Chapter 8: The Corpse Cave

Step by step, he walked down the stone steps. The cold air emitted from the corpse cave made Zhao Yan feel cold in his bones, this was a kind of cold, not the chill of midwinter. It is a kind of cold that can be experienced even in thick clothes. Zhao Yan exercised the aura of the dantian, so that it wrapped around the surface of the body, and immediately the chill dissipated most of it, although Zhao Yan could still clearly feel the cold of the corpse cave, but it was much better than when he just entered. At this time, Zhao Yan understood why he could only go to the corpse cave to select dead corpses and refine them into his magic weapon only when he was in the middle of Qi training. It is impossible for the aura contained in a cultivator's body in the early stage of qi cultivation to cover the whole body to resist the cold as in the middle stage of qi training.

Although the cold aura of the corpse cave was very heavy, the stone steps leading to the corpse cave showed no signs of freezing, which made Zhao Yanzi surprised. After walking down for a long time, Zhao Yan saw the corpse cave underground, this is completely a corpse cave, in front of him is a huge space, there is a coffin in the groove of the rock wall around it, as for the things inside the coffin, Zhao Yan did not see it, with curiosity Zhao Yan continued to look around the corpse cave, Zhao Yan found that there is a door in this layer of corpse cave, presumably the road leading to the lower corpse cave.

Ishihara is a disciple who guards the corpse cave, and his own cultivation has reached the peak of qi training, and this corpse cave guarding is also one of the tasks of the sect, mainly to teach the sect disciples who have reached the middle stage of qi training and come to the corpse cave to select the yin corpse. Ishihara saw a sect disciple standing on the stone steps of the corpse cave and looked around with curiosity, knowing that this was a disciple who had just come to the corpse cave, so he walked quickly to Zhao Yan and asked, "Senior brother is the first time to the corpse cave, right?"

Zhao Yan only found someone standing in front of him at this time, and hurriedly said, "Exactly." I have already cultivated to the middle stage of Qi cultivation, so I have come here to select a dead corpse to practice the exercises of the sect. ”

"Then come with me. After the words fell, Ishihara turned around and walked towards the stone wall on the side, Zhao Yan followed closely behind.

Arriving at the stone wall, Ishihara turned around and said, "Senior brother, just choose a dead corpse, senior brother, I will teach you the method of guarding the corpse." Hearing this, Zhao Yan replied and thanked: "Then thank you brother." ”

Zhao Yan approached the stone wall next to him and looked at the dead body in the coffin on the stone wall, and in the coffin that Zhao Yan looked at lay a male corpse, his face was purple, and his face was handsome. Zhao Yan didn't look much and looked at another coffin, there was a woman lying in this coffin, her face was ruddy, and her appearance made Zhao Yan feel amazing, the appearance of this female corpse was even more beautiful than the most beautiful senior sister Liu Mei in Zhao Yan's cognition, and for some reason Zhao Yan could smell the fragrance when standing next to this female corpse, and the cold air of the corpse cave made Zhao Yan even more refreshing.

Ishihara saw that Zhao Yan's gaze was on the first male corpse for only a moment and then looked at the female corpse, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, secretly saying in his heart that Zhao Yan had better not choose this dead corpse.

Zhao Yan looked at the female corpse again for a moment, then turned to Ishihara and said, "Senior brother, I will choose this." Zhao Yan pointed to the female corpse in the coffin beside him. As for why Zhao Yan chose this female corpse, in addition to the fact that this female corpse was very eye-catching, he also felt that his spirit was exceptionally good from the fragrance emanating from this female corpse, and of course it would be more beneficial to cultivation, so he did not hesitate to choose.

Ishihara seemed to have known that Zhao Yan would make such a choice, and said, "Senior brother, are you sure?" Zhao Yan replied, "Sure, senior brother, why do you ask that?"

Ishihara smiled bitterly: "This female corpse was prepared by Elder Li when he selected the corpse for his grandson's promotion to the middle stage of Qi training, are you still sure now?"

Zhao Yan said suspiciously: "Senior brother, I have already chosen anyway." I don't think the elders of the hall will bother with me, a little disciple. Zhao Yan thought shamelessly in his heart, what Elder Li, but since it was prepared for his grandson, this female corpse must have a different reaction, so it would be strange if he didn't take advantage of it.

Ishihara looked at Zhao Yan's small eyes, and said helplessly: "Okay, this piece of paper is the trick of the imperial corpse, you can take it back and learn it." Zhao Yan took the paper and thanked him a few times, put away the female corpse and returned the same way.

On the way home, Zhao Yanxin was full of flowers, and he picked up a big bargain today. When he arrived at the wooden house and closed the wooden door, Zhao Yan immediately took out the female corpse in the storage bag and put it opposite him. The real reason why Zhao Yan chose this female corpse was that he couldn't feel his hollow death intent from the other stone ladders in the corpse cave from this female corpse, but a trace of vitality as thin as a gossamer. In fact, Zhao Yan didn't know that the dead corpses that could be placed in the corpse cave were all cultivated before death, just like the male corpse with a purple complexion, he was a strong man who built the foundation before his death, and this female corpse was even more powerful in the Dan period, originally this female corpse could not appear on the first layer of the corpse cave, but Elder Li specially took out this female corpse from the second layer of the corpse cave and put it in the first layer for his grandson's future cultivation, so that it was convenient for his grandson to choose, but he never thought that it was convenient for Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan read the paper carefully, and in a moment the paper spontaneously ignited and turned into ashes. Zhao Yan was not surprised, because he understood that the exercises recorded on this paper must not be passed on. That's right, what is recorded on the paper is one exercise, but it is only the three layers of the complete exercise. These three levels of practice are about how to cultivate one's own divine consciousness, as long as you are a monk, in addition to the aura you have, your divine consciousness is also a part of your cultivation. According to the exercises, you can simply control the corpse when you practice to the second level, and you can do whatever you want when you practice the third time. Zhao Yan couldn't help but get excited.

Soon Zhao Yan reined in his mind and exercised his cultivation according to the exercises. After a while, Zhao Yan realized that even if he closed his eyes, he could clearly see things within a radius of five meters, which meant that he had already started. Then absorb the aura to nourish the divine consciousness that he has just generated.

At the same time, a young man dressed in black brocade on the first floor of the corpse cave asked Ishihara, "What about the corpse that my grandfather prepared for me?" Ishihara replied calmly, "I was chosen by someone else." ”

The man said angrily, "Don't you know that my grandfather prepared it for me?

Ishihara was also unhappy, and said angrily: "Li Ran, you figure it out, I don't care how others choose corpses, I'm just responsible for guarding the corpse cave, and besides, is that what you said to me, a senior brother who is at the peak of qi training, in the middle of qi training." ”

Li Ran understood that he had lost his temper, although he was not afraid of any disciple with his grandfather, but in order not to arouse the image he usually established, he had to say: "What Senior Brother Shi said is that Senior Brother Shi is also angry and lost his inch, please forgive me." ”

Ishihara couldn't say anything when he saw that Li Yuan was soft. "I told the disciple who chose the corpse, this is what Elder Li prepared for you, but this disciple still chose the female corpse, and I can't say anything. ”

Li Ran also knew when he heard this that the female corpse was not going to come back. Said to Ishihara: "Then junior brother, I will go back to cultivate first." After speaking, Li Yuan turned around and walked out with his followers. Ishihara hoped in his heart that Zhao Yan wouldn't have any trouble, but thinking of Li Ran's character, he could only shake his head helplessly.

Li Ran, who walked to the corpse cave, said to the attendant beside him: "Go find out who chose the female corpse, and tell my grandfather that he is preparing a new one for me." After speaking, Li Ran walked towards the sect. The attendant standing next to Li Ran also turned around and walked away. And Zhao Yan, who was cultivating in the wooden house, didn't know anything about it.
