Chapter 422

~8 min read 1,452 words

The main city of the Huang Province is called Hanshui City, which is the most important and prosperous city in the Huang Province. The Corpse-Driving Sect is located in the Yingshi Mountain Range outside Hanshui City, where the yin energy is the strongest, most suitable for raising corpses.

Corpse-drivers all regard the Yingshi Mountain Range where the Corpse-Driving Sect is located as a holy land.

Walking into the territory of the Corpse-Driving Sect, even though it was a sunny day, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou could not feel a trace of heat, but instead had a cold chill.

Zhao Po showed a comfortable expression, as if he was enjoying the environment here very much.

The Decayed Fairy was not surprised by this: "It's not just corpse-drivers; anyone who cultivates yin-attribute cultivation methods will feel very comfortable here. Moreover, it doesn't thunder when it rains here, which is very safe."

The so-called yin-attribute cultivation methods refer to cultivation methods related to ghosts, souls, corpses, and other things. The cultivation methods practiced by the Jiuyou Sect belong to yin-attribute cultivation methods.

Cultivators who practice yin-attribute cultivation methods are most afraid of thunder. Thunder represents the most yang and most rigid, and most restrains cultivators of yin-attribute cultivation methods.

Among the twenty-four solar terms, there is a solar term called "Awakening of Insects," which describes the deterrent effect of thunder on yin things.

"Senior Brother Zhao Po, you are back!"

Two gate-keeping disciples saw Zhao Po return and hurriedly saluted.

They each also had a living corpse and stood guard with them.

As the second person of the new generation of disciples, Zhao Po was an idol-like existence among these disciples.

Unlike the first person, Huang Ming, Zhao Po was helpful, and many people had received his help. He had an excellent reputation in the Corpse-Driving Sect.

"Senior Brother Zhao, these two are..."

"They are fellow Daoists from the Wendao Sect, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, here to visit our Corpse-Driving Sect."

The two gate-keeping disciples were shocked: "The Wendao Sect again?!"

"Again?"

"Senior Brother Zhao might not know, but during the time you were out, a fellow Daoist from the Wendao Sect came to our sect. He is also a barbarian and came here to learn corpse-driving techniques."

"Is his name Seeing Man Gu?" Lu Yang couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, that's his name."

"What is Seeing Man Gu learning corpse-driving techniques for? Isn't he a Confucian cultivator?" Meng Jingzhou didn't understand.

"Who knows."

The two gate-keeping disciples reported to the sect, and the sect deacon heard the words and came out personally to welcome the two.

"Please trouble the deacon to report. We two are here to visit your sect master."

The deacon showed a difficult expression: "The sect master is cultivating at a critical moment. After accepting Huang Ming, he has been in seclusion and cannot see anyone."

"I see. That's fine. We can visit your sect's elders too."

Anyway, they were here to find a solution for Meng Jingzhou, and it didn't matter who they asked.

"Then I'll just take the two of you. My master is the Great Elder." Zhao Po smiled.

After the sect competition ended, Huang Ming was accepted as an apprentice by the sect master, and he was accepted as an apprentice by the Great Elder. In terms of actual status, he was even higher than the deacon.

"Then I'll trouble Junior Nephew Zhao Po."

"What are you saying, Uncle Mo."

The three people, one corpse, and one horse successfully entered the Corpse-Driving Sect, first settled Old Ma, and then went to find the Great Elder of the Corpse-Driving Sect.

"What a fragrant smell." Zhao Po's nose twitched, smelling a fragrance he had never smelled before.

"It's really quite fragrant, and very familiar." Meng Jingzhou's nose twitched, smelling the familiar barbecue fragrance.

"It must be Seeing Man Gu." Lu Yang smiled.

Only the three of them, the high-level members of the Decayed Sect, and the members of the Jiuyou Sect could roast this taste.

That is to say, except for the Demon Sect, only the three of them knew how to do it.

"Let's go, let's go see." Meng Jingzhou threw his curse to the back of his mind.

The three followed the fragrance to find Seeing Man Gu, or rather, they didn't need to smell the fragrance; just looking at where there were many people was enough.

The disciples of the Corpse-Driving Sect were gathered together, not knowing what they were doing, and the fragrance was coming from the very middle.

"Make way, make way." The three squeezed into the front row of the crowd and saw Seeing Man Gu.

Only to see Seeing Man Gu sitting cross-legged on the ground, chanting words in his mouth.

Two sheep corpses were dancing on the fire, smearing seasonings on each other. The fragrance of the mutton and the seasonings were perfectly fused together, and being stimulated by the flames, the fragrance was pungent.

The two sheep corpses were roasted with an alluring color, making people's index fingers move.

"Split!" Seeing Man Gu shouted, and the two sheep corpses actively decomposed, becoming small pieces, one piece per person.

The disciples of the Corpse-Driving Sect had long been waiting for this moment and ate heartily, praising it endlessly.

"I have never eaten such delicious roast whole lamb. Look at this skin, burnt, fragrant, and crispy, and this meat, full of juice in one bite."

"More than that, the roast whole lamb I ate before was heated unevenly. Some places were overcooked, and some places were half-cooked. Look at what fellow Daoist Seeing Man Gu roasted, it's called fragrant, even the bones are flavorful!"

"It's still the Wendao Sect that has a way. You say why didn't we think of using corpse-driving techniques for barbecue? The effect of this roasting is so good."

"Don't say that people can enter the Wendao Sect, and we can't. This height of thought is different."

"It's not just the height of thought, fellow Daoist Seeing Man Gu's talent is also high. Look at us learning corpse-driving techniques, we have to learn for three or five years, fellow Daoist Seeing Man Gu entered the door in half a month."

"The motivation to learn is also stronger than ours."

Seeing Man Gu performed very humbly: "Fellow Daoists are flattering me. My little ability is just a small witch compared to my two senior brothers, especially Senior Brother Lu Yang. If he could learn corpse-driving techniques, plus the Samadhi True Fire, the taste of this roast whole lamb could be raised to another level!"

Everyone couldn't imagine how delicious this would be.

Lu Yang: "..."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

No wonder you, Seeing Man Gu, came to learn corpse-driving techniques. It turns out you haven't forgotten what you said in the dense forest.

When Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, Tao Yaoye, and Seeing Man Gu were training in the dense forest, they slaughtered many monster beasts. At that time, Seeing Man Gu found that roasting the whole monster beast was prone to uneven heating, so he proposed using corpse-driving techniques for barbecue.

This method even received high praise from the ancient Seeing Man Gu's great backer—the Decayed Fairy.

"Seeing Man Gu is learning very smoothly. Not only can he make the sheep corpse stand on the fire to roast, but he can also automatically decompose."

The two learned from Zhao Po that living corpse decomposition is a combat technique that is very difficult to master.

"Seeing Man Gu, long time no see!"

The two greeted, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but rise.

Seeing Man Gu heard the familiar voice, raised his head suddenly, saw the figures of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, and his eyes lit up.

"Brother Lu, Brother Meng, why are you here?"

"Old Meng has done all kinds of evil and has been punished." Lu Yang smiled wickedly.

"Evil?" Seeing Man Gu was puzzled. In his impression, Brother Lu and Brother Meng were his learning objects and were very good people. How could they do evil?

"Old Meng was cursed, and now he has no luck with women."

Seeing Man Gu suddenly realized that it must be that in order to cultivate, Brother Meng had developed the potential of the single-body spiritual root to the highest level and deliberately suffered the curse to show his determination to cultivate.

During the time he was learning corpse-driving techniques, Brother Lu and Brother Meng must have been racing against time, practicing seriously and diligently.

Looking at himself, he was complacent after learning a little corpse-driving technique, and corpse-driving techniques didn't improve his cultivation at all. Compared with Brother Meng, he was wasting time.

He felt very ashamed.
