Chapter 209 Mid-July, the Gates of Hell Open
It was not until they left the barren mountain that Huo Qinghuang discovered that there was a clear breeze and a bright moon outside, with stars hanging high in the sky, which formed a sharp contrast with the gloomy and depressing atmosphere in the barren mountain.
She looked up at the brilliant starry sky, and the murderous intent and hostility in her heart were gradually soothed by the tranquility of the night.
"Even if I were to be reborn a hundred times, I wouldn't be able to change my personality."
She shook her head and smiled bitterly, suddenly thinking of the meaning of this rebirth.
Since she came into this world, she has been thinking about one question.
Logically speaking, she has already achieved enlightenment and become an emperor, so there is no possibility of failure in Nirvana.
If there were any enemies who wanted to deal with her, they would have rushed into the long river of time when she failed in nirvana, erased all traces of her past, present and future, and would not have given her any chance to be reborn.
But in fact, not only was she reborn, she also retained her past memories, and even her soul did not change. She was just temporarily trapped by the black blood.
But this difficulty was nothing to her.
As long as she has spiritual energy, she will return to the top sooner or later.
At the very least, you can earn some merit by telling people's fortunes, and rely on the power of merit to slowly eliminate the black blood.
She pondered this question countless times and finally came to a conclusion.
The ancestors must have disliked her, so when she was in Nirvana, they threw her into some corner to let her experience the various aspects of life and temper her temper?
"Tsk, I am who I am. I will still be who I am even if it happens ten thousand times! However, if you dare to throw me to such a remote place, you must be prepared for my revenge when I come back!"
Feeling that he had figured it out, Huo Qinghuang looked up at the sky, sneered, and his eyes were fierce.
…
Huo family.
Ever since Huo Qinghuang left, Butler Wang has been pacing back and forth in front of the manor gate, feeling very nervous, fearing that something might happen to his master.
"Why haven't you come back yet?"
Butler Wang had his hands behind his back, his thick eyebrows almost twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
Suddenly, his eyes fixed and he shouted, "Miss, you're back!"
Having said that, he quickly walked over to him.
Not far away, Huo Qinghuang walked slowly towards them. She looked particularly cool in her green dress in the night, as if she had blended in with the surrounding darkness, yet she faintly revealed an edge that could not be ignored.
Her pace was neither fast nor slow, and every step seemed to be stepping on the node of time, with an indescribable calmness and pressure.
Even though Butler Wang was extremely anxious at the moment, he was intimidated by her aura and couldn't help but slow down his pace.
"Miss, how is the master's injury?"
He swallowed, his face full of smiles, but there was a barely perceptible nervousness in his eyes.
The young lady's aura was too scary, even though he often faced her. If it were a stranger, facing such a young lady, he would have to kneel down on the spot.
Huo Qinghuang looked calm, as if she didn't notice his abnormality, and waved her hand: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious."
Upon hearing this, Butler Wang's eyes instantly turned red, and his voice trembled with excitement: "Thank God, thank God! Fortunately, the eldest lady helped. If anything happened to the master, I don't know what I would do."
As he spoke, his legs went limp and he almost fell to his knees.
Huo Qinghuang was quick to pull him back, her mouth twitching slightly, "I should have taken action, butler Wang doesn't need such a generous gesture."
Butler Wang: “…”
He was just too nervous, he didn't really want to kneel down.
But he didn't dare to deny it in front of Huo Qinghuang, so he could only admit it with a dry smile.
…
In the following days, Huo Qinghuang devoted most of his energy to cultivation.
After instructing her family not to disturb her, she went straight into the room, waved her hand, brought out the jade bed made of a whole piece of imperial green glass jadeite, and sat cross-legged on it.
This jade bed has been nurtured in the cave for some time. Although the spiritual energy is not yet saturated, it can still be used for cultivation.
As soon as she sat down, spiritual energy gathered like a surging tide and was continuously absorbed into her body, tempering every inch of her meridians and bones.
She practiced the True Phoenix Body Refining Technique, and a strange light emanated from her body, sometimes as soft as moonlight, sometimes as hot as sunlight. After only two days of practice, she showed signs of breaking through.
“It really works!”
Huo Qinghuang was delighted and immediately put aside all distractions and tried his best to break through.
I don’t know how long it took, but in a trance, I heard a slight clicking sound in my body, and the barrier of the late foundation building stage was broken through.
In an instant, the divine blood in her body began to boil and circulate throughout her body, constantly improving her physical condition. It even condensed another drop of divine blood from her meridians, bones and blood. The two merged and became even stronger.
"Hmm, I didn't expect that breaking through the realm would have such benefits?"
Huo Qinghuang slowly opened his eyes and muttered to himself.
In the following days, she polished her foundation while trying to condense the divine blood again to completely change her physique.
Soon, the Ghost Festival on July 15th is coming.
As night falls, the whole world seems to be shrouded in a strange veil.
The streets were filled with a faint blue smoke, which was the paper money people burned to worship their ancestors and the dead.
According to custom, on the Ghost Festival, all ghosts come out of the underworld and come to the human world to enjoy offerings and seek a moment of freedom and joy.
But at the same time, those evil spirits who have accumulated countless resentments will take advantage of this chaos, become more violent, and wreak havoc in the world.
Huo Qinghuang stood in the courtyard of the manor, looking at the night sky shrouded in gloom, with a slightly playful smile on her lips: "Ghost Festival is a good time. Catching a few evil ghosts can not only change the taste, but also accumulate some merits."
She knew in her heart that the power of merit was extremely important to her. It could not only help her eliminate the black blood in her body, but also provide powerful support for her cultivation at critical moments.
After making up his mind, Huo Qinghuang changed into a light nightgown, and disappeared in the manor like a ghost.
She came to an alley that was said to be the most gloomy in the imperial capital. On weekdays, few people came here. On the night of Ghost Festival, it was terrifyingly quiet. Only the whistling sound of the wind echoed in the alley, like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
As soon as he stepped into the alley, Huo Qinghuang keenly sensed a strong yin energy.
Her eyes were as sharp as torches, searching for her target in the darkness.
Suddenly, a vague black shadow appeared not far ahead. In the shadow flashed a pair of blood-red eyes, revealing endless hatred and murderous intent, staring at her fiercely.
"Well, you have such fierce eyes, you must have done something bad, that's you."
Huo Qinghuang muttered to himself, casually took out a ghost-exorcising talisman and threw it out.
From the last time she killed the corpse puppet, she discovered that talismans were the most effective in dealing with these ghosts and spirits. Compared with her punching attacks, it was much easier and saved more spiritual energy than using magic weapons.
So she drew a lot of ghost-exorcising and soul-devouring talismans these days.
The evil ghost seemed to have noticed Huo Qinghuang's actions. It let out a sharp roar and pounced towards her.
