Chapter 166: Corpse Farm

Opening an inn in the Yinsha Forest? No normal person would do that. But this is a place for evil cultivators, so it is possible to meet two abnormal people.

The two walked to the inn one after the other.

This is a pure wooden inn with a vermilion door and two blood-red lanterns hanging on both sides. The left lantern says "previous life" and the right lantern says "next life". The horizontal plaque of the inn reads "this life inn".

"The past and future are at the door, the inn only asks about the present life."

The scholar Ning Chenye next to him said something inexplicably.

Chen Luo glanced at him and said nothing. Instead, he walked forward and knocked on the wooden door. Such an inn located in the old forest must have its special features and is worth seeing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as my hand touched it, the wooden door opened.

Squeak

The red candlelight shone from inside, and standing outside the door, one could see the noisy scene in the inn. The whole room was filled with guests laughing and talking happily. There was a stage in the main hall in front of the hall, with a gauze curtain hanging on the high stage. Inside, there was a graceful woman playing the piano and singing.

The singing they heard outside earlier was sung by the woman on the stage.

“So many people?”

Chen Luo did not go in directly, but sensed the door. His spiritual sense swept over, and the only feedback he got was the evil energy that filled the air, so dense that it was almost tangible. All the guests exuded evil energy, and there was not a single normal person.

"Master, shall we go in and take a look?"

Ning Chenye swallowed his saliva, staring at the delicacies on the table, his stomach growling. After a day of traveling, he only ate dry food with cold water in the morning. Now seeing so many delicacies, he couldn't help himself.

But this scholar was not stupid. He still held the talisman given to him by Mr. Bai in his hand. Only after confirming that the talisman had not changed did he dare to ask.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Chen Luo walked in first, he really wanted to see what the evil cultivators in Yinsha Forest were doing. He was wearing the robes "contributed" by Elder An, and he was very confident.

After entering the inn, the coldness outside was immediately dispelled.

The coming of the two people did not attract anyone's attention. The drinkers continued to eat their delicious food, drink, play drinking games, and quarreled with each other until their faces turned red.

"Sir, are you staying at the inn or eating? Do you want to call two girls? The girls in our Jinsheng Inn are all top-notch beauties."

A woman in red, covered in dust, walked out. She had a graceful figure and fair skin. She was a stunning beauty at first glance. The only discordant part was her face! Her smiling face gave people a stiff and inharmonious feeling, like a deliberately trained fake face.

Chen Luo stared at the man. Strangely, when his spiritual sense swept over him, he still saw a normal person.

'Non-human, alien, unconscious.'

The Jindan brain in the external brain suddenly popped up and gave a feedback.

'Strange painted monsters - Monsters in Strange Tales. Fearful of thunder, cannibalism.'

Compared to the brain of a Jindan cultivator, the feedback given by the mummy brain was more accurate. The mummy brain could remember almost everything it read, and understood it at a glance, as if it had seen it before in life.

Outlier?

Chen Luo didn't say anything.

"Give me a bowl of hot porridge."

Ning Chenye, who was standing next to him, saw that Chen Luo didn't say anything, so he took out the copper coins and said, "He was really hungry. Seeing the guests over there eating so happily, he didn't want to endure it anymore. I don't know what's going on in this inn. After entering, the hunger was magnified, and even the most basic dangers were ignored."

"So you are the diners. Please come this way."

The innkeeper led the two of them to sit down in the empty seat next to them.

Soon, someone came over with two bowls of white porridge and considerately added two plates of pickles.

Ning Chenye couldn't hold back any longer after picking up the hot porridge, so he picked up his chopsticks and prepared to eat. But when he saw that Chen Luo didn't move, he forced himself to ask despite his hunger.

"Master, why don't you eat?"

“Not hungry.”

Chen Luo looked at the porridge in front of him. Whether it was his consciousness or vision, he saw normal porridge. Even the external brain did not give any feedback. This was something beyond his knowledge, and the external brain could not create something out of nothing.

Patter.

The thunder outside finally stopped, and the rain poured down. After being blocked by the leaves of the Yinsha Forest, the falling rain turned into a drizzle. Chen Luo looked out the window and saw the fleeting black shadow again. This time he saw it clearly. It was a humanoid hairy monster, somewhat like the black-haired zombie of the Corpse Cultivation Sect.

Ning Chenye finally couldn't help it, he picked up the porridge and started eating.

The porridge was warm and refreshing, and I felt much more energetic. The two free pickles tasted great, sour, crispy and sweet.

"It tastes really good, Immortal, are you sure you don't want to eat it?"

Ning Chenye's eyes fell on the white porridge in front of Chen Luo. He felt that he was not full and could eat more.

“Are there any immortal cultivators in Black Wolf City?”

"Yes! Mr. Bai is a cultivator." Ning Chenye nodded.

Seeing that Chen Luo did not refuse, he took the bowl of porridge in front of Chen Luo. After drinking two bowls of porridge, his spirits suddenly improved, and he felt warm and full.

"Can you show me the spell?"

Chen Luo suddenly spoke.

"this"

Ning Chenye hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement. He took out his sachet and handed the triangular talisman inside to Chen Luo.

Chen Luo picked up the talisman and placed it in the palm of his hand. After observing it for a moment with his spiritual sense, his eyes fluctuated, and then he returned the talisman to Ning Chenye with an expressionless face.

"I will not mind the poverty, I will promise you my whole life, I will promise you my golden branches and jade leaves"

The woman playing the piano on the stage began to sing again, her voice still in that sad tone. The sad and beautiful piano music suppressed the noise of the inn and instantly became the protagonist of the restaurant. Chen Luo glanced over there and then stood up.

"Master? It's still raining outside. Won't you wait until the rain stops?"

Ning Chenye didn't want to leave. His eyes were also attracted by the singer on the stage. For some reason, he was moved the moment he saw the singer.

That heart-pounding feeling seemed to have existed in my previous life.

It’s just that I have forgotten in this life.

"No, a little drizzle is nothing."

Chen Luo walked to the door of the inn, looked back at Ning Chenye, and perhaps out of kindness, he reminded the other party.

"This place is not very clean, so be careful."

Chen Luo took another look at the other drinkers in the inn and walked into the rain without looking back.

Inside the inn, the guests were still eating and drinking and making a lot of noise.

Acting as if no one is around.

"Not clean?"

Ning Chenye looked at Chen Luo walking into the rain, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then he looked down at the amulet in his hand, and was relieved to see that the amulet itself was still emitting a faint light. Compared with this strange immortal, he was more willing to believe Mr. Bai.

“Isn’t this quite clean?”

He scanned the inn for a long time but didn't see anything dirty. At this moment, the white gauze on the stage was blown by the wind, revealing the face of the singer playing the piano behind her. This scene made Ning Chenye feel like he was struck by lightning.

"Ping'er."

He shouted out two words subconsciously, and walked towards the stage involuntarily. At this moment, the noisy sounds in the entire inn faded away, leaving only the woman playing the piano attentively.

Chen Luo walked out of the inn.

It wasn't raining outside.

"really."

A sense of enlightenment arose in Chen Luo's heart.

Looking back, the scene in the inn was still noisy, and the drinkers inside were still drinking and playing finger-guessing games. The difference was that this time there was one more person inside, a silly scholar standing in the audience, looking at the singing girl on the stage with a silly look on his face.

'Neither alive nor dead, neither living nor dead, the soul cannot leave the past.'

An idea suddenly popped into the mummy's brain.

Chen Luo sensed something was wrong the moment he took the amulet. Ning Chenye had a connection with the woman in the inn, but he didn't know what it was, but when he picked up the amulet, he could clearly feel the inn singer's gaze.

The glimpse of divine consciousness!

After Chen Luo established his foundation, it was the first time he encountered a being with a spiritual consciousness comparable to his, which also made him realize the problem of his current existence. The most direct one was the realm. The initial stage of foundation building was not enough to run rampant in the evil cultivation area. At least the girl playing the zither there was stronger than him.

"If you want to break through the middle stage of foundation building, according to the current 'Heart Demon Sutra', it will take at least twenty years to practice, or even longer. If you are unlucky, it is possible to stay in the early stage of foundation building for your whole life."

Chen Luo is very clear about his current cultivation status.

Not only him, but most of the foundation-building cultivators in the Seven Kingdoms region are facing this problem. After building the foundation, the skills are no longer sufficient. Chen Luo was lucky to obtain the "Heart Demon Art". However, the "Heart Demon Art" of Wuwei Zhenren was not very compatible with his nature, and the speed of cultivation was very slow.

"Once we find a place to raise corpses, we need to find a place to improve our cultivation."

After leaving the inn, the light faded away again.

Chen Luo continued walking along the path for two days. After two days, Chen Luo finally reached the end of the Yinsha Forest and saw the light outside.

The target of the inn's zither-playing girl was only Ning Chenye. Chen Luo and Ning Chenye separated, so the other party naturally stopped making things difficult for him. As both were foundation-building cultivators, Chen Luo was afraid of the other party, and how could the other party not be afraid of him?

After leaving the Yinsha Forest, there is a swamp outside.

The poisonous miasma inside condensed into bubbles and kept coming out. About three hundred meters ahead, there was a pool of water emitting cold mist. The thick evil energy condensed into water, affecting all life in the area.

As for places further away, Chen Luo did not plan to go over and explore. This swamp was another place where evil cultivators lived. It was okay to stay at the edge, but if he went deeper, he would get into trouble. These were all described in detail in the information he purchased.

Flying above the pool, Chen Luo took out a spirit stone and threw it in.

hiss

The spirit stone melts instantly after entering the water. This amount of spiritual energy can be simply ignored for the evil spirit breeding ground.

“The strength is OK.”

Chen Luo estimated the strength of the evil spirit. The concentration of the evil spirit in this evil pit is three times that of the mass grave outside Mushan City. It is definitely a good place to keep corpses.

It's just that this kind of place is too dangerous and has too many unstable factors. If you raise corpses here, you may not be able to get them back. But Chen Luo was prepared. He mobilized the brain of the newly acquired array master and asked him to assist his brother in hanging himself.

The two formation masters' brains worked together and they instantly found a suitable location to set up the formation.

'Southwest direction, northeast node.'

'At 3:30 pm, set up the battle formation!'

"rise!"

Chen Luo landed on a tree and slapped his storage bag with one hand.

Seven formation flags flew out from inside. The index finger pointed at the tip of the flag. Seven black lights mixed with spirit stones hit the ground and soon merged with the soil.

Buzz!!

A simple first-level formation was set up. After the formation was formed, with the cold pond as the center, the entire area was covered by a light curtain, and even the evil spirit inside no longer floated out.

Chen Luo flew into the formation and stepped on the node of the formation. With his other hand, he took out the body of the Jindan cultivator from the corpse bag.

As the corpse of the Jindan cultivator emerged, the evil spirit of the entire cold pond began to churn. Fortunately, there was a formation blocking it outside, and after churning for a while, it calmed down.
