"Fellow Daoist." The moment Yun Heng entered, he bowed towards Yi Qing. He looked excited. "Please forgive me for my intrusion, Fellow Daoist."
Yi Qing glanced at him. He had guessed that he would find his way here, but he did not expect it to be so soon. It seemed like his position among the Mystic cultivators was indeed extraordinary. "Don't stand on ceremony, Master Yun Tian. Please take a seat." He gestured for him to come in and sit down. Coincidentally, he had something to confirm with him.
"Fellow Daoist, you can just call me Yun Heng." He became even more polite and respectful. "How should I address you, Fellow Daoist?"
"Yi Qing," Yi Qing answered and turned to look behind him. "My master, Shen Ying."
Yun Heng seemed to have just noticed Shen Ying behind him. He paused for a moment, then immediately bowed. Thinking of the purpose of this trip, he did not think too much about it. He continued to stare at Yi Qing and said, "Fellow Daoist Yi, I came here this time because I have something important to confirm with you. Fellow Daoist Yi, please tell me the truth. "
His expression became even more nervous, as if what he was going to say next was extremely important to him. His hands subconsciously clenched at his sides.
Yi Qing glanced at him and nodded. "Fellow Daoist, please ask away."
He took a deep breath, sat up straight, and said, "What do you mean by remnant souls?"
"Humans are divided into three spiritual and seven physical souls, called the soul. When the body dies, the soul emerges as a ghost. A remnant soul is also a fragment of a soul. Because it is incomplete, it is not enough to form a soul or a spirit, so it is called a remnant soul. "
"Then what do you mean by sending me into the River of Forgetfulness?" He asked anxiously.
"The River of Forgetfulness is the place where all souls in the world are born and end. It flows through every corner of the Three Realms and Six Paths, and it draws the souls of all living beings into the Netherworld. Only through the River of Forgetfulness can one be reborn and reincarnated!"
Yun Heng's face paled, as if he had suffered a huge blow. His body swayed, and his entire body leaned forward as if he was about to fall. However, he used his hands to support himself on the table and tried his best to sit up straight. Many complicated emotions flashed across her eyes. After a while, she looked at Yi Qing with an even more anxious expression. "Then the Dharma spell that Fellow Daoist used just now was …"
"Formation, Rebirth Formation."
"Rebirth … Formation." He muttered these words and looked him up and down. "Please forgive me for being presumptuous, but fellow Daoist is using the profound technique."
"No."
"Then …"
"Sorcery, Immortal Cultivation sorcery."
"Immortal Cultivation!" He was shocked. "That's you …"
"A cultivator."
Yun Heng was stunned. He was completely stunned. Although he did not know what a cultivator was, he understood that it was completely different from Mystic cultivators. His expression changed a few times, and after a while, he seemed to understand something. "So … it's like this! There's actually such a spell in this world. It turns out that we've been using the wrong method all this time. No wonder … no wonder … "He sighed and shook his head. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether he was crying or laughing.
Yi Qing frowned and looked at him before saying, "Fellow Daoist Yun, can you answer some of my questions as well?"
Yun Heng turned around. "Fellow Daoist, please speak."
"Have you Mystic cultivators always destroyed the souls of deviant ghosts?"
Yun Heng froze for a moment. He suddenly felt a little ashamed. A moment later, he smiled bitterly and said, "I know what Fellow Daoist wants to say. But in this world, other than expelling them, there is no other way to deal with ghosts. "
"…"
No other way?!
Yi Qing was shocked. Expelling the dead and reincarnating – weren't these the most basic spells?
He sighed, as if thinking of something. After a while, he continued, "Fellow Daoist, you might not know this, but a few hundred years ago, deviant … remnant souls suddenly appeared in this world. It led to great suffering. At that time, no one knew how to deal with these remnant souls. As a result, tens of thousands of civilians in several cities in the north were eaten to death. After that, Patriarch Pu Xuan spent tens of years before creating that 'expelling array' to stop those deviant ghosts from wreaking havoc in the world. After that, he even died because of this array. From then on, the Mystic cultivators united and built the Mystic Sect. "
His expression became even more solemn. He took a deep breath before continuing, "The Mystic Sect made this array public, and its mission was to expel deviant ghosts and protect the world. By expelling all the deviant ghosts to the north, they were able to protect a piece of pure land. So the Mystic cultivators in the world only knew this one method. "
"…" Are you all retarded? There's clearly something wrong with this method!
"But after many years, the number of deviant ghosts did not decrease. And the number grew bigger and bigger every time. Now it seems … our understanding of it from the beginning was wrong. These deviant ghosts … no, these remnant souls, do not need to be expelled, but to be reborn. "
"…" Nonsense.
He turned to look at Yi Qing, cupped his fists and pleaded seriously, "Fellow Daoist Yi, I beg you, can you teach the Art of Rebirth to all the Mystic cultivators in the world? Help the world to completely solve this crisis, and help those remnant souls to enter Samsara again. "
Yi Qing rubbed his forehead. Although he had some guesses before, he did not expect this to be the reason.
It turned out that the reason why they showed no mercy to those remnant souls was not because they were cruel, but because they did not know that those were also a part of the soul. What was even more ridiculous was that they claimed to be Mystic cultivators who specialized in dealing with ghosts, but actually did not know any way to be reborn, and could only kill them directly.
He immediately thought of that Soul-Exterminating Array. Yun Heng had merit on him. That array could indeed exterminate and devour souls. But looking at the cultivation of the others, even if they joined forces, they would probably only be able to unleash one-tenth of the power of that array. At most, they would be able to disperse those remnant souls. But the remnant souls still did not enter the River of Forgetfulness. Because of grievous energy, they would still reunite.
Presumably, this was also the reason why the number of 'deviant ghosts' in this small world had been increasing for so many years.
So all this was because their cultivation techniques were incomplete, or even seriously lacking. Logically speaking, the different small worlds' Spirit Qi levels were different, but in the end, they would all be on the path of immortal cultivation and ascension. But this world seemed to have missed something halfway, and it was getting more and more crooked.
"I can teach you," Yi Qing said in a low voice. "Not only the Rebirth Array, but also various methods of rebirth for ghosts."
Yun Heng's expression was one of joy and excitement.
"But …" Yi Qing added, "you have to ask all the Mystic cultivators to stop using that Soul-Exterminating Array immediately."
"Of course!" He hurriedly nodded. Ever since he knew that those deviant ghosts were also souls, he did not intend to let them use it anymore.
"Also, can you let me see how your so-called Mystic techniques work?"
"Alright, this is a huge matter to save the world. I think everyone will agree."
"Mm."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yi. I will inform Sect Master Ying to recall all the Mystic Sect disciples."
"Mm."
"Also, all the Mystic cultivator clans will all rush over within three days and spread the news to all the Mystic cultivators in the world."
"Go."
"Fellow Daoist Yi Qing …"
"Mm?"
"I have one last question."
"Speak."
"May I ask …" He suddenly pointed above his head, and then turned back to look at the person behind him. "Since I entered the door, why has this lady behind me been holding a piece of gray cloth above my head?"
Yi Qing: "…"
Shen Ying: "…"
Ah! I've been discovered!
My invisibility function is not working today. The moldy ghost has not even dried up yet!
