Chapter 99 Thirty-three years later, the fellow disciples join forces to break the evil spell! She...saw it... (Second update, 6200 words)
The current Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable felt a chill run down his spine.
It's not that he doesn't want to help.
He had already made it very clear that he would definitely help, and even told the old man not to ask the patriarch.
But he was still worried.
What if the patriarchs disagree or are unhappy about this?
My junior brother is notoriously stubborn and headstrong.
If you really do something that the founding masters dislike—
result.
Good guy!
Wow, that's amazing!
Good heavens!
Everyone agrees! Not a single person disagrees!
The incense smoke manifested as swords and spears, and the killing intent was almost tangible!
That's good now.
So you ended up being the timid, cowardly bad guy?
So, I've become the only person in this family who's ever thought about not being killed?
I've become an outsider!
At the same time, the old man who received the decree turned his head, grinned at the Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable outside the hall, and chuckled.
That smile carried a hint of slyness and warmth.
The old man wasn't truly unwilling to accept the favor of the Heavenly Crane Patrol Venerable, as he claimed.
What he's about to do is too extreme.
He's a stubborn guy, he always has been.
Even if all the patriarchs disagree, he will still kill the entire Liu family who control ghosts!
If you say kill, you must kill!
Otherwise, wouldn't Li Xiuye really be reincarnated as a pig or a dog forever?
But if this matter involves my senior brother He Xun, it would be bad if the patriarch were to take his anger out on us.
That's why he asked.
If the patriarchs don't allow it, then he'll wade into these muddy waters by himself.
And now—
The old man was overjoyed.
As expected~
The old saying is absolutely true!
People who aren't family don't enter the same door!
Soon, the old man finished tidying up the ritual implements in the hall, turned around and walked out, looking at Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable and saying, "Come, let's find a place, I'll tell you about the Ghost-Controlling Liu family!"
Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable swallowed back all his words and finally just nodded heavily.
The two old men walked together, just stepping out of the Sanqing Hall of Zhenlong Temple.
The cool moonlight outside the hall shone on the bluestone slabs, and in the silence of the New Year's Eve, only the sound of each other's footsteps could be heard.
Sudden!!
An indescribable, terrifying aura erupted from a side hall in the backyard of the True Dragon Temple!
The aura was strange yet extremely pure, carrying an ancient, noble, and even evil-like quality.
There was also a faint hint of—
Something that's hard to explain!
Its depth is so profound that even the current Heavenly Venerable Crane Xun, along with the old man, cannot perceive it in the slightest!
Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable froze, not knowing what had happened.
The old man suddenly slapped his thigh, realizing what was going on!
The curse on Gu Qingwan's forehead has been lifted!
"quick!!"
The old man roared at Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable.
"First, reassure the disciples inside the temple and prevent them from approaching the side hall!!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already become a blur, dashing off towards the backyard!
When the old man Li Xiuye and Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable were terrified by the sudden burst of terrifying aura, their minds were shaken.
Inside the side hall, the changes had reached their peak!
Lu Yuan had half a dumpling still in his mouth, chopsticks in his hand, staring blankly upwards.
It is not a soul.
That's her true form!
The entire coffin was standing upright and suspended in mid-air!
When the coffin lid was opened, Gu Qingwan was seen "standing" in the upright coffin!
On the center of her forehead, the tangled, dark curse mark, as dark as dried blood, was undergoing a silent and eerie change.
There was no dazzling light, no deafening roar.
The edges of the pattern are turning into ashes inch by inch.
It's not burning, it's not melting.
Rather, it is the most complete "annihilation".
As the curse mark faded, a purer, more primal, and even more soul-shaking pressure slowly flowed from Gu Qingwan's forehead.
It starts out as thin as a hair, but weighs as much as a thousand pounds!
Inside the side hall, there was every speck of dust in the cracks between the blue bricks on the floor, and even the yin energy from the deeper earth veins.
As if drawn by an invisible force, they spontaneously and silently rose upwards, paying homage in the direction of Gu Qingwan.
They froze and cowered three feet away from her.
It was as if they were kneeling to welcome their sole sovereign.
There was no wind inside the hall.
Her scarlet skirt and cascading long hair fluttered silently in a slow and rhythmic manner.
Outside the hall, there was an area of about 100 feet in circumference.
Every sound—the wind, the chirping of insects, the whispers from the distant Taoist temple, even the subtle sounds of plants growing and the earth's energy flowing—
At this moment, it vanished completely.
It's not quiet, it's absolute "annihilation".
This space seemed to have been forcibly ripped out of the world, forming an independent, desolate domain in which she alone existed.
The light dimmed.
Only her red dress stood out, its redness becoming increasingly dazzling and profound, swallowing up all the light and color around her.
boom! !
The palace doors were smashed open by a tremendous force!
The old man and Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable barged in!
These two top figures in the Daoist sect focused their attention on that direction.
Their extraordinary spiritual senses allowed them to "see" a sight even more terrifying than what the naked eye could perceive!
Beside Gu Qingwan, countless extremely fine dark red threads appeared and disappeared intermittently.
Those are not physical entities.
It is resentment, malevolent energy, or the manifestation of some higher-level power!
They entwined around her, protecting her like millions of subjects protecting the supreme empress.
The mere presence of these threads caused the two Celestial Masters' hearts to tremble violently, and their minds to become clouded!
She did not make any move.
But an invisible force, centered on her, suddenly spread out!
The moment this "momentum" appeared.
The old man and Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable were completely enraged.
"How could she possibly have power?!"
Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable's voice stammered with extreme shock as he looked incredulously at the equally dumbfounded old man beside him.
The old man was also stunned, his throat went dry.
"How the hell should I know?"
Despite the terrifying aura and the earth-shattering phenomena.
However, Gu Qingwan did not display any savage killing intent capable of destroying everything, nor could one find the slightest trace of uncontrolled madness.
The old man keenly sensed that deep within her vast and boundless primordial evil energy, there was a thread.
A golden thread formed from the incense offerings that Lu Yuan "stole".
It is gentle and warm, carrying wishes and protection.
It was neither devoured nor rejected by that terrifying power; instead, it held her sanity firmly with unimaginable resilience.
This line connects her with Lu Yuan and with the Zhenlong Temple, creating a faint resonance.
It was this very line that became her last remaining "wish" amidst endless terror and "evil"!
Therefore, when her abyss-like eyes looked down at the dumbfounded Lu Yuan...
A fleeting tenderness and dependence rippled across the depths of his dark, cold eyes.
Finally, the enormous coffin crashed down.
All the strange phenomena subsided, and Gu Qingwan's soul reappeared, floating beside the coffin.
On the surface, it seems no different from before.
But Lu Yuan knew that things were different now.
Previously, Gu Qingwan's eyes were completely empty, lifeless.
Now----
"That's not right!"
Lu Yuan strode over and craned his neck to look into the coffin.
"Why are Qingwan's eyes still like this?!"
Isn't this the same as before?!
This shout instantly brought the old man and Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable, who were still immersed in the terrifying pressure from before, back to their senses.
When the two old men came to their senses, they saw that Lu Yuan was already lying down next to the coffin.
Just as they were about to say something, a commotion suddenly arose outside the hall.
The strange phenomenon earlier had alerted the disciples in the temple.
The old man exchanged a glance with Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable, and then flashed out of the side hall.
The two of them used a combination of lies and deception to finally calm down the group of disciples who were filled with fear.
When they come back.
Lu Yuan was resting his chin on his hand, staring into the coffin, deep in thought.
Gu Qingwan's soul floated quietly beside him, looking down at "herself" in the coffin.
"I almost forgot, the curse on my forehead is just the first step."
Lu Yuan looked up at the two old men who had entered, his expression extremely serious.
"In Qingwan's eyes, there are even more vicious tricks."
Inside the coffin.
Her eye sockets were two smooth, charred holes with edges so clean they were chilling.
The eyeballs were precisely "scooped" away with some kind of scalding hot copper spoon.
Before the execution, drips of aged lamp oil (more than three years old) into the eyes are applied.
They euphemistically called it "borrowing the last glimpse of the human world from the fire of life."
Its true purpose is to burn away the last moisture from the eyeballs, preventing any "visual memory" from manifesting in the underworld.
The charred holes were filled with a dark red, mud-like substance.
Suppress your eyes!
It is made by mixing the blood from the middle fingers of three generations of male members of the husband's family, the incense ash from the ancestral hall, and the blood powder from the rooster's comb.
On the surface of the clay seal, a pair of tiny, inverted yin-yang fish are painted with gold paint.
Yang is below, Yin is above.
The implication is that she will forever be in a position of being looked down upon and controlled by her husband.
If we want Gu Qingwan to truly "see" it, we must dig out this eye-suppressing mud!
Inside the side hall, the lingering terrifying pressure in the air had not completely dissipated, but Gu Qingwan's aura had returned to its restrained state.
But those empty, charred eye sockets, like two cold marks, revealed a deeper, more vicious scheme.
The old man stood side by side with the Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable before the coffin, their expressions more solemn than ever before.
With their level of skill, they saw through the insidious tricks of this "Eye-Suppressing Mud" at a glance.
"The blood of the middle finger of three generations of male members of her husband's family severs all blood ties, cutting off her ability to see her relatives."
"The incense ash from the ancestral hall, with the clan's wishes as a shackle, suppresses her attachment to the clan."
"The rooster's comb blood powder, using the most potent Yang energy, destroys the Yin meridians around the eyes, forever severing the foundation of her ability to see herself and others."
The old man's voice was deep and cold, every word carrying a chill.
"Finally, she will be sealed with an inverted yin-yang talisman, reversing all moral order, so that she will be forever trampled underfoot by her husband's family, never seeing the light of day, and unable to distinguish between kin and enemies!"
The Heavenly Venerable Crane Patrol, his face cold as he stared at everything inside the coffin, couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Fuck him!!"
"What a vicious mind, what despicable methods!"
"Such evil magic has truly trampled the last shred of human dignity."
Lu Yuan, who was standing to the side, could hardly bear to watch any longer. He looked up anxiously at the old man and Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable and asked, "Can it be broken?"
The old man and Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable exchanged a glance. The former nodded slowly, while the latter's eyes blazed with fighting spirit.
"able!"
The old man said firmly, "But we must be extremely careful, because the eye-suppressing mud has become connected with the flesh and bones around her eyes, and even part of her soul, due to the evil magic."
"Using brute force to remove it will at best damage the very foundation of her soul, and at worst it may trigger a backlash from the restrictions, plunging her into chaos or madness."
At this moment, the Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable nodded in agreement with the old man's statement, adding, "We must use the three methods of 'overcoming strength with gentleness,' 'destroying evil with righteousness,' and 'resolving resentment with emotion' simultaneously."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the old man, his tone becoming somewhat distant.
"Junior brother, it's been over thirty years since we, fellow disciples, have joined forces—"
The old man looked down at the coffin, his voice utterly serious.
"Thirty-three years."
"After that year at Tianmu Mountain, we went our separate ways—"
Upon hearing this, Celestial Crane Patrol waved his hand and said, "Alright, there's no need to dwell on the past. Today, we brothers will join forces once again to break this evil spell!!"
"I will handle external matters, using thunder magic to stabilize his soul and calm his restlessness!"
"You, the master of the household, will use the methods of 'golden needle acupuncture' and 'incense to ward off evil,' carefully peeling away the venom."
The old man immediately agreed: "That's exactly what we need!"
Without further ado, the two immediately began preparations.
This time, even Lu Yuan was ordered to retreat to a corner of the hall, absolutely forbidden to approach, lest he be disturbed by even the slightest disturbance.
The first step is to set up an altar to invite the saints and stabilize the soul and spirit.
The old man took a specially made "soul-soothing yellow silk" and laid it on the ground in front of the coffin.
Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable then carefully took out a purple jade thunder pattern token from his bosom.
The most treasured heirloom of Tianlong Temple, the "Purple Mansion Thunder Token"!
This command is not a weapon for attack, but it is most adept at calming the mind and soul and deterring external evils.
Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable, with his feet planted on the Big Dipper's Soul-Stabilizing Dipper, holding a Thunder Token, and reciting the Soul-Soothing Chapter of the "Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Cavernous Mystery and Spiritual Treasure Speaks of the Wondrous Scripture of Salvation from Suffering," stands tall.
"Silent and utterly still, standing for countless eons—"
Amidst the chanting of scriptures, he gently suspended the thunder talisman three feet above Gu Qingwan's coffin.
The token spun on its own without wind, scattering streaks of warm, pale purple lightning.
The lightning was righteous and peaceful, without the slightest violence, yet it contained the majestic majesty of the Heavenly Dao.
It transformed into a curtain of light, enveloping both Gu Qingwan's soul and her physical body in the coffin.
""
Gu Qingwan's soul, which had been slightly fluctuating due to the awakening of power, was instantly calmed down, and a solid barrier separated the inside from the outside.
The second step is to use acupuncture to locate the acupoints and explore the root of the problem.
The old man washed his hands, burned incense, and took out a set of "Golden Needles for Crossing Tribulations" treasured in a box made of jujube wood struck by lightning.
The needles are as fine as cow hair, and vary in length.
He silently channeled his profound inner energy, his eyes gleaming with divine light, and picked up the shortest and thinnest golden needle with his right hand.
With his left hand, he pinched the "Dragon Seeking and Cave Exploring Finger" and his spiritual senses transformed into invisible tentacles, probing inch by inch toward the edge of the eye-suppressing mud in Gu Qingwan's left eye socket.
The golden needle did not pierce the mud, but hovered a fraction of a millimeter above the surface.
The needle tip trembled slightly, emitting a very faint buzzing sound.
The old man closed his eyes, using the needle as a medium to sense every connection point between the evil power and his true form.
A moment later, his forehead was covered in a fine sweat, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
"Blood and evil energy entangle the Sizhukong and Tongziliao acupoints above the eye socket."
"The incense ash entered deep into the eyes, where tears were received."
"The rooster's comb blood-red evil spirit resides in the center, and is most deeply connected to the inverted yin-yang symbol!"
This job requires extreme focus and precise control; the slightest mistake will trigger restrictions.
It's really exhausting!
The third step is to use incense to ward off evil spirits and to use warmth and affection as a guide.
The old man gave Lu Yuan, who was in the corner, a wink.
Lu Yuan immediately understood and lit three specially made "resurrection incense sticks" on the small altar next to him.
This incense is made from agarwood, resurrection grass root, cinnabar, and the ash from the Zhenlong Temple, which Gu Qingwan is most familiar with.
The bluish-gold smoke drifted towards Gu Qingwan.
There is no magic in this smoke, only the purest concern and the idea of "home".
Its fine threads seeped into the cold, hardened clay, attempting to soften the evil power within, which was centered on "hatred" and "control."
The fourth step is to use both methods simultaneously to break through and reverse Yin and Yang!
Everything is ready; the most crucial moment has arrived.
"Now!"
The old man's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
At the same time, Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable activated the "Purple Mansion Thunder Command", and the purple light that filled the sky suddenly converged!
The light transformed into two thin, yet incredibly condensed lightning lines, which precisely "pinned" into the fish-eye positions of Gu Qingwan's eyes, where the inverted yin-yang fish talisman was located!
The yin eye of the yang fish, the yang eye of the yin fish!
Lightning is supremely yang and righteous, specifically designed to destroy the fundamental structure of evil talismans, causing their operation to freeze instantly!
Almost at the same instant, the old man's hands moved like butterflies flitting among flowers, striking with both hands!
Each person holds a medium-sized gold needle, with the tip dipped in the prepared "Three Lights Dispelling Evil Water"!
This water is made by collecting morning dew under the sunlight, moonlight, and starlight, and then mixing it with the tears of a newborn baby who has not yet touched the earth!
He used the "Phoenix Nodding" technique to pierce the left and right eye sockets with lightning speed!
The landing point was precisely at the core intersection of the "blood evil" and "incense ash" that he had previously discovered!
puff!puff!
Two soft, muffled thuds were not the sound of physical objects breaking, but rather the sound of the evil force structure being disintegrated.
"Bloodlust, disperse!"
The old man gave a low shout, and his left hand, holding a golden needle, trembled slightly as he guided the water used to dispel evil spirits.
The dark red bloodstains on the middle finger melted and faded quickly, like snow meeting boiling water.
"Incense ash, get out!"
With his right hand, he drew an arc with a golden needle, using a gentle pulling force to gradually "pull" the deeply embedded incense ash from its original body.
It turned into specks of dim ashes and scattered away.
The most crucial elements, the Rooster Comb Blood Yang Sha and the Inverted Yin Yang Fish Talisman, were pinned to their vital points by the Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable's lightning lines and lost their external support, causing them to struggle violently!
It emitted a hissing sound of resistance and even conjured a blurry, resentful male phantom, but it was firmly suppressed by the purple lightning.
"Lu Yuan!!"
The old man's stern shout, like a thunderclap, exploded in the tense air, each word carrying an undeniable urgency.
Lu Yuan's heart suddenly tightened!
The body's instincts have surpassed thought.
He suddenly bit the tip of his tongue!
A sharp, stinging pain and a metallic, sweet taste exploded in my mouth!
He spat out that mouthful of pure yang blood, brimming with life essence, onto the blank yellow talisman that he had been clenching in his palm until it was burning hot!
laugh-!
The sound of blood soaking into the talisman paper was so clear in the deathly silent side hall that it was painful to the eardrums.
The yellow talisman was instantly stained red, and the bloodstains did not spread evenly, but spontaneously outlined a complex and blazing Heart Fire Protecting Spirit Pattern!
Lu Yuan's eyes were bloodshot.
He pressed the scalding hot blood talisman, which carried all his protective will and life force, firmly against Gu Qingwan's brow with a "smack"!
Right in the center of the forehead!
Lingtai Portal!
This is not an attack!
This is a declaration!
It was a final declaration of war against the evil magic that, in her eyes, represented "patriarchal oppression" and endless malice!
Fuck you!!
Get out!
just now!
immediately!
immediately!
Her family is here!
Her sunrise is here!
Her new life —
Right here!!!
hum! ! !
The moment the blood talisman was applied to her brow, Gu Qingwan's physical body and the soul beside her simultaneously emitted a deep resonance like an ancient bell!
That primordial power, which had been dormant like ancient ice for millennia, vast and awe-inspiring, was completely ignited by this drop of scalding "family blood"!
A wisp of pure, indescribable Yin energy, yet carrying a hint of "warmth," surged forth from the depths of her soul!
This power is no longer the deathly coldness, but the thawing undercurrent of a glacier!
With the determination to wash away all filth, it actively and precisely cooperated with the old man's golden needle that probed into the smallest details!
Combined with the Purple Mansion Thunder Light of Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable that suppresses all directions!
From the very core of the evil magic, a powerful shock emanated from the inside out!
boom-!!!
It wasn't a real loud noise.
Instead, a tremendous collision erupted at the spiritual level!
Within the mud, the inverted yin-yang symbol struggled violently, and the blurry male phantom it conjured emitted a silent yet venomous shriek!
The Rooster's Comb Blood Yang Demon, resembling a mad snake, launched a frenzied counterattack!
The two forces, one internal and one external, one yin and one yang, one hard and one soft, one emotion and one law, reached the most intense confrontation at this moment!
The air inside the side hall was as thick as mercury, and time seemed to stretch out endlessly by an invisible force.
The old man's arms were as steady as a rock, but the tips of his fingers, which were gripping the gold needles, had turned slightly white from excessive force.
The veins on his forehead bulged, and large drops of sweat slid down his cheeks and fell to the ground silently.
Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable's face was solemn as iron, and his right hand, which was maintaining the Thunder Token, trembled slightly. The purple lightning flashed on and off, clearly indicating that it was being greatly depleted in the tug-of-war with the core of the evil technique.
Lu Yuan couldn't offer any technical assistance.
He could only stare intently at Gu Qingwan's trembling soul and her physical body in the coffin.
Every breath felt like a year.
Stalemate.
torment.
Silent screams and struggles are playing out wildly on the spiritual level.
I don't know how much time passed, perhaps it was just a fleeting moment.
Just as the old man felt the golden needle was about to be shaken off by the evil force, and the lightning of the Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable began to ripple unsteadily—
Lu Yuan suddenly looked up and gazed out the window.
A faint, yet incredibly pure, wisp of pale light quietly climbed onto the eastern horizon.
sky----
It's about to light up.
Then, a second ray, a third ray—the faint light pierced through the deepest darkness before dawn, tearing through the night and slowly illuminating the window paper.
Just as the first rays of golden dawn, carrying the warmth of new life, pierced through the windowpane and shone precisely on the position of Gu Qingwan's eyes.
"Senior brother!!!"
"Junior brother!!!"
"Now!!!"
As if they were of one mind, the old man and Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable simultaneously let out a suppressed roar!
They poured in all the last remaining truth, without reservation, along with the nascent energy of the rising sun at the beginning of the world!
Lu Yuan's blood talisman glowed brightly red, almost burning!
Snap! Snap!
A sound, clearer than shattering glass and more awe-inspiring than thawing ice, exploded deep within everyone's souls!
The inverted yin-yang talisman that had suppressed her for countless years could no longer withstand the triple impact from the dawn, kinship, and supreme Dao!
It collapsed with a bang!
It transformed into countless tiny golden specks of light, like winter snow melting under the blazing sun, unwillingly but irrevocably dissipating into the air.
The vicious rooster-comb blood yang evil at its core also let out a faint mournful cry, completely disintegrating and vanishing into nothingness.
The next moment, Lu Yuan immediately turned his head to look at Gu Qingwan's soul behind him!
Before their eyes, which had been empty, lifeless, and unfocused, Gu Qingwan's pupils were gradually regaining their clarity and vitality!
Finally, a flash of light appeared.
Gu Qingwan blinked her beautiful, cool eyes, which brightened and began to focus.
Finally, those beautiful eyes focused on Lu Yuan!
It's done!!!
Gu Qingwan's magical eye technique has been broken!
She saw it!!!
