After carefully thinking about it, the cold expression on my face disappeared. Instead, I revealed a smile and said to the Corpse Breeder, "Fellow Daoist should be surnamed Wei, right?
Brother Wei, I won't hide it from you. The pile of corpses I just mentioned is my parents. As a son, if I can't even protect the corpses of my parents, then it would be disloyal and unfilial.
That's why I have no intention of becoming enemies with your Corpse Sect. I just want to find my parents' corpses. "
Hearing me say this, the Corpse Breeder, who didn't have a trace of fear on his face, laughed. He even had a trace of ridicule on his face and said, "In our Corpse Sect, corpses are more important than people. Since your parents' corpses were chosen, it's very likely that they have been refined into corpse puppets. The chances of you finding them are not high."
He seemed to be deliberately suppressing his desire. After saying that, he didn't wait for me to reply and immediately continued, "Of course, if I can help you put in a few words, the result might be different."
After he said this, I also revealed a trace of ridicule. However, I still pretended to be pleasantly surprised and said, "If that's the case, then it couldn't be any better. I'll have to trouble Brother Wei."
The Corpse Breeder nodded and said with a hint of arrogance, "Since that's the case, why don't you quickly undo the restriction on my body?"
"This …" I hesitated for a moment and deliberately put on an apologetic expression. I cupped my hands and said with a wry smile, "Brother Wei, you have reached the Pressure Point Realm. Once I undo the restriction, what will I do if Brother Wei tries to escape?
It's not that I don't trust Brother Wei, but this matter is too important to me … "
Hearing my words, the Corpse Breeder's expression became gloomy and he said with displeasure, "You don't trust me, yet you want me to help you? How can there be such a good thing in this world?
I might as well not take you to the Corpse Sect. If you want to kill me, you can do whatever you want. "
The Corpse Breeder looked like he was ready to fight to the death, so I quickly persuaded him for a long time. I promised him that as soon as we arrived outside the Corpse Sect, I would immediately undo the restriction on his body. Then, he would take me to the Corpse Sect to find my parents' corpses.
The corpse breeder begrudgingly agreed. He looked as if he had suffered a big loss. However, I could see a hint of ridicule on his face.
Of course, I didn't put it in my heart. I just brought him back to the van.
After we got into the car, I asked Tong Tong to loosen some of the restrictions on the corpse breeder's body. He could drive easily, but he couldn't use the Dao energy in his body.
We continued our journey, heading northeast. After more than two hours, we entered Pingding County. We drove for another dozen kilometers before we reached the western entrance of Taihang Mountain. At the same time, it was also the pass of the Great Wall, the Niangzi Pass.
After they arrived, the Corpse Breeder drove off the national highway and arrived at a dirt road with many twists and turns.
After another half-hour of bumpy driving, we finally stopped in front of a steep mountain wall.
The Corpse Breeder slowly got out of the carriage and pointed at the mountain wall in front of us. He said, "There is a small path behind this mountain wall. We must follow this path. Once we climb over this mountain, we will arrive at the Corpse Sect's headquarters.
Can you remove the restrictions on my body now? "
I didn't answer him and just looked at the mountain in front of us. At the same time, I used my Dao energy to sense it.
It seemed he was right. The mountain was Yang, and the forest was Yin. The mountain in front of us looked barren, which was the pattern of Solitary Yang. It should have a lot of Yang energy, but just by standing at the foot of the mountain, I could feel a strong Yin energy fluctuation. This proved that there was something strange on this mountain or behind it.
I had read in a history textbook that there were several ancient trade routes in Taihang Mountain. They were hidden in the middle of several mountain ranges.
Later, in different dynasties, many bandits and robbers gathered here, and it was impossible to eliminate them all.
Just like the Ten Thousand Mountains in Xiangxi, this place was also a famous bandit lair in history.
I guessed that behind this steep mountain wall was one of these ancient trade routes.
This kind of special terrain could provide a place for secluded sects to live. Moreover, it was a place that was secretive enough to ensure that no one knew about them.
With that thought in mind, I guessed that the corpse breeder wasn't lying.
"The mountain road is rugged. I'm afraid it won't be easy to carry the ten corpses in the carriage up the mountain.
Brother Wei, how did you carry the corpses up the mountain? "
After observing the terrain, I asked the corpse breeder with a smile.
The corpse breeder's face turned cold. He looked at me with more resentment. After a long time, he took a deep breath and answered, "Corpse puppets are very strong. When we used to climb the mountain, we had to rely on them to carry the corpses.
This time, my corpse puppet died in your hands. We have to rely on ourselves to carry the corpses. "
I could see that the corpse puppet was very important to this corpse breeder. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a big grudge against me.
However, it made sense. This corpse breeder was at the early stage of the acupoint sealing realm, while the corpse puppet was at the middle stage of the acupoint sealing realm. That corpse puppet should be his biggest trump card.
Then, before I could answer, the corpse breeder said, "All right, you should remove my restriction. We'll have to exert our strength. Each of us will be responsible for five corpses. Let's go up the mountain."
I still didn't answer him. Instead, I laughed and said, "It's true that the corpse puppets are strong, but Brother Wei, you've forgotten about the talisman techniques of our Xuanmen Sect.
Let's not talk about other things. Even the godly techniques used by some villagers can make them extremely strong, let alone the Daoist School's Mao Summoning Technique. You only need a low-level Mao Summoning Technique to carry these ten corpses. How hard is it to carry them? "
After saying that, I took out two talismans from my body.
Although the Summoning Thatch Technique is the most commonly used talisman, the Death Scripture even has records of the Eight Great Daoist Mantras, let alone this commonly used Summoning Thatch Technique. The two low-grade Summoning Thatch Technique talismans I have are also talismans that I usually keep on hand.
The corpse breeder turned his head and lowered his head. He didn't say anything, but the cold gleam in his eyes became thicker.
I chuckled and acted as if I hadn't seen anything. After receiving the Dao Qi, I placed the two talismans on both of our bodies. In an instant, I felt a surge of Qi rising from my body, filling my limbs and bones with enormous power.
Although the corpse breeder still had the Yin energy restriction on his eyes, it didn't conflict with the Mao Summoning Talismans. Under the effect of the Mao Summoning Talismans, he became extremely strong.
Then, I opened the door of the carriage and tied the corpses wrapped in the body bags together. Then, we each carried five corpses and headed up the mountain.
Just like the corpse breeder had told me, we walked around the mountain wall and crossed another mountain. It wasn't until nightfall that we reached a mountain stream at the foot of the mountain.
The mountain stream covered a large area. It was as big as an ordinary village. However, it was strange that there were only a few dilapidated and abandoned houses in the mountain stream. I didn't see anyone there.
It didn't take long for me to find something strange.
The Yin energy in the mountain stream was very thick, but with the help of my Daoist energy, I could see that the source of the Yin energy in the mountain stream was a winding river in the distance.
And this small river flowed out of a seemingly huge cave in a zigzag manner.
The Corpse Sect that the corpse breeder had mentioned wasn't in this mountain stream, but in the cave where the river flowed.
The corpse breeder's eyes were also gazing at the cave, which proved my point.
I didn't wait for him to remind me. I turned my head and said with a smile, "Brother Wei, the Corpse Sect should be here, right?
Put down the corpses on your body, and I'll undo the restriction for you. "
The corpse breeder's face lit up. He hurriedly threw the corpses on the ground and walked toward me.
I smiled and slowly made a hand seal. However, it wasn't a hand seal to undo the restriction, but the Pure Yang Soul Seal that I had used earlier.
As I made the hand seal, the Pure Yang Karma Flame that had returned to my body and hadn't dissipated yet emerged from my fingertips. I then pressed it on the corpse breeder's chest.
