"Hong Kong's Fengshui is very strong, and there are many sects here. Moreover, a few years ago, many sects couldn't survive in the mainland, so they came to Hong Kong."
"They didn't expect to see flowers blooming within the walls. Many sects didn't do well in the mainland, but when they came to Hong Kong, they became very popular. Many of them practiced evil techniques such as controlling corpses and raising ghosts!"
The old gatekeeper spoke with fervor and assurance. After that, he took a sip of his wine and continued, "These sects are not large in scale, but because of their strange cultivation methods and ruthless methods, although they are not very influential, everyone's expression changes when they speak of them and they stay away from them."
I lowered my head and pondered for a while. The old man wasn't lying.
The sects in Jianghu practiced Dao Qi or witchcraft Qi. The process was very difficult, and it couldn't be done in one step.
However, it was different for those evil sects. For example, the Corpse-chasing Sect. As long as they had their secret method, a cultivator who had just entered the sect could control a powerful zombie at will. It was no different from a fool's dream for a cultivator of the same level to kill him.
"It's because of this reason that the Fengshui masters in Hong Kong don't dare to provoke those evil sects!" The old man said worriedly.
"Young man, do you really think that the reason why so many Fengshui masters couldn't deal with this ghost was because their cultivation base wasn't high enough?" The old man said. "You're wrong!
Not to mention them, even I know that there's something strange going on here!
Don't they know that someone has buried something evil in this house? "
"It's just because they don't want to provoke it!
It's not like what they said, that their cultivation base isn't high enough to deal with this ghost! "
"I've been a security guard for dozens of years, and I've seen this kind of thing many times. As long as it's related to ghosts, these Fengshui masters will choose to retreat, regardless of whether they can deal with the ghost or not. To reach their level of cultivation base, they need at least dozens of years. Why would they offend those evil sects just because of a business deal?"
"Most of those evil sects don't have good intentions, and their methods are unscrupulous.
Young man, I can see that you're an honest man, and you're from the mainland. Don't let this matter get you into trouble. "
The old guard couldn't help but try to persuade him.
To be honest, with my current cultivation, I'm not afraid of people coming to find trouble with me. However, it's still the same old saying, the older one is in Jianghu, the more timid one becomes.
He had worked so hard for so long to get to where he was today. If he really lost his life because of a moment of carelessness, it would not be worth it.
I cupped my hands at the old man. "Thank you for your guidance. Do you know who raised this ghost?"
I searched with my spiritual sense and found that Wu Dengke's ghost was still wandering around. I believed that he hadn't reached his destination yet. If the old man knew who he was, I would be able to prepare for a rainy day.
"I've lived my entire life, but I've yet to feel 'Qi'. How could I see through the origin of that ghost with just a glance?"
The old man was a little overwhelmed by the favor. He stroked his beard and said with a smile, but then he changed his tone and said, "But according to this little old man's guess, there are no more than three reasons for the ghost's origin."
"Oh?
Which three? "I was surprised.
"There are many evil sects in Hong Kong, but when it comes to raising ghosts, there are three famous sects. One is the Chasing Corpse Sect, the other is the Nanyang Kuman Thong, and the last is the Ghost Raising Sect!" The old man said with a smile.
I carefully recalled the situation in the pit during the day.
If there was a small bottle in the pit that raised a ghost, then it must be different from the Chasing Corpse Sect, which drove zombies to fight. Kuman Thong mostly raised children who died before they reached adulthood. So, this ghost was most likely from the Ghost Raising Sect!
I was shocked. Ghost Raising Sect?
Isn't it the sect that chased me for a thousand miles, Liang Tianxin?
Could it be that the person who sold Wu Dengke the ghost was the Great Elder of the Ghost Raising Sect, Liang Tianxin?
If it really was him, then enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road.
I was stunned and didn't say anything. The old man seemed to have misunderstood me and tried to comfort me. "Kid, don't be afraid. Your cultivation base isn't low. Even if those people come to find you, they might not be your match. However, young people are too hot-blooded. You should be more cautious in the future. It's not worth it if you lose your life to help others."
"I've learned something!" I stood up and bowed to the old man.
"Yeah."
The old man stroked his beard and smiled. "Good kid, you're still young. You still have a long way to go. It's getting late. Go back and rest. You need to conserve your energy."
I replied with a smile and turned around to leave. Since this old man had given me a clue, I would follow it to find the melon.
No matter who the person behind this was, I would catch him one day.
However, just as I was about to leave, I suddenly remembered something. I stopped and said to the old man, "Grandpa, heaven and earth are chaotic and divided into Yin and Yang energies. If you could sense the evil spirit in the pit, I believe you could vaguely sense the existence of Yin energy. Do you know why you couldn't sense the existence of 'Qi'?"
The old man in front of me was kind. I had heard him say that he was half-buried, but he still couldn't sense 'Qi'. It was fate that brought us together, so there was no harm in giving me some advice.
Perhaps the old man's situation reminded me of the time when I was studying in university. At that time, I had also reached the same bottleneck. Fortunately, I was able to break through quickly. However, the old man in front of me didn't have anyone to guide him, so he was stuck in this realm for the rest of his life. He couldn't become a Geomaster.
Cultivation depends on fate. This old man was able to meet me today, so it can be considered as a fate for him.
"Why?
Kid, tell me quickly. How can I sense 'Qi'? "The old man's expression changed when he heard that I wanted to give him some advice.
Perhaps this was the real reason why the old man wanted to see me. However, he knew that many cultivators in the martial world didn't want to talk about their cultivation methods to outsiders. That was why he didn't ask.
"Heaven and earth use primordial chaos as Qi, and my body uses the darkness as Qi.
Qi is invisible. It's not meant to be sensed. It's meant to be used!
As long as you can sense the Yin and Yang energies and use them, you will be able to control 'Qi'! "
Then, I casually walked away. Shortly after, I heard the old man pat his head and sigh. He seemed to have understood something.
On the path of cultivation, everyone had their own fate. I didn't turn my head. I just smiled and left.
When I returned to the hotel, I carefully recalled what had happened today. According to the old man, it was possible that the person who sold the ghost to Wu Dengke was a member of the Ghost Raising Sect.
As I thought that I could finally see Liang Tianxin again, I cheered up.
The last time I saw Liang Tianxin, he had chased me for thousands of miles, all the way to the Yellow Spring River. Eventually, I had to rely on Xiao Jin's help to escape. However, he still made an appointment with me in two years. He said that he would take me to a place after two years.
However, two years had passed. Why didn't Liang Tianxin come to see me?
Did he forget that I was the murderer who killed his precious son?
Or was he delayed by something else?
Instinctively, I looked at my arm. Before Liang Kaixiong died, he had left a Ghost seal on my arm. Now, when I looked at my arm, the Ghost seal was gone!
The Ghost Seal itself contains a huge amount of energy that can be absorbed by the person who has been sealed. I believe that it has been digested by me as my cultivation continues to improve. No wonder that Liang Tianxin hasn't come looking for me for so long.
'I can't blame Liang Tianxin for not being thoughtful back then. It's just that my cultivation has increased too quickly. Back then, Liang Tianxin would never have imagined that I could actually cultivate to the Quasi-Celestial Master level in just two years.'
I used my spiritual sense to check. Wu Dengke's soul was still drifting. It seemed he hadn't reached his destination yet. I didn't mind him and went to bed.
It was a quiet night.
When I woke up the next morning, Dai Nanzhou came to see me. "I want to start work again. Are you in danger?" The project in Hong Kong was very important, and the headquarters had been urging us. Moreover, we hadn't wasted a single day, and we had wasted an astronomical amount of money.
I nodded and told him, "It's not a big deal. We can start work again. Moreover, I'm here these days. If something happens, I can solve it immediately. Don't worry."
Dai Nanzhou exhaled in relief. However, he still didn't smile. It seemed Wu Dengke's case had affected him a lot. The kind, smiling boy had become much more mature now.
After thanking me one more time, he left. I guessed he was going to arrange the progress of the project.
Of course, I didn't pay much attention to these things. After washing my face and rinsing my mouth, I quietly used the secret technique to sense the wisp of spiritual sense in Wu Dengke's soul.
After a night of drifting, Wu Dengke's soul had settled down. I believed he had reached his destination. I calmed my mind and sensed. His soul was in a place in Jiulong.
I didn't bother Dai Nanzhou. I directly went out and hailed a taxi. I followed the direction the spiritual sense had come from and asked the driver to go to Jiulong.
The road conditions in Hong Kong weren't bad. Although it was rush hour, we didn't encounter any traffic jams. I chatted with the driver on the way. Around an hour later, we arrived in front of a high-class villa area in Jiulong.
The spiritual sense had come from this area.
This area was built on a mountain. Aside from the villas, there were many lush shrubs. It was a beautiful sight that made people feel relaxed and happy.
As we didn't want to alert the enemy, I called for a taxi to stop by a wall in this area. I used the Dao energy to block the surveillance cameras. Seizing the opportunity when no one was around, I jumped and entered the area.
I walked along the stone steps of the area for around ten minutes before I reached a villa. This place had the thickest spiritual sense. Wu Dengke's soul was in this villa.
The villa in front of me had five floors. At this moment, Wu Dengke's soul was on the third floor, where the curtains were closed.
With my skills, it wasn't hard to sneak in.
After entering the villa, I found no one in the living room on the first floor. I glanced around and went upstairs. When I reached the room on the third floor, I stopped.
I used my spiritual sense to sense. Besides Wu Dengke's soul, there was only one other person in the room. From the Dao energy this person emitted, he should have a Four-Star Glorious Knowledge cultivation base.
A Four-Star Glorious Knowledge cultivator couldn't be Liang Tianxin. However, I sensed an aura similar to Liang Tianxin's. This person was most likely related to the Ghost Raising Sect.
With my current cultivation base, dealing with a Four-Star Glorious Knowledge Earth Master wasn't a problem. I concealed my aura and knocked on the door in front of me.
"Who is it?"
