Compared with the Suppressing Evil Talisman, the Suppressing Corpse Talisman has a single target, which is only for corpses and zombies that have turned into zombies after the corpses have become rigid. However, its effect is much stronger than that of the Suppressing Evil Talisman.
The evil-suppressing talisman can only bind the target for five seconds. Even if it hits the forehead, it will only bind the target for ten seconds. However, once the corpse-suppressing talisman is attached to a corpse, it can make the target stop acting immediately without any time limit.
Moreover, the effect of the void drawing talisman is even more amazing. It can control the corpses/zombies with the talisman attached to them and control their battles.
Xu Feng knew that there was a branch of the Taoist profession that was good at transforming zombies, raising zombies, and controlling zombies to fight. The corpse-suppressing talisman that Xu Feng mastered was simply the nemesis of this type of profession. It was a pity that in order to truly restrain and seize control of the opponent's zombies, one had to master it proficiently and be able to draw talismans in the void.
Xu Feng's proficiency in the Suppressing Evil Talisman has reached 96%. It won't be long before he can upgrade to level one. The content of the Suppressing Corpse Talisman is 90% similar to that of the Suppressing Evil Talisman. As long as Xu Feng can master the Suppressing Evil Talisman, he only needs a little practice to master the Suppressing Corpse Talisman in the shortest time.
Xu Feng was very satisfied with the new talisman he had obtained. He began to explore the main hall carefully. As he explored, the progress of the main task also began to increase slowly. After a short while, it increased by three points.
"Hey, there are so many paper figures here?" Xu Feng found five or six paper figures piled together in a corner of the main hall.
The craftsmanship of tying these paper figures is even better than Xu Feng's, and the materials used are not ordinary bamboo strips and white paper.
The bamboo strips inside are from more than ten years old bamboo. They are split one by one, steamed and baked three times, and are extremely tough. This kind of production process can be used to make bamboo armor and bamboo swords, which are used on the battlefield and are no worse than weapons made of steel.
The outer paper is made of oilcloth paper half an inch thick, which will not be damaged even in a storm. The facial features are painted with oil paint on the paper. Although it has faded a little over time, you can still vaguely see the extraordinary craftsmanship of the painter, and the facial features of the paper man are vivid and lifelike.
Xu Feng was itch to try out this paper figurine-making skill, just like a chef who sees a delicious dish and can't help but want to explore its cooking method.
Xu Feng selected a paper figure that looked the most damaged, gently peeled off the skin on its surface, and carefully studied the binding technique of the bamboo strips inside the paper figure.
While studying, Xu Feng took out the only remaining paper-making materials in his backpack and began to practice tying the paper figures by following the instructions.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. In the charity cemetery on the deserted mountain, in the candlelight of lanterns, a figure was facing the wall in the corner of the main hall full of coffins, making rustling sounds and practicing the craft of making paper figures. The scene seemed eerie no matter how you looked at it.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Feng finally let out a long sigh of relief. There were scattered pieces of white paper and bamboo shavings at his feet. He clapped his hands and stood up.
The pair of originally white and tender palms were now covered with bloody cuts caused by bamboo sticks, but Xu Feng's paper-making skills had indeed improved a lot.
As reflected in the skill column, the level of paper-making in the life skill has been improved from the previous entry-level proficiency of 76% to the mastery proficiency of 12%, which is a full improvement of one level.
"What's left is the improvement of materials. There is no way to do it for now. I can only practice after leaving the secret realm." Xu Feng said to himself.
His share of white paper and bamboo strips had been used up in practice, but there were still five more well-made paper figures left in the hall. Xu Feng was not worried about not having paper figures to use when he needed Taoist soldiers.
Woo~ A strong mountain wind blew by, and the flames of the two white candles on the altar suddenly swayed violently, and the light in the main hall suddenly dimmed.
A low gasp suddenly echoed in the hall. After the mountain breeze passed, the candlelight returned to normal, the hall suddenly became bright, and the previous gasp disappeared, as if it was an auditory hallucination.
The main hall had been explored and Xu Feng was about to investigate other places in the charity cemetery. However, that heavy sigh made Xu Feng feel a little uneasy.
Xu Feng took out a stack of cut yellow paper, cinnabar ink, and a wolf-hair brush from his backpack, spread them flat on the bluestone floor, and began to draw the corpse-suppressing talisman he had just learned.
Because of the evil-suppressing talisman, Xu Feng only wasted two pieces of yellow paper and drew nine corpse-suppressing talismans.
Due to the limited space in the backpack, Xu Feng mostly packed finished paper talismans, and only prepared materials for twenty talismans, just to be prepared for such a situation.
Seeing that there were still nine materials left, Xu Feng simply converted all of the remaining nine materials into Soul Fire Talismans and replenished his ammunition.
There were nine corpse-suppressing talismans. A new talisman was affixed to each of the seven coffins below, while Xu Feng affixed two talismans to the dark red coffin at the feet of the statue.
Although he didn't know whether sticking the talisman across the coffin would work, after sticking it on, Xu Feng felt a lot safer.
The main hall has been explored. Xu Feng stepped out of the main hall gate and prepared to explore along the left side of the main hall.
At this moment, Xu Feng suddenly looked up at the moon and frowned. The moonlight was as bright as frost, illuminating the courtyard as if it were daytime.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
However, when he entered the secret realm, the moon was already high in the sky. Now five or six hours have passed, but the moon has not moved at all, as if it was fixed right above his head.
"Could it be that the environment in this secret realm is always moonlit?" Xu Feng guessed in his heart. If it were in the real world, seven or eight hours would have passed and it would have been dawn by now, but there was no sign of dawn in the secret realm.
"Such an environment is too unfriendly for explorers." Xu Feng couldn't help but sigh.
The night is home to ghosts and evil spirits. In the main hall, there are eight corpses that may turn into zombies at any time. If you rush in carelessly, you may alarm more terrifying existences. But in order to complete the main task, you have to rush into those unknown areas. Xu Feng was suddenly caught in a dilemma.
The silence all around made Xu Feng a little scared. The only sound he could hear was the "clacking" sound of his feet on the stone road. Even a gust of mountain breeze made Xu Feng feel scared.
"If I fail to complete the main exploration mission, I might stay in this secret place for the rest of my life. If I don't have food, I will starve to death sooner or later..."
Thinking of this, Xu Feng took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and carefully walked along the left side of the main hall towards the east courtyard.
