Wan Skull Cliff, deep underground.
There was a dark, dull natural cave, and an old man sat in the cave. His face was dull, his body was as dry as skin and bones, and he had no elasticity at all.
It looks scary to look like this.
After an unknown amount of time, the old man suddenly said in a broken voice: "How is it possible that the old man's spiritual consciousness has lost contact with himself directly? What kind of divine object is that mirror? Who is that kid? It was really the will of the gods to send it to him. A sacrifice? It’s so difficult?”
"Something's wrong. I need to ask Hua Shenyi personally." After the skinny old man finished speaking, he closed his eyes, and the darkness of the cave instantly returned to silence.
At the same time, thousands of miles away, a figure appeared on a lonely grave.
This person is the leader of Tianzhi Sect, Hua Shenyi.
"Senior, I wonder what you want from me?" Hua Shenyi opened the sound transmission jade talisman that she carried with her, and the voice of the old scholar came from the sound transmission jade talisman.
"Hua Shenyi, what is the origin of the sacrifice you paid tribute to me this time?"
"What kind of sacrifice?" Hua Shenyi asked doubtfully.
"He's just a kid who looks like he's in his twenties, but he's actually smart and clever." The old scholar's voice continued to come from the other end of the jade talisman.
"What a clever kid? Senior, except for the few people I told you, no other sacrifices were put in."
After a pause, Hua Shenyi added, "And the sacrifices are paid at the end of the year every year. The juniors are also looking for sacrifices. How can I have time to send the sacrifices back?"
"Since it's not your tribute sacrifice, then it's an intruder?"
"It should be so." Hua Shenyi was not very sure either.
"But that kid is following your corpse slave."
"My corpse slaves?" Hua Shenyi's expression changed slightly, "Then what, where are they now?"
"Don't worry, I've already broken them up for you." The old scholar said.
"Dismantle it? You mean, that brat has been going down to Ten Thousand Skull Cliff with my corpse slave."
"Yes, I have met them a long time ago. Moreover, not only a few of them, but also several sacrifices that made me drool appeared in many places." The old scholar said.
"Senior, are you saying that there are still many unknown people who have entered Ten Thousand Skull Cliff?" Hua Shenyi narrowed his eyes and said slowly.
"Well, since you brat didn't arrange it personally, Old Man will naturally regard them as sacrifices. As long as there are too many sacrifices, Old Man will naturally be able to recover from his injuries as soon as possible. By then, your Heavenly Corpse Sect will become the best sect in the world. It’s not difficult.”
"Senior, please allow this junior to say a few more words. I hope seniors will not take action against these sudden characters. Otherwise, if the people behind them know your identity, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."
"I'm not afraid of you, so what are you afraid of? Besides, my injuries are almost in good condition. Unless I meet a strong man from the Dongxu Realm, no one can pose a threat to me."
"Juniors would like to advise seniors to think twice. Besides, the supreme elder of our Heavenly Corpse Sect has disappeared in the wilderness for ten years. We still have to wait until he is found to make a decision."
"Your supreme elder is not dead. He can sense it and is at the far north."
"This junior knows, but we must find him first, and let him decide everything."
"Okay, I'm giving you five years. After these five years, I will come back and recover from my injuries."
"Five years is five years. I hope you won't get into trouble during this period."
"Of course I understand, but I won't let this kid off the hook for hurting one of my clones."
"Shall I send someone to catch him and hand him over to you directly?" Hua Shenyi said.
"It would be best if your people could help me," the old scholar said.
"That's it, let's talk later." After Hua Shenyi finished speaking, he took back the sound transmission jade talisman and replaced it with another jade talisman.
Then, he opened the jade talisman and let the voice in.
After a while, the voice of the great elder came from Yufu.
"Sect Master, what do you want from He An?"
Hua Shenyi was silent for a moment and said, "Did there be another kid who went down the mountain with the sect master's wife that day?"
"Well, yes, but he is a dead corpse slave."
"Corpse slave? Whose corpse slave?" Hua Shenyi said with a sneer.
He An didn't seem to hear Hua Shenyi's coldness, and continued: "Sect Master, He An doesn't know whose corpse slave he is, but he is indeed a corpse."
"Are you really sure he is a corpse?" Hua Shenyi repeated it again.
"It's absolutely true." He An said.
Hua Shenyi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Where are you now?"
"Back to the sect leader, my current location should be in the belly of Wan Skull Cliff."
"Abdomen?" Hua Shenyi frowned, "Have you found any trace of the sect leader's wife?"
"Not yet."
"Okay, if you see the sect master's wife and find that she is not accompanied by the corpse slave who came down the mountain with her, remember to tell me."
"Yes, Sect Master."
"If you find that corpse slave alone, kill him for me."
"Yes, Sect Master."
"Also, if you meet other young people, teach them a lesson for me, drive them away, and don't let them stay in Ten Thousand Skull Cliff."
"Yes, Sect Master." He An paused and asked, "Sect Master, is there anything else you want to give me?"
After a long time, when He An saw that there was no more sound from the other side of the jade talisman, he put the jade talisman away.
"According to the sect master, the man following the sect master's wife is a living person? But I am a Nascent Soul monk, how could he hide it from me?"
He An paused and shook his head, "The sect master must have made a mistake. How can a dead person become a living person?"
…
After Lin Jingzhe killed the old scholar's soul, he breathed a sigh of relief, rested in the opened cave for a few days, and then embarked on his journey.
Guessing that he was getting closer and closer to the depths of Ten Thousand Skull Cliff, he became a little excited. This excitement may be because he could unlock the secret of the ancient mirror, or there may be other factors involved.
As he walked deeper into the Ten Thousand Skulls Cliff, he felt that the evil energy around him was getting stronger and stronger, which gave him an illusion: "Could it be that these evil spirits are coming from the depths of the Ten Thousand Skulls Cliff?" ?”
Lin Jingzhe shook his head and put the thought back temporarily.
Suddenly, a fierce fight came from the front.
The sound of the fierce fighting was very small and came from far away.
"Do you want to go and have a look?" Lin Jingzhe hesitated for a moment and thought it would be better to go and have a look.
Thinking of this, he performed the Walking Cloud Step and caught up.
After half a stick of incense, he had appeared two miles away.
At this moment, the fighting in front was getting louder and louder, and he finally saw clearly that it was two dead people fighting.
Fighting to the death?
To be precise, two corpse slaves.
Of course, he didn't know whose corpse slave it was.
Behind these two corpse slaves, there is a person standing on each side. This person is the master who controls the corpse slaves.
The person standing on the left seems to be a man, and the person on the right seems to be a woman.
"Elder brother, do you want to kill me? Do you know that I am the disciple of the sect master?"
"I know, and I also know that you are the sect master's new disciple, and I am also your senior brother..."
"Since you know that I am the disciple of the sect master, why do you still want to kill me?"
"How could Senior Brother want to kill you? I just want to ask the sect leader why he let you practice here in isolation?"
"None of your business," the woman said.
"Did the sect master give you the Book of the Dead himself?" the senior brother said.
"No, who did you hear to say that the Dead Man's Book is not the treasure of the clan?"
"Yes, since it is the treasure of the clan, why did he pass it on to you and not to me?" said the senior brother.
"I really haven't received the inheritance of the Book of the Dead, how many times do you have to tell me," the woman said.
"Who believes it? Don't force me to kill you." Senior Brother said.
"If you kill me, you won't be afraid of being blamed by the sect master."
"The sect master has closed more than ten disciples. If I kill you, he may not think of you."
"According to what you said, the sect master doesn't care about me, so why do you know that the sect master gave me the Dead Man's Manual to practice?" the woman said.
"What you said is not unreasonable, so I don't want to kill you, but I just want to ask you how to practice the Dead Man's Manual." The senior brother said.
"I've said it many times, I really don't have the Book of the Dead."
"Who believes it? If you don't, why can you control these skeletons? I've seen them all." Senior Brother said.
Controlling skeletons?
Lin Jingzhe was shocked that Rumeng could control the skeleton. Could it be that he had really practiced the Sutra of the Dead?
This woman was Ru Meng, and Lin Jingzhe recognized her at a glance.
"You, the Holy Son, are you really that good at bullying your own junior sister?" Rumeng said.
"If you hand over the Book of the Dead, I won't let you be tortured."
"Aren't you afraid that after I hand over the Book of the Dead, I will tell the sect master about your persecution of me?"
"No matter what I say, I am the Holy Son. How can the sect master easily blame me?"
"If your identity is important to the sect leader, why didn't he give you the Book of the Dead?"
"Who knows, but that also has the intention of the sect master."
"Since it is the intention of the sect master, if you force me to hand over the Dead Man's Book cultivation method, the sect master will definitely blame you."
"That will happen later. After I practice the Dead Man's Sutra, I will give him a surprise."
"But I really don't have the Sutra of the Dead. Although the sect leader asked me to practice at Ten Thousand Skull Cliff, he just told me that the corpse spirit here is full of energy and that practicing can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"Junior sister, it seems that you really can't see the coffin without shedding tears. It's okay. I'll meet you after my corpse slave* defeats your corpse slave."
"Don't wait until later, you can fight now. If you encounter a strong Yin Qi on the way, I will not come to rescue you."
"Then I won't worry about you."
"Okay, this is what you said." After Rumeng finished speaking, she waved her palm to attack.
"boom!"
The two of them exchanged palms and retreated.
"How can you successfully compete with me in the middle of foundation building? Your physical body is also vulnerable." The senior brother sneered.
At this time, the two corpse slaves were already fighting fiercely.
