Sighing, Jiang Lu replied helplessly: "I didn't want to either. To be honest, I don't know why I came to find you, but a mysterious guy told us to come here to find the immortal corpse and escort it to where it should go. Other than that, he didn't tell us anything."
"Coming for me? And you want to escort me to where I should go?"
The immortal corpse suddenly realized that the three people whom she regarded as toys did not seem to be the foolish people who coveted the treasure buried under the legendary seal.
When she thought about their motives for coming here, her hostility eased a little.
"Mysterious person, could it be her?"
"Stop using he, she, or it. Either tell me who you are guessing, or stop being so ambiguous and playing riddle to me." Jiang Lu grumbled in dissatisfaction.
"So you have never heard of the legend of this mountain?" the immortal corpse asked suspiciously.
Jiang Lu is not from this world at all. He was just dragged here by a random spiritual realm. In this remote place, there is not even a channel to get information, let alone know any legends.
But it was impossible to tell the other party these things, so he just shook his head and asked, "What legend?"
"Legend has it that this mountain is a sub-peak of Kunlun Mountain. It is the second highest mountain in the world, half the height of Kunlun Mountain..."
"Half of Kunlun Mountain, so this place is called Ribi Mountain?" Jiang Lu interrupted curiously.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The immortal corpse narrowed his eyes and said, "Just listen to me first."
"Okay." Jiang Lu nodded seemingly obediently.
The immortal corpse was about to continue speaking when he sensed something and said angrily, "Don't do anything to retaliate against me!"
"Okay." Jiang Lu regretfully loosened his twisted fingertips.
“This mountain originally had no name, but legend has it that there is a peerless treasure on the top of this mountain, and whoever gets it can rule the world, so it is named Gaishi Mountain. In the past years, countless people have climbed to the top of this mountain, hoping to find the treasure and become the strongest in the world, but they don’t know that there is no treasure on this mountain, only a lonely soul like me who is sealed here.
I thought to myself that it was not easy for them to get here after going through so much hardship, so I did not make things difficult for those who found there was nothing here and left on their own. But some people were too persistent and tried to destroy the mountain to dig for so-called treasures, so I made them into puppets, and over endless years they became part of the mountain, filling the gaps left by their damage.
I rarely show my face, but anyone who has seen me eventually dies. The yellow soil under your feet, which is obviously different from the color of the mountain, is the traces left after their bodies decayed."
Having said that, the immortal corpse deliberately paused for a moment, wanting to see awe in Jiang Lu's eyes.
But he didn't, and just asked curiously: "Why isn't it called Ash Mountain?"
"Why do you always ask weird questions?"
The immortal corpse clenched his fists tightly in unwillingness.
"Let me ask you another question. We haven't damaged the mountain, so why did you show up to mess with us?"
"The game you guys play is interesting to me."
"Makes sense." Jiang Lu nodded: "That's how psychic games work. They're just looking for trouble and committing suicide."
The immortal corpse declined to comment, and continued:
"As for me, there are only a few people in this world who still know of my existence. I don't know who told you about my existence, but what I want to say is that this person is just dreaming. There is no chance for me to leave this mountain."
"why?"
"Because as long as the person who sealed me is not dead, the seal on me will never be broken."
The immortal corpse answered somewhat sadly.
"So where is the person who sealed you now?" Jiang Lu asked.
"I don't know." The immortal corpse shook his head.
"So what's his name? What does he look like?"
"She..." The immortal corpse hesitated for a moment: "She looks like me, or rather, she is me."
"Ok?"
"You call me an immortal corpse, but in fact, I am not a corpse. Although I am now a lonely soul, I can still be considered a human being. The reason why I am called an immortal corpse is because the person who killed me has now become an immortal."
The immortal corpse said calmly:
"Her name is Queen Mother of the West, and I am an independent individual formed by the three corpse spirits she killed."
Chapter 283 Boundary Stone Seal
In the concept of cultivating immortals, the Three Corpses refer to the three evil desires in the body of a cultivator, which are negative factors that hinder his or her achievement of immortality.
The Taoist book "Dreaming of the Three Corpses" says: "There are three corpse spirits in the human body."
The upper corpse spirit is called Peng Hou. It lives inside the human head and makes people stupid, dumb and without wisdom.
The corpse spirit inside is called Peng Zhi. It stays in people’s chest and makes people worried and delusional, unable to have peace of mind.
The lower corpse spirit is named Peng Jiao. It is in the human stomach and makes people greedy for food and drink of men and women.
Therefore, most people who are trapped in the shackles of becoming immortals will seek ways to kill the three corpse spirits and eliminate from their bodies the factors that will affect their enlightenment.
If you kill the three corpses, you will become a Golden Immortal.
In this case, the immortal corpse does not refer to the corpse of the immortal, but to the three corpse spirits beheaded when the immortal attained enlightenment.
but...
"Queen Mother of the West?" Jiang Lu couldn't help but gasp: "Is this the world of Queen Mother of the West... No wonder even Kunlun Mountain exists."
Before Jiang Lu became an immortal, Queen Mother of the West was already a famous figure. Thousands of years had passed when he later became the main god and met Queen Mother of the West for the first time.
If the immortal corpse in front of him was the evil desire beheaded by the Queen Mother of the West, then it would be difficult to calculate how long the immortal corpse had stayed in this place.
"Have you heard of her name?" The immortal corpse was slightly surprised, then thought of something and nodded: "Yes, she has reached the pinnacle now, and everyone should know her."
"Hmm..." Jiang Lu responded vaguely, and then asked tentatively: "But I remember... Although there are some similarities between the eyebrows and eyes, the Queen Mother of the West does not look like you."
"Have you met her?"
"Yes." Jiang Lu began to describe his impression of the Queen Mother of the West to the immortal corpse: "Although her skin is not as tight as yours, her breasts are a little saggy, and a little loose, but she has more mature charm than you, and is more attractive. Of course, I'm not saying you're not good. You're more girlish than her, more youthful and energetic, and you feel better."
The immortal corpse frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong: "I feel that the way you describe your appearance is very novel."
Jiang Lu waved his hand modestly: "It's all based on experience."
"Experience...what?" Perhaps because she was used to Jiang Lu's nonsense, she just regarded it as his hysteria and did not care too much.
In her opinion, perhaps Jiang Lu had really seen the Queen Mother of the West, but there was absolutely no chance for him to observe her closely, let alone have any contact with her.
Although she was just one of the three corpse spirits that had been beheaded and her actions were greatly restricted under the seal, she still had good vision. It would be difficult for an ordinary person like her to get the opportunity to enter Kunlun Mountain.
But just as the immortal corpse was thinking this, Jiang Lu's next casual words shocked her.
"She's quite a contrast. Although she looks superior on the surface, she actually likes the feeling of being violated. And she can't stand it when her name is called. I remember her name is Jin Yao, right?"
Jiang Lu recalled: "You are her three corpse spirits, you should still remember it, am I right?"
Jiang Lu, who was immersed in the memories of pretending to be a helpless white lotus cultivator, showing off in Kunlun Mountain and finally climbing onto the dragon bed of Queen Mother of the West, did not notice that the immortal corpse was already stunned.
Nothing else matters. The key is that the name mentioned by Jiang Lu is indeed the real name of the Queen Mother of the West before she became an immortal and the Lord of Kunlun.
The names of immortals should not be mentioned lightly.
Anyone who knows this name and can say it in such a nonchalant manner is either an old man from the same generation as her, who has survived to the present and has become a giant in his own right, or a rising star with a powerful background who, through strong connections, knows a thing or two about things in ancient times.
But no matter which situation it is, it proves that the person in front of him does have a close relationship with the Queen Mother of the West.
Thinking of this, and recalling Jiang Lu's nonsense just now, the immortal corpse felt it was very absurd: "You don't... really know her, do you? What you said... is not true experience, right?"
"It's packed." Jiang Lu smiled casually.
"Jiang Lu..." Reading Jiang Lu's real name, the immortal corpse asked in shock: "Who are you?"
She couldn't understand why an ordinary person could know so many secrets.
"Easy to say."
Jiang Lu used his right hand fingers as a sword and gently scraped the white tiger lips of the immortal corpse, causing it to cry out. Then he put his fingers under the nose, and his nose wings twitched slightly:
"There is a white tiger in my heart, and I can smell the roses. I am nicknamed by you, and I can recognize a woman by her sniffing."
"So disgusting, so perverted!" The immortal corpse's face was full of fear and disgust.
"Really?" Jiang Lu stroked his hair and smiled greasyly: "It's just that you don't like it now, but when you grow up, you will love it to death."
"No..." When the Immortal Corpse thought that Jiang Lu might really be telling the truth, he collapsed: "What's the point of killing the three corpses? Isn't it getting weirder the more we kill them?!"
"That's true." Jiang Lu felt that what the other party said made sense, and nodded in approval: "My evaluation is that it is a white beheading, but speaking of it, beheading the three corpses is an old-fashioned routine. We young people are not interested in these things now."
Jiang Lu's words were very certain because he had never beheaded the Three Corpses.
Just like most people have eaten thin skin, but it doesn’t mean that thin skin is the best.
You know, beheading the three corpses was originally a method invented by someone, but it is not the only one.
In Jiang Lu's view, the paths to becoming an immortal are different but ultimately lead to the same goal: going against the will of heaven.
So he just focused on going against the will of heaven, and whether he could succeed or not was left to miracles.
Fortunately, it is possible to go against the will of heaven.
"Young man?" The immortal corpse pursed his lips and took the opportunity to ask the question in his mind: "In other words, you are not from the same era as her, so why do you know so many of her secrets?"
"I practiced under her in the past." Jiang Lu replied, "I had an illicit relationship with her for a long time."
"Why can you say it so confidently?"
“Because I don’t think it’s shameful.”
Jiang Lu smiled, with an expression of relief and enlightenment:
“I think this is a symbol of an independent man.
I used my body to get something in return, there is nothing to hide about it, it’s not like I didn’t give anything, right? "
"That makes sense, right? But I always feel like something is weird..." The Immortal Corpse declined to comment.
All I can say is that she has been trapped here for too long, and her level of thinking has lagged far behind other versions.
Jiang Lu shrugged, too lazy to give the immortal corpse some new-age ideological education.
I'm so far behind that I don't even know where to start making up for it.
So he changed the subject: "After all this talk, you still haven't told me why we have to wait until Queen Mother of the West dies in order to break the seal?"
"Because I am a part of her."
The immortal corpse sighed:
