Chen Luo discovered he could scavenge the minds of the dead.
So he went to a graveyard and scavenge the brain of a deceased Great Emperor, figuring he’d borrow it for a bit.
While other...
Chen Luo and Zhao Qi waited quietly beside him, and the white-clothed male cultivator did not come to provoke him. He stepped directly into the gap when the shadow left.
The male cultivator in white seemed to have found some kind of pattern as well. Not long after Chen Luo and Zhao Qi entered, he followed them into the garden gate.
The inner courtyard is not big, only about a hundred square meters in total.
A white jade path divided it, with some exotic flowers and plants on the left and right sides. There was an unknown species of tree growing near the inner wall, with densely packed fruits hanging below. These fruits were like human palms, with five fingers of different shapes, some with fists, and some with five fingers spread out, like playing finger-guessing, very strange.
'The Yinsha fruit tree, the tree of rebirth.'
In the external brain, an idea came up from one of the brains that was proficient in spiritual plants. When the eyes swept over other places, corresponding information also emerged.
Chen Luo recognized most of these rare spiritual materials from the outside world at just one glance.
"Even the immortal consciousness can't see through it. This formation really has some tricks."
"Without some tricks, how can you possibly marry into the Imperial Clan?"
Chen Luo walked on the jade path, with a faint fairy light all around him. Zhao Qi followed behind him, revealing the illusion of a puppet. The whole person was like a dead object, without any breath.
Suddenly, a soft sound was heard.
Chen Luo stopped walking, and a crack appeared in the middle of the jade pendant that the head of the Wu family had given them. The rebirth tree next to him suddenly shook, and the palms on it all opened, waving at Chen Luo in the middle of the jade path. The jade path under his feet inexplicably stretched dozens of times, and even the garden gate in the distance became a little blurry. The exotic flowers and plants in the flowerbed began to grow wildly, and the messy vines spread over the jade path like poisonous snakes, entwining Chen Luo and Zhao Qi.
"The formation has changed."
"The authority of the jade token is a bit low."
The fairy light dissipated and turned into a circular area, isolating the vines from the outside. The touched area made a rustling sound, like a poisonous snake coiling around, trying to break through the fairy light's protection and attack the people inside.
Li Hongxiu took off the hairpin on her head and waved her right hand. The tip of the hairpin drew a circle on the ground, isolating the vines outside.
"Evil ghosts, it seems the rumors are true."
Li Hongxiu's eyes flickered, and she stood still without moving. This person was the hairpin female cultivator who first entered the garden.
This garden is like a multi-layered space.
After entering the garden gate, everyone was isolated. Apart from seeing the same scenery, they could not sense each other, not even the immortal consciousness could do it.
hiss
White smoke rose.
Yang Ding was surrounded by withered vines, and his white robe was covered with dust. He held a leaf in one hand, and a hint of medicinal aroma flowed into his nostrils.
"As expected of a family that married into the Imperial Clan, they are really arrogant. All those who are assigned to take on missions must be screened."
Compared to the three powerful men in the true fairyland, the others were in much more miserable condition.
After the group of alchemists rushed into the yard, some of them were abducted by the ghost and used as fertilizer for the flowers, while the others were trapped on the jade path, unable to move forward or backward.
After half an incense stick.
The vines dispersed and the yard returned to normal again.
Chen Luo walked out of the courtyard with Zhao Qi expressionlessly. Outside, Li Hongxiu and Yang Ding had been waiting outside for a long time. In addition to these two people, there was another person who broke out. This person was an old man with a protruding skull. The hair on the top of the head had fallen out, and there was a little white hair on both sides. His cloudy old eyes were half-closed and half-open, as if he was asleep.
"The alchemists are finally here. Mr. Wu has been waiting for a long time."
The head of the Wu family said with a smile in front. His face still had the same humble smile as before, without any change. It was as if what everyone experienced when entering the garden before had nothing to do with him.
"The head of the Wu family is really arrogant."
Being tested like this for no reason, they were naturally in a bad mood. The white-robed monk Yang Ding even scolded them directly. He lost two pills in the garden and was in a very bad mood.
“This is labor pay.”
The head of the Wu family had no intention of explaining. He just waved his hand. Suddenly, five fruits flew in from outside. These fruits were the same color as his palm, golden in color. They were the fruits grown on the tree of rebirth that they had seen in the yard before.
After seeing the palm fruit, the anger of the few people who were still a little bit emotional disappeared, and Yang Ding even smiled. Even Li Hongxiu couldn't help but say thank you.
"Master Wu is generous."
Chen Luo and Zhao Qi each took one, which was considered double profit.
"Everyone please follow me in."
The smile on the face of the head of the Wu family remained.
He turned around and led everyone to the door, then stretched out his hand and pushed it gently.
Squeak
The smell of decay and decay rolled out of the house, and the light shone in, allowing everyone to see the scene inside clearly. There were red tables and chairs, door curtains, and a paper-cut of the word "囍" on the bed. In the corner was a dark red dressing table with a bronze mirror on it and two large mahogany boxes next to it. In the innermost part was a two-meter-wide bed.
A pool of pitch-black mud was wriggling on the bed, and the stench that everyone smelled was coming from this pool of black mud.
"This is."
Although they were mentally prepared, they couldn't help but gasp when they saw the young master of the Wu family inside.
"This is my son Wu Ling."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned. Chen Luo stood at the door, sensing the feedback in his external brain, and finally figured out where the chaotic atmosphere he had sensed at the door came from.
There are nearly twenty spirits on this pool of black mud, and each of them can speak. The faces that keep rising from the bottom of the black mud are the best proof of this.
"I'm sure you've all heard about the marriage between our Wu family and the imperial Zhang family."
The head of the Wu family reached out and gently closed the door.
As the door closed, the light inside disappeared again. The squirming mass on the bed slowly calmed down, and a young man's face emerged from the black mud-like flesh.
"Dad, you came to see me?"
The head of the Wu family ignored the face in the black mud and continued to talk about the relationship between the evil-killing Wu family and the imperial Zhang family.
"Master, please forgive me, I know nothing!"
"Are there guests at home?"
“I’m so cold”
Heini didn't care what the Wu family master said, and tried to get off the bed. But just as he moved, golden restrictions appeared around him. These restrictions were like fishing nets, binding the black mud tightly to the bed, and no matter how he struggled, he couldn't escape.
“I have heard of it.”
Several people withdrew their gazes, and their eyes towards the head of the Wu family changed.
"When the Zhang family married their daughter to me, I also thought it was an opportunity." The head of the Wu family walked to the table and sat down. He picked up the teapot on the table very naturally and poured himself a glass of water.
Judging from his appearance, he must often sit here alone.
Even the water in the teapot was warm.
"But I never expected that the Zhang family was such a big pit."
When it comes to the secrets of the imperial family, the minds of those present became active. The only bald old man who was not in the true fairyland took two steps forward, as if he wanted to figure out the ins and outs of it.
"The Zhang family of the imperial clan has a top-grade immortal weapon. This immortal weapon was left by the Immortal Emperor ancestor of the Zhang family. The name of the immortal weapon is - the River of Rebirth."
The imperial Zhang family, a family that peeks into the power of reincarnation.
When the Zhang family's ancestor was alive, he once broke through the underworld with his own strength, intercepted a dark river from it, and used it as a foundation to refine a magical weapon. This magical weapon is now the Zhang family's clan magic weapon "River of Rebirth".
As the Immortal Emperor's personal weapon, this magical weapon possesses incredible power. It can ignore the number of reincarnations and protect the tribe's immortality.
When the Immortal Emperor was alive, this immortal weapon helped the Zhang family expand their territory and brought supreme glory.
Until the death of the Immortal Emperor, this immortal weapon gradually gained its own consciousness. Since then, this immortal weapon of the Zhang family of the imperial clan has changed. It uses its own influence to continuously influence the Zhang family members and absorb the vitality of the outside world. After tens of thousands of years of erosion, the once beautiful Zhang family land has become a dark land, and the cultivation method of the family members has gradually changed into the evil cultivation method of the dark land.
If it were just that, it would be fine.
There are all kinds of strange techniques in the immortal world, and the evil attributes are nothing. But the immortal weapon of the Zhang family is like a river, constantly spreading outward, and the former "immortality" slowly turned into a curse. All the dead members of the Zhang family became the spirits of the "River of Rebirth". After generations of erosion, the number of people in the Zhang family has become increasingly dwindling.
If the 'River of Rebirth' is allowed to continue eroding like this, it won't be long before the Zhang family, an imperial clan, will be wiped out and their land will be reduced to a river.
In order to solve this problem, the Zhang family thought of many ways.
But none of them worked until four thousand years ago, when a genius appeared in the ninth generation of the Zhang family. This ancestor of the Zhang family possessed an extremely rare Xuanyin physique. With this physique, the ancestor of the Zhang family suppressed the "Xuanyin River" for nearly a thousand years by himself, winning a chance for the Zhang family to breathe.
It’s a pity that the ninth generation ancestor couldn’t survive the immortal weapon ‘River of Rebirth’. After his death, his soul was devoured by the ‘River of Rebirth’, making this already exaggerated immortal weapon even more terrifying.
It was under such circumstances that Wu Ling, the young master of the Wu family, came into the sight of the Zhang family. Wu Ling was not a genius, but like the ninth generation ancestor of the Zhang family, he possessed a Xuanyin physique.
After discovering Wu Ling's special physique, the Zhang family immediately contacted the Wu family.
The two families hit it off immediately, and then the marriage took place.
It's a pity that Wu Ling is not the ninth ancestor of the Zhang family after all. His strength and talent are not as good as the ninth ancestor of the Zhang family. After practicing the skills of the imperial clan Zhang family, Wu Ling went crazy.
Not only that, he also brought the curse that belonged to the Zhang family, the imperial clan, to the Wu family. (End of this chapter)
