"So that's how it is. Was this ball of merit light specially sent down by heaven and earth in memory of me for killing that foreign demon general and saving hundreds of thousands of people in the provincial capital city?"
After some exploration in the space between the eyebrows, Lu Qing understood the origin of this ball of merit light.
It turned out that it was because he killed the demon cultivator and averted the disaster of blood sacrifice for the people in the entire provincial capital city.
Therefore, heaven and earth were moved and bestowed merits.
"But how should we use this light of merit?"
Looking at the light of merit in front of him, Lu Qing felt a little troubled.
The merits he gained this time were even more profound than those from his master.
But he didn't know how to use the light of merit at all.
Whether in the inheritance of the Lihuo Sect or the Shenfu Sect, there are no secret techniques related to the light of merit.
Lu Qing thought about it for a moment and withdrew his mind from the eyebrow acupoint.
"Senior Yan, do you know how to use the light of merit?"
"That golden light just now, was it the light of merit?"
"Yan" was startled at first, but then he reacted: "That's right, you saved the lives of the people of the entire prefecture this time. It's normal for the heaven and earth to feel it and bestow merit upon you."
"From what you said, senior, this heaven-sent merit is not a special case?" Lu Qing asked.
“Although it’s not a common occurrence, in the ancient times of cultivating immortals, heavenly blessings were not too rare.
Do you know why the orthodox sects in the world of cultivation have always emphasized that good and evil cannot coexist and that they must slay demons and eliminate evil?
One of the big reasons is that slaying demons and eliminating evil will make it easier to gain the favor of heaven and make the path of cultivation smoother.
It would be even more incredible if one could obtain the light of merit from heaven and earth.
Practitioners who are protected by the light of merit will have fewer obstacles on their path of practice.
Even if he passes the tribulation of golden elixir and primordial spirit in the future, the thunder tribulation will be much smaller than that of other cultivators. "
"Yan" talked eloquently and revealed some secrets about the light of merit.
"The light of merit can actually have the magical effect of resisting thunder tribulation?" Lu Qing was really surprised this time.
"Do you think there are so many righteous monks who are willing to risk their lives and shout about slaying demons and eliminating evil every day?
Young master, practitioners are the most ruthless, especially the old antiques who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years, who are the most precious in their lives.
He is not willing to get into trouble easily, so how could he risk fighting with the devil for a few mortals?
It is because it is profitable and helpful to one’s own practice.”
Lu Qing had some understanding.
He knew that Yan was right.
The purpose of a monk's practice is to break through himself and fight for life against heaven.
It is no exaggeration to say that he values life the most, so how could he easily take risks for ordinary people?
Only the temptation of heaven-sent merit can make them so eager to slay demons and eliminate evil.
"Then Senior Yan, how should we use this light of merit?"
"I don't know that either."
"Yan" shook his head and said: "The light of merit is extremely mysterious. In the ancient times of cultivating immortals, there were only a few people who could perform great merits and receive the light of merit from heaven and earth.
I have only heard that the light of merit has miraculous effects when one is overcoming the tribulation, and can effectively reduce the power of the tribulation.
This is also the reason why in the ancient times of cultivating immortals, all powerful cultivators who were about to transcend tribulation would choose to experience the mortal world for a period of time and do good deeds to accumulate virtue.
Besides this, I don't know what other uses it has.
In the past, I have never seen anyone in the Lihuo Sect who could obtain the Light of Merit. "
Speaking of this, "Yan" couldn't help but sigh again at Lu Qing's great fortune.
The light of merit is a very magical thing.
In the ancient era of cultivating immortals, even those powerful beings who had already stood at the top of the cultivation world attached great importance to it.
However, it is not easy to obtain the light of merit, and the way of heaven seems to have its own set of judgment criteria.
It is not possible to obtain it by simply doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.
Unexpectedly, this time, Lu Qing would be blessed with the light of merit from heaven and earth just by killing a demon cultivator who was not even in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
If the powerful practitioners in ancient times knew this, they would probably be so envious that their eyes would turn green.
"Even you, Senior, don't know..."
Lu Qing shook his head.
Even the old antique "Yan" doesn't know how to use the light of merit, so it seems that he can only leave it in the acupoint between the eyebrows for now.
Anyway, he could feel that the light of merit did not do him any harm.
On the contrary, he also felt that under the illumination of the light of merit, the entire space between his eyebrows became peaceful.
Bathed in it, one can even feel the power of the soul slowly growing.
In that case, he simply ignored it for the time being.
"Mr. Lu, are you okay?"
Just as Lu Qing was thinking, a call came into his ears.
However, Wei Xinghe saw him standing there in meditation and was worried whether he was injured in the previous battle, so he asked with concern.
As for the mayor of the provincial capital and others, after witnessing Lu Qing's terrifying strength, they were extremely in awe of him.
How dare I disturb him?
Even if Lu Qing was standing there in a daze, they didn't dare to show any disrespect.
"It's okay, I was just thinking about something." Lu Qing came back to his senses and said with a smile, "By the way, Master Wei, have you found Zihao?"
"By the way, Zihao!"
Wei Xinghe finally reacted and quickly used his mind to sense it.
But soon, his expression changed drastically: "Oh no, Zihao is missing!"
"What's going on, Master Wei?"
Seeing this, Lu Qing immediately asked.
When he contacted Wei Xinghe with the Breath-Suppressing Talisman before, he did not mention any information about Wei Zihao.
"Mr. Lu, Zihao was controlled by that evil cultivator with evil magic before, and he seems to have become a different person..."
Wei Xinghe quickly recounted Wei Zihao's story, emphasizing the fact that his temperament had changed drastically.
"Before the formation disappeared, Zihao was still in the city, but now I can't sense his presence."
Wei Xinghe looked anxious.
He had a premonition that if Wei Zihao left secretly, he would never be able to find his eldest son again.
"There are black runes on the body, and the temperament has changed drastically..."
Lu Qing thought of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion disciples who had been suppressed to the ground by him before.
It’s just that those people were seriously injured by me and are now lying there unable to move.
"Master Wei, don't worry, let me check it out."
Lu Qing freed his mind and sensed the situation in the city.
His spiritual power is much stronger than Wei Xinghe's.
The range that can be sensed is far beyond what Wei Xinghe can compare to.
Because, with Lu Qing's full strength of sensing, he soon discovered that there was a secret aura hidden in a certain location.
Lu Qing smiled: "Master Wei, I think I found the location."
Then, in Wei Xinghe's surprised gaze, his figure disappeared.
Soon, everyone felt that a strange aura suddenly erupted in a street in the city.
But it only broke out for a moment before being suppressed again.
Then, after a few breaths, Lu Qing appeared in front of everyone again.
There was a person in his hand, and Wei Xinghe took a look and knew who else it could be but Wei Zihao.
However, at this moment, Wei Zihao's eyes were closed, he was unconscious, and had fallen into a coma.
"Zihao!"
“Master Wei, rest assured, I am only temporarily sealing Zihao’s consciousness.
He was under the spell of the evil cultivator, his mind was lost and he was in a lot of trouble.
I'm afraid I have to go back and study it carefully with my master to see if I can find a way to solve it."
Lu Qing explained.
"That's great."
Wei Xinghe felt relieved after hearing this.
"Alright, Patriarch Wei, now that the demon cultivator has been killed, the matter is over.
The talisman on Zihao's body gains power at the cost of extracting vitality from his body.
It must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause great harm to him over time.
Why don't we go back now?"
Lu Qing to Wei Xinghe.
"In that case, let's go back immediately!"
When Wei Xinghe heard this, his heart suddenly began to lift again.
He thought of the scene of his previous fight with Zihao.
At that time, he was worried that Zihao would have to pay a price for controlling a power that was far beyond his own level of cultivation.
Now hearing what Lu Qing said, how can I not be anxious?
He wished he could fly back to Jiuli Village immediately so that Lu Qing and the old doctor could rescue his son.
The mayor of the provincial capital and others were waiting on the side.
He wanted to wait until Wei Xinghe and Lu Qing finished talking before going forward to thank them for saving his life.
However, they didn't expect that before they had a chance to thank them, Lu Qing and Wei Xinghe actually said they were leaving.
Immediately, the mayor of the prefecture city stepped forward and said, "Master Wei, benefactor, are you leaving now? You have saved the entire prefecture, and we haven't had time to thank you yet!
Besides, it's getting late now, why don't you two set out tomorrow?"
Wei Xinghe immediately looked at Lu Qing.
But he saw Lu Qing's expression was indifferent and he shook his head slightly at him.
Wei Xinghe immediately understood.
"Lord City Lord, you have seen that my unworthy son has been cursed by that evil cultivator. I must go back early to find a way to rescue him. It is really inconvenient for me to stay any longer.
Mr. Lu and I appreciate your kindness.
That evil cultivator is cruel and brutal, and he is harming the people. It is right for us to take action.
Now the people in the city are still in panic, and the most urgent task for the city lord is to appease the people first.
You don’t have to bother entertaining us.”
After Wei Xinghe finished his polite words, Lu Qing put his hand on his shoulder.
As their thoughts urged them, a breeze emerged and surrounded them.
The next moment, a whirlwind suddenly arose, and the figures of the three people rose from the ground and flew out of the city.
Even when passing by those seriously injured disciples of Qingyun Sword Pavilion who fell to the ground, a rope flew out from Lu Qing's hand, rolled up several people and took them away together.
The mayor of the provincial capital and others originally wanted to continue to persuade him to stay, but in the end they did not dare to do so.
He could only watch Lu Qing and the others fly away with shock on his face.
It took a long time for everyone to come back to their senses.
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Lord City Lord, who exactly is that young man?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at the city lord.
In the entire provincial capital, if we talk about who is the most well-informed and has the most spies, it is none other than this person.
However, they saw that the city lord shook his head.
"I don't know either. This is the first time I've met this benefactor. I've never had any contact with him before."
He was thinking in his heart that Wei Xinghe's address to that man as Mr. Lu just now reminded him of some rumors that had recently come from the royal capital.
“Even you don’t know?” Everyone was stunned.
However, there were also people with gleams in their eyes, and no one knew what they were thinking.
“No matter who this benefactor is, his strength is obvious to all. He is far beyond our imagination.
So I advise you not to do anything that would offend that person, lest you bring disaster upon yourself."
The city lord took a quick look and gave some advice.
"Don't worry, Lord City Lord. That young man saved our lives. How dare we offend him?"
Everyone responded.
But whether he really listened to it or not is unknown.
Lu Qing naturally didn't know about the conversation between the provincial mayor and others.
He used the power of the talisman to take Wei Xinghe and others away, flew for more than ten miles, and then landed on the ground.
“Master Wei, with my current cultivation level, the power of the talismans I can use is limited.
Next, I’m afraid we’ll have to walk back.”
Lu Qing said it without any hesitation.
In fact, with his current spiritual power, it is not impossible for him to activate the power of the talisman and continue flying with Wei Xinghe and the others.
But that was quite draining on his mind.
A journey of one or two hundred miles is okay, he can still hold on.
But the provincial capital was a thousand miles away from Jiuli Village, so it would be meaningless for him to show off his strength.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lu. By the way, who are these people..."
Wei Xinghe was not at all dissatisfied. Instead, he showed curiosity about the people that Lu Qing later rolled away with a rope.
Because he saw that these people had black runes on their faces and hands, similar to Wei Zihao's.
“These people should be Zihao’s fellow disciples, and they were also cursed by the evil cultivator.
So I didn’t kill them, I wanted to try and see if I could rescue them.”
Lu Qing explained.
In order to prevent the people on the ropes from struggling, Lu Qing also blocked their consciousness and made them fall into a coma.
"Mr. Lu is truly kind-hearted." Wei Xinghe praised sincerely.
At this time he recognized that these people seemed to be Zihao's fellow disciples, and they had visited Wei's house before.
It's just that the face was covered by runes, so he didn't recognize it for a moment.
"By the way, Mr. Lu, is it easy to remove the spell that Zihao and the others cast?"
At this time, Wei Xinghe finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
"To be honest, I'm not sure either." Lu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "The origin of that demon cultivator is mysterious, and the secret method he has mastered is also very profound.
The spell he planted himself may be difficult to break."
Wei Xinghe was shocked, knowing that the thing he was most worried about had finally happened.
In fact, he had some guesses when Lu Qing said that they needed to go back and do some research before they could find a way to rescue them.
After a moment of silence, Wei Xinghe finally spoke: "No matter whether the spell can be removed in the end, this is Zihao's fate.
It's a pity that the demon cultivator is already dead, otherwise, perhaps we could have forced him to tell us how to remove the spell from Zihao and the others."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Qing's heart was moved.
A smile suddenly appeared on his face: "That may not be the case, Master Wei, let's not rush on our journey for now, maybe there is still a way."
Wei Xinghe was stunned.
