Chapter 53: Phantom Demon
Zhong Liqian still wanted to refuse. He was a Mahayana cultivator. With his magical power and wisdom, no one could stop him unless Yin Hanjiang destroyed his power. And since Yin Hanjiang wanted Zhong Liqian to do something for him, he had to treat him with courtesy and could not treat him like a prisoner.
He was about to argue and persuade Yin Hanjiang when he heard the red-clothed man at the top say, "Zhongli Qian, do you know what the first thing I want to do after I return to my sect?"
Zhongli Qian's heart trembled slightly and said, "I know a thing or two."
"According to my plan, I will first send the Xuanyuan Sect to gather some independent cultivators and small sects outside the righteous sects. Those who are willing to join the Xuanyuan Sect will be accepted after they swear a soul oath. Those who are unwilling will be killed after they are forced to reveal their mental skills." Yin Hanjiang said emotionlessly, "Within three years, all cultivators except the big sects and the aristocratic families of cultivation will belong to the Xuanyuan Sect. Then we will start with the relatively weaker sects, control their disciples, and defeat them one by one."
Yin Hanjiang laughed at himself and said, "I'm not the Lord. I don't care about the life and death of the Xuanyuan Sect members, nor do I care about the lives of innocent people. As long as I can achieve my goal, I can do anything you ask me to do.
"Zhongli Qian, it was your words that dissuaded me. You have disrupted my plan, so you must take responsibility. "
This..." Zhongli Qian used his spiritual sense to check Yin Hanjiang's condition and confirmed that what he said was true.
"Revenge must be taken. Since you don't want me to disrupt the world of cultivation, try your best to stop me. I will not imprison Mr. Zhongli. It's up to you to decide whether to be the leader of this headquarters!" Yin Hanjiang stood up and turned to leave the main hall, leaving the choice to Zhongli Qian.
Zhongli Qian smiled bitterly. He knew that Yin Hanjiang was telling him that once he left, Yin Hanjiang would act according to the original plan.
He was not lying. Yin Hanjiang really didn't care about Xuanyuan Sect, the world of cultivation, or even the people of the world. The only person in the world who was worthy of his care was Wen Ren'e. In order to avenge Wen Ren'e, Yin Hanjiang could give up all this.
"Does Master Zhongli still want to leave?" Shu Yanyan said with a smile.
Zhongli Qian sighed: "Master Yin is as well versed in human nature as Mr. Wenren, and disdains to use conspiracies and tricks. They have always been open and aboveboard, but this open conspiracy... is more difficult to deal with than a conspiracy. ”
“Then Yanyan will go and prepare a place for Sect Master Zhongli to live. It’s not good to always live in Qiu Congxue’s dojo, right?” Shu Yanyan said.
“Protector Shu doesn’t seem to care about Sect Master Yin’s condition. Aren’t you worried about the chaos in the world?” Zhongli Qian asked.
Shu Yanyan said, “With Sect Master Zhongli taking care of him, there’s no need for Yanyan to worry about it. There are smart people to hold up the sky if it falls. As for me, I don’t force things, but having a good-looking person around me is at least pleasing to the eyes, isn’t it?”
Hearing her clear laughter, Zhongli Qian couldn’t help but say, “Protector Shu is very wise. "
He resigned himself to his fate and followed Shu Yanyan to take over the headquarters. No one worried that Zhongli Qian would not be able to subdue the subordinates of Temple Master Yuan. With his ability, it would only take him a month to reorganize the headquarters.
A large number of jade slips recording the history of Xuanyuan Sect, personnel lists and regulations were thrown to Zhongli Qian. In the cultivation world, a jade slip could contain enough information to fill a cart of books. At this moment, there were hundreds of jade slips alone. After Shu Yanyan put the jade slips on the table, she blushed a little and said with a little emotion: "Mr. Zhongli, stop worrying too much. You have a unique charm with white hair, but if you are bald, Yanyan will not be able to like you."
Zhongli Qian: "...Qian will do his best. "
While Shu Yanyan was flirting with Zhong Liqian, Yin Hanjiang came to Wen Ren'e's original room, which now belonged to him.
Wen Ren'e was a very simple person. Unlike Shu Yanyan who threw beds all over the dojo, his room only had a table, four chairs, and a bed that could only accommodate two adults.
The rest of the huge space was a place for cultivation. The ground was full of patterns of formations. As long as the spirit stones were placed at the center of the formation, the formation would be established.
Yin Hanjiang came to the bed. His Majesty rarely lay down, and the use of this bed was just for meditation and cultivation.
He stared at this simple wooden bed for a while, took off his boots, lay down with his clothes on, and rested his head on the pillow that His Majesty rarely used.
"Plop", "Plop", the heartbeat at this moment was louder than the drum of the Burning Heaven Drum. Yin Hanjiang counted his heartbeats and closed his eyes painfully.
When the Lord was here, he often listened to the Lord's teachings in this room. Sometimes Wen Ren'e was reading silently, and Yin Hanjiang, who was quietly waiting for him, would be distracted. Sometimes he looked at Wen Ren'e's handsome face, and sometimes he stared at this bed absent-mindedly.
What was he thinking at that time? Yin Hanjiang thought quietly. He
didn't remember.
"You remember it, right?" A familiar voice came from the bed. It was the Lord. Yin Hanjiang didn't open his eyes. He knew it was fake.
"Master Yin, you were thinking at that time that it would be great if you could lie on this bed secretly, right?" The voice became more and more intense, getting closer and closer.
Yin Hanjiang opened his eyes suddenly and saw "Wen Ren'e" standing in front of him in just a white single garment.
He looked at "Wen Ren'e" steadily, only to see that this phantom actually turned over on the bed, lying on his side beside Yin Hanjiang, and whispered: "This Lord doesn't mind sleeping with Master Yin touching his feet. "
Yin Hanjiang patted the bed and sat up, his eyes fixed on this "Wen Ren'e", as if he was facing his own unbearable heart.
He said to Zhongli Qian: "If you don't ask, you won't get it; if you only love, you will never complain or hate."
He always believed that these words were from his heart, without any falsehood. But the reason why love sin is called sin is precisely because it is difficult to conceal the delusion. How can you not ask, how can you not have improper thoughts?
Even when he hasn't thought it through, he will feel that the wine in the cup of His Majesty is extremely sweet and will want to steal a sip. When he realized that love sin had been born, the delusion could not be controlled at all.
"Master Yin, come here." "Wen Ren'e" on the bed waved to Yin Hanjiang, "Or do you want me to call you, Hanjiang?"
"Enough! "Yin Hanjiang shouted angrily. He jumped onto the bed and wanted to hug this "Wen Ren'e", but he jumped into nothing.
There was nothing in his arms, no one was there.
Yin Hanjiang stared blankly at the empty bed. There was not even a wrinkle where "Wen Ren'e" had just lain.
He was stunned for a long time, and slowly moved to the place where the illusion had just lain, as if he could feel a trace of warmth this way. But when he moved to the inside of the bed and looked at the place where he had lain, it was also empty.
There seemed to be an insatiable beast in his heart, devouring all of Yin Hanjiang's emotions.
He didn't dare to go to the bed again, and sat at the table in embarrassment. Another "Wen Ren'e" appeared on the seat next to him.
"Wen Ren'e" took the wine glass and poured himself a drink. After drinking half a glass, he looked at Yin Hanjiang: "Hanjiang, why are you staring at me like this? Do you want to drink? Here you go. "
Wen Ren'e" deliberately turned the wine glass in a different direction, pointing the part he had drunk from at Yin Hanjiang.
Yin Hanjiang lowered his head obediently and tried to drink from Wen Ren'e's hand, but still got nothing.
He was not disappointed this time. He knew it was fake, but he let himself go, to tell himself that everything was an illusion and he didn't need to take it seriously.
He wiped his face and took out "The Lord of Destruction (Volume 2)" from his storage belt. In His Majesty's room, he had to find something to do.
Yin Hanjiang had heard Wen Ren'e say that "The Sadistic Love" and "The Lord of Destruction" were two books that recorded the fate of Baili Qingmiao and He Wenchao respectively, and the two of them seemed to be the center of the world. Yin Hanjiang saw with his own eyes that the fairyland showed different scenes as Baili Qingmiao woke up and fell into a coma, and understood that everything recorded in this book was fate.
If he wants to deal with He Wenchao, he must know himself and his enemy. Although the second volume talks about the affairs of the fairy world, at least he can see the weaknesses of He Wenchao's character.
Yin Hanjiang was injured some time ago, and he did not dare to open the book that recorded the death of the Lord, fearing that it would affect his mood after reading it and his injuries would be difficult to heal.
Only when he returned to Xuanyuan Sect and was in the Lord's room, a place that made him feel a little relieved, did Yin Hanjiang dare to open the book again.
Ignoring the death of Wen Ren'e in the previous summary as much as possible, Yin Hanjiang read the book quickly.
The book tells the story of He Wenchao and Baili Qingmiao entering the fairy world, first keeping a low profile, and then slowly emerging. Baili Qingmiao is beautiful and talented, and there are always immortals who tease her without eyes. The early plot is basically driven by Baili Qingmiao. When someone bullies Baili Qingmiao, He Wenchao stands up; when he is bullied again, He Wenchao stands up again.
He Wenchao's power has broken through several times, almost all for saving Baili Qingmiao.
Women are He Wenchao's weakness. After reading it, Yin Hanjiang was secretly sure in his heart.
Then the master of Ziling Pavilion, Miss Gongxi, Zhongli Kuang, Yao Jiaping, and Cen Zhengqi ascended one after another. He Wenchao also met several powerful female immortals and male immortals who disliked the Immortal Lord Fentian in the fairy world. His power gradually grew and was enough to compete with the Immortal Lord Fentian.
In this process, Yin Hanjiang found that He Wenchao had almost no defense against women. Even if they were women from the enemy team, he would treat them gently, provided that the woman had no other male partner. At the beginning, Baili Qingmiao had some roles in the book. As the number of other women increased, she gradually became dim. After quarreling with He Wenchao over the relationship with women, she ran away angrily and was kidnapped by the Immortal Lord Fentian.
The Immortal Lord Fentian threw Baili Qingmiao into the heavenly fire of the fairy world to refine her into a soul lamp.
Seeing the word "soul lamp", Yin Hanjiang raised his eyebrows, and always felt that this Immortal Lord Fentian looked familiar.
Sure enough, when he turned the next page, he saw the words written on the book - Burning Heaven Immortal Venerable looked at Baili Qingmiao sinisterly, and said, "Since Wen Ren'e likes you, you should not let him down. I will turn you into an ever-burning lamp, and put this lamp above the Netherworld Blood Sea, illuminating it for a long time, and always accompanying him, okay?"
With these words and the Burning Heaven Drum, Yin Hanjiang was completely sure that the Burning Heaven Immortal Venerable in the second volume was himself, but what was his future self talking about?
The Venerable likes Baili Qingmiao?
He put down the book and sat at the table in a daze, his eyes dull.
Baili Qingmiao has been recuperating in Xuanyuan Sect for more than a year, and she has been sleeping most of the time. Her life magic weapon was destroyed by the chaotic energy, forcibly cutting off her connection with the magic weapon, and her dantian was severely damaged, making it difficult to recover.
However, this is not a problem for Qiu Congxue. It's just the physical body. It's better to destroy the soul and become a ghost cultivator. She can give the skills she has kept to Baili Qingmiao, and she can also help her open the passage to the hungry ghost road and throw Baili Qingmiao in to practice. It is a holy place for ghost cultivators.
Qiu Congxue is a person who does what he says and has a strong ability to act. Fortunately, Zhong Liqian arrived in time and told Qiu Congxue that Baili Qingmiao's most serious injury is not in his body, but in his heart. Even if he refines his soul, the injury in his soul cannot be healed. If he goes to the hungry ghost road in this state, he will die.
Zhong Liqian was not in a very good state at the time. He said that Baili Qingmiao was ashamed, and even he himself was affected. He had the urge to commit suicide every day.
In fact, if it weren't for Zhong Liqian controlling his mood, Baili Qingmiao might have committed suicide countless times.
Later, Shu Yanyan invited Miao Tanzhu to help suppress the Tongxin Gu. Because Miao Tanzhu was not sure about Wen Ren'e's life or death at the time, he did not dare to completely solve the Tongxin Gu for him, and could only use drugs to relieve it. Zhongli Qian temporarily got rid of his desire to die after taking the medicine, but Baili Qingmiao's condition became worse.
Zhongli Qian had to ask the master to take care of Baili Qingmiao for one night. After one night, Baili Qingmiao fell ill and was in a coma. She was always confused and wanted to commit suicide but had no strength.
During this period, Baili Qingmiao was awake and asleep, and she didn't know where she was or how long it had been.
In a semi-coma, she vaguely felt that Su Huai put a skeleton next to her, and muttered while wiping the skeleton's body: "Are you stupid? What are you talking about? What else is left in your mind besides fighting and eating?"
The skeleton moved its jawbone, "clack, clack", as if talking.
Baili Qingmiao didn't understand, but Su Huai had no problem communicating with the skeleton. He said naturally: "Are you still proud that you finally turned back into a skeleton? I worked hard to get a flesh body, and I was so happy. You finally turned into a scattered immortal body, are you so harmful?"
"Crack, clack"... "Crack"! Bai Gu's jawbone fell off.
Su Huai's voice was filled with worry: "How long will it take you to recover from this? Can you remember occasionally that you are no longer a ghost cultivator? You are a loose immortal, your body is made of meat Ganoderma lucidum, and if you lose a piece of meat, your power will be reduced by one point. Your strength has been reduced to the Nascent Soul stage by Sect Master Yin. If you continue like this, you will not be able to keep your position as a guardian."
Su Huai sighed as he connected Bai Gu's jaw and murmured: "Guardian Shu said that you first absorbed the meat Ganoderma lucidum by soaking in bone soup. The essence is all in the bones. As long as you use high-quality spirit stones to carefully maintain it, you can recover. Mr. Zhongli is helping you set up the spirit gathering array. I will carry you over in a while. You should practice well and don't toss the flesh on your body anymore."
He sighed deeply. Su Huai, a Jindan stage cultivator, carried the unbearable weight of the Jindan stage.
After taking good care of Qiu Congxue, he went to feed Baili Qingmiao another elixir. He pinched his master's chin skillfully, stuffed the medicine in, and used his true energy to stimulate Baili Qingmiao's throat, forcing her to swallow the medicine.
After doing all this, he carried the skeleton to find Zhongli Qian.
Baili Qingmiao was somewhat conscious at this moment. She guessed that the skeleton might be Qiu Congxue. She wanted to ask Master Su Huai what happened and why he was so seriously injured. Her mouth moved slightly, but she couldn't open it. After
Su Huai left, Baili Qingmiao felt heavy all over. Suddenly, she felt someone sitting next to her. A cold metal touched her face twice.
She felt a strong murderous intent, and the instinct of survival forced Baili Qingmiao to open her eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Yin Hanjiang sitting beside her bed, with a bayonet hanging on the tip of her nose. Yin Hanjiang's eyes were weird, and he seemed to be hesitating whether to stab him.
The author has something to say:
Su Huai: I'm a little tired, hey...
Zhong Liqian: Come and read the jade slips with me.
