The reason why a forbidden technique is a forbidden technique is because the cost required is extremely huge, and also because once it is triggered, the impact it causes cannot be controlled.
As his lifespan faded year by year, the young man in pink's black hair became mottled, and tiny wrinkles appeared on his evil face.
Reaching out and touching the dry skin, a fierce look flashed in the eyes of the young man in pink.
He has always cherished this face of his, but now because of Rong Jing he has to change himself into this appearance. The hatred that has grown from this is even greater than Rong Jing ruining his plan!
A bright spiritual light suddenly burst out from his body, and the soul-trapping array that Rong Jing had set up on him was finally broken. The young man in pink had bloodshot black eyes, and he stared at Rong Jing ferociously, with a beast-like wheezing sound coming from his throat.
“Hehe…”
Having sacrificed several decades of his life, the pink-clothed young man's cultivation is now much more profound than at his peak.
As he raised his arm, dozens of evil spirits suddenly appeared in front of him, with bloodthirsty red eyes and resentment like water. In an instant, they controlled the footsteps of everyone present and stopped them in their tracks!
Even Xie Xuanqing, who was protected by evil spirit, felt an indescribable feeling of suffocation, not to mention the missing persons whose bodies had been eroded by Yin energy before and who relied on a little spiritual energy to maintain their lives after coming here.
"You guys... since you want to save these people so much, then just stay here with them! Hahahaha!"
As if he had foreseen the power he would possess after absorbing the blood and souls of these two Heavenly Masters, the young man in pink no longer worried about his temporarily aged appearance. He clenched his palms lightly and commanded those evil spirits to bite towards Rong Jing and Heavenly Master Long!
Master Long Tianshi's Gu technique is extremely powerful, but it is mainly used on humans. Facing more and more evil spirits, Master Long Tianshi frowned slightly, and while he tried his best to stand in front of the rescued victims to block the evil spirits' negative energy, he kept releasing poisonous insects, trying to completely control the young man in pink.
However, the opponent's aura was so strong that the poisonous insects released by Master Long Tianshi were completely swallowed up by those well-trained evil spirits before they could get close to him.
As more and more poisonous insects died, Master Long Tianshi's power inevitably weakened.
After all, the relationship between the Gu Master and the Gu insects they raise is one of mutual success and mutual loss.
Zhou Songyun and others work in special departments all year round, so they can naturally feel the changes in the atmosphere in the air keenly.
Zhou Songyun quickly moved the victims to the front of the cave entrance. He left behind all the defensive magic weapons on his body, then held the silver gun in his hand, endured the torture of the Yin energy, and pulled the trigger at the young man in pink.
With a light "bang" sound, the bullet exploded in front of the young man in pink. A fierce ghost stood in front of him with a big hole in its body. A bullet casing was sandwiched between rotten flesh and blood, slowly squirming.
It looked disgusting and scary.
The young man in pink didn't mind at all. He picked up the shell and took a look at it, then said, "Interesting."
The formation was actually engraved on the bullet, which is quite a unique approach.
pity……
"The person who engraved the formation is too weak."
The young man in pink had never felt his strength so strong. He squinted his eyes slightly in enjoyment, flicked his fingertips, and the bullet shell in his hand flew towards Zhou Songyun's heart!
Zhou Songyun was shocked, but he had a victim behind him and there was no way to avoid it!
Just when the bullet shell carrying the evil spirit's rotten flesh was about to penetrate Zhou Songyun's chest, a golden light suddenly blossomed, like a gorgeous lotus or a nimble butterfly, and easily removed the spiritual power that the pink-clothed young man had bestowed on the bullet shell.
"Pang." The shell fell to the ground.
The golden light became more and more complex and dazzling, and in an instant, it turned into a huge formation, protecting Zhou Songyun, Xie Xuanqing and others!
The boundless Yin energy gradually retreated when it encountered the golden formation. Master Long Tianshi looked at this scene in shock, and belatedly turned his gaze to Rong Jing.
Is he... actually so powerful?
The young man in pink also noticed this scene.
The previous back and forth only happened within a few minutes. He released dozens of evil spirits, among which there was also a ghost Gu that had been refined for a long time, just waiting for the moment when Rong Jing relaxed to give him a fatal blow, but -
The other party had clearly just set up a huge protective talisman formation that consumed an unknown amount of spiritual energy, but at this moment, there was no sign of reluctance on his face, and he was still so calm... and indifferent.
As if she had noticed his gaze, Rong Jing finally raised his eyes.
His slender fingers loosely grasped the neck of a two-headed evil ghost. With just a little force, the evil and bloody energy emanating from the evil ghost began to make a "hissing" sound as if it had encountered a natural enemy. In less than two seconds, the entire evil ghost shattered and disappeared in his hands.
"Impossible--" The young man in pink blurted out subconsciously with tears of blood in his eyes.
That was the ghost Gu that he had carefully raised. He had fed dozens of evil ghosts to each other and then carefully used his own blood to produce this one evil ghost. It was as powerful as the legendary ghost king. How could it die so easily in Rong Jing's hands?
But the tearing feeling in his heart was reminding him that, yes, the ghost Gu was gone, completely disappeared.
"No--!"
The young man staggered back two steps, leaned back to support himself, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and opened his eyes wide.
Yes, he can still...
He scraped his fingers back fiercely and felt the blood flowing down his hand. Just as the young man in pink was about to mobilize the remaining spiritual power in his body, a dazzling golden whip suddenly appeared in front of him and violently dispersed the spiritual energy condensed in his body.
"Ah!" The young man in pink screamed, as if the long whip had hit his soul directly. Intense pain spread throughout his body, causing him to suffer so much that his knees softened and he fell to the ground.
Xie Xuanqing had been paying attention to Rong Jing's condition ever since the young man in pink used a forbidden technique to break Rong Jing's previous talisman formation.
Now he had a calm expression, his silver hair fell like a galaxy, and he exuded a chilling aura. He raised the hand holding the whip slightly, and then dropped it without hesitation.
The sound of breaking air suddenly sounded, and the strength of the young man in pink was dispersed again and again. In the end, only a little life remained.
Seeing this, Rong Jing slowly lowered his eyes, then slowly put away the whip in his hand.
——My hands are still a little rusty.
Rong Jing thought calmly and dispersed the talisman formation he had set up earlier.
Zhou Songyun slowly stood up and carefully looked at the condition of the young man in pink.
After Rong Jing drained away the power he had gained from the forbidden technique, his face seemed to become even older, and his already mottled hair now looked almost devoid of any trace of black.
He lay on the ground with his eyes closed. Zhou Songyun tried to feel his breath and it seemed that he was still breathing.
But this is enough to make people feel shocked.
What kind of person could destroy dozens of evil spirits so easily and even drain the power of a heavenly master...
Zhou Songyun worked in a special department and had dealt with countless Heavenly Masters, but he had never seen a Heavenly Master as powerful as Rong Jing, who made people hold their breath and worship him.
After taking a deep breath, Zhou Songyun slowly calmed down and said in a hoarse voice, "Still alive."
As long as he's still alive, it'll be much easier to investigate the whole thing.
Master Long Tianshi finally relaxed. One third of the poisonous insects in her body had died in the previous fight. Her originally exquisitely styled hair now looked a little messy.
Pursing his lips, Master Long Tianshi said: "Master Rong Tianshi's handwriting... is really eye-opening."
There wasn't a trace of dissatisfaction in her words, and if you listened carefully, there was even a hint of uncontrollable fear.
Rong Jing lowered his eyes to look at her, but gave her some advice: "Witchcraft and Gu are inseparable. You have mastered Gu techniques. If you want to go further, you might as well start with witchcraft and learn from their strengths to make up for your weaknesses."
Master Long Tianshi’s witchcraft is indeed good, but her shortcomings are also very obvious.
That was because she relied too much on the poisonous insects. In a situation like the one just now, using only the poisonous insects to deal with the evil spirit was like using a short hand to attack a long hand, and naturally she could not do anything to the young man in pink.
However, the concept of "witch" is more complicated and tends to be more inclined towards the study of ghosts.
If Master Long Tianshi could integrate witchcraft and Gu into one, he would be able to do more when he encounters such an opponent in the future.
Master Long was slightly startled, then he suppressed his emotions and thanked Rong Jing solemnly and respectfully: "Thank you... Master Rong for your guidance."
She had vaguely felt that there seemed to be some flaws in the art of witchcraft, but she had never known how to make up for it.
When Rong Jing said this, she remembered a witch doctor she had met before. The methods he used were very strange, and he was like a fish in water when facing evil spirits.
It complements her witchcraft.
His eyes moved slightly, and Master Long Tianshi became more cautious towards Rong Jing.
Since the other party could see her flaws at a glance and even give her advice, it meant that... the other party was very proficient in witchcraft, at least in theory.
But she had never heard of such a person in the metaphysical world before.
This young man named Rong Jing, where on earth...is this monster coming from?
Rong Jing had no idea what was in Master Long Tian’s mind.
He was just giving some pointers because Master Long Tianshi was willing to protect the victim behind him even at the risk of getting injured himself.
Retracting his gaze, Rong Jing ignored the young man in pink who was lying on the ground and tied up with ropes by Zhou Songyun, and walked directly past him to a corner vaguely blocked behind him.
Xie Xuanqing noticed his movements, his eyes moved, and he followed him.
Just now, when he was standing aside and watching Rong Jing easily deal with the young man in pink, his mood was indescribably complicated.
Sharp and beautiful, powerful and ruthless.
It is like a bright moon hanging high in the sky, attracting people to come closer, yet difficult to touch.
But as a mortal, he still forced himself to run towards the bright moon.
The murderous aura on Xie Xuanqing was so obvious that Rong Jing noticed it as soon as he approached.
Rong Jing glanced back and his eyes moved slightly, and then he heard Xie Xuan call out "Mr. Rong" softly.
"?" So is there something wrong?
"Nothing." Xie Xuanqing met Rong Jing's gaze, paused, and replied with a smile.
Rong Jing: “…”
Rong Jing was too lazy to figure out what had suddenly happened to him. He turned his head and continued to look in front of the stone platform.
At the place where the young man in pink had just fallen, there stood a strange stone statue with crude carvings, and at first glance it was impossible to tell what it was carved of.
Rong Jing lowered his eyes and looked for a few seconds, then lightly touched the stone statue with his fingertips.
Xie Xuanqing stood behind him, his eyes following his movements.
Only then did he realize that the stone statue was not a mess of lines, but two intertwined and twisted human figures.
But this stone statue is not carved with any aesthetic appeal. It only makes people feel sick, and there is no sense of charm at all.
What is this? Xie Xuan frowned slightly, vaguely feeling a little uncomfortable.
Master Long Tian came back to his senses and walked over to them.
Noticing the stone statue under Rong Jing's command, his eyebrows raised and he blurted out: "What is this?!"
Xie Xuanqing couldn't see it, but she and Rong Jing, both being Heavenly Masters, could tell at a glance the obscene and dark smell emanating from the stone statue, as well as a faint scent of incense. They didn't know which evil god it was worshipping.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Rong Jing.
To be honest, although the aura of this stone statue was disgusting, she had not noticed its existence before because it was located in the corner of the cave and was blocked by many stone platforms.
But Rong Jing seemed to have guessed it long ago. After dealing with the pink-robed Taoist priest, he came straight over here.
Tianshi Long didn't doubt whether Rong Jing had anything to do with this matter. She was just curious whether Rong Jing had really guessed what was going on.
Given the abilities he had demonstrated before, it seemed possible.
Rong Jing did guess what this thing was.
In the past, there was a Tantric practice called "Joyful Zen," which allowed people to increase their magical powers through the union of yin and yang.
It's just that the statues used in the Tantric "Joyful Zen" are Buddha statues, with male and female Buddhas having intercourse, and there is a theory of the fusion of body and technique, and controlling desire with desire.
However, the stone statue before him had hideous and twisted lines, with no trace of Buddhism at all. It could only be a kind of evil technique that came out of Tantric Buddhism.
Compared to the mutual promotion of Joy Zen, this method is simply "collecting and replenishing". Combined with the hexagrams that Rong Jing had calculated before, there is no doubt that the reason why the young man in pink abducted so many young men and women back is to collect and replenish something from them.
...For example, luck.
Before Rong Jing came over, he asked Zhou Songyun for some information about the missing persons. Just by taking a few glances at their birth dates, he was able to infer the fate of these people.
When two extremely compatible fates merge together, the luck of the two people will naturally connect, and even have an effect of one plus one being greater than two. What the Pink-robed Heavenly Master wants is to use the skills obtained from this evil statue to make the captured young men and women have intercourse with each other, and then take away the luck that has increased after their union.
When luck is taken away, the fate will naturally change.
These people have lost their luck. The better ones may live a hard life but their life span will not change. The worse ones will suffer from constant disasters and survive a near-death experience.
But at least I survived.
I’m afraid that the Pink-robed Taoist Priest actually didn’t want them to survive.
Just looking at the dozens of evil spirits he had released before, you can know what will happen to the useless people if they fall into his hands.
Rong Jing didn't believe that the other party would send back the person who had absorbed the luck.
His eyes were slightly cold. Rong Jing gently applied force with his fingers, and a faint golden light flowed out along with the movement of his fingertips and fell on the stone statue.
Only an extremely sharp scream was heard from the stone statue, and a black figure who could not be identified as a man or a woman was pulled out by Rong Jing and wiped out with his hands.
Before being annihilated, the black shadow stared at Rong Jing unwillingly and angrily, "It's you again..."
Rong Jing's brows moved slightly, and then he paid a little attention to look at it carefully.
It was just that he acted a little too quickly, or perhaps the black shadow was too weak, but when Rong Jing lowered his eyes to look over, it had already dissipated unwillingly into the air.
Rong Jing: “…”
He just felt that the aura of the stone statue was a bit strange, so he tried to drag out the vengeful spirit hidden inside.
But now that I think about it, the aura that the black shadow just conveyed seemed a little familiar.
Frowning, Rong Jing recalled the feeling he had when dealing with the life-changing array several times before.
Seems to be somewhat similar.
However, unlike the Life-Exchange Formation, the Pink-Clothed Heavenly Master is not collecting vitality and luck, but directly plundering and filling himself up.
...Perhaps, he got some runes of the life-changing array from somewhere, and after combining them with evil magic, the current situation evolved.
Of course, these are all Rong Jing’s own guesses. Now that the black shadow has disappeared, the truth can only be known after the special department has interrogated the Pink-Clothed Heavenly Master.
He gently withdrew his hand. Because of the previous action, there was a thin layer of lime on Rong Jing's fingertips.
Just as Master Long Tian was about to take out a tissue from his bag and hand it over, he saw the head of the Xie family take out a handkerchief from his coat pocket.
Long Tianshi: “…”
Rong Jing also: "..."
After silently glancing at Xie Xuanqing, Rong Jing reached out and took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it.
When Xie Xuanqing saw this, his eyes moved slightly, and then he put the handkerchief back without changing his expression.
When tying up the pink-robed Taoist priest, Zhou Songyun contacted the people in the department to come and pick them up.
At this time, there was a sound of a car outside the cave, and the people who came to pick up the child arrived.
Because the longest missing person present had been missing for nearly a month, and there seemed to be not enough supplies in the entire cave to sustain their lives, so when contacting the department, Zhou Songyun also called a medical team over.
However, after a rough check, the vital signs of these missing persons were relatively stable. The medical team had heard about the whole story of the disappearance case before, and were a little surprised to see this.
Rong Jing knew why. The Pink-robed Heavenly Master relied on Yin energy to select people with specific destinies, but it was easy to find people with special destinies, but it was difficult to find people who matched them.
The pink-robed Taoist priest obviously did not want to wait until everything was ready before taking the person away, as this would cause too much noise and would be difficult to operate.
So he released the ghost servants to bring back every person he could find, and then used formations to maintain their vitality, waiting for the right time to take away all their luck in one fell swoop.
But he didn't expect that his greedy behavior would eventually attract Rong Jing, causing him to fail and lose decades of life and spiritual power.
This can also be considered as... being calculated by heaven.
Rong Jing thought of the two hexagrams he had calculated, then raised his eyes to the sky where snow was still falling.
After confirming that the missing person's vital signs were relatively stable, Zhou Songyun breathed a sigh of relief and then began to deal with the follow-up of this missing person case.
Because of the little bit of spiritual energy that Rong Jing had left behind, most of the missing persons were still sleeping. Zhou Songyun asked the medical team to send them to the hospital for a more thorough examination. After confirming that there was no problem, they began to mobilize various departments to contact the families of the missing persons.
In addition, the interrogation by the Pink-robed Heavenly Master is also an extremely important part.
It can be said that after the missing persons were found, the troubles of the special department had just begun.
But on the other hand, this also gives the special departments an opportunity to re-adjust after the rectification.
As long as Zhou Songyun can seize this opportunity, dealing with similar incidents in the future will not be as difficult as it is now.
On the second day after returning from the cave, Wen Xiaoxiao finally woke up.
She opened her eyes dazedly and shouted the first thing she did was, "Cousin!"
Because he was worried about him, the staff took a leave and came to the hospital to look after her. When he heard her movements, he quickly stood up and looked over: "Xiaoxiao, I'm here, don't be afraid..."
The first time she saw him, Wen Xiaoxiao's eyes were red.
Probably because they had collected almost all the information, the Pink-robed Heavenly Master finally relaxed his control over Wen Xiaoxiao and his group.
At that time, Wen Xiaoxiao felt something was wrong halfway after leaving the hotel, but she could not control her body and had no way to call for help from others. She could only be held stiffly by the arms and walked into the mountains step by step.
Wen Xiaoxiao thought she was dreaming at first, but then she saw a lot of people in the cave, many of whom had disappeared before.
“Wuwuwu…”
After all, she was still a little girl. Wen Xiaoxiao grabbed the stagehand and cried for a long time before she came to her senses belatedly: "Am I saved? Or am I dreaming?"
"You're not dreaming. You are saved." The staff comforted him.
He touched Wen Xiaoxiao's head and couldn't help but think of the scene he had seen in the cave.
Is that the legendary Heavenly Master?
Such a powerful and dazzling existence, he had actually worked with such a person before...
"Cousin?" Wen Xiaoxiao didn't know what happened in the cave at that time. Seeing that the site manager seemed to be in a daze, she couldn't help but call him, "How did I get saved?"
Wen Xiaoxiao had experienced it herself, so she knew that the so-called missing cases actually had supernatural elements. She had been in a daze in the cave for several days, and she was a little curious about how she was rescued in the end.
Could it be that the legendary master from the country’s special department took action?
The groundskeeper heard: "..."
Thinking of his cousin who used to shout "Master Rong is so handsome" every day, the stagehand said slowly: "Well, it was Master Rong who saved you."
Wen Xiaoxiao: “……?”
In the end, the conversation did not continue.
Probably because they heard that Wen Xiaoxiao had finally woken up, people from the special department came over to continue collecting information.
The interrogation of the Pink-robed Heavenly Master also made some progress.
"His name is Ye Qianxing. He used to be a disciple of the Hongchen Sect. Five years ago, he was expelled from the sect for privately raising evil spirits. He has been missing since then."
The Hongchen Sect is actually a branch of the Hehuan Sect that was circulated in the past. The magic they practiced tends to be dual cultivation. Their cultivation is not bad, but they are not good at fighting and prefer refining weapons.
Their special department also has connections with some Heavenly Masters of the Red Dust Sect, and occasionally uses some resources to exchange magical instruments from them.
Many of the defensive magic weapons that Zhou Songyun and others had carried with them were exchanged from them.
Ye Qianxing was finally captured by Rong Jing, so Zhou Songyun did not hide the news from Rong Jing.
"However, according to investigation, Ye Qianxing was already 39 years old when he was expelled from the sect."
But when they saw Ye Qianxing for the first time in the cave that day, he looked clearly like a young man of no more than twenty-one or twenty-two years old.
Either the person they caught was not Ye Qianxing himself and he was lying; or...
"He had previously used sorcery to steal the lives of more than 20 people. However, because he was not proficient in it and the sorcery he picked up was somewhat incomplete, he was only able to absorb a portion of the vitality to reverse youth, but did not absorb any luck."
Just this is enough to make a person take risks again.
In this planning, Ye Qianxing made much more careful preparations than the previous one. If Rong Jing had not calculated his location in the end, he might have been able to escape again.
Zhou Songyun frowned and looked unhappy.
More than 20 lives were lost without a trace. Zhou Songyun was heartbroken and reflecting at the same time.
The reason why their special department was established is to prevent such things from happening.
But looking at the things they have handled, how many of them could have been solved without relying on Rong Jing's strength?
How long will they have to rely on Rong Jing?
People in the special department, including himself, really need to grow up.
"After today, the special department will set up special teams. Each team will be assigned ten soldiers and three masters. No matter how big or small the problem is, we will solve it as a team." Zhou Songyun raised his head and gave orders to those below.
In this way, there are three masters present to solve the problem. No matter who has second thoughts, the other two masters can restrain him to some extent.
And handling things in this way can also be faster and more accurate.
Zhou Songyun did not hide the changes in the special department from Rong Jing.
After taking a quick look at the message sent by the other party, Rong Jing moved his fingertips and replied with a "hmm".
As for Ye Qianxing's matter, Rong Jing was also not too surprised.
The first time he saw him, Rong Jing saw the sin of killing that he carried. It was a bloody color that was so thick that even spiritual energy could not dissolve it. There were countless grievances condensed in it, but they were blocked by the vitality he borrowed and could not touch him at all.
If Wen Xiaoxiao hadn't led him away, it would have been unknown how long Ye Qianxing could have been free.
A brilliant golden light suddenly burst out from his fingertips. Rong Jing looked at the hexagram displayed on it for a few seconds, then wiped it off casually.
After getting off the car, Rong Jing took the fruit basket and walked into the hospital.
"I hope you can be discharged from the hospital soon." Rong Jing said.
She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but Wen Xiaoxiao felt that after Rong Jing said this, her spirits seemed to improve a lot.
Although Ye Qianxing did not make things difficult for them before, the Yin energy used for marking still had a certain effect on their bodies. Wen Xiaoxiao had been in contact with the five ghosts while awake, so her soul and body were a little weak.
The spiritual energy that Rong Jing gave could naturally make up for this deficiency, but Wen Xiaoxiao's fate was more peculiar than that of others. All four pillars were pure yin, and that little bit of spiritual energy could not be fully absorbed until now, so Rong Jing had to come over to help her.
Wen Xiaoxiao touched her eyebrows subconsciously and felt as if a warm air flowed from her eyebrows to her whole body.
Wait, Wen Xiaoxiao remembered the words her cousin had made up before -
Could it be true that Rong Jing is the Heavenly Master?!
