Chapter 130 Six Desires of the Heavenly Demon
After leaving Mushan City, the surrounding environment became desolate, with weeds and thorns everywhere, and not even a road.
Fortunately, Chen Luo and the old mummy ghost are not ordinary people. They use their spiritual power to glide in the air and only need to borrow strength from the treetops every once in a while.
"Guoshan County used to be a nice little town. There was a small spiritual mine there, and some small sects took root there."
In mid-air, the old mummy ghost and Chen Luo were talking about the background of Guoshan County.
The clue to the Ningshen Grass in his hands is in Guoshan County.
"And then?"
Chen Luo had finished reading the information on the jade slip and had an understanding of Guoshan County. This place was very strange. When he went to the capital before, he did not see Guoshan County on the map of the She Kingdom's royal family. He did not know whether this place was too small or no longer existed.
"Later, a group of evil cultivators came to Guoshan County, and then it disappeared from the map of Sheguo. The living were gone, and the dead were hard to find."
The old mummy ghost told the news he knew in a flat voice.
Evil cultivator?
Isn’t that the Corpse-Raising Sect?
Chen Luo was a little confused. Judging from the methods currently used by the Corpse-Raising Sect, they had nothing to do with the righteous sect.
"Real evil cultivators are much more bizarre than those of our Corpse-Raising Sect." As if he knew what Chen Luo was thinking, the old mummy ghost in front of him said without turning his head.
"The evil cultivators are best at the art of the soul, illusion, demon and ghost arts."
Chen Luo listened quietly. In terms of knowledge, the old mummy ghost was much more powerful than him. Many of the things he talked about could not be found in books.
"The most we do in the Corpse Cultivation Sect is to refine corpses and dig some graves. Our mainstream practice method is still in line with the mainstream of the immortal cultivation world. But the evil cultivators are different. Their practice method is more like the ancient method, which is incompatible with the modern Qi Refining Method. Their foundation-building method is also different from that of normal immortal cultivators."
"How is it different?"
Chen Luo became excited when he heard about the ancient method. The knowledge he had learned in the Yue Kingdom Tomb was also a kind of ancient method.
"Have you heard of the 'Six Desires of the Heavenly Demon'?"
"No."
Chen Luo thought of the "Heart Demon Technique" taught to him by Wuwei Zhenren, and combined with the soul art that was mainly cultivated on Wudao Peak, he couldn't help but think more about it. Could this evil cultivator from Guoshan County be referring to Wuwei Zhenren, his cheap master?
"This group of evil cultivators in Guoshan County are practicing the 'Six Desires of the Heavenly Demon'. After the cultivators who practice the 'Six Desires of the Heavenly Demon' have perfected the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, they can bypass the restrictions of the Foundation Establishment Pill and build their foundation by absorbing emotional desires."
"Is there any way to circumvent the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Chen Luo couldn't help asking, the problem they were facing now was the difficulty of building the foundation, if there was such a good thing, why didn't the old ghost use it? He had to run around to find the Concentrating Spirit Grass to refine the Foundation Building Pill.
"Eating people builds roads, and the way forward is blocked."
The mummy old ghost said darkly.
"This Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art is not compatible with the current cultivation world. The people who dug out the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art were just a group of casual cultivators. They had no hope of building a foundation, so how could they not practice it after learning about such a magical skill? At that time, there were a total of five people who practiced this skill. After searching for many places, they settled down in Guoshan County, preparing to use the tens of thousands of people in this city to make their "big pill" for promotion."
It was the first time that Chen Luo heard of this secret, which was not recorded in any immortal books.
The real world of cultivating immortals is not as glamorous as it seems on the surface, it is even more cold and ruthless.
"There are six desires: lust, appearance, dignity, speech, smoothness, and appearance. How can ordinary people bear this kind of magical power? In less than half a month, the people in the city lost their minds under the effect of the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art. Ordinary women killed their husbands and buried their children in pursuit of beauty, and changed their skins to become ghosts. In pursuit of dignity, the government killed civilians unjustly and gathered power to become demons. Those who saw it felt injustice, accumulated anger, and killed people."
Although it was just a few short sentences, Chen Luo could hear the chaos and bloodiness in the city at that time.
When desires are infinitely magnified, infinite evil will emerge.
And this kind of "evil" is the food for building the foundation of the cultivators of the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art!
"By the time the three major immortal sects found out, the entire Guoshan County had already turned into a barren land, and everyone's desires were pushed to the limit. The five major independent cultivators gathered all the 'desires' in the city, broke through the foundation-building barrier in one fell swoop, and built the foundation of Taoism."
"Such a big thing, how come I haven't heard of it?"
Chen Luo interrupted the mummy old ghost and asked.
When he was at the Wudao Peak of the Shenhu Xianmen, he read most of the books in the library. If this "Six Desires Demon Art" really caused such a big stir, the sect should have recorded it long ago, or at least left a few words to warn later cultivators to be wary of this kind of people.
"The glorious and noble deeds are recorded in a book to be passed down to future generations. The dark and despicable deeds are burned in darkness to preserve the image of each faction." The mummy old ghost sneered and made a simple comment.
"How are those five foundation-building cultivators doing?"
"How is it? Of course he is dead and his soul is gone, and his bones are turned into ashes."
The old mummy ghost knew everything. Now that they were going to cooperate to get the Ning Shen Grass, some doubts naturally had to be cleared up early to avoid misunderstandings later.
"The three major sects all have ancestors who have reached the Jindan stage. How can a mere foundation building stage turn the world upside down? After the war, Guoshan County disappeared, and all the people in the city were buried. Guoshan County also became a forgotten place that the three major sects worked together to wipe out."
No wonder the Jindan Patriarch’s actions were so clean.
"It was more than 20 years after this incident that I learned about the existence of the Soul-Concentrating Grass. I won't go into detail about the specific process, I can only tell you that the process of discovering Guoshan County had a lot to do with my corpse refining."
At this point, the whole cause and effect has been explained clearly. Going further would involve the secret of the mummy ghost himself, so Chen Luo did not ask any more questions.
The two continued to fly.
A few days later.
The two men climbed over a mountain range and the sky ahead became gloomy, with dark clouds gathering in the sky and lightning and thunder.
thunderbolt!
Thunder crackled the sky.
The cold wind blew, the leaves on the mountain shook, and it started to rain.
"Let's find a place to rest first."
The old ghost of the dried corpse flying in front frowned, looked up at the sky, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. What corpse refiners like him fear most is the thunder from the sky. The masculine thunder gathered between heaven and earth is completely different from the Yin thunder technique of their Corpse Raising Sect. It would be fatal if it struck them.
"good."
Chen Luo was also a little tired.
The two of them had been traveling for so many days without sleep, and they didn't know how far they were from Mushan City. They just didn't know if Zhu Jie would be mad when she came back, because the alchemist who cooperated with their loose cultivation alliance ran away without a word.
After gliding through the woods for a while, the two saw a mountain temple.
This place is far away from any village or shop, and no one knows who built the mountain temple here.
Not long after entering the mountain temple, it began to rain heavily outside. The silver rain curtain was particularly bright under the thunder. The water in the mountains mixed with mud and flowed to the low-lying areas. Some places with soft soil had begun to collapse.
The rain came too quickly, without any buffer, and it was easy to form mudslides.
Inside the temple.
A lone mountain god statue sat on the altar. No one knew what the image of the mountain god was based on. It looked a bit like a yaksha, but also a bit different. Under the occasional thunder, the statue looked even more ferocious.
The window panel on the right side was broken, and it kept making creaking sounds under the rain and wind, as if it would fall off at any moment.
The tiles on the roof were still intact, with no damage, but there were some leaks at the seams. Under the heavy rain, several water lines quickly flowed through the roof, soaking the floor inside the house and emitting waves of rotting grass and trees.
In a place on the left corner where there was no rain, a woman in white clothes and a young scholar were snuggling together. Even in the cold, they were both shivering.
These two people were very strange. They didn't say anything when they saw them come in, as if they didn't see them.
"Anyone?"
Chen Luo and the old mummy ghost both stopped at the same time.
When the two of them came in before, they did not sense the breath of living people. These two people were able to avoid their perception, so they must not be ordinary people.
"What happens in the mountains has nothing to do with us."
The old ghost had a calm expression, and after a glance, he looked away. He walked to the right and sat down on the other side of the mountain temple. The people of the Corpse Cultivation Sect were not particular, and they had slept in the graves before, so they could completely ignore the rotten leaves and water on the ground.
Chen Luo didn't look at them anymore. He didn't care who this man and woman were as long as they didn't bother him.
Unlike the mummy ghost, he started to wander around in the mountain temple.
Walking through the main hall in front, Chen Luo discovered that there was a side hall behind the mountain god statue. The dust here was even heavier, and a deep mark would be left when one stepped on it. The wooden floor under his feet was even more rotten, and it made a constant creaking sound when he walked on it.
The furnishings in the side hall are relatively simple. Apart from some offerings, there are only two bookshelves.
Chen Luo saw several relatively complete bamboo slips on the bookshelf.
'The Record of the Gods of Guoshan Mountain.'
Picking up a scroll of bamboo slips, Chen Luo saw the names of these scrolls from the side.
'.The mountain god picked up the divine halberd and stabbed the evil demon with it. The water goddess who was stabbed had a face full of resentment. She couldn't believe that the person she loved the most would hurt her for those ants.'
The bamboo slips are very old, and the characters inside are also ancient characters, and the characters are blurred in many places.
In other words, Chen Luo has more than a hundred brains. When he was at Wudao Peak, he learned these niche and unpopular knowledge. If someone else came, they might not be able to understand it.
After flipping through a few more volumes, Chen Luo discovered that they all recorded the deeds of the mountain god Guoshan.
There are stories about him leading the residents of Guoshan County to overcome difficulties, and stories about him slaying demons and stabilizing people's hearts. There are many exaggerated modifiers, and Chen Luo stopped reading after reading two volumes.
Returning to the front hall, Chen Luo glanced at the three people in the hall.
The old mummy ghost closed his eyes and practiced alone.
The strange man and woman in the corner were still cuddling together, but the young scholar's hand had reached into the skirt of the woman in white at some point.
