"That white-robed man couldn't have been me in my previous life, right?" Ye Fan asked in confusion. "That can't be right. Didn't you say that I killed that old bastard? Why did you say that he escaped?"
"You didn't kill him back then because you didn't know what he did to my parents. In addition, I was only in my teens at the time and had just gained sentience. I couldn't take human form and couldn't speak. Even if I wanted to tell you, I couldn't!" Xiao Zhao explained.
"Then how did I kill him?" Ye Fan asked.
"After I came to the Lingyun Cave, I missed my parents so much that I didn't eat or drink. I became thinner and thinner. You saw that I was sad and couldn't speak. You didn't understand what was going on with me, so you did something that ordinary people couldn't imagine."
"What did you do?" Ye Fan asked.
"You took out the spirit pill that the Thousand Demon Hall's Hall Master Nie Qing gave you and fed it to me so that I could take human form and speak." Xiao Zhao looked at Ye Fan gratefully.
"Spirit pill?" Ye Fan frowned. "What kind of spirit pill?"
"You should know that this spirit pill is extraordinary. Later, you told me that this spirit pill was personally refined by the Thousand Demon Hall's Hall Master Nie Qing. It took him nearly ten years to refine twelve spirit pills. The name of the pill is the Hundred Herb Pill. In order to refine this pill, he used nearly a hundred rare herbs. Although ordinary people can't live forever after eating it, they can still regain their youth and stay young forever. If a cultivator eats it, it can increase their cultivation by nearly a hundred years. Moreover, there's another benefit, which is that the cultivator can take human form and remove their hyoid bones, allowing them to speak. In those days, you helped Nie Qing solve a thorny problem. Later, you two became best friends. On your 300th birthday, he gave you this Hundred Herb Pill as a birthday gift. I didn't expect that you would directly give it to me without thinking. I still remember the words you muttered to yourself when you fed me this pill. "Xiao Zhao recalled." At that time, while feeding me this pill, you said 'Nie Qing, if this Baihu can't take human form after eating your pill, I will beat you back to your original form … …'
"This … …" Ye Fan didn't know what to say. He had never thought that he was so crazy in his previous life. No wonder when he heard the name Eldritch in the ancestral residence, he frowned.
"What happened later?" Ye Fan asked again.
"Less than a day after I took the Hundred Herbs Pill, my body started to change. Three days later, I became like this." Every time Xiao Zhao thought about how she didn't need to cultivate painstakingly to take human form, she would sigh endlessly. This truly was the result of Laozi's famous saying: misfortune is a blessing in disguise; blessing in disguise. Her parents were cautious and conscientious, diligently cultivating, but the result was that they met with evil. After she lost her parents, she gained a blessing in disguise and obtained this Hundred Herb Pill. The affairs of the world were truly unpredictable. One should know that it was not so easy to take human form. Even if one's talent was high, it would still take at least several hundred years. If one's aptitude was average, it was basically impossible to take human form without thousands of years.
"After you took human form, were you especially happy?" Ye Fan was very curious about how a spirit would feel after taking human form.
"I can only use 'unable to contain my joy' to describe it. You are not a different species, so you don't understand how difficult it is to take human form. You also don't know how bitter the path of cultivation is. Merely controlling animal instinct is difficult. This is just like the seven emotions and six desires of you humans. Pure heart and few desires, it is easy to say. Even among you humans, how many people are able to do it? " Xiao Zhao picked up the teacup and drank a mouthful of tea. "Take our Baihu as an example. Once they can't control their instincts, they will capture those weak animals as food. This is a violation of the great taboo of killing. Some will even transform into handsome men and beautiful women to seduce humans and suck their souls, harming others for their own benefit. If they continue to cultivate like this, it is inevitable that they will be struck by heavenly lightning, their flesh lacerated, and their body and soul destroyed. Thus, I am fortunate enough to take the Hundred Herb Pill. It is truly a blessing that I cultivated in my previous life. "
"This Hundred Herb Pill is actually so miraculous!" Ye Fan exclaimed. "But who is this Nie Qing? What's the matter with the Thousand Demon Hall? "Ye Fan questioned closely.
"Let me tell you this. In your previous life, Eldritch's cultivation was shocking. Using Brother Kim's words, his personality was 30% righteous, 30% evil, 30% murderous, and 30% childish. Back then, you made friends all over the world, and most of them were either demons or monsters. Among these friends, there are three people who are closest to you. "Xiao Zhao said." The closest one is your sworn brother, Brother Kim. Other than him, the other two are the Thousand Demon Hall's Hall Master, Nie Qing, and the Myriad Immortal Tower's Head, Bai Sheng. " Xiao Zhao spoke tirelessly. "I am not clear about Nie Qing's original body, but I heard from Brother Kim that he was not an ordinary spiritual being. His talent was extraordinary, and it is said that he cultivated into a human form within a hundred years. Now, his cultivation is above the Earth Immortal Realm, and he leads the Thousand Demon Hall. There are mountain spirits and monsters inside, and there are more than a thousand of them. The Thousand Demon Hall has strict rules and many experts. Back then, you told me that after Nie Qing cultivated into a human form, he saw that the demons in the world were in a difficult situation. They were either killed by demon hunters or killed by heavenly lightning. Nie Qing could not bear to see them like this, so he personally created the Thousand Demon Hall. His goal was to restrain and protect these demons, allowing them to cultivate properly and eventually achieve good results. The Thousand Demon Hall's rules are extremely strict. It forbids killing, not to mention harming others. If there are any violators, they will be immediately killed without mercy. Moreover, once they enter the Thousand Demon Hall, no one from the Daoist Sect can continue to pursue them. Otherwise, they will become enemies with Nie Qing. Back then, there were a few old Daoists who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. They used the slogan of enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens to pursue a spider demon in the Thousand Demon Hall. In the end, they only wanted to use the spider demon's skin to make armor and forcefully take its inner core to increase their own cultivation. Although Nie Qing did not kill those Daoists, he still crippled their cultivation. He was no different from an ordinary person. As for the Myriad Immortal Tower's Head, Bai Sheng, "Xiao Zhao continued." I don't know much about him. I only know that he is the same as you, both righteous and evil, and his cultivation has reached the Ghost Immortal Realm. "
"Ghost Immortal? Ghosts can also become immortals? "Ye Fan realized that there were a lot of strange things in the cultivation world.
"All things have spirits. As long as an object lives for a long time, it will become a demon. Even objects can become spirits, let alone ghosts," Xiao Zhao said. "It is said that Ghost Immortals can leave the netherworld and enter the light. If they want people, they will be people. If they want ghosts, they will be ghosts. Although they can't be ranked as immortals, they are still free and unfettered. This Bai Sheng's temperament is similar to yours back then. His whereabouts are unpredictable. Every time he comes to find you, no one will know. He scared me a few times. "
"Myriad Immortal Tower, could it be that there are tens of thousands of Ghost Immortals?" Ye Fan asked.
"Pfft." Xiao Zhao couldn't help but find it funny. "How is that possible? The name sounds nice. In fact, instead of calling it the Myriad Immortal Tower, it is better to call it the Myriad Ghost Tower. It is filled with malicious ghosts and vengeful spirits who are temporarily unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation. This Bai Sheng is similar to that Nie Qing. He can't bear to see them wreak havoc in the human world, so he did some immoral things like finding substitutes. That's why the Myriad Immortal Tower was created. You brought me to this Myriad Immortal Tower once. It's filled with ghostly aura and is far inferior to the Thousand Demon Hall. However, Bai Sheng is doing a good deed. For hundreds of years, battles have been going on for years, and thousands of people have died. If they all found substitutes, then the human world would be plunged into misery and suffering. "
"You live in this Lingyun Cave every day, but you still know about the human world?" Ye Fan asked curiously.
"How could I not know? Although this Lingyun Cave is a paradise, I can't stay here every day by myself. How boring would that be?" Xiao Zhao smiled. "That's why I go out from time to time to relax, pick herbs, and chat with the mountain people and listen to them talk about the current situation. This way, the days are better. "
"The world is not peaceful now. As a weak woman, you should go out less," Ye Fan said with concern. "Oh right, you still haven't told me how I killed that old bastard."
"Hehe, you care about me …" Xiao Zhao looked straight at Ye Fan and said softly.
"This … Of course I care about you. Of course I care. Aren't you my little sister? "This Xiao Zhao was really fickle. One moment she would cry, the next moment she would laugh, and now she was so tender.
