Jiang Yuebai was sitting in the main hall of the hot spring villa, holding a palm-sized piece of bone in his hand. It had the same function as a jade slip, and it was a bone slip.
This bone tablet came from Ding Yan, a female evil cultivator encountered in the Cang Yan land. It records a method of controlling ghosts called "Five Ghosts Sutra".
Jiang Yuebai had taken a rough look at it before, and found a series of non-offensive spells including "Five Ghosts Moving Technique", "Five Ghosts Relocation Technique", "Five Ghosts Bewitching Mind Technique", "Five Ghosts Blood Escape Technique", etc.
Among them, there is a small method in the process of refining the five ghosts to stimulate the obsession of the ghosts, which can allow one to see the ghost’s deepest memories before his death.
The soul-searching method must be performed by a high-level cultivator above the Jindan stage on a low-level cultivator by force, and all memories can be searched. This small method can only see some memory fragments and is not that difficult to operate.
"There is no right or wrong in the law, right or wrong lies in the heart."
Jiang Yuebai murmured something and began to read the "Five Ghosts Classic" carefully.
As long as you don't show off in front of others, don't do evil things, and can make things convenient for yourself, why bother about what is right and what is wrong
Halfway through reading, Cai Ren came in and placed a few packets of medicine powder and prescriptions on the coffee table next to Jiang Yuebai.
"This was found in the secret compartment of Lin Quan's room. There is a Soul-Loving Powder that can make people unconscious and unable to distinguish between reality and dreams, a Worry-Forgetting Powder that can make people forget things that happened in the past few hours, and... aphrodisiacs and aphrodisiacs."
"Forget Worry Powder? Is it the same as the Forget Worry Pill in the cultivation world?"
Jiang Yuebai picked up the prescription and looked at it. The prescription for Forget Worry Pill was hard to find, but Forget Worry Powder looked good too.
Cai Ren said: "It is a weakened version. These medicines contain trace amounts of spiritual medicine ingredients. The person behind Lin Quan must be a cultivator. And I have asked Lin Shoushan. He must have taken Forget Worry Powder many times, so he can't remember the key things."
"What are you going to do with Lin's?"
Cai Ren thought for a moment and said, "Mortal affairs are best resolved using mortal rules. Lin Shoushan is obsessed with finding immortals, and this obsession cannot be given up by Forget Worry Powder."
"The Lin family of Qingzhou has been bullying the people in Lin'an County and committing many evil deeds. They often regard themselves as descendants of the God of War. In fact, they are just a branch of the family, and the Lin family of Yunzhou is the legitimate descendant. I will find a way to pass on a few words to the county governor and the governor. By then, Lin Shoushan will no longer have this comfortable life and will no longer have time to think about seeking immortality."
Jiang Yuebai nodded, "Now I understand a little bit why there is a rule in the Heavenly Dao that cultivators cannot easily interfere with mortals. For mortals, if they don't know or just suspect that there are immortals in the world, they can still live a down-to-earth life. But once they are sure, they can no longer accept it, which leads to many disasters."
Cai Ren smiled bitterly and said, "But the path to immortality is not as easy as mortals think. I would rather live a rich and prosperous life in this mortal world for a few decades and don't want to hang my head on the edge of a knife anymore."
"The major cultivation families sent their disciples to the imperial city to serve as state teachers in order to convince the emperors of the mortal world that there are no real immortals or immortals in this world. They are just some strange people who practice minor techniques and small ways."
"Cultivators look down on mortals, but they also come from the mortal world. If an emperor develops the desire to seek immortality, it will be a disaster for all people. If one move affects the whole body, the cultivation world will also be affected."
"You go and handle the follow-up matters of the Lin family. I will find a way to deal with the people behind Lin Quan."
Cai Ren bowed and took his leave. Jiang Yuebai set up a protective array and continued to study the "Five Ghosts Sutra". After a while, he heard the plaintive crying of women in the backyard, so he added another soundproof array.
An hour later, Jiang Yuebai called out Xiaolu and asked it to release Lin Quan's soul from the lantern.
Jiang Yuebai cut his fingertips to draw blood, then drew a blood talisman in the air. He pushed the talisman forward and hit the gray shadow in front of him.
The gray shadow vibrated, and with the obsession before death as the core, it began to absorb the dark energy of the night, and gradually turned into a human-shaped ghost floating in the air.
At the same time, four pictures flashed through Jiang Yuebai's mind.
It looked like Lin Quan was kicked by Lin Shoushan and was covering his body and screaming in pain.
One scene shows Lin Quan helping up an old beggar who was knocked down by Lin Shoushan's horsewhip, and the old beggar holding his hand and thanking him.
In one scene, Lin Quan is standing behind the old beggar, listening to what someone is saying.
One pair, yes... Oh!
Jiang Yuebai punched the last picture in his mind to break it up, and refocused his attention on the third picture and heard the voice in it.
"When a person is born, there is a breath of innate spiritual energy in his body. For those with immortal roots, this innate spiritual energy will be integrated into the immortal roots around the age of six, helping them to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
After looking at the second picture carefully, Jiang Yuebai discovered that she had seen this old beggar in the market in the evening.
After removing the protective formation, Jiang Yuebai went straight to the market, turned into a narrow alley, and after walking for half a quarter of an hour, he found a long-abandoned charity hall.
The heavy snow collapsed half of the roof, and in the leaky house, all the elderly beggars were huddled together by the fire to keep warm.
Jiang Yuebai asked around and found out that the old beggar she was looking for had left the city in the evening.
Jiang Yuebai felt frustrated after coming up empty-handed. She must have revealed something, alerting the enemy and causing them to escape early.
She must be more careful when walking in the mortal world next time. This time she just scared someone away, but next time if someone with bad intentions targets her and attacks her secretly, that would be dangerous.
After returning to the hot spring villa, Jiang Yuebai confirmed with Cai Ren that the missing children were indeed all under the age of six.
Jiang Yuebai guessed that the old beggar's secret technique of extracting innate spiritual energy might not require blood relatives to do the job.
The missing children must be related to the old beggar. As for the girls who have been missing recently, it is possible that Lin Quan was responsible.
At this point, Jiang Yuebai left the portrait of the old beggar and information about the secret technique, and asked Cai Ren to report the matter to the sect.
No matter how many there are, she can't control them.
Although this journey home was not perfect, it should have ended decisively when it was time to end.
Next, she needs to go to Chaotian Territory to find Mo Baichun and inquire about the news of the spiritual creatures of heaven and earth.
The next morning, Jiang Yuebai took the silver and money he had taken from Lin and went shopping from the east to the west of Yong'an City. He bought everything that his childhood wanted to eat and put them in a storage bag.
The boat was flying high in the sky. Jiang Yuebai was playing with two wooden horses. After playing for a while, he smiled in boredom.
"How could I have thought about something so childish for so long?"
Shaking her head, Jiang Yuebai put away the wooden horse. She had no interest in most things at this point, and she didn't think most of the food tasted good either.
But only when she truly got it, could the lack of her childhood be filled, and from then on, she would never have any regrets again.
"Let me see what kind of place Chaotian Territory is in the travel notes that Master gave me."
The territories of mortals are called continents, and there are three major continents: Cangzhou, Yunzhou, and Wuzhou.
The territory of cultivators is divided into regions, such as paradise, secret land, and mirage, which are located in the mortal world yet hidden in it.
The Tianyan Sect is located in Fengxian Realm, the center of the Nine Realms, on the border between the two countries of Cangyun, and has a long history.
To the east of Fengxian Realm is Chaotian Realm, the territory of Baiyang Sect. It is mountainous, rainy, humid, full of miasma, and rich in poisons.
The journey was not far, and the flying boat reached the mountains outside Chaotian Territory in two days.
Landing halfway up the mountain, Jiang Yuebai enjoyed the scenery as he walked up the mountain.
When I reached the top of the mountain, I saw an old man in white clothes, with an immortal look, thinking about the chessboard on the stone platform under the Welcoming Pine.
The old man turned around, glanced at Jiang Yuebai, who was dressed like a man of the martial arts world, and sighed softly.
"Go back. There are no immortals here. I have been guarding this mountain for twenty years, but I haven't even seen the shadow of an immortal. I don't know who deceived me and said there is an immortal realm among these mountains."
