I was forced to cultivate immortality when I just wanted to lie down

Chapter 32 Taoist Soldiers
The art of double-dealing is that one person has two faces, a smile hiding a knife, and can kill people without being seen.

The cat-faced zombie behind him suddenly had its pupils shrunken into needles, and the hair on its face stood up in horror!

A normal person suddenly has a face growing on the back of his head, grinning at you sinisterly. This would also feel weird if it happened to a zombie!

The cat-faced zombie was obviously much smarter than the first two zombies. When it saw Xu Qing smile, it immediately stretched out its sharp claws and cut towards the back of the other's neck.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it will immediately retreat backwards and keep its distance.

The cat-faced zombie's brain works as fast as its body reacts, but someone is faster than it.

In the silent night, a cold light flashed across.

Just like a fleeting glimpse of a beauty, it disappears in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the two-faced young man, who had drawn and sheathed his knife, pointed the back of his head towards the alley entrance in a twisted posture.

"Who wouldn't be two-faced?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cat-faced zombie's sharp claws and head fell to the ground behind Xu Qing.

In the alley, the sinister man who claimed to be seeking peace but actually harbored evil intentions completely collapsed.

"This is not the way to carry corpses. Who are you?"

It's no wonder he felt fear. The corpse driver's method has always been to manipulate corpses. Once the controlled zombies fail to stop the enemy, the person behind the scenes will be like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

This is also the reason why he is unwilling to believe that Xu Qing is just a corpse driver.

After all, which corpse driver could fight better than the zombies he raised?

At the entrance of the alley, Xu Qing, who saw the night as day, had already seen the figure hidden in the alley.

He was a middle-aged man wearing a long gown, with sunken eyes, a pale face and a mournful look.

Xu Qing's neck twisted with a crackling sound, and the two faces merged into one again.

He did not respond to the other party's question, but tightened the diamond knuckles on his hand and walked into the narrow alley with steady steps.

He wanted to let the other party experience what it felt like to be beaten by society.

After a few breaths, Xu Qing pulled the dying corpse driver up from the ground.

"There are still a lot of gold and silver treasures where I am staying. Young man, if you can spare my life, I will lead you to the right place, and all those treasures will be yours."

Xu Qing remained unmoved and raised his fist indifferently. The powerful strength contained in the armored corpse's body suddenly erupted.

The next moment, liquid began to drip from his Vajra Knuckles. He shook off the red and white stuff, wiped it on the body of the completely dead corpse driver, and then carried today's unexpected gain and walked out of the alley.

Tonight, in addition to the corpse driver he was carrying on his back, there were three corpses of the same kind of zombies scattered not far away. At this time, Xu Qing was like an old farmer who had received a good harvest, loading all the corpses onto the cart.

This sudden change came suddenly and went away quickly, like a rainstorm. When the sound of the night watchman knocking on the gong was heard in the distance, Xu Qing had already pushed the cart and was back on the road.

There have been frequent disturbances in Linhefang recently. Not only are there refugees from outside, but there are also some underworld figures or forces with unclear intentions doing shady things.

As Xu Qing walked along, he found that there were obviously many more patrol soldiers than usual.

Many times, officials are more difficult to deal with than ghosts.

Fortunately, his five senses were sharp, and his aura-gazing technique allowed him to detect in advance the strong popularity of the night patrol soldiers when they were patrolling the streets, so he did not have a direct contact with them.

As Xu Qingfu pushed the cart into the newly purchased courtyard, a rich, cool breeze wafted across his face. He involuntarily breathed in the unique aroma of a haunted house, instantly feeling every pore of his body relax. After closing the gate and unloading the cargo, he discovered more than a dozen bodies lined up in the dark courtyard.

When the dark clouds dispersed and the moon half showed its face to illuminate the haunted house, it not only failed to dispel the evil, but made the whole courtyard look even colder and more eerie.

In addition to the useless corpses piled up by the coroner, there were four new corpses that had not yet been exorcised.

There was no one to disturb him in the courtyard at this time, which was much safer than staying in the streets and alleys before. Xu Qing looked at the four new corpses on the ground at his mercy, like a flower thief who broke into the boudoir at night, his eyes faintly glowing green.

He rubbed his hands excitedly, his heart full of anticipation after the harvest. In his eyes, these corpses could all be scraped out for rewards from the Sutra of Saving People. Not to mention four, even if there were forty of them, he would not be at all disappointed.

Just like that, in this haunted house that was already eerie and unlike the human world, there was another necrophile who brought all kinds of corpses into the house all day long.

In the house, there is the ups and downs of the sea of ​​desire, and the pages of the Sutra of Salvation are turning.

The past lives of several corpses appeared before Xu Qing's eyes like slides.

Inside and out, it's all about human nature, good and evil, and grudges and hatred.

What concerned him most was the corpse driver's past life.

The corpse driver's real name was Shi Jiulu. He was an ordinary corpse driver, but on his way to Nancuo to drive corpses, he happened to meet people from the Zongwu Mansion in Shu who were conscripting soldiers.

Shi Jiulu was unable to resist and was forced to be recruited into the Zhoushan army to become a soldier in the fight against the invasion of Nancuo State.

During this period, a general of the guards learned that he was a corpse driver in the underworld business, so he sent him to a special military camp for training.

This military camp has a special name, called "Daobing".

There are only three families in Shu that can command Taoist soldiers on a large scale. Apart from the Zongwu Mansion, the Yin family and the Gongsun family are more famous.

But this kind of fame is only limited to battle.

Shi Jiulu served in the army for six years, four of which he spent in the Taoist military camp practicing the method of cultivating corpse soldiers.

The Yin family excels at the Four Symbols Soldiers, the Gongsun family excels at the Ghost Beast Soldiers, and the Zongwu Mansion excels at controlling the Corpse Soldiers!
When Xu Qing saw this, he felt that his entire concept was refreshed again.

He originally thought that being turned into a corpse worker after death and grinding and mining all day long was already inhumane enough, but he didn't expect that there would be an even greater blessing to come!
Xu Qing tried to see the scene of corpse soldiers charging into the battle formation through Shi Jiulu's ticker tape, but he never expected that Shi Jiulu had just arrived at the front line and before he saw the Nancuo witch soldiers, he teamed up with several corpse drivers who were also captured to serve in the military service, sneaked into the mountains, and then traveled all the way to Tianjin.

He thought the other party was an experienced veteran, but he didn't expect that he was a deserter who fled from the battlefield.

Xu Qing continued to read.

After Shi Jiulu and his companions arrived in Linhe, they resumed their old business and earned a living by driving and refining corpses.

However, Shi Jiulu was cunning by nature. Seeing that he could not make much money by driving and refining corpses, he began to control the corpse soldiers to kill people and plunder goods.

His first target was Xu Qing, who was wealthy and powerful, and who had driven up the price of corpses by buying up all the unclaimed corpses in the government office.

When Xu Qing saw this, he knew that tonight’s incident had just begun and was not over yet!
When Shi Jiulu was dying, he promised him gold, silver and treasures, saying that he would take him to his own place to get money and ward off disasters.
But after reading the other party's memory, Xu Qing knew that the other party's sacrifice of money to save his life was fake, and his real intention was to lure him into the thieves' den!

Because in the place Shi Jiulu mentioned, there are still two corpse drivers living there!

Xu Qing's eyes flickered, and he finally suppressed all his thoughts and looked at the harvest.

Among the four corpses, three were of the lower grade of the human character, and only Shi Jiulu's corpse reached the upper grade of the human character.

Looking at the rewards from the Sutra of Saving People, there was a method for raising zombie soldiers, a white-seal military talisman for controlling Taoist soldiers, and some ordinary skills gained from the other three zombies, such as chopping wood and building a stove, rowing a boat, and rolling dice, all of which were small daily skills.
