As soon as I descended the mountain, I stopped. The evil sacrificial spirit was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?"
I didn't answer him immediately. I had told Wang Kun at the airport that I would definitely cure Little Wang Li after this matter was over.
However, I had only said those words to comfort him on a whim. Now that the matter here was over, it was obvious that I had to return.
However, if I didn't treat Little Wang Li after returning, wouldn't I hurt Wang Kun and his wife?
I sighed as I thought about this.
After the evil sacrificial spirit heard my words, he looked pensive. He didn't know about Little Wang Li's matter. At that time, he was still in the Yinxu Royal Tomb. However, looking at his current appearance, he seemed to have his own thoughts.
I couldn't help but be curious, so I asked, "Do you have a solution?"
After hearing my words, he didn't immediately reply. He just smacked his lips and asked me to tell him about Little Wang Li's matter in detail.
I was overjoyed. Although he didn't immediately agree, his current state showed that he had a solution.
I couldn't help but be overjoyed. After more than a year of contact, not to mention Wang Yongjun and Wang Kun, I liked Little Wang Li very much. Not to mention that he was Zhang Kanwen's disciple, the successor of Mount Wen.
Back then, I had personally promised Grandpa Zhao that I would continue the inheritance of Mount Wen. Now that I seemed to have found a solution, I didn't dare to be careless. I immediately told the whole story to the evil sacrificial spirit. I even told him all the methods that Zhang Kanwen and I had used in the past year.
After I finished talking, I didn't dare to breathe. I stared at the evil sacrificial spirit who was deep in thought. I hoped that he would find a solution!
The evil sacrificial spirit pondered for a moment. Suddenly, a light flashed in his eyes and the corners of his mouth rose. I saw all these details.
My heart tightened and I quickly asked, "Do you have a solution?"
He stared at me and nodded lightly. "That's right!
If everything is as you said, then I have a countermeasure. Not only that, but I can also restore eighty percent of my power when I was in the Three Tripod Stage. "
His words surprised me. Every time I treated Little Wang Li, I had to be very careful. Not only that, but I would also consume a lot of shaman energy.
However, from what the evil sacrificial spirit had said, not only would it not consume energy, but it would also increase its power. I didn't understand.
After listening to my doubts, the evil sacrificial spirit couldn't keep his face straight. He laughed and told me the whole story.
The reason that the Yellow Emperor was able to defeat Chiyou's army was that he had killed Chiyou's army and used its skin to make eighty drums.
After the Yellow Emperor set up the Qimen Dunjia, he ordered his soldiers to use the bones of the Thunder Beasts to beat the eighty drums made from the skin of the Kui Cow. For a moment, the sound of the drums was so loud that it could travel five hundred miles in one go, and three thousand and eight hundred miles in a row. The entire battlefield was shaking and the mountains were shaking. The sky was spinning and the earth was spinning.
After Chiyou was killed by the Yellow Emperor, his head and body were separated and buried. Not only that, but his three souls were also separated and thrown into the Nine Abyss to prevent him from reincarnating.
Now, Chiyou had found two souls, and he only needed one more to recover.
Listening to this, my mouth dropped open. I knew what had happened before, and I could find the information in the documents. However, I had never heard of Chiyou being sent into the Nine Abyss by the Yellow Emperor's soul. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. If he hadn't said it himself, I wouldn't have believed it.
"But, after saying so much, what are you trying to say?" I was a little confused. But then, I thought of something and exclaimed, "Could it be …"
Before I could finish, the evil sacrificial spirit faced the sky and laughed. "I didn't expect that the last wisp of his soul would be found!"
Sure enough, it was just as I had thought.
The ghostly black smoke in Little Wang Li's body was the last wisp of Chiyou's soul.
If that was the case, he would have a way to retrieve his soul. Then, there was nothing to worry about Little Wang Li's body. I couldn't help but sigh in relief.
If Little Wang Li was completely cured, it would also cure Zhang Kanwen's heart disease. The most important thing was that Wen Shan's lineage would be able to continue well from now on. I would be able to face Lord Zhao's spirit in heaven.
I couldn't hide my excitement. I hated that I couldn't bring the evil sacrificial spirit back to Shenzhen. However, what he said next extinguished the hope that had just ignited in my heart.
The evil sacrificial spirit returned to his previous appearance. Then, he frowned and said, "It's not difficult to retrieve that wisp of soul, but we need to make some preparations. We need to build a Kui Ox altar.
There was one just now, but you destroyed it! "
After listening to him, I subconsciously looked in the direction of the Holy Mother Temple. I looked speechless, as if I had eaten a dead fly. I hadn't expected that the Kui Ox altar would be an important part of Little Wang Li's treatment. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have blown it up. I couldn't help but feel regretful.
However, I also resented the evil sacrificial spirit. If he hadn't instigated me, I wouldn't have destroyed the altar.
The ready-made sacrificial altar was gone. What should I do now?
The evil sacrificial spirit seemed to sense the blame in my eyes. He paused and comforted me. "Don't panic. Since the Kui Ox altar here has been destroyed, we just need to find another Kui Ox."
After listening to him, I sighed. He wasn't comforting me. He was just giving advice in hindsight. This was the only solution we had.
However, the Kui Ox was an ancient divine beast. After thousands of years, I didn't know if such a beast still existed in this world. If it did, I didn't know how to find it.
The evil sacrificial spirit was puzzled when he saw that my face didn't look better.
After I told him about my doubts, he burst out laughing and said that I was too impatient.
"If the Kui Ox altar is here, it means the Kui Ox should still exist. I just need to find the person who built this altar and ask him."
After listening to him, I suddenly understood. When I had entered the Holy Mother Temple, Wu Yue had told me that the Kui Ox altar was built by Liu Ruxu. He had asked me if I knew the altar.
I immediately took out the small box containing the Green Lantern Scroll from my Xiang Liu pouch.
I had already confirmed that the Green Lantern Scroll was the second half of the Death Scripture. In the past, I definitely wouldn't have taken it out in front of anyone. However, the evil sacrificial spirit and I had a different relationship. I didn't have any misgivings with him.
I gently opened the box and called Liu Ruxu's name. As soon as I finished speaking, a hazy figure appeared in front of me.
I saw Liu Ruxu standing a meter away from me. She bowed to me and said, "Master, why did you summon me?"
I wasn't used to people calling me that, but I didn't care about it. I waved my hand to dismiss him. "I heard from Wu Yue that the Kui Ox altar in the Holy Mother Temple was built by you. I want to ask you, where did you get the Kui Ox's skull?"
"Master, I found the Kui Ox's skull in a barren tomb a hundred years ago," Liu Ruxu immediately replied.
I was elated and asked him where the barren tomb was and if there was a Kui Ox's skull there.
I didn't expect that Liu Ruxu's reply would dishearten me.
A hundred years ago, Liu Ruxu was still a Daoist of Mount Longhu. By chance, he found information about the Kui Ox's skull in the library of Mount Longhu.
After eloping with Wu Yue, he went to the top of Pagoda Village and built the Holy Mother Temple.
He then went to the barren tomb and after a narrow escape, he found the Kui Ox's skull. He then built the Kui Ox altar and entered Chiyou's tomb.
The information only recorded one Kui Ox's skull. I didn't know if there were other Kui Ox's skulls in this world.
After he said that, the atmosphere became extremely gloomy. The occasional chirping of birds in the surroundings was really ear-piercing, making me feel annoyed.
Liu Ruxu saw my gloomy expression and rolled his eyes. "Master, don't be anxious. From what I know, the Kui Ox originates from the East China Sea. Perhaps we can find traces of it in the East China Sea."
How could I not know what he meant? I had read about the Kui Ox in the past.
The Kui Ox was a mythical beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. "Shaped like an ox, with a white body without horns and one leg. When it enters and exits the water, there will be wind and rain. Its light is like the sun and moon, and its voice is like thunder. Its name is Kui."
However, many ancient books said that Kui was a snake-like monster.
"Kui, a divine charm, like the leg of a dragon."
The Kui Ox originated from a place called Billows Mountain in the East China Sea. According to the records, Billows Mountain was seven thousand li away from the coastline.
Not to mention whether Billows Mountain really existed, just the fact that it was seven thousand li above the East China Sea was enough to make people gasp in amazement.
If I hadn't seen the real Kui Ox's skull before, I wouldn't have cared. Since I had seen it, it proved that the creature definitely existed. However, it seemed that finding a living Kui Ox was only a theoretical possibility.
After Liu Ruxu heard what I said, he lowered his head and silently pondered. After half a minute, he opened his mouth again. "It's still too early to give up. In Yu Gong, it says, 'Qingzhou, Wei and Zi are two roads, and the seashore is wide. This is the East China Sea, in the present Dengzhou.' According to what I know, the East China Sea in ancient times is the current Yellow Sea.
Even though we don't know if Billows Mountain is really above the Yellow Sea, we should at least go there to investigate before we know. "
His words pulled me back from my dejected mood. Currently, there was indeed only one way to go.
Since there was still a sliver of hope, we couldn't just give up. If we really couldn't find Billows Mountain, we would make other plans.
