Imperial Palace, under Bai Yujing.
A dusty underground palace is hidden in darkness.
This underground palace seems to be a corner forgotten by time, filled with suffocating silence and gloom.
Originally, this place was used by the Dayu royal family to train the dead warriors Shadow Guards.
Later, it was transformed into a place of practice by Zheng Yi, and the rest of the place was also modified for the practice of Zheng Yi and his many concubines.
Now, Zheng Yi led many concubines to Tianshou Mountain for meditation, and this place was given to Chen Liancang for his cultivation.
Chen Liancang has become the guardian of the Dayu court.
The entire underground palace also became his bedroom.
Only a few important personnel such as the Queen, the Prince of the Supervisory State, and Xu Mujun knew about this matter.
His identity and status are extremely secretive.
Stepping into the underground palace, a damp and decaying atmosphere hit your face.
The walls were covered with dark green moss, and water droplets continuously seeped out from the cracks in the stones and dripped onto the cold ground, making a crisp and strange sound.
The surrounding stone pillars are carved with twisted rune patterns, almost like the patterns of evil spirits. Their eyes seem to be shining with strange light in the darkness, as if they are peering into the soul of every intruder.
In the center of the underground palace is a wide square. At this moment, the square is filled with corpses.
These corpses were not placed randomly, but were arranged in a mysterious and evil formation.
This formation is called the "Nine Nether Blood Evil Formation". According to legend, this formation is guided by blood and based on yin energy. It can gather the most evil forces in the world and provide powerful assistance for the sacrifice of zombies.
At the key nodes of the formation, there are various materials used for sacrificial refining, including black liquid medicine that exudes a pungent smell, mysterious gems that shine with strange light, and magic tools made of white bones.
At this time, Chen Liancang was standing in the center of the square. His face was old, but his expression was cold, and his eyes revealed indifference and ruthlessness.
In front of him were fifty-nine corpses of monks who had just been beheaded, and more than a hundred corpses of monks who died in Tianshou Mountain a few days ago.
Monk!
The bodies of the fifty-nine casual cultivators and family cultivators who were beheaded today are now placed here.
There are even corpses of monks who died on Tianshou Mountain a few days ago!
Among them, there are many people including You Linzi, Hong Niang, Tieguan Taoist, and Snake Toad Brothers.
These monks are all late-stage qi-training monks. Unfortunately, now, they have turned into horrific corpses, being placed here ruthlessly.
At this time, what Chen Liancang has to do is to transform the corpses of these monks into zombies controlled by him!
After all, monks absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to accommodate their bodies for their own cultivation.
Mortals with special conditions, destiny, and even qualifications can become materials for their practice.
And the corpse of the monk himself is the most excellent qualification!
Their bodies can be sacrificed and turned into zombies.
Their souls can be sacrificed and trained into evil spirits.
Even their flesh, bones, hair, skin, etc. can be sacrificed and refined into good magical weapons!
This is also the reason why demonic and evil monks are repeatedly banned.
It's... so easy!
The technique Chen Liancang practiced was the extremely evil "Huangquan Sutra", a high-level technique given to him by Zheng Yi personally more than ten years ago.
Unfortunately, Chen Liancang is old and has mediocre qualifications.
After practicing for more than ten years, he has only reached the third level of Qi training.
On the contrary, it is his godson Chen Hai. Although his qualifications are mediocre, he is better because of his youth. He is now also a third-level Qi practitioner.
Given time, I will be able to break through to the middle stage of Qi training and serve His Majesty.
The "Yellow Spring Sutra" begins with an explanation of the chaotic boundary between life and death, claiming that it can break the rules and control the power of life and death.
The spells recorded in it are numerous and sinister.
For example, the "soul seduction technique" can absorb the enemy's soul from thousands of miles away, causing it to die instantly;
"Poisonous Mist" can release a mist full of poison, corroding the opponent's body and soul;
The "Netherworld Invisibility Method" allows practitioners to hide in the Netherworld, making it difficult for others to detect.
And the method of cultivating zombies is an excellent secret technique in the "Underworld Sutra".
As a member of the royal family, of course he knows how important it is to have some dead soldiers that he can control.
The Shadow Guards trained by mortals were enough before, but now most of the enemies they face are monks, so they are no longer enough.
The zombies, which are not afraid of death and can be controlled by monks like puppets, have become what Chen Liancang values the most.
After informing His Majesty, His Majesty also agreed to this move.
Using the corpse of the dead monk in Tianshou Mountain as a guide, the zombies guarding the Dayu court were then trained!
Most of these monk corpses were monks in the Qi training stage.
There are even nine monks in the late stage of Qi training!
After being refined into zombies, they will all be in the realm of iron zombies.
Invulnerable to weapons, water and fire, and controlled by Chen Liancang like a puppet.
This...
Enough to ensure the safety of Dayu court!
"Godfather~"
A thin-faced little eunuch wearing navy blue eunuch clothes walked in quickly and whispered: "When the time comes, it's almost time."
"Hmm~"
Chen Liancang nodded lightly, took a deep breath, started to form complex hand seals with his hands, and muttered something in his mouth.
As his spell sounded, the Nine Nether Blood Evil Array slowly started to activate. The gems in the array emitted a coquettish light, and the black liquid began to boil, emitting billowing black smoke.
Almost at the same time, the Nine Nether Blood Evil Formation also changed.
Yousen's cold, Yin-attributed spiritual energy rose from the ground and was absorbed by these corpses.
The special materials used to refine the zombies around them also began to be gradually consumed.
This situation lasted for seventy-seven forty-nine days!
During these seventy-seven forty-nine days, Chen Liancang and Chen Hai controlled each other's formations to maintain the operation of the formations and the sacrifice of the zombies.
Logically speaking, it would be difficult for the two monks who were in the early stage of Qi training to complete such a huge project.
However, Zheng Yi could not resist and gave them a large number of spiritual stones and elixirs.
With the support of these spiritual stones and elixirs, the sacrifice was still proceeding in an orderly manner.
As time went by, the corpses of the monks who had just been beheaded were the first to change.
Black mist began to gather at their wounds, and the blood that was originally flowing stopped flowing and was instead sucked back into the body.
Immediately afterwards, their muscles began to tremble, and their skin gradually turned livid. The lost head slowly rose up and reconnected with the neck. The connection shone with strange blood, and the wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The corpses of the monks who died in Tianshou Mountain also changed at a faster speed than the corpses of the beheaded monks.
Their bodies that had begun to decay gradually stopped the process of decay, and their skin became elastic again, only showing a strange blue-black color.
In the empty eye sockets, faint green fire gradually ignited, the teeth became as sharp as wolf fangs, and the nails stretched and became as sharp as knives.
As the sacrifices progressed, the changes in these corpses became more and more obvious.
Their bodies began to become stiff, and their joints made "clicking" sounds, as if in protest against this evil transformation.
But under the control of the formation and Chen Liancang's magic, they could not resist.
Gradually, these corpses stood up one by one.
Their movements were slow and clumsy, but the sinister aura exuding from their bodies was frightening.
Chen Liancang looked at the zombie army that was gradually forming in front of him and nodded imperceptibly.
Seventy-seven forty-nine days later, these zombies can be considered a preliminary success.
The next step is to continue to place it here, nourish and train it with yin energy, and then use essence and blood to practice it.
By then, it will become a zombie army that cannot be ignored!
At this time, Chen Liancang and Chen Hai looked exhausted, but their eyes were very excited.
Especially Chen Hai, he couldn't suppress his excitement and said: "Godfather, have we succeeded?"
"Yes." Chen Liancang nodded slightly and said, "According to the records in the Huangquan Sutra, after seven or forty-nine days of sacrificial practice, if the body does not rot, but is full of yin energy and can walk on its own, then the preliminary sacrificial practice is successful. ”
"The next step is to use the method of blood sacrifice to integrate your own essence and blood, and carve your own mark on it, so that it will recognize its master."
"At that time, the sacrifice will be truly successful."
"It can be commanded by the monk's mind. The mind can move at will, and a zombie can be controlled to do anything with just one thought."
"With so many zombies, my country in Dayu will be as stable as ever, hahaha...cough, cough, cough..."
Just as he was talking, Chen Liancang suddenly coughed violently.
A blush appeared on the originally gray face, which looked very scary.
"Godfather! Godfather, are you okay?"
Chen Hai quickly helped him sit down, patting his back and asking nervously.
"Haier, I'm fine."
With a long sigh of relief, Chen Liancang finally calmed down.
He took out a pill from his storage bag, raised his head and swallowed it. The chaotic spiritual energy fluctuations in his body gradually calmed down.
"That day, a group of monks attacked Tianshou Mountain, and some monks took the opportunity to rob the palace."
"Our family was also injured by a Sanxiu cultivator that day."
"Fortunately, General Xu Mujun was guarding the palace, so the palace was safe and sound."
Chen Hai asked nervously: "Then godfather, you..."
"Don't worry, you won't die!"
Chen Liancang's pupils were dull and he said quietly: "My old friend is still alive, how could our family leave so easily~"
"Xiao Haizi~"
"Godfather, I'm here."
"These zombies are trained by you."
"What!"
Chen Hai said in surprise: "Godfather! How is this possible? These zombies are you..."
"Nothing to worry about."
Chen Liancang grabbed his wrist and said: "Your temperament is seen by our family and His Majesty. You are loyal and honest, and you are also loyal to Your Majesty."
"On that day, His Majesty asked our family to accept you as his son. Seeing your loyalty, you followed our family to practice the "Huangquan Sutra" and you are also the person who passed it on to our family."
"A hundred years from now, you will be the guardian ancestor of Dayu Palace!"
"Fuck, godfather, I, I..."
Chen Hai was excited and frightened. He didn't expect that His Majesty would actually see what he did.
It’s really...what a surprise!
Seeing Chen Hai's excited expression, a hint of helplessness flashed deep in Chen Liancang's eyes.
Chen Hai's martial arts qualifications are not as good as Chen Zhong, Chen Yi, or Chen Xiao and others.
Even his personality is boring, not very clever, and can only be regarded as honest.
But...
He has spiritual roots and is a monk!
This is also his greatest capital.
Among the entire Shadow Guard, he and Chen Liancang were the only ones with spiritual roots.
If he doesn't take over Chen Liancang's class, who will?
But fortunately, Chen Hai at least had a 'loyalty'.
I am loyal to Your Majesty and Dayu.
This is also what Zheng Yi values.
Not highly qualified?
Not strong in cultivation?
It doesn't matter.
Just stay true to yourself.
At worst, just spend several times the resources to increase his cultivation level!
He took a deep breath and continued: "Xiao Haizi, I was seriously injured and my foundation was damaged. I will stop here in this life."
"Fortunately, His Majesty missed the old friendship and allowed my old dog to linger in the palace, which also gave our family a place to stay."
"So I leave this matter of blood sacrifice to zombies to you."
Chen Liancang grabbed Chen Hai's wrist and continued: "You have mediocre qualifications, but you are better than you are young."
"Be loyal to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will live up to you."
"Spiritual stones, elixirs, exercises, etc., will not be stingy in cultivating them."
"With your cultivation, it is very likely that you will enter the late stage of Qi training, or even the foundation building stage!"
"Even if we don't reach the foundation building stage, with the help of so many zombies, we can still resist the foundation building monks."
"Xiao Haizi, these zombies are your greatest asset and the backing of the Dayu royal family. Do you understand?"
Chen Hai's eyes changed and he said respectfully: "Godfather, my child... I understand."
"Okay."
Chen Liancang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a relieved smile: "As expected of a person that our family values, I will let you go when I report the matter to His Majesty."
"It's... godfather!"
"By the way, there is one more thing that you should pay more attention to."
"Daddy, what's the matter?"
"General Xu."
Chen Liancang took a deep breath and said: "Our family's time is short. After a hundred years, if General Xu is still alive, then you will look after him for our family."
"If he makes any unusual move, he can control many soldiers to surround and kill him!"
"General Xu!"
Chen Hai said in astonishment: "Dad, General Xu is my general who protects the country in Dayu. Why..."
"Hehehe..."
Chen Lian Cang smiled lightly and said: "Our family has lived for almost a hundred years, who hasn't seen anyone?"
"How many former loyal and good ministers changed their minds after receiving great power?"
"How many loyal people will not change their hearts in the face of great temptation?"
"Not to mention anything else, Prime Minister Yang was also a 'loyal uncle' more than ten years ago. He quelled the unrest in Nanyue County for the late emperor, purged the officials, and assisted His Majesty in enthroning the throne... However, he did not launch a rebellion in the end. ?”
"If it weren't for Your Majesty's wisdom, the Yu Dynasty would be gone!"
Chen Liancang stood up and said: "Your Majesty once said something before, there is no absolute loyalty!"
"General Xu has been loyal to Dayu from beginning to end...!"
"Yes... the child understands."
"You go ahead."
Chen Liancang waved his hand and said: "Report the situation here to your Majesty truthfully, and your Majesty will give you the next instructions."
"Yes, godfather!"
Chen Hai said respectfully: "Goodbye, my child!" (End of Chapter)
