PFC Chapter 229: Even the Corpses Are Not Spared
Chapter 229: Even the Corpses Are Not Spared
That night, the twin sisters were in great pain.
Even though Bai Nianxian is over 200 years old, he is very decisive and vigorous when doing that.
Xu Changshou was worried about danger and kept using a tracking talisman to explore the surroundings.
Suddenly, a graceful figure walked out of the courtyard.
Xu Changshou had an idea and the paper crane flew over. When it got closer, he could see clearly that it was Taishu Xiaoyao who came out.
At this time, Taishu Xiaoyao was only wearing a bathrobe, the same one he wore that day when he seduced Xu Changshou.
"What is she doing out here? Could it be..."
Xu Changshou guessed that Taishu Xiaoyao would go to Feng Lingjun to offer himself, and would not go to Bai Nianxian.
After all, Bai Nianxian is an old man, and Feng Lingjun is relatively young.
Then, contrary to Xu Changshou's expectations, Taishu Xiaoyao actually walked towards the backyard.
"What is she doing in the backyard?"
Xu Changshou was stunned.
You know, the backyard is the sixth courtyard, and only Tai Shuquan lives in this courtyard.
In the middle of the night, Taishu Xiaoyao actually dressed like this to go find Taishu Quan?
It's unbelievable. You know, Tai Shuquan is Tai Shu Xiaoyao's grandfather.
Xu Changshou had heard a long time ago that the relationships between the male and female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect were very complicated, but he never expected it to be so complicated. It completely overturned Xu Changshou's three views.
As he thought this, the paper crane in the sky flew towards the backyard unconsciously.
The paper crane is invisible and no one can see it except Xu Changshou. Taishu Xiaoyao has no idea that she is being spied on.
At this time, there were no guards at the entrance of the fifth and sixth courtyards.
Taishu Xiaoyao pushed the door open and walked into the courtyard.
The courtyard was brightly lit, and with the arrival of Taishu Xiaoyao, the door to the main hall suddenly opened.
At this time, Tai Shuquan was sitting on a cushion with his back to the door.
Taishu Xiaoyao walked up the steps, came to Taishu Quan's back, bowed and said, "Grandpa, your grandson is here."
Tai Shuquan said calmly without even turning his head, "The corpse spirit has been a bit irritable these past two days. Go and calm it down."
"Yes."
Taishu Xiaoyao nodded, and her delicate body trembled involuntarily.
"Corpse spirit, what is a corpse spirit?"
Xu Changshou frowned. It seemed that Taishu Xiaoyao didn't go to see Taishu Quan to do that thing. He just misunderstood.
"Go."
"Grandson obeys."
Taishu Xiaoyao stood up and walked towards the backyard, which was the seventh courtyard.
Xu Changshou had checked this yard before, but he didn't look carefully. Seeing that there was no one in the backyard, he retreated.
At that time, I just felt that the backyard was a bit eerie, but I didn't suspect anything. It seemed a bit eerie because no one had lived there for a long time.
Now it seems that is not the case. There must be something in the backyard.
Could it be that... the corpse spirit that Tai Shuquan mentioned was the dark shadow that attacked Wang Heng that night.
If this is true, then the so-called evil spirit that attacked Tai Shu's family was probably raised by Tai Shuquan himself.
Xu Changshou had also had this suspicion before. The reason was very simple. So many cultivators died in Taishu's family, and all of them were from outsiders. None of them were from Taishu's family.
If the evil demon was raised by someone from Taishu's family, then there are probably only two purposes for him issuing the task.
1. Kill people and steal treasures.
Second, use the essence and blood of these immortal cultivators to feed the corpse spirit in Tai Shuquan's mouth.
The reason why the hearts of those killed cultivators were taken out was because the corpse spirits wanted to suck the essence and blood from the cultivators' hearts.
Then, he, Bai Nianxian and other people who accepted the task were all used to feed the corpse spirits.
Before this, people must have been killed. Shen Gongtu once said that many people died in this mission.
This also makes sense, why Taishu's family gave out thousand-year-old water willow stakes as a reward.
After all, only if the rewards are generous enough can they attract more people.
Of course, the people in the Immortal Cultivation Guild definitely don’t know about this matter. Once the Guild finds out, they will definitely send people to destroy Taishu’s family.
Tai Shuquan was taking advantage of the loopholes in the Immortal Cultivation Union and using the opportunity to kill people and make money.
This kind of behavior is absolutely prohibited by the Immortal Cultivation Association.
However, because all the people who came to carry out the mission before were killed, the affairs of Taishu's family were not exposed.
"What should we do? Should we retreat?"
Thinking of this, Xu Changshou had already begun to consider giving up.
This mission is too dangerous. Not only is Tai Shuquan eyeing him covetously, but even Bai Nianxian and others also have ill intentions towards him.
"No, we can't retreat. We haven't got the Millennium Spiritual Wood yet. Let's get it first."
Xu Changshou decided to stay at Taishu's house and wait and see what would happen.
Since Taishu's family dared to use thousand-year-old spiritual wood to issue tasks, they must have thousand-year-old spiritual wood. Even if Taishuquan had a hundred guts, he would not dare to deceive the people of the Immortal Cultivation Union.
Of course, there was another reason why Xu Changshou dared to stay in Taishu's house.
At this time, in Zi Taishu's family, except for him, there were a total of four foundation-building cultivators, two in the early stage of foundation-building, and two in the middle stage of foundation-building.
To be honest, Xu Changshou didn't take these few people seriously at all.
He has a lot of thunderstorm talismans, and any one of them can kill a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building in seconds.
There are also three wooden thunder talismans that can instantly kill cultivators in the late stage of foundation building.
Of course, he wouldn't take Bai Nianxian and the others seriously. Killing them would be like playing.
The only uncontrollable factor is the corpse spirit mentioned by Tai Shuquan. Xu Changshou is not sure of its strength, nor is he sure what the corpse spirit is.
Squeak!
The sound of the door opening interrupted Xu Changshou's thoughts. Taishu Xiaoyao pushed open the door and walked into the yard.
The desolate yard was covered with weeds and looked a bit eerie.
Taishu Xiaoyao walked barefoot, stepping on the weeds to the door of the main hall.
When you open the door, what comes into view are rows of spirit tablets.
Xu Changshou took a quick look and saw that the tablets enshrined were all of the ancestors of Taishu's family.
It seems that this is the ancestral temple of Taishu's family, but it doesn't make sense. If it is an ancestral temple, it should be clean and tidy, not so desolate.
Taishu Xiaoyao casually turned a spirit tablet, and with a loud bang, all the spirit tablets moved backwards, revealing an entrance to a basement.
The paper crane followed Taishu Xiaoyao into the basement.
Then, the spirit tablet returned to its original position and the entrance to the basement was blocked again.
The basement is spacious, surrounded by stone walls. In the center, there is a black coffin.
Endless eerie air emanated from the coffin, and Xu Changshou finally understood that the reason the backyard was so eerie was because of this coffin.
Taishu Xiaoyao walked over with ease and pushed open the lid of the coffin.
Then, she took off her nightgown, revealing her fair body, and slowly sat down inside the coffin.
Taishu Xiaoyao's delicate face showed a complex expression, sometimes painful, sometimes happy, and sometimes ferocious.
At this time, a pair of dark and sharp claws stretched out from the coffin and grabbed Taishu Xiaoyao's white back.
The sharp claws scratched bloody marks on her smooth back.
I go!
Xu Changshou was stunned. As expected of a member of the Hehuan Sect, Taishu Xiaoyao's openness once again refreshed his three views.
Even the corpses are not spared!
