Chapter 17 Auspicious Day to Refine Corpses!
"Haha, this is my Han son!!"
The world is in chaos, and the court is full of rotten wood officials.
Refugees are everywhere, and barbarians are knocking on the gates.
Any Han son with a conscience will not watch unspeakable things happen.
"Have you learned to drive corpses? If you know the method of driving corpses, you can be considered to have truly learned Chenzhou Fu."
"No..." Xu Xuan talked about the problem of driving corpses. Since he decided to pull Li Hu into the group, he would tell the truth. Maybe Li Hu has the method of the ancients.
This world has no spiritual energy, and the difficulty is not at the same level as the mirror world.
Li Hu is the true successor of the way of driving corpses, and he should know some secret methods passed down from ancient times.
"To refine corpses by living people, someone must take the initiative to cooperate. What do you think of me?"
Li Hu's words shocked Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan raised his head and looked at the old man in disbelief.
"Why?"
"For my family and for my country." Li Hu had a blank expression on his face, and he had long been determined to die. "I am not trying to alienate you brothers. Xu Feng is a restless man. You will have a war sooner or later. If not, it's fine. If so, please let me take revenge with my own hands."
As for the country, it is mainly to deal with the barbarians.
Having been controlled by the barbarians for many years, Li Hu hates the barbarians the most and knows their cruelty.
If Xu Xuan wants to deal with the barbarians in the future, he is willing to contribute.
"I must deal with the barbarians. As for whether it will be sooner or later, we need to see." Xu Xuan said.
Dealing with the barbarians is mainly for personal interests.
If the historical process is correct, then the barbarians will cause great damage to traditions. There were few things that were passed down thousands of years ago. After the destruction of war, it is estimated that nothing will be left.
Relying on the mirror alone is not enough. The mirror can only provide some spiritual resources, and it is not as difficult to obtain the treasure as yourself.
Xu Xuan has a Phoenix Stone in his hand, and he plans to use it when he reaches a bottleneck.
"But I don't recommend you to do this kind of thing. Maybe a death row prisoner is also good."
The death row prisoner may not cooperate, so he can also use deception.
Li Hu shook his head and refused, saying: "I don't have a few months to live. I know something about the method of driving corpses, so it's just right for you to gain experience."
Xu Xuan was about to say something, but Li Hu interrupted impatiently and said: "As the successor of Chenzhou's talisman method, the biggest regret in my life is that I can't comprehend the great way. Now that you have this magical power, I am also involved. Let me experience it again before I die!"
"Okay, give me three days, and start when the materials are delivered."
"It's a deal."
Xu Xuan put his hand on Li Hu's back, input the true qi, and cleanse his body for him.
"Sense the true qi carefully, and then you will absorb the spiritual energy according to the calming mantra."
Sensing the mysterious energy running in his body, Li Hu couldn't help but sigh at the magic of this method.
The two came to Tianwen Palace on the mountain.
On the left side of the palace is the practice hall, with simple facilities, a table with miscellaneous talisman papers, a few cushions on the ground, and a large word "Jing" hanging on the wall.
Xu Xuan took out a thumb-sized spiritual stone from his arms.
"Hold it in your hand and attract spiritual energy. You will do this for the next three days."
"Okay."
Li Hu sat cross-legged and entered a state of visualization.
Xu Xuan came to the table beside him, picked up the foxtail pen, spread out the straw paper, concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, and finished it in one go.
The result was naturally failure.
Xu Xuan still did not give up, writing over and over again, adjusting over and over again, and a pile of thick draft paper covered the table.
This is practicing the corpse-fixing talisman and the corpse-driving talisman.
While drawing the talisman, compare it with the information on the mirror on the chest.
Corpse-fixing talisman (small success 3%) Corpse-driving talisman (small success 8%).
In the past few months, I have practiced two talismans every day.
Even the armor horse talisman and the levitation technique were not practiced. These two spells were actually useless. When the proficiency was low, the levitation technique had to be at least perfect or perfect before it could be used for short-term low-altitude flight. If the proficiency was a little lower, it could only be used as a target in the air.
Soon, the proficiency began to rise.
This mirror would not add points, but it was more intuitive with proficiency, and you could know whether you did something wrong.
It was like a famous teacher correcting his mistakes at all times.
After practicing the talisman technique, you also have to use your true energy to refine the corpse-driving bell.
Half an hour later, Li Hu woke up, returned the spirit stone to Xu Xuan, and said with a wry smile: "I couldn't sense the spiritual energy. It seems that I don't have the qualifications."
"No hurry, wait a little longer."
Three days later.
In the morning, a large vat was set up in the backyard, with a flame burning underneath.
The vat was boiling water, and Xu Xuan stood beside the vat, holding the medicinal materials in his hand and put them in one by one.
"Peony, fairy seed, lotus seed pod, placenta, dog bone ash, arsenic, heartbreak grass, strong liquor, centipede..."
Add the herbs and boil, and the water in the water tank becomes dark and turbid.
Li Hu folded his arms and watched leisurely.
He liked the feeling of studying magic, in an era without longevity magic, to break through the limits that ordinary people don't have.
"You know, if I were fifty years younger, I would definitely kill people and steal treasures." Li Hu said with a smile.
Xu Xuan said without even turning his head: "If you had only a few months to live, I would have killed you if you had one more year to live."
"Haha!" Li Hu laughed. He was relieved. Even if he hadn't reminded him, Xu Xuan would not be plotted against. On the contrary, it was good enough that he didn't plot against anyone.
Even though they had a good relationship, Xu Xuan looked careless. In fact, he was always on guard.
Li Hu didn't care about this. Those who achieved great things had a common characteristic of being suspicious. They would not allow others to snore beside them. Even parents and children would not share secrets.
Another kind was decisive. Since they had chosen to do something or someone, they would keep doing it.
After the flames went out and the potion cooled, Li Hu took off his clothes, revealing his old and strong body.
He entered the tank.
"Hum..."
Intense pain came, as if countless knives were cutting his flesh. Li Hu's face flushed and his veins bulged.
"Hold on! Sense the spiritual energy!" Xu Xuan shouted and woke Li Hu up.
Li Hu calmed his mind, held the spirit stone in his hand, and sensed the spiritual energy.
In fact, this was not to make Li Hu cultivate true energy, but to let the spiritual energy enter his body.
Use artificial methods to put the spiritual energy into the body to meet the conditions for corpse refining.
The day when the spiritual energy was officially taken into Li Hu's body was the time to start refining the corpse.
Xu Xuan stared at the side, fearing that he would miss a step.
Be sure to observe the corpse refining of living people and master the method of refining corpses of dead people, otherwise it would be a waste of Li Hu's sacrifice.
There are no immortals in this world.
The immortal path is difficult. Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi used all the alchemists in the country, but there was no good ending.
Xu Xuan wanted to walk out his own way of sublimation in this world.
Rise from humble beginnings and embark on the road of immortality.
Days passed one by one, and Li Hu's skin became dark and hardened by boiling medicine and refining his body every day, and the medicine penetrated into his internal organs.
"The joints are a little stiff... internal organs... back of the head..." Li Hu said his feelings. These were all valuable experiences, and Xu Xuan hurriedly wrote them down.
What I learned before was a minor spell, which any practitioner can learn. The way of driving corpses is a more advanced and professional spell, which cannot be learned by self-study.
Li Hu went from the original pain to the current numbness.
One of them did not retreat, and the other did not persuade, and continued to proceed according to the plan.
Fourteen days later.
"I sense the spiritual energy!"
Five more days.
The auspicious time has arrived.
At night, everything is silent and the moon is full.
A coffin is placed in the back hall, and Li Hu stands in front of the coffin.
"Let's start."
...
