Chapter 94 Lack of Virtue
Lin Du now felt like a person who had just learned the twenty-six letters of the alphabet and was forced to read professional English literature. It took him a lot of effort to finally translate a passage that was written entirely in seal script.
"The love pig is fed with the blood and essence of the pig master. The pig worm will parasitize the blood and essence of the person who is trapped. The blood and essence of the two will blend together. The person will gradually fall in love with the pig master and will be unable to extricate himself. He will be willing to sacrifice everything for him."
"If I can't see Master Gu, I will be heartbroken and gradually lose my mind."
"If the person being manipulated falls in love with someone else, his heart will be broken and he will die."
Lin Du tilted his head, why can't he get over it?
The thing that controls emotions should be the brain, right? Why not catch a few worms and stuff them into people's brains?
Eat the brain, and if your brain is empty, then you can just say whatever you want, right?
Lin Du turned around and laughed to himself, saying it was the heart, but in fact the key point might be the essence and blood.
The essence and blood of a cultivator are where the essence lies. If the essence and blood are mixed together, they will instinctively be regarded as blood relatives.
It’s hard to say whether this is love or not.
Lin Du was gritting his teeth as he read the next paragraph when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Tao Xian suddenly opened his eyes. Lin Du placed one arm on the two books, his fingertips brushing across the pages. He did not move even when he heard the sound. "Go open the door."
"...Who is knocking on the door in the middle of the night?" Tao Xian murmured in his heart and was a little afraid to open the door.
"It's the middle of the night, so it must be a ghost knocking on the door." Lin Du never took his eyes off the book, and his other hand was writing some complicated things in the notebook.
Tao Xian laughed dryly, "Little Taoist Lin, you just love to play jokes on me."
"I'm not kidding. Haven't you noticed? This village is filled with gloom. And today I only saw the village chief and the pregnant woman. The pregnant woman looked quite old, but she was only 24 years old. The village chief looked very old, like an old man, but he was only 30. Don't you think it's strange?"
Lin Du raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Could it be that you didn't notice?"
Tao Xian's face turned pale little by little. His mouth was still grinning, but it was already bending, as if he was frightened. "How dare you, little Taoist priest, stay here?"
Lin Du then remembered that this person had some problems with his spiritual palace, so his consciousness might never have been released, so he didn't see it. Besides, Taoists are generally more polite, unlike her who is immoral and has to think about everything.
"What's even stranger is that, although these people have spiritual energy in their bodies, they don't seem to know how to use it at all."
If they were serious cultivators, they could naturally use spiritual energy to resist the negative energy and prevent themselves from having too much vitality consumed by the negative energy. However, in their current situation, they are more like containers of spiritual energy.
The knocks on the door became more and more urgent, but not heavy. At the same time, the person outside the door finally spoke, "Excuse me, is the Taoist priest from outside the town here? It is really helpless to disturb you so late at night. I want to see the elder because of my unborn child."
Tao Xian thought the voice sounded weak, "It's still a female ghost..."
Lin Du sighed, and a stream of spiritual energy rolled over the door handle, and then the door creaked open.
A woman with a slightly bulging belly was standing outside the door. When she saw the door open and the people inside were still sitting there, she subconsciously covered her belly.
"You were crying this afternoon. Why?"
The woman looked at the person who spoke in surprise. The young Taoist priest didn't look very old, and was dressed in the simplest Taoist attire. Only the fabric on his body and a simple white jade hairpin looked extraordinary. He still had his back to her, his back was straight but thin, and he was probably reading something at his desk without even turning his head.
As if he was afraid that the woman didn't hear him clearly, Lin Du turned the page and asked again in a good-tempered tone, "You said you didn't want to have a daughter, why?"
Tao Xian was stunned for a moment. He inexplicably felt that Taoist Lin Xiao's tone was a little cold when he said this.
The woman hesitated, walked into the house, then carefully closed the door, and then fell to her knees.
Lin Du paused in his hasty writing and turned to look at Tao Xian, "You're not going to help?"
Tao Xian felt that this was against etiquette, but after seeing Lin Du's observation, he obediently got out of bed and helped the man up.
Just as he stretched out his hand, the woman was stunned for a moment, then she grabbed the man's wrist and didn't get up. In this posture, she cried a little, "Master, please take me away? Otherwise, give me an abortion pill."
Lin Du turned his head and glanced at the woman in surprise.
Tao Xian did not dare to move rashly, and whispered, "Would you please get up? Is there anything you cannot say before you get up? Besides, kneeling before me is useless. You have hands and feet, who can stop you? The doctor is next door, you knocked on the wrong door."
The woman raised her face, tears in her eyes, "I didn't knock on the wrong door. You can come back, so you must be able to take me out, right?"
Lin Du paused holding the pen, and Tao Xian was also startled, as if he was a little confused. "What are you talking about?"
"I won't be mistaken. Only children born in this village will have the mark left by the Moon Goddess. You have a scar on the base of your palm."
Lin Du's spiritual consciousness, which had been focused on the woman, naturally fell on the sunken area at the base of Tao Xian's palm, and there was indeed a scar.
Tao Xian was stunned for a moment, and he withdrew his hand first, "What nonsense are you talking about, this is clearly... clearly..."
He thought that maybe he was naughty when he was a child, just like Lin Du, who was at an age that was disliked by cats and dogs, and he might have been spanked. But for a cultivator, it was undoubtedly abnormal to have a scar on his body that would not fade away.
Lin Du withdrew his spiritual consciousness again, then turned around and pretended to be still reading, but in fact he gently used his spiritual consciousness to poke the group of divine thoughts in his spiritual palace that obviously did not belong to him.
After being poked several times in succession, the divine thought finally responded.
"Is there something?" Yan Ye's voice echoed in her mind, somewhat ethereal and vague.
"Master, I have a question. I met a person who is a Tengyun Realm cultivator over 400 years old. His divine palace seems to have been obviously injured or defective. Even my consciousness can intrude at will. And sometimes it feels like he is a completely different person, as if someone is monitoring me through his eyes and ears. What should this be? A puppet? Or is his divine palace controlled by someone?"
Yan Ye's voice became more serious. "Does he have any other abnormalities? For example, loss of soul? Incomplete memory?"
"I think so. My memory is incomplete and I don't remember being used as a vessel. When I withdrew from his divine palace, I felt a power that did not belong to him."
"He must have had his memory wiped, and because the method was rough, it was not repaired afterwards, so his divine palace is incomplete. As for the replacement, if the other party's consciousness is strong, he can temporarily take over and cover it. It's a bit like a divine mark."
Yan Ye paused, "For example, I have now separated a very small part of myself from your brain, but I am just living there, not forcing you to leave a mark. I am more polite and respect your privacy..."
Lin Du interrupted him, "Let's get to the point. Have you been too idle? Have you not spoken for too long?"
The white ball in the divine palace, which was a hundred times colder than Lin Du's aura, suddenly turned into a hand and then hit Lin Du's divine palace on the head.
Lin Du covered his head, veins popped out on the back of his hand, and he gritted his teeth, "You are a lonely empty-nest old man, but I have to play the role of an old corpse in the mountain village. Please."
Yan Ye: ...
"The person who casts the spell has a larger spiritual consciousness, which should be the main soul. Because the spiritual consciousness is very strong, it has left the master-slave mark and can directly take over the five senses and even the body of the person. But from your description, it should be only the five senses. This is not something a decent person would do. It is rare among evil demons. It is considered a lack of virtue. Okay, be careful and I will continue to close the door."
Yan Ye spoke very quickly, and after he finished speaking, the white light gathered into a ball again and stopped moving.
Lin Du stood up suddenly and took away the books and ink on the table. "I'm going to go to the next door to find my nephew. You guys can chat."
Tao Xian was a little scared. "Little Taoist priest, are you leaving like this? When will you come back? Do you really want to leave me here alone? It's not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room."
This village woman just held her hand and cried, but seemed unwilling to say anything, which made him very embarrassed.
He just cried without saying a word, and then he started saying some nonsense that no one could understand. Who wouldn't be scared?
If the man comes to his house, who can he go to for justice?
Lin Du glanced at the village woman, then walked out the door without looking back, and even closed the door considerately, "Go find the abortion pills soon."
Tao Xian: ...It's still Lin Du. He always speaks so wickedly.
