Chapter 32: What to do if you have too much Yin energy? Get more sun!
The black dragon is gone, and the sword at the bottom of Liuhu Lake is easy to take, as long as the barrier around the sword is broken.
Wu Ciyan took the sword and sent a flying letter to a god, asking a question. After receiving a positive answer, he went directly to the heaven and arrived at Murong Palace.
Murong was making tea. When she heard the door open, her hand shook and the tea spilled out.
Wu Ciyan threw the sword to the ground and said, "The sword has been retrieved."
Murong frowned. Is he showing off?
Wu Ciyan added, "The sword under Liuhu Lake was retrieved in just half a day without the Black Dragon." After that, he walked over to sit opposite Murong and drank the tea she had brewed in one gulp.
Murong was stunned for a moment, then her expression relaxed. She asked with a smile, "Isn't this the Linpo Fairy Mountain? Why did you go to Liuhu?"
"I've always been a man of few words." Wu Ciyan leaned back. "Aren't you going to move out? You haven't moved yet?"
Murong poured herself another cup of tea and said, "I found the obsession that devoured you."
Wu Ciyan opened his eyes, sat up, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Murong said, "I ascended after you killed the Emperor of Heaven. After ascending, most immortals kept silent about the matter, and I didn't ask in detail. A few days ago, you asked me to investigate Qi Yuefeng. I asked the Supreme God Junyi, and Junyi said that Qi Yuefeng was once a subordinate of Qin Feng. Qin Feng asked him to kill Wen Lanzhi, but he failed and let Wen Lanzhi go. Afterwards, he was targeted by Qin Feng, and he was afraid that you would cause trouble for him, so he jumped down and became a mortal."
Wu Ciyan held the cup and poured tea into his mouth without saying a word.
Murong continued, "I asked for the details. They originally didn't capture Wen Lanzhi, but only you. Later, Qin Feng heard that you were willing to expose yourself to divert them in order to protect Wen Lanzhi, so he went to the mortal world to capture Wen Lanzhi. Wen Lanzhi was burning the temple in the demon world at the time... I didn't find out why."
Wu Ciyan asked, "Haven't you already caught me? Why are you trying to catch Wen Lanzhi again?"
Murong could tell his tone wasn't good, so she let him relax for a moment before continuing, "There's no real reason, I simply wanted to make you suffer more. Qin Feng went to tell you specifically. The day after you got the news, you broke open the Demon Locking Tower and escaped."
Murong added, as if delivering a final verdict: "Your obsession is Wen Lanzhi."
Before the death of the guardian god, the situation in the demon world had always been very difficult. Not to mention burning temples, even saying "the guardian god is too restrictive" in public would result in arrest and execution.
Why did Wen Lanzhi burn down the demon world's temple? Why else could it be?
Isn't it just to go to heaven? She wanted to save him, but there was no way, so she could only burn the temple.
Wu Ci Yan covered half of his face and breathed a long sigh of relief. The obsession that was right in front of him could be easily known by asking around in Heaven, yet he had been searching for it for almost seven years.
Murong asked, "I remember you destroyed Qin Feng after you lost your memory. What were you thinking at that time?"
Wu Ciyan had almost forgotten about Qin Feng. He carefully recalled his mood at that time and said, "You probably don't like him."
He took another sip of tea, calmed down, and said, "I still have a question. Didn't I save her and take her away? Why didn't she... No, I saw it after she woke up."
"Hmm?" Murong waited to hear what he had to say next.
Wu Ciyan said, "After I woke up, I walked out of the house and took a few steps. I heard a loud noise. I went over and saw her hands and feet tied, about to be thrown into the frying pan. I saved her. She was very weak at the time and could no longer transform into a human form. I happened to have an elixir in my purse, so I gave it to her, and then she ran away."
"Then when did she lose her memory..." Wu Ci Yan pondered.
Murong said, "Being captured and taken to Heaven, and having his consciousness wiped out, is quite normal, right?"
Wu Ciyan didn't respond.
Wen Lanzhi looked at the embroidery until her eyes were dazzled. She wanted to rest, but the embroiderers refused to go back. No matter where she went, she was surrounded by them. She had no choice but to run to the foot of the wall outside the palace.
"Hey girl!"
Wen Lanzhi was startled by the sound and turned around to see a man dressed as a Taoist priest setting up a stall with a large sign that read "Fortune Telling and Face Reading" next to him. She looked down and saw a yellow cloth under her feet.
"Sorry, sorry." Wen Lanzhi quickly moved to the side, avoiding his stall.
She was curious and looked at his flag again, "There are fortune tellers in the demon world."
"I was traveling around and came across the Imperial City, so I came in to take a look." The Taoist stroked his beard, "I calculated that you and I are destined to be together, so I came here specially to wait for you, young lady."
"You knew I was coming?" Wen Lanzhi asked doubtfully.
The Taoist said, "Of course. Otherwise, why wouldn't I set up my stall somewhere crowded, but here at the foot of a wall where there's no one?"
It seems to make sense.
Wen Lanzhi responded, "That's fate, hello."
The Taoist priest clasped his hands together, nodded at her, and said, "There's a dark spot between the girl's eyebrows, it seems there's evil!"
"What evil?" Wen Lanzhi squatted down and listened to him carefully.
He looked troubled and said, "If this evil is not eliminated, I'm afraid the girl won't survive more than three months."
"What!" Wen Lanzhi fell to the ground. "Is there any solution?"
He shook the bamboo tube and said, "Girl, draw the lot."
Wen Lanzhi drew a lot and handed it to him.
He took a look and said, "This is a bad omen!"
"Then what should we do?" Wen Lanzhi asked hurriedly.
He said, "Like I said, it will be difficult for three months. It's easy to get rid of the evil spirit. I have medicine to do it. It only costs one or two ounces of gold."
"One ounce of gold..." Wen Lanzhi had saved quite a bit of money as a dancer before. Although one ounce of gold was a lot for her, it was not something she couldn't afford. "I didn't take that much money this time."
The Taoist priest said, "It's okay. I'll wait here for you, young lady. Once you bring me the money, I'll give you the antidote."
Wen Lanzhi asked, "Can't this evil be dispelled by sorcery?"
The Taoist priest shook his head slowly, pretending to be profound. "Ethics are being corrupted, morality is being violated, and good things are being destroyed. Evil spirits are the spirits that corrupt morality and damage civilization. Evil spirits are ugly and evil things that linger. People with evil spirits, if they are often exposed to such corrupting and damaging spirits, will inevitably experience imbalances in yin and yang, damaging their yin and morality. If this continues, the evil spirits will accumulate and become difficult to reverse, and they will inevitably be shattered into pieces and die a miserable death."
Wen Lanzhi didn't understand the first part of the long sentence, but she understood the last two words, "So the sorcery can't be broken?"
The Taoist shook his head and said, "Alas, the monster is full of Yin energy and lacks Yang energy. This evil must be solved with Yang energy. There is no solution to this evil."
Wen Lanzhi stood there in a daze for a long time.
Although she didn't feel that hardship before, it was not the life she wanted. Now, the life she wanted has come. She has friends who like her and a husband who can make her happy. But she will not live long.
She couldn't die, so she stood up, left a message saying "I'll get you the money", and ran back quickly.
The embroiderer couldn't stop her. She ran and cried, pushed away the embroiderer who was blocking her way, and ran all the way to the room. She searched the room and finally found a gold hairpin in the package.
But when she returned, the Taoist priest had disappeared.
The golden hairpin in her hand fell to the ground, and she was stunned and distraught.
Parrot Twelve noticed her, walked over, picked up the golden hairpin she had dropped on the ground, and put it back into her hand, "Madam, what's wrong?"
Wen Lanzhi quickly asked, "Did you see the Taoist priest who was here just now?"
Parrot Old Ten said, "I saw it. He was a charlatan who tricked his way into the demon world. We drove him away."
"No, he's not a liar!" Wen Lanzhi shouted, "He knew I would come to him, that we were destined to be together! He waited here for me! My life is in his hands!"
Parrot Old Ten was stunned. "Madam, what are you talking about?"
Parrot Twelve understood, "Did he tell you that your forehead is black and there will be a bloody disaster?"
Wen Lanzhi didn't quite remember what she said, but she seemed to have said something about blackening.
She nodded.
Parrot Ten rolled his eyes, and Parrot Twelve said with a smile, "Madam, you should tell him that my black hair is a good omen."
"But……"
"That's a liar." Parrot Twelve interrupted her. "There are no such Taoist priests in the demon world, but there are many in the mortal world. This one is still a shallow Taoist. He didn't even ask what the demon world is. He dared to come to the demon world to promote the immortals. He doesn't want to live anymore."
Parrot Old Ten said, "Luckily he set up his stall at the foot of the wall, where there were few people. If he had set up his stall on the street, he would have been lucky not to have been beaten to death."
"No, he's not that incompetent." Wen Lanzhi defended, "He said a lot."
"I've told you a lot." Parrot Twelve pushed her towards the palace. "Madam, please go back to the palace and rest. We will take care of the patrol."
Wen Lanzhi was about to continue arguing, but the two men had already returned to patrol.
Wen Lanzhi looked at the golden hairpin in her hand and shed two lines of tears.
Now that the Taoist priest is gone, there is really no one who can save her life.
What to do now, what to do now...
She wandered the streets for half a day, lost in thought, wondering how she would spend her final months. Since the sorcery was unsolvable, she didn't plan to tell Wu Ciyan about it, to avoid worrying him.
Maybe she should find a place to die in peace.
Wu Ciyan would be very sad if that happened.
Maybe I should find some time to go to the mortal world and see if there are any such Taoists and ask them.
"Hey!" A familiar voice called her.
Wu Ciyan was waiting at the door of the store, holding an umbrella. "What are you doing hiding here?"
He glanced at the shop and said with a smile, "You've already hidden in the umbrella shop. Don't you know how to buy an umbrella to take home?"
Seeing that Wen Lanzhi didn't move, he urged, "Still standing there? Let's go!"
Wen Lanzhi said "Oh" and hurriedly trotted out of the store. Wu Ciyan took a few steps forward and caught her before she left the store to prevent her from getting wet in the rain.
She was so absorbed in her thoughts that the distance between her and Wu Ci Yan grew farther and farther, and Wu Ci Yan's umbrella became increasingly tilted.
Wu Ciyan lowered his head. "Why are you so far away from me? Are you in a bad mood?"
Wen Lanzhi was surprised and asked, "How did you know?"
Wu Ciyan said, "You look like you're about to cry."
Wen Lanzhi asked, "What is Yang Qi?"
This involves a blind spot in knowledge.
It doesn’t matter. Wen Lanzhi just asked casually and Wu Ciyan just talked casually.
He said, "When you get too much sun, you sweat and that stinking smell you get is Yang Qi."
Wen Lanzhi asked again: "What about the Yin Qi?"
Wu Ciyan said, "When it's cloudy and rainy, the water vapor in the air is Yin Qi."
Wen Lanzhi asked, "What if a person has a strong yin energy?"
"Then..." Wu Ciyan paused for a moment, "Get more sun?"
