Chapter 163 Finally Obtained the Technique
Looking at the zombie corpse on the ground that was torn into pieces, Zheng Yi really couldn't believe that this was the Great Emperor of Dayu.
At this moment, he did not have any of the pressure of an emperor, but was just a black corpse.
The entire head was almost eaten by the Blood Moon Gu, revealing large amounts of sticky black blood.
The black blood clearly contained corpse poison, which corroded the surrounding grass into patches of white.
However, the Blood Moon Gu roaming among the corpses was obviously not afraid of the corpse poison. Instead, it swam even more happily.
"His Majesty……"
Chen Liancang walked over, his face pale as he said, “This person is the corpse of Taizu… I didn’t expect that he would turn into a zombie!”
"If it weren't for your Majesty's great fortune, you really wouldn't be able to suppress him."
Zheng Yi's eyebrows flickered and he said, "Grandmaster? What Grandmaster? This man is nothing but a zombie."
"Yes, the old slave is too talkative."
"Someone, burn him!"
"promise!"
Fearing that something might happen to the zombie again, Zheng Yi did not even think about burying it again. Instead, he ordered his men to burn it.
As the flames jumped, the zombie began to burn at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually turning into charcoal on the ground.
Only after the body was burned into ashes did Zheng Yi lead his men away.
They were all burned to ashes, and Zheng Yi really didn't believe that anyone could be resurrected.
Unfortunately, Zheng Yi did not find anything in the ashes of Emperor Taizu.
"Chen Xiao."
"The servant is here."
"You should return to the capital to recover. I have ordered the imperial physician to come."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Chen Xiao was unlucky and his left arm was broken at the elbow, just like General Xu.
I don’t know if it will affect his future martial arts training.
Surrounded by the crowd, Zheng Yi once again came to the outside of Taizu's Mausoleum.
Through the long and narrow passage of konjac and sea lotus, Zheng Yi also stepped into the tomb of Emperor Taizu.
Zheng Yi was also shocked by the spacious and shocking underground capital city, as well as the huge white marble steps, the Golden Palace and other things in the distance.
Chen Liancang said: "Your Majesty, this is the tomb of that zombie."
"The underground capital is full of hairy zombies, at least tens of thousands of them."
"But because of the zombie riot, they all rushed out and were killed by the imperial guards."
"I'm afraid there isn't even one left in the entire underground capital now."
"Further ahead is the huge white marble staircase."
"The Golden Throne Hall is right above it."
"Inside the Golden Palace are figurines of hundreds of officials, a dragon throne, and coffins."
Looking at the vast and dark underground capital, Zheng Yi immediately said: "Call the imperial guards in and inspect every inch of it for me. Don't let go of a single inch of land!"
"promise!"
The young eunuch beside him quickly went to convey the order, and Zheng Yi left the mausoleum again.
The gentleman does not stand under the wall.
Now that he is about to obtain the manual of cultivation, he does not want to die or get injured because of other mechanisms in the underground palace.
The best way is to let others pave the way for you.
Soon, teams of imperial guards, led by their respective soldiers, entered the underground capital.
They divided into hundreds of small teams of ten people each, and entered the underground capital from different directions and alleys, conducting a comprehensive investigation of the underground capital.
Zheng Yi was not in a hurry either. It was just the final step, so it would be better to have some unexpected events.
He was waiting in the Tianshou Mountain Palace, where the imperial guards kept reporting to him intelligence from inside the underground capital.
"Your Majesty! Twenty thousand imperial guards have entered to explore!"
"Your Majesty, we found a group of hairy zombies, and they have all been wiped out!"
"Is there a mechanism?"
"Nothing..."
After thinking about it, Zheng Yi quickly reacted.
The Emperor Taizu was still dreaming of transforming himself into a zombie, or even resurrecting. He would even try to lure Zheng's descendants to find him, so of course he wouldn't set up too many traps.
Moreover, this underground capital and underground palace are blessed with special formations, so they can become an underground secret room or a training room, and they are also very sturdy when built.
Many imperial guards continued their investigation, and soon a lot of news came out.
"Your Majesty, a large amount of treasure was found in the underground capital. It seems to be burial objects. Should we collect them all?"
"Let's transport them all out."
"promise!"
"Your Majesty, we have discovered several mass graves filled with bones and a large number of construction tools."
"Clean it all up!"
"promise!"
"Your Majesty, we have discovered a large number of terracotta warriors and weapons..."
With the continuous clearing by a large number of imperial guards, boxes of treasures, weapons and other items were all transported out.
The entire Tianshou Mountain has almost become a huge construction site.
And the news of this place gradually spread.
But now the world is in chaos. Although many people in the court have petitioned His Majesty regarding the excavation of Emperor Taizu's tomb in Tianshou Mountain, it has not amounted to anything.
This matter just ended up like this!
At this time, after several days of excavation, the entire underground capital was finally cleared out.
All the zombies, mechanisms, etc. still hidden in the dark were cleared out or dug out.
The entire underground capital is guarded by imperial guards everywhere, making it extremely safe.
This is also true in the Golden Palace.
Chen Liancang even personally stepped into the Golden Throne Hall, and after carefully inspecting the Golden Throne Hall inside and out, he once again confirmed the safety of the Golden Throne Hall.
Even so, for absolute safety, Zheng Yi once again dispatched the Shadow Guards and the Imperial Guards to inspect the inside and outside of the Golden Palace.
Especially that golden coffin!
Safety, safety again.
Under such absolute safety, Zheng Yi finally came here in person.
Looking at the lifelike figurines of officials and the golden coffin on the dragon throne, Zheng Yi was also a little surprised.
"Mr. Chen, have you checked inside the coffin?"
"Your Majesty, I have checked." Chen Liancang said respectfully, "There are no large number of burial objects in the coffin, only a few jade pendants. I don't know the function of these objects, so I didn't take them out."
"Jade pendant?"
Zheng Yi's mind moved: "Jade slip!"
This jade slip is a carrier used by cultivators to record secret techniques or textual content.
Could it be that……
"Quickly take out those jade slips."
"Jade slips?"
Although Chen Liancang was confused, he quickly responded: "Yes!"
He walked quickly up to the golden coffin, bent down, reached in, took out a few things from it, and then came to Zheng Yi.
"Your Majesty, please look, this is the jade pendant in the coffin."
Zheng Yi took a look and saw that there were five jade slips of similar colors in Chen Liancang's hands.
It was all green with a hint of light yellow, like willow leaves, dull and lifeless.
There are actually five of these jade slips!
Logically speaking, after the emperor's death, the burial objects in the coffin would definitely be his favorite and most precious things during his lifetime.
And these five jade slips don’t look like precious things at all.
There is only one possibility, that is the jade slip!
For a cultivator, the most precious thing on him, apart from his own magic weapon, is his skills.
Zheng Yi took the five jade slips handed over by Chen Liancang and looked at them carefully.
He once saw the jade slip left by Concubine Cui's master. The jade slip contained the method of practicing the basic formation.
Therefore, he was also familiar with the jade slips.
The five jade slips in his hand are very similar to the five jade slips in Concubine Cui's hand.
Thinking of this, he did as Concubine Cui did and placed one of the jade slips on his forehead.
At the same time, he concentrated his mind on this jade slip, sensing something carefully.
Not long after, he suddenly felt that his sight appeared in another space.
This space was chaotic and colorless, floating, but lines of words appeared before his eyes.
"This is……"
Zheng Yi was surprised that the jade slip in front of him was indeed a set of exercises!
"The Great Method of Feeding Corpses by All Spirits"!
Looking closely, this technique has only over 3,000 words, which is not too many.
However, the contents recorded therein opened Zheng Yi's eyes.
This so-called "Great Method of Feeding Corpses with All Spirits" is actually a strange method on how to transform oneself into a spirit corpse!
According to the records of the exercises, cultivators can set up a special formation before they die, the Ten Thousand Spirits Corpse-Feeding Formation.
The artificial materials produced during the Yin month and the Wan Yin time are used to construct a large formation to condense the extremely Yin energy.
At the same time, when he is about to die, he places himself in the center of the formation, gradually absorbing the extremely yin energy and transforming his own body into a spiritual corpse.
The so-called spiritual corpse body is a special physique.
Similar to a zombie with spiritual roots.
Ordinary spirit corpses can only be transformed into hairy zombies.
As for the spiritual corpse, as long as it is given enough time to grow, and is nourished by Yin energy and blood, it will automatically be upgraded to an iron corpse, bronze corpse, silver corpse, or even a gold corpse over time!
"So that's how it is. Emperor Taizu is using the 'Great Method of Raising Corpses of All Souls' to transform himself into a spirit corpse. This will take at least a thousand years."
"As for me, I dug him out more than 300 years ago, which caused his "Million Spirit Corpse Feeding Technique" to fail."
"There are also tens of thousands of hairy zombies in the underground capital. They are the people he found who were born on the yin year, yin month and yin day. They are also the ingredients for his medicine."
"After more than three hundred years, his spirit corpse's strength has only reached the bronze corpse level, which is roughly equivalent to the late stage of Qi training."
Zheng Yi slowly opened his eyes and played with the jade slip.
It was impossible for him to practice the "Great Method of Feeding Corpses by All Spirits".
True.
After transforming his body into a spirit corpse, he embarked on the path of zombies.
Not only is it invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire, but it also has immense strength and can even be immortal.
But...what use is it to Zheng Yi?
He has already achieved immortality, so this method is completely useless to him!
But after all, it is a method of cultivation.
It can be collected, used to win people's hearts, or exchanged for other useful things.
"His Majesty?"
Zheng Yi casually threw the jade slip to Chen Liancang.
"Mr. Chen, this item is the method used by the Taizu zombie to transform itself into a zombie. It also records several techniques used by zombies, such as the Lingyin Corpse Fire."
"This thing is not suitable for you."
Zheng Yi said: "You need to hold this jade slip close to your forehead, concentrate and examine it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Chen Liancang immediately placed the jade slip on the human head and examined it carefully.
Taking advantage of this time, Zheng Yi put the second jade slip on his forehead and began to examine it.
Soon, a huge map appeared in his mind.
Among them, the pattern of a trapezoidal building with a small palace on top is very familiar.
"Is this... a map of the underground tomb?"
Zheng Yi was surprised. He didn't expect that Emperor Taizu would solemnly set up a map of this underground mausoleum.
"Ok?"
After a careful inspection, he found something wrong.
This is no ordinary map at all.
But it is a... formation diagram!
Looking closely, it was found that Emperor Taizu had set up three formations in this huge underground mausoleum.
Among them, the Ten Thousand Spirits Corpse Feeding Array is one of them, which is used to condense extremely yin energy and transform itself into spirit corpses and zombies.
This formation consumes very few spirit stones. You only need to put the corpse of a person born in an unlucky year, month or day into it, and it will operate automatically.
The second formation is the spirit gathering formation!
On the white marble steps, there is a giant spirit gathering array carved. It can be activated by spirit stones to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy for cultivation.
Compared to other places, the cultivation speed here will be faster!
The third formation is one called: Xuanyuan Guitu Formation.
