Chapter 113

Seeing the picture of beasts...

Cheng Hui understood the nervousness when a long-awaited thing was about to be realized. He did not deliberately keep people in suspense and directly took out the picture of a hundred beasts.

The moment he saw the Picture of a Hundred Beasts, the tiger village chief's face turned red with excitement, and his paws were shaking as he took the Picture of a Hundred Beasts.

Cheng Hui couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he rolled up the painting and stuffed it into his claws, allowing him to successfully get the painting.

"It's this picture, that's it..." said the Tiger Village Chief excitedly.

"That's good, then our deal is done, right?" Cheng Hui asked.

"It's done, it's done, thank you so much!" Village Chief Tiger patted Cheng Hui's back hard, as if he couldn't express his gratitude otherwise.

Cheng Hui had a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart. It was all thanks to his zombie body's super strong defense. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be beaten to the point of vomiting blood.

"Let's go back!" Lao Hu pulled Cheng Hui and was about to take him back to the village. Then he paused and suddenly turned around to look at Cheng Hui: "No, why is there one person missing?"

"Qingyang encountered some problems and left early. Don't worry about him."

"Oh, that's good." Village chief Tiger didn't think much about it. After greeting the village chiefs of other villages, he took Cheng Hui away.

Not long after they left, more people came out of the black tower one after another. Some of them were happy, while others were sad. Everyone had different gains, but overall it was pretty good.

Relying on the backup plan he had left in advance, the weasel village chief successfully obtained a lot of benefits from Huiling. He was well versed in the method of giving a sweet reward after giving a good one, and generously shared some information about the owner of the ancient tomb with Huiling, and even gave several possible places where the owner's remains might be.

Hui Ling was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he still resented the weasel village chief for secretly harming them, he knew that now was not the time for revenge. He could only hold it in and wait for another opportunity to retaliate in the future.

According to the weasel village chief, the most likely place for the remains is far away from here. The point where they entered the ancient tomb was not very good, so they landed around the village. Others might have already arrived there. If they want to gain something, they naturally have to leave as soon as possible.

In addition to Hui Ling, the two disciples of Liuguang Sword Sect also received similar news and left one after another.

All this happened after Cheng Hui left, and he was completely unaware of it. However, at this time, he also got some information from the mouth of the Tiger Village Chief, some completely different information.

"Let me leave?"

"Yes, the sooner the better." Village chief Tiger has handed the Beast Map to the elder who was also so excited that he was about to faint. After such a long time on the road, he has basically calmed down.

Cheng Hui frowned. It had been agreed before that he would retrieve the Hundred Beasts Map for the village chief, and the village chief wanted to share some information about the ancient tomb with him. Now... he wanted to return?

But he thought again and felt that it was not necessary. He felt that he got along well with the people in the village. Even if the village chief and his companions were all good actors, those children would not follow them in acting, right?

At the very least, after Lin Qingyang shaved their heads bald, the children cried miserably, and it didn't seem like they were pretending.

The children's personalities reveal the environment they live in. No matter how you look at it, Tiger Village Chief doesn't seem like someone who would go back on his word.

On the other hand, since Tiger Village Chief doesn't seem like a bad guy, his words of consolation are quite interesting.

"Can you give me an explanation?" Cheng Hui asked calmly.

A glint of admiration flashed in the eyes of the Tiger Village Chief. He was worthy of being the one who could help them bring back the Picture of a Hundred Beasts. He and the elders had originally just wanted to give it a try, but they had not expected that they would actually succeed.

The prophecy turned out to be true!

The Tiger Village Chief organized his words and Cheng Hui listened quietly.

According to the village chief Tiger, this ancient tomb was indeed left by their ancestors, but according to the records of the tribe, that ancestor was no simple person.

As a casual cultivator, his character is both good and evil, and the biggest characteristic of his character is that he will never let go of any grudge.

Would a person with this kind of personality be so kind as to wait for others to dig up his grave?

Impossible... Cheng Hui gave the answer in his heart.

The tiger village chief who asked the question also gave the same answer, and this answer was most likely verified by their ancestor who could speak language.

Cheng Hui was stunned. "You mean... if no one finds that senior's remains, it's fine. But if someone does find them, it will cause some kind of abnormal change?"

The Tiger Village Chief gave him a meaningful look: "It's not a mutation, but revenge, the kind that will make you die without a complete body."

Cheng Hui: ...

How can you take revenge when the person is dead?

Oh yes, this is the world of cultivation. People may not be completely dead after death. Doesn’t his case count as resurrection from the dead?

Of course, the senior should be completely dead, but that didn't stop him from setting some traps in advance to trap those who came to dig his grave.

Emmmm...If you think about it this way, it seems that these people who come to dig graves are indeed very dishonest.

Eh? That's not right. His original intention was just to gain some benefits, not to actually dig up someone's grave.

After figuring this out, Cheng Hui suddenly felt refreshed.

Yes, he wanted to gain benefits, but these benefits did not include the remains of that predecessor - even if the remains of an immortal could be worth a top-grade magic weapon of the heavenly grade, this was a matter of principle.

Village chief Tiger also told him that these things were written in the records left by the prophet ancestor of their village. It is hard to say whether they are accurate or to what extent. If Cheng Hui insists, he can also share with him the possible location of the predecessor's remains.

Cheng Hui thought for a moment and asked, "How do you know where the remains of that senior might be?"

The Tiger Village Chief grinned and said, "Because it has been passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors."

Cheng Hui: ...Very good, the trap is confirmed.

As the saying goes, listen to advice and you will have a full meal. Cheng Hui felt that it would be better for him not to take the risk.

Just thinking of Zhang Yifan, he hesitated. He could give up everything, but what about Zhang Yifan and the others? If they went, would they also be deceived?

He didn't think that the ancestor would worry about endangering other innocent people when setting such a trap.

After thinking about it, he decided to go to those places. If he was lucky, he might run into Zhang Yifan and the others. He could then explain everything. Even if he didn't, as long as he was close enough, he could use the sound transmission talisman to notify them.

After getting the instructions for leaving from the Tiger Village Chief, Cheng Hui asked in confusion before leaving, why did they continue to stay here if they had such an instructions.

The Tiger Village Chief smiled kindly. He said that the people in their village have become accustomed to the life here, and that with their current condition, they might not be able to live well in the outside world, so it would be better for them to stay here.

Cheng Hui did not interfere with their choice. In the world of cultivation, weakness is the original sin, not to mention that all the people in the village exist in animal form. If they really go to the outside world, it would be easy for the righteous side to deal with them, but the evil cultivators might capture them and slice them up for research.

He never overestimates the moral integrity of those demon cultivators.

After bidding farewell to the village chief, Cheng Hui followed the direction he pointed out and quickly found the first place where the immortal's remains might exist.

There was a desert there, very similar to the desert they encountered when they first entered the ancient tomb.

In view of his own experience, Cheng Hui did not approach blindly, but circled around the periphery of the desert and tried to activate the sound transmission note.

Fortunately, he was lucky and successfully contacted several disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect, but unfortunately Zhang Yifan was not among them.

As a refined corpse, Cheng Hui is both familiar and unfamiliar with these disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect.

He said he was familiar with them because he followed Lin Qingyang all day long. When Lin Qingyang interacted with these people, he would watch from the side and he knew them quite well.

The reason why they say they are not familiar with him is that in the eyes of others, he is just a refined corpse with incomplete intelligence. Who would make friends with a refined corpse for no reason?

He thought about it and always felt that it might not be appropriate to contact these people with his own identity, so he simply entered the consciousness space, took out the sound transmission note contaminated with Lin Qingyang's information, and then sent the message out.

As for whether these people would believe the message after it was sent out, he didn't care.

There are countless opportunities in the world of cultivation. He thinks that in places that are dangerous and cannot be approached, someone might be able to gain great benefits.

After visiting several places, Cheng Hui always followed the principle of not getting too close and not causing trouble. It was not until he reached the fourth place that he finally found Zhang Yifan.

He talked a little more about Zhang Yifan, and even picked out his experiences with Lin Qingyang.

Not long after he sent out the sound transmission note, he saw Zhang Yifan running out from a glacier. The moment he saw him, he showed a surprised expression.

"Why is it you? Where's Qingyang?"

"Qingyang got the opportunity to go into seclusion to practice, and I came out to walk in his place." Cheng Hui gave this answer. This was the result of his previous discussion with Lin Qingyang.

After all, two people came, but one of them disappeared, but his refined corpse was still fine. This is abnormal no matter how you look at it.

In order to prevent Cheng Hui from being mistaken for a monster, the two of them specially made up an excuse to rescue Cheng Hui so that others would not think that this corpse had rebelled or something.

After hearing what Cheng Hui said, Zhang Yifan's expression was indescribable.

He had only heard of monks collecting refined corpses and walking around outside, but he had never seen it done upside down.

But he was very clear about Cheng Hui's identity, and Lin Qingyang had also subtly expressed that his own corpse was special and very smart, and could even act on his own when necessary.

At that time, Zhang Yifan thought that Lin Qingyang might be too eager for her fiancé to come back to life, so she had some kind of hallucination. After all, Cheng Hui usually behaved like a mentally retarded person who could only make noises. Who would have thought that what he said was actually true..._(:з」∠)_

"So... you are always pretending?" Zhang Yifan asked with difficulty.

Cheng Hui: "...You can say that." Although at first he could only say "Aba Aba", but this kind of thing should not be said out loud... →. →

"Oh, I knew that the junior brother that Master accepted must be extraordinary, but I didn't expect that even his corpse refining is so... different." Zhang Yifan sighed, feeling that all his decades of practice had been in vain.

Especially looking at Cheng Hui who looked like an ordinary person, and then thinking about his own natal Xuan corpse which was still a little naive, this tragic contrast——

——I’m so angry!
