I am not familiar with the Demon Corpse, but after hearing Cang Yao's description, I think it can be considered as an immortal body.
Such a thing is easy to deal with. If you use the right method, you can bury it and never turn over.
The premise is that at least I have to subdue it!
Cang Yao should understand what I am thinking. When we chased after it, she said that her method was definitely not to teach me how to bury people, and that was not what she was good at. What she said was naturally how to destroy the opponent's steel and iron bones!
This is right on the point.
The Demon Corpse's movements are not agile, but it is the steel and iron bones that make me helpless. It is more uncomfortable than facing a tin can with bare hands.
But I also caught the strangeness in her words-she didn't dare to guarantee whether it would work!
"Because, I only saw the last official use it once!"
Cang Yao said: "And, he was dealing with a hairy beast."
I paused, and Lao Bai immediately noticed my abnormality and asked me in a low voice what was wrong. I shook my head silently, but I was thinking about the reliability of this matter.
Hairy beasts are not wild beasts, but also extremely powerful zombies. The conditions for their birth are extremely harsh. Only the corpses of people from the Xuanmen have a chance to become this kind of thing.
Especially those extraordinary corpses, the chance of transformation is higher!
For example, the corpse of a monk carrying relics, or the "remains" of a Taoist priest. Of course, these remains are not snake skin, but some Taoist priests who died suddenly while meditating. Their bodies do not decay, but instead emit a faint fragrance. No matter how many years have passed, they always have a faint smile on their faces, which makes them look like exiled immortals. They were considered sacred in the past, and were considered to be the remains of the Taoist priests who ascended to heaven. Many dignitaries would collect them and bury them with them after death. They would build a large double coffin, not wanting their wives to accompany them, but instead hugging the stinky skin of the Taoist priest, believing that this would allow them to be blessed by the immortal body of the other party who was free and unrestrained in the nine heavens.
Once a corpse like this inhales the Yang Qi of a living person and rises from the dead, it will turn into a hairy beast. It is different from ordinary zombies, but looks like a wild beast with red hair all over its body, and walks on all fours in the deep mountains and forests. At first, it just captures some birds and beasts for food. Gradually, it becomes smart and specializes in hunting the descendants of the five great immortals. When it has achieved some success, it is both a corpse and a demon, and can change its appearance, which is very amazing.
This kind of hairy beast is also known for its strength and is invulnerable to swords and guns. It can be called a super tank among the zongzi. Even a fierce man who can kill a golden-armored bronze corpse may not be able to subdue it!
I thought, if that method can really kill Mao Hou, then killing the demon corpse will not be a problem, so I asked humbly. After all, the one who subdued Mao Hou was the last Heavenly Official, who was not at the same level as me. It is a stretch to call me a ritual official now. If it weren't for my father's insufficient kidney energy and the small number of people in the family, I guess it would not be my turn as a dull character.
"Don't worry, when you cut Mao Hou into pieces, his condition was not much better than yours. At least you could still stand, but he couldn't stand at that time!"
Cang Yao sneered. This was the first time she talked about the struggle of the last Heavenly Official in the last moments.
According to what she said, the Maohu did not make a move at first, but chose to hide in a group of inconspicuous clowns in disguise. The last Tianguan had killed a large number of outstanding birds, and was at the end of his rope. He was exhausted, and Maohu seized the opportunity to jump out. Even she thought that Tianguan would definitely be torn into pieces. As a result, the opponent used a very strange trick - cut the middle finger, drew a talisman on the Baipi knife with blood, and then chopped the sword, and Maohu was split in half.
This is the whole process.
"Just like that?"
I think it's incredible.
The talisman does have some magical features, but to say that a talisman can kill an evil thing like Maohu, it seems a bit mysterious no matter how you think about it.
"Don't underestimate that thing. I don't think it's an ordinary talisman. It's very harmful to oneself and may even kill one's life. Anyway, the opponent slashed it and immediately collapsed to the ground. It seems that half of his life has been lost. It's very evil."
Cang Yao said: "If you are not at your wit's end and can only fight with your life, I would not recommend you to try it. Of course, I don't know whether this method is useful or not. Anyway, you have reached this point, and I don't mind trying it."
She said this as if we were doomed to die, and this trip would be a waste.
I looked back at the people around me. Well, it was really miserable.
Lao Bai and Zhang Xinya were holding Brother Yaozi. The other party's knees were bloody and fleshy. It looked like he had broken his bones. He insisted on going down with us. I guess he was thinking of living and dying together.
As for the talisman, Cang Yao remembered it very clearly. During the long years trapped in the demon tomb, she had been thinking about it a lot, but unfortunately she had never figured it out. There were only a few ancient symbols, not sacrificial texts, nor annihilation texts, and certainly not from Taoist and Buddhist scriptures. Instead, it looked like a random scribble. When I put the wind chime in my palm, it swung back and forth, drawing the talisman on my hand. I kept thinking about it until I was sure that I remembered it clearly.
I didn't dare to think about the current situation of the old man. He would definitely not survive if he fell from such a high place. Maybe the furious demon corpse would tear his body into pieces...
In fact, when we chased down, the situation was completely different from what we expected.
The steps at the altar were in a mess, the stone steps were scattered, and many places were smashed. Several stone guards standing on the left and right sides were knocked over, some of their heads were smashed, and some were broken into several pieces.
Among the rocks, the old man was leaning on the steps, breathing in more than out, and spewing blood foam from his mouth and nose, hanging on his chin in strings. His abdomen was bloody and his bloated leather coat was almost dyed black and red. He was holding his stomach, and it was hard to tell how he was injured. When he saw us chasing him, he panted and laughed, staring ahead, grinning, "You damn thing, do you really think my life is so easy to save? What does it mean that you have infinite strength? You are hanging in the air without a brain, and you are at my mercy. You can't stand it even if you fall headfirst!"
Following his gaze, among the many pottery figurines kneeling on the ground, there was a huge body squirming. Wasn't it the corpse of the demon Luo? It just had a miserable end. Its head was tilted back at a weird angle, almost 90 degrees to its spine. Its neck must have been broken. Its legs were twisted like a doughnut. Its chest was pierced by a bent bronze halberd. It seemed to feel the mockery of the old man. It struggled violently there. Its only remaining arm dug down several pottery figurines. This thing was very brittle. It cracked with a "snap" when it fell to the ground. Not only did the pottery skin break, but the person inside was also broken into several pieces, and blood was splattered all over the ground.
Looking at all this, I almost immediately restored the situation when it fell in my mind - the demon corpse had a lot of strength, but it was useless in mid-air. The old man held it and smashed it headfirst on the steps. During this process, its chest was pierced by the bronze berylliums in the hands of the stone guards. After all, the impact of the fall was too great, and the speed was enough. Even a piece of paper could kill people. Even if it was invulnerable to swords and guns, it couldn't withstand such an impact. Not only did it smash the place into a mess, it also bounced out and stuck its head in the current position. Its legs were destroyed and it couldn't stand up for a while.
"Ha, if you can't beat a living target, can't you kill it?"
Lao Bai sneered, looked at Wan Niang'er, and the two immediately rushed towards the demon corpse side by side.
A strange scene appeared.
The demon corpse that was still struggling unwillingly just now suddenly stopped moving. Under the flickering light of the flashlight in Brother Yaozi's hand, the red hair of the opponent actually showed a faint golden color!
"Be careful!"
I immediately shouted to remind Lao Bai, but it was a bit late. As soon as the two of them approached, the demon corpse let out a huge roar, accompanied by a series of "crackling" bones. The crooked parts of the opponent's body were immediately corrected, and jumped up and pounced on the two of them. Fortunately, Wan Niang'er reacted faster and threw Lao Bai to one side, avoiding this fatal attack.
This thing is too evil. Before, it pretended to be a stone guard to attack us halfway, and now it's like this again. I can even imagine the smile on Lao Diaoye's face.
The situation is urgent, I immediately bit my middle finger and drew the talisman that Cang Yao taught me on the Baipi Knife. Before this, I had rehearsed countless times in my mind, so it was naturally easy to catch it at this time.
Clang!
Instantly, the Baipi Knife hummed softly...
It worked!
I was overjoyed, but soon the smile froze on my face, because a terrible burning heat surged in my abdomen. I could feel the Earth Spirit Pearl trembling, but it was very abnormal, as if it was burning, making me tremble all over, and my mind was blank.
The red talisman on the Baipi Knife became more and more vivid, flashing with a bewitching light, getting brighter and brighter, but I could feel something constantly flowing out of my body, as if I was constantly losing blood, but it was more like my life was draining away bit by bit...
Boom boom boom...
I heard a series of strong and powerful heartbeats, but I couldn't tell if it was my own, because every time it sounded, the Baipi Knife in my hand would tremble, giving me an illusion that the knife in my hand was alive!
For a moment, my hand holding the Baipi Knife trembled. This thing was too evil, and I instinctively rejected and feared it...
