Chapter 638: The Legend of the Corpse Immortal
Sun Luyuan, like Li Huaishan, is the kind of broken mouth, and the story he tells is really an old lady's footcloth, smelly and long.
However, the Kunlun Corpse Immortal incident back then was indeed more complicated, and it could not be summed up in one or two sentences.
In the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 1912, a bunch of horse-drawn carriages passed through the scorching heat of Sichuan and Shu, and approached the Kunlun Mountains along the Chumar River.
It is said that the owner of the convoy was a wealthy family in the late Qing Dynasty, and in order to escape the tide of revolution in Sichuan, he brought his belongings this time and followed his wife back to his parents' house for refuge.
His wife's in-law is Tusi at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and the destination of the convoy is also Dayue Bay, where the main village of Tusi Country is located.
Since the convoy entered the boundary of Dayue Bay, there were no living people on the road, and there were no crops in the huge serf garden, only large patches of wild grass, and occasionally birds could be seen flapping their wings and circling in circles over the deserted world.
The rich man felt that the situation was different and wanted to withdraw, but his wife had not returned to her hometown for more than ten years, and she was homesick and refused to leave.
This woman has a strong temperament, and the rich man can't persuade her, so he can only promise to go to the main village to see first, and if there is nothing to do, he will stay, but if the situation is different, he will leave quickly.
When I came to the gate of the main village, no matter how the rich and the family shouted, no one responded.
Later, the cook, who was still with the team, found that there was a pair of human bones displayed in the watchtower on the wall, and the rich man was timid, and when he saw the skeleton, he was immediately frightened, and said that he wanted to leave.
But his wife was worried that something would happen to her mother's family, and when she saw that the rich man insisted on leaving, she tied up the rich man, and then she had to find a way to open the door of the village, and many people did not dare to follow in, so they waited outside, and the rich man's wife instructed them not to move, but they were afraid that they would leave with the rich man, so he had a heart, and actually carried the rich man into the village, and several family members were afraid that something would happen to the master, and they also followed in front and back.
As soon as I entered the village, I found that there were only piles of white bones left in the huge walled garden.
The strange thing is that each skeleton is covered with complete clothes, and there are strings of headdresses on the skulls, and even some skeletons are holding horn cups in their hands.
These dead people seem to have turned into bones in an instant, and the moment before they died, it was still a lively scene of drinking and talking.
On the ground, there were still some plates and cups of gold and silver, and the wine barrel that had been poured into the corner of the courtyard was broken, and the wine that flowed out had long since dried up, leaving only a dry stain on the ground.
When the rich man saw this scene, he almost fainted with fright, and his wife was also shocked, so she didn't dare to go deeper, so she hurriedly rushed out with a few family members.
When he ran outside the village, he found that all the entourages who did not enter the gate of the village had become corpses, and even the horses he pulled had become skeletons scattered on the ground.
The belongings on the car didn't dare to ask for any more, and the group just ran for their lives, until they ran to the neighboring Tusi country, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At that time, Bai Shanzi was cultivating in the Kunlun Mountain area, and that day he went down the mountain to buy food and goods, and happened to meet this group of people.
This Bai Shanzi is precisely Su Hansheng's master.
At that time, the rich family had no more entanglements, so they could only take their wives and run around the houses to beg for food, Bai Shanzi saw that they were pitiful, so he gave them a meal of porridge and rice.
To say that this rich man is not a person without kindness, he was grateful for Bai Shanzi's kindness, and saw that Bai Shanzi was dressed in shabby, so he told Bai Shanzi that he gave up a lot of gold and silver in the area of Dayue Bay, and if the world was too peaceful that day, Bai Shanzi could go and get it.
Bai Shanzi knew that there was a problem here, so he asked the rich man, since he knew that there was money in Dayue Bay, why did he still beg for food here?
Only then did the rich man tell him what had happened to him.
Bai Shanzi listened to his words, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was wrong, it is said that Dayue Bay is not too far from here, if something happens there, it is impossible for Tusi here not to know, but he has been wandering around the local area for three or four days, but he has never heard anyone talk about Dayue Bay.
Probably thinking that the rich family's character was acceptable, Bai Shanzi first arranged a temporary place for the rich family to live, and then mobilized several Kunlun Mountain hermitages around him to investigate the local Tusi.
Later, I learned that the local Tusi had been inspired by the gods two months ago, and there would be a blood disaster in Dayue Bay today, and only by sealing the road and cutting off the connection with Dayue Bay could the blood disaster flow into his own territory.
The immortal who conveys the revelation like Tusi calls himself Kunlun Corpse Immortal.
Since then, Tusi has set up a shrine at home to worship this Kunlun corpse fairy every day, and since then, every three days, Tusi will send twenty-three serfs to the northwest mountains, but the locals only see the serfs entering the mountain, but no one comes out of the mountain.
Bai Shanzi concluded that this must be an evil act, and it happened that it was the day when the serfs entered the mountain, so he disguised himself and followed the serfs into the northwest mountains.
In that mountain gorge, Bai Shanzi saw a scene that even he couldn't explain.
As soon as the twenty-three serfs entered the mountain, they immediately became delirious, and Bai Shanzi followed far behind, and saw that these people's footsteps suddenly fluttered, and their feet left the ground, and one by one floated into the air.
Looking at those people, it was as if someone had put a rope around their necks and hung them in the air.
Bai Shanzi had the intention to rescue, but before he could make a move, a blood mist floated on the serfs' bodies, and the flesh and blood were like a handful of sand and dust, separated from their bones.
In a few breaths, all twenty-three serfs turned into dry bones and fell from mid-air.
A strong wind rose in the canyon, sweeping away the flesh and blood they had sprinkled in the air, and a red mist was seen speeding through the mountain gorge and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The scene in front of him made Bai Shanzi more and more convinced that the incident in Dayuewan and what happened in front of him must have been done by evil spirits.
But this evil is so powerful that Bai Shanzi can't even see through what kind of means it used just now, let alone restrain it.
In order to catch the evil as soon as possible, Bai Shanzi had to invite three old friends from the Central Plains.
Zhang Zhenren of Longhu Mountain, Kongyun Dao Chang of Maoshan Mountain, and Yao Xuanzong of Gesoap Mountain all received his letter and rushed to Kunlun Mountain overnight.
I was also surprised when Sun Luyuan said this, I didn't expect that in this matter, the figure of those three mountains could still appear.
But think about it, only they can suppress such a powerful evil.
At that time, Bai Shanzi set the meeting place at the entrance of the northwest mountain gorge, and it was not until the beginning of the seventh month of the lunar calendar that the four met there.
According to the calculation of Zhang Zhenren of Longhu Mountain, the evil cult that caused chaos in the local area should be a corpse into a spirit, and legend has it that in the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were immortals who were feathered in the Kunlun Mountains, and their souls flew into the sky, but a body was left in the world.
From the Sui and Tang dynasties to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Son of Heaven of all dynasties and dynasties could search for this immortal corpse, but they all returned in vain.
At present, this evil beast is very likely to be the corpse of an immortal who has absorbed the essence of the mountain for hundreds of years and cultivated the Yuan Shen on its own.
Something like this, ordinary spells are afraid that it can't be shaken, and it can only be killed with the help of the Nine Heavens True Thunder and Samadhi Flame.
In another day, Tusi would send serfs into the mountain, and the head of Kongyun Dao immediately went to the nearby village, purchased one hundred and sixty-one beams and branches, one thousand one hundred and fifty pieces of yellow paper, and tied out twenty-three pairs of stand-in paper figures overnight, each of which was made of seven beam branches corresponding to the Tiangang star position and fifty pieces of yellow paper soaked in cinnabar water.
The next day, the serfs entered the mountain, Yao Xuanzong stunned them with ecstasy incense, and then Bai Shanzi and the head of the empty cloud road sent the stand-in paper man into the mountain gorge.
In everyone's sight, twenty-three pairs of paper figures rose into the air, and the yellow paper, along with the beams and branches, all turned into scattered sand in an instant.
The wind swept by, and the debris in the gorge was swept away by the wind.
The paper figure has already been arranged, and no matter where it flies, the head of the Sky Cloud Dao can sense the spiritual rhyme on it.
After the wind passed, the head of the Sky Cloud Dao led everyone out of the mountain gorge, followed the breath of Lingyun all the way to the west, and it took two full days and nights to find a hidden cave near Dayue Bay, and Lingyun has never come out since entering the cave.
Seeing the strange Qi field in the cave, everyone did not dare to go deep rashly, so they could only set up a large array outside the cave, cutting off the circulation of the Qi field at the entrance of the cave and the outside world, waiting for the evil to appear.
The Qi field was cut off, the evil spirit could not perform the spell, it was originally by absorbing the flesh and blood of the living to survive, and if it could not perform the spell in the cave, it could not eat, and after half a month, the evil spirit could not stand the hunger and rushed out of the cave.
I saw that this evil was originally an old man drooping, with a childish face and a light posture, but from head to toe, there was an evil spirit.
With the help of the large array arranged outside the cave, the four of them and the evil gods launched a fierce battle for five consecutive nights, and finally attracted ninety-nine true thunders and dispersed the evil primordial gods.
The original god was shattered, but the body of the corpse immortal was intact, Zhang Zhenren was worried that after a hundred years, this body would turn into evil and harm the world, so he could only join forces with everyone to attract samadhi flames and try to burn the corpse.
Unexpectedly, when the flames stirred, he could only burn the corpse fairy's robe and hair, and his skin and flesh were not damaged at all.
When the energy of the four people was exhausted and the flames finally receded, Yao Xuanzong stepped forward to check the corpse, and found that on the left chest of the corpse, there was a small black pot, which grew in the flesh and was entangled by meat willows.
Yao Xuanzong hurriedly took out his hand, pulled out the small bowl with force, turned over the body of the lamp and took a look, and saw that the bottom of the small bowl was engraved with two ancient characters in large seals: refining bones.
Strange to say, as soon as Xiao Zhan was pulled out, the corpse on the ground began to mutate, first the bones of the body were broken into slag in a noise, the skin and flesh were paralyzed, and it became a shriveled sac, after which, the flesh and blood on the corpse also began to fester, and it stinked for a while.
At that time, the small pot that Yao Xuanzong took from the corpse of the immortal was the bone refining vessel that Su Hansheng's lineage had been passed down for three generations.
And the battle of the corpse immortal a hundred years ago also made Bai Shanzi exhaust his lifelong cultivation, and in the spring of the next year, he died in Kunlun Mountain Immortal.
