Chapter 307: The Method of Resurrection from the Dead (Subscription Request)
"Sir, shall we go in?"
Haitang's loyalty quickly soured as she read these words.
This kind of underground palace looks like a place from which one can never return.
To go or not to go?
Chu Wujiang said unhappily:
"Didn't you see there were a few more words below?"
Haitang then saw that there were eight words written at the bottom of the entrance to the passage:
"Anyone who trespasses before reaching the Yuanshen will be killed."
This underground palace is quite humane. This sentence is added specifically to prevent anyone from discovering the underground palace and rushing to their death.
After seeing this, Chu Wujiang immediately split his mind into several parts and infiltrated the gate directly, trying to sneak in to see what was going on.
As a result, after the soul entered the door, it lost contact on the spot.
It seems that this underground palace is not that simple.
In order to hide her embarrassment, Haitang quickly said:
"Now it seems that Miss Huo's guess is correct."
"Emperor Wu still had feelings for Empress Ji and left her an underground palace."
"In the past six hundred years, Queen Ji has returned from the dead and resurrected, and has gone deep into the underground palace. There has been no news of her since then."
The "Tianfeng Magic Art" created by Queen Ji was extraordinary. After Emperor Wu killed her, he was still able to conclude that she had the ability to resurrect, so he left this underground palace.
Chu Wujiang pondered and said:
"you are right."
"This kind of resurrection may come at a great cost."
"The Emperor left this sentence. He can turn into a demon or a ghost. Maybe it is the price of resurrection."
"After resurrection, he is no longer a human being."
"That would explain it."
"Emperor Wu planted the Netherworld Flower and artificially created the Yin Pond in order to revive Queen Ji and provide the resources to become the Ghost Emperor."
"This book, The Creation of Ghosts, is probably also prepared for her."
"But after Queen Ji was resurrected, she disappeared from the cemetery. Maybe she left, or maybe she went to the underground palace."
Haitang immediately turned into a lackey and suggested:
"Sir, should we report this underground palace and have someone deal with it?"
Chu Wujiang pondered and said:
"No, we just got the master's favor, how can we turn against him right now?"
"You must restore everything to its original state, and you must not destroy the tomb."
General Haitang heaved a sigh of relief and quickly agreed:
"Yes, my lord."
"I'll do it right away."
Chu Wujiang quickly called out to the other party:
"and many more."
"You also need to reinforce the seal and send people to manage Saint Queen Peak, which can be used as a base for the gravekeepers. At the same time, you need to regularly offer blood food for Queen Ji to enjoy."
Haitang was surprised:
"Queen Ji is still alive?"
How can one provide blood food to a living person?
Chu Wujiang chuckled and said:
“Others don’t know.”
Haitang was immediately filled with admiration.
Even if someone comes to check, they will be deceived by the sacrifice.
"The villain understands."
"What other orders does your Excellency have?"
Chu Wujiang casually wiped off the words on the coffin lid to prevent anyone from noticing the existence of the passage. He used the Qiankun Gourd to take away the Phoenix hairpin and straightened the coffin. Then he pondered and said:
"You can get two antiques and put them in the coffin."
"I'm afraid Queen Ji left this thing behind as a deception to make people ignore the existence of the underground palace."
Haitang said sincerely:
"Yes, my lord."
Chu Wujiang planned to wait until he reached the realm of Yuanshen before exploring the underground palace, so as to avoid losing more than he gained.
So he led his men out of the cave, led his soldiers straight back to the camp and declared victory.
When the soldiers of the Chu family army learned that their great revenge had been achieved and the main culprit had been eliminated, they all shouted "Victory".
Huo Qiu Shui did not treat the soldiers who died in battle unfairly.
She ordered Lan Rouer to find a nearby village, spend a large sum of money to buy land, and solemnly bury the dead soldiers so that their ghosts would have a place to go.
For the recruits, this is their first battle.
Simple and effective.
They assembled their troops in the valley, gathered their Qi and blood, and under the guidance of General Huo, slew the Yin Qi.
Even without actual contact, the soldiers gained courage and gradually got used to sudden battles.
After the cheers of victory, Chu Wujiang stood in front of the newly built cemetery in the village to mourn the dead soldiers and ordered people to lay flowers.
The Analects of Confucius says, "If we respect the dead and honor our ancestors, the people's virtue will be profound."
For the soldiers, what they fear most is death. Now they see that the Chu family treats the new recruits with caution and pays pensions on time.
For a moment, the recruits were talking about it, and their morale was boosted:
"The Marquis really treats us as his own people."
"That's right. The ones who died this time were all new soldiers, and there wasn't much fighting. The Marquis still promised to pay the pension according to the standards for death in action."
"It's twice as high as the court's standard!"
"Those who have talents in the family will be given priority to work in the Chamber of Commerce, and can also be included in the assessment of servants in the Chu Mansion."
"Also, the Chu family is responsible for taking care of the family and providing rice and grain for ten consecutive years."
According to the standards of the Tianming Dynasty, the death compensation for junior infantrymen was 50 taels, which increased gradually according to martial arts training and military positions. Chu Wujiang increased the Chu family subsidy on this basis, doubling it directly.
The soldiers' morale naturally boosted.
These expenses are large, but necessary.
The tide of the times is rolling in. An army composed of 10,000 elite soldiers is also capable of fighting against ghost immortals in the Yuanling realm, so its value is still very great.
However, the same amount of money invested may not necessarily produce a Yuanling realm warrior.
We cannot assume that the army is worthless just because it cannot fight against powerful spiritual masters.
Seeing that the army's morale was high, Chu Wujiang returned to the carriage with satisfaction. While ordering the army to advance towards Taodu, he took stock of the harvest.
There was still some sadness on his face, but when Chu Wujiang thought of what he had gained from Queen Ji's tomb, he could no longer suppress the smile on his face.
There are four items in total, an orange fortune secret treasure "Ghost Creation Record", a corpse of an elder of the Demon Palace, a portion of phoenix blood, and the last phoenix hairpin.
Each piece is priceless, making Chu Wujiang's smile indelible, as if it was carved on his face with a knife.
"The Creation of Ghosts Record can be given to Xue Nu or Mei Er to use, needless to say."
"The corpse of the elder of the Demon God Palace is just right for refining a puppet and trying out the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Nerves."
Chu Wujiang had already obtained the blood seeds of ten thousand demons and a drop of the blood of the Demon King, but considering the ending of Di Linyuan, he had no plans to practice this martial art for the time being.
As it turned out, he was dozing off and needed a pillow.
The elder of the Demon Palace has a half-demon body, between human and demon, and is simply the perfect experimental material.
If you don’t do experiments, you’d be doing yourself a disservice.
So Chu Wujiang decisively took out the corpse, separated half of the soul, attached it to Dugu Yin's body, and madly injected vital energy into it.
Under the stimulation of vital energy and soul, Dugu Yin's body gradually regained some vitality.
However, the dead cannot be resurrected.
Chu Wujiang's soul has not yet cultivated to the Yin God realm, so he cannot possess another body and be reborn.
The biggest difference between a wandering spirit and a ghost spirit is whether the spirit can activate the body and bring the dead back to life.
When a spiritual cultivator reaches this stage, even if he gains the ability to possess another body, he will lose the chance to merge with his physical body.
At this step, martial arts and the soul are completely separated.
[Oops, my spirit can't wake up Dugu Yin's body, and he has become a living puppet. His body will rot day by day.]
Chu Wujiang's plan suffered a disastrous defeat just as it took its first step.
This made him start to recall the knowledge in "The Creation Record of Ghosts" and "The Blood Sutra of Ten Thousand Demons".
One is the unique skill of the spirit and soul, the other is the unique skill of the body. By combining the two, perhaps a way can be found.
Chu Wujiang began to recall the knowledge in "The Creation of Ghosts".
【What are ghosts? Ghosts are created by strong emotions, mostly negative emotions. 】
[A soul without a physical body and with strong negative emotions can be called a ghost. ]
[In other words, a soul with a high-intensity consciousness and no restrictions on the original physical body can possess another body.]
Chu Wujiang possesses the characteristic of [Soul and Spirit Becoming One], and does not have [Dual Souls in One Body] like Tang Yuwei. This results in his and Dugu Yin's bodies being like outsiders and unable to be truly activated.
[In other words, we can let Xue Nu and Mei Er take over this body and reactivate it.]
Chu Wujiang quickly shook his head.
It's simply a nightmare to see my wife become like this.
It would be better to let the ladies practice to become Ghost Emperors, so that their souls and bodies can be like those of living people.
[Wait, there is a powerful consciousness, but no physical body. ]
[I have a copy on me.]
Chu Wujiang's brain was working rapidly, and he suddenly remembered that there was a drop of [Demon King's Blood] sealed in his sea of consciousness.
This drop of Demon King's blood is a powerful will. If it is integrated into a corpse, it will find a way to take over another body and be reborn.
When Chu Wujiang thought of this, he began to mobilize the power of Longde to suppress evil, cut off one tenth of the sealed [Demon King's Blood] and injected it into Dugu Yin's body.
yah~
The Demon King's blood penetrated Dugu Yin's body, as if it was really trying to revive him.
I don't think about it!
Chu Wujiang snorted coldly. He just wanted the Demon King's blood to help activate his body.
Now that the physical body is activated, it's time for it to go away.
Chu Wujiang immediately injected dragon energy into Dugu Yin's body and re-sealed the one-tenth of the Demon King's blood.
"Chu Wujiang, don't go too far!"
The Demon King also has some temper, how could he use people as slaves like this?
"I can go even further."
Chu Wujiang chuckled and completely sealed the Demon King's blood, leaving him no chance to even shout.
At this time, the body had a backbone, Dugu Yin's heart began to beat again and regained vitality!
The puppet's body gradually transformed, becoming more and more like a monkey, and finally turned into a hideous mandrill.
Great, now we can start experimenting.
……
Chu Wujiang was experimenting happily, while the people from the Biluo Fairy Palace were in a panic.
Because a maid ran to report:
"Something bad has happened. Fairy Fengyao has disappeared."
"The fairy left a note, saying that she sensed the birth of the Phoenix and she was going to look for an opportunity."
The head of the Biluo Fairy Palace, Fairy Wangchuan, suddenly changed her expression:
"What did you say?"
