Tianwei Chapter 270: The Emperor's Corpse (1)
No matter when, Grandpa Shi doesn't like to give the answer directly.
He is like a storyteller under the overpass, who tells an introduction and two sentences of the main text, and you can guess the rest. So from this point of view, Grandpa Shi is a profiteer. If he goes to tell stories under the overpass, he will definitely be beaten on the head.
But what Grandpa Shi said made sense. Apart from believing what that person said, what else could I do? Without Grandpa Shi's help, there were few people in the world who could save me.
With so many ghost messengers, plus the awakened Yama, how many people would be needed to kill them? Back then, the Qinling Imperial Vein tricked more than 20,000 people into going to the underworld, and the number of those who came back alive could be counted on the palm of one hand.
The underworld is really the underworld.
But then again, although I have made up my mind to do this, who should I start with?
Should I look for my mother first, or should I look for Wei Qingcang first?
According to the previous situation, the mother's hope is the slimmest. Because she only wants to complete her own affairs and does not care about others. Whether the old Taoist is alive or dead, it is probably not important to her.
As for Wei Qingcang...
After all, his resurrection was also due to the Taoist's kindness. If the Taoist had insisted on killing Gamu and found him as a bronze-armored corpse, the two brothers would have died long ago.
However, the Tianshi Sect is now full of intrigue and chaos. It took a huge price, and the disciples of three branches died before they snatched Shanbo and Niejingtai. Can he return them?
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt overwhelmed.
Time waits for no one. Once Yan Luo truly wakes up, those things will automatically return, and there will be no way to save the situation. Grandpa Shi reminded him.
The beautiful girl grabbed Tiansheng's hand and shouted from the side: Go quickly, don't wait.
I rolled my eyes. I just came back from the underworld. Let me catch my breath before I die!
Fortunately, I also know that time is the most important thing. I had no choice but to rest for a while and wait for my Taoist power to recover. Then I opened the portal again and went to find Wei Qingcang.
The ability to set the coordinates extremely accurately and arrive instantly is much better than the old Taoist's method of shrinking the earth. As long as the Taoist power is sufficient, theoretically, I can jump to Mars in one step. Of course, whether I can survive there, whether I will suffocate to death, or be kept captive by the Martians is uncertain.
Just imagine being surrounded by a group of octopuses, being forced to give birth to babies with the octopuses, and having a bunch of little octopuses surrounding me and calling me daddy... it's such a scary feeling.
Opening the blue portal, it only takes a short moment from stepping in to walking out.
At this moment, my Dao power was almost completely consumed. As soon as the light gate disappeared, I felt like someone was choking me by the neck, and I began to gasp for breath.
While panting, I looked up and looked around.
This is a deep mountain with many trees and lush branches and leaves. No birds or animals can be heard, and no human figures can be seen.
I couldn't help but be surprised. I was clearly planning to go directly to Wei Qingcang, but why was there no one here?
The spell failed?
I stood up straight and looked around carefully. It was really strange.
I don't believe that the spell will fail. Something unexpected must have happened here, so Wei Qingcang left before I came.
I took out the jade pendant and put it on my forehead, which extended my vision in all directions, and I looked at everything in the sky and on the ground. As expected, there was indeed something strange here.
I took off the jade pendant, walked forward a few steps, and stomped on it a few times. The soil was very solid. If I hadn't used the jade pendant to check, no one would have known that there was a secret passage underneath.
Although I guessed that Wei Qingcang left through the secret passage, I didn't dare go down immediately. Instead, I waited for my Taoist power to recover before escaping into the void and sinking into the ground.
The secret passage is very high, more than two meters, and also spacious, large enough for two people to walk together.
However, in the empty space, a faint smell of corpses can be seen here. No wonder there are no wild animals nearby. They must have been scared away.
I ran along the secret passage and soon arrived at a huge underground space.
The Heavenly Corpse Vein might be friends with rats and mice, and they always like to build their bases in caves. But this time they were more clever, using an unknown method to re-tamp the soil and cover up their footprints.
The space was very large, at least two hundred meters squared, and was lit up by several torches all around. I saw Wei Qingcang standing with someone else, seemingly talking about something.
Even though I was extremely anxious, you came here to ask for something. I hesitated for a long time but couldn't come up with a good reason.
How should I tell him?
It's not good to be too straightforward, but it's also not good to be too blunt. If you drag your feet for a long time and still can't make sense, then the day lily will grow bean sprouts.
Finally, I gritted my teeth, stomped my feet, and appeared right where I was, shouting: Wei...
As soon as I uttered a word, I felt something sticky and smelly coming into my mouth and nose. All kinds of nausea, nausea, and dizziness came immediately.
Corpse Qi...how could I have forgotten about it.
I slapped myself in the face in my heart and quickly chanted a spell to drive away the corpse qi. Before I felt better, a shadow appeared in front of me. Looking up, Wei Qingcang was looking at me with a puzzled look and some surprise.
I exhaled to get rid of the nausea from my body as quickly as possible, and forced a smile at him, but immediately I felt my teeth were about to stink.
Wei Qingcang patted his hands lightly to drive away the corpse qi around me, and asked: Why are you here? When did you come?
This was my first time to come into contact with the Heavenly Corpse Vein alone, and I felt somewhat nervous, so I quickly replied: I just arrived...
The man who had talked with Wei Qingcang before came over. I saw that his face was not very good, and I became even more panicked. Wei Qingcang looked at me and asked: Didn’t the master come with you?
No...he...I hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth: he is dead.
Dead? Wei Qingcang exclaimed in surprise and asked: What happened?
I looked at the person standing side by side with him and asked: Who is this?
Wei Qingcang said: Elder Ma of the Secret Corpse Vein, it’s okay, I’m here, you can tell me anything.
As soon as these words came out, the elder of the Secret Corpse Vein immediately had a face that was as long as a horse's...
However, Wei Qingcang's words also made me feel more at ease. I exhaled a few more times and felt much better before I told him about Kunlun.
Wei Qingcang's face had always been calm. Apart from frowning when he heard that the golden-winged corpse had killed the old Taoist priest, there was no special expression on his face.
However, the elder surnamed Ma was somewhat indignant, and said to me with a sullen face: Your Grandpa Shi has a bad temper. He killed the leader of my branch of Tianshi Cultivation without hesitation, which is really…
He deserves to die. Wei Qingcang interrupted.
Elder Ma was slightly startled, his expression became even uglier: Patriarch Wei, at least Yuwen...
If it weren't for the master, my brother would have died long ago. I am alive thanks to the master's care for him in those years. Wei Qingcang glanced at Elder Ma and said: Yuwen Ying colluded with outsiders without authorization, not only insulting the name of our Tianshi Vein, but also wasting the last golden feather corpse in the world. Do you think he should die?
Elder Ma's face was so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip out. He said nothing and just glanced at me with drooping eyelids.
This one glance gave me a fright.
There are not many good people in the Secret Corpse Vein. They stopped Wei Qingcang in Nanjing because he wanted to help me. According to previous speculation, Yuwen Ying may have colluded with the Secret Corpse Vein. Now he died in the hands of Grandpa Shi. As an elder of the Secret Corpse Vein, it is absolutely not surprising if this person wants to kill me and feed me to the dogs.
I felt uneasy and was thinking about what to say next, but Wei Qingcang suddenly grabbed my arm.
Huh? Before I could ask anything, I heard him say "go". Then, I felt like I was flying in the clouds. When I looked up, I found that my forehead was directly hitting the mud layer.
Watermelon, you ketchup, I'm not Dou E, don't...
The soil in front of us suddenly dispersed, and we were like fish entering a river, without encountering any obstacles, and in the blink of an eye we reached the ground. Without waiting for me to ask, Wei Qingcang pulled me up.
The scenes around me quickly receded, and the howling wind almost blew my head against my back.
It’s torture...it’s really torture!
Fortunately, Wei Qingcang slowed down after a while and soon landed on the ground.
I was dizzy from the wind. Although my feet were touching the ground, I didn't know how to walk.
How come he came back so soon... Hey, how come he...
Someone asked me some questions, which brought me back to my senses. I looked up and saw that the person standing in front of me was none other than Gamu.
After not seeing him for a while, the old man looked thinner than before, but if you look closely, you can't see him clearly. It seems that everything around him is trembling and boiling.
The master is dead, Wei Qingcang said.
Gamu was surprised by my arrival before, but at this moment the expression on his face froze and then became completely gloomy.
Who did it? he asked.
Yuwen Ying. Wei Qingcang answered.
Gamu's face became increasingly ugly. He stood there thinking for less than two seconds, then immediately raised his leg and walked out.
Yuwen Ying is dead, Wei Qingcang reminded him.
Gamu stopped walking immediately. He was not too surprised. He just nodded and said: He deserves to die.
That's right, although this matter has not been spread, the man surnamed Ma also knows about it. Wei Qingcang said: You take people to take over the walking corpse vein, and you have to be quick, because the secret corpse vein will not miss this opportunity.
Gamu nodded, looked at me and said: My dear brother, I am very sorry for the loss. This matter... Alas...
Gamu sighed heavily, said nothing more, shook his head and left. Wei Qingcang pulled me to sit in the room, poured me a cup of tea, and asked: "I remember there was a little girl over there, how is she?"
She is fine, although she was injured before, but with the Wood Spirit Pill, she is alive and kicking now. I replied.
Wei Qingcang nodded and said, "That's good. This matter was caused by my Heavenly Corpse Vein. Although Yuwen Ying is dead, I still have to give you an explanation. If you have any requests, you can tell me and I will definitely satisfy them."
I looked at Wei Qingcang, a tall man with a complexion like gold and bronze. He looked at me seriously. I knew that he could do what he said. But what I wanted involved a plan of the Tianshi Vein. Would he agree to it? And did he have the ability to agree to it?
After all, besides him, there is also the Secret Corpse Vein.
