Chapter 333 Details of Volume C, Beirong Demon King
Wu Tianen heard the uncertain meaning in Chen Huaisheng's words and nodded.
Although these evil spirits have existed for thousands of years, they have never entered the mainstream and are in a marginal area. Therefore, not many people practice them, but this does not mean that their The sense of presence is weak.
Because there are so many types, there are too many variations, and the relationships among them are also mixed. Even those who know something about this type can only get a glimpse of it, and it is difficult to see the whole leopard.
Wu Tianen knew that Chen Huaisheng was somewhat interested in things like demons and ghosts when he was investigating the death of Lu Zhaolin. He also asked himself some things, and later spent some time learning and understanding the art of demons and ghosts.
On the contrary, he knew very little about demons and ghosts, so he relied heavily on Chen Huaisheng.
There are about a dozen monks in Huluji, but they are basically in the early stage of Qi training, and only four of them are in the middle stage of Qi training.
The highest one is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and he is over eighty years old, that is, Lai Shuichang's uncle.
The other three are all at the fourth level of Qi Refining, one is very old, and the other two are in their prime, probably around sixty years old.
Wu Tianen still plans to meet the people from Huluji first. After all, they are the landlords and know more about the appearance of the corpse.
Lai Shuichang's uncle Lai Muben met with the two fourth-level Qi Refiners He Shengyuan and Huang Liushi and the group, which also shows the importance they attach to the Chonghua Sect.
Wu Tianen is too lazy to involve too much in the relationship with Fengyi Sect and the Ding family. Since he is here, he will solve the problem first and then talk about other things.
The main character is naturally Chen Huaisheng, Wu Tianen basically doesn't speak, and Sandang Ling acts as Chen Huaisheng's deputy, cooperating with Chen Huaisheng to inquire about the situation.
"..., so to speak, this kind of corpse ghost did not appear in a day or two, or even just appeared at the end of last year. It existed two or three years ago, and it just disappeared and appeared. But at the end of last year It suddenly became more frequent?"
Chen Huaisheng frowned: "Are you sure it's not one corpse, but multiple ghosts?"
"Definitely." It was He Shengyuan who replied, "The corpse that appeared the year before last was very weak and fragile. I encountered it head-on. I used the fire talisman to burn it until it screamed, and I even chopped off one of its arms. , although it ran away later, it never appeared again, and the one that appeared at the beginning of last year was a mother-child ghost..., the skeleton that appeared in Gourd Branch last month only had a skeleton on its body, but Carrion has grown..."
"Carrion has grown?" Chen Huaisheng felt a little complicated.
"Yes, someone has seen with his own eyes that there is no clear boundary between carrion and new meat, it is more like a gradual change..."
He Shengyuan has put a lot of thought into this aspect, intelligence The details are well grasped.
Chen Huaisheng felt a little numb.
According to what the other party said, the corpses that appeared the year before last, the beginning of last year, the end of last year, or even this year were not one or a group at all, but maybe several groups, but there might be some relationship between them.
There are zombies, there are skeletons, there are mutating ghouls, and there may even be intelligence.
If this comes from a group, how big is this group, how did they come to Huluji?
What is the purpose of coming here?
Are there any other factors behind this?
Sandeling's hands were shaking as he took notes.
This was his first time to participate in such an operation. He was excited, a little scared, and a little shocked.
After all, things like corpses, ghosts and ghosts are too far away for him who has been practicing in the mountain gate.
I have heard the elders talk about it before in the mountain gate, but they were all vague and it was more like something from another world.
But now, after following Chen Huaisheng and seeing those corpses today, I feel a little uncomfortable.
Now he heard the other party talking about the skeletons growing carrion and new flesh gradually, which made him even more disgusted.
Min Qingyu, who was sitting behind Chen Huaisheng, was slightly better.
She is not a young lady who never leaves the house. She has also followed the elders of the clan, but this is the first time for such a thing.
Ghosts and corpses have always been the most disgusting evil spirits among spiritual practitioners. They are more feared than monsters, but because they are rare, everyone doesn’t care about them, but now they have to face them head-on.
"Master He, I would like to ask, that skeleton you saw in a gradual state of carrion and new flesh has appeared several times. Was it seen by the same person?" Min Qingyu sat in Chen Huai Asked after birth. He Shengyuan was stunned for a moment and looked at the other party carefully.
A female cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining, but she is very young, but her accent sounds like she is from Yanzhou, no, she is from Fuyang.
Could it be that the disciples from Hebei recruited by the Chonghua Sect have advanced to the third level of Qi Refining in just one year? Or has the Chonghua Sect begun to recruit disciples who have already refined their qi?
But this is not the time to inquire about this situation. Since someone is asking the question on behalf of the Chonghua faction, he has to answer: "This demon corpse appeared three times, but it was not encountered by one person. A group of people encountered it They have been killed, and the other two groups escaped by chance..."
"We would like to inquire carefully if you can invite these two groups to come." Min Qingyu whispered a few words behind Chen Huaisheng, Chen Huaisheng. He nodded.
Huluji had nothing to do here and quickly called people over.
After some inquiries, the people from the Chonghua faction knew what was going on.
The skeleton I saw for the first time only had carrion on the waist and ribs. The condition of the second time was unknown. The skeleton I saw for the third time had carrion and new meat on the ribs, thighs and arms. .
What’s more important is that the original skeleton had a bare helmet and no tassel on top of it, but when it appeared for the third time, it was already covered in armor, and several spears had been inserted into it. Pheasant feathers.
Although it is just a very simple leaf beetle with a few extra pheasant feathers and it looks tattered, this change makes people shudder.
Everyone looked confused, including Wu Tianen, who still didn't quite understand.
Chen Huaisheng also knew that it was difficult for ordinary people to understand it, so he sighed and explained: "I'm afraid this is not an ordinary demon corpse. Now it is difficult for us to judge what kind of combination it is, but It is certain that there are both demon corpses and zombies here. Even the demon corpses or zombies have some intelligence. What is even more dangerous is that they are still in a period of rapid growth. "
Intelligence? Rapid growth period?
Seeing everyone's confusion, Chen Huaisheng pondered for a moment and said: "The gradual change of rotten flesh and new flesh on the skeleton is a clear proof. It is constantly absorbing and digesting the spiritual energy from the outside world and converting it for its own use. This is also It means that the carrion that everyone sees comes from nothing, from there to more, and then the carrion further gradually turns into new meat. If the new meat is full and all the internal organs are complete,..."
"That is the King of Corpses. ? ” A loud and thick voice came from outside the door.
"Master Qin?!" Wu Tianen and Chen Huaisheng both looked over, and Huluji and the others hurried out to greet him, "Master Qin, Master Ding, are you here?"
"Fellow Taoist Chonghua is here. , I've been looking forward to it for a long time." The man in front was tall and tall, with a dark face and a beard, and his eyes were shining. He was at the fourth level of foundation building and was probably around eighty years old.
The other woman was wearing an embroidered jacket with a white border and a crimson-colored pleated horse-faced skirt. She had a plump figure, a face like a silver basin, eyebrows like spring mountains, big breasts and fat buttocks. The waves of her breasts and buttocks swayed as she walked, making people subconsciously focus on her and ignore the others.
Qin Zhenren should be Qin Shouzhong of Fengyi Sect, and if Master Ding is right, she is Ding Runyao, who is famous for her beauty in Fuyang Dao.
Wu Tianen, Chen Huaisheng, Sandang Ling, and Min Qingyu also stood up. Wu Tianen came out first and calmly handed over his hands: "Chonghua Wu Tianen is polite."
Chen Huaisheng and others also followed suit. "Chonghua Chen Huaisheng (Sang Ling, Min Qingyu) has met Qin Zhenren and Ding Nvshi." Ding Runyao sat down at the invitation, but Ding Runyao looked around and sat down happily.
Several people followed Qin and Ding, and they all took their seats behind them.
"The little brother just now is very insightful. If this skeleton keeps absorbing spiritual energy, it can grow into a corpse king. Unexpectedly, the little brother also discovered this situation. The old man also carefully investigated it yesterday. Realizing this,..."
Seeing Chen Huaisheng hesitate to speak, Qin Shouzhong was quite surprised, "Little brother, what else do you want to say?"
"In my humble opinion, I'm afraid it's not just that simple." After glancing at Wu Tianen, under Wu Tianen's encouraging gaze, Chen Huaisheng said without any politeness: "This monster has a Douyu in the first place. It belongs to the general, which means this I'm afraid the monster was a warrior before he died. I'm not sure whether he was a spiritual cultivator during his lifetime. It depends on its history and where it came from..."
Wu Tianen has something to say Thinking about it, Qin Shouzhong's face changed slightly and his eyes flickered.
“I heard that the area between Fuyang and Zhaigu has always been a battleground for military strategists from ancient times to ancient and medieval times. There have been constant wars. I don’t know how many battles have been fought in this area for thousands of years, and soldiers have died. I don’t know how many, but the famous Battle of Zhuolu, Battle of Banquan, Battle of Hadai, and Battle of Julu were all in this area. When the Beirong invaded Hebei, there were also continuous wars, with no fewer than dozens of battles. ..."
"Almost all the Beirong warriors are martial arts cultivators, which is actually a proxy for our spiritual cultivation. However, their martial arts cultivation and our spiritual cultivation have different emphases. We focus on our own spiritual cultivation. They advocate immortality and heaven, but they emphasize skills rather than realm, and they value weapon cultivation and spells more, or they value combat power more,..."
When Chen Huaisheng said that almost all the Beirong warriors were martial arts cultivators. At that time, everyone realized the problem. If this ghoul was a martial artist before his death, but now he has become a ghoul and is still growing, this will be a bit tricky.
"Little brother, what basis do you have for saying that this monster corpse was transformed by a Beirong general?" Qin Shouzhong asked loudly.
"There are already a few pheasant feathers on the Douyu. From what I heard from the description, they should be the pheasant feathers outside the Great Wall. There seems to be no such thing in Hebei. Except for the Beirong people, it seems that no one has traveled thousands of miles. Would you like to bring this thing to wear on your head?" Chen Huaisheng said with a smile.
