Chapter 578: Full of Doubt
."As soon as her words fell, a silvery voice echoed from outside the door:A woman of refinement, the bell chimes back and forth.Come in!Huìqì raised her voice, and the maidservant ringing the bell out...Ripples didn't hide anything, he spoke about the process of retrieving the three ghost kings and also mentioned the help from the high monks at Fahua Temple.
"Master, this time things went so smoothly, and my own caution was one reason for it."
Besides, those three Ghost Kings were eager to escape the Ghost Raising Land, so they didn't make things difficult for the few people who entered. They want to use those people's lives as bargaining chips to negotiate with us.
And the fact that the three Ghost Kings weren't united allowed me to divide them.
Finally, a high monk from the Fa Hua Temple performed a superseding ceremony, sending away all the ghosts that had been raised. Only then was the matter resolved.
Deng Guangxia listened intently, nodding along, then said:
"Last time you said to find some materials that could carry your power so you could carve small magic circles. I found some, and they'll be here shortly. You can try them all out and tell me which one feels right."
"Okay, please take care of the Sect Leader."
"Should be! How's Xiao Mu's cultivation progress I haven't seen you bringing him around to teach him."
Tang Guangxia inquired about Mu Xinyuan's situation.
"West Year was never truly an adult. He became a Heavenly Master simply because of his innate yin-yang eyes. I could see he wasn't enthusiastic about it, so I didn't rush him to start cultivating."
The ripples paved the way for their future estrangement.
"Junior sister, he doesn't understand you, teach him more. Don't give up, such a good seedling isn't common."
"I know, so now the focus is on conditioning his body. This will give him a chance to adjust. When he gets summer vacation, we'll go up the mountain and I'll give him more detailed instruction."
The ripples smiled and said.
"Alright, that's your apprentice. You know how you want to teach him."
After a few more casual exchanges, the headmaster bid farewell.
The next day, the disciples under the headmaster's command brought many materials that had been polished to the size of a bowl's opening for Lian Yi to choose from.
Professor Ma, busy clearing the paraphernalia buried with the Lord in the tomb, was unaware that a ghostly figure had evaded all members of his archaeological team. This ethereal being wandered around the entire ancient tomb before disappearing to another mountaintop.
The man, looking at the ruined landscape of the ghost-raising ground, his face was unusually grim, muttering:
"I was still a step too late, or else the Ghost Kings inside would have all been my servants."
The man could only turn and leave.
"What kind of person!"
A man suddenly spoke, clutching a talisman in his hand, about to fire it.
"Spare me, Master!"
Subsequently, a faint red figure appeared, it was the Red Queen who had escaped after taking only one bite before.
"Where do you come from, wandering spirit What are you doing hiding here"
"Master, I am the Ghost King who was cultivating in that graveyard, always waiting for your arrival."
Who knew they would encounter a female celestial master, who without a word, tricked the king out of his tomb and scattered his soul.
The mistress was deceived by her and forcibly sent into reincarnation. Only I resisted to the death, risking being beaten to pieces until my soul flew apart before escaping.
Hong Ji had long sensed the man's peculiarity, so she feigned a story about her own experiences.
"You said you were cultivating in the graveyard"
A man grinned and asked.
"Yes."
"It seems we have quite a history together. Come with me!"
The man casually pulled out a hawthorn talisman, directly storing the red hairpin inside it, then turned and walked down the mountain.
And while Mu Xi Nian was soaking in a medicinal bath, he was certain that his experiences this lifetime were completely different from his past life.
Because the master he had once taken such great care of is now using the most potent concoctions to develop his potential.
After receiving the oral medication from Lianyi, he spent most of the first three days in the bathroom as the medicine helped him detoxify.
He was so sweaty that his parents couldn't stand it, and almost sent him to the hospital. He calmed them down by explaining that he was detoxifying himself.
At this moment, he was soaking in his bathtub, the water infused with boiled medicinal pouches. He felt his whole body being roasted like it was on fire, as if he would melt away in the next instant.
Unfortunately, another force was at work within him, flowing through his meridians, restructuring his entire body.
For a whole two hours, he endured this torment, but the effect was pleasing. He transformed from a black-skinned boy to a pale-skinned young man, looking a little handsome.
As soon as his school was out for summer vacation, he eagerly went to Longhushan.
Someone took Mushi to the courtyard where Lianyi lived.
"Master, I'm here!"
Musin said excitedly.
"Well, it seems the potions and baths have worked well. Your body feels much more clear."
Ripple with truth.
"Thank you, Master, for the medicine you prepared for me. It works very well."
"For the next two months, you'll train in martial arts in the morning, study basic Taoist knowledge in the afternoon, and I will quiz you on what you learned during the day at night. Any questions"
No, everything follows Master's arrangements.
Moussi replied immediately.
Never before had I had such a tight learning schedule.
Have you memorized both of the books I gave you
"We all memorized it."
Okay, then let me test you today.
"Master, please."
Musiyen is still very confident. He has memorized both books thoroughly.
"How should one handle a wronged spirit"
"Help him seek justice, and then send him to reincarnation."
How can you be sure that the grievance he claims is true or false What if the other party is deceiving you to get out of trouble
The ripples continued to ask.
After thinking for a moment, Musinian said:
"One can read another's memories and find out the true reason why they remain in the human world."
"What if she had no memory"
The rippling noodle asked expressionlessly.
Musing's heart skipped a beat, her gaze lifting to the ripples at the top.
Well Isn't this question hard to answer
The Ripple emoji asked faintly.
"No, first send the other party into reincarnation. In the underworld, there will be a place for her to seek justice."
Musi leaned down and said.
"Well, what if the other party doesn't want to enter the cycle of reincarnation"
Then force the other party into reincarnation. She can't continue to linger in the human world.
Mussyen continued.
"Then you are not as skilled as the other person, are you"
Every step was fraught with ripples of pressing questions.
"I I"
"Mu Xinyuan's 'I' struggled for a long time, but couldn't say anything substantial."
"Such a simple question, can't you figure it out"
You have a master, and behind you stands the Dragon Tiger Mountain. As your master, if I can't win, of course I would call for help!
Ripples said softly.
At this moment, Mu Xi Nian also reacted. He realized he had been overthinking things. He thought he was the lone sorcerer, isolated and fighting the world alone.
"My apprentice, remember this: if you encounter powerful ghosts or demons, come back and ask your master for help!"
"Well! But you can't just try things every time and then run away without a fight."
Ripple arched an eyebrow and spoke.
"Yes, my apprentice understands! Run if we can't win."
That's about right.
Musen barely passed the random inspection. Over the next two months, he began a grueling period of cultivation.
No matter how hard or tiring the training was, Musiyen could persist. However, he increasingly confirmed that his master had no feelings for him beyond those of a teacher and student. Even compared to his past life, his master seemed even more indifferent towards him. A question lingered in his mind: did his master also reincarnates already extracted his own intelligence brain, arranging for people from the research institute to bring another treatment chamber over. He needs to connect the two devices, and now it's a race again...
