The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 325 Flying Soul-Seizing Claw

As soon as Lu Qian and the others left, they turned around and saw that the corpses in white clothes all over the battlefield were starting to stand up; those who couldn't stand up were also getting up.

After these corpses got up from the ground, they stared at everyone with their eyes blank. Their cold gazes were somewhat scary when viewed in the moonlight.

Why did these corpses transform so quickly?

Lu Qian thought and couldn't help but look at the big mound.

At the foot of the big mound, the small door was still open.

The dark door was wide open, as if waiting to welcome some visitor.

Guo Shoun suddenly said: "I probably understand what the formation is."

As he said this, Guo Tuan and Lu Qian looked at each other, and both nodded.

Luo Runbao looked at Guo Tuan, then at Lu Qian, and asked, "You... what are you talking about?"

Guo Tu said: "The function of this formation is to transform the corpse into a corpse."

After hearing Guo Tuo's words, everyone's expressions became strange.

As we all know, according to records in some ancient books, a long time ago, after a person died, the corpse would not undergo corpse transformation.

At least, it won't turn into a corpse easily.

But I don't know when to start.

Perhaps, it started after the last red moon appeared.

Gradually, people discovered that more and more people began to undergo corpse transformation after death.

Even in the end, some corpses had already transformed into corpses before the first seven.

Over the past few decades, there have been countless incidents of zombies hurting people every year.

Finally, in desperation, the court ordered that all the corpses be exhumed and burned one by one.

He also ordered that from now on, after everyone dies, they will not be buried in the ground, but will be burned on the spot.

This rule continues to this day.

As for the reason why these corpses transformed into corpses, no one can figure it out yet.

However, since the red moon came, this land was first abandoned by the divine court, and then all the ghosts stayed in the human world, and the human world was filled with more and more ghosts.

This world is gradually being eroded by demons and ghosts.

Compared to this, corpse transformation seems less important, and few people pay attention to it.

Later, some people started to think about corpses and ghosts.

The art of refining corpses, controlling ghosts, entering ghost paths, and other scheming arts have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Because of the power of these tricks, more and more people have joined the ranks of researching and utilizing ghosts, and a new dark force has emerged——

worship the moon.

From then on, the world became more chaotic.

Coupled with the conflicts between countries and the ups and downs of dynasties, the situation became even more out of control.

Although everyone knows that the more people die, the more powerful the ghosts become.

However, the killing among humans has never stopped.

It was not until later that the Dali Kingdom ruled the continent with iron and blood. After several generations of emperors' management, the regime stabilized and the situation was completely reversed.

In today's world, except for the wild areas in all directions, all other areas inhabited by humans have been brought under the rule of the Dali Dynasty.

Although there are some sect forces such as Qingxuan Guan that can still compete with the Dali court secretly, the two sides will not fight easily and have maintained a superficial balance for many years.

As for some forces among the people who tried to compete with the imperial court, they had long been eradicated.

However, although the world is "peaceful", the general trend of the world has long been irreversible.

Humans and ghosts have begun to "symbiosis" in this world.

……

But now, in a dark place like Lone Wolf Ridge, an ancient formation that can quickly transform corpses into corpses has been discovered.

Everyone in Lu Qian couldn't help but secretly speculate.

Did anyone do anything during the previous period of war between princes?
Is the cause of the transformation of the corpse a natural disaster caused by the coming red moon, or a "man-made disaster" deliberately caused by some people?

Naturally, they have no way of knowing the answer to this question.

Perhaps, if you go deep into the formation and enter the center of the mound tomb, you may be able to find something.

However, Lu Qian hesitated and decided to give up.

With his current ability and strength, these shouldn't be things he cares about.

His mission is to improve his strength as soon as possible, survive as much as possible in this strange world, and deal with the catastrophe.

After all, according to the Lunar Worship Cult, there are only a few months left before the red moon comes for the second time.

Of course, this is just the statement of the Yue Worshiping Sect family. Of course, Lu Qian cannot judge whether it is true or false.

Everyone was thinking about these things silently, but no one spoke.

At this time, the corpses in white clothes that got up from the ground just glanced at Lu Qian's group and ignored them.

They were either stumbling or crawling, but they all turned around and moved towards the large mound in the center.

Finally, they came to the open door and got in one by one.

It seems that there is something in this huge tomb that attracts them.

The door that suddenly opened seemed to be just to welcome them.

Seeing this scene, Lu Qian couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Is this tomb built by an unknown person to receive corpses?

These corpses moved fast or slowly, but their goals were very clear. They eventually moved towards the open door, and finally got into it and disappeared into the darkness.

Some zombies that were far away and had lost their limbs were snaking and squirming on the ground very slowly.According to their speed, I don't know how long it will take to enter the tomb.

Seeing this, Lu Qian waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

After that, he turned and walked out.

Naturally, everyone had no objection and followed Lu Qian.

It was not far from dawn, and they still needed to find a place to stay before dawn.

Daytime in Lone Wolf Ridge is no joke.

"Ms. sir, where are we going?"

Guo Tuo obviously thought about this problem, and he caught up with Lu Qian in two steps and said, "Before dawn, we must find a place to stay; but now, we have no guide, and we don't know where in the Lone Wolf Ridge. Is that a safe place?”

Lu Qian sighed secretly and said, "Let's go find Gu Xuan and the others first. They are more familiar with Lone Wolf Ridge after all."

Among the Gu family, apart from Gu Tianlai, Lu Qian at least knew that Gu Yundeng was also very familiar with Lone Wolf Ridge.Once you find him, things will be easier.

Just now, the direction Gu Xuan and others left was to go back to the road they came from.

Now that they have been led astray by Gu Tianlai, what they have to do is, of course, to go back along the original path and then find the route again.

They don't have a map in their hands, so this is the safest plan.

Lu Qian believed that Gu Xuan would do this.

Guo Shoun nodded and said, "My husband is right. But...where are those people?"

Lu Qian understood who "those people" she was talking about were.

Naturally, they were the "people" behind Gu Tianlai.

Lu Qian's eyes were dark and he said, "I'm afraid the 'those people' you mentioned may not necessarily be human beings."

Guo Tu thought for a while, then nodded in agreement: "That's right. Judging from all the signs, they are more like ghosts who have opened their spirits, or sorcerers who are evil cultivators, and definitely not martial arts cultivators."

Lu Qian said: "I also know that they are not very strong. They can only hide in the darkness and use some tricks. Otherwise, they would have just jumped out and joined in the siege of us."

Guo Shoun's eyes lit up and he said, "Not bad."

As she said that, she couldn't help but look at Lu Qian.

Guo Tuan has always been known for her intelligence, but she suddenly discovered that Lu Qian, who usually doesn't like to talk much, is very thoughtful and sees things very clearly once he gets serious.

Guo Tuan followed Lu Qian's train of thought and continued: "It seems that after seeing our methods, they knew they were outmatched and left on their own."

"Of course." Lu Qian said, "Ignore them for now."

……

Under the leadership of Lu Qian, everyone left the mound tomb and turned south. After a while, they returned to the road they had just walked.

There are some messy footprints on the ground, most of which point to the north; but if you look carefully, you can find that there are a few lines of toes pointing to the south.

When Lu Qian saw this scene, he knew that his guess was correct.

Then, Lu Qian spread his steps and rushed south with his mighty team.

After running for five or six miles, the sound of fierce fighting suddenly came from the woods ahead.

Suddenly, there was a loud "click", like the sound of a big tree falling to the ground.

Listening carefully, you will find that in addition to the shouts and the sudden clash of weapons, you can also hear the roaring sound of infuriating energy ahead.

There were obviously a lot of people fighting in the front, and the fighting was fierce.

Lu Qian snapped his fingers and walked forward quickly. Not far away, he saw that seven or eight big trees in the forest had fallen to the ground, leaving a large space free.

In the open space, there were about twenty people fighting fiercely.

There were seven or eight dead bodies on the ground.

There are two parties fighting fiercely, one of which has a larger number of people, while the other has only four people.

Although these four people were small in number, they were extremely tough and did not fall behind at all under the siege of everyone.

One of them, a man in his 50s, was covered in a light blue shield of true spirit energy, and a steel knife was flying rapidly in his hand.

Once his steel knife touches it, either the weapon in his hand will be broken, or the person will be split in half.

This person is Gu Hyun.

Lu Qian stood aside and watched for a short while, then saw that he had already killed four or five masters.

Lu Qian thought to himself: "This Gu Xuan seems to be stronger than those white-clothed masters just now."

And judging from his appearance, it seems that he hasn't used all his strength yet.

Behind Gu Xuan, Gu Yundeng and another Gu family disciple in his 40s were guarding him with knives, only defending but not attacking.

Ge Ning stood in the middle of the three people, and from time to time he stretched out his hand to point at someone in the enemy circle.

Then, a huge pitch-black claw suddenly appeared on top of the man's head and scratched hard.

As soon as he was caught, all the energy in the man's body seemed to be drained away, and he immediately fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, his face turned black.

Ge Ning stood in the center, and his "Flying Soul-Seizing Claw" was extremely intimidating.The enemies standing outside the circle were obviously terrified of his attacks that came and went without a trace.

On the other side, there was a Taoist priest wearing gray robes standing in the distance.

The Taoist priest was short and skinny, as if he could be blown over by a gust of wind.

His face was also dry, black and thin, looking as if he had been starved for a month.

The gray-clothed Taoist stared at Ge Ning closely. He bit the fingers of his left hand and drew a few marks on the palm of his right hand. Then he raised his palm towards Ge Ning and shouted: "Let you taste the palm of my Five Flowers Temple." Thunder's awesome."

Following the sound of shouting, a dazzling light suddenly flashed above Gening's head in the dark night sky.

With a "boom" sound, a thin bolt of thunder suddenly appeared from the clear sky, striking at Gening's head like a lightning flash.

At the same time, Ge Ning also raised one hand into the sky, and another dark hand appeared, grabbing the thunder and lightning.

There was an explosion, and the black claws were immediately split apart by lightning.

However, after splitting the black claws, the lightning itself also dispersed.

The cultivation level of this Taoist priest and Ge Ning are both at the sixth level of True Spirit Realm, but it is obvious that the Taoist priest's cultivation level is quite different from that of Ge Ning.

Therefore, although his "Thunder Palm" was obviously more domineering, he was only on par with Ge Ning.

This was Lu Qian's first time seeing authentic Taoist magic, and he couldn't help but feel awe-struck when he saw this scene.

Yin ghosts are very afraid of thunder and lightning.

After the gray-clothed Taoist sent out a thunderbolt from his palm, his dark face became even darker, his face became very ugly, and he even breathed heavily.

It seemed that his cultivation was not enough. He only fired a palm thunder and then misfired.

……

……

The scene in front of them was very obvious. On their way back, Gu Xuan and the other four encountered another wave of people entering the mountain.

I don’t know why, but they fought together.

Of course, none of the corpses on the ground belonged to Gu Hyun.

Gu Xuan alone, under siege, had actually killed seven or eight people on the other side.

Some people had obviously suffered stab wounds and retreated to the outside.

As one of the five great martial arts families, the Gu family has a well-deserved reputation.

This Gu Xuan is probably already at the pinnacle among sixth-grade martial arts cultivators.

Outside the battle circle, there was another wave of people standing in the woods on the other side.

There were only six people in this group, and they were obviously another team entering the mountain.

Five of these six people were in their 50s or [-]s. They were wearing mysterious clothes, carrying weapons on their waists, and had cold eyes. They looked like masters in martial arts.

The other person is a white-faced scholar about 30 years old, wearing blue clothes. He has a delicate folding fan in his hand, turning it up and down in the palm of his hand. He looks quite comfortable.

Although she was dressed as a man, she was obviously a woman, and the bulge on her chest could not be concealed in any way.

The six of them looked at the battlefield quietly, as if they were not involved.

When Lu Qian's large force arrived, the six people's eyes turned around, and when they saw Lu Qian and others, their faces showed surprise.

Everyone on the battlefield was concentrating on attacking each other, and for a while they didn't even notice Lu Qian's arrival.

Ge Ning, who was still mentally sharp, noticed the eyes and faces of the six people watching the battle, and suddenly looked sideways.

When he saw Lu Qian and the others, a look of surprise appeared on Ge Ning's face.

But after being surprised, it immediately turned into joy.

Ge Ning called out loudly: "Brother Guo, Brother Lu, it's great that you are here!"

Hearing that Ge Ning recognized this group of people, the expressions of the six people watching the battle immediately became solemn.

Even the woman in blue stopped turning the fan in her hand. She glanced at everyone, and finally her eyes fell on Lu Qian's face, her expression full of curiosity.

At the same time, everyone who besieged Gu Xuan also took the time to look at Lu Qian. Their expressions also changed drastically when they suddenly saw so many people.

Gu Xuan and Ge Ning are enough to give them a headache, but the other party has so many new troops coming, what should they do?
For a moment, some people's faces showed signs of retreat.

The gray-robed Taoist glanced at Lu Qian and the others. He was sizing up everyone when suddenly someone shouted: "Master Qi, it's not possible, please retreat."

When these words came out, several people immediately echoed: "Yes, Master Qi, please stop."

"Get out first."

These people not only talked, but also began to retreat in an orderly manner and began to break away from the battle circle.

Ge Ning and Gu Xuan also did not take advantage of the situation to pursue them.

The fierce battle suddenly relaxed.

The skinny Taoist priest known as "Qi Guanzhu" immediately became furious when he heard this. He glared at Lu Qian fiercely, and then scolded everyone: "You are not allowed to retreat. Such a good opportunity today must be We need to take down the great enemy Gu Xuan first!"

After he finished speaking, he turned back and glared at Lu Qian and others fiercely, his eyes full of threats.

It was obvious that he intended to intimidate and warn Lu Qian and others not to take action.

The people who besieged Gu Xuan seemed to be very afraid of Master Qi. After hearing his severe reprimand, they had no choice but to continue to besiege Gu Xuan.

The attack became more fierce.

Guanzhu Qi looked at Lu Qian and others, then at Ge Ning, with some hesitation in his eyes.

He only hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and suddenly bit his finger hard. Then he quickly drew a thunder talisman on the palm of his hand with the blood from his fingertips. He raised his palm and shined the thunder talisman towards Gu Xuan. .

Seeing his actions, Lu Qian immediately grabbed a handful of divine fire flying crows and threw them at Guanzhu Qi.At the same time, the spiritual power transmitted to the paper brides:

"Kill that Taoist priest."
