"Refining the Divine Pearl, in the legend, is condensed by the essence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth collected by the immortals of the upper realm, after the sacrifice, it can be integrated into the Yuan Shen, gradually digested, and can be refined to cultivate the Yuan Shen."
"Open the unlimited side quest: Ten Thousand Demons Chop, travel through the heavens and all worlds, kill 10,000 demons and monsters with more than 500 years of cultivation, this task, no time limit, no space limit, complete the task, you can get the blessing of the luck of the human race in all worlds, and have a chance to be reborn in Nirvana"
Unexpected information, stunned Jiang Chen, roaring divine soldiers, and falling female corpses, the picture was frozen at this moment, but in an instant, it was broken by a sad and angry cry to the brocade-clothed young man next to him: "Little sister!"
Although the shouting is urgent, but the power of the Qilin True Fire is not idle? The scorching flames can incinerate almost everything, and after the strange power of the transformation zombie was broken by the Chilin Divine Sword, it only took a few breaths before and after, and Song Yuniang's corpse had already been burned to ashes.
"Sheathed!"
Jiang Chen pinched the sword technique, the Chilin sword hovered in mid-air, and returned to the scabbard, he took a deep breath, turned around, and said to the brocade-clothed young man: "This son, Ling Mei has already changed into a corpse, if I don't completely destroy her, she will become a zombie sooner or later, and when the time comes, not only will your relatives be in danger, but also the lives of many ordinary people, so I'm really sorry." ”
"You, alas" angry, or sad, the boy in brocade heard this, and wanted to say something, but in the end, there was only a weak sigh left.
Yan Chixia patted him on the shoulder from behind, and persuaded him: "Don't be too sad, the so-called death lights go out, and Ling Mei is in the spirit of the sky, I'm afraid I don't want my body to change and become a zombie, and harm the lives of my relatives." ”
The boy in brocade sighed: "I understand what you say, it's just that my sister Yu Niang and I lost our father and mother since childhood, and we have been dependent on each other for many years, I finally got into the fame and became an official, I thought that I could make her live a happy and smooth life in the second half of her life, but I never thought that more than half a month ago, she died suddenly at home, I wanted to send her back to her hometown for burial, but I didn't expect that in the end, I couldn't even keep her body, alas"
In this regard, Jiang Chen could only apologize again, and Yan Chixia couldn't help but shake her head, but the two had no other choice.
Destroying the body is the only way to eliminate mutant zombies, of course, you can also use talismans or magic weapons or formations to suppress them, but such methods can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, whether it is a talisman, a magic weapon or a formation, with the passage of time, it will gradually lose its effectiveness, but zombies are almost eternal and immortal, that is, one day, the seal will fail, and the suppressed zombies will eventually break the seal and cause chaos.
It's just that the world pays attention to putting into the earth after death, and Jiang Chen and Yan Chixia's practice is undoubtedly a great harm to the families of the corpses. After apologizing again and again, Jiang Chen and Yan Chixia immediately started together, helping the young man in brocade to collect Song Yuniang's ashes, and Yan Chixia proposed: "Although it is helpless, in the end, we can't stop you, so it is better for us to help Ling Mei do a dharma, so that she can be overtaken and let her be reincarnated as soon as possible and become a new person." ”
Jiang Chen also said: "This son, you said that Ling Mei's death was abrupt and strange, after she is buried after doing the rituals, we can also help investigate it to see if there are any unknown secrets in it, so that Ling Mei's spirit in the sky can rest in peace." ”
"This" When the brocade boy heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate for a while, but after he groaned for a while, he still chose to agree, bowed his hand, and said calmly: "Since this is the case, then Uncle Song Yu will thank the two of you first." ”
"No thanks, no thanks. Finally solving the aftermath, Jiang Chen and Yan Chixia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, glanced at each other, and couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly.
The inn was already in chaos at this time, although the shopkeeper tried his best to appease, but the situation was not ideal, especially when the emaciated man who fled from Song Yuniang's eyes screamed in horror, and then saw the seven unconscious people in the house, how could people not panic?
Simply, the corpse-transformed Song Yuniang had been eliminated by Jiang Chen and Yan Chixia, and Jiang Chen took out the pill and woke up the seven unconscious people, and this matter was finally suppressed.
Of course, in order to suppress this matter, Uncle Song Yu also paid a lot of price, enough for hundreds of taels of silver, in addition to the compensation to the inn and the cost of many guests, after all, he is an official, and it is never a good thing for him to be contaminated with ghosts, especially if the corpse is still his sister, if his political enemies know about it, he only needs to do something in this matter, and it is still a trivial matter whether he can become an official, but I am afraid that he and his wife and children will be implicated.
After doing all the things, it was already dawn, Jiang Chen and Yan Chixia simply did not rest, let Song Yushu prepare, early in the morning, they carried the coffin to the ancestral tomb of the hometown of the Northern Song family in Qinghua County, and began to do things to surpass Song Yuniang's ghost.
This is not an easy thing, after all, Song Yuniang has already begun to transform into a corpse, the flesh and spirit are one, Jiang Chen destroyed her corpse, and also destroyed most of her soul, and if she wants to recover, it is not an overnight thing. In doing this ritual, the real transcendence is actually the innocent people who were killed by her.
is also harmful to people's lives, Song Yuniang and Nie Xiaoqian's situation is different, Nie Xiaoqian is because she was coerced by the thousand-year-old tree demon grandma, while Song Yuniang is after the corpse transformation, for her own transformation, one is forced, the other is active, and God calculates the crime, which is naturally different.
Therefore, Song Yuniang wants to rest in peace, and it has become inevitable that the souls of those innocent people who were killed by her will become a thing, as for her wanting to be reincarnated, it must wait until Uncle Song Yu and even the descendants of the Song family provide her with incense, until her soul is completely restored.
A ritual that started in the morning and lasted until dusk before it ended, thanks to the fact that Yan Chixia and Jiang Chen joined forces, and they both had mana, otherwise it would have taken longer.
With the end of the ceremony, the eight men who were already married in charge of opening the tomb immediately stepped forward to tidy up the coffin of the tomb, and then Song Yushu personally placed Song Yuniang's ashes into the tomb, Song Yuniang's personal maid presented various funeral items, and finally, Jiang Chen personally stepped forward to seal the coffin, and Yan Chixia opened the formation and enveloped the entire tomb.
"Fill in the soil, erect a monument!"
Among the people of the Song clan, a respected clan elder sang and spoke, and then, the eight men who opened the tomb stepped forward again, one person and one shovel, took turns to fill in the soil, and built a half-person high grave pile, and then the tombstone belonged to the front of the tomb. Uncle Song Yu covered the tile and pressed the paper in the limelight, and the maidservant placed the sacrifices in front of the tombstone, and lit all kinds of paper people and paper horses next to it, wisps of green smoke, slowly rising in the flames, covering the tomb.
"Little sister, it's useless to be the eldest brother, who failed to let you enjoy the glory and wealth during his lifetime, and even failed to guarantee your body after death, but you can rest assured, I will definitely find out the cause of your death, so that your soul in the sky can rest in peace" Burning incense and worshiping, the last words are the saddest promise.
Jiang Chen and Yan Chixia were relatively speechless, after all, they were the ones who destroyed the body of their sister. However, finding out the cause of Song Yuniang's death is exactly what they want to do, you must know that even if Song Yuniang was born in the lunar year, it will not necessarily be a corpse change, and there must be a reason why they don't know it, so they must investigate it carefully, so as not to leave any disasters, which is not good after all.
The group returned to the inn in Qinghua County, and Uncle Song Yu set up a banquet to invite everyone to dinner, and this white affair came to an end.
After dinner, Jiang Chen returned to his room, and it was only at this time that he had time to sort out the information in his mind, and began to use the reincarnation talent to obtain the ability that belonged to the transformed female corpse Song Yuniang (to be continued. )
