Chapter 107: Self-protection, the essence of corpse transformation (Alliance Leader plus more)

Jiankang court.

All the ministers stood in silence and shouted long live the emperor.

Liu Rong had a calm expression and ordered all the ministers to stand up.

The State of Song had been established for more than ninety years, and its national strength was stable and the country was peaceful.

Standing next to Liu Rong was an old man who seemed to be half asleep. This man was the source of his confidence.

This is the eunuch Rama trained by his grandfather Liu Jun. Rama is a constant attendant in the imperial court and a master-level expert. He does not care about political affairs, does not distinguish between right and wrong, and only protects the emperor's safety.

The ministers were divided into two factions: one was the central faction headed by Shangshu Liang Zheng and Xiao Ziliang of the Xiao family of Kuaiji, and the other was the local faction headed by Lin Teng of the Lin family of Wujun and Xiao Zhao of the Xiao family of Lanling.

Each power was deeply rooted, and the family had been deeply involved in the court for decades. Liu Rong felt a sense of panic.

He is the emperor, and these people are the bad guys who are preventing him from gaining power.

Liu Rong thought.

This person has always had character flaws and has never been able to surpass his brother since childhood. If his brother had not died early, he probably would not have been able to obtain the throne.

No matter what, the emperor has the power to kill people. Anyway, they have Rama and two masters of the tribe to protect them, so they dare not resist.

The meeting is over.

Lin Teng, the descendant of Lin Jian, Xiao Zhao, the descendant of Liu Yilong's maternal grandfather, and other aristocratic families were whispering in a corner.

"The destruction of the Tan family may be the work of Li Hongwen." Lin Teng looked very much like his great-grandfather, with a pair of three white eyes, as if containing infinite calculations. "Li Hongwen must have the six treasures of the Heavenly Master, otherwise he would not have eliminated the people of the Tan family so quickly."

"It seems we have to take action. Martial arts alone are not enough. We must have a secret treasure to protect us."

"Don't provoke Li Hongwen for now. We support Liu Rong and let them mess up the court and strike at the power of the Liang family."

After Lin Jian's death, the Lin family lived in peace for a while. After all, they were the family of Liu Yifeng's grandfather, and Liu Yifeng did not kill them all.

After Liu Yifeng passed away, the Lin family surrendered to Liu Yilong and finally succeeded in turning the tables and returning to the stage.

It was these people and later emperors who invisibly erased the contributions of Liu Yifeng and Liang Yue.

Now he is eyeing the Six Treasures of Heavenly Master.

……

Liuzhuang, Qingshan Garden.

"The Misty Formless Palm!"

Wow!
Li Hu struck out with his palm, and lime sprayed out five meters.

"Bone spurs dissolve!"

A dark liquid spurted out of the bamboo tube in his sleeve, which corroded a big hole in the tree.

"Good man, spare my life!"

Li Hu knelt down with a thud, then kowtowed. The moment his head kowtowed, two poisoned broken arrows shot out from the back of his collar.

"Needle in mouth, brass knuckles, thorns in chest, needle hidden in palm..."

At the stone table under the shade of a tree, Li Hongwen's mouth twitched, and his eyes were already looking for the rattan.

Bao Zhao covered his head and shook his head.

"Great-grandfather, Great-grandfather Bao, how is my grandson's martial arts?" Li Hu looked like he was presenting a treasure.

This is the latest skill he developed.

From head to toe, everything is a weapon.

"You..." Li Hongwen was so angry that his beard was shaking. However, when he thought of his master's instructions, he forced himself to suppress his "murderous intent".

Bao Zhao shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying:

"The world is in chaos because of you."

This makes sense. Whether it is a sneak attack or a frontal combat, the warriors actually have a certain bottom line and certain unspoken rules.

There will be people who go back on their words, but not like this one where they have no bottom line just to win.

Especially the so-called "Good Man Spare Life" skill. In Bao Zhao's eyes, it was more lethal than Li Hongwen's "Dragon Assassination". Stones, bamboos and weeds could be used as weapons. He never thought that even dignity could be used as a weapon.

"Thank you for your praise, Great Grandfather Bao. Xuanwu is calling me, so I will go over first."

Li Hu was afraid of being beaten, so he disappeared in a flash.

The two of them drank tea under the tree, feeling contented and talking about the past.

"It's a lot quieter here." Bao Zhao suddenly said.

"Indeed."

Li Hongwen closed his eyes slightly, as if he had returned to the paradise on earth.

After a long while, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Bao Qian, and said:
"Let's work together to wipe out the other small families. As for the big families in Jiankang, let's wait for Master to come back and deal with them."

"Alright."

Small families such as the Xu, Song, and Yang families were all descendants of the former troops. Not satisfied with sharing the inheritance of Liuzhuang, they even participated in the siege of Liuzhuang.

These people had to be killed.

"Li Hu, you stay here to look after the house!"

"okay!"

The two men traveled the world with swords, settling accounts with all the families one by one.

On the other hand, Liu Rong became more and more violent in the court, often killing ministers for various reasons. Sometimes, when he was in a good mood, he would shoot an arrow at a minister's belly button, frightening the minister to flee. He often took his entourage out for fun during the day and returned to the palace at dusk.

The common people of Jiankang, their followers, slaves, and even the wives and daughters of officials all fell victim to his murderous hands.

For a time, people in the government and the country were in panic.

At this moment, the black bird swallow stopped and walked along the way and flew to Longxi County.

In the wilderness, a black bird landed on a treetop and transformed into a man in a white robe.

This place is the birthplace of Li Hongwen's family.

There are several villages scattered around, most of which are inhabited by Han people.

Liang Yue looked into the distance. Unlike the south, there were no continuous mountains here. Most of it was low hills, and apart from the hills there were plains.

"It seems we can only use the old method."

night.

The moon is bright in the sky and everything is quiet.

Liang Yue found a secluded place, conjured up a three-meter-high coffin, and lay down in the coffin.

A mysterious light flashed on the surface of the coffin, and it was completely locked, unable to be opened from the outside.

Then the soul left the body.

Searching everywhere in the sky and on the ground.

The search continued for several days.

Finally, a narrow tomb chamber was discovered hundreds of feet underground.

The tomb was not big, it was a stone chamber with a wooden coffin. When the coffin was opened, a rotten corpse was lying inside. The skull was intact, but there was a hole between the eyebrows.

It is not acquired, but a natural hole.

Next to the corpse was a pile of parchments. One of the parchments had a nine-story tower drawn on it, and below it was a text that resembled a martial arts technique.

"My ancestor's name is Kun. He was once a follower of the divine silkworm Cong. Later, he married a girl from the silkworm clan and gave birth to a descendant of the Heavenly Eye bloodline. However, he was not born a winged person, and his bloodline was disturbed, so he became a short-lived species... The spiritual energy catastrophe, this merit is left for future generations to cultivate the Heavenly Eye and break the bloodline curse."

"Eye of the Sky?"

The so-called third eye is actually the third eye between the eyebrows. It is the source of Cancong's divine power. It has the ability to know everything, emit divine light, and illuminate the underworld.

This treasure is the method for cultivating the third eye.

Liang Yue carefully read the Heavenly Eye Method.

The Li ancestors asked their descendants to cultivate immortality first, prolong their lifespan, suppress the curse, and then try to open the third eye.

The conditions for cultivating the Third Eye are harsh, and the process of opening it will cause a person to age rapidly, requiring about a hundred years of life.

This lifespan is nothing to the immortal Cancongyu people, but it is life-threatening for humans to practice cultivation.

"Is it aging, or is it shortening lifespan?"

Liang Yue has the blood of the Heavenly Eye, so he can actually practice according to this method, but he has a doubt.

It is definitely not okay to deduct lifespan, this is definitely not the destiny.

If it accelerates the aging of the physical body, like entering a time machine; then, can this method of opening the third eye be used as a shortcut to quickly pass through this life?

This era is actually not very good.

The era of human immortals has not yet begun, and even if it does, martial arts will not develop rapidly.

It would be best to wake up during the heyday of the Human Immortal Era and pick the fruit directly.

The human-immortal era will be twenty-three years later, when Liang Yue will be forty years old, and Taoism will decline soon after that.

"Forget it, I'll go back and study it slowly." Liang Yue put all the things away in one go.

The soul returns to the body.

At this time, the sun rises, and the northern sky is unobstructed and magnificent.

Liang Yue put away the coffin and walked across the plain on foot. His mind was not on the scenery.

"Taiyi guards the corpse, the corpse is reborn, and the body returns to youth..."

He seemed to have touched upon the essence of Taiyi's corpse-guarding technique.

The corpse-transmutation immortal cultivates the spirit and soul, and the body is useless. Why does Taiyi's corpse-guarding method go to the trouble of preserving the body?
Just keep it and restore it every time.

Think about the method of the third eye and its side effects.

Liang Yue tried to connect the clues, and his mind suddenly became clear.

"Reincarnation from the corpse, the Qi and internal energy that do not belong to the original body, as well as the injuries and illnesses are all erased and restored."

"But magical powers and bloodlines are different. The magical powers are rooted in the soul and the bloodline is integrated into the body, just like the hands, feet, ears and nose. Isn't it possible to cultivate some magical powers and bloodlines with extremely serious side effects? Or even quickly master magic skills?"

For example, a certain bloodline with supernatural powers is not innate, and it will have side effects after combining with oneself, causing unpredictable consequences.

But as long as the corpse reincarnation is activated, the side effects will be eliminated and the supernatural powers and bloodline will still exist.

Every reincarnation is an opportunity to integrate supernatural powers and bloodline.

Perhaps, this is the essence of Taiyi guarding the corpse.

This is the method of protecting one’s own self.
