Raising Taoist soldiers, in addition to raising specific Taoist soldiers, also has other corresponding equipment, such as Taoist spells, tokens, weapons, flags, altars and other objects, just like the soldiers of the army in the mortal world.
, tents and other items are needed.
Among them, the altar is a kind of arrangement for recharging energy, dispatching troops and generals, and giving birth to Taoist soldiers.
This object can help Taoists communicate better and control their Tao soldiers; it can also imbue the Tao soldiers with spells like formations to increase their power; it can also restrain the defeated soldiers and allow the Tao soldiers to recuperate.
A more superior magic altar can even produce and refine Tao weapons on its own, saving Taoists a lot of hard work. It is already equivalent to a rare and rare magic weapon.
As for the source of the altar in Xu Dao's hands, there are white bone Taoist soldiers in the White Bone Temple, and there are also ghost weapon refining techniques in the Yaksha Gate. Both of them naturally have many skills related to Taoist soldiers.
Among them, Xu Dao, who was in the White Bone Temple, had a low status when he left the mountain and could not come into contact with it. However, he learned a thing or two about the Ghost Weapon Altar in the Yaksha Sect from the remnant soul of the Yaksha Sect master.
When the Taoist disciples and priests of the Yaksha Sect are refining ghost soldiers and generals, they often deliberately arrange a specific ghost altar, which can absorb Yin energy and souls, so that they can refine ghost soldiers on it and increase the success rate.
.
"Seven Returns and Nine Lives to Photograph the Ghost Altar" was selected by Xu Dao from several ghost altars in the Yaksha Gate.
To set up this altar, he did not need to collect powerful souls first, then spend mana to refine the ghost soldiers, as he did before, and then stuff them into the bodies of the tooth generals and scale soldiers for driving purposes.
And just need to collect some souls into the ghost altar and open the altar, these souls will devour themselves, and the poison will generally give birth to vicious ghosts, which are suitable for refining ghost weapons.
In addition, this altar will also be used by the disciples of the Yaksha Sect to increase the strength of their ghost soldiers. It is a good place to raise ghosts.
Among them, what made Xu Dao most excited and decided to use this altar was that if a living person entered the altar when the altar was opened to refine ghosts, not only would the soul in his brain be devoured by the ghosts on the altar, but his body would also be inflicted by ghosts.
Possessed, like possessed by an evil spirit.
If Xu Dao arranges the tooth general scale soldiers on it, the evil ghosts born on the altar will immediately burrow into the tooth general scale soldiers like hermit crabs, occupying them and refusing to come out.
In this process, not only does he no longer need to refine the ghost soldiers himself, but the possessed ghosts will also be able to control the tooth general scale soldiers more freely and flexibly, as if they were reborn from their dead bodies.
The only drawback is that although this kind of ghost is full of spirituality, it is equivalent to being imprisoned in the body of a living creature, unable to escape, and it is difficult to use various methods as a ghost.
Therefore, when the disciples of the Yaksha Sect perform sacrifices on this altar, the most important taboo is not to allow living creatures to break into the altar, otherwise the ghost soldiers they have worked so hard to sacrifice will tie themselves up and their efforts will be in vain.
But for Xu Dao, this shortcoming is not a shortcoming. After all, his purpose of setting up the altar is just to let the soul of the tooth general and the scale soldier exist in the body and become spiritual, so that he can use it conveniently.
As for the ghost soldiers as souls, whether the ghosts are powerful or not is no longer a consideration for him.
Xu Dao decided in his heart: "Then let's open the forum as soon as possible!"
But setting up the Seven Returns and Nine Lives Ghost-catching Altar is not something he can do easily if he wants to. Not to mention that he is currently short of money and has run out of spiritual items. As for the soul materials that can nourish ghosts, he doesn't have any soul materials in his hands.
were refined into ghost soldiers and consumed.
If he wanted to open a altar and perfect Taoist weapons, he had to go out of the customs first, buy and sell some spiritual objects and souls and come back.
After sorting out his thoughts, Xu Dao no longer thought too much. He raised his sleeves and snapped all the nine tooth generals beside him back into their teeth form, then put his sleeves away.
Then Xu Dao stood up suddenly, came to the edge of the cave, activated the formation, and walked directly into the blue water layer. His body shot towards the sea like an arrow, and suddenly disappeared around the cave.
………………
Xu Dao did not return to the Baichuan Shuiwu, the mountain gate of Erhai Dao Palace, but quietly returned to Wudu City. He concealed his identity and prepared to go to the Wudu Ghost Market to purchase all the materials he needed to open the altar.
Although the ghost market in Wudu City is not as good as the one in Baichuan Waterdock, the goods are enough for him. More importantly, you have to disclose your identity when entering and leaving Baichuan Waterdock, but the ghost market in Wudu does not, which is convenient for him.
Hide your whereabouts.
Even in order to keep a low profile, after Xu Dao returned to Wudu City, although he passed by his foothold in the city, he did not look for Su Jiu and others, and did not even take a look to avoid being caught by the Wu Zhao who might be squatting around.
Taoist priests discovered.
After going around and around for a while, Xu Dao spent all the last talisman money he had on him, and even temporarily drew a few talismans and sold them, and then purchased two sets of materials for decorating the ghost altar.
But the problem came again, he no longer had money to buy ghosts or monster souls.
A penny stumps a heroic man, and the same is true for a Taoist priest.
In addition to ghosts and demon souls, there are also human souls in the ghost market. Not only are they very cheap, but they are also plentiful and endless. You can buy a lot of them with just a few talismans.
But after learning about the origins of these souls, he gave up the purchase on the spot.
Because these human souls are obtained from killing people, some merchants will even take the souls on the spot to show to customers in order to ensure the freshness of their goods.
Even though these merchants kept saying that the people whose souls were taken were all criminals and the most evil people should be killed according to the law, Xu Dao still did not hesitate too much and turned around and left.
Not to mention that there is no business without treachery, he could not ensure the authenticity of the words spoken by the merchants, so he said that although the capital city of Wu was large with a population of more than one million, how could there be so many criminals committing crimes to death every day?
Although Xu Dao has killed people and taken their souls, those were Taoist souls, and they all came from his enemies. They were not killing people to take souls, but using them as waste.
The sale failed, so Xu Dao had no choice but to wander around the Demon Dancing Hall, preparing to see where there were many ghosts, so that he could go there and capture a few of them himself.
The Dangyao Hall in Wudu City is far more luxurious than the one in the east of Jiangzhou City. The stone lion at the door is covered with scales and claws, which is extraordinary, and its size is several times the size of Jiangzhou City.
The number of Taoists who came and went was also very large. If there were no formations on the threshold, the threshold would have been trampled down long ago.
Xu Dao was wearing a gray Taoist robe with a sallow complexion. He restrained his aura and was inconspicuous among the people who came to the door. Even if he passed through the formation and entered the Demon Dang Hall, the two Taoist priests guarding the hall were completely inconspicuous.
Discover him.
The Taoists who came to and from Dangyao Hall were all Taoist disciples in the Qi Refining realm, and Xu Dao did not see any Foundation-Building Taoist priests.
This is because although the Dangyao Hall in Wudu City is the largest in the entire Wu Kingdom, the foundation-building Taoist priests have long been on a different level from the Taoist disciples in the Qi Refining Realm. Anyone can serve as the Dangyao Hall in the Dangyao Hall.
host.
It’s not that the Taoist priests have to visit and receive tasks, but if the Dangyao Hall has something important to do, they must visit the Taoist priests and ask for help.
Xu Dao turned into a late-stage Qi-refining practitioner and wandered among them. After a while, he held a stack of books and sat on the Grand Master's chair in the Demon Dang Hall to read through them.
"A woman drowned in the east of the river and turned into a ghost. I wanted to get rid of her; someone's head flew up in the West Street of Xierfang. I was shocked to see that there were dozens of people dead."
"There are Yin soldiers crossing the border outside the city, but there is no trace of them at Chenshi. We are now asking for relevant information; there are green-faced fanged ghosts in Qiunan County, and some late Taoist disciples have died..."
Pieces of information and tasks appeared in his eyes, giving him a general understanding of what had happened recently in Wuducheng.
But the ghosts on the booklet were only two or three big cats and kittens. After Xu Dao made one, he had to make several others before he could get the ghosts he needed.
He didn't want to go to such trouble, but wanted to capture it all at once, and then return to his cave to open an altar and practice in seclusion.
After reading over a hundred messages, he finally found a task that interested him:
"In the mass graves in Zhishui County, black-faced ghosts have appeared recently, asking for blood and food, devouring men and women. They have soldiers under their command, and the people in the county think they are gods... I ask those with knowledge to cut them down, destroy their temples, whip the stupid people, and you can receive Taoism."
Three hundred merits."
Xu Dao chewed: "Mass Burial Mound is the easiest ghost to be born in this kind of land. It is not unusual. But it is strange that he claims to be a god and has ghost soldiers under his command. He is not an ordinary ignorant ghost. Could it be that he has a way?
A ghost transformed into a dead human body and soul?"
According to the booklet, this black-faced ghost is cunning and cunning, and his strength is unknown. Two waves of Taoists subjugated the demons and subdued them, but they were both dead and did not even fight with the black-faced ghost.
This is a mere ghost that dominates a whole county. It is estimated that its strength is not even in the late stages of Qi training. It is not known how it managed to trap and kill two waves of Taoists.
If Xu Dao takes over this mission, he will be in the third wave.
Once he fails, the Monster Demon Hall will double the reward for this task, and will also encourage Taoists to call their friends and work together to eliminate ghosts. If he fails again, he will directly contact the powerful monsters in the Demon Demon Hall.
Taoist disciples and even Taoist priests went there.
But this matter fell into the hands of Xu Dao, and there was no future.
"That's it." Without thinking much, he pinched the booklet in his hand, tore off the page, said something to the servant next to him, and then rushed to Zhishui County with great interest.
After leaving Wuducheng, Xu Dao took off all the way, wandering towards Zhishui County.
This county is already hundreds of miles away from Wudu City in a straight line. If you are riding a bicycle, you will have to go further.
When Xu Dao set out, it was already getting late, but fortunately, he arrived near Zhishui County in the evening.
The two Taoists sent to the county before had died one after another and did not deliver any useful information. Therefore, after Xu Dao arrived in Zhishui County, he did not have much clue. He had no idea where the black-faced ghost was, so he could not directly come to him.
, beat and kill that guy.
So he slowed down and planned to find a hotel to rest for a while. At the same time, he could have a drink and pay homage to his five internal organs temple, which would change his mood and relieve him of the depression of being in seclusion for so long.
Just as he was about to enter the city, a house suddenly appeared on the road into the county town, which immediately caught his eye and made him startled.
It is not a big house with several entrances and exits, but an ordinary small building. The linen pole outside the door is very old, and it looks like a small outdoor shop. Fortunately, the area around the outdoor shop is clean, not a blade of grass grows, and the poles are smooth.
Xu Dao stared at the hotel and raised his brows slightly. Then he looked in the direction of the county seat, paused, and walked towards the Ono Inn.
When he appeared in front of the door, before calling anyone, an old woman poked her head out of the shop and saw him.
Although the old woman had gray skin and gray hair, she was not dim-sighted at all. She caught sight of Xu Dao at a glance and said with a flattering smile: "Dear guest, your distinguished guest is here! Please come quickly."
With a creak, and without waiting for Xu Dao's reply, she opened the door, her short body hunched over her back, trembling, and led the way into the store to greet her.
There were already white candles lighting up the store, but the light seemed even dimmer, making the old woman's face look gloomy.
Xu Dao followed him calmly and entered the store.
Soon, a strong man with an honest face walked out from the back of the hotel again, with grass roots still on his hands, as if he had just finished feeding the mules, horses and other animals.
Xu Dao looked at the two of them with disbelief and bowed his head in greeting: "I have seen you two. I'm sorry for disturbing you. Please give me a room to live in."
When the old woman heard this, she couldn't help but say: "Excellent, very good! The old woman will go up and clean it up now, so as not to make it dirty and make the guests dissatisfied."
The store suddenly became deserted. It seemed that apart from this old woman and her fool, there was no other person in the store.
But the honest and strong man didn't speak, as if he was mute. He smiled innocently and went into the backyard on his own without waiting for Xu Dao's instructions.
Xu Dao didn't pay attention to the two of them, and walked in the store, looking at the surrounding environment.
Suddenly, he heard the banging sound of a kitchen knife and chopping board coming from the backyard of the wild shop, opening and closing, chopping bones, as if trying to make soup.
But it was not what he thought. After a while, the old woman came out of the backyard again and brought out a bowl of noodles instead of bone soup.
The noodle soup is golden brown, the minced meat is fried, and the aroma is fragrant. It doesn't look like something that can be made in a small shop in the wilderness, but like something that can only be made in a big tavern in the city.
Han'er placed the noodles in front of Xu Dao and signaled Xu Dao to devour it: "Dongdong!"
When Xu Dao saw it, he smiled coldly in his heart, but still slightly cupped his hands and said generously: "Thank you very much."
Then he picked up the chopsticks on the table and started eating happily.
The Han'er looked at Xu Dao swallowing, and the smile on his face was even more Hanhan. In the blink of an eye, Xu Dao had already swallowed half of the food. The Han'er quickly returned to the backyard, took out a jar of wine, and put it in
Go to Xu Dao's table.
After a hearty meal, Xu Dao just put down his chopsticks, and the old woman stuck her head out from the railing on the second floor and greeted Xu: "Guest, the bedding has been laid out. It's getting late, so let's take a rest early!"
She retracted her head and walked downstairs, muttering apologetically: "Sorry, sorry, my shop is small, there is not much firewood, and there is no hot water for customers to bathe. Customers should be more careful."
Xu Dao glanced at this person, pushed away the bowls and chopsticks in front of him, and shook his head: "Nothing, I have to thank the store for the hospitality tonight."
After saying that, he stood up and swayed to the second floor under the gaze of the old woman and Han'er, very quietly.
After entering the room, Xu Dao closed the door. He glanced at the layout of the room, touched the bedding, knocked on the table and chairs, and stepped on the bed board, with a look of surprise and satisfaction in his eyes.
But then, instead of falling asleep, he took out the newly purchased spiritual materials from the flying flag with bright eyes and started to move in this narrow hotel.
