Uncle Jiu: I am Chen Yulou, the leader of the Xiangling gang

Chapter 50, Tomb Raiders

There are generally three types of soldiers and horses. The first are the soldiers and horses from the altar, that is, the heavenly soldiers. However, if you want to borrow the heavenly soldiers, you must first be strong yourself, and then have the help of the heavenly ancestors. Secondly, there must be a major disaster, and you can't borrow them whenever you want.

Although it is possible to borrow soldiers from the altar, it is only theoretical.

The second is the Zhongtan soldiers, that is, the ghost soldiers of the underworld. They also need to be strong themselves and have the help of the ancestors in heaven. They don’t need to be in a big disaster, but they can’t be borrowed at will.

Compared with heavenly soldiers, ghost soldiers should not be difficult to borrow. At least in Chen Yulou's opinion, Uncle Jiu may not be able to borrow heavenly soldiers, but as long as he wants to borrow ghost soldiers, it should not be difficult.

The last are the soldiers from Xiatan, which are the Maoshan Yin Army trained by Maoshan itself. As long as you have the Maoshan military talisman, you can recruit the Maoshan Yin Army at any time.

"You mean, this Yin military method is the same as the method we use in Maoshan to train Maoshan soldiers?" Qiu Sheng said with some surprise.

Chen Yulou immediately shook his head and said, "It's definitely impossible to be the same, but I suspect this Yin Military Technique may have come from a branch of our Zhengyi Sect."

Not all Taoist sects can train Yin soldiers. Most of them are branches of Zhengyi Dao. So this Yin military method is very likely to have been spread from a branch of Zhengyi Dao.

You should know that the inheritance of each Taoist branch is unique and will never be passed on to outsiders. Even if you are from the same Taoist sect, it is taboo to practice the secret texts of other branches.

If the secret code of a small branch is leaked, although it can only lead to public condemnation, it will still damage the reputation of one's own sect. If the secret code of a large branch is leaked, it may trigger conflicts among Taoist sects.

However, as long as it is not spread outside and known to everyone, there will be no big problem. Moreover, with this Yin Army Method, when he gets the Maoshan Yin Army Method in the future, he will have two methods to train the Yin Army. Because the Yin Army Method of each Taoist sect must have its own strengths, the two different Yin Army Methods can complement each other, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and maybe they can train a more comprehensive and powerful Yin Army.

Chen Yuliu wanted to train the Yin Army for another purpose, which was tomb robbing. The tombs in the tomb robbing world were all extremely dangerous. Although there was no shortage of people in Xiangling, if he lost tens of thousands of brothers at once like his predecessor did in the tomb of King Xian in Yunnan, the consequences would be too great.

Although his predecessor had only lost a pair of eyes, the loss of elite brothers meant the demise of the Xiangling lineage, and having no wife or children meant that the Chen family of Changsheng Mountain would be cut off from the incense. With the loss of so many brothers, the pension alone would definitely bankrupt the family.

Family, sect, money, all turned to nothingness, and in the end, the predecessor was left with nothing. For a hero like Chen Yulou, such a result was far more cruel than the punishment of losing his life.

So, even though the Xiangling lineage has a large number of people, he doesn't want to follow the old path of his predecessors. Not to mention cause and effect, they are also living lives!

But if he had the Yin Army, those mysterious tombs would be nothing to worry about for him.

Qiu Sheng immediately looked at Chen Yulou and said, "Junior Brother, I heard Master mention the Yin Army before. We need to recruit mountain spirits and ghosts, but they are not easy to find. Moreover, training the Yin Army is not only extremely complicated, but most importantly, it is difficult to form an army in a short period of time!"

“Sometimes the gain is not worth the loss!”

Qiu Sheng obviously did not approve of training the Yin Army.

"Senior brother, it's okay. I'll go back and ask the master first!" Chen Yulou looked at Qiu Sheng and smiled.

Then he put the Yin Military Method into the cowhide bag.

It would be great if Uncle Jiu had a Yin Army. If we allocated a part of it to him, he would immediately be able to form a fighting force, but Uncle Jiu probably doesn't have a Yin Army.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Sheng nodded and said no more. He had no interest in the Yin Army anyway, so he might as well use that time to improve his own cultivation.

After checking the spoils, Qiu Sheng went to the corridor leading to the backyard and asked the guard stationed there to notify Zheng Tianming.

After a while, Zheng Tianming hurried to the backyard.

He scanned the entire backyard and saw that the spirit baby was gone, which made his pale face look sad.

After a while, Zheng Tianming finally relaxed his expression. He quickly came to Chen Yulou and Qiu Sheng, bowed and asked, "Two Taoist priests, has the salvation... been completed?"

Chen Yulou nodded and said, "They have been sent into the reincarnation cycle!" Zheng Tianming immediately bowed to Chen Yulou and Qiu Sheng and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Taoist priests. I have asked my servants to prepare a banquet. Please move on!"

"There's no need to hold a banquet in the middle of the night. We also need to rest!" Chen Yulou immediately refused after hearing this.

Then, he glanced at the corpse of the demon Wang Si in the distance, and then looked at Zheng Tianming again and said, "Oh, there's one more thing. I hope Master Zheng can bury this demon's corpse tomorrow!"

"Please rest assured, Taoist priests. I will have someone deal with the body of this demon properly right away." Zheng Tianming quickly asked the housekeeper Qu Dehai to direct two guards to carry Wang Si's body out of the backyard.

Chen Yulou looked at Qiu Sheng and said, "Brother, you should go back and rest first. I'll go to the main room and clear out the evil spirit inside!"

"Row!"

Qiu Sheng nodded immediately and left the backyard.

Chen Yulou walked into the main house in the backyard. Although the spirit baby was gone, the evil spirit inside was not so easy to dissipate for a while, and this was exactly his favorite environment for practice.

Just as daybreak was about to break, a dark and gloomy aura appeared in the Zheng Mansion again.

"The devil is coming again?"

"Who died?"

Chen Yulou, who was practicing, immediately opened his eyes, looked out the window, and frowned.

This familiar dark aura was obviously caused by ghosts coming from the underworld. The person must have died, for ghosts would come to take away the soul.

Suddenly, he thought of someone, then shook his head, closed his eyes and continued practicing.

Sure enough, as soon as the sky brightened, the maids, servants, and guards in the Zheng Mansion began to hang white cloths everywhere.

In the hall, Chen Yulou and Qiu Sheng looked at each other and both shook their heads.

That's right!

Mrs. Zheng hanged herself last night.

Although Mrs. Zheng did make mistakes, her crime definitely does not deserve the death penalty.

"Mr. Zheng, please accept my condolences and take care of your health!"

Chen Yulou looked at Zheng Tianming. Zheng Tianming, who was sitting in the main seat, looked even worse than last night.

Hearing Chen Yulou's words, Zheng Tianming immediately sighed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Taoist Chen. I'm fine!"

This morning, when he learned that Mrs. Zheng had hanged herself, it took him a while to come back to his senses. Although he hated Mrs. Zheng so much after learning the truth last night, after calming down, he actually didn't hate his first wife that much.

After all, apart from deceiving him for more than ten years about her infertility and doing evil things to her maid Lanying, this woman has been very supportive of him over the past ten years.

He is not an animal. After more than ten years, how could he not have feelings? Although he could not forgive this woman and was ready to divorce her and drive her out of the Zheng family, he absolutely had no intention of killing her.
