Chapter 349: Metaphysics in the Entertainment Circle 64 (End)
Just as he was wondering who was the right person, he caught a glimpse of the peach wood sword that he had just given to Zuo Jiayin, and his eyes lit up instantly.
Hey! I almost forgot about Xiao Lin, this killer weapon.
On the surface, he was confronting the old ghost to test his willpower, but secretly he sent a message to Xiao Lin in the space, telling him a brief account of the situation outside.
Of course Xiao Lin readily agreed to this good thing.
Ghost King level! If it absorbs this, it can also cross a large class!
The old ghost was afraid of Xiao Yun's cultivation level or other hidden cards, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He kept urging the ghost domain to destroy the barrier, trying to find the flaw.
His mouth was not idle either, he kept chattering, trying to get some information out of him.
Xiao Yun also had a conversation with the other party. Her purpose was to attract the other party's attention so that Xiao Lin could approach him smoothly.
Watching the two people bickering with each other like newbies, Zuo Jiayin and Liu Ying went from being nervous and ready to fight at any time at the beginning to being completely confused.
Isn't this so different from the earth-shattering battle they imagined? Do masters fight with their mouths?
Xiao Yun didn't care what the two of them thought. He deliberately guessed the other party's previous identity, asking if the other party was a traitor or a deserter. This made the other party so angry that they jumped up and down, and they kept looking at Xiao Lin to see if he had come out.
Although she asked Xiao Lin to put up an invisibility talisman, in the opponent's ghost domain, Xiao Lin's cultivation was lower than the opponent's, so it would be difficult to hide his whereabouts.
Fortunately, Xiao Lin was smarter than she thought. He rushed out of the space and went behind the old ghost directly. He successfully appeared behind the old ghost. By the time the old ghost found something wrong, Xiao Lin was already on top of him and sucking him wildly.
No matter how he struggled, even using the ghost domain shock, he was unable to escape at all. Fortunately, Xiao Yun had set up a barrier in advance, otherwise Zuo Jiayin, Liu Ying and those who were captured for sacrifice would have been temporarily sucked away by the old ghost to replenish their soul power.
The old ghost saw that there was really no way out. His soul power had been sucked away almost completely. The ghost domain could no longer be maintained and was shattered like glass. If this continued, he would be sucked dry. But even if he wanted to run, he couldn't. In desperation, he wanted to take them with him to die.
"Not good! He's going to blow himself up!"
Seeing the other party's gradually shriveled soul begin to swell, Zuo Jiayin and Liu Ying screamed in fright.
It was impossible to make him self-destruct. As his soul power surged, Xiao Lin sucked more freely, causing the old ghost's body to swell up and deflate like a balloon that was constantly being inflated and deflated, swelling up and deflated...
Finally, the body, which was fluctuating between fat and thin, began to shrink vertically, from 1.9 meters to 1.8 meters, 1.7 meters, 1.6 meters... and finally became a three-inch nail!
The tall and mighty general turned into a shriveled old man. The armor that appeared on his body was gone, and only a few broken chains and leather pieces were left hanging on his body...
Xiao Yun's eyes twitched and he looked away. It was too hot for the eyes.
The old ghost's eyes and face were full of unwillingness. His thousands of years of hard work had ended in vain, and in such a... depressing way.
He wanted to transform into a ghost to seek revenge but he couldn't. He was a ghost now and could only let out a long howl before completely disappearing into the air.
The invisibility talisman on Xiao Lin's body was destroyed by the old ghost's ghost domain at the beginning, so now his body shape is visible. It is three times larger than before, from the size of a palm to thirty centimeters tall. His facial features are also more three-dimensional, more delicate and cute.
It burped and glanced at Xiao Yun. Seeing there was a stranger there, it didn't speak to Xiao Yun and just flashed back into the space.
Zuo Jiayin and Liu Ying were a little afraid and curious at first. They had never seen such a powerful little wooden man. It didn't look like a puppet, but they didn't dare to approach it.
This back hall had already returned to its original appearance with the disappearance of his ghost domain. The cages formed by soul power had disappeared, leaving only dozens of unconscious animals and humans on the ground.
They had not had time to take a closer look before, but now they realized that there was no statue in the back hall, only a portrait on the wall and rows of tablets on the trapezoidal shelves.
Xiao Yun took a look and saw that the surnames were the same, so they were obviously from the same family. This might be a family temple or ancestral hall.
Looking at the person in the portrait, it was exactly the old ghost from before.
Unexpectedly, this was the place where the other party was enshrined. Xiao Yun sent a message to Xiao Lin, asking it if it had received the old ghost's memory.
It really exists. This old ghost is called Yang Ji. He was a border guarding general in the Tang Dynasty. He died on the battlefield. It is meritorious for him to sacrifice his life for the country, but he committed too many sins of killing during his lifetime and even massacred a village. These sins cannot be offset, so his soul has to be locked in hell to be punished.
Before his death, he accidentally obtained a book of evil cultivation techniques, which contained the method of ghost cultivation. After hearing the verdict, he ran away during the escort and hid somewhere to practice.
He started out by using the negative energy from the cemetery to practice, but later he discovered that those wandering ghosts were afraid of him. It turned out that the murderous aura in his body had turned him into an evil ghost. Now, he didn't even have to hide and began to directly devour those wandering ghosts.
Soon he became a fierce ghost... a ghost soldier... a ghost general. After becoming a ghost general, he began to devour the souls of the living, that is, he extracted the souls from the living.
Until he became the King of Ghosts. Later, the spiritual energy in this world became less, the cultivators all lived in seclusion, and the ghost messengers from the underworld were rarely seen. So he went straight back to his ancestral land and lived in his own ancestral hall.
The residual soul in the soul-containing bead is actually his descendant. He taught the method of evil cultivation to his descendants, and only this descendant learned it well. However, he did not expect that when he was trying to capture the soul of a cultivator, he hit a wall and captured the son of the leader of a secluded sect who came out to gain experience.
Now that he was killed, he was the only one who could practice, and he couldn't just give up. He went out to find the remaining soul and raised it in the Soul-Nourishing Orb.
It was an accident that this bead fell into Chen Fangyun's hands. The soul-containing bead was inlaid on the crown of the statue in this Taoist temple. I don't know if it fell off over the years and was picked up by Chen Fangyun who came out for an outing and drew lots.
Of course, Chen Fangyun did give the pendant to Chen Fangfei on purpose, because the residual soul in the pendant sensed her negative emotions and directly bewitched her, saying that he could help her get all the property of the Chen family.
As for the remnant soul, it is now in one of the tablets on the shelf. He originally wanted to watch the ancestor's sacrifice before returning the beads, but he didn't expect that someone would come to him through him and cause the ancestor's soul to be scattered.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun waved his hand, and a tablet with Yang Yuanjiang's name on it in the second row spontaneously ignited without any fire, and turned into ashes in a moment...
The Yang Family Ancestral Hall was nearly destroyed during those ten years. It was saved because the old ghost Yang Ji used his soul power to set up a concealment formation.
Later, after the opening up, all the members of the Yang family were gone, so he converted this place into a Taoist temple, in order to prevent it from being taken over by the state and demolished, thus cutting off the incense offerings, and also to keep people coming here.
Because of the ghosts, there has never been a real Taoist priest living there. The one who interpreted the fortunes earlier was a swindler in the past. He only had a vague understanding of these things and interpreted the fortunes by reading a book.
Xiao Yun did not say anything to Zuo Jiayin and the others about this. Instead, he walked forward and looked with them at the people and animals piled on the ground.
She didn't care about the people, anyway, they were either disciples of a sect or independent practitioners, they were all cultivators. She was more interested in some beasts, especially the black and white ball, which turned out to be a spirit beast. She opened her third eye and saw that there were faint contract runes on its body.
This is too much! How can you treat a cute rolling thing like this! He waved his hand and cast a rune, which directly ended the contract on it. He pretended not to see the middle-aged man vomiting blood not far away and put the rolling thing into the space.
She has wanted to get one for a long time.
Ignoring Zuo Jiayin and the other person who were giving her complicated looks, they wandered over to the demon beast and the monster beast. The demon beast was a white ape with no contract and a low level. It was just a demon soldier. After thinking about it, they put it into the space.
It’s nothing about the monster, it’s just a black lizard, too ugly, she doesn’t like it.
Zuo Jiayin and Liu Ying watched her picking out the storage tools from those people, and then looked at the man who had vomited blood and was still twitching. They all twitched their lips. They didn't expect her to be like this.
However, the two were not going to say anything, and they both planned to pretend that they didn't see it. This was also a resource, and it was not excessive to consider it as a reward for saving them.
Xiao Yun walked to the last person, turned over his body, and found that it was an acquaintance.
It was the soul cultivator that was released from the highest peak. I didn't expect that this guy also capsized in the gutter. Although his cultivation was higher than that of the old ghost, he was also trapped here.
Looking at the other person's limp body and almost transparent skin, it seems that the old ghost has sucked a lot of his soul power.
For the sake of the fact that I had robbed him once before, I won't rob him this time.
It should be because of his soul cultivation that he recovered faster than the other cultivators. While the others were still in a deep coma, he was about to wake up.
After about a minute, the other person's eyelids trembled a few times and then he opened his eyes.
He looked around and then at Xiao Yun who was not far away from him. He did not recognize him, but he knew that he was saved by the person in front of him.
He stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Yun, "Thank you for saving me, fellow Taoist. I am Shen Junyue, a soul cultivator. I have nothing left in this difficult time. Please leave your name, and I will definitely report back when I have the chance."
Xiao Yun also realized that he had been plundered by the old ghost, and all the things on him were for cultivating his soul power. The old ghost could also use the things on him, so how could he leave them for him?
He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "No need to do that. I work for the Supernatural Division, and it is my duty to eliminate these evil practitioners. If I encounter other colleagues from the Supernatural Division in the future, I can just help them a little."
Seeing this, the other party did not insist and bowed deeply again, "Jun Yue will remember the kindness of fellow Taoist and the Spiritual Department."
After saying this, he left.
Xiao Yun looked at his back and shook his head secretly. This guy had a really miserable life in this world. He was previously detained by Yue Xingyi as a thug. It wasn't long after she released him, but he was trapped by an old ghost again. He probably never had freedom in this world.
Xiao Yun didn't want to care about the remaining cultivators, but Liu Ying couldn't ignore them. After they woke up one after another, she went up to them and asked them about their condition. She also registered them to see if there were any independent cultivators who could be won over. This was a job she was quite familiar with.
The monster was also put into the beast bag Xiao Yun gave her, to prevent it from causing trouble after it recovered. It would then be sent to the headquarters of the Supernatural Department to see what they said, whether to keep it or release it.
There are forty-two cultivators in total, only nineteen of whom are from sects, and the other twenty-three are independent cultivators.
Fifteen people were ready to join the Supernatural Department right there. They felt that the Supernatural Department was much more powerful than they had imagined, and none of the big sects had come to rescue their disciples.
The people from the Supernatural Department arrived very quickly. They were the ones who were working nearby and arrived in more than half an hour. The follow-up was left to them to handle. The three of them went straight down the mountain to meet up with Assistant Zuo Jiayin and returned to the Chen family.
After the matter was settled, the Chen family wanted to give a large sum of money as a thank you, and at the same time curry favor with the Supernatural Department. Xiao Yun refused, and directly asked Chen Fangfei to invest in a drama and let her and Zuo Jiayin act in it. She had not forgotten her original intention of wanting to enter the entertainment industry.
Zuo Jiayin was not doing well in this line of work and was thinking of changing career to join the supernatural department, but she did not expect that things would take a turn and she would get to play the female lead in a TV series.
Of course, Xiao Yun is also the female lead, this is a drama with two female leads.
Because the Nebula Entertainment where Zuo Jiayin worked had no intention of targeting Xiao Yun, she had no intention of taking action against them.
As the heroine, Zuo Jiayin is still moving forward according to her storyline. She either encounters someone who raises a ghost, someone who borrows her luck, or someone who casts a spell. Xiao Yun is having a lot of fun watching her beside her.
As Zuo Jiayin's reputation in metaphysics grew, she also got the opportunities that she deserved in the plot, and her cultivation began to increase rapidly.
In addition, Xiao Yun had secretly helped several times, and her cultivation level was even higher than that in her original world, so Liuxianmen wanted her to go back and inherit the sect.
But Zuo Jiayin didn't want to. After entering the secular world, she felt that practicing outside was better, faster and more interesting than being trapped in a sect. Besides, she was reluctant to give up the few young men she had just recruited.
The heroine had meat to eat, and Xiao Yun also got a lot of the streaky ribs. Well, it was impossible for him to just drink the soup, after all, he was considered a well-known resource guy.
She has been in the entertainment industry for fifty years and has dated five men of different types. As long as the one she likes is single, she will hit it off immediately.
Fifty years later, she was tired of playing in the entertainment industry and began to return to Qinglong Temple. Except when the Supernatural Department came to find her, she was "retreating" in Qinglong Temple.
She did work hard on her cultivation afterwards, but her original body had limitations and she didn't want to transform. If her cultivation level was too high, her lifespan would increase, and she still had to leave.
Five hundred years later, Qinglong Temple became a well-known place in this world, because after Sui Xin broke through the golden elixir, it was as if he had been blessed with a cheat code, and he entered the Mahayana stage within five hundred years.
This is the strength of the ancestor of the secluded sect. Unlike their ancestor who has been in seclusion all the time, he is active outside.
The cultivation levels of several senior brothers and sisters have reached the Spirit Transformation stage or above. Even the fourth senior brother and fifth senior sister, who usually like to hang out in the secular world, have broken through to the Spirit Transformation stage.
The fourth senior brother even took the position of the head of the Supernatural Department. After all, he had worked diligently there for hundreds of years, and the country trusted him greatly.
