Chapter 43: Another Arrival
The Shrike Sword felt something was wrong. Although it had power, it could not exert its power without the master's sacrifice.

Although these paper figures are paper-cuts, they are supported by Jin Hongying's magic power and are incredibly powerful, especially the paper swords and knives, which are extremely hard and even it cannot pierce them easily!

More paper people climbed up continuously and jumped into the villa, forming a team.

At this moment, Jin Hongying was sitting by the Mirror Lake outside the villa, cutting paper with scissors in her hand.

Every time a paper figure was cut out, it would float lightly to the ground, then come to life, stand up and walk towards this side.

In just a short moment, dozens of paper figures pushed a cannon into the villa, loaded guns with gunpowder, and stuffed bombs into the barrels. Some paper figures also held paper knives and swords and rushed towards Xiao Wangsun's coffin.

Just as Shrike Sword was about to resist, all the paper figures suddenly burned at this moment and turned into ashes in an instant. Even the ashes were blown out of the villa by a gust of cold wind!

A heavy and old voice came: "Jin Hongying, Jinghu Villa is not a place where you can act recklessly, leave quickly."

The voice was extremely deep and powerful, carrying with it unimaginable magical power. It entered Jin Hongying's ears, shaking her magical power like a meteorite falling into a calm lake, causing waves to suddenly rise!

Blood was flowing from her eyes, ears, mouth and nose!
Jin Hongying coughed up blood and lay on the ground, supporting herself with her hands, barely able to get up!
She gritted her teeth and threw the scissors in her hand up. The scissors turned into two huge snakes, one blue and one white, which circled around her and protected her in the center.

The blue and white snakes protected her as they flew into the air. Just as they were halfway in the air, suddenly the heads of the two snakes fell off and hit the outside of the village with a loud bang.

The moment the two snakes' heads fell, a red dress whizzed through the air and flew away.

"Hey, your cultivation is actually quite strong. No wonder you are so arrogant and look down on old guys like us."

The voice carried residual power. Jin Hongying was in mid-air and had already escaped for more than ten miles. The voice entered her head, and her delicate body shook violently. She fell from the air and crashed into the mountains and forests, tumbling and rolling.

Her delicate skin was cut by thorns, with spots of scarlet on her white skin. She was breathing weakly and her eyes were dull.

Jin Hongying forced herself to mobilize her true energy, suppress her injuries, and left in a hurry.

In Jinghu Villa, Shrike Sword had just recovered from his shock when he saw a big black dog running towards the villa with brisk steps. When it reached the gate of the villa, it stopped and looked back.

A tall old man followed the black dog to the villa and walked in.

It was Grandpa Chen Shi who spoke just now, scaring Jin Hongying away.

As the coffins were opened layer by layer, Xiao Wangsun was revealed with blood-stained clothes and a pale face, no longer as dashing as before, but fortunately he had woken up.

"Thank you, Master Chen, for the rescue."

Xiao Wangsun bowed in thanks, his body swaying.

"Even if I don't speak up to help, other Taoist friends will stand up to help."

Grandpa walked into the villa, looked at some of the coffins with some caution, and said softly, "If they get up, it will be troublesome."

Xiao Wangsun changed the subject and said, "Last night, you were secretly following Xiao Shi and my car to protect his safety. You couldn't hide it from me."

Grandpa didn't deny it.

Xiao Wangsun glanced at him and said, "Xiao Shi has a strong will and is indestructible. If he can obtain the complete Three Lights Righteous Qi Jue, even if he does not have a divine fetus, he can still embark on an extraordinary path and his achievements will not be inferior to you and me. You should go to the True King's Tomb in person and get the complete Three Lights Righteous Qi Jue for him. Not only did you not do so, but you didn't teach him anything, which confused me. With your ability, if you teach him with all your heart, he will definitely achieve amazing results!"

Grandpa shook his head and said, "I can't teach you."

Xiao Wangsun didn't understand what he meant.

Grandpa was silent for a moment, then said, "You have seen the green ghost hand on his chest. There must be a terrifying existence behind this ghost hand."

Xiao Wangsun nodded slightly. He was an eyewitness to the rescue of Chen Shi's soul, as he was present at the scene.

In order to save Chen Shi, Chen Yindu invited many people, and he was one of them.

When Chen Shi was rescued, there was a green ghost hand on his chest. At that time, all of them tried every possible way, but they could not erase the ghost hand mark!

The existence behind this ghost handprint is extremely powerful, with feet on both the yin and yang worlds, and is about to step from the underworld into the world of the living.

They had no choice but to join forces to suppress the ghost hand print!
"Although the ghost hand brought pain to Xiao Shi, it also became a part of Xiao Shi's body. Xiao Shi stayed in the world of the living, so did his heart and the ghost hand. In other words, part of the ghost hand's owner's body also remained in the world of the living."

Grandpa's face was solemn, "If Xiao Shi practices and becomes stronger, the ghost hand will also become stronger. I realized this, so I didn't dare to teach him to practice."

Xiao Wangsun said: "But he still found the skills of the True King's Tomb and embarked on this path. Since he has embarked on this path, you should teach him carefully and let him grow up. Maybe he can deal with the ghost hand."

"I have also been observing these days, but I have made a more terrifying discovery."

Grandpa's face became more and more solemn, and he said, "Because of the green ghost hand, Xiao Shi has been sick for the past two years. I have been looking for doctors and medicines over the years, trying every possible way to suppress the ghost hand. At first, suppressing the ghost hand was very simple. As long as he took the medicine, the ghost hand would attack slightly. As he began to practice, the frequency of the ghost hand attacks became higher and higher, and more and more terrifying. At first I thought it was because the ghost hand became stronger, but several strange things happened during this period. During the last Moon Festival, nine people died at the hands of Xiao Shi in the Li family camp. I originally planned to help him clean up the scene to avoid being sought for revenge, but I found that the people who died in his hands had no souls."

Xiao Wangsun was puzzled: "What does it mean to have no soul?"

"That is to say, the souls of those who died in his hands disappeared."

Grandpa looked strange and said, "After a person dies, their soul will stay where they are, or fall into the netherworld, or be taken away by the underworld after the seventh day, or become a wandering ghost due to their obsession. Or they may be taken away by a cultivator and refined into treasures. But the souls of the nine people in the Li family camp did not stay where they were, nor were they taken away by the underworld or escaped into the netherworld, and there were no other cultivators at the scene. For a moment, I had no idea where these souls had gone!"

Xiao Wangsun's expression gradually became solemn.

He rarely admired others in his life, but Chen Yin was one of them.

Since Chen Yin couldn't even tell where the soul was going, that meant there must be something strange going on!
"Later, the Zhao family's talisman master went to the countryside to commit evil. Two people from the Zhao family died in his hands. At the moment of death, their souls disappeared. Then there was the Huangyang Village case yesterday. I have been secretly observing it. Twenty-one cultivators died at the hands of Xiao Shi." Grandpa's face became more solemn when he said this, "Similarly, I have not found the souls of these people."

Xiao Wangsun only felt a chill slowly crawling up from his tailbone, along his spine to the back of his head, causing dense small bumps on the back of his neck.

"Master Chen, what are you doubting about?" he said in a hoarse voice.

Grandpa didn't answer, and continued, "Before the battle of Huangyang Village, there was another strange thing that puzzled me. There was a man named Sanwang who died unjustly. Because he was grateful for Xiaoshi's kindness, he turned into a ghost and appeared in Xiaoshi's dream at night to warn him. After Sanwang's ghost entered Xiaoshi's dream, it never came out again."

When Grandpa said this, he stared at Chen Shi’s small coffin.

Xiao Wangsun also looked at Chen Shi's coffin as if he saw a ghost.

After a while, Grandpa continued, "When we rescued him, I was extremely happy. He is my most beloved grandson. But the green ghost hand on his chest made me realize that he is not only my grandson, but also a part of the terrifying existence in the underworld. Now that he has started to practice, the green ghost hand has gradually grown stronger and started to devour the souls of the monks who died in his hands."

Xiao Wangsun suddenly asked, "You are afraid of Xiao Shi, right?"

He stared into his grandfather's eyes with a sharp gaze and whispered, "Master Chen, you are afraid."

Grandpa actually showed a look of fear, and his body was shaking slightly.

Xiao Wangsun was stunned. He knew that Chen Yin would be afraid, but he never expected that he would tremble with fear.

I was so scared that I was trembling!
An idea flashed through his mind, and he said in a lost voice: "The reason why you have been observing Xiao Shi from a distance is not because you are worried that he will die outside, but because you are worried that he will lose control!"

Grandpa remained silent, as if admitting it in disguise.

After a while, Grandpa said, "Xiao Wangsun, you have seen disasters of the three levels of evil, demon, and devil. Have you seen disasters of the calamity level and the disaster level?"

Xiao Wangsun shook his head: "I have only heard of such disasters, but I have never seen them."

Grandpa said in a low voice: "If the ghost hand cannot suppress it, one day in the future, you will definitely see a disaster of calamity level coming through his body."

Xiao Wangsun shuddered again.

Although he had never seen a calamity-level or calamity-level disaster, he had seen a demon-level disaster, which was extremely terrifying.

Grandpa looked at him and said solemnly: "Xiao Wangsun, I am old and cannot stay in the world of the living for long, so he needs a godmother who can suppress the ghost hand."

"Don't look for me."

Xiao Wangsun understood what he meant and shook his head, "I am afraid. If I can't suppress it and a natural disaster breaks out, I will be a sinner. I don't want to be that sinner!"

Grandpa frowned slightly: "Water and Fire Refining Technique, don't you want it?"

Xiao Wangsun's body trembled slightly, then he shook his head: "Even if I die with my chivalrous spirit, I will not be ashamed of being a hero in the world. I would rather decay and be remembered after death than live in the world with a bad name. Master Chen, please go back!"

Grandpa was furious: "Coward!"

Xiao Wangsun walked into the coffin: "Whatever you say!"

Grandpa walked out of the villa angrily.

Hei Guo followed quickly. The dog felt uneasy. He had heard too many secrets today. Would the old man kill him?
Fortunately, although grandpa was angry, he did not take his anger out on it.

Grandpa stopped and stared at a leaf. On the leaf there was a helpless ant spinning around, unable to find the way out.

"I am just like this ant, not knowing what to do... I must find a strong enough godmother for Xiao Shi, otherwise I will have no choice but to kill him and go to the underworld together. Perhaps, this is also a good idea... No, I can't do this!"

He struggled internally and his face gradually became distorted.

"Xiao Shi is my grandson. My blood is flowing in his body. I can't kill him. I can't kill him... No matter what the cost, I want him to live in peace! Even if I am torn to pieces, I want him to live!"

Life does not bring it, death does not bring it.

But as long as the bloodline remains, there is eternal life.

In the Tiger Temple, Chen Shi has been practicing attentively these past few days, with no distractions, and has made progress towards the perfection of the five internal organs and the refining of bones and marrow.

Practicing in the Mountain King Temple, with the three lights of sunlight, moonlight and starlight, plus the seven refinements of the Big Dipper, tempering his bones, heart, blood, flesh, skin, energy and spirit. His body became stronger and stronger, and he was getting closer and closer to the body of the holy fetus.

On this day, he stepped on Tianshu and tempered his body with the Tianshu Star Talisman. He suddenly felt that every organ seemed to have an independent life, as if there were gods living in them. Any damage or disease to any organ would be reflected in his mind very clearly, vividly and distinctly!

Moreover, with the movement of the Big Dipper, the damage and lesions of the internal organs will heal soon!

He can be in the healthiest condition at all times!
This is the true nature of the five internal organs.

Chen Shi was surprised and delighted. His mind moved slightly and his qi and blood began to flow. He felt that his qi and blood became two or three times more vigorous. He could even let the qi and blood flow into his hair, as if his hair had come alive!
His hair is full of strange vitality.

As he took some steps, qi and blood seemed to fill his bones, his strength continued to increase, and the tempering of his true bones was also completed at this moment!

"I don't have a divine fetus, but if I cultivate the holy fetus body mentioned in the Three Lights and Righteousness Art, my physical body will be a divine fetus!"
