Chapter 401
"A trip to the Huangzhou might be for the best; there should be a solution there." The Third Elder nodded, feeling that his disciple's brain was indeed useful.
"I'll go with you." Lu Yang felt that since he had been cultivating honestly at Heaven Gate Peak for so long, he should go out and move around, otherwise his brain would atrophy.
The Fourth Elder kindly gave them a suggestion: "If you are going to the Huangzhou, you can seek help from the Corpse-Driving Sect. The Corpse-Driving Sect and our Congwendao Sect have a good relationship, and the Sect Masters of past generations have all had friendships. Even if you propose to learn the art of corpse-driving, the Corpse-Driving Sect will not refuse."
As a famous first-rate major power in the Huangzhou, with their assistance, things would surely go much smoother.
When he traveled through the Huangzhou, he had received help from the Corpse-Driving Sect.
The Fourth Elder immediately wrote a letter of recommendation by hand, folded it, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Meng Jingzhou.
Meng Jingzhou took the envelope, realized what was happening, and was stunned: "Just me and Lu Yang? Master, aren't you guys going?"
You guys were just brainstorming for me so enthusiastically, although none of it was useful, it was clear you cared about me. How come looking at this situation, only Lu Yang and I are going to the Huangzhou?
The Third Elder waved his hand: "Not going. This matter of yours is too embarrassing to talk about."
Taking Meng Jingzhou to the Huangzhou to seek a cure for a curse everywhere—what is the difference between this and taking him to the Huangzhou to seek medical treatment for impotence everywhere?
If this were spread by others, how would he be able to mix in the Jianghu in the future?
Meng Jingzhou: "......"
Lu Yang: "......"
The Decayed Fairy was full of confidence in the journey to the Huangzhou: "What are you two afraid of? With this Immortal here, could anything possibly go wrong?"
The Elder consultation ended, and the conclusion was that the patient needed to save himself.
Meng Jingzhou sighed gloomily and returned to his cave dwelling to pack his things.
Naturally, he didn't encounter a single Senior Sister along the way.
Lu Yang also packed his things.
"Witchcraft and corpse-driving are specialties of the Huangzhou, with graves visible everywhere, as well as all kinds of miasma and poisonous creatures."
"Need to exchange for some detox pills at the Mission Hall."
"There are also many people who know the art of cursing. I have never encountered anyone who knows the art of cursing before. It is easy to suffer a big loss when meeting for the first time. Do I need to purchase some things that can resist curses?"
"With this Immortal covering you, are you still afraid of curses?" The Decayed Fairy patted her chest and said, showing her presence. As the head of the five ancient immortals, what kind of curse could be effective against her?
Lu Yang glanced at the Decayed Fairy. That's right, the greatest curse in the world is right here, what other curses would he be afraid of?
Without considering the matter of being cursed, the trip to the Huangzhou would be much easier.
"Your conditions are good now. With this Immortal here, you don't need to worry about curses. Back then, when this Immortal hadn't become an immortal, I often fought with people, competing for the qualification to become an immortal. Those guys were all young geniuses with some ability. They were arrogant in the tribe, but when they met this Immortal, no young genius was of any use!"
"These guys weren't qualified to be called young geniuses either. Once defeated by this Immortal, they would be depressed. Look at Ying Tian Xian and Qilin Xian; they are beaten by this Immortal all day long, and I haven't seen them decadent."
"They saw that they couldn't defeat this Immortal on the surface, so they cast curses in secret, casting death curses on this Immortal."
"Fortunately, this Immortal's talent was unparalleled, and I carried it all through."
Lu Yang remembered that the art of cursing originated from ancient times. Ancient curses were more vicious and terrifying than they are now. The fact that the Fairy could resist ancient curses and successfully become an immortal shows how powerful she is.
He secretly marveled. As expected of the Decayed Fairy, although she is unreliable on weekdays, in the ancient years, her strength was truly fought out.
The Decayed Fairy was angry, pouting her lips.
"The most hateful are some holy maidens of the holy lands. They couldn't beat this Immortal, and they were jealous of this Immortal's appearance, worrying that the men they liked would fall in love with this Immortal, so they also cast curses on this Immortal, cursing this Immortal to be disfigured."
It can be seen that even after a long time, she is still dissatisfied with the behavior of these holy maidens.
"Although this Immortal was quite famous before becoming an immortal, and my cultivation, appearance, and wisdom were extremely outstanding, this Immortal had no background and was often squeezed out by others. Some people even publicly mocked this Immortal, saying that even if this Immortal is powerful, without a background, I cannot successfully become an immortal."
"Bullying this Immortal for having no background? Then this Immortal will become the biggest background myself!" The Decayed Fairy laughed proudly. She was very angry before, but now she only thinks those opponents are naive.
"Fairy is amazing."
"Right?"
Lu Yang packed his things quickly, packed everything he could think of, and went to the Mission Hall to exchange for many things that might be useful.
"Detox pills must be bought, and these herbs, at critical moments, can be used to make antidotes temporarily."
Lu Yang had learned the basic knowledge of poisons at the Pill Cauldron Peak. This is a compulsory course for Congwendao Sect disciples, and common poisons are ineffective against him.
When traveling abroad, one must not have the heart to harm others, but one must have the heart to guard against others—this is the sect motto of the Wuxing Sect.
Later, Daoist Bu Yu and the eight elders felt that Qiu Jinan's words made sense, so they took this sentence and told it to the disciples, letting the disciples have the heart to guard against others.
"Buy a few more books introducing the Huangzhou,"
"Humanities of the Huangzhou", "Legends of Corpse-Driving"
"Disaster of Witchcraft"....
"It is possible to encounter battles, need to buy talismans for battle, Soul-Returning Pills... these are about enough."
After purchasing the items, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou gathered at the Shanmen.
Meng Jingzhou arrived a step earlier than Lu Yang and was already waiting in the carriage.
"You're too slow."
"What's the rush? As if leaving early means returning early."
Lu Yang got into the carriage, and the two checked the things they each carried to ensure there were no omissions before setting off.
On the way, the Decayed Fairy said boredly: "If only we could find the Suiyue Immortal. His Jianmu body has the ability to pray for blessings. Picking a leaf or breaking off a branch can resolve the karmic backlash of the Meng family boy."
"Jianmu has this effect? Why haven't I heard of it?" Lu Yang was puzzled, but the descriptions of Jianmu in ancient books are very few, so it is normal for there to be things he doesn't know.
"You know about the New Year, right? The day of the transition between the old and the new, crossing over bad luck, and gaining good luck in the coming year, this is the New Year. The concept of the New Year was created by him."
"Isn't there a custom of crossing over branches during the New Year? From the root, it should be Jianmu branches, but people in later generations couldn't find Jianmu branches, so they used ordinary branches instead."
"Speaking of which, I didn't know Jianmu had the function of praying for blessings at first. It was Qilin Xian and the others who told me."
"Qilin Xian and the others said that the Suiyue Immortal has a probability of predicting when I will treat them to a meal, and when I will visit their cave dwellings, which allows them to prepare early. This is a great blessing."
Lu Yang deeply agreed, very much agreed with the point of view of Qilin Xian and the others, and nodded.
"The Suiyue Immortal indeed has the function of praying for blessings and keeping safe."
