Chapter 191: Chapter 171 Body of Ignorance?_1
Zhao Chenming’s words took everyone by surprise.
A Heavenly Master?
“A Heavenly Master… How is that possible? Such special individuals only exist within the Heavenly Realm…”
“It is said that Heavenly Masters are beings specialized in suppressing Yin spirits; their lineage is extremely unique and secretive. In the Lower World, I’ve never heard of such a thing!”
“How could one be in this realm? If there truly exists a Heavenly Master, perhaps they could suppress the evil ghosts!”
The leaders of many ancient forces began to speak one after another.
Within the many states of the Southwest Domain, many ancient forces have longstanding traditions, connected to the Immortal Domain in countless ways, so they are somewhat aware of the rumors circulating within the Immortal Domain!
At this moment, a wave of discussions erupted.
“Rest assured, my lords, we have now invited that Heavenly Master here!”
Zhao Chenming called out loudly, “Please, Heavenly Master!”
He reached out towards the void!
In an instant, from within that void, a silhouette stepped forward!
It was a middle-aged man dressed in a yellow Taoist robe, holding a horsetail whisk, and wearing a Taoist crown on his head!
He appeared to have a celestial and refined aura, with a blue beard, embodying the very image of a wise sage!
All eyes were on this Taoist.
They scrutinized him, with varying degrees of skepticism and disbelief.
After all, the lineage of a Heavenly Master is far too scarce; even within the Immortal Domain, they are mostly legends.
“I am the one hundred and thirty-second disciple of the San Dou Mi Dao’s Thunder Spirit True Monarch, Daoist Huang Lei!”
The yellow-robed Taoist said indifferently:
“I was originally in secluded cultivation, not engaging with the world; however, the disturbances caused by Yin ghosts could not be ignored, so I emerged to capture them!”
After he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand.
In his palm, a bunch of small white soul banners immediately appeared!
The moment those white soul banners appeared, a chilling yin wind swept through the area!
“It’s that kind of aura!”
“It really is the atmosphere of Yin ghosts!”
“He… Is he truly a Heavenly Master?”
Everyone was shocked.
Daoist Huang Lei sneered, saying:
“In my life, I have captured countless ghosts, all imprisoned within this Zhen Gui Fan.”
Upon hearing this, all the leaders present no longer dared to harbor the slightest doubt!
“We’ve seen Daoist Huang Lei!”
“Daoist Huang Lei’s emergence to capture ghosts is truly a boundless merit!”
“We now stand a chance!”
They all spoke excitedly.
But, Daoist Huang Lei said indifferently:
“However, to subdue the fierce ghost this time will not be easy.”
“I need to set up the ‘Six Ding and Six Jia Formation’ to attract the ghost here, trap it, and to set up the Six Ding and Six Jia Formation, I require six hundred children of exceptional talent, both boys and girls!”
“Now, quickly bring forth the young prodigies from your Sect Gates as contribution!”
As he spoke, a shadow of darkness flashed in his eyes.
On hearing this, the leaders of the numerous forces all changed their expressions.
Contributing the young talents of their Sect Gates…
That’s their future, after all.
“If we cannot get through this ordeal, there will be no talking about the future!”
At this time, Zhao Chenming of the Xuanming Dynasty said directly:
“Our Xuanming Dynasty will contribute twenty boys and girls with talented bloodlines!”
Seeing this, other major Sect Gates also reluctantly agreed.
Immediately, each Sect Gate began frantically searching for children with talented bloodlines!
…
In the imperial capital of Xuanming Dynasty.
On the streets.
An elderly man, extremely thin and clad in ragged garments like a beggar, was holding a battered bamboo placard that read “Fortune and Misfortune, Suppressing Ghosts, Expelling Demons” in large characters!
“Disciple, your master is so hungry I can’t walk anymore, hurry and buy me something to eat.”
The old man was panting somewhat as he spoke to the young man accompanying him.
The young man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a bundle on his back, and looked rather shrewd as he said:
“Master, you’re not hungry; it’s just your old gluttony acting up again. We haven’t opened for business in three months, where are we going to get money for food!”
The elder’s eyes bulged:
“You unfilial disciple, didn’t you make thirty taels of silver last time by feeling that lady’s bones?”
The young man complained:
“Master, that lady came to you for bone touching because she was infertile. Right after you touched her bones, she got pregnant, and her husband chased us for eight streets with a knife… We returned most of the money, and even had to apologize and make reparations!”
Hearing this, the elder’s old face flushed, saying:
“The goodness of people is not what it used to be, not what it used to be. I used my great magical power to connect the meridians for that lady, yet I was misunderstood by the world…”
“Enough, enough, I know you’ve been wronged, old man.”
The young man spoke up, also laughing.
“Good disciple, your master knows you’ve always been thrifty and managed the household well. Go buy a few steamed buns for your master. If I’m not full, how can I prevent your Uncle Huang Lei from doing evil?”
The elder pleaded.
The young man sighed, “Master, what is this about? There are only two of us left from the San Dou Mi Dao in the Lower World, you and Uncle Huang Lei. Why are you still fighting each other every day?”
The elder said: “Different paths do not work together, and as fellow sect members, we must prevent him from doing evil. Moreover, your Uncle Huang Lei wasn’t always like this. He only turned bad after he saw the death of our master and lost hope of returning to the Immortal Domain…”
As he spoke, the elder sighed and said, “It’s all my fault.”
The young man understood that his master was about to repeat his usual narrative and said:
“Yes, yes…It’s all because you should not have fallen in love with the Saintess of San Dou Mi Dao back then, which implicated our ancestor, River Spirit Child, and Uncle Huang Lei. The three of you, master and disciples, were thus banished from the Heavenly Realm… Master, I can almost recite it by heart.”
His eyes darted, “Master, what was the name of that Saintess you were in love with back then? Was she pretty?”
“You unfilial disciple, are you asking for a beating…”
Yet, the elder raised his hand.
The young man dodged it and promptly took out two copper coins from his pocket, smiling:
“No hitting, Master. Fortunately, I still have some private money. Wait for me; I’m going to buy meat buns.”
He knew that when his master had subdued a yin ghost in the past, a good portion of his three souls and seven spirits were consumed, leading to a great appetite as a mere side effect. Naturally, he also couldn’t bear to see his master truly suffer.
…
At the moment, on the street.
Gong Ya and Xinning were strolling around casually.
Xinning was like a little girl, curious about everything around her.
“I want to eat buns.”
Xinning spoke, her eyes shining at the sight of the delicious meat buns.
“Alright!”
Gong Ya also smiled. She quite liked the current Xinning, constantly amazed at how much Li Fan had influenced the Demon Monarch.
The once ruthless Demon Monarch, who had killed countless people without blinking, was now like a normal little girl, with her own sense of right and wrong, good and evil.
Gong Ya and Xinning stepped forward to buy buns right away.
At that moment, a teenager dressed in coarse clothes came running over and said:
“Boss, two meat buns!”
Upon seeing this, Xinning said, “Boss, I also want two.”
The teenager, hearing this, subconsciously glanced at Xinning.
Just this one glance frightened him, and his face went pale, “No… you… you…”
He dropped his meat buns and ran away.
As he ran back, he almost bumped into his master, and with urgency, said:
“Master, I… I saw the Body of Ignorance!”
At this moment, the elder immediately struck the young man on the head, saying:
“What are you yelling for? What ‘Body of Ignorance’? Where in the Lower World would you find the Body of Ignorance?”
The elder simply didn’t believe it.
“Master, it’s true!”
The young man said with a bitter face, grabbing his master and turning around to take his master to see.
But as he turned his head, he saw a little girl had already appeared in front of them.
The little girl was eating a meat bun, mumbling through a full mouth:
“What are you trying to do?”
It was Xinning!
Gong Ya was following behind her, her beautiful eyes flashing a hint of wariness at the moment.
The master and disciple pair, seeing Xinning and Gong Ya, were taken aback.
Especially the elder!
He looked Xinning up and down, in disbelief, saying:
“No… How could the Body of Ignorance appear in the Lower World… Where good and evil intertwine, where the divine and demonic share one body…”
He stepped forward excitedly, looking at Xinning and said:
“You… your bones are exceptional, suitable to be my disciple!”
