Black Myth: Starting from the Destined One-Chapter 43 - 39 Temptations (Please Follow)

Due to insufficient evidence, the police were unable to label it definitively and could only investigate slowly.

The next day, the boss’s new lover died the same way. On the third day, the boss’s wife also checked into the Silver Dragon Hotel and died that night, in the exact same manner. On the fourth day, Xiao Xianlü’s mother-in-law committed suicide inside the detention center…

Four people died over four consecutive days. The police immediately sealed off the Silver Dragon Tower, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving. But every midnight, knocking sounds would occur, and anyone who answered the door would die in the same manner.

Li Ping’an listened quietly, his heart undisturbed.

If this had been before he entered the world of “Black Myth: The Fated One,” he would have assumed there was a psychotic killer hidden inside the Silver Dragon Hotel.

But now, with his Divine Skills: Secluded Cave and Divine Dispatch, he could be sure that there was a ghost in the Silver Dragon Tower, and not just any ghost, but a fierce ghost filled with immense resentment.

Having personally witnessed demons and ghosts in “Black Myth: Wukong,” he now found it common to hear of or even see ordinary demons.

He had also fully understood the purpose of Wanyan Mengwen’s visit—she wanted him to deal with the fierce ghost in the Silver Dragon Tower.

Not to mention, with Li Ping’an’s current strength, although he couldn’t handle the Six Demons of Five Fingers Peak, dealing with a fierce ghost was still well within his grasp.

But what did this have to do with him? Using his powers under the watchful eye of the police was like screaming out loud that he possessed Divine Skills, wasn’t it?

No, he definitely shouldn’t go. He would never get involved in things that didn’t concern him!

Li Ping’an made up his mind. The incident with anchorwoman Zhou Shufenzi had already cast a shadow over him. Even if Wanyan Mengwen spoke flowers today, he would not go. He immediately let go of Wanyan Mengwen’s hand and shook his head:

“This case really is a bit scary, but why are you telling me this? As the saying goes, professionals are found among the common folk. Go look for them, like the fortune-tellers at temple gates, the fat-headed monks in temples, the bull-nosed Taoists in monasteries.”

“Do I need you to teach me that?”

Wanyan Mengwen spread her hands in frustration and said,

“We’ve sought out all the people you mentioned, we even borrowed some Taoist artifacts from the museum, hoping to suppress the fierce ghost, but all to no avail.”

“Hold on!”

Li Ping’an suddenly perked up, his eyes lighting up:

“The Taoist artifacts you just mentioned that were borrowed from the museum, what exactly are they?”

“They’re Taoist books.”

Wanyan Mengwen tried hard to recall:

“I don’t remember very clearly, but it seems they were scriptures written by ancestors from different Taoist sects like Lu Chunyang, Zhong Hanli, Bai Yuchan, Zhang Sanfeng, and the like. Many are unique copies, and some are even written in blood. However, they were of no use, and our people are preparing to return them.”

“…”

Li Ping’an nearly burst into laughter, excited. What he was currently lacking the most was Taoist literature that could enhance his cultivation, absorb spiritual essence, and channel qi into the sea.

Take, for instance, Lu Dongbin. His original name was Lu Yan, known as Dongbin and styled Chunyangzi. He called himself the Returning Taoist, was reputed by his courtesy name Dongbin, and was a native of Hedong Pu Province Hezhong Prefecture during the Tang Dynasty, an ancestor of the Taoist Alchemy Cauldron sect, and revered as the Mysterious Taoist Celestial Venerable.

He was venerated by the Complete Perfection strand of Taoism as one of the “Northern Five Ancestors,” rumored to be a disciple of My Lord the King.

Then there’s Zhong Hanli. Zhong Hanli’s real name was Zhong Li Quan. His surname was Zhong Li, his given name Quan, courtesy name Yunfang, with an alternative name Jidao, and styled Zhengyangzi. He was a man from the Han Dynasty who encountered Iron-Crutch Li, from whom he learned the secrets of longevity, the alchemical phases of the Golden Core, and the Green Dragon Swordsmanship. Zhong Hanli thereby entered the ranks of the immortals.

Later, Zhong Hanli met Hua Yangzhenren, who taught him the Taoyi Daogu, Fire Talisman Inner Core, and the mystic ways of Xuanxuan. He also acquired the Jade Casket’s secret teaching on Zhongnan’s Purple Gold Four Brilliances Peak, ultimately achieving Dao and becoming a True Immortal.

Then there’s Bai Yuchan. Originally named Ge Changgeng, styled Baisou, also known as Haiqiongzi, Hainan Weng, and others, commonly called Master Ziqing, a Taoist of the Southern Song Dynasty. He studied under Chen Nan, the fourth generation master of the Taoist Southern Sect, thoroughly mastered his teachings, and, following his master’s instructions, went to Mount Lishan, where he received the teachings of “Upper Annotation Talisman Cave Mystic Accumulated Technique” from a real person. He founded the Southern Sect of Taoism, being one of the “Southern Five Ancestors.”

He was summoned to the Taiyi Palace to lecture on Daoism for the Emperor and was granted the title of Master Mingdao Ziqing.

There was also Zhang Sanfeng, who practiced cultivation on Mount Zhongnan and apprenticed under Fire Dragon Zhenren to obtain the Golden Core principles, died and came back to life, and those in Taoism referred to him as “Yang Spirit roaming.” Later, at Mount Wudang, he wrote down the blood scriptures with his essence blood, which even the founding Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang, sought after to no avail!

If one could obtain the scriptures written by these immortals who had truly transcended and ascended in the past, what then?

Previously, the “Yellow Court Classic” Li Ping’an studied was like entering The Way of the Great Dao, similar to the main trunk of a tree, and those scriptures written by the immortals that Wanyan Mengwen mentioned were various cultivation techniques, comparable to branches and twigs.

If he could carefully study these Taoist scriptures and peer into their mysteries, he was sure to benefit greatly. Perhaps he might even find the secret to absorbing spiritual essence and channeling qi into the sea!

“I can solve this problem for you, but you have to agree to two conditions,”

Li Ping’an, invigorated, made his own demands.

“Good! We can agree to anything within our power,”

Wanyan Mengwen looked at Li Ping’an expectantly.
