Chapter 155 Key Information
Snapping out of his reverie from the book, Chen Miao subconsciously glanced at his right arm.
Fortunately, it's okay.
After letting out a sigh of relief, Chen Miao's eyes lit up.
"This discovery is very important and crucial!"
Chen Miao placed the book on the table and began to examine the information contained within it, bit by bit!
“Zhong Cai discovered the second trap, while I used the Yin energy to discover the secret of the stone at the village entrance.”
"As for why my consciousness was pulled into that vast underground network... perhaps it's related to the Yin Gathering technique I used with my eyes closed at the time?"
"With my eyes closed, my perception is enhanced, and in the state of Yin gathering, I happen to become one with that network to some extent."
"That's why I was able to sense that network."
"Regardless, this information is very important!"
"This second network of underground operations explains two of my previous three questions!"
"Why is there no yin energy in the Three Scholar Trees Gathering Yin Formation? Because the yin energy is hidden by this second formation!"
"This second formation perfectly conceals the yin energy gathered by the Three Scholar Trees Gathering Yin Formation!"
"If it weren't for my discovery, we would never have found the tree roots in the wall unless we suddenly went crazy and started breaking it down!"
"Of course, even if we discover the tree roots inside the wall, we still won't know anything more about the second bureau!"
"With this discovery, all the other minor details can be disregarded."
Chen Miao was somewhat excited.
The character in the book had no idea what the 'thing' being pumped away from the thirty rooms was, but Chen Miao outside the book knew!
It's corpse qi!
Zhong Cai had never understood why a coffin that had raised a zombie would have a corpse-dissolving curse carved on it!
Why didn't the corpse gas emitted by the Corpse Dissolving Curse pollute the ground?
Now, Chen Miao understands!
The Three Scholar Trees Gather Yin Formation nurtures corpses. After the corpses generate corpse energy, it is extracted by the Corpse Transformation Curse and discharged into the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the second feng shui arrangement 'pumped' away the corpse energy that had been generated.
Because of the interconnected underground network, the pumped-out corpse gas will travel through the underground network and will inevitably pass through the open space to the west.
And buried beneath that open space is something that wants to transform into a flying zombie!
This corpse energy is the key to that flying zombie's advancement!
Everything fits together!
The reason why the flying zombie broke out of the ground ahead of time after the previous zombie mass destruction was because the flying zombie sensed that it had no hope of advancement and angrily emerged from the ground!
The reason why the spirit is kept in a family in Fengmen Village is to help that flying zombie advance to the next level!
To ensure that future generations would follow this custom, they even created this batch of zombies that could cook!
While using zombies to raise flying zombies, they also reused the zombies to transform Fengmen Village into a low-cost nursing home!
The practice of hiding 'corpse refining' within customs is truly chilling upon closer examination.
Who exactly was the person who orchestrated this? How long did it take him to figure out so many key points and set up such a scheme?
No, there should be more than that.
And those sneaky things!
However, those sneaky things are no longer important. What's important is how to use this crucial information to deal with that flying zombie!
"In this case, the corpse-dissolving spell at the bottom of the coffin is just as important as the zombie itself. It cannot be destroyed easily, otherwise, if the corpse energy is reduced too much, the flying zombie may discover the problem."
"Even if we reduce them to a certain level, that flying zombie will appear to stop us."
"We can't let that flying zombie come out for now."
"We can't let him out until we find a way to weaken him." With that in mind, Chen Miao began to go through all the information he had gathered.
If we want to weaken that flying zombie, there are only two areas where we can make changes.
1. The big rock at the village entrance!
That big rock should be the core of the second feng shui formation that Zhong Cai mentioned. The book also says that all the yin energy must pass through that big rock and then be pumped by the rock to all parts of the village.
So if we're going to make a fuss about it, that big rock could be a good example.
II. Coffins for storing corpses!
Or rather, it's the corpse energy that was extracted from the zombies!
After all, the final destination of all that corpse energy is that flying zombie, so could we make something out of this corpse energy?
poison?
Corpse aura is itself a kind of poison. Besides, what kind of poison could poison a flying zombie?
Chen Miao had an idea!
Incense smoke!
The incense smoke produced when combined with the Six Secrets of Agarwood!
If we're talking about poison, then this incense smoke is definitely the most potent poison for zombies and ghosts!
But soon, Chen Miao thought of something and shook his head.
Not feasible.
First of all, it would be impossible to use a second feng shui arrangement to pump the incense smoke to that flying zombie.
The network beneath Fengmen Village is intricate and complex. Putting aside whether the locust tree roots can withstand the incense smoke, even if they can, what kind of damage will occur during the process?
When passing through other nodes, will the incense smoke be attracted by the zombies and ghosts?
Secondly, and most importantly, when the three of them were wiped out the previous time, Chen Miao was surrounded by incense smoke, but he did not attack the unfinished flying zombie.
This is consistent with the situation when we dealt with that jumping zombie in the funeral home's cold storage.
The incense smoke generated by the Six True Techniques can automatically target enemies, but the target must be a ghost or spirit!
If it's a zombie, then an entrance is needed!
The entrance was pointed out to Chen Miao by the jumping zombie; it was about breaking through the zombie's defenses.
Thus, when the incense smoke enters the flying zombie's body, even if it cannot burn the flying zombie to death, it will greatly reduce the flying zombie's strength and defense!
The problem is, how do we open the body of a flying zombie that is still buried underground?
If you want to speak, you have to get close to the flying zombie.
Why not just recite the Six Mantras of Descent when you get close? Wouldn't that eliminate the problem of energy loss?
But this won't work!
No matter who gets close to the flying zombie, there is only one outcome: death!
Even if Chen Miao's century-old Seven-Star Peach Wood Sword could leave a hole in the flying zombie, the person wielding the sword would inevitably be torn apart by the enraged flying zombie, and Chen Miao's sword would naturally not escape the same fate.
Without the century-old Seven Star Peach Wood Sword, Chen Miao was unsure whether other methods could achieve a fatal effect on the weakened, unfinished flying zombie.
If I could exchange it for a piece of century-old peach wood, that would be possible, but how would I make it?
Chen Miao brought tools for drawing talismans, but not tools for making peach wood swords. Chen Miao thought a lot and brought a lot of things, but he didn't expect that he would need to bring tools for making peach wood swords!
By the time it's finished, that flying zombie will probably have already evolved into its complete form.
Therefore, relying on incense smoke is not a viable option.
"How can we weaken that flying zombie?"
Chen Miao flipped back a few pages and looked at his list of miscellaneous skills.
When Chen Miao saw a miscellaneous skill that he had never had the chance to use, he was suddenly stunned.
I went over the plan in my mind.
It seems feasible?
