Wet viviparity

Chapter 487: Evil Punishment, Calling the White Crane
After capturing Baicaozi, Ji Ming suddenly felt a deep and terrifying malice that was not possessed by ordinary cultivators. His eyes quickly swept through the ancestral temple below, passing over the faces that dared to be angry but not to speak.

He did not find the source of the malicious intent. Ji Ming guessed that it must be a hidden master in the Xinglin lineage, but he felt that this guess was untenable.

Ji Ming remained expressionless, not showing any sign of preparing Baicaozi properly. Instead, he acted quite kindly, wrapping Baicaozi's body lightly with strong winds, and the magic planted on his soul was soothing his heart.

"go!"

Ji Ming said to Xuantan and Qian Geng.

When the strong wind blew away Ji Ming, Xuan Tan, and Qian Geng, the crying old ancestor in the backyard of the family temple finally showed his head, lowered his head and murmured, "This is the [Cangpin Golden Pill]. How could his grandmother's Yin Spirit be so sharp that it almost noticed me.

Baicaozi, you are a cowardly old dog. You only know how to resist when disaster strikes. Your shallow sense of fighting is really ridiculous.

Poor old ancestor, my plan could have been a win-win for both of us, but now I can only go to Junior Brother Leng and trick the "Mirage Dragon Spirit Cell" into my hand to please Master and Mistress first.

Damn it, I swore an oath to my master's wife that I would make sure she was born early."

Thinking of his master's wife's voice and appearance, Old Ancestor Ku Ma felt both obsessed and fearful.

Strong winds swept across the sky, leaving behind residual clouds. Soon, they fell to the ground, and Baicaozi's body was thrown into the grass ditch like pieces. Seeing this, Master Xuantan frowned and his bad premonition became stronger.

He saw Lingxuzi standing in front of him with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance as if in a trance, and he didn't know how to question him for the moment.

"Brother Xuantan, I won't speak in secret in front of you. I am not going to send Baicaozi back to the upper house."

Ji Ming said with his back to Master Xuantan.

"Sure enough." Xuantan Zhenren said secretly, confirming his premonition. Many words came to his mind at once, but he found that these words were meaningless. He knew that once Lingxuzi made up his mind, it would be difficult to change it.

Finally he asked, "How are you going to explain this to the government?"

He did not oppose Lingxuzi's words at the first moment. He knew that Lingxuzi had temporarily replaced him because he must have grasped one of his weaknesses, a weakness that was known to everyone on the mountain - lifespan.

On Mount Taiping, he and Taoist Xiyang were the only ones who entered Taoism late and formed the elixir late, so their lifespans were wasted. In recent years, they have been basically going around collecting elixirs in order to achieve reincarnation and avert disaster.

Calculating the time, in a few decades at most, I will have to take the initiative to transform the calamity in order to seek afterlife. It is still unknown whether I can overcome the mystery in the womb by then. It is still a bit risky to transform the calamity in the fourth realm of Jindan after all.

"Baicaozi resisted during the journey, but fled out of fear of punishment, and his whereabouts are unknown."

Ji Ming said so.

“This is a very crude statement.”

Ji Ming nodded, his eyes firm, and said: "It is a bit rough, and there will be criticism in the future, but some things are not done just because they are beneficial, and some things are not not done just because they are harmful."

Seeing that Ji Ming was determined, Xuantan Zhenren knew that Baicaozi must have done something that touched Lingxuzi's bottom line. This was not difficult to guess. When the two gentlemen came back, their miserable appearance had caused an uproar among the disciples on the mountain.

This is also one of the reasons why many disciples are disheartened and are determined to go to Leiwen Mountain and Lake to join Lingxuzi despite the danger.

Ji Ming turned around. The reason why he called Master Xuantan over was because Master Xuantan still had many unfulfilled wishes before he turned into a calamity.

The tribulation is not a second chance to start over in life. People like Xuantan Zhenren are unlikely to be able to decipher the mystery in the womb. Even if someone is arranged in advance to guide you after the tribulation, it will be with a new consciousness and personality that you will enter the Tao for practice.

In such a situation, one must arrange the funeral affairs before the disaster.

Ji Ming gave his own conditions, saying: "Hong Qiong is friendly with me. As long as I am still in the mountain, I will protect her."

After he gave the conditions, Xuantan Zhenren showed no sign of satisfaction, but just smiled and said: "My senior brother Li Zhu Fashi and my master Zhenhu Weng can also do this guarantee, and they will definitely do better than you.

How about this? Since you have already refined the golden elixir, you don’t have to guard your Yuan Yang to death. Why not practice together with Qiong Er?”

"No!"

Ji Ming was afraid that Xuantan would mention this, so he flatly refused and said, "I have no intention of seeking a companion. Forcing this will definitely not bring good results. Brother, please change your request."

Xuantan was a little unwilling to give up, but reason told him that Lingxuzi was right and that forcing things would not bring good results. Even if they were two people who shared the same interests, the tests they would endure after becoming Taoist companions would be no less than those during cultivation.

This is also the reason why there are so few immortal couples in the world. The path to immortality is a matter of focusing on one's goal, and the relationship between husband and wife is naturally equated with trivial matters, which will inevitably hinder practice.

Many couples don't believe this and always take those few examples as examples, but in the end, it's just a mess. "I will let Qiong'er decide on this request herself. I hope you will make her satisfied."

Xuantan Zhenren said after careful consideration.

Although Lingxuzi asked him for help in covering up the matter of Baicaozi, the status of both of them was actually very delicate, and Xuantan Zhenren did not dare to force Lingxuzi too much.

"can."

Ji Ming replied.

Jiang Hongqiong is a woman with great ambitions. She is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. She is not an ordinary Kun Daoist woman on the mountain. Ji Ming believes that with Jiang Hongqiong's intelligence, she will not make any requests that would embarrass him.

After doing a good job of ideological work on Xuantan Zhenren, Ji Ming let go and deepened his magic on Baicaozi's Yin spirit, and began to conjure up all kinds of cruel punishments, such as pulling out the tongue and hanging up the tendons, pulling out the intestines and skinning, ice pools and fire pits, and mountains of knives and pots of oil.

The punishment may be illusory, but the pain is real.

Baicaozi was babbling, his skin was blue and red, with bloody wounds all over it, and blood spots were oozing out of his seven orifices. The damage caused by the magic and evil punishment had already spread from his soul to his body.

Gradually, the body began to twitch, and the tightly closed eyes suddenly opened wide, and then it fainted, and the Yin spirit also began to close itself.

"Humph!"

When Ji Ming saw Baicaozi Yinshen like this, he sneered in his heart.

He took out a pill of "Golden Liquid Water Pill" and put it into Baicaozi's mouth.

Qian Geng, who was standing by, felt his heart pounding. This was a good pill, one sold for seven hundred and sixty coins in the market. It could instantly unleash the potential of the body and boost the spirit, but it was undoubtedly the kind of elixir that Baicaozi was most reluctant to take.

Sure enough, after the elixir dissolved in Baicaozi's stomach, his Yin Spirit quickly awakened and he fell into torture again.

The facial features were twisted in agony, the nose was not a nose, the eyes were not eyes, blood mixed with dirt flowed from the mouth, and the limbs were twitching and twisting on the ground, like a tortured insect.

Qian Geng felt a chill run down his spine just by looking at it for a few seconds. When he was lost in thought, he heard the master shouting, and he responded quickly in fear.

"After I perform the ritual, you will take the herb seeds to the Jiangpu Mountain in Lingnan. I will teach you a secret formula. When the time comes, recite the formula on the mountain and a stele will appear. You will then tie him to it. Be sure not to touch the stele.

Once this is done, you can stay on the mountain to train the troops and refine Zhao Wangshen's Yuandan."

"Yes!"

Qian Geng responded.

Ji Ming understood very early on that in this world, death was just a rather easy ending, especially among unconventional ways. In certain situations, death could even be called a relief.

Ji Ming would not let Baicaozi be freed so early. On the one hand, it was difficult to vent the hatred in his heart, and on the other hand, he wanted to stop the loss.

Perhaps the upper house would reluctantly accept Baicaozi's excuse of escaping halfway, considering that he had just refined the golden elixir and was eager to take revenge. However, if he really killed Baicaozi, the upper house would definitely not cover for him.

The upper government has its own bottom line, and the Xinglin lineage will not give up. There is also the ten thousand acres of meritorious Xinglin, so Ji Ming had to spare Baicaozi's life for the time being.

But now Baicaozi would rather die than remain alive.

There was already a slight dark spot on Ji Ming's face.

This was the backlash after he tortured Baicaozi's Yin Shen, the backlash from the ten thousand acres of meritorious apricot forest. His mind was no longer clear, and all kinds of distracting thoughts were running around in his mind, and he couldn't stop them. This was the bitter fruit that Ji Ming had to suffer.

Of course, he also has a solution.

Ji Ming raised his hand and clapped his head, and a magic talisman floated out. Ji Ming began to use it to communicate with someone in Yanshou Palace.

Soon, this place was filled with auspicious aura, and hundreds of birds gathered here. A white crane with bright wings descended gracefully, like a light feather floating down, with its long beak held high with pride and its eyes glancing down slightly.

He noticed Baicaozi, his eyes lit up, and he said, "I know him."
