Mo Xie's face immediately darkened as she recalled some unpleasant memories.
"He is indeed a villain, but he is not dead yet!"
Fa Lan squatted on the ground, his right two fingers touching his head, and his left hand holding a small compass.
Mo Xie came to her senses and asked, "What do you mean by that, Daoist Master?"
Fa Lan stood up and said, "Humans have three souls and seven spirits. When mortals lose their physical bodies, their three souls and seven spirits dissipate and reincarnate."
"But if one is a Taoist practitioner, even if one loses their physical body, they will not die immediately."
She looked at the compass and said in a solemn tone, "Although this thief's physical body is decayed, his soul remains condensed and does not dissipate; there are even signs that it may be reuniting..."
"This reminds me of an evil technique recorded in ancient books... resurrection by possession of a corpse!"
"Resurrected from a corpse?! He's really hard to kill..." Mo Xie said through gritted teeth.
"I deeply admire your heartfelt desire to rid the world of evil, young master!"
Seeing that Mo Xie was seething with hatred, Fa Lan smiled slightly and continued, "This method of 'borrowing a corpse to return to life' involves planting a soul imprint on the bodies of ten people born in yin years, yin months, and yin hours."
"Then, choose one of them to be resurrected. Once the resurrection is successful, all ten people will die!"
Mo Xie asked, "After successfully reviving, will you be able to come back to life?"
If that's the case, then it's too incredible!
Fa Lan shook his head and said, "After a successful resurrection, the person will be a walking corpse for a period of time. Only after absorbing a large amount of human blood and yang energy can they truly be resurrected."
She nodded, her eyes bright, and said, "So as long as we find a place where a major bloodbath has occurred, we're sure to find the thief!"
After speaking, she turned to leave again.
Although he's a newbie, he definitely has some skill...
I need to cling to these powerful figures!
Mo Xie glanced subconsciously at the long legs beneath the skirt, then coughed lightly and said, "Fellow Daoist, please... cough cough, Daoist Master, please wait!"
Fa Lan turned around and asked, "What is it?"
Mo Xie patted Xiao Qian's back and pushed her away, "Taoist priest, take a look at my guard, what caused his death?"
Fa Lan looked at Wang Er's corpse and immediately saw the truth: "He was under a ghost curse."
"A ghost curse?"
“Some powerful evil spirits will cast curses on their killers when they are dying. Those cursed will suffer curses of varying degrees. The mildest curses are bad luck and ghostly encounters, while the most severe curses... just like your guard, will result in a sudden death.”
Are there any preventative measures in place?
"...almost none."
Mo Xie nodded gravely. "I understand."
"In that case, I'll take my leave." Fa Lan turned to leave again.
"Please wait a moment!"
Fa Lan turned around, her beautiful, delicate eyebrows furrowing. "Is there anything else?"
Mo Xie cupped his hands and said, "I am not very talented, but I do have some skills. I would like to travel with you, fellow Daoist."
Without any real skill, trying to capture the protagonist in this vast world is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Although this Taoist nun is young and naive, she is quite skilled, and following her will likely make things much easier.
Moreover,
I was saving her in a way.
after all,
The protagonist is the protagonist... not someone anyone can kill!
Fa Lan shook her head and said, "Our sect has strict rules that prevent us from traveling with men."
"Wait a minute!"
Mo Xie stepped forward and said righteously, "Fellow Daoist, you're being too attached to appearances again!"
"Hmm?" Fa Lan frowned and looked at Mo Xie quietly.
Does "acting on behalf of Heaven distinguish between men and women"?
"Not distinguishable."
Is there a gender distinction when it comes to doing good deeds?
"...and not even that."
"Fellow Daoist is indeed insightful! If we are always wary of the differences between men and women, then what's the point of chivalry and upholding justice? Fa Lan, don't you agree?"
Fa Lan was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Not bad..."
"That's more like it!" Mo Xie clapped his hands and laughed, helping Wang Er up. "Wait for me a moment, I'll bury them before we set off."
Fa Lan's beautiful, delicate eyebrows furrowed deeply, as if something was amiss.
Xiaoqian pouted as she looked at the young master, who was grinning mischievously.
Mo Xie struggled to help Wang Er up, and said irritably, "Stop looking, come and lend a hand!"
"By the way, Fa Lan, do you know how to perform rituals to help the souls of the dead find peace?"
Mo Xie's words interrupted Fa Lan's thoughts, and she nodded subconsciously, "I know a little."
"It's time to uphold justice. Please perform a ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife."
"Hmm? Oh..."
...
The first light of dawn.
A cunning person
Ghosts with tragic fates
The naive and inexperienced Taoist nun
He embarked on this journey through the martial world.
From morning till night,
As dusk fell, they arrived at a small town.
"They're all dead! Everyone in Majia Village is dead, and the sight of their deaths is horrific!"
A street thug came running from outside the city, howling.
Mo Xie and Fa Lan exchanged a glance, their eyes both sharpening...
...
P.S. Goodnight everyone~
