Huang Hexian disappeared in a flash, and Huangsha City regained its calm.
Ren Qing pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache. He was a little confused about Li Yaoyang's appearance. Ze Ren should be completely different from Gu Chong.
I really don’t see any opportunity to break through the bottleneck, so why take such a risk?
Now that Li Yaoyang fell into Huang Hexian's hands, he basically had no way out.
Ren Qing even suspected that Li Yaoyang might not be able to maintain his own intelligence. It would be difficult to even save his life if he was promoted to the Yin Chao Realm.
The surprise shown by Huang Hexian was also a bit strange, as if the extraterritorial evil in his mouth was some kind of chance.
At that time, other Taoist temples also had strange movements, indicating that Huang Hexian was not the only one who knew about it.
Ren Qing frowned, the situation was getting worse and worse.
He walked silently through the streets and soon came to the Yellow Crane Temple. Some ghost figures broke away from their bodies and hid in the corner.
Ren Qing decided to prepare in advance to avoid being unable to react in time when unexpected changes occurred.
As for rescuing Li Yaoyang, there is really nothing he can do. Taking action rashly will only endanger his own life and he will be compensated when the time comes.
Moreover, Ren Qing had a vague feeling that Li Yaoyang seemed to have done this deliberately.
But it's hard to guess how certain it is.
He then returned to the courtyard, meditating on the spell for a long time to calm down his mind, and then threw his consciousness into the prison in his belly.
As soon as Ren Qing entered the prison in his belly, he heard screams.
Sha Shanzi lay flat on his back, covering his abdomen with both hands. There were traces of gravel on his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Mastering the prison method is a process that tortures the body and soul. Not everyone can bear it, so death is common.
Ren Qing suddenly seemed to remember something, and conveniently recorded the Wind and Sand Qi Refining Technique behind the book, and then threw it to Sha Shanzi.
Sha Shanzi quickly picked up the book and looked at the contents.
He found that the Wind and Sand Qi Refining Method seemed to have some similarities with the Wind and Sand Method, and it might be able to reduce the pain of mastering evil methods.
A few days of gravel was wasted.
However, the disadvantages of making up the magic are very obvious. Just because the meat is delicious is a big trouble and may attract the attention of strange creatures.
If the Jailer Hall wants to set foot in Jingzhou, it cannot practice fictitious magic, otherwise it will be easy to see its true nature as food.
Ren Qing ignored Sha Shanzi and looked at the wall recording the Dionysian Dharma.
After the spell is displayed in text, you can view more content through the information stream.
【Dionysian Law】
[Created by the Taoist Master of Wine and Meat, it requires men, women, old and young to cook thirty-six kinds of wine and drink them together to complete it. 】
[Every kind of drink made with artificial ingredients can help practice the Dionysian method, and it will only be effective after being taken for the first time. 】
[Taking a large amount of alcohol will cause alienation, and the blood all over the body will turn into alcohol. 】
[Drinker: A thousand cups are not enough]
[Drinking alone: wine bag and rice bag]
[The Greedy Drinker: Wine Pond and Meat Forest]
Ren Qing noticed that the alienation route showed too little information, but just looking at the characteristics of the technique, it was a bit scary to think about it.
The people behind the scenes spread the Dionysian magic, either to collect wine and practice the magic.
Besides, there is another possibility.
If a monk drinks wine and causes uncontrollable alienation of the body, the body should not be able to produce blood that turns into wine.
In this way, the blood must be replenished by drinking alcohol...
There are thousands of thoughts in Ren Qing's mind, and various clues are connected together.
Since he can attract maggots with wine lungs, it is possible that the abscessed master had mastered the Dionysian method before he was alive, but his body was decayed.
He needs booze to stay alive.
But it’s hard to say. There is too little information currently known, and it is very likely that the answer obtained will be wrong by a hair or thousands of miles.
Ren Qing has a slight headache, the situation in Mizuze is confusing, and the Jailer Hall may enter the scene at any time as a spoiler.
If the Wind and Sand Qi Refining Technique spreads among ordinary people, Huangsha City may be in danger of being destroyed, and they can run away by then.
Ren Qing recorded the Dionysian method and then erased the words on the wall.
He then inquired about Li Yaoyang through the ghost in the jailer's camp, and learned that the latter's behavior was instructed by Master Dameng.
If Ren Qing wants to lend a helping hand, he must protect himself. After all, the water in Huangsha City is too deep, and even the Yellow Crane Immortal is terrifying.
He focused on Sha Shanzi's daily routine and observed the situation secretly.
Within a few days, there were some undercurrents surging in the city.
Huanghe Temple announced to the outside world that it would hold an immortal assembly to congratulate Huang Hexian on his ascension. On this grounds, it recruited more than 30 boys and girls.
It seems that Huang Hexian is eyeing the third level of Shuizhefa, otherwise why would he mobilize troops? It has something to do with Li Yaoyang.
He used the hidden ghosts to observe the pilgrims entering and leaving the Taoist temple. It was obvious that he had the influence of other Taoist temples, and he was probably testing the truth.
Ren Qing inquired about the Immortal Ascension Conference and soon gained something.
According to nearby residents, a similar situation happened sixty or seventy years ago.
At that time, hundreds of Taoist boys and Zexians ascended.
"It's really unkind..."
Ren Qing has basically determined that the Immortal Ascension Conference is preparation for promotion to the third realm.
He vaguely heard Song Zongwu talk about that the Jailer Hall had sent jailers to Shuize, and it was very likely that they fell into the hands of the Ze people at that time.
Ren Qing was not going to sit still and wait for death, so he went out and pretended to wander around the city.
He looked at the officially awarded Taoist priests on the street, his expression showing some amusement.
The Huangsha Taoist Association seemed to take advantage of the fact that all attention was focused on Huanghe Temple and began to expand unscrupulously.
The number of people practicing the Wind and Sand Qi Refining Method has increased from a dozen to thirty or forty.
And the rate of increase is getting faster and faster. It won't take too long, at most two or three days, to cover all officially awarded Taoist priests.
Ren Qing decided not to waste such a good opportunity, and took advantage of this moment to let Liu Chuan advance to his food realm, so that he could obtain the complete water method.
All the Taoist temples in the city are engaging in intrigues with Huanghe Temple, so no one pays attention to Baiyun Temple.
However, his food realm requires five qi to rise to the vitality, but if Ren Qing thinks about it, the problem of the five pseudo-souls is actually the easiest to solve.
Ren Qing used Zesha to throw into the flesh and blood furnace and burn it, and obtained a lot of materials called "water souls", which came in handy.
【Water Soul】
[It is condensed by the Immortal Food Technique and contains a total of one hundred and thirty-five residual souls. Eating water souls will gradually transform into Zeren. 】
He held the water soul between his fingers and carefully looked at the glass-like material, thinking about finding a target to try it on.
If you don’t have to choose children, the range is huge.
Ren Qing planned to start from the government cell, but before night came, the stone door outside the house was knocked heavily several times.
"Shashanzi, come out quickly."
Ren Qing glanced at the sky outside the window. It was clear that there were still several hours before night, so how could someone come to him about the job of saving corpses?
"Taoist Changshi, what's wrong?"
He recognized the person by the voice.
Taoist Changshi is the Taoist priest who welcomes guests at Huanghe Temple. He is a pretty good person. He usually comes to handle the handover of corpses.
Ren Qing opened the courtyard door, and a middle-aged man stood outside.
"Sha Shanzi, you..."
Taoist Changshi was anxious to explain, but he couldn't explain clearly.
"Fellow Taoist Changshi, is there another corpse in Huangheguan?"
Taoist Changshi smiled bitterly and nodded, and then said: "Don't be angry after hearing this. Immortal fate has its own fate, A Zhuo..."
Ren Qing immediately understood what the other party meant. Azhuo had also gone to Huanghe Temple to work as a Taoist boy.
It is unknown whether A Zhuo became a Zeren, but his true form must have died inexplicably, and eventually turned into a mummy.
Seeing Ren Qing's silence, Taoist Changshi thought he was overly sad and couldn't help but comfort him: "As you know, Taoist boys die in order to become immortals every few days."
"There seems to be a lot of it lately."
After hearing what Ren Qing said, Taoist Changshi smiled and shook his head.
He is just an ordinary Taoist priest who welcomes guests and does complicated errands every day, so he is not qualified to comment on Taoist temples.
"Let's go. I've grown up watching Azhuo. It's better to bury him as soon as possible."
Taoist Changshi sighed and continued: "Shashanzi, time is also destiny."
"Fellow Taoist, let's go."
Ren Qing knew that Taoist Changshi was deliberately betraying himself, so he planned to take him to Huanghe Temple without waiting until night.
He suddenly remembered the mummy of a Taoist boy he had come into contact with. Although there was a residual soul left in Niwan Palace, he was actually dead long ago.
Maybe it could be used to feed water souls, since the Pseudo-Ze people don't need complete souls anyway.
The two walked towards Huanghe Temple. On the way, they casually chatted about matters in the Taoist temple. Taoist Changshi couldn't help but complain.
The number of pilgrims every day increased several times, and there was a mix of good and bad among them, which made them, the Taoist priests who welcomed the guests, miserable.
When the Yellow Crane Temple appeared not far away, Taoist Changshi shut his mouth.
Ren Qing looked up.
The entire Taoist temple is built of rock bricks, and the courtyard wall alone is three to four meters high.
There is no vegetation at all in the water, so Huang Hexian specially used rocks to carve pine trees, cypresses, and even a constantly flowing sand pool.
Even within Huangsha City, Huanghe Temple is unique.
Ren Qing saw a dozen people kneeling in front of the Taoist temple. They were all people from Huangsha City in their thirties and forties, and some of them were seriously dehydrated.
Taoist Changshi explained in a low voice: "They are all here to ask for immortality. As long as they kneel for three days and three nights, they can bring the children at home."
Unable to bear it, he turned away and said with a low, bitter smile: "Shashanzi, why do you think this is necessary..."
Ren Qing didn't reply.
He thought it was a bit incredible that the situation in Huangsha City could maintain superficial stability.
How can people in the lake restrain themselves from exhausting the lake to fish?
The two walked into the courtyard from the back door of the Taoist temple, and a Taoist priest immediately came to stare at them, fearing that something would happen.
Ten mummies were placed in the open space, exuding a faint smell of blood.
Ren Qing found that the mummy was still alive, and even the pupils of Adhuo's body were not dilated, but there was no way to save him.
"After death, you will fulfill your wish in the Palace of Hell. If you are reincarnated, you will not be a human being again. You will ascend to the clouds and become a Taoist immortal as soon as possible..."
He whispered softly to himself, and Taoist Master Changshi took off the Taoist robe of the mummy, and then wrapped it in linen cloth made of maggot skin.
In the eyes of the Gobi people, maggots are a thing in the clouds. If you bury them with maggots, you can become immortal in the next life, but if you are naked, you will never be reincarnated.
Ren Qing piled the mummies on the bone cart, then declined Taoist Changshi's kindness and pushed them towards the city gate.
After he arrived at the mass grave and made sure that no one was paying attention, he selected seven mummies and put them in the cell in his belly, while the rest were placed in the mass grave.
Ren Qing silently recited the Rebirth Mantra before returning to the courtyard.
