Chapter 158 If you don't even know this, what's the point of practicing Taoism?

interior.

Yun Qingqing stood in a gray sky and earth. There was no scenery around her, no reference, no direction, only endless void.

The scene brought back distant memories and what little familiarity she had left.

The first time I looked inward in my previous life, I was faced with such a vast void.

If a novice practices Vipassana for the first time and there is no one to guide or protect him, it is extremely dangerous. If he is not careful, he may be trapped in the small world and unable to escape forever.

But her soul had been tempered and was adept at it.

Yun Qingqing stood there calmly and concentrated for a moment. The starry sky spread out in all directions with her as the center, and in an instant it became the universe.

She concentrated again, and suddenly a mysterious nine-star sky disk unfolded above her head.

Then, the land spread out in all directions under your feet.

After another moment, the center of the Eight Gates spread out before his eyes.

The three plates of heaven, earth and man rotate slowly, forming a seemingly impermanent but actually mysterious pattern. At this moment, if someone looks at this from an infinite distance, they will find that the yin and yang of the space are gradually separated, as if the entire space has become an ultimate three-dimensional array plate - the divine plate.

Yun Qingqing slowly raised her hands, and the small skull and the baby bone hairpin appeared on her left and right hands respectively.

This divination was easier than she had imagined. She soon got the answer she wanted and breathed a sigh of relief.

Her current strength is far inferior to that of her previous life. The more advanced the mystical arts are, the more cautious she has to be. This time, because the evil infant bone appeared in the world and she had to be cautious about the serious matter, she went into the inner scene to use the art of Qimen Dunjia to tell the divination.

But since she can get the answer so easily at her current level, it means that the situation is much better than imagined.

The disturbance of spiritual energy stopped quietly. Yun Qingqing opened her eyes, exhaled slowly, and narrowed her eyes.

temperature.

She pondered the answer to the divination and took out a talisman from her jade ring.

There was a faint flash of light at the fingertips, and black mist emerged from the talisman, condensing into a vague soul.

The ghost looked around in confusion, and the moment he saw her, his expression changed drastically, and he turned around and ran away.

Yun Qingqing raised her hand and threw a seal over, binding the ghost and making it unable to move.

"Master, I know I was wrong! I will never hurt anyone again. Please forgive me! I have already lost my life. Please let me go!"

When the ghost saw that he couldn't escape, he immediately wailed and begged for mercy.

He was none other than the so-called Master Wen, Wen Youde, who had almost caused Xu Daru's death.

At that time, Yun Qingqing had just traveled through time for a few days. He was lacking in spiritual power and his soul was unstable. After receiving the soul of this evil man, he became more cautious and never brought him out for interrogation.

The death of a Xuanmen person does not necessarily mean the end of his soul. If it is not suppressed by a powerful force, even a soul may be able to counterattack or escape.

But now she is no longer the same as before, so she doesn't have to worry about this evil soul playing tricks.

"Answer my question."

Yun Qingqing didn't waste time talking to him. She took out two evil infant bone objects and said in a cold voice:

"Do you recognize these two things?"

After hearing her question, Wen Youde calmed down a little and looked at her hand.

But after seeing the two things clearly, his expression changed again and he lowered his head furtively.

"If you are not even this useful, there is no need for you to stay in this world."

Yun Qingqing raised her hand and made a gesture with an expressionless face.

Wen Youde was so frightened that he shouted on the spot:

"I say, I say! Master, please spare my life!"

Yun Qingqing stopped moving, but still maintained the posture of making hand gestures and looking at him.

"You'd better think it over before you speak. I don't necessarily need to hear the answer from you."

That emotionless gaze was fixed on Wen Youde, leaving him no doubt that if she was not satisfied with his answer, she would kill him on the spot without even a chance to change his words.

Wen Youde's last bit of hope also collapsed, and he said honestly:

"I helped my senior brother refine these bone tools. We have refined a total of seven evil-gathering bone tools. My senior brother owns five of them, and I have two. The two in your hand belong to my senior brother."

Yun Qingqing's eyes turned even colder:

"Seven bone artifacts, how many babies do they belong to?"

“Only, there is only one baby!” Wen Youde was clearly a spirit body, but he still felt cold sweats. “One bone tool was refined for each of the head and limbs, and two for the spine…”

His voice became lower and lower, and he glanced at Yun Qingqing secretly, fearing that she would beat him to pieces in anger.

"Who is your senior brother and where is he?" Yun Qingqing asked again.

As fellow practitioners, we all have our own ways to defend ourselves against divination, so it would be faster to just ask directly.

"My senior brother's name is Qing Fengzi. His whereabouts are always elusive. He disappeared after refining the bone tool. I have... ahem, had no news of my senior brother for more than half a year before I met you, the master. Now I don't know where to find him."

"Everything I said is true! If I tell even a single lie, I will die a miserable death... May the heavens strike me with five thunderbolts, and may my soul fly to pieces!"

As if he remembered that he had died a miserable death, seeing Yun Qingqing frowning, he quickly added that he swore the most poisonous oath to show his sincerity.

Yun Qingqing's expression did not improve at all:

"Which sect do you belong to? Is this method of refining evil things inherited from your sect, or did you do it privately?"

Wen Youde did not dare to hide anything:

"To answer your question, I was picked up by my senior brother. Our master is a casual cultivator who has been traveling all the time. In fact, I have never seen the master since I joined the sect."

"My skills were all taught by my senior brother. In fact, he is my master, but he refused and insisted that I call him senior brother..."

"What's your master's name? Are there other people in the sect?" Yun Qingqing interrupted and asked, not hearing that there was no important information.

"This... Master is Master, and my brother never told me his name... I have never heard of any other fellow disciples..." Wen Youde felt a chill down his spine again.

"Master, I have confessed everything I know. From now on, I am willing to work like a slave for you to make up for my mistakes! Please forgive me!"

Yun Qingqing glanced at the corner calmly and said with a cold smile:

"You are a lonely ghost. It is not up to me to decide whether to spare you or not. In the underworld, I will settle your merits and demerits one by one!"

"What..." Wen Youde was stunned, and then he finally realized that the chill on his back he just felt was not just because of fear.

He turned around tremblingly and saw with horror two strange figures, one black and one white, standing in the shadow of the corner.

Two ghost messengers walked towards him, holding mourning sticks and soul-hooking ropes.

Wen Youde let out a cry and tried to turn into black smoke and escape.

However, the man in white smiled and shook the mourning stick, and the bell on it rang. Wen Youde's body suddenly froze and his eyes were distracted for a moment.

It was not until the soul-sucking rope pierced his scapula that he groaned in pain and came to his senses.

"No, it's impossible! I am from the Taoist sect and I am not on the Book of Life and Death! You, you evil spirits cannot catch me!" Wen Youde argued in shock and fear.

Bai Wuchang smiled and said:

"The Taoists you're talking about who are on the Book of Life and Death must be ordained Taoists from legitimate sects. If you don't even know this, what kind of Taoism are you practicing?"

Wen Youde was dumbfounded. He was completely stunned. Oh no, he was completely stunned.

People in the Taoist sect are not on the Book of Life and Death. It was his senior brother who taught him that. But his senior brother never mentioned that there is such a thing as transmission of ordination!

He was led away by two evil messengers in a daze, his face as pale as death.

Hei Wuchang shook the chain, and the chain extended out. The wall in the corner was suddenly covered with thick black, and the chain extended from the black fog to the distance, pointing out a path.

The two ghost messengers dragged the ghost to the junction of light and darkness, then suddenly stopped and looked back.

Bai Wuchang still had that same smiling face and looked behind him:

"Little girl, this is not a place you can go. Just go to bed."

"Okay," Yun Qingqing took out the baby skull, "If you can find out who the owner of this skull is, I won't go."

The smile on Bai Wuchang’s face froze.
