Chapter 63 Another Liu Weimin

  The mountain is not a place for talking, after putting away those messy things. We then hugged You Wu down the mountain. And Xu Qi knew about my affairs in general. It was Shi Po Xiao Bai who told him.

  In many things, Liu Weimin did not lie. He just didn't say, and the first time he deceived us was about Xiao Bai's departure.

  She wasn't heartbroken and ran away, but was beaten by Liu Weimin.

  But she followed You Wu from a distance. At first, she didn't know what Liu Weimin wanted to do, and later she realized that something was wrong and wanted to warn You Wu. Taking advantage of Liu Weimin's absence, she sneaked into the reception room but was discovered by San Sao, fortunately, San Sao was just Liu Weimin's informant in Guanxi Village. Without any real skills, the old lady got on her body, after learning about Liu Weimin's plan, Xiao Bai went to Longhu Mountain to get reinforcements.

  I said Xiao Bai was really something. Found out Liu Wei Min wasn't right, took Yu Wu and left, but at the critical moment he was still being stubborn, ended up harming himself.

  Xu Qi made excuses for her, but at that time, You Wu's mind was filled with thoughts of getting promoted and making a fortune, so he might not have believed her words. Even if Xiao Bai could use emotions to coerce him, You Wu couldn't abandon me, and I wouldn't give up on Wen Jing either. Besides, after learning about Liu Wei Min's identity from San Sao, Xiao Bai also understood that if we escaped back to our old nest, we would ruin Liu Wei Min's big plan, and when the time came, he would be furious and come after us, making it even harder to deal with.

  Xiaobai's skills were passed down through her family, but she had no background or connections to rely on. All she could do was help people calm their souls, and she didn't even have a skill to make a living. These years, she barely managed to scrape together enough food to eat. She looked pretty and was easily bullied, so she often pretended to be a stern aunt. If Huang Jibai hadn't run to Wenmiao Street to block her family's door, she wouldn't have revealed her true face.

  This poor and sentimental woman, the only way she could think of to save us was to go to Mount Longhu to find Xu Qi, hoping that through my relationship I could persuade her to help. At that time, Xu Qi had just returned to the Taoist temple and was also preparing to contact me again. After seeing Xiaobai, she brought her fellow disciples to hurry over, but unexpectedly still arrived too late.

  So it seems that the necklace's appearance should be the old lady's own doing?

  I was pondering, when Xu Qi let out a sigh and said: "Fortunately we arrived late, if we had come an hour earlier, in order to protect you from that old man, I'm afraid the Ming Dao Guan would have been severed from its inheritance."

  I glared at him fiercely, and Xu Qi comforted: "Don't worry, those coffins were buried by Yuan Jitian, our Taoist lineage inherited from his. As long as you're willing to work hard, it's not impossible to rescue Xiao Bai. What you should be worried about right now is yourself."

  I turned to look at the body being held by the Taoist, the blood had stopped flowing. I asked Xu Qi: "Is this really my body? But I don't have any feeling, I'm not afraid of the sun, I can eat and drink, and when I see a woman, I still have thoughts."

  Xu Qi said, as long as it's a male ghost, seeing a female ghost will have ideas, being able to eat and drink is also a good explanation, ghosts need to eat too, right? As for saying not afraid of the sun, this is the difference between yin and yang spirits.

  Yin soul is a ghost, full of yin energy. Once exposed to sunlight, it will melt away like ice and snow. The soul of a living person is called the life soul, which is a product of the harmony between yin and yang. Yin energy is inherent in the soul, while yang energy is produced by the living body through exposure to sunlight and consumption of grains. If the life soul leaves the body for an extended period without receiving yang energy replenishment, it will transform into a yin soul. Conversely, if the body lacks nourishment from yin energy, it will gradually decay and eventually become a dead ghost.

  Yang soul and yin soul are different, also known as external incarnation, this is the ultimate goal of Taoist practitioners, which is to refine one's own soul into another more free body, commonly known as yuan shen, often appears in novels, but basically does not exist in reality.

  The nine provinces are vast and lie hidden dragons, Xu Qi dare not guarantee that there is no master who has cultivated the externalization of his body, but we can see that people definitely cannot cultivate it, because this kind of person can no longer be considered human.

  And now, my current state should be a kind of pseudo-yang soul, just like Wen Jing being called back by her master after death, still watching movies at home during the day, because the strange fish in the toilet kept spitting out yin energy to nourish her.

  That night, I was photographed by the horse-faced monster and my soul was taken out. The reason why Xu Qi didn't let me turn back was that he was worried that I would be frightened and lose my physical body, and the phrase "soul flying away" wouldn't be an exaggeration, but a reality. Fortunately, when I saw it later, I was worried about Xu Qi and didn't associate it with that aspect, otherwise, I would have died on the spot.

  Later, Liu Weimin must have done something to me, temporarily turning into a fake yang soul, and my body's injuries are severe. Now that I've returned to my body, if the injuries can't be treated, I'll really die. But if I don't return to my body, who knows how long Liu Weimin's tricks will last? This is what worries me the most.

  I asked him what he could do about it.

  Xu Qi said that the only way he could think of was to seek help from a superior while having me practice some basic Qigong exercises, which belong to the category of Qigong, first replenish the "qi" in Jing Qi Shen, at least it can drag on for a period of time.

  I said then let's learn, being a martial arts master is not bad either. Xu Qi nodded and said to spare time to teach me, also reminding several key points, such as going out early and late, trying to avoid the scorching sun.

  When we arrived at the village entrance, Xu Qi let his three junior brothers go to discuss with the village officials about the aftermath. After all, Village Chief Xu Shulin was dead, and the village couldn't afford to make a scene. He followed us back to the reception office, I still had many questions to ask him.

  The three-story building was dark, with only one room lit up. San Shu had been beaten to death by Liu Weimin, who had broken half of her ribs. The old lady on top of her had disappeared, and it was unknown whether she had been beaten to death again or had slipped away quietly.

  In the room, Kang Jiuxiang was hugging a quilt and sleeping sweetly. I didn't disturb him, so I found an open room and put You Wu inside, then told Xu Qi everything from start to finish, both what he knew and what he didn't know.

  But Xu Qi listened and stared blankly at the chest of my body, where a strange face was carved, seemingly smiling but not quite, seemingly crying but not quite.

  I waved my hand in front of his eyes and asked, "What are you thinking about? Are you going to answer me or not? What's the relationship between that old tribal leader and me?"

  Xu Qi cried and laughed: "How would I know? Listening to you say that, the only thing I can be sure of is that Liu Weimin is looking for something."

  I'm telling you this isn't nonsense, am I?

  Xu Qi said seriously: "It's not nonsense, think about what kind of person Liu Weimin is and what kind of person Huang Jinbai is, huh!" Xu Qi let out a strange cry, gritted his teeth, and coldly snorted: "That Xu Shulin can do it, having dealt with him for many years, I didn't expect that this kid had two faces, this also shows that they are both tough guys, one sworn to secrecy, the other relentless in pursuit. Therefore, I dare say, what Liu Weimin is searching for is a treasure that will shock heaven and earth."

  Seeing the hopeful look on his face, I asked: "You're also tempted, aren't you?"

  Xu Qi smiled and said that scholars and scientists are almost the same, sometimes they are both quite stubborn, and they are all studying the secrets of this world, just in different ways. To say that he was not moved by Liu Weimin's goal would be a lie.

  I said Liu Weimin got some clues from Guai Lian and 24 words, think about it too.

  He then analyzed it for me, "Rong Deng Jiu Wu" is a great freedom, a great confusion. This sentence means that when you become an emperor, it's not enjoyable, but also very confusing. The first two sentences are still understandable, but what does the emperor have to be confused about?

  I asked him what "Jī jiàn chéng xiān" means, and Xǔ qí told me to just think of it as a very powerful ghost that doesn't need reincarnation. According to legend, some Taoist priests use this method to achieve immortality.

  The corpse transforms into an immortal, is a great tribulation, is a great liberation. This sentence can also be circled and dotted, the great liberation is easy to understand, but what is the great tribulation?

  Xu Qi wants to deliberate carefully for a while and says that once there is a result, he will contact me again and take me to get Liu Weimin's treasure.

  I'd rather not, tell him that I never want to see that old man again in this lifetime. When You Wu wakes up, ask him what he plans to do. If he's heartbroken, introduce him to follow Xu Qi to cultivate and rescue Little White Sister in the future. As for me, I'll cultivate on one side and guard Kang Jiuxiang and my cousin on the other, living life day by day.

  Xu Qi scolded me for talking nonsense, but once there was a clue, I, as his apprentice, had to follow him closely.

  I didn't want to dwell on this matter, just wanted to change the subject, but suddenly someone shouted out: "No way, you haven't told me about that horse-faced monster yet!"

  I thought Xu Qi had forgotten, but unexpectedly he smiled awkwardly, it seems that he was intentionally hiding it from me. I hurried to ask him again, but he kept waving his hand and said this matter cannot be told to me. Anyway, after I left that night, he escaped all the way back to Longhu Mountain.

  He was biting his teeth, and they were at a stalemate. Just then, You Wei's phone rang. I picked it up and saw that it was Xiao Mei calling, so I answered it on my own initiative.

  I'll be the first to tell you, my name is Wang Zhen, I'm a friend of You Wu's. Your grandfather's notes are about things that happened at my house.

  She had just finished speaking when a barrage of curses came from the phone. She said I was the main culprit who killed her grandfather.

  I had no choice but to apologize repeatedly until Xiao Mei scolded enough, and told You Wu not to answer the phone. I said he was injured and temporarily inconvenient, and if there's anything, I'll pass it on.

  Xiao Mei said: "I helped you find Old Man Liu Wei, hurry back and ask him to save your life! If you die outside, it would be a waste of my grandfather's kindness!"

  "What? You've found Liu Weimin?"

  Xiao Mei said it was true, and Old Man Liu was right next to her.

  After a pause, a gentle and slightly aged male voice came from the phone, saying: "Hello little friend, I am Liu Weimin. What do you need help with? Just speak up!"
