Start building the foundation: What is the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet?

Chapter 164 Unnamed Draft 2

"The one who keeps the body?" Gu Qingcheng's tone turned cold.

"I have never seen a mourner hiding in a coffin."

She didn't believe in any coffin keepers. The thing in the coffin was so afraid of her strange fire, it must be an evil creature. Since it was an evil creature, she would naturally get rid of it if she met it.

"You, female cultivator, what I said is the truth. I am indeed the one keeping vigil." The voice from inside the coffin sounded again.

Gu Qingcheng's expression remained unchanged as she slowly approached the sarcophagus.

Her body was wrapped in ice-blue flames. When she approached the sarcophagus, a gurgling sound like water being roasted came from inside the sarcophagus.

Gu Qingcheng became more and more certain that the things inside were not good things. Ignoring the voice, Gu Qingcheng stabbed the lid of the sarcophagus with a sword.

This is the sword she took out from the sect's sword tomb. No one knows what material it is made of, but it is very spiritual. Even if it is made of black iron, it can cut iron like mud.

The light sword cut through the sarcophagus lid like tofu, revealing a grotesque corpse inside.

"Monster?"

When Gu Qingcheng saw the things in the coffin, this word automatically appeared in her mind.

She had seen descriptions of monsters in her master's notes. The most representative features were the two horns on the head and the pair of purple eyes.

"You!" The spirit was furious. He had previously taken a fancy to the luck of this female cultivator and wanted to corrupt her and turn her into a demon. Unexpectedly, this female cultivator not only had good luck, but also had strange fire in this spiritual place where spiritual power could not be used.

Although the strange fire was suppressed due to the incomplete rules of the Land of Absolute Spirits, it was obviously more than enough to burn the demon corpse.

Thinking about his years of planning, he actually encountered this female cultivator. If his soul had a body, he would definitely spit out blood again at this moment.

"You are not in this body?" Gu Qingcheng frowned and looked around. She wanted to release her spiritual sense, but found that her spiritual sense was restrained here, so she had to give up.

"What do you want to do?" The voice in the valley seemed to come from all directions. Gu Qingcheng listened for a while but couldn't find where the man was.

Since she couldn't find any trace of the spiritual consciousness, she had no choice but to deal with the demon corpse first to prevent future trouble.

Fortunately, she has strange fire.

Thinking of this, the Ice Black Flame seemed to understand its master's thoughts, and it directly jumped out of it with a few leaping flames, and pounced on the cold sarcophagus like a nimble little snake.

A "hissing" sound was heard. Gu Qingcheng looked at the strange fire leaping on the demon corpse, feeling the emotions conveyed by the icy black flame, and frowned.

It can’t even burn?

What was going on? She could clearly feel the demon corpse's fear of the strange fire, so why couldn't her icy black flame burn the demon corpse?

"Girl, even if you have the strange fire that can restrain the demon corpse, you can't burn it. The demon is an immortal being. Don't you know that their existence is nourished by the endless greed of you cultivators?"

A bewitching voice sounded in Gu Qingcheng's ears:

"Since a cultivator has embarked on the path of cultivation, he has to compete with others and with the heavens. However, the more he competes, the more greedy he becomes. When he ascends to the upper realm, he will wash away the seven emotions and six desires of the world in the Pure Immortal Pond. Do you know..."

"From those washed away emotions and desires, one demon after another was born."

"You can burn a demon corpse, is it possible to kill countless demons?"

"If you want to slay the demon once and for all, you should swing your sword at your own kind."

Gu Qingcheng gritted her teeth and tried hard not to be affected. She looked at the stone coldly, swung the sword in her hand, and stabbed directly at the demon corpse.

I don’t know if it’s good luck, but this room is right at the chest of the demon corpse.

Black blood oozed out from his chest, and the soul that was originally chattering and trying to seduce Gu Qingcheng suddenly became silent.

He exclaimed in disbelief:

"How do you know the magic crystal is in the devil's heart!"

"Magic crystal? It seems that thing is causing trouble." Gu Qingcheng accurately captured the key points in the soul's words.

I think the magic crystal must be very important to the devil. Maybe it is similar to the dantian of the human cultivators and the demon pill of the demon race.

"You actually hit it by mistake!" The old man was furious. He roared:

"Damned human female cultivator, you actually destroyed the body that I care about the most!"

This is the body that best suits his soul. As long as some time passes, and most of the monks who have entered the secret realm are dead, he will be able to return to his demon body. But he never expected that his demon body would be destroyed by someone at the last moment.

Why is this female cultivator so lucky? After entering the dense forest, she not only got some good things left by those old guys, but also directly destroyed his hard work.

The old man's eyes were red, if he was not trapped, he would have died together with the female cultivator even if it meant his soul being torn apart.

Without the demon corpse, the strange fire instantly grew stronger, and the demon corpse melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When Luo Shan and others found the valley, they saw Gu Qingcheng searching everywhere with a serious face.

"Gu Qingcheng, you are actually here." Ying Chan saw Gu Qingcheng and walked straight over.

"What are you doing?" Gu Qingcheng thought that the people who came would be casual cultivators, but unexpectedly they were acquaintances, and she was immediately delighted.

“This sarcophagus…”

Luo Shan saw the empty sarcophagus at the first moment. She looked at Gu Qingcheng and raised her eyebrows.

I didn’t expect that this person actually had a strange fire.

Of course, if it is not a strange fire, it should be a magical object like the strange fire that can destroy the demon corpse.

"There was a demon corpse inside, which I burned." Gu Qingcheng did not hide anything. After all, she also saw the strange coffin carried by the two cultivators of the Gu clan.

Why don't you suspect it's a corpse puppet coffin? It's very simple, because it's impossible for the Gu tribe to help the corpse puppet monk carry the coffin.

Moreover, the mysterious coffin was depicted with a monster with three heads, four eyes and two horns. If it wasn't a demon, then what else could it be?

"Fairy Gu, this mysterious coffin has not been opened yet. Since you have a way to burn the demon corpse, you can deal with him as well."

Luo San said this and stepped aside.

Gu Qingcheng did not move, but glanced around and said to Ying Chan and the others:

"There is another spirit hiding in this cave. I have searched for a long time but have not found it. I am afraid that it is related to the demon corpse."

"He said before that he was the guardian who issued the trial. I don't know whether his words are true or not, but you still need to be more cautious."

"What? Could it be that the previous trials we had were caused by the spirit of the demon corpse?" The monks who did not know the inside story of the trial were horrified.

On the contrary, Luo Shan and others were much calmer. After all, they had expected this and now knowing the answer was not surprising.

"How did these monsters appear in the Land of Absolute Spirits?" some cultivators wondered. They knew very little about monsters.

After all, that was something that happened tens of thousands of years ago. Nowadays, there hasn’t been a single monster seen in the world. The most common creatures seen are demon cultivators.

But the only difference between demon cultivators and human cultivators is their cultivation, and in the final analysis they are still human.
