Leaves of the book?
I didn't respond at first.
In the next moment, enlightenment came, and I took out the human skin scroll given to me by the monk.
Under my father's cue, I shook my hand and swung it directly at Old Gong's head!
The human skin melted away like water and milk, disappearing without a trace...
Old Gong simultaneously collapsed into a gray mist, and I could feel that he had returned to the night pot. My shoulders felt slightly heavier.
"Phew..." My father let out a breath, then said, "Lama Agon said there might be a hidden danger in Old Gong that could erupt. I didn't expect... it to happen so soon."
My heart was beating extremely fast, just barely calming down, with my eyebrows furrowed.
Lama Agon... did he also notice the same thing as Gao Tientao Ren?
This is the best of the worst-case scenarios.
However, is it too fast?
Old Gong's behavior was abnormal for a while. I asked a question, and Old Gong himself realized the potential danger and it exploded. If I hadn't asked, Old Gong would never have realized it. By the time he had accumulated enough, would he not be instantly disintegrated and consumed?
In the midst of my thoughts, a strong sense of fear swept over me, and I asked in a hoarse voice, "Dad, what effect does that human skin have?"
"Lama Agon has blessed it, the effect is purification, dissolving all the chaotic souls on Old Gong's body. By the way, I haven't told you yet. He also reminded me that you can't let Old Gong continue eating ghosts," my dad answered.
My eyelid twitched even more violently, glanced at the side of Jiang Kuang, and only then did I sigh a relief.
Phew, fortunately, when Old Gong tried to regurgitate the ghosts he had eaten before, he vomited Jiang Kuang out as well. Otherwise, he might have been purified too...
"Muye, you go rest now. I'll accompany Xian Shen and wait for him to sleep before I come back." My mother still had worry in her eyes.
"Mom, I'm fine. These years you haven't rested well either. You go to bed, I'll sit in meditation." Shaking my head, I went forward and invited my parents out of the room.
This night passed very slowly.
After checking the night pot of Old Gong, there were no signs of damage. However, there were some sutras on the surface of the pot, which was very strange. It looked like sutras printed onto the human skin scroll.
I practiced meditation and rested during the first half of the night. In the second half of the night, nothing happened until I went to sleep.
Of course, during that time, I used a talisman to bind and collect Jiang Kuang's soul.
The next day, I woke up early and after carefully considering my conversation with my dad, I made a decision to go to Xian Dong Mountain to retrieve Tian Gong Quan.
Can we kill Tian Shou Dao Ren? This cannot be forced and we may even have to avoid him.
Let the body of Old Qin's head be released, and see if he has a way to deal with the Plague Ghost. The root of the matter is still in Jin Yang.
I didn't knock on my parents' door, letting them rest more, and only when they came to knock on my door did I get up and open it.
After I expressed my thoughts, my dad showed his agreement.
Then, we set off towards Jiang Huang City.
With the corpse-carrying carriage reducing a day's travel time, it took about two days to reach Jiang Huang City.
During these two days, Old Gong didn't show up at all.
He's eaten too many ghosts, and it might take several days to purify him.
In Jiang Huang City, I do have some acquaintances, but it's not convenient for Liang Yu to go and look for Jiaoying.
I planned to go directly to Xian Dong Mountain, but my dad told me it's not possible.
He asked me in detail about everything related to Tian Shou Dao Chang, and then told me that we need to first get a clear understanding of the current layout of Jiang Huang City.
Therefore, our place of stay was chosen to be the yard where I and Jiaoying rented a place before.
Jiaoying paid for a one-year rent, which was still valid.
To gather information, one naturally goes to the Nether Market, but my dad still wouldn't let me go. He asked for a token to enter the Nether Market, and then he and my mom left.
The reason he gave me is much simpler.
The major event that occurred on Si Gu Mountain wasn't too long ago, and my impersonation of Liu Ziyu, severely damaging Tian Shou Dao Chang, must have been spread around extensively.
The attitudes of various sects towards me, after leaving Si Gu Mountain, are unknown to all.
However, Tian Shou Dao Chang must certainly want to kill me. I'm not convenient to be seen, so the couple has been silent for more than ten years and no one knows them. It's much easier to gather information.
To understand the enemy is to understand oneself, which is the key to victory in battle!
I finally understood that while the City God Bureau is not particularly strong, in my eyes it's more of a mob, yet it still caused so many sects to suffer at the hands of my parents. This is because they pay close attention to details and, with the guidance of Old Qin's head, they likely often attack at the soft underbelly and weaknesses of others...
They spent the whole night and most of the morning to return to the courtyard.
I was still in a daze for a long time, because my parents' clothes had been changed again. My dad was wearing a fresh set of athletic clothes, while my mom's was more elegant. The two of them were getting gradually closer to normal people, except for their excessive weight loss.
Even more surprisingly... they had bought two sets of clothes for me as well.
My mom kept urging me to change, looking very delighted.
My heart ached, but I was also delighted inside. Inwardly, I swore to do everything in my power to protect this warmth!
No one can ever separate my family from each other!
Yes, and if Jiaoying were also here, then it would be a complete family.
After the clothes were changed, my mom felt contented, and my dad finally shared the information he had gathered.
After being attacked by a large number of sects and following the grand ceremony at Si Gu Mountain, many sects that dispersed afterwards formed an alliance and attacked Xian Dong Mountain again. As a result, Tian Shou Dao Chang was in ruins, with all the Taoists splitting up and scattering, like lost dogs.
In fact, my dad said that this is just a surface-level appearance. The Taoists of Tian Shou Dao Chang are like reinforced Ghost Trap People who have wandered outside. After doing harm to others, they themselves suffer greatly.
Moreover, after the sect was broken, all of them harbored resentment, and their actions were even more reckless.
Therefore, the many sects had to withdraw from Xian Dong Mountain.
So that the people of Tian Shou Dao Chang can return home.
A very critical point is that currently, no one has found Tian Gong Quan. Many sects have begun to doubt whether Tian Gong Quan truly exists. Previously, everyone believed that Liu Ziyu from the ancient Qiang City said this message, and the Taoists of Liu family would never lie.
In fact, it was Luo Xian Shen, that is, me, who spread this information.
So, is this information true?
After saying all this, my dad also looked at me as if asking a question.
He explained that he wasn't suspecting me, but rather just wanted to make sure I reconfirmed whether the information could be incorrect.
After thinking for a moment, I shared the detailed information with my dad again.
Xian Dong Mountain was originally called Lei Ping Mountain. Tian Gong Quan was hidden there, and the Taoists who guarded Tian Gong Quan all became enlightened and ascended to heaven……
This is the information from Xu Shengbao and his group.
We were disrupted by the Casks when we couldn't find Tian Gong Quan.
Whether this is correct or not, I truly cannot make a judgment.
My dad took a deep breath and murmured, "So that's why the Taoists couldn't find the place. I hadn't heard of any powerful masters among them. If it was Mr. Qin, he might have been able to find Tian Gong Quan just by looking at it. But with Old Gong by your side, it's as if heaven is helping you!"
"To know, Mr. Master and the level of Taoists are on par, making it difficult to collaborate equally. Especially after the incident involving Mr. Jing Yang Mao San hunted Taoists, both parties have developed mutual suspicion."
