War is the most likely to breed evil spirits.
All countries are very aware of this, so every time there is a war, wizards, monks, and even Confucian scholars will accompany the army. In addition to assisting in the battle, they also perform rituals and write rituals to transcend the souls of the dead on the battlefield and eliminate the evil spirits of the victims. To reduce the breeding of evil spirits.
Daxia and Qingtang are naturally no exception.
For Daxia, Qingtang Guard is its own territory, and it is natural to prevent evil spirits from being born and harming the military and civilians here, as well as the people in the interior.
For Qingtang, he is also unwilling to see evil spirits appear.
Because evil spirits will first pose a threat to their food routes, and secondly, they may go to Qingtang to cause harm.
After all, Xie Sui doesn't care whether you are from Xia Kingdom or Qingtang, they all treat you equally.
To take a step back, even if the Qingtang side does not care about the life and death of the people in the country and relies on looting to replenish food and grass, they are not afraid of the evil spirits threatening the food road, nor are they afraid of the evil spirits stalking behind their butts, and do not save the souls of the dead who died in the battle, but in the country On Xia's side, he has been doing things.
When Qin Shaoyou and the others first arrived at Qingtang Acropolis, they saw that the monks in the city had been organized by the prefecture's Yamen to conduct large-scale water and land rituals.
Even when Qin Shaoyou and the others left Qingtang Acropolis, the rituals were still going on without ending.
Ordinarily, under such circumstances, even if evil spirits breed on the battlefield, it would only be accidental and should not be as common as now.
Although most of the corpses controlled by the corpse demon were ordinary corpses, the walking corpses that just shouted "No way" and "Fight" were not ordinary.
They can speak human words. They are evil spirits that have transformed from corpses into demons. They are no longer ordinary corpses.
Similarly, those hungry wolves and wild dogs controlled by Wild Gouzi have more or less evil spirits lingering around them. It means that they are no longer ordinary dogs and wolves, but have begun to become monsters!
As for the ghost soldiers under the Great Ghost Lord, let alone mention them.
These souls, which were supposed to be saved by water and land rituals, numbered in the thousands. Not only were they not saved, but they remained in the human world and turned into evil ghosts seeking life.
If these evil things were just a few, it would be fine, but when the water and land rituals continued, so many were born. It was really abnormal!
If it weren't for a group of barbarian soldiers surrounding him, Zhu Xiucai would have wanted to complain about the monks and Taoists in Qingtang Acropolis who performed rituals every day and made a lot of incense and money, but in the end, not many souls were saved.
Was the ritual they performed meant to save the souls of the dead, or was it urging the souls to quickly turn into ghosts?
They can't even do the rituals of salvation. What a bunch of useless things!
Qin Qiaoer was also surprised that the water and land rituals in Qingtang Acropolis did not work, but the direction of her suspicion was not on the group of monks.
"There is something really wrong with so many evil spirits breeding. Could it be caused by humans?"
"Man-made?"
Qin Shaoyou's eyes sternly glanced at Cui Youying beside him, and at the same time he called on the barbarian soldiers to break out with them.
There is a melee between evil spirits from three parties. It is too conspicuous and dangerous for a group of living people to stay here. It is better to stand out first and wait until these evil spirits fight to the point where all three are injured, and then go in to harvest.
The barbarian soldiers didn't get what they wanted, so they immediately followed Qin Shaoyou to break out of the encirclement.
Although they were used to seeing fights, they had never seen so many walking corpses, evil spirits, wolves, and dog monsters. It was impossible not to be frightened.
After Cui Youyou saw Qin Shaoyou's eyes, he understood and secretly released a sound isolation technique to block the surrounding barbarians so that they could not hear what they said.
With the improvement of his cultivation, Brother Cui has become more skillful in the use of sound isolation, and can accurately control the isolated range or individuals.
After Qin Shaoyou confirmed that Cui Yougui had released the sound isolation technique, he continued what he had just said and asked Qin Qiaoer: "You mean, someone is using the battlefield, fighting and death to cultivate evil spirits?"
Qin Qiaoer nodded slightly: "It is impossible for so many evil spirits to breed after performing water and land rituals, unless there are human means to disrupt the effect of the water and land rituals and maximize the resentment of the dead souls. "
"Commander Qin is right."
Cui Youyou interrupted at this time and expressed his opinion.
"Moreover, it is very abnormal for these three evil spirits to appear in the same place. The wild dog and the zombie are just dead. The former is addicted to eating corpses. After smelling the smell of the corpse, he and the scholar saw the Sand Dance Hall. It's normal for Gunshanjun to hunt for food after discovering young bamboo shoots. However, the big ghost master came with his ghost soldiers to join in the fun, and fought with wild dogs and zombies, which was a bit unreasonable. This chance is even lower than a scholar’s kidney failure! It’s more like someone is deliberately driving and inducing them to do this..."
When Zhu Xiucai heard Cui Yougui's words, he felt as if he had been stepped on. He said angrily: "Old Taoist, what do you mean by this? What do you mean it is lower than the chance of my kidneys not losing? When will my kidneys be restored?" Did you lose? You are making false accusations! You are throwing dirty water on me!"
It's a pity that at this time, no one paid attention to his anger and grievance. Everyone was chewing on Cui Youguil's words.
Zhu Xiucai could only vent his grievances on the evil spirits he encountered on the way out of the siege. With a wave of his hand, countless flying knives flew out under the control of blood energy, poking at the bodies of walking corpses, wolves, monsters, and dog monsters. Come and poke.
"Artificially driving three kinds of evil spirits to fight each other? Why does this method sound a bit like raising the King of Gu?"
Qiu Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, waved his sleeves, and a large number of Gu insects flew out, frightening the few barbarian soldiers around him and hurried away, for fear of being affected.
There was also someone playing with poisonous insects and poisonous insects over there in Qingtang, so the barbarian soldiers were not suspicious. They just felt that this person was too scary and it was better to stay away.
After listening to Qiu Shi's words, Qin Shaoyou and others thought about it and felt that it was really possible.
Corpse Charm, Wild Dog Zi and Big Ghost Lord, three parties are fighting, and the winning party will devour the other two parties, greatly increasing their strength! By then, the harm will definitely be greater than the three parties combined now!
Monk Ma couldn't help but said: "Who is interfering with the water and land rituals and cultivating evil spirits? Someone from Qingtang?"
Zhu Xiucai, who was controlling the flying knife, felt a little better after poking over a few dog monsters he named 'Cui Yougui'. At this moment, he also gave his own judgment: "It is unlikely to be Qing." The people on the Tang side are retreating in a hurry, how can they care about doing these things."
"uncertain."
Qin Qiaoer shook his head.
"Perhaps the Qingtang side wants to use this method to make the Qingtang Guards corrupt, thereby blocking the pace of my Daxia pursuit?"
Zhu Xiucai thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's not impossible."
Qin Shaoyou felt that this matter did not seem to be done by people from Qingtang.
Because corpse demons, wild dogs, and great ghost masters cannot be cultivated in a day or two.
Unless the Qingtang side starts refining and cultivating these evil spirits when they raise their troops.
However, before the big defeat the day before yesterday, Qingtang was full of confidence. At least the seventh prince, Rikander, would not have thought that he would face a big defeat, and it would be impossible for him to cultivate evil spirits early in the morning to help him cut off his descendants.
Moreover, Qingtang may have learned the Black Lotus Sect's method of killing people, practicing on the battlefield using human blood and lives.
Under such circumstances, how could Rikander and the others allow evil spirits to breed on the battlefield? Isn't that competing with them for business? Moreover, it can easily affect their practice, and it may cause them to become obsessed and go crazy.
etc……
Black Lotus?
Qin Shaoyou suddenly raised his eyebrows, and he had a guess in his mind: Could it be that these evil spirits were caused by the Black Lotus Sect again?
