Liu Yuan asked in confusion: "Why are you looking at me?"
Ning Xiangrong immediately retracted her gaze and turned her head and said, "No, I was just lying there, just taking a look."
"Oh……"
Liu Yuan looked at her red ears, suddenly reached out to hug her, pressed her in his arms, and rubbed his chin against the top of her soft head.
Ning Xiangrong groaned twice before poking his head out to take a deep breath and said angrily, "Liu Junxuan!"
She met Liu Yuan's gaze and suddenly whispered, "A Yuan..."
Liu Yuan touched her head and said with a smile: "That sound just now was just like the Ning Xiangrong I knew before. She looked aloof and inhumane, but in fact, she was very fierce when she got angry."
Ning Xiangrong blushed and pinched him: "Who is so fierce?"
Liu Yuan grimaced and pretended to be in pain. Ning Xiangrong hurried forward to check on him, but was gently hugged by him and instantly calmed down.
Liu Yuan suddenly chuckled twice and said, "Whoever gets angry and curses after I steal their clothes is a fierce person."
Ning Xiangrong muttered, "That's only for you..."
Liu Yuan hugged Ning Xiangrong like a pillow. Her soft body was very comfortable to hug, and the faint fragrance was soothing. He sighed and fell asleep quickly.
Sure enough, Rongrong is still good...
Ning Xiangrong curled up in Liu Yuan's arms, stole a glance at Liu Yuan's relaxed expression, closed her eyes, found a comfortable position, smiled faintly, and fell asleep with her clothes on.
The next day.
The news that Liu Yuan walked out of Ning Xiangrong's room spread like wildfire.
The conclusion that the owner of the dock would become his son-in-law was basically confirmed also spread.
As Liu Yuan walked along the road, he could feel that the Shuiyuewu disciples looked at him with many different things in their eyes: curiosity, jealousy, envy, and disdain...
"There's nothing we can do about it. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of getting fat."
Liu Yuan said to himself.
He once again came to the room where he had met the owner Ning Tingshan before, and this time... he came to discuss the marriage.
When he pushed open the door, he not only saw the owner of the dock, but also Zou Wenrui, whose dantian he had sealed that day.
There is also Zou Zishi.
Zou Wenrui was as thin as a bamboo pole and stared at Liu Yuan grimly.
Liu Yuan smiled: "Isn't this Elder Zou? I thought you would hide for a while before coming out."
Zou Wenrui snorted coldly: "I am just an old man, there is nothing for me to hide."
Liu Yuan's eyes turned to Zou Zishi with a half-smile: "You are not afraid of death, then what about your son? Doesn't he need to hide?"
Zou Zishi clenched his fists, his face cold but he didn't say anything. It seemed that he might have learned about Liu Yuan's true realm from Zou Wenrui.
Ning Tingshan looked at both ends, coughed twice and said, "Why are we so tense? Liu will be a member of Shuiyuewu sooner or later..."
Zou Wenrui suddenly said in a loud voice: "Master, please understand. I have invited the ghost messenger from Fengdu Realm to summon the soul of my nephew Yue. With just one question, the truth will be revealed!"
He bowed and looked at Liu Yuan with a stern look: "Please don't let upright people be wronged, and don't let despicable people go unpunished... If they kill people for money, such people can be killed by all of us righteous people, but they cannot be sons-in-law."
Chapter 55: Blood Sacrifice Soul Summoning Formation
"Fengdu Realm? Hiring a ghost messenger? That's a legendary forbidden technique involving reincarnation! We cultivators are going against the will of heaven. We are already surviving in danger. Therefore, every checkpoint we pass is a matter of life and death. The more taboos we touch, the more dangerous it is. There are very few great men who can unravel the mystery of the womb. Elder Zou, how could you..."
Ning Tingshan frowned, paused, looked at Zou Wenrui who was determined, suddenly thought of something, and said hesitantly: "Unless..."
Before Zou Wenrui could speak, Zou Zishi, who was standing next to him, bowed and said, "It is the blood sacrifice formation."
Ning Tingshan's face suddenly changed, and he said in horror: "Absolutely not, the blood sacrifice formation will damage the roots, and this reincarnation forbidden technique has been lost for a long time. Although I don't know where you got it from, it is too dangerous..."
Zou Wenrui said, "I got a fragment of the ghost repair in my early years. Later, I worked with the old owner to study it and barely completed it. Although it is not enough to open the door to Fengdu, it can still summon ghosts and complete a complete soul-calling spell! I watched Yue Longzhang grow up. He and Zishi are like brothers. I really can't bear to see him suffer an unjust accusation!"
His face was solemn and he looked as if he could not stand up for a long time, as if he had really become a righteous man full of passion and youth.
Liu Yuan twitched his eyes. In terms of acting skills, he admitted that he was far inferior to Ma Shu from the Demon Cult, but Ma Shu was a professional undercover after all, so there was nothing to say.
But how come these so-called righteous people have better acting skills than Ma Shu?
Zou Zishi quickly chimed in, "Yes! I grew up with Senior Brother Yue, and I know his character very well. Although he is the chief, he lives and eats with ordinary disciples most of the time. How could he be an undercover agent of the Demon Cult?!"
He looked at Liu Yuan, his eyes clearly saying "you murderer", and said: "I believe that once the soul is summoned, the truth will come out. If Senior Brother Yue was framed and even his body is gone, he can rest in peace."
Liu Yuan sneered, "He is fine in the underworld. You are pulling his soul up again. Isn't that the same as digging up his grave? You are willing to dig up his grave. I think you have a life-and-death feud with him."
Zou Zishi was choked for a moment, his face flushed: "You?!"
Zou Wenrui grabbed him to prevent him from taking the initiative and giving Liu Yuan a reason to kill him.
After all, Zou Wenrui has been practicing for hundreds of years. As a man grows older, he becomes more intelligent. Even a human can become a fox.
He knew very well that the only things they could rely on now were the moral high ground and public opinion. After all, Liu Yuan came to Shuiyuewu to be a son-in-law, so it was impossible for him to tear his face off and directly beat and kill someone.
Just like he was trying to show his power, he only sealed Zou Wenrui's Dantian. If he really tried to kill him, Shuiyuewu would be in chaos immediately.
But Zou Wenrui now looks like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. In order to sacrifice the blood, Liu Yuan even has to remove the restriction.
Ning Tingshan looked a little unhappy, and said, "The matter has not been finalized yet. Mr. Zou and Zishi, you seem to be going too far."
Zou Wenrui stood up and said, "What the owner of the dock said is true, but I am 80% sure that this blood sacrifice formation to ask the ghost messenger to summon the soul will succeed. As long as it can be carried out smoothly, all the conflicts in the dock over the past two days can be ended in one fell swoop."
He said slowly, "I think the owner doesn't want Shuiyue Dock to be in such a mess anymore, right?"
You old thief! The chaos in Shuiyuewu is caused by you, after all?!
For a moment, even Ning Tingshan could hardly hold back from cursing out loud.
But it's really hard to speak out about this kind of secret struggle, not to mention that this old guy is very thick-skinned and has been in Shuiyuewu for a long time...
Ning Tingshan had no choice but to nod: "In that case, you start preparing."
Zou Wenrui smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Master. I will need about seven days to prepare the formation. I will then conduct it in the Shuiyue Lake outside the dock. I would also like to ask the disciples in the dock to act as witnesses."
Although Liu Yuan wanted to stop him, speaking at this time would seem very suspicious. He could only blame himself for not having enough cultivation at that time and being unable to destroy Yue Longzhang's body and soul.
But he is not helpless.
The Yuxu Taoist Canon "Shangqing Tianyan Xinding Baolu" records the techniques for dealing with ghosts. After all, this is the orthodox Taoist tradition.
Even if it can't be done directly, there is definitely no problem in interfering.
Things like the forbidden art of reincarnation... Liu Yuan sincerely felt that Zou Wenrui was most likely lying, most likely to make him lose his composure.
But he is so confident, the probability is probably not low.
"Now that Vihuan Luo has left, I will go to the back mountain of Yinping Lane after I have dealt with the undercover tomorrow and ask Ding Huan what the blood sacrifice soul summoning formation is all about. Then I will ask for a solution and take the next skill by the way."
Liu Yuan frowned. In addition to the three major realms of heaven, man and demon in the upper central realm, there is indeed a ghost realm that was briefly mentioned in the background, or it is called the reincarnation realm or the Fengdu realm. Legend has it that it is the border between the demon realm and the human realm.
The entrance to the ghost world is hidden in an invisible ocean current called the Burial River.
Anyway, it’s mysterious, very mysterious.
"But in this case, the marriage will be impossible..."
Liu Yuan really wanted to propose marriage. Although he married Ning Xiangrong, he could also marry Gu Siyin. After all, there was no bigamy in the other world.
Otherwise, he really didn't know how to choose. If he let one of them be the smaller one, he would explode.
...even though he had already exploded once.
"But as the saying goes, first time is stranger, second time is familiar... No, that's not what I want. If their favorability is high, they will definitely ask me to marry them. But if I deliberately ruin my character and lower their favorability, it may endanger my life. I will be in trouble. What can I do?"
Liu Yuan shook his head and sighed in his heart.
When they returned to the yard, they found Ning Xiangrong and told her about Zou Wenrui. Miss Ning was angry, but there was nothing she could do and she could only choose to believe Liu Yuan.
"I'll find a solution in two days."
Liu Yuan tried to comfort her, but Ning Xiangrong was still upset. She took Liu Yuan out for a walk in an intimate manner to show her ownership and protest.
Liu Yuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and had no choice but to accompany Ning Xiangrong and received another wave of various looks.
-
In the corridor, a skinny old man walked forward with a gloomy face, followed by a young man in a moon-white robe.
Zou Wenrui ordered in a deep voice: "Prepare all the materials. I want to make it completely indistinguishable from the real thing. Except for the lack of effects, everything else must be exactly the same."
"Yes, father."
Zou Zishi said with some worry, "But... Father, he gave the saint's original work to others without hesitation. It's impossible that he got it by chance, right?"
Zou Wenrui swung his sleeves and said, "What do you know? A Nascent Soul without the power of the Dao Tai Yuan Shen is useless. How can such a person be a Saint's disciple? He is just using a tiger skin to make a coat!"
He sneered and said, "When the day of the blood sacrifice to summon the soul comes, I will show his true colors!"
Zou Wenrui narrowed his eyes and looked at the vast and calm lake outside the dock.
He had indeed spent long enough time in Shuiyuewu to know some things that even Ning Tingshan didn't know.
Chapter 56: Seeking Benevolence and Obtaining Benevolence is Freedom
When Liu Yuan walked into the cave, Gu Chang happened to be here too. Although he had worshipped Liu Yuan as his master in front of Ding Huan, he would still often come to bring some food to Ding Huan or simply come to chat with him.
It is no wonder that Ding Huan decided to pass the inheritance to Gu Chang in the beginning. He really has a good eye for people. Gu Chang is considered to be obedient, sensible and kind among his peers. He is also relatively independent because he has lived in poverty since childhood.
Unfortunately, a person's character can change due to environment and experience.
In the end, Gu Chang became a big villain in the game plot.
"Master!"
When Gu Chang saw Liu Yuan coming, he stood up and called out respectfully.
Liu Yuan walked over and nodded, then bowed to Ding Huan who was still meditating and said, "Senior Ding."
Ding Huan looked older than he had in the past few days, and his whole body looked like a piece of dead wood. The bloated and wriggling black fog behind him had calmed down at this moment, and was sealed by the golden light. He looked almost lifeless, except for his eyes, which were still bright and clear.
Ding Huan said hoarsely: "You came at the right time. I have been recuperating these days and have recovered some of my skills. Without further ado, I will teach you the remaining chapters."
Although Liu Yuan wanted to ask for something, he was too embarrassed to speak when he saw Ding Huan's expression. He nodded obediently, sat down cross-legged, and learned all the skills first.
With Liu Yuan's extraordinary comprehension, he can basically learn it as soon as he sees it, and there is no such thing as forgetting or not being able to learn it.
Ding Huan was also surprised at first, but later he seemed to understand something and he liked Liu Yuan more and more. His attitude changed from that of a disciple he found on the street out of necessity to that of a treasured one. He explained every detail of the exercises to Liu Yuan bit by bit.
But although there is a lot of content, the speed is extremely fast, without any pauses. If you put an ordinary person here, he can understand the feeling of waking up from a doze in an advanced mathematics class and looking at the blackboard for the first time.
But Liu Yuan enjoyed learning.
He now understood that the reason why learning was painful was because he couldn't understand it, but when knowledge could be absorbed as smoothly as a sponge absorbs water, learning was truly a happy thing.
After six full hours, Liu Yuan had stuffed the entire Yuxu Taoist Canon into his mind.
"It feels like there are hundreds of Oxford dictionaries in my head... It's weird, a bit bloated."
Liu Yuan shook his head, feeling that if he learned so many things, he would either become mentally retarded or become the catalog of forbidden books on cultivation.
"This is what I have learned in my life. I hope you can treat my Yuxu Dao Sect's ten thousand year heritage well. If one day you gain something and achieve something, I will also have a humble request."
Ding Huan's gaze fell on Liu Yuan and he bowed sincerely.
Liu Yuan quickly helped him up and nodded: "Please tell me, Senior. To put it bluntly, I got this technique for free, but I also understand its preciousness, and I will naturally study it well."
Ding Huan said, "I hope that you can put the skills you developed back into the Yuxu Dao Sect's stele. The Yuxu Dao Sect has been able to survive for thousands of years because of the continuity of this stele. However, only disciples within the sect have left their creations in it, and no outsiders have ever left their creations there."
He sighed: "Thinking about it this way, this preaching monument can't really be considered a preaching monument."
Liu Yuan nodded and agreed without hesitation.
The look in Ding Huan's eyes when he looked at Liu Yuan was glowing, as if he had seen the future.
He bowed again and said, "The preaching stele is the secret of Yuxu Daoism. If you record your own skills and techniques in it, you will be qualified to check everything that others have put in the preaching stele. Please forgive me for deliberately concealing it just now. I wanted to see if you are worthy of trust. I didn't expect that you are the real righteous person."
Ding Huan showed a look of shame on his face: "I am not as good as you."
"..." Liu Yuan's expression was subtle, and he could only return the compliment: "Senior, thank you for your compliment. I simply feel that I shouldn't accept such a gift for nothing."
He naturally didn't know that Liu Yuan only knew about the special mechanism of Yuxu Dao Sect in the game...
Quite a lot of players choose to join the Yuxu Taoist sect. After all, the Taoist sect has fluttering sleeves, heroic demeanor, and handsome appearance.
Otherwise, if you want to choose combat power, it would be a good choice to go to Zhiku Temple, which has the strongest righteous combat power, to learn powerful spells such as the Vajra Palm.
