Nangong had always been elusive, so I didn't mind his sudden disappearance.
What caught my attention was the last person that he had mentioned.
Based on our interactions in the past, even though Nangong also hid some things from me, he was extremely principled. He would tell me things that he didn't want me to ask, but he wouldn't mention things that he couldn't say. He rarely acted like he did today, purposely keeping me in suspense.
After thinking for a while, I couldn't figure out who the last person of the witch tribe was. But it didn't seem to be related to me, so I shook my head and put it aside.
I collected my thoughts and returned to the foot of the mountain.
Fang Min had woken up, but her mental state wasn't very good.
Grandpa Yuan had pulled out a wisp of her soul, and it seemed that she wouldn't be able to recover in a short time.
When Monk Mingjue saw me, he hurriedly led the other monks to bow to me and said, "Benefactor, you will be rewarded for your great kindness."
He was smart and didn't ask for the result. He just congratulated me.
I nodded slightly and didn't stand on ceremony.
From the bottom of my heart, what I had done was indeed a good deed.
I couldn't do the cruel act of cutting one's own flesh to feed an eagle, but I would try my best not to harm others while benefiting myself. This should be a person's basic concept of good and evil, and I would abide by it.
I took out the souls of the previous people and handed them to Mingjue. I told him, "These are the souls of those four people. They died in vain, and their souls can't enter the cycle of reincarnation.
I would like to ask the Master to perform a ritual to help them ascend.
The Master's Buddhist teachings are profound, and he can certainly eliminate their resentment and send them to the Nine Nether Samsara. "
Mingjue looked ashamed when he heard me say that. He repeatedly praised me and then collected the souls. He said that these people's fate was special, and they needed to be sent back to the temple to ascend.
I originally wanted to do it myself, but generally speaking, the Buddhists were good at this, so it would be better if Miaojue did it.
On the other hand, after I had absorbed the witchcraft energy, I was gradually absorbing it along with the Circulatory Cycle Revolution in my body, and there were signs of a breakthrough. I had to settle down as soon as possible and sort out the aura in my body.
After that, Mingjue chatted with me for a while and left his contact information. Then, he left with the monks.
I helped Fang Min to the car. After sending her home, I found a hotel to stay in.
He sat cross-legged on the bed in the hotel room and began to sort out the Shaman Qi in his Heavenly Meridian.
In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed in this meditation. I had finally finished sorting out the shaman energy in my body, and my cultivation had also taken the opportunity to break through to the late stage of the seal realm in one go.
After the breakthrough, I wanted to settle down and stabilize my foundation, but the power in my body was still surging. The power I had absorbed from Grandpa Yuan hadn't been used up yet.
The last time I made a rash breakthrough and almost became a demon was still vivid in my mind. However, the situation this time was different. During this period of time, I had spent a lot of time consolidating my foundation. My cultivation had already reached the peak of the middle stage of the seal realm, but I had been suppressing it for a long time. My foundation had already been firmly established. After breaking through to the late stage of the seal realm, the flow of energy in my Heavenly Veins didn't show any signs of sluggishness. Obviously, I didn't have to worry about becoming a demon again.
Thus, after pondering for a while, I clenched my teeth and continued to sort out the shaman energy in my body, trying to break through the seal.
Because I had enough shaman energy in my body and there was no barrier in the seal realm, I exhaled a long breath after a few hours. My cultivation had officially reached the peak of the seal realm, and I was only one step away from the Yang God Realm!
No wonder Nangong was confident that he could use Grandpa Yuan to create the Tai Sui so that I could directly advance to the Yang God Realm.
The shaman energy in Grandpa Yuan's body was too strong. Just the part I had absorbed was enough to support me to break through to the peak of the seal realm. Next, after devouring the Tai Sui, it was only a matter of time before I could advance to the Yang God Realm.
But now, without Grandpa Yuan, I had to find another way to successfully advance to the Yang God Realm.
In fact, I didn't have much choice. At present, the only information I knew was the power of the Nine Spirits that Azan had mentioned.
It seemed that I needed to go abroad.
In the past few days, many things had happened around me. The Xuanyuan Sword, the Nuwa Stone, the Fuxi Zither, the Eastern Emperor Bell, and other ancient divine weapons had appeared one after another. Some of the things in the ancient myths and legends also had a lot to do with me. Although I still couldn't figure out what it all meant, I had a vague sense of crisis. I always felt that something was about to happen.
Thus, my desire for cultivation was very strong. Moreover, I had just met Bian, so I was eager to improve my cultivation and reunite with him as soon as possible.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided not to slack off any longer. I immediately left for Thailand.
After making up my mind, I didn't leave immediately. Instead, I went to Fang Min's house to make sure that she was safe and sound. Then, I gave her a Heart-Calming Talisman before leaving Min Province and returning to Shenzhen.
Going abroad wasn't like moving around in China, where I could take action at any time. I had to go through some procedures like passports and visas first.
If I went there myself, I didn't know how much time it would take.
Of course, it was best to leave this matter to Wang Yongjun.
It was true. I didn't know what methods he had used, but the next day, the passports and visas were all ready and sent to my room.
I had used these two days to stabilize my cultivation base. At this moment, I was even more eager to enter the Yang Spirit realm. I didn't want to waste any more time. I followed the driver Wang Yongjun had sent me to the airport.
When we arrived at the airport, I wanted to book the next flight. Unexpectedly, Wang Yongjun had booked a small commercial plane and was on standby. The driver took me to the tarmac. After boarding the plane, we waited for one hour to confirm the flight route. Then, we departed for Thailand.
A few hours later, the plane landed at Bangkok Airport. I didn't ask the driver Wang Yongjun had sent to accompany me. I left the airport and went to the downtown area of Bangkok.
It was late at night. I didn't hurry to go to the King's Palace. Instead, I found a hotel to stay.
There were many Chinese tourists in Bangkok. That was why the receptionists in these hotels could speak Chinese, which saved me a lot of trouble.
After washing my face and brushing my teeth, I started to think about what I wanted to do next.
That black-clothed Ah Zan had told me that I had the power of the Nine Spirits and that I could study it now. He meant that I could go and see the Tai Sui. At that time, it would be the best time to take action.
However, I had learned about swallowing the Tai Sui from Nangong, so I didn't know how to do it.
This time, I was a little anxious. Let alone the other things, just the Tai Sui's huge body was enough to make my scalp go numb.
The entire night was spent in trepidation.
The next morning, when it was just after 7 AM, I got up from my bed.
After a good night's rest, I was full of energy. I planned to go to the King's Palace immediately.
However, when I got out of the hotel, the street was crowded with people. I didn't have a place to rest.
I was skeptical. Did something bad happen here?
When I got closer, I saw that the people on the street were standing on both sides of the road, leaving an empty space in the middle. Each of them was holding something in their hands. Some were clothes, while others were food. The crowd wasn't noisy. They were all looking at the west side of the street as if they were waiting for someone.
I had never seen such a scene before. It piqued my curiosity. However, I wasn't in a hurry. I decided to stay here and see what was going on.
Around five or six minutes later, people finally appeared on the west side of the street. They were all wearing Thai monk robes.
Several people were walking in the front, carrying a solemn Buddha statue on their shoulders.
The monks behind them were holding alms bowls. Every time they took a step, someone would throw clothes or food into their alms bowls. After that, the passersby kneeled in front of the Buddha statue. They looked very pious.
At this moment, I understood that today was an important Buddhist festival in Thailand.
After a brief calculation, I confirmed that today was the Summer Festival.
Before coming here, I had learned about Thai Buddhism. The Summer Festival was one of the most important Buddhist festivals in Thailand. It was held every year on the fifteenth day of the eleventh month of the Thai calendar. It was also called the Summer Festival, the Passover Festival, or the Juju Festival.
At this time, the three-month Summer Festival was over, and the monks could go out as usual.
On this day, the common people were holding a grand meal in the temple and listening to the monks recite Buddhist scriptures.
The people moved the Buddha statue out of the temple and placed it in a small pavilion that could be moved.
The alms bowls were placed on the Buddha statue, and the monks followed the Buddha statue with the alms bowls in their hands. Believers sat in a line and placed the alms bowls into the alms bowls.
The alms bowls were mainly rice, vegetables, glutinous rice dumplings with pink bananas, and coconut rice dumplings with yata leaves.
When people held a meal in Bangkok's Jinshan Temple, they moved the Buddha statue from the temple to the foot of the mountain.
In addition, during the Summer Festival, people also performed activities such as donating Buddhist robes, Summer Festival garments, and releasing yellow cloth.
Since these monks had moved the Buddha statue out of the temple, they must be monks from Jinshan Temple.
I didn't want to watch anymore. I decided to walk through the crowd and head toward the King's Palace.
However, before I could take a step, the monks lifted the Buddha statue and stopped in front of me.
At this moment, the people around me were kneeling in front of the Buddha statue. I was the only one standing.
In Thailand, Buddhism had a much higher status than in our country. Whether it was a monk or a common person, they had to kneel when they saw the Buddha statue.
However, I wasn't a monk, and I wasn't a Thai citizen either. Kneeling was a little too much for me.
The monk walking in front of me was enraged when he saw me like that. He walked forward to talk to me.
However, I didn't understand what he was talking about, so I just stood there and didn't move.
The monk became even angrier. It seemed he thought that I was looking down on their Buddha. He raised his hand and placed it on my shoulder, trying to force me to kneel.
I didn't want to fight with such an ordinary person, but his behavior showed that he didn't know what was good for him.
I gathered my Taoist energy in my palm and gently pushed it away.
The monk was sent flying in just a blink of an eye.
When the people kneeling in front of me saw that I had easily sent the monk flying, they screamed and looked at me. Many of them were fanatics of Buddhism, and their eyes turned hostile.
At the same time, a group of monks walked toward me from a distance. It seemed they wanted to punish me.
With my cultivation base, I didn't care about these people. However, since I was in a foreign land, I didn't want to cause trouble. I leaped into the air, avoiding the pedestrians on the ground. Then, I turned into a jet of light and flew far away.
