Demonic Cultivation: Starting from a Horse Bandit

As the night got darker, a bouncing sound came, interrupting Xu Sanyan's thoughts.

"Coming..."

Xu Sanyan stood up and looked into the distance through the gap in the window. He saw a group of dark figures wandering in the village.

These people should have been buried underground together with the princess. Now that the princess wakes up, they also wake up. After the passage of time, their clothes have already weathered.

Xu Sanyan squinted his eyes and looked carefully. There were about forty or fifty of them. They walked lightly on tiptoes and their bodies were very light.

The bodies of these zombies are covered in a dark, oil-like substance that looks very smooth. This may be the key to ensuring that their bodies do not rot.

Two zombies jumped into the courtyard. Xu Sanyan looked closely through the gap in the window, his eyebrows slowly knitted together.

What are these things doing?

Come out for a walk when you have nothing to do?

In Xu Sanyan's opinion, these zombies are not very strong. At most, they are equivalent to fully refined warriors, and cannot even reach the realm of heaven and humanity.

Xu Sanyan thought for a moment and decided to go out and take a look. His perfect foundation-building cultivation was enough to protect himself.

So he took advantage of the zombies outside the door to leave, quickly opened the door and rushed out, hiding in the darkness and observing silently.

As time went by, Xu Sanyan slowly discovered some clues. They didn't seem to be wandering around, but instead seemed to be looking for something.

But according to what the old man said, these zombies woke up two years ago. What are they looking for that they haven't found in two years?

This long time is enough to dig up the village three feet into the ground.

The night passed quickly, and when a ray of white light appeared on the horizon, the group of zombies jumped towards the mountain forest.

Xu Sanyan followed closely, wanting to see where they were hiding.

The zombies walked through a dense forest and came to a hidden cave entrance. They disappeared into it one after another.

The entrance of the hole sloped downwards, as if it had been dug out of the ground. Xu Sanyan guessed that there should be the mausoleum where the princess was buried underneath.

He did not go down rashly, after all, the princess's strength was not yet clear.

Suddenly, an indistinguishable voice came from the dark cave,

"Since the guest is here, why do you stop in front of the door? Please come in and talk."

Xu Sanyan was shocked, she actually found him?

After thinking about it for a while, he still refused to put himself in danger rashly, so he said, "I'm afraid of the dark, why don't you invite the princess to come out and meet me?"

"hehe……"

There was a burst of laughter from inside the cave, "Okay..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure floated up from the cave. Xu Sanyan took a few steps back warily and looked at it secretly.

The visitor was a young woman, beautiful in appearance and tall in stature. She was wearing a simple long skirt with patches on it. It looked like she had stolen it from a peasant woman.

Even if she wears an ordinary skirt, she can't hide her noble temperament.

The woman had a smile on her face and looked at Xu Sanyan quietly.

Xu Sanyan frowned slightly, he didn't hear her breathing...

"Why is this guest here?" The woman's voice was slightly hoarse.

"I'm just passing by. Come take a look out of curiosity." Xu Sanyan said.

The woman nodded slightly and said noncommittally, "Then please ask the guests to leave as soon as possible."

Xu Sanyan asked curiously, "Princess, are you willing to let me go?"

The woman smiled and said, "Of course, our guest has a profound Taoism, so I'm afraid I won't be able to keep him here even if I want to."

The woman was not sure to keep Xu Sanyan, so she showed up to meet him.

Xu Sanyan was surprised, could she see her own cultivation?

But the princess died after just ten years of beauty. Even if she had some cultivation, she would not be much higher. Why did her Taoism become more advanced even after she had been dead for hundreds of years?

Xu Sanyan thought of what the old man said, that after the princess was buried, the Imperial Master disappeared. With all these connections in mind, he couldn't help but have speculations in his mind...

There may be another hidden meaning behind the "art of borrowing life to bring back the soul".

"Are you not that... national master back then?" Xu Sanyan asked slowly.

"The art of reviving souls by borrowing life" can also have another understanding.

That is... Borrow someone else's life and return your own soul!

The woman sighed, stepped on the ground with her bare feet, lifted up her skirt and sat on a stone nearby, "Fellow Taoist is really smart, yes, I am the national master back then."

The woman did not deny it, but admitted it openly.

Xu Sanyan's face was calm, and there was already a storm in his heart. Is there really someone who can live another life?

The woman squinted her eyes and said with a smile, "Back then, when my life was about to end and there was no hope of a breakthrough, I could only think of other methods. I happened to get this method by chance, and I tried it with the idea of ​​treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor. I never thought ...It actually happened.”

Xu Sanyan pursed her lips and said, "Is that all you told me?"

"Haha... It doesn't matter. It's a stroke of luck that this method can be accomplished once. Even if I tell you the method, it will be difficult to repeat it."

The woman thought to herself, "First of all, you need to reach the realm of soul refining, solidify your soul, and be able to leave the body. Secondly, you need a person who is consistent with your fate and horoscope. Furthermore, you must not be able to do it in the past thousand years." Being disturbed, in the end, I have to find a lot of rare elixirs.”

Xu Sanyan suddenly raised his head, but he didn't expect that she was actually a great monk in the Soul Refining Realm eight hundred years ago!

I just don’t know how much strength is left now.

The woman pointed to the village at the bottom of the mountain, "The most important thing is that there must be no mistakes in this formation. If there is no one in this village, this method will be broken."

Xu Sanyan was surprised, "This coffin-keeping village is actually a large formation?"

The woman said calmly, "Where do you think your life comes from? I borrowed their lives and the body of Princess Xiangtan."

Princess Xiangtan is the owner of this body.

Xu Sanyan understood. No wonder the old man looked like he was in his seventies or eighties, even though he was only in his forties. That's why.

There are many wonderful ways in the world, and Xu Sanyan has learned a lot today.

The woman looked at the rising sun in the sky and whispered, "I don't know if my old friend is still alive..."

Xu Sanyan said, "Fellow Daoist, you told me this news, aren't you afraid that I will have bad intentions?"

The woman laughed, "Hahahaha... I just woke up, I have nothing, and the only spiritual weapon I have has become a mortal thing because no one has nurtured it for a long time. What is there for others to covet?"

"Fellow Daoist, are you going to avenge the villagers? Or do you want to avenge Princess Xiangtan?" The woman asked back.

No one would risk their lives to rob a poor man whose strength is unknown.

Xu Sanyan just said it casually, so he naturally wouldn't do such a thankless task.

Xu Sanyan hesitated, "It seems that the national master has not yet fully resurrected?"

The woman nodded, "It will be soon..."

But she didn't say much.

Xu Sanyan already knew everything he wanted to know, so he bowed his hands, "Then I won't bother you anymore, goodbye."

The woman smiled and returned the greeting, "See you again if we are lucky."

Xu Sanyan suddenly turned around and asked, "Before the national master, was he a man or a woman?"

The woman pulled the corner of her mouth and said with a seductive look, "A man."

Xu Sanyan nodded and walked away.

The woman looked at Xu Sanyan's back, and the smile in her eyes gradually faded.

If her strength allowed, she would not bother to waste her words and would have killed him long ago.

...

Xu Sanyan knew that she must be hiding something.

Because the most real lie is to tell the truth, using unimportant truths to cover up important truths.

Xu Sanyan asked himself, if it was him, he would definitely keep it to himself.

But she was willing to tell him this, so the hidden thing must be more important than this!

It was only because of her concern about Xu Sanyan's strength that she tried to trick him away.

Xu Sanyan paused, maybe... there was something profitable in this!
