Chapter 51: Corpse God Curse Spiritual Body
Warm blood splattered all over his face.
Zhu Gui maintained the posture of embracing the woman in his arms, but the former beauty had lost her head.
He looked at the headless corpse lying on top of him with a numb and dazed expression.
"Bold!!"
Fu Yining looked back and was startled. He rushed over to dig up the body and help Zhu Yu calm down. He screamed at Zhao Wumian, "If you scare Your Highness, we will make you pay for it!"
He pointed at Zhao Wumian with such force that he wanted to poke him on the head.
Zhao Wumian sneered, "If I remember correctly, it was you who allowed the assassin to sneak into His Highness' room and put His Highness in danger! Did I make a mistake in saving him? If I had been slower with that strike, you would have been the one to die!"
"you you……"
Fu Yining's face turned pale and blue, and he pointed at Zhao Wumian, unable to speak.
Zhao Wumian said calmly: "Eunuch, your cultivation level must be at least the fourth realm, but you didn't realize it at all. If someone didn't know, they would think you were in cahoots with the rebels who assassinated the prince..."
"Don't frame me!"
Fu Yining was so frightened that he trembled and said angrily: "This old slave's loyalty to Your Highness is evident to all!!"
"Everyone can say nice things, but the key is to see the actions."
Zhao Wumian looked Fu Yining up and down: "Judging from your actions, you are either derelict in your duty or a traitor. Make your choice."
Fu Yining's face turned pale, but he wanted to say more.
"you shut up!"
Zhu Yu turned around coldly and glared at Fu Yining.
Fu Yining hurriedly lowered his head and knelt on the ground respectfully.
Zhu Yu wiped the blood off his face and said, "I know what's good and what's bad. You...what's your name?"
"Zhao Wumian."
"Ah yes."
Zhu Yu remembered and nodded, "Thank you very much this time. This bitch, who was just talking sweet words to me, actually dared to assassinate me. Drag her out! Chop her into pieces and feed her to the dogs!"
Fu Yining said: "Yes!"
Zhu Yu became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He fiercely kicked the corpse twice, looked at the other people outside the room, and said coldly: "And these people, all of them, kill them..."
"His Royal Highness King Qi."
Qi Shizhou withdrew his magic, sealed the black-clothed man's Du meridian, clasped his fists and said to Zhu Yu, "This is about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The real culprit is unknown, and the accomplices are unknown. He needs to be taken to the Pacification Office for a detailed interrogation. I believe that His Majesty will seek justice for the Crown Prince and you."
"OK then."
Since Zhu Yuanzhang was mentioned, Zhu Yu did not say much: "You guys investigate carefully, and you must not tolerate the thieves! When the emperor finds out, he will probably summon me. I will return to the palace first."
Qi Shizhou bowed: "I respectfully send you off, Your Highness."
Zhu Yu looked at the blood-stained body with disgust and strode away from Hong Xiu Zhao.
Fu Yining followed closely behind him and even glared at Zhao Wumian before leaving the boat.
Zhao Wumian pretended not to notice the old dog's provocation. After making such a big mistake, his fate would not be good.
"Too risky!"
Qi Shizhou opened the window and fired a signal arrow, summoning all the Jinyiwei to come and arrest the person. He turned around and said to Zhao Wumian, "You broke in suddenly just now, not only the people inside were caught off guard, but also me! If there is no assassin in this room, and that woman is half-dressed, we can't explain it! These young princes are hot-blooded, and if that woman stirs up trouble, things will get out of control. By then, not only will we fail to catch the traitor, but we will also mess up the situation!"
"That's why this is the best hiding place."
Zhao Wumian said: "I am 70% sure, so we can give it a try. If necessary, we must cut the Gordian knot quickly, otherwise it will only get more complicated. By the time we find solid evidence, the assassin may have recovered and escaped."
"That's true."
Qi Shizhou nodded repeatedly, and said with admiration: "Seventy percent... Captain Zhao is really bold and careful. If it were me, I would not dare to barge in. If I angered that young prince, it would be troublesome!"
Zhao Wumian understood that it was not that he didn't dare to do it, but he didn't want to fail and get himself into trouble.
After all, it concerns Zhu Yuanzhang's own son.
Zhao Wumian saw the bloodstains on Hong Xiuzhao, saw their deliberate concealment, saw the unlucky waiter, and saw the coincidental appearance of King Qi. All these things pointed to the possible location of the assassin.
If Qi Shizhou wasn't there, he wouldn't have acted rashly, but with this master who practiced the "Five Virtues Reincarnation Sutra" to cut off his retreat, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.
Shen Weiyang also learned this skill and once used the [Ten Earth Seal] move to capture the blood python, which could break Meng Ji's Five Elements Escape Technique.
"I would also like to thank Lord Qi for his timely action."
Zhao Wumian smiled and said, "This credit belongs to both of us."
"You didn't even give me time to hesitate."
Qi Shizhou laughed and shook his head: "The magic was about to be unleashed, and I was waiting for you to 'reason with me', but you already rushed in."
Zhao Wumian smiled and turned to the man in black: "Now we can see this man's background."
He strode over. The man in black was hit hard and was dying. Zhao Wumian was really afraid that he was dead. He stretched out his hand to feel his pulse and his face changed slightly: "No pulse, how could it be... Could it be a Gu? [Corpse God Curse Gu]?"
"That's right. I discovered it when I sealed his Du Meridian just now." Qi Shizhou was surprised and said, "Captain Zhao is really knowledgeable. You even know this?"
Zhao Wumian shook his head: "I have only read some information in the archives and have some guesses. It turned out to be the Corpse God Curse Gu!"
This man in black had no pulse, as if he were dead, but he could move his energy and breathe, which were all signs of being infected with the Corpse God Curse.
Corpse God Curse Gu, one of the seven deadly Gu in Miao area, is also known as Corpse Gu and Divide God Gu.
This kind of poisonous insect is extremely dangerous and difficult to refine!
Zhao Wumian remembered the records that in order to refine this Gu, the Gu master must let the mother Gu parasitize in his own spleen, endure the pain of being bitten by the Gu, and nourish it with his essence and blood for ten years or even longer, before he can achieve telepathic communication and succeed!
After that, the mother Gu gives birth to child Gu, which live in the corpse and can merge with the corpse. The Gu Master can then influence the child Gu through the mother Gu, thereby controlling the corpse.
The stronger the mother Gu is, the stronger the child Gu is, and the stronger the zombies it controls are!
Some powerful Gu Masters can even use sub-Gu to retain the abilities and true Qi of the deceased before his death, so as to control them remotely and achieve the effect of "resurrection from the dead", which is very strange!
This person is dead.
He is just a puppet of the Gu Master behind the scenes.
The one who is destined to be unlucky is someone else.
"The Miaojiang Gu technique is truly mysterious."
Zhao Wumian was deeply impressed: "Controlling a walking corpse, a living dead, is actually no different from an ordinary person, and can also assassinate and escape. The Gu Master hiding behind the scenes must be a high-level member of the Five Poisons Sect... In this case, didn't we catch him in vain? What can we read from such a dead person?" "It is indeed very difficult, but it is not in vain."
Qi Shizhou said, "At least we have eliminated a secret branch of the White Lotus Sect, and we know that the White Lotus Sect is colluding with the Five Poison Sect, and we have also obtained their magic weapons. Even for the White Lotus, Five Poison, and Dali Duan Sects, which have a long history, there are only a handful of such magic weapons, and each one is precious! Not only have we crushed their conspiracy, but we have also obtained these treasures. It will be even more difficult for them to cause trouble again."
And this walking corpse.
To be able to communicate with each other to this extent must have cost the Gu Master countless efforts behind the scenes.
Now that it's all destroyed, this loss will also help the army advance westward.
Zhao Wumian nodded and was about to speak when the man in black suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Zhao Wumian with cold eyes!
The Du channel of this corpse is blocked, so whether he is dead or alive, he has no luck.
But there is still poison and Gu in the corpse!
Zhao Wumian immediately held his breath and stepped back. Qi Shizhou activated his true Qi and released protective Qi to cover the two of them.
"Zhao Wumian..."
The man in black suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse and unpleasant, as if two pieces of rotten wood were rubbing against each other: "I will remember you."
"hehe."
Zhao Wumian sneered: "I've heard this sentence many times, but I'm still alive and well!"
"well said!"
A white shadow flashed into the red sleeves, and Jiang Huan, wearing a cloud-patterned flying fish suit, led a large group of Jinyiwei to rush in.
While he ordered the various households to seal off the building and arrest people, causing a commotion, he flew up to the third floor and said to the man in black, "There is only one person in the Five Poison Sect who has a corpse Gu as his life Gu and has such a high level of cultivation, the left protector 'Yin Mo' Ming Benren! You dared to assassinate the prince, you are simply courting death! Old man, how does it feel to lose your wife and your army?"
Jiang Huan's face was full of sarcasm.
Ming Benren did not refute, but sighed softly: "It is true that we failed at the last moment, but..."
He changed the subject and sneered at Jiang Huan: "You want to conquer Yunnan, it's wishful thinking. The Wushen Cult has a great shaman coming to help. I am waiting to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!"
"Shameless talk!"
Jiang Huan sneered, "Even the Northern Yuan army was chased by my Ming cavalry. The Great Shaman is nothing! The Wushen Cult is nothing! If they were really capable, why would they suffer continuous losses?"
Ming Benren said: "There is also the Saint Girl."
Jiang Huan paused.
Ming Benren sneered: "She is the saint who assisted Kuokuo Timur and General He Zongzhe to defeat your great marshal Xu Da in the second year of Xuanguang (the fifth year of Hongwu)! Borjigin Surig!"
Jiang Huan said: "That old woman is not dead yet."
Ming Benren said: "The Saint's spiritual body, even if you die, she can't die!"
Jiang Huan mocked, "You are a guardian of the Five Poison Sect, yet you are so respectful of the crappy Saintess of the Wushen Sect. What? Are you planning to change your sect?"
Ming Benren stopped looking at him and looked at Zhao Wumian: "You destroyed my clone! We will settle this account slowly."
After saying this, he closed his eyes and cut off contact.
The Gu worm is different from humans. It is just a receiver and cannot store memories. It is impossible to search the soul. At most, the Gu Master's location can be found by following the sensation. But Ming Benren has made it clear that his real body is in Yunnan. There is no need to do anything against the Gu worm.
"You run so fast, old man!"
Jiang Huan cursed and patted Zhao Wumian on the shoulder: "Don't worry, even if it is a corpse Gu, it will take countless time to raise a zombie that is so handy. It is hard to say whether ordinary zombies can leave Yunnan. Don't be afraid of him!"
"Ah."
Zhao Wumian nodded and asked curiously, "Sir, the Saint he just mentioned..."
There is no specific information about that battle in the archives.
Is that saint really not simple?
Jiang Huan hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Boerjijin Surig is considered a gifted person even among the Golden Family. The most difficult thing is that, like Temujin, she has a psychic body... You know the [Sky Fox], right?"
Zhao Wumian nodded.
——The "Records of Strange Things in China" records: A fox becomes a witch at the age of fifty, good at bewitching and can confuse and make people lose their minds. At the age of one hundred, it becomes a divine witch and can know things thousands of miles away. At the age of one thousand, it can communicate with the sky and become a celestial fox.
The strange beast from the mountains and seas that Shao Yong cultivated was the celestial fox, which possessed the power to reach the sky!
Zhao Wumian said: "Could it be possible that this person can also reach the sky..."
"That's not the case, but it's also not to be underestimated."
Jiang Huan said seriously: "The psychic body can carry the 'primordial spirit' and 'spiritual body'. Legend has it that if one cultivates to the sixth realm, one can die but the soul does not disperse, and be reborn. There are very few warriors who can reach this realm, but there are still some mountain and sea beasts that can reach this realm. After all, lifespan is their advantage, especially for the sky fox, which can easily live for hundreds or thousands of years...
People with psychic bodies can see the spirits floating between heaven and earth, and then worship and seek their help. The first witches of the Wushen Cult mainly cultivated their physical bodies, leaving only the sea of qi, in order to carry such spirits. However, this kind of physique has become less and less as time goes by. As far as I know, there is only one Su Rige in Beiyuan today, and he is already over 60 years old. "
Zhao Wumian was surprised and said, "With the help of the sixth realm spirit, then she is invincible, right?"
"Do not."
Jiang Huan said: "This kind of power cannot be activated at will, and it has many flaws. First, the spiritual body is under great burden. When the spiritual person has not achieved fusion with the spiritual body, most of them are strong and powerful. Once they are fused, it is like carrying a mountain, and the body is bound to be weak and can be easily defeated. Second, the art of communication is not so easy to activate. Back then, Zhuge Kongming borrowed wind at the Red Cliff and went on stage to pray to the sky for three hours and three quarters. He borrowed a strong wind for three days and three nights. If there was a mistake in the middle, the work would be in vain. Mr. Kongming's cultivation is unfathomable, and he has the help of the Eight Diagrams, but it is still so time-consuming and labor-intensive. What's more, this woman is borrowing the power of others, and then using the art of communication, it must be even more difficult!"
"Hmm... hm? That's not right."
Zhao Wumian nodded first, then asked: "You just said that Temujin was also... Could it be that Temujin was also weak?"
Jiang Huan smiled bitterly and said, "He is different. His spirit body cannot live forever. He caught up with a Chilang that was on the verge of disappearing and merged with it. Chilang means the wolf of war! Temujin was able to conquer the world because of the power of Chilang. His descendants are known as the 'Golden Family' and all of them are gifted, which is also due to Chilang."
The corner of Zhao Wumian's mouth twitched: "It is indeed the [Son of Destiny]..."
Jiang Huan deeply agreed: "Genghis Khan, a great hero, was indeed destined to rule the country. Unfortunately, he is gone now. Now the world belongs to the new Ming Dynasty! When General Xu went on the expedition to Mobei, he certainly underestimated the enemy and was also pushed by that old witch. Otherwise, with Kuyuk Timur and He Zongzhe, he would not have been defeated."
Zhao Wumian asked curiously: "What did she do?"
Jiang Huan said slowly: "She ordered hundreds of beasts to charge, manipulating thousands of elks to break through the vanguard camp. Taking advantage of the chaos in the army, the two generals launched a surprise attack and injured General Xu..."
What the hell!
Zhao Wumian couldn't help but open his mouth wide. Is it so magical?
Such people going to Yunnan to help will not really change the course of history...
"What are you afraid of?"
Jiang Huan was amused by his expression: "Didn't I tell you her weakness? Qi Tian succeeded last time, but it doesn't mean it will work this time. She dared to leave the Mobei King's tent. Without the protection of those masters, with her old bones, let alone turning the tide, I'm afraid she will die there!"
