"The little man didn't run away." Jiang Kuang's spirit opened the conversational box.
"He indeed didn't run away."
As for why he was not swallowed by Wuling, the reason is very simple.
He is too weak and lacks talent; it would be a waste of effort to eat him.
And Wuling kept him, for another reason, initially wanting to use him to make me suffer a bit, but later found that the Ghost Tablet developed under some of my influences and became a force to be reckoned with.
Wuling then decided that when the day comes to get rid of me, he will take everything I have into his possession. Although the strength of the Ghost Tablet is not strong overall, it is widespread, with spies and informants in all directions, and its function is greater than its strength.
For this very reason, Wuling also fed him a considerable number of souls, elevating him to the level of a Green Ghost.
He had tried to escape a few times, but Wuling had always caught him back. These repeated attempts had angered Wuling, who used a wooden talisman, then wrapped another Thunderstroke Wood talisman around it, making it impossible for him to escape again.
At this point, a glimmer of relief could be seen in Jiang Kuang's eyes.
"The little man didn't know many things at first, only that a great thunder had struck, even opening the Thunderstroke Wood seal on me. But then I found out, my goodness, there were so many Taoists everywhere, the weakest were in green robes, and there were so many true elders present. Even with Master beside you, I dared not come out."
"After returning to the SiGuShan, Master left again, and there was still a group of Taoists around. I still didn't dare to show my face, fearing that I would be killed if they mistook me for Wuling's lingering spirit. However, it was by accident that this Deer sister discovered me, with Old Gongye beside her."
After Jiang Kuang's spirit finished speaking, the joy of surviving the ordeal in his eyes grew even more intense.
Old Gongye hummed twice and said, "Thank goodness it was Deer Sister. If it were that guy, Han Laodao, you would have been reduced to ashes."
"Han..."
"Han Cuaozi Elder, is it not already..." Jiang Kuang's spirit was somewhat confused.
"Has the life soul been returned to Jiang Kuang?" I had finished digesting all the information and looked at Old Gongye again.
The spirit of Jiang Kuang appears so weak that it doesn't seem like his life soul has been recovered.
Old Gongye's eyeballs twinkled as he chuckled, then he vomited out a substantial and profound, no, dozens of times more, spirit soul appearing beside Jiang Kuang's spirit.
This life soul has consumed too many souls, and its qi is too dense and powerful.
After that, Old Gongye looked on with a mixture of pain and reluctance.
"This silly and dull little Jiang Kuang has been with me for so long, eating so many scraps from my teeth, and he has become as dear to me as my own child."
Jiang Kuang's spirit, however, inhaled deeply out of surprise.
The life soul is a part of the spirit soul, and it was directly absorbed back into Jiang Kuang's spirit soul!
In that moment, Jiang Kuang's weakness disappeared, and his spirit soul became solid and tangible, with the flowing green ghost Qi becoming extremely thick.
"This..." Jiang Kuang was dumbfounded.
He looked down, staring blankly at his own spirit body.
"I... so strong... how many ghosts did I eat?"
Old Gongye hummed again and said, "How can Old Gongye spare his little brother?"
"You'll still follow Old Gongye. When we leave the SiGuShan, we'll have the nearest Ghost Nook organization pick you up. The Ghost Nook has changed dramatically, and both the principal and deputy leaders have encountered problems. We're in need of someone to lead." I told Jiang Kuang.
"I know, Wuling will tell me. He has been teaching me details, preparing for the future..." Jiang Kuang didn't finish his sentence, but it seemed a bit unhappy.
"That's great, this little Wu is the perfect choice for a groom." Old Gongye said.
Jiang Kuang took a slight breath of relief.
A small knot appeared in my heart unconsciously.
"Right... right..." Jiang Kuang followed up, glancing at the Wuling corpse on the ground, and said softly, "This man has consumed too many human lives. Tian Shou Dao Ren stole his life, and he struck harder than Tian Shou Dao Ren. He knows yin-yang arts and targets those who live long. His blood flesh is indestructible by lightning. If a practicing witch eats it, or a wild spirit monster digs it up to eat, it will cause great trouble. Keeping it here under guard is much better than burning it out. Otherwise..."
Jiang Kuang knows more about Wuling, after all, he has been following him for a while now, and Wuling had also wanted to cultivate him.
Deer Sister also has a unique perspective on problem-solving, otherwise, this corpse might have been mistakenly sent to the JianFeng Ling.
We didn't stay in that stone chamber anymore. After we went out, we first talked to the punishment disciple in charge of guarding the Guixi Dian, instructing them that from now on, this cave where Wuling's corpse was stored could not be entered by anyone. Then we had them inform the elders of this decision.
Afterward, Deer Sister wanted to return to the Miao Xuan Pavilion.
Old Gongye wanted to follow her.
Deer Sister turned back to give him a glare, and Old Gongye stopped beside me with a sulky expression.
As for Jiang Kuang, he followed behind me, always showing utmost respect and reverence.
I had nothing to say, so I quietly walked back.
Old Gongye initially remained silent, and then his mouth couldn't stop talking, humming tunes.
The night grew darker, and the full moon became colder.
When I returned to the outer area of the Liugong Palace, Jiang Kuang said he was afraid to go in, showing great apprehension.
Old Gongye made a quick gesture and drew Jiang Kuang's spirit back.
"Road is too smooth, no stone to grind, Jiang Kuang dare not walk." Old Gongye's tone was fluctuating.
"I'll tell you something, and you see how you analyze it?" I then told Old Gongye about the affairs between the Huo family and the Ngamong Rampa.
"That's not simple? Master, you didn't have so many concerns before. Now that your strength has improved, you are being too restrained and following too many rules. If it comes down to a fight, how about attacking their territory?"
"All the major monasteries have living Buddhas, right? And there are also Black City Monasteries, which are being watched by their own Xinbo people. Who would be so foolish to directly disable a living Buddha without fearing that they might really die? They will reincarnate, what do you call that, killing the Buddha and respecting the monk?"
Old Gongye's attitude is direct and more forceful.
Wu Jinluan is not as straightforward as he is. He also wants to be strong and does not hesitate to confront each Daoist sect and the Tibetan lands.
But indeed...
If one directly disables a living Buddha?
Living Buddha is not like Daoism, the latter dies and gone, can only be reborn, the living Buddha itself in a generation of incarnations.
If we unleash a thunderous deadly move and have the master possess us, there's definitely a chance!
Maybe, this can also directly intimidate Ngamong Rampa, making him surrender the Huo family!
He dares to continue his attacks because he believes that his strength is high and he has a firm grip on you?
"In my opinion, we can do two things on one trip. First, we should start with Ngamong Rampa and rescue the person. After that, Ngamong Rampa has been hopping around everywhere. Now that he is young and full of strength, let him lead us to check out the eight houses." Old Gong said in an imposing manner.
It started well, but as he went on, it became more and more unrealistic.
It's a very difficult task to handle the Huo family without any casualties.
After all, what Old Gong said was all in an ideal state.
The unrealistic state is that even if the master possesses us, we cannot deal with the living deathless.
And I still have a bit of unease in my heart.
Because Miao You San has also said that I would fall into a near-death state, and he didn't calculate any survival.
