As soon as these two little black bugs started biting, the King of Shu and the others were all shocked.
It obviously looks like a fragile little insect like an earthworm, but it exudes a terrifying and monstrous aura.
This breath is neither the qi of human practitioners, nor the yin energy of ghosts and corpses, nor the evil energy of monsters... but a special breath that the King of Shu has never felt before.
It is full of terrifying deterrence, causing everyone present to feel an inexplicable throbbing and instinctive fear from the depths of their souls!
The King of Shu originally wanted to rush out and catch these two insects alive immediately, but now he gave up the idea. I just want to hide behind rocks and in corners and watch the battle first...
Unfortunately, the fight between these two bugs is getting more and more intense!
The speed is unbelievable.
At the beginning, you can still see two black lines colliding crazily in the air, and each collision makes a clanging sound like metal collision. Later, it was difficult for ordinary people's vision to catch up.
If they didn't focus on their powerful dynamic vision capabilities in their eyes, they wouldn't even be able to keep up with the speed of two black bugs! Only thin black lines filling the entire cave can be seen - the afterimages left by the insects fighting too fast.
Finally, one of the bugs seemed to lose ground and was killed directly.
The blood flowed to the ground, just onto a cluster of small mushrooms beside the stone...
Then under the shocked eyes of King Shu and others, the cluster of small mushrooms grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In just two or three breaths, it grew from perhaps only as high as the instep of a human foot to over two meters tall. And it continues to grow...
This astonishing sight made King Shu even more convinced of what his sworn brother Xie Xiu said!
And the winning insect seemed to be seriously injured.
The King of Shu then ordered the other practitioners who followed him to capture...
But after seeing the terrifying scene of two black bugs fighting just now, no one was willing to obey the King of Shu's order.
In desperation, they could only watch as the winning insect ate the body of the defeated death insect. Then he slowly climbed back into the layers of black plant leaves, seemingly entering the innermost "core" position.
Gone.
The King of Shu looked doubtfully at his sworn brother Xie Xiu.
The other party told him that the black bugs might be fighting each other and that they were consuming too much. Even if the other one wins, after devouring the body of the loser, it will still crawl back to sleep in the coil among the black plants...
After waiting for more than half an hour, they boldly walked over.
But at this moment, the black plant became blurry again and flickered a few times.
Also disappeared.
The King of Shu's hope of picking black plants was in vain this time.
Of course, it cannot be said that there is no gain at all...
At least, the cluster of mushrooms stained by the blood of dead black bugs was left!
At that time, the mushroom had grown to nearly three meters high and merged into one body, forming a cylinder. It looks a bit like a tree without branches or leaves.
If you use mushrooms to describe it, the shape may be a bit like the king oyster mushroom that is commonly eaten today...
In short, the King of Shu knew that this mushroom must be extraordinary.
It can be considered an unexpected gain!
He actually also knew that his life span was coming to an end. Although he looks quite healthy and his energy and mana have not weakened much, his time is actually numbered.
Maybe... there is no way to wait until you can achieve higher levels of cultivation and extend your life by swallowing this black plant.
Gotta think of something else!
This King of Shu is not only an innate Taoist boy, but also a disciple of a great sect, as well as a powerful royal relative. Obviously he is also a very decisive and courageous person.
After he reported to the emperor in the capital, he immediately mobilized his own forces and began to build the royal tomb on a large scale - the location of the construction was determined to be underground where black plants appeared and two black insects were fighting. In the cave.
For this reason, the King of Shu spent countless money and tens of thousands of civilians!
It took him more than two years to finally turn this place into a large-scale tomb of the King of Shu.
Then, he planted the mutant mushroom stained and watered by the blood of black bugs on his coffin.
Because after more than two years of observation and research, King Shu discovered that this mushroom that continued to grow had various magical abilities.
One of them is the ability to absorb people's vitality - that is, life force. And then turn people into corpse puppets of the fungus tree.
The King of Shu must have planned to plant this strange mushroom on the lid of his coffin, and then continuously absorb the life force. And through some evil planning, he became a conscious zombie!
Then he absorbs the life force condensed inside the fungus tree, waits until he is completely transformed into a zombie, and wakes up in a certain period of time to become stronger...
When the time comes, half human and half zombie!
Not only does it possess the memory, thinking, and consciousness of a living person. At the same time, there is the immortality of zombies.
Best of both worlds!
You can even think of ways to find the fully mature black plants in this area.
After eating them all, you might have the chance to reach the level of Iron-Armored Zombie!
After making these arrangements, the last thing the King of Shu did before his death was to poison his sworn brother, the evil cultivator! Then he relied on a sudden sneak attack to kill the opponent with only minor injuries.
Because he doesn't want anyone to know so many of his secrets and plans besides himself.
Therefore, that person must die!
This incident was originally kept secret, but the King of Shu still recorded it on the mural in his tomb... It shows that he was indeed a mean, unkind, and violent man.
Finally, he passed the throne to his son and made arrangements for his funeral. He took the initiative to lie down in the giant bronze coffin and died.
His son obeyed the order, despite the fact that the imperial court had abolished the cruel regulations of slave burial. Secretly selected a large number of slaves, killed them, and then poured their blood to water the strange fungus tree planted on the lid of the giant bronze coffin...
As a result, the dead King of Shu slowly transformed into a corpse in the giant bronze coffin.
Follow your own plan, perfectly become a thinking and intelligent zombie, and then break out of the coffin!
But he never expected that his perfect plan would be broken by his descendants!
This descendant is Zhu Qihan, the master of Bagua Guan.
The subsequent stories about the King of Shu all come from the records of the murals in the tomb, and these murals were actually left in Zhu Qihan's memory after seeing them. What my master obtained by searching for souls in it was equivalent to one ring after another...
Time passed slowly.
There is nothing in the world that will not perish.
The wheels of history turn and dynasties change.
Even the King of Shu could not have imagined that the Ming Dynasty would also perish almost a hundred years after his death!
Naturally, his descendants will no longer be kings of Shu, and they will also lose their talent for practicing magic and magical powers.
So now, even ordinary people can't do it, and they have to avoid all kinds of cruel pursuits by the new dynasty - the Qing Dynasty court...
By the time Zhu Qihan was born, it was already 1911.
That year, even the Qing Dynasty perished...
Zhu Qihan's family is very poor, and his parents are both farmers. Relying on farming for a living, the family does not even have enough to eat, and can only barely survive without starving to death.
Maybe this is the cycle of fate!
He turned out to be an innate Taoist boy - that is, a person who was born with a sense of energy and extremely talented in cultivation.
