Shu Guan hasn't seen Han Biao for a long time.
In fact, Shuguan had never seen Han Biao since he left Peach Blossom Spring and walked out of the Shennongjia Mountains.
The situation at that time was that Li Zhixia returned to Shanjiguan first with Han Biao's body, while Mu Yao and Taoist Chen who came later accompanied the villagers of Taoyuan Village all the way to Jingcheng.
Mu Yao explained to Shu Guan that Han Biao was not completely dead. There was still a ray of yang energy left in his body, and he had locked Han Biao's soul with the Seven Spirit Grass, but Han Biao must be killed as soon as possible. Send it back to the Good Self-Contemporary, because there is a place in the Good Self-Contemporary that can help Han Biao's body not decay.
In the past few months of Shan Ji Guan, Shu Guan also asked Mu Yao several times about Han Biao's current situation.
What Mu Yao told him was that Han Biao was in the Shan Si Guan, but that place was not convenient to enter. In addition, there was actually a secret method in the Shan Si Guan that could make Han Biao come back to life to some extent, but in the end The master has not yet decided whether to resurrect Han Biao or not.
Shu Guan was very confused at the time. Since Han Biao could be resurrected, why not resurrect him?
But Mu Yao seems to be a bit cryptic and doesn't have much explanation.
At this moment, Shu Guan finally saw Han Biao again after months of absence.
Han Biao lay quietly on the stone bed. His body was as motionless as a stiff stone. There was no heartbeat or breathing. It was hard to tell that he was still alive at this time. He looked more like a frozen corpse.
In this room, besides Han Biao and the stone bed on which he was lying, there was something else.
That's a needle.
A five-inch long, silver-white, ice-crystal-like needle.
This needle is suspended in the air, flying slowly up, down, left, right, and right, just like taking a leisurely walk in this room.
And where this silver-white long needle flew, there was always a wisp of white air at its tail, exuding a dense cold air, which was the mist condensed under the extreme cold.
Perhaps the reason for the coldness in this room comes from this long silver-white needle.
Li Zhixia walked to the stone bed and stared at Han Biao on the bed.
"Old Qi, you have already seen that corpse puppet."
Then Li Zhixia said this.
Shu Guan was slightly startled and didn't understand why the master suddenly mentioned the corpse puppet again, but he nodded immediately.
"The corpse puppets that retain their spiritual intelligence during life are not only due to the special method of refining corpses of the Maiden Sect, but there is also a more important reason, that is, the ones they chose to refine at the beginning are all half yin and half yang. people."
Install the latest version. 】
"What kind of half-yin and half-yang person?"
Shu Guan asked puzzledly.
Li Zhixia pointed to Han Biao on the stone bed and said:
"This is a person who is half yin and half yang. One foot is in the underworld, and the other is still in the human world, straddling the two realms of yin and yang. Only such a person can be refined to retain the consciousness of the corpse puppet."
Shu Guan's heart suddenly moved, and he realized something, and then his breathing became a little rapid.
"But... we don't have that kind of corpse-refining method..."
He hesitated and said.
"No, we do."
Li Zhixia had a strange look on her face and said:
"We have five great earthly immortal arts in Shanxi Temple. One of them is the Corpse Refining Technique of the Maiden Sect. This was brought back by Lu Zu from the Maiden Sect."
Shu Guan was stunned for a moment.
He remembered the rumor about Lu Zu that Li Zhixia had told when he came back. Maybe the "rumor" was just the words of the Taoist people themselves.
He slept with a saint and brought back her secret technique to control the sect. This Lu Zu of our Taoist sect is really tough!
Shu Guan didn't know how to express himself for a while.
Then he finally understood that the second senior brother once said that there was a secret technique in the temple that could resurrect Han Biao to a certain extent.
It turns out that the secret technique is the corpse refining technique of the Maiden Sect, and the so-called resurrection is to refine Han Biao into a corpse puppet.
Shu Guan felt a strange feeling in his heart, remembering the appearance of the corpse puppet he had seen.
No wonder the master has been hesitant. This matter is indeed a bit strange, especially for a square person like the master. It is really difficult for him to refine the corpse.
Li Zhixia looked at Mu Yao and Shu Guan and said in a deep voice:
"Master was hesitant at first, not only because the matter of refining corpses is really unbearable to me, but also because I have never practiced corpse refining before. Although I have that secret technique, I don't have any How sure are you of success?"
"There is still a ray of yang energy in this person's body, but if it fails, then this person will die completely and there will be no chance of resurrection."
"But today I finally feel confident as a teacher."
Li Zhixia slowly opened her palm, and saw a round bead the size of a dove egg, emitting a faint red light, on his palm.
"It's the puppet bead!"
Shu Guan exclaimed.
"good."
Li Zhixia nodded and said:
"It is the puppet bead that fell out of the corpse puppet. With this puppet bead, I am more than 80% sure that I can refine this person into a real corpse puppet!"
Speaking of this, Li Zhixia paused slightly.
The room suddenly became a little quiet.
"It's just that after you refine him into a corpse puppet, his body will no longer be reversible. From now on, this person will live in a half-human, half-corpse state forever, always between the yin and yang realms. So, should we refine him into a corpse puppet? I need to ask you two about your intentions as a teacher."
"Because this person is related to you both by fate, so this matter is decided by the two of you."
Shu Guan and Mu Yao looked at each other.
"Junior brother, what do you think?"
Mu Yao asked softly.
Shu Guan thought for a while, then asked Li Zhixia another question:
"Master, apart from turning Uncle Han into a corpse puppet, is there really no way to save him?"
"At least there is nothing I can do, and this person has been dead for more than four months. If he can't be saved, his yang energy will eventually dissipate, and the Seven Spirit Grass will not be able to lock her soul for much longer."
"After turning Uncle Han into a corpse puppet, can he really retain the memories of his life?"
Shu Guan asked again.
"I don't know, my master, but that's what is recorded in the volume of corpse refining secrets. It's just that after becoming a corpse puppet, your original personality may change."
After asking, Shu Guan nodded and said to Mu Yao:
"Second Senior Brother, I have no problem. I hope Uncle Han can survive."
It's good to be alive after all, so what if I become a zombie.
Since he can retain most of his memory and intelligence, if you think about it carefully, maybe Uncle Han just changed to another life form.
"Master, then resurrect him!"
So Mu Yao said firmly to Li Zhixia.
"One more thing."
Li Zhixia looked at her two disciples and said:
"That is, after becoming a corpse puppet, although it is different from ordinary zombies, it is still a kind of Yin creature. He straddles the Yin and Yang worlds, but his body is dead after all. The part that belongs to the Yin world is more, and over time , it is still possible to become a real zombie."
"So it is also mentioned in that secret method that in order for the corpse chief to maintain his own intelligence, a corpse guardian is needed."
"The so-called corpse guardian is to connect himself with the corpse puppet's soul during the process of refining it. This is the corpse puppet's anchor in the world. Only in this way can he not lose his mind one day and become a real corpse. of zombies.”
"The girl is actually the keeper of the corpse she owns."
"However, although the corpse puppet and the corpse guardian can connect their minds after their souls are connected, their lives will also be intertwined after that."
"If the corpse guardian dies, the corpse puppet will undoubtedly die. If the corpse puppet dies, the corpse guardian will also be counterattacked. As for the degree of the backlash, it depends on the degree of the union of the two souls."
"In addition, the corpse puppet is a creature with independent intelligence after all. What he does in daily life is not completely controlled by the corpse guardian. Therefore, if what he does or what he thinks is inconsistent with the Taoist heart of the corpse guardian, it will make him The risk of the corpse guardian going crazy has greatly increased."
"For the corpse guardian, the corpse puppet can be a lifelong partner, and it can also be the biggest burden on your path to immortality."
Li Zhixia's eyes slowly swept across the faces of Mu Yao and Shu Guan, and asked solemnly:
"So, who among you two is willing to be his bodyguard?"
"I!"
"I!"
Mu Yao and Shu Guan answered almost in no particular order.
Then Li Zhixia looked at Mu Yao and Shu Guan again, pondered for a while and then said:
"Old Seven, then you will be Han Biao's bodyguard!"
"Master, why?"
Mu Yao asked immediately.
Not because of any dissatisfaction or complaint, just a little confused.
Li Zhixia looked at her second disciple and said in a deep voice:
"First of all, it's because the corpse puppet is a person who straddles Yin and Yang, and your seventh junior brother cultivates the Yin and Yang avenue, and the two are naturally compatible."
"The other reason is that you, second brother, are too pure and straightforward. If the corpse puppet's behavior goes against your Taoism in the future, I'm afraid you will go crazy at any time."
"As for Lao Qi, well, from what I've seen in the past few months, he is...a smart and changeable person who can withstand the actions of the corpse puppet better than you, so let Lao Qi be the corpse guardian!"
"I will obey my master's orders."
Shu Guan responded quickly, and then smiled at Mu Yao.
Of course, he still couldn't help but wonder whether what Li Zhixia said just now was a compliment to him.
Then Li Zhixia turned around and put the puppet bead into Hang Biao's mouth.
"This puppet bead can not only help my master to greatly improve the success of refining a corpse puppet, but it also contains most of the original corpse master's cultivation. So once Han Biao becomes a corpse puppet, although he was originally a corpse puppet, Ordinary people, but once resurrected, can directly possess the strength of the First Awareness Realm."
"Lao Qi, from now on, on the first and fifteenth day of every month, you will come here with my master to refine the corpse together with my master. Only in this way can your two minds be harmonious."
"Okay master, but how long will it take for Uncle Han to wake up?"
"Refining a corpse puppet is not that simple. It will take at least a year!"
"Okay, let's get out of here first."
…
Shu Guan was the last one to leave the room. Before going out, he looked back at Han Biao on the stone bed and smiled.
...Uncle Han, I look forward to meeting you again...
Then, he stepped out of the house.
At this moment, Xiaoyi's voice sounded in his mind.
"Uncle, goodbye, I'll come and chat with you next time."
Shu Guan was suddenly startled and asked in his mind.
"Xiao Yi, who are you talking to? How can you talk to Uncle Han?"
"No, I'm talking to Uncle Needle. He's so interesting."
Xiaoyi replied sweetly.
