55. The disadvantages of necrosis
There are nine parties in Chizhou, and Anfang is located in the south-southwest of Chizhou.
In the nine territories of Anfang, Jiao'an Territory is located in the south of the four territories of the Wanzhulin Trade Road, and the territories bordering it are only Da Luo Territory in the west and Tai'an Territory in the east.
Ye Kong didn't want to go to Tai'an Ling, so if he wanted to leave Jiao'an Ling, he could only trek all the way west to Da Luoling.
Originally, the best way to go to Da Luoling was to take the Wanzhulin Business Road.
But because of such a special existence as Yi Ran, he can only pick the route in the wilderness, after all, there are often Confucian disciples passing by on the Wanzhulin Trade Road, and it is easy to fight if it is not good, in order to avoid trouble, Ye Kong had to give up the official road of the Wanzhulin Trade Road.
But fortunately, he asked for a picture from Yin Yue, so he didn't have to worry about getting lost.
The square inch map is a kind of map for monks, it is about the size of an adult's palm, as long as you pour the true element into it, you can project the geographical location in detail according to the size of the scale, which is a very convenient tool. According to the scale from large to small, it is divided into four scales: Shenzhou square inch map, each state square inch map, all parties square inch map, and each collar square inch map, which is divided into four levels: high-quality, high-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade.
The high-quality square inch map will list in detail the various paths, underground rivers, caves, and even known secret realms, underground palaces and other detailed information, which are generally circulated within the major sect forces. Compared with the high-quality products, the high-grade square inch map lacks a variety of known secret realms, underground palaces, mining caves, resource distribution and other information; Again, in addition to the recorded data, there are only some more trails, shortcuts and other safety routes than the lower grade.
The next product square inch diagram, in addition to the normal annotation, there is no other additional thing.
The An Fang Cun map that Yin Yue gave Ye Kong is a medium-grade square inch map, which not only records the marking of An Fang Jiuling, but also indicates some shortcuts that can be passed safely, trails that can be shortened, and some dangerous areas that have been discovered.
It can be seen that Yin Yue is selling Ye Kong's favors, and this square inch map should be sent by Yin Yue as a supervisor this time.
People who can cultivate to the realms of Yin Yue and Li Changqing will never be stupid. From Ye Kong's seemingly simple but to the point comments of various sects, they knew that Ye Kong was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface, if they really thought that he was just a cultivator who had entered the Great Perfection of the Xuan Realm, then it would be impossible for them to cultivate to the current realm.
Although this method of giving up is a little disgraceful, it is not an evil way after all, at least not in many cases.
In addition, the Snow Mountain Sword Sect and the Immortal Sect were both fighting, and they couldn't afford to cause another trouble for themselves, so both sides had a very tacit choice not to make a move against Ye Kong. It's not that they are proud, but on the contrary, they all have extremely strong confidence in their sect, which is a true sense of identity with the sect and a sense of pride in being a member of it.
Of course, if Ye Kongna would show hostility, then I'm afraid the ending would be very different. Or, if there was no Yin Yue from the Snow Mountain Sword Sect at that time, but only Li Changqing from the Immortal Sect, then I am afraid the ending would be very different.
But there are no ifs in the monastic world.
Therefore, Ye Kong asked for an An Fang Cun map from Yin Yue, and also took Qingyi and Yiran to embark on the road of no return on an abnormal road.
It is even very likely that even if he left Jiao'an Ling and went to Da Luo Ling, he would not dare to enter the city at will.
There is no other reason.
Or is it because of the existence of Ran.
Ye Kong didn't have a good way to solve the cultivation method for the time being, after all, he didn't know how to guide the corpse cultivation, which was the only thing he wasn't good at.
The only thing Ye Kong clearly remembered was that the cultivation method of corpse cultivation was more troublesome and tricky than that of ghost cultivation. Like ghost cultivation, not only can absorb yin qi, but even death qi, spiritual energy, moonlight essence, etc., can also be swallowed and absorbed, so as to achieve the purpose of improving cultivation. However, corpse cultivation is different, corpse cultivation can only rely on absorbing death qi to strengthen their body, so as to reach the point of improving the realm of cultivation, which is also the fundamental reason why corpse cultivation generally only stays in the corpse cultivation ground.
Of course, if they don't find a suitable place to raise corpses, then in the absence of sufficient dead qi, although corpse cultivators can also cultivate by absorbing spiritual energy, the spiritual energy they absorb into their bodies is a step that needs to be retransformed, and the efficiency is naturally slower than the progress of absorbing dead qi by half or even more.
However, unlike human monks, corpse cultivators, as a corpse, have an almost endless lifespan, so no matter how much time they consume, they have no idea what.
It's just that Yiran is following Ye Kong's side, so this situation is a bit special.
Now he is only a sixth-level cultivator, and in the cultivation realm, he is at the level of cultivation that has just begun to cultivate, and it is only a little better than entering the Xuan realm. In addition, he has not mastered any supernatural powers and spells yet, and only relies on the strength of his physical body to fight, once he encounters a Confucian disciple or someone who is good at catching ghosts and exorcism, then he will suffer a big loss, and may even be killed directly.
This is what Ye Kong is most distressed about.
Corpse cultivation is just a general term, in fact, corpse cultivation can master a variety of different martial arts and spells like monks, and even comprehend supernatural changes like ghost cultivation and demon cultivation. However, it is precisely because of these reasons that it is not only very difficult for corpse cultivation to be born, but even the ascension of the realm will be very difficult, and even learning spells, martial arts, etc., is not what kind of martial arts and spells can be learned freely.
Among them, the martial arts and techniques that corpse cultivation can never learn are the way of sword cultivation, the thunder method, the yang technique in the yin and yang arts, and the fire and wood in the five elements. According to Ye Kong's basic setting, corpse cultivators are mostly good at Yin, water, earth and other spells, and their martial arts are more convenient and more inclined to fist and foot kung fu.
But even if Ye Kong knew these basic settings, he still couldn't teach the martial arts and spells to Yiran.
The most basic point of the cultivation of martial arts is that the body should be soft enough, but the body is as hard as iron, and even bending, squatting, horse steps and other actions cannot be done, so how to learn martial arts? As for the magic, you must at least be able to comprehend the meaning, but it is so simple that it can almost be said that it is mentally retarded, and it is not even possible to say a complete sentence, how can you learn the magic?
Normally, a corpse cultivator who dares to walk in the cultivation realm must at least be a realm-breaking cultivator and master a few spells or martial arts before he dares to show up.
But Yi Ran was brought out by Ye Kong under abnormal circumstances, so of course it had the cultivation of the sixth layer of Tongxuan, but it was probably difficult for him to improve his strength for a long time, because he really couldn't find a suitable place for Yu Ran to cultivate.
"Could it be that Master really has no way?" Ye Kong also told Qingyi about the situation, and the little guy's face looked very helpless after hearing it.
If ordinary people saw the existence of corpse cultivation, they would probably be scared to death. Even if he wasn't scared to death, he wouldn't like the strange smell of the corpse, or even the dead air on the corpse and the cold aura that constantly emanated.
The exception is Qingyi.
Because of the particularity of her physique, she has a relatively strong resistance to death qi, and whether it is the cold aura on Ye Kong or Yi Ran's body, it will only make Qingyi feel comfortable, not uncomfortable. Of course, more importantly, under Ye Kong's guidance, Qing Yi was able to use the yin qi emanating from Yi Ran's body to accelerate the progress of his own cultivation, which was like opening a cheat.
In just half a month after separating from Yin Yue, Qingyi has already stepped into the realm of entering the third layer of Xuan, and after a full calculation, Qingyi has gone from a mortal who knows nothing to a monk who has entered the third layer of Xuan, and it has only taken a little more than two and a half months before and after, even if this cultivation speed is placed in those families, it is definitely worthy of the word "genius".
Of course, to a large extent, this is actually due to the strength of the heaven-level exercise of "Taiyi Xuanshui Jue".
With this upper-level heaven-level exercise, the cultivation mantra that points directly to the avenue, and Ye Kong's constant correction beside him, let Qingyi avoid taking the wrong path, if Qingyi does not have this cultivation speed and results, then it is really a waste of Ye Kong's hard work.
And Qingyi, while her cultivation has been greatly improved, she has not forgotten her junior brother.
Therefore, when she heard Ye Kong say that the progress of Yi Ran's cultivation might not be optimistic, she showed such an eager look.
"It's not like it can't be helped." Ye Kong thought for a moment, and then said, "Unless we find a place to raise corpses, and then let Yi Ran go in and stay for a while, we can naturally speed up his cultivation speed." …… And the closest place to raise corpses from us is the gray underground palace, but it is too dangerous there, and coupled with the current situation in Jiao'an, it is not our ideal choice. ”
"Is there no other way?" Qingyi asked, "Master, you are so powerful, there must be a way." ”
"I didn't ...... Close...... System...... Target. Standing aside, although he didn't quite understand the conversation between Ye Kong and Qing Yi, he instinctively felt that it seemed to be related to his own cultivation, but he was a little unhappy at the thought of going to that cold place and not being able to stay with Ye Kong and Qing Yi.
"It doesn't matter what it is!" Yiran was not in a hurry, Qingyi was a little anxious, "You are such a fool!" ”
Yi Ran looked at Qing Yi a little puzzled, and then glanced at Ye Kong again, completely unable to understand why Qing Yi was suddenly so anxious, but when he heard Qing Yi say himself, although he didn't understand what he meant, but thinking about what Ye Kong had been saying a few days ago, he had to be polite, so after thinking about it for a while, he still opened his mouth and responded: "Oh." ”
"Oh what! Call you stupid, you are still proud! Qingyi was so angry that he jumped up, and wanted to reach out to poke Yiran's head, but found that the height difference was too big, so he had to say, "Carry me up." ”
With a blank face, she picked up Qingyi and put it on her shoulder, just like she would always sit on his shoulder when Qingyi was tired of walking.
And Qing Yi, who was sitting on Ling Ran's shoulder, first adjusted his position to make himself sit a little more comfortable, and then reached out to poke Ling Ran's head: "You stupid, you're really angry with me!" If you can't become stronger, then how can you accompany your sister and me to travel all over the world! You can't let Master take care of us for the rest of your life, can you? So, you have to be strong! You know? ”
"Oh." After thinking about it, Yi Ran still responded, although he didn't know what Qing Yi was talking about, but that didn't stop him from liking this feeling.
"It's infuriating." Qingyi said angrily, but turned his head, but looked at Ye Kong with a pitiful face, "Master......"
"There is really nothing to do as a teacher except to find a place to raise corpses." Ye Kong also shook his head helplessly, "With his current situation, whether it is martial arts or spells, I can't teach them." ”
"That'...... Let's go find a place to keep the corpses! ”
"You think it's so easy to find a place to keep corpses." Ye Kong smiled bitterly, but in an instant, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Wait, maybe, there really is a ready-made corpse breeding ground." It's just a few of us, I'm afraid it's not easy to win. ”
"Huh? Where? Where? ”
"Osawa Bitter Water Collar." Ye Kong said softly.
