Chapter 406

After listening to the village chief's narration, the two suddenly realized: "No wonder these living corpses are so hard, not like something ordinary people can refine. It turns out they are lost."

"Is it common for living corpses to be lost?"

The village chief shook his head: "How is that possible? I have lived for eighty years and this is the first time I have seen ownerless living corpses. I only heard people talk about it before."

"May I ask what are the reasons for ownerless living corpses?"

"I heard people say that there are only two reasons for ownerless living corpses. Either the owner has died, the living corpses have lost control and wander all day, or the owner actively releases control of the living corpses, or the living corpses fight back and eat the owner."

"Judging from the attitude of the living corpses in our village, they are not bloodthirsty, not like the third situation."

"Is there any way to find the owner of the living corpses?"

Hearing Lu Yang ask this, the village chief showed a tangled expression, his brows wrinkled into a ball, and finally sighed. "Yes."

"Every corpse-driver will leave a unique mark on his living corpses to declare. The living corpses in our village all have the same mark on their right wrists, just like this."

The village chief squatted on the ground and drew three interlocking circles with his finger, with the word "Ghost" written in the middle of the circles. "If the owner of the living corpse is still alive, his right wrist will also have the same pattern."

"Although I only have the peak of the second layer of Qi Refining and my cultivation is limited, I studied under an amazing corpse-driver when I was young. My teacher was at the peak of the sixth layer of Qi Refining!"

"During the period of studying with the teacher, I recognized all the patterns of corpse-drivers in the surrounding counties, and none of them had similar styles. As for corpse-drivers in other places, I have never seen them."

This is also one of the reasons why the village chief did not report the case. The living corpses were not left by nearby corpse-drivers. Even if the case was reported to the government, the government could not find the owner of the living corpses.

"Has the old fellow heard of the Corpse-Driving Sect?"

The village chief laughed: "How could I not know the name of the Corpse-Driving Sect? Thirty years ago, I was fortunate enough to see a disciple of the Corpse-Driving Sect from afar. He was truly a young talent, far from what someone like me who has difficulty even getting started with the corpse-driving art can compare to."

"Do you know the location of the Corpse-Driving Sect?" "That's far away."

The village chief pointed to the west: "The Corpse-Driving Sect is in the very center of our Desolate Province. From here, walk all the way west, there is a distance of 80 million miles."

Meng Jingzhou nodded: "It seems we have to walk for a few more days."

With the old horse, the distance of 80 million miles is not far. When he ran away from home, from the Imperial Capital to the Congwendao Sect, it was more than 80 million miles, which was just a matter of a few days.

Whether walking fast or slow depends entirely on the old horse's mood.

At first, Meng Jingzhou thought that walking fast was because the carriage chassis had a space array, which could shuttle through space at will and shorten the distance. Later, he learned that the carriage was indeed a treasure, but the real reason for walking fast was the old horse.

"Since we already know the existence of the living corpses, can the old fellow let our brothers stay?"

"Alright, anyway, my old companion has passed away, and my children have moved to the county to live. You staying is just adding two quilts."

The two rested and adjusted in Jianshi Village for one night, said goodbye to the village chief the next day, and embarked on the journey.

"You two had good luck last night." The Decayed Fairy stretched, twisted her body, and stretched her muscles and bones. Although the soul body has no concept of muscles and bones, habits before death will always inherit a part after death.

"Good luck?"

"Yes, the group of living corpses you encountered last night were carefully refined by a great cultivator, that is, there was no one to command, plus the yang energy was insufficient, and they didn't even have the strength to move. They could only rely on that pile of big steamed buns to maintain basic activities every day, otherwise you two couldn't beat that group of living corpses."

"If I expected correctly, that group of living corpses acting together is enough to deal with an Integration stage cultivator."

"Integration stage!" Lu Yang was taken aback. He only knew that the living corpses last night were solid, but he never expected it to be exaggerated to the point of being able to deal with the Integration stage.

Even if Lu Yang doesn't understand the craft of refining living corpses, he knows that being able to refine living corpses of this level must be an Integration stage cultivator.

This group of living corpses is the combat means of an Integration stage cultivator, how could it be discarded at will?

? Did an Integration-level corpse-driver die?

Thinking of this, Lu Yang felt a chill.

Nowadays, everyone rarely fights, and it is rare for Integration stage cultivators to kill each other, not to mention how powerful Integration stage cultivators are and how many life-saving means they have. If the gap is not too large, such as the gap between his master Daoist Bu Yu, the Great Elder, Qiu Jinan, and ordinary Integration stage cultivators, it is difficult for an Integration stage cultivator to kill another Integration stage cultivator.

Seeing Lu Yang's face change slightly, Meng Jingzhou couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong with you?" "You should still remember that the Decayed Fairy lives in my body."

When the Decayed Fairy was resurrected, Meng Jingzhou was watching from the side.

Meng Jingzhou blinked his eyes, beat his palms, and showed a look of sudden realization. "Ah~ I remember, there is still an ancient immortal in your body. What did the immortal say?"

"..... Wait a minute, what the immortal said is one thing, why do you look like you just remembered?" "This can't blame me."

Meng Jingzhou scratched his head embarrassedly, counting with his fingers: "Mainly in my imagination, people with ancient immortals in their bodies should have constant strange luck, use ancient incomplete magic treasures as weapons, master various shocking secrets, be familiar with various cultivation methods, be invincible at the same level, often have amazing words, have knowledge that this level shouldn't have, and have beauties throwing themselves into their arms, going to secret realms like going home, etc."

"I don't see your usual performance like this. The only characteristic that fits is being invincible at the same level, but this is not a particularly conspicuous characteristic in our Congwendao Sect."

"Oh right, you also know various ancient secrets that can only be used to bluff the Jiuyou Sect." Lu Yang:

Yes, I also want to know the reason.

"What did the immortal say?"

"She said that the living corpse group we encountered last night has combat power comparable to the Integration stage." Meng Jingzhou's pupils shrank, obviously thinking of the same problem as Lu Yang.

How could living corpses of this level be left outside at will? Something unknown must have happened!

"Find a big city to inquire, whether there has been a battle, or which Integration stage cultivator has fallen. It is impossible for things of this level to have no trace at all."

Lu Yang nodded, he thought so too.

"By the way, since there is an ancient immortal living in your body, can you help me ask if her old lady has a way to solve my karmic backlash?" Meng Jingzhou looked at Lu Yang eagerly. That's right, without Senior Sister's help, there is still an ancient immortal's help.

Ancient immortals have heaven-reaching means, isn't solving a mere karmic backlash easy? "Asked."

"What did her old lady say?" "She told you to go die." ""
