During the fight with me the day before yesterday, although Taoist Master Qianyang was slightly injured, it is certain that he was not seriously injured and his life was not in danger.
Why did he turn into a living dead in just two days?
What's more, Taoist Master Qianyang was originally a disciple of Ding Busan, and the Shangqing Sect was a major Taoist sect. How could he be proficient in this secret technique of southern Xinjiang?
The combination of all the doubts makes me feel more and more that the water in this Shangqing Sect is very deep.
Ding Busan has never dealt with me. The Shangqing Sect is also one of my goals for integrating the Yin and Yang Association this time. Now that the matter of Qianyang Taoist Master has been added to the mix, I immediately concluded that this Shangqing Sect is far from what it seems. It seems so simple.
Not only do they look down upon me, they may even have colluded with the Southern Xinjiang Wizard Group!
Therefore, I quickly decided to launch an investigation into the Shangqing Sect as soon as possible!
After returning to the incense shop, I told the story of Xiao Hong's tragic experience. Everyone listened and couldn't help but sigh and expressed their deep sympathy for Xiao Hong.
"Xiaohong, where do you plan to go next?"
Looking at the little girl squatting on the ground, I couldn't help but ask softly.
Xiaohong looked at me, her eyes full of confusion. It seemed that even she didn't know where she was going.
Thinking about it, she was only seven or eight years old when she was killed. She had never enjoyed a good life since she was born. Her parents, who were obsessed with profit, often beat and scolded her.
There is only an old grandfather who protects her everywhere and gives her a little warmth in her childhood, so that her life will not be filled with misery.
But now, her grandfather who loves her the most has also left. She has no relatives and a lonely soul. Where can she go?
"Have you ever thought about starting your life over?"
After thinking for a while, I couldn't help but said to Xiaohong.
"Brother, what do you mean?"
Xiaohong asked me with her big curious eyes open.
"I can let you re-enter the reincarnation and reincarnate into a family that loves you. You can grow up happily and enjoy the love of your parents. When you grow up, you can go to school, study, make many good friends, and do the things you like to do. …”
Xiaohong was fascinated by what she heard, and stars flashed in her eyes: "Brother, are you telling the truth? Can I really have such a life?"
"sure,"
I nodded heavily: "You are so sensible and kind, and you deserve a happy life."
"The people below also value justice. I will send you what happened in this life. After receiving it, I will arrange a new life for you."
"At that time, you can forget all the misfortunes in this life and truly enjoy your own journey in this world."
Xiaohong's face was full of excitement, and she seemed to be completely immersed in the beautiful thoughts of her new life.
But suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and asked me immediately: "Brother, will I still be able to see my grandfather after my reincarnation?"
"Well..."
I thought about it and decided to tell her the truth: "Probably not."
"You will forget all the experiences in this life, whether good or bad, and they will not be preserved. Not only your bastard parents, but also your grandfather will completely disappear from your memory."
When Xiaohong heard this, her eyes immediately lowered, with disappointment and unwillingness written on her face.
"Xiao Hong, nothing in the world is perfect. The fate between you and your grandfather has ended in this life. Before he disappeared, he also said that he hoped you could start a new life."
"Only by leaving the past behind can we regain a new life. I think this is what your grandfather wants to see."
Under my persuasion, Xiaohong finally calmed down. She wiped away her tears, looked at me and said, "Brother, I listen to you and choose to start over."
"good,"
I nodded and immediately asked Hua Hua and the others to take out cinnabar, paper money, incense candles and paper horses, and arrange them in a circle.
After that, I asked Xiao Hong to stand in the middle and silently recite the soul-giving talisman. As I recited, the incense candles and paper horses began to spontaneously ignite without wind, floating all over the sky.
Xiaohong's figure gradually became illusory, almost transparent. With a trace of nostalgia in her eyes, she bowed deeply to me and disappeared.
These incense candles and paper horses are all of the highest quality. If Xiaohong takes these things into the underworld, the underworld ghosts below will not make things too difficult for her. In this way, she can be reincarnated as soon as possible.
After Xiaohong disappeared, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, as I finally got my wish.
After that, I called my fourth sister and told her that I had obtained the second uncharacterized card and that I was planning to investigate the Shangqing Sect.
"Mr. Cheng, can I send more people to accompany you?"
After hearing that I was going to Shangqing Mountain, the fourth sister couldn't help but suggest.
"That Ding Busan is very cunning. When we reach his territory, we might encounter some dangers. It would be better to bring more people with us."
"It doesn't matter,"
I smiled lightly and rejected the fourth sister's proposal.
"This investigation is conducted in secret, and it is not easy to make it public. But these days, I have to trouble my fourth sister to sit in the association and handle some daily affairs."
"As for safety, Fourth Sister doesn't have to worry. No matter what Ding Busan's plot is, I don't think he has the guts to openly fall out with us."
When the fourth sister saw that I had made a decision, she didn't know what to say. She could only nod and agreed to let me contact her at any time if I encountered danger.
After hanging up the phone, it was already dark, so we each returned to our rooms and had a good sleep.
Early the next morning, after getting up and eating something, the group set out on their way to the Shangqing Sect.
The Shangqing Sect originally came from the same sect as the Maoshan Sect, and both originated from Maoshan. However, later, due to differences in ideas, the two parties split into two factions.
The Maoshan sect continued to live in Maoshan, claiming to be orthodox and respecting Ge Hong as its founder. The Shangqing sect moved to Shangqing Mountain and regarded Wei Huacun, the wife of Nanyue, as its founder. Maoshan and Maoshan became two independent sects.
After sitting on the long-distance bus for more than four hours, we got off the bus and walked for more than three hours. Finally, near sunset, we arrived at Shangqing Mountain.
Originally, I thought that the Shangqing Sect was an orthodox Taoist sect. With the blessing of Fuze, the Shangqing Mountain should be prosperous and full of tourists. But when we came to the foot of the mountain, we were all dumbfounded.
The entire mountain is filled with mist, and the rocks are rugged and lifeless. Looking at it from a distance, it just gives people a weird feeling.
I had only felt this way before when I went to Qipo Mountain in Southern Xinjiang to rescue Jingjing.
Within a radius of more than ten miles below the mountain, the population was withering and large areas of wasteland were covered. After walking for a long time, we finally found a small village and planned to go in for something to eat.
The village was in a dilapidated state. Walking on the street, not even a single person could be seen. When we approached the end of the village, we finally saw a farmhouse restaurant and strolled in.
