Chapter 144 Hui Yan, the location of the Yinhun Cult
Hui (Hui) Basic meanings: 1. A general term for grasses: unusual flowers and plants. 2. A flower: a strange or unusual plant. 3. A surname.
The spreading vines quickly contracted, stirring up a large amount of smoke and dust. A golden light shone through the smoke, and then a figure flew out from the smoke. He immediately came to Tian Zhen's side and asked anxiously and with great concern, "Huo Wang, are you okay?"
Tian Zhen looked up, and what came into view was an exquisite face. This lady, dressed in a red knee-length skirt and revealing black stockings, was stunningly beautiful, yet with a stern aura between her brows. She had changed a lot since they first met. Seeing her expression of concern for Huo Wang, there must be a story behind this. Huo Wang was quite capable.
There were no enemies at the scene, so Tian Zhen restored his original appearance in front of her.
The royal sister was slightly stunned, as if a little surprised, and then she seemed to remember something, and she bowed directly to Tian Zhen and said: "Little demon Huiyan, thank you for saving my life. Today I finally get to see the immortal. I am willing to serve the immortal at my best to repay you for saving my life."
Tian Zhen accepted the gift calmly, and then said, "There's no need to repay the favor. I just did it for the sake of convenience. I used you to help me deal with that sect. Don't bear it in mind."
Hui Yan shook her head and said firmly, "It's hard to refuse a favor. Although I'm a demon, I know how to be grateful. If the immortal hadn't rescued me today, I'd probably have died. I'll always remember this life-saving favor and will do my best to repay it!"
Tian Zhen was helpless and casually teleported the half-dead Huo Wang over and said, "This is my little brother. Healing his injuries for me is my repayment. Don't mention this favor again in the future."
Then he said to the bewildered Huo Wang, "You have fulfilled the original agreement. I will not bother with you about my uncle's affairs. I will talk to you later."
After saying that, Tian Zhen turned into a beam of light and disappeared from the spot, heading to the location of the Yinhun Cult described by the boss in the red Taoist robe.
Tian Zhen's universal storage device had been used to confirm the location when the demon described it. He only wanted to buy time by listening to him say so much. After confirming the location of the sect he mentioned, he would get rid of it and destroy the bridge after crossing it. He only needed to confirm that the information was true.
There were several villages near the Ghost Cult, but they were not far apart, and only one village had any humans. No, it should be said that most of the people in this village were puppets controlled by humans, with only two or three monks and a young man with an innate Taoist body.
After watching their interaction, Tian Zhen discovered that they were playing The Truman Show and role-playing here.
The person who was deceived was a young man with an innate Taoist body. He played the role of a father. He had a daughter and a wife, friendly neighbors, a mortal enemy across the street, and so on. Everything was complete.
The young man's mental state was very stable and he looked very happy. His behavior and clear yet silly eyes made him look like a college student who had not yet graduated. It was obvious that he was another alien whose soul had traveled through time and space. He was very aware of his own situation. It seemed that he had read a lot of time-travel novels.
But it seemed that those monks were planning to give him some contrasting drama. However, Tian Zhen didn't have the time to watch them continue acting. After teleporting the young man to Huo Wang, he killed several monks who were mixed in with him on the spot, and then went to the location of the Yinhun Cult.
This ghost cult is located relatively not far away, in a mountain stream. Inside the cliff, many buildings are built in cliff caves. On the steep cliff, there are also unknown black rocks carved with hideous ghost faces, as if announcing the sect's eeriness.
On the cliff, ancient trees are towering with lush branches and leaves, blocking out the sunlight and adding a bit of eerie horror.
The mountain stream gurgled a contagious red, its sound indistinguishable from the cold and nauseating air. Deep in the valley, a few lines of blurred writing were carved into the stone wall. These were the rules of the Ghost Cult.
“Nature follows the heart, the heart follows the will, the will follows the soul, and the soul follows all living things, only then can the will and thoughts be united.”
It really is a physical unity. This understanding of the doctrine is really a bit distorted.
Following the location indicated by the universal storage device, Tian Zhen arrived at a large cave. After quickly sending the guards back to the main road, he observed the surroundings. It resembled a vast prison cell, holding several individuals with dull eyes and mumbling to themselves. From the books he had retrieved from the cave, it seemed these individuals were in temporarily disabled bodies. This meant that the souls within these bodies were experiencing significant fluctuations in the other world. Either they were determined individuals in this other world, or they were cultivators undergoing a tribulation, viewing this place as an illusion to overcome their mental tribulation, or perhaps they had captured a person with a similarly innate Dao body.
In short, the worlds this innate Dao body can capture are diverse; not every world just happens to be a modern world. Souls like theirs are unwilling to come, and the innate Dao body that has already located their soul cannot replace it. They can only occupy the innate Dao body's quota, or they can carefully maintain it and wait for the soul from another world to die and disappear, and then relocate a new soul.
Yes, after Tian Zhen looked at the specific situation, he also realized that their method could not really be like farming and just waiting for the harvest. It was very dependent on luck and time.
After denying Tian Zhen's own conjecture that a cultivator like the headmaster would have a hundred or eighty refined innate magical powers, Tian Zhen couldn't help but let out a long sigh. It wasn't as difficult as he had imagined.
Tian Zhen had no good idea of what to do with these people who possessed innate Taoist bodies, so he contacted the current acting dean of Qiling Academy, Guo Wu, Elder Guo.
The former head, now the dean, has gone into seclusion, and Elder Guo has become the acting dean.
After contacting Elder Guo, he teleported several people here, ignoring the cursing messages sent by Elder Guo. Tian Zhen began to quickly clean up the problems here.
However, Tian Zhen first came to a building built into the mountain. It was built like a hall, with several beams and pillars in it. Two flames hanging on iron frames made the place look crowded and dim.
In the flickering light and shadow, a figure in a black robe and hood lying on the ground appeared. Seeing him fiddling with a few puppets on the ground, as if playing house, Tian Zhen wondered if he was really the leader of the Yinhun Cult?
"Xiao Cui! Come home for dinner." A wooden puppet called out to a smaller wooden puppet with two pigtails.
"Okay, brother!" The puppet with two pigtails shook his body and responded.
"What's delicious today?" A puppet with two pigtails came to a table and asked, shaking his body.
"Yes!" The taller puppet brought a pot-like object that was even bigger than it and opened the lid. Inside were the key parts of the wooden puppet.
"It's chicken stewed with mushrooms!"
