Chapter 161 Bombardment of Tianshou Mountain
Under the shocked eyes of Chen Liancang and Chen Xiao, the mummy wearing a crown and a royal robe bit Zheng Yuantao's neck and began to swallow big gulps of blood.
As Zheng Yuantao's blood was absorbed, the mummy's body slowly became fuller as if it was being inflated.
The originally dry and black skin turned bronze at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Zheng Yuantao's body, who was held in his hand, slowly shrank like a deflated basketball.
While Emperor Taizu was "enjoying" the food, the two zombie eunuchs who were entangled with Chen Liancang flashed back to the dragon throne and guarded the dried corpse of Emperor Taizu.
Chen Liancang and Chen Xiao quickly gathered together, and Chen Xiao whispered, "Godfather, what should we do?"
Chen Liancang's expression changed slightly, and he whispered, "Retreat! Retreat slowly..."
"promise……"
The two of them slowly retreated, and the Taizu's mummy, which was originally devouring the essence and blood, suddenly turned around and glared at the two of them fiercely.
The two were startled and stopped immediately.
"what……!"
Finally, after more than ten breaths, all the blood in Zheng Yuantao's body was devoured by Taizu's mummy, and he was thrown to the ground and died.
The Emperor Taizu, who originally looked like a burnt mummy, now turned into a mummy with flesh and blood attached to his body.
His figure is still thin, but it is much better than before.
The skin and muscles of his entire body were bronze in color, and one could vaguely see the skull and sunken eye sockets on his face.
He stood up suddenly, and his tall figure stood upright on the coffin.
Looking at Chen Liancang and Chen Xiao, he suddenly jumped out of the coffin and slammed heavily in front of the two of them.
"what……!"
As soon as the Taizu zombie opened his mouth, an eerie and cold breath came out.
He opened and closed his mouth as if he was saying something, but what he said was not human language and the two could not understand it at all.
The Taizu zombie's eyes became more and more dangerous, and he sniffed the scent of the two people carefully.
Chen Liancang's heart moved, and he grabbed Chen Xiao and knelt down quickly.
"Your servants, Shadow Guard Chen Liancang and Chen Xiao, pay homage to Emperor Taizu!"
"Ha~"
This time, the Taizu zombie finally shifted his gaze and looked outside the door.
His dry nose kept sniffing something, as if he was trying to distinguish the smell in the air.
Chen Liancang and Chen Xiao, who were kneeling on the ground, still had their heads down. They were shocked to find that the Taizu zombie had actually passed them and was walking towards the door.
The two of them looked up quickly and looked at each other.
"Godfather?"
Chen Liancang's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly said, "Hurry up and follow me."
"Roar……!"
Suddenly, a roar was heard outside the hall, followed by the sound of fighting and wailing of pain.
The two of them rushed out of the hall, only to see that the more than one hundred Jinyiwei who followed them were actually fighting with Taizu's zombies!
Do not!
It should be called a massacre!
The Taizu zombie was actually slaughtering this group of Jinyiwei by himself!
The Embroidered Spring Sword in his hand slashed at the Taizu zombie, and only a spark flashed on his body, but there was no trace of injury on the Taizu zombie's body.
Instead, he grabbed a Jinyiwei and bit his neck with his big mouth, which was very ferocious.
For a moment, the face of the Taizu zombie was covered with blood and flesh, and there were more than a dozen shriveled corpses on the ground.
Hu Bafeng hid in the crowd and shouted in panic: "This, this is a bronze corpse! It is invulnerable to swords and guns, use firearms quickly!"
"boom!"
"Boom!"
Several Jinyiwei immediately took out their flintlock rifles and pulled the trigger at Taizu's zombie.
Several sparks immediately flashed on the Taizu zombie's body, and his body couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Roar!"
The Taizu zombie roared again and quickly pounced on the people around him.
Chen Liancang behind him shouted hurriedly: "Everyone! Get out of the mausoleum! Quick!"
"Lead him out!"
This place is narrow and dimly lit, which is perfect for the Taizu zombie to perform.
Moreover, Chen Liancang also suspected that the Taizu zombie was blessed by a special formation in the underground palace, otherwise those strange terracotta warriors would not move on their own.
After hearing this, many Jinyiwei retreated slowly and quickly, and after leaving behind more than a dozen corpses, they rushed into the underground capital outside.
"Roar……!!!"
Suddenly, the Taizu zombie roared, and a strange sound spread throughout the Taizu Imperial Mausoleum.
In an instant, one roar after another came from the darkness in the distance.
"Roar!"
"Hoohoo!!"
The entire Taizu Imperial Mausoleum seemed to come alive, with countless hairy zombies rushing in from all directions of the underground capital, rushing towards the retreating Jinyiwei.
Moreover, he waved his hand again, and the large number of terracotta warriors standing on the steps actually began to move.
"Crack!"
"Kakaka...!"
Under the incredulous gazes of Chen Liancang and Chen Xiao, at least tens of thousands of terracotta warriors began to move.
They gathered in front of Emperor Taizu and formed a huge military formation.
Emperor Taizu turned his head suddenly, opened his mouth wide, and a hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the ears of Chen Liancang and the others.
"Now, when is it?"
It seems that after absorbing so much blood, the strength of Taizu Zombie Emperor seems to have recovered a bit.
Even his memories that had been dormant for so many years began to slowly awaken.
Chen Liancang's heart moved, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, it is now the eighth year of Zhengyong."
"The eighth year of the Zhengei era? When was that?"
Taizu Zombie shook his head, his thoughts were still a little confused.
"How long has it been since I passed away?"
Chen Liancang calculated secretly and said immediately: "Your Majesty, three hundred and twenty-six years have passed since the original thirty-four years."
"Three hundred and twenty-six years? Only... three hundred and twenty-six years!!!"
"boom!"
A huge wave of air surged out from his body, almost knocking the two of them to the ground.
Chen Liancang was shocked. This aura... a cultivator?
Emperor Taizu is indeed a monk!
I just don’t know what realm it is?
Compared with the Fire Spirit of that day, what is the difference?
"The eighth year of the Zhengei era... the eighth year of the Zhengei era!"
Taizu Zombie gritted his teeth and then looked towards the Golden Palace.
The corpse that he had just devoured continued in a hoarse voice, "The descendant of the royal family whose blood I just sucked dry must be Emperor Zhengyong, right?"
Chen Liancang's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes!"
“Haha, hahahahaha…”
Taizu Zombie laughed in a deep voice and said, "Now that the royal family is leaderless, I should ascend the throne once again!"
"Aura, aura..."
Taizu Zombie spoke in a hoarse voice, and the army on the steps began to move slowly.
Emperor Taizu turned around and returned to the Golden Palace, not knowing what he was doing. Chen Liancang pulled Chen Xiao over and whispered, "Leave the Imperial Mausoleum quickly and report all matters here to His Majesty."
"In addition, there are these few things..."
"My son knows!"
Chen Xiaodao then slowly retreated and soon disappeared into the darkness.
He passed through many terracotta warriors and approached the underground capital.
The strange thing was that no one from the surrounding Terracotta Warriors tried to stop his actions, allowing him to enter the underground capital very smoothly.
However, Chen Liancang quietly came to the door of the Golden Palace and looked inside.
But the Taizu zombie leaned over and entered the coffin, and no one knew what he was looking for.
"Shadow Guard..."
At the same time, Tianshou Mountain Palace.
Chen Xiao used all his strength and ran down the mountain at a very fast speed, so fast that he even left an illusion in the air.
He had already rushed out long before the Jinyiwei and others rushed out of the underground capital.
In less than an incense stick of time, Chen Xiao had already rushed to the Tianshou Mountain Palace.
"Get out of the way! I have an urgent matter to report to His Majesty!"
Chen Xiao shouted loudly, and the surrounding imperial guards and palace guards did not dare to stop him, and soon they saw Zheng Yi.
"Your Majesty! Something bad is happening!"
When Chen Xiao saw Zheng Yi, he hurried over and knelt down to pay his respects.
"What happened?"
Chen Xiao was about to say something, but he looked around and said, "Your Majesty, please withdraw your presence."
"Everyone, get out."
"promise!"
The palace guards and eunuchs who filled the room left immediately.
Chen Xiao immediately said: "Your Majesty, it's bad, Emperor Taizu has woken up!"
Zheng Yi was surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Is such that……"
Through Chen Xiao's narration, Zheng Yi quickly found out what had happened.
"Is Emperor Taizu a monk?"
"Now you have turned into a zombie?"
"He thinks Zheng Yuantao is me?"
"Now he is leading the puppet zombies and wants to ascend the throne again?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zheng Yi touched his chin and asked, "How strong is this Taizu zombie?"
Chen Xiaodao: "According to godfather's speculation, he is probably in the late stage of Qi training and has not yet reached the foundation building stage."
"But this soldier is invulnerable to swords and guns, and is immune to water and fire. Ordinary swords and guns cannot hurt him at all."
"Later stage of Qi training?"
Zheng Yi frowned: "Can you find the classics of cultivation?"
Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "No, Godfather speculates that it is either on Taizu's zombie or in the golden coffin that was buried with him."
"Okay! I understand. Call the commander of the Imperial Guards and the new commander of the corps."
"promise!"
Zheng Yi said: "You were seriously injured when you entered the underground palace this time. I will never treat you unfairly."
"You must return to Tianshou Mountain immediately and order Hu Bafeng and Chen Jianping to leave the area of Tianshou Mountain immediately."
"promise!"
Soon, three figures walked in from outside the door.
"We, Zuo Zixiong, Gao Ruohai, and Zhu Tai, greet your majesty!"
These three people are all military generals newly promoted by Zheng Yi.
Their own strength may be a little weak, but they are loyal to Zheng Yi, and they are all from the imperial party, and they faithfully carry out Zheng Yi's orders.
"Be flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zheng Yi said directly: "Just now, the Jinyiwei reported that there are monsters causing chaos on Tianshou Mountain. It is the work of many rebel kings who secretly disturbed the previous emperors of Dayu."
"I order you to deploy your troops at the foot of the mountain immediately. Follow my orders and bombard Tianshou Mountain without any mistakes!"
"I humble my duty and obey my decree!"
The three of them immediately walked out of the palace and came to the military camp.
Soon, 50,000 imperial guards and 6,000 artillerymen took action.
Fifty thousand imperial guards were in the front, digging up good dogs and laying out deer antlers.
The infantry were in front, the spearmen were in the middle, the archers were in the back, and the cavalry were on both sides, waiting quietly.
Behind the archers were rows of neatly arranged red cannons, with boxes of well-prepared shells placed behind them, and all the artillery were ready for battle.
Zuo Zixiong and others also stood in front of the army, looking into the distance with the help of telescopes.
"Someone!"
"It's the Royal Guards!"
"It seems like someone is chasing them!"
“What kind of monster is that…!”
Soon, they discovered something.
Teams of Jinyiwei rushed down the mountain in a panic. Behind them were densely packed monsters that were neither human nor ghost, chasing after them on all fours.
These days, the figures are covered in black hair, have skinny bodies, green faces and fangs, and look extremely scary.
Soon, the Jinyiwei came into contact with the imperial guards at the foot of the mountain. At the signal from the imperial guards' flags, the remaining twenty or so Jinyiwei quickly circled the formation.
However, the hairy zombies following closely behind them collided violently with He Jinjun's army formation.
"kill!"
With a loud shout, arrows shot out and knocked the hairy zombies to the ground one by one.
After a while, only a very small number of hairy zombies rushed to the front of the army formation, but they were also killed by the fully armed imperial guards.
At this moment, black figures appeared in the telescope again.
This group of figures are extremely tall, and compared to the hairy zombies, they are even more massive and ferocious.
Behind this group of figures are chariots and cavalry.
At the very end, there is an extremely huge car frame.
Emperor's frame!
After spotting this group of people for the first time, Zheng Yi gave the order directly.
"fire!"
"fire……!!!"
Under Zheng Yi's command, two thousand red cannons immediately issued a series of roars.
"boom!"
"Boom!"
