A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 936: The way to break the impasse, Changmei Zhenren vomited blood! (Please subscribe!)

What is the most frightening thing when fighting against someone? The most frightening thing is being led into the other person's rhythm.

When someone takes the initiative, they will definitely choose what they are best at and strongest at.

  Even if you are strong and not afraid of the opponent, you could have won easily, but it will take a lot of effort to fall into the opponent's rhythm. If you were originally winning by force, you may become the loser. If you were originally evenly matched, you will definitely lose!

If you ask how to break the deadlock, it’s simple. Just jump out of the framework set by the other party and don’t follow the routine.

For example, if the other party plays rock-paper-scissors with you and you use five-handed tactics, you hit him with a brick; if the other party plays rock-paper-scissors with you and you use scissors, you hit him with a brick; if the other party plays Landlord and you use a king bomb, you hit him with a brick; if the other party is just joking and you kill him, then congratulations, you will be the last person standing.

The main feature is the unexpected and shameless approach.

Emei wants to fight with swords? If you say so, let's fight!

In "The Legend of Swordsman of Mount Shu", there were three sword fights between Emei. Except for the third one which was not finished by the author, the first two were all full of calculations and advantages.

Looking at Emei's opponents, they were originally very powerful and had good skills, but they ended up being led by the nose, beaten to death and maimed, and were in a miserable state.

Hua Shier directly tore up Emei's declaration of war. He didn't even look at the date of the battle, which was scheduled for the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month at the end of the year. Well, he just didn't look at it.

Sword fight? Damn it! Break the formation? Break your uncle!

He had already sent people to search for the ancestral graves of the Emei Sect members. Once he gave the order, the Guo family's machinery was immediately put into action. With their names and places of origin, a group of old scholars from the Hanlin Academy started looking through history books, checking county annals, and tracing household registrations to dig up their roots.

Nowadays, the ancestral graves of everyone in Emei Sect have basically been identified, except for those who are unaware of their origins even by themselves.

Originally, an outstanding young emperor like Hua Twelve who was so loyal, simple, righteous, kind, compassionate, loving, kind-hearted, handsome, elegant, and promising would be very reluctant to use such a damaging trick.

But my heart is toward the bright moon, but Emei Mountain is facing the ditch.

  The Emei Sect blatantly acted as traitors and declared war on the Ming Dynasty in order to help the Later Jin Dynasty. They have no dignity left, so what is the point of having their ancestral tombs!

So, under extreme helplessness, compulsion, and against his will, Hua Shier enthusiastically, joyfully, and passionately decided to start digging up the ancestral graves of the Emei Sect and refining zombies.

At the command, horses rushed out of the capital at a speed of 800 miles and headed to various places.

There was no substantive content on the order sent out, only the same date and time: July 15th, noon!

On July 15th, the Ghost Festival, the Jinyiwei from all over the country who have been well prepared will work together to dig up graves and corpses!

The Zhongyuan Festival was supposed to be a day for offering sacrifices to ancestors in autumn, but instead graves were dug up and corpses were exhumed. If the ancestors still had spirits, they would surely be filled with resentment.

Hua Shier asked Cao Zhengchun to arrange the digging of graves and corpses, while he himself went to Qin'an Temple to meet Li Jingxu, the Master of Bliss!

When he saw his senior brother, Hua Shier told him everything that had happened in the past few days.

When Master Ji Le heard about the Life and Death Grass, he was immediately shocked: "Junior brother, you said that grass can turn people into zombies. What does it look like? Tell me about it."

Hua Twelve had never seen him before, so he asked someone to call Qian Songyi and asked her to greet his senior brother. Then he took out a pen and paper and handed it to her, saying:

"Draw a picture of the Life and Death Grass for Brother to review!"

Cheon Song Yi took the paper and pen and started drawing. With a few strokes, a plant appeared on the paper.

Master Ji Le was surprised: "I didn't expect that there are still such things nowadays!"

When Hua Twelve saw that Master Ji Le actually recognized him, he quickly asked, "Brother, what is the explanation for this thing?"

  There was worry in the eyes of Master Ji Le:

"This is zombie grass. Rumor has it that it was made by the Golden Immortal King Pan during the prehistoric times using poisonous insects and poisonous grass. King Pan later died in a catastrophe, and this zombie grass was scattered across the prehistoric land. This thing has caused several corpse plagues, the last one being during the Tang Dynasty, when the empress was in power and a corpse plague broke out in Sichuan and Shu. It was later confirmed to be related to the zombie grass."

"After the zombie plague was quelled, fellow Taoists Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, under the order of the empress, summoned all the cultivators in the world and traveled all over China to destroy all the zombie grass. I also participated in this matter at that time. I didn't expect that this thing still existed in Goryeo!"

After Master Ji Le finished speaking, he looked at Qian Songyi and asked, "Where did you find this zombie grass? I will go and destroy it right away. Otherwise, if there is any mistake, it will explode and there will be a great loss of lives!"

Before Qian Songyi could speak, Hua Twelve spoke first:

"Brother, wait, there's something even more exciting coming up!"

Hua Shier told the story of how he discovered Changmei was colluding with aliens and had built a temple for him in Goryeo.

Of course he didn't use the term "aliens", he was talking about monsters from the stars!

Zhenren Ji Le didn't care much about those "aliens". He just said that they were probably demons that were scattered outside the domain along with the fragments of the primitive land when the primitive world was broken. Since they were not very powerful, there was no need to care about them.

However, regarding Changmei's decision to build a temple for him, Jile Zhenren took it very seriously:

"He has no position as a deity, but he enjoys incense. How brave Changmei is!"

Jile Zhenren told Hua Twelve that it was taboo for cultivators to enjoy incense, because only immortal officials or righteous gods on the List of Gods were worthy of having temples built and incense offered. Changmei was probably going to found a temple and establish a patriarch in the Lingkong Immortal Realm, so he absorbed the incense and faith of the human world to strengthen his soul and magical power.

He guessed that Changmei moved the temple to Goryeo because there was no righteous god guarding the foreign country.

  The True Man of Bliss smiled faintly:

"Junior brother, if you have time, go look for him. Changmei has big plans. I guess he will not only build temples in Goryeo, but maybe other small countries have his temples. I am familiar with him, so it is not convenient for me to take action. If you meet him later, just tear down all his temples. Although I don't know what he is planning, it is definitely not a good thing for Qingcheng!"

Hua Twelve rolled his eyes helplessly. Now he felt that the Qingcheng inheritance was just a pot. It seemed that everything you didn't want to do was thrown to me.

He also wanted to ask Ji Le Zhenren to help analyze the matter of Chang Mei's collusion with aliens, but Li Jingxu looked down on the foreign demons, so he didn't take it seriously and just asked about the whereabouts of Qian Song Yi's life and death grass.

Hua Twelve nodded to Cheon Song Yi, and the latter told him that she had seen the grass of life and death in the abandoned four counties.

Just as Ji Le Tong Zi was about to leave, Cheon Song Yi knelt down and begged him for something.

Li Jingxu quickly waved his sleeves and helped Cheon Song Yi up:

"Since you follow my junior brother, we are naturally family. You must not be so generous. If you have something to say, just say it directly!"

Cheon Song Yi hurriedly told what she wanted, but it turned out that the Fanhu tribe where she lived was massacred by the Jurchens of Pozhuwei. She survived by chance by going into the mountains. Later, she did not choose to bury her tribe members, but dragged all the bodies of her tribe members into a cave in the mountains where the four abandoned counties were located, tied their hands and feet with iron chains, and then used the grass of life and death to turn all the tribe members into zombies.

When she was young, she thought that this was a resurrection. Later, when she grew up and understood the truth, she realized that it was not a living person. After it became like that, the tribe members might not be able to rest in peace.

However, although Cheon Song Yi understood this truth at the beginning, she wanted to end it with her own hands several times. However, because of her feelings for her tribe members, she could not do it, so it was delayed until today.

She wanted to ask Li Jingxu to go to the cave when he went to Feisi County to look for the Herb of Life and Death, so that he could help her let her people rest in peace.

Li Jingxu nodded repeatedly. Although his sister-in-law was a Jurchen, she was a kind-hearted person. He agreed immediately and turned around to leave Qin'an Hall.

Hua Twelve grabbed him and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, Senior Brother!"

Li Jingxu was getting impatient: "Are you going to let me go or not?"

Hua Twelve released the Anywhere Door and pushed it open: "We're here, come on over, Senior Brother!"

  Li Jingxu looked at it curiously. He walked through the door and realized that he was not in Shenzhou. He had some guesses in his mind and asked uncertainly:

"Are these the four abandoned counties of Goryeo?"

Hua Twelve smiled and nodded: "Amazing, isn't it!"

The boy's eyes lit up, as if he had seen something interesting: "Junior brother, this magic weapon of yours."

  Bang!

Hua Shier directly closed the door, and the door on Li Jingxu's side disappeared instantly, and Ji Le Tongzi was very upset!

When Li Jingxu was looking for the Grass of Life and Death, Hua Shier began to retreat to improve his strength.

Emei issued a challenge and scheduled a sword fight in Liaodong on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, proving that the other party was ready to take action. Although Hua Twelve had no intention of accepting the challenge, it was imperative for him to improve his strength.

He took out the broken invisible flying sword of the laughing monk from the storage space, and used the internal cultivation method of "Nine Sword Forging Methods" to start absorbing the essence of the five metals. The material of this invisible flying sword is Taiyi Jingjin and the essence of the five metals, and Hua Twelve just happened to absorb the essence. Hey, why does it sound so much like the female silver thief? No matter what, just absorb it!

A mouthful of 'Spiritual Treasure Innate Sword Qi' was sprayed onto the two broken swords, and the green sword qi immediately wrapped around the dagger.

After a hundred breaths, Hua Shieryun's mental method inhaled slightly, and the 'Spiritual Treasure Innate Sword Qi' that wrapped the broken sword turned into two extremely dense green gases, which were inhaled into the body through his two nostrils, entered the Dantian through the lung meridian, and returned to the sword blank.

Hua Twelve looked inward and saw that the sword blank in his dantian had a hint of cold metallic light. Then he looked at the two broken swords, and the originally cold luster seemed to dim a little.

After absorbing all of it for three days, Hua Twelve finally gave up when he could no longer absorb any of the five metal essences. He then looked at the two pieces of invisible broken swords, which had completely lost their luster. He pinched them casually, and they shattered like rotten soil.

The sword blank in his body did not change much except for some luster, but he clearly felt that his strength had increased a little. A broken invisible flying sword was equivalent to the results of his three years of hard training.

I have to say, the Nine Sword-Forging Methods are difficult at first but become easier later on. Once you get started, your skills will improve by leaps and bounds. It is indeed amazing.

This guy is somewhat addicted to the feeling of absorbing the essence of five metals, like he is cheating.

He released the Sun and Moon Golden Wheels, thinking that if he absorbed these two, his strength would definitely increase greatly. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't bear to do so. After collecting them, he took out a large piece of vibranium and some adamantium.

As a result, after absorbing for a short while, all the vibranium and adamantium were absorbed, as the five metal essences contained in these two metals were pitifully small.

According to the Nine Methods of Sword Forging, the essence of the five metals is the spiritual energy contained in the metals that is generated over a long period of time.

Because the metals are different and the environments they are in are different, the properties of the essence produced by each metal are also different.

There is very little spiritual energy in Vibranium and Adamantium. No wonder these two metals are considered to have poor affinity with magic in the Marvel world and are not used to create artifacts or magic weapons.

Hua Shier really wanted to exchange all his vibranium and adamantium for uru metal. Thor's hammer must have contained a lot of the five elements' essence. What a pity.

However, although the five metal essences contained in vibranium and adamantium are extremely small, after Hua Twelve absorbed them, his sword blank seemed to have some of the properties of these two metals, and the sword blank became tougher.

Looking at the vibranium and adamantium that had been sucked in, although they did not turn into as exaggerated as rotten soil, they had changed from being indestructible to having the same strength as ordinary metals. They all shattered with a crackling sound when he pinched them casually.

With the discovery that the sword blank could acquire metal properties, Hua Shier immediately took out a large amount of vibranium and adamantium and absorbed it.

He gave up after just a while, because apart from the increasing internal five metal essences of the sword blank, its indestructible property was not strengthened any further.

In other words, this characteristic can only be obtained after the first absorption and will not be accumulated infinitely.

In this case, it would be a waste for Hua Twelve to absorb the vibranium and adamantium alloys which contain very little essence of the five metals. It would be better for him to keep them for use when refining equipment.

After putting away the vibranium and adamantium, Hua Shier came out of seclusion and headed for the royal treasury to look for rare metals.

With the accumulation of the first two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty and the royal collection from the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty, there are indeed many good things in this treasure house.

Hua Shier asked Cao Zhengchun to bring a list of treasures, and unexpectedly found a bronze mirror from the Shang Dynasty that was said to be made of copper from Shoushan.

He pointed at the name on the list, and Cao Zhengchun went to get the bronze mirror himself.

Hua Shier held it in his hand and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the material of the bronze mirror looked familiar. He immediately took out the bronze magnifying glass he had exchanged from the black-tongued female Taoist priest from the storage space for comparison and found that the copper used on the two bronze mirrors was exactly the same.

He thought that the bronze mirror in the treasure house was also a magical tool. However, after studying it for a long time, he found that although it had an imposing aura, it was not magical at all, proving that it was just a bronze mirror for people to look in the mirror.

In addition to this mirror made of mountain copper, Hua Shier also found three materials that had not yet been melted in the treasure house: Taiyi Real Gold, Taibai Refined Gold, and Bingding Real Gold. These were all meteorites from outer space and were presented to the emperor of the previous dynasty as auspicious signs.

Hua Shier collected these metals and went back to continue his retreat. He started by absorbing the metals from the bronze mirror. The bronze from Shou Mountain was the material used to forge artifacts in ancient times. It was said that Huangdi used the bronze from Shou Mountain to forge the Xuanyuan Sword.

Sure enough, the material of this artifact is extraordinary. The five metal essences contained in it are even more than that of the invisible flying sword. Of course, this may also be the reason why the invisible flying sword broke. In short, this mirror saved Hua Twelve from at least ten years of hard training and increased his combat power.

Hua Twelve collected the remaining pieces of metal first. His strength had increased too fast recently and his realm was unstable. If he simply increased his cultivation, he was afraid of hidden dangers. So he planned to rest for a while before making any decisions.

The Ghost Festival finally arrived. At noon when the Yang energy was at its strongest, the ancestral tombs of the Emei Sect members all over China were simultaneously dug up and the bodies exhumed by plainclothes guards.

Ancient tombs were dug up, coffins were broken open, and the corpses inside, which were as old as several decades, hundreds or even thousands of years, were exposed to the scorching sun. Among these corpses, some turned into a pile of bones, there were a small number of mummies and wet corpses, and some were lifelike corpses nourished by the earth's energy.

As soon as these corpses were unearthed, the plainclothes Jinyiwei affixed the soul-sealing talismans from the Imperial Master's Mansion on them, put them in sacks, copied the names on the tombstones with a brush, and then put them into wooden boxes, loaded them onto trucks and shipped them away.

Before leaving, he also burned the traceless talisman from the Imperial Master's Mansion.

Afterwards, these corpses were disguised as cargo and quickly transported to the capital by land or water.

While the ancestral grave was being dug, everyone in Emei was shocked at the same time. After making their own calculations, they all spat out blood. Then they flew up from Changbai Mountain on their swords and headed towards their respective ancestral hometowns.

Not to mention the people of Emei, even Changmei from the Lingkong Fairyland almost vomited blood. It wasn't long since they became fairies, and before they could realize their ambitions in the Lingkong Fairyland, their ancestral graves in the mortal world were dug up. How the hell can they seek justice?

That’s not all. When the people of Emei found their ancestral graves, they couldn’t find any clues.

The search was fruitless, so everyone would always go to Ningbi Cliff to take a look every time they returned to Central Plains. But when they got near Ningbi Cliff, they saw that outside the Liangyi Microdust Array, the ghostly aura was overwhelming, like purgatory on earth. Hundreds of ghosts were roaming in broad daylight, and the Emei base had become a ghost town.

Several great earthly immortals including the head sect leader Miaoyi Zhenren were trembling with anger. The great Emei Sect was actually bullied like this.

Qi Shuming gnashed his teeth and said, "Don't even think about it. The only people who can do this and continue to target our Emei Sect are the current imperial court. I think it must be the trick of the Ming Emperor!"

The ascetic monk was about to go to the capital to seek revenge, but was persuaded by Qi Shuming:

"The Ming Dynasty still has several decades of national prosperity. The power of cultivators who go to the capital will be suppressed by the imperial aura of the court. Brother Kuxing, why are you in such a hurry? Mortals also say that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. What's more, we who have gained immortality will wait for the Later Jin to enter the pass, destroy his national prosperity, and seize his country. Then we can take revenge again, tenfold or a hundredfold."

Shaoqing, everyone from the Emei Sect raised their swords and headed outside the pass.

  Hua Shier didn't hear what Qi Shuming said. If he had heard it, he would definitely have said, you can't afford it!

The corpses were secretly transported to the capital and directly taken to the Jinyiwei prison, where they were locked up with cold iron chains as thick as arms. This was the place chosen by Hua Shier to refine the corpses.

That night, Hua Shier appeared here accompanied by Cao Zhengchun and first entered a cell where three corpses were locked. They were the corpses of Changmei Zhenren's great-grandfather, grandfather, and father.

Although more than a thousand years have passed since these three bodies appeared, they are not just bones.

People often say that smoke is coming out of the grave of a person who passes an imperial examination and becomes the top scholar. In fact, if you dig it up, you will find that it is due to the earth's energy. The person's ancestral grave was bought on a Feng Shui treasure land, and with the nourishment of the earth's energy, his descendants will be able to succeed and become officials.

If this is the case for a top scholar in the imperial examination, how bad can the ancestral tombs of future generations who become immortals be? The corpses of Changmei's three ancestors were all nourished by the earth's energy, and although they are not as good as living people, they are almost the same.

Hua Shier thought to himself that he would give Emei a big push today.

He immediately released the Xiangxi Corpse King that he had collected that year from the storage space. With a casual finger, a cut more than a foot long appeared on the Corpse King's skin that was invulnerable to swords and guns. A large amount of the Corpse King's black blood spilled on the three corpses.

The Xiangxi Corpse King howled in pain, but before it could make any move, Hua Twelve once again put it into the storage space.

The black blood of the corpse king fell on the three corpses and was immediately absorbed by the corpses.

Hua Shier made a gesture, and the Jinyiwei immediately lifted the tiles on the prison to let the moonlight in.

Changmei Zhenren of Lingkong Fairyland is entertaining a visiting friend, who is here to borrow some fairy stones from him for emergency use.

As a result, just as his friend opened his mouth to borrow the immortal stone, three black auras suddenly appeared between Changmei Zhenren's eyebrows, and then he began to bleed from all seven orifices, his whole body twitched, his immortal energy ran wild, and he fainted!

The friend was confused: "Fellow Daoist Changmei, I don't want to lend it to you, it's not worth it."

Thanks: 08a, Brother Chu Ritian, the carefree immortal, for the reward, and thanks to the brothers who voted for the monthly ticket and the recommendation ticket, thank you very much.
