Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 369: As a last resort

"Evil spirit? Evil corpse?" Yi Feng muttered, and then he said in surprise, "In this case, your sect can use ghost beasts to create another cultivation system."

"That's right." Leng Zhangpai nodded. He admitted that he had underestimated the wisdom of the Forgotten Township Military Advisor.

So, he no longer concealed his thoughts, looked at Shang Liangshan and said: "Xuanling, you have also seen my ghost spirit, what do you think if it is a large-scale slavery."

“Don’t test this spirit. Spirit guards are fundamentally different from your ghost slaves. They are spirits and fanatical followers of this spirit. There is no danger of backlash.” Shang Liangshan glanced at him and said.

"Please give us some advice, Xuanling." Leng Zhangpai bowed.

"Ghost slaves are too fierce, so don't pursue strength or numbers too much. It's best not to use your soul to control them. It's safest to use ghost weapons as carriers." Shang Liangshan said this, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I'm optimistic about evil corpses. You can use zombies as a blueprint to refine evil puppets that are suitable for your control."

Leng Zhang Sect thought after hearing this: "The ghost sail is easy to refine, but it can only puzzle the residual soul, and its strength is not strong. The evil puppet is a way."

"You've made a mistake. The residual souls are not strong, but they are numerous."

Shang Liangshan's words were like thunder, shaking Leng Zhang Pai's entire body, as if a door leading to infinite possibilities was opening to him.

He stood up excitedly to thank him, and couldn't wait to say goodbye and leave. He wanted to return to Xuanming Sect to verify his thoughts.

"Brother Feng, he is really an evil cultivator. Why can't I sense any resentment around him?" Zhao Li expressed his confusion.

"He shouldn't have killed innocent people indiscriminately." Yifeng murmured.

He also did not sense any resentment around the Leng Zhang Sect, which was not consistent with the characteristics of an evil cultivator.

"He is haunted by resentment, but it has been suppressed. It should be related to the reward from the will of the mountains and rivers. It seems that all parties are trying their best to kill the ghost beasts and fight for good fortune." Shang Liangshan expressed his guess.

"Does this count as offsetting merits and demerits?" Yihuo asked.

"I guess so." Yifeng nodded.

“Never mind about offsetting merits and demerits. In short, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The foundation of our Forgotten Township is too weak. We should not offend strong people if we can avoid offending them, and we should keep favors if we can.” The old patriarch said in a heavy tone.

The old man said this to Zhao Li.

"Clan leader, there is no need to worry too much. It is nothing to have dealings with evil cultivators on the mainland. Besides, we are not doing evil to them. Instead, we are taking in orphans. This is a great merit. Who can say anything, and who dares to say anything?" Zhao Li said righteously.

"Hehe, Lao Li is right. Come on, have a drink. I'll recite a poem later." Yihuo raised his glass to invite him.

Everyone couldn't help but smile and clink glasses with him when they heard this.

In the North Pavilion, Lin Weiwei looked at the dark clouds going away, looked at Wang Mu in surprise and asked, "Our Forgotten Village is still connected with the evil cultivators."

"The connection was made." Wangmu simply recounted the grudge between Forgotten Township and Xuanming Sect.

After listening to this, Lin Weiwei was silent for a long time before she said, "Liang Shan really showed great patience in order to forget the hometown."

"That's right." Wangmu agreed deeply.

When the night was quiet and people had dispersed, the old patriarch looked at Shang Liangshan, who was resting with his eyes closed, and asked, "Liangshan, how far are you from the eighth rank?"

It was not surprising for the old man to ask this question, because the vision the day before yesterday was so shocking.

If he hadn't known that Shang Liangshan had to overcome a tribulation to break through to the eighth level, everyone would have thought that he had made the breakthrough.

"It's not far if you say it's far, but it's also far if you say it's not far." Shang Liangshan had a Zen thought.

"Then let's talk about something close."

"After accumulating the Thunder's true body for a period of time, it can break through to the eighth level, but the spiritual aspect is a bit far away." Shang Liangshan wanted to break through both, so he had the previous Zen idea.

"Where are the Thunder Dragon, Phantom Thunder Cloud, Mountain and River Seal, and Silver Moon Curved Blade of the Golden Dragon?"

"Thunder Flood Dragon, Phantom Thunder Cloud, Silver Moon Curved Blade, as long as Taoist Xuan Zhen's east wind arrives, we will be ready to break through. Mountain and River Seal and Golden Flood Dragon still need time to accumulate, and their training methods are different from those of Thunder Flood Dragon."

The first three can be relied upon to swallow and accumulate energy, while the latter needs to be moved step by step. This situation is a bit like Shang Liangshan himself. The true body of Thunder can strengthen itself through swallowing, but the spiritual appearance needs to be understood by oneself.

"How many Lingwei and Huang Lingwei are there?" the old patriarch asked curiously.

"I really don't know. We can only know the exact number after Xiaocao comes out of the pass." Shang Liangshan said calmly.

…After hearing this, the old patriarch pondered for a while and then asked, “Do you still have thousands of lights to transform the third batch of spiritual believers?”

“Yes,” Shang Liangshan nodded and said, “After converting the third batch of spiritual leaders, there aren’t many left.”

"It doesn't matter if there are not many left. Ghosts are almost extinct near us."

"The little resentful demon should have led the team to the mainland just like the flying zombie."

“This is a good thing for us.”

"maybe."

"The day before yesterday, Tu Lao came back and said that all the major temples were developing through hard work. Although they had achieved some success, they left behind many orphans. After discussing it, they decided to transport the orphans to the village. Because there are so many of them, they need the cooperation of Phantom Thunder Cloud. You see..."

“How many orphans are there?”

"There are more than 3,000 orphans, but the people also want to send their own children here. After all, the temple is always facing attacks from ghosts and beasts, so the number of children is more than 10,000."

"Then send them all here. I'll ask Huanyou Leiyun to transport them. The village has the conditions to accept so many children."

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to accept it. This concerns the lives of many people and the future development of Forgotten Township."

“Okay, then let the Great Elder and the others prepare to receive the goods, and I will notify the soil layer right away.” After he finished speaking, Shang Liangshan closed his eyes, communicated with the divine elephant, and quickly locked the location of the soil layer.

The elephant's forehead glows, conveying information.

"Is that all?" the old patriarch blurted out when he saw Shang Liangshan close his eyes for just a second and then open them and stand up to drink tea.

"Yeah." Shang Liangshan nodded calmly. It was just a matter of a moment's thought.

It was a matter of a moment's thought for him, but the soil layer that received the message was indeed busy.

Soon, the management of the temples from all sides took action.

The next morning, Yifeng and his men also started moving, and Yixin Village became extremely busy.

Daniu and his men also began to recruit new temple guards.

Taking into account the duties of the temple guards, it is not advisable to have too many Yijing. More than 600 young men of appropriate age need to pass the assessment before they can join the temple guards. Those who fail will join the hunting team.

Therefore, Yihuo, who was temporarily serving as the leader of the hunting team, had to be present as well.

At the same time, above the Chen Temple, two dragons were communicating in the air. They were the Thunder Dragon and the Cloud Dragon transformed from the Phantom Thunder Cloud.

There was a faint sound of crying coming from the Temple New Village.

Parents and relatives are seeing their children off, feeling somewhat reluctant to part, because they know that after today, they will be separated from each other and may never see each other again.
