Chapter 285: Mystery of the Essence
When Mr. Lu heard what Chen Ping said, he looked at him thoughtfully.

The old man, who claimed to be from the Western Regions and knew everything about the affairs of the Western Regions, said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, generals, and lords, there has always been a legend in the Kingdom of Jingjue. That is: the queens of Jingjue in all generations are actually the same person, just reincarnated. Each generation of the Queen of Jingjue is famous for her proficiency in witchcraft and sorcery. In addition, in order to maintain mystery, the Queens of Jingjue in all generations have covered their true appearance with veils, and almost no one has seen their true faces.

Therefore, many people believe that the Queen of Jingjue is the same person from beginning to end."

Tian Xuan tapped his forehead with a finger: "The Queens of Jingjue in all previous generations are the same person, what a joke! If the Queen of Jingjue really has the ability to reincarnate, then wouldn't the Jingjue Kingdom have already dominated the Western Regions?"

"Your Majesty is right." Old Man Lu agreed with Tianxuan's point of view. Although Xiao He, Liu Ji, Chen Ping, Zhang Han and others did not speak, it was obvious that they completely agreed.

"Your Majesty," Old Man Lu continued, "the pig-faced bats, army ants, and fire beetles that General Li Shang and Lord Chen Ping encountered, as far as I know, are all Gu creatures cultivated by the Jingjue Kingdom using the Gu-raising method. In addition to these three Gu creatures, I also know that the Jingjue Kingdom cultivated a terrifying creature using witchcraft."

Having said that, Uncle Lu turned his gaze to Tianxuan.

"Uncle Lu, why are you looking at me like that?" Tianxuan felt very uncomfortable being stared at by Uncle Lu with such a strange look, so he asked back.

Old Man Lu said in a detached tone, "Your Majesty, the reason why I look at you like this is because the terrifying creatures cultivated by the Jingjue Nation with witchcraft perfectly fit the description of zombies in your prehistoric novels!"

Zombies!

When this extremely intimidating word came out of Mr. Lu's mouth, the temperature in the hall dropped sharply, and almost everyone felt a chill.

When Tianxuan was creating the second volume of the book, The Lich King, he deliberately introduced the struggle between the Lich King and the Lich King into the emerging human race, and shaped the war god Chiyou, who fought against Emperor Xuanyuan, into a great shaman of the Wu clan. In this war, three beings on Emperor Xuanyuan's side, plus the great shaman of the Wu clan, Hou Qing, were disturbed by the evil spirits between heaven and earth and transformed into zombies.

Vampire zombies feed on the blood of humans and animals. They are the first generals.

Sucking zombies, absorbing the essence of all things as food, the ancestor is Ying Gou;

Flesh zombies, devouring the flesh and blood of humans and animals for food, the ancestor is Hou Qing;
The Yin zombies absorb the Yin energy between heaven and earth as nutrients, and eventually achieve the transformation of Yin into Yang, and their ancestor is Hanba.

There are four kinds of zombies, with Jiang Chen, Ying Gou, Hou Qing and Han Ba ​​as their ancestors. In Tian Xuan's writing, they were born before and after the Battle of Zhu Lu, but they did not die in this vigorous war. Everyone present had read Tian Xuan's masterpiece, and the description of zombies in it was scary enough.

Old Man Lu actually said that there really was a kind of zombie-like creature in the country of Jingjue. Liu Ji, Xiao He, Zhang Han and others were so frightened that they shuddered with fear. They all felt a chill on their necks, as if there was a zombie behind them that might pounce on them at any time and turn them into food.

"Go on!" Tianxuan remained indifferent, his expression showing no sign of fluctuation. He told Uncle Lu to continue speaking as if nothing had happened.

Old Man Lu coughed several times and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this kind of creature from Jingjue Country..."

"Since these creatures are very similar to the zombies in my ancient world, just call them zombies." Tianxuan corrected Uncle Lu as soon as he started talking.

"Yes." Mr. Lu also felt that the word "zombie" was very vivid to describe the creatures between life and death raised by the Jingjue Kingdom, so he accepted Tianxuan's opinion. "The Jingjue Kingdom has a kind of witchcraft. When the dead are buried, a talisman that has been burned to ashes is placed in the dead person's mouth. The dead person holds the most precious thing in his hand. Once the body is touched, the dead person will revive, grow hard hair all over the body, and be invulnerable to swords and guns. At this time, the Jingjue Kingdom can use secret methods to drive these zombies to kill the enemy." Hiss!
Hearing that there were invulnerable zombies in Jingjue, Liu Ji and others all gasped, as if they were falling into an ice cellar, and even heard the sound of swallowing saliva, which was particularly loud against the empty environment. Tianxuan, who was sitting in the main seat, glanced at the fearful faces of his subordinates and felt extremely embarrassed.

"What is there to be afraid of?" Tian Xuan said impatiently, "Since these zombies are just invulnerable, wouldn't they be burned to charcoal if we set them on fire?" Tian Xuan's expression became stern as he spoke, "Besides, even if there are really invulnerable zombies in Jingjue Country, there won't be too many of them. Otherwise, the entire Western Region would have long been ruled by Jingjue Country."

"Your Majesty, your guess is absolutely correct." Old Man Lu once again echoed Tian Xuan's words, "Although Jingjue Country can refine zombies, these zombies must be refined from the corpses of generals who are full of blood and good at fighting. I estimate that there should be no more than ten zombies in Jingjue Country!"

"Ten zombies, there's really no need to worry!"

"In that case, although the Jingjue Kingdom is a trouble, it is not a big trouble!"

"interesting!"

……

Tianxuan and Mr. Lu's words awakened Chen Ping, Xiao He and the others. After shedding their fear of the netherworld, they thought about it and felt that the zombies of Jingjue Kingdom were nothing to be afraid of. Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo and the others were even more eager to see the legendary zombies right now.

"Besides zombies, what other treasures does the Queen of Jingjue have?" Tianxuan saw the expressions of his subordinates and knew that they were no longer afraid of the Jingjue Kingdom. He looked at Uncle Lu and asked.

"Your Majesty, I believe you also know that the people of Jingjue call themselves the Ghost Cave Clan. Although they come to the surface to carry out activities, their roots are still underground. It is rumored that there is an underground world with many connections in Jingjue City, which is the real territory of Jingjue. There have always been rumors in the Western Regions that the Ghost Cave Clan represented by the Queen of Jingjue is actually a life form from underground."

"This is all I know. As for what is in the underground world of Jingjue City, that is beyond my knowledge."

"You're too polite." Although Tian Xuan knew most of what Uncle Lu said, it was still a great help. "Uncle Lu, thank you for the information. It's getting late. You should go down and rest!"

"Here."

Mr. Lu agreed and walked out, dragging his aging body.

After sending Mr. Lu away, Tianxuan waved to Xiao He. Receiving Tianxuan's gesture, Xiao He came to Tianxuan's side, squatted down, put his ear close to Tianxuan's mouth, and waited for the order of the master.

Seeing that Xiao He was so tactful, Tianxuan used his supernatural power to string together the words he was going to say into a line and transmitted them into Xiao He's ears. The others could only see Tianxuan's lips moving and had no idea what they were saying.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

After a few breaths, Xiao He stood up, bowed to Chong Tianxuan, and indicated that he understood what to do.
