Chapter 14: The Corpse
I saw that this person was wearing a tattered gray clothes that could not be distinguished, although his body was no different from ordinary people, but the whole face was extremely distorted, very hideous, his eyes were scarlet as blood, and there was a pair of fangs in his mouth, with his roar, the opening of his mouth had exceeded the limit of human beings, and the whole person also exuded a strong sense of forest, terrifying, and it looked no different from the legendary ghost!
"My mother, hey......"
One of the disciples was so frightened that his eyes almost fell out, and his body twitched violently uncontrollably.
This is indeed a terrible ghost, ghostly, terrifying appearance makes all those who see him for the first time can't help but chuckle in their hearts.
Although everyone is a cultivator and has been cultivating for many years, they have only heard of such a thing as a ghost, and if they really encounter it, this is the first time, and they don't know how to face it all of a sudden.
Everyone was frightened in their hearts, but it was impossible to wait for death, just wait for the powerful ghost to approach everyone less than five zhang, and I don't know who took the lead, slashed a sword light at it, and then everyone raised their swords and swung their swords.
For a while, nearly a hundred sword qi suddenly attacked, intertwined into a dense sword net, and enveloped the powerful ghost in an instant, and then saw that the powerful ghost that made their hearts tremble, as if they had no power to resist, was instantly split into countless broken corpses, and even a roar had not had time to be issued. This can't blame him, maybe he has good strength, but with so many masters shooting together, he can only admit it.
Killing this terrible ghost, everyone kept moving, Chu Hong scolded loudly: "How can such a thing come out of nowhere in the Treasure Pavilion!
In this regard, everyone is also very puzzled.
At this moment, a sentence floated from behind everyone: "I think this is very likely to be a corpse ghost, and it is also a ghost, but I didn't expect this thing to let us meet, or in this treasure pavilion." ”
"Corpse ghosts?"
Chu Hong muttered, then turned his head to look at the perishing water in the void behind him, and said, "Has Senior Brother ever seen such a thing?"
Everyone pricked up their ears, and the perishable water was struggling to deal with the waves of flowers, and they seemed a little distracted, but they still encouraged the words to reach everyone's ears: "I haven't seen anything like this, but I guess it's a corpse ghost, but I once accidentally turned over an ancient book." ”
"You may not believe it, in this ancient book, it is vaguely mentioned that many years ago, the ancestor of the crane dragon caught a large number of corpses from nowhere and brought them back to Yanshan, what is the specific use of real people doing this, there is no record in the ancient books, but it is mentioned that these corpse ghosts captured by real people have not been disposed of, and have been placed in a place that ordinary people can't approach, but where they are placed, no one knows. ”
"No wonder no one knows the whereabouts of these corpse ghosts, it turns out that they were all sent into this treasure pavilion by the ancestor, and that powerful ghost is obviously one of the many corpse ghosts captured by the ancestor. A disciple said suddenly.
Yi Shui said: "I think this matter, the head and the elders should be clear, but due to the strict laws formulated by the patriarch, it is impossible to disclose it to me and others." ”
"Legend has it that after a person dies, the corpse is constantly eroded by yin qi and resentment for a long time, and there will be a certain probability of formation. ”
"After becoming a corpse ghost, all the memories of life will disappear from their minds, and each corpse ghost will have its own independent consciousness, each of them is extremely evil, and they only live for killing all their lives!"
"However, there are always exceptions to everything, not all corpse ghosts will lose their memories forever, such as some powerful people, although their bodies are eroded by a large amount of yin qi and resentment after death to become corpse ghosts, but with the passage of time, the memories of the past may slowly recover. At the same time, there are some corpse ghosts, although their cultivation was mediocre before their death, but if they encounter some special opportunities, they also have the possibility of recovering their memories!"
"It's just that even if you recover your memory, you can't change the ironclad fact of becoming a corpse ghost, and the more advanced a person is, once he recovers his memory as a corpse ghost, there are only two situations. The first is to regain control of the body, and firmly suppress the evil thoughts and killing thoughts unique to the corpse ghost, so as to be harmless to the world. The second is with the return of memory, but he still chooses to be dominated by the evil thoughts on his body, and he is addicted to killing, which is a disaster for the common people!"
"In a way, recovering the memories of life as a corpse ghost is almost equivalent to being reborn, but it is very costly to reappear in the world in this way, especially those who are not willing to be dominated by evil thoughts, but suppress them with strong strength, live in a bitter struggle with their own evil thoughts every day, and suffer endless pain, and the longevity obtained in this way will be very limited. ”
On the other hand, those strong people who actively choose to let evil thoughts dominate themselves and want to stay in the world for a long time in this way will not only not have to go through all the pain that the former endured, but will also have an endless lifespan. Of course, it's just that no matter which one they are, their strength will not improve in the slightest, after all, they are dead, even if they become corpse ghosts, their cultivation can only remain in the same state as before they died. ”
The words of the perishing water continued to ring in everyone's ears, and soon everyone knew quite a bit about the corpse ghost, and before that, they had no idea that there was such a thing as a corpse ghost in this world.
In fact, it's no wonder that everyone doesn't know anything about it, it's just that the Longyuan Continent has been generally peaceful over the years, and corpse ghosts can basically only appear in troubled times.
In fact, corpse ghosts do not spawn for no reason, unless after death, the body happens to be in a place with deep resentment, and after a long time, it may become a corpse ghost.
But this situation is generally very rare, after all, who will be in such a place after death?
And it is even more unlikely that anyone will take the initiative to find such a terrifying place and then end their own life.
After all, the probability of becoming a corpse ghost is very low, and if you live well, who would be stupid to do such a thing.
The reason why most of them appear in troubled times is mainly because many corpse ghosts are not naturally formed, but someone is deliberately creating and captive corpse ghosts, and has plunged the world into a war because of this.
In the distant past, there were many strange people in the Longyuan Continent, and they were proficient in this way and never tired of it.
They traveled all over the world and collected a large number of corpses of powerful people through various disgraceful means, including stealing and excavating the tombs of strong men, and even assassinating the powerful in the world. Then they uniformly transported these corpses to a terrible place full of resentment prepared in advance, and some of them even planted an evil array there, which can greatly increase the speed of resentment eroding the flesh, so that the corpses of these strong people can become corpse ghosts as soon as possible. Not only that, but many of these people even have a way to increase the success rate of turning a corpse into a corpse ghost several times over.
But all those who are proficient in this way are extremely evil, so that the world hates them, not to mention stealing other people's corpses, there are mourning morals, through their hands, or countless generations of efforts to cultivate the corpse ghosts, has become a killing tool in their hands, but also in the long history of Long Yuan, these corpses evolved from the corpses of the strong one by one, many times to Long Yuan unimaginable disasters.
Although they are not ashamed, they are all heretical paths, but the talent in this path is really good, they have the method to control the corpse ghosts, when countless powerful corpse ghosts, one by one with the cultivation of life, gathered together, listen to the sent, is a terrifying force that makes the world tremble!
Fortunately, they were finally defeated by the united resistance forces on the mainland, and to this day, these alien monks have almost been driven out, even if some or even their descendants still survive, they will try their best not to be born, otherwise once exposed, what awaits them will be an extremely tragic end.
And the monks who wanted to follow this path, because they didn't want to end up in the world in the future, but had nowhere to stay, all finally broke off this idea.
It can be said that in those days, they were the objects of collective hatred and even eagerness to eradicate by the monks all over the world.
It's just that for these alien cultivators, there are also certain risks in the process of creating and controlling corpse ghosts.
The corpses of countless strong people have been deliberately made into corpse ghosts, although they can become a terrifying force that makes the world tremble, driven by them, but behind the seemingly scenery, there is actually a huge danger. Because I don't know when there will be a corpse ghost, suddenly recovering the memories of my life, the super powerful corpse ghost can not only get rid of their control, but even be able to counterattack it, giving the most painful blow.
There have been many such cases in the past, some amazing world-class powerhouses, because these alien cultivators, turned into corpse ghosts thousands of years after death, but in the process of these alien cultivators leading the corpse demon army to bring disaster to the world, they suddenly regained their memories.
At that time, they either felt deep guilt and self-blame for the great harm they had caused to the world, or because their bodies were desecrated even after death, and they were made into such a terrifying existence, and their hearts were full of anger, and then they would angrily point the finger at those alien monks who had caused all this, and mercilessly wipe out these people!
It can be said that in the past history, those heterogeneous monks have fallen short and lost all the games on several occasions, but it is thanks to these corpse ghosts that have been transformed by their hands, which can be regarded as self-inflicted.
It's just that the appearance of a large number of corpse ghosts, especially the more terrifying and unpredictable the cultivation is, the greater the pain brought to the world, which also makes some corpse ghosts after waking up from memory, because they can't tolerate the heinous sins they have committed, and choose to die to apologize, and truly return to the nine shadows and get liberation.
And at that time, this could be regarded as a great helplessness and sadness, which was regrettable.
Later, these alien cultivators finally learned their lesson and stopped looking for the corpses of those overly powerful powerhouses.
But this is useless, this special cultivator has gone, and has finally come to an end.
And those strong people who became corpse ghosts because of these alien cultivators, and then regained their memories, but were willing to be dominated by evil to harm their own bodies in the world, were finally killed one by one by the joint efforts of all beings because they aroused people's huge resentment.
