Chapter 139: Saving Souls



Here's the thing.

That day, when Xu Sheng was having dinner at a restaurant in the city, he heard a few diners nearby talking about the country and the past while eating and drinking.

It seems like there is nothing they don't know.

They also talked about the founding emperor Xu Longsheng and the imperial teacher Yun Ling.

Then he went on to say that cultivating immortals was simply a delusion!

Look at how powerful the national teacher Yun Ling was back then?

Hasn't it disappeared without a trace now? Decayed over the years?

The so-called immortality does not exist at all!

Xu Sheng had no intention of refutation of such remarks.

It is normal for ordinary people to have such discussions.

Xu Sheng also felt a little complicated about becoming what others called a historical figure.

He had never imagined that he would have such an experience before traveling through time.

However, he did not expect that at this moment, a young man at another table suddenly slammed the table and retorted that it was the national master Yun Ling who had not decayed in the long river of time.

It is said that the National Master is a real living fairy!

It is said that the Imperial Master has already transcended the mundane world!

You guys know shit!

He said that he had seen the divine appearance of the Imperial Master with his own eyes a few days ago!

It is said that after so many years, the Imperial Master is still as young as a young girl, with fair skin and beautiful looks, absolutely stunning!

The boy spoke with conviction and had a red face and thick neck, just like a star-chasing boy on Earth who was arguing with the haters for his favorite female idol!

Xu Sheng turned to look at the young man in astonishment.

Others were still doubting whether what the young man said was true or not, but Xu Sheng had seen with his own eyes that the "Master of the State" was still alive.

"Could it be that this young man really had seen the little nun a few days ago?" Xu Sheng couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

At this time, the diners around were pointed at and scolded by the young man, and they were very unconvinced and said that the young man was bragging!

Even if the Imperial Master were still alive, how could you possibly see him?

Tell me what evidence you have?

The young man continued to refute that he was a member of the Zhenbei Palace, his grandfather and his father both worked in the Zhenbei Palace, so he was able to work in the Zhenbei Palace.

And he saw with his own eyes that the National Master Yun Ling appeared in the Zhenbei Palace a few days ago!

The young man's words shocked everyone.

Of course, National Master Yun Ling lived more than two hundred years ago.

The diners present still found it unbelievable.

Many people still questioned that the young man was talking nonsense.

The young fan of Yun Ling wanted to continue to refute, but at this time a middle-aged man who was traveling with him came back.

The latter scolded the former in a low voice.

The former may also realize that they shouldn't say these words.

After he shut up, he was taken away by the middle-aged man and others.

Xu Sheng also went downstairs and followed them quietly.

At night, Xu Sheng changed his clothes and sneaked into the boy's room and interrogated him with a knife.

Later, Xu Sheng learned the general situation of the matter.

According to what the young man said, the eldest daughter of the Zhenbei Palace was suffering from a strange disease, and many doctors said it was incurable after examining her.

At this time, the stunningly beautiful and fairy-like national teacher 'Yun Ling' appeared wearing the same Taoist robe as she did more than two hundred years ago.

The young servant was immediately impressed by the grace and elegance of Fairy Yun Ling.

I almost drooled.

But he was just a family slave, so naturally he didn't dare to have any delusions.

Then the national teacher Yun Ling said that the young lady of the palace was haunted by a demon, and then used his magic power to directly capture the female ghost who was entangled with the daughter of the Zhenbei King.

Moreover, 'Yun Ling' also showed the token that Xu Longsheng, the founding emperor of Daxu, bestowed on the 'national teacher'.

Seeing this, Prince Zhenbei knelt down directly.

After understanding the situation, Xu Sheng knocked the boy unconscious and left.

The little nun actually acted alone and appeared in the Zhenbei Palace? What was she trying to do?

Xu Sheng couldn't help but think at this time.

Could it be that this fake Bodhisattva Guanyin wants to use the King of Zhenbei to do something?

But this fake Bodhisattva Guanyin couldn't show up himself, so he arranged this?

First, let the most beloved daughter of Zhenbei Palace be haunted by evil spirits.

Then let Yun Ling, who is the national teacher, come forward?

After witnessing Yun Ling's magical powers, he also saw the token that Xu Longsheng bestowed on the national teacher.

If some requests are made within one's ability at this time, Prince Zhenbei will naturally choose to obey.

"It seems that we have to go to the Zhenbei Palace."

Xu Sheng immediately said in his heart.

At this time, Xu Sheng was located in the northern part of the Daxu territory, only a day or two away from the Zhenbei Palace.

The fan boy had come to this city to purchase supplies for the Zhenbei Palace.

In short, after learning about this situation.

Xu Sheng used his internal energy from martial arts to run wildly.

A few hours later, Xu Sheng arrived outside the Zhenbei Palace.

However, at this time, both the fake Guanyin Bodhisattva and the little Taoist nun Yun Ling were gone.

Of course they couldn't just stay there and wait for Xu Sheng to come.

This was also within Xu Sheng's expectations.

That fake Bodhisattva Guanyin's whereabouts are always elusive!

Xu Sheng felt that there must be a reason for this.

Maybe she was also hiding from the terrifying existence that had ascended? So she didn't dare to reveal her whereabouts? That's why she has become such a mysterious figure that can only be seen from the head but not the tail?

Of course, there are no answers to these speculations for the time being.

Afterwards, Xu Sheng wandered around the Zhenbei Palace to gather information.

Fifteen days later, Xu Sheng finally found out some information.

He discovered that after Yun Ling left, people in the Zhenbei Palace began searching for something that looked like a small tripod.

The Zhenbei Palace has the largest antique industry across the country.

Therefore, it is understandable that they would choose to use the help of King Zhenbei to investigate.

Of course Xu Sheng also got the picture of the tripod.

"Could this thing be a magical weapon?"

Xu Sheng looked at the picture in his hand and pondered: "This magic weapon has spread to the people? And there is no way to sense and find it with magic power? Can only use primitive methods to search? So this fake Guanyin Bodhisattva sent 'Yun Ling' to perform such a show?"

As he thought about it, Xu Sheng slapped his hand on the table: "This may be a chance for me!"

Then Xu Sheng took action.

He first disguised himself and found a famous counterfeiter, and paid him money to make him a few fake small tripods that were exactly the same as the ones in the picture.

Then Xu Sheng contacted the people in Zhenbei Palace who were looking for this small tripod.

But I didn't go directly to them to sell this small tripod.

After all, many people must have known that the Zhenbei Palace was looking for this thing.

I guess there are some daring people who want to make counterfeits to cheat people out of money.

What Xu Sheng has in his hand now is also fake, so if he sells it directly, it will definitely be seen through.

Therefore, Xu Sheng simply appeared in front of them, and then accidentally revealed in his conversation that he was a hermit Taoist priest practicing in the mountains somewhere.

He said that he had the small tripod they were looking for, which he had obtained by accident before.

But he has no intention of selling it at all, he just wants to reveal that he has it!

It wasn't long before people from the Zhenbei Palace wanted to buy it.

But Xu Sheng naturally said that he would not sell it no matter how much money was offered.

Then he went straight into the mountains.

The troops from the Zhenbei Palace wanted to intercept and rob.

But Xu Sheng had disappeared directly into the mountains.

"The bait has been put down. Now it all depends on whether the fish will bite the hook." Xu Sheng thought to himself as he watched the people from Zhenbei Palace unable to find his departing figure.

After that, Xu Sheng just waited patiently.

Xu Sheng didn't have to wait too long.

Just three days later.

Xu Sheng saw Yun Ling's figure appear in the mountain.

"Fairy!"

Xu Sheng was also a little excited and said to himself: "I didn't expect that it would actually come here."

In this way, he might be able to rescue the little nun first.

And he doesn't have to wait until the day when he is strong enough to kill the fake Guanyin Bodhisattva to rescue her.

After all, Xu Sheng's Yang God Soul now has reached thirty-six.

His magic power is relatively strong.

He is no match for the powerful existence like the fake Guanyin Bodhisattva.

But facing most of the ordinary monks in this world, they are completely crushed.

However, Xu Sheng still did not show up casually at this time.

Because he didn't know whether the fake Bodhisattva Guanyin came with 'Yun Ling'.

Therefore, Xu Sheng just hid himself and observed silently.

At this time, 'Yun Ling' was searching everywhere in the mountain for the Taoist priest played by Xu Sheng before.

Three full days passed.

Xu Sheng didn't show up.

Afterwards, Xu Sheng saw a figure in white descending from the white clouds.

It turned out to be that fake Guanyin Bodhisattva!

"She actually followed me."

Seeing this, Xu Sheng couldn't help but said in awe: "It's just hiding in the dark!"

If he hadn't been careful and showed up earlier, he would have been captured on the spot by this fake Guanyin Bodhisattva.

After that, Xu Sheng of course continued to keep his troops in place.

The fake Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara and 'Yun Ling' searched the mountain again.

But Xu Sheng's concealment methods are naturally still very good.

It is especially difficult to detect him when he is not taking any action at all.

Finally, Bodhisattva Guanyin and Yunling both left in disappointment after a few days.

Xu Sheng did not pursue this.

He is not in a hurry.

Since this fake Bodhisattva Guanyin was willing to come in person and spent a lot of time searching here, it means that this small tripod should be a very important treasure.

After they left.

Xu Sheng stayed in the mountains for a few more days before leaving.

He appeared as the Taoist priest he had played before, letting people know that this Taoist priest really existed, but no one had found him before.

Then Xu Sheng fled into the mountains again before the King of Zhenbei's men arrived.

Then he waited silently in the mountains.

Sure enough, a few days later.

The figure of 'Yun Ling' appeared in the mountain again.

She continued searching.

He even shouted:

He said he was willing to exchange his treasure for this magic weapon.

He said that this small tripod was left by his ancestors and was of great commemorative significance, so he wanted to take it back.

Ask fellow Taoists to help me.

Of course Xu Sheng wouldn't believe this.

He had long known that there were no practitioners among the little nun's ancestors.

However, after listening to these words, Xu Sheng became more certain that this small tripod was a very important treasure.

It’s a pity that the real small tripod is not in Xu Sheng’s hands.

Do this several times.

Xu Sheng stayed like this for a few more days.

Finally one day, Xu Sheng felt that the fake Guanyin Bodhisattva should not have followed him.

"I want this magic weapon!"

He then used his pure Yang soul to enter the flying sword, controlled the flying sword and appeared out, and a voice rang out from it: "Just follow me."

He flew wildly with his flying sword.

And 'Yun Ling' behind him was also chasing quickly after the flying sword.

After walking around for a while, I found that the fake Guanyin Bodhisattva still did not appear.

Xu Sheng was relieved.

It seems that she should be doing other things.

And 'Yun Ling' is also very fast.

At this time, she had caught up with Xu Sheng's flying sword and used her magic power to imprison Xu Sheng's flying sword in the air.

Of course, Xu Sheng also appeared wearing a mask at this time.

As soon as he appeared, he used five flying swords to swarm over and kill them. With the whistling sword shadows, he rescued his imprisoned flying sword.

At the same time, Xu Sheng's other twelve flying swords had been quietly lurking in the surrounding bushes, slowly approaching the 'Yun Ling' on the opposite side.

However, because he was afraid of being noticed by her, he moved very slowly.

The remaining six flying swords were hidden in the grass around him to protect him.

"You want to buy my magic weapon?"

At this time, Xu Sheng glanced at Yun Ling and asked, "What do you want to exchange with me?"

"You are a sword cultivator. I have a book on flying sword formations and ten top-grade flying swords."

Yun Ling took out the jade slip and the flying sword and said, "How about I exchange these things with you?"

Xu Sheng's eyes lit up.

But still hesitate.

"But wait, why do you, why do you look so...?"

Then he immediately pretended to have just recognized Yun Ling and said, "I've seen your portrait! Could it be that you are Yun Ling, the imperial teacher who served the founding emperor Xu Longsheng?"

"Do you recognize me?"

Hearing this, Yun Ling smiled slightly, nodded and sighed: "Yes, I am Yun Ling. However, that was my identity in the secular world more than two hundred years ago."

Xu Sheng still remained skeptical.

Because he always felt that the tone of voice of the current 'Yun Ling' when speaking was slightly different from that of Yun Ling back then.

He must test 'Yun Ling'.

Only then can we confirm whether 'Yun Ling' is the little Taoist nun from before.

You can decide whether to use ruthless force when you take action later.

In addition, he also had to say something to delay time so that his flying sword could approach her silently.

Only then can the most advantageous attack effect be achieved.

"I didn't expect it to be the Imperial Master Yun Ling in person."

Xu Sheng then said, "Legend has it that the Imperial Master is extremely intelligent and wise, and is the right-hand man of the founding emperor Xu Longsheng. I have always had some questions that I want to ask the Imperial Master. How about this, Imperial Master, if you are willing to answer these questions, I will agree to trade with you. What do you think? Otherwise, let's call it quits today."

"What's the problem?"

Hearing this, Yun Ling was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, then ask."

"good."

Xu Sheng also nodded and said, "Then listen carefully. - There are three wolves on the mountain. A hunter shoots one to death. How many are left?"

"What? What's your problem?"

Yun Ling was surprised. She thought Xu Sheng was going to ask some questions about cultivation. Of course, she thought about it for a while and answered, "Two!"

"wrong."

But Xu Sheng immediately said, "One. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

Yun Ling asked in confusion: "Three minus one, isn't that two?"

"Because one of them was killed."

Xu Sheng said: "Of course the other two ran away in fear. They are not fools. Only a fool would think that they would stay there and wait to be killed."

"..." Yun Ling was speechless.

"I'll give you one more chance."

At this time, Xu Sheng spoke again: "Listen carefully, the question is: What is the relationship between your father's brother's cousin's cousin's mother and your uncle's son's father's son's sister-in-law's grandmother's sister's grandson's brother?"

"???" Yun Ling was dumbfounded.

"Stupid!" Xu Sheng said: "Of course they are relatives!"

"..." Yun Ling was speechless.

"I'll ask you again!"

Xu Sheng then asked: "A great monk and a butcher died at the same time. Why did the butcher become a Buddha before the great monk?"

“???” Yun Ling thought hard.

"Stupid!" Xu Sheng said, "Because - put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha! As a Buddhist, you have never heard of this sentence? You, a Buddhist disciple, have failed."

"???" Yun Ling was speechless.

Of course, she immediately looked cold and asked, "Is it fun to tease me?"

"die!"

As she said this, she took action.

Obviously she had already realized that she had been tricked by Xu Sheng.

But she was just pretending to move forward to create time for her attack.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!"

In an instant, Buddhist seals suddenly appeared out of thin air around Xu Sheng, spinning at high speed and rushing towards Xu Sheng fiercely and madly.

"Flying sword, block!"

Of course, Xu Sheng also immediately raised his eyelids at this time.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!"

In an instant, six flying swords hidden around his body appeared and blocked the Buddha seals that were coming to kill him!

In fact, after asking the second question just now, Xu Sheng was already completely certain that the little nun's body at this moment was not controlled by her original consciousness at all.

Because Xu Sheng had used these brain teasers to joke with the little nun when they were together before.

Forgetting one is acceptable.

Don't forget two.

Forgetting three is even more impossible!

So is the original little nun still alive?

Although Xu Sheng seemed to be laughing on the surface just now, he felt very uncomfortable and heavy in his heart.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!"

The collision between the Buddhist seal and the flying sword made a dull sound.

"kill!"

Then Xu Sheng changed his hand seal to strengthen the connection between his mind and the flying swords. In an instant, the thirteen flying swords that had been lurking beside Yun Ling just now all rose into the air, whistling and swarming towards Yun Ling.

"not good!"

At this time, Yun Ling's face changed, her body shook, and the Buddha's light rippled around her. Shadows of arms appeared on her body, as if she was possessed by the Thousand-Armed Guanyin.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM…!”

He blocked the attacks of Xu Sheng's thirteen flying swords one after another.

"How is it possible? Your magic power is so strong?"

At this moment, Yun Ling in front of him was very surprised. She tried to run away while blocking the flying sword.

Because in the world of cultivation, people like Xuan Zhen who have sixteen pure yang souls are already considered strong.

After all, 'Yun Ling' is just a follower of the fake Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The fake Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't give her much power at all.

"The Great Gluttony Technique!"

At this moment, Xu Sheng roared in his heart again.

He unleashed all of his internal energy to become a Half-Step Martial Saint.

As the flying sword whistled and attacked, his body suddenly rushed forward and approached "Yun Ling".

The fist was struck forward with the inner strength of a half-step martial saint, breaking through some of Yun Ling's magical defenses!

Open your palm!

The terrifying, magic-like martial arts technique obtained from Zhang Daoling has already started to work.

The magical powers of the remaining twelve pure yang souls instantly gathered together in the sea of ​​consciousness and took the form of a glutton!

The figure of the ancient ferocious beast Taotie appears!

It opened its bloody mouth, and its mouth seemed to contain black holes that seemed to be able to swallow everything in the world!

The atmosphere in the sea of ​​consciousness changed drastically in an instant!

And outside the sea of ​​consciousness!

The shadow of a glutton also instantly appeared on Xu Sheng.

Wherever Xu Sheng's hand touched, a mysterious and terrifying suction force suddenly emanated, like the bloody mouth of a gluttonous beast, which instantly sucked in the magic power of the 'Yun Ling' in front of it.

This 'Yun Ling' should also be a provider of food for the fake Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva!

Because the magic power in them is very pure.

It's not complicated.

It is the best food for the Great Taotie Technique!

"What kind of skill is this?"

At this moment, Yun Ling in front of him also changed his expression again, and said in horror: "You are also a demon cultivator??!!"

At this time, Xu Sheng's twenty-four flying swords were still attacking her frantically.

It was simply impossible for her to deal with the flying sword while resisting the absorption of the terrifying Great Taotie Technique.

After all, she is not a real little Taoist nun who "possesses the magical power of seventy-seven forty-nine Yang God souls"!

So at this moment she was no match for Xu Sheng, who now possessed thirty-six pure yang souls and powerful gluttonous skills.

Although 'Yun Ling' was still trying her best to resist.

But it was of no use, and soon she could no longer hold back.

The magic power is getting weaker and weaker as Xu Sheng absorbs it!

After Xu Sheng inhaled for a while, the flying sword stopped attacking.

After all, Xu Sheng didn't want to hurt the little nun's body.

Of course, the twenty-four flying swords are still suspended around Yun Ling!

Be on guard against her unexpected counterattack!

But in the end, no other accidents happened.

The magic power of this 'Yun Ling' was completely sucked away by Xu Sheng's great gluttony technique!

The souls of twenty unfamiliar women were sucked into Xu Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness, and were all swallowed up by the ferocious Taotie inside.

Then Xu Sheng sheathed all his flying swords.

Afterwards, the pure yang souls returned to the sea of ​​consciousness one by one!

Of course, the little nun's body had become soft at this time.

Because he lost consciousness!

In order to prevent the little nun's body from dying, Xu Sheng flew out one of his pure yang souls and entered the little nun's body, temporarily dominating the little nun's body to prevent her from dying.

At the same time, Xu Sheng's other pure yang souls returned to his sea of ​​​​consciousness.

One by one, they gathered into the soul origin of the Taotie's body.

Suddenly, the body of this glutton became several times larger!

"Ahhhh!" The soul with the strange woman's face screamed continuously in the gluttony.

"Refine!" Xu Sheng continued to practice the Great Taotie Technique.

After some time.

The strange woman's spirit was reduced to a weak ghost.

The rest were refined by Xu Sheng.

While digesting these powers, Xu Sheng also felt that the power in his soul had become less pure, and some of them were conflicting with each other.

After all, it is the magic power cultivated by others.

"Get out of here first!"

Then Xu Sheng took the little nun's body and quickly left the battlefield.

Then sit cross-legged in a safe place.

Afterwards, he closed his eyes and practiced the digestive part of the Great Taotie Technique.

Suddenly, the blood and energy of the extremely yang body surged up into the sea of ​​consciousness and violently suppressed the abnormal movements of these external forces in Taotie's body.

After practicing like this for three months.

Finally everything was completely digested!

At this time, Xu Sheng's cultivation had been improved again.

Xu Sheng dispersed the Taotie.

It once again transformed into a huge divine soul.

Then Xu Sheng divided his soul and thoughts into parts.

He discovered that the number of his Yang Shen souls had reached forty-six!

It's increased by ten as much!

It can be said that there has been a great improvement in strength!

"This great gluttony technique!"

Xu Sheng couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart at this time: "It's really terrifying."

Then Xu Sheng immediately brought the strange woman, who was only a weak ghost left, to his front.

"Who are you?"

His magical power condensed into a claw that grabbed the throat of the strange woman's ghost. He asked sternly, "Why are you the one controlling this body? Where is the original owner of this body? Tell me! Otherwise, I will turn you into ashes!!!"

"Have mercy, have mercy."

The strange woman's spirit also begged for mercy: "I was also forced..."

Then she began to tell the story.

It turned out that she was a female demon who was deceived by the fake Guanyin Bodhisattva and practiced the Buddhist teachings he taught, and was thus controlled by him.

But the owner of the body she used was not dead!

He simply had to abandon his physical body and escape.

This fake Bodhisattva Guanyin was reluctant to kill the little nun's physical body directly.

After all, the nun's body is a body of top-grade spiritual roots, and she has been practicing for so many years, especially practicing the Great Pure Land Sutra with Xu Sheng for many years and being nourished by the dragon blood.

It brings about a qualitative improvement in the physical body!

In short, this body has become of very high quality!

Using it to practice will speed up your practice a lot.

So this fake Bodhisattva Guanyin put the spirit and soul of the demon girl that he controlled into the body of a young nun, allowing her to act and practice with the body of the young nun, and after a period of time, the demon girl would provide the pure yang soul for him to devour.

This fake Bodhisattva Guanyin only eats the souls of those who have achieved success in cultivation.

She is cruel though.

But they do not eat the flesh.

So the little nun's body was preserved in this way.

This banshee has been using it all along.

Usually, it is used for cultivation and to serve as a lackey for the fake Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Apart from that, nothing else special was done.

"So, the little nun is not dead?"

Xu Sheng was also happy when he heard this.

Although we have not been able to save the little nun completely.

But at least her body has been saved now.

After that, as long as her soul is recovered and her body is returned to her, the little nun will be able to completely return to her original state.

I just don't know how the little nun escaped?

After all, that fake Guanyin Bodhisattva is so powerful!

Of course, Xu Sheng immediately asked this question to the soul of the banshee in front of him.

At the same time he continued to ask:

"Where did she escape to? Where is she now? Do you know?"
