Chapter 93 Sky Burial

When everyone present heard Yu Que's words, they were startled for a moment, but immediately pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

When Teacher Zhu heard this, she kept smiling and said:
"A spiritual temple is one that was born by one's father and raised by one's mother. How can it be built randomly? For me, immortals are out of reach, like the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror. How can I teach you?

You kid, are you really not using Zhu as a joke to get yourself beaten?"

Yu Que bowed his head and said, "I dare not do that. I hope you will forgive me, sir."

It was obvious that Teacher Zhu was not really angry. She looked at Yu Que for a few times, then looked at everyone else and said:
“However, although Zhu does not know the method of opening a temple, he knows that in worldly practice, one often takes the middle and gets the lower, and takes the upper and gets the middle.

I happen to have a method for opening a temple here. If you use it, no matter what your background is, I can theoretically tap the potential of your blood and soul to the greatest extent."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a buzz all around.

Yu Que also raised his head suddenly and stared at the man with sharp eyes.

The "Heavenly Method for Opening the Temple" mentioned by the other party is much superior to the "Spiritual Method for Opening the Temple" just by hearing the name.

I don’t know whether this person really only knows this superior method, or is only willing to reveal this method.

But no matter what the reason was, Yu Que spoke up immediately:

"Please teach me, sir!"

When the others heard his call, they all bowed and called out, "Sir, teach me."

"Wait a minute!"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Zhu stretched out her hand to stop the crowd from shouting. The smile on her face was even more playful. She said:

"Don't be in a hurry to ask me for help. I will teach you something first. That is, the temple is built using the 'heavenly method', and the burial method is naturally 'sky burial'.

Do you all know about sky burial? Do you really want to use this method to enter the Tao?"

In an instant, the words of everyone who had just kept saying "Sir, teach me" were choked in their throats and could not be uttered for a while.

Including Yu Que, he was also stunned with a look of surprise and doubt on his face.

As for the burial methods that Zhu Jiaoyu just mentioned, such as tower burial, wilderness burial, head-folding burial, thatched house burial, sitting burial, etc., people are not very clear about them, or even hear about them for the first time.

However, even if everyone present did not understand the term "sky burial", they had heard of it.

Teacher Zhu looked at the stunned expressions of the crowd and took the initiative to introduce:

"The method of sky burial is inherited from ancient times and is derived from the imitation of nature. Not only do we immortals have this custom, but many wild animals and foreign people also have this custom. After all, this method, in the final analysis, is actually exposing the corpse to the sky, letting the birds and beasts and the grass enjoy the corpse, and then returning it to nature.

It’s just that the celestial burials of us immortals have a special ritual and steps.”

Zhu introduced it and sighed:
“I heard that the ancient immortals all used the ‘sky burial method’ to achieve enlightenment.

This also led to the fact that in ancient times, only three out of ten immortals would survive when they entered the Tao, and the death rate was extremely high. Even if they were successfully buried and the temple was opened, the cruel process might leave behind roots of disease and destroy their lifespan. It was already good if one out of ten could survive intact.

She looked at everyone, especially at Yu Que, and asked:
"Although the immortals have studied it till now, they have already changed the steps and greatly reduced the risks. At least in the regular county schools, there are very few deaths in the temples that adopt the sky burial method.

But do you really dare to cut open your heart and lungs, take out your intestines and liver, and set your body on fire in order to gain great wealth? "

Teacher Zhu did not force everyone to answer, but closed his eyes and said:
"Let me explain in advance. If you give up halfway, you will be abandoned by heaven. Even if you are a brilliant man, your potential has been mostly burned out. It will be a rare opportunity for you to open a three-foot grass temple again."

After she said this, she didn't look at the crowd again, letting them talk about it.

"Hiss, I've heard of this method too."

"Yes! I have a cousin who claims to be a murderer without blinking an eye. But he finally passed the county school entrance exam and chose the sky burial method when he opened the temple. Guess what happened?"

"Say it quickly!"

"Before the temple was opened, he was so frightened by the sight of the sky burial that his legs trembled and he dared not go forward. Fortunately, he was blasted down in the end, otherwise he might have died there. Because he was so frightened, he only opened a two-foot-high thatched temple in the end."

The listeners also nodded in agreement:

“I heard that the temple for the sky burial method is not opened in the same place as the ordinary methods, but in a separate place, and it is strictly forbidden to reveal too much to the outside world. If you want to use it to open a temple, the county school will have its own tests. Your cousin may not have passed the test.” Everyone talked one after another, even the brave students who didn’t care at first looked nervous and entangled.

Yu Que was among them, and listening to what everyone was saying, he couldn't help but feel a toothache.

Fortunately, when he was concentrating his Yin Spirit last time, he said that he would never resort to such cruel torture again.

I didn’t expect that when I first entered the county school, the first class I took would be about a sky burial method that was even more bizarre than the “Ceremony of the Seven Corpses’ Last Lights”.

He murmured feebly in his heart: "The cultivation of the immortals in this world is really not immortal at all, but full of ghostly spirit."

Although everyone was frightened by Teacher Zhu and other classmates at first, it didn't take long for someone to make a decision and speak out resolutely:

"Please teach me the sky burial method, sir!"

It wasn't just one person who spoke, but two people, a man and a woman.

The man had a square face, the woman had an oval face, they were both wearing exquisite clothes, and their looks made Yu Que feel unfamiliar. Obviously, they were not admitted to the county school through the "small examination", but were two of the thirty students who were exempted from the examination and were protected by the government.

"it is good!"

Teacher Zhu suddenly opened his eyes: "He Ling, He Li, count your brother and sister."

Hearing this, someone in the audience suddenly murmured in surprise:
"They are brother and sister, are they biological? Twins, boy and girl?"

Apart from the twins, three more people came out of the scene, wanting to try out what Teacher Zhu called the "sky burial and temple opening method".

The number of people willing to undergo "sky burial" soon reached five.

Teacher Zhu showed a little satisfaction in his eyes, and said casually: "Not bad, at least they are soldiers under my command, not just one or two of them have stood up."

As she spoke, she shifted her gaze and looked at Yu Que with a scrutinizing look.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Yu Que also walked out of the crowd and bowed:
"Students also choose sky burial."

Then he stood among the five people.

No matter how much he complained in his heart, facing such an important moment as the opening of the temple, he had to exert every effort to squeeze out any potential.

Besides, everyone else has chosen, so how can Yu Que retreat?

He has decided on this method of sky burial!

Teacher Zhu nodded at Yu Que and didn't say much.

The other party continued to stand there and wait.

Next, four more people came out, but one of the people who had already stood out retreated with shame on his face after being entangled in many ways.

Teacher Zhu didn't say anything about this, but just saw that there were already ten people gathered.

This number was already enough, so she was too lazy to wait any longer and threw a sentence to the remaining twenty people:

"It takes a long time to open a temple with the Sky Burial Method. It's not as simple as what you guys are doing. You guys don't move around here. I'll deal with them first, and then I'll deal with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Teacher Zhu walked away.

Yu Que and ten other people hurriedly followed, following behind Instructor Zhu, and walked towards the crematorium where thick smoke was billowing.

As their figures disappeared in the crematorium, the other students who were left there had different expressions.

Some people looked unhappy and secretly stuck out their tongues; some were gloating, with a nonchalant expression as if they were waiting to watch a show; and some had regretful looks on their faces, regretting that they did not have the courage to choose sky burial.

Not only did Yu Que's class send out a separate group of people to rush to the crematorium first, but the other four classes did the same, except that there were more people on Instructor Zhu's side.

Soon, amid the stench of burning, Yu Que and his companions stepped on the bone residue and came directly to the top of the many fire rooms, where there was an open-air bone-collecting platform...
