Hou Wenjie continued to sort through Yuan Caiwei's fragmented memories, and before long, he figured out the truth of what happened fourteen years ago.
The seal that contained Yuan Caiwei's spirit and the eerie Lingtai acupoint has been completely shattered over hundreds of years.
Yuan Caiwei must find a spiritual platform to reside in as soon as possible, otherwise she will completely transform into a monster.
At that time, Yuan Caiwei, who was swimming in the water, saw the original owner's aunt walking by the water. For Yuan Caiwei at that time, it didn't matter who she was inhabiting, so she invaded the original owner's aunt's spiritual platform.
Because Yuan Caiwei is not entirely a supernatural being; she is essentially a Yin spirit, and the supernatural laws of the F-level do not apply to her.
While Yuan Caiwei supplied the eerie spirit with the spirit of the original owner's aunt every day, she also tried to loosen the bonds between the eerie spirit and the eerie spirit.
She secretly used a little bit of strange power to influence some of the elderly people in the village. The original owner's maternal grandmother was the most deeply affected. After being influenced by her, she began to eat vegetarian food and worship gods.
In this way, she can obtain a small amount of incense power, and it will also protect her from the strange corruption.
Days passed one after another, and Yuan Caiwei thus resided in the spirit altar of the original owner's aunt.
Until one day, she heard an old woman from the village, whose family was from Dachuan City, tell a strange story about her hometown.
The old woman said, "My hometown is Luomen Village, Yangshan Town, Dachuan City. Our village didn't used to be called this. A long time ago, it was called Luomiao Village."
Legend has it that more than a hundred years ago, the government planned to build 100 temples in a row in Luomiao Village!
When 99 temples were built, nothing happened. But when 100 temples were built, the temples built that day collapsed in the middle of the night. This happened several times in a row.
When the government officials saw this, they panicked, fearing they had offended something. They quickly set up a Buddhist and Taoist ritual, and the matter of the 100th temple was dropped.
Later, during the warlord era, those temples were converted into fortresses, and many people died there…
When Yuan Caiwei heard this strange story, she instinctively felt that something was wrong.
She immediately thought of the descriptions of grotto-heavens in the Taoist books she had read when she was young:
【Dongtian is the spiritual platform where the Heavenly Venerable attained enlightenment and the abode of immortals.】
It is usually hidden in nothingness, only receiving the light of heaven at midnight when the sky opens.
Those who are destined may seek the path and enter.
Yuan Caiwei pondered the words in the Taoist book: "The grotto heavens are often hidden in the void, and only at midnight when the heavens open will they receive the light of heaven."
She wondered if this meant that at the time of the opening of the heavens at midnight, the grotto-heaven would not be hidden in nothingness, but would appear in some way that people could not see.
Yuan Caiwei became more and more excited as she thought about it. She was very confident that there was a hidden paradise there.
So, after pretending to be mentally ill for two years, she left Tushan Village and went to Luomen Village in Dachuan City.
Upon arriving at the ruins of Luomen Temple, Yuan Caiwei, with the divine light of her Yin spirit and the years of experience of the Xianghe River God, immediately sensed that something earth-shattering was hidden beneath the Luomen Temple.
As an outstanding disciple of Louguan Dao, the leading Daoist sect in the past, Yuan Caiwei had considerable experience in breaking through spatial illusions.
With a small amount of incense and divine power, she manipulated the supernatural, using the true meaning of the Taoist scripture "planting golden lotuses in fire and refining true lead in water" to perform the Louguan Taoist supernatural power of "scooping the moon from the water".
As the supernatural power "Retrieving the Moon from the Water" was used, a black moon wheel with an aura of destruction appeared. It shattered the illusion, allowing Yuan Caiwei to see the myriad strange things suppressed underground, as well as the divine artifact Jingzhou Cauldron from thousands of years ago.
Afterwards, she also saw the mountain and discovered the legendary grotto-heaven, "Purple Mystery Grotto Illuminating Heaven".
She didn't care about the fissures in the mountainside or the ghostly corpses on the mountaintop.
After that, she lived a very comfortable life.
At midnight, when the heavens opened, the light of day shone into the Purple Mystery Cave, illuminating the sky. She was inside, and her Yin spirit was bathed in the light of day, completely suppressing her strange power.
However, as the strange creatures in the abyss became more active and the fissure grew larger, the Purple Mystery Cave that suppressed them also suffered irreversible damage.
This year, the Purple Mystery Cave Illuminates the Heavens, which was fully revealed in reality during a midnight opening of the heavens.
This made Yuan Caiwei very uneasy, because it could very well mean that this legendary grotto-heaven, the true abode of immortals, would be completely destroyed in the not-too-distant future.
So she came up with a plan: to regain her divine status.
Because her own spiritual platform was completely destroyed by her self-sealing in the past, it would be difficult for her to collect the power of incense offerings if her own appearance were used as a deity statue.
Therefore, a few days ago she cast a statue in the likeness of the original owner's aunt, so that the power of incense would gather on the original owner's aunt's spirit platform, making it easier for her to harvest it. However, before she could carry out this plan on a large scale, she herself came here.
The fragmented memories have now been restored, revealing the truth behind the Luomen Village incident.
After sorting through all of Yuan Caiwei's fragmented memories, Hou Wenjie finally obtained information about the original owner's aunt.
For Yuan Caiwei, the original owner's aunt was a very good host. She could harvest both spiritual energy and ancestral offerings, so she had to protect her.
Luomen Village was too dangerous, with an eerie atmosphere spreading everywhere. Therefore, Yuan Caiwei sent the original owner's aunt to Ma Village, which was not too far from Luomen Village.
Ma Village is almost abandoned, with only a few old men and women remaining.
Yuan Caiwei slightly influenced their mental perception, and they began to regard the original owner's aunt as the daughter of one of the old ladies.
In their understanding, the old woman's daughter was hit by a car when she was a teenager and became mentally disabled.
The old lady only had this one daughter, and although she was mentally challenged, she doted on her, providing her with the best food and clothing. Other elderly people in the village also helped out, worried that the mentally challenged girl might not have enough to eat or wear.
Judging from those fragments of memory, the original owner's aunt is still alive.
This may be the only good news of this trip.
Hou Wenjie sat down cross-legged, reflecting on what he had gained this time and what he should do in his current situation.
First, his gains this time were that he completely understood why the supernatural was born, learned some knowledge from the cultivation world, learned the secret of the Investiture of the Gods, the origin of the cave heaven, saw the Qingzhou Cauldron, obtained 4 supernatural beings, retrieved the corpses of Ye Feng and the other two, and learned about the original owner's aunt's situation.
Then, the current situation is that the Purple Mystery Cave is slowly collapsing, the fissures in the ground are getting bigger and bigger, and the gray mist spreading from the fissures has spread across the fields of Luomen Village. The situation is not optimistic.
If this divine abode were to be completely destroyed one day, the consequences would be unimaginable.
With Hou Wenjie's current strength, dealing with the strange creatures flowing like black water in the abyss might not be a problem for him, even if he only dealt with a few or ten of them. However, dealing with the countless strange creatures that were as numerous as stars was still beyond his capabilities.
Therefore, Hou Wenjie needs to strengthen his capabilities as soon as possible.
He needs to master more strange phenomena, acquire more abilities, and achieve the Dantai Yangshen as soon as possible!
As for the aunt, there is nothing strange about her body, and Hou Wenjie currently has no ability to repair her spirit and turn her into a normal person. Perhaps after achieving the Yang God status, there will be different kinds of supernatural abilities.
Hou Wenjie thought for a moment and decided to let his aunt stay in that village for the time being. At least no one would bother her there.
He'll take her home once he has a way to cure her.
