Chapter 15 Inheritance "Not Dirty".
Jiang Qian is currently suffering from a high fever, likely due to catching a cold. In addition, he has been with the corpse and absorbed a lot of death energy. He is now barely clinging to life.
His eyes were open, but his mind was hazy. Just as Shen Cangyu was about to speak, Jiang Qian suddenly grabbed her wrist.
His hands were burning hot, and a hard object was pressed directly onto Shen Cangyu's skin in his palm.
In that instant, the world turned upside down, and the scene before her eyes faded, turning into darkness.
She heard the sound of copper coins clinking, and a woman's voice.
"I see your ambition."
In the darkness, she saw a woman in a moon-white dress leaning against a tree branch. She wore a beaded veil over her head, the beads obscuring her face. As she moved, the beads rippled, revealing glimpses of her features. Through the swaying beads, Shen Cangyu saw her eyes, but her gaze was like well water, seemingly capable of drawing one's soul in.
“However, what you are asking for is too difficult. Without the help of magic, your request may not be fulfilled,” she said enticingly. “I can help you.”
Just as Shen Cangyu was about to refuse, she suddenly felt a sharp burning sensation on her wrist. She looked down and saw a red square-holed copper coin mark deeply etched into her skin on the inside of her right wrist.
"No, what is this thing?" Shen Cangyu tried to wipe it off, but couldn't.
Nobody told her that this technique was forcibly inherited!
Suddenly, Shen Cangyu felt a tremendous suction force pulling at her soul from behind, dragging her backward. Before being pulled away, she shouted at the woman in front of her, "Who are you?"
"Transaction successful. I look forward to your growth." The woman didn't reply, but just smiled. The shadows of the trees swayed, and white flowers burst open, sweeping away her figure.
"Certainly!"
Shen Cangyu suddenly opened her eyes and was met with her senior brother's magnified face. She was stunned for a moment, and before she could come to her senses, he flicked her forehead.
She covered her forehead and took a breath.
“You’ve snapped out of it,” Pei Wenjing said, extending his hand to her.
Shen Cangyu offered her her hand, and Pei Wenjing helped her up from the ground. As soon as she regained her footing, before she could even say "thank you," she suddenly felt the hand that was holding her wrist slide upwards, its cool fingertips brushing against her skin, and then it lifted her forearm up.
not good!
Their gazes fell simultaneously on her wrist, where she saw a fair complexion without any marks.
The copper coin mark that appeared on her wrist in her dream disappeared.
“It’s not dirty,” Pei Wenjing said calmly, releasing her hand.
His tone was calm, but Shen Cangyu suspected that he knew something.
In her past life, she had a lot of contact with Jiang Qian, and she had asked him if she had a chance to inherit the Copper Coin Eye. Jiang Qian told her that there was only one way to inherit the Copper Coin Eye: to wait for the deity behind the Copper Coin Eye to enter her dream and come to her in person.
In her previous life, she never saw that god. In this life, she had just met Jiang Qian when the coin-eyed god came looking for her.
It's true what they say, good things don't come, only bad things.
In this life, she originally planned to go to Kunlun, become a sword cultivator, and compete with the Kunlun disciples for the inheritance of the Kunlun Immortal Lord. Unexpectedly, this damned copper coin eye actually became attached to her.
She didn't know much about Taoist practices and wasn't sure whether a person could only learn one type of Taoist practice or whether they could simultaneously master multiple types.
If it is the latter, then she will have to find a way to remove this coin-shaped eye from her body.
"Damn it, I should never have touched Jiang Qian." Shen Cangyu cursed inwardly, her gaze falling to the side, only to find that Jiang Qian, who had been lying there, was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is the person who was just lying here?" Shen Cangyu asked.
“In the pot,” Xu Qiubai pointed to the jade pot hanging at his waist. “He collapsed as soon as you touched him, and he didn’t respond no matter how you called him. My senior brother was busy trying to revive him, so I gave him some medicine and put him in the Sun and Moon Pot.”
Xu Qiubai explained, "This dilapidated temple can't provide shelter from the wind and rain. If we want him to live, we still have to take him to a town where people live."
Shen Cangyu's gaze fell on the Pathfinding Incense beside her. The Pathfinding Incense had already burned out and turned into cold ashes. Without the Pathfinding Incense pointing her way, her heart felt a little more at ease.
The incense stick she used to find her way was from the demonic cultivator. Luckily, it had already burned out, otherwise, the fact that she had the copper coin eye would have been impossible to hide.
"Why did you faint just now? What did you see?" Pei Wenjing asked.
Shen Cangyu put his hands behind his back, his middle finger poking at his palm intermittently, and said innocently, "I don't know either. I just bumped into him, and then everything went blurry. When I woke up, you hit me."
Pei Wenjing: "?"
Pei Wenjing: "Okay."
Xu Qiubai shrank his neck.
That's what you call beating? She hasn't even witnessed the beatings from her senior brother yet; he's been beaten by her senior brother since she was a child.
Jiang Qian was still unconscious, and Shen Cangyu unscrupulously shifted the blame onto him. In order to further clear herself of suspicion, she decided to do the opposite and asked, "Why did he faint as soon as I touched him? Is there something wrong with that person?"
“He was covered in death energy. You might have been blinded by it when you touched him, which is why you fainted,” Xu Qiubai explained with difficulty.
Shen Cangyu looked as if he had just realized something.
Pei Wenjing searched the entire dilapidated temple but found nothing amiss. He narrowed his eyes. When they arrived, the incense smoke was pointing towards this very temple, but it stopped burning after reaching this spot.
Xu Qiubai was the successor personally chosen by the Heavenly Fragrance Goddess. Unlike other successors, he had the strongest connection with the Heavenly Fragrance Goddess, and his guiding incense was extremely effective.
When they lit incense, they were looking for traces of the copper-eyed demon cultivator. The guiding incense led the way here, indicating that the copper-eyed demon cultivator was in this dilapidated temple.
But now he has searched the entire dilapidated temple and found no trace of the demonic cultivator. Could it have run away? Or is it the one on the haystack that is about to turn into water?
If neither of those are the case, then it can only be that child.
Xu Qiubai could only light incense once a day; he would have to wait until tomorrow to light it again. He had originally planned to send the child to a nearby town for recuperation after giving him the healing pills.
However, if the child is involved with the copper coin eye, then he can only take him back to Kunlun and let the elders decide for themselves.
At this moment, the nameplate hanging on Pei Wenjing's waist suddenly vibrated and emitted a dazzling light.
His expression hardened, and he quickly formed hand seals.
"News!"
Small, glowing white characters flew out from the nameplate, connecting to form a thin line that wrapped around it. Shen Cangyu heard a voice coming from the nameplate: "Senior Brother, save..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
"It's Fang Chi's voice. Has something happened to them?" Xu Qiubai's face darkened.
Pei Wenjing's face was also very ugly. With a flick of his sleeve, one soul lamp after another flew out from his sleeve and circled around him. He watched the soul lamps beside him go out one by one, grinding his back teeth: "Something's happened."
At that moment, the nameplate floating beside him flashed, and a hoarse voice came from it: "As expected of the soul of a Kunlun disciple, it smells so good..."
The white lettering on the nameplate shattered, the white light disappeared, and the nameplate fell to the ground with a thud.
"What should we do? Should we go find them?" Xu Qiubai took out incense from his pocket. This time, he didn't take the guiding incense, but the spirit incense. When three sticks of incense were lit, he could ask the Goddess of Heavenly Incense to descend into his physical body.
The incense for summoning the gods requires burning blood and consuming life force, so it cannot be lit lightly. However, the situation is critical now, and none of the three of them are successors of the Free and Easy Wandering technique, so they cannot travel 30,000 miles in an instant. He can't think of any other way but to find the Goddess of Heavenly Fragrance.
“You jinx,” Pei Wenjing suddenly said, “you were right.”
He looked in Shen Cangyu's direction and said, "From today onwards, you are not allowed to speak anymore."
A stream of air rose from beneath his feet, and the turbid air gradually swirled and differentiated, transforming into two pure streams of air, one black and one white.
Shen Cangyu raised his head, walked around the swirling yin-yang fish, and saw his eyes, one black and one white.
"I use my life to prove my heart, and all energies return to one, in order to restore order to the universe and reverse the balance of Yin and Yang."
A black and white vortex suddenly rose up. Seeing this, Xu Qiubai lit the incense in his hand and said, "Peeping into the Heavenly Secrets - Divine Decree".
Shen Cangyu raised her hand to shield herself from the flying sand and stones, and in the gale, she heard a soft sigh.
She realized that it was the Heavenly Fragrance Lady who had arrived. She looked at Xu Qiubai beside her and their eyes met.
She only glanced at it when a voice suddenly came from beside her ear.
