Chapter 340 Volume C: Strengthening the Bones and Strengthening Oneself
When Chen Huaisheng raised this suspicion, Shang Jiuling and several others were stunned, but after thinking about it, they felt that it was very possible.
The area itself is a battleground for military strategists and a famous ancient battlefield. From the ancient times to the medieval times, countless battles that shocked the past and the present have been fought there, and countless soldiers have lost their lives here.
If it is true that the generals who died in a certain war were "resurrected" and turned into monster corpses for some special reasons after sleeping for thousands of years, then this would be correct.
"If it is really what Huai Sheng imagined, how many corpses would have been buried in that place after thousands of years of continuous war, and once they were all turned into demon corpses..." Xu Muyang shuddered at the thought.
"Impossible. Although I don't understand evil spirits, there are many complicated and harsh conditions for the transformation of demon corpses. Otherwise, how many soldiers who died in battles from ancient times to the present would be resurrected and turned into demon corpses?" Ma Daochun shook his head. : "Perhaps this wave of demon corpses transformed due to some special reasons. To find out the specific situation, we have to find their hidden lair."
Chen Huaisheng is not too concerned about the origin of these monster corpses yet, so he can find them slowly.
What he is more worried about is that if these demon corpses continue to grow, especially if they continue to attack and devour the blood marrow essence of the surrounding Taoist seeds and spiritual cultivators, they will become a big disaster.
Even if the Chonghua faction is not in danger for the time being, the Chonghua faction will never be able to escape or avoid it. The longer it is delayed, the greater the crisis will be.
"Master, I'm afraid we have to come up with countermeasures immediately. Whether it's joining forces with Fengyi Sect or roping in the Ding family, we must eradicate this scourge as soon as possible. We can even pass the news to the Youzhou Ning family. Once The monster corpses are raging, and Bajiao Village will never be spared. No matter what situation the Ning family is in now, they should take action..."
Zhao Sitian and Chen Huaisheng discussed it for a while and agreed with Chen Huaisheng's point of view.
Shang Jiuling's eyes flashed across the faces of Xu Muyang and Ma Daochun, and both of them nodded to acknowledge this.
If the competition and war between sects is a battle between gentlemen, then the war between sects and evil spirits is really a life-and-death battle with no room for relaxation.
Especially when these monster corpses have to swallow the blood and marrow essence of spiritual cultivation to nourish and strengthen themselves. How can you bear this?
"But the Ning family in Youzhou may not be able to take action..." Shang Jiuling shook his head.
"It doesn't matter if they are unable to take action, at least let them know, and let Bajiao Village know who is the most reliable..." Chen Huaisheng smiled.
Shang Jiuling had a smile on his face, Xu Muyang and Ma Daochun also nodded slightly. This guy was indeed very scheming.
Coming out of Chonghua Hall, Zhao Sitian and Chen Huaisheng came together.
"Liu Chun didn't come?" Chen Huaisheng asked casually.
"Liu Chun, Qiao Zhun, and Li Kunyang have already taken a few people to meet Master Wu in advance." Zhao Sitian said casually: "The sect still attaches great importance to this matter, no more than others."
"There's no response yet about Cang Lang in Bajiao Village?" Chen Huaisheng asked again.
"Not yet, but it should be no problem if Master You goes there in person." Zhao Sitian couldn't help but sigh, "Master Zhu will also go to Bajiao Village after he goes to Lingyun Sect, so it should be no problem."
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. Thirty-three years after entering Jingzhen, it seems that things are not peaceful here in Hebei. It seems that all kinds of things are concentrated around the Chonghua sect.
"How long can Lingyun Sect last?" Chen Huaisheng felt that he had suddenly become extremely fragile.
After four years of entry and seventh level of Qi training, outsiders thought that he was a genius. However, when he stepped out, he discovered that he was almost nothing below the foundation level. Facing various dangers, he seemed so powerless.
"I don't know, but I'm not optimistic." Zhao Sitian sighed, "I have met the ten or so disciples and talked with them. The situation is very bad. The two Zifu masters have been sitting at the mountain gate and dare not leave the mountain, but In this way, new disciples cannot be recruited, old disciples are in panic and are constantly losing, there are attacks from the Yuelu Sect and monsters, there is not enough spiritual food, and there is a shortage of spiritual materials, how can we persevere?"
"Then why did these people come to us?" Chen Huaisheng asked curiously.
"I feel like nothing will be accomplished when I return to Da Zhao. Who will accept them if I go to other sects? After all, the Chonghua sect came to Hebei together with them, so we share the same pain." Zhao Sitian put his hands behind his back, "I feel that I can't hold on for long, Yuelu Sect can't bear it. This move uses all kinds of forces to attack and destroy the reputation of Lingyun Sect. It is so vicious that Lingyun Sect has no plan to deal with it. Let’s see if it can survive until next year.”
As they walked and talked, the two felt that the current dilemma faced by Lingyun Sect was difficult to solve.
The indifference of the local clan in Weihuaidao, the hostility and even harassment of the nearby Yuelu Sect, coupled with the rampage of monsters, and the deliberate suppression of the Tianhe Sect in the north, were caused by the unstable people who moved from Da Zhao, and the addition of the nine backers. The internal strife of the Lian Sect and all the bad factors gathered on the Lingyun Sect, like ropes binding the Lingyun Sect tighter and tighter.
However, with the support of the Chonghua Sect, perhaps the Lingyun Sect can be stronger, but it is impossible to judge how long this process will last and whether it can be reversed.
The sect did not arrange any more arrangements for Chen Huaisheng in the following matters.
Chen Huaisheng also saw that the sect had finally made some changes. Senior Qi practitioners like Qiao Zhun, who were older but not yet old enough to lie down, were being assigned out.
This is a good sign.
There is no reason why others are running around outside, while these "core forces" who enjoy the best treatment of the sect are living a life of luxury in the mountain gate, including Yunhe and Luo Xiuyue.
Chen Huaisheng, who has made time, can practice his thunder method on the one hand, and urge others to start practicing the spiritual realm according to their own plan on the other hand.
The huge wooden barrel was filled with steam, and Chen Huaisheng looked at the configured elixir.
Violent tiger bone, realgar smoke, phantom gold vine, black moon stone, Wanli sand, these five flavors are essential medicines for bone quenching soup.
But the missing violent tiger bone has not been found, and it was not easy to replace it with the blue wolf bone that You Shaoyou and Yao Liwei brought back from Bajiaozhai a few days ago.
Although the blue wolf bone cannot be compared with the violent tiger bone, it can also achieve a certain effect, which is more than enough for Min Qingyu.
When Hu Delu was quenching his bones, he also lacked the most important ingredient, the violent tiger bone.
But there is no way. This is a prescription in ancient books. Baohu has never heard of it appearing anywhere. There is no place to find it. Even if you go to the market in Bianjing, you can't buy it.
There are many substitutes, and they are divided into high and low. Aolong and Canglang bone are good. The next can only be a strange wolf or golden cat bone of sufficient age.
At that time, Hu Delu used golden cat bone as a substitute, which was not satisfactory, but he finally succeeded in tempering the bones.
This time, Canglang bone is much stronger than golden cat bone, which also caused Hu Delu to keep muttering that Chen Huaisheng valued women over friends and would wait until Canglang bone.
The bone tempering pill was prepared long ago, but the key is the soup.
Chen Huaisheng scooped a spoonful of red rock essence with a soup spoon, and used spiritual power to drive it, removing the mud, leaving only the fire spirit liquid.
Chen Huaisheng also spent a lot of time to think about the bone tempering technique.
The first outline of the bone quenching technique was obtained from the Lingbao Minghuang Jing, a Daoji that specializes in the study of Taoist bone nourishment.
This book is not rare and can be bought in the market.
But its core is not the original meaning of the Lingbao Minghuang Jing, but the annotations and interpretations of its core meaning, which is the most important.
The annotations of the Lingbao Minghuang Jing are mainly divided into three schools, one is the Wuyue School, one is the Xitang School, and one is the Dazhao School.
Most people refer to the Dazhao School and interpret and develop according to the annotations of this school.
Whether it is the Xitang School or the Dazhao School, there are many top alchemists who have special annotations for this book, so generally speaking, everyone takes these two paths.
The Wuyue School is a niche school that pays more attention to external refining, which is different from the Xitang and Dazhao schools that focus more on internal elixirs.
The bone quenching technique is no exception.
The Western Tang Dynasty Great Zhao attached great importance to the combination of taking elixirs internally and practicing in the morning and evening, believing that this combination of practice and bone hardening can greatly improve the state of Taoist bones.
The Wuyue School pays attention to external bathing and specializing in elixir.
When Hu Delu was practicing bone hardening, Chen Huaisheng used the Great Zhao School, but he felt that the effect was ordinary, so later he found the annotations of the Wuyue School to ponder, which was also a little experience.
Portions of spiritual medicines and spiritual materials were poured into the wooden barrel according to the different water temperatures at different times, and the whole room was filled with strong medicinal fragrance.
Chen Huaisheng observed the changes in the color of the soup in the wooden barrel and touched it with his fingers. The temperature had risen, but it would take some time to maintain.
The red rock essence in the soup spoon washed away the mud, leaving only pure fire spirit liquid, and he slowly poured it in.
The soup was stirred by the fire spirit liquid and immediately boiled.
Chen Huaisheng took off his clothes, slightly encouraged his strength and breathed, and put his body into the soup.
The huge medicinal power brought by the boiling soup quickly penetrated into his body under the stimulation of heat.
The whole Dao bone instantly became soft and collapsed.
Chen Huaisheng took a deep breath, gathered his spiritual power, and quickly forced out the three spirits into the Dao bone, allowing the Dao bone to maintain its state and avoid completely losing control.
Because it was an attempt, he had to try it himself first, otherwise if Min Qingyu tried it directly, it would backfire.
Like the previous one, it was estimated that Min Qingyu's Dao bone would immediately become powder and could never be restored. This was also a test.
This was no longer a simple bone quenching technique. In Chen Huaisheng's view, this was his own improved bone quenching technique, which could actually be called a bone washing and marrow nourishing technique.
Quench the impurities in the Dao bone, and then infiltrate the special medicinal properties of the medicine into the Dao bone to strengthen it.
How to blend and even mix the meridians and Dao bones is not easy, and it still needs to be tried slowly. At the same time, it is necessary to let the spiritual roots establish a close connection with the Dao bone through the meridians. This should be a direction for his own attempts in the future.
