Chapter 385 Pirates in the Shadows
"What are the funeral customs on the island?"
"Ancestors have taught us: We come from the sea, live by the sea, and we will return to the sea after death, so we are all buried at sea."
"When times were good, boats were used to build tombs, but now they can only be wrapped in bark. They can go out to sea at any time in the afternoon, wander around at will, and be thrown into the sea at sunset for burial..."
Listening to the old man's words, Zhang Biao suddenly realized.
Folk customs in various places contain the views of life and death of the people in this world, and the taboos also represent certain ways to avoid disasters.
The Canglan Realm is full of islands and there is not much land. If they are buried casually, evil spirits will inevitably breed over time, and some ghost islands may be created.
Burial at sea is naturally the most suitable.
The blue world and the spiritual world are all rivers of Styx. Even if dead ghosts are born, they will be trapped by the river of Styx.
The reason why they were buried at sunset was probably to keep the corpses away from the island. The corpses would be eaten by fish and shrimps, and the remaining souls would be melted into the River Styx, which was considered a kind of reincarnation.
Therefore, the people of Haihua Island don't pay much attention to this spring that looks like a tomb, or they have never seen it at all...
Zhang Biao looked at the surrounding terrain again and looked at its feng shui, and was speechless.
This sea flower island is shaped like a starfish, and the spring rockery is located exactly in the center, like a nail, nailing the acupoint, which is a real nightmare suppression technique.
The person who dug it definitely had bad intentions.
The question is, didn't any other monks find out?
"When was this spring opened?"
"Originally, there were many springs on the island, but since the anemone flowers disappeared and the monks left, the springs have also lost water one by one. Fortunately, a lady Li who was passing by dug this spring..."
"Later, pirates were rampant in this area, and communication between Haihua Island and other islands was cut off, leaving us alone to survive..."
Speaking of this, all the old men in the village looked sadly.
When they were young, Haihua Island was relatively prosperous, and they lived a lifetime watching their hometown gradually decline.
The common people may not know it, but Chen Chaosheng next to him, as a monk, had already vaguely guessed, and said coldly: "Sir, it seems that someone is causing trouble, but what is the intention of harming a dilapidated village?"
“You’ll know after you dig it up!”
"Yes, dig it out and take a look!"
The villagers nodded in agreement.
They were not fools either. Judging from Zhang Biao's tone, they realized something was wrong, so they all went home to raid the guy and started digging for springs.
Rumble…
The rockery was split open, and inside were small bronze coffins. After opening them, they were filled with baby skeletons...
Afterwards, everyone dug down along the spring eye.
Five meters above, blood spread, and white worms surged inside. The poison was broken by the soul-eating cicada, and all of them died...
Five meters below, the yellow water surged with a pungent fishy smell, like rotten fish and shrimps that had been dead for a long time...
Ten meters below, a strange coffin was finally dug out.
The material of the coffin is bronze, but it has been rusted for a long time. It is in the shape of a sharp cone and penetrates deeply into the earth's veins.
"Soul-stealing magic!"
When Chen Chaosheng saw it, his expression suddenly changed slightly, "This is the method of seizing spiritual veins to refine corpses. The Canglan Realm gathers the miraculous arts of sects from all walks of life. One of the veins can refine the dead body. If the physical body is about to die, it will turn into an evil spirit and continue to practice. "
"Although this technique has many disadvantages, it can barely survive. Therefore, it is widely circulated in private. Evil cultists and some pirates like to practice it."
Zhang Biao frowned slightly, "Why don't you turn to cultivating secular gods?"
Chen Chaosheng smiled bitterly and said: "There are many forces in the Canglan Realm. Except for the Buddhist Dao of Bigui Island and the most powerful Tianshui Dao, it is difficult to gather enough incense, so the number of places for cultivating secular gods is limited."
"Furthermore, not everyone is willing to turn into a secular god to protect the sect, just like the leader of the Five Yins who has cultivated his body."
"I heard that the masters of pirates, apart from this path, would also choose to seize the bodies of spiritual beasts in the sea and turn into half-demon to wreak havoc..."
When Zhang Biao heard this, he understood instantly.
He has used his spiritual vision to check and found that the demon blood Gu was not aimed at the people of Haihua Island, but for the monks in the broken coffin.
Sure enough, after opening the coffin, there was a rotting corpse of a woman inside, soaked in blood, with a hideous and desperate face. There were dense claw marks on the inner wall of the coffin lid.
After being fished out of the bloody water, black hair began to grow all over the body, and the nails continued to grow longer.
Seeing that the corpse was about to transform, the people were so frightened that they backed away.
Zhang Biao reached out and flicked it, and the phoenix thunder fire roared out. The body immediately screamed and curled up into a ball, and was then burned to charcoal.
Boom!
As the zombies were burned and the strange coffin was carried out, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, the wind howled, and the rainstorm became more violent.
The wind came so suddenly that the mud on the ground was kicked up, and the people were blown around.
Just when the fishermen were horrified, the ground shook, and a spring gushed out in the distance, washing away the blocked sediment.
Bang! Bang!
In the blink of an eye, two more springs appeared in the distance.
It's like being held in for a long time. After the sediment is washed away, the gurgling spring water flows out, very clear.
Zhang Biao smiled when he saw this and said: "There is no need to panic. This is because the spiritual energy of the earth veins has returned to smooth flow, and the spring has appeared on its own. You don't need to worry about drinking water from now on."
"Thank you, Master Immortal!"
The fishermen were immediately overjoyed.
They all spoke one after another and wanted to host a banquet for Zhang Biao and others.
Zhang Biao naturally shook his head and refused. Not only that, he also warned in a deep voice: "The matter is not over yet. It is best for you to hide at home these days. No matter what noise you hear, don't go out!"
The fishermen looked at each other in confusion. Although they didn't know why, at this moment, they already regarded Zhang Biao as a god and naturally they did not dare to disobey him.
Sure enough, something happened after nightfall.
The storm suddenly stopped at dusk. In the darkness, the sound of surging water suddenly sounded on the streets of the village, accompanied by the patter of footsteps, and a strong fishy smell overflowed.
The people were hiding in their homes and shivering.
Inside Luo Hongwu, Shen Chaosheng had slightly cold eyes and said, "Sir, as expected, someone came to investigate."
"It's just a ghost illusion, no need to pay attention to it."
Zhang Biao wore a Fang Xiang Nuo mask on his head. He just raised his head slightly and continued to play with the short stick in his hand. He said in a deep voice: "The real master is still above the sea, and his strength cannot be underestimated. This is just an initial test. He wants to lure me to show up. , let’s see who broke their arrangement.”
Chen Chaosheng looked solemn and nodded.
After what happened during the day, they have concluded that this is a fight between two gangs of pirates. On one side, there are masters who repair their bodies on Haihua Island, and on the other side, they break their magic. The people on the island are just the fish in the pond.
There are many pirates in the Blue Realm, and it is not that simple to be able to move among the major forces and even grow stronger.
On each ship, there are at least a few foundation-building monks on board, some powerful pirates, captains and even golden elixir monks.
Only in this way can we survive in the terrifying ocean.
He and Zhang Biao were both in the foundation building stage. One was injured and the other was physically disabled. If they were careless, they would probably fall into trouble.
When Luo Hong saw this, he quickly flattered him, "If the immortal master takes action, those rotten fish and shrimps will be easily caught!"
Zhang Biao glanced lightly and said, "If you think so, then stop practicing. If you stay on the island with peace of mind, you may be able to live longer."
Luo Hong's face turned pale and he was a little at a loss.
After all the ups and downs during this period, Chen Chaosheng had a good impression of Luo Hong, who had a tough character, and reminded him: "In the world of spiritual cultivation, there is a mountain higher than the other, and there are countless methods to restrain each other. Fighting is also extremely dangerous, so don't be careless."
"Look, even those pirates are facing various temptations in this dilapidated Haihua Village. How do you get the confidence?"
Luo Hong was slightly stunned, and suddenly his face was full of shame, "It's me who is talking nonsense, Master Immortal, don't blame me."
Chen Chaosheng shook his head slightly, then looked at the short stick in Zhang Biao's hand and said with some surprise: "This is the broken branch of the Cangmu Spirit. What do you want to do, sir?"
"Sacrifice and refine the magic weapon."
After Zhang Biao replied, he concentrated on playing with it.
He has obtained the two methods of Fang Xiang and Xuanyang, and has even mastered them, but they are destined to be only the basics.
The two sects have been destroyed, and all the techniques after the Golden Pill are nowhere to be found, and they are not top-notch techniques in the world.
He has seen a lot in the chessboard world.
In terms of sword control alone, there are many who are better than Xuanyang Sect. Just like Chi Fengzi, when the sword light comes out, the gods and ghosts are unpredictable. Xuanyang Sect's sword formation skills cannot be compared to them even if they have mastered the golden elixir.
Fang Xiangzong, on the other hand, was broad but not sophisticated. When it came to the art of Gu, it was not as good as the lineage of the Witch King. When it came to the art of curses, it was far different from Black Curse Mountain.
The reason why he has been able to have a smooth journey is all because of his deep blessings, numerous methods, and his spiritual eyes that can see through his weaknesses and exercise restraint accordingly.
In addition, the magic weapons and treasures in the hands are also the key to defeating the enemy. A single Youqian City is equivalent to a golden elixir master protecting the law at all times.
But these are not long-term solutions.
Just like Youqian City, if you want to navigate the world in the future and successfully carry out the ferry mission, you must have your own trump card.
If he wants to go further, he must find his own way.
Zhang Biao's biggest trump cards so far on his cultivation path are the Eye of Spiritual Vision and the Golden Cicada Blood God Gu.
One explores the foundation of all things, and the other integrates the foundation.
His path is naturally to learn from the best of others.
This short stick is a torch weapon, and it is also the first step in his attempt to integrate various techniques.
This is a protective weapon.
The concept is based on the sacred weapon torch of the Fire Sect. The greatest advantage of this magical weapon is that it uses flames to burn the divine power of incense and turn it into a more aggressive divine light.
Wherever the divine light shines, you can protect yourself.
Of course, Zhang Biao's magic weapon is not that simple. This magic weapon combines Xuanyang Sect's Three Yang True Fire Body Protection Technique, Fang Xiangzong's Six Ren Technique and Light Breaking Technique of Intersecting Lines, and even incorporates a small amount of "Jiu".
Using the phoenix thunder fire as a flame, only the remaining branches of the spirit of the blue tree can withstand it. It is a powerful weapon for self-protection.
There are naturally other reasons why it is so troublesome.
In the spirit world, Youqian City has begun to hide in the divine realm, and through the soul-eating cicada, the scene of the sea in the distance can be seen.
It was a huge black ship, shrouded in black mist, forming a strange realm. All the dead ghosts within the range appeared and became fuel for the crew and the magical weapons on the ship.
This is a pirate ship with a "moment", and it has grown in size, but something happened to it, and the ship's hull was severely damaged.
The promotion of the God of Year lacks "moment".
How can you miss the fat meat delivered to your door...
