Chapter 418: Fire Corpse
Chapter 418: Fire Corpse
The Machinery City is worthy of being the location of the Mysterious Gate. Walking on the road, you can see many objects made by the magic of machinery.
From small things like children's toys, such as mechanical bamboo dragonflies and mechanical frogs, to large things like water conservancy facilities, the drainage of the entire city, and the defenses on the city walls are mostly made of mechanisms. It can be said that there is everything.
The old carpenter on the street can make a small puppet by taking a few pieces of wood and iron and fiddling with them.
I don't know how to operate the puppet so that it can move realistically.
The snotty-nosed children also imitated the adults and used axes and knives to carve wood and make some small toys.
After a few days, Chu Qing and the others had a lot of fun.
We also bought some small gadgets, and Wenrou especially liked a chair.
This thing is made based on the mortise and tenon structure, which is unique and ingenious. It is not big when held in the hand, and it does not stick out when placed in a bag.
After taking it out, you can turn it into a small chair by simply fiddling with it.
Wenrou has a petite figure and sits up just right, as if she were tailor-made for her.
According to her own words, she was the one who watched from the sidelines whenever there was a fight... In that case, she might as well sit back and feel comfortable.
Chu Qing and Wu Qianhuan were naturally unable to refute.
Wu Qianhuan loves a mechanical bird... This little thing is only the size of a palm, and its internal structure is quite complicated. The key point is the wings. I don't know how much effort has been put into it, so that when it flies out, it can circle in the air and then return to the owner's hand.
Chu Qing thought that this thing was probably the same concept as a boomerang.
But it is really not easy to achieve.
The fact that these guys were able to make something like this shows that their attainments in mechanical engineering are truly extraordinary.
This place is interesting, and there are endless new things to see, which makes Chu Qing and others reluctant to leave.
It was at this time that Zuo Zhongtang returned with the people from Xuanjimen.
But Zuo Huaifeng was not among those traveling together.
He was taken back to Tianyin Mansion by Liu Zhaonian and imprisoned. After all, Xianyun Manor was not their place. After their troops withdrew, who would look after Zuo Huaifeng?
Of course, he had to bring it back to Tianyin Mansion.
Jiang Qianliu was also taken away.
After the meeting at Xianyun Mountain, Chu Qing first went to the headquarters of the southern region of Niejingtai, and then brought Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou to the Machinery City, where they stayed for several days. The one-month deadline was approaching.
After he finished the matter with the Mechanical City, he hurried to Tianyin Mansion to check the specific situation.
The answer to whether this Four Directions Jar of Heaven and Earth can be used will soon be known.
When Zuo Zhongtang saw Chu Qing, his expression changed drastically.
He has complicated feelings towards Trina...
Because Chu Qing saved Cheng Xiao's life, he was grateful to Chu Qing.
As a result, Chu Qing took down Zuo Huaifeng in public again.
After all, this is his biological father.
Even if he is in love, he doesn't give up everything just because he is in love...especially when Zuo Huaifeng always thinks of him.
But this matter was so big that he really had no way to deal with it.
As for Chu Qing, the instigator, nothing could be done.
Therefore, up to now, although he has achieved his wish and made Cheng Xiao accept him.
But he was also depressed and unhappy.
Chu Qing didn't care about Zuo Zhongtang's reaction and took out the box directly:
"Can you possibly unlock this?"
He got straight to the point without being verbose at all.
Zuo Zhongtang calmed down, took the box and looked at it for a while, then said silently:
"This is something from my Xuanji Sect, called the 'Heaven and Earth Treasure Box', which contains the principles of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches... The leader was right not to force it open.
“This item is precious, but the most precious thing is the kerosene hidden in the crack. If you force it open, the kerosene will ignite and burn everything inside.
“But I can drive this thing.”
"Help me open this thing then."
"Yes."
Zuo Zhongtang nodded obediently. He never thought that he could use this opportunity to make conditions with Chu Qing.
After all, most of what you want is impossible to achieve.
For example, asking Chu Qing to release Zuo Huaifeng or something like that... As for helping Cheng Xiao to unlock the life and death talisman, he didn't even mention it.
He just quietly put the box on the table, sat on the chair and started fiddling with it.
He would sometimes bang on things, and sometimes reach under the box to feel for something.
Chu Qing looked at it carefully, wanting to learn from him, when suddenly he heard a clicking sound coming from the box. The next moment, with a click, the box opened.
"..."
Chu Qing was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but say:
"Why is it like this is just a joke?"
Zuo Zhongtang thought for a moment and said:
"Just like the leader killing people."
Chu Qing nodded, ignored him, and looked at the box.
The first thing that caught my eye was a booklet with three words written on it: [Fire Corpse Chapter].
Under the book, there were several pieces of paper and a letter.
Chu Qing took out all the things and waved to Zuo Zhongtang:
"Let Cheng Xiao come to see me."
Zuo Zhongtang's expression froze for a moment, but he still nodded:
"Yes."
After saying that, he turned and walked away.
Chu Qing opened the [Fire Corpse Chapter].
He already knew two martial arts with similar names.
One is [Cold Corpse Record], the other is [Wood Corpse Secret], and now it is [Fire Corpse Chapter].
Although at the beginning, he thought that these martial arts should come from the same source, and the method of practicing them must be very complicated.
But when he actually saw the contents recorded in the secret book, he still couldn't help but frown.
It is recorded in the secret book that if one wants to practice the [Fire Corpse Chapter] one must 'hold a raging fire in one's body, and burn the five internal organs'. This is difficult to understand, as one might think that one must burn oneself, and all the internal organs must be burnt to ashes, in order to practice successfully.
But in reality, if it really comes to that, people are dead, what’s the point of repairing it?
The most crucial content here is 'fire poison'!
People who practice this martial art need to first swallow a pill called "Fire Poison Pill". This pill will erase perception and put the body into an extremely special state.
In this state, a fire is ignited in front of you.
First, turn your palms over the fire little by little, and use your qi to absorb the power of the fire.
This sounds easy, but it is actually not.
The Fire Poison Pill erases the human body's perception, which includes the most important one, which is pain.
So, when the flame burns the skin, there is a limit.
It can’t be too deep, otherwise it will be cooked.
By the time the effect of the medicine wore off, my arm was useless.
But you can't go too far away, otherwise you won't be able to absorb the fire power, and everything will be in vain, and the Fire Poison Pill will also be wasted.
It needs to be neither too high nor too low, just right, so that it can absorb the fire power without being hurt by the flames.
It then merged with the Fire Poison Pill in the body and finally became a ray of pure Yang fire energy, which was absorbed into the heart.
This is what it means to hold the blazing fire in your body!
But the real pain began from this moment.
This kind of strength is not obtained normally, therefore it is unruly and can secretly affect the five internal organs. If one is not careful, the five internal organs will be burned to ashes by this force.
So next, I need to take Fire Poison Pills continuously to introduce the fire energy into my body, and at the same time, I need to keep an eye on it. I can't let this fire go out and cause trouble.
If you are not careful, your whole body will turn into a ball of black ash.
And the heart feels like it is on fire all the time, and there is nothing more severe than this.
But this is not the end yet. The fire must be used to spread to the surrounding internal organs.
Everyone knows that the five elements in the human body correspond to the five internal organs.
However, those who practice the [Fire Corpse Chapter] need to replace the five internal organs so that all of them are of the fire element.
This is what it means for the five internal organs to be burned.
Chu Qing grimaced as he watched. This method was extremely cruel. If one wanted to twist the five internal organs, one had to use fire power to slowly penetrate them. The pain of this process was unimaginable.
But these are just the basic skills of the [Fire Corpse Chapter].
Later, there were skills such as [Twelve Forgings of Burning the Corpse with Fire], all of which were extremely cruel.
But the effect is also very powerful.
It is said that real gold is not afraid of fire. [Twelve Tempers of Fire Burning the Corpse] is to use fierce fire to burn gold and constantly beat one's own body.
I think the reason why Hong Gui was able to survive Huangfu Yixiao's sword was because of this skill.
Chu Qing flipped through the entire book, but when he reached the end he discovered that this skill was not over yet.
The second half is blank!
"Didn't he give all of it? Or was this martial art only half created?"
Thinking of this, he looked at the other pieces of paper.
There are a lot of names written on it.
And behind every name, there is the word "death".
At first he thought it was a record of murders committed by Nie Jingtai, but when he opened the letters, he found that it was not the case.
There is no indication of who wrote the letter, and the signature is unknown.
The content is to let the Red Ghost choose the right person to practice with through the method provided in his letter.
And provide feedback on the results of cultivation.
The content of another letter is similar to this one.
I just want the Red Ghost to be mindful of casualties when selecting people to test their skills, and to save them if possible, and not to see a row of "death" characters at a glance.
Chu Qing then realized that the "death" written on the two pieces of paper did not mean being assassinated by Nie Jingtai.
Instead, someone was using them to test their skills, and they died because they went too far in practicing their skills!
Chu Qing's expression suddenly became a little ugly.
Needless to say, the person who did this was Emperor Wu Li Juechen.
He single-handedly created the [Cold Corpse Record], [Wood Corpse Secret], and [Fire Corpse Chapter].
If it is divided according to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, there should be two more gates of gold and earth.
But it is not known whether [Cold Corpse Record] is really of the water element...so it is still uncertain whether it has the two gates of gold and earth.
"What exactly does this person want to do?"
When Chu Qing was frowning, Cheng Xiao came.
The girl who was planning to salute was a little afraid to speak when she saw Chu Qing's unhappy face.
But Chu Qing came back to his senses and looked at her:
"Come."
Cheng Xiao didn't dare to disobey, but had questions:
"The leader wants to..."
The steps were also a little unsteady.
Chu Qing ignored all this. Seeing that she was hesitating, he simply hooked his five fingers together. Cheng Xiao immediately exclaimed and flew directly towards Chu Qing.
Chu Qing stretched out his hand and hooked her wrist upwards, and she couldn't help but spin in the air.
Chu Qing's hands seemed to turn into afterimages, continuously tapping the acupuncture points all over Cheng Xiao's body. Cheng Xiao had no power to resist during the whole process. He felt that while his body was being slapped, it seemed that something was gathering.
Suddenly, Chu Qing swung his hand, and Cheng Xiao just fell from the air, and then he heard Chu Qing say:
"Raise your hands."
Cheng Xiao subconsciously raised his arms, and then felt a shock on his shoulders.
The next moment, hissing sounds came from the palms of her hands. Pieces of ice as thin as cicada wings flew out from her palms and hit the stone pillars on one side of the lobby, forming a layer of frost.
Until the last bit of the power of the Life and Death Talisman was forced out of Cheng Xiao's meridians, Chu Qing withdrew his hand.
Cheng Xiao staggered two steps before he stood firm, turned around and said to Chu Qing:
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord."
“No need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, then ask Zuo Zhongtang to be obedient and not have any delusional thoughts.
“Otherwise, what can be given, can also be taken back.”
Chu Qing spoke slowly without raising his head.
Cheng Xiao nodded:
"Yes, I understand."
Chu Qing waved her hand and let her go.
I returned to my room...
At this point, his purpose of coming to Xuanjimen was achieved.
He should have left here immediately, but he stayed for two more days. Now, almost a month has passed since Jiang Qianliu drank the cup of wine from the Heaven and Earth Four-sided Jar.
Chu Qing calculated the time accurately and flew away like a shooting star.
It took less than two days to reach Tianyin Mansion.
It has been a month so far, no more, no less.
He didn't alarm anyone and went straight to the dungeon to see what was happening to Jiang Qianliu.
But when he saw it, he found that Jiang Qianliu was fine.
He was sitting there just fine, cross-legged in meditation... Although he didn't have a Dantian Qi Sea to store internal energy, internal energy was stored in his limbs and bones.
Over the past month, he has been trying to gather all this internal energy together so that he can use it for his own benefit.
But these internal forces were rebellious and would not obey him no matter how he activated them.
It was not until today that he felt the change in his internal strength. He thought that this month's hard work might have taken effect, so he hurriedly sat down cross-legged and tried to gather his internal strength.
This time and the time when Chu Qing arrived were exactly the same.
Chu Qing observed it for a while, but didn't see anything mysterious.
I was wondering if the time was wrong, did I remember it wrong?
Or is there nothing strange about the Heaven and Earth Four-Directions Zun? Is this all just my own imagination?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, a gust of strong wind suddenly flowed through Jiang Qianliu's body, and the next moment he suddenly opened his eyes.
There was a void in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had lost all consciousness.
He stood up straight and walked towards Chu Qing. When he encountered the prison door blocking his way, he swung his palm and hit him.
The force was unexpectedly extraordinary.
The cell door was smashed in an instant, Jiang Qianliu stepped out of the cell, and looked at Chu Qing with empty eyes:
"bottle!
"Bring it!!"
Chu Qing was slightly stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he took out the Heaven and Earth Four-sided Bottle.
The moment Jiang Qianliu saw the Four Directions Jar of Heaven and Earth, his expression changed, and he jumped up and pounced directly towards the Four Directions Jar of Heaven and Earth.
