"How long will it take for Taoist Priest Qingming to arrive?"
"It can be as long as half a month, or as short as seven days."
"Okay then, I'll stay a little longer."
"Thank you, fellow Taoist."
"Brother Taoist, you're welcome, but I need your help with something."
"you say."
"I told the two daughters of the Ren family about purging their essence and cutting off their marrow, but they left without saying goodbye afterwards. They will definitely come to Yizhuang again to cause trouble. By then, Dao Brother will just tell me that I have left."
Uncle Jiu nodded.
He is old-fashioned, but he is not incapable of telling lies.
He turned around and left the hall. Just as he was about to go back to the left wing, his heart moved and he subconsciously looked towards the right wing. There was a strong ghost atmosphere there, far worse than when he left.
Uncle Jiu who was sent to the door saw his eyes and explained.
"Half a month ago, my aunt and junior sister wanted to take her disciples back to Maoshan to formally initiate the ceremony. There was no one to look after the dojo, so they moved some of the spiritual babies she had supported to me."
"I see."
I realized in my heart that this was probably the plot of "New Mr. Zombie".
Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered something.
"Brother Dao, is there a place called 'Tengteng Town' near here?"
Uncle Jiu nodded, "Tengteng Town and Zombie Forest are the two bad places in Ningyuan County."
"The Bad Place?"
Uncle Jiu nodded, "Do you know the Yin channel, fellow Taoist?"
Xu Rui nodded.
Heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, and all things also have yin and yang.
Famous mountains and rivers in various places have spiritual veins rich in spiritual energy, and naturally there are also Yin veins rich in yin energy.
"Brother Dao, do you mean there are Yin veins under Tengteng Town and Zombie Forest?"
"Yes. Because of the existence of Yin veins, the two places will attract zombies and ghosts within hundreds of miles. My Maoshan Taoist sect will organize the disciples to clear them out every ten years. The reason why I established the Taoist temple in this town
, and also accepted the mission of the sect to guard the two places to prevent ghosts from causing harm to the people."
Xu Rui nodded clearly, "Why not just seal the Yin veins?"
"It's better to block than to loosen, otherwise the accumulation of Yin Qi will become more and more, and there will always be a day when it can't be sealed. So it's better to clear it regularly like now. In ten years, no matter how many corpses gather, it won't be enough."
Big climate.”
Xu Rui nodded.
Ten years sounds like a long time, but in terms of cultivation, even those with superior qualifications can only advance one or two levels.
At most, there will only be a few cases of white stiffness.
For a powerful sect, clearing a place like this is easy, but not much different.
It can also provide a certain level of experience for the young disciples under the sect.
You can even choose zombies and ghosts with good qualifications to train them into guardian spirit generals.
It can be said that it accomplishes many things in one fell swoop.
"I wonder where Tengteng Town and Zombie Forest are? If I have a chance, I will go and experience it."
Xu Rui was quite moved.
If he could collect enough marrow washing points in these two places, he would have the confidence to improve his qualifications.
"These two places were just cleaned up by me, Maoshan, three years ago. There probably aren't many zombies and ghosts there. With my fellow Taoist's skills, they probably won't be useful for training."
Even so, Uncle Jiu still told him the locations of the two places.
The two places are indeed not far from Renjia Town, basically within a hundred miles, but one in the south and one in the north are far apart from each other.
Xu Rui is very interested in these two places.
Take out a talisman from the bag of magic.
"Brother Taoist, this is a ninth-grade high-quality 'transmission talisman'. When this talisman is activated, it can be heard instantly within a hundred miles."
Uncle Jiu also guessed what he was thinking.
"Fellow Taoist must go?"
"It's rare for me to have some free time, so I can go and see something. I can also avoid the harassment of the two young ladies from the Ren family. When my uncle, Taoist Master Qingming, comes, you can use this talisman to notify me."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Uncle Jiu did not try to persuade him anymore, nodded, took the transmission note, and thought to himself.
"Fellow Daoist Xu is really rich, he even has this kind of talisman."
The ninth-grade high-quality transmission talismans are not cheap, and their functions are relatively simple, so few monks buy them.
After bidding farewell to Uncle Jiu, Xu Rui left Renjia Town.
After arriving in the wilderness, wait until night falls, take out the Hundred Soul Banner and wave it.
More than twenty figures appeared in front of them.
"Fellow Taoists, please go on your own."
"Thank you fellow Taoist for the rescue."
After the ghosts bowed and bowed, they disappeared.
There is no resentment in these ghosts. Although they can get a lot of marrow cleansing points after refining, Xu Rui does not want to violate his own principles.
Killing innocent people indiscriminately may not matter in the short term, but over time, it will breed inner demons.
The Hundred Soul Banner was shaken, and after killing those souls with deep resentments, five marrow cleansing points were recorded.
Counting those traveling around the world, there are six.
It's a pity that the souls of the monks in the early stage of foundation building are only wandering souls, and he is too lazy to refine them, otherwise there will be more.
But even so, he made a lot of money by killing Si Yunfei.
I earned twenty-four just from the marrow cleansing points.
Counting the twenty-two accumulated previously, the record reached forty-six.
He has never had so many marrow cleansing points.
"It's a pity that there is still a little less."
After gathering his mood, he called General Zuo and rushed towards the zombie forest.
It is relatively close to Renjia Town.
Walking like a tiger, the speed is very fast.
In less than half a day, we arrived at Sanlang Mountain on the edge of Ningyuan County.
Sanlang Mountain is not big, with only a dozen hills in total.
The three peaks in the middle are arranged, nearly 100 meters higher than the other peaks, and appear to be particularly outstanding. This is also the origin of the name of Sanlang Mountain.
Of course, some folk tales are indispensable in the middle, so I won’t go into details here.
The zombie forest is located deep in Sanlang Mountain.
The place is easy to find, and the extremely rich Yin Qi is the best guiding light.
"This should be it."
Looking at it, this is a hilltop about one hundred meters high.
Losing sight of everyone in Sanlang Mountain.
But the entire mountain is lush and covered with thick and tall locust trees.
The locust tree is a shady tree. It grows extremely tall in a rich yin environment, and its fluffy crown spreads out, blocking large areas of sunlight.
Xu Rui took a brief look and walked up the mountain.
After walking under the locust tree, the temperature dropped instantly.
It felt like walking into an air-conditioned room in the dog days of summer and feeling cold all over.
"The yin energy is indeed strong."
Continuing to walk forward, as far as the eye can see, except for a few shade-loving plants and trees, most of them are barren rocky soil slopes.
And the further you go up, the less vegetation there is and the more desolate it becomes.
Only the locust trees grew stronger and stronger, and huge burrs appeared on the trees.
The twisted and coiled faces look like painful faces, which can make people feel cold.
When we reached the halfway point of the mountain, we could barely see the sunlight under the cover of layers of tree canopies. In the dark woods, the silence was even more frightening.
Sudden.
A dilapidated coffin appeared in sight.
After years of wind and rain erosion, most of the coffin boards have been damaged, and the remaining coffin boards are stuck in the soil and slowly decaying.
He took a brief look and continued moving forward.
Some swaying jars and jars appeared one after another.
Some are already empty, and some can still see black residue inside.
Judging from the remaining aura, it should be the ashes of burned remains.
Going further, there were more and more dilapidated coffins and urns, and there were even many white bones submerged in the soil and grass.
This kind of terrifying sight that makes one's spine shiver and his legs tremble is something that Xu Rui, who is a bold artist, has become accustomed to.
"Why didn't you see any zombies or ghosts?"
Such a strong Yin Qi, for ghosts that grow with the help of Yin Qi, it is like a huge torch, attracting them here even though they are hundreds of miles apart.
Moreover, it has been three years since Maoshan last cleared this place, so there should be a lot of zombies and ghosts accumulated there.
He stepped forward and sped up.
The zombie forest, which was not high to begin with, was quickly trampled under his feet.
The locust trees here on the top of the mountain are taller.
The thickest ones have six or seven people hugging them, and they are no more than 40 to 50 meters tall.
The thick tree was covered with knotty growths that resembled distorted human faces.
There are also some relatively well-preserved coffins here, but there are no signs of zombies or ghosts.
"I want to see where you are hiding?"
Take out the Hundred Soul Banner.
Swing hard.
Nearly a hundred ghosts flew out.
Although it was broad daylight, there was no sunlight due to the obstruction of the locust trees, and there was a strong overcast atmosphere.
As soon as the ghosts came out, they showed happy faces.
The environment here is very suitable for them to practice.
Xu Rui slapped the magic bag, and hundreds of corpse-suppressing charms and ghost-suppressing charms flew into the hands of the ghosts.
"Take my magic talisman and capture all the zombies and monsters on this mountain."
The group of ghosts got the order and dispersed in all directions.
Xu Rui found a clean coffin, jumped on it, sat down cross-legged, and activated the Hundred Soul Flags to absorb the strong Yin energy of the place.
For the Hundred Soul Banner, sufficient Yin Qi is the foundation for its advancement.
The yin energy accumulated in the zombie forest for countless years rolled in, and soon a rich black mysterious light bloomed.
Time passed little by little, and about an hour later, all the ghosts that had left earlier came back.
The result left him greatly disappointed.
Not even a single clue was found.
"How is that possible? Unless someone takes away all the zombies and ghosts here before me."
He shook his head. Regardless of whether it was as he guessed, his original plan would definitely fail.
Sighed.
"Let's practice the Hundred Soul Banner. You can't come all the way here in vain."
General Zuo was protecting him, while Xu Rui sat cross-legged on the coffin, urging the Hundred Soul Flags to continue absorbing the surrounding Yin Qi.
The time of cultivation always passes quickly, and the sun sets and gradually disappears.
The already dark zombie forest gradually became invisible.
However, Xu Rui once practiced the Eagle Eye Technique. Although he has not mastered it for many years, the effects of his earlier practice are still there, and it is not difficult to see in the dark.
The same goes for General Zuo.
But Xu Rui couldn't care about it for the time being.
After swallowing a huge amount of Yin Qi, Baihun Banner finally won the moment of transformation.
Under the sight of spiritual consciousness.
The three prohibitions rotate rapidly, like three precise gears, the wheels reciprocate.
Every time it rotates, a large amount of Yin Qi is sucked in.
Sudden.
The speed of the three forbidden rotations has been greatly accelerated, and the range of absorbing Yin Qi has doubled.
Yin Qi surged like angry waves.
The center of the restriction suddenly sunk, like a black hole, swallowing up all the yin energy coming and going.
I don’t know how long it took, but wisps of dark black brilliance bloomed.
