The world of Taoism

Chapter 157 Savage
For the next three days, Zhou Xuan continued to study the secret method of training corpses.

Generally understand the process and the required conditions.

According to the esoteric practice of corpse training, the zombies really need to be trained are very powerful and invulnerable.

Of course, zombies don't eat or drink.

Ordinary zombies need human blood to survive and grow stronger.

This kind of zombie only needs incense candles and certain rituals to fill its stomach, and it can cultivate faster than ordinary zombies.

Boom!

For three days, He Yingning never came back, so he must have been imprisoned by the White Crane God.

It was indeed very dangerous last time. In fact, the White Crane God came in person, so it may not be able to bring out He Yingning and others.

Coupled with the fact that the White Crane God does not know how to attack, it may be difficult to deal with Luotoushi.

It's not easy for Zhou Xuan to come to the door against the wind now, so it's better to wait for a while.

In addition to the esoteric practice of corpse training, there is also a book called the spell of becoming a fairy with the flesh.

This spell is a bit evil, and it is still in theory, and no one in the Zhang family has successfully tested it.

Be aware that zombies can theoretically live forever.

And the overall quality is much stronger than that of human beings.

The ancestors of the Zhang family came up with an excellent solution.

It is to use one's own body as a material for training corpses, while retaining self-awareness, so that one does not have to worry about life expectancy.

In addition to various methods for cultivators to prolong their lifespan, the safest way is to break through the Yinshen realm.

A cultivator who abandons his physical body will have a lifespan of about 300 years.

If it is both body and soul, the life expectancy is about 200 years.

And only in theory.

For example, the theoretical lifespan of a mortal is one hundred years, and not many mortals actually live to such a long age.

Once the art of becoming a fairy with the flesh is refined, it will have a lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary people.

However, it has not been successful since ancient times, and this spell is only in concept.

Of course, among the techniques of physical immortality, there is also a spell that Zhou Xuan pays the most attention to - Immortal Cable.

Zhou Xuan roughly looked at it, and the cultivation difficulty of Immortal Suo was no less than the other two spells.

The rope is gone, I am afraid it will be very difficult to refine it again.

"master!"

At this time, Butler Liu came over and bowed deeply to Zhou Xuan.

"What's wrong? How's the situation?" Zhou Xuan raised his head and asked.

"I sent someone to the yamen to ask, but there is no title deed in the yamen." Liu Bo said.

On that day, Zhou Xuan asked Yun Tianming to help him take a mountain, but in the end it was nothing.

"If you don't have it, you don't have it. We'll think of a way another day."

"My lord! Someone is visiting!" Zhou Yi shouted outside the door.

Two people came in from outside the door, one of them was wearing Jing Tiansi's costume, the other was wearing a armored stomach, looking menacing, one could tell that he was a fierce general.

These two people are Fu Jian and Zhu Hanjie respectively.

"Zhou Xuan! How is your injury?" Fu Jian saw Zhou Xuan from afar and greeted him loudly.

"is acceptable."

The two sat on the chairs unceremoniously, Zhou Xuan asked the servants to make tea, and then asked the idlers to leave.

"Is the matter over there dealt with?" Zhou Xuan asked unexpectedly.

For such a big event to happen, according to the court's urgency, it would take at least a few months or even a year to wrangle.

It will even affect some people's official career, how can it be solved so easily?
"It's over, the imperial court appointed Lian Hongyu as the captain of Jingtian, and Mei Yi and I as the captain of Jingtian."

Fu Jian said with a smile, the official uniform on his body turned vermilion, it seems that he has indeed been promoted.

"Oh? Really don't pursue it? And don't check it?"

Zhou Xuan couldn't help being a little curious.

It's too hasty to end things so easily, right?

"Because another major event happened, the court didn't pursue it much." Zhu Hanjie said with a smile.

Wishing the Han Festival to come later for Zhou Xuan and others.

It turned out that there was a problem at the border.

The northwest ghost army aggressively invaded the border, the imperial court was defeated, tens of thousands of horses were lost, and hundreds of thousands of people died under the ghost army sword.

Only recently has it stabilized.

This matter is not important, what is more important is the issue of Lingwu Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is an institution established in the frontier. It is generally used to command the three armies and has a high position and authority.

Such an important institution was of course feared by the imperial court.

Generally, when the governor takes office abroad, he will send greetings to the emperor every once in a while.

The content is generally very boring, but these are the most basic etiquette to show loyalty.

The governor of Lingwu has not submitted a memorial for a long time.

In addition, the family members of the Governor of Lingwu, who were hostages in Chang'an, mysteriously disappeared recently.

And news came from the front that the eunuch had been killed.

When this kind of thing happens, no matter how dull the political sense is, people know that something is wrong, and something big is likely to happen.

The Lingwu Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is the most powerful military town among the three towns in the Western Regions, with tens of thousands of standing troops.

Once a rebellion occurs, it is likely to affect the entire Western Regions, and even the entire Chang'an.

This kind of thing is not a trivial matter, so what happened in Jiangnan County seems insignificant.

"So that's how it is..." Zhou Xuan said.

It seems that the state of Qi is really going to be in chaos.

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion on this border is somewhat similar to the Jiedushi, a highly autonomous institution.

Perhaps in the near future, there will be chaos among the heroes.

On the surface, there may be no rebellion, but in private, they may not necessarily obey the orders of the central government.

"Brother Zhu, what are your plans for the future?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"I'm going to stay at home. Fortunately, I ran in time." Zhu Hanjie said with a smile.

Zhu Hanjie is very disgusted with the struggle for power among high-level officials, and none of this has anything to do with him.

"Anyway, just stay here. There hasn't been much war in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times." Fu Jian said.

"That's true." Zhou Xuan nodded.

If the chaos of war really spreads here, at worst, run away.

Anyway, being an official is not the same in any dynasty.

Soon, Fu Jian revealed his intention.

"There is still a captain's position..."

"No need! It's too troublesome, no need." Zhou Xuan shook his head and refused.

There are too many miscellaneous things, and Zhou Xuan has no official addiction.

Just put a name here, and it will be convenient for you to handle things in the future, and you don't need too much.

"Aren't you busy in vain?" Fu Jian said.

Zhou Xuan has already pushed it twice. Could it be that there are really people in this world who do good deeds without leaving their name?
"How could it be so busy?" Zhou Xuan stood up and walked to a simple map.

The map is very simple, with a few strokes outlining the terrain and water flow of Jiangnan County.

It is a serious crime for ordinary people to hide this map, and it has no deterrent effect on people like Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan took out a brush and circled a certain mountain.

"I want Yuchan Mountain."

"What do you want this thing for?" Zhu Hanjie asked suspiciously, "There are no birds in this place, and there may be savages and monsters."

Fu Jian also looked puzzled.

Zhou Xuan's face suddenly became serious.

"Fu Jian may know about my family. My late father was murdered by a villain and died badly. A few days ago, he entrusted me with a dream, saying that Yuchanshan Fengshui can make the Zhou family prosperous."

"You want to take this piece of land as the Zhou family's ancestral grave?"

"Of course. This is my father's dream. I dare not neglect it. No matter what the price is, I will use Yuchan Mountain as the Zhou family's ancestral grave."

Although the reason is nonsense, it is very common in this era.

Hundreds of good filial piety first.

This was the only reasonable excuse that Zhou Xuan could think of during this time.

Aristocratic families generally have fixed ancestral graves, and some even bought a mountain.

Zhou Xuan had a reasonable reason to take down Yuchan Mountain.

……

The clouds are steaming and the rosy clouds are shining, and there are many mountains.

The golden light sprinkles on the top of the mountain, and the mist refracts the colorful glow.

The mountain peaks are towering and steep, and unknown birds fly across the sky.

The green mist enveloped the entire mountain forest, and the scene was like a dream.

The green mist on this mountain is the legendary miasma.

This mountain has been inaccessible for hundreds of years, coupled with the humid climate, densely covered with poisonous insects, the accumulated toxicity has almost reached the point where blood can block the throat.

This mountain is the legendary Yuchan Mountain.

Yuchan Mountain has excellent Fengshui, surrounded by mountains and water, with dragons and tigers.

If it weren't for the dangerous terrain, it might become one of the world's famous mountains.

"do not want!"

From the foot of Yuchan Mountain, there was a shrill cry.

Immediately afterwards, a group of savages with weeds as their skirts suddenly sprang out from the grass.

These savages bared their teeth, held simple weapons, looked fierce, and painted colorful camouflage on their faces.

Their target is a gang.

There were about ten people in this group, and a man and a woman stood behind the eight strong guards.

They are dressed in a mess, and judging from the fabric of the clothes, their status should not be low.

Visibly exhausted, the group looked at the savages with horror.

The first middle-aged man looked at the woman's gaze, with a trace of greed in his eyes, and said in a stiff tone, "Han people? Good... eat."

After all, a group of people rushed forward.

The eight guards drew their knives and fought with these savages.

The savage is not considered strong, but short in stature, much shorter than the Han boy.

In terms of physical fitness, the savages are certainly not as good as the Han people.

However, the combat experience is much higher than that of the Han people.

The savage's methods are vicious, and various attack methods emerge in endlessly, including poisonous snakes, poisonous arrows, etc., and they use everything to the extreme.

Whoa!
A man with a figure like an ape flew over hanging from a tree vine, and with lightning speed, he chopped off the head of one of the guards.

The head of the guard rolled off, and the headless body fell to the ground, twitching on the ground for a long time before losing its movement.

"Old Lin!" Everyone's eyes were tearing apart.

"Miss, you take the young master and go first! Let's break the rear!" One of the guards turned around and said to a man and a woman behind him.

The female is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the male is about five or six years old. They look somewhat similar, and they should be siblings.

"I... I don't know where to go..."

The girl was obviously frightened, her pale face became even paler, her lips were bloodless, and her legs were trembling.

Even so, the girl still hugged the boy in her arms tightly.

"The farther you run, the better, wait until the master sends someone... ah!!"

As soon as the words fell, an arrow pierced the guard's forehead.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the guards were killed.

The girl didn't run for long, and was immediately caught up by the savages.

"Don't kill me! My daddy has a lot of money, and they will use the money to redeem me." The woman tripped and fell to the ground, and the boy burst into tears.

"Really?" The savage leader stepped forward slowly, looking at the woman's slightly revealing spring light, a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes, "I just want you..."
