Chapter 225 Mass Burial Forest
At this time, everyone was sitting upright in the school, and there was no morning crying like in other schools.
About half an hour later, when the Taoist bell rang, the academy was already filled with disciples from Class B and W.
Seeing that all the people had arrived, Elder Gao stood up and said: "Everyone, come with me to join the sect."
When Elder Gao left the academy, Zhou Jin walked over to Tian Lin and said, "Junior Brother Tian, this time we are going to the jurisdiction of the Xiangxi Sect. It is not very safe there. It is best for you and me to go together."
"Then please take care of me, Senior Brother Zhou."
The two of them left the academy. Over there, Elder Gao released a building ship in the open space outside the academy.
The building boat is filled with array flags and has three levels: upper, middle and lower.
The disciples flew onto the building boat and saw Calabash Peak getting smaller and smaller under their feet.
On the deck, there were about twenty people in twos and threes. Some went into the house, while others stayed on the deck and looked at the mountains and rivers below.
But the treasure ship was traveling so fast that everyone could only see the mountains and rivers receding, and clouds covering their eyes.
The treasure ship flew like this for more than an hour, and finally stopped above a slightly dilapidated ancient city.
Elder Gao was currently in the attic on the third floor. She did not show up, but she said from the attic: "You can disembark on your own and come back when you can bring back the three mummies."
Tian Lin knew that when a person inhales the death air after death, he will become a mummy and then a walking corpse...
Whether they are mummies or walking corpses, they are divided into lower, middle and upper grades by the Xiangxi Sect.
Because in the eyes of the Xiangxi Sect, the corpse is a magic weapon, so their classification of the corpse's strength corresponds to the level of the magic weapon.
As a result, other sects followed the Xiangxi Sect's call and called those whose strength was equivalent to the first to fourth levels of Qi Refining Stage as inferior mummies, and those whose strength was between the ninth and twelfth level of Qi Refining Stage as superior mummies.
As for the low-level zombies and the medium-level zombies, they correspond to the early stage of foundation building and the middle stage of foundation building.
But the senior brother Xue released by Elder Gao yesterday was the most powerful type of walking corpse among the best, and was definitely not something that the disciples of Class Bing and Wu could handle.
"Disciples follow the orders of the elders."
On the deck, many disciples from Class B and W were eager to try.
Let them catch walking corpses, and they will be a little timid.
But if they use mummies to practice, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Zhou Jin nodded with Tian Lin, then called to Zhou Mengjiao: "Little sister, come here and join me and your Junior Brother Tian."
But Zhou Mengjiao refused:
"Although this is the jurisdiction of the Xiangxi Sect, there may not be many mummies. A group of people gather together, how many mummies are enough to divide them? So I'd better go with Senior Sister Zhao."
She didn't want to be with Zhou Jin, and Zhou Jin didn't force her.
After all, this is the outskirts of Xiangxi Sect, and everyone is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building. Even if you encounter any danger, you can definitely escape.
On the deck, several escape lights lit up, and several disciples flew towards the mountains and forests below.
Tian Lin followed Zhou Jin closely, but when he passed by the ancient city, he slowed down, looked at the empty ancient city and said: "It would be a pity for such a city to be abandoned."
Zhou Jin also slowed down, Tong Tianlin explained:
"Going further west from here, the corpse aura will become heavier and heavier, making it no longer suitable for people to live in. The Xiangxi Sect chose to establish a sect in this area simply because of the corpse aura here.
Similarly, ordinary people and monks moved away from here because of the corpse energy here. ”
Tian Lin heard this and pointed to the official road outside the ancient city: "Is that probably a disciple of the Xiangxi Sect?"
Zhou Jin followed Tian Lin's gaze and saw a young man holding a bell on the official road, shaking it and controlling a group of corpses to walk.
"Although he uses the corpse exorcism method of the Xiangxi Sect, I am afraid he is not a disciple of the Xiangxi Sect. He is a corpse exorcist who lives nearby and sells corpses to make a living."
After Zhou Jin finished speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Why are we going to catch mummies? Just go to the corpse driver and buy a few mummies from Lingshi."
But when the two of them appeared in front of the young man, several students from Class B and V had already appeared in front of the corpse exorcist.
While these disciples from Class B and W were discussing the price with the young man, Senior Brother Changxue also flew over at some point.
Someone was high up in the sky and shouted in a cold voice:
"The lessons assigned by Elder Gao are not difficult. If you just catch a few mummies, you will have to cheat. When you are asked to enter the secret realm in the future, how many Youdu coins do you have to bribe the ghosts and gods inside?"
After hearing what Senior Brother Changxue said, several of the disciples looked ashamed for a moment, turned around and left with their swords.
But there were still a few people who didn't buy Brother Changxue's account, and still dragged the young man to go with him to his house to buy a mummy.
Tian Lin saw this and asked Zhou Jin: "I see there are many corpse hunters around, and it seems there is no shortage of mummies. We really can't catch wild mummies, how about buying mummies from these people?"
Zhou Jin smiled and said: "Actually, what Senior Brother Changxue said before is right. We have to cheat on just three mummies. What will we do when we take the monthly exam at the end of the month?"
He threw the flying sword into the air and flew towards the mountains in an instant.
Tian Lin saw this and followed Gao Jin.
There is indeed dense corpse air in the air, and the five elements of spiritual energy here appear to be extremely scarce. Tian Lin also noticed that there were not only corpse chasers living here, but also some outside monks.
"These monks live in a lodge here just to collect some medicines like Soul Burial Flower.
This kind of medicine is rarely seen outside, but it is most likely to grow in this place where corpse air is densely packed. ”
Tian Lin knows about the soul-burial flower, which is a poisonous weed that likes to grow in places like tombs.
When he first entered the mine in Yulong Continent, he had eaten a lot of Soul Burying Flowers.
"I thought the area under the jurisdiction of Xiangxi Sect would be uninhabited, but now it seems that although the population here is sparse, there are still many villages."
Tian Lin was condescending, and he and Zhou Jin settled outside a village.
Beside the river, several half-year-old children looked at them warily.
The woman who was carrying the wood to the shore threw the wood away and asked nervously: "What advice do you two seniors have?"
As she spoke, she quietly waved the five children beside her to leave.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
But the children all held knives and stood beside the woman, looking like they were fighting to the death.
Tian Lin looked at the driftwood flowing down the river from the mountain. He raised his hand and used his true energy to lift the driftwood down the river. With a flick of his sleeve, the driftwood was piled next to the pile of wood on the shore.
"Madam, don't be nervous. The two of us are disciples of the Taoist sect. This is our first visit to the treasure land, and I would like to ask where there are mummies without owners."
Zhou Jin said it politely, but the woman still did not dare to let down her guard.
She said: "This area is all owned land. If the two seniors want to find ownerless mummies, they will probably have to take risks in the mass burial forest."
Tian Lin and Zhou Jin both looked where the woman pointed, and saw a mountain in the distance filled with corpse aura, and there were dark clouds over the corpse aura, which looked particularly unusual.
"We have already seen that place. Is there any other safer place?"
After Zhou Jin asked, the woman shook her head.
Seeing this, Tian Lin said: "If there are mummies, they may have hunted them away for money. We might as well go to the mass burial forest to see if we can encounter mummies outside."
Zhou Jin was not in a hurry to leave. He took out thirty middle-grade spiritual stones from his storage bag and handed them to the woman:
"Mrs. Lao bought me six mummies. If I haven't come to pick them up by this time tomorrow, Madam will help me raise the six mummies. If I haven't come to pick them up by the end of the month, the six mummies will be given to the children. ”
Thirty middle-grade spiritual stones are obviously more than enough to buy six mummies.
The woman was overjoyed. She took the spiritual stone wrapped in cloth with both hands, and bowed to Zhou Jin and Tian Lin: "Two seniors, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter."
At this time, Zhou Jin took Tian Lin towards the mass burial forest.
"It is said that there are many mummies in the Xiangxi Sect's jurisdiction. Now it seems that there are indeed many mummies, but it is difficult to find the ownerless mummies.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the lessons assigned by Elder Gao. ”
Zhou Jin explained to Tian Lin: "Let's go to the mass grave forest and take a look. If we can't find the mummies, we'll still have to find the village woman for advice."
"But no matter whether I can find the mummy or not, I can't ask my senior brother to help me pay for the mummy."
Tian Lin took out fifteen middle-grade spiritual stones, but Zhou Jin waved them away: "Fifteen medium-grade spiritual stones are nothing to me, junior brother, don't worry about them."
When the two of them arrived at the mass burial forest, they saw several disciples from the Bing and Wu Classes appearing in the mass burial forest first.
Those disciples were outside the mass burial forest. After discovering Tian Lin and the others, they said, "There is no need to go in. Unless you go deep into the mass burial forest, you will not find mummies outside."
"It's better to just find a place, buy a few mummies and go back to do business."
Zhou Jin cupped hands with these people and said with a smile: "Senior brothers, I'll go back first, and I'll go in and have a look with my fellow apprentice Tian."
Several people passed each other, Zhou Jin took out the compass from the storage bag, and took out a small bottle.
He poured a pill out of the bottle, handed it to Tian Lin and said, "This is a detoxifying pill to prevent corpse poison from being difficult to control after it enters the body."
Tian Lin thought for a while, took the elixir and made a swallowing motion.
The two entered the mass burial forest one after another. The heavy fog in the forest blocked their spiritual consciousness, preventing them from looking deeper.
"There is a tomb over there, and a formation has been set up."
Tian Lin suddenly spoke. Although he had not swallowed the detoxification pill, the corpse energy was beneficial and harmless to him.
Zhou Jin followed what Tian Lin was pointing and saw a new tomb appearing in front of them under a big tree.
"There are many new tombs hidden in this row. It seems that people nearby use them to raise corpses."
"Raising corpses?"
Zhou Jin explained:
"Those corpse chasers brought the corpses to such a place with a strong corpse atmosphere and trapped the corpses in them. Over time, ordinary dead corpses will turn into mummies, and ordinary mummies will turn into walking corpses."
After saying this, he said:
"It's best not to touch these new tombs. First of all, these new tombs have obviously been built not long ago, and the dead bodies inside have not yet become mummified. Secondly, there are restrictions around here. If they are not handled properly, the killing array may be triggered. We want to leave then. Can’t leave.”
