I thought it was some trouble, but it turned out he just asked Wei Youming to return all the bodies he had taken away.
Of course, I didn't reject it, and Wei Youming had no other opinions. The bodies were released.
I secretly did something. On the way out, I told Wei Youming to carefully observe Qiu Ji, see if there was anything wrong with him, or if he had been... taken over by someone else!
Possession is not the same as the early Borrowed Corpse, Revived Soul method that I knew with Zhang Gui. This is the Borrowed Body, Revived Soul that Han Zizi wants Han Qu to do. The person remains the same, and it's not discernible just from their facial features. Otherwise, Old Gong and Wu Jinlan and others would have shown some reaction.
Wei Youming's ability is more special, and he can see the clues from the essence of a person.
The result is that Wei Youming tells me that Qiu Ji is still Qiu Ji, he has nothing wrong, and his soul has not changed.
Wei Youming didn't just observe Qiu Ji; he also watched Liu Ziyu and Liu Yujie. They all seemed exceptionally normal.
Then is it really me who is overthinking this?
Have I been too cautious due to being preempted by Ji Kui too many times?
The elder of the Liu family did not appear, but only us few returned to the ancient Qiang city.
Two yin-yang masters were killed, which is a significant loss for the ascension hall. After all, none of the people brought out by Wu Jinlan are weak.
However, the rest of them went through a big feng shui land once, which is still the core of Gucheng. Their yin-yang skills have benefited greatly from this, and the benefits and losses are in proportion. Wu Jinlan and others can all accept it.
We probably stayed in the ancient Qiang city for another three days.
Both the Qiang people and the Pure Yang Daoist Temple have been very grateful to us. Liu Zhengqi even invited me twice, allowing me to watch his disciples practice their martial arts.
On the fourth day, I intended to leave.
Liu Zhengqi gave me a token similar to the one of silk Yan, indicating that I can enter and exit the ancient Qiang city at will, and the token is equivalent to seeing elders or immortals.
Old Gong was quite content, saying that the people of the Pure Yang Daoist Temple are not that stingy.
I asked Liu Zhengqi one last thing, about the Li family's Outward Spirit and about encountering the Three Corpses Bite again before the Battlefield Unification. Do they have a way to deal with it?
The true worms exist, even on the four-regular mountains. For the Juxue Mountains, Mao Zhan had a trip to the Tribe Worms and was annihilated. Afterward, another true worm emerged from his blood to make him go astray, leading to his son's and daughter-in-law's deaths.
That was completely due to negligence in preparation.
After thinking for a long time, Liu Zhengqi said: "Anyone who chooses to be a spiritual battle during the formation period will completely close themselves in one place. If successful, their breath will show everything. If unsuccessful, their body will be empty, and I haven't seen the Tribe Worms return after once being annihilated. What do you mean, the Tribe Worms will keep reappearing? After cutting down the heart demon and the three Corpses Bite, they still exist?"
From Liu Zhengqi, I didn't get the answer I wanted.
I wanted to know the method to deal with the true Corpse Worms, because, if I don't control the true worms, I won't be able to take that step.
The fierce battle with Ji Kui earlier, what I enlightened myself about was not only the high-level Daoist magic of Juxue Mountain called "Juxue Mountain High-Grade Daoism" used by Mao Zhan, but also the opportunity for breakthrough!
It's just that the enlightenment I was broken by the abbot of Tiecha Mountain has come again, and without any hindrance, I should be able to become an immortal.
At a crucial moment, the true worms appeared, and they affected my emotions!
That true worm, it should belong to... the middle corpse white?
At the critical moment, the sound of the stream interrupted the appearance of the middle corpse white, pushing my realm back.
That sound came from the stream in the place where I gained enlightenment during my last visit to the female-one patriarch, that is, that stream.
It was that enlightenment that saved me.
Otherwise, I would now be an existence like Mao Zhan.
The difference is that when Mao Zhan appeared the true worms, he had already reached the peak of immortals. His body turned into a fierce corpse, his soul became an evil ghost, and the evil qi soared to the sky, which should be between the before and after of the outward spirit, and even possibly at the stage of a ghost?
Therefore, he could have stood against Xin Bo.
When he achieved total and unselfish openness, he became a cultivator of the Outward Spirit, capable of dividing himself into three, speaking with me while dealing with the spirit of the previous Xin Bo Tangka.
I am not even a true immortal, let alone Mao Zhan. Most likely, it is the old Qin.
Even, if Old Qin turns into three worms, can I only become one?
While I was lost in thought, I didn't answer Liu Zhengqi's question immediately, and Liu Zhengqi didn't continue to ask me.
As for the true worms I wrote down, the four-regular mountains did not share this information with the ancient Qiang city.
Only after I completely regained my senses did I say, "The Three Corpses have always existed, but the difficulty of their appearance has increased under the effect of Tian Gong Spring."
This trip has also experienced a test of life and death in the ancient Qiang city.
The ancient Qiang city gave me and sil yan two symbols, which is of great significance. I reveal some enlightenment about this, which can also be considered as a kind of feedback.
"Of course!" Liu Zhengqi nodded slightly and appeared enlightened: "I've been clear that there's no such miraculous item in the world that can really eliminate the three Corpse Bite? The difficulty has increased, which means that the strength of the worms will increase as well? Shengshen Little Friend, you must have drunk from Tian Gong Spring, right?"
"Yes." I didn't hide or conceal anything.
"Then, this means that the Tian Gong Spring on the surface is said to be able to solve the Three Corpses Bite, but it should only solve weak Three Corpses Bite. When you ask about the Outward Spirit, will there be corpse worms appearing? And do you have a solution? You are still far from that realm, which means that you have encountered another kind of Three Corpses Bite that Tian Gong Spring cannot solve!" Liu Zhengqi spoke with certainty.
At this stage of cultivation, the Daoist has already mastered the art of applying similar methods, and with the words I said, it is not surprising for Liu Zhengqi to deduce these contents.
"It seems you are stuck," Liu Zhengqi said, his expression slightly complex as he furrowed his brow.
"On that day, you had some words with the third elder, and you brought it back, which was about that realm. The Liu family is not opposed to that realm, so for Tian Gong Spring, we did not hesitate to mention it. Some elders have already drunk it, including me."
"The elder who stayed in the mountains hasn't drunk it, as he planned to drink it at a critical moment when encountering the Corpse Worms. Luckily, Mr. Wu had Tian Gong Spring on hand and saved him."
"It seems that not only you are trapped, we are all trapped."
Liu Zhengqi's eyes showed more contemplation.
"We are trapped before the formation of the Outward Spirit, and you are trapped before becoming a true immortal. Tian Gong Spring reduced the trouble but thickened the barriers?"
"This is not a dead end. At least, Lei Ping Daoist has walked out of it. This means that accumulating and then releasing? The barriers can be broken at any time. As long as they are broken, the vast path will no longer have any obstacles? Once a true immortal is achieved, it will be an unparalleled true immortal; once the Outward Spirit is formed, it will be an unparalleled Outward Spirit."
