"It's not over yet, but some of the disciples who are keeping watch can leave. Currently, there are still three people left in front of the mourning hall: Yuan Sheng, Yuan Rui, and Yuan Xiang... If you want to go, of course, I can accompany you. .”
Huang Ming thought for a moment and then spoke out.
"good."
I nodded, and then followed Huang Ming to the mourning hall.
What was different from the day was that at night, I discovered that the outside of Yuan Zhengfa’s mourning hall was filled with candles.
These candles circle the mourning hall, including the open space outside. The extremely bright candles make the mourning hall seem to be brightly lit.
There were not many people in the mourning hall that was originally crowded during the day. Only three juniors, Yuan Sheng and others, were left standing vigil.
They were all a little dazed, with their heads lowered and their eyes half-closed, even Yuan Sheng was like this.
When Huang Ming and I arrived, all three of us woke up and turned to look at me.
"What are you doing here? You don't seem to have any obligation to keep a wake for the old patriarch, do you?"
Yuan Xiang frowned and looked at me. He was still somewhat hostile to me.
From the time we first entered Luyi to the end of the fight, the hatred between us cannot be resolved in a short time.
So I didn't answer him, I just glanced at him and walked closer.
After dealing with Yuan Donglai before and what happened after that, Yuan Xiang didn't seem to dare to provoke me. Seeing that I ignored him, he was a little angry, but he didn't dare to say anything, let alone come forward to stop me.
"Chen Qi, are you also here to watch the funeral?"
Yuan Sheng, the most powerful younger member of the Runan Yuan family, was right next to me and asked me aloud.
Although I defeated him in the end and won the position of leader, Yuan Sheng didn't have much hostility towards me.
There were even a few times when I found Yuan Sheng peeking at me, as if he wanted to come up and talk to me. I also understood what he wanted to say. He wanted to know how I increased my physical body to so many times.
"Come and take a look." I replied casually, staring at Yuan Zhengfa's coffin.
And at this moment, I don't know if it was a coincidence, but with my keen perception, I also discovered Yuan Zhengfa's coffin, which seemed to have no death energy emanating from it.
Moreover, when the death energy did not escape from the coffin, I suddenly felt that the coffin in front of me seemed to be an empty coffin! There is nothing in it!
This discovery shocked me!
Huang Ming didn't deceive me?
If the coffin thing is true, is it also true that he saw Yuan Zhengfa?
Is Yuan Zhengfa really alive?
Then what was the condition of the dead body I saw during the day?
Just as I was approaching, Yuan Xiang couldn't help but stepped forward. He said, "What are you going to do? You can't get close to the old patriarch's coffin!"
I glanced at him lightly.
Yuan Xiang looked at me with some fear, but he still wanted to say something. However, Yuan Rui, who had never spoken at the side, spoke. She stopped Yuan Xiang and said, "Okay, stop arguing, he will go as soon as he wants." If he is allowed to go, the clan leader will not stop him, so why are you trying to stop him?"
"Cousin, but this..."
Yuan Xiang looked at Yuan Rui and said aloud, it seems that this Yuan Xiang is more respectful to Yuan Rui.
"Haha, Chen Xiaoyou was invited into the mourning hall by the clan leader during the day. I think it won't be a big problem if he gets closer to the old clan leader's coffin. Besides, didn't the clan leader say that during the day, Chen Xiaoyou was his savior and also the savior of the entire clan. My benefactor, I think he should have some privileges.”
At this moment, Huang Ming also echoed.
In the end, Yuan Xiang did not stop me again, and I approached the coffin.
Then, I put my hand on the coffin and slowly closed my eyes. Of course, I was not taking a nap, but contacting Wang Huayu.
"What do you feel, Wang Huayu? Is there a dead body in this coffin? Is the state in front of the dead body not the fourth level?"
I asked aloud.
My perception is keen, but not as sharp as that of a spiritual body like Wang Huayu. Maybe she can discover something different.
Wang Huayu quickly responded to me and said: "Yes! I can feel that there is a corpse in the coffin! And there is a unique aura of a fourth-grade cultivator in it. The dead body in the coffin is most likely to be a fourth-grade cultivator. "
I frowned. Why was Wang Huayu's discovery so different from mine?
Then, I asked: "Then why didn't I feel the energy of death just now?"
Wang Huayu fell silent, seeming to be thinking.
After a moment, Wang Huayu responded to me and said, "There is a possibility that the situation you mentioned may occur after the death of a fourth-grade cultivator."
"What's possible?" I asked immediately.
"What is the fourth level? When they reach the fourth level, they are not just limited to using Qi machines. They are more like completely integrated with any breath in this world. Qi machines are the most original breath, and they are more like The origin itself..."
"After the death of a fourth-grade cultivator, their physical body will not only emit the most basic death energy, but after a long period of time after death, his physical body will also decompose and dissipate an aura similar to qi machine. This kind of Breath is one of the most important components of the body of a fourth-grade cultivator, and it is called rootless air."
"You can't feel the rootless energy. Even if you are in this physical body, you can't feel it unless you are in the fourth level. Just now you felt that there was no death energy emanating from it. Maybe it was the dead body that was decomposing and emitting the rootless energy. gas."
"And when the rootless energy completely disappears from the body of the fourth-grade cultivator, the body of the fourth-grade cultivator after death will become an empty shell, no different from ordinary people, and even worse than the dead bodies of ordinary people. Be empty.”
Wang Huayu said slowly.
I'm not surprised why Wang Huayu can know the secret of the fourth-grade cultivator. She has received all the memories of Queen Yu. It's not surprising that she can know this.
My focus at this time was not on the so-called "rootless energy", but on immediately grasping a key point in Wang Huayu's words.
I said in a deep voice: "You mean, this rootless energy can only be emitted from the body of a fourth-grade cultivator after a period of time after death?"
"Yes! It can take anywhere from a few months to a few years for this rootless energy to emit from the corpse of a fourth-grade cultivator. Moreover, this rootless energy will emit for a particularly long time, and occasionally a trace of it will emit. Lu, this time depends on how strong the fourth-grade person is in front of him. At the shortest time, he will emit the rootless energy for at least several decades, and at the longest time, it may last up to a hundred years."
Wang Huayu slowly explained.
My face is a little frozen...
It would take at least several months of death for this to happen.
But Yuan Zhengfa obviously died just yesterday.
According to Wang Huayu, the person lying in the coffin is indeed a fourth-grade cultivator, but it is definitely not Yuan Zhengfa, but a fourth-grade practitioner who has died long ago!
And then, I asked: "Just now I observed carefully, why do I feel that there is nothing in this coffin? It seems like an empty coffin?"
"That's because the rootless energy inside the fourth-grade cultivator's corpse is about to decompose and dissipate. I just said that when the rootless energy is about to dissipate, the corpse will be like an empty shell."
Wang Huayu explained to me, and then, after pondering for a while, she said: "I estimate that the fourth-grade man inside should be very powerful, not an ordinary fourth-grade man. Let me tell you, once a cultivator reaches the fifth-grade Grade, there are also subdivided grades. There may be a big gap between the fifth grade and above cultivators of the same grade, and the corpse in front of him should be the peak fourth grade..."
I had expected this. Wang Kang had said at the beginning that Yuan Jing was not an ordinary fifth grade, but the pinnacle of the fifth grade.
When I felt Yuan Jing's qi machine before, I could also find that because Yuan Jing's qi machine was so huge, the gap between it and the sixth grade could not be described as a sky or an earth.
And with this exaggerated gap, how can a sixth-grade person reach Yuan Jing's level in one step? I'm afraid the path to take is far beyond my imagination.
Then, Wang Huayu said something that shocked me: "So, for such a powerful fourth-grade person, the rootless energy of his body will disappear after death. I am afraid that the person in the coffin has been dead for at least a hundred years!"
A century old corpse!
