Unorthodox methods, cultivating immortality relies on rich women

Chapter 94 Reincarnation (Seeking First Subscription)

"What exactly happened? Why are there two Yang Xiaoyongs?" Lin Yunong was very curious about this question. "The one you saw under the bridge is the real Yang Xiaoyong," Shen Qingzhou said.

"Then who is it in town?" Lin Yunong hurriedly asked.

"One of your uncles or aunts, or even your great-grandfather—" Shen Qingzhou said.

"What?" Lin Yunong's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

"How could this be? How could they do this? Then—can you tell who it is? What do they look like?" Lin Yunong asked anxiously.

"I don't have X-ray vision, how would I know?" Shen Qingzhou said irritably.

Seeing her blank expression, Shen Qingzhou explained, "The body is like a house. I only know that someone has entered the house, how can I see what the person inside looks like?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yunong suddenly realized that Shen Qingzhou felt the girl was indeed not very bright.

"But—but are we just going to leave it like this?" Lin Yunong asked, somewhat conflicted.

"Why should I care? Besides—don't you want to? I can help you find a fresh body, so you can be reborn and live a second life."

Shen Qingzhou's voice was as alluring as a devil's.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yunong's eyes lit up, but she quickly became even more conflicted. The car fell silent for a moment, and no one spoke.

As the car neared Huinan City, Lin Yunong finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No, I'd rather not. If I were to be resurrected, would my parents still be my parents? Would I still be myself?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhou glanced at her sideways, but a smile appeared on his face.

"Hey, what do you mean by that?" Lin Yunong thought Shen Qingzhou was mocking her.

"You're a bit slow-witted, but you're also quite kind," Shen Qingzhou said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yunong raised her fist in dissatisfaction, "Don't you dare call me stupid."

Shen Qingzhou said, "You're right to think that way, because it's not so easy to borrow a body to return to life."

"Oh, is there any explanation for this?" Lin Yunong asked, full of curiosity.

"Because the body is not so easy to borrow. Apart from reaching the end of one's lifespan, who would die if they were healthy and without illness or disaster? Therefore, all accidental deaths are either due to external causes or internal problems within the body."

"External causes, like jumping off a building or being hit by a car, leave the body decayed. What's the point of borrowing it then? To enjoy the pain it brings? But internal problems usually involve illness, and often a serious one at that. Living in this world with such a body is a very difficult thing to endure."

"Besides, if you borrow someone else's body, you have to bear their karma. Those who are seriously ill are already in a state of decline. If you borrow their body, what good days can you expect to have?"

As Shen Qingzhou spoke, Lin Yunong couldn't help but think of her own body, which was ravaged by cancer and had become so unrecognizable that she probably wouldn't have been accepted as a gift.

"Yang Xiaoyong has committed too many immoral acts, and dark clouds are already gathering over him. Even without this incident, he probably wouldn't live much longer. Your relative hastily took over his body, and not only will he have to bear the consequences, but it's also uncertain how many days he'll be able to live a carefree life in the human world."

"Why the rush?" Lin Yunong immediately grasped the key point.

Shen Qingzhou glanced at her in surprise. Could this be the "world-shaking wisdom" that idiots often have when they suddenly have a flash of inspiration?

"Because they saw me," Shen Qingzhou said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yunong suddenly realized that her grandfather had asked her last night whether Shen Qingzhou was a Taoist priest.

They were afraid that Shen Qingzhou would ruin their plans, so they hurriedly found someone, and Yang Xiaoyong was that unlucky guy.

"But I never knew there were such strange things in this world. Could there be gods?"

"Lin Yunong asked with great curiosity."

"No," Shen Qingzhou said with certainty.

He was so certain because he understood the essence of the world.

The reason he can't cultivate the Buddhist and Taoist methods that directly point to the fundamental Dao, and can only cultivate some unorthodox techniques, is not because he lacks talent, nor because he misallocated his skill points; it's purely due to the version update issue.

The so-called cultivation method that points directly to the Great Dao has long been updated and disappeared. Using the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of the current dynasty is completely nonsensical, as the underlying logic is different.

Of course, this doesn't mean there aren't any techniques that directly address the fundamentals. In the current version, that would be mathematics and physics. But even though Shen Qingzhou considers himself a genius, he knows that with his talent, he can't achieve much.

Why can some unorthodox methods still be used? This is because of some so-called commonalities. As long as it doesn't involve the core or the underlying logic, certain files and programs under the Windows system can also be opened on the Apple system.

This is why the spells of Buddhism and Taoism have basically all become ineffective or lost all their power, while some unorthodox folk spells still have some use.

The stone slab bridge in Lin Yunong's hometown is not a fancy bridge at all, but a bridge for looking back to one's hometown, a bridge for turning back, a dividing bridge for the living to walk the path of life and for the dead to pass through the gates of the underworld.

It was originally intended to guide the children who drowned in the river and the wronged souls who died violently, allowing their spirits to embark on their journey back to the mortal world through the yin energy of the "soul-illuminating hole."

But later, some "genius" came up with the idea of ​​using this method to resurrect the dead, exchanging one for one, and returning to the world of the living.

Therefore, when crossing this bridge at night, you should walk quickly and not look back. If you hear a sound, do not look down through the "soul-revealing hole".

However, it was clear that Lin Yunong did not agree with Shen Qingzhou's statement. "How do you know it's not there? You're not a god."

"Because I am not, there are no gods in this world. If there are, then it should start with me."

"Wow, that's a really bold statement, but I still advise you to uninstall Yangshizi," Lin Yunong said, feigning exaggeration.

As the two were talking, the car drove into the residential area and stopped by the roadside. Lin Yunong got out of the car first and looked around curiously.

"You earn so much money, and you live here?" Her tone was full of surprise.

Shen Qingzhou glanced at her sideways, ignored her, and walked directly into the stairwell. Lin Yunong hurriedly followed with her hands behind her back. Shen Qingzhou noticed that this girl particularly liked to walk with her hands behind her back.

This posture makes a person look old, and many elderly people like to use this posture because it stretches their shoulders.

Lin Yunong's choice was purely out of habit, but it made her waist and shoulders appear straighter while also giving her a youthful and lively feel.

"You're back so early! Have you had breakfast?"

As soon as Shen Qingzhou entered the room, Jiang Xinyue immediately stood up and looked him up and down.

Xiao Qiu and Wu Ying also came over, looking curiously at Lin Yunong who was following behind Shen Qingzhou.

Jiangxin Yue's talisman bone only allows her to see Xiao Qiu, not all the ghosts.

So she was unaware that there was another "person" following behind Shen Qingzhou.

Seeing Lin Yunong looking at her curiously, and then moving to Wu Ying next to her, Xiao Qiu quickly hugged Wu Ying's neck.

"This is my dog," she said.

The shadowy creature barked twice in rebuttal.

Lin Yunong was amused by her, so she squatted down and said, "I won't take your dog, but what's your name?"

"My name is Xiaoqiu, what's yours, sister? What's your name?" Xiaoqiu asked curiously.

"Xiao Qiu, who are you talking to?" It was only then that Jiang Xinyue realized there were other "people" in the house.
