I was forced to cultivate immortality when I just wanted to lie down

Chapter 89 Fengguan Xiapei
The wedding procession threw paper money and played musical instruments all the way across the stone bridge.

Inside the bridal sedan, Xu Qing had a smile on her face, but she didn't feel nervous at all.

The moment the two of them touched each other, his Sutra of Saving People had already produced a 'physiological reaction'.

The ghost bride also laughed foolishly, but she didn't know what she was about to face.

The ghost girl was just feeling lucky to have met such a sensible man. If it were any of her previous grooms, they would have either fainted or screamed out loud. But the young man in front of her looked at her as if he wanted to eat her up, and even his hands were not honest.
"My dear, why are you so impatient? I am so embarrassed." The female ghost's eyes were full of love, but she did not resist and let the young man in front of her do whatever he wanted.

Xu Qing leaned against the female ghost, whose body, covered by her red skirt, was unusually delicate and soft.

At this time, he had already pulled up the ghost girl's hand and was stroking it back and forth.

The cool and smooth touch feels like a finely crafted work of art.

While Xu Qing was kneading the ghost girl's little hand, a flash of green light flashed in his eyes.

When the Qi-gazing technique was activated, the jade-like and white hands in front of him instantly turned into pale and withered bones. Xu Qing seemed not to notice and still looked up with a smile as if nothing had happened. This time he finally saw the bride's true appearance.

Under the red veil, the red lips were moist and small, without any dryness at all.

Looking at her skin again, it is still fair and tender, as if it could be blown away.

Xu Qing was surprised for a moment, but when his eyes fell on the bride's neck, he saw a piece of white jade-like joint that extended deep into the collar of the wedding dress.

A skeleton corpse with a lifelike beautiful head on top?

Why are female ghosts still using pictures to deceive people these days?

Using the Qi-gazing technique, the gray-white mist on the ghost girl extended from her feet to her neck. Above her neck, there was a emerald green vitality flowing, as if she had just taken someone else's fresh head and grafted it onto her own head, and the vitality inside had not yet completely dissipated.

"My lady is so beautiful and well-maintained. I wonder what her secret is?"

Xu Qing asked curiously.

The female ghost didn't want to answer, but her three-inch golden lotus feet were suddenly grasped by a big hand.

"My dear, please don't act recklessly. Once we get to your house, I will serve you well."

Xu Qing didn't care, took off her embroidered shoes, and put the small feet on her thighs.

"The good night is short, why wait until then? There's no one else here, why don't you and I do good things right here in the wilderness? Wouldn't that be joyful?"

"Although I am a princess, I am not a legitimate daughter. If I were to have some fun here and be seen by the legitimate princess, I'm afraid I would be punished."

"In that case, my lady, tell me the truth. Why are you so beautiful? What's the secret? If you don't agree, I will do something disrespectful to your feet!"

Xu Qing looked at the female ghost who was hugging his neck and spitting out evil energy from her cherry-like mouth. The Sutra of Salvation in his mind had already become unbearable.

The ghost girl whimpered, biting her red lips tightly and said, "This is a taboo, I can't tell you. If you want to disrespect me, then come on!"

"."

Xu Qing's eyes flashed. Although he had only a few words with the ghost bride, he got a lot of information from it.

The place where Liu Youdao excavated the twin coffins was on the Yinhe Ancient Road. Now he came here and found another twin coffin. This place is most likely the Ghost King's Tomb.

The female ghost called herself a princess, but mentioned that she was not a direct descendant.

This means that the Ghost King of the Ghost King's Mausoleum has more than one daughter, and there are also differences in status among these princesses.

He just asked casually, but the female ghost in front of him would rather offend the princess than reveal the secret of maintaining her appearance.

This actually aroused his interest.

The female ghost had no idea what Xu Qing was thinking. Her sexual desire was aroused and she had already advanced on him. Her wedding dress and veil automatically slipped off, revealing her bare body.

Xu Qing's eyelids twitched as he watched. He put away his Qi-gazing technique and looked again, then nodded in satisfaction.

Blindfolding is still the best method!
With one hand he gently held the ghost girl's slender waist, and with the other hand he held down the ghost girl's hand that was eager to untie his belt.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Are you really ready, my lady? I'm not the type to be gentle with women."

The ghost girl's eyes were as charming as silk, and she spoke with sweet orchids: "I am not afraid. If my husband has this ability, even if I am abused to death, I will be willing."

"Okay, okay! Madam, you are truly sensible and understand the righteousness of the matter. In that case, I will come."

After saying that, Xu Qing suddenly hugged the female ghost's body tightly, and the pages of the Sutra of Salvation in his mind turned rapidly. Countless scriptures and invocations piled up together, like a group of Taoists performing rituals around an altar, or like countless believers in a sacrificial field bowing and worshiping.

This female ghost was too powerful, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control her unless he used all his strength.

Never before had the human sutra been so thick.

Xu Qing was extremely pious and made a great wish. As long as he could get the female ghost today, he would be willing to die immediately and turn into a zombie.

At this time, the wedding procession had already entered a depth of one or two miles into the tomb.

Outside the sedan chair where Xu Qing was, red cloth curtains fluttered and four lanterns flickered.

A shrill scream of pain suddenly rang out from inside the wedding sedan.

However, in just a moment, silence returned completely.

The four red lanterns on top of the wedding sedan were extinguished.

As the only light source disappeared, the entire wedding procession seemed to step into the abyss and fall into the endless darkness of the tomb.

Without the ghost bride in the wedding sedan to maintain the illusion, just a gust of cold wind blew by, and the stone bridge, pavilions, and neat roads in front of them began to twist and deform.

The stone bridges and pavilions in the Jiangnan water town have turned into tombstones and grave mounds, the winding stone roads in the corridors have become rugged and uneven, and the beautiful scenery of lush flowers and trees around has turned into withered and decayed funeral banners and rotten paper.

The sedan bearer in red on the left and the percussion instrument master in white on the right took off their clothes one after another, turned into bone powder, and with a gust of cold wind, they screamed and howled as they dived into the grave mound used for burial.

The curtains had rotted away, leaving only the wooden frame of the wedding sedan sitting quietly in the tomb passage.

Through the window of the sedan chair, one could vaguely see a young man hugging a corpse with only the head intact, as if he was asleep.

But can Xu Qing really sleep in this desolate tomb with no village in front and no shop behind?
That must be impossible.

After Xu Qing heard a shrill cry that sounded like the pain of losing his virginity, he plunged headfirst into the bottomless revolving lantern of the female ghost.

The years do not live, the seasons flow.

Xu Qing saw the scenery of the ancient Yong Dynasty, which was a thousand years ago.

This dynasty was not unified, but was divided into five small countries.

These five countries can be divided into Eastern Yu, Western Qi, Southern Yan, Northern Liang and Zhongjing Dynasty according to their geographical location.

The ghost bride Chu Yu is Princess Yanning of Jing Dynasty.

Chu Yu was not the queen's daughter, but a concubine's illegitimate daughter.

The daughter of the queen is equivalent to the Princess Gulun of the Yong Dynasty, which means the country and is the legitimate daughter of the emperor.

The rank of a legitimate princess is equivalent to that of a first-rank official in the court, and her status is by no means comparable to that of a concubine or a concubine's daughter.

The imperial daughters born to concubines like Chu Yu were only of the same rank as second-rank officials and belonged to the category of Heshuo Princesses, which meant local, and were far less noble than those born to direct descendants.

Chu Yu was naturally intelligent and beautiful, while the legitimate princess was a jealous, plain-looking, and "noble" princess. With her status, the legitimate princess hated seeing others praise Chu Yu, so she often gossiped about her in front of the empress and fabricated rumors in private, having the maids and eunuchs spread them on her behalf throughout the palace.

Chu Yu's biological mother became increasingly haggard because of the gossip, but she could do nothing about it.

Harsh words are like an axe. Even a tree cannot withstand a hundred axes, let alone a person?
Finally one day, Chu Yu's mother, who was entangled in gossip, fell ill. The imperial physicians who came to treat her said that it was a disease caused by depression and could not be cured by medicine.

Chu Yu and her mother are connected by heart, and she knows the root cause of all this.

It was also on that day that Princess Yanning, who had applied powder and rouge and dressed herself up like a bride, brought down the scissors on her pretty face in the bronze mirror.

From then on, Princess Yanning always covered her face with a white veil and never took it off.

Whenever the palace maids and concubines asked about it, she would just say that she had suffered from a carbuncle and that she had to use a knife to release the poisonous blood, and only then was the disease cured.

After the legitimate princess learned about this, she was overjoyed for several days and felt extremely happy.

In the past, when the noble children of various families held banquets, she least wanted Princess Yanning to attend. But ever since Chu Yu's face was disfigured, she took the initiative to invite Chu Yu to attend every time.

If I don't go, she will be unhappy.

One day, Chu Yu met the newly crowned number one scholar at a banquet. The two of them recited poems and wrote couplets, and they got along very well.

At that time, the man and the woman were in love, and the newly crowned number one scholar wanted Chu Yu to lift the veil to take a look at the true face of the talented woman he loved.

Chu Yu, whose face was completely ruined, was unwilling to let the other party see her appearance. She could only refuse to reveal her true face on the grounds that she was ugly.

The top scholar saw that she had a beautiful figure, and the skin on her neck and arms that was inadvertently exposed was very white and delicate.

As the saying goes, a white complexion can hide a hundred uglinesses. How ugly can a woman like this be?
The top scholar seized the opportunity, stepped forward immediately, and said confidently that he only liked the girl's talent and inner qualities, and he didn't care whether she was ugly or not.

If a woman is illiterate, has no talent and no moral integrity, then even if she is as beautiful as a fairy, he will not like her at all.

Chu Yu believed it, but when she really took off her veil and revealed the scars as if there were centipedes crawling all over her body, the top scholar in front of her took several steps back, then apologized for being rude and fled in embarrassment.

At this moment, Chu Yu not only felt a cut on her face, but she also felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Tears fell down her face desperately. This beautiful girl in her prime had fallen into the state of being feared by everyone because of a decision she made in the past.

Another three years passed, and the Northern Liang army approached and reached the imperial city.

Emperor Jing realized that the dynasty's fortune was about to end, so he drove all his concubines and children into the Yinhe Ancient Road to be buried with him, intending to use forbidden methods to establish a royal court in the underworld to continue the dynasty's fortune.

At this time, all the princesses were buried with their husbands, except Princess Yanning, who had not yet married. Upon seeing this, the Imperial Master ordered the craftsmen of Yin Dynasty to build a pair of twin coffins, one for burying Princess Yanning and the other as an empty coffin, so that they could find a husband for her in the future to improve the social order in Yin Dynasty.

When Xu Qing saw this, the screen of the moving lantern suddenly went black, but the Sutra of Saving People was still turning pages.

Looking at the black screen in front of him, Xu Qing quickly came to his senses.

This should be the period of time that Princess Yanning spent in the coffin after her death.

Xu Qing turned the pages of the Sutra faster, and when he saw light again, the scene changed to a hundred years later.

At this time, Princess Yanning, whose flesh and skin had been torn off, had become the Skeleton Princess of the Ghost King's Tomb.

After thousands of years of practice, Chu Yu lured and tricked countless princes-in-law into living in the twin coffins, but in the end they all turned into a pile of bones and rotten soil.

The reason is simple, it's just that Chu Yu was obsessed with stealing other people's vitality during his lifetime, filling his own flesh and bones, and regaining his beautiful face.

Therefore, Chu Yu took a different approach and learned a set of methods in the Yinhe Ancient Road to take away the vitality of living things.

A rabbit can restore her appearance for half a day, while a living person can keep her looking good for a hundred days.

Xu Qing frowned as he watched.

It makes sense that you say this princess used the vitality of these living things to improve her own cultivation, but after she captured so many living people, she actually used most of them to maintain her false body.

It is no wonder that he could not defeat the legitimate princess during his lifetime and was suppressed by her after his death, as he neglected the essentials for the sake of trivial matters.

Recalling the brutal scene in the revolving lantern where the legitimate princess transformed into a ghost and devoured her own prince consort, Xu Qing felt his scalp tighten.

Fortunately, the ghost bride’s obsession is her appearance, otherwise if she had practiced diligently for a thousand years, I might not be able to defeat her!

It should be noted that although the Sutra of Saving People is the natural enemy of corpses, it has inherent limitations.

That means you must touch the body in order to successfully liberate the other person.

If he encounters a formless ghost, or a corpse ghost that is forbidden to get close and can only stand at a distance and use skills, his biggest trump card will be completely useless.

In the picture, Xu Qing saw Chu Yu stretching out his pale little hands, grabbing the lids of the twin coffins, and blocking his door.

Then there is the scene where the ghost bride is held in his arms and is completely moved.

The revolving lantern is over.

The price of the corpse of the Skeleton Bride: top grade.

The Sutra of Salvation rewards one with a set of Qi-Returning-Origin Technique, a set of Phoenix Coronet and a Resurrection Pill that can revive the dead and turn their bones into flesh.

The Qi-Snatching and Returning-Origin Technique can seize a person's vitality and turn it into his own cultivation.

The phoenix crown and bridal robe is a complete set of precious clothes that are impervious to water and fire, can prevent filth, and can protect against swords and weapons.
Xu Qing fell silent. How should this thing be classified? Wedding dress or battle robe?
If it is a wedding dress, its effect has nothing to do with that of a wedding dress.

If it is a battle robe, who would wear a wedding dress when fighting with others?
Xu Qing took out the shawl, which was embroidered with various clouds, flowers, birds, dragons and phoenixes. It looked noble and solemn, and was definitely something that a lady was qualified to wear when she got married.

Look at the phoenix crown again, with its tassels, broad fringe, ring mouth, and precious pendants of various patterns, it is extremely exquisite.

The crown is adorned with an emerald phoenix, and a circle of jeweled tassels hangs down from the forehead, which is crystal clear and smooth.

Xu Qing put on the shawl and the phoenix crown, and felt that they were tailor-made for him. An inch more or less would be wrong, and an inch less would be unacceptable.

As for why I wear this red wedding dress
In Xu Qing's eyes, this tomb is still a red danger zone. Before returning to the coroner's shop, he doesn't know what ghosts and monsters he will encounter on the way.

Wearing this battle robe can at least make him feel more secure. As for whether it is in accordance with etiquette and whether it looks good, compared with his own safety, these can only be put aside.

At this time, Xu Qing was wearing a wedding dress and sitting in the wedding sedan. She looked even more like a ghost bride than Chu Yu.

Finally, Xu Qing took a look at the resurrection pill that could revive the dead and shook his head slightly.

This pill sounds mysterious, but in fact it can only save those living dead who are still breathing. If he takes it, it will not have any effect.

Xu Qing casually threw the resurrection pill into the Shanhetu warehouse, and looked down at the skeleton beauty sleeping quietly in the sedan chair.

On the crystal-white skeleton was the fresh head of Princess Yan Ning.

Xu Qing reached out and picked it up, weighing it like a princess, and it was quite heavy.

Then he looked at Princess Yanning's face carefully.

Her fair face is as white as a flower as she sleeps, and her eyebrows are as dark as spring smoke.

Xu Qing lifted the other person's chin and made a clicking sound.

If he were to say, this is the real powder-faced skeleton.

This skeleton is quite good. I can take it back and use it as Xuanyu's second unit.
