Chapter 365: The Secret Art of Eating Clouds
"Brother, he..."
"What on earth caused his death?"
Chen Yousanren's cloudy old eyes were red and his voice was trembling.
Li Yuan sighed and told everyone everything he knew.
Speaking of that ghost devouring immortal souls, it has become a big deal.
The old Taoist priest fought with them, but was eventually eroded by them. In desperation, he used the secret technique of beheading the three corpses to create three coffins in order to delay time.
When Chen Yousanren heard this, even his fingertips were trembling.
But he was cautious and somewhat unwilling to believe it: "Can you let me see the image in my memory?"
Li Yuan sighed, and without hesitation, he performed the Marry Dream Secret Technique on himself, and combined it with other secret techniques to retrieve the memory scenes of that year.
He pointed at a point and transferred the memory image into Chen Yousanren's mind.
Chen Yousanren slowly closed his eyes and began to carefully look at the scenes in Li Yuan's memory.
Li Yuan passed on all his memories about the ancient town.
From entering the ancient town, to going to the Demon-Suppressing Pass to find the Fushang Sword, and then returning from searching for the sword, he discovered that the three coffins had been moved away by the changing of the times.
Chen Yousanren closed his eyes and sensed it. The more he looked, the more frightened he became, and the more he trembled.
"I inherited the Xuanmen's secret technique of beheading the three corpses, which is a cruel spell that separates the body, bones, and soul..."
"Being eaten alive in that coffin, how painful was it for Senior Brother?"
Chen Yousanren slowly opened his eyes, his face full of sadness, regret and unwillingness.
When differences in ideas led to the separation of fellow disciples, didn't he sigh about it?
I had thought that my senior brother was such a gifted man with extraordinary means, and that he had almost no rivals in the world.
Even if you don't want to become an immortal, you still have hundreds of years of life in this mortal world.
Who would have thought that when we heard each other again in the world, we were already separated by the Yin and Yang!
Chen Yousanren stood up, his body swaying and a little unstable.
"If I had known that my senior brother would suffer such a disaster, why would I have asked for this immortal fate?"
"My senior brother died tragically, but as his junior brother, I didn't even know anything about it... If he's dead, what's the point of immortality?!"
Although Chen Yousanren became an immortal and sought immortality, his world seemed to collapse in an instant and he became very excited.
The master's sect disappeared from the world, and the master passed away due to old age; only the old Taoist priest was his last relative.
His ambition was to become an immortal, not to enjoy a carefree life.
I just want to leave a way out for my senior brother who doesn't want to live forever!
Chen Yousanren stroked the blood-stained yellow wooden gourd, feeling a little sad for a moment.
He slowly took out a golden pill from his sleeve.
The elixir is covered with shining golden patterns, carrying with it an infinite vitality and spirit.
"Since my senior brother doesn't want to live forever, I will devote myself to becoming an immortal so that I can obtain this immortal elixir."
"I was thinking that when I meet him again in the mortal world, I will laugh at his old age and give him this elixir. I will consider it a victory."
"Who would have known..."
Chen Yousanren held the golden pill in his hand, his expression somewhat melancholy and sad.
Li Yuan also sighed a few times, feeling helpless.
The world is unpredictable, and a turn away from this world may be a farewell forever.
"Mountain God Anshan, do you have any clues about that mysterious power?"
Chen Yousan was sad for a moment, but when he looked up, he was filled with anger.
During that time, he was in seclusion and was at the critical moment of becoming an immortal.
If that mysterious powerful person had not moved the three coffins away, with the power of the Fushang Sword in Li Yuan's hand at that time, even without the assistance of the purple jade gourd, it would have been very likely that he would have been able to slay the ghosts and rescue the old Taoist priest!
Now that the strange creature has appeared, it means that the old Taoist priest is dead.
The person who moves the coffin is equivalent to the person who killed the old Taoist priest!
This vengeance will be remembered by Chengxuanmen and Hechenyousanren!
If you don't report it, your heart will be contaminated by demons and your attempt to become an immortal will be in vain!
Li Yuan passed that breath to Chen Yousanren.
"Killing Gui twice can be considered as some damage."
"Only the owner of this breath will never be able to hear it."
Chen Yousanren took a deep breath and memorized this breath deeply.
Then, he was lost in thought for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking about.
The falling bamboo leaves seem like an old friend looking back; the gentle breeze seems like the farewell of an old acquaintance.
It took Chen Yousanren a long time to calm down.
"you......"
He wanted to say something but stopped himself, and then spoke again.
"I will not ask about the recruitment, and you should not come to me for help."
Li Yuan also calmed down and couldn't help but wonder: "What does this mean?"
Chen Yousanren showed a bit of irony on his face:
"Unless you want to be someone else's slave or puppet like me."
As he spoke, he pulled up his sleeves.
I saw a red bell pattern on his wrist, which was complicated and obscure, and carried a heart-pounding aura.
"Most people who practice Taoism want to achieve enlightenment and become immortals."
"But who knows, the complexity of heaven is a hundred times more complicated than that of the human world. Those without background, even if they become immortals, will hardly be able to obtain the position of a true god."
"If you don't have a good enough chance and strength, you can either become a Miao Miao Tian soldier and start from scratch."
"Or you can do what I did, seek refuge with some powerful people, get their protection and resources, and do some odd jobs."
"The longevity elixir I prepared for you was obtained from that powerful being by my sincere devotion."
"But, I no longer have freedom, and everything is restricted by others."
Chen Yousanren slowly put down his sleeves, looking a little gloomy.
"You are a legitimate god with a good name and status, and you have a good karma with my senior brother. I don't want to drag you into the water."
"I will have my own excuses when I return, so don't worry."
Li Yuan had no intention of really joining anyone, he just spread the word to get some benefits.
Seeing Chen Yousanren's kind reminder, he also accepted the kindness:
"If you want to be a slave, you might as well be my mountain god. At least you have a bright identity."
"Thank you for telling me the inside story, I will be careful."
He also understood that Chen Yousanren, like the immortal in Taoist robes, was a "puppet immortal" who was controlled.
Without the title of a true god, he is not bound by any duties.
Although there are heavenly rules, if something happens, it generally does not attract the attention of the higher-ups.
Chen Yousanren nodded and sighed silently.
Both of them drank tea calmly, each with complicated thoughts, but no ill intentions.
"You have done your best to save my brother."
"I am a poor Taoist wandering around, and I am here to represent the Taoist sect. I am grateful for the friendship of the Anshan Mountain God."
After a long time, Chen Yousanren returned the yellow wooden gourd to Li Yuan.
Another finger pointed out, and a mysterious magic was injected into Li Yuan's brow.
"This is my senior brother's unique secret cultivation technique, called the Canxia Treasure Technique."
"Absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, eating the rays of morning and evening, cultivating pure energy, and nourishing a righteous heart is a peerless technique for refining the mind and nourishing the body."
"This treasure technique is extraordinary. If practiced for a long time, it can transform a person completely."
"Since my fellow apprentice has passed away, I will give this to the Anshan Mountain God. I hope this peerless treasure will not be lost to future generations."
Chen Yousanren passed the Canxia magic to Li Yuan, and then walked down the mountain mutteringly and in a daze.
A mysterious and unique magic technique appeared in Li Yuan's mind, but he was not in the mood to take a closer look at it at the moment.
He also sighed slightly and personally accompanied him to see him off.
Halfway through the journey, Chen Yousanren suddenly hesitated, unable to let go of a certain thought.
"Can the God of Anshan withstand the thunder?"
There was some shame on his old face, but also some seriousness.
Li Yuan frowned slightly, a little puzzled: "Master, what is this?"
Chen You Sanren's face flushed a little: "Knowing that Senior Brother died tragically and his soul was eaten, I feel so sad and uncomfortable."
"It just so happens that I have cultivated the art of deduction, and I want to calculate for you whether there is a trace of your true spirit that has escaped and entered the cycle of reincarnation."
"But I only practice Taoism and don't often train my body. I can't withstand the power of a few thunderbolts..."
When Li Yuan heard this, he patted his chest and said:
"I see...how difficult is that?"
It's just a few bolts of lightning. Wasn't that enough for him when he was seeking death?
Not afraid at all!
