Chapter Ninety-Eight: Tang Shichang
Situated in the depths of the Tai Qui Mountains, Siu Wai Village is isolated from the rest of the world, and most of the villagers are hunters who make a living from hunting. The village is not large, with more than 30 households, and there are more than 100 people in the whole village.
By midday, it was almost dawn, and the village was eerily silent. Some diligent villagers on weekdays should have gotten up to light a fire at this time, but there is no movement in the village today.
Suddenly, behind a thatched hut, a dark shadow came out. The man was dressed in a black robe, and there was a rustling sound as he walked, which seemed a little oozing in the silence. The man stopped and slowly crouched down, and at his feet lay a dead village woman. The village woman was covered in a thin coat, her eyes were wide, her face was twisted, and she was obviously in a state of extreme panic before she died.
The man held a silver knife in his left hand and a dark red ball in his right hand, which floated in the palm of his hand. He slashed the dead village woman in the neck and immediately drove the ball to stick to the wound. There are words in his mouth, and he doesn't know what evil magic has been cast.
I saw that the thick blood of the deceased gushed out of the wound, and it was instantly absorbed by the dark red ball and disappeared. The corpse slowly dried up, and turned into a dried corpse. It can be seen that not only the blood is sucked out, but most of the body fluids are also sucked away at the same time.
There was already a hint of red light in the sky, the sun was about to rise, and the sky was slowly brightening. I saw that the corpses of Xiaowei Village were all over the field, and the villagers were lying crookedly in all corners of the village, and most of them had become dried corpses. Some domestic animals, cattle, sheep, dogs, etc. also died, and the village became a purgatory on earth.
Only a man in a black robe like a devil was crouching next to the corpse of a child. The man had only a few strands of gray hair, rough skin like tree bark, and a pair of cloudy eyes, which shone fiercely from time to time, which was really terrifying. The dry hands were cruelly ravaging the corpses on the ground, and the corpse of a child was soon sucked into dry corpses in his hands.
This terrifying-looking, dull-looking, dying demon is called Tang Shichang. Tang Shichang stood up and walked to the next corpse with the Thousand Corpse Pill in his arms, he was about to speed up his movements, and hurry up to absorb all the corpses in the village.
Because after death, the blood will slowly clot. The longer it takes to die, the stiffer the corpse becomes, the more difficult it will be to absorb the blood inside the corpse, and the more yin power will be consumed. Tang Shichang began to dispose of these corpses from the head of the village, and he had already reached the end of the village, and only a few of them had not been absorbed. After absorbing these corpses, he had to leave the place quickly, so as not to be discovered by the righteous monks.
Tang Shichang looks like he is in his last years, but he is actually only in his forties, and he is in the prime of life. Becoming this ghost is all due to years of absorbing yin qi and cultivating, and he is an evil cultivator.
Evil cultivation is different from that of righteous path cultivators, who are righteous path cultivators absorb the five elements of spiritual energy to cultivate, and evil cultivators absorb yin qi to cultivate. Yin Qi will cause great harm to the human body, and most of the evil cultivators' bodies will decline before they grow old, and their qi and blood will be poor and riddled with serious diseases. If you don't find a way to treat it in time, you will die soon.
Tang Shichang also knew the disadvantages of absorbing yin qi and cultivating and becoming an evil cultivator. However, he was still attracted by the characteristics of evil cultivators, such as the low threshold for cultivation, the rapid growth of cultivation, and the great power of exercises. Regardless of the great damage to the body caused by the erosion of yin qi, he resolutely became an evil cultivator.
Before Tang Shichang became an evil cultivator, he was also a righteous path cultivator, and the qualifications of the five series of miscellaneous spirit roots were inferior, and he only reached the second level of qi cultivation in his twenties. There were only a few spirit stones on his body, and his cultivation stagnated, and he became a heavenly master of Yu Peiguo.
Yu Peiguo and Gaocang are neighbors, the two countries are very similar, and Yu Peiguo's air is also filled with a faint yin qi, so both countries have the position of Heavenly Master.
Once, Tang Shichang rescued a wealthy businessman surnamed Guan who was invaded by yin qi. In order to repay him, the wealthy businessman gave Tang Shichang a few ancient books and a rag umbrella.
Gu said that these ancient books were handed down by his ancestors, and they said that they were the exercises of immortal cultivators. But no one in their family has been able to read the text on it, and they don't know whether it's true or not. The rag umbrella, his ancestor said it was a magic weapon, so he gave it to Tang Shichang together.
Tang Shichang got these ancient books and took a closer look, and found that these ancient books were really cultivation exercises, but they were just cultivation exercises for evil cultivators. That rag umbrella turned out to be a powerful evil weapon. After getting these things, Tang Shichang set off a shocking wave in his heart.
These ancient books are a complete set of evil cultivation exercises, which can be cultivated from the Qi training period to the Jindan period, and the lowest is also a local grade exercise, called "Blood Yuan Gong".
In the next month, Tang Shichang couldn't sleep well, and his heart struggled violently. He actually had the idea of cultivating the "Blood Yuan Gong", but intellectually warned him not to mess around.
He was a righteous monk, and he knew that if he became an evil cultivator, he would become a street rat that everyone shouted at and beat, and he could only hide in Tibet, and he also knew that cultivating Yin Qi would cause great harm to his body.
But when he thought of the description of "Blood Yuan Gong", he was itching. According to the description of the exercises, the "Blood Yuan Gong" does not have any requirements for the qualifications of the cultivator, as long as he has a spiritual root, he can cultivate. Moreover, even if he is a five-series waste spirit root, with extremely poor qualifications, he can improve like a heavenly spirit root when he cultivates like a flying one. This "Blood Yuan Gong" couldn't be more suitable for a cultivator with extremely poor qualifications like him.
In addition to the three volumes of "Blood Yuan Gong" in these ancient books, there is also a volume of the experience of the predecessors in cultivating the Blood Yuan Gong, which explains in detail the mysteries of the Blood Yuan Gong and mentions various problems that should be paid attention to in the cultivation of the Blood Yuan Gong.
This predecessor surnamed Guan, he is also a five-line waste spirit root, and he has the same qualifications as Tang Shichang. After he cultivated the Blood Yuan Gong, it only took him thirty years to successfully build a foundation and become a foundation building monk. It can be seen that the Blood Yuan Gong determines the qualifications of cultivators, and there are no requirements.
In the end, Tang Shichang couldn't resist the temptation of Blood Yuan Gong and began to practice this evil cultivation method. He knew that with his sparse qualifications, cultivating the righteous path exercises was doomed to be hopeless in this life. He was unwilling to turn into a handful of loess after a hundred years.
Since God let him get the Blood Yuan Gong, he is taking pity on him and giving him a chance to pursue immortality. Tang Shichang decided to seize this opportunity, no matter what the price was.
Tang Shichang resigned from the position of Heavenly Master and devoted himself to cultivating Blood Yuan Gong. It only took twenty years for Tang Shichang's cultivation to reach the ninth level of qi training. This made him even more sure that his original choice was correct, if he hadn't cultivated the Blood Yuan Gong, after all these years, he would still be a casual cultivator with low cultivation and inaction.
Although he didn't look like a human or a ghost at this time, he was very scary and extremely weak, but he didn't regret it. He has gained great strength, and he is only one step away from breaking through to the foundation building period, and he believes that he will succeed.
It only took twenty years to reach the ninth level of Qi cultivation, which shows that the evil cultivation method has indeed made great progress in cultivation. Compared with the righteous path exercises, it does have its own unique way.
It is no wonder that knowing that cultivating evil cultivation exercises will cause great harm to the body. There are still many cultivators with inferior qualifications who flock to it, and moths become evil cultivators.
Righteous monks have always been extremely vigilant against evil cultivators, and all major sects have sent disciples to kill them all the time, but they can't kill them cleanly, and evil cultivators have not been extinct for thousands of years, which is the reason.
