Chapter 142 Chapter 142 Shen Qingxin...
Chen Qing's heart was shocked. If she was not unable to move at this moment, she would probably turn around to look at You Daozi's appearance the next moment.
To be honest, A'niang looks like her grandmother and doesn't look like You Daozi.
Chen Qing's legs softened and she knelt down uncontrollably.
You Daozi released his hand from her shoulder and said, "Kowtow."
Chen Qing tried to move her fingers and found that she could move them. She leaned over and kowtowed three times to the woman in the coffin with sincerity.
You Daozi said with satisfaction: "It's hard for your grandmother to make so many plans for you. Since she wants you to live, I will not hurt you. The premise is that you need to be obedient."
What does this mean?
Seeing the confusion in Chen Qing's eyes, You Daozi kindly explained, "Otherwise, why do you think that copy of 'Xuan Ji' ended up in your Xuan Ji Pavilion?"
Chen Qing’s heart sank.
You Daozi smiled and said, "It's no wonder that a person who has been reborn would be like this."
"No wonder the hexagram shows that no matter how we activate the Winged Twins Formation, it's a dead end. It turns out this formation has already been activated."
"You know, I originally prepared this formation for your grandmother, but you used it. I can only settle for the next best thing and find another way to wake your grandmother up."
You Daozi didn't say what the other solution was. He turned and left. "It'll be soon. Just sit here and wait for your grandmother to wake up."
"If she wakes up and sees her granddaughter has grown up this big, I think she will be very happy."
Sit here?
Chen Qing felt as if she had heard a huge joke. This place was extremely cold, and the cold air was coming from almost all directions, trying its best to get through the seams of her clothes. She was afraid that she would freeze to death before her grandmother woke up.
"Grandpa!" Chen Qing called out in a moment of urgency.
You Daozi really paused, turned around, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Qing's lips and teeth trembled as he said, "I'm cold, can you let me go out and wait?"
You Daozi smiled gently and said, "No."
…
"I'm freezing to death! You don't want Grandma to wake up and see my dead body, do you? She'll definitely hate you to death if that happens!"
When he heard the word "hate", You Daozi's smile froze. He really thought about it seriously and finally came to a conclusion, "Then wear more."
You Daozi left, and not long after, he came back holding a pile of thick clothes that he had found from somewhere.
At that time, Chen Qing was so cold that he felt dizzy and could not see.
You Daozi opened his cloak and put it on her. The back of his finger accidentally touched the side of her face, and the biting cold made You Daozi frown slightly.
Only then did he realize that if this continued, she would really freeze to death.
You Daozi simply sat cross-legged and channeled his internal energy into Chen Qing to dispel the cold.
A surge of warm internal energy rushed in, instantly dispelling the coldness. Shen Qing barely regained some of her rationality. She secretly cursed You Daozi in her heart, saying that he was simply not a normal person.
At the same time, Chen Qing also knew from whom Li Daoxuan learned the habit of using his internal force to dispel cold for others.
What a waste of internal energy.
She exhaled a breath of foul air and asked, "Grandpa, was it you who created this Winged Twin Formation?"
You Daozi: "Yes."
Seeing his nonchalant look, Chen Qing tried to continue asking, "So, the story in the book is about you and your grandmother?"
You Daozi opened his eyes and thought for a moment, "Oh, that one, I wrote it. How is it? It's pretty good, isn't it?"
...How should she respond? Good, wonderful?
A normal person's thinking process, even if they were to weave themselves into a storybook, would either portray themselves as the leader of the righteous path or as a character with an extremely smooth life. But You Daozi was different. Not only did he not add any exaggeration, but he also portrayed his own evil nature so vividly that people could not help but curse after reading it.
It's true...you have some talent for writing storybooks.
Seeing that Chen Qing was speechless, You Daozi said, "What a coincidence! I wrote two copies of Xuan Ji. One was sent to Xuan Ji Pavilion, and the other is still in the Sutra Pavilion of Dongshan Temple."
"However, did you notice that the book that appeared in your Xuanji Pavilion seemed to be missing something?"
Chen Qing thought carefully and she did remember that the last page of the book she read last time was torn off.
Her intuition told her that there seemed to be extremely important information waiting for her in the torn page.
Seeing her like this, You Daozi said, "I originally put this book here because it was actually because of your grandmother's last wish. She wanted you to get through this disaster safely, so I tore off the last page. That way, you can eliminate the side effects without any worries."
"Now it seems that the side effects on you should have dissipated. That kid's death was not in vain."
Chen Qing's hand, which was forming a spell, trembled, and the formation he had secretly set up with great difficulty was instantly destroyed.
"What do you mean?" Chen Qing's voice trembled a little.
"When yin and yang blend, within a year, the yang will bear the punishment of heaven and die. If the yang is strong, the yin will decline, and if the yin is strong, the yang will decline." You Daozi suddenly read out a series of words.
This was something Chen Qing had never seen before, and it was also the content of the page that was torn off.
She opened her eyes little by little.
You Daozi said: "Otherwise, why do you think you were able to be reborn, and why do you think you were able to avoid heaven's punishment and live safely."
"Of course, someone took the consequences for you."
There is no such thing as having the best of both worlds.
Even if there is, it shouldn't fall on her.
Chen Qing's mind was in a mess. She shook her head and wanted to get up, but You Daozi held her shoulder with one hand.
You Daozi: "Don't worry, he is now in the Copper Furnace Tower with Wuming. In about a quarter of an hour, he should be refined along with those vengeful spirits."
The Tonglu Tower is also the demon-suppressing tower of Dongshan Temple. Every year, demons are refined and dissipated in it.
Chen Qing was so angry that she felt a sharp pain in her heart. In her rage, her chest ached and she vomited blood with a "wow".
The effect of the medicine he had taken before had long worn off, and he was vomiting blood now, purely out of anxiety.
You Daozi said calmly, "This is the cloak your grandmother wore when I first met her. Unfortunately, it got soiled by you, a naughty girl."
"Where is Li Daoxuan?" Chen Qing's eyes were instantly bloodshot, and he looked terribly anxious.
You Daozi: "It's right here. Don't be too sad. He must have seen the book 'Xuan Ji' in the Sutra Library. Maybe he is willing to die for you."
Chen Qing couldn't hear anything, and the blood in his mouth fell to the ground. In an instant, a formation pattern appeared on the ground with the two of them as the center. You Daozi smiled and jumped back.
It's still a little late.
With the formation pattern as the center, the ground exploded instantly with such great force that Chen Qing was thrown out in an instant. You Daozi was also affected and his back hit the ice wall.
The clothes he had just changed were stained red by the blood gushing out of his abdomen. You Daozi pressed his abdomen and sighed, "You are worthy of being my descendant. It seems I still underestimated you."
Chen Qing had experienced life and death escapes in two lifetimes, and had long since mastered a set of tricks and escape skills. She lay on the ground, unable to move for a while, her bones seemed to be crushed and reassembled, and it hurt so much!
She spat blood and cursed, "Damn you, you evil old Taoist priest! You still have the nerve to flatter yourself! You've been pretending for so many years, but I didn't expect you to be such a filthy person. Where did you take the souls of the Gao family army? Where's General Gao? And Li Daoxuan, what do you mean by this?"
One of the grandfather and grandson collapsed on the ground, while the other sat with his back against the wall, neither able to move for a while.
You Daozi covered his abdomen and laughed: "You two young couples are equally rebellious. One of you gave me a sword, and the other blew me up."
"Of course it means literally. This is the Copper Furnace Tower."
The huge Bagua formation turned out to be a teleportation formation, which directly teleported several people back to Dongshan Temple...
Chen Qing asked, "What do you want the souls of Gao Jiajun for?"
"Why should I tell you?"
Chen Qing summoned the silver soul thread, and the extremely thin silver thread suddenly climbed to the neck of the person in the coffin and slowly tightened.
The smile on You Daozi's face suddenly disappeared.
"Little girl, to use folk language, you are being unfilial."
Chen Qing said, "Oh, and then what?" The silver soul thread tightened, and a small cut was suddenly made on the corpse's neck.
If we delay any longer, the small hole will probably become a big one.
Chen Qing grinned and said, "I guarantee that her head will hit the ground before you can move. You went to so much trouble to build an ice chamber in this copper furnace tower and preserved her body for so many years. Isn't it because you want to resurrect her and must ensure that the body is intact?"
"I've already used the Winged Twins Formation. If I take her head off, is there any way you can revive her? Let me think about it," Chen Qing said thoughtfully. "Oh, it seems there isn't one."
Chen Qing said: "Answer my questions obediently, old man."
You Daozi: "Refine the three poisons in them, use their resentment as a guide, and activate the formation of the Copper Furnace Tower."
The three poisons are nothing but "greed, anger, and ignorance" that people are born with. If they are refined, it would be fine to be a living person, just like a monk who is more pure and desireless.
But if it was a ghost, it would be more serious. To put it bluntly, if these three things were eliminated, the vengeful spirit would no longer have a complete soul body, and it would no longer have the opportunity to be reborn. The final outcome would be to become a lonely ghost and gradually dissipate.
What does this have to do with activating the Copper Furnace Tower formation? Chen Qing: "I don't understand. Speak human language."
You Daozi: "Under the Copper Furnace Tower is the dragon vein of the Li Dynasty. I want to use the energy of the dragon vein to guide and resurrect your grandmother."
"To activate the Copper Furnace Tower's formation, a significant 'thrust' is required, and this 'thrust' must be clean and cannot pollute the dragon veins. General Gao's spirit is protected by merit and is the most suitable initiator."
Since we want to keep it clean, then we naturally cannot have "greed, ignorance, and anger".
Shen Qing’s face turned pale.
The elimination process is extremely painful. There is no guarantee that these things will not go crazy because of the pain. What's more, Li Daoxuan is still inside, his life or death is unknown, and with so many monsters around, it is unknown whether he can bear it.
Chen Qing said, "Stop now! Let Li Daoxuan out!"
You Daozi just smiled faintly from beginning to end.
"Why do you think I told you so much detail?"
Shen Qing had a bad feeling.
"It finally came out. That broken sword spirit actually attacked me when I was not prepared! I was almost swallowed by those things!" Wuming's voice suddenly sounded.
"Hey, what a rare guest!" Wuming was dressed in rags and had long lost his elegance. He simply stopped pretending to be so. "It's been so short a time since we last met, and you've been made like this by this little girl? Hahahahahahahahahaha——" He laughed heartily.
"Where is the brat?" You Daozi asked.
"Oh, he's surrounded by those things. I guess he's almost dead."
Chen Qing gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, determined to pull the silver soul thread to tear the head of the female corpse in the coffin off.
Wuming noticed her little movement, snapped his fingers, and the silver soul thread broke instantly.
Yuuji noticed her movements, closed his eyes and sighed.
"Indeed, as decisive as your grandmother."
