Chapter 48 Yellow Fire Earth Submits

I am Shaoyang Taiyin, the one responsible for the dissolution of the body?
Huang Huotu finally lost his composure, his eyes filled with shock. It was already absurd enough that an old story involved a real-life case, but he, a police officer from the Taipei Police Department's Foreign Affairs Division, was also implicated.

He felt unwell, his voice weak, and asked, "What does 'disintegration' mean?"

Li Xuan said, "Those who want to become immortals must go through a final tribulation before they can leave their physical bodies and ascend to heaven. That tribulation is for you, a person of Lesser Yang and Greater Yin, to kill them! Perhaps out of gratitude, they will take you with them away from the mortal world and ascend to heaven... In the eyes of ordinary people, this is death."

death!

Huang Huotu doesn't want to die yet; his daughter can't speak yet, and his ex-wife hasn't mended their rift.

He still has many things to do; he can't just die because of something so absurd.

Li Xuan sensed that Huang Huotu's emotions were undergoing a dramatic change after the truth was prematurely revealed. His aura was no longer decadent but began to surge, a surge of desire for survival.

Huang Huotu said, word by word, "You just said that two wealthy men from Taiwan went to the mainland to move a Taoist temple. Even if they do it very discreetly and hide the temple, there must still be a name, right? As long as there is a name, I can find them!"

Li Xuan said:

"They are not reincarnations of Taoist priests from a thousand years ago, but merely disciples of Taoist priests who have had their past life memories restored by the 'Taoist priests' in this life."

"I'm telling you all this not so you can do anything, but so you can hide and not be found!"

Huang Huotu was stunned for a moment and said, "Impossible. As a policeman, how can I sit idly by and watch this so-called reincarnated Taoist priest kill people indiscriminately? I tolerated the evil spirits in front of me who were greedy for wealth, lewd and dissolute, treacherous and hypocritical. Why should even 'those who do not believe in ghosts and gods' be included? Belief should be a matter of freedom!"

Li Xuan thought to himself, "You should ask the screenwriter about this kind of plot..."

He made a hand seal with his right hand, gently patted Huang Huotu's back, and silently recited the purification mantra.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Achoo!!

Huang Huotu coughed violently because his throat was itchy, and his nasal cavity was also itchy. He covered his mouth and nose and sneezed, feeling refreshed all over, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

He saw a lot of black "dust" on his palm. Upon closer inspection, the powdery substance had a strange luster, which startled him so much that he hurriedly shook it off.

"How...how did these things get in my nasal cavity?"

Li Xuan extended his left hand, pretending to calculate, and said:

"Those two Taoist priests from a thousand years ago were successfully born on Taiwan sixteen years ago. They were twins, but the older sister died in the womb. Although her physical body was not born, her primordial spirit had already cultivated to become an immortal, so only the younger sister was born..."

"This younger sister awakened her past life memories and mastered a kind of 'Gu technique'. She uses herself as a nest to cultivate insect-borne fungi. As long as it is put into a person's mouth and nose, it can cause them to hallucinate. If they believe that they are drowning in water, they will really 'drown'; if they are in fire, they will really 'burn to death'. Liao Zhenfu and Qiu Miaofang are examples of this."

"My sister has become an immortal, but she does exist in a space that you cannot see, influencing everything in reality."

"Officer Huang, did your daughter suffer a great shock and stop speaking afterward?"

Huang Huotu was somewhat dazed, staring blankly at Li Xuan, and said, "You...you investigated me, or did you calculate all of this?"
My daughter…yes, a long time ago, I reported my brother-in-law for embezzlement. He went berserk, took my daughter hostage, and pointed a gun at her. The gun went off accidentally, but luckily, the bullet grazed her scalp. She was terrified and fainted, but after she woke up, she never spoke again…”

He wondered if he was going crazy, because what he was hearing was becoming increasingly distorted!
Seeing that Huang Huotu was almost completely fooled by his "spoiler," Li Xuan said, "This older sister has already become an immortal. In order to protect her younger sister who has already been born and successfully slays the five demons and becomes an immortal in this world, she must ensure the safety of you, the key figure 'Shaoyang Taiyin Zhe'..."

Huang Huotu's hands were trembling. He sensed a bomb was about to explode.

Li Xuan said, "Oh... I see. You might not believe it, but the pistol accidentally discharged. The bullet was very accurate, but 'Sister' changed its trajectory, causing a graze instead. That's why your daughter escaped death! You love your daughter so much, this sister was afraid you would see your daughter die tragically, so she tried to commit suicide."

Huang Huotu walked to a bench by the roadside and sat down. His legs wouldn't obey him. He felt like an unseen "deity" was watching him and had even saved his daughter's life.

He didn't know whether to be happy or to cry.

Because of what this older sister did, it's clear that he will need to "dismember" her younger sister in the future, which means he will have to commit murder.

There's too much information.

He took out his phone, looked at the contacts on the screen, scrolled through a few pages, and stopped at one named "Qingfang." His thumb hovered over the call button, but he hesitated several times before finally deciding not to press it. He sighed softly and said:

“I understand what you mean. The other party’s sister is alive, but she has mastered the evil Gu technique and her methods are strange. I am no match for her, and her sister is even more of a ‘god’. I have no ability to fight against her.”

"What...should I do?"

Li Xuan sat down next to him and said, "It's normal for cultivators to want to become immortals, but to harm lives by any means to achieve immortality violates the principle of valuing life in the Heavenly Way. This older sister has already transcended the realm of humanity, and I cannot calculate her karma (I can't see the script), but this younger sister is still within the realm of 'humanity.' I know she has fallen into evil ways and can only be eliminated..."

"Officer Huang, you only have two choices: commit suicide immediately and ruin this sister's plan! Otherwise, let me arrange a special cover for you to leave Taiwan and live on the mainland for a while until I finish dealing with this matter."

Huang Huotu thought of his ex-wife Qingfang, his heart aching, because of his brother-in-law's affair, she was very disappointed in him...

But now that this has happened, leaving Qingfang on the island makes her vulnerable to being blamed, and what if she dies?

His head started to throb, and he tugged at his hair a few times with both hands, his eyes reddening: "I'll try."

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Huang Huotu's willingness to listen was the best assist!

Xie Yali is not a kind-hearted person.

When the police arrived, the two apprentices didn't hesitate to go on a killing spree, and afterwards took all the blame, all to prevent their master from being implicated in any "karma"...

Who would believe that this wasn't hinted at or instructed by Xie Yali?

What unsettled Li Xuan was the rules of this world. Xie Yali's actions—slaying the demon and dissolving his physical body—had actually allowed him to transcend his physical form and enter the realm of "immortal"...

He currently has three opponents.

The first one is Xie Yali!
The second one is her older sister.

The third is the protection afforded by the rules of this world.

If the unseen rules deem Xie Yali's actions correct, then becoming an immortal is acceptable.

So, even if Li Xuan risks being hung up by Marshal Tianpeng and getting 100 free draws at the start, he still has to find a way to set up an altar and summon the ghosts and gods of Fengdu to fight back...
