Chapter 1320
: Wolf in front and tiger in back
Is the existence of ghost cultivators really just to avoid the underworld and to exist in the world forever?
It is not a small skill, but a unique practice system.
Any system of practice has its own ultimate goal.
For example, in Taoism, the ultimate goal is to become an immortal.
Another example is Buddhism, whose ultimate goal is to attain six-foot-long golden body, attain Bodhi and become a Buddha.
Ghost cultivation also has an ultimate goal, which is to reshape the physical body and become a ghost immortal!
They were originally cultivators who devoured bodies with dried-up energy and blood and expired lifespans, and perfected the power of their souls. With their unique way of practice, their ultimate goal is to create another physical body, one that can last forever.
Time will never dry up the body's energy and blood. This body is condensed by their spiritual practice. It is the purest power, indestructible and full of divinity.
It is said that to reach this stage, they will undergo many transformations. So far, none of the Yinshan Dharma Veins have been able to achieve the ultimate goal, so they are not sure how many transformations are needed to reshape the physical body, but according to their countless summaries
From observation and speculation, they felt that it would take roughly nine transformations.
"The first transformation is the most difficult, which means that they have begun to embark on this extreme path. The ghost cultivators who have completed the first transformation are basically equivalent to the cultivators at the Guiding level.
The subsequent transformations will be more frequent. Some people in our sect have completed seven transformations and are no longer afraid of the Heavenly Master."
Ningma Niu picked up the thing that looked like shrimp chips, put it in front of his eyes, and said: "So, this is actually a piece of dead skin, a piece of dead skin that has fallen off due to metamorphosis.
Every time the ghost cultivator sheds his skin, the skin he sheds is different.
Judging from the color, it should be the first time it sheds its skin, and the dead skin has been left here for less than a month. In other words, the owner of this tower is a ghost cultivator at the Guiding level!!
My master said that the skin shed by ghost cultivators has some connection with them. You can judge their current situation through their shedding, and you can even confirm how far away they are from their nests!
It is said that the smell of dead skin will be different.
However, the more times it undergoes transformation, the greater the smell of the molting left behind. By the time people can smell it, this ghost cultivator is basically already in trouble.
It's a pity that people can't smell the dead skin like this one and can't judge anything. It would be of great help if we brought a dog domesticated by our Yinshan Dharma Lineage."
I took the piece of dead skin and put it to Lao Bai’s nose: “Smell it!”
"Do you think I'm a dog?"
Lao Bai looked at me in disbelief and saw the blood vessels on my forehead twitching. He hurriedly picked up the dead skin and used the special skill of breaking through the bones to find fragrance. Then his tears came out and he sneezed loudly.
, while rubbing his nose, he said: "It's really a special girl's hot eyes and smell of smelly feet. I feel a little sad when I think that this thing came from a beautiful young lady..."
I no longer wanted to hear the nonsense that followed, so I turned to look at Ning Ma Niu.
Ning Ma Niu's face turned ugly, and he said in a dry voice: "It... is coming back!! It's very, very close to here!!"
"Are you here for us?"
"Probably not, probably not. Its molting is only somewhat related to it and can reflect its current state, but it cannot sense the molting. Is there a camera installed here? How could it know that we have occupied the magpie's nest?
?Maybe it’s just a coincidence? Well, maybe she saw the full moon tonight and knew that the ghost cultivators here would show up, so she hurried back to meet the other ghost cultivators? "
Ning Ma Niu kept muttering nervously.
"So, how far is it from here? How long will it take to return?"
"I don't know, but it must be approaching here, and the distance is already very close, otherwise the molting would not emit such a smell!"
"..."
This discovery put us in a dilemma. We originally planned to hide here until the full moon has passed for two days. Now that the owner of the tower is coming back, we will definitely not be able to hide here!
So, hide in the towers whose owners just woke up and left?
This idea flashed through my mind and was quickly rejected by me. No one knows when those things will come back. What if they hit me...
This is not hide and seek, the consequences will be disastrous.
For a while, I also felt trapped between a rock and a hard place.
"There is a wolf in front of us and a tiger behind us. If the tiger comes, we will be exposed. It is better to follow the wolves and see what they do."
In the end, Qingzhu helped me make the decision.
This seems to be the best solution in the current situation.
After that, we hibernated here for a while. During this period, ghost cultivators kept waking up outside, and the sound of the rumbling stone door opening was heard all the time.
One after another, the most beautiful ghost cultivators passed by in a flash.
Until we were sure that no ghost cultivators would wake up, we packed up our things and left.
This area is very large, with many towers. Even on a full moon night, there are still many towers whose stone doors are not open.
Ning Ma Niu said that most of these ghost cultivators were on the verge of madness and could no longer suppress them, so they remained in seclusion.
We hid our breath and wandered among the many towers. At the end of this group of towers, there was a rare open terrain.
Many ghosts are gathering here now, all of them are women, some are playing around, some are joking, as if a grand dating party is being held.
We hid behind a tower and watched the scene in front of us quietly.
Suddenly, those noisy sounds disappeared, and even the ghost cultivators who were joking and joking suddenly stopped. They dispersed in a crowd, and soon they were arranged neatly.
Just as I was hesitating and wondering what they were going to do, one person walked out among the many ghost cultivators.
Compared with many ghost cultivators, this person looks absolutely weird. She has a feminine body and delicate facial features, but she has bone spurs on her chin...
"A...celestial being!!"
My brows twitched. This appearance completely matches our understanding of heaven and humans.
However, this heavenly being turned into a ghost cultivator, and his Taoism was devoured, so his Taoism was compromised. His Taoism was far from what it used to be, and it was not as terrifying as he thought.
The ghost cultivators here are indeed beauties.
However, I'm afraid they didn't become ghost cultivators after their yang life was exhausted. The beauties were affected by the Tiantu Stone and had a long lifespan. There was no need to do this. They should all have died unexpectedly and were gathered in this place.
My eyes fell on the ghost cultivator transformed from a heavenly man, but I didn't know what this heavenly man wanted to do after gathering all his teammates.
