some use." Just when Lu Xiaotian was practicing the Mingshen Jue and became familiar with the puppet operation method, a The blood shadow flashed in the air, and the afterimage of a skeleton faintly appeared in the blood shadow. Although the speed was not too fast, its whereabouts were erratic and very strange.
At this time, in a ruined temple in the mountains a hundred miles away from the mountain pass, there was an old man in black with deeply sunken eyes, a skinny face, and a ghost-like appearance. His five fingers were as thin as dead branches. At this moment, the old man in black spread his hands, and a ball of green fire rolled past the pile of corpses in front of him, turning hundreds of corpses into ashes.
“My Yin Corpse-Devouring Fire is finally ready.” The old man with sunken eyes let out an extremely unpleasant laugh.
"Master, Master, it's not good!" A moment later, a man in black robe looked panicked and stumbled away with blood dripping from his chest.
"What's the matter? You're injured? Where is my second apprentice?" The old man Ge Changting's sunken eyes exuded a penetrating green light.
"Two foundation-building monks broke into this place. The second and second junior brothers were unable to escape and were killed by them." The man in black robe stammered.
"Oh? Really." When Ge Changting heard the news of his second disciple's death, he didn't show any emotion at all. He murmured a few words in a low voice, "Two foundation-building monks, even this incompetent one The eldest disciple can escape, so he must not be very clever. It is just used to sacrifice my Yinsha Corpse Fire. This dead realm is not good for me. It is of some use. If those Immortal Sects come after hearing the news, it will be a troublesome matter. Killing these two foundation-building monks first will take as long as it takes."
After saying that, Ge Changting rolled up his sleeves. , rolled up the man in black robe, and then raised his hands, the whole person was already flying into the air, flying in the direction mentioned by the man in black robe.
