Chapter 136 Giving the Blockhead a Little Shock from His Junior Sister
The Jade Cup Fairy has more than one mirage mask.
Because she sacrificed more than one person to commit murder.
The so-called immortal sect she belongs to is a branch of the immortal magic lineage active in the northern East Sea.
Although they claim to be a celestial sect, they are not particularly prominent.
Or rather, the lineage of immortals, sorcerers, and Taoist practitioners does not have a sect as prominent and powerful as the reclusive sects.
Perhaps it is among the three mythical mountains in the Middle East, said to be the abode of immortals.
However, it's possible that the Jade Cup Fairy was in a low position with an obstructed view, preventing her from hearing such secrets.
Since she began practicing Qi cultivation, all the fellow practitioners she had encountered were wandering overseas, seeking immortality and alchemy, or obsessed with achieving immortality—all self-proclaimed immortals.
However, the Jade Cup Fairy had heard of it when she went to sea to search for immortals in her early years.
Many sorcerers overseas have personally witnessed famous immortals who ascended to heaven hundreds of years ago, who were suspected of having taken elixirs and achieved immortality.
This is a true immortal master.
What they studied was the legendary path to immortality, which was close to the origin of all things.
The Jade Cup Fairy naturally felt envious.
But immortals are hard to find, and immortal techniques are even harder to come by.
The original Qi-refining techniques of the Taoist lineage of immortals and sorcerers have been developed and spread wildly by overseas sorcerers for thousands of years.
The current system of magic is already vast and chaotic, not to mention that many of these are charlatans and swindlers.
The Qi Refining Technique of the Jade Cup Immortal Sect has a rather unique advancement method, roughly consisting of three steps:
They held a ceremony, took the elixir, and sacrificed a human.
The more noble the bloodline and the more special the status of the person, the more spiritual energy one gains from killing them, and the easier it is to use them to break through ranks and advance in rank.
Perhaps it is somewhat sinister, but the Jade Cup Fairy has seen even more sinister sorcerers overseas.
Killing people for sacrifice is nothing; tearing out hearts and lungs and swallowing them alive is the normal way to do it.
However, the Jade Cup Fairy had heard someone mention it.
The most fundamental mythical Qi cultivation technique of this path consists of nine lost immortal formulas, which can enable mortals to become immortals.
This kind of bizarre external alchemy, along with the current mainstream internal alchemy practiced both in the secular and secular worlds, are both extremely wicked.
However, it is the art that all the gods and sorcerers in the world dream of.
The pursuit of immortality, the yearning for it day and night, isn't it all about finding an immortal and receiving the secret to eternal life?
The Jade Cup Fairy didn't know if she would ever have the chance to touch it in this lifetime.
But regardless.
She has now chosen to become a customer of the Liu family and kill for them.
The plan is to ride the wave of this opportunity, climb the social ladder by associating with the Wei family, advance to the two capitals, and then sell the path to immortality to the so-called nobles of Luoyang, helping them seek immortality.
Not to mention how many "sacrifices" could be legitimately harvested during this period.
With the help of the Liu family, he was able to devise a plan to drown Ouyang Lianghan without anyone noticing, which was just a small test of his skills.
In the past, without any powerful backing, wouldn't someone who dared to openly kill an official of the imperial court be afraid of being tracked down by the geomancers sent down from the capital?
The Jade Cup Fairy had figured it out: in certain power struggles within the upper echelons of the dynasty, the lives of nobles were sometimes worse than those of dogs.
This is also her opportunity to study a special sacrificial qi cultivation technique.
Outside a solemn main hall during the bustling temple fair at Donglin Temple.
The Jade Cup Fairy stopped thinking about it and gave a few instructions to the servant Liu beside her. She then left the crowd of worshippers and followed Ouyang Rong and his companion into the main hall.
The Jade Cup Fairy was not afraid of being discovered.
Because at this moment she was wearing another mirage mask.
She also transformed into the appearance of an ordinary wealthy woman, somewhat plump.
This mask was made by the Jade Cup Fairy a long time ago after she sacrificed it to a wealthy woman, using the spiritual essence she collected to create it for everyday disguise.
This allowed her to escape many extremely dangerous pursuits.
This is actually one of the reasons why the Jade Cup Fairy dared to operate in Longcheng County, right at the doorstep of Yunmeng Jianze's family, not just because she had the protection and cover of the Liu family of Longcheng.
Inside the main hall.
Ouyang Rong originally wanted to wait outside the hall. After all, he wasn't going in to burn incense or worship Buddha. The women were all kneeling on prayer cushions, so what was he doing just standing there?
However, the junior sister, citing safety concerns, allowed Ouyang Rong to follow her inside.
The junior sister also said that her knife was in his hands, and he had promised to help her carry it.
Ouyang Rong felt a little embarrassed. If he hadn't known that his junior sister was going into the hall to ask for marriage for others, he would have almost thought she was going to go in and chop up those bald monks.
He had no choice but to accompany him.
The once solemn and majestic hall is now filled with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Everywhere you look, there are devout men and women.
In the very center of the main hall, beside the majestic Buddha statue, stood a familiar figure of an old monk.
He wore a black monk's robe, had a long, pale beard, and a ruddy complexion, giving him the appearance of a venerable and powerful monk.
The sight of the pilgrims who came to burn incense and draw lots brought them peace of mind, and they all stepped forward to ask the master to interpret their fortunes.
I saw Master Shandao receiving ladies and young women seeking marriage, rain or shine.
Ouyang Rong's lips twitched slightly.
How could Master Shandao know everything?
Well, it's not always true.
However, it seems that wherever there are female believers, there he is.
So dedicated!
Behind them, Ouyang Rong waited, muttering to himself.
Ahead, Xie Lingjiang stepped forward and came to the Buddha.
"master……"
She looked a little nervous and embarrassed, and called out softly.
"The female bodhisattva needs no further words."
Master Shandao clasped his hands together, a glint of brilliance gleaming in his bright and wise eyes, seemingly born of his meditation and Buddhist practice. The old monk closed his eyes slightly, speaking in a profound and enigmatic manner:
"All words are empty appearances, all appearances are illusions. The female bodhisattva can simply make a wish and draw lots."
Xie Lingjiang shook her head: "No, what I meant was, when you're making a wish, could you please stay a little further away?"
Master Shandao: "..."
The old monk choked for a moment, then said with a kind and gentle expression:
"Please make yourself at home, female bodhisattva. This is a Guanyin divination slip. After you make your wish, you may draw one yourself."
Master Shandao walked to the back and came to Ouyang Rong's side. The two of them waited with their hands at their sides.
Inside the solemn and spacious Guanyin Hall, Xie Lingjiang knelt respectfully on a prayer mat in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, her hands clasped together, her eyes closed, and she murmured in prayer.
In fact, she did not believe in Buddhism. Even though her father built a pagoda for her mother at Donglin Temple, Xie Lingjiang did not believe it and only took it as a comfort to her heart.
But that doesn't stop her from temporarily believing in the faith today, well, she'll believe in it along with her senior brother.
Time passed second by second.
Not far away, near the entrance of the main hall.
The jade cup fairy, disguised as a wealthy woman, frowned and shook her head, her expression showing some impatience as she waited.
You just like that Ouyang Lianghan behind the scenes, why bother asking Guanyin for a marriage fortune slip?
Romantic relationships between men and women are so drawn out and frustrating.
Let's hurry up and finish all these complicated matters, then head to the Compassionate Nursing Home to die, becoming a pair of doomed lovers.
Although she was impatient and wanted to complain, while waiting, the Jade Cup Fairy gradually began to ponder something.
Judging from this, if Ouyang Lianghan is beheaded in front of Lady Xie at the Beitian Aid Home later, she is likely to break down and go berserk, and will not let it go.
And what if that bastard named A-Jie slips away and leaves her alone? That would be terrible.
How about we do what we did last time when the East Warehouse burned down the tents, and lure Xie Lingjiang away?
Will she fall for the trap again this time?
The Jade Cup Fairy couldn't help but glance again at the graceful figure kneeling respectfully in front of the prayer mat.
In front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Xie Lingjiang's kneeling body was a little tense.
She knelt in the embroidered shoes below, her toes curling up involuntarily.
Although if someone were to stand in front of Xie Lingjiang at this moment, they would find that she had no expression, only a somewhat sincere look.
But in reality, only Xie Lingjiang knew that she was extremely panicked.
This time, Brother La came to Donglin Temple to seek a marriage fortune stick, but of course, it wasn't just for the sake of worshipping Buddha and drawing lots.
It was not at the behest of any Su family's younger sister.
If the latter knew that she was using his name to arrange a meeting with her senior brother.
He probably wanted to kill her with a knife.
But Xie Lingjiang wasn't entirely lying; she did indeed stand up for Su's younger sister.
The youngest daughter of the Su family is also of marriageable age. It's no big deal to draw a marriage fortune for her and give it to her as a birthday gift in a few days.
Although Xie Lingjiang originally thought that he could help her find the "Return to the Countryside" that she had always longed for.
However, Xie Lingjiang later gave up, and this poem may no longer exist in the world.
In any case, she came all this way to ask for a marriage fortune, even sacrificing her image by wearing a pink dress that was somewhat embarrassing and hadn't been worn in a long time in front of her senior brother.
What Xie Lingjiang really wanted to do was... to wake up that perpetually slow-witted blockhead.
Hint or restraint, tell the senior brother:
She's easy to pursue right now, but... only with him.
Actually, Xie Lingjiang felt her face burning.
Today, from the moment she bathed, changed clothes, and dressed up in a pink dress before going out, to the moment she gave him a skirt knife in the alley, and then to the moment she forcibly dragged him into the main hall to observe and draw lots.
These are no longer just bold hints, they're practically explicit statements.
But her senior brother always manages to give her a doting look, as if he's saying, "Just go along with your wishes, junior sister," thus rationally defusing all her hints and efforts.
Xie Lingjiang gritted her teeth for a while.
at last,
Before the dignified and compassionate statue of Guanyin, she let out a soft sigh, murmuring in her heart:
"Why is Senior Brother so slow to understand? How about... how about another big one?"
"But what if... we still can't wake them up?"
"Does it really mean that the girl has to say it out loud, shamelessly... shamelessly sticking her nose in..."
The noblewoman Xie was filled with anxiety and uncertainty.
Facing Guanyin alone.
He turned his back to Ouyang Rong and Master Shandao.
For a moment, her expression became hesitant.
...
To clarify the reincarnation issue: the protagonist and the original body are from different lives, but the soul of this life was killed, while the soul of the previous life possessed the body and inherited the memories of this life. Therefore, in a sense, they are still the same person, more like parallel worlds.
