Chapter 55 The Mysterious Corpse
The most luxurious country house on a mountainous township street is full of sadness. This villa is the home of the ghost man. Although this man lives in a small town, his reputation is very great within a radius of dozens of miles and hundreds of miles.
This person looks like an ordinary mountain man on the surface, but his family is more wealthy. But in fact, he is a cruel man who secretly controls the underground forces in many surrounding towns and even several counties. This person is not only cruel, but also very ugly, so no one from his neighbors or villagers on the same street dares to go to this villa. Even when he passes in front of this villa, he walks quickly for fear of getting into some trouble. Therefore, the villa has always been very deserted.
Since the owner of the villa, the man, who was found dead in an underground secret room by his family a few days ago, this mountain town seems to have suddenly come back to life, and those excited people can be seen everywhere. Only the villa has become colder after a few days of trouble.
Zhou Cheng stopped in the air and released his thoughts to scan the villa under him. However, there was nothing abnormal in the villa. Don't say anything strange, even some words about practice, magic or the treasure.
But Zhou Cheng doesn't believe that the man really won't leave a clue. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly remembered the underground secret room. If the man really left something, it would definitely be hidden by him in the secret room.
After sneaking into the secret room again, Zhou Cheng found some abnormalities. In the scanning of the divine mind, somewhere in the secret room was empty, in which there was an old book and a black token.
He waved his tentacles to break through the wall of the secret room and took out the ancient book and the token. Zhou Cheng first took a look at the black token and saw that the token was polished from a kind of black jade, which was about three inches long. On the one hand, it said 'The Peripheral Disciple: Wu Wei' and on the other hand, he wrote 'Dead Soul Valley Corpse Demon Sect'.
It can be seen that the ghost-raising person should be named Wu Chuan, and this token is an identity certificate issued to him by a sect or organization called the Demon Sect. The black jade that made this token has been practiced by monks, and there are some spells engraved in it. Therefore, although this token is not a magic weapon, it is enough for ordinary people to imitate.
But Zhou Cheng didn't care too much about the token, just took a look and threw it back to the ground. Then use a little magic to turn over the ancient book, intending to find some clues about the treasures that have been renamed as theyin fan in this ancient book.
Use magic to turn over the writing, remember the contents of the book, just for a moment, and remember all the contents of the ancient book. Zhou Cheng was a little disappointed and destroyed the ancient book with force. This book is just a record of the art of raising ghosts, and there is no information he wants to get.
However, there are some modern papers in the collection, some of which are related to the flag. These pieces of paper are what Wu Wei used to record some important things in his life. Zhou Cheng learned from these records that Wu Wei is indeed a member of an evil sect called the Corpse Demon Sect.
This sect is very secretive. It is rumored that the sect was created by a demon called an old monster. The mountain gate of the sect is in a place called the Valley of the Dead in the mountains. This valley of the dead is not in Anhui, but in the rolling mountains of Sichuan and Yunnan in the southwest, which is an extremely gloomy place.
Wu Wei didn't know how many people there were at the bottom of the Demon Sect because his identity was too low. He just mentioned in the record that there were many peripheral members of this sect who practiced magic like him. However, the members of the inner door are all immortals with vast magical powers, and even some living immortals who can escape from the sky and have incomparable magic power.
Seeing this, Zhou Cheng knew that the living immortal in Wu Wei's eyes must be a monk who practiced to the soul. What really attracted Zhou Cheng's attention was that the peripheral members mentioned in the records that all of the Demon Sect had practiced evil arts, and they were sent by sects to various places to carry out some tasks.
For example, Wu Wei's task is to collect ghosts, and then use these ghosts to kill ordinary people's lives and absorb the essence of ordinary people. Whenever he collects enough ghosts and spirits, Wu Wei will go somewhere in the southwest mountain to hand over ghosts and spirits to some people of the sect. Then he can get something from that person, such as money, treasures, elixirs, magic tricks or items that can enhance his magical power. If he is lucky enough, some peripheral disciples are extremely lucky and can even change to some symbols.
The reason why this information attracted Zhou Cheng's attention is that a special paragraph pointed out the source of the flag.
The flag is called the ten thousand ghost flag in Wu Wei's record, and the reason why it is called the ten thousand ghost flag means that it has a great effect in collecting ghosts. The flag can capture thousands of ghosts and accommodate countless spirits.
If an ordinary ghost raiser is absolutely impossible to manipulate thousands of ghosts for his own use as an ordinary person like Wu Wei. Because they don't have a device similar to the ten thousand ghost flag that can capture thousands of ghosts, and they are not monks and can't have the ability to sacrifice magic weapons, so they have to find some ordinary things to store ghosts. And every mortal can only accommodate one ghost, and this ghost has already existed in this object, but it has been discovered and used by them.
And the peripheral members of the Corpse Demon Sect like Wu Wei are on tasks. If there is no suitable equipment to collect ghosts and contain spirits, then don't want to complete those tasks. Therefore, the corpse will send two items when sending out the peripheral members, one is an identity token and the other is a device used to collect ghosts.
These utensils are simply sacrificed by monks. Although they can't be called magic weapons, and even symbols, they are useful for collecting ghosts. However, the utensils issued by the sect are of extremely poor quality, so some peripheral members will use the collected ghosts and essences to exchange for better instruments in the later stage.
Wu Wei's ghosts are the best utensils he got when he went to hand over ghosts and spirits. In addition to the ten thousand ghost flags in his hand, the corpse demons also has a large number of other ten thousand ghost flags, but the quality of those ten thousand ghost flags is much worse than that of Wu Wei's.
"Is it possible that there are many kinds of ghost flags in the world? From Wu Wei's records, it can be seen that the Wangui flag is just something made in batches and specially used by the corpse sect for peripheral members, which is nothing in the eyes of those monks. How is this possible! You should know that the things that make the ten thousand ghost flag are extremely magical. It is already incredible that there can be one in the world. How can there be many more!"
No wonder Zhou Cheng will suspect that since there are many monks in the corpse sect, even if they can't find the real wonderful use of the ten thousand ghost flag, they can also know that the ten thousand ghost flag is by no ordinary things, because the ten thousand ghost flag is nothing in the minds of the monks. Even if only one monk has scanned it with his mind, he can know the abnormality. It is impossible to say that none of the many monks of the Corpse Demon Sect have ever found this abnormality!
"Absolutely impossible--_", together with this speculation, Zhou Cheng immediately denied it again. But Zhou Cheng also couldn't figure out why the corpse demon sect had found the abnormality of the ten thousand ghost flag and distributed it as a peripheral member of ordinary people.
"Is it because the monks in the Demon Sect found that although the Ten Thousand Ghost Flag was abnormal, they still could not be sacrificed as a magic weapon after a long time of research, so they regarded it as useless?"
At the thought of this, Zhou Cheng couldn't help but feel hot. Although he can't sacrifice it into a magic weapon at all now, the thousands of ghosts alone have been used and magically. Therefore, when he thinks that there may be countless such things in the world, he can't wait to take all the ghost flags and return them to himself.
More importantly, if you can find the origin of the materials for making the flag of the ten thousand ghost flag, you may be able to find a turning opportunity to practice the sacrifice into a magic weapon. Even if you can't, Zhou Cheng will never think that he has too many things, but hopes that more is good.
Therefore, Zhou Cheng couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. He immediately went out of the underground secret room and flew directly to the southwest, dreaming of capturing countless ghost flags in the near future.
However, will things really be as Zhou Cheng thought? Are there really many kinds of ghost flags in the world? Anyone who is outside will instinctively know that it is impossible. But Zhou Cheng has been occupied by greedy ideas at this time, and he can't calmly think about the truth.
It is often said that blessings and misfortunes are brought by themselves. Zhou Cheng's departure caused a huge trouble, which was the consequence of greed.
Along the way, Zhou Cheng flew straight to the southwest and vowed to rush to the Valley of the Dead to seize all the ten thousand ghost flags.
After flying for several hours, Zhou Cheng finally came to the continuous mountains in the southwest, but Wu Wei's record only wrote the approximate location of the Dead Soul Valley and was not specific. Therefore, Zhou Cheng could not determine where the Valley of the Dead was, so he had to search back and forth hundreds of thousands of miles.
