After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 214 The secret of the underground palace, the Three Corpse Sacred Tree!

"You called that goshawk?"

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

"nonsense."

The Wutong tree said angrily, "As soon as you left, I communicated with it and asked it to come over. Otherwise, why would it come to Jianfeng Temple in the middle of the night?"

It turned out to be the case.

"Then I have to thank Master Wu."

Chen Yang thanked him sincerely, "Where is it now?"

"Return to the Temple."

"Uh……"

Chen Yang paused. He originally wanted to say that if the goshawk was still in Jianfeng Temple, he could ask it to help search for Liu Changqing's whereabouts.

Wutongshu sighed, "You guys really made the stupidest choice. I know better than you how strong Jintan is. Why do you have to offend him for no reason..."

"What Elder Wu said is wrong."

Chen Yang waved his hand. "Originally, I didn't really want to be his enemy, but tonight, he showed great malice towards me. He and Ding Huanchun are birds of a feather. He won't let me go, and I certainly won't let him go."

"Hey."

The phoenix tree let out a long sigh and subconsciously wanted to say, when will the cycle of revenge end?

But, after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.

He could feel that Chen Yang was filled with hatred, and this hatred was so deep that he could not stop it with just a few words.

Finally, the phoenix tree said, "He is living in such a muddleheaded way, which is also a sin. If you can really send him away, then send him away, and consider it a good deed..."

"However, you have to be careful. Jin Tan has at least five powerful minions in his hands. You should know how powerful these insects are. If he wants to deal with you, he may not even need to do it himself..."

"It's actually very simple to identify whether a person is parasitized by worms. If a person is parasitized by worms, there will be a vertical red line on the fingernail of the finger. The darker the color, the more thorough the parasitism..."

"Some people who are completely parasitic and have completely lost their independent consciousness will even have their ten fingernails turn red..."

"Also, look at the eyes. The whites of the eyes of people infected by the parasites will gradually turn red..."

……

Wutongshu talked eloquently and introduced Chen Yang to the information related to the minions.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master Wu."

To be honest, Chen Yang really didn't know what Wutongshu said.

In the Essentials of the Cultivation and Control of Poisonous Insects of the E School, there are very few records about this kind of poisonous insect, only some general descriptions.

"The accomplice insect ranks fourth among the ten strange insects. It is very powerful and should not be underestimated. Although you have a way to kill them, you can't guarantee that they will use someone else to deal with you. It can be said that it is hard to guard against. There is nothing I can do to help you. You should be careful."

Wutongshu spoke earnestly, saying that now that things had come to this, there was not much he could do.

Chen Yang saved its life and was its savior. Of course, it didn't want to see Chen Yang get into trouble.

After a pause, Chen Yang asked, "Old Wu, do you really know nothing about the underground palace?"

"Hey."

Hearing this, the paulownia tree sighed.

Then there was a long silence.

"Mr. Wu, do you have any secrets?" Chen Yang asked.

"It's not a secret that is hard to tell. I'm just hesitating whether I can tell you!"

"What can't you tell me?"

"Ah."

Wutongshu chuckled. "This secret is not known by many people in the world today. Once it gets out, it will probably drive many people in your Panshan business crazy."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Chen Yang was a little stunned when he heard this.

Instead, he became even more curious. What was in the underground palace that deserved what the Wutong tree said?
"It's not an exaggeration at all. If I tell you, you will most likely not be able to resist the temptation and go to the underground palace to take risks. In the end, you will most likely lose your life in there."

"Master Wu, my ability to resist temptation is still very strong."

"Haha, don't overestimate yourself."

Wutongshu chuckled, "Over the years, the only person who knew the secrets of the underground palace and was able to resist the temptation was Jin Ming."

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, seeing that Wutong Shu had a high opinion of Monk Jin Ming.

"Now that you mention it, I'm even more curious."

Chen Yang raised his head and looked at him with burning eyes, as if to say, hurry up and tell me, I can't wait any longer.

Wutong Tree was silent for a moment, which whetted Chen Yang's appetite. Then he slowly spoke, "I see that you also know some skills of controlling insects and beasts. Moreover, it seems that it is the orthodox control technique of Shao'e Mountain..."

Chen Yang did not deny it, nor did he interrupt. He just didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this.

Wutongshu then changed the subject, "Then you should know more or less about the ten strange insects, right?"

Chen Yang nodded, "I understand, but not much."

This is not false.

The Essentials of Raising and Controlling Poisonous Insects of the E School does contain records of the ten most bizarre insects.

For example, this insect ranks fourth; and this flying centipede ranks eighth.

But records are just records, and the content information is limited.

The cultivation and control technique he is inheriting now is only at the intermediate level. Perhaps after advancing to the advanced level, there will be more detailed information.

"Then do you know which insect ranks first among the ten strange insects?" asked Wutong Tree.

Number one?

Chen Yang immediately searched his mind and a name appeared in his mind.

"Three corpse worms?" Chen Yang blurted out.

"good."

The paulownia tree shook its branches gently.

Three corpse worms.

Ranked first on the list of strange insects.

To be precise, this is a kind of phantom bug.

Among the ten strange insects, except for the Three Corpse Insect, the other nine insects have physical form and even specimens exist. But the Three Corpse Insect, which ranks first, is like the dragon in the Chinese zodiac, more like a concept that exists in fantasy.

The Han Dynasty's "Hetu Jimingfu" records that "there are three corpses in the human body. The three corpses are actually souls, spirits, ghosts and gods."

The Taoist "Tai Shang San Shi Zhong Jing" also records that "When people are born, they all take shape in the womb of their parents and are fed with the essence of the five grains. Therefore, there are three corpses and nine insects in the human stomach, which are great harm to people."

Taoists also gave names to the three corpses. The upper corpse is named Peng Ju, which is in the human head; the middle corpse is named Peng Zhi, which is in the human abdomen; and the lower corpse is named Peng Jiao, which is in the human feet.

This insect is so illusory that even the person who made the list may not have seen it with his own eyes.

Chen Yang looked at the Wutong tree in confusion, not understanding why the Wutong tree mentioned this.

Could it be that there are three corpse worms in that underground palace?
Wutongshu said, "The underground palace has existed for a long time. More than a hundred years ago, a man named Shi came to Bamianshan. He expanded the underground palace and placed a sacred object of the Pingtian Sect inside..."

"This divine object is called the Three Corpse Divine Tree..."

"The Three Corpse God Tree?"

"good."

The phoenix tree sighed, "That is a sacred tree that can grow three corpse fruits and breed three corpse insects..."

"It is said that after this kind of insect takes residence in the human body, it will devour the good and evil of the person, as well as their self-awareness..."

"The Taoists believe in beheading the three corpses. They believe that as long as one cuts off good, evil and the self, and cuts off all lust, one can attain the truth of the Tao and become a god."

"Do you know Tianren?"

"Above the spiritual realm is the realm of creation, above creation is the realm of truth, and above truth is the realm of heaven."

"Destroying the Three Corpses may sound easy, but it is an extremely difficult process to carry out. Without strong willpower, it is absolutely impossible to succeed. Throughout history, there are only a handful of people who can reach that level..."

"So, someone thought of a shortcut, and this shortcut is the Three Corpse Insects, which ranks first on the list of strange insects."

"After the three corpse worms enter the body, they will actively devour the host's goodness, evil and self. They are simply born specifically to chop corpses..."

“When the three corpse worms grow up and devour the three corpses of the original body, at this time, all you need to do is to scare the three corpses and guard Gengshen for seven times to lure out the worm body and kill it. Then the three corpses will be completely extinct and you can ascend to heaven…”

"Of course, this is just a beautiful idea. It is not clear whether anyone has succeeded. Although the method of killing the three corpses is simple, the three corpse worms are not easy to find..."

"Legend has it that the Three Corpses Sacred Tree can breed this insect."

"This tree was cultivated by the Pingtian Sect back then. It was brought to Bamian Mountain by the man surnamed Shi and planted in the underground palace."

“That person was already at the realm of good fortune at that time. During the time he was at Bamian Mountain, he spent a lot of energy trying to make the Three Corpses Divine Tree blossom and bear fruit, giving birth to the Three Corpses Worms. He wanted to use the power of the Worms to kill the corpses, enter the realm of Dao Zhen, and thus reverse the situation…”

"What a pity, he didn't wait until that moment and was defeated and died..."

"At this point, no one knows the secret of the Three Corpses Sacred Tree."

"Many years ago, a few young people came to Jianfeng Temple and saw the handwritten letter left by the man in the cave. From the letter, they learned the whereabouts of the Three Corpse God Tree..."

……

The paulownia tree seems to be telling a very long story.

Only a creature like it, which has experienced hundreds of years of vicissitudes, can tell the events of dozens or hundreds of years ago in such detail. After Chen Yang finished listening, he could not calm down for a long time.

"Those young men, are they Ding Huanchun and others?" Chen Yang asked.

"Ah."

The leaves of the phoenix tree rustled, and it seemed that it was not at peace. "There is Ding Huanchun, and there is Liu Changqing, a man and a woman, a total of six people..."

"They were so happy that they went to the underground palace together, but in the end they returned empty-handed..."

……

In other words, the real purpose of Ding Huanchun doing so many things and cultivating so many spiritual creatures is for the Three Corpses Divine Tree?

To be exact, for the three corpse worms?

It was not until this moment that Chen Yang felt that the world had suddenly become clear. Some of the problems that he had been unable to figure out before now had answers.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yang said, "So, you said before that the fruit Liu Changqing took out from the underground palace was the fruit of the Three Corpse God Tree?"

"may be."

Wutongshu sighed, "That fruit looks evil, it doesn't seem to be from a good source. He made medicine out of the fruit, and after eating it, his personality changed drastically. I guess there really are three corpse worms, devouring his self-consciousness, causing him to be confused all day long..."

"Ah."

Chen Yang couldn't help but chuckle.

It is understandable that the Three Corpse Insects devour good and evil, but if they devour even self-consciousness, can this person still be considered a human being?

He didn't quite understand.

Or maybe, his realm is not high enough.

Now, he hasn’t even reached the spiritual realm, so how can he talk about killing the three corpses?
The Wutong tree said, "That person failed to grow the tree back then. Ding Huanchun tried his best but failed to grow the fruit. In the end, Jintan got the advantage. However, it is still hard to say whether the fruit is the Three Corpse Fruit..."

Chen Yang said, "Liu Changqing should only be in the Spirit Realm. Can a person in the Spirit Realm behead a corpse?"

Wutongshu smiled and said, "Of course, according to the Taoist teachings, the sooner you kill the three corpses, the easier it will be to improve your realm. After that, your cultivation will be smooth sailing without any obstacles..."

Chen Yang shook his head. "Why bother? It makes me neither a human nor a ghost..."

"Why? For a longer life, for stronger power. You are still young, there are some things you cannot experience..."

"That may not be the case. A hundred years of life is enough. What's the point of living too long?"

"You, you talk while standing, and you don't mind the pain in your waist. When you are in your seventies or eighties, on your deathbed, and there is such a chance to increase your life span in front of you, you will probably be crazier than them..."

"Mr. Wu, you underestimate me. What is honey to others may be poison to me. What others think highly of may not necessarily be valued by me."

Chen Yang shook his head. At least for now, he really didn't value these things.

Of course, maybe he is really too young and cannot feel the importance of life.

Wutongshu said, "If you want to deal with Jintan, you'd better hurry up. Otherwise, if he really kills one of your corpses, he will enter the realm of good fortune. At that time, it will be even more difficult for you to deal with him..."

"learn."

Chen Yang nodded slightly, "Thank you, Master Wu, for clearing up my doubts."

"Don't be so polite. I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive for many days."

The Wutong tree sighed and spoke from the bottom of its heart.

"It's just a little effort."

"It's just a piece of cake for you, but it's a life-saving grace for me. If you have time in the future, you can come to the temple to see me often. Now, Jin Ming is gone, Jin Tan is gone too, and no one in the temple talks to me anymore..."

His words were full of emotion and loneliness.

Perhaps this is the side effect of living too long.

Over the years, since it gained consciousness, it has seen countless generations pass by. It has witnessed the growth and disappearance of generation after generation, but it is the only one that has survived. This requires a very strong heart.

Therefore, some people seek immortality and are willing to give up everything for it. However, life is a hundred years long, and people are subject to birth, aging, sickness and death. If one forcibly breaks this law, he will always have to bear its side effects.

This side effect is called loneliness.

……

-

The next day, the three of them went down the mountain.

Liu Changqing ran away, and there was no point in them staying in the mountain anymore.

This trip to Jianfeng Temple was worthwhile as I was able to get so much information from the Wutong tree.

At least, he knew what was inside the underground palace.

At the foot of the mountain, Liu Henghu got on his motorcycle and put on a helmet.

The three chatted for a while, and then a loud horn sounded on the mountain road.

Soon, a large bus turned from the mountain road and drove straight towards them.

Liu Henghu quickly pushed the car to the side.

The bus stopped where they had just stood.

A snort.

The car door opened and a group of men and women got out of the car.

Chen Yang was a little surprised.

Is the Jianfeng Temple on Bamianshan really so famous that there are actually tour groups coming here?

At this time, Qinzhou seemed to have discovered something extraordinary and immediately turned his back.

He looked like a man caught cheating by his wife and her gang.

More than 20 meters away, Chen Yang looked towards the car door.

It suddenly dawned on me.

A young man wearing a thin vest and covered with tattoos walked out of the car.

That face is indeed familiar.

Ding Chengyong!
It’s Ding Chengyong from the Ding family.

Chen Yang's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Why did this guy come here?
Is it...

At the same time, Ding Chengyong also looked over here.

Qinzhou was carrying him on his back, so he naturally didn't recognize him. Liu Henghu was wearing a helmet, making it even harder to recognize him.

As for Chen Yang, he didn't even know him.

After his gaze briefly rested on the three of them, Ding Chengyong retracted his gaze without any doubt at all.

People got off the car one after another.

There are men and women, old and young.

There were more than thirty people in total, and they gathered together after getting off the bus. An old man in his sixties stood in front of the team, lecturing them and instructing them on something.

Are they all from the Ding family?

Chen Yang scanned with the system and found that almost everyone's physical strength was above 100 points.

There is also the Sihai Group logo on the body of the car.

Apparently, it was the Sihai Group’s special car.

That’s right, it’s someone from the Ding family.

The old man gave them a few simple words of lecture, and then everyone put on their backpacks and headed towards the mountain road.

After the crowd had gone far away, Qinzhou slowly turned around.

The three men watched the team go up the mountain without speaking for a long time.

"The Ding family reacted very quickly." After a while, Liu Henghu frowned and said.

With his keen eyesight, it was not difficult to see the origins of this group of people.

At this time, it is not difficult to imagine the purpose of the Ding family sending so many people to Bamianshan.

Most likely they are heading for the underground palace.

In other words, the plan Chen Yang had set up earlier should have taken effect.

The Ding family should have checked the authenticity of the things Ding Chengyong took back.

The Ding family must have also asked the horse caravan to confirm, and it was basically confirmed that Ding Huanchun's remains were in the underground palace of Bamianshan.

There is no reason why the Ding family didn't know the relationship between Ding Huanchun and the Bamianshan Underground Palace.

Therefore, it is credible to a certain extent that Ding Huanchun's remains are in the Bamianshan Underground Palace.

Now that the whereabouts of our ancestor's remains have been determined, we have to find a way to retrieve them and bury them.

Therefore, the Ding family will definitely send people to the Bamianshan Underground Palace to look for the remains.

At present, it seems that there are huge secrets hidden in the Bamianshan underground palace. The Ding family will not let outsiders get involved in such matters, so only the elite of the Ding family will be sent.

In fact, Chen Yang set up such a situation just to wait for this moment, so that the Ding family would send people to the underground palace and use the existence in the underground palace to consume the strength of the Ding family.

The intention is extremely malicious.

However, Chen Yang did not think it was excessive when dealing with his enemies, no matter how vicious they were.
