Chapter 68: Qi Refiner

Huaiyu Mountain is a famous mountain in Jiangxi Province, with a radius of more than 160 miles, facing Sanqing Mountain.

The mountains here are rolling and the peaks are connected. At a glance, there are big trees with intertwined roots and old branches everywhere.

It is said that this natural botanical garden is full of tigers and leopards, monkeys, wolves and other wild beasts, and there are countless exotic flowers and plants, as well as magical herbs and roots.

It looks deep, quiet and sparsely populated.

In fact, it is not.

Because this is a national youth education base and a national patriotism education base, and because there is a scenic spot here, there is a lot of traffic and people coming and going here.

A red car slowly stopped at the foot of a sparsely populated mountain.

"Master, why are we here?" Xu Xiaoli turned her head and looked over.

Fang Yi blinked, "Are you interested in zombies?"

Xu Xiaoli nodded vigorously and said, "Interested, interested."

Fang Yi smiled and said, "Maybe there really are zombies here."

Xu Xiaoli became excited, "Master, good Master, you must take me to see it."

"Don't worry, wait until I find it."

Fang Yi said nothing more and released his spiritual sense towards the mountain.

Previously, when he used his spiritual sense to track Wang Yulin, he accidentally saw several Taoists who seemed to be talking about him. He originally wanted to eavesdrop for a while to see what this group of people's purpose in looking for him was.

Unexpectedly, I learned from two middle-aged Taoist priests that there was actually a hairy zombie buried in Huaiyu Mountain.

Fang Yi had never seen a zombie before, so he naturally became interested. After making sure that the Taoists stopped talking about him, he asked Xu Xiaoli to drive here.

The Taoists did not reveal the exact location where the Mao Jiang was hiding.

But this did not pose a problem for Fang Yi at all. With his spiritual sense, why would he be afraid of not being able to find it?

He controlled his spiritual sense to conduct a carpet search along the surface of the mountain.

It was almost noon and the sun was shining brightly outside, dispelling the smoke from the mountains.

The spiritual consciousness passed through the cypress, pine, hemlock and other plants on the mountain.

We also saw some wild animals, such as sika deer, monkeys, etc.

Fang Yi ignored the plants and animals and was only focused on looking for the hairy zombie.

Soon, the spiritual consciousness arrived at the Three Pure Ones Chaoxu.

It is located at a high point and combined with the sea of ​​clouds, it is like a fairyland.

But nothing was found.

Fang Yi was not discouraged at all and continued searching.

Sadly, there is nothing in the Alpine Range.

He had no choice but to send his spiritual sense to explore the foot of the mountain.

Soon we arrived near a rock wall.

There is a natural cave here.

The waterfall flows around the rocky cliff.

Rumble.

The sound of water was like hidden thunder, echoing in the valley.

Originally Fang Yi's spiritual sense had bypassed it.

Suddenly, he discovered energy fluctuations hundreds of meters below the cave.

"Hmm? I think I found it!"

Fang Yi quickly controlled his spiritual sense and drilled into the ground.

At first, it was all rock layers and you couldn't see anything at all.

But after walking about two hundred meters, the scenery in front of me suddenly changed.

A huge ancient tomb appeared.

This is a typical stone tomb.

Huge and thick rocks are built into an arch, and the gaps are glued with fish glue.

There are words carved on the stone wall, probably introducing the owner of the stone tomb, saying that he was a Taoist priest in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, named Wang Gan, with the courtesy name Mingyang, and he called himself Yudou Jushi. He had studied Taoism for several years under the famous Taoist priest Tao Hongjing.

Unfortunately, with Emperor Wu of Liang suppressing Taoism, Wang Gan had to return to his hometown and make friends with tigers and leopards. He was obsessed with refining elixirs, refining Qi, and refining tools all day long. Because he was unable to circulate Qi throughout his body, he passed away at the age of 121. His disciples built a tomb here.

It looks like he is not from the Neidan School, but more like an ancient Qi cultivator.

After understanding the basic information, Fang Yi quickly looked to the side.

There are two huge sarcophagi here, and he probed his spiritual sense inside.

Perhaps because this stone tomb is airtight and relatively dry inside, one can still vaguely see a lot of human bones in the sarcophagus on the left, which are probably the remains of Yudou Jushi.

Fang Yi looked at the sarcophagus on the right again.

Then, he saw an incredibly amazing scene!

There was actually a complete "corpse" in the sarcophagus on the right, about two meters tall, wearing black metal armor. It was covered with moss or some decorations, and it was a mixture of black and green.

There seemed to be densely packed, tiny traditional Chinese characters engraved on the inner wall of the sarcophagus of this "corpse".

Fang Yi was just about to see what was written.

However, he had not had time to take a closer look at the specific contents.

Suddenly, the "corpse" seemed to come alive, opened its eyes, and emitted a green light.

Then it slowly sat up, as if it had captured the spiritual consciousness, opened its mouth and spit out a white light, which actually destroyed the spiritual consciousness directly!

Fang Yi only felt that his eyes went dark and he could no longer see inside the stone tomb.

"Hmm? What's that?"

He was suddenly a little surprised and confused.

From what we just observed, that thing doesn't look like a human, but rather has a metallic luster.

Could it really be the so-called zombies?

Just as he frowned and thought, Xu Xiaoli asked in a low voice: "Master, have you found the zombies?"

Fang Yi said casually: "Maybe I found it."

Xu Xiaoli asked, "Maybe? What do you mean?"

Fang Yi stared out the car window and said, "I'm not sure."

"Then...should we go and take a look?" Xu Xiaoli asked.

"Come back at night. Let's go to the county and find a hotel to stay in first." Fang Yi pointed ahead and explained, "The thing that looks a bit like a zombie is buried near the scenic area. There are a lot of people there right now. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we should wait until night when no one is around."

"Okay, is there anything else to prepare?" Xu Xiaoli tilted her head and said, "I saw in the zombie movies that Lin Zhengying always prepared black dog blood and other things besides zombies. Should we prepare some as well?"

Fang Yi was amused by her, "It's hard to say whether it's a zombie or not, but we need to prepare some things."

Xu Xiaoli asked hurriedly: "What do you need to prepare? I'll go buy it later."

Fang Yi said: "Prepare a respirator and an oxygen cylinder."

"Ah?" Xu Xiaoli asked in confusion, "Why are you preparing all this?"

Fang Yi smiled and explained: "Don't you want to see what zombies look like? That's a sealed stone tomb. I have cultivated a golden elixir. As long as the power of the golden elixir is not exhausted and I don't breathe, it's fine. Can you do it?"

Xu Xiaoli suddenly realized and said, "I will buy a respirator and oxygen cylinder when we get to the county."

Fang Yi hummed, "Just take a look at it at night and leave. That thing might be a little dangerous."

While chatting, the two drove away.

However, not long after the two of them left, rocks suddenly collapsed on the other side of the waterfall in the distance.

Then a huge black shadow jumped in the mountain at an incredible speed, jumping dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.

It’s a pity that Fang Yi has not yet reached the level of being able to hear the sounds of heaven with his nine orifices, otherwise he would definitely be able to discover any abnormalities.

…

About half past one.

The two came to the county.

Fang Yi first accompanied Xu Xiaoli to eat something, and then found a place to buy breathing equipment.

Finally, the two checked into a hotel near Sanqing Square.

Originally Fang Yi wanted to take a short rest.

As a result, he was awakened by the doorbell not long after he fell asleep.

Ding dong, ding dong, it keeps ringing.

If most people were woken up, they would probably feel irritated or something like that.

But Fang Yi wouldn't be like that. Not to mention being woken up, he could even go without sleep for a few days without any problems.

The reason for resting is to reduce the consumption of golden elixir energy.

“Here I come.”

Fang Yi did not release his spiritual sense and thought it was Xu Xiaoli.

When I opened the door, I found two policemen standing outside.

"Uh, police comrade, is there anything I can do for you?" Fang Yi asked.

The short-haired policeman on the left said, "Oh, it's nothing serious. We received a notice from above that a murderer has fled here. This murderer is very cruel. The superiors asked us to notify every household. If there is nothing important, it is best not to leave the residence."

Fang Yi wasn't afraid of any murderer, so he didn't take it seriously. "Okay, got it, thank you."

After saying that, he closed the door.

Perhaps it was because his cultivation had greatly improved that his ears became very sensitive.

At the moment the door closed, he heard two people whispering.

"How could this happen?"

"Who knows? I don't know what that thing is. I heard that even bullets can't penetrate it. The key is that it runs very fast. It disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Um?

What is something that bullets can't penetrate?

Fang Yi, who was standing behind the door, was stunned for a moment. He felt that the two policemen who had just informed him not to go out were not because of the murderer.

Just then, the doorbell rang again.

Xu Xiaoli's startled voice could be heard from outside the door, "Oh my god, this is so scary!"

Fang Yi was right next to the door. He opened it and asked, "What's so scary?"

Xu Xiaoli held her cell phone in her hand and pointed at it, saying, "Master, please take a look at this news."

news?

What big thing happened?

Fang Yi moved closer with curiosity and found that a short video was playing on Xu Xiaoli's mobile phone.

There is a line of text above the video: A terrifying monster appears in the flash of jade.

In the video, there is a burly figure dressed in black and green, jumping quickly on the roofs of cars at an intersection. Every time he jumps, the roof of a car is trampled and dented.

Then, the burly figure jumped into a building.

At this point, the video playback ends.

There are many messages in the comment section.

"Oh my god! What is that?"

“Isn’t this video a composite?”

"I just downloaded the video and slowed it down ten times, and I found that it looked like a robot."

"What kind of robot is so powerful?"

"I think it's a zombie..."

There are all kinds of opinions, but they're basically all guesses.

Xu Xiaoli said nervously: "Master, is it a zombie?"

Fang Yi couldn't help but frown. From the figure in the video, he found that the burly black-green figure just now was indeed very similar to the "corpse" seen in the stone tomb.

It’s just that the video was blurry, so he couldn’t be completely sure.

Fang Yi shook his head, "I don't know, but I have to go over and take a look."

Xu Xiaoli immediately said: "I'll drive you there."

"No, this thing is a bit dangerous... Never mind, let's go together, you'll be safer with me."

Fang Yi was really afraid that the thing would rush into the hotel after he left, and Xu Xiaoli would be in real danger then.

After all, we just saw in the video that this thing broke through the wall of the building with one rush. If it rushed into the crowd, who could stop it?

Could it really be the "corpse" seen in the stone tomb?

But why did it come all the way from Huaiyu Mountain to the downtown area?

Could it be that it came "alive" because of my spiritual sense scan?

Thinking of this, Fang Yi was shocked and realized that the strange thing coming to the downtown area might be related to him. If he didn't deal with it as soon as possible, it would most likely cause huge damage and casualties, and he would be guilty of a serious crime.

No, I have to find it quickly and find a way to get rid of it quietly.

Fang Yi didn't bother to delay and hurried outside.
