Chapter 158 If you don’t even know this, what’s the point of practicing Taoism?
interior.
Yun Qingqing stood in a gray sky and earth. There was no scenery around her, no reference, no direction, only endless void.
The scene brought back distant memories and a shrunken sense of familiarity.
The first time I looked inward in my previous life, I was faced with such a vast void.
If a novice practices Vipassana for the first time and there is no one to guide or protect him, it is extremely dangerous. If he is not careful, he may be trapped in the small world and unable to escape forever.
But her soul had been tempered and she was adept at it.
Yun Qingqing stood there calmly and concentrated for a moment, and the starry sky spread out in all directions with her as the center, and in an instant it became the universe.
She concentrated again, and suddenly a mysterious nine-star sky disk unfolded above her head.
Immediately afterwards, the land spread out in all directions under his feet.
After another moment, the center of the Eight Gates unfolded before his eyes.
The three plates of heaven, earth and man rotate slowly, forming a seemingly impermanent but actually mysterious pattern. At this moment, if someone looks at this from an infinite distance, they will find that the yin and yang of the space are gradually separated, as if the entire space has become an ultimate three-dimensional array plate - the divine plate.
Yun Qingqing slowly raised her hands, and the small skull and the baby bone hairpin appeared in her left and right hands respectively.
This divination was easier than she had imagined. She soon got the answer she wanted and breathed a sigh of relief.
Her current strength is far inferior to that of her previous life. The more advanced the mystical arts are, the more cautious she has to be. This time, because the evil creature of the infant bone appeared in the world, she was worried about the seriousness of the matter, so she went into the inner world to use the art of Qimen Dunjia to tell the divination.
But since she can get the answer so easily at her current level, it means that the situation is much better than she imagined.
The disturbance of spiritual energy stopped quietly. Yun Qingqing opened her eyes, exhaled slowly, and narrowed her eyes.
temperature.
She pondered the answer to the divination and took out a talisman from the jade ring.
A faint light flashed at the fingertips, and black mist emerged from the talisman, condensing into a vague soul.
The ghost looked around confusedly, and the moment he saw her, his expression changed drastically, and he turned around and ran away.
Yun Qingqing raised her hand and threw a spell, binding the ghost and making it unable to move.
"Master, I know I was wrong! I will never hurt anyone again. Please forgive me! I've already lost my life, please let me go!"
Seeing that he couldn't escape, the ghost immediately wailed and begged for mercy.
He was none other than the so-called Master Wen, Wen Youde, who had almost caused the death of Xu Daru.
At that time, Yun Qingqing had just traveled through time for a few days. She was short of spiritual power and her soul was unstable. After receiving the soul of this evil man, she became more cautious and never brought him out for interrogation.
The death of a person in the Xuanmen sect does not necessarily mean the disappearance of his spirit. If it is not suppressed by a powerful force, even a soul may be able to counterattack or escape.
But now she is no longer the same as before, so she doesn't have to worry about this evil soul playing tricks.
"Answer my question."
Yun Qingqing didn't waste any words with him. She took out two evil infant bone objects and said coldly:
"Do you recognize these two things?"
After hearing her question, Wen Youde calmed down a little and looked at her hand.
But after seeing the two things clearly, his expression changed again and he lowered his head furtively.
"If you're not even that useful, there's no need for you to stay in this world."
Yun Qingqing raised her hand and made a gesture with an expressionless face.
Wen Youde was so frightened that he shouted on the spot:
"I say, I say! Master, spare my life!"
Yun Qingqing stopped moving, but still maintained the posture of pinching fingers and looked at him.
"You'd better think it over before you speak. I don't necessarily need to hear the answer from you."
That emotionless gaze fixed on Wen Youde left him no doubt that if she was not satisfied with his answer, she would kill him on the spot without even a chance to change her words.
Wen Youde's last bit of hope also collapsed, and he said honestly:
"I helped my senior brother refine these bone tools. We have refined a total of seven evil-gathering bone tools. My senior brother owns five of them, and I have two. The two in your hand belong to my senior brother."
Yun Qingqing's eyes turned even colder:
"Seven bone artifacts, how many babies do they belong to?"
"Only, there's only one baby!" Wen Youde, who was clearly a spirit, still felt cold sweat dripping down his face. "I refined a bone tool for each of the head and limbs, and two for the spine..."
His voice became lower and lower, and he glanced at Yun Qingqing secretly, fearing that she would beat him apart in anger.
"Who is your senior brother and where is he?" Yun Qingqing asked again.
As fellow practitioners, we all have our own ways to defend ourselves against divination, so it’s faster to ask directly.
"My senior brother's name is Qingfengzi. His whereabouts have always been elusive. He disappeared after refining the bone tool. I have... ahem, had no news of him for over six months before I met you, the master. Now I don't know where to find him."
"Everything I said is true! If I tell even a single lie, I will die a miserable death... May the heavens strike me with five thunderbolts, and may my soul be shattered!"
As if he remembered that he had died a miserable death, seeing Yun Qingqing frown, he quickly added a sentence and swore the most poisonous oath to show his sincerity.
Yun Qingqing's expression did not improve at all:
"Which sect do you belong to? Is this method of refining evil objects passed down from your master, or did you do it privately?"
Wen Youde did not dare to hide anything:
"In reply to the master's question, I was picked up by my senior brother. Our master is a casual cultivator who has been traveling all the time. In fact, I have never seen the master since I joined the sect."
"My skills were all taught to me by my senior brother. Actually, he is my master, but he refused and insisted that I call him senior brother..."
"What's your master's name? Are there other people in the sect?" Yun Qingqing interrupted and asked, not hearing any important information.
"This... Master is Master, and my senior brother has never told me his name... I have never heard of any other fellow disciples..." Wen Youde felt a chill down his spine again.
"Master, I have confessed everything I know. From now on, I am willing to serve you like a slave and make amends for my mistakes! Please forgive me!"
Yun Qingqing glanced at the corner calmly and said with a cold curl of lips:
"You are a lonely ghost. It is not up to me to spare you or not. In the underworld, I will settle your merits and demerits one by one!"
"What..." Wen Youde's face froze, and then he finally realized that the chill he felt on his back just now was not just because of fear.
He turned around tremblingly and saw in horror two strange figures, one black and one white, standing in the shadow of the corner.
Two ghost messengers walked towards him, holding mourning sticks and soul-hooking ropes.
Wen Youde screamed "Ah" and tried to escape by turning into black smoke.
However, the man in white smiled and shook the mourning stick, and the bell on it rang. Wen Youde's body suddenly froze and his eyes were distracted for a moment.
It was not until the soul-hook rope pierced his scapula that he groaned in pain and came to his senses.
"No, it's impossible! I am a Taoist and not on the Book of Life and Death! You, you ghosts can't catch me!" Wen Youde argued in shock and fear.
Bai Wuchang smiled and said:
"The Taoists you're talking about who are listed in the Book of Life and Death must be ordained Taoists from legitimate sects. If you don't even know this, how can you still practice Taoism?"
Wen Youde was dumbfounded, and his whole body, oh no, his whole soul was stunned.
People in the Taoist sect are not on the Book of Life and Death. It was his senior brother who taught him that. But his senior brother never mentioned that there is such a thing as transmission of ordination!
He was led away by two ghost messengers in a daze, his face as pale as death.
Hei Wuchang shook the chain, and the chain extended out. The wall in the corner was suddenly covered with thick black, and the chain extended from the black fog to the distance, pointing out a path.
The two ghost messengers dragged the ghost to the junction of light and darkness, then suddenly stopped and looked back.
Bai Wuchang still had that same smiling face and looked behind him:
"Little girl, this isn't a place you can go. Just go to bed."
"Okay," Yun Qingqing took out the baby skull, "If you can find out who the owner of this skull is, I won't go."
The smile on Bai Wuchang's face froze.
