C17 People Who Don't Want to Die
Those people were all killed by the Eviscerate Slash. Some of them were dressed in prison uniforms, while some were dressed in ordinary people's clothes. Those who were dressed in prison uniforms were undoubtedly Yao Chang's prisoners. What about those who were dressed in ordinary clothes? Who were they?
Yao Chang originally thought that the Great Necromancer would either bury or burn the corpses that he had given to the Great Necromancer. However, he did not expect that he had hidden them all underground. Why did the Great Necromancer want to collect those corpses? Other than the prisoners who were killed by the Imperial Court, were the others killed by the Great Necromancer?
People also discovered that the decaying degree of the sixty or so corpses was the same. They all looked like they had died for ten days or half a month. In other words, it seemed to match the date of the Great Necromancer's death. However, some of the prisoners who had been decapitated were clearly dead for several months!
After Great Necromancer died, no one knew why his corpse had started to rot after so long. However, not long after Great Necromancer died, the Nightmare started again. Yao Chang was unable to bear it and started to search for experts again, hoping that someone could stop the Nightmare like Great Necromancer did.
At that time, many people who thought that their cultivation was profound went to dispel Yao Chang's evil. However, it was useless. Yao Chang's nightmares became more and more terrifying. In the end, he fell into a state of madness and died in fear.
The king of a country was so terrified that it was laughable, but that was the truth. That was also the first time the Soul Sealing Slash had appeared in history. After Yao Chang's death, the mysterious blade that was carved with runes had disappeared.
History was like a cycle of reincarnation. One generation after another of life was destroyed, and one dynasty after another rose and fell. In the undercurrent, many mysterious, absurd, and strange things were buried, and many new things were unearthed. However, in the midst of the great waves, there would always be some things that floated up and then fell down. The Soul Sealing Slash appeared once again in the Song Dynasty a few hundred years later. That time, it was used in the war.
Since ancient times, in many wars, evil techniques and Dao Arts had played an important part. Some of them directly concerned the rise and fall of the dynasty. Not to mention that a hundred years ago, when Zhang Xianzhong besieged Anhui County in Anhui Province, there was someone who offered an evil technique to cut off the heads of many women and bury them naked in a pit. As a result, the cannons on the enemy's city were either cracked or muted, resulting in the defeat of the enemy. Another year, in the war of Vietnam, the Curse Master fought with the Mao Mountain Sect, causing many strange things to appear on the battlefield. At that time, many soldiers were scared out of their minds.
At that time, there was a "Team of Ghost" that was feared by everyone in the great country that was hostile to Soong Army. It was said that the "Team of Ghost" was a team that had been borrowed from the Underworld by a Taoist expert. The team was led by a general who had already died for hundreds of years, and it was commanded by 3,000 Yin Soldiers. All the Yin Soldiers were dressed in ancient longevity clothes, and they carried the ancient flag of the Soul Summoning Flag. Each of them had a deathly pale face, and they would launch an attack on Soong Army in the dark at night. Moreover, when they charged forward, they would let out a ghostly cry that would make one's hair stand on end, and they were invincible.
They attacked one city after another. They were ruthless and vicious. Wherever they passed, rivers of blood flowed and white bones piled up. It was a scene of devastation. The people of Song were terrified when they heard the news. In the end, every time they attacked a city, the people in the city would commit suicide.
Under the attacks of the Ghost Battle Team, the Soong Army gradually showed signs of defeat. Just as they were about to reach the end of the road and the sun was setting, a Taoist Priest dressed like a priest carried a weapon wrapped in red cloth and came outside the Song Army camp. He said that he wanted to see the general.
When the country was about to be destroyed, many hidden masters would appear and do their best to help the country. This person in the army knew this, so the general was not that difficult to meet.
When the Taoist Priest saw the general, the first thing he said was, "I can turn the current situation around."
Seeing that Taoist Priest had a sage-like demeanor, the general was overjoyed. He personally poured tea and asked, "Taoist Priest, what plan do you have?"
The Taoist Priest shook his head and said, "I don't have a good plan. I have an evil technique that I can offer."
At that critical moment, as long as they could turn the situation around, who cared about the evil technique? The general asked the Taoist Priest to tell him.
The Taoist Priest sighed and said, "That evil technique is really sinister. If I didn't see the country being destroyed and the people being starved, I wouldn't have used it!"
After sighing for a while, the Taoist Priest placed the weapon that was wrapped in a red cloth on the table. He opened the red cloth layer by layer, revealing an ancient large saber. The blade was covered in dense runes, and it was filled with the feeling of the vicissitudes of time. It was filled with a mysterious and heavy aura. The blade was sharp, and it seemed to contain a shocking power. With a single glance, one could tell that it was a rare Divine Weapon.
But no matter how powerful a saber was, could it reverse the situation? The general asked the Taoist Priest, "What is the use of this saber?"
The Taoist Priest's hands searched the large saber for a long time and sighed faintly, "An ordinary saber can kill people. This saber can seal the soul!"
After saying that, the Taoist Priest took the large saber in his hand and said, "If you want to win this war, you need to kill people first. Kill people who don't want to die!"
The general felt awkward when he heard that. He asked the Taoist Priest, "What do you mean?"
The Taoist Priest said, "They are people who have great worries in this world and don't want to die. No matter what, they want to live on."
The general frowned when he heard that. He thought to himself, 'Is this Taoist Priest a madman who came out of nowhere?' He carried a large saber and said that he could turn the situation around. However, he didn't think about how to fight the enemy. Instead, he was thinking about killing people who didn't want to die. It didn't sound very reliable.
Seeing that the general was silent, the Taoist Priest continued to explain, "After an ordinary person is beheaded, their soul will leave their body and go to the place where it should go. The soul of the person who is killed by the Soul Sealing Slash will be sealed in the body. At the same time, the person who is sealed will feel unwillingness, fear, sadness, hatred, and curses when they die. In this way, the corpse will become an extremely vengeful thing. After being treated with a special secret technique, the corpse will move and turn into a walking corpse. Because of the support of endless resentment, they are extremely powerful. If they deal with the ghost team, they only need a hundred people to completely wipe them out.
From the old Daoist’s simple explanation, one could tell that it was indeed a cruel and inhumane evil art. It was also a bit unrealistic. It was hard for ordinary people to imagine that a person whose head had been chopped off could still stand up and fight.
