Chapter 137 Resurrection of Hu Yunrong (2)
“This is… the Evil-Slaying Sword!” Bei Lanshan finally recognized the Evil-Slaying Sword. He murmured, “No wonder it can withstand my attack.”
The Sword of Evil-Slaying, as the name suggests, can kill all evil spirits and is the nemesis of demons.
Before he became a demon, Bei Lanshan had always wanted to obtain this sword. He used the sword to slay demons and become famous throughout the world.
Later he realized that what should be killed was not the evil spirits, but the human heart.
People are all selfish. The elder of the Meteorite Sect wants to use a magic weapon made from the bones of a fox fairy to forcibly practice evil skills. He is not a demon, but he has caused countless innocent people to lose their lives.
So Bei Lanshan no longer wanted to obtain the Evil-Slaying Sword.
In order to snatch Hu Yunrong's bones back from the elders, he turned into a demon without any hesitation.
But he didn't expect that the Evil-Slaying Sword would become a major obstacle in his journey to resurrect Hu Yunrong.
Under the protection of the Sword of the Evil Slayer, Shen Yijin walked to Bei Lanshan and kept a certain distance from him: "Trust me one last time, I really have a way to revive Hu Yunrong without using forbidden techniques."
Seeing that Bei Lanshan didn't believe it, Shen Yijin continued: "Like you, I think it's not worth it to lose its life for the villagers. But don't forget that Yunrong saved so many villagers. If the merits of saving people are attributed to her, she can ascend."
Hu Yunrong is already a fox fairy. If she accumulates enough merits, she can ascend to heaven.
If the people of Qianfang Village and several surrounding villages had not believed the lies of the so-called "immortal" and thought that he was the one who could solve the village's epidemic, Hu Yunrong might have ascended to heaven long ago.
“So, as long as we make up for the merits that Yunrong failed to obtain, Yunrong will definitely be able to be resurrected as a fox fairy, not to mention ascending to heaven on the spot.” Chen Yijin looked into Bei Lanshan’s eyes and said.
Bei Lanshan understood what Shen Yijin meant, but where could he get so much merit to revive Hu Yunrong?
Bei Lanshan frowned and asked, "Is incense not enough? Over the years, I have been asking the villagers of Qianfang Village and their descendants to provide incense to Yunrong. Yunrong became an immortal with the help of incense. Can incense be used to rebuild her body?"
Chen Yijin didn't want to disappoint Bei Lanshan, but the fact was that incense was not as good as merit, and only merit could allow Hu Yunrong to reshape his body.
"When you took the skeleton back from the elders, didn't you think of taking revenge on the immortal who cheated Hu Yunrong of her merits? Or at least knowing where he is would be fine." Chen Yijin said tactfully.
Bei Lanshan knew what Chen Yijin meant. Incense could not replace merit, but they could take back the merit that belonged to Hu Yunrong from the "immortal".
Bei Lanshan's expression was still very ugly: "But this person is already dead."
Shen Yijin was not surprised: "You killed him?"
“No, he was also taken by the elders to refine a magical weapon.” Bei Lanshan had a gloomy face. “Refining a magical weapon for transforming evil spirits requires the support of merit. The entire sect can’t gather that much merit, so they used that man as a sacrifice for the magical weapon.”
When it comes to exploiting people, the elders always know how to squeeze out the most out of a person.
Shen Yijin sighed deeply: "Did I owe you in my previous life? I haven't used up all the merits I just earned yet, but it's going to be used up for you."
She had used up most of her merits in order to save the civet cats that were petrified and sealed by Bei Lanshan, and she had just used up some of them to save Bei Shitao's soul. Now she really didn't have much merits left.
Now, she had to use the remaining merit to revive Hu Yunrong. It was estimated that the remaining merit was not enough, so she had to find a way to get some from other places.
After Bei Lanshan heard what Shen Yijin said, the last bit of demonic energy in his body disappeared.
He looked at Shen Yijin in surprise and asked, "Do you have enough merit to save Yunrong?"
Shen Yijin nodded and opened his palm towards him: “Give me Yunrong’s bones, and I will give it the merits.”
Bei Lanshan took out Hu Yunrong's skeleton and stared at Shen Yijin closely, fearing that she would do something bad to Hu Yunrong's skeleton.
Chen Yijin took a deep breath, passed on his remaining merits to Hu Yunrong, and took another drop of his own blood, using it to draw a formation on the skeleton.
“What formation are you drawing?” Bei Lanshan didn’t see what formation Shen Yijin was drawing, but he knew how to set up formations himself, and he could tell that Shen Yijin’s formation would not harm Hu Yunrong’s skeleton.
So he just asked and didn’t stop Shen Yijin’s actions.
Shen Yijin replied distractedly: "I am drawing the soul-calling formation."
Although this skeleton belongs to Hu Yunrong, after so many years, it was taken away by the elders of the Meteorite Sect to be made into a magical weapon. Only a weak connection remains between this skeleton and the repaired soul of Hu Yunrong. Without the assistance of the soul-calling formation, it is difficult to guarantee that Hu Yunrong can retain her complete memory after returning to this skeleton.
Bei Lanshan felt relieved and watched Shen Yijin take the next step.
Shen Yijin used the soul-calling formation to recall Hu Yunrong's soul. She guided the merits in the skeleton to repair Hu Yunrong's soul while allowing Hu Yunrong to regain control of the skeleton.
Merit is like 502 glue, tightly connecting Hu Yunrong's soul and bones together.
Bei Lanshan looked at Hu Yunrong's skeleton with a strange expression, and waited until Chen Yijin stopped before asking, "Is that all? What's the difference between this and a skeleton? Also, when will Yunrong wake up? You're not lying to me again, are you?"
Shen Yijin's remaining merits were insufficient, so he could only help Hu Yunrong to give birth to a partial physical body.
Now only Hu Yunrong's head is intact, and the rest of his body below the neck is still in the form of a skeleton.
"Well, I don't have enough merit now, so this is all I can do. But I used my merit to reconnect Yunrong's body and skeleton. Now Yunrong can completely control this body and is not affected by the rules of the magic weapon. She is now the holder of the magic weapon, not the spirit of the weapon."
Chen Yijin touched his nose awkwardly and continued, "As for waking up, incense is needed. Yunrong is a fox fairy, so he still needs to absorb incense."
Bei Lanshan was half-believing and half-doubting. He temporarily caught a ghost from the ghosts that gathered together but failed to merge with Hu Yunrong's soul, and ordered it to burn incense for Hu Yunrong.
When Shen Yijin saw that the ghost that was caught was a familiar one, the female ghost that she had come all the way to the desert to save.
The female ghost was forced into a wooden doll. She used the wooden body unfamiliarly and respectfully lit a stick of incense for Hu Yunrong.
The incense slowly rose and floated into Hu Yunrong's body.
After about ten minutes, Hu Yunrong slowly opened his eyes.
"Yunrong, you're awake!" Bei Lanshan immediately knelt down beside Hu Yunrong and said excitedly.
Hu Yunrong looked at Bei Lanshan's face, which was completely different from the one in her memory. She had just woken up, and her brain hadn't reacted yet: "Who are you... and where is this place?"
Bei Lanshan froze. "I am Bei Lanshan, Yunrong, don't you remember me?"
