Chapter 191: Ancestor?
"Childe, why don't we go?"
Looking at the road in front of him that was completely paved with white bones, Jiao Shan was a little weak-hearted. Even his big nerves felt panicked when he saw so many white bones.
"Shut up. ”
Although the white bones are a little infiltrating, they have not yet reached the point where Xiao Qingfeng is afraid. Moreover, at this time they also did not have a choice. What he was thinking now was, where these bones came from, and why did the Corpse King see them? Is this good or bad?
Lu Qingfan, who had been silent on the side, suddenly chuckled and said, "You're really not qualified as an entourage. If it had been me, I would have thrown him away. ”
"Who do you say is not qualified, why am I not qualified?" Xiao Qingfeng didn't speak, and Jiao Shan himself couldn't help but say angrily.
"That's you. I've never seen such an idiot retinue as yours. ”
Lu Qingfan was not afraid of Jiao Shan at all, and laughed. This laughing look is also inconsistent with the first time we met. But Xiao Qingfeng can understand that even he himself wants to use words to eliminate the fear at this time.
"Tell me again, believe it or not, I'll beat you. I can tell you, I'm not even afraid of ghosts now. Regardless of whether the other party could see it or not, Jiao Shan waved his fist in protest.
"If it were your son-in-law, I might still be afraid of one or two, but it's up to you? hehe!"
There was obvious disdain in Lu Qingfan's tone, which could be heard by everyone. In fact, he did look down on Jiao Shan. Jiao Shan has a divine power, if he practices martial arts, it may be promising. But now, with a body of divine power and no cultivation, he can't enter Lu Qingfan's eyes at all.
It was also in the process of Lu Qingfan and Jiao Shan arguing that Xiao Qingfeng and the others finally reached the bottom of the passage. Here, there is a stone chamber. The stone chamber is not large, only about three zhang in circumference, and there is only one uncovered sarcophagus in the stone chamber in addition to the white bones.
This uncovered sarcophagus is very ordinary at first glance, as if it is no different from an ordinary sarcophagus. But if you look closely, you will find that the sarcophagus is full of dense runes.
Glancing at each other, Xiao Qingfeng and Lu Qingfan nodded slightly.
"Senior Corpse King, what should we do now?"
Staring at the sarcophagus, although there was a guess in his heart, Xiao Qingfeng did not make a clever revelation.
All in all, he was in a very nervous mood now, there was no sense of security in his whole body, and even the hand in his sleeve was still tightly pinching the earth escape charm.
"This king is here!"
Sure enough, as Xiao Qingfeng expected, a person suddenly sat up in the uncovered sarcophagus. The image of this person was completely beyond Xiao Qingfeng's expectations.
In Xiao Qingfeng's imagination, the Corpse King, who must be a zombie with extremely heavy yin and evil energy, should be forty or fifty years old, tall and burly, as long as he stands there, he can make people feel uncomfortable.
However, the person in front of him, who claimed to be the corpse king, was completely the image of the elders of the sect. He has a long beard and white hair, a long breath, a face like a baby, and a Tai Chi robe. If he hadn't known that he was the Corpse King, Xiao Qingfeng would definitely think that he was an elder of that sect.
All in all, no matter how you think about it, you can't overlap the image of him with the corpse king. Of course, the only thing that is the same is that hoarse voice.
"Senior, is this really you?" couldn't help but swallow his saliva, Xiao Qingfeng asked again with confirmation. Regardless of what he's fuss about, it's really incredible.
"What? not like?" The man just sat in the sarcophagus and didn't move, looking at Xiao Qingfeng with a smile on his face.
That kind of look is like the eyes of elders looking at juniors. That's right, Xiao Qingfeng felt that this kind of look was as if the eyes of the ancestor of the world and the ancestor of the non-search were the same as those of the non-seeking patriarch. It's a weird feeling.
"It's a bit different from what I imagined!"
After saying this, Xiao Qingfeng felt that something was wrong. It was definitely not what he wanted to say, but it really came out of his mouth.
To be precise, he may have thought so in his heart. But it is absolutely impossible to say this with his temperament. What a ghost, how can this be?
Now, Xiao Qingfeng understands where Lu Qingfan's fear comes from. In the face of such strange methods, they have no power to react at all. The most important thing is that after finishing speaking, you will find out that something is wrong, and you didn't realize it before, this kind of cultivation is completely crushing.
"Hehe!" Looking at Xiao Qingfeng's shocked expression, the Corpse King just smiled lightly.
Reluctantly reining in his thoughts, Xiao Qing asked with a straight face: "Senior, I don't know what is the so-called thing about coming to us?"
The Corpse King didn't answer immediately, first glanced at Lu Qingfan and Jiao Shan, and then stared at Xiao Qingfeng carefully for a moment before saying, "Before talking about this, this king will tell you a story first." ”
A little confused, Xiao Qingfeng and the three of them glanced at each other, did not speak, and quietly waited for the story from the mouth of the corpse king.
"This story, this king can no longer remember whether it was more than 10,000 years ago or more than 20,000 years ago. The Corpse King spoke slowly, "Let's just think it's the past. ”
"Once upon a time, there was a true disciple of a great sect, his talent was not high in front of many senior brothers, but he was the most diligent disciple, and he believed that he would definitely be able to become a powerful monk with his own efforts. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Qingfeng and them were not abnormal, after all, there are many such people now.
Some people are not talented and have weak understanding, so they can only rely on diligence and hard work. If there are some opportunities, it may not be possible to break out later. Of course, this kind of person is also a very small minority, and many more monks die with regret.
On the path of cultivation, the most important thing is your own qualifications and luck. Diligence and hard work are important, but that's not the most important thing.
The Corpse King did not stop because of Xiao Qingfeng's thoughts, and his hoarse voice continued to sound: "Originally, he wanted to cultivate in the sect, even if he didn't become a powerful monk in the end, he had no regrets. It's just that the sect has regulations, and when the cultivation reaches a certain point, you need to travel out of the mountains. ”
Speaking of this, the Corpse King paused and sighed with some emotion: "And it was this trip that changed his life." By chance, he got a treasure, a treasure that could speed up his cultivation. Let's call him a blood gourd. ”
Xiao Qingfeng and the others still didn't speak, but they had already heard some signs. Presumably, what happened after that must have something to do with the so-called blood gourd.
Unlike Lu Qingfan and Jiao Shan, when he heard the blood gourd, Xiao Qingfeng suddenly felt an abnormality in his heart. Faintly, he had some speculations in his heart. But in an instant it was denied, it couldn't be, it couldn't be that thing. That thing is still in the sect.
Ignoring Xiao Qingfeng's thoughts, the Corpse King continued: "This blood gourd is a rare treasure, as long as you place him in a place where the spiritual energy is rich, you can condense it into real spiritual water on its own. These spiritual waters are not as violent as they imagined, nor are they as difficult to control as they imagined, and after drinking them, they can be practiced several times faster than ordinary cultivation, and there are no side effects. ”
"There is still such a treasure?"
As if forgetting his fear, Lu Qingfan was shocked. Almost everyone knows that there is a reward for what you give. It is almost impossible for a treasure like this to exist. But the Corpse King's words were no joke at all.
As a true disciple of the Martial Dao Sect, Lu Qingfan's insight was naturally extraordinary, but he had never heard of such a thing. If this is big enough, how can it not be recorded in the slightest?
A disciple of a big sect, he can not finish the recipes and spells in the sect, but he can't finish reading the sect's classics. Sect classics are also a kind of sect heritage.
The Corpse King chuckled lightly and continued, "This kind of treasure naturally does not exist. But then again, in addition to the effects just mentioned, the biggest effect of spiritual water is to smooth the bottleneck. In other words, as long as he keeps drinking spiritual water, he has no so-called bottleneck. ”
"Shhh
Hearing this, Lu Qingfan couldn't help but hiss. He is a martial artist, not an authentic Qi Refiner, but they also have bottlenecks. Even, their bottlenecks are even stronger. Only they really know the strength of the bottleneck.
Although there are bottlenecks for cultivators, they may be able to break through once they have an epiphany. But warriors are different, and they simply can't have an epiphany. Every step they take is a real and hard work.
Glancing at Lu Qingfan, the Corpse King paused before continuing: "In view of the powerful effect of the treasure, after some struggle, he did not inform the sect of it, but used it for his own cultivation. ”
"And then?" Touching the back of his head, Jiao Shan asked.
Sitting in the sarcophagus, the corpse king's face showed a look of memory, and he said: "Then, he broke through to the Yuan Shen realm very smoothly, and the journey was unimpeded. However, when he cultivated to reach the realm of the primordial gods, he finally discovered the drawbacks of the blood gourd and spiritual water. ”
"What are the drawbacks?" Xiao Qingfeng said with a frown.
The Corpse King explained: "Blood gourd, just from a blood word, you know that he is not an ordinary thing, this thing needs blood sacrifice. And the spiritual water is actually considered to be a blood sacrifice, so there are endless troubles. After cultivating to the Yuan Shen Realm, he always felt that something was wrong with him. ”
"And then?" Xiao Qingfeng's face became more and more solemn.
The Corpse King did not answer immediately, but his face sank and he began to fall silent. As soon as he was silent, the evil aura in his body emanated. Feeling the incomparably powerful momentum, Xiao Qingfeng and Lu Qingfan suddenly felt bad. Jiaoshan, the second goods, has not yet reacted.
Fortunately, things didn't come to the scene they were worried about, and after the momentum was released, the corpse king quickly took it back.
The hoarse voice sounded again: "Then, finally, something happened. Once again, when he went out to hunt for treasure, he lost control and fell into the devil. After entering the demon, his strength increased greatly, and he directly killed his companions at that time. ”
After that, he went west with a sword, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of living beings along the way to sacrifice blood to the blood gourd. ”
Hundreds of thousands of living beings?
Xiao Qingfeng and Lu Qingfan were shocked when they heard this number. There has always been a saying about karma in the spiritual world, but ordinary monks don't know what karma is, how can they check karma?
As disciples of the Great Sect, Xiao Qingfeng knew a little more than ordinary monks. Although they don't know what karma is and what the harm is, they know that killing innocents indiscriminately will increase karma. And people with too much karma will even thunder and thunder in the sky.
"Then what happened to him in the end?" Lu Qingfan asked.
Sighing, the Corpse King said, "Finally, he came to his senses by chance. But the demon obstacle has been born, and the future troubles have not been eliminated, so he tied his hands and feet and asked the elders of the sect to seal it up. And the treasure blood gourd also remained in the sect. ”
At that time, he was only in the realm of primordial consummation, and he couldn't stand the passage of time, and after more than a thousand years, he passed away because his life span had arrived. And after his death, a trace of his spirit was not extinguished, and his body was not rotten, and thousands of years later caused a corpse mutiny. So, he came back to life in another form. But it's a pity that he was sealed, and he still can't get out after all. ”
"That great sect disciple is the senior, you?"
Lu Qingfan is not stupid, so he can naturally hear what the corpse king is saying in and out of his words. If it's not about himself, who has the time to tell stories to listen.
Glancing at Xiao Qingfeng, the Corpse King nodded: "Say it's me, it's me, it's not me, it's not me." I am not him, he is not me, and I am him, and he is me. ”
Although these words are more tongue-twisting, Xiao Qingfeng and Lu Qingfan both understand. The corpse king in front of him is the corpse of the person back then. Therefore, the corpse king in front of him can be said to be the person back then. But it can also be said that it is not.
Strictly speaking, the corpse king in front of him is not the soul of the year, because the soul of the year has already returned to the underworld. However, he has a deep relationship with the soul of the year, and it can be said that he is another kind of doppelganger.
"Senior, which sect is that person's disciple?"
Lu Qingfan continued to ask curiously, and there was no fear on his face, as if he was attracted by a story about the Corpse King.
"You can ask him. The Corpse King pointed at Xiao Qing and said.
With a slight movement of his fingers, Xiao Qingfeng sighed and said, "In my Yuanyang Sect, there is a treasure called the Blood Jade Gourd. It is rumored that this treasure is very strange and can make people practice quickly, but it is very easy to fall into demons. Now, it can be regarded as one of the treasures of the Earthquake Sect of this sect. ”
Without waiting for them to continue to ask, Xiao Qingfeng took the initiative to narrate: "That person is indeed my predecessor of the Yuanyang Sect. The sect classics do not record his Taoist name, but they are all called by killing. ”
With a sigh, Xiao Qingfeng continued: "The Killing Ancestor was indeed sealed by the Earth Immortal Venerable at that time, but the time was too long, and after the Venerable Immortal died, no one knew the place where the Killing Ancestor was sealed. ”
"In this way, the predecessor of the Corpse King is still the predecessor of the Yuanyang Sect?" Lu Qingfan showed a hint of joy on his face.
The Corpse King didn't answer, and turned his head to look at Xiao Qingfeng. Xiao Qingfeng didn't answer, and also turned his head to look at the corpse king. Frankly speaking, the corpse king in front of him is not the killing of the year, but he also has some origins.
And now, Xiao Qingfeng also understands a little. The reason why the Corpse King brought them here was because he wanted to get out.
Let's not talk about whether the words of the corpse king are true, let's just say that even if they are true, this kind of major event is not something that Xiao Qingfeng can lead. This point, the corpse king should be very clear, so what is his purpose?
Let yourself pass the message out and ask Venerable Chaoyang to come and unseal him?(To be continued.) )
