At this moment, Ye Xuan had already brought Zhou Youwei and his party to a plain.
It's said to be a plain, but it's actually not.
Because there are many graves on this plain.
The various tomb markers were shaking and looked very eye-catching.
"Brother-in-law, is this the corpse of the person carrying the corpse you mentioned?" Zhou Bingyi stood behind, a little scared and said.
"Yes." Ye Xuan nodded slightly.
The corpse-carrying man is an extremely ancient and mysterious existence.
In every major forbidden area, there are corpse carriers.
But the person carrying the corpse rarely appears in front of the world.
Because they contain very strong corpse energy, once a living being is contaminated, it will be corroded.
Those with low strength may even lose their intelligence and turn into unconscious zombies.
It can also be called a zombie.
"Does this corpse-carrying person always carry corpses?" Ye Hao touched his chin and asked curiously.
To be honest, this was the first time he heard of such existence.
Following Brother Xuan into the Hengduan Mountains, I encountered too many magical things.
For example, the mountain ghost before, or the corpse-carrying man now.
Never heard of it before, let alone seen it.
Ye Hao's words also revealed the thoughts of others.
They didn't know much about the corpse-carrying people either.
Ye Xuan said slowly: "Do you think it's easy to carry a corpse?"
Everyone looked puzzled and asked, is it difficult to carry a corpse?
Ye Xuan naturally knew what everyone was thinking. He smiled slightly and said: "The corpse you are talking about is a mortal body. For example, if a normal person carries the corpse of a three-meter-long demon tiger, can he carry it?
?”
"For another example, can a normal person carry a mountain of corpses on his back?"
"Eh? Shan's corpse?" At this time, everyone was confused again.
Are there still bodies on the mountain?
Huang Yue was the only one who nodded with deep understanding and said: "Shan's corpse cannot be carried on his back."
Others don't know, but as a person of the Shanshen Tao who deals with mountains every day, he knows better than anyone else that the corpse of this mountain really exists.
All things have spirits, and mountains are no exception.
When the mountain dies, there will naturally be corpses.
"The highest state of a corpse-carrying person is to carry a corpse to the sky." Ye Xuan said calmly.
"Back to heaven?!"
Everyone was stunned again.
"Let me ask, who in this world can walk with a sky on his back? A person who can carry a corpse can." Ye Xuan said.
The inheritance of the corpse-carrying people is extremely ancient, not even shorter than the Mountain Shinto.
Although the people in the rear no longer understood the person carrying the corpse, they also understood a lot after hearing Ye Xuan's words.
Is this the person carrying the corpse?
Strong!
At this moment, there was a sudden noise from ahead.
When everyone heard the voice, they turned around and their eyes froze.
Not far ahead, I saw an earthen grave being dug up.
Immediately afterwards, a figure emerged from the earthen grave, and behind him, there was a corpse on his back!
"Eh?!"
This scene is confusing.
"How did the corpse-carrying man crawl out of the grave?" Everyone was very puzzled.
Even Huang Yue looked stunned.
This was the first time he had seen it.
Ye Xuan put his hands in his pockets and said with a smile: "The people who carry the corpse have a tradition. When they carry the corpse, they will dig up the grave, bury themselves in it, and bury themselves with the corpse for ninety-nine and eighty-one days. With the permission of the owner of the corpse,
Only under certain circumstances will they climb out with the corpse on their backs, and then walk around the world to fulfill the corpse owner's last wishes. The more wishes they fulfill, the greater the power they will gain from the corpse owner during his lifetime."
"To put it bluntly, this is a transaction. Otherwise, why do you think they would carry the body for no reason?"
Carrying corpses is actually a very unique way of cultivation.
Just like the Mountain Shinto, their cultivation methods are different from ordinary monks.
They rely on worshiping mountains and canonizing mountain gods to make themselves stronger.
As for those who carry corpses, they rely on carrying corpses to gain cultivation.
With the permission of the corpse owner, they will carry the corpse on their backs and walk around the world to fulfill the corpse's last wish.
The more wishes they complete, the greater their strength will be.
If a corpse-carrying person is strong enough to help an emperor-level figure fulfill his last wish, then they will carry the emperor's body on their back, walk around the world, and eventually achieve emperor-level strength.
This is an extremely alternative way of cultivation.
But few people would choose to take the path of corpse-carrying.
Because this road is very difficult to walk, and their own actions are to deal with the dead, which leads to them having a natural enemy.
Yin dog!
That is, the guide to the underworld.
Among the people who lead the way to hell, the two most hated types are the corpse carriers and the coffin bearers.
Putting aside the coffin bearers, the grudges between the corpse bearers and the guides to the underworld have lasted for countless eras.
From the moment the corpse-carrying man was born, this ending was destined.
In addition, they will also be involved in various causes and effects because they fulfill the corpse owner's last wish.
The most difficult thing to break in the world is the cycle of cause and effect.
Including Ye Xuan now, no one can escape the cycle of cause and effect.
If you want to become a corpse carrier, you must be prepared to be contaminated by many causes and effects in advance.
After everyone heard Ye Xuan's words, they all suddenly realized.
It turns out that this is the case.
Carry corpses and fulfill last wishes to gain cultivation.
This was completely beyond their knowledge.
"So, if someone comes to you in the future, don't be surprised. It must be the person carrying the body who is fulfilling his last wish. Of course, they will definitely not reveal their identity as the person carrying the body."
Ye Xuan said with a smile.
He spent a lot of time as a corpse carrier back then.
But this is all because of that guy, the Lord of the Buried Emperor. During those years, he couldn't control his body and could only obey the orders of the Lord of the Buried Emperor.
During those years, Ye Xuan also learned a lot.
He is very familiar with the lineage of corpse-carrying people.
Under the gaze of everyone, the person carrying the corpse in the corpse field climbed up from the earthen grave, carried the corpse on his back, ran wildly over the corpse field, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
You don't need to think about it to know that the corpse-carrying man went to fulfill his last wish.
"Is this the person carrying the corpse..."
It was an eye-opener for everyone.
"What about the papermaker, brother-in-law?" Zhou Bingyi was very excited after seeing the legendary corpse-carrying man.
Ye Xuan told her too many things before.
The body bearer, the coffin bearer, the paper maker.
It is said that in Hengduan Mountain, in addition to the corpse carriers, there are also papermakers.
"I guess you can't see the paper makers. They can hide better than the corpse carriers, but I can teach you the paper tie technique if I have the chance in the future." Ye Xuan said.
"Okay." Zhou Bingyi was quite disappointed, but it got better after a while. After all, she saw the person carrying the body, so it was over and it was just a wish.
Just then.
Ye Xuan's smile faded and he sighed slightly.
When everyone saw this, they were a little confused.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Youwei asked softly.
"It's okay." Ye Xuan shook his head.
At that moment, the feeling he had left on Ning Zongtang disappeared.
This means that Ning Zongtang died in Zhongxuan Mountain.
He had already anticipated Ning Zongtang's behavior, which was also the significance of his conversation with Ning Zongtang.
Unfortunately, Ning Zongtang insisted on his own idea, and Ye Xuan did not persuade him.
Ning Zongtang has been sleeping for 40,000 years. Coupled with the tragic defeat 40,000 years ago, his sword heart is actually in pieces.
Even after Ning Zongtang woke up, he still showed terrifying strength.
But Ning Zongtang's sword heart was always on the verge of collapse.
This is very fatal to a sword cultivator.
It's just that Ning Zongtang has been holding on for the sake of the Emperor's Immortal Sect.
He is a dying person after all.
Not even Ye Xuan can save a heartbroken person.
Ning Zongtang's action this time was actually reshaping the sword's heart, and it also announced the end of the old era of the Emperor's Immortal Sect, and handed out the sword to the new generation of the Emperor's Immortal Sect.
This is a spiritual inheritance, which is great.
Ye Xuan respects such a person.
In the endless years, Ye Xuan has seen many people. They may not be outstanding, or even just ordinary people.
But what they did is worthy of admiration.
Ning Zongtang is one of them.
A young man who once dreamed of traveling to the end of the world with a sword, in his twilight years, handed out the last sword to his descendants.
The sword points at Zhongxuan Mountain.
The first mountain in the Eastern Wasteland that once belonged to the Huangji Immortal Sect.
It seems to be telling the world.
Zhongxuan Mountain, after all, belongs to the Huangji Immortal Sect.
Getting it back is just a matter of time!
"It should belong to the Emperor's Immortal Sect, and it will always belong to the Emperor's Immortal Sect." Ye Xuan looked up at the sky and said softly.
This sentence is addressed to Ning Zongtang who has passed away.
