Chapter 422: The Savage Bone Who Loves Learning (Additional Updates Asking for Monthly Tickets)
The main city of Huangzhou is called Hanshui City, which is the most important and prosperous city in Huangzhou. The Corpse-Driving Sect is located in the Yinshi Mountains outside Hanshui City, where the yin energy is the strongest and it is most suitable for raising corpses.
The corpse drivers all regard the Yinshi Mountain Range where the Corpse Driving Sect is located as a holy place.
When they entered the territory of the Corpse-Driving Sect, it was a sunny day, but Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou could not feel any heat, but instead a chilly air.
Zhao Po showed a comfortable expression and seemed to be enjoying the environment here very much.
The Immortal Fairy was not surprised by this: "Not only the corpse-drivers, but anyone who practices Yin-attributed skills will feel very comfortable here. Moreover, there will be no thunder when it rains here, so it is very safe."
The so-called Yin-attributed exercises refer to exercises that are related to ghosts, souls, corpses, etc. The exercises practiced by the Jiuyou Sect belong to the Yin-attributed exercises.
Practitioners who practice Yin-attributed techniques are most afraid of thunder, as thunder represents the most yang and the most rigid, and is the most effective in restraining practitioners of Yin-attributed techniques.
Among the 24 solar terms, there is one called "Qingzhe", which describes the deterrent effect of thunder on evil things.
"Brother Zhao Po, you're back!"
When the two gatekeeper disciples saw Zhao Po returning, they hurriedly saluted.
They each also have a zombie that stands guard with them.
As the second of the new generation of disciples, Zhao Po is like an idol among these disciples.
Unlike the number one Huang Ming, Zhao Po is willing to help others. Many people have been helped by him, and he is very popular in the Corpse Driving Sect.
"Senior Brother Zhao, these two are..."
"They are fellow Taoists from the Daoist Sect, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, who are here to visit our Corpse Driving Sect."
The two gatekeeper disciples were shocked: "Another Taoist sect?!"
"Again?"
"Brother Zhao, you may not know that during the time you were away, a fellow Taoist from the Dao Sect came to our sect. He is a barbarian and came here to learn the art of driving corpses."
"Is his name Man Gu?" Lu Yang couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, that's the name."
"Why does Mangu want to learn the art of corpse-driving? Isn't he a Confucianist?" Meng Jingzhou didn't understand.
"Who knows?"
The two gatekeeper disciples reported to the sect, and the sect steward came out to greet the two in person.
"Please inform the deacon that the two of us are here to visit your sect's leader."
The deacon showed an embarrassment: "The sect master has reached a critical period in his cultivation. After accepting Huang Ming, he has been in seclusion and cannot see anyone."
"Is that so? That's fine. We can visit your clan's elders."
Anyway, they are here to find a solution for Meng Jingzhou, so they can ask anyone.
"Then I'll take you two there. My master is the great elder." Zhao Po said with a smile.
After the sect competition ended, Huang Ming was accepted as a disciple by the sect master. He was accepted as a disciple by the grand elder, and in terms of actual status, he was higher than the deacon.
"Then I'll trouble you, Master-nephew Zhao Po."
"Uncle Mo, that's not true."
Three people, one corpse and one horse successfully entered the Corpse-Driving Sect. They first settled the old horse and then went to find the sect's chief elder.
"What a nice smell." Zhao Po's nose twitched as he smelled a fragrance he had never smelled before.
"It smells really good, and very familiar." Meng Jingzhou's nose twitched as he smelled the familiar barbecue aroma.
"It must be Man Gu." Lu Yang said with a smile.
The only ones who can roast food to this taste are the three of them, the Immortal Sect’s high-ranking officials, and the Nine Nether Sect’s followers.
In other words, apart from the Demon Cult, there are only three of them who can do it.
"Let's go and meet him." Meng Jingzhou put his curse behind him.
The three of them followed the scent to find Man Gu, or rather, they didn't need to smell the scent, they just needed to look where there were many people.
The disciples of the Corpse-Driving Sect gathered together, and no one knew what they were doing. The fragrance came from the middle.
"Make way, make way, make way." The three of them squeezed into the front row of the crowd and saw Man Gu.
I saw Man Gu sitting cross-legged on the ground, muttering to himself.
Two sheep carcasses danced on the fire, smearing seasonings on each other. The aroma of the mutton and the seasonings blended perfectly together, and the fragrance was ignited by the flames.
The roasted carcasses of the two sheep look so tempting in color that they make one's mouth water.
"Divide!" Man Gu shouted, and the two sheep corpses automatically decomposed into small pieces, with each person taking one piece.
The disciples of the Corpse-Driving Sect had been waiting for this moment for a long time. They ate with relish and praised the food highly.
"I've never eaten such delicious roasted whole lamb. Look at the skin, so crispy and fragrant, and the meat, so juicy."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"Not only that, the roasted whole lamb I ate before was not heated evenly, some parts were overcooked, and some parts were half-cooked. Look at what Fellow Daoist Man Gu roasts, it's so fragrant, even the bones are well-seasoned!"
"The Taoists still have a way. Why didn't we think of using the corpse-driving technique to grill? The grilling effect is so good."
"Otherwise, it's because they can enter the Daoist Sect, but we can't. This is because our thinking is at a different level."
"Not only is his thought level high, but Daoist Man Gu is also very talented. You see, it takes us three to five years to learn the art of driving corpses, but Daoist Man Gu got the hang of it in just half a month."
"They are more enthusiastic about studying than us."
Man Gu acted very modestly: "My fellow Taoists are praising me too much. Compared with my two senior brothers, my ability is nothing compared to theirs, especially Senior Brother Lu Yang. If he can learn the corpse-driving technique and add the Three Flavors True Fire, the taste of this roasted whole lamb will be even better!"
No one could imagine how delicious it was.
Lu Yang: “…”
Meng Jingzhou: “…”
No wonder you, Man Gu, came here to learn the art of corpse-driving. It turns out you haven’t forgotten what you said in the jungle.
When Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, Tao Yaoye and Man Gu were training in the dense forest, they killed many monsters. At that time, Man Gu found that roasting a whole monster would easily lead to uneven heating, so he proposed to use the corpse-driving technique to roast it.
This method was even highly praised by the Immortal Fairy, the great patron of the ancient barbarians.
"Man Gu is learning very smoothly. Not only can he roast the sheep carcass on the fire, but he can also decompose it automatically."
The two learned from Zhao Po that zombie decomposition is a combat skill that is very difficult to master.
"Man Gu, long time no see!"
The two greeted each other, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but rise.
When Man Gu heard the familiar voice, he looked up suddenly, and when he saw Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, his eyes lit up.
"Brother Lu, Brother Meng, why are you here?"
"Old Meng did so many bad things and now he's getting his retribution." Lu Yang grinned evilly.
"Bad things?" Man Gu was puzzled. In his impression, Brother Lu and Brother Meng were both his role models and good people. How could they do bad things?
"Old Meng is cursed. He is not popular with women now."
Man Gu suddenly realized that Brother Meng must have developed the potential of his single spiritual root to the maximum in order to practice, and deliberately suffered the curse to show his determination to practice.
During the time when I was learning the art of corpse-driving, Brother Lu and Brother Meng must have raced against time and practiced diligently.
On the other hand, I was complacent just because I had learned a little bit of the corpse-driving technique. Moreover, this technique did not improve my cultivation at all. Compared with Brother Meng, I was just wasting my time.
He felt very ashamed.
