Chapter 231 The Holy Religion Behind Qi Bai

"The Corpse Refining Sect is just what you outsiders call it. We call ourselves the Holy Sect!"

Qi Bai's eyes were dull and he spoke slowly.

He had no idea about the origin of the Holy Religion. He only knew that he had been living on an island ever since he could remember, and the island was full of children of his own age.

This memory seemed to touch some of the fear in his heart.

At first glance, an island full of children might seem like a happy place, but it isn't.

As he grew older, Qi Bai discovered that his playmates would become fewer and fewer over time. If he didn't see someone when he woke up the next day, he would never see them again.

"We didn't have our own names. My name wasn't Qi Bai at first. All we had on the island were our own numbers. I'm 1743."

This name accompanied me for a long time, until I was ten years old and it was my turn to be taken away.

"Is there any pattern when you are taken away? Or what conditions are met?"

Ling Wu Ce thought for a moment and then asked.

Qi Bai shook his head. Maybe there was a pattern but he didn't know it, or maybe there was no pattern. As for the conditions, how could he think so much at his age at that time?

His vague memory only remembered that there were exactly one hundred children leaving the island that time, including him.

A huge ship was docked outside the island. As soon as the children got on the ship, they fell asleep one by one for unknown reasons. Now thinking about it, it must be a means to prevent them from knowing the location of the island.

Even now he cannot find the location of the island, and all he can remember are the years he spent on the island.

"We woke up and found ourselves in a building."

When Ling Wu Ce said this, his heart skipped a beat, because according to Ma Zhou's description, he had also entered such a building.

As guessed, this was confirmed in Qi Bai's subsequent narration.

"We were divided into three groups inside the building and then taken away by different people."

Qi Bai and his group were taken to the second floor, where the pungent smell of medicine was everywhere. Wooden barrels were spread all over the floor, and then they were asked to take off their clothes and get into the barrels. After entering, someone would come and pour some medicine soup in.

They were allowed to come out only after they had soaked for three full days and their bones were almost softened.

After putting on their clothes, the group of children were taken to the third floor. The situation there was simple. Each of them was given a pill to eat and then take a nap.

Ling Wu Ce asked curiously while looking at the palace guard records beside him.

"Just a nap?"

Qi Bai smiled strangely, a little creepy, and he spoke slowly.

"When I woke up, more than half of my companions were missing!"

Everyone who heard it felt a chill down their spine, and even if they realized it belatedly, they could still guess the fate of the half-missing child.

The remaining people were eventually taken to the fourth floor.

"What's the fourth floor?"

Han Yu also spoke out curiously. After going through such strict layers of screening, what kind of answer will be waiting?

Yes, everyone realizes that this is screening.

"On the fourth floor... there's an old lady!"

Qi Bai opened his mouth slightly and said in a hoarse voice.

Everyone was waiting for the next words, but after waiting for a while, nothing came.

"Gone?"

The fourth level is just one sentence about an old lady?
Ling Wu Ce scratched his head, feeling a bit like a storyteller stopping at the most exciting part.

Indeed, my only impression of the fourth floor was that I saw an old lady and that was it.

"I only understood it when I became a monk. It was there that my sea of ​​consciousness was opened up!"

Qi Bai's words shocked Han Yu. If he heard correctly, what the other party meant was that after going to the fourth floor, his sea of ​​consciousness was opened up artificially, and it was opened up by external forces, not by his own possession or acquired through cultivation.

Therefore, the corpse refining lineage also has extremely deep attainments in supernatural powers.

The way of weapons, supernatural powers, corpse refining, and ghosts. If you count the process of taking medicine that Qi Bai has experienced, it should also be a kind of mysterious elixir. Doesn't it mean that the way of alchemy is also involved? How many things are there that they don't know?

"That's not right. Since you were raised by the so-called holy religion, how did you join the evil way?"

Ye Hei raised his own doubts. Considering Qi Bai's age at that time, it was too much of a joke to let him be used as a nail to drive into other forces. No one was a fool and could be deceived by a ten-year-old child.

"Coming down from the fourth floor, I went to a palace where I got my own name, Qi Bai."

As if he didn't hear Ye Hei's question, he continued to speak.

Another palace? The last time Ma Zhou fainted in the building, he was last seen in a palace, where he met with a mysterious person.

"The person he met was me."

Qi Bai spoke.

After Ma Zhou's situation was tampered with, he was the one who came forward to talk to him.

Ling Wu Ce was immediately overjoyed and asked repeatedly, "Where is that place?"

As long as we can find the palace, we might be able to find the stronghold of the corpse refining lineage in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, Qi Bai shook his head and said, "I don't know."

do not know?
"It's not just me. No one in Huangquan Mansion knows how to get there. When we need to go back, there will be special people to help us get back using special means."

Special means?

Han Yu's heart moved. Could it be that he was going back using the command flag?
"Even our own understanding of the Holy Religion is only the tip of the iceberg."

Qi Bai’s deepest realization is that everyone’s life is actually just arranged, and they play their own role when the Holy Religion needs it.

Just like the question Ye Hei asked, after he came out of the palace, he truly stepped into the world for the first time with his own name.

There are mountains, water, villages, and even one’s own “parents”.

As Qi Bai, he began to integrate into the place, and his memories of the island, floors, and palaces seemed to disappear all at once, as if it were just a dream.

Three years, he lived a normal and ordinary life as a child, and then one day someone came and took him away.

There are rumors outside that he was adopted by the leader of Wuyou Sect, but in fact, he was just kidnapped and brought to Wuyou Valley to become an inconspicuous disciple.

Then he gradually emerged and was discovered by the sect leader and accepted as a disciple.

At the age of 26, he had already made a great reputation in the evil ways, and was even appreciated by the sect master, becoming one of the most sought-after successors. It was at that time that the people of the Holy Church found him and restored his memories.

"What would happen if one day you found out that you were not yourself, but a member of the Holy Church?"

Qi Bai's eyes swept across the faces of several people one by one, speaking with sarcasm.

Ye Hei's face immediately turned pale, and he hurriedly recalled his short first twenty years. Fortunately, all his memories since he could remember were still there, and there seemed to be nothing special.

But I’m still worried. What if I missed a few years?
Huangfu Liang was even more suspicious of himself because he was an orphan and his memories of his childhood were very vague. He made a bitter face whenever he thought about it.

Could it be that I am also an undercover agent?
"I think you look alike."

The spirit in the sea of ​​consciousness spoke jokingly.

roll!
Han Yu immediately responded angrily with a dark face.

Ling Wuce's expression was gloomy, but he did not doubt himself. If it was as Qi Bai said, and there was such a person on the fifth floor, as long as he was not used for one day, no one would be able to detect it, not even the undercover agent himself.

What happened next was much more straightforward. Qi Bai learned his identity and was once again taken back to the mysterious building.

This time he went up to the fifth floor, and it was still the same old lady!
He fell into a coma after taking a pill. When he woke up this time, he found the Five Ghosts Moving Power in his forgotten sea of ​​consciousness.

This is not a temporary magical power, but a magical power that is truly planted in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Under the cultivation of the Holy Church, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and he achieved great perfection in just a few years.

Also under the arrangement of the Holy Church, the leader of Wuyou Sect died "reasonably", and he succeeded to the throne smoothly. From then on, he led Wuyou Valley to work for the Holy Church.

In less than a few years, he became the "Horse-faced Master" of the Holy Church's Huangquan Palace!
This is the life that was arranged for me...

"Your means of travel should be to use a flag, right?"

Only then did Han Yu ask about his earlier doubts.

"You mean the Sky Banner?"

Qi Bai said the name of the command flag. The Tianxing Flag was indeed refined by combining the Five Ghosts' Moving Power. Because he was the owner of the Five Ghosts' Moving Power, he could not hide this fact, and the Holy Church did not hide it either.

Anyone in Huangquan Mansion who has made enough achievements can be rewarded with this item.

A command flag can be used to set up a center of the formation, and one can move back and forth within the center of the formation, with the longest distance even reaching ten miles.

However, this is not their means of travel.

"Except for the time when I was brought back from Wuyou Valley, I went back and forth once from Baidi City and once from Southern Xinjiang."

A total of three times, each time the location was completely different, which was obviously far beyond the capabilities of the Tianxing Flag.

"So, besides the Skywalker Flag, you have other means of transporting people over long distances."

Han Yu was thoughtful. The Five Ghosts Moving Method itself was already a very strange method. The method the middle-aged man used to move the Bai family and the method Niu Tou used to escape all proved that the corpse refining lineage behind the other party had already developed this magical power to the extreme.

The Tianxing Flag's ability to teleport within a ten-mile radius is terrifying enough in itself, but is there an even more powerful means of teleportation?
"That's a magic weapon... No, it's a bridge!"

Qi Bai described intermittently that this magic weapon would only be held by the person in charge of traveling back and forth in the palace. When the magic weapon was used, it would turn into a bridge, and one could walk from the beginning to the end of the bridge and return to the palace every time.

This was no longer an ability he could comprehend.

"Besides this, what else do you know?"

Seeing that Qi Bai had completely stopped, Ling Wuce continued to ask.

However, the other party just shook his head. This was all he knew about the Holy Church.

"I was just a tool that was picked out and sent out. If I hadn't survived the fourth level by chance, my fate might have been similar to Bai Bufen's. I would have lost that memory forever and completely become a low-level tool."

"If you want to know more, go find those who only have nicknames but no real names. They are the ones who have been kept in the Holy Church for training."

Ling Wu Ce took the opportunity to ask, "Who are these people you are talking about?"

"The Judge of Huangquan Mansion also has Niutou."

Qi Bai opened his mouth slightly and said.

Another new character appears, the judge?
"Impossible. If you count the Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Guards, the Black and White Impermanence, and the Judge, don't you think the so-called Huangquan Palace only has this many people?"

Ling Wu Ce frowned. In the massive melee in Dongling City, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Ox-Head and Horse-Face brought thousands of troops. But now it was said that Huangquan Prefecture only had such a small number of people?

"The Huangquan Mansion is like an organization responsible for execution. Manpower is only deployed at specific times. Normally, there are only a few people. However, if one dies, another will be added."

In the final analysis, it is just a slightly more advanced tool, and tools can be replaced at any time, Qi Bai laughed at himself.

"Who arranged it?"

How many organizations are there above Huangquan Mansion?
Ling Wu Ce no longer had time to guess, as the hidden strength of the corpse refining lineage was too great.

Just what Qi Bai said was enough to make Quan Xiaotong pull his hair out.

"I heard Niutou let it slip once, the Palace of Hades! As for the rest, I have nothing more to say."

Qi Bai had already poured out everything he knew, and now all he wanted was to die quickly.

He glanced at Han Yu and suddenly spoke.

"If you can let me die more easily, I can give you a piece of advice."

After hearing this, Han Yu nodded without thinking.

"Okay, you say."

Qi Bai seemed to have thought of something happy and gradually smiled.

"You possess three magical powers, which is something the Holy Church has never been able to do. And you have that weird elixir. The Holy Church will never let you go."

"You might be cut into pieces like a cocoon, or dragged alive to undergo various cruel experiments. If that day comes, you will definitely be worse off than dead."

After saying this, Qi Bai burst into laughter.

Han Yu frowned and slowly squatted down, then slowly extended his index finger and placed it on the other person's forehead.

"Finished?"

Qi Bai gradually stopped talking and his face became calm.

"Go ahead! Don't forget your promise."

After Han Yu nodded slightly, the fire energy slowly entered the other's head through his index finger. Qi Bai just felt the burning sensation when he heard a loud bang in his head, and there was nothing else.

After he stood up, Qi Bai was completely dead. A stream of white flames extended from his head to his entire body. In just a moment, only a trace of ash remained. After the evening breeze blew away, there was no trace left...
