Qin Shi heaved a sigh of relief when he sensed the Undying Taoist's abnormality.
A moment later, the trace of blood in the Undying Daoist's old eyes suddenly retreated and was replaced by a layer of empty and illusory blankness.
"What, what's going on?"
The Undying Taoist suddenly exclaimed. It was obvious that he had regained his senses.
In Xiao Mi Cai's eyes, his action was a standard act of feigning ignorance. She pouted, "Hmph, old man, why are you feigning ignorance?
You injured my father just now and even tried to kill me. Could it be that by pretending not to know, you want to distance yourself from me? "
"Hmm?
I wanted to kill you?
Why would I want to kill you? "
The Undying Taoist frowned and tried his best to recall. He muttered, "I, shouldn't I be at the City Lord's Mansion healing that brat Li Minghao?
Why am I here all of a sudden? "
Xiao Mi Cai became even more furious when she heard his words. However, Qin Shi suddenly pulled her from behind. Qin Shi knew that the Undying Taoist wasn't pretending. He narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems like you can't remember anything?
That was three years ago. "
"Three years ago?" The Undying Taoist was shocked.
Qin Shi shook his head. "Forget it. Since you can't remember anything, let me help you."
With that, Qin Shi waved his hand and his index finger gently landed between the Undying Taoist's eyebrows. Following that, their minds were connected, and he transmitted his memories of coming to the Nightless City to the Undying Taoist in the form of Soul Sanskrit.
This also included the Tong brothers' description of the Daoist Master. When he understood everything, the Daoist Master's figure shook violently. He was clearly dumbfounded. He said in a daze, "Is, is this true?"
"Buzz!"
Following that, he felt intense pain all over his body. Qin Shi's memories seemed to have opened the deepest ravine hidden in the Undying Daoist's sea of consciousness. Everything that happened in the past three years while he was in a deep slumber was dug out. If it was an ordinary person, they might not be able to recall it. After all, those things happened after he lost consciousness. No matter how high his cultivation was, it was impossible for him to detect it. But for a talisman master, especially one with a powerful soul spell talisman master, it wasn't a difficult task.
After all, although he had lost control of his body for the past three years, all of his actions had been recorded in his sea of consciousness. Those memories were like crazy tides and tsunamis in the sea, fiercely sweeping into his mind.
"Argh!"
He shouted angrily. His eyes trembled violently, and a look of extreme pain appeared on his old face. "This, all of this was done by me?
I killed so many disciples of Nightless City in the past three years?
How did this happen? "
Seeing that the Undying Taoist had recovered, Qin Shi shook his head helplessly and patted his shoulder. "You don't have to blame yourself too much. It wasn't your own idea. Otherwise, I wouldn't have forgiven you. After all, I'm really angry that you hurt Little Mi Cai."
However, Qin Shi's persuasion was useless. The Undying Taoist still couldn't get over it. After seeing through this, Qin Shi didn't say anything else. He also understood that it would be hard for anyone to accept such a thing if it happened to them.
However, it could be seen that the Undying Taoist was a carefree person. After a long time, he shook his head helplessly. Then, he put his withered hands together in front of his chest and bowed three times in the air as a memorial to the souls that died unjustly. Then, he looked at Qin Shi. In an instant, he seemed to have experienced a lot. "Little brother, did you save me?"
Qin Shi shrugged. After that, he said, "Not really. I've only awakened your sea of consciousness. The baleful aura within your body has yet to disperse. This is also what I want to ask you. What exactly is going on?"
The Undying Taoist shook his head. "I don't know either. I only remember that three years ago, when I was living in seclusion in the Yangtan Bamboo Forest, Li Minghao was seriously ill."
"That little guy and I are quite fated. When he was young, he accidentally entered the bamboo forest. Later, I saw that he had good qualifications, so I took him in as my disciple. He also lived with me for a long time. Once I heard that he was seriously ill, I rushed to the City Lord's Mansion overnight to see my little disciple. However, when I entered the City Lord's Mansion, Li Tan was lying on the ground powerlessly. Only then did I realize the seriousness of the matter."
"Later, I heard from Li Tan that even he couldn't cure Li Minghao's illness. Seeing that Li Minghao was in so much pain that he wished he was dead, I didn't think too much about it and decided to save him." "However, in the process of saving him, I was suddenly affected by a huge evil force.
"However, in the process of treating him, I was suddenly affected by a huge evil force. That evil force was extremely crafty. At first, I was still able to resist it, but later on, that evil force became extremely strong and suddenly counterattacked, piercing through the space between my eyebrows. After that … my soul was suppressed in my sea of consciousness by that evil force. At first, I was still able to resist it and control my body, but later on, my strength was severely depleted, and I couldn't remember anything. It was only when you told me that I understood … that in these three years, I actually created so many evil creatures."
"Is that so?"
Qin Shi was shocked when he heard that. He understood that the evil force that the Undying Taoist mentioned was referring to was the Fiendish Evil Qi. It was just that ordinary people had never come into contact with the Fiendish Evil Qi and did not know what the Evil Qi was. He thought to himself, "If that's the case, then my guess is right. The old man's Evil Qi was indeed caused by treating Li Minghao. It seems that Li Minghao's illness is also related to the Fiendish Evil Qi."
"Hmm, now that I think about it, I saw that the kid was crazy previously. It was indeed caused by the Evil Qi that shattered his sea of consciousness."
The Undying Taoist did not know what Qin Shi and the Blood Shaman were talking about. He suddenly raised his head and asked with concern, "Oh right, little brother, how is my disciple now?
It's been three years, has anyone cured his illness? "
Qin Shi squinted his eyes and let out a long sigh. "Hmm, his illness has been cured, but he has also lost his mind and gone mad."
"Gone mad?" The Undying Taoist's eyes narrowed. His sorrow was extremely obvious. "How, how did this happen?
That kid has the world in his heart and is extremely kind. How did he end up like this?
Isn't the heavens a little too unfair? "
"The Heavens?"
Qin Shi was stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but mock. In his opinion, there were far too many unjust things in the world. Good people didn't live long, while scourges lived for a thousand years. Was there any lack of such examples in this world?
Therefore, he had never thought of relying on the Heavens. He wanted to rely on his own efforts to create everything that belonged to him and protect the people he cared about. If the Heavens were to stop him, then he would defy the Heavens.
Pfft!
Suddenly, the Undying Taoist's body trembled violently. His eyes that had just regained some luster twitched and dimmed again. He spat out a mouthful of blood from his abdomen.
Within the bloodstains, there were some black threads of baleful aura. Seeing this scene, Qin Shi's eyes turned slightly cold. "The baleful aura in his body is starting to become unstable again?"
"Yes. Although his consciousness has been awakened by you, he will be controlled by the Evil Qi sooner or later if we don't find the source of the Evil Qi in his body." The Blood Shaman nodded.
Qin Shi realized the severity of the situation. He did not dwell on the topic of Li Minghao. Instead, he spoke to the Undying Taoist, "Elder, your injuries have yet to recover. Do you know where the source of the evil force in your body is?"
"Source?"
The Undying Taoist thought for a moment and looked inside himself. However, Qin Shi had already observed his body. Qin Shi did not find anything. He did not understand what the Evil Qi was, so how could there be any results?
"I don't know either." He shook his head.
This made Qin Shi's expression turn ugly. If he could not find the source of the Evil Qi, his Spirit Meridians would be occupied by the Evil Qi sooner or later and he would return to his original state.
Moreover, he realized that the Evil Qi in the Undying Taoist's body would be stronger than the previous time. As time went by, it might develop into a situation that even he would not be able to control.
"Eh? Little fellow, the source of this baleful aura shouldn't be within this old fellow's body. Take a closer look. Although this baleful aura seems to be compatible with his body, it is mixed with some unusual Spiritual Energy. This Spiritual Energy doesn't belong to this old fellow. I believe that the owner of this energy should be the true host of this baleful aura."
"Hmm?"
Qin Shi was stunned for a moment. Then, his pupils dilated and an invisible aura penetrated the Undying Taoist. He could not help but frown. At this moment, the Evil Qi appeared in the Undying Taoist's Dantian again. Upon closer inspection, it was just as the Blood Shaman had said. Other than the Undying Taoist's spiritual power, the Evil Qi also contained a spiritual power that was incompatible with the Undying Taoist's.
"Really?"
Qin Shi exclaimed and held the Undying Taoist's shoulder. "Old senior, it might hurt a little, but please hold on and don't move!
I'll help you dispel the evil power. Otherwise, it'll be too late. "
With that, he didn't give the Undying Daoist a chance to react. He found the right time and reached out with his withered hand, grabbing the strand of baleful aura from the Undying Daoist's spiritual vein. The pain almost made the Undying Daoist faint, but fortunately, his bones were tough enough. He just bent over and didn't make a sound.
At this moment, Qin Shi retracted his hand. There was a struggling Evil Qi in his hand. He snorted. "Hmph, you still won't give in?
Don't blame me then. "
"Withdraw!"
The Evil Spirit Totem flickered, and in the blink of an eye, it swallowed the Evil Spirit Qi in Qin Shi's hand. Then, Qin Shi used his Telekinesis power to control the unusual spiritual power in the Evil Spirit Qi.
The spiritual power turned green and struggled in Qin Shi's hand. From time to time, it could even let out a sharp bird cry.
The Undying Daoist was stunned for a moment. Then, his old eyes flickered with surprise and he said, "This, this is my Little Mo?"
"Little Mo?" Qin Shi frowned and said, "Old senior, is this Little Mo the owner of this Spiritual Energy?
Do you know him? "
