Army of the Undead in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 57
After a busy day, it was already late at night, Liu Bian returned to the bedroom full of distress, ready to fall asleep with his head covered.Just lying down, there was a burst of light smoke from a wooden box in the corner of the desk, revealing a beautiful woman.Only then did Liu Bian remember that Cai Wenji, a talented woman who turned into a female ghost, lived in his room.Because he was worried that those girls and servants would see the skull when they were cleaning the room, Liu Bian found a wooden box with books and put the skull in it, and hid it in a hidden corner. If Cai Wenji didn't show up, Even he himself forgot about it.

"Looking at your sad face, you seem to have something on your mind?" Cai Wenji came to Liu Bian's side lightly without touching the ground, and bowed to salute.As a ghost, she always remembers human etiquette.

"Well, it's about the construction of the city. There are no skilled craftsmen in the city who understand the art of civil construction, which leads to..." At this point, Liu Bian suddenly stopped, and the digging and drainage of the entire city knew no more than Of the five, he and Yu Ji were careful to keep their mouths shut, not daring to let more people know, so subconsciously, he kept his mouth shut.

"Is it a secret matter in the city? Forgive me for taking the liberty, I shouldn't ask." Cai Wenji said quietly: "Young master, you don't have to worry about revealing the secret. The concubine is trapped in that skull and cannot step out of this room. Those who are not strong, can't even see the concubine's soul, let alone talk to each other. In the whole city, perhaps only Daoist Yu Ji and the young master can hear the concubine's voice."

These few sighs made Liu Bian's heart inexplicably sour: the beautiful girl, twenty-eight young, just at the moment when she was as beautiful as a jade, died tragically in the wedding night in the bridal chamber, and her soul would never see the light of day. The experience of being captive to the Huns for ten years and suffering from a foreign land is not in vain. This woman was born to suffer.

He asked too auspiciously during the day, so he naturally knew that what Cai Wenji said was true. It was unreasonable for a spirit body to exist in the world. For someone like Cai Wenji who had been absorbed by a red-clothed ghost for nearly a year, his soul power was already extremely weak. It is not bad to be able to incarnate into a virtual body alone, but it is determined not to leave the scope of influence of the host body.Without the support of the source of Yin energy, the power in the skull will only get weaker and weaker, and eventually the bones will be broken and the soul will die, and it will end in ashes and smoke.

In this case, why not talk to her?Didn't the history say that this woman is talented and a strange woman of a generation? Let's see what insights she can have.

Therefore, Liu Bian explained the idea of ​​digging the ground and draining water from the ground, and also detailed the accidents and landslides that occurred during the day.

After listening to Liu Bian's narration, Cai Wenji pondered for a while, and said to him: "I have read a lot of books since I was a child, and I have some small skills that I can't forget, but I have dabbled in astronomy, geography, astrology, feng shui. Draining, I have also heard that the spiritual energy of that day is definitely not so simple to attract, the young master is not afraid of fetching water from a bamboo basket, and it will be nothing in the end?"

Liu Bian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I'm really not sure about this matter, but the Xiongnu captured three thousand, and they can't be released. The winter is not over, and the spring plowing is not over, so they have nothing to do. Could it be possible to kill them?"

Cai Wenji nodded, and said solemnly: "These Huns have been burning, killing and looting at the border all year round. Horses hang their heads in front of them, and women are carried behind them. The men are killed, and the women live a humiliating life that is worse than death. Behavior of wild beasts, there is no shame in killing, you can kill."

This Cai Wenji, on the other hand, had the same thoughts as Yu Ji, full of murderous aura, Liu Bian couldn't help but look at her with admiration.

It's not his fault, after all the dynasties are different, even if he has the memory of the original Liu Bian, he is just pampered, observing all this as a "Shihou", all he hears is flattery and a great situation in the country, Who told him about natural disasters and man-made disasters?It wasn't until he was reborn from the tomb that he learned about it from various people.However, that "Liu Bian" was already dead, and the present him was the memory of his soul thousands of years later, and he always had some repulsion towards this unarmed prisoner who slaughtered with a knife.

Forget it, if even Zhang Jiao on the snowy mountain is powerless to dig the ground to drain water, then kill two thousand of the three thousand captives and keep one thousand.Liu Bian thought to himself, raised his head, and saw a flash of enlightenment on Cai Wenji's face in front of him, as if he had thought of something.

Early the next morning, Liu Bian went to the military camp in the city and ordered someone to make a thumbnail picture of the whole city, take it back and hang it in the room for Cai Wenji's reference.At Cai Wenji's request last night, he handed over to her the content about excavation and drainage carved by Yu Ji on the bamboo slips, and asked her to study it.And ghosts don't need to sleep and rest. Cai Wenji studied it all night and already had a general idea in mind, saying that she just needs another map of the city.

As for the cause of the landslide, under Cai Wenji's guidance, Liu Bian told Yu Ji again.After testing, it was much stronger.Liu Bian couldn't help sighing that knowledge is power, and his so-called third-rate polytechnic university was a waste of time, and he didn't understand all these ins and outs.

After a few days, Liu Bian and Cai Wenji became very close.After all, Cai Wenji is a ghost, and Liu Bian has no scruples, and they are in the same room, and after several conversations, they get closer unconsciously.At night, Cai Wenji will study and design the construction plan, and during the day, Liu Bian will pass it on to Yu Ji for implementation.After a few days, there has been little progress.

Regarding Liu Bian's identity and why he could do whatever he wanted in the city, even Yu Ji listened to him, but Cai Wenji tacitly didn't ask.From Cai Wenji's point of view, Liu Bian was always good at Taoism, as long as she helped him, he would definitely help her too.All she thinks now is that Liu Bian can let someone take the skull to Luoyang so that she can meet Cai Yong.

Naturally, Liu Bian was also thinking about ways to repair the skull.He will go to Luoyang in a few days, so he can just bring Cai Wenji with him.However, Cai Wenji is so knowledgeable and talented, and his peerless intelligence makes him feel a little pity. After all, in the Three Kingdoms, a counselor who can be reused is worth far more than a strong general, and it is really hard to come by.

Searched through the memories left by the Undead Lich, but couldn't find a way to cultivate the soul.After all, for most undead, they are born without a soul, just a walking dead.And soul research is the subject of necromancers. They often use it to torture the soul and burn it with the fire of hell to achieve certain goals.These are really not of interest to liches who are born to control the undead.

Looking at the busy Cai Wenji floating around in front of him, Liu Bian thought for a while, then stretched out his hand, and there was already a dark red trembling soul fire in his hand: "Look, does this help you?" ?”

Only then did he think, since the soul fire can provide energy to the corpse and allow the corpse to stand up again to maintain its movement, does it have the same effect on the soul form?Anyway, the essence of soul fire is also composed of soul.
