Chapter 009
Cheng Hui has a great advantage, which is his strong adaptability.
How strong is it?
Even if you put him in ancient times, he would learn to farm and open up wasteland, and would try his best to survive.
Not only do we have to survive, but we also have to live well and comfortably.
Even if you lack the ability, at least you can maintain your mentality.
So, even though he has become a corpse now, or a walking corpse who often speaks unclearly and can only babbling, he still lives happily every day.
Due to his own special characteristics, as a zombie he possesses the intelligence of ordinary zombies in the Far Dynasty, so he has found out a lot of information in the Thirteen Peaks.
There are many people living on the Thirteen Peaks. In addition to Wuyouzi's seven disciples, there are also a large number of low-level disciples.
These disciples are not very talented, but they don't want to give up practicing when they get older, so they become waiters on various peaks. They work for the formal disciples, and it is a good opportunity for them to see who relaxes their hands a little.
It would be even better if there were disciples who were eager to teach others and were willing to explain some cultivation issues to them. However, people would often fight privately for such an opportunity and get beaten to a pulp.
Zhang Yifan also brought people to the courtyard and asked Lin Qingyang to choose a few waiters, but he refused.
Cheng Hui overheard a lot of information from the places where these waiters gathered.
Don't underestimate these waiters. They appear everywhere on the peak every day and occasionally communicate with waiters from other peaks. They certainly don't know those important secret messages, but this does not prevent them from discussing some private gossip.
Some of this information was true, and some was false. Cheng Hui didn't try to distinguish them for the time being, but just treated it as intelligence collection. Through this information, he had a general impression of the entire Corpse Puppet Sect's composition.
After sorting out the information about the entire Corpse Puppet Sect, Cheng Hui suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
Before, he always thought that although the reputation of the Corpse Puppet Sect was very bad, the atmosphere within the sect was actually quite good. But after seeing the news, he realized, what a bullshit!
It would be bad enough if the Xuanshi Sect and the Puppet Sect had diametrically opposed ideologies, but they actually had serious disagreements on their world outlook, values and outlook on life, which was a huge problem.
The Xuanheng Realm is a relatively large intermediate realm, and is also well-known among the heavens and myriad realms. The power comparison between the righteous and evil sides can barely be considered to be in the advantage of the righteous side.
Why do you say it’s reluctant?
Then we have to mention the Eight Gates of Left-Handed Path.
The term "Zuodao" comes from the unorthodox sects. The sects classified as the Eight Gates of Zuodao have a rather special way of practicing, just like their Corpse Puppet Sect, which uses corpses to practice.
Their reputation is not very good. They can be accused of disturbing the sleep of the dead and insulting corpses. But if you really think about it, a corpse is just a corpse after all. Not to mention what happens in secret, at least on the surface, the corpses used by their Corpse Puppet Sect are all bought or the corpses of enemies.
At this point, the righteous disciples can despise them, but it is not appropriate to accuse them of falling into the evil path in this way.
Of course, those things that happened in private are another matter, such as actively attacking monks and then using their corpses to refine corpse puppets. Such things definitely happened, but it is difficult to judge in the absence of evidence.
Similar to the Corpse Puppet Sect is the Hehuan Sect. The Hehuan Sect's name suggests they practice dual cultivation techniques. Some righteous disciples also form partnerships with Hehuan Sect disciples.
There is no good or bad in the practice itself, but human hearts are the most difficult to control. There are always some people who like to take shortcuts, so dual cultivation becomes about gathering and replenishing, gathering yin to replenish yang, gathering yang to replenish yin. No matter what is gathered, it will definitely be disadvantageous to the other party.
It is said that there was once an outstanding disciple from a righteous sect who was raped by a female disciple from the Hehuan sect, and his foundation was destroyed. This caused quite a stir, so much so that for a period of time afterwards, the Hehuan sect was almost labeled as an evil sect.
It was the then leader of the Hehuan Sect who had the courage to conduct a thorough investigation, turning the entire Hehuan Sect upside down, and only then was he able to expel those disciples who were secretly practicing the Caibu technique.
Because there were too many people involved, even the elders of the Hehuan Sect were involved. After those people fled the Hehuan Sect, they actually formed a sect called the Joy Sect. This time they simply focused on collecting and replenishing energy, and became a legitimate demonic sect.
Some of the Eight Left-Way Sects are similar to the Corpse Puppet Sect and the Joyous Union Sect. They may be psychologically inclined towards the righteous path, but their skills are obviously more inclined towards the evil path.
In addition to this, there are also sects like the Spirit Beast Valley and the Tianji Pavilion that are obviously neutral and do not want to get involved in the mess between the good and evil sides, which eventually constitute the Eight Left-Way Sects.
The Corpse Puppet Sect split into two factions mainly because the Puppet Faction has always believed that their Corpse Puppet Sect has the strength to dominate the entire Xuanheng Realm.
After all, something like a corpse puppet can be made as long as there is a corpse, so there is no need to abide by the rules of the righteous path.
They firmly believed that if they could obtain a corpse of a Mahayana cultivator, they could completely subdue the sects of both the righteous and evil sides and become the overlord of the Xuanheng world.
However, the Xuanshi Sect does not want to cause trouble. Relatively speaking, they are a very Buddhist sect. Most of their natal Xuanshi are their relatives. In addition to strengthening themselves, they also have the idea of resurrecting their relatives by practicing their natal Xuanshi.
Of course, the natal Xuan corpses are ignorant at the beginning and have to learn almost everything from scratch, so when one day they have complete spiritual intelligence, it is hard to say whether they will still be the same person. We can only say that there is a glimmer of hope.
For the Xuanshi Sect, the ideas of the Puppet Sect were nothing but daydreams.
Isn't life good? Why bother with trouble?
If their secret actions were to be exposed, not only would they be turned into demons, they would probably be hunted down by the entire Xuanheng Realm.
Do you really think that the ancestral tombs of those big sects are easy to dig?
Yes, you dare not imagine what those crazy people in the puppet faction are thinking.
They wanted to refine a Mahayana corpse, but Mahayana cultivators were only a step away from ascension, so how could it be so easy to find one?
So, this group of people set their sights on the ancestral tombs of the major sects.
When Cheng Hui heard the news for the first time, he was completely stunned.
Honestly, aren't you, the Puppet Sect, too arrogant? It's fine if you didn't hide this suicidal act, but you actually made it so bad that even the sect's attendants could guess at it?
The Corpse Puppet Sect must have the pill!
When Cheng Hui heard the news for the first time, he almost told Lin Qingyang directly, "Let's run away. We can't stay here anymore."
Later, he heard similar news again and again. After observing for several days, he found that these waiters seemed to be treating this matter as a joke and did not believe that the Puppet Sect could do this. It seemed that a long time ago, a crazy elder of the Puppet Sect said something similar, but no one took it seriously.
Cheng Hui: ...
The waiters thought this was a joke, but Cheng Hui didn't dare to think so.
For a small person like him, the thing he fears most is getting involved in this kind of thing.
Moreover, according to his observation, even if there was no such suicidal thing, the Corpse Puppet Sect would not be stable. The conflict between the Xuanshi Sect and the Puppet Sect was too lazy to even cover up. The two sides were almost on the verge of a showdown, which was not a good thing.
"I hope this peace can continue. At least don't let it break out before Xiao Qingyang has achieved success in his cultivation. Otherwise, if there is a problem with the sect, his future will be difficult."
Although Cheng Hui was not born and raised in the world of cultivation, the saying "one can enjoy the shade under a big tree" is universal no matter where one goes.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just say that when those envoys were chatting, they mentioned some independent cultivators in a tone that was a bit condescending.
It was obvious that the cultivation level of the independent cultivators they were talking about was much higher than theirs, but they were inexplicably confident, confident that even if they were just a servant of the Corpse Puppet Sect, they were no worse than those independent cultivators.
This shows the misery of the independent cultivators!
"Huihui, let's go practice." Lin Qingyang's voice woke Cheng Hui from his memories.
He put down the shovel in his hand and followed him back to the bedroom obediently.
There's nothing he can do. This kid has become a bad boy. Maybe he knows that he responds to soft words and doesn't respond to harsh words. Whenever something happens, he will show that aggrieved expression. But he just falls for it. He can't help but be soft-hearted every time. The result is... He is now used to this little brat pestering him anytime and anywhere.
Cheng Hui: ...Ah, habits are so scary.
The two of them sat cross-legged on the bed, their palms pressed together.
The warmth was transmitted through the other person's hands, and Cheng Hui felt that temperature almost greedily.
The biggest disadvantage of becoming a physical being is probably the lack of body temperature. Zombies are not supposed to be afraid of cold or heat, but Cheng Hui thinks it is probably the trauma left by his childhood. He hates his cold body, so he is more and more attached to this temperature.
Along with the temperature came a trickle of spiritual power. Cheng Hui instinctively guided the spiritual power to circulate in his body and finally returned to the sea of consciousness in his brain.
As a newcomer in the world of cultivation, he didn't know that spiritual power should be stored in the dantian, even though he was a walking corpse. However, ever since he and Lin Qingyang practiced the Corpse Life Xuanluo Gong together, a pseudo dantian had appeared in his lower abdomen.
Theoretically, spiritual power should be stored in this pseudo-dantian, but all of his spiritual power was absorbed by the sea of consciousness in his mind.
If he had any common sense, he would know that this was not normal at all. Unfortunately, as a time traveler, he never received any information in this regard.
After all, this is common sense, and no one usually discusses these issues?
All I can say is, it's fate.
