Chapter 362: The Ten Fingers of the Corpse Reincarnation Immortal
Yan Xu, who followed the Ghost Bride to the Ghost Tomb Sect, did not become arrogant after having two magic weapons and dare to run to other people's base camp, but he was confident enough that he could at least escape safely, otherwise he would have run away long ago. Do people really think he is not afraid of death?
The Ghost Tomb Sect is not the Jade Buddha Temple. Although the Jade Buddha Temple acts in a domineering and unreasonable manner, it is a truly upright sect that practices authentic Buddhist techniques. Therefore, many of Yan Xu's methods cannot restrain them. And in a real fight of strength, he will surely lose with his level. Even if he can win, it will inevitably trigger the passive attribute of the upright sect, which is a righteous beating. By then, the Eighteen Bronze Men Formation and the One Hundred and Eight Arhats Formation will take turns to attack him, and even if he has a body of steel, he will not be able to withstand the beating to death by these bald donkeys.
The Guimu Sect is different. Not only has it always been passed down from one person to another, but it is also restrained by attributes, so the advantage lies with him.
Thanks to the intimidation of the Ghost Warriors against Miss Hua, no, against the Ghost Bride, Yan Xu learned a lot of information from them, especially since they seemed to have accepted their fate, which gave him more confidence.
The history of the Guimu Sect is actually not short, it is hundreds of years old, and its origins are not bad. It's just that because it follows the path of corpse-reincarnation immortals and has been passed down from generation to generation, it has never been well-known.
There is no other way. The practice of corpse-reincarnation is very strange and dangerous. Practitioners need to find a secluded and safe enough place to break free from the constraints of the body by dissolving the flesh bit by bit, and finally live in an object to be liberated and become immortal.
Let’s not even talk about whether this thing can be considered an immortal or not. The fact that one cannot be interrupted during cultivation is deadly enough. Moreover, one must endure the pain of the body slowly dissolving and the loneliness of being alone for a long time. Yan Xu feels uncomfortable just thinking about it.
The first leader of the Ghost Tomb Sect was a marquis. No one knows where he found a book on how to transform corpses into immortals, but he started building a tomb for himself at a very young age. When he was over 70, he had had enough fun and couldn't stand up anymore. After the tomb was built, he plunged into it and never came out.
Unexpectedly, he actually mastered it and passed down this method of corpse transformation into immortality, so he was revered as the founder of the Ghost Tomb Sect.
Compared to the previous generations of Ghost Tomb Sect leaders who were devoted to cultivating immortality, the leader of this generation is an unlucky scholar. He accidentally fell into an ancient tomb while walking at night, and after breaking his leg and being unable to climb out, he had to practice the art of corpse transformation with the previous generation of Ghost Tomb Sect leader. Unexpectedly, he was quite talented and soon he almost transformed his physical body into a mortal body, and was able to rely on objects for a short period of time.
Unfortunately, because he couldn't stand the loneliness, he went out for night walks when he had nothing to do, and as a result, he ran into a vendetta.
He was soft-hearted for a moment and took the seriously injured woman back to the ancient tomb. He wanted to teach her the art of corpse transformation so that she would have a companion in the future. However, it turned out that this woman was a demon cultivator who not only stole his remaining shell that had not been completely transformed, but also occupied the Ghost Tomb Sect, making the place chaotic.
After listening, Yan Xu shook his head. It was a good thing that he did not choose the path of corpse transformation. It was simply too tragic. Although it was called becoming an immortal, it was actually no different from the spirit of a possessed object. It could not be beaten or killed, and apart from being good at hide-and-seek, it had no advantages at all.
In addition, if the body is not dissolved cleanly enough, the remaining shell will be taken away by someone, which will be the biggest handle. Even if the body is dissolved cleanly, once the object it is inhabiting is damaged, the soul will be torn apart.
While walking and disliking the corpse-reincarnation technique, Yan Xu suddenly heard the sound of suona coming from afar, which sounded a little festive. However, it was the middle of the night and in the wilderness. Even if someone was bored, they couldn't come here to play the suona. Just when he was wondering, he found that a ghost wanted to escape.
"Where are you going?" Yan Xu said quietly to the ghost bride who was trying to escape.
"I have to pee urgently." The ghost bride no longer cared about her face and lied without hesitation. However, her IQ was worrying. Yan Xu would rather believe that she was crazy than believe that she could pee.
"Oh, the other party is coming for you." Yan Xu found that the closer the suona sound was, the uglier the ghost bride's face became, so he understood the truth.
"He's the old ghost from Yinshan. I didn't want to marry him, so he sent ghosts to grab the bride." The ghost bride saw that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she said desperately.
"No, you're wrong." Yan Xu then remembered what was wrong.
Although the ghost bride looks scary, she has only been dead for two years. However, her body is solid and she has some signs of spiritual practice. She doesn't look like a new ghost, so she squinted her eyes and raised the ghost gate flag.
"No, I'm telling you, one of the master's fingers is inside me. The old ghost from Yinshan is getting married just as a side job. What he wants is the master's finger!" The ghost bride was anxious and finally told the truth.
Upon hearing this, Yan Xu's gaze shifted downwards. The ghost bride looked both embarrassed and anxious. He hardened his heart and spat out a finger from his mouth. Her ghost body suddenly became much more illusory, no longer having the previous solidity, and was just like a third-rate projection.
"I didn't expect that the body left by the Corpse Reincarnation Immortal would have such an effect." Yan Xu didn't even look down on the Corpse Reincarnation Immortal, let alone one of his fingers, so he didn't even touch it, but just looked at it. "The body left by the master is ten fingers, five of which were taken away by some female devil and hidden deep inside her body, and the other five were secretly hidden by me. Who knew that the Yinshan old ghost knew about it, and that's why he wanted to force me to marry him." The ghost bride could already see the ghost wedding procession in the distance, and hurriedly said.
Yan Xu also understood that the body of the Corpse Reincarnation Immortal had the effect of solidifying the ghost body, which was why he was targeted by the so-called Yinshan Old Ghost.
However, if someone was trying to snatch something of this level, it was obvious that he wasn't that strong, so he didn't take it seriously at all.
As they were talking, a group of little ghosts possessed paper people and paper horses, banging and banging, and carrying a big red sedan chair, floated towards the man and the ghost in the cold wind.
"Please get the bride into the sedan chair!"
A ghost cry made Yan Xu frown, so he waved the ghost gate flag and dozens of ghost warriors rushed out, turning the ghost wedding procession into pieces in a blink of an eye, and a group of little ghosts fled in all directions.
"Let's go, don't waste time." Yan Xu took away the ghost warrior and let the trembling ghost bride continue to lead the way.
The ghost bride no longer dared to delay and obediently led the way.
Not long after, the man and the ghost came to an ancient tomb that looked like a mound of earth. This place was inconspicuous, and even the feng shui pattern was mediocre. Anyone with a little ability would not choose to build a tomb here, but a certain marquis built his own tomb here.
To be honest, if it weren't for the Ghost Bride leading the way, Yan Xu might not have been able to find this place, because according to common sense, there would be no big tomb here. No wonder the Ghost Tomb Sect was so weak, but could be passed down safely for hundreds of years.
"This place is so secretive, how did your leader fall in?" Yan Xu suddenly discovered a problem.
The ghost bride was silent. Yan Xu seemed to realize something and shook his head. The previous leader of the Ghost Tomb Sect was also a bad person.
As she approached, a large, colorful rooster flew down from the top of the tomb, which looked like a mound of earth, and landed right in the ghost bride's arms.
The ghost bride picked up the rooster skillfully, stroking its feathers and comforting it softly. Yan Xu found it interesting and said.
"I didn't realize you had a pet in the tomb, but why did you choose a rooster?"
"This is my husband." The ghost bride said faintly.
Yan Xu was stunned, then thought of something and said.
"Ghost marriage."
"Ah."
Yan Xu was silent. After all, it was just the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, but this was using chickens to represent people, as if every chicken could play basketball.
