NOVEL WEB Chapter 505 Story
Lu Yunchang frowned when he heard this, and Qin Yue was also aroused by his words: "What's going on?"
Seeing that the two of them had no intention of leaving immediately, the old man let go of his hands, sighed, and spoke softly.
"This matter starts with the construction of Black Jade City.".
After the old man finished speaking, the two of them knew what happened.
As the old man narrated, the two of them understood the whole story.
Qiuli finally left the mortal world and began to visit famous mountains and rivers. In the process, he discovered that his golden and iron-like cultivation barrier had actually become loose.
So he became more determined that the path he was taking was the right one. In order to break through in one fell swoop, he finally chose to enter this endless mountain, hoping to get closer to the avenue of heaven and earth.
I don’t know if there was some secret arrangement, but he traveled all the way through mountains and rivers and finally came here.
The strange sight here naturally attracted his attention. Not only was the ground bare, but even the stones within tens of miles of Fangxu had turned into black jade that was neither stone nor jade.
He discovered that there was actually some extremely weak spiritual energy hidden in this stone, as well as an equally weak Yin energy.
You must know that Confucianism and Shinto monks are closest to the great avenue of heaven and earth, and they are also the most sensitive to such changes in heaven and earth. He immediately felt that something was wrong.
After some exploration, it was discovered that there was actually a huge vein of spiritual stone deep underground. At the same time, he also discovered the existence of a group of people who used spirit stone veins as energy to communicate with the underground Yin Qi for cultivation. Over the years, the overflowing Spiritual Qi and Yin Qi created the strange scene here.
"Ghost path?"
The old man nodded: "Yes."
Since ancient times, Shinto, Confucianism, Fu, Tao, etc., as well as ghosts and other treacherous channels, seem to be innately incapable of dealing with them. Whenever they encounter them, they are almost always in a situation where they will never stop.
So when he discovered that group of people, Qiuli took action without hesitation. The entire world here has almost been assimilated by this group of ghost cultivators, and the great avenues of heaven and earth are not visible. Qiu Li's Confucian and Taoist cultivation is invincible, and he can directly kill him with his powerful Confucian and Taoist supernatural powers.
Just when Qiu Li breathed a sigh of relief, an extremely powerful evil aura instantly enveloped him, but it was completely isolated by his awe-inspiring righteousness and did not invade his body.
Only then did he realize that those he had just killed were minions, and there was a strong ghost master deep underground who was preparing to break through to the king's realm. Sensing that his men were killed, he woke up and immediately went to Qiu Li.
Both of them are at the peak of spiritual transformation, and they are just a hair away from breaking through. That battle was earth-shattering. In the end, Qiu Li did not hesitate to destroy his foundation and forcibly tore apart the world blockade of these ghost cultivators, and then attracted the power of heaven and earth to kill the ghost cultivators' physical bodies.
The ghost cultivator saw that the situation was over, but he was unwilling to be killed by Qiu Li like this. When he was about to fight back, Qiu Li was also seriously injured and beaten to death.
However, ghost cultivators, like Shinto, are all based on the soul. Although the physical body dies and the soul has no basis, there are always ghost cultivators with spiritual bodies who are not so easy to die completely.
Qiu Li used the power of heaven and earth brought in to seal off the world again to prevent the ghost cultivators from escaping, and at the same time sent an urgent message back to Confucianism.
When the Confucian masters arrived, the ghost cultivator saw that there was no hope of escape, and finally made up his mind to disintegrate his own soul, causing every ray of his soul to be completely integrated into the Yin Qi on the earth.
Qiu Li had no choice about this.
The ghost cultivator's methods are weird and unpredictable, but he dare not easily break the seal of heaven and earth for fear that the ghost cultivator's true spirit will still survive and escape.
In the end, the Confucian sect came up with a way to suppress the world with the yang energy of heaven and earth, so that the ghost cultivators would never be able to escape even if they didn't die.
And what is the simplest way to use the yang energy of heaven and earth? That's popularity.
So after decades of hard work, Black Jade City was finally built. At the same time, the black jade mine began to be mined, and the gathered Yin Qi was mined and dispersed bit by bit. Over time, it is only a matter of time before things change.
The good times did not last long, maybe because this group of ghost cultivators had not returned for decades, another group of ghost cultivators came here. After learning the whole story, they threatened the lives of everyone in Black Jade City to force Qiu Li to fight them.
However, Qiuli's foundation had been destroyed in the last war, so he would be defeated by a monk of the same level. In the end, he could only die physically and his soul was captured.
In order to save their companions, those ghost cultivators directly used evil means to seal Qiu Li's true spirit in the black jade city, making it symmetrical with the ghost cultivator. Mutually restricting, yet interdependent.
Although Qiu Li wanted to be a martyr, his Confucian and Taoist disciples could not bear to break the situation and harm him, so they allowed the situation to remain until now, hoping to find a solution.
Qiu Li had no choice but to seek help from others, hoping that someone could break this situation. At that time, both he and the ghost cultivator will die, and the world will completely return to normal.
Hearing this, Qin Yue wondered: "There is nothing weird about this world?"
The old man said: "It is the Confucian sages who have used great means to communicate with heaven and earth, so this area is no different from other places. But if you sense it carefully, you will still feel something different."
As expected, the two of them sensed each other carefully, but after just a moment, their expressions became a little strange. Everything in this world seems normal, but in fact there are some differences compared to other places.
The old man said: "My ancestors died as martyrs just to bring peace to this world. I hope the two gentlemen can consider helping our ancestors to be liberated."
Lu Yunchang said: "Old man, since the Confucian sages have already made a plan, why not wait for them to come up with a solution to this matter and find someone to help yourself?"
The old man sighed: "It has been hundreds of years. If there was a way, it would have been solved long ago. But now there is no news at all. They just want the ancestors' true spirits to restrain the ghost cultivators and let them kill each other. In this case, it is better to have fun. . These Confucian and Taoist monks have changed their character and become sanctimonious. They talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but what they do is really unacceptable."
In response to his words, the two of them remained silent in tacit agreement. In fact, Lu Yunchang actually has a good impression of Confucian and Taoist monks. Just like Zhang Chenyi, although the two of them have not known each other for a long time, and they have not even experienced too many storms, in his mind, a person like Zhang Chenyi should be like a Confucian scholar.
Therefore, Lu Yunchang actually believed in what the old man said Qiu Li had done. This was indeed something that Confucian and Taoist monks could do.
After listening to the story told by the old man, neither of them spoke.
They declined the old man's repeated requests and did not dare to agree to the matter.
When the two of them walked through most of the city and found Qi Qingqiu, she was looking at clothes in a tailor shop. Holding a large bag of clothes in his hands, when he saw the two people arriving, he greeted them familiarly and asked them to help pay for it.
