C479 Rites Were Broken and Joy Was Broken
"Keep up."
The engine started, and the off-road vehicle left the main road, following the footsteps of the Moon Worshipping Sect.
Qin Sitong did not know when she woke up and suddenly said, "Why not bury them? Dead bodies in the wilderness, it is too tragic..."
"We can't bury them." Zhang Chu was straightforward.
Qin Sitong's face was a little pale. There was fear, anger, and pity, but she did not say anything in the end.
The soul returning to the Heavenly Mountain after death was actually the 'Heavenly Burial'.
The so-called Heavenly Burial, by removing those mysterious outer garments, was actually no different from a corpse in the wilderness. Dust returning to dust, earth returning to earth, eating in this heaven and earth. After death, it was similarly eaten by the heaven and earth. Heavenly Burial was the last veil of shame in the cultivation world.
After losing the carrying capacity of the tarpaulin road, the road became abnormally bumpy. The car jumped on the ground, and Zhang Chu and the others jumped in the car.
Zhang Chu, Zhao Tang, and Ruan Zhu were all cultivators, so it was not a big deal. Qin Sitong, the only mortal, almost threw up her stomach.
Zhang Chu still could not do anything. He could only pat Qin Sitong's back and look at her heartache.
Now, Zhang Chu completely accepted Ruan Zhu's evaluation.
He was indeed a scumbag man. He should not have wavered back then. It was better to leave Qin Sitong in Dongzhou and bring her here to suffer this sin!
It was all the fault of Gong Yuqing, that witch. He did not know which beach she was currently lying on to bask in the sun.
This land was divided into two worlds.
The Cypress Street was a world. One side led to the Sky Mountain, and the other to the mortal world.
Outside the Cypress Street was another world. It was desolate and uninhabited. Occasionally, herdsmen would set foot on it. However, they would not stay for long. After all, there was not even a single damn grass here. Other than the desolate desert, there was also the next door. Other than rocks, there was also sand. Of course, there was also the strange temperature of ice and fire, as well as the constant killing of swords and swords.
"This is so damn weird. Isn't this the foot of the mountain? The snow should be piled up. " Did we take the wrong path and come to the Lop Nur Desert in a daze? " The further Zhao Tang went, the more puzzled he became. When he thought about how the backup oil was almost used up, he felt even more uncertain.
"This season is just like this. The grass is withered and the snow hasn't fallen yet. Other than desolation, it is also desolate. Except for us cultivators who have lived enough, only idiots like us have come here." Zhang Chu nagged a few times. In fact, he was a little annoyed in his heart, and he was annoyed to the point of panicking.
"Hehe, why are you speaking so tactfully? Can't you just say that we are idiots as well?" Zhao Tang laughed dryly. He wanted to adjust the atmosphere, but in the end, the atmosphere became even more oppressive.
At this moment, the off-road vehicle that had been bumpy for an unknown period of time finally slowed down and stopped in front of a skeleton.
This time, Zhang Chu lifted up Jin Gui's butt and got off the car.
It was not because of the skeleton, but because his butt hurt from sitting, he came down to exercise.
No one was afraid of the bones, not even Qin Sitong. She studied medicine and had seen all kinds of situations.
"A practitioner? He's been dead for long enough." Zhao Tang muttered.
"It has indeed been long enough. His bones have started to erode." Qin Sitong took another look at the skeleton. "I did not expect that. There had been a battle here many years ago. It's just that it's very strange why this skeleton... No one had touched it until now, so logically speaking, it shouldn't be. The modern society is so civilized. Once a herdsman passes by... We'll definitely call the police."
Zhang Chu shrugged. "If no one else touches it, then let's not touch it either. Maybe it's not a practitioner, but a herdsman who was buried here."
"A herdsman?"
"Burial of Heaven. It's a custom in this region. After death, give everything back to Mother Earth, and this place can be considered their graveyard."
"So that's how it is" Qin Sitong suddenly came to a realization and immediately felt deep respect for this skeleton.
Zhao Tang stretched his body and looked at the endless wasteland. He was a little lost. "If we keep chasing like this, when will we have a head? Now, even the tire print is gone. If we get lost, then this is a big joke."
There were some risks that he had to take.1
"How much oil do we have left?"
"At most, we can run another 50 kilometers. If we are on the main road... It's almost time to go to the next rest stop. " But now, we are not in front of the village. The village was nowhere to be found. Even if they were to head back now... We'll definitely break down halfway. " Zhao Tang let out a long sigh. "I thought that since we are here to participate in the promotion ceremony, at the very least, we should be at odds with each other. In the end, the whole process was painful to live on. I don't feel good even if I die. "
"Just the two of us, if we were to really participate in the Promotion Conference, we'd be slaughtered as well."
Hearing this, Zhao Tang was stunned for a moment. He turned around and looked at Zhang Chu. "Brother Chu, what do you mean by this? "Are you here to die? No, even if I give it to you, you won't bring Sister Qin along."
I can't say it now. The most important task is to catch up with the Moon Worshipping Sect. Since we are running out of fuel, I estimate that the Moon Worshipping Sect won't be able to run far. "
They walked a few rounds on the ground and exercised their muscles and bones. Then, they stuffed them back into the iron box.
Not to mention, Zhang Chu had hit the mark.
Less than ten minutes later, a pile of corpses appeared in their line of sight.
When they got closer, they saw that all of them had died not long ago. There were more than a dozen of them, and half of them were from the Moon Worshipping Sect. The rest of them were all unfamiliar faces.
It seemed like the Moon Worshipping Sect had been caught up to here. An intense battle had broken out, and the Moon Worshipping Sect had suffered a great loss.
Moreover, seven to eight cars had been left behind on the scene. After all, all of them had died, and the cars would definitely be left behind.
Zhang Chu hurriedly pulled out the rubber pipe and gathered all the oil from the other cars, filling almost all the fuel tanks of the off-road vehicles.
Zhao Tang, on the other hand, took them to clean up the battlefield. Unfortunately, he did not find anything valuable. He reckoned that the other party had already cleaned up the magic weapons and pills.
After all, no one was willing to waste cultivation resources.
"With so many people dead, I reckon there won't be any big battles after this." Qin Sitong said softly.
"Not necessarily." Zhang Chu shook his head. "The first group to chase after the Moon Worshipping Sect is an entire sect. Among the people who died in the battle, a few of them were Middle Period of Meditation Stage warriors. If they brought such a small fry, I'm afraid they will send out their full force. Furthermore, Why didn't the other party bite down on the Moon Worshipping Sect? Was it to eliminate their competitors? Or was it to seize cultivation resources? Or was it to covet Jin Shenggong's beauty? I don't think so. They must have received some news."
Zhao Tang lowered his head and seemed to be deep in thought." Brother Chu, you're right. Only by leaking the news of the Three Devils And Nine Sects can the other party chase down the Moon Worshipping Sect at all costs. "
Ruan Zhu, who did not speak much along the way, frowned slightly. "Who would leak the news of the Three Devils And Nine Sects? The problem is, who would know about this?"
Speaking up to this point, Ruan Zhu subconsciously turned around to look at Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu's face darkened. "Why are you looking at me? "We've always been together. "Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have the chance. I estimate that there is a traitor in the Moon Worshipping Sect. "Furthermore, the commotion is so big that it doesn't seem like it has been leaked to a sect. It has already spread to everyone."
"What?!" Ruan Zhu's voice changed and her eyes immediately became gloomy. "In other words, my identity was also exposed?"
