Chapter 391 Shadow Master
Chapter 391 Shadow Master
"I hope you can help my master get revenge!"
"Then you have to heal me first!"
"This junior understands! I will wake up the master first!"
After Mu Changxin finished saying this, he began to place an ancient oil lamp without a wick and the porcelain jar that he and Ruan Ling'er had brought back in front of dozens of spirit tablets in the ancestral hall.
This oil lamp looks somewhat similar to Yunshu's ghost lamp.
After Mu Changxin placed the oil lamp, he took out a few pieces of black and gray talisman paper and pasted them around the oil lamp. Then he made hand gestures with one hand and recited an ancient spell.
After a moment, the wickless oil lamp suddenly lit up with a faint blue light.
Then a light gray smoke slowly floated out of the porcelain jar, forming a small human figure.
The shadow of an old Taoist in a gray robe appeared above the oil lamp.
"It seems that I am already dead, Chang Xin!"
"Master!" Mu Changxin and Chen Xiao bowed to the shadow together.
"Qingyun Sect will be handed over to you from now on, and you are not allowed to take revenge!" The phantom ordered Mu Changxin and Chen Xiao who were kneeling on the ground.
"Who is this?" The phantom noticed Yun Shu sitting in the wheelchair.
"On the way we met people from the Shahe Gang who wanted to steal our master's remains. Thanks to this senior's intervention, Junior Sister Ling'er and I were able to escape." Mu Changxin explained.
"I, Ruan Xinguang, would like to thank you, fellow Taoist!" Ruan Xinguang's shadow clasped his fists towards Yun Shu.
Yun Shu clasped his hands together in response, "I only offered my help because I wanted to ask for help from Qing Yun Sect."
"What can I do for you, fellow Daoist?"
"Master, this senior's seven souls were sealed by a secret technique, causing him to have difficulty in moving. The spiritual energy in his body was also imprisoned. I have checked all the books in the Sutra Library, but have not found any treatment method." Mu Changxin explained for Yun Shu.
"Hmm? That's not right. All my spiritual power has been restrained. How can I save you?" Ruan Xinguang asked Xiang Muchangxin.
"Biao!" Yun Shu shouted.
Sang Biao suddenly jumped out from under the wheelchair and yawned lazily.
"It saved your apprentice." Yun Shu smiled and looked at Ruan Xinguang and said.
"Wait!" Ruan Xinguang's eyes were filled with surprise as he stared at Sang Biao. His expression was as if he had met a fellow Taoist whom he had not seen for many years.
"Biaozi, are you having an affair with this old man?" Yunshu turned and asked Sangbiao.
Sang Biao knew that Yun Shu was joking, so he rolled his eyes and ignored him.
"Dao...fellow Daoist...is this your spirit beast?" Ruan Xinguang excitedly began to call Yun Shu "you".
"Well, what's the matter? Daoist friend, do you like dog meat too?"
"Fellow Daoist, you are joking. Your spirit beast is the divine beast Bai Ze!"
"White Pond?"
"Yes, the divine beast Bai Ze!"
"Bai Ze is an ancient mythical beast. It is snow-white, has two horns on its head, has the body of a lion, and a goat beard. It can speak human language, can see through the good and bad in the world, and can drive away all the evil spirits in the world."
"Legend has it that in ancient times, Bai Ze, Qilin, Bai Yan, and Teng Snake followed Nuwa and fought against the four great beasts: Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise. In the end, they won a tragic victory. Bai Ze also exhausted all his magic power in this battle and fell to the mortal world."
"Rumor has it that Bai Ze is an auspicious beast that often accompanies a virtuous and holy monarch."
As Ruan Xinguang spoke, he secretly glanced at Yun Shu.
I thought silently in my heart: No matter how you look at it, they don’t look alike.
"Fuck! Boss, am I so awesome?" Sang Biao's face was full of excitement.
"Bai Ze is a divine beast with such high status, how could he be a lazy dog like you?" Yun Shu said disdainfully.
"Fellow Daoist, have you made a mistake? My spirit beast does not have the body of a lion, but a dog's. And it's not white." Yun Shu asked Ruan Xinguang.
"When I grow up, I will have the body of a lion. Then I will be very cool!" Sang Biao explained first.
Ruan Xinguang shook his head and said seriously, "Except for the different fur color, I can conclude that it is the Bai Ze divine beast, and it may turn white when it grows up."
"Okay, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter to me whether it is Bai Ze or not. I just want to know why you were so surprised when you saw it?" Yun Shu asked.
"The first generation ancestor of our Qingyun Sect also had a Bai Ze divine beast by her side. After she ascended to heaven, the divine beast stayed in Qingyun Sect and protected us."
"Later, due to some strange circumstances, the divine beast got into a fight with a powerful monk who passed by Qingyun Sect, and both of them died. Without the divine beast's protection, Qingyun Sect gradually declined."
"Later, our Qingyun Sect had a rare cultivation genius, and his cultivation reached the fusion stage. He became the 36th generation ancestor of our Qingyun Sect. It seemed that our Qingyun Sect would rise again under the leadership of this ancestor."
"But then something unexpected happened. This ancestor somehow broke into the tomb of our Qingyun Sect's Bai Ze divine beast. After he came out, his heart of Taoism collapsed, he fell into madness, and ran away from Qingyun Sect on his own."
"Our Qingyun Sect has fallen further since then, and no genius who practices medicine has appeared again."
"Sigh..." Ruan Xinguang sighed deeply as he looked at Mu Changxin and Chen Xiao, two disciples with low cultivation levels.
"What does this have to do with my spirit beast?" Yun Shu knew that the old Taoist had more to say.
"Before I joined the sect, an elder of our Qingyun Sect spent all his wealth before his death to ask a senior master who practiced the art of prophecy for an opportunity for our Qingyun Sect to change its destiny."
"This opportunity is that when the divine beast Bai Ze comes to our door, it will be the day when our Qingyun Sect will rise again!" Ruan Xinguang could no longer hide his excitement, and he looked at Sang Biao excitedly.
Sang Biao felt uncomfortable being stared at, so he hid under Yun Shu's wheelchair again.
"Alas... You are almost scared to death, but you are still thinking about this broken sect. What is going on in your head, an old Taoist priest?"
"I didn't restore Qingyun Sect to its former glory during my lifetime. Instead, I made it decline. I feel very guilty!"
"Okay, I don't want to express my feelings to you anymore. Just tell me, do you need my spirit beast's help with something?" Yun Shu didn't want to continue talking to this remnant soul, so he spoke directly.
"Fellow Daoist is indeed a man of few words. I need you to bring your spirit beast to meet the 36th ancestor of our Qingyun Sect, Li Yu."
"Ah? He's still alive."
"Alive."
"What's in it for me?" Yun Shu didn't want to work for nothing.
"If you can restore our Qingyun Sect's Patriarch Li's sanity, with his medical skills at the fusion stage, it should be easy for him to cure your illness."
Yun Shu lowered his head and fell into deep thought. He once again released his spiritual sense, trying to wake up Yu Linglong in the Hanyue Tower, but no matter how he called, Yu Linglong did not respond at all.
"Okay, I can promise you to try, but the premise is that your ancestor in the fusion stage can't eat dog meat as soon as we meet."
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. Grandmaster Li's cultivation has been reduced to the Nascent Soul stage. He shouldn't pose any threat to you. Moreover, although his cultivation has declined, his medical skills are still there. Grandmaster Li will definitely be able to cure your stubborn illness!"
"I hope so... Let's not waste time and let your apprentice lead the way for me." Yun Shu glanced at Mu Changxin, then said to Ruan Xinguang.
