Knife splashing

Chapter 322: Demon Corpse in the Tomb
The one who picked up the red Mohe was an old man.

He looked very strange, wearing a black robe and a black cloth wrapped on his head. His face was a bluish gray and covered with age spots.

Especially those eyes, which were also gray.

It was mentioned in the Book of Physiognomy that a dull face with a white diffused around it is a very ominous sign. It is called the mourning net of heaven and will bring disaster to oneself or one's family members.

The old man's condition is even more serious.

This is the look only a dead person would have.

Not only that, but there was also a faint stench of decay emanating from his body, and his fingers, which were covered in mud, had many white wounds.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this old man looks like a walking corpse.

Beside him stood several men, all wearing batik blue cloth vests and with their hair braided and piled on top of their heads.

They are all strong and powerful, with various bone ornaments hanging on their wrists and necks, and leather belts made of colorful ropes around their waists.

This dress is somewhat similar to that of the Tujia people, but also has some differences. It is dressed in accordance with the customs of the ancient Jiangxia barbarians.

Of course, the ancient ethnic group "Jiangxia Man" disappeared long ago, and even this dress is not so accurate.

The origins of these people are complicated.

Most of them were Miao and Tujia people who were dissatisfied with the Han people. They gathered together under the name of "Jiangxia Man" and formed a secret society.

The place where they usually gather secretly is the Barbarian King's Tomb. Most of the time they just drink and complain, or disguise themselves and rob Han merchant caravans to vent their dissatisfaction and earn some money.

With the guidance of someone with good intentions, he was able to accomplish great things.

"Elder Ge Lai."

One of the Miao men stared at the red Mohe in the old man's hand and said in disbelief, "With this thing, can the White Tiger Saint King reappear in the world?"

The old man nodded, looked at the thunder in the sky, and said in a hoarse voice: "The White Tiger Saint King is envied by the heavens. Once he is born, he will be struck by thunder, so he sleeps in the Barbarian King's Tomb."

"This is a sacred weapon from the Tang Dynasty. With it, the White Tiger Saint King can escape from his predicament!"

Several men knew each other, their eyes were full of excitement, and they all bowed and said, "Elder Ge Lai, please do something to make the Holy King come!"

The old man nodded and said, "Let's get started now without further delay."

After saying this, he led everyone through the forest.

In front of me is a large open space, the wild grass and vines that have grown wild have been cleared away, and in front are piles of earth, most of which are overgrown with old trees and dead branches. The broken stone tablets have collapsed to the ground, and the words on them are already mottled.

The Jiangxia barbarians disappeared long ago, so naturally there is no one to worship them. Even holes made by robbers can be seen among the dead trees and leaves.

It was originally just an ordinary area.

China is an ancient country with innumerable tombs of royal families from past dynasties. You might come across one wherever you go in the mountains.

However, as the White Tiger Evil spread, the atmosphere of the Barbarian King's Tomb became somewhat strange, especially in the dark corners of the dead trees, where there seemed to be several shadows with pale faces.

Those were all tomb robbers who died here.

The fierce aura of the White Tiger is emanating, and they can be seen by ordinary people.

In the open space in front of the mound, mud and blood were mixed together, and there was a huge pottery jar filled with human heads and severed limbs, soaked in blood.

Next to the pottery altar, there were also several men with gloomy faces standing.

When several Miao people saw this, they were all shocked.

This "Ge Lai Elder" was a treasure hunter from western Hunan who called himself a member of the explorer clan. He had spent most of his life searching for the White Tiger Saint King.

According to him, the Jiangxia barbarians originated from the Ba people and were descendants of Linjun. There was once a peerless hero, Wuman Xu Sheng, known as the "White Tiger Holy King", who led his people to resist the Han people.

This "White Tiger Holy King" is sleeping in the deepest part of the Barbarian King's Tomb, waiting for future generations to wake him up.

And the "awakening" process is also extremely brutal.

Not only did they kill the people from the surrounding villages for sacrifices, they also performed blood sacrifices every day after going up the mountain. After being surrounded by Zen people and unable to go down the mountain, they began to kill their own people for sacrifices.

According to this Gelai elder, once the blood sacrifice begins, it cannot be stopped until the "White Tiger Holy King" is born.

To be honest, the fear of several people at this moment was greater than their joy.

They joined the rebellion in the hope of getting rich and living a good life, but before they could succeed, most of their companions had already died.

Next, it might be their turn.

But these people also did not dare to resist, not only because Elder Ge Lai could summon ghosts and control zombies, but also because the several Tusi City masters standing in front of the altar were enough to control them.

"Greetings to Elder Ge Lai."

Several masters from Tusi City bowed in unison upon seeing this.

Elder Ge Lai looked at the earthen mound in front of him and asked in a deep voice, "How is it? Is it still the same?"

“It’s worse.”

After a man said this, he immediately took a gourd ladle, scooped up a ladle of blood from the pottery jar, and poured it on the mound.

Weird things happen.

The blood that splashed on the ground immediately mixed with the mud and water, but that which fell on the mound seeped into the soil at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It seems like something is sucking it.

Elder Ge Lai was about to speak when his heart suddenly trembled and he looked up to the north.

The White Tiger Evil was everywhere, and the entire mountain was wrapped in thick fog.

But he could feel that a force was surging in, trying to disperse the White Tiger Evil, and the thick fog on the mountain also began to surge.

"Open it quickly, it's too late!"

At the old man's command, everyone immediately stepped forward and hurriedly pushed aside the dead branches and leaves, revealing a huge hole for stealing.

The area around the stolen hole was filled with coffin nails and red ropes soaked in chicken blood, wrapped around each other to form a grid, obviously to prevent anything from coming out.

When everyone saw this, there was some fear in their eyes.

"A bunch of trash!"

Elder Ge Lai was furious upon seeing this, and stepped forward himself to pull out all the coffin nails and red ropes, then lowered his body and crawled into the cave.

Several people from Jiang Xiaman looked around, their eyes full of anticipation.

The masters from Tusi City exchanged glances with each other and slowly retreated.

The cave was damp and dark, with many tree roots sticking out. Because it was raining, rainwater seeped in and made it muddy.

Although this cave is much larger than other robbery holes, one has to crawl forward to enter it.

Soon, the Ge Lai elder turned into a mud monkey.

But he didn't care. He held the Red Mohe in his mouth, his eyes full of fanaticism, and continued to climb down the passage.

Suddenly, he felt something in his hand.

The strange thing is that this elder Ge Lai has white eyes and looks like a blind man outside, but once he enters the cave, he emits a faint green light and can see everything around him clearly.

In his hand, there was a human head, the flesh had dried up, and the skull was gnawed to pieces. Elder Ge Lai didn't care, threw the head aside, and continued to climb down, the depth had already exceeded the other Barbarian King Tomb.

Wow!
He rolled to the ground along with mud and gravel.

In front of you is a huge tomb chamber, surrounded by bluestone to form a square, with a circular stone platform in the center.

Some tombs follow the layout of a round sky and an square earth, but this tomb is the opposite, with the sky inside and the earth outside.

Not only that, the ground was covered with a layer of black soil, which exuded an incredibly cold feeling, and even large patches of white frost could be seen in the soil.

Black soil nine yin, the old cat lies on the ground.

This is exactly the legendary place for raising corpses.

What's even more brutal is that the four directions of this tomb, Xun, Li, Kun and Dui, are all inlaid and polished with obsidian, making them look like mirrors.

This is the man-made "Four Yin Land", and it is also a place for raising corpses.

If buried in such a place, even Buddha would turn into a zombie!
This was also the first time that Elder Ge Lai came down. He had no time to look around, but stared straight ahead, trembling all over and holding his nose tightly.

On the circular stone platform, there was a huge sarcophagus with a tiger carved in the middle and all around it were various ghosts and monsters.

The lid on top of the sarcophagus has been broken into pieces.

On the stone platform, there were piles of broken limbs and arms, and on top of it lay a monster. Although it had a human form, it was hairless, had pale and smooth skin, had bloody nails, a mouth full of fangs, and a face as ferocious as a demon.

It’s not formed yet!

The old man covered his mouth, not daring to reveal even a breath.

The "White Tiger Holy King" was all a lie he made up to deceive those big fools.

His real name is Ge Lai Chong. Although he is also from the Miao ethnic group in western Hunan, he has been in the underworld for a long time. To him, there is no difference between Miao and Han.

His true identity is a treasure hunter from the exploration lineage. He goes to tombs everywhere to search for various immortality techniques, cultivation methods and treasures from heaven and earth.

At the same time, he was recruited by Zhao Changsheng to join the Ghost Cult.

This Feng Shui plan of four symbols disturbing the earth's veins was arranged by Zhao Changsheng. Liu Niang lurked in Wuchang City, and he lured Jiangxia Man to help Po Liu and Han Baling.

The matter was originally flawless, but unexpectedly, Po Liu Han Baling turned against them, causing the plan to fail.

The people hiding in the underground palace were indeed Tujia people, but they had nothing to do with Jiangxia Man. Instead, they were a chieftain of the Miao village during the Song Dynasty, named Peng Sanli.

Although he is a Miao, he is obsessed with Taoism.

During the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, the power of ghost cults had infiltrated the court. Feng Shui master Lai Buyi offended the powerful and left his post. He was chased on the way, but was fortunately rescued by the chieftain Peng Sanli.

During the period of recuperation, Peng Sanli followed him and learned many Feng Shui secrets. After Lai Buyi left, he stepped into the surrounding mountains and rivers and discovered the corpse-keeping ground under the tomb of the Barbarian King.

It was nothing at first, but this chieftain also encountered many of the problems that people in the Xuanmen sect had to deal with. He was about to die, but his cultivation was not yet complete.

He was unwilling to give in, and it happened that Zhao Changsheng, who was the leader of the Ghost Cult in his previous life, Zhang Huaisu, tracked Lai Buyi here and tempted him to practice the "Yin Corpse Longevity Method".

The "Yinshi Longevity Method" is the evil method practiced by the demon in the bronze coffin that Li Yan found in the river in Zigui County.

That monster was none other than Luo Xing, the disciple of Tongtian Sanniang.

The "Yin Corpse Longevity Method" can transform an old Yin person into a demon corpse and achieve immortality. The method of cultivation is also different according to the Five Elements.

The one in Zigui County practices water magic.

Peng Sanli, on the other hand, practiced traditional methods, and Zhao Changsheng also made some adjustments to incorporate the Taoist "Taiyin Body Refining Technique" into it.

Zhao Changsheng lied to Peng Sanli, saying that he could cultivate to become an earth immortal, but at most he could become a corpse immortal, which was no different from a demon.

To put it bluntly, he is Zhao Changsheng's experimental subject.

This hairless thing in front of me is still far from being a corpse immortal, but it has another resounding name: Incorruptible Bone!
Its body is as hard as iron, its strength far exceeds that of ordinary zombies, and it is full of evil energy, so it can use magic.

The overall Feng Shui plan of the Four Symbols disturbing the earth's veins has now failed. If he can't even do the task at hand, Zhao Changsheng will definitely not forgive him.

Thinking of this, the old man Ge Lai Chong held his breath, took out a white bead from his arms and threw it out.

Roar!
When the Undying Bone Monster smelled it, it immediately went crazy. It dodged and jumped into the air, swallowing the white bead into its mouth.

Afterwards, the incorruptible aura seemed to be suppressed, its body stiffened, and it fell straight to the ground.

The old man Ge Lai Chong suddenly jumped out, took out a copper talisman from his arms, stuffed it into Buhuagu's mouth, lit incense, and according to the secret method taught by Zhao Changsheng, he shook the prayer flags and muttered something.

Call ~
A chilly wind suddenly blew in the tomb.

The ground became bone-chillingly cold, and then billowing black fog rose up, rolling and surging, vaguely forming the hideous face of an old man, and finally attached to the body of the Unchanging Bones.

Afterwards, this incorruptible body began to tremble violently, and its head swayed abnormally. It growled and chanted strange spells.

It took half an incense stick of time for him to calm down before his bones were dissolved.

It suddenly opened its eyes and stood up straight. Its blood-red eyes no longer had the bloodthirsty madness from before, but instead carried a kind of indifference that came from having seen through all the vicissitudes of life.

"It" looked at its hands with blood-red claws again, with some confusion in its eyes, and looked at the old man opposite.

The old man's eyes lit up with joy, and he quickly bowed and saluted:

"I am Ge Lai Chong, your subordinate, and I am here to greet Commander Huang Zhang!"

The person who came back to life before him was none other than the former leader of the Ezhou Ghost Cult, Master Huang Liu.

Zhao Changsheng traveled to various places. No matter whether it was the earthly immortal bodies of Liu Gang and his wife, or the undead zombie in front of him, they were all the flesh bodies he prepared for important figures in the sect!
Originally, this body had not yet taken shape and turned into a corpse fairy, but Tongtian Sanniang of Yelang Ancient Road failed, so Zhao Changsheng immediately sent a message, asking them to awaken the body in advance and help Master Huang Liu return to life.

Po Liu Han Baling was just a training target of Zhao Changsheng, but the only person he truly trusted in Ezhou and relied on as his right-hand man was the famous Master Huang Liu.

We need manpower urgently right now. Even if the layout of the Four Symbols Formation fails, we must ensure that Master Huang Liu returns to life smoothly!
Although Master Huang Liu was a zombie, his spirit had returned to his body. After listening to the old man's account of the current situation, there was no surprise on his face. Instead, he looked into the distance and murmured in a vicissitudes of life voice:
"Master, are you finally going to take action?"

Ge Lai Chong didn't know what he meant, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He quickly took out the red Mohe from his arms and handed it to him respectfully, "Sir, in your current state, you will be struck by lightning when you go out. Please take this with you."

"Also, the Zen monks have surrounded the Barbarian King's Tomb. We must break out and leave quickly!"

…………

Rumble!
There were lightning and thunder in the sky and it was cloudy and rainy.

It was approaching dusk, and the sky was becoming increasingly cloudy and darker.

Below the Barbarian King’s Tomb, several old monks were looking at the sky.

The clouds rolling in from the Turtle and Snake Mountains were about to disperse the White Tiger Evil, and the thick fog in the distance was gradually dissipating.

An old monk was making hand gestures, his eyes gleaming with brilliance.

"over there!"

The White Tiger Evil dissipated and his magical powers were no longer affected.

Behind them, the garrison troops were already in place, with more than a dozen Portuguese cannons deployed.

"put!"

As he pointed out the location, the commander of the garrison immediately gave orders.

Boom boom boom!
Instantly, artillery roared, mud flew everywhere on the opposite hill, and trees and tents hidden in them were torn apart...
