MTL - Estranged-Chapter 131 If it is born by cause and condition, if it is destroyed by cause and condition, it is linked together, one drink and one peck.
Using beads as cauldrons and souls as pills, refining souls for cultivators to improve their cultivation, monsters like succubi and fox spirits will never spend a lot of time training soul-gathering beads, they will only directly absorb energy and soul , for your own use.
In other words, the Soul Gathering Orb is something for monks.
To be more precise, it is a common method used by demon cultivators.
Seeing the Soul Gathering Orb, Yao Wangnian naturally thought that a certain demon cultivator was here to kill people and refine the soul. He didn't try to scare the snake away, he just took the Soul Gathering Orb away, just killed the succubus, and continued to lurk in the well, waiting for someone to take the Soul Gathering Orb away beads.
Yao Wangnian waited for three full days, but no one showed up within three days. Just when he thought he had made a mistake in his judgment, someone showed up.
"The opponent's cultivation base is very high, I am not an opponent. After a fight, I was lucky enough to be injured and escaped. After returning, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, because at that time I set up a formation in the well, called the Sanyuan Formation. This formation is not difficult to solve. , It’s just a little out of the way, ordinary people would never think of a solution, but the opponent not only cracked it quickly, but also reversed the three-walled formation with the five thunder talisman into the extreme fire formation.”
"The opponent is a master at using formations." Chi Bijiang said.
She herself is good at setting up formations and dismantling formations, and she understands the difficulty of reacting and modifying formations quickly in such a short period of time.
Jiang Li is more concerned about this person's identity: "Who is he?"
Yao Wangnian said indifferently: "He hides his appearance, and he has never even heard his voice. I can't tell, but as long as a monk thinks about it, there are many ways to disguise his identity."
Jiang Lidao: "About the Sanyuan Formation, I have seen it in the Buddhist scripture building of our school. This formation was created by the third generation lord of the Wanjian Xianzong. Foreign enemies invaded, and as the years passed, this formation was modified by successive suzerains and gradually abandoned, so few people know about it."
But it is clearly recorded in the Sutra Library that the Sanyuan Formation is unique to the Wanjian Immortal Sect, and there is no such thing anywhere else in the world.
Yao Wangnian is obsessed by nature, and when he has doubts, he has to investigate further. He originally wanted to go back to the village to investigate after healed his injuries, but when he returned, he found that none of the 117 people in the village were spared, and they all lay neatly on the ground. At home, I have been dead for a long time, and I have no soul.
Not only that, Yao Wangnian also smelled a vague fragrance, although he had been prepared for a long time, he was also in a trance.
"At that time, some disciples from Shenxiao Xianfu happened to pass by the village, and they clashed with me. The two sides fought, and I killed one of their disciples. But I have been confused about this memory, and I can't remember it completely. It's like Something stuck in my head at the time."
Jiang Li: "Is that the scent?"
Yao Wangnian: "Maybe, I was injured later, they captured me, and brought me back to Wanjian Xianzong for questioning. At that time, I was seriously injured and emotionally excited, and I was already in a state of madness."
Jiang Li: "I also remember this incident. Later, the master took people to the village to search for clues, and found that those villagers were killed by the succubus and had nothing to do with you. At the scene, you would be mistaken for the murderer only if you were bumped into by someone from the Wanjian Immortal Sect. But since you were injured, you have been depressed and irritable, which is very different from the past, until the night when a fire burned down the scripture building. "
Yao Wangnian sneered: "But don't you think it's strange? Why was I conspired to be insane when I went back to investigate, and it happened that I met a disciple of Shenxiao Xianfu? I was caught by the people of Shenxiao Xianfu, so I I can’t continue the investigation. If the dream monster really did it, does the mere dream monster have the wisdom of such a clever layout? Master brought people to that village, is it to help me get rid of the crime, or to destroy the evidence? "
Even though Jiang Li had been mentally prepared for a long time, his expression changed slightly when he was questioned.
"You suspect Master, purely out of these coincidences?"
Yao Wangnian paused every word: "That night, I smelled that fragrance again. It was the same as the village that was massacred. I chased the fragrance and ran out, chasing all the way into the Buddhist scripture building, and then the Buddhist scripture building caught fire."
Jiang Li couldn't speak for a while, but found his voice after a while: "Even so, why do you doubt Master's evidence?"
Yao Wangnian: "That night, the person who fought with me in the scripture building and seriously injured me was the same person who fought with me in the village well that day. When he was dying, I saw him walking towards me step by step. , that figure, that silhouette, will never be mistaken."
In fact, it's not just Jiang Li who can't believe it, even Yao Wangnian suspects that he is hallucinating because of his serious injury.
Over the years, his face has been completely changed, he can't live or die, but he still persists in wanting the truth. After seven or eight years of being a ghost cultivator and thinking that he has achieved a considerable level of cultivation, he seeks out his master, Master Luomei, in the hope of ever since. He found clues on the opponent, but Luomei's cultivation was so high that he didn't dare to get close at all. He couldn't even enter the Wanjian Immortal Sect, so he could only guard from a distance.
Finally, one day, Luomei appeared in the back mountain outside the sect with a teleportation magic weapon, and was noticed by Yao Wangnian. The latter immediately followed, and followed Luomei all the way to leave the territory of Wanjian Xianzong, and went to Xiaoyang Village, which was slaughtered in the past.
When all the people died, the village had long been deserted and turned into a mass grave.
He saw Luomei going down the well with his own eyes, and there was a buzzing in his ears, as if something exploded in his heart.
"You also followed?" When Jiang Li asked this sentence, the hands hidden under the sleeves even trembled slightly.
"No, I can't get too close to him, so I can only guard outside. After a long time, when he came out and left again, I went back to that well. Guess what I saw?" Yao Wangnian under the mask seemed He laughed mockingly, but he didn't wait for others to answer, so he continued, "I saw many bones that I hadn't seen before, and I smelled that familiar fragrance."
Jiang Li's face was pale.
He didn't consider the possibility that Yao Wangnian would deceive him, because Yao Wangnian didn't have to do so.
Under the Luomei seat, Yao Wangnian, Jiang Li, and several other disciples were all outstanding cultivation geniuses, but among them, Yao Wangnian was the most popular, and he was undoubtedly the one who would inherit Luomei's mantle. He has more hopes and concerns than other disciples. If there was no accident, he would still be the most popular elder brother of Wanjian Immortal Sect.
Yao Wangnian's affection for Master will only be heavier than Jiang Li and other juniors, not lighter. Jiang Li couldn't imagine how Yao Wangnian felt when he released these results step by step.
Only with the same fragrance, it is impossible for Yao Wangnian to go back to Wanjianxianzong to identify Luomei, not to mention that he is already a ghost in the eyes of the world, and he is also a scum traitor that Wanjianxianzong does not want to mention.
"I heard that Daoist Luomei retreated, and you presided over the affairs of the sect on your behalf. Not long after, I saw you staying here in Hongluo Town incognito. There are also my old friends in the town, and it is because of them that I have not lost my mind and wanted to find out the truth. However, since I had the idea of telling you the truth and managed to get close to you, Hongluo Town One after another murders began to appear, and I began to suspect that the real murderer behind the scenes deliberately pushed all the suspicions on me."
Yao Wangnian knew that he should go to see Jiang Li and tell everything, but the two hadn't seen each other for ten years, and he couldn't fully trust Jiang Li, and he couldn't guarantee whether Jiang Li would believe him after learning about these things. Will she choose to stand on the side of Reverend Luomei, point him as a rebellious murderer, and break with him?
Jiang Li was silent for a while: "I know Yao Wangnian, who is talented, but never proud of it. He is bold and forthright, and he is too kind to his brothers. Ten years later, I still think so. Eldest brother, this matter is over, I'll accompany you back to the sect, and ask the master to clarify in person, okay?"
Yao Wangnian: "Do you believe me?"
Jiang Li: "I believe in our friendship from childhood to adulthood, and even more in your character."
The two were relatively speechless, and Yun Weisi suddenly whispered: "I see!"
He didn't want to interrupt the old relationship between Yao Wangnian and Jiang Li, but when he heard Yao Wangnian say this, he felt a sense of transparency in his heart, as if there was a thread in the dark that connected everything from the beginning to the end. , and finally get it together—
The collusion between Luomei and the demon should be much earlier than they thought.
Before the ascension failed to win the disciple, Luomei must have gone through the bottleneck stage of improving his cultivation. He had already had a vague expectation that the end of the ascension would be equal to death, and began to prepare for another path, using the soul-gathering orb to practice Divine soul, preparing for the future seizure of the house, no one would have thought that the majestic master of the Wanjianxian sect would have such a side behind him.
But Luomei didn't expect that what he thought was a secret was actually broken by his big disciple Yao Wangnian who went out to practice. He became murderous and made Yao Wangnian die with a stigma through the perfect layout, but he didn't expect Yao Wangnian's resentment after death He was so big that he actually supported him to become a ghost cultivator himself, and he still didn't forget to find the truth of the year.
When Luomei found out that the brothers Yao Wangnian and Jiang Li reunited in Hongluo Town by accident, she was worried that Yao Wangnian would tell the truth to Jiang Li, so she secretly created a tragedy in Hongluo Town. The trend pushed to Yao Wangnian.
Without the appearance of Yun Weisi and Chang Ming, Jiang Li would only think that Yao Wangnian would practice with his life after he became a ghost cultivator, which would further confirm the suspicion that Yao Wangnian went mad to refine the Soul Gathering Orb. Maybe there will be no chance to meet to reveal the truth. Hongluo Town will end with Yao Wangnian's death. Jiang Li, who thinks he has the answer, will only return to the sect with a full stomach. He will never know what's going on here. What kind of upheavals and surprises are involved, maybe until his death, he didn't know that it was his most respected and beloved master who attacked him.
Yun Weisi's eyes fell on Chi Bijiang.
This woman may not have seen everything from the beginning to the end, she may have glimpsed a little bit of it, or she may know the inside story by chance, but she cannot compete with Luo Mei, so she can only use the layout to embed variables in the Liuhe Candle Sky Formation.
And this change is the opportunity for Yun Weisi and Jiufang Changming to come to the past.
If it is born by cause and condition, if it is destroyed by cause and condition, it is linked together, one drink and one peck.
The formation in front of him should have been set up by Luomei to trap them.
But what about Luomei?
Did he not show up because he wanted to wait for them to be trapped to death, or did he have other plans, so he had no time to clone himself?
Yun Weisi suddenly thought of Jiufang Changming—
Could it be? !
His complexion changed suddenly, his thoughts turned, his hands formed seals, and his spiritual power poured out like wind and sand, pushing towards the black mist outside the golden thread!
Yun Weisi couldn't completely push the black mist away, and could only open a small opening. Amidst the groaning sound, a black figure leaped up from his feet, and rushed towards the torn opening, breaking through. Come out, there is no one in sight!
"Go to Master first!" Yun Weisi roared behind him.
The dog whined faintly, but soon disappeared from the distance.
If Zhou Ke could speak, he must have wanted to growl at this moment: You remember calling me Shizun now? ah? ! Didn't you trick Master to call you Senior Brother earlier? You rebellious thing, wait for me to come back and deal with you!
