Then, I asked Lin Yuetong a few more questions. However, she didn't know anything about the Well Ghost, let alone the others.
Feeling helpless, I had to give up. I gave her a soul soothing talisman and left her room. I returned to the hotel to rest.
Since returning from the Metaphysical Union, I hadn't had time to catch my breath because of Lin Yuetong. Now, I could finally rest.
I slept for a dozen or so hours. After I got up, I packed my luggage and took out the Mount Tai Seal that I had gotten from Lu Zhenyang.
Lu Zhenyang had told me that the Mount Tai Seal was one of the seven inherited magical tools of the Lu family. Although it wasn't as precious as a Heavenly Master's magical tool, it was still an inherited magical tool. When Lu Zhenyang had it, it hadn't been able to display its true power. My cultivation base was higher than Lu Zhenyang's, and now that I had reached the first acupoint sealing realm, what kind of power would this Mount Tai Seal have?
Excited, I slowly poured my Dao energy into the white Mount Tai Seal. However, I was disappointed. The light of the Mount Tai Seal only flashed a few times. Then, it calmed down.
Afterward, no matter how much I poured my Dao energy into it, it didn't react.
Why is it like this?
I couldn't figure it out. I closed my eyes and used my Dao energy to sense for a long time. Then, I found a complicated pattern carved on the bottom of the Mount Tai Seal. My Dao energy didn't enter the Mount Tai Seal after passing through this pattern. Instead, it scattered in the air.
Since my Dao energy couldn't enter the magical tool, it couldn't activate its power.
My interest was piqued. This complicated pattern was a geomancy formation that could distinguish Dao energy. It could distinguish the Dao energy of the Lu family's members and the others.
There were many kinds of geomancy formations in the Death Scripture, but I had never seen this one before.
After studying it for a long time, I didn't have any clue. I had to put this matter aside and wait until I had time to solve this formation.
After putting the Mount Tai Seal away, I found that I had nothing to do.
I sat there and organized my experiences in the past few days. I found that there were two things I needed to do.
One was to find the traces of the fat father and son.
The other thing was to look for the Snake Spirit in Miaojiang.
The matter with the snake spirit wasn't just because of my feelings for the snake spirit, but also because the red shadow's "Black Dragon Qilin Knot" might have something to do with the snake spirit. I had to find it as soon as possible to find the answer to the mystery.
But unfortunately, that Old Gu woman's strength is probably above the Glory of Consciousness realm. If I were to find her with my current strength, it would be like striking a rock with an egg. I wouldn't be able to achieve my goal at all.
Therefore, this matter could only be put aside for the time being.
The fatty and his father's whereabouts were also troublesome. A few days ago, I had tried to call the fatty, but just like before, I couldn't get through to him. Recently, when I tried to call him, his number was no longer in use.
Now, I could only think about when I should go to Kaifeng again.
In the past, I heard from him that he was a disciple of a famous Daoist sect in Kaifeng. Their master was Zhenren Guan, a master of divination.
If Fatty came out of the Fire God Temple, he might return to his sect.
After making a decision in my heart, I decided to rest for around half a month before going home. After the New Year, I would go to Kaifeng to look for Zhenren Guan.
In the following half a month, I declined several invitations from the Shenzhen branch's celebration activities and stayed in the hotel alone to slowly nurture my Dao energy. Since I had the apex four-meridians talent, my cultivation speed was much faster than ordinary people. In just a dozen or so days, the second acupoint in my Heaven meridian had accumulated about 10% of the Dao energy.
This 10% didn't sound like much, but if it was someone else, let alone 10%, it would be difficult for them to even reach 5%.
The only thing that made me depressed was the dark green energy. After so many days, it was still half dead. Although it had increased, the rate of increase was really not worth mentioning. It was almost impossible to notice.
Back then, the dark green energy had opened up four complete meridians. It was much stronger than the Qi of the Way. Now, it had become like this. Not only could it not fuse with the Qi of the Way to increase my strength, but even the speed at which it was growing had become so slow. I really didn't know what to do.
I also thought of continuing to absorb energy from the black bead, but the black bead's energy was used to conceal the True Dragon's Vein. The aura of the True Dragon's Vein was too strong. If it wasn't concealed, it would be like a moving sun.
As long as I exposed it, the people from the Metaphysics Association would find me in a few minutes. No matter what, I couldn't take the risk, so I could only give up.
After half a month, just as I was about to leave Shenzhen, Yang Kaichen suddenly came to find me.
I thought that the Metaphysics Association had asked him to invite me to participate in some activity. Without waiting for him to say anything, I told him that I was preparing to return home. No matter what activity it was, I wouldn't be able to participate.
Who knew that Yang Kaichen would anxiously wave his hand at me and say, "It's not an activity. Something happened at the Metaphysics Association. You have to go there this time."
I felt strange. Even if something happened at the Metaphysics Association, what did it have to do with me?
After asking him in puzzlement, Yang Kaichen sighed and said, "Isn't it because of Lin Yuetong's matter? After you killed the Jing Gui, the mastermind behind it came looking for you."
I was stunned at first, then I couldn't help but sneer. "I had my suspicions at that time, but now it seems that someone is really controlling it.
This person has guts. After doing such a heinous thing, he still dares to come looking for the Metaphysics Association. Could it be that this person is an important figure in the Metaphysics Association? "
Yang Kaichen shook his head. "It's not someone from the Metaphysics Association."
"It's not?
Then why did the people from the Metaphysics Association come looking for me?
Could it be an important figure from the Daoist or Buddhist sects? "
Yang Kaichen continued to shake his head.
I was even more puzzled. In the entire Metaphysics world, besides the important figures from these three sects, who else would dare to take the initiative to come looking for me after doing something bad?
Even the old witch from last time wouldn't be able to do it. Forcing President Xu was one thing, but forcing the entire Metaphysics Association was another.
If it wasn't one of these three sects, could it be Celestial Master Zhang from Mount Longhu?
After asking again, Yang Kaichen gave me an unimaginable answer. He forced a smile and said, "It's someone from Hong Kong."
I was bewildered. How could this matter be related to someone from Hong Kong?
After listening to Yang Kaichen's detailed explanation, I finally understood what was going on.
In the early years, Hong Kong was under the control of the British government. Although the Hong Kong British government had carried out a campaign to eliminate the Chinese language, the traditional culture in Hong Kong was well preserved, especially in the area of Metaphysics.
This could be seen from the movies that were popular in Hong Kong in the early years.
It was strange that when the Hong Kong British government carried out the campaign to eliminate the Chinese language, the older generation of Hong Kong people swore to resist. They were persecuted many times, but they didn't lower their heads. They just wanted to pass on the culture that was related to their bloodline.
But now, after Hong Kong's return, many of the new generation of Hong Kong people denied their bloodline and refused to learn their own culture. It was really strange!
Let's put this matter aside for now. Although Hong Kong's Metaphysics culture was good, due to its geographical location, there weren't many orthodox Metaphysics techniques that had been passed down from the Central Plains.
One hundred years ago, during the chaotic period of China, some evil Daoist sects were expelled from the Central Plains. Many of them fled to Hong Kong and Nanyang, which gave birth to many ghost raising and corpse raising sects. Later on, Kuman Thong, Tame Head Magic, Amulet Amulet, Spirit Ghosts, and many other Metaphysics sects with strong regional auras emerged. Now, they were called the Nanyang Daoist Sects.
Hong Kong was the connecting point between China and Nanyang, and it was also the core area of the Nanyang Daoist Sects. Traces of Nanyang Daoist techniques could be found here.
Among them, the Ghost Raising Sect was the most powerful one.
This time, it was an elder of the Ghost Raising Sect. However, he didn't come here himself. He had contacted the Guangdong government through a high-ranking official of the Hong Kong government.
The Hong Kong Metaphysics community had a high status, and they had a close relationship with the government. It wasn't strange that this elder could find a high-ranking official.
After the Guangdong government got the news, they quickly contacted the Metaphysics Society. That was why Yang Kaichen was so worried.
Due to the Metaphysics Society's special nature, the government had always taken care of them. For example, the deathmatch I had with Lu Zhenyang, Han Wennan, and the others in the Metaphysics Society was beyond the law.
However, in today's society, nothing was above the law. After the government intervened, this matter became a big deal.
So, according to Yang Kaichen, I had to go to the Shenzhen branch to see the elder of the Ghost Raising Sect.
After understanding the situation, I had to postpone my plan to go home and go with Yang Kaichen to the Shenzhen branch.
When I arrived, President Xu was waiting for me with a sinister old man who looked around fifty years old. He was wearing a traditional Tang suit.
There was no need to introduce him. This old man was the Ghost Raising Sect's elder that Yang Kaichen had mentioned.
Before President Xu could say anything, the old man opened his mouth. "You're the kid who subdued my well ghost?
If you summon my well ghost now, I might spare your life. Otherwise, I will take your three souls and refine you into a ghost cultivator! "
The ghost cultivator he was talking about was the ghost that was formed after the death of a person who had at least reached the Earthly Adept Realm in the metaphysics world.
Since the three souls of an Earth Master were much more vigorous than an ordinary person's, the ghost that was formed after death would also be much more powerful. It was one of the ghosts that many Ghost Raising Sect members liked to refine.
Looking at the old man's arrogant attitude, my expression turned cold. I sneered and said, "You used the well ghost to harm people and didn't care about the rules of the Metaphysics world. Now, you still dare to ask me for your evil ghost? It's ridiculous!
I have already destroyed the well ghost's three souls. After I sent him to the afterlife, he returned to the cycle of reincarnation.
If you want to find him, you can go to the netherworld and slowly look for him. Why are you looking for me? "
This old man was able to raise a ghost like the well ghost, so his strength wasn't weak. If he had come to find me in private, I might have been a bit afraid. However, I was currently in the Metaphysics Society. As a young phoenix and a peerless four meridians talent, the Metaphysics Society would protect me no matter what. Facing this old man, I naturally didn't have any fear.
When the old man heard me, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. It seemed he was even angrier than me. He roared, "I was careless for a moment and let the Well Ghost get lost. After that, I searched everywhere and finally got the news.
If the well ghost really did something evil, this old man will compensate for it. But you, a junior, are too rude. You actually dared to destroy my well ghost. Today, this old man will take your life! "
After saying that, he slammed the table and stood up. It seemed that he was about to attack me.
Without waiting for me to speak, President Xu quickly stood up and blocked the old man. He said, "Elder Liang, our Metaphysics Society still has its rules. Let's sit down and discuss this matter to prevent any unnecessary trouble."
His words made my impression towards President Xu slightly better. However, the old man immediately said, "I know the rules of the Metaphysics Society. Although our Ghost Raising Sect didn't join the continent's Metaphysics Society, we are still considered a family. I won't cause any trouble today. Everything will go according to your Metaphysics Society's rules. What do you think?"
President Xu nodded and smiled. "It's naturally for the best that Elder Liang can follow the rules."
At this moment, I faintly felt that something wasn't right. One of them had a red face while the other had a white face. Something was definitely wrong!
Before I could figure it out, Elder Liang said, "Since it's like this, then according to the Metaphysics Society's rules, I propose to have a life and death duel with this junior!
President Xu, what do you think? This doesn't go against your Metaphysics Society's rules, right? "
My mind buzzed. So this was what he was waiting for me!
President Xu seemed to be in a difficult position. He muttered to himself, "This doesn't go against the rules, but …"
Before he could say anything, Elder Liang waved his hand. "Since it doesn't go against the rules, then let's do it this way. There's no need to choose the venue or time. Let's do it here and now!
Junior, what do you think? "
With that, he turned around and looked at me sinisterly.
At this moment, President Xu also turned around with an apologetic and helpless expression. He smiled wryly as he tried to persuade me. "Zhou Yi, since the government has interfered in this matter, the Metaphysics Society can't completely cover up for you. After all, you were in the wrong first. Why don't we follow Elder Liang's suggestion?"
I stared at President Xu. This shameless person. I already knew that this person had evil intentions in the dark. I just didn't think that he would find an opportunity so quickly.
"President Xu, aren't you afraid that the headquarters will find trouble with you after this?" I asked word by word.
President Xu still had an apologetic expression. He sighed and said, "I also have no choice. The government has interfered in this matter. What choice do you want me to make?
If the headquarters really wants to blame me, then I can only accept my fate. "
My heart sank to the bottom. It seemed that President Xu was ready to fight to the death.
Without waiting for me to speak, President Xu stood up and retreated. At the same time, he said, "Elder Liang, the life and death duel can begin at any time!"
Elder Liang chuckled. He didn't directly walk towards me. Instead, he held a bowl-shaped instrument in his hand and chanted two strange incantations. Then, as the cold wind blew around, a figure wearing white gauze suddenly appeared in front of me.
The elder of the Ghost Raising Sect naturally used ghosts to fight.
However, when I saw this ghost figure, even though I was extremely angry, I still widened my eyes. I almost couldn't believe the scene in front of me.
Because I've seen this ghost figure before!
It was the Li Ying who was buried at the 28 Fiendish Yellow Springs formation on the red shadow's grave!
It was the female corpse that was no different from a living person, the daughter Li Ying who was personally hanged by the old principal!
