After a lot of trouble, it is already midnight.
Shuo Bai said that he would know after staying for one night. Judging from the current time, it won't be long before I know what kind of trouble is hidden in the hotel.
Shuo Bai closed his eyes and meditated, regulating the breath in his body.
I sat in the eggshell next to him, refining my energy and breathing out.
When I was practicing Qi clearly, I still felt that the spiritual power in my body had not increased. But now, I mobilize the spiritual power to circulate in my body. With this flow of spiritual power, I feel a continuous flow of spiritual power coming out of my lower abdomen.
And, as the spiritual power flows through my body, my consciousness becomes clear. I feel like I am on a calm lake, the water is like a mirror, I am floating on it, there is no ripple in the water.
The mind is as still as water, without any distracting thoughts. This should be the state it is talking about, right?
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there were ripples in the water. The ripples appeared more and more urgently. The ripples passed to me, bringing a cold chill to me.
I was shocked, this was Yin Qi!
I opened my eyes suddenly, and Shuo Bai also opened his eyes at this moment.
He looked at me and said, "The divine power is indeed mysterious, allowing you to progress so quickly. It seems that you have also detected it."
When I heard him say this, I realized what I was feeling just now.
That's perception!
Beasts have an innate sense of danger. Even if they are sleeping, they can sense danger around them at any time. This ability is something humans don’t have.
As my spiritual power increases, not only do my senses become sharper than ordinary people, I also have a greater sense of danger than ordinary people!
Even if I was meditating without any distractions, the perception created by my spiritual power was still protecting my safety.
No wonder those who practice Taoism pursue power. Getting stronger brings many benefits. This feeling is so good!
I calmed down my excitement and nodded to Shuo Bai, "I feel the Yin Qi, the ghost has come out."
As I spoke, I stood up and planned to walk out.
Shuo Bai stopped me, "What are you going to do?"
His question confused me, and I looked at him doubtfully, "Of course I'm going to catch ghosts."
Aren't we staying here just to catch ghosts?
"No," Shuo Bai said, "Tang Ning, we have to wait for them to beg us. Only if they come to beg us, can you get back your money in double the amount."
I thought about it, and it was indeed the truth.
As the saying goes, rushing is not a good deal.
If I take the initiative to catch ghosts, people might think that I am nosy, or even say that I am a liar. I don't want to be thankless.
I sat back in the eggshell. Waiting was just waiting anyway. With nothing to do, I asked Shuo Bai about Jiang Chen.
So far, I only know that Jiang Chen is the Ghost King of Fengdu, and that he and Feng Nansheng are old acquaintances. I don’t know anything else.
I asked Shuo Bai, "With Jiang Chen's identity, who dares to seal him?"
Although Jiang Chen is not a god, his father is. He is the crown prince of Fengdu. Emperor Fengdu is in charge of the eighteen levels of hell, which are filled with extremely vicious desperadoes. Jiang Chen was killed and if Emperor Fengdu was angered, it would definitely lead to a big war.
Jiang Chen's identity is so sensitive, who sealed him in the first place? Moreover, he was sealed, why didn't his father care about him?
Shuo Bai glanced at me. He seemed to not want to mention it, but then he didn't know what he thought of. He changed his mind and said to me, "I don't know who sealed him specifically, but I know he was sealed." The reason for the seal. His sealing was related to the disappearance of the nine sacred coffins that year."
Back then, tribes of gods that were a higher level than the heavens still existed. The princess in the tribe controlled the nine sacred coffins. Suddenly one day, no one knew what happened. The princess dismissed the nine sacred coffins without any warning.
The nine divine coffins disappeared throughout the three realms. Without the protection of the nine divine coffins, the heavens launched an attack on the tribe. The final outcome of the battle was a great victory in Heaven, and the tribe was named the Demon Clan and sealed into the Demon Cave.
Jiang Chen was sealed before Heaven launched an attack on the tribe.
I know the story Shuo Bai told.
Without the nine sacred coffins, the tribe fell to the altar. Some tribesmen were sealed into the demon cave together with the demons, while other tribesmen escaped.
These tribesmen are the old Taoist priests and star witches. They gathered together to find the nine sacred coffins and planned to rebuild the glory of the tribe.
To be honest, after knowing the cause and effect of this matter, I can even sympathize with the old Taoist priests.
Isn’t the tribal princess looking for trouble? The Nine Divine Coffins make her tribe noble and powerful. It was her inexplicable behavior that harmed her tribe and people.
Although I think what the tribal princess did was wrong, I don't think the old Taoist priests are good people. After all, they are the ones who keep an eye on me and want my life all the time.
I checked the timeline, "Jiang Chen was sealed when the Nine Divine Coffins disappeared. Does he know the whereabouts of the Nine Divine Coffins?"
Shuo Bai shook his head, "I don't know what he knows. But I know that the person who sealed him must be extraordinary. When he was sealed, Emperor Fengdu didn't even react at all."
I was surprised, "Could it be that Emperor Fengdu couldn't afford to offend the person who sealed Jiang Chen?"
"It's possible, but not absolute," Shuo Bai said. "There's also the possibility that Emperor Fengdu knew that sealing Jiang Chen was for Jiang Chen's benefit, so he didn't take care of Jiang Chen for so many years."
Shuo Bai really sees things more comprehensively than I do. I can only see one aspect, but Shuo Bai can see the whole thing thoroughly.
I thought for a moment and then asked, "Shuo Bai, Jiang Chen and Feng Nansheng know each other, do you know about this?"
Shuo Bai nodded, "I know."
Before he finished speaking, the door was suddenly knocked, accompanied by anxious shouts.
"Ms. Tang, are you asleep? I am the hotel manager Liu. I have something to trouble you. Could you please open the door?"
I glanced at Shuo Bai.
Shuo Bai gave me an anxious look, and then he said, "It's two o'clock in the morning, so of course I have to go to bed. Is your hotel okay? Knock on the guest's door at night!"
If Shuo Bai wasn't sitting next to me, I could clearly see his expression. Otherwise, just listening to his voice, I would definitely think that he had just been woken up and was full of resentment.
I raised my hand and silently gave Shuo Bai a thumbs up.
Today is an eye-opener for me. The best actor is here. The film industry owes him a statuette!
Outside the door, Manager Liu obviously had the same idea as me. He thought Shuo Bai was woken up and was angry, so his voice became more flattering and said in a flattering manner, "Uncle Liu, I know you are the grandfather of the Xian family. If you are not forced to do anything, why don't you do it?" No matter how brave I am, I don't dare to disturb your rest.
There is something wrong with the room downstairs. Please come out and help us check it out. Helping people solve their problems will also increase your merits, right? Of course, in terms of incense money, I will never miss Miss Tang. "
Manager Liu’s words stunned me.
I looked at Shuo Bai in confusion and asked him in a low voice, "How did Manager Liu know that you are from the Xian family?"
