Chapter 250 You Can't Handle This Cause and Effect

When I recognized the origin of this lantern, I was struck by lightning and froze in place.

In fact, the origin of this lantern is too great.

I once read an ancient book, which recorded that Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain left three magic weapons when he ascended to heaven.

They are an umbrella, a lantern and a sword.

The umbrella is the Tianji Umbrella. Legend has it that opening this umbrella can conceal the secrets of heaven and block all causes and effects.

The sword is the Ghost-Slaying Sword. When this sword comes out, ghosts and gods are shocked. It is a first-class magic weapon. Zhang Tianshi relied on this sword and killed countless powerful ghosts and evil people.

That lamp is the one in front of me right now.

This lamp is called the Soul-Guiding Lamp. According to legend, once this lamp is lit, all ghosts will be unable to follow it. All the wronged souls and fierce ghosts will rush to chase this lamp, wanting to get in and become the wick of this lamp.

The reason is that this lamp is made of human skin, and the first generation of wicks was transformed from a ten-thousand-year-old ghost king. Even the lamp oil is the corpse oil that flows out of the legendary immortal bones.

Corpse oil is a great tonic for all zombies, especially the corpse oil that comes from the incorruptible bones of the acquired zombies. For all zombies, it is a treasure they want to get. The

reason why those wronged ghosts want to get into the lantern is because the soul of the ten thousand year old ghost king is still sealed in the wick. They are eager to devour the soul of the ten thousand year old ghost king to strengthen themselves.

But they ignore the skeleton and the outer layer of human skin that make up this lantern.

"Legend has it that the skeleton of this lantern is made of the bones of an immortal, and the outer skin is the skin of that immortal, but I don't know if this legend is true."

These wronged souls and fierce ghosts are attracted by the wick and scramble to get in and devour the ghost king's soul in the wick, but as long as they get in, they will be trapped in it and become a new wick, thus maintaining this lantern for a thousand years.

Although countless wronged souls and fierce ghosts have become the wick of this lantern, under the temptation of the ten thousand year ghost king's soul, countless wronged souls and fierce ghosts still scramble to come, so from ancient times to the present, this lantern has almost never been extinguished.

The only thing that seemed to have been extinguished was when Zhang Tianshi fought with others. Zhang Tianshi used the Soul-Guiding Lamp to ward off the ghosts and attacked the enemy, but the Soul-Guiding Lamp was blown out by the enemy with Qi.

However, more than a thousand years ago, the First Emperor achieved great unification and wanted to subdue the various schools of thought for his own use. The various schools of thought refused and went to war with the First Emperor.

The war affected a wide range of people. Not only were many ancient books burned, but many extremely precious magic weapons were also lost.

Of the three treasures of Longhu Mountain, only the Ghost-Slaying Sword was preserved and worn by successive Tianshi.

In addition, the Heavenly Secret Umbrella and the Soul-Guiding Lamp were all lost.

But at this moment, this lantern appeared in front of me. How could I not be shocked?

I took a deep breath to calm myself down, then looked at the old man with a vigilant look and said in a deep voice: "Is this lantern the soul-guiding lantern left by Master Zhang Tian?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect that a young boy like you actually has some knowledge." He grinned, and then said in a low voice: "Yes, what I have in my hand is the Soul-Guiding Lamp."

At this point he sighed and said: "Thinking back then, when the Soul-Guiding Lamp came out, it attracted masters from all sides to fight for it. At that time, I was just a young boy like you, but I didn't expect that, by some strange coincidence, this Soul-Guiding Lamp that countless masters dreamed of getting, finally fell into my hands. Thanks to this... The Soul Guiding Lamp allowed me to officially embark on the path of cultivation. It has been with me for more than 80 years, and now it has become a part of my life."

"Become a part of his life? What do you mean? Could it be that he has refined the Soul Guiding Lamp and turned it into a magical tool that only recognizes him? But how is this possible!"

I was stunned. You know, this Soul Guiding Lamp is a treasure left by Zhang Tianshi, and it carries Zhang Tianshi's aura. How could it be so easily refined by someone outside Longhu Mountain?

"Could it be that this old man is a master who has hidden himself?"

I squinted my eyes and looked at him carefully. However, apart from the heavy yin and ghost energy on the old man's body, there was no other aura. I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this old man's realm is too high, his Taoism is too deep, and he has reached the point of returning to the truth, so I can't see anything?

"Huh." Suddenly, the old man raised his eyebrows and uttered a light exclamation, and his cloudy eyes stared straight at the Zanling Sword on my waist.

"This is... the talisman of the headmaster of the lineage of the Walking Yin people, the Soul-Slaying Knife?" His face changed: "You are a member of the lineage of the Walking Yin people? Zhang Du'e, who are you?"

"He actually knows my master?" I was shocked, but then I thought, my master is one of the top three of the world's top ten masters, and he is also the only living Yin messenger in the world. I guess that as long as there is a cultivator in the world, there should be no one who doesn't know him.

I took a deep breath and then said, "Zhang Du'e is my master."

"Tsk tsk, what a coincidence, I haven't been out of the mountains for decades, and when I went out of the mountains, I actually met the disciple of my old friend?"

He laughed at this, but he was too old. After laughing, the wrinkles on his face piled up together, looking uglier than crying.

"Your master and I haven't seen each other for decades. I remember that we fought and exchanged skills in Longhu Mountain."

His words shocked me.

He actually fought with my master?

Regardless of winning or losing, since he could fight with my master, this person must not be an ordinary person.

At the very least, he must be on the same level as my master.

Thinking of this, I swallowed my saliva immediately, then bowed to him and said, "Senior, since you and my master are old friends, can I ask you for a favor?"

The old man's eyes rolled, and then he said, "You tell me."

"I don't ask why you want to harm Aunt Wang's family. I only ask you, can you let Aunt Wang's family go?"

After hearing what I said, the old man was stunned at first, then shook his head and said, "Boy, it's not that I won't let them go. The truth is, this is the cause and effect of their family, and it's also their fate. The cause and effect cannot be explained to you in a few words, and you'd better stop meddling in other people's business, otherwise the cause and effect will stick to you, and you're afraid you will be implicated, and..."

At this point he grinned: "Moreover, even if you are a disciple of the Yinren lineage, and a disciple of the living Yincha Zhang Du'e, I think you can't accept this cause and effect!"
