Phoenix studied the formation map of the land fierce array for a while on the road. When killing Ma Yuan, the energy of the formation killed him. This thing was basically equivalent to a disposable item, and its destructive power was reduced to only one-tenth of its original when used again.
She believed that the land fierce array was incomplete and, coupled with the interference from the sage, she failed to kill Ma Yuan. Actually, she was wrong; the land fierce array is worthy of being the second formation among the Ten Absolute Arrays.
Ma Yuan's survival was because the Land Fierce Array had already killed a "person" - the remaining trace of ancient immortal consciousness stored in the bone claws.
The Land Fierce Array is actually quite intelligent. The formation map believes that the trace of consciousness belonging to the ancient immortal poses the greatest threat, so it gathers all its strength and first extinguishes this trace of consciousness, followed by Ma Yuan.
The bone claws were burned to ashes by the earth fire, and on the battlefield, Phoenix only saw a bit of remnants.
This realm does not allow the resurrection of ancient immortals from the Upper Ancient Age. Since they are already dead, they should continue to die. However, Ma Yuan cultivated the Shangqing Daoist Law and relied on the characteristics of "escape from one" to survive, with a fragment of bone remaining. This fragment was left on the White Bone Ridge, and with the arrival of Quan Ti Buddha, this fragment was rejuvenated with a glimmer of life again.
The team of divine beasts carried the Jing River Dragon King to a plain more than a hundred miles away from the White Bone Ridge. The scenery here was beautiful with clear rivers and lush mountains, so they buried the Jing River Dragon King and the stretcher together.
Lao Bear poured a cup of wine, which served as a farewell to this person.
Jiang Zitia had died and lived, and lived and died. He was constantly saved by people offering him golden pills. In reality, this is a special case in a special period. The Jing River Dragon King is obviously not entitled to such treatment. Phoenix and they will not refine golden pills that can revive the dead dragon. Just bury it directly.
More than ten days after the divine beast team left, a nomadic tribe called "Bao Xiang" arrived to settle here. Several tribal hunters went out to hunt and accidentally discovered the body of the Jing River Dragon King. They dug up the body and the stretcher again, utterly amazed. The body showed no signs of decay, and the material of the stretcher, as well as its style, were something they had never seen before. This was truly a gift from the gods!
The entire tribe made many stretchers out of sticks and animal skins to transport the wounded. In addition to the original Bao Xiang totem, they also offered some incense to the Jing River Dragon King, praying for his protection in order to ensure a bountiful harvest and good weather.
Other things aside, good harvests and smooth weather are indeed related to the dragon king's responsibilities. Plus, the Jing River Dragon King is a member of the Temple of Incense and Sacrifices. The incense offered by the Bao Xiang tribe cannot bring him back to life in its original form, but it can keep his physical body from decaying.
The Jing River Dragon King was not supposed to encounter Ma Yuan, nor should he have died in the White Bone Ridge. However, he did die for some reason, and Ma Yuan's demonic nature corrupted his soul.
His two souls and six spirits descended into the Underworld, while the remaining one soul and one spirit turned into a wandering ghost, roaming at will in the world.
He was in a daze, traveling eastward and eventually returning to his own Jing River.
At this time, Xi Qí was promoting the Move Mountain Plan. A few magicians were recruited by Ji Chang, and along with the slaves from the State of Shu provided by Deng's family, as well as the prisoners of war from Xixu and Chong Houhu after their defeat, more than 100,000 people were working day and night to advance the Move Mountain Plan.
The geomancy of the Jing River and the Wei River has been destroyed, affected by Ma Yuan's demonic nature. The Jing River Dragon King is sometimes clear-headed and sometimes confused, forced to wander aimlessly within this area that includes the Jing River, Xi Qi, and Si Water Pass every day.
"Brother, look, there is a ghost over there!"
Chaoguo General, Garrison General, with a height of 36 zhang (approximately 12 meters), Fang Bing pointed at the misty figure of the Jing River Dragon King and spoke to his brother.
His brother, Fang Xiang, is also 34 zhang tall, which calculates to a giant of 11 meters in height.
The two brothers referred to themselves as generals, but in reality, no one in Chaoguo took them seriously as generals. Instead, they were more like weapons used for charging into battle and breaking through enemy lines.
King Zhou usually had the two brothers guard the palace gates to showcase the might of the Yin and Shang dynasties as the common ruler of the land. Recently, as Chong Houhu had suffered consecutive defeats, King Zhou dispatched the two brothers to charge into battle.
Before they encountered a Suhu surname outsider in the city of Chaoguo, the two brothers learned a set of skills for driving away and capturing ghosts. They also knew that the mortal realm was only one of the three realms, and when people died, it was not the end. There was a new journey waiting for everyone in the Underworld.
Instantly, the two brothers lost interest in mortal affairs. After struggling for a while, they forgot everything after drinking a bowl of soup. Would they have to reincarnate and start struggling all over again? The two of them stubbornly wanted to become disciples of Lady Su, although they were rejected, they also got to know several judges and functionaries from the underworld as a result.
At this time, seeing the Jing River Dragon King, the two brothers couldn't help but feel a little itchy.
King Zhou? He's nothing! They have already planned to go to the underworld and guard the gates, but the underworld also requires "personnel" tribute. They are now in the stage of saving money.
Suddenly, they saw a ghost by the roadside and thought it must be quite valuable.
"Brother, let me do it!"
"Brother, you look ugly. Let me do it!"
The two giants, over ten meters tall, "hid" in the bushes and discussed for a while before finally deciding that Fang Xiang would take action.
A normal person would have seen them long ago, but the Jing River Dragon King is not in a normal state at the moment.
With only one soul and one essence, there are not many memories left. They wander aimlessly every day like a headless fly.
Suddenly, he heard a loud noise: "Hiss! Why are you, that ghost, wandering aimlessly here? It's making grandpa dizzy!"
Fang Xiang's face was twisted in a sinister way, combined with his towering 11-meter figure. To be honest, he was even scarier than the ghost.
The Jing River Dragon King turned his head slowly and looked over: "I, the king? You say, say, it is not a ghost? The king is a ghost?"
Fang Xiang crouched down on the ground, exposing his back to him, "Are you going to the market up ahead? Come on, I'm also a ghost. Let me carry you on my back."
Jing River Dragon King's soul and essence still had some of his previous behavior patterns. He believed that his legs were not good, making it inconvenient to walk. Although he was a ghost, he moved by stretching his neck, taking deep steps and shallow steps in a very awkward way, making Fang Xiang feel that he was moving too slowly. Therefore, Fang Xiang proposed carrying him on his back.
"Okay, you are also a ghost?" The Jing River Dragon King agreed without much thinking.
"Oh yes, of course." Fang Xiang had picked up this phrase from Lady Su, and used it as a shortcut whenever he didn't want to waste time on unnecessary chatter.
Ghosts are heavy, and a ghost lying on a person's back often has the ability to kill them, but Fang Xiang is not an ordinary person. Ordinary human beings rarely grow to a height of eleven meters. He has the blood of the Wujia Tribe, which makes his resistance to ghosts and monsters far stronger than that of an ordinary person.
At this moment, he allowed the Jing River Dragon King to sit on his shoulders, not using a spirit-binding charm but instead relying on his own strong vitality to bear the dead energy.
They traveled southward and soon arrived at an empty wilderness.
Fang Xiang suddenly grabbed the Jing River Dragon King, threw him to the ground, and the memories of being killed by Ma Yuan awakened instantly.
The Jing River Dragon King's ability to speak had recovered by two points: "You? What do you want to do?"
Fang Xiang spat a mouthful of saliva onto the Jing River Dragon King, like a fountain.
The ghost's body immediately changed into that of an old goat.
