Chapter 302 Modern Mountain God 46

Wen Yuan used his mind reading skills to comfort him in time, allowing him to remain rational. Now the two of them tacitly stopped.

Suddenly, more than 30 soldiers rushed in from outside. Seeing the mountains of corpses and blood on the ground, they prepared to start treating the wounded. The remaining few men in black broke through the siege and began to rescue the priest, preparing to escape.

As everyone was methodically treating the wounded, Xia Yu, still unconscious, stumbled to the statue, holding her newborn child. The black-clad men who had been protecting her had been forced to join the battle, and the two remaining medical staff had been placed under guard.

Before the knife wound on Qiuqiu's body was treated, the statue in the center lit up.

The newborn baby was held by Xia Yu on the statue's crossed legs, and the warm yellow power of faith slowly seeped into the baby's body.

Qiuqiu immediately threw out the only two remaining Five Thunder Talismans. Unexpectedly, the lightning emitted a little purple light outside the halo and then disappeared.

The two shots at the baby had no effect at all. Just when everyone was anxious, they saw the blood around the altar slowly seeping into the carved patterns, and the baby grew visibly bigger. After the blood disappeared, Xia Yu, who had fainted beside the statue, slowly became shriveled, and finally only a dried corpse was left.

In less than an hour, the baby grew from a newborn to a boy of seven or eight years old, but his body was bruised, with blood vessels bulging on his face and neck, and his face was full of ferocious horror. Looking closely, he looked 80% like the statue above.

The statue's brilliance slowly faded, and it no longer had that majestic feeling. The power of faith stored in it had all been absorbed by this reincarnated colonel.

Wen Yuan asked beside Qiuqiu, "What happened? Wasn't the altar destroyed?"

Qiuqiu explained, "The altar wasn't destroyed, only the important node that transported the energy was broken. He originally filtered the power of faith and various blood energies through sacrifice and used them for himself, growing into a human and gaining cultivation at the same time. There was still a possibility. Now he should have failed. Look at him, he is neither human nor ghost. We must get rid of him. He is now a bloodthirsty monster."

Master Yuantong chanted the Buddha's name: "Are you unconscious?"

Qiuqiu: "Now he is still suppressed by the power of faith, and he may still be conscious. Later... his blood will wear away the power of faith, and he will completely lose his sanity."

Wen Yuan ordered the ghost who raised the ghost gourd: "Tell the Ghost King about the situation here. I hope we can cooperate. The conditions remain unchanged."

The conditions can only be negotiated by standing on the winning side. The scholar ghost king, who witnessed the failed reincarnation with his own eyes, agreed to cooperate this time. The requirements for cooperation, in addition to helping him reincarnate and protecting him as he grows up, also require him to copy a condition given by the colonel, a secret book for practicing Taoism called "The Secret of Immortality".

This was an important condition for the Ghost King to cooperate with them.

Qiuqiu: "What if I don't find the secret of immortality?"

Ghost King: "Impossible, I have already obtained the first part of the cultivation method."

Qiuqiu was genuinely curious about what kind of magical technique was so powerful. He glanced at Wen Yuan and gestured for him to read his mind to see what it was about.

Wen Yuan asked directly: "Tell me the first few sentences and I will examine them."

Qiuqiu: ... So direct?!

It was easy to believe that Wen Yuan was actually a mountain god, so the Ghost King actually recited it silently.

Qiuqiu: After hearing the latter part, I realized that this is a common Qi training method in the world of cultivation, and it is not as advanced as the Xu family's method.

But the awake monks around came closer to listen carefully, and Qiuqiu looked at the Taoist nun beside him.

Taoist nun: "This technique is quite good. If it were complete, it would be even more valuable."

Qiuqiu pondered for a moment and said, "Even if this technique is complete, it's best to practice it to the third level. Once you reach the fifth level, you need to change the technique, otherwise your practice will be extremely slow."

Master Yuantong: "Donor, what you said is very true. According to the records, many of our ancestors cultivated to the third level, but those who reached the fifth level were rare, and only one person reached the seventh level. This was because he swallowed special medicinal herbs."

Ji Changze, who was holding Nian Nian, also gave the answer: "It is recorded in the books of my sect and the Zhang family classics that after practicing, the lifespan can reach over 150 years old, but now these are just legends." As he said this, he looked at the colonel in the center.

Qiuqiu: "We will try our best to meet the conditions. Now we can only discuss other things after we catch him."

The colonel's protective barrier now disappeared. Someone fired a shot, but the colonel dodged nimbly. The bullet left a deep hole in the statue.

It seems that the power of faith stored in this statue has completely disappeared.

Since the Ghost King withdrew, there were only a dozen ghosts protecting the colonel. The only ones who were still able to fight were the new soldiers. They began to attack the colonel collectively, and the Ghost King also sent several old ghosts around him to fight with the ghosts on the colonel's side.

Qiuqiu: At first, these ghosts would bite and tear at anyone they saw. She thought that was the only effective way for ghosts to attack cultivators. Now that she sees ghosts fighting each other in this same way, biting and pulling, she realizes that the Dao is declining, and ghost cultivation is even more declining. The most powerful ghost king has always been releasing pressure to intimidate other people or ghosts who want to attack him. It is estimated that he does not know any magic.

This also explains why the talismans drawn by Qiuqiu are at most entry-level first-grade talismans, which are considered rare and scarce goods here.

The monks here simply used their cultivated mana to attack and harm these ghosts through the magic tools in their hands. They really had no way to deal with the physical and erratic colonel. It was not as effective as the soldier's gun.

The colonel used his magic power to float around. At first, he just dodged unconsciously, and later he hid in crowded places. After accidentally injuring a few people, he put away his gun and started close combat. No matter how powerful the combat skills were, they could not deal with something that could not be caught at all, so the casualties on his side became more and more.

Qiuqiu said to Wen Yuan: "You hold him down for a minute, and I'll deal with him."

Wen Yuan saw Qiuqiu covered in wounds, then looked at the heavy casualties on the entire altar, and finally nodded.

Wen Yuan used the Origin Pearl to consume the Origin Power and imprisoned the colonel. Qiuqiu swung the peach wood stick and started beating him, not sparing any joints or weak points.

Taoist nun: "You are seriously injured, why are you still..."

She must know that Qiuqiu is seriously injured. In the world of cultivation, such an injury can be healed by a rejuvenation pill. Here, she has been unable to get out of bed for months. But she can't just watch everyone die. Anyway, Wen Na's soul has been partially integrated. Now it may take more than ten times longer to completely integrate after death. The cause and effect have not been resolved, and she will have to wait until the next life.
