Dao Qi Wu Zang Guan Guan: I became a Daoist Master in the 1990s

Chapter 112 The Night in the Mountain City Is Not Over Yet

Qi Yun listened quietly, remained silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.

He knew in his heart that the couple's survival was an incredible stroke of luck.

That ghost was so ferocious that it could drag the entire building into its own ghostly realm, turning yin and yang upside down and altering reality.

As for the old hero Qin... it was in his final moments, with a wisp of yang energy about to dissipate, hovering above the boundary between life and death, that he managed to carve out a faint door of life within the twisted rules of the ghost realm.

The intrusion of the Li couple, by a twist of fate, awakened the old man's deepest fighting spirit, which was ingrained in his very being.

The lingering resentment, mistaking it for an enemy attack, boiled over in an instant, eventually burning away all its remnants. The heroic spirit manifested, and with its righteous energy that pierced the long night and its fierce killing intent that had once permeated the battlefield, it forcefully nailed the ghostly figure to the dark corridor.

That's precisely why he had that one and only opportunity to make his move.

Otherwise, even if he could survive until dawn and the evil spirits would dissipate on their own, all the living beings in this building would probably have already become the satiated food of that ferocious creature, leaving nothing behind.

"Your lives!"

Qi Yun looked at Li Jun and his wife, his voice calm yet powerful, each word striking a chord in people's hearts, "It was Old Hero Qin who, with his last remaining will, snatched it back from the gates of the underworld."

"He was confused and troublesome in his life, this is the 'cause'; today he saves your lives with his remaining soul and protects the peace of this place, this is the 'effect'."

This result is far more significant than that cause.

Therefore, you still owe the old hero... an immense debt of gratitude.

"The most urgent task is to obtain clean water and cloth, and with utmost respect and solemnity, prepare the old hero's remains."

The elderly must be buried with the rites due to a filial son, in a grand and solemn manner, only then can this debt of gratitude be repaid and this overwhelming karmic debt settled.

As Li Jun and his wife listened, the disdain and fear they once had for the "old madman" vanished from their faces, replaced only by a deep, almost trembling gratitude and awe.

The two nodded repeatedly, their throats choked with emotion, their words barely audible: "Yes! Yes! Don't worry, Master, we understand!"
"We will definitely... we will definitely treat Grandpa Qin, this old hero Qin, as our own elder, and send him off properly!"

After saying that, Li Jun stepped forward, seemingly unconcerned about the blood and grime covering his body. With extremely gentle and careful movements, he lifted Qin Weimin's already cold body in his arms, as if he were holding the most fragile and precious thing in the world.

The couple respectfully invited the elderly man into their home, fetched clean water, found the best clean clothes, and with utmost reverence wiped his body and tidied his final appearance.

Qi Yun sat alone on the worn-out sofa in the living room, finally able to calm his mind and carefully examine the gains after this fierce battle.

The moment his mind sank into his body, he sensed something was different.

Driven by the extraordinary vigor of the heart's fire, the Qi of the five internal organs circulates and harmonizes at an unprecedented speed, generating abundant energy that surges forth like the spring tide, rapidly transforming into abundant pure Qi.

The fourteen strands of Jade Marrow True Qi that had been completely depleted in the previous battle have not only been fully restored, but have also continued to grow and condense under the impetus of this torrent.

Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen... until a full eighteen, before slowly stopping, as if having drunk its fill of fine wine, slumbering and still.

Eighteen streams of milky white true qi, like eighteen agile jade dragons, slowly swirled and floated in the dantian, their breaths exhaling with a spiritual charm, their radiance restrained, and their concentration exceptional.

Qi Yun deeply understands the difficulty of cultivating true Qi.

Even with precious jade pendants and rare treasures, and through daily arduous cultivation, it would still take nearly a month of painstaking effort to condense a single energy.

This time, the successive burning of the Yin Sha ghost energy in Wang Dashan's body and the evil creature tonight actually allowed him to condense five true Qi!
It is evident that this fiend is far more powerful than any evil spirit he has ever vanquished in the Great Qian Dynasty.

However, while the rapid advancement in his True Qi cultivation was gratifying, it was by no means the greatest gain of this trip. "When that ghost was incinerated, the strange black thread that escaped from its origin was autonomously absorbed by the 'Great Black Law'..."

Qi Yun's mind raced, his eyes sharp. "Could it be that the black line is a wisp of 'authority' power belonging to the laws of heaven and earth that this fiend stole?"

Thinking of this, he slightly moved his mind and summoned the jade slip that was floating deep in his sea of ​​consciousness.

A faint light flashed, the jade slip unfolded silently, and the ancient characters on the second page clearly appeared:

【The Black Laws of Beiyin Fengdu】

[Acting on behalf of Heaven, maintaining the order of Yin and Yang]

[Rank: Lower-ranking student]

[Upholding the Vinaya: Break through falsehoods and be without fear. Those who violate this will have their lifespan cut off!]

[Authority: Certificate of Rebirth in the Underworld]

[Law: Resisting Chaos]

[Turbid Ink Law: Incomplete (1/2)]

really!

Qi Yun suddenly understood; his guess had been confirmed.

Slaying these evil spirits that steal the authority of heaven and earth, and reclaiming the power they have stolen, is perhaps the most fundamental duty of the "Northern Yin Fengdu Black Law" and "Acting on behalf of Heaven to maintain the order of Yin and Yang"!
"The Law of Turbid Ink? It's incomplete; do I have to complete it myself later?"

He recalled that when the old man performed the ritual to help Qin Weimin pass on to the afterlife, the path beneath his feet was no longer the dim, muddy road that ordinary souls usually walked on, but a more orderly and solemn bluestone road.

"It seems that the path to which the souls of the dead return also manifests differently depending on the merits and karmic deeds they performed in their previous lives."

After Yunyangzi became a ghost, he committed numerous sins, which likely negated all his previous merits.

Just as his thoughts were churning, the "Northern Yin Fengdu Black Law" edict rune between his brows, which had been dormant all along, suddenly trembled without warning!
At the same time, he clearly sensed that, in the darkness, there seemed to be an extremely fine, invisible thread made of magical power, trying to cross the void, entwine his aura, and locate his position.

However, the moment this thread formed, before it even truly touched him, the decree between his brows trembled once more, and a profound and mysterious fluctuation of law gently rippled outwards.

"Boom!"

A faint, almost imperceptible sound of annihilation rang out, a sound only Qi Yun could perceive.

The invisible tracking thread, like a spider silk thrown into a raging fire, snapped and dissolved instantly, turning into nothingness.

"Hmm?" Qi Yun's eyes snapped open, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he recalled Xuan Jizi's methods for finding the ghost.

"Tracking spell? Did the 749th Bureau make their move?"

A cold smile curved his lips. He remained seated firmly on the sofa, but his gaze seemed to pierce through the walls, looking out into the deep night.

The night in the mountain city is not yet over.

　It will be available next Wednesday. I hope you will all support it!
