I kept telling myself that I hadn’t heard anything, that I had to remember Guan Tianzi’s words, and that I had to trust Guan Tianzi. Even if I went back to look for Guan Tianzi now, what could I do? I am just a guy who has just become an underground burial master and has not been here for a day. I only go back to add nutrients to the old monster. But with this thought in my mind, my steps became slower and slower, and finally I slowly stood still. I couldn't help but think about the scene where the emperor was torn into pieces by a century-old corpse demon and cannibalized. When I thought of that cruel scene, I felt waves of irresistible sadness welling up in my heart. Then, I took a deep breath, took out a peach wood dagger from the package, turned around, shouted angrily, and rushed towards the direction of Guan Tianzi and the century-old corpse demon. I think if I run away from here now, I may be able to save my life, but I am no longer worthy of being a human being. The emperor can sacrifice his life for the villagers and me without hesitation, but I have to watch him die? That's not how people do it. Neither my grandfather nor my father ever taught me this way of survival. When I made up my mind to run back, I was surprised to find that Guan Tianzi was still alive, and his body had expanded amazingly, turning into a giant of more than two meters. Looking at his appearance as strong as a calf, he was actually as big as It is much larger than the century-old corpse demon. "Zhang Jun?! Why are you back again!" I stood there panting, looking at the century-old corpse demon who did not dare to approach Guan Tianzi easily, and then looking at Guan Tianzi who had several pieces of flesh torn off from his body and there were deep pits of blood, I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart. , roared angrily, "Guan Tianzi! Let me help you!" Guan Tianzi looked at me in disbelief. There was a trace of emotion and gratitude on his face. Without saying a word, he motioned for me to go in his direction. I ran behind Guan Tianzi and held on tightly. The peach wood sword in my hand - although I don't want to admit it, facing this terrifying corpse demon, my legs are still shaking uncontrollably. This damn corpse demon is a century old! How can I not be afraid? I only have a peach wood sword like a matchstick in my hand to protect myself. If this hundred-year-old corpse demon is determined to kill me, I will definitely not be able to survive. "Zhang Jun'er, you are really a weirdo, haha... Why, you really still can't let me go?" I don’t know how Guan Tianzi turned into the giant he is now, but the century-old corpse demon was obviously afraid of him, and he didn’t come close to him. He looked at me running back and said jokingly to me. "Yes, I can't bear to leave you - I want to see with my own eyes what a miserable end this damn old thing like you will end up in! I'm here to see your death!"I shouted excitedly at the hundred-year-old corpse monster, but the smile on the corpse monster's face gradually disappeared. I could clearly see the blood in his eyes flashing, and the next moment it became more intense. "If you don't eat anything as a penalty for toasting... I just let you little brat live. Now, you got it back on your own. If I don't take it anymore, you will still get it!!" The corpse demon roared loudly, and immediately rushed towards Guan Tianzi desperately. The cold air on his body was very strong. I saw that every step the century-old corpse demon took almost left a dark blue frozen footprint. Guan Tianzi shouted loudly and quickly formed a seal with his hands on his chest. I saw his body expand again and rushed out towards the century-old corpse demon. But at the same time, Guan Tianzi's face became even paler. There was a loud "bang" sound, and the two huge figures collided together. The century-old corpse demon was so powerful that it pushed Guan Tianzi like a bull and roared towards me. Guan Tianzi was angry. Shen Dantian shouted angrily, held the corpse demon's shoulder with one hand, and at the same time exerted force on his waist to turn his body over. The corpse demon was dragged by the shoulders and bent down. The next moment, Guan Tianzi exerted force, He turned around and threw the corpse demon directly to a hill not far away. "Rumble--" The boulders on the hill were smashed into pieces, and leaves continued to fall from the lush trees. After watching the emperor throw the corpse demon away, he kept breathing heavily. I saw his body. It seemed to be gradually shrinking, and streams of vermilion breath emerged from his sweat pores, like a balloon. At this time, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I understood what the emperor was using. This is Maoshan’s secret technique—Lingzong possession! After using Lingzong Possession, Maoshan Taoist priests can temporarily rely on the power of their ancestors to become stronger, but the price they have to pay is also very heavy. It is said that a Maoshan Taoist priest can use Lingzong Possession three times in his life, and every time It is tantamount to self-destructing one soul. When all three souls are destroyed, the soul will be scattered and completely disappear from this world, not even qualified for reincarnation. I looked towards Guan Tianzi, and I was surprised to find that I could actually see a faint white light shining from the top of his head. As the saying goes, there are three lights on a person's head, two on the shoulders and one on the top of the head. In fact, these are the three souls of the person. But now I see that on Guan Tianzi's body, only the last soul on his head is left, and the souls on his shoulders have disappeared. After a while, there was a sound from the stone platform not far away. After a moment of silence, there was a loud bang, and the stone platform exploded into pieces. The century-old corpse demon stood up from the stone platform with a wild laugh, even though it had just He was thrown away heavily by Emperor Guan, but there was not a single scratch on his body. Looking back at the emperor, he didn't know how many times he had fought with the corpse demon in just ten minutes. Almost no part of his body was intact, and blood was flowing down desperately. The possession of Lingzong cannot be maintained forever. It only takes a stick of incense. When the soul is used up, the emperor will be wiped out. "This damn thing...how come my attacks have no effect at all..." Listening to Emperor Guan's words, I heard a deep sense of powerlessness in his voice, and I sighed secretly in my heart. I guess I really fell into trouble this time. "Zhang Jun, I have a plan, and it is also the last plan to deal with this hundred-year-old corpse monster, but... I need your help, and after this plan is implemented, you will probably never be able to leave this Nanshan Ridge again. ” I took a deep breath, looked at Guan Tianzi's apologetic face, and said firmly, "Guan Tianzi, as long as I can seal this damn old thing, I can do anything!" "...Okay, Zhang Jun, I really saw you right. Compared to your grandfather, you are no worse." After patting my shoulder heavily, Emperor Guan stopped talking nonsense. He gently held up his cracked palm and lit a fire in front of me. The color of the flame was white. The moment it was lit, , Guan Tianzi's figure shrank in an instant. "This is my soul fire, and it is also the soul fire that has the blood of my ancestors. If you take this soul fire and draw a Maoshan square around the corpse demon in the Nanshan Mountains, the corpse demon will always be trapped here. You can no longer leave the formation." "...okay, I get it." Compared with just now, Guan Tianzi's figure has shrunk so much that he is almost the same as an ordinary person. Seeing the corpse demon rushing towards me and Guan Tianzi, we immediately divided our work. I ran with the soul fire blooming like a small lotus in my hand, while Guan Tianzi went back to restrain the corpse demon and help me. To gain time. I remember clearly how to draw the Maoshan Phalanx. First, draw the phalanx with the sun and moon flying by, then connect it to the phalanx of three tripods, and finally, draw the formation of a long snake, which is considered to be the complete completion of the Maoshan Phalanx. The only problem is that I can't lose my way. In a dense jungle like Nanshan Ridge, if I lose my direction on New Year's Day, everything will be over. Carrying the soul fire, I ran from formation to formation. Even with my high concentration, I did not lose my way. I ran through all the formations smoothly. But just when I was running the last long snake formation, I suddenly fell on the ground. A deep trench was discovered. This trench is open, and its shape is not square. It looks like a flat boat. It is most likely formed naturally rather than artificially made. But what attracted my attention was not the trench itself, but the things buried in the trench - gold and silver treasures exuding attractive light under the moonlight, and not only gold and silver jewelry, but also many fragments of pottery. , faded luxurious services, etc. are all buried in this trench.If I had seen such a trench before becoming a burial master, I might have just focused on the gold and silver treasures, but now, with the knowledge about Feng Shui and Kanyu given by the burial scriptures in my mind, I have Got a different idea. It was obvious that someone deliberately buried jewelry in this trench. I turned around and observed, and the terrain here was very consistent with my guess. But I didn't stay here longer. I didn't forget my mission. I had to carry the Soul Fire to finish the Maoshan Phalanx first. I put away my thoughts and ran hard, and when I finished running the Maoshan Phalanx and returned to where Guan Tianzi and the corpse demon were, I found that only Guan Tianzi was standing there. As time goes by, there is now a hint of fish belly white on the sky, and it is almost dawn. I looked at Guan Tianzi's still back, and suddenly felt a very bad premonition. I lowered my head and looked at the soul fire in my hand - the light of the soul fire was already very weak, as if it would dissipate if I took another breath. "Look at the emperor!" I hurriedly ran in front of Guan Tianzi, and I was so frightened that I immediately took two steps back - Guan Tianzi's chest and abdominal cavity had been torn open, and all the organs inside had been emptied, and only the skin was left! But when I looked at the soul fire in my hand, the soul fire had been completely extinguished. "Hahaha... Zhang Jun'er, don't worry, you will be next soon." When I heard the sound, I immediately turned around and saw a huge figure walking slowly towards me not far away. It was covered with ice-blue cold air. It was a hundred-year-old corpse demon. Its body was now covered in thick blood, and at a glance it was obvious that it belonged to Emperor Guan. Its two big hands had sharp claws like steel hooks. "You damn thing..." I was so angry that I didn't know what to say. At the same time, a deep sadness emerged in my heart - although the Maoshan Phalanx was finished, it failed to complete the last step. I have to give the soul fire to Guan Tianzi. After he takes back the soul fire and recites the incantation, I will be done, but Guan Tianzi is already dead. "Hey, I just found out that you seem to have got rid of the heart-eating Gu? Yes, it took a while... Haha, Zhang Jun, it's not too late now, as long as you are willing to stay with me and be my assistant, I can Spare your life."
