Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 228: The corpse fire
From this day on, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui will be living here. The general manager still informs the King of Huainan about the news here every day, but after that day, the same news will have to be looked at first. After there was nothing out of the ordinary, the steward used a carrier pigeon to bring the news to the king of Huainan.
This can only be regarded as a small episode. Wu Mian and Guibugui's main thoughts are still on Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu. With the cooperation of the general manager, Gui Fugui and Wu Mian found an opportunity to release the soul of Chu Bawang again. This time the old guy learned to be good, and after releasing Xiang Yu, he hid by Wu Mian's side.
Almost the same as last time, as long as no one stimulates Xiang Yu. He is still gentle, and apart from Yu Ji, he never said anything about the fact that he almost dominated the world back then. Taking advantage of the former overlord's lack of lethality, Gui Bugui cautiously stepped forward and checked his body.
For those who don't use magic, Xiang Yu's body is still like air. However, returning or not returning is also a famous alchemist, and it didn't take long to discover the problem. After the old guy sucked Hanako, he said, "It's really troublesome. The overlord's soul has been tempered by corpse fire. Even if he is sent to reincarnation now, the following will not dare to take him in."
"corpse fire?" Wu Mian seems to have said these two words together, but when he thinks about it, he can't think of where he heard it. Seeing Wu Mian frowning, he said, "The corpse fire appeared when King Wu was attacking Zhou, and it was the fire that burned the king of Zhou in Lutai. Legend has it that the fire of the corpse was the king of Zhou. The immortal fire picked from Yinxiantai, after burning King Zhou, was uncontrollable and burned the entire palace. Although King Wu's army was withdrawn, the palace servants, palace maids and slaves burned to death 3,000 people. Yu Ren. The fire at that time was beyond the power of manpower, and even the rain that the warlocks in King Wu’s army borrowed for twelve hours was not extinguished. In the end, the fire continued to burn for three days and three nights, and after the entire palace was burnt down , there is nothing to burn the fire before it is slowly extinguished."
After finishing speaking, Wu Mian still couldn't figure out something. At the moment, he frowned and said to Guibugui, "Why haven't I heard of this? I have seen the word corpse fire in the Qin Palace's collection of alchemists before, but I only took it with me in a few strokes. No details. Anyone who sees the origin of the corpse fire will confuse it with ordinary ghost fire.”
"Of course you can't see that. Almost all the books about the corpse fire left outside have been burned." Looking at Wu Mian's more incomprehensible eyes, Gui Bugui smiled with satisfaction , and then continued: "This is still your senior brother Yan Aihou's decision. When there was a fire in Lutai, King Wu's military warlock saw that the fire was too evil. He secretly kept a little fire, and then took advantage of no one's attention. At that time, he couldn't wait for King Wu to confer the title of the vassal state. At the moment, he quietly took the fire into the old forest and began to test the fire. But what he couldn't think of was that almost everyone in the place thought about the fire that year. Wrong. It wasn't a fire that destroyed the entire palace. That day, the fire only burned the souls of King Zhou and the people in the palace. It's just that the temperature of the souls was too high after burning, and the whole palace was ignited."
When he said this, Guibugui paused, glanced at Wu Mian, who was still listening to him, smiled contentedly, and then continued: "This is the corpse fire, Later, the warlock discovered that the corpse fire could refine the soul. As long as the size of the corpse fire was well controlled, the soul could be refined into an invincible monster. The greater the power of the soul, the stronger the monster it became, and it was only a matter of refining. One-man command.
Later this kind of corpse fire spread out. At that time, there were several immoral **** who couldn't wait to collect the souls of the dead and began to kill the living to refine them. At that time, several vassals were slaughtered by monks from village to village. Later, your senior brother Yan Aihou learned about the corpse fire and said that those monks who made souls violated the way of heaven and led people to kill almost all the monks who used corpse fire to make souls. All the corpse fires are extinguished, in case someone finds a way to restrain the corpse fire. The Marquis of Yan Ai, relying on his status as the monarch of the state of Yan, contacted all the princes in the world, including the emperor of Zhou. Zhou Tianzi issued an edict that among the cultivators in the world, all books and tablets related to corpse fire should be collected and destroyed. The monks who kept these tablets privately were charged with murder. Later, the Marquis of Yan Ai established a school of alchemists, and it could not be said that it had nothing to do with this. "
After he finished speaking, Xiao Ren San popped out of the ground with a small head and said to the old guy, "I don't think you can die, didn't you say that the fire of the corpse was extinguished? Why did this happen again? "
"I'm going to ask the person who refined Xiang Yu." When speaking, Gui Bugui said to Xiang Yu, "Bawang, remember when you were in Wujiang, someone put you on fire. Bake it? Think about it carefully. I will avenge you, old man..."
"Bake it on the fire?" After Xiang Yu glanced straight at Gui Bugui, all the hair on his body stood up, and said to Wu Mian and Gui Bugui, "Who would dare to treat me like that? I'm Xichuba..." Just when the word Wang was about to come out, Wu Mian saw that he was going to be in the same state as before, so he took the first step and knocked Xiang Yu down with one finger. .
Just when Gui Bugui was about to take Xiang Yu's soul back into his body again, a sharp voice suddenly came out from the ruins opposite the three of them: "I didn't expect that someone in this backcountry would know about the existence of the corpse fire. Well, for the sake of the few days you've read, keep Xiang Yu's soul and you can leave..."
While speaking, a tall middle-aged man came out of the ruins opposite. After the man came out, there was a faint white air all over his body. After showing up, he glanced at the three people and said, "We and you are all people who have taken the elixir of life, but I promised others that I must take Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, back. After that person counts, you will find out that this soul was captured. People have refined it, but there are still people who know that there are corpse fires, which he should have never imagined."
When he said this, Xiao Ren San's body was short and he had drilled into the ground again. Back to No Return took Xiang Yu's soul into his body, and then quickly hid behind Wu Mian. Behind Wu Mian, he said to the middle-aged man, "Can't that person come in person? Didn't he send puppets here before? ?"
After seeing Gui Bugui taking Xiang Yu's soul back into his body, the middle-aged man who walked over from the ruins frowned, and then began to walk slowly towards Wu Mian and Gui Bugui. As he walked, he said to the two people on the opposite side: "Is that unnecessary?"
When the last word came out of his lips, the middle-aged man suddenly raised his hand to face Gui Bugui and Wu Mian, and cut him down. At the same time as the man's hand fell, a gust of wind rushed towards the two of them. Wu Mian sneered, and when he was about to start the next step, a sudden movement occurred in his heart, pulling Gui Bugui who was behind him to dodge the hurricane. Just as the two of them were dodging, the two big trees where the two of them were just now were dug out in unison. The upper half of the two large trees could not bear the weight and collapsed suddenly.
Originally, such a technique was nothing to Wu Mian and the pressure of returning. It's just that nothing like broken wood was found on the ground of the two big trees, and the missing part in the middle seemed to disappear out of thin air. If it was against Wu Mian and Gui Bugui's head just now, then even if the two of them have a system of immortality, their scruples will be dead for a long time.
And when the middle-aged man saw that he missed a shot, the expression on his face also became weird. When he was about to come back to Wu Mian and Gui Bugui, the young man with white hair suddenly shouted at him, "It's my turn..."
