The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Does Chapter 974 look familiar?

Panting, Long Ling didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, and sat down directly on the ground.

This was the first time he had ever felt so tired; it felt like all his strength had been drained.

He couldn't help but wonder, "What kind of monster is inside this jar?!"

Xuan Chu looked at the jar. The dirt on it had been cleaned by the melted ice water, and the patterns on the jar were now visible.

The library in Tiandao Village contains many records of forbidden techniques. Before he left the village, he spent most of his time in the library.

The patterns on the jar looked very familiar to Xuan Chu.

"The pattern on this jar looks a bit like the one I once read in a forbidden book, but the description was very limited, only showing a portion of the pattern."

Xuan Chu was also somewhat bewildered at this moment. However, even if he couldn't figure out what it was for the time being, he didn't think about lifting the lid of the jar.

The little paper figure circled the jar once. It had thought the thing looked familiar before, and now, the more it looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.

After thinking for a moment, the little paper doll looked at Mo Zhi.

"Sister Mo Zhi, come and take a look. Doesn't this look a bit like those small jars we used when we fought against Aunt Rong?"

At that time, Mo Zhi was still the Ghost King, and the jar contained the Xuanmen people who had been killed by Rong Gu.

The master went to great lengths to open the gates of hell, and finally used the golden light of merit to give those people a chance to reincarnate.

Mo Zhi didn't remember much at first, but upon hearing the little paper doll's words...

That memory, like a movie playing in her mind, replayed itself.

The jar at that time was very small, about the same size as the kind of jars used to store things at home.

The jar in front of us is taller than a person and almost as big as a wine vat.

The jars that Rong Gu used to handle in my memory had no resemblance to this enormous jar.

However, when these two completely different jars are compared, one feels that there is some special connection between them.

"It's somewhat similar. I remember the monster in Aunt Rong's jar back then. It was incredibly fierce; it could devour a ghost king in one bite!"

Although Mo Zhi is cowardly, her intuition is very accurate. If she can win, she won't give an inch; if she can't win, she'll back down faster than anyone else.

At that moment, she truly felt that she was about to be eaten.

If it weren't for a master opening the gates to the ghost realm, those present at the time would probably be in grave danger.

Xuan Chu immediately became interested when he heard the conversation between the little paper figure and Mo Zhi, which also involved Rong Gu.

"Tell me in detail!"

Although it didn't know what use it was, the little paper figure still described the situation very carefully.

"In order to destroy those monsters that were specially raised, the master even summoned heavenly lightning. Many people in the Xuanmen sect even got the opportunity to temper their magical artifacts because of this!"

The little paper doll's body was also forged and perfected at that time.

Xuan Chu was momentarily stunned. In Rong Gu's hand was the forbidden book that had been lost from Tiandao Village.

"Could this also be some kind of forbidden technique? The Heavenly Path Village has existed for a very long time. Perhaps the records on it also apply to this world?"

After all, this world was not born on its own, but was deliberately sealed by the Heavenly Dao because of the Heavenly Book.

Upon hearing this, the little paper doll exclaimed, "It's a forbidden technique again!"

I find those lurking evil cultivators in the shadows really annoying. Why can't they be like their masters, taking one step at a time and cultivating properly?

They just had to do all this messy stuff.

If shortcuts were really that easy, then why do most of those who attain enlightenment and become immortals follow the righteous path?

At this moment, the little paper figure's thought process was incomprehensible to such evil cultivators who paid such a high price and were not even guaranteed to succeed.

Isn't this just a complete waste of time and life?

Fortunately, the little paper figure did not say these words directly, nor did it let those 'hard-working' evil cultivators hear them.

Otherwise, they would at least say: if the right path could lead to the pinnacle of life, they wouldn't be thinking of taking shortcuts. Do they really think everyone can compare to Yun Ran, that genius with talent?
After a while, Long Ling recovered some of the feeling that had been almost completely drained.

Instead of making all sorts of guesses here, why don't you let Yunran take a look first? Maybe she knows these things.

Unlike other orthodox sects that go to extremes, Yunran and Qingfeng Temple care more about the result than the process and means.

Therefore, Yun Ran also knows a lot about many forbidden or evil techniques that are considered untouchable by other righteous sects.

Xuan Chu thought about it and agreed. Besides, he no longer held the same opposing stance towards Yun Ran as before.

"I'll turn the water curtain back on for her to see!"

As he spoke, Xuan Chu took out another talisman. As the talisman burned, a water curtain appeared.

Yunran was already lying in bed, sleeping soundly.

Sensing the presence of talismans, the little paper figure stuck to the window gently shook Yunran awake.

They even thoughtfully brought Yunran a blanket to drape over her.

"Master, it seems that Xuan Chu and his group have made a significant discovery!"

Yunran sat up, and images gradually appeared on the water screen on her side.

"Has there been any major discovery?"

If not, Xuan Chu and his group wouldn't be looking for her so late.

Xuan Chu nodded: "Take a look at this jar. Does it look familiar?"

As he spoke, Xuan Chu stepped aside, revealing the entire jar.

The monsters inside the jar had already become listless and stopped roaring and howling.

However, in order to make Yun Ran understand more clearly, Xuan Chu directly threw an explosive talisman at the jar.

A series of weak roars suddenly rang out, mixed with the sounds of many living beings.

Yun Ran frowned slightly, and the first thing she thought of was the jar that Rong Gu had used against them before.

The only difference is that Rong Gu has more jars than here, and they are smaller.

"This is somewhat similar to a forbidden technique that Aunt Rong used before. The monster in that jar was raised using the souls of many living beings, like raising a venomous insect..."

Even though a long time has passed, Yunran can still remember how powerful that monster was back then.

In other words, Rong Gu hadn't raised those monsters long enough, so they hadn't fully developed, which gave her the opportunity to break through their defenses.
