Kong Ju found a secret door at the location where the red-haired corpse first appeared.
After pushing it open.
A strong, pungent smell hit Kong Jue the moment he opened the door, causing him to step back slightly.
"Corpse gas!" Although this corpse gas is not fatal, it is also poisonous. Kong Ju waited for a while, and after the smell dissipated a little, he walked in leisurely.
There is a small space inside.
The first thing that caught Kong Qi's eyes was the corpse of an old man sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room.
There was no flesh on his cheeks, he was so thin that he was just skin and bones, and his gray hair was tied up in a bun.
She wore a blue pleated long skirt with a waistband in front and back, and the fabric and the hat on her head were covered with silver ornaments.
Judging from the exotic clothing the body was wearing, this person did not seem to be from the Wudong area.
For some unknown reason, the old man's body showed no signs of decay.
Even though there was no sign of life and it was just a corpse lying there, there was still a sense of oppression that made Kong Jue feel a little stuffy in his chest.
Kong Ju had come into contact with the bald disciple who had reached the peak of Yanglun. Yanglun alone could not give him this feeling.
Therefore, the old man's realm is about to emerge.
"The rumors that Senior Brother Feng An heard are true. He is indeed a cultivator in the Shenglun realm." Kong Ju thought.
"I'm afraid only a Shenglun monk can ensure that his body will not decay after his death."
After thinking about it, Kong Ju began to look at the old man carefully. After confirming that he had no injuries, he judged: "He is not a monk from Wudong, and he has no injuries. It seems that he died of old age."
As he spoke, Kong Ju still bowed carefully to the old man's body and said respectfully, "I'm sorry!"
Then Kong Ju's eyes were fixed accurately in front of the old man, in front of the place where he was sitting cross-legged.
A turquoise essence of heaven and earth, emitting a creepy glow.
It should be that the essence of heaven and earth absorbed by this Shenglun monk before his death seeped out of his body with his death.
"Gathering Yin Corpse Qi!" Kong Ju softly read out the name of the essence of heaven and earth.
The gathering of Yin corpse energy ranks 249th among the essences of heaven and earth in terms of human character.
The birth conditions are somewhat similar to those of Yuehua Yinshuang. It was also bred in a burial ground with many dead bodies, but not as harsh.
By absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, the body can become as hard as iron.
The disadvantage is that people who use this wheel of nurturing essence from heaven and earth feel somewhat uncomfortable with sunlight, and are particularly afraid of Taoist magic of fire nature.
In general, it is a rare essence of heaven and earth for those who focus on strengthening their bodies.
"It is very suitable for Senior Brother Feng An." Kong Ju smiled. Feng An just happened to have not absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, so this trip could be considered his chance.
As he spoke, Kong Ju's gaze shifted away from the gathered Yin corpse energy and looked at the remaining three items.
There were two black jade slips and a letter.
Before the old man died, he placed them neatly in front of him, obviously intending to leave them for future generations.
"This senior is quite a particular person!" Kong Ju said, and bowed to the old man again.
For safety reasons, he first wrapped his palms with the gauze of the Hanyisixue technique, then picked up the two jade slips and put his consciousness into examining them.
One of them recorded a strange martial art called "Golden Sound Spirit Refining Method".
There are obvious differences between the Wudong cultivation method that Kong Jue came into contact with.
Kong Ju did not delve into it further. He glanced at it briefly and picked up the second jade slip.
The second jade slip is a kind of Taoist magic, which also reveals strangeness everywhere.
It's called "God's Puppetry".
It is a method of controlling and refining puppets.
Be it martial arts or Taoist techniques, they are not Wudong's inheritance.
Combined with his strange clothing, Kong Ju made a rough guess.
Kong Ju has Ge Xia's memories of more than twenty years, which complement the knowledge accumulated in the Miscellaneous Book Building. Now his experience is incomparable to that of ordinary cultivators.
He quickly found information that matched the old man's origins and whispered the name of a region: "Gujiang!"
The distance between that place and Wudong is not tens of thousands of miles, but millions of miles. It takes a cultivator at the Shenglun realm a year and a half to catch up, and a cultivator at the Yanglun realm may take ten to twenty years to arrive.
It is rumored that the cultivation techniques practiced by the monks in that area are extremely special and focus on refining spiritual consciousness.
Generally speaking, for Wudong cultivators, the spiritual consciousness that can be condensed only at the Shenglun realm can be condensed at the Yanglun realm through special techniques.
Moreover, in the Yanglun realm, one can skillfully master the witchcraft related to spiritual consciousness. Compared with the cultivators who mainly cultivate the Linglun, these are two completely different directions of cultivation.
The spiritual consciousness is invisible, which makes their attack methods extremely strange. It is difficult for cultivators of the same level to defend against them when they are caught off guard.
Therefore, the cultivators in various regions called the practitioners in that area "Wu Xiu".
However, because they only focus on cultivating spiritual consciousness, the shortcomings of witch practitioners in other aspects are also obvious.
Once the true body is discovered, it can be easily killed by monks who practice spiritual wheels.
"No wonder the silver bell's attack was so strange. It turned out to be a magic weapon of the witch. It must be an attack of spiritual consciousness." Kong Ju suddenly realized.
I just don't know why this witch cultivator at the Shenglun realm would come all the way from Gujiang to Wudong and die here.
While thinking, Kong Ju turned his gaze to the last thing, the letter.
The geographical gap also leads to some significant differences in the writing systems of both sides.
Fortunately, this witch cultivator was also proficient in Wudong characters, so the letter was also written in two languages. This was why Kong Ju was able to understand the skills and Taoist techniques in the two jade slips.
It’s just that his writing style is very strange, and the order of the words makes the sentences not smooth.
I think he has a rough understanding of Wudong characters, but is not proficient in them.
But Kong Ju only needed to read the key points between the sentences to roughly understand what he wanted to express.
The old man's name is Xianyu Yanhe, and he is the eldest grandson of the chief of the Jinming tribe.
Later, the clan leader died suddenly. His father was supposed to inherit the position of clan leader, but his second uncle and the elders of the same clan conspired against him and he was defeated and killed in the battle for the throne.
At that time, he was only at the sixth level of general knowledge, which was roughly the same strength as the sixth level of Yanglun.
He traveled for more than ten years, avoiding being hunted down by his tribesmen.
Only then did I come to Wudong.
It took another thirty years to successfully condense the divine orifice, which is the realm of ascension.
Xianyu Yanhe had also thought about returning to Gujiang to fight back.
Judging from the implicit meaning in his letter, it seems that there is a powerful person in the realm of life in the Jinming tribe who suppresses all directions.
Having failed in his bid for the throne, he had no choice but to go back and die.
Without the resources for cultivation, Xian Yu Yanhe's own aptitude was not impressive, and he was unable to break through the shackles of Palm Life.
He lived to be 279 years old and died of depression.
He never set foot in Gujiang in his life.
Before his death, he left behind the highest inheritance of the Jinming tribe, "Jinming Spirit Refining Method" and "Spiritual Puppet Refining Method", to the destined people in the future.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
There is also the Soul-Calming Bell, which is also one of the most precious treasures of the Jinming tribe and is said to be a powerful spiritual weapon.
Only those who practice the Jinming Shenlian method can unleash its full power.
"A powerful weapon infused with spirit!" After reading this, Kong Ju's eyes flickered and his breathing gradually became heavy.
If what he guessed was correct, the important soul-infused weapon was the silver bell that he snatched after killing the red-haired corpse.
That is a treasure that is hard to come by even for cultivators at the Ascension Wheel Realm. Every piece that can be called a spirit-infused weapon has unpredictable power.
At the same time, it can also explain why the red-haired corpse, with such weak strength, was able to build the strange town that made people shudder according to folk rumors.
It completely relies on the magic of that spirit-infused weapon.
After calming down, Kong Ju continued to read the words in the letter.
Xianyu Yanhe said that those who accepted his inheritance were also affected by his karma.
It would be fine when his cultivation is low, but once his cultivation reaches the Palm Life realm, the Palm Life masters of the Jinming tribe will definitely sense it and lock on to his location.
It is very likely that he will cross a distance of millions of miles to kill him and take back the Soul-Calming Bell.
If one day, my successor really has that strength, I hope he can fight back to Gujiang, take back the position of clan leader, and pass it on to his descendants.
Xianyu Yanhe even took the initiative to ask his successor to refine his body into a puppet so that he could fight bravely even after his death.
In this regard, Kong Ju's evaluation of him was that he was a ruthless person.
He wanted to select people with extraordinary qualifications who were qualified to inherit his Jinming clan's inheritance.
Before he died, he specially raised a red corpse, and every twenty years it would go out to select people with suitable qualifications.
Only those who are born with strong spiritual awareness can resist the attack of the Red Corpse and reach his tomb.
Seeing this, Kong Ju's face suddenly became extremely strange.
This old man's way of selecting his successor is as cruel as ever.
Over the years, the number of people who died at Chi Shi's hands is probably more than those killed by Han Dong.
It's almost become a folk horror story.
"Poor Senior Brother Feng." Kong Ju subconsciously mourned for Feng An. He almost suffered an unprovoked disaster.
Maybe he wasn't someone who was born with a strong spiritual sense. He just practiced the Moon Seal and had the ability to resist spiritual attacks.
After reading the letter, Kong Ju lowered his head and pondered silently.
He was considering whether or not to learn this damn "Golden Sound Spirit Refining Method".
Obviously, what the old man wrote in the letter was not a lie. The powerful ones, especially the witches, specialized in practicing spiritual awareness and had extremely sharp perceptions.
If I learn his inheritance, I'm afraid it will really attract the powerful person in charge of his tribe.
After all, a spirit-infused weapon is something that even the most powerful of beings cannot refuse.
By then, it will inevitably be a fight to the death.
However, Kong Ju looked at the letter again with a shrewd look.
"The letter said that only when a cultivator reaches the Palm Life realm can they be sensed, proving that it is still safe before the Palm Life realm."
This is undoubtedly good news.
Palm students are not common people, and there are only a handful of powerful palm students in Wudong.
Whether I can control my life in this lifetime is still a question.
If one day I could achieve a breakthrough, I wouldn't necessarily be afraid of the powerful Zhangsheng in his tribe.
In this way, the risk is much smaller.
At least before Kong Jue arrived, there was no need to consider the risks of this matter.
If you really reach the realm of life, it would not be a bad idea to go to Gujiang and fulfill the old man's long-cherished wish.
Thinking of this, Kong Ju took out the silver bell hanging around his waist, his eyes full of heat.
“A powerful spirit-infused weapon!”
Its power can increase a cultivator's combat power by several times.
Unfortunately, in order to unleash its full power, one must practice the "Golden Ringing Spirit Refining Method".
Furthermore, a tribe that can have a powerful person who can control life is probably no weaker than the Cangwu Sect.
By analogy, the inherited skills in this tribe are probably no weaker than the three top inheritances of the Cangwu Sect.
Kong Ju was ultimately unable to resist this temptation.
"make a deal!"
With a grit of teeth, Kong Ju stuffed the "Golden Sound Soul Refining Method" and the "Spiritual Puppet Refining Method" into the storage bag.
Then he kowtowed heavily towards the old man's body and said solemnly, "Senior, I am performing the etiquette of master and disciple. Although you are not my master, I am worthy of my respect as I have inherited your legacy."
