Chapter 22: The Corpse Servant
The Ten Thousand Corpses Sect's sphere of influence is a full 100,000 li, and it is one of the giants of the Broken Soul Mountain Range.
At this time, it is within the sphere of influence, but not in the depths, but far away. There is a huge plain, as far as the eye can see, as if there is no boundary.
On this vast plain, there is an incomparably long fissure in the earth. From the air, it looked like a giant mouth that opened slightly, and there was no light inside. [Search for the latest updates]
This is the Corpse Bone Abyss, which is one of the nine dangerous places in the Broken Soul Mountain Range, and the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect, as one of the three giants of the Broken Soul Mountain Range, has been occupied by two of the nine dangerous places. Legend has it that this great plain was originally a mountain stack, but in ancient times, the gods and demons fought and smashed the mountains here into pieces.
He even went underground, using the depths of the ground as a battlefield, and finally created a place like the Bone Grove. If it was an ordinary dangerous place, the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect would not have gone to great lengths to issue an inspection mission and send disciples to inspect here.
Although this bone abyss is extremely dangerous, it contains many treasures that are beneficial to the Demon Dao monks. In particular, this bone abyss has a period of time every hundred years, and for some unknown reason, countless bones will erupt from the depths of the earth to the surface.
At this time, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect would gather here to compete for the good things that gushed out of the bone abyss. The Ten Thousand Corpses Sect is a demonic path, and the cultivation is a demonic skill, and the resources needed will not be anything decent. Poisons and foreign bodies are the most common.
Every time the corpse bone abyss erupted, not only would there be countless white bone bones coming out of the ground, but there would also be some cultivation resources that were incomparably precious to the disciples of the White Bone Sect.
But perhaps the more years go by, the fewer good things there are. In the past, the eruption of the corpse bone abyss would attract inner disciples and some elders. But over the centuries, the eruptions of the bones have become more frequent, but the good things have become less and less. Those elders gradually lost interest, and now even the inner disciples were reluctant to appear.
But even so, every time the bone abyss erupts, it will also attract almost all the outer disciples and some inner disciples who come to try their luck.
However, the eruption time of this corpse bone abyss is not fixed, there is no regularity, and even the powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Corpse Sect cannot predict when the corpse bone abyss will erupt.
As soon as the patrol task is released, there will still be many outer disciples with high self-sustaining strength who will follow. Maybe in the middle of the one-year inspection period, it happened to be the time when the bone abyss erupted.
"Huh"
The sound of the air being torn apart by the frenzied force resounded in the sky above the bone abyss, and a pitch-black sword light projected from the distant sky at a terrifying speed. After dozens of breaths, the sword light gradually became clear, and it turned out to be a giant sword like a huge door panel. The giant sword was about to shoot over, but it didn't mean to stay in the air, it circled for a while, and then turned into pitch-black sword light and shot into the dark "crack" on the earth.
said it was a crack, but when I got closer, I found that this crack was hundreds of feet wide. There was nothing to be seen below except for the darkness, like the mouth of an incomparably gigantic beast.
The sword light shot into it, and it went dozens of feet deep at once, but there was still nothing to be seen, only darkness and nothingness. But after a while, I don't know what I passed, and suddenly there was some light in front of me.
The sword light shot out, and those lights gradually became clear, and they actually came from a huge palace. The palace was so huge that it didn't give way to the Great Hall of the Outer Gate of the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect. Moreover, this palace was actually built on the abyss wall, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Wu Qi would never have believed that the scene in front of him would be real.
If there is such a big deal to build a palace here, there will definitely be no other sect other than the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect. The sword light shot into the palace also proved this.
The sword light was as black as ink into the palace-like building, and in front of the main hall, there was a square. The sword light descended from the sky and turned into a giant sword, hanging in the air. Seven or eight people fell from above, and at this time there were already two people waiting on the side, and when they saw that the sword light stopped, they all walked over.
Wu Qi and the others landed first, but the sturdy old man and Deacon Ouyang received his iron sword spirit weapon before landing on the ground of the square. The moment he landed, a smile bloomed on his face, and he strode towards the two people who came over.
"Hahaha Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I'm fine. ”
The three of them seemed to know each other, laughed and came together, chatting warmly. After a while, one of them remembered Wu Qi and these people.
Pointing at Wu Qi and the seven people, he asked Deacon Ouyang, "This is this year's patrol disciple, how about this deacon cultivate?"
Before he finished speaking, an incomparably heavy coercion suddenly fell from the sky, directly pressing on Wu Qi and the other seven people. The others were fine, but their faces turned pale in an instant. Wu Qi is miserable, he is only a fourth-level cultivator in the Qi cultivation period, how can he resist the coercion of a foundation building monk.
Before he could react, his body suddenly sank, as if pressed against a high mountain. With his knees bent, he seemed to be about to be forced to his knees. His eyes suddenly widened, and unwilling thoughts rolled up like stormy waves, and at that moment, he transferred the heavy pressure on his body to the gourd in his chest.
Each of the bloodthirsty corpse insects is now a low-level poison, and they are naturally strong insects, so there is no abnormality in the pressure of being under this pressure. However, Wu Qi suddenly woke up, how could he, a fourth-level monk in the Qi cultivation period, resist the coercion of a foundation-building monk, he did not kneel down but aroused suspicion.
Fortunately, at this time, the owner of that coercion seemed to notice Wu Qi's strangeness, and with a light sigh, the coercion immediately receded like a tide. Wu Qi and the others were also relieved, and the heavy pressure disappeared without a trace.
"Poof"
didn't kneel down, but Wu Qi forced out a large mouthful of blood from his body, and spurted it out fiercely the moment the coercion disappeared. This change made everyone's eyes fall on Wu Qi, including the two deacons.
"Fourth layer of Qi cultivation period, Senior Brother Ouyang, what's going on?"
A wry smile appeared on Wu Qi's face, and he reached out and slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"It turned out to be a handyman, no wonder. You few, no matter what you have to rely on at the outer gate. When you get here, as long as you are in this black bone hall, you are not allowed to fight with the same door. ”
After listening to Deacon Ouyang's explanation, the other two deacons showed a sudden look and glanced at Wu Qi lightly. Originally, the outer disciples did not enter the eyes of these deacons who had foundation building and cultivation, but after knowing that Wu Qi was still a miscellaneous servant at this time, he did not have the slightest meaning.
But he seemed to guess something, and said a few more words.
"Now there are corpses to take you to rest, and tomorrow you will begin your patrol, and in a year someone will come and take you away. Let's go down!"
One of the two deacons waved his hand, and suddenly a man appeared in front of each of them. Although they are human beings, they are all "dead people". Dressed in the clothes of a servant, his face is stiff, but he moves freely. After the deacon gave the order, he led Wu Qi and the other seven people to the palace.
A corpse servant is a puppet made from a living person. It can't speak, it's at the mercy, and it doesn't rot for thousands of years. The method of refining corpse servants is very vicious, which is unique to the Ten Thousand Corpse Sect, and it takes a lot of energy for the foundation building cultivators to have the ability to refine it.
However, even if he is a foundation building monk, he can only refine ordinary corpse servants, and can only do some work such as serving tea and water, guiding the way and moving things.
If you want to refine those corpse servants who can fight, it is not something that the foundation building monks can afford. Rao is like this, in the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect, only a small number of foundation building monks have refined corpse servants. Gain's method of refining corpse servants is too vicious, and not all foundation building monks will do it.
However, almost all the disciples of the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect knew that the monks who dared to refine the corpse servants must not be good characters.
After seeing these corpse servants appear, Wu Qi and the other seven outer disciples all frowned, obviously recognizing what kind of thing this corpse servant was. Immediately, the eyes of the crowd towards the deacon changed.
The corpse servant who led Wu Qi was a middle-aged man, and his face was born with majesty. If it weren't for the clothes of a servant, Wu Qi would have thought that this middle-aged man was a big official or a general.
The corpse servant walked in front of him, without the slightest sense of stagnation, completely like a normal person. Except that he can't speak, he is completely the same as a normal person. This ingenious method made Wu Qi marvel in his heart.
Counting this chapter, there are four more chapters today. I still owe a chapter, and I'll pay it back tomorrow. Until now, my eyes hurt, and I finally roared. Ask for a ticket!
