In the dark underground palace, the corpse with half of its face slowly opened its eyes. The yellow and turbid eyes moved, reflecting a desire for food.
He suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled the corpse of the prefect next to him, half-opened his mouth, and a sound of tearing, chewing and devouring could be heard.
At the same time, traces of flesh sprouted from the broken half of his face, twisting like a living thing, and repaired that half of his face.
There was actually yellow and greasy corpse oil flowing down from the body of the corpse. When it touched the surrounding corpses, there was a sound of twisting limbs. In the entire underground palace, whether they were fresh living corpses or shriveled up corpses,
The mummy-like corpses all opened their eyes at this moment!
…………
At the foot of the mountain gate of Changchun Temple, Cui Zijie went up the mountain with more than a hundred night watchmen and Xuanjia guards from Jingyesi. Except for the people stationed in various counties who did not come, this is now all the strength of Jingyesi in Heyang Prefecture.
Already.
Although Cui Zijie is still not sure that all this is related to Changchun Temple, he also focuses on stability when doing things, and it is always right to bring more people.
The door of the Taoist temple was knocked open, and there was only one lay Taoist priest on guard who looked at Cui Zijie and others in front of him, somewhat at a loss.
These lay Taoist priests are not disciples of Changchun Temple at all. They are only responsible for receiving pilgrims and handling some chores on weekdays. They are not even qualified to enter the main hall.
"My lord, what are you doing?"
Cui Zijie said with a smile: "I would like to ask to see Master Qiu of Changchun Temple. I believe Master Qiu is not asleep at this time, right?"
Qiu Yixin walked out of the palace, shook his head slightly and said: "Even if Pindao has fallen asleep and Commander Cui comes in person, Pindao still has to go out to greet him.
Did Commander Cui come here because of the disappearance of the prefect? Pindao had already told Mr. Gu before that if Pindao didn’t do anything bad, he wouldn’t be afraid of Jingyesi coming to his door. If Jingyesi wanted to search, then he would
Go and search."
Cui Zijie said with a half-smile on his face: "Master Qiu is comparing our Jingyesi to a ghost? Although I, Jingyesi, knock on the door a lot in the middle of the night, there is real evidence for that.
Let’s not talk about the matter about the prefect. I would like to ask Master Qiu one thing. Why was your Changchun Guanhui secretly dealing with Ji Haiya before the death of Ji Haiya, the leader of the Changle Gang?
Moreover, among the elixirs traded, it was possible to refine the three corpse insects of the corpse-killing lineage.
What's even more strange is that shortly after trading these elixirs, Ji Haiya's gang leader died. This is very strange.
The one who presided over the transaction was Qiu Yining, the elder of Changchun Temple, so please invite him to come out and let's talk about this matter."
Upon hearing the words Changle Gang, Qiu Yixin's expression remained unchanged, but his cheeks twitched slightly.
He is not afraid of Jing Yesi investigating the matter of the prefect. He is fully prepared, even if he opens the entire Changchun Temple for the other party to search.
But what happened with the Changle Gang was something he didn't expect.
He had obviously done a very clean job and all the evidence had been destroyed. Even the most powerful cultivator could not find Ji Haiya's death famous. How did Jingyesi know about the transaction?
Qiu Yixin didn't expect that although Ji Haiya didn't know what those elixirs were made from, he had been cultivating elixirs all his life, and his intuition told him that the refining of these elixirs was not a good method.
He was cautious by nature, so he left a secret bill.
"Junior brother is currently in retreat to study the Taoist scriptures. He cannot be disturbed to meet guests. Please don't blame me, Commander-in-Chief."
Qiu Yixin suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and answered with a smile.
Cui Zijie smiled half-heartedly and said: "Retreat? I have never heard of a retreat that cannot be disturbed except for life and death.
Let's do this, as long as Master Qiu allows me to see Qiu Yining, if my suspicion is wrong, then I, Mr. Cui, will leave the three hundred kilograms of meat here, and I can do whatever I want with Changchun Temple, okay?"
Gu Cheng suddenly discovered that Cui Zijie also had a somewhat generous temperament.
I, a dignified commander of Jingyesi, have said this, why are you still not allowed to see people at Changchun Temple? That would be a slap in my face.
Qiu Yixin's cheeks twitched and froze.
Now in the entire Changchun Temple, he and Qiu Liandong are the only two people who can come out to meet people. Where can he find people?
And the more he hesitated, the more suspicious Cui Zijie, who was just suspicious before, felt that he was suspicious.
Taking a step forward, Cui Zijie pressed forward step by step.
"Why, I, Jingyesi, just want to see someone right now, and Master Qiu won't even allow me?"
Just when Qiu Yi was thinking about how to deal with it, a loud noise came from the entire gate of Changchun Temple.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
It was as if something was beating on the ground underground, trying to break free.
Qiu Liandong ran out in panic and shouted: "Master! Grandmaster... he is alive!"
Qiu Yixin suddenly had a look of ecstasy on his face: "Seriously!? Come to life? I succeeded? No, there should be one last hurdle to complete, why is it so early?"
Cui Zijie felt something was wrong and quickly asked: "What Patriarch? Your master has been dead for decades, right? Where did you get your Patriarch?"
Qiu Yixin ignored Cui Zijie at this time, but continued to be immersed in the ecstasy and confusion.
Qiu Liandong shook his head crazily and said: "It's not really coming back to life, it's..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a huge explosion, the main hall of Changchun Temple shattered, a strange roar came, the Yin Qi condensed in the air, and the clouds were dense, instantly making Changchun Temple this Taoist temple with pleasant scenery.
, it became like a ghost land.
The ghost, wearing a Taoist robe and as skinny as a stick, stepped out of the cave. The boundless Yin Qi was sucked into its body, causing it to rise several feet taller in an instant.
Half of his face looked like a zombie, with black and yellow flesh clinging to the skull, and his eyes were cloudy and yellow.
The other half of the face was filled with bright red granules, making it even more sinister. One eye turned out to be scarlet.
As the ghost looked up to the sky and howled, hundreds of figures emerged from behind it. Some of them still looked like normal people, but their bodies were filled with yin energy, like zombies.
And some are simply decayed and broken corpses, resurrected like zombies.
The moment Qiu Yixin saw the ghost, he immediately rushed toward it. Cui Zijie wanted to stop him, but failed.
Qiu Liandong also shouted from behind: "Master! Don't go! The Patriarch has not really come alive, and it is not the Patriarch!"
But at this moment, Qiu Yixin seemed to be possessed by a demon. He didn't listen to anyone's words. He knelt down directly in front of the ghost, bowed to the ground respectfully, and said loudly: "Qiu Yixin, the twenty-third generation disciple of Changchun Temple, kowtows to the ancestor and welcomes the ancestor."
Return to the world!"
The ghost in Taoist robes tilted its head, its cloudy eyes flashed with an unknown color, stretched out its arm like a mummy, and placed it on Qiu Yixin's head.
The immortal caressed my head, tied my hair and received immortality?
Qiu Yixin's face was full of excitement.
Although the scene in front of me is a little different from what I imagined, it is just like what is said in the Sutra of Immortality. Immortals, gods, humans and ghosts are just skins of flesh, and in the end they all reach the same destination through different paths.
Just when he was about to receive immortality, the withered ghost claws suddenly grabbed him!
There was a soft "bang" sound, and the headless body fell to the ground, with red and white liquid splashing everywhere.
"Master!"
Qiu Liandong's eyes widened, his face full of pain.
Cui Zijie fiercely pulled Qiu Liandong over by his collar, pulled out a long knife and pointed it at him, and said angrily: "What on earth are you doing at Changchun Temple!? What on earth is this!?"
Now Cui Zijie feels that he is about to collapse.
It was obviously an investigation into the disappearance of the prefect, so why did such a powerful ghost appear at the end? Cui Zijie felt chilled in his heart just by looking at its aura.
Qiu Liandong smiled miserably: "It's all because of the so-called Patriarch, who killed everyone because of his unattainable immortality!
A year ago, Master was sorting out the classics of my Changchun Temple and suddenly found a note left by the Patriarch sandwiched in a useless classic.
That note actually asked future generations to dig up his body five hundred years later, and it contained the secret of immortality.
The master did as he was told, and in five hundred years the Patriarch's body had become a mummy, but there was still a trace of life left.
The Immortality Sutra he left behind records various secret techniques. As long as you follow the above, you can nourish corpses with elixirs and feed them with the blood of living people whose birthdates are Yin. You must also turn the other person into a living corpse to cultivate Yin Qi, and even
It is necessary to dig out some corpses to accumulate corpse energy, and finally be able to live against death, be resurrected, and teach the disciples of Changchun Temple the way to live forever.
At the beginning, all the disciples felt that the so-called Immortality Sutra was nonsense, but for some reason, the master seemed to be possessed by a demon, and began to secretly try to resurrect the founder, and also dragged all the Changchun disciples into the water.
In the end, the ancestor was not resurrected, but we resurrected a monster!"
"grass!"
After hearing this, Cui Zijie couldn't help but curse angrily: "Is Qiu Yixin suffering from water in his head? Is he still immortal? In the past, the 'Luofu Master' Ye Fashan and other people whose cultivation was so profound that they were comparable to gods and immortals were not able to live forever.
, just because he wants to pursue immortality? He deserves it!"
Although Cui Zijie cursed angrily, he knew in his heart why Qiu Yixin was so obsessed with doing these things.
Because he is afraid of death.
Whether it is martial arts or qi refining, it can enhance one's longevity. As long as there are no accidents, the body after being cleansed by the true qi and spiritual energy will definitely live longer than ordinary people. That's why when Old Man Li said he wished Gu Cheng a long life, he
It felt awkward because it seemed to be cursing him to an early death.
With Gu Cheng's current level of cultivation, it would not be a problem to live to be a hundred years old.
In the Sixth Level of Qi Refining, the Gang Qi has been condensed and the body can be refined, so it is not a problem to live to one hundred and fifty years old.
But Qiu Yixin is already over 140 years old and does not have many more years to live.
A person who knows that he is about to die, after discovering a secret method that may lead to immortality, even if he knows that the possibility is slim, will still grasp it as if he has seen a life-saving straw, and risk everything he has to win that chance.
