I am the Lord of the Underworld

Chapter 44 The Body of Uncle Shui, Goro Zhangshi (for further reading)

A mile of banyan trees.

The shade of the trees obscures the sky, and the trees below are dense, and there are several houses faintly.

There are strange human-eye orchids on the tree, and there are sunflower-like plants around the tree.

Twenty armored ghost soldiers practiced cross-legged under the tree, absorbing Yin Qi.

Sitting at the head is Yincheng Zhang Qi.

Beside him was a golden-eyed frog the size of a human head, with its four limbs on the ground, its mouth wide open, and it sucked in Yin Qi.

There are fields around the trees, planted with ghost rice, ghost cotton, ghost vines and so on.

More than a dozen ghost soldiers are looking after them.

When it was shift time, these ghost soldiers went back to their wooden houses to practice. After eating, they went to practice Yin Gathering under the banyan tree.

There are also practicing will-o'-the-wisps.

Tang Ping opened the spell to the Taoist soldiers under his command.

Although there are only more than 30 Taoist soldiers, they are all elite soldiers without exception.

To be on the safe side, Tang Ping only recruited members of the clan, and basically did not accept lonely souls and wild ghosts.

Inside the wooden house, Tang Ping was no longer there.

He is in the palace deep in the pool.

boom!
Gululu......

Suddenly, the thirty-foot-deep waters bubbled like boiling.

The majestic spirit burst out.

Near the mangroves.

A large black fish nearly ten feet swimming in the shallow cement pond.

At this time, he also noticed the situation on the water surface.

A tall human figure emerged from the water.

He is nine feet tall, with a human upper body, black hair and red scales on his face, and a carp-like tail on his lower body.

The moment this god appeared, the entire waters seemed to boil.

The energy of the water attribute skyrocketed at this moment.

Heifu took this opportunity to open his fish mouth, gulping down the essence.

clack clack...

Suddenly, besides the head, Hei Fu's body also became a human.

Tang Ping closed his eyes, sensing the change in form after the mastery of water control.

He seemed to have really turned into a fish.

Like a fish in water, it has a very strong affinity for currents.

Even if you enter the deep sea, you don't have to worry about the water pressure.

"Am I in He Bo's form?"

Tang Ping was quite interesting.

This dark contract is really powerful, and you can change into whatever form you want.

What if icebergs, volcanoes, and even clouds are formed in the future?

Supernatural powers, even stronger than the so-called 72 changes.

Tang Ping put away his magical powers.

At this time, a fish-headed man came to see him, with a simple and honest voice, he bowed and said: "Heifu pays homage to the god."

"Huh? Have you broken through to the Shahun?"

Unknowingly, there was another Shahun under his command, and now it was the third one.

"Blessed be the Lord."

"I will make you the Captain of Zhenshui, responsible for assisting the head of the pavilion at the tomb gate to guard the waters."

"As ordered!"

Whoa!
Tang Ping returned to the cabin.

After the completion of the water control method, the only spells left are the evil spirit eating method and the mountain cutting grass.

Now it's perfect to have another medicine refiner.

Tang Ping took out the wooden slips.

Seriously study the fairy bait ginger saltpeter method.

The main root of this method is yellow powder.

Yellow powder needs to use special methods of water and fire to extract the essence of ginger and saltpeter.

Tang Ping called it the bait refining method.

Ginger is fire, and nitrate is water.

The combination of the two is in line with the creation of heaven and earth.

"First soak the divine ginger with water from the east for seven days, then smash it with a wooden mallet, filter it with cloth to get the juice, put it in a black pottery, seal the soil and bury it for ten days, add wild grass in the morning dew, roast it with fire, and get the turmeric juice... ..."

"The running water east of the saltpeter removes the sand, soaks the new reed in water to submerge the saltpeter, soaks it for a hundred days, grinds it again... bake it in a big fire..."

The combination of the two is yellow powder.

The whitish color is the lower grade, the light yellow color is the middle grade, and the golden color is the upper grade.

Yellow powder can be matched with many things.

The so-called bait is to catch the ingredients in the treasures of heaven and earth.

In theory, different functions can be fished out, but these are the only ones that are useful at present, and most of the others are poisons.

"Don't worry about it, let's re-enact a few prescriptions."

Tang Ping thought to himself.

My own advice is actually quite suitable for practicing this kind of alchemy.

Alchemy depends on technique, the more stable the method is, the easier it is to refine the elixir.

Tang Ping walked out the door.

When the ghosts woke up, Zhang Qi stepped forward to greet them.

: "God!"

"Keep practicing, don't worry about me." Tang Ping said suddenly, "By the way, you can go to the ghost market to buy a tripod, not too big, and three black clay pots."

"July [-]th is coming soon, Mrs. Zhang has some tripods."

"Are you also able to make tripods?" Tang Ping wondered.

The difficulty of making a tripod is relatively high, but it is not comparable to ordinary swords.

"I used to want to build a chariot, and the bronze tripod was just for practice."

Tang Ping shook his head and said, "There's no need to build a cart. How can you, who have been a monk since elementary school, compare with you? Continue to engage in horseback riding and archery, mainly with soldiers and supplemented by cavalry. This is your strength."

"Buy one yourself."

Tang Ping took the time to put on his feather coat and go to Yangjian to get some water, so he could basically make medicine behind closed doors.

a few days later.

Zhang Qi bought back the bronze tripod.

This is a bronze tripod with three legs and two ears, it is not big, it probably reaches the thigh.

Tang Ping did what he said and started the great business of refining medicine.

Hand over the banyan tree to Zhang Qi, and hand over the water area to Hei Fu.

boom!
Ten days later, there was an explosion from the cabin, and the roof blasted into the sky, sending bronze shards everywhere.

"Quack, quack..." The frog spun around in fright.

boom!
A piece of bronze smashed on its head, staring at its eyes, lying on the ground revealing its white belly.

"Zhang Qi, buy another tripod another day, no, ten tripods."

"Yes!"

"It should be an accident." Tang Ping muttered to himself.

Bait refining method? (1/1000).

Getting started is getting started, but the proficiency is a bit low.

Accidents are prone to occur when proficiency is low.

Practice first and talk later.

The medicine given by Qiu Sheng is enough for three to five months, so don't worry.

Fifteen next month.

Zhang Qi came over with a bunch of bronze tripods in two storage bags.

"Have you seen that person?" Tang Ping asked.

"No."

"That should be closed to death."

Tang Ping put the thought behind him.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a frog lying under the banyan tree with its big belly exposed, and he was suddenly out of breath.

"You kid is free, come here."

"Quack, quack..."

The frog swished up and landed on Tang Ping's shoulder, staring at Tang Ping flatteringly with its two small eyes.

"Go back to the water pond to pickle the fish, and help me pickle the fish in the future..." Tang Ping paused, and suddenly shouted, "The chief of the tomb gate listens to the order! You will be named General Yuanshui, leading six...twelve armies to guard the water pool , there must be no mistake!"

"Cuck!"

As soon as the words fell, the frog's eyes lit up immediately, and it flew into the darkness with its chest upright, ready to inspect its territory.

Tang Ping returned to the cabin.

Youdu Tinghou does not support idlers, and now there are three ghosts, which is much better than 40 years ago. How could it be possible to let this group of laborers idle.

With sufficient materials, Tang Ping started alchemy again.

Spring to autumn.

The Wu family came back from victory and became one of the six top doctors of the Jing Kingdom by virtue of their military exploits. With great power, they own three cities and 50 people from the country.

The tax in the underworld has not been cancelled, it has only been reduced to [-]% symbolically.

It is divided among Yurenlu, Yurenhu and Yurenyu.

Spring and Autumn and two years.

There was no news about Qiu Sheng, maybe he broke through, maybe he didn't want to become a ghost, so he didn't go to Xiong.

Zhang succeeded in cultivating ginger tree in Meishan and found a small saltpeter mine.

Tang Ping spent tens of thousands of writing materials, and the bait refining method made it into Xiaocheng.

Finally, the success rate of the low-grade yellow powder has reached [-]%.

There is a [-]% probability of refining medium-grade yellow powder.

achieve self-sufficiency.

The progress of the evil spirit also slowly increased; Yangjian resumed two festivals a year, and the territory gradually expanded.The number of ghost soldiers aquarium is also increasing.

Everything is on track, it's just a matter of time.

On this day, a vision appeared in the mortal world.

Meishan.

There is a wooden hall on the mountain, which is the place where the Zhang family practiced.

"Ahhh!!"

In the apse, a young man was pacing anxiously, and there were occasional shrill shouts from the door.

Hearing his wife's voice, Zhang Cong was sweating profusely.

His wife, Xiong Shi, is Xiong Ying's daughter, and the two have been married since childhood.

This is Xiong's fifth child born to him.

"Wow wow wow!"

With the last cry, a baby was heard crying from inside the house.

"Congratulations to the owner, he is a man!"

Suddenly, the room was filled with red, like the setting sun.

"Bold evildoer!"

Zhang Cong thought that the ghost was causing trouble, so he rushed into the house immediately.

He stopped in his footsteps and was stunned. He saw the room full of red light entering the baby's body. The baby stopped crying. The blue pupils seemed to penetrate yin and yang, and he was looking at Zhang Cong curiously.
