Chilling, and not just that.
Kawada Temple... It was actually a Daoist who detached from Gao Dao Observatory.
No wonder they want to pass it down as a heritage.
They were originally the people under the control and oppression of Gao Dao, so it is only right for them to inherit and seek compensation from Gao Dao.
More importantly, it's still in the Tian Shou Daoist Temple.
Lei Ping Daoist is also at the level of Auspicious Yang Spirit, a soul wandering through the world without a constant abode.
According to logic, he is the same as Gao Dao, only people with specific abilities can see him.
Those people, in the logic of Gao Dao, can serve as vessels for the return of the soul.
That is to say, it is only the vessels that can be possessed.
Lei Ping Daoist can always reappear in the mortal world, but he hasn't done so.
Now, he has only taken the body of Tian Shou Daoist?
It was ultimately a sense of compassion; did he not want the Tian Shou Daoist Temple to perish just like that?
Even if the Tian Shou Daoist Temple had committed numerous wrongs, he had always been an onlooker and allowed it?
My plan has failed.
The statue head of Gao Daoist clearly contains a soul.
Another soul at the level of Auspicious Yang Spirit using the body of Tian Shou Daoist might be none can match him in the world.
I have no way of retrieving the old Gong from him.
Even now, if discovered, I would be left without a grave!
"Instrument..."
Tian Shou Daoist murmured: "Who would have thought that after achieving the Auspicious Yang Spirit realm, one would be in such a realm? Countless Daoists flocked to it, but none were prepared to bear this loneliness."
"Hahaha, this Gao Daoist once looked down upon the heavens. Now his realm has fallen, his corpse is infested with worms, and though his soul has been divided into three parts, it has not been contaminated by the three worms. I am not just aiming to have him return to his body simply. His soul merging back into his body has caused a permanent fall in his realm. Unless, one uses the Tian Gong Spring."
"I believe you will not do that."
I was originally planning to slowly retreat, but now I have to escape.
There is absolutely no chance of winning, rushing out is no different from suicide.
However, Tian Shou Dao's words are too strange.
He is going to destroy Gao Daoist?
Why would he say, "I believe you"?
I will retreat again, slowly bow, and try not to reveal any easily noticeable view.
"This..."
The two monks were equally surprised and confused.
"The Gao Dao Observatory is deformed, and the Gao Daoist is a deformed Daoist. He is too extreme, which is why he ended up in such a situation."
"His nature was also extreme, which is why he aspired to heaven but would not be satisfied."
"The sky is right in front of us, and we can see it. The sky can also see us."
"Reincarnation is an endless cycle of existence in different forms, while ascending to heaven is eternal."
"Loneliness is not as terrifying."
"He felt deceived, but has he really been deceived?"
"Excessive talent allowed him to reach a level he shouldn't have, causing him pain. His heart doesn't match the current state of his corpse being infested by three worms."
"Heaven was reincarnated as Lei Ping Mountain, and I was a Daoist pursuing immortality. I had no intention of destroying this. The evil they have done, the seeds they have sown, will naturally bear fruit, and naturally there will be someone who picks the fruit."
"Just because an 'individual' appeared who shouldn't have, it doesn't mean I am destroying causality."
"The Tian Shou Daoist Temple no longer exists."
"I waited until he used his final incantation before possessing him. Those disciples, who died at his hands, were a form of liberation."
"Gao Tian Temple now has two choices: the inheritance of the Gao Dao Observatory, or the inheritance of my Lei Ping Mountain Observatory. You can take whichever you choose."
"Tian Gong Spring, you can drink it."
"If the realm is higher than what you can bear, you will suffer the agony of the heavens, and you can make your own decision."
With that, Tian Shou Daoist's words finished, and the statue head landed completely on the mask of the Gao Daoist's corpse. As he lightly pointed his finger, the runes on the statue head shattered inch by inch.
Three distorted faces kept intertwining, fighting, and resisting, but they were still pulled into the corpse!
The sky darkened.
The wriggling three worms once again covered the entire body, it was terrifying.
The twin monks looked especially stunned, as if they hadn't reacted yet.
"Then, do you think that Luo Xian God deserves to be killed?"
Tian Shou Daoist asked the twin monks.
"This..." One of the old monks shook his head and sighed: "It was just that Luo Xian, with his followers, came to steal graves and corpses. We tried to stop them, but how could our Gao Tian Temple be an evil temple if it had such a benefactor as the Treading-Out-Difficulties Daoist and many other Daoists who came to help us?"
"To treat someone who is not ordinary, use an extraordinary method." The other old monk took over the conversation.
"So answering is very good." Tian Shou Daoist smiled faintly, then turned to Lao Chu and Yang Guijin, asking, "What do you think? Should Luo Xian God be killed?"
Yang Guijin trembled with fear, forcefully shook his head.
Lao Chu's voice was hoarse, and he also lowered his voice, saying: "It should not."
The next moment, Lao Chu cautiously asked, "My brother and I have shaved our heads and become monks of Gao Tian Temple. If Gao Tian Temple is to become a Daoist temple, can we study?"
"Can't."
Tian Shou Daoist still smiled faintly.
"Because, you deceived me."
Lao Chu was confused, his head shook like a drum.
But his head suddenly flew up!
Bang! A sudden loud noise, and it landed on the ceiling! Even more bizarre was that it rolled towards me, gurgling and gurgling!
In an instant, the head rolled to my hiding place, Lao Chu's eyes showed confusion, as if all vitality had been lost, his gaze gradually faded.
" I did not deceive..." The words of Yang Guijin had not yet fallen when...
He also crashed with a loud clang, his head hitting the ground!
His eyes that refused to close, stared at the night sky.
"Luo Xian God, is this avenging the heavens?"
Tian Shou Daoist stood up, he raised his head and gazed in the direction of my hiding place.
I tremblingly stood up, my eyes had a glimmer of clarity and a hint of confusion.
"Si Gui Mountain, good."
"I, Lei Ping, have almost faded into obscurity among people."
"You, heart is determined."
"I will not force you, here is this object, it's for you."
In the instant when Tian Shou Daoist's words fell, his hands landed on his face, and he pushed them up with all his might!
Once again, it was his head that flew up!
A loud, muffled sound as Tian Shou Daoist's body hit the ground.
A heavy clang as his head fell in front of me.
The depth in his face was gone.
It was the soul of Lei Ping Daoist leaving his body.
Twisted, painful, and lasted for a moment.
Finally, it returned to silence.
As long as one dies quickly, human reactions can't keep up. It's as if someone's head is cut off quickly, and one can still see their body and the broken neck.
Tian Shou Daoist has regained consciousness.
He has died.
His last gaze was a direct one with me, the junior whom he had always felt had a connection with.
I picked up Tian Shou Daoist's head.
Below the courtyard, the twin monks looked up at me. There was no malevolence in their eyes, and they too were slightly bewildered.
I took a deep breath, grabbed Tian Shou Daoist's head, and took three or four steps to jump down from the rooftop to the side of his body.
I remained alert, quickly hung the night pot around my waist, and found all my things.
In this interval, the twin monks did not make a move.
They even slightly retreated, and kept a certain distance from me, their eyes carrying a hint of reverence.
