The Uses of the Corpse Substitution Technique
Chapter 156 The Uses of the Corpse Substitution Technique
The spell Chen Miao was looking at was "Curse of the Dao: Corpse Substitution Technique"!
This is the spell that once appeared on Yue Xiaodao, turning him into an indestructible cockroach.
The medium for this spell is a corpse; only with a corpse can the next steps be performed.
Although Chen Miao owns a funeral home and dozens of corpses come and go every month, he cannot use them as a medium for casting spells.
Therefore, after acquiring the miscellaneous technique "Curse of the Dao: Corpse Substitution Technique," Chen Miao only studied it for a period of time to understand its effects, in order to prevent not knowing how to counter similar enemies in the future.
Because he had studied it for a period of time before, when Chen Miao saw the corpse substitution technique again, the relevant information immediately came to mind.
After the substitution spell is cast, it will create a strange connection between the corpse and the caster.
Under this link, the caster will be in a half-corpse state.
In this state, the caster's strength, defense, and recovery are greatly enhanced.
These enhancements all came from the corpse used as a medium for casting spells!
As long as there is enough corpse energy in the body, the caster can continue fighting.
Previously, Yue Xiaodao used the Yin energy gathered by the Soul-Suppressing Scripture to make the corpse continuously transform into corpse energy, thus providing him with a constant source of power.
Coincidentally, the flying zombies in Fengmen Village this time were related to corpse energy.
Even more coincidentally, there are thirty corpses in Fengmen Village that have already developed a corpse aura.
Chen Miao's idea was simple: to use the characteristics of the corpse substitution technique to absorb the corpse energy in the underground network in reverse!
This is just the first step; if successful, the subsequent steps are also crucial.
However, the subsequent steps must be taken after the first step is successful; otherwise, all your thinking will be in vain.
Therefore, Chen Miao needs to verify the possibility of the first step being successful before he can proceed with the next step of planning.
"There should be thirty corpses in the village right now, so even if I've never drawn a substitute corpse spell on a corpse, I have enough chances to try and fail, so I'm not afraid that the substitute corpse spell will fail."
"So the next question is how to get the corpses to absorb the corpse energy from the underground network!"
"In the current operating system of Fengmen Village, the Corpse Dissolving Curse draws out the corpse's life force, so when implementing the plan, the Corpse Dissolving Curse needs to be destroyed!"
"Without the Corpse Dissolving Curse, the corpse energy in the body no longer leaks out, which solves a problem."
"There's another issue, and that's the second feng shui arrangement!"
"This feng shui arrangement will pump all the yin energy and corpse energy in the room into the underground network, so even if I activate the corpse substitution technique and consume the corpse energy, it will be difficult for the corpse to snatch the corpse energy from the feng shui arrangement."
"Therefore, the feng shui arrangement of the house must also be stopped when the plan is implemented."
"How should the feng shui arrangement be stopped?"
Chen Miao looked at the contents of the book again.
Although the book points out that each house has nodes, it does not explain what the core of each node is.
Therefore, the best way for Chen Miao to destroy the feng shui of the house is to destroy the house itself.
Regardless of whether destroying the house is realistic, even if it were destroyed, the house might not be able to connect to the underground network, which is not what Chen Miao wants.
"In that case, it seems we can only make a fuss about that big rock at the village entrance."
"If the second feng shui formation can be stopped, then the 'pumps' in each house will also become ineffective. Without the pumps at the nodes, relying on the ability of the corpse substitution technique to absorb yin energy and corpse energy, there is a high probability that the corpse will be absorbed back at a certain node!"
"So, how can we stop the second feng shui arrangement?"
Chen Miao's gaze lingered on the sleeping Zhong Cai for a moment.
Zhong Cai, is there any way?
It's possible, but the probability is not very high.
Chen Miao looked away.
"Is there any way for me to stop this second feng shui formation?" Chen Miao reviewed his miscellaneous skills again, but none of them were related to feng shui formations.
"No, that's not right. It's the *Curse of the Buddha: The Great Compassionate Vow to Suppress the Soul*!"
Chen Miao forgot one thing: back then, Chen Guokun was initially misled into thinking it was a feng shui arrangement regarding Yue Xiaodao's matter!
Therefore, the "Curse of the Buddha - Great Compassion and Soul-Suppressing Sutra" actually has the effect of a feng shui arrangement!
Yue Xiaodao could use the "Curse of Buddha - Great Compassion and Soul-Suppressing Vow Sutra" to gather Yin energy within the field of the soul-suppressing sutra. Now, could Chen Miao also use the field of the soul-suppressing spirit tablet to cover that big rock?
Thus, the core of this second feng shui arrangement is unable to send out any yin energy, and the pump's effect is essentially stopped.
If the largest 'pump' goes out of service, will the entire feng shui arrangement be weakened significantly?
In this situation, can the Corpse Substitution Technique successfully absorb the corpse energy in reverse?
Chen Miao wasn't sure, but he could give it a try!
If you don't even try, then you're just waiting to die.
Immediately, Chen Miao mentally simulated the details of the subsequent implementation of the plan.
But suddenly, he thought of something else!
Something that has nothing to do with the present, but if he survives, it could very well land him in jail!
Qi Ning!
Qi Ning is an investigator at the Bureau. Although he is only a Level D investigator, Chen Guokun was able to tell that the Soul-Suppressing Scripture was related to the Curse Cult when he saw it.
If Chen Miao uses the "Curse of the Dao: Substitute Corpse Technique", will Qi Ning find out?
If Qi Ning recognizes him, even if Chen Miao successfully leaves Fengmen Village, what awaits him is likely to be a fate worse than death.
Chen Miao could not possibly be so confident that Qi Ning would disregard principles and keep his secrets after their two encounters.
Even if Qi Ning said he could, Chen Miao was unwilling to believe it.
Therefore, Qi Ning must not know about this!
The next plan is to get Qi Ning away.
With that in mind, Chen Miao began to make plans in his mind again.
……
Three hours later.
Qi Ning and Zhong Cai woke up one after the other.
Without hesitation, Chen Miao showed the two the wall he had dug open. After a series of attempts, Zhong Cai concluded that there was a second feng shui formation.
The three of them divided the work as described in the book, and Chen Miao arrived at the location of the two large rocks at the entrance of the village for the first time.
After gathering the yin energy, he did indeed sense the yin energy emanating from the stone.
This time, however, he didn't touch the stone again, but instead started weeding and digging.
When Qi Ning and Zhong Cai arrived because they couldn't find Chen Miao, Chen Miao had already dug a one-meter-deep pit under the two stones.
The pit also revealed the general shape of the stone.
It wasn't two separate stones, but rather a concave-shaped stone.
However, the lower half of the character "凹" was buried underground.
After Chen Miao dug out the lower part of the concave-shaped stone, he saw the three characters written on it.
