928 The turtle eats evil spirits, and the underworld summons the deceased
(928 The Turtle Eats Evil Spirits, and the Dead Flag Summons the Dead)
At the same time, a huge turtle cautiously poked its head out of a boulder at the foot of the mountain.
After a cautious but somewhat mechanical turn, it seemed to see no danger, and boldly stretched out a pair of front paws, staggeringly lifted the heavy shell, and took a few deep breaths as it crawled forward.
The dead qi that lingered on the many zombies within a radius of several miles was sucked out like this, mixed with the wind and snow, and sucked into its nostrils. With each puff, it has an intoxicated expression.
After just a few breaths, its expression froze. An irresistible grip came under the hood. After a few moments, it was caught back into the sea of qi.
Ever since Gou Zhu refined this Xuan Turtle, this thing has become a part of his Golden Pill. But the miraculous thing is that it can be reflected and embodied in the light of the golden pill at any time like a magic weapon, and it seems to be constantly generating self-awareness.
It is less dangerous for a magic weapon to generate self-consciousness and generate treasure spirits. Because Baoling has no roots and no foundation, it must rely on the urging of the owner to exert its power. Even if it can gather some heaven and earth aura, it is still under the control of the owner.
But with such an ancient divine beast, it is impossible to get it. Who knows if its consciousness will gradually recover, and finally it will be anti-guest-oriented?
Historically, there have been many monks who have been planted in the hands of foreign objects. Even the Five Elements Sect's Dharma cultivation power of internal and external practitioners was not spared.
So Gou Zhu always restrains this guy's desire to feast. Every time it grows slightly, it must be taken back and refined again, and little by little it will wear out its consciousness of slow regeneration.
Moreover, the dead air in Qingyang Town has been absorbed. Even the dead qi of the living who was contaminated with the dead breath of zombies was absorbed by the turtle. There is no longer any risk in the whole town.
It's time to find the source and uncover the Corpse Cultists behind the scenes.
The Corpse Soul Cultists had only one purpose in doing this kind of thing, and that was to refine more death qi. This is the same as cultivating true qi for cultivators.
Digging up dead people in a graveyard will not give you any dead air. There was only corpse gas in the graveyard. Corpse Qi is a corrupting force, but it has no spirituality.
Only when the living die that the fear and resentment that originate from the soul are injected into the corpse qi, so that the corpse qi produces spirituality, can it be refined into death qi.
Therefore, the more people who die, the more dead qi will be refined. Whenever there is such a large-scale outbreak of "zombie disease", the Corpse Soul Cultists must be breathing dead air nearby. Otherwise, such a scene will be in vain.
Under the shroud of Gou's divine sense, they couldn't run at all. Whether it's flying away or teleporting, it's just an initiative to expose your own stupidity. All they can do is hide in place.
Gou Zhu's eyes glowed with a faint blue light, and a circle of purple spiritual light in the void behind his head formed many spells, and a purple treasure mirror slowly conjured out. The rolling hills in the wind and snow nearby were in full view of him in the dim light.
He was thinking in his heart, since these Corpse Soul Cultists were so good at refining death qi, if he could catch a few of them, and if he could raise them as "human pets" and produce "turtle food" for the Xuan Turtle at any time, it would be much better than if he had to travel everywhere to find death qi now.
And even if he finds the dead qi now, he doesn't dare to let the turtle eat enough. This thing can't be "stored", and everything that can't be eaten is wasted. If it is self-refined, it can be supplied on demand.
Refining death qi requires killing the living, which is a trouble. But there are a lot of damned people in this world. Why don't you tell King Yun in the future, and in the future, if you commit capital crimes in Jinyu and Jinyu, you will all hand it over to him for execution?
After thinking about it for a while, he put back these miscellaneous thoughts, and if he thought about it again, he was afraid that he would fall into the devil's path.
After looking, Gou Zhu finally turned his gaze to the Xishan cemetery where the accident first occurred, that is, the Song family's Xuanshi.
After such a toss, the cemetery is still there, but there is no one in Xuan City for a long time.
The West Hill Cemetery is a mountain col. Gentle slopes on both sides. But what is really shocking is that as far as the eye can see, the hillside is densely packed with square tombstones.
The tombstones are almost close together, as if the whole mountain is covered with mahjong tiles. There are so many dead people in this world, which makes people feel terrified.
This is common for monastics. Because the world seems to be vibrant, but there must be many more dead than alive.
The whole cemetery was filled with a thick air of death. This is certainly not a natural occurrence of the cemetery.
It was the mortals of the nearby town, many of whom died and turned into zombies, and the death qi they generated was attracted to this yin place. Therefore, this is also the best place for the Corpse Soul Cultists to absorb death qi.
He was vaguely familiar, this was the place where he first entered the Xuanmen Gate and walked the rivers and lakes with the Wuyuan brothers for the first time, and met Haoqi and Yelan and his party.
A banner glowing with an almost imperceptible green light, like a ghostly fire, stood abruptly in a clearing in front of it.
The thick dead air almost formed a thick black mist there. Many lonely spirits were attracted and walked in the black fog as if sleepwalking.
The three Corpse Cultists, all dressed in dark red robes with black lines, sat quietly under the flag.
They sat there like that, and they didn't run away. Of course, if they really want to escape, they will never be able to escape. Do you still want to fight?
Gou Zhu walked in that direction. Just as he took his first step, there was a dull sound of clattering stones moving at his feet.
Sure enough, the tombstones were pushed away piece by piece. A corpse crawled out from under the tombstone that it had been pushed to.
Most of the people in the cemetery have been buried for many years and have long since decayed into a pile of dry bones.
But as long as there is still a little bit of ash and is contaminated with dead air, theoretically, a body can be condensed from the water and soil again, and it is the Soul Sect's underworld reincarnation technique.
It's just that this so-called rebirth no longer has anything to do with the original deceased. The spirits of the dead have long since gone to reincarnation.
What sustains this so-called "body of the underworld" is nothing more than the horror and resentment of some people before they die.
The floods and heavy rains caused the local defenders to react too slowly, so that too many people died, and too much dead qi was refined. The strength of these monsters is not weak, most of them can fight with the foundation building monks, and a few even have the strength of the Void Pill.
As soon as they were unearthed, they grabbed Gou Zhu with lightning speed.
If it is a mortal, as long as it is scratched a little, the body is contaminated with corpse poison, and the fear of death in the heart arises spontaneously, it will produce a strong death qi, and they will soon die and transform into their own kind, and then scratch others, and thus spread.
But before they could touch Gouju, a blue-green flame erupted from their bodies and burst into flames. Then they rolled on the ground like people on fire, squeaking and screaming.
Soon they were reduced to dirt again. Where they disappear, all kinds of plants and trees grow.
If you use the turtles, you can swallow them in seconds. But now he didn't want to feed that turtle anymore, and eating too much was not good for the turtle.
Moreover, if the Xuan Turtle appears, it will not be easy to capture those three Corpse Soul Cultists alive, and they will be devoured by the Xuan Turtle in an instant.
So he used the mana of Aoki on his yang side. Aoki's mana is full of vitality, which can absorb filth and death, grow living spirits, and make plants and trees flourish.
In the dark night, countless ghosts pounced like rabid dogs. However, they all began to burn in the middle of the road, collapsed, and turned into grass and trees on the ground.
All of a sudden, around Gouzhu, a circle of bright green fires lit up in the cemetery, like a strange formation.
This scene was transmitted through the Shadow Jade Jane, and at the same time appeared in the void in a dilapidated stone house on the Lonely Peak.
Under the uncertain shadows, several black figures were watching. One of them sneered:
"The Corpse Soul Cultist who spent tens of thousands of Xuanyin Pills to find, that's all he can do?"
