It took Tang Mu more than ten hours to convert to the soul cultivation path. It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Tang Mu converted the last ray of demon power into soul power. He opened his eyes and subconsciously wanted to let out a wolf howl, but was stopped by Shi Chi Shang, who had quick eyes and quick hands. He closed his mouth and suppressed the roar that released his emotions.
Rolling his eyes, Tang Mu almost choked to death. It took him a long time to digest the energy. He stared at Shi Chishang with sharp eyes. The latter smiled and took back his hand: "How do you feel?"
Although he was dissatisfied with what Chi Shang had just done, Tang Mu sighed after feeling the condition inside his body: "Very good!"
Previously, the demonic power and the power of faith did not coexist in Tang Mu's body. If not for the guidance of Yu Hualong and the use of Tai Chi to isolate the two powers, Tang Mu would have died from the conflict.
However, after switching to the Soul Path, the power of demons and the power of faith were strangely merged. There was both the ferocity of demon power and the awe-inspiring power of faith, and there was no longer the danger of the two clashing before.
Seeing that Tang Mu was still a little unfinished, Shi Chishang smiled and said, "With this method, your ability to accept the power of faith in the future will definitely be much faster."
Tang Mu nodded in agreement, glanced at him, hesitated slightly, and lowered his head: "Thank you, Master."
"I know that you may not regard me as your master in your heart, but since we have made a contract, you and I can be regarded as friends even if we are not master and servant," Shi Chishang said with a smile, "Niu Sanshan and I are now treated as brothers. If you If you like, you don’t have to call me Master anymore, you can call me Brother Shi.”
Tang Mu didn't say anything, and Shi Chi Shang didn't force himself, and said: "Now the Taoist sect's attention is occupied by Western Buddhism and the Holy Sect of Light, and there is no time to take care of the ghost realm. Uncle Yu has also had an adventure recently and will take action against the Taoist sect in the near future. You Although he is not strong enough, he is very intelligent, so go back and help him as soon as possible."
"Against the Taoist sect?" Tang Mu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Has Fu Wu's plan started?"
Shi Chishang was also shocked and said in a voiceless voice: "You know?"
"Of course I know!" Tang Mu was a little surprised, "This plan was originally formulated by Sect Master Yu, and I later participated in the revision."
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Shi Chishang couldn't help but murmured a few words, and then told what Nie Qingyuan had planned for him a few years ago. Tang Mu's eyes sharpened, he thought for a moment, and suddenly sighed: "Maybe Nie Qingyuan is not as smart as me. , but you are also very thoughtful in your thinking. At that time, Master, you were not practicing yet, but you were just having a slight affair with Yu Lewei, and you were actually tricked into it by him."
Shi Chishang resisted the urge to complain about his arrogance and said angrily: "Uncle Yu and I discussed this matter and made some plans. If you have nothing to do next, please go back to Jiaxing to help us discuss the details together."
"Okay!" Tang Mu nodded in agreement.
*——*——*
"Haotian!"
Zheng Duobao suddenly woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes with panic on his face, and looked around blankly.
Uh-huh! Shi Qin and Shi Yirui came from the side one after another and looked at him nervously.
After looking around for a long time, Zheng Duobao slowly woke up and recalled the blurry dreams. He couldn't help but touch his head until he felt his palms were wet, and then he realized that he was sweating profusely and even his hair was wet. of.
"Dream again?"
Seeing Zheng Duobao's dazed look, Shi Qin frowned and stretched out his hand to pull open his apprentice's collar. He saw that the meditation talisman he had attached before going to bed had been soaked with sweat, and the spiritual talisman seal written with special cinnabar had also become blurred. Qing, it's obviously gone.
Shi Yirui's face was full of worry: "Dad, what happened to Duobao?"
"How do I know?" Shi Qin was speechless and frowned, "This time I called Haotian. Counting the first few names, damn, why are they all the names of ancient powerful people? Duobao, what was your identity in your previous life? ?”
Zheng Duobao also looked confused. Shi Qin asked him, who should he ask?
Zheng Duobao has been dreaming every night since a month ago, but every time he wakes up, he can't remember the content of his dreams.
At first, he thought it was the inner demons in the still-empty stage that were causing trouble, but slowly, he discovered that these dreams had nothing to do with the inner demons.
Because as he continued to dream, some fragmented memory fragments began to appear in his mind, but no matter how hard he tried to recall, those memories were like a layer of fog and extremely blurry.
Realizing that the situation was not good, Zheng Duobao quickly contacted Shi Qin who was hiding from Daomen in Chongqing.
Shi Qin was also helpless. Although his apprentice was on the path of weapon refining and could not be regarded as a successor to the mantle, he still called him master. No matter how worried he was about provoking the Taoist sect, he had to come over.
After hearing Zheng Duobao's story, Shi Qin was a little confused at first, so he could only stay in Zheng Duobao's room at night, planning to see the situation before talking.
Although Zheng Duobao couldn't remember the content of his dream, Shi Qin who was next to him heard him shout the word "Donghuang".
With the hexagram technique, Shi Qin had already discovered that Zheng Duobao's identity was extraordinary, but at that time he could only detect that he was extraordinary. How extraordinary he was was impossible to detect with his mere Yuanshen-level strength.
But when he heard the word "Eastern Emperor" at this moment, Shi Qin was frightened. From ancient times to the present, there was only one person who could be associated with these two words, and that was Donghuang Taiyi, who was known as the wisest man in the Seven Realms and Liuhe.
The fact that Zheng Duobao could call out this name in a dream means that his previous life must have been in the same era as Donghuang Taiyi. In other words, Zheng Duobao is actually the reincarnation of a great power?
Thinking of this, Shi Qin couldn't help but feel the smoke coming out of his ancestral grave. He didn't expect that he had only accepted Zheng Duobao as his disciple just to take advantage, but he actually accepted the reincarnation of a great master from the ancient times.
However, after a brief surprise, Shi Qin also fell into deep thought. The strangeness of Zheng Duobao was obvious. Due to his unstable mood during the return period, the hidden memories of his previous life began to gradually recover.
If these memories can be digested, it will undoubtedly increase Zheng Duobao's state of mind countless times. After all, they are the memories of a great power. Even if they are only initially absorbed, the vast and lofty realm will be enough to benefit people a lot.
But outsiders can't help with this kind of digestion of past life memories. Shi Qin is good at hexagram skills, not mental power. Besides, even if he is good at mental power, he can't do it unless his cultivation reaches the twelfth level. Dealing with the memory of the great power.
However, after several nights of observation, Shi Qin discovered that Zheng Duobao did not only have the memory of Donghuang, because he called out other names in the following nights.
Xuanyuan, Shennong, Haotian, Fuxi, Pangu...
The first few are fine, but Fuxi and Pangu in the back are the top prehistoric figures in the Eastern Tu royal family. What is the origin of this cheap disciple that he has accepted, and he has interacted with so many great masters? Moreover, they are all members of the Dongtu royal family. Could it be that Zheng Duobao was also a member of the Dongtu royal family in his previous life?
Thinking about the strange fate of Zheng Duobao's pair of treasures, Shi Qin repeatedly recalled the members of the Dongtu royal family, but he couldn't think of any fallen members of the Dongtu royal family who were related to the treasure.
The only person who is related to the treasure is Taoist Duobao in mythology, and Zheng Duobao's name also matches this great master. However, Taoist Duobao in myths and legends was the later Sakyamuni, and according to his knowledge of the Seven From Jie Liuhe’s superficial understanding, Sakyamuni should still be alive?
Before Shi Qin could figure out Zheng Duobao's past life identity, after having a dream for half a month, Zheng Duobao woke up from the dream again and suddenly said that he was going to the east, and he was ready to go even if he died. .
Ever since, Shi Qin took Zheng Duobao and Shi Yirui all the way east, leaving Jiaxing, passing through Shanghai, and finally going directly to the sea. Only when they reached the depths of the East China Sea did Zheng Duobao's urge to go east slowly fade away. .
Shi Qin guessed that the three of them had arrived near where Zheng Duobao was going, but then the three of them wandered around the nearby waters for more than half a month without discovering anything. They almost ran into the East China Sea Monster Clan several times.
Although Shi Qin was in the Yuan Shen stage, 70% to 80% of his cultivation was in hexagram arts, and he was not good at fighting. He escaped by surprise several times and was finally not discovered by the demon clan.
And although he no longer had the urge to go east, Zheng Duobao dreamed more and more frequently. Even if he stood during the day, he would fall into a dream for no reason, and he would be in a trance, as if he was possessed by a demon.
There was no choice but to follow Shi Qin around all the time. During the day, he took Zheng Duobao and Shi Yirui out to search, and at night he returned to his residence to avoid the monsters.
Staring at Zheng Duobao, Shi Qin frowned and said, "We can't go on like this. I found two people from the Taoist sect today. I don't know if they are here to find us."
Shi Yirui was shocked: "Dad, why didn't I listen to you during the day?"
"Is it useful?" Shi Qin pointed at Zheng Duobao and said angrily, "This kid has gone crazy. He will definitely not want to leave. Even if he is knocked unconscious and taken back, he will probably sneak back. It's better to do it completely Find where he’s going.”
"But this gate is too powerful, isn't it? I have fled to the East China Sea, how can I still find him?" Shi Qin gritted his teeth, "Didn't he just help the Yin Yang Sect to plot against them several times? Then Nie Qingyuan also So stingy."
Shi Yirui stuck out his tongue, thinking that it was no small plot. Shi Qin had almost tricked the Taoist sect. Of course, the reason why Shi Qin tricked the Taoist sect was because the two of them were similar to the Yin Yang Sect. , so Shi Yirui only dared to complain in his heart, but did not dare to speak out.
Touching his beard, Shi Qin frowned and said: "We have to be more careful next time. When we go out, you all wear the sky-shielding talisman. There are many Taoist methods. Who knows if there are any secret techniques that can detect us."
Zheng Duobao and Shi Yirui both nodded. Shi Qin explained a few more words, then pulled Shi Yirui up and went out.
Watching the two people go out, Zheng Duobao sat blankly for a while before lying down again, but then he closed his eyes. Those memory fragments came to mind again like a lantern, but when he tried hard to see those pictures clearly, But it was all blurry and couldn't be seen clearly at all.
Different from Shi Qin's thinking, Zheng Duobao did not think that the names he called out in his sleep were those of great powers, or in other words, they were just similar names.
Just like the Xuanyuan he called was not the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, but a person whose name also had Xuanyuan in it, or had a similar pronunciation.
But I don’t know if it’s because of his recent frequent dreams and trance, but Zheng Duobao feels an inexplicable sense of intimacy every time he utters these names.
It was as if they had been friends through countless life and death situations!
