Chapter 370: Half a Brain
within the screen.
Gloomy and foggy early morning.
The familiar wilderness, the familiar mass grave, the familiar lonely grave mound.
Several hyenas were gnawing on a corpse that had been dead for a day. The greasy limbs had been eaten away, leaving only half of the brain.
As they were growling and fighting for food, a strong and strange aroma appeared.
The hyena looked back alertly, and suddenly its head and body were separated.
A tall and handsome man, nearly two meters tall, appeared behind them at some point, holding a black lacquered crescent-shaped sword that was almost as tall as him and shining with a cold light.
The hyena's blood dripped down the blade.
The man swung the knife high up like a butcher and tried to chop it down, but his hand holding the knife was grabbed by another hand.
The hand was white and bony, and it was impossible to tell whether it belonged to a man or a woman. It looked only half the size of a man's hand.
"Father, you are naughty again. Didn't you agree not to dismember my body before you came out?" The hoarse and cold voice did not sound like a reproach, but rather like a simple soliloquy.
A tall woman stood quietly beside the man.
Gu Yixiao’s sharp and beautiful face was very pale, giving off a ghostly and decadent feeling as if she had been walking in the dark night for a long time.
The "father" was stopped and the chopping action came to an abrupt end. He put down his crescent-shaped sword and stood motionless, much like a door god with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
Gu Yixiao came forward and collected the hyena's body. He finally looked at the half brain and sighed, "I came a step too late. He is in trouble."
Suddenly, rain poured down from the gloomy sky. Raindrops as big as beans fell down very quickly.
Seeing this, Gu Yixiao frowned, and quickly pieced together the half brain on the ground and the broken body skeleton, restoring it to human form.
She raised her hand and used her spiritual power to dig a deep pit, buried the body in it, covered it with soil, and casually took out a blank tombstone from the storage space, placed it in front of the grave, and then left two incense sticks and inserted them on both sides.
Even the hyena's body was carefully pieced together and buried under the roots of a nearby tree, probably because "it can turn into spring mud to protect the flowers."
After Gu Yixiao finished doing all this, he looked around and did not see any naked bodies.
She turned back and was about to leave when suddenly a bolt of lightning struck her.
Gu Yixiao's face darkened, and her figure seemed to disappear into the night. She dodged suddenly, and her "father's" actions were exactly the same as hers.
The lightning didn't strike them, but the small mound of earth next to them.
The small mound of earth was blown up by the explosion and turned into a small pit.
Gu Yixiao saw a cold, slender and graceful hand emerging from the mud.
She was stunned, then she raised her lips with some energy and seemed to smile.
"It can actually withstand the lightning. This corpse must have been a cultivator with high cultivation when he was alive." Gu Yixiao said to his "father": "Let's choose her, father."
"Father" nodded twice.
Gu Yixiao turned around, walked to the small pit, and dug up the soil with his bare hands.
The raindrops fell on the exposed face like shooting stars at night.
Gu Yixiao was stunned again.
Beautiful lips, a delicate nose, thin curved eyebrows, a face as big as a palm, a gentle and beautiful woman.
Gu Yixiao was mainly surprised that someone could die so beautifully, just like the young lady who died for love in the opera.
She reached out and touched Zhu Jiu's face. His skin was delicate and elastic, without any sign of rigor mortis, as if he was not dead.
Most of the corpses she had seen before had died in horrible ways. Mortals would become stiff and decay quickly, but cultivators had their bodies tempered by spiritual energy, so the process of change would be slower and more ugly and elegant.
However, their death will inevitably be accompanied by torn wounds after the fight, and their bodies and expressions will be hideous and ugly.
The woman in front of me was so quiet, as if she was asleep.
It seems that this woman had a high level of cultivation when she was alive, otherwise her corpse would not be so lifelike and with such vivid texture.
I don't know how he died, but he didn't show any pain at all.
Gu Yixiao ran her fingers across Zhu Jiu's eyebrows, eyes, and facial features. In her eyes, this face was just like a pure white Epiphyllum blooming in the rain.
The petals contain dewdrops and tremble timidly, they are so beautiful beyond words.
……
Different from the last time, Zhu Jiu now has three-sevenths of the soul. He is no longer like the first time at Ningyinggang, where his soul was as thin as mist that could fall apart at any time.
Her soul body became much clearer and more stable, and her appearance and figure could be seen clearly.
Zhu Jiu floated beside Yue Shangshuang's "corpse", looking at the pervert who was touching her face intimately with indescribable emotion.
Two days ago, after coming out of the Great Wilderness, Zhu Jiu could no longer suppress the momentum of breaking through. He couldn't hold on any longer as soon as he passed this mass grave, so he hastily dug a hole and buried himself.
Then, his soul left his body and broke through the Nascent Soul. As his realm improved, Yue Shangshuang's pure Yin charm became more powerful, and Zhu Jiu's soul was strengthened...
All in all, this time I lay on the board for longer than last time.
Everything was going smoothly at first, and to prevent any accidents, Zhu Jiu even set up a barrier.
However, that damn "fate" started to play tricks. It had no moral principles and actually sent lightning to strike her grave, destroying the barrier!
The purpose should be to let her in a weak state be discovered by the corpse-herding woman in front of her. After all, Zhu Jiu is now a well-known evil cultivator wanted criminal.
——That "father" was just a corpse controlled by her.
Xing Jun chuckled, "She looks at you like a piece of fat, cheap pork."
Zhu Jiu felt humiliated and clenched his fist to retort: "Nonsense, that's the art appreciation of appreciating the muse."
Xingjun: "Does art appreciation also require observing the quality of meat?"
Zhu Jiu: “…”
Xingjun continued to describe the process maliciously, "She dug you out of the pit."
"Oh my god, where is she touching?"
"...Great, you've been touched thoroughly!"
"Wow, she's starting to take your clothes off!"
"Oh, naked." Xingjun looked excited, chattering in Zhu Jiu's soul, "She pinched your butt and thighs, and seemed very satisfied with your elastic flesh!"
"No way, no way, she's still groping around!"
"How does it feel to be about to lose your virginity? Is it exciting? Are you really not going to put up a fight and resist, Youyou?"
Zhu Jiu: “…”
"He's a corpse shepherd. He's simply checking the wounds and finding out the 'cause of death'. Why is he in such a hurry?" she said calmly.
The cultivation method of the Corpse Herders is somewhat similar to that of the evil cultivators of the Corpse Refining Sect, both of them manipulate corpses to fight for themselves.
But the difference is that the Corpse Refining Sect tortures living people and turns them into corpse puppets in order to maximize their power.
Corpse herders are the exact opposite, they only pick up and refine dead bodies.
Of course, this unpopular group could never catch up with the evil cultivators of the Corpse Refining Sect. After all, the quality of their initial corpses was far behind, and most of it was due to luck.
The corpse herders are weak, and their status in the world of cultivation is equivalent to that of undertakers among mortals. When a cultivator dies, they will invite one of them to prepare the remains and the memorial tablets. They have no sense of existence.
This is also the means by which corpse herders make a living.
They are like wandering corpse-chasers, going wherever there is a dead body.
"Oh." Xingjun heard Zhu Jiu's words and ruthlessly exposed her, "Isn't it because she is quite pretty?"
How about trying a nasty old man? He would be kicked away immediately.
Zhu Jiu pretended not to hear and changed the subject, "I feel like I'm going to run away."
It can be said that everyone in the entire Nine Netherworld recognizes her face. The corpse herder in front of her should also know her, and he will probably hand her over to the immortal sect.
"The amount of spirit stones wanted for me seems to have increased several times. Lily said that it is already 100,000 high-grade spirit stones. Tsk, last time it was only 300,000 medium-grade spirit stones."
In fact, this is the wanted amount of Jiling and Demon King Palace combined.
Xingjun: "You still want to score twice?"
Last time, Zhu Jiu reported himself and cheated the Jiling Empire out of three hundred thousand spirit stones. The spirit stones are still in Baihe's hands.
But Ji Ling must have learned his lesson and is on guard against this move.
Zhu Jiu said unsatisfactorily: "That's not the case. The problem is that I'm only worth 100,000? Is that reasonable?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? We have just sent you two away. Your fortune is still to come. If you work hard, the reward will surely be tens of millions."
"Are you going to Yueyao or the Holy Land of Astrology next? Or your hometown, Supreme Cliff?"
Last time in Canglan Realm, I had met three other evil gods: the frivolous and unruly little prince Chu Yi, the evil and beautiful astrologer Wenren Sejue, and the heroic and calm chief of Jueya, Mo Huaizun.
There is another one whose identity is unknown.
Zhu Jiu’s next stop must be one of these three places.
"Yueyao, this is Jiling, adjacent to Yueyao Country."
Xingjun raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I thought you were going to say the holy land of astrology."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because the unkempt and messy handsome guy is the most handsome." Xingjun narrowed his eyes and recalled, "I know you are lustful."
"How about taking a short nap?"
Zhu Jiu: “……?”
"What nonsense are you talking about? Love without love is just a pile of loose sand, which will be bored as soon as the wind blows! Besides, this is Yue Shangshuang's body, how can I sleep around like that!"
Xingjun was quite surprised, "You are such a decent woman?"
Zhu Jiu was silent for a moment, and said honestly: "I want to sleep with Tiantian a little bit, but forget it, the conditions do not allow it."
While the two were talking nonsense, they had already made plans to silence the corpse-herder who was looking around here and there.
But what was shocking was that this man seemed to be so bewitched by the beautiful body in front of him that he had no intention of taking Zhu Jiu back to hand him over to the Jiling officials in exchange for the sky-high bounty.
