Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

After entering the passage, Chen Yulou and his party found that the several strong men in front of them were trembling with fear, and their voices were shaking: "Master Xu, Master Chen, we have met a powerful character this time.

" "He doesn't look like the Xiangxi Corpse King, but more like a ghost from the underworld!" "Yes, this is Black Impermanence Fan Wujiu, I've seen him in operas.

"

Hearing this, Xu Nuo couldn't help but be surprised: Could it really be Fan Wujiu? Does this mean that the underworld also exists in the tomb-robbing world? No wonder those elite warriors were so scared.

The Xiangling strongmen who followed Chen Yulou into the Dan Palace Baojing were all elites with outstanding skills and courage.

There is a saying among tomb robbers: "If you rob tombs, don't believe in ghosts; if you believe in ghosts, don't rob tombs.

“They are fearless people.

But Pingshan is full of evil things.

Seeing a figure dressed in black and looking like a ghost in the dark passage, one naturally thinks of Black Impermanence.

Some people who had seen the play even called out his name: "Fan Wujiu!" Xu Nuo then used the Queting Divine Eyes to observe.

Deep in the foggy passage stood a tall figure. He was of sturdy build, holding a strange handprint, wearing a black robe with a ghost face pattern on it, and on his two-foot-high hat was written "Peace in the World".

Seeing this, Xu Nuo was shocked. This thing was extremely similar to Hei Wuchang.

However, he quickly realized that this thing was definitely not the real Black Impermanence Fan Wujiu, because it did not have any of the power of the underworld's ghost messenger.

Even in a world where monsters are prevalent, a ghostly handsome man like Hei Wuchang is not comparable to ordinary monsters.

It is rare to see monsters on Pingshan Mountain practicing for three or four hundred years. Their strength is enough to crush mortals. Even the leaders of the Xiangling Lishi or Banshan Taoists find it difficult to deal with them.

As for the existence of Yin Shuai level like Hei Wuchang, they are not in the same league at all.

After careful inspection, Xu Nuo confirmed that the creature emitting a strong smell of corpse was just a corpse wearing the costume of the Black Impermanence.

Despite this, his expression was still shocked.

Because at this time, a voice sounded in his mind: "You discovered the Black Impermanence of Guanshan and gained some insights, and learned the method of refining the Impermanence Gu." How is it possible?

Who would have thought that just by looking at a corpse dressed as Hei Wuchang one could gain such magical powers.

Xu Nuo reacted quickly and immediately reminded everyone:

"Don't be afraid. That's just a dead body in front of you. It's not a real ghost messenger from the underworld."

After saying this, he did not rush forward, but carefully studied the Impermanence Gu he had just obtained.

After observation, Xu Nuo couldn't help but admire in his heart - the inheritance of the Gu God was indeed extraordinary.

The ability of this Wuchang Gu has long surpassed the limits of ordinary people's understanding of Gu techniques.

Its effect is to make the soul of the person who is poisoned leave his body, and directly lure the soul out of the body.

At the same time, this kind of Gu can easily restrain various spirits or ghosts, making them unable to move.

Weak evil spirits might even be completely annihilated by the Impermanence Gu in an instant.

The method of refining the Impermanence Gu is also very unique.

Unlike the traditional method of relying on poisonous insects or other creatures, it needs the help of Panwang Bowl to absorb enough resentment from evil spirits.

However, resentment is something ethereal and illusory, and not easy to collect. It usually only exists in the evil spirits of those who died unjustly.

Xu Nuo recalled that during the previous trip to Pingshan, Panwang Bowl had absorbed a lot of resentment. For example, the human head melons at the entrance of Pingshan Gate released a lot of resentment; and the Jingguan human bone tower in the mechanical city also contained the resentful souls of the Miao people who died unjustly in the war.

Now that he has mastered the specific method of refining the Impermanence Gu, the resentment in Pan Wang Bowl has gradually condensed into shape. However, even so, the quantity is still insufficient and is temporarily insufficient to support the complete refining process of the Impermanence Gu.

After some thought, Xu Nuo realized that in the entire Pingshan area, apart from the Xiangxi Corpse King's Tomb and the 72 Miao Ancestral Caves that had been affected by it, there was probably no other place with enough resentment resources to be utilized.

At that time, the Miao people around Pingshan were defeated in the resistance against the Mongolian Yuan army, and many of them eventually died heroically in the ancestral cave, especially many elderly, weak, women and children, at least tens of thousands of them died here.

If this area can be found successfully, then refining the Impermanence Gu will be no problem. After all, whether it is to make people's souls leave or to suppress evil spirits, this Gu is extremely effective and is really worth the effort to complete.

At this time, after hearing Xu Nuo's reminder, the other Xiangling warriors had put aside their worries and were no longer afraid.

Since they were sure that the person in front of them was not a demon from hell, these "living Tai Sui" in the world had no fear at all. They swarmed forward with all kinds of tools in their hands: long bamboo poles with iron hooks, centipede ladders and other equipment came into play one after another, and they dragged the black-clothed male corpse with the tall hat of "Peace in the World" on his head out from the depths of the corridor.

After successfully dragging the male corpse closer, everyone used shovels and hooks to dismantle the imitation Black Impermanence costume on the corpse.

Unfortunately, these clothes had fallen into disrepair and had been placed in the narrow corridor for at least hundreds of years. They were already rotten and would crack into pieces when touched, quickly exposing the shriveled flesh underneath the corpse.

The whole body was abnormally swollen, and it looked as if it had been soaked in water for more than ten days. If it was slightly touched by a bamboo pole or iron hook from the outside, it would begin to ooze out sticky pus and emit a disgusting smell.

As for the seven orifices on his face, ears, nose, mouth, and eyes, there was a layer of black powder left. It was unclear whether it was the medicine that the deceased had actively taken before his death or the traces formed after the bleeding dried up due to sudden death.

In addition, a series of rather strange small objects were found around the male corpse, including several small bottles and jars filled with unknown medicinal powders, several paper puppets, and a leather pocket containing some shiny black bean substances.

When seeing such a strange combination of things, the Xiangling strongmen looked at each other in bewilderment and said they had no idea where it came from.

He then promised to join forces with Chen Yulou and Queqiao Shao to come together for a careful identification, but found that only some details similar to the paper figurine of the woman in the paddy field costume could be roughly matched, and the rest, such as those strange beans, still could not be determined with exact names.

Que Ting's ability to identify treasures allowed Xu Nuo to recognize the origins of those paper puppets at a glance.

They are the raw materials for Guanshan Paper Figure Art, and retain trace amounts of evil spirits and specially made talisman patterns.

It’s a pity that due to long-term contact with corpses, it has become dilapidated and cannot be used again.

In comparison, the contents of those medicine bottles and jars are more attractive.

Guanshan Taibao is proficient in three special skills - the coffin mountain pointing technique, the smoke cloth insect repellent technique and the paper puppet technique, and the substances in the medicine bottle are related to the latter two: some are potions used to lure or control insects, and some can release poisonous smoke.

Although Xu Nuo's witchcraft skills were unparalleled in the world and he disdained the drugs used by Guanshan Taibao to expel parasites, he was very interested in the drugs that produced poisonous smoke.

These drugs can be divided into several categories according to their effects: some are used to create hallucinations, while others paralyze the whole body and make a person unable to move.

After realizing the effect of the poisonous smoke, Xu Nuo immediately walked forward, picked up several medicine bottles and examined them carefully.

In Xu Nuo's opinion, it is not difficult to analyze the formula, and he can even integrate his own toxin research to improve it and enhance the effect.

Although it is not a particularly powerful magical power, it is still quite valuable if used to arrange the defense of a cave for practice.

Xu Nuo handed the medicine bottles to Hua Ling who had been accompanying him, and said, "Sister Hua Ling, go back and study the formulas of these medicines. They may be useful in the future."

Hua Ling took the medicine bottle and an excited look appeared on her face. "Don't worry, Brother Xu. I've tinkered with this kind of thing a lot before. I'll soon be able to figure out what ingredients are contained in each medicine powder." Xu Nuo nodded with satisfaction when he heard that.

Next, he checked the leather bag for the black beans.

These particles, which are slightly larger than soybeans, are actually thunder beans filled with explosives and special drugs.

Their power is similar to that of ordinary firecrackers and fireworks, but slightly weaker than the hidden weapons of Honeycomb Mountain.

However, the sound is deafening, and it not only explodes but also produces smoke. The smoke is extremely irritating, causing people to have runny noses and tears, lose their sense of smell, and have blurred vision.

This kind of thunder bean is mainly used to cover retreat. In times of crisis, a few of them can be thrown to escape the enemy's pursuit with the help of the exploding flames and stimulating smoke.

Obviously, this Guanshan Taibao is quite cautious in his actions.

These thunder beans are also part of the smoke-scattering technique. Although they are of limited use to Xu Nuo, they can be used without any cultivation. If he recruits soldiers in the future, he can use them for his subordinates' self-defense.

Finally, Xu Nuo found something even more attractive—a gold medal.

The gold medal taken out from the black robe of the deceased was dazzling and engraved with four ancient seal characters, which read "Guanshan Taibao".

This is the authentic Guanshan Taibao gold medal. Xu Nuo held it in his hand immediately, and then a voice echoed deep in his mind.

"You gained some insights from obtaining the Mountain Viewing Gold Medal and acquired the Coffin Mountain Guide Technique."

It really is the Coffin Mountain Magic.

The art of identifying the coffin mountain is a profound skill that can identify Feng Shui patterns, analyze the direction of earth veins and determine the location of tombs in complex terrain.

It is somewhat similar to the dragon-finding and acupuncture point-locating technique of the tomb-raiding lieutenant, but both have their own merits.

The dragon-finding and acupuncture-locating technique is more accurate in determining the feng shui layout and tomb structure in open terrain, but it is somewhat powerless in certain specific environments.

For example, in areas with complex terrain, the vegetation is so lush that the surface is difficult to discern.

Just as Xu Nuo knew, Lao Hu was almost invincible thanks to the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique".

However, in places like the Worm Valley in Yunnan and the Coffin Mountain in Wuxia, the dragon-finding and acupuncture-locating techniques cannot be fully effective.

Similarly, Xu Nuo believed that in places with complex topography and dense vegetation near Xiwangmu City Tamutuo and Zhangjia Ancient Building, the effectiveness of dragon-seeking and acupoint-locating techniques would be greatly limited, which was also determined by the terrain conditions.

In this environment, the Coffin Mountain Guidance Technique is obviously more suitable for use.

It is said that the Guanshan Taibao lineage was originally active in the area around Wuxia Coffin Mountain.

The mountains there are steep, the forests are lush, and it is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round.
