Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 276: The Corpse Spirit

The new information was not much, but the content surprised Chu Tai very much.

As a leader who was about to be promoted, Chu Tai saw from the information he collected that the three immortal sects of Hefeng Mountain, Baodui Mountain, and Huo Mountain had close relations with the Emei Sect. Six fifth-rank monks from the Wutai Sect went out to destroy seven local temples, including the Donghua Temple, Qixian Palace, and Tianzhulu, and established temples in their original places to recruit disciples.

It can be said that the tension between the Wutai and Emei sects is becoming more and more obvious.

More importantly, Chu Tai vaguely sensed something was wrong.

He stretched out his hand and lightly tapped the void. A ray of spiritual light fell down, and naturally unfolded, revealing a map.

Chu Tai put the Emei layout and Wutai layout that he knew into it, and found that while the two were restraining each other, they were also stabilizing the earth's veins and energy, as if blocking something.

Chu Tai, who understood this, secretly found an opportunity to contact Si Shubai and asked her to help collect some relevant information.

"Why are you suddenly curious about this thing? The last time you contacted me, didn't you say you wanted to practice your magical powers in seclusion for a while? Now that you have achieved something, do you want to come out and practice?"

Si Shubai did not have too many thoughts on the sudden disappearance of Chu Tai, the Yangmei Mountain man. Or rather, she guessed something about the problem after Chu Tai suddenly lost contact.

It's just that they are being forced by others, or they are just avoiding some targeting.

Therefore, she naturally chose Chu Tai to find a reason for herself and asked him vaguely what he was thinking now.

"It's nothing, actually. I think you know that I am proficient in the Taiyi Golden Light Mantra. In fact, I am not only proficient in this Taiyi Mantra, but my own practice method is also closely related to the Taiyi lineage. Recently, I have made great progress in my practice and achieved the fifth level. It is obviously a happy thing, but I have always felt uneasy recently, so I came to you to ask about Emei and Wutai."

Chu Tai, who has already achieved the fifth rank, has a new idea compared to the past. He believes that he can handle the cause and effect left by some sects, so he does not need to hide his identity as a member of the Taiyi Jinhua lineage so strictly.

Therefore, while retaining his identity as a mountain man from Yangmei, he also intended to have some connection between him and the Taiyi lineage.

His change undoubtedly solved some of Si Shubai's past doubts and confirmed some of her guesses. There was a slight change in her positioning of Chu Tai, but relatively speaking, she was more willing to tell Chu Tai some information.

"I see. I was wondering if your cultivation method was somewhat different from what I had initially described. It turned out to be related to the Taiyi Sect. Given the current views of various forces on the Taiyi Sect, it would be difficult for you to reveal your identity before you become a fifth-grade cultivator."

"I hope you don't mind."

Chu Tai apologized again and again. Si Shubai naturally made a few jokes, then handed the relevant information to Chu Tai and left a meaningful remark.

"At present, the Emei Sect seems to want to force out the Jinhua Sect's Dongtian, while the Wutai Sect is eyeing Yuqing and Yangfudi, one of the three major Taoist temples in Jiuxiao Palace."

Hearing this, Chu Tai was slightly surprised, and then he carefully observed the information brought by Si Shu Bai. After locating the many layouts of Wutai Sect and Emei Sect, he found that their stabilization and blockade of the earth veins were precisely to explore the locations of some blessed places and caves.

Although he didn't think the two factions would really attack the immortal sect's inheritance site, their actions still made Chu Tai very unhappy.

Chu Tai, who already had some trouble controlling his emotions, couldn't help but experience slight changes in his aura.

Arnold, who was the first to notice something was wrong, hurried to ask Chu Tai what had happened.

Seeing Arnold's somewhat worried and fearful expression, Chu Tai eased his emotions and said, "It's nothing serious. I just suddenly discovered some annoying trivial matters."

Upon hearing this, Arnold lowered his head to show that he understood. When he was about to leave, Chu Tai suddenly called him.

"Wait a moment."

Arnold turned around and asked, "Senior, is there anything else?"

Chu Tai looked ahead, reached out and took out a purple bamboo leaf, and handed it to Arnold. "Take this and walk north for thirty miles. You will see a river. If you hear crying, stop and hold up the purple bamboo leaf. Wait for a quarter of an hour and then throw it out. If you still hear crying after holding up the bamboo leaf, let go and let the bamboo leaf go. If you still don't hear crying, wait by the river for a quarter of an hour, put the purple bamboo leaf into the water, and then come back."

Hearing this, Arnold did not dare to be careless. After taking the bamboo leaf, he hurried towards the north.

After about thirty miles, we saw a big river. It was more than three meters wide, with clear water and carp swimming in the water as if they were in the air.

Arnold looked around and seeing no sound, he found a place to sit down.

After a while, a faint crying sound was heard. The sound was strange, as if it came from the heart. Arnold couldn't help feeling a little pity.

However, as he followed his brother on his business trips, he immediately discovered something was wrong and held up the purple bamboo leaf given to him by Chu Tai.

A faint purple light emerged from the bamboo leaves and spread outward. Layers of spiritual light surged, causing the crying to stop.

After a while, the crying sound started again. It was barely audible at first, but then gradually became louder. Upon hearing this, Arnold immediately let go of the bamboo leaf in his hand, and saw a ray of purple light rising into the sky and suddenly falling down.

A woman emerged from the steam in the river. She had a nice figure and beautiful appearance. She was wearing white mourning clothes. There were piles of bones under her body. When she saw Arnold, she burst into tears again. A lot of dark light lit up, which made Arnold dizzy.

But the next second, the bamboo leaves fell, the woman let out a mournful cry, and disappeared.

Arnold came to his senses and was horrified. He hurried back to find Chu Tai and asked in a low voice.

"Senior, was the deer-bodied corpse spirit I encountered earlier?"

"You actually know this monster?"

Chu Tai, who was playing with a purple bamboo leaf in his hand, heard this, looked up at Arnold, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"This monster is the spirit of a thousand-year-old carp that wanted to practice evil. It needs to swallow the blood of human souls to continue practicing. I asked you to find her with the purple bamboo leaf so that she can make a choice. If she is willing to reincarnate, I can help her enter the Tao in the next life. If she is not willing, just leave and I can turn a blind eye."

"It's a pity that this monster has been plotted against by someone and fed with human soul essence and blood. It doesn't want you to leave. I just want to subdue it and see if I can find the person behind it."

Arno was shocked when he heard this and asked, "This monster is actually kept in captivity by humans? Why would they do this?"

"Perhaps they want to stabilize the water vapor in this river and suppress the surrounding earth veins."

Chu Tai took a look and evolved some of the layouts on the map, and had a more detailed guess about the layouts of the Wutai Sect and the Emei Sect in his mind.

Arnold, who couldn't see Chu Tai evolve the map, saw that the other party had not responded for a long time, so he just stood by and didn't say anything.

After a while, Chu Tai handed the purple bamboo leaf to Arnold and said, "This is my gift to you for helping me this time. Although it can't be called a top-notch magic weapon, I have refined the true meaning of several magics that you are good at into it. Carry it with you on a daily basis, it can enhance those magics a little, and it will also be a small benefit to your practice."

Arnold took the leaf and immediately felt a spiritual energy flowing out from the leaf, circulating in his limbs and bones, slightly improving his cultivation.

After bowing repeatedly to Chu Tai to express his gratitude, Arnold retreated very consciously.

Chu Tai took out the body of the deer-bodied corpse spirit and carefully calculated the "fate" behind it.
