Volume 1 Seven Rank Taoist Priest Chapter 98 Great Witch
Qi Xuansu stared at the little fine sand left in his palm in a daze, and was speechless for a while.
He already roughly understood why the Qingping Society and the Taiping Dao snatched the "Xuanyu", this kind of thing is indeed very mysterious, and it is beneficial to the people.
Qi Xuansu moved his newborn left hand, but there was no sense of stagnation, which was very consistent with his body, and his body seemed to be reborn, and there was no discomfort in any place. He rolled up his sleeves again and handed them over separately, and sure enough, many scars had disappeared, and even Qi Xuansu had a faint feeling that if he went to enter the cultivation again, the efficiency would definitely be far better than before.
However, Qi Xuansu did not practice at this time, but planned to figure out two questions before the divine power outside completely retreated.
The first question is what happened to the previous dream.
The second question is whether I should tell Zhang Yuelu or Qi Niang about the changes on my body.
The first is dreams.
Qi Xuansu had been to that dark mountain many times in his dreams, but when he went before, only one figure was behind the fire, and the rest of the black shadows were actually standing in the darkness that the firelight could not shine on. But this time, a full eleven figures stood behind the fire, and the black shadows that served as a foil as a background disappeared directly.
This feeling is like when a senior member of the court and the central government travels alone, he naturally hugs each other and has a brilliant honor guard, but if he is above the court and stands with other ministers, those entourages will not be able to ascend the hall of elegance.
This change is undoubtedly brought about by "Xuanyu".
Of the eleven figures, there was one very small figure, with the exception of the last to arrive, and she kicked over the fire, looking out of place.
In the end, ten of the eleven figures left, leaving only one figure walking towards him.
Does this mean that the last figure left corresponds to the "Xuanyu" in his hand?
If this speculation is true, then it means that different "Xuanyu" correspond to eleven figures, and judging from the different auras emitted by the eleven figures, they also correspond to eleven different abilities.
Qi Xuansu thought about it carefully, and the figure that walked towards him exuded an extremely majestic breath of life, although it was in a dream, it didn't really exist, but the scorching feeling emitted by the vigorous qi and blood still made him remember it deeply.
From this point of view, this piece of "Xuanyu" corresponds to "life".
Then the rebirth of oneself, the rebirth of flesh and blood, and the transformation of the Buddha statue in the temple from a dead thing to a living thing can all make sense.
Another point, the "Xuanyu" that Qi Xuansu got in Fengtai County is like a dead thing, without any miracles, but this "Xuanyu" can make the Buddha statue a living thing, is the "Xuanyu" in Fengtai County fake? Or does it require some kind of external condition for "Xuanyu" to work?
If it is the latter, the biggest difference between the two is that the "Xuanyu" of Fengtai County is hidden in the paperweight, while the "Xuanyu" of Yulan Temple is hidden in the Buddha statue.
Paperweight and Buddha statues, the difference is......
Qi Xuansu's heart moved, in the Qingbai Temple, Bai Yongguan once drew incense from the statue of the Taishang Dao Ancestor to restore the law phase, which made the statue of the Taishang Dao Ancestor explode, which shows that the statue of the Taishang Dao Ancestor has a reserve of incense wishing power.
It can be inferred from this that most of the statues in the temple also stored incense wishes. So is the mutation of "Xuanyu" related to the power of incense?
Thinking of "Xuanyu" again, it seems that because the divine power has changed from a blue string moon to a blood-colored full moon, then Qi Xuansu has come up with a bold guess: incense wish power or divine power can inspire "Xuanyu".
This is also reasonable, Zhang Yuelu once said to Qi Xuansu that the incense wish power is the peace money of the immortals, and the contradiction between the Gu immortals and the Daomen also comes from the incense wish power, which can be seen to be precious.
In addition, there is a strange totem similar to the screen array diagram behind this figure, green as a bamboo, with a bird's body and a human face, which is actually somewhat similar to the Wu Luofa invited by the people of the Lingshan Witch Sect, but it is not exactly the same.
Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered that Zhang Yuelu said that before the rise of Daomen, the ancient witch sect was at its peak, and the ancestor of the ancient witch sect was called the Ten Witches of Lingshan, and Wu Luo was one of them. Later, the Ten Witches of Lingshan broke up, and five of the Great Witches left Lingshan with Wuyang, and they were called the Enlightened Six Witches.
The ten witches of Lingshan plus the very mysterious Wu Yang are just eleven people.
In other words, the eleven figures he saw were the eleven great witches of the Ancient Witch Sect, and the last slender figure to appear was Wu Yang, and her kicking over the fire meant that the enlightened six witches betrayed the Ten Witches of Lingshan?
The great witch who walked towards him represents "life", so what does the great witch he often saw in the past represent? She only seems to show her aura when the eleven great witches gather.
And Wu Luo, since she is also one of the eleven great witches, what does she symbolize?
As for the dark and dreary mountain, it is naturally the legendary spiritual mountain.
After Qi Xuansu cleared his thoughts, most of his joy and excitement disappeared in an instant.
Lingshan, Lingshan Ten Witches, and Lingshan Witch Sect, anyone can see that there is an extremely close connection between the three. Coupled with the legend of the dream meeting and the legend that the Wuluo believer entered the kingdom of God in the dream, it seems to confirm Qi Xuansu's speculation that Qingping will have some kind of connection with the Lingshan Witch Sect.
However, Qi Xuansu was not very sure, and always felt that he had missed something.
Qi Xuansu didn't continue to think deeply, but decided to go to the Daozang Pavilion to find some books about the ancient witch religion after returning to Yujing, so as to confirm his guess.
Then came the second thing, whether to tell Qi Niang and Zhang Yuelu about it.
Qi Xuansu first denied the idea of telling Zhang Yuelu about this, although Zhang Yuelu treated him with sincerity, but he had too many secrets, and the time the two had been together was too short, he couldn't grasp Zhang Yuelu's change of attitude after knowing part of the truth, and after thinking about it, he decided not to take risks.
As for Qi Niang, according to reason, there is nothing to hide, if it was before, Qi Xuansu would have told the truth, but after Qi Xuansu began to suspect that Qingping would have some collusion with the Lingshan Witch Sect, he hesitated. And Qingping will also be looking for "Xuanyu", which means that Qingping will most likely know the secret of "Xuanyu", if this matter is accidentally known by Qingping, it is difficult for Qi Xuansu to predict what will happen to him, will he become the backbone core like the woman in Tsing Yi, or will he be refined into an elixir by Qingping?
After thinking about it a few times, Qi Xuansu also didn't dare to take risks.
At this moment, the color of blood on the outside finally faded, leaving no trace.
Qi Xuansu gathered his thoughts, walked out of the main hall, followed the road to the Maitreya Temple, and then left the Yulan Temple through the gap behind the Maitreya Palace.
As soon as he left the temple, Qi Xuansu saw a trace that had been rolled out because of the tumbling, and he walked all the way along this trace, only to see his severed hand under a big tree.
Qi Xuansu looked at his severed hand, then at his novice, was silent for a moment, and decided to put away the severed hand and put it in his satchel.
Although the scars on his body are gone, this severed hand can remind him not to make this kind of mistake again in the future, not every time he can turn the corner, there is only one life, and when he dies, everything is really empty.
At this moment, Zhang Yuelu swept towards this side from the direction of the mountain gate, and saw Qi Xuansu's figure from a distance, and her hanging heart finally let go a little. She was really afraid that Qi Xuansu was left in the Yulan Temple and did not come out, if that was the case, she was only afraid that she would have a bad conscience in this life. After all, unlike official business, Qi Xuansu accompanied her to Shangqing Mansion out of her friend's affection at her personal invitation.
Zhang Yuelu came to Qi Xuansu's face, did not speak, but looked him up and down, and saw that he did not lack arms or legs, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, and he completely put his heart down.
"Are you alright?" Qi Xuansu took the initiative to ask, "What about the woman in Tsing Yi?" What's the matter? ”
"What can I do? It's fine if you're okay. Zhang Yuelu shook her head, "As for the woman in Tsing Yi, she calls herself 'Xie Qiuniang', she is from the Qingping Society, and her real identity should be a hermit from the Daomen. ”
"Hermit? The hermit card in the Xuan Sheng card? Qi Xuansu asked.
Zhang Yuelu said: "Hermit was only an identity at the earliest, and after the reform of the three religions, it became one of the inheritances of Confucianism. We call them immortals, and Confucianism calls them sages. Hermits correspond to the sages of the mind, different from the gentlemen corresponding to the sages of science and the scribes corresponding to the sub-sages, the number is very rare, about the same as the immortals of the Daomen. ”
Qi Xuansu said: "What day is today, a small Yulan Temple has gathered the immortals of the Daomen, the hermits of the Confucian Sect, the Buddhas of the Buddhism Sect, and such a terrifying ancient immortal divine power. ”
Zhang Yuelu suddenly remembered something: "What about the Buddha of Buddhism?" ”
Qi Xuansu's face darkened slightly, and he said half-truthfully: "Run, he said that this kind of Wuluo divine power will take people's lives in this world, otherwise he will not die, he wants me to be a scapegoat, fortunately I have a big life, maybe there are other people in the temple, otherwise you won't see me." ”
Zhang Yuelu looked angry: "It's such a villain, next time I see him, I will never spare him." ”
Qi Xuansu said sincerely: "This person's name is Yanxiu, today's hatred, I will get it back sooner or later." ”
Zhang Yuelu nodded, his gaze swept over Qi Xuansu's face, first stunned, and then slightly hesitant: "Tianyuan, you seem to be a little different." ”
Qi Xuansu's heart tightened, his face was not obvious, and he pretended to be puzzled: "What's the difference?" ”
"It seems to be whiter." Zhang Yuelu smiled, "It's getting more and more like a little white face." ”
Qi Xuansu feigned anger and said, "Okay, dare to say that I am a little white face." When I arrived at your house, I said to Lingtang, I am the little white face you raised, and I am here to join in this time. ”
"You dare!" Zhang Yuelu was immediately diverted from paying attention to Qi Xuansu's face.
Qi Xuansu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if Zhang Yuelu continued to ask, he would really be exposed, fortunately, when he went to look for "Xuanyu", Zhang Yuelu was fighting with Xie Qiuniang outside, and he should have no time to notice him.
