Chapter 44: Evil Guest at the Door

Cheng Yunqi thought for a moment and took out a jade slip, which was exactly what Master Sukong gave him when they parted. Five characters were engraved on the jade slip:

*Clear Fortune Transformation Scripture*.

It was exactly the method for finding corpses, identifying corpses, raising corpses, and controlling corpses.

Cheng Yunqi first looked at the corpse-finding chapter. He was not in a hurry to find the master of the Lung Mansion, but familiarizing himself with it first would make it easier to pay attention in the future.

This rhinoceros beetle was given by Master. Its element matched, and it was also a rare insect corpse. Its ancestors had even produced immortals.

But Cheng Yunqi did not intend to use this one.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the insect corpse was not his best choice. How should he put it?

He always felt there was a sense of pettiness.

This insect's ability was all in controlling other mourning objects. On its own, except for its escape technique and strength which were worth mentioning, there was nothing else. To be honest, it lacked a sense of magnificent power.

Although he intended to use Xin Metal, the Lung Mansion, after all, governs the West and holds the power of killing. Even if it belongs to Yin, it must have an implication of being invincible and arrogant. If going a step further, it should have the arrogance of winning by surprise and defeating Yang with Yin!

As for this insect corpse, it would be the right thing to find a top-notch corpse for himself after raising it well.

The corpse-finding chapter says that corpses are Yin, and among the Five Elements, they are Yi Wood, Ding Fire, Ji Earth, Xin Metal, and Gui Water.

Water must never be taken, because among the Five Elements, water is Yin, and Gui Water is already the extreme of Yin. Adding a dead corpse body, such Yin nature, makes it difficult for the corpse to form. If it forms, it becomes a great demon, an evil corpse, or a demon corpse, which must never be raised; if seen, it must be eliminated.

This jade slip specifically mentions that hundreds of years ago, there was a corpse demon named Gu Chen who was suppressed by the Emei Sect's founder, Elder Changmei, within the subterranean malevolent fire, and he has been unable to escape to this day.

Yi Wood is a living corpse. Because the corpse belongs to earth, and earth generates wood, there is vitality gestated in the death Qi, which is a living corpse. After a living corpse cultivates successfully, it is no different from an ordinary person, with fair skin and flexible joints, only without a heartbeat or body temperature.

The corpse beauty Cui Ying, who is hailed as a peerless beauty in the human world and is indistinguishable from a living person, is precisely a Wood-element corpse.

Ding Fire is a fierce corpse. When it appears, there is a great drought. The drought demon of ancient times was a corpse of Ding Fire. In the current cultivation world, there is also a Ding Fire corpse called Red Corpse Wu Lao, but this corpse should be afraid of being eradicated by the righteous path, so it rarely shows its traces.

The earth's terrain is Kun, carrying things with great virtue, gestating vitality. Most of the corpses in the world are Ji Earth, which are the zombies often spoken of.

However, above zombies, when Earthly Branch Earth reaches the extreme, there is another kind of corpse called the Emperor Corpse. It cannot be formed unless an emperor is buried in a dragon cave and encounters the withering of the dragon vein. This kind of Emperor Corpse is a kind of speculation in the *Clear Fortune Scripture* and has not recorded its true name. Perhaps it has never appeared.

Xin Metal is a strange corpse. Metal is the essence of earth, formed by change and born by strangeness. This kind of corpse can only be nurtured by exhausting the mechanism of change. As for its abilities, it really depends on the number of days. Ordinary ones are no different from ordinary zombies, just with thicker skin and flesh, called Golden Armored Corpses. At the extreme, they can become corpse immortals.

Like the rhinoceros beetle in his hand, lifelike, neither decaying nor rotting, with the quality of gold and jade, it can be considered top-notch among Xin Metal. As long as it is raised well, it is not impossible to have the opportunity to open its spirit.

The book also says,

Gui Water is in the northeast, sinking in lakes and marshes;

Yi Wood is in the southeast, hidden in tree roots;

Ding Fire is in the southwest, buried in fire caves;

Xin Metal is in the northwest, covered in gold and stone;

Ji Earth is in all directions, under the great earth.

That is to say, before opening the Lung Mansion, perhaps he still needs to go to the northwest earth.

"Woo—"

The dog guarding the door suddenly stood up and let out a low warning bark.

Cheng Yunqi put away the jade slip, extinguished the firelight, put aside his thoughts, took a step to the cave entrance, and stared in one direction.

"Toad, let's see where you can run today!"

A sharp shout came from afar.

Cheng Yunqi couldn't help but be speechless upon hearing this. Why does he always run into this kind of scene?

But listening to the voice this time, it seemed that the person chasing was fiercer, and the person fleeing didn't speak much. Before long, the "Toad" broke into Cheng Yunqi's field of vision.

In the heavy snow, this person was dressed in a green robe, which was particularly eye-catching. No wonder he was called a toad.

This person didn't even have a flying sword, just running wildly with his footwork. However, he should have been blessed with something like a God-Speed Talisman, so he was still running very fast. The person left no traces on the snow, but his face and clothes were covered in blood, looking extremely miserable.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Two breaking-air sounds came from behind the toad.

Cheng Yunqi raised his eyebrows; it was the sound of talisman arrows.

The toad twisted his body, and a talisman arrow landed on the ground in front of the toad, turning into a cloud of poisonous mist, blocking the fleeing person's path.

The talisman arrow behind was blocked by something like a stone thrown by the fleeing person, exploding into a fireball in mid-air. He himself was also affected by the fire wave, burning off a few strands of hair, looking even more miserable.

At this time, the people chasing behind also broke into Cheng Yunqi's field of vision; there were two of them.

Cheng Yunqi was somewhat familiar with the attire of these two people; they looked like Miao people, but their hair was fiery red, which was also very strange.

The two people were one old and one young. The younger one was about twenty years old, with a sturdy build and a messy, fluffy short hair like a bird's nest. The older one was about forty years old, thin and short, with shoulder-length hair.

"Why don't you run anymore? Your magic power is exhausted, right? Want to fight for your life now?"

The one with messy hair said.

At this time, the toad mentioned by the two stopped running, and the two stood far apart, not daring to approach.

This was much smarter than that young hero from the Jin Xiang Sect.

The toad looked younger, estimated to be under thirty, but he had a fierce face, and looking closely at his fingers, three out of ten were missing.

"Just you two rotten-headed snakes, if it weren't for bullying the few with the many, would I, your grandfather, need to flee?!"

In the heavy snow, one was in a dirty green robe, and two had flamboyant red hair, cursing each other. This made Cheng Yunqi unable to understand; why did they all look like demons? They didn't look as easy to judge as the young hero Jiang Nanjing and the thin Daoist.

The situation was unclear, so Cheng Yunqi naturally didn't move, hiding in the mountain cave, restraining his breath and voice, and the dog didn't need to be reminded; even the sound of breathing couldn't be heard.

"Grandfather is right here, do you rotten-headed snakes dare to come forward? You shot thirteen talisman arrows all the way, do you still have any? If your Red Wood Ridge is so wealthy, what does it matter if I die right here?!"

The toad shouted loudly. Now that he had stopped, his momentum was even stronger than when he was running.

The two rotten-headed snakes were even more relaxed now, just staring firmly at the toad, maintaining a distance that could be attacked or defended.

"Yes, yes, yes, you are powerful, you are the most powerful. We were just thinking, this heavy snow was summoned by your ancestor. I don't know if he thought that his own descendants would freeze to death in this snow. Oh, he probably wouldn't care!"

"Hahahaha!"

The two rotten-headed snakes laughed wildly.

And the Daoist in the mountain cave, besides being shocked that this heavy snow was summoned by human power, also had guesses in his heart. One side in green robes, one side with red hair, they were like fire and water in this Southern Wilderness mountain forest, and they had just mentioned Red Wood Ridge.

Wasn't that Red Wood Ridge and Hundred Barbarian Mountain!

It's just that the disciples of these two families liked to follow their ancestor's preferences so much? Why did they have to be so consistent in their attire and image?

Time passed, and in the end, the toad couldn't hold back.

Under Cheng Yunqi's rather surprised gaze, he bit into the few remaining fingers he had.
