The sun and moon are both wrong; who made him seek the Dharma

Jiang Mingzi, who had been freed from Chang Shimingzi's grasp, came to her senses and shuddered violently.

An invisible causal punishment descended from the sky and slammed down on his primordial spirit.

The punishment that would normally severely injure a powerful cultivator with just one hit was something Jiang Mingzi managed to withstand.

His body swayed slightly, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but he quickly wiped it away.

"It's worth it to suffer the punishment of causality for this."

He looked up at the sky; it was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly.

Thinking about the situation he had just confirmed with his little grand-disciple, Jiang Mingzi's lips curled up:

"After all, the future of Sanzhen cannot be compromised."

Jiang Mingzi sighed and looked down at his hands.

"It's just a pity that the primordial spirit can't touch the gray cub's head."

Chapter 26 Resurrection

This journey was much longer than I had imagined.

So much so that people could even chat with each other high in the air.

"So, that patriarch was a figure from a thousand years ago? His title was Immortal Lord of Eternal Myriad Laws."

Bai Xiaoxiao stammered, her voice filled with disbelief:

"So, because you showed off your big plate of chicken to him, he came over to freeload?"

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Gao Haoguang with disbelief, as if she were listening to some kind of fantastical tale.

"You actually managed to contact people from a thousand years ago? I thought..."

She genuinely thought Gao Haoguang had some kind of hysteria or was just trying to look cool when he was young.

Gao Haoguang sighed, looking utterly hopeless: "Don't listen to your senior brother's nonsense."

Meanwhile, the few people who had little contact with Jiang Mingzi were quite moved.

Ma Chao, however, looked on with longing, stroking his beard and sighing:

"The patriarch's demeanor was truly radiant and captivating."

Miao Qingqing nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.

Huang Erguo suddenly spoke up, his tone tinged with resentment:

"In terms of talent, looks, and money, how can Haoguang compare to me?"

He pushed up his black round hat, looking serious.

"Why wasn't I chosen as the successor in the same month?"

Ma Chao smiled and said, "Perhaps it's because I'm too shameless?"

Gao Haoguang's lips twitched, and before he could refute, the Three Truths and the Moon Token at his waist suddenly emitted a golden light.

A familiar voice rang out:

"Hey, Gray, you're not here yet."

Jiang Mingzi's face appeared beside Gao Haoguang, smiling.

Gao Haoguang immediately shifted his focus: "Wang Baxianjun, where are you sending us?"

He gazed at the gradually emerging town silhouette in the distance, and the shimmering sea on the horizon, his brow furrowing deeply.

"We've been flying for almost an incense stick's time, why haven't we arrived yet?"

Jiang Mingzi was somewhat surprised: "Huh?"

"It seems the person you found this time is quite far away."

Gao Haoguang was dumbfounded: "You don't even know where you're taking us?!"

Jiang Mingzi explained matter-of-factly:

"The scroll's tracking automatically locks onto the nearest resurrected corpse that is closest to you."

"So this is the only one I know that's closest to you. But it really is far away."

Gao Haoguang puffed up his cheeks, like a puppy whose tail had been stepped on:

"You unreliable bastard, you're really too unreliable."

Jiang Mingzi laughed heartily, completely unconcerned: "That's what makes it fun."

He paused, his tone becoming slightly serious:

“There are a total of six Dharma Corpses on this Immortal Lord’s scroll, and you have already killed one of them.”

"If you can kill another one, the reward will be more than just what your senior brother promised."

Jiang Mingzi smiled, her gaze falling on Gao Haoguang:

"I'm preparing your things too."

Gao Haoguang's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Jiang Mingzi nodded with a smile, but his heart was filled with a wicked sense of amusement.

Gray is still a child at heart.

They didn't even ask me what I was preparing.

However, it must be a good thing for you.

On the other side, Gao Haoguang's lips curled up, and he was in a rather pleasant mood.

Hey, turns out Jiang Mingzi isn't just all barking like a dog all day.

Even the Eight Immortals can occasionally speak human language.

As we chatted and laughed, the sun began to set.

The golden sunset dyed the sky orange-red, and the group slowly descended under the protection of magic, landing steadily on a small hill.

After regaining his footing, Xia Chuan immediately checked his surroundings.

At the foot of the mountains not far away, a large town stretches out along the coastline, with blue tiles and white walls, lined up one after another.

Further out, there was the shimmering sea, with the sails of several fishing boats faintly visible on its surface.

By roughly estimating the scroll's speed, Xia Chuan knew they were now close to Lianyungang.

After all, the town below looks bigger than the provincial capital of Xuzhou.

only......

Looking at the bustling crowds and the noisy traffic in the town, one sees a scene of peaceful and prosperous life.

Xia Chuan frowned: "The Corpse of Law is actually here?"

Is it the same situation as in Heishan Village?

Is someone colluding to regularly offer sacrifices to the corpses?

But Xia Chuan immediately denied his guess.

Not too possible.

The success of the Heishan Village model mainly relies on the villagers' lack of knowledge about the outside world and the scarcity of communication with others.

However, this area is by the sea, and the number of land and sea merchants traveling here in a single day is estimated to be several times the total population of Heishan Village.

If it involves collusion with others, the risk is too great.

A more reasonable guess would be that the corpse mastered some kind of technique to conceal its form.

How could someone kill others without the entire town noticing?

Xia Chuan frowned deeply.

That would be troublesome...

As I was lost in thought, Master Ma Chao's voice rang out:

"Let's go down the mountain first and check out the situation in town."

"Since this is a trial given by the patriarch, we must complete it beautifully and not disgrace the patriarch."

After saying that, he walked down the mountain, and the others had no choice but to follow.

Xia Chuan sighed.

He felt that the founder should not have anything like face.

However, the master's judgment was correct; there must be some situation in the town.

This place looks really familiar.

Lost in thought, I heard my senior sister's sigh beside me:

Wow, this mountain is huge!

Miao Qingqing looked up at the towering mountain rising abruptly behind her and exclaimed in amazement:

"It looks just like a round stone."

Bai Xiaoxiao also turned her head curiously.

The lush trees covering the mountainside, when viewed from a distance, resemble a patch of moss clinging to a giant rock.

Such a huge rocky mountain suddenly appeared near the mouth of the river and the sea, so abrupt, yet it appeared so harmonious under the cover of trees.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a peculiar landscape.

Hearing their sentiments, Gao Haoguang turned his head curiously.

"Hey, it really is."

Xia Chuan looked at the mountain, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

It does look familiar.
