Yuan Qingling turned the jade pendant upside down and tried to put the box Ai Fengling had given her into it, only to find that there was already a small box inside.
After thinking about it, Yuan Qingling decided to replace the small box.
Just as the original box was brought out, the jade pendant suddenly dimmed.
The dimming of the longevity plaque signifies a person's life or death; the breaking of the jade plaque signifies the end of a person's life.
A snapping sound came from his palm. He panicked a little, unsure of the outcome, and quickly stuffed a new box inside. Fortunately, the jade pendant lit up again, but the crack remained.
"What exactly is in this box?" The artifacts made by artifact craftsmen are so exquisite that even fellow craftsmen might not be able to discern their secrets, let alone someone who knows nothing about them.
He hurriedly put the box away and rushed out of the Burning Heaven Gate. As he was leaving, he suddenly noticed a hair in front of the door and realized that he had made a big mistake.
"Let's go!" A voice rang in his ears, "Uncle Shan, Master Shan."
"Okay, I'll handle it."
"Oh, okay, sure." Yuan Qingling returned to Lingxiao Peak in a daze. Ai Fengling was waiting for him in front of the mountain gate. "Come and help me push it."
"Okay, okay."
"There's another box under Master's longevity tablet. Uncle-Master, what is this?" He handed the box to Ai Fengling. "Grand Master said that my Master prolongs his life. I saw a crack on the longevity tablet earlier. It must have been broken before. My Master died, right?"
"Yes, you died to save me."
"Then..." He suddenly fell silent.
Continuing to ask would be disrespectful to Ai Fengling, because he is a victim and may not have been able to get over it yet. Not asking would make me feel quite uncomfortable.
"What do you want to ask?" Ai Fengling seemed to sense his hesitation and answered her own question, "Why do people who have died come back to life?"
"yes."
"I can't answer you, because I want to know the answer too."
Yuan Qingling: "The answer lies in those four places that my martial uncle mentioned?"
"Yes, find those four places." He stared into his eyes and repeatedly instructed, "Jinwu can go in, but you must never go in."
"Why?"
“Because of you…” He looked Yuan Qingling up and down, “you have become a scoundrel. A scoundrel must submit to his master. The Golden Crow is a creature of extreme yang, so it can have very little influence on you. But you… you have too much blood on your hands. Once you go, you will never come back.”
"Crippled man, are you telling the truth?" Jinwu patted his arm. It wasn't cold because of the feathers covering it, but for some reason, his heart felt a little cold.
"One last question, Uncle-Master, was the question really directed at God?" He didn't mention that he had seen three groups of people at the Burning Heaven Sect, and that the last one was Uncle-Master Shan. He even helped himself to disguise himself.
"I don't know, so I have to verify it."
What good will it do to find out?
"You're being naughty." Ai Fengling wasn't angry; instead, she smiled, a smile filled with relief. "Asking will put my mind at ease. Let's set off tomorrow morning. I heard from Senior Brother Fan that those people are all better now; you can all serve as their guards!"
"good."
No one could have imagined that the departure the following morning would be so unsuccessful.
A demon-subduing order quickly spread throughout the entire Xuanmen sect. This was a special method of communication that could establish contact with all Xuanmen sects in a short time, similar to video calls in later generations or the communication of war between countries in this world.
During this period, all major sects, not just the Xuan Yun Sect, were more or less troubled by the demons.
There was a sect called Deep Water Bay, which actually sank to the bottom of the sea, supposedly by the demons.
There was another sect called Firewave Island, which was destroyed in a great fire, also by the demons.
These are the names of two reputable sects. Although they have declined compared to the major sects of today, their ability to use the Demon Subduing Token still indicates that they hold a place in the Xuanmen (Taoist world).
Other sects that suffered similar damage include the Zhu Lu Sect, Lei Yun Sect, Qing He Mountain, and Zhan Yue Sect...
The demons have been quite rampant lately, but the Xuan Yun Sect has been less affected because those demon cultivators were not exposed within the sect, but rather on Wan Zhang Peak, and were all tortured to death by Wen Jinge without exception.
Aside from Wen Jingge's disciples, only Fan Zifan knew about this, but out of his desire for demon blood, he would not choose to reveal the truth.
"The Demon-Subduing Decree." Yuan Qingling sat on the threshold, staring in astonishment at the piece of paper in her hand.
When he was the leader of the Lanyue Sword Sect, the kites he sent out returned to tell him that they were gone.
Last night he was listening to Shan Hongxing talk about the Demon Clan in front of the Burning Heaven Gate, and he was also listening to Ai Fengling talk about asking the gods on Lingxiao Peak. Today he received news that the Demon Clan had come down the mountain. They must be clearing obstacles for that Demon Lord!
"What are you thinking about?" Ai Fengling didn't attend the meeting. He sat in his wheelchair, gazing at the distant mountain scenery. He was usually the one who seemed indifferent to everything.
"Yes, it feels so sudden." Yuan Qingling smiled bitterly. "Uncle-Master, what comes after the Demon-Subduing Order?"
Yuan Qingling is not yet seventy years old, and compared to the elderly Ai Fengling, she is still unfamiliar with the procedures.
"I guess they're calling your master back!"
"Um?"
"We need to select a group of capable disciples as the vanguard. Most of them will be tested, it just depends on where the test will be conducted. Xuan Yun Sect is not suitable as a testing ground. If it weren't for your master's intervention in the Wuxiang Illusionary Realm, you new disciples would probably have died there."
"Xuanyun Sect was once an ancient battlefield of the war between demons and gods. Blood can suppress the evil aura of this place, but it can also become nourishment for their growth. Who knows what strange things might awaken."
“That’s how you became younger, which is why I said you can’t go to those places. Because those are miracles, and that god is also called the Lord of the Rivers. If you go, you will only become her most loyal servant, turning into a mindless monster.”
"Is that so..."
"yes."
"Is Master's resurrection related to Mang?"
"have."
"If Master were to leave..."
"Senior sister will not be affected."
"Why?"
"Back then, she begged that scoundrel to save my life. I survived, and just when her life was about to be taken by the scoundrel, she killed him." For a moment, he seemed to have returned to the past, and his voice slowed down considerably. "After that, my senior sister was like a different person. Her humanity disappeared at that time, or rather, she became a new scoundrel."
“But Master…” At least, in Yuan Qingling’s eyes, Wen Jingge was quite human. “Master isn’t like this!”
"For those fifty years, no one knew what Senior Sister was doing on the mountain. Even Liang Si was brought back by Master and forced upon Senior Sister to learn. Back then, it seemed like Senior Sister was pursuing something." A meaningful smile appeared on his lips. "So, who is Senior Sister now?"
