Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1578 The Untamed 58

The martial arts of a family like the Nie family, which has always been in a great family, must be extraordinary. In fact, the complete martial arts can only be practiced by the direct descendants. The side branches may even determine the completeness of the martial arts they get based on blood relationship and talent.

Nie Huaisang had already done Nie Mingjue's work, but Jiang Cheng felt there was no need to rush the revision of the techniques. "After all, you Nie family members are the ones most familiar with these techniques. Outsiders like Lan Zhan and I can only offer some suggestions. However, the mausoleum of the Nie family ancestors does need to be modified quickly."

Nie Mingjue was truly anxious, but he also knew the reason why Jiang Cheng was avoiding suspicion. However, he could no longer bear it and quickly asked, "Please, Sect Master Jiang, please speak frankly. The Nie family will not refuse and will strictly follow your instructions!"

Jiang Cheng gave a simple example, "Sect Master Nie, if you're upset and someone keeps chattering away, even if you understand their good intentions, can you really listen?"

Nie Mingjue answered honestly, "If it were before, I might have been able to listen to good advice that might be unpleasant to the ear, but now that the resentment has taken hold of me, it's difficult to do so."

Jiang Cheng said, "That's what the ancestors of the Nie family did."

"Originally, the formations and scriptures within the mausoleum were used to suppress and purify the evil spirit. However, over time, the evil spirit has accumulated to the point where it can no longer be suppressed or purified, and it has only become more intense."

Nie Mingjue completely understood Jiang Cheng's intentions and bowed again in gratitude, "Please do your best, Sect Master Jiang. The Nie family will reward you handsomely."

Jiang Cheng said modestly, "Our two families are related by marriage, so a generous reward is unnecessary. I just hope that the Nie family will prosper from now on and reach even greater heights."

After avoiding the Nie family, Lan Zhan didn't care about anything else and said directly, "Nie Huaisang is dishonest. It seems that his original intention was to ask you to come up with another way to deal with the remains of the Nie ancestors. He really didn't consider my sister's position."

Lan Zhan has always been unwilling to associate with Nie Huaisang, not only because Nie Huaisang's cultivation is really poor, but also because Nie Huaisang has an honest face but is very cunning inside.

For Lan Zhan, Nie Huaisang is a person he cannot associate with even more than Meng Yao before.

But now he has a close relationship with Jiang Cheng, and even has a marriage relationship with Jiang Cheng's sister Jiang Yanli. By the way, he has also contacted Nie Huaisang. If it were not for Jiang Cheng's face, he really would not be willing to make this trip to the unclean world of Qinghe.

In the following time, Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan, accompanied by Nie Huaisang, went in and out of the Nie family's treasure house, looking for suitable materials to refine treasures to purify the evil spirit. The scriptures from the past were of no use, as some of the Nie family's ancestors had already turned into evil corpses.

If Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan had not been invited by the Nie family to come and find a solution, they would have simply burned the bodies and solved the source of the problem.

This just happened to fit in with Nie Huaisang's little thoughts.

Now that the world is clear and bright, the reward for good and the punishment for evil will surely come soon, so Jiang Cheng quickly got the hang of refining the magic tools to purify the evil spirit. Although they are all consumables, they are not disposable items. After all, there is no problem in purifying the tombs of Nie's ancestors one by one.

So Nie Huaisang stared at Jiang Cheng's movements closely. Jiang Cheng himself had nothing much to say, but he decided to go back and talk to Jiang Yanli about this matter. At least he wanted Jiang Yanli to be on guard when she was with Nie Huaisang, so that she wouldn't accidentally encounter anything and get hurt.

Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan had to come in person to set up the formation. After all, the Nie family in Qinghe really didn't have a master of formations, and what everyone had to do now could not afford any mistakes, so Nie Mingjue could only shamelessly ask Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan to do it personally, and silently increase the thank-you gifts behind their backs.

The descendants of the Nie family were really cruel to their ancestors. They used iron coffins, and the patterns and scriptures on them were used to suppress and purify the evil spirit. I don’t know who was so stupid as to let the swords of the Nie family ancestors be buried with their bodies. This is simply outrageous!

Originally, as long as the last breath of life in the remains of the Nie ancestor dissipated, there would be no risk of the corpse rising from the dead. Suppression, soothing and purification would all be useful.

However, the swords worn by the ancestors of the Nie family can easily produce sword spirits under the catalysis of evil spirits. This is a ready-made vitality. In addition, the souls of the ancestors of the Nie family cannot leave the coffin. Over time, there will always be a time when they are catalyzed by evil spirits and turned into monsters.

Since the remains of the Nie ancestors couldn't be moved, the only thing left to do was to move their swords. Jiang Cheng suggested to Nie Mingjue, "I suggest breaking up these sword spirits that have been infected by evil spirits, reforging these swords, and praying for the Nie ancestors' souls. This way, the evil spirits in these mausoleums will naturally dissipate."

Nie Mingjue sighed deeply and told Jiang Cheng the truth, "Let's do as Sect Master Jiang wishes. My Qinghe Nie clan has already caused a scandal at the Man-Eating Castle, and the swords have not been wasted. Sect Master Jiang is very thoughtful, and I thank you very much."

Jiang Cheng didn't want to give anyone a chance to criticize him, so he nodded and said, "As long as Sect Master Nie gives his approval, it will be fine."

Lan Zhan immediately explained, "Most of the Nie family's ancestors weren't at risk of resurrection. It's just that their swords gave rise to spirits, and since they were buried with their masters, the spirits were very likely to breathe life into their masters' remains, making them more susceptible to resurrection."

"Dispersing the sword spirits now would be a good thing for the ancestors of the Nie family. At least we can resolve the hidden danger without disrespecting their remains, and we can also invite them to return to the underworld as soon as possible, killing two birds with one stone."

Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan repeatedly mentioned the sword spirit, but Nie Mingjue himself was unaware of it. However, Nie Huaisang immediately realized the strangeness of the matter. That night, he searched through all the records of the Nie family, looking for the Nie predecessors and related personnel who proposed to build the man-eating castle, hoping to find some clues.

Jiang Cheng just missed out on making it clear that the person who came up with this proposal had ill intentions towards the Nie family. If simple suppression and purification were still reasonable, then burying the sword with its owner was purely malicious.

The terrible thing is that perhaps the ancestors of the Nie family who made this decision were really out of their minds, or they knew that this move was dangerous, but it did have visible effects in a short period of time, so they took chances and left such a huge problem to future generations.

After carefully studying the core skills of the Nie family, Jiang Cheng concluded that this skill itself was meant to use resentment to increase the power of attacks. So if you really count it, the Qinghe Nie family is the originator of using resentment to practice. Moreover, the ancestors of the Nie family who made such changes to the skills were very clever. They placed most of the resentment in their swords and did not take it into their bodies. Therefore, there was almost no need to worry about the sequelae of resentment damaging the body and mind.

However, despite all their calculations, they did not anticipate that due to the lack of Yin Iron, the distinction between good and evil, and the yin and yang between heaven and earth would become unclear, and the evil energy would not be able to dissipate on its own. So when the time comes, the evil energy in the sword will eventually be absorbed into the body of its owner, bringing endless troubles to the Nie family.
