Li Zihua's first sentence was to ask if the Liu family had any natural treasures.
Liu Tao was wary and asked: "Brother Li's method of raising a corpse, can you show us first?"
Li Zihua's eyes widened and he frowned: "What does Patriarch Liu mean by this? Do you think that I, Li Zihua, am a charlatan?"
"Besides, the corpse-raising method is the secret skill of our corpse-raising sect. Back then, our ancestors risked their lives to get it from the mysterious sky boat. How could we show it to others so easily?"
Next to him, Liu Liuhai hurriedly smoothed things over, then pulled Liu Tao aside and said through a message: "Just follow what he says first, and I will watch him. If he is really a charlatan, it won't be too late for us to deal with him!"
"Okay, that's all!"
Liu Tao nodded, and then asked Li Zihua how to raise a corpse.
Li Zihua said: "Raising a corpse is like raising a human being. It needs to be done step by step. What matters is the word 'raise'!"
"After death, the body will slowly decay. The vitality in the body will be cut off, the tendons and veins will be closed, the Qi and blood will not be able to circulate, and naturally cannot exchange with the external spiritual energy. Over time, the body will slowly decay and stink.
“It’s like we closed the lid and made sauerkraut!”
Li Zihua said and gave an example.
Liu Tao and Liu Liuhai nodded, this example is very vivid.
The ancestor's body is now blocked in Qi and blood, the muscles and veins are blocked, the flesh and blood are drying up day by day, the internal organs of the body have begun to decay, and the corpse spots have appeared, which is really like the smell of pickled vegetables.
"So in the first step, we introduce spiritual energy to open up the blocked tendons of the corpse and allow the internal energy and blood of the corpse to flow. Then we guide the spiritual energy to nourish the flesh and blood, giving the flesh and blood a second life..."
"Your ancestor is a physical practitioner. It is said that the physical body is indestructible, and the tendons are probably as strong as refined iron. It is difficult to unblock his tendons. It is difficult to rely on the introduction of free spiritual energy from the outside world, so it requires heavenly materials. Earth treasure!"
Li Zihua explained the principles of raising corpses in a clear and logical way.
Liu Tao and Liu Liuhai benefited a lot from what they heard. They didn't expect that there are many ways to raise corpses.
"How are the fees charged?" Liu Tao asked.
Li Zihua's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "That's not necessarily true. Each corpse has a different degree of decay, requires different methods of raising the corpse, and the charges are naturally different!"
Liu Tao frowned when he heard this, feeling that Li Zihua was trying to trick him.
Because Liu Daquan often tricks others like this.
Especially when he was selling pigs, and someone asked him how much a pig cost, he would say that the price would fluctuate depending on the quality of the pig's meat and the feed it eats, whether it is a white-haired pig or a black-haired pig.
"We will hold a family meeting to discuss it and give you an answer tomorrow!"
Liu Tao said.
Li Zihua said: "You hurry up, the Zhao family in the east of the city is still urging me, I can't stay too long."
After that, accompanied by Liu Liuhai, he strode away.
After a while, Liu Liuhai came back.
"Erquan went to follow him!"
"Okay! Find out his whereabouts, then pry open his mouth and get the method of raising corpses." Liu Tao said, with a cold look in his eyes, "Let Yang Shou'an do it, he is good at this."
"clear!"
…
The cold wind howled and the sky turned completely dark.
Liu Tao sat cross-legged on the kang, wearing a crescent jade pendant on his chest, meditating on the Three Yang Body Refining Technique. A lifelike stove appeared above his head, making the room as warm as spring.
When it was getting dark, there was a knock on the door.
“Tuk tuk tuk”
Liu Erquan, Liu Liuhai, and Yang Shouan arrived.
Their bodies were covered with snow and their hair was white. After entering the house, they didn’t have time to wipe off the snow. They said angrily to Liu Tao: "That guy is really a liar!!"
"Haha, it's just as I expected!" Liu Tao smiled, with a disappointed look on his face.
Liu Liuhai smiled and said: "But it's not without gain." He glanced at Yang Shou'an and motioned for Yang Shou'an to come.
Yang Shou'an glanced at Liu Liuhai gratefully. The leader really took care of him and asked him to perform well in front of the clan leader.
"Father, I served Li Zihua to death last night. I got the news that he has no way to raise a corpse at all. This person defected from the corpse raising sect three years ago and wandered around the world.
"But according to this person's account, there is indeed a method of cultivating corpses in the Corpse Cultivating Sect. This method of cultivating corpses is incomplete. There is only the first volume. It is the ancestor of the Corpse Cultivating Sect who entered the mysterious world a hundred years ago. When I was in Tianzhou, I saw a mysterious engraving and copied it.
"There are nine volumes of mysterious engravings, which are suspected to be the secret method of raising corpses in ancient civilizations. The ancestors of the Corpse Raising Sect only have one volume of them!"
After Yang Shou'an finished speaking, he hunched over and remained motionless.
Liu Tao paced in the room, thinking, and said slowly: "Our ancestors regard our Liu family as a sacred weapon of the clan. It is the heritage of our Liu family. We can't be careless in the slightest."
"The corpse-raising method must be fully developed and thoroughly studied before it can be used by the ancestors."
Having said this, he looked at a few people and said with stern eyes: "For the sake of our ancestors and the Liu family, we must enter the mysterious sky boat and get the complete secret method of raising corpses!"
Liu Liuhai responded: "Clan leader, don't worry, I have already arranged for someone to find out about the mysterious sky boat."
"The latest news is that in recent days, the cold current has turned into a whirlpool, and the sea has been rioting. Several fishing villages have been submerged. Some people saw a black spot floating in the sea in the distance. Many people speculate that the mysterious sky boat has been swept out. seabed!"
"The sky surveyor of the City Lord's Mansion has made an assessment, saying that after this blizzard passes, the mysterious sky boat will be stranded on the coast."
Hearing this, Liu Tao took a long breath and said, "Go down and get ready. The entire Sickle Army is in a state of war preparation."
"yes!"
"Erquan selected eight tribesmen to be coffin bearers. They will be needed to carry our ancestors when we board the mysterious sky boat." Liu Tao ordered Liu Erquan.
"Yes!" Liu Erquan accepted the order.
Then, Liu Tao asked Yang Shouan what happened to Li Zihua in the end and whether he had dealt with it cleanly.
"Li Zihua was eaten by wild animals when he went out of the city to collect medicine." Yang Shou'an replied respectfully.
"The beasts nowadays are really fierce!" Liu Tao laughed, helped Yang Shou'an up, and touched his head to show his praise.
He was very satisfied with this matter!
Yang Shou'an was extremely happy.
A few people talked about other things and then left.
By this time, it was already getting bright.
Liu Tao pushed open the door and came to the martial arts field outside the nine-story stone tower.
At this time, there were already people practicing martial arts. Some people were riding horses in the snow, some were practicing body skills in the snow, and some were rubbing their skin on the ice.
Liu Tao rolled up his big sleeves, and the flying snow turned into ice lumps.
The ice lumps gathered together and swelled into a cylindrical ice bucket with a hollow center.
Liu Tao took a deep breath, took off his clothes, jumped into the ice bucket, and rubbed his body with ice cubes to polish his body and enhance its cold resistance and frost resistance.
Ice shards are flying around, he is practicing hard...
Half an hour later, he was shirtless, carrying a stone mill weighing a thousand kilograms, flying up and down in the martial arts field, practicing Fengxing Bu Qinggong.
The wind and snow are like knives, flying all over the sky.
Liu Tao is not afraid of the cold, and uses the quality of his physical training to not be afraid of hardship or fatigue, and his physical strength is slowly increasing.
All around, the Liu family members saw it, and they were all inspired.
The clan leaders are practicing so hard, how can they, as clan members, fall behind.
As a result, everyone on the martial arts field was practicing enthusiastically and shouting loudly.
On the nine-story stone tower.
In the ancestral hall, in the coffin.
Liu Fan's senses swept through him, and he could clearly see the scene of the clan members practicing in the martial arts field, and he was greatly relieved.
"Liu Tao, the clan leader, is very competent. He actively guides the clan members to practice and leads by example."
"I believe that under his leadership, the Liu family's development will reach a higher level."
At this time, Liu Liuhai came, followed by a group of sickle soldiers.
This team of sickle soldiers are wearing armor and have sturdy bodies, with bulging temples and evil spirits lingering on their bodies. They are all elite soldiers of the sickle army. They have killed people, seen blood, and have fierce eyes.
"Bang!"
With a sound, Liu Liuhai threw the force measuring stone on the altar.
"Everyone, come here. Since everyone is here today, we will choose eight tribesmen to carry the coffin for our ancestors!"
His voice was so loud that it spread throughout the martial arts arena and attracted the attention of all the clan members.
