Chapter 422 Nightmare

Under the moonlight, a group of strange black figures in black robes and hats, whose faces could not be seen clearly, floated lightly in the direction of the mill.

It looked like a group of ghosts in the dark night.

But these things are much more terrifying than evil spirits.

Kong Ning heard the words of the columbarium, but his heart moved.

"Do you know Jiang Yunchou's purpose?"

Kong Ning couldn't figure out why Jiang Yunchou wanted to occupy the body of the strange thing no matter what.

At the beginning, the columbarium said that Jiang Yunchou went crazy because he couldn't find any clues about Qianlong's treasure ship.

But the Jiang Yunchou that Kong Ning saw was all about occupying the body of a strange thing...

Kong Ning didn't know what Jiang Yunchou was planning.

In terms of cultivation base and morality, Jiang Yunchou's cultivation base surpasses the past and present, and is almost invincible in the current world.

After living for so many years, even if he is not a real immortal, he may not lose much to a real immortal.

But such a powerful existence still wants to plot against the strange body below the capital...

No matter how powerful the strange thing was back then, it was only at the level of being suppressed by the three masters at the same time.

Compared with him, Jiang Yunchou, even if he is stronger, he is still infinitely stronger.

Why does Jiang Yunchou care so much about his body?

Kong Ning was puzzled.

Seeing Kong Ning's confusion, the columbarium hummed.

"Since you asked about it, I'll make it clear."

"Anyway, you will know this secret sooner or later..."

The columbarium said: "The land of Shenzhou has been corroded by the abyss of the country of death."

"Since the emergence of Xulingyuan, the power of the dead country has corrupted all living beings."

"The higher the level of cultivation, the more stunning and brilliant a person is, the deeper his understanding of the way of heaven will be, and the more likely he will be corrupted by the power of the dead country."

"At the beginning, I will gradually feel some kind of strange call, and I often hear strange voices."

"Gradually, the symptoms worsen, and you will start to see strange things, and even have more strange memories."

"After that, I would do some weird things from time to time. But I don't have any memory of these weird things. Only when others talk about them afterwards will I know what I did."

"These are all symptoms of being corrupted by the power of the dead country."

"There are indescribable strange things that silently corrode you and try to replace you."

The voice of the columbarium was gloomy: "Until the end, everything that belongs to living beings is completely corroded, and the monsters under the kingdom of the dead will completely replace you."

"You are no longer you, the fire of consciousness is completely extinguished, the body soul, and even everything you own, all become another completely different thing."

"That thing will use your identity, your face, and your voice to continue to live beside your relatives and friends."

"Why are there so many powerful monks on the Qianlong Treasure Ship? They were all seriously injured and died, and they went to seek refuge?"

"Indeed, of course there are such people. But there are more people on board, poor people who have realized that they are about to die, but are unable to resist the corruption of the dead country, and have to escape into the Qianlong treasure ship to escape the corruption."

"The Qianlong treasure ship is drifting in the dimension of nothingness. It is a mysterious ark that existed in ancient times. The upper part is a world of its own, which can isolate everything."

"Even the meaning of life and death can be blocked, let alone the corruption of the dead country."

"The people on the entire Qianlong Treasure Ship are all lifeless, unable to live, but have no courage to die. They can only hide miserably in the dimension of nothingness, drifting to a future that no one knows. "

"But even poor people, not everyone is qualified to be one!"

The ashes urn said coldly: "No one knows how to board Qianlong Treasure Ship."

"Jiang Yunchou can't find a way to board the ship. The only way left is to find a real strange body to seize."

"The creatures on the land of Shenzhou will be corroded by the dead country and gradually replaced."

"But if he occupies a strange body and lives with a strange body, he will not be corrupted by the power of the dead country, and naturally he will not have to worry about being occupied by evil things."

"This...is why Jiang Yunchou was insane back then, because he couldn't find a way to board Qianlong treasure ship."

"Now he is doing everything he can to find a strange body to take away. This is the only way."

"And I can be sure that this is definitely not the first strange body he found!"

The columbarium sneered: "Since he went crazy back then, he must have reached the bottom of the mountain, so he was driven crazy."

"He can't board the Qianlong Treasure Ship, but he has lived for so many years. He must have changed a lot of strange bodies."

"It's just that his primordial spirit is too strong and his Taoism is too high. How can the ordinary strange body bear his power? It won't take long for the body to collapse, and he needs to replace it with a new one."

"Only this strange thing under the capital is so powerful that it needed the simultaneous actions of the three masters to suppress it."

"Only this body can withstand Jiang Yunchou's supreme sword intent!"

The columbarium revealed Jiang Yunchou's purpose in one word.

Kong Ning felt a chill in his heart.

Because these words are almost exactly the same as what the night watchman said!

The creatures on the land of Shenzhou are really being corroded by the abyss of the dead country, and will gradually be replaced by other things.

The only difference between the columbarium and the night watchman is that the columbarium talks more and more thoroughly!

This is simply a terrifying sword hanging over the heads of all the monks in Shenzhou.

The higher the cultivation base and the more profound the way, the easier it is to be corrupted by the dead country...

What is the practice for? Naturally, it is for immortality and freedom.

But the existence of the country of death has turned the outward destination of practitioners into a dead end.

The higher the cultivation level, the easier it is to be corrupted... This kind of world is even more desperate than the world where demons are rampant on the surface.

And it doesn't have to be a strong cultivation base to be corroded.

A monk like Princess Lingyang who is tired of living in the environment will also be corrupted...

It is even possible that those in the primordial spirit state will be corroded...

Strange things also have strengths and weaknesses.

Then when they replace living souls, it is natural that the strong corrupt the strong, and the weak corrupt the weak...

Wanting to understand everything about Kong Ning, he took a deep look at the columbarium.

I suddenly understood the origin of this guy's fear of weird things.

For a once powerful old monster like the columbarium, those weird things are indeed nightmares.

but……

"It is said that you become an urn and maintain this strange state of immortality, immortality, immortality..."

Kong Ning said with a strange expression: "Could it be to avoid the corrosion of strange things?"

If you can't board the Qianlong treasure ship, and you can't find it, or you don't want to occupy the strange body, then maybe only the columbarium can avoid corrosion.

In the bamboo forest, the urn fell silent.

Kong Ning's question was not answered.

Kong Ning thought of another similar existence again.

"The ancient Qingdeng corpse I met in Lingruo Temple..."

Kong Ning said slowly: "That thing, did it turn itself into that in order to avoid the corruption of the dead country?!"
