Lingwu: I am the only immortal

Chapter 180 Information
Later in the day, the intelligence summary came in.

A magical artifact was born in Yuxian County, and the specific location was the corner of the northwest city wall.

The city wall collapsed immediately.

According to descriptions, the lower layer even melted into magma.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is what emerges from the magma.

The scarlet spar is roughly in the shape of a fat spindle with sharp edges and corners. The thickest part is about five meters in diameter.

Such a big stone is surrounded by a dark iron ring and surrounded by four dark iron chains. One end is tied to the iron ring and the other end is submerged in the lava.

The strange thing is that there is golden energy that keeps wandering around the iron hoops and chains like nematodes.

And this iron hoop completes a kind of binding and pulling on the crystal. Otherwise, the crystal seems to be able to fly into the sky by transpiration of the heat of the lava, but now it can only float above the lava pool.

Then a group of extraordinary beings attacked the crystal.

Finally, the iron hoop suddenly shattered and fell into the lava pool, while the spar collapsed and several scarlet crystals flew out from inside.

These crystals glow on and off, giving people the feeling of a heart beating regularly.

And it will condense a three-foot-long bloody light, pointing straight into the sky like a sharp sword.

The extraordinary ones robbed these things, only three or four in total, and then dispersed.

As for the lava pool that lost its crystals, the lava sank downwards, burning out a charred cave of unknown depth. Soon after, a monster rushed out from inside.

Later, the situation became simple. Monsters broke into houses and killed people when they saw them.

Yu County is a Shang County (equivalent to today's prefecture-level city). There are two county captains, one in charge of military strategists and the other in charge of Gong Hucang.

The ancient version of the public security chief in charge of the war mage led a group of people to resist, but ran away when he saw something was wrong.

The other didn’t show up at all.

In fact, there are government soldiers stationed near Yu County, and there is a guard at each location.

This garrison can be understood as the regimental commander, in charge of 1000 or [-] sergeants.

However, it is almost the last generation of the Yong Dynasty, and even if the current situation in the world is not as miserable as Chongzhen, it is almost at the level of Wanli and Tianqi.

The population is increasing, land annexation is serious... that's what it's all about.

When it comes to the government army, because the emperor who founded Dayong was worried that the government army system could grow as big as the government army in the Tang Dynasty, so the specific strategy was more like the government army system in the Ming Dynasty.

By the middle of the dynasty, the other side began to become apparent. It was too harsh and survival problems began to arise.

But now, it is the same as the end of the Ming Dynasty. The empty pay is serious. There are 1000 or [-] people, but there is no real amount of [-], and then the old, weak, sick and disabled have to be cut in half.

The key is that last night, the defense was completely out of control. Not to mention the [-] soldiers, none of them were seen!

What exactly is the trick here? Liu Yuan's accomplices are too low-level to know. They just experienced what it was like to be surrounded by monsters and almost be annihilated.

In the end, it was the old man who used the magic to make everyone light and strong, and then they rushed out of danger.

Liu Yuan tried to boost morale by saying some yes and no.

But these people are not short-sighted, and they are all like this. It is obvious that they have not done their job and have made themselves embarrassed.

And the situation was still critical.

As the gang puts it, the mist is chasing them.

Wang Xiu also tortured multiple subjects before he came to the conclusion. Although he still found it incredible, he still reported it to Zhou Yi truthfully.

According to these people, the strange fog is formed by dark clouds falling from the sky.

The specific situation is like thick syrup falling, one after another, of course, a very big one.

Because scarlet lightning still appeared frequently at that time and the night sky was constantly illuminated, ordinary people could also clearly see such phenomena.

And once entering this kind of strange fog, fear will grow, and blood courage will decline.

The longer they stayed, the worse it became. Some people were so frightened that they had auditory and visual hallucinations, and felt sore and weak. This was what they saw with their own eyes.

They were able to escape thanks to the old man. He gave them a medicine that they had to hold in their mouths. It was extremely painful, but they had no time to be afraid.

After escaping from the disaster area, they saw Liu Yuan discussing with the old man, and told them how good Yunwu Villa was. Zhao Er made two large purchases, and when he went there, he could get a big piece of meat and a big bowl of wine. Thinking about Zhao Er's usual 'goodness' again, he immediately became energetic.

Liu Yuan also talked about the importance of soldiers and speed, and everyone felt that this was the reason, so under the blessing of the old man's magic skills, he rushed on the road overnight. It only took more than ten hours to arrive at Yunwu Mountain Villa.

After obtaining the information, Zhou Yi fulfilled his promise and let these people go happily.

Now that Zhouyi is short of soldiers, these people can be used to create Yin corpses to match the Yin spirits of the soldiers in Sanhepu.

In addition, as the Northern Yin Gui Emperor, Zhou Yi's extraction and use of "remaining energy" can also be said to be self-taught.

The extracted vitality can be mixed with supernatural power and then stored.

This thing is more useful for hanging your life than some century-old ginseng.It is especially suitable for those injured who have been invaded by evil spirits and have lost all their vitality.

One must know that when evil spirits harm people, they are devouring their souls and dying. If the victim is severe enough, that person will be withered, like a candle in the wind.

In this case, the effect of the Rejuvenation Talisman will also become very limited.

After all, rejuvenation must have a certain vitality potential in the target. It is a kind of stimulation and amplification, rather than the fact that the technique itself can give vitality.

The essence of life collected by Zhou Yi can be used as a great tonic, and because it comes from human beings, there is no such thing as "the emptiness cannot be supplemented".

Of course, there is a moral stain.It is said that it can be corrected, and it can indeed be done now.

But at this time and at that time, everything is changing, and human nature is also changing. There are countless examples in history of things that started with good intentions but ended up being extremely evil.

In the words of the Book of Changes: If human nature cannot stand the test, try not to ask questions.

But when it comes to his own turn, it is inevitable that he will show favoritism.

To put it bluntly, this kind of thing mainly depends on the strength of the will.

If it's not strong enough, you can naturally talk about your nature.

If it is strong enough, like now, knowing that this extraordinary power will be used a lot in the future and can save many innocent people, or one's own people, can you abandon it and not use it?
At least Zhou Yi is not yet able to have such a Taoist heart as the sky and see everything away.

In fact, Zhou Yi feels that he is already relatively hard-hearted. If he were replaced by a hot-blooded and forward-looking man, he would probably "go on if there are conditions, and if there are no conditions, he will do it even if there are no conditions" from the beginning.

Then he risked his life to do great things, even his life was at stake. Naturally, his face could be used to explore the grass casually, shouting: Everything depends on man, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, try your best to maximize the role of luck, one time Create a miracle for the first time and become a successful person who dares to die without dying...

He can't do this, just like Yin Coin's personality is not suitable for becoming a swordsman, his personality does not allow him to do that.

He felt that this might be the legendary character determining fate.He basically won't push himself to death, but it's also difficult to achieve high scores.

Like this time, when the incident occurred, people were more than 300 miles away, and there was no attempt to reverse the situation. How could it be possible to achieve good results?

If it were a man with righteous feet, he would probably have used Zhao Er's identity as a guard of Qianhu from the beginning of time to run up and down, jump left and right, seize military power, intimidate big families, and then start a battle to defend the human race at the critical moment. , accomplished heroic feats.

It's quite impressive, but Zhou Yi doesn't envy this kind of approach of 'if you don't push yourself, you won't know how awesome you are'.

That afternoon, he sent out reinforced scouts.

Yin spirit + Yin corpse + Tianlun secret method + secondary robe, these two scouts can be regarded as the first step to complete the template of the Youyang army that Zhou Yi wants to build.

However, serious sergeants wear black iron armor, while these two wear leather armor.

The task given to Ergui by Zhou Yi was not complicated, which was to observe the movements of the monsters on land in Yu County.

Especially at night, check to see if they are expanding.

After dispatching the scouts, it was business as usual at Yunwu Villa.

To use the folk saying of an old farmer who grows flowers on the earth: If you hear the crickets and crickets chirping, is it possible that you have stopped farming?
Zhou Yi believes that not only him, but also villages and towns hundreds of miles away in Yu County basically have such a charter.

The only difference is that those people are not sensitive enough to information from the outside world, have not yet learned the true situation, and are taking chances.

And he is the one who really wants to rain, his mother needs to get married, he needs to eat, and he needs to sleep. '

In fact, his calmness, or cold-bloodedness, was difficult to endure.

From a conscience point of view, he wanted to see it for himself.

From a profit perspective, he also wanted to go back to Yu County to see if he could rescue anything before the monster completely destroyed Yu County.

But in the end, it all turned into a practice of taking old age as truth.

It’s not very honest, because I’m studying “Star God Visualization”.

This method is indeed powerful, but practicing this method in the extraordinary world requires taking risks from the beginning.

That is to bet that there is nothing wrong with the stars you choose to visualize.

Zhou Yi seemed to have won a bet in the world of club cultivation before.

Having tasted the sweetness, I chose to take the risk and bind the Lunar Star this time.

The main reason is that the Taiyin Star has a very deep bond with the main world, and it is particularly suitable for his soul and even the extraordinary power characteristics of the Beiyin Emperor.

Compared with strengthening the soul, cultivating the body seems much easier.

Zhouyi's current daily practice, in addition to the 'Zhou Tianfa' and 'Banlan Wu', saves only eating and drinking.

He prescribed the prescriptions himself, prepared the medicinal diet, and then supplemented it with the body shaping talisman, the health talisman, the body strengthening talisman, the body control talisman, and the unification talisman.

A set of five methods, powerfully tamping the body that was damaged by the direct 1.8 before.

Normally, foundation building is preceded by Qi training.

Although it is faster, there is a saying of building a foundation in a hundred days.

But after all, there is still a foreshadowing process.

He didn't do this part well enough before, and he suffered injuries as a result.

Similar to muscle overuse injuries, but very different in nature.

This is mainly because the energy infection is not in place.

The specific process is more like the production process of rattan armor. In order for the rattan armor to be strong enough and anti-corrosion, the water in the rattan armor needs to be replaced with oil.This process is often very thorough soaking.

If you make it up without soaking it in place, there will still be hidden dangers even if it is successful.

Zhou Yi is now making up for this lesson afterwards.

It is indeed more troublesome, and the cost of work is several times higher than if the preparations are in place in advance.

But it's not without its bright sides.

The good side, simple understanding, is to act downward.

It's like having the intellectual literacy of a high school student and then taking a new course at the junior primary level.Not to mention that it is easy to do, but it is definitely not a big worry.

Zhou Yi himself estimated that he could complete the 'make-up lessons' in ten days, and today was already the seventh day.

On the morning of the eighth day, the scouts used crows to send back the message that the monsters had not spread to the surrounding areas.

There is no doubt that this is good news.

Not only the surrounding villages and towns have more time to deal with disasters.What's more, this situation shows that the monster is probably a group of extraordinary versions of beasts.

Comparing it to a pack of wolves, when they first come to your land and have a delicious meal, they will choose to eat, then patrol the area and hunt. After confirming that the area has abundant water and grass and no natural enemies, they will choose a place to build a nest and turn the area into a own hunting territory.

This step is a progressive mode. The beast's wisdom is only enough to take one step at a time, but cannot think too far ahead.

If it were an intelligent creature like a human being, it would not do this.

People will take advantage of emergencies to plunder violently, and then shrink, shift, or further expand according to the situation.

Yu County has a population of more than 60, and the county seat has more than [-] people. The province's villages and towns are widely distributed in Yu County.

If they encounter the latter, at least one-third will die miserably or become food for monsters, and the rest will basically be refugees.

The problem is huge. With hundreds of thousands of victims, it is estimated that half of them died in this severe winter, given the organizational mobilization, accommodation and logistics capabilities of this era.

The reason why the estimate is so high is because this is the end of the dynasty, and life at the bottom is already difficult.They have no food or drink, but they have to work like cattle and horses, and their physical fitness is generally poor.

In such a background, to put it bluntly, if you let him go, he won't be able to run very far.

In this county, some people freeze to death every winter.

This kind of freezing death is not like the ice sculptures shown in movies and TV shows, but is similar to being soaked in cold water for a long time. Loss of temperature leads to organ failure.

Especially the young and old, whose own resistance is low and do not have enough food to maintain calories, will freeze to death even if they are under the covers.

After all, the quilt is not an electric blanket, it does not provide heat itself, and in this era, warmth is generally not done well. The cotton-padded clothes are stuffed with straw instead of cotton. If you can hold an animal to keep warm, you are considered a good person.

Precisely because he was in awe of these objective factors and knew that the amount of materials involved in disaster relief was astronomical, Zhou Yi did not dare to shoulder the heavy burden.

However, when he learned from the scout's report that there seemed to be people in Yu County resisting, he decided to do something.

He summoned Wang Xiu and asked him to take the "Lao Yin Ban" to the county seat and act according to the opportunity.

The so-called "Old Yin Class" are Yin spirit sergeants who use the Yin corpses obtained from the Yunwu Peak Cave as carriers.

Because they have been infiltrated by the evil force for a long enough time, these old corpses can easily be transformed into extraordinary bodies whose body strength is even better than that of foundation-building monks.

Of course, from a monastic point of view, this is nothing to envy. This kind of power narrows the path from the root, is even too extreme, and has obvious shortcomings. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is useless through practice.

As for those who are said to be able to achieve something after taking this road, they are really the road of the devil. They need to use the vitality of hundreds of millions of creatures to make up for the gaps. Stretching, that kind of consciousness is like sinking into the sea of ​​eternal nightmare, occasionally popping up on the level of reason and then sinking quickly, it makes one shudder to think about it.

The road of corpse cultivation is difficult, and being captured by other monks and made into a puppet is also a manifestation of his disaster.

Just like now, although the Yin spirit from the Sanhepu ancient battlefield can't exert the full strength of the old corpse, there is no extraordinary power condition for it to fully fire.But if conditions permit, you can also pretend to be a congenital warrior.

Ten innate warriors, this combat force is considered luxurious even in the Great Xia of the Green Star.

Zhou Yi gave Wang Xiu such power to control because Wang Xiu was a senior military officer and had more experience in the use of manpower, and his vision and thinking were broader.

Even so, Zhou Yi still granted him a magic weapon to help him.

After all, when two parties are fighting, you can't just look at how luxurious your own lineup is, but you also have to look at the combat power of the other side.

In Zhou Yi's opinion, these monsters that landed on land were at least as good as high-level martial arts masters per capita.
