In the ancestral hall.
Liu Tao and others knelt in front of Liu Fan's shrine, holding Liu Fan's coffin, with faces full of remorse and heartache.
"The flesh of our ancestors is indestructible, but we have unearthed it time and time again. Now it is scarred. We are guilty!" Liu Tao reflected on himself and kowtowed deeply to Liu Fan's throne.
"Admit your mistake to your ancestors!"
"Report to the ancestors!"
"Please forgive me, ancestor!"
Behind him, Liu Liuhai and others also kowtowed and admitted their mistake.
Liu Erquan's face was full of shame. He actually suspected that his ancestor had faked his corpse. Now he knelt in front of his ancestor's shrine. He burned three sticks of incense and kowtowed three times to pray for his ancestor's forgiveness.
"We have been asking our ancestors for blessings and blessings, but as descendants, how have we ever considered for our ancestors?!"
Liu Liuhai looked at Liu Tao and complained dissatisfiedly: "Last time I said that I would burn more paper figurines for my ancestors, but it's been so many days and they haven't been burned yet!"
"There is also this coffin of our ancestors. It must have been cut and chipped from wood in the forest of the Living Dead Sect last time. It has been so many days and the weather has been freezing cold. Let our ancestors lie in this broken tree coffin and blow. Northwest wind!"
"It's New Year's Eve soon, and we need to worship our ancestors. Are you ready for the wine, meat, and incense?"
Liu Tao was stunned for a moment.
He never expected that Liu Liuhai would fire at him!
It seems that the physical examination given to the ancestor today stimulated Liu Liuhai!
When Liu Tao saw Liu Liuhai's serious face, he didn't look like he was joking, and he seriously promised that he would implement these things immediately and would never wrong his ancestor again.
At this time.
Outside the ancestral hall, Liu Sanhai's anxious and joyful voice came.
"The little guy inside the egg is out!"
"Come and see!"
The voice was still echoing, and he had already run in like a gust of wind.
In his arms, he held a small black thing, which looked like a snake but was more ferocious than a snake. It was three inches long and grinned.
"Is this the cub of that water monster?!"
Liu Tao was surprised. He didn't expect the egg to hatch out so quickly.
And judging from its appearance, it is very fierce, with fine scales all over its body, and the two tentacles on its forehead are as slender as needles.
"Can this little thing be tamed?" Liu Liuhai doubted. He reached out to touch the little water monster's head, but it bit his finger, causing Liu Liuhai to scream in pain.
"You're so young, you're so fierce, you'll be even better when you grow up!" Liu Liuhai was furious, "I suggest you chop it into pieces of meat and offer it as a sacrifice to our ancestors!"
"Yah-"
The little water monster stuck its head out and grinned at Liu Liuhai. Its eyes were extremely agile and flashed with anger.
Liu Tao and others saw it and couldn't help but be surprised. This little water monster seemed to be able to understand human speech!
Liu Sanhai chuckled and said, "Even though it's small, this little guy is very smart and very fierce."
As he said that, he let go of his hand, and the little water monster jumped out, like a black lightning, and fell on the big rooster in the corner of the ancestral hall.
"Kacha!"
It bit the big red rooster's neck in one bite, then bit the chicken head, ran to Liu Sanhai's feet like a treasure, rubbed his trouser legs with its tail, pointed at the chicken head, and signaled Liu Sanhai to eat the chicken.
In the ancestral hall.
Everyone looked wonderful.
Liu Erquan and Liu Dahai were shocked by the ferocity of this little water monster, but Liu Dongdong felt sorry for the big red rooster that made him dance when he heard it.
Liu Tao said thoughtfully: "Sanhai, this little thing seems to like you very much!"
Hearing this, Liu Sanhai touched his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "Ever since I brought the water monster's egg home that day, I held it when I had free time and slowly hatched it. This morning, hehehehe... All the hard work paid off, and I finally hatched it out of its shell!”
"After it broke out of its shell, the first thing it saw was me, so it must have thought of me as its mother!"
"I named it Black Egg!"
When Liu Tao and others heard this, their heads were filled with black lines.
Liu Erquan suggested: "It inherits the bloodthirsty cruelty of the water monster in its blood, and its instinct is to kill. If it is not well tamed, it will turn into a very ferocious creature!"
When Liu Sanhai heard this, his expression was gloomy. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Give me a month to tame it. If it doesn't work, just follow Liu Hai's instructions and chop it down as a sacrifice to our ancestors!"
"Yah-"
The little water monster climbed up Liu Sanhai's neck like a snake, rubbing its head against Liu Sanhai's face, its eyes full of grievance and sadness.
"This water monster has really become a spirit!"
Liu Tao and others looked at each other and felt weird.
Judging from how much the little thing relies on Liu Sanhai, it really seems like he considers him his mother.
"Where is Erhai? I remember that Erhai also brought back an egg. How is it now?" Liu Tao suddenly asked.
Liu Sanhai chuckled and said, "When Erhai heard that I hatched the eggs, he locked himself in the room and got under the covers to concentrate on hatching the eggs!"
"What a shame!" Liu Tao was angry.
“Nowadays, there is a big problem with the remains of our ancestors, which must be solved as soon as possible.
"There are rumors in the world that there is a method of cultivating corpses, which can be used with natural materials and treasures to repair rotting corpses. I don't know if it is true or not. Let's find out as soon as possible!
"If the method of cultivating corpses really exists, then we will be able to repair the wounds of our ancestors' physical bodies and even increase the strength of our ancestors' physical bodies!"
Liu Tao pondered and said slowly.
In the coffin.
Liu Fan's heart was as calm as water.
Even when Liu Liuhai and Liu Tao examined him, he didn't show any clear fluctuations.
But at this moment, his heart couldn't help but waver.
If Liu Tao can really find a way to raise a corpse, then the process of his flesh and blood recovery will be greatly accelerated. In this way, the day when he will truly be resurrected and walk out of the coffin is not far away.
But does this method of raising corpses really exist
Thousands of years ago, he traveled all over the world, but he had never heard of any method of raising a corpse!
In front of the coffin, Liu Liuhai thought seriously about Liu Tao's words.
After a moment, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he suggested: "It is better to issue a reward order and offer a reward for how to raise a corpse!"
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed.
Liu Sanhai had just arrived at the ancestral hall and was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what everyone was talking about. He wanted to open his mouth to ask, but saw Liu Dahai winking at him, so he hurriedly closed his mouth. He suddenly guessed in his heart that maybe There is something wrong with the ancestor's body.
He couldn't help but feel anxious. He and Liu Dahai had sacrificed their ancestors, but they must not be discovered by everyone.
The proposal of placing a reward on the rivers and lakes was unanimously approved by everyone, and Liu Liuhai had full authority to handle it.
Liu Liuhai happily accepted the order and left in a hurry, calling for the black-handed Zhang San and the iron-footed Li Si to lead the sickle army and post a reward order.
In the ancestral hall.
Liu Tao took Liu Dongdong to help Liu Erquan, Liu Dahai and Liu Sanhai practice the Three Yang Body Refining Art, allowing them to quickly break through to the seventh level of the Body Refining Art. Their energy and blood were as strong as a furnace, and they were not afraid of wind and cold.
"Everyone should follow the method just now and guide the clan members to cultivate the Three Yang Body Refining Technique as soon as possible!" Liu Tao said, looking around at everyone.
"This is the most urgent task at the moment, so we can't slack off!"
"yes!"
Everyone left in a hurry and got busy.
The secret book of the Three Yang Body Refining Technique has been distributed for a long time, and it is a simplified version written by Liu Tao. At this moment, they are personally guiding the practice. The clansmen quickly got started, their body energy and blood are like fire, and they are no longer afraid of the cold.
In the next few days, on the martial arts field of the nine-story stone tower, everyone in the Liu family began to practice in the ice and snow again.
The cold wind was biting and the snow was falling heavily. The tribesmen rolled in the snow, wiped their bodies with ice cubes, and roared in comfort.
Several tribesmen who had reached the threshold of physical training ran a marathon with their upper bodies bare and carrying stone mills. Their energy and blood were as strong as a furnace, and the ice and snow melted wherever they passed.
Yang Shou'an opened the window and looked enviously at the Liu family's physical cultivators practicing in the ice and snow.
Then he climbed onto the hot bed, picked up the simplified version of the Three Yang Body Refining Technique that Liu Tao gave him, calmed down, and started practicing hard.
In the yard next door, the female disciples of the Living Dead Sect are also practicing. They have built a snow-proof hall and practice swordsmanship in the hall. Their postures are elegant and their swordsmanship is agile.
After Liu Tao practiced, he patrolled around, occasionally gave instructions to the tribesmen on their cultivation, and cared about the living conditions of the tribesmen.
Seeing Liu Daquan raising pigs on a snowy day and coughing from the cold, Liu Tao stroked his back and helped him practice the Three Yang Body Refining Technique, which promoted him to the seventh level.
Liu Daquan's blood was as strong as a furnace and he was no longer afraid of the wind and cold. In addition to being excited, he excitedly promised Liu Tao that he would work harder to raise pigs in the future. Even if the price of pork in Chaos Black Street increased, he would ensure that his tribe had meat. eat!
time flies.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
The flying snow has stopped.
The cold wind still persists.
That evening, when the lights were first turned on, Liu Liuhai led a Jianghu guest to Liu Tao's room with a happy face.
"This is Elder Li Zihua from the Corpse Raising Sect. He is proficient in the method of cultivating corpses. He once helped the Xu family on Paoma Street raise their ancestors!"
After entering, Liu Liuhai introduced Liu Tao to Li Zihua, a Jianghu guest he had brought.
Li Zihua is a thin old man, over sixty years old, wearing a raincoat, but with a red face. He obviously has very deep martial arts skills. His small eyes are shining, and he looks at Liu Tao with a smile.
"My method of raising corpses comes from the mysterious flying boat!"
Li Zihua's first words shocked Liu Tao. The skills and secret techniques of the mysterious flying boat were very extraordinary.
He hurriedly said: "Then how to raise a corpse?!"
"It's not difficult to raise a corpse, but it's rare that you don't have the natural resources and treasures!" Li Zihua said.
"Your ancestor of the Liu family is the ancestor of physical cultivation, and his physical body is indestructible. If you want to raise his corpse for his old man, the materials and treasures required will require at least a thousand years of medicine at worst!"
"Do you, the Liu family, have such a treasure?"
