Chapter 254: Heaven Deaf and Earth Dumb, the Death of a God
The well is extremely cold, full of yin evil and resentment. Even after many years, the corpse inside has not decayed.
Xu Qing looked carefully and saw that of the seven corpses, six were standing straight in a circle, both hands in a lifting posture. The well water just submerged the chests of these corpses, and in the hands of the six standing corpses, they were holding a County Magistrate's corpse, not letting it be submerged by the dirty well water.
After sensing that the stone seal was opened, the evil spirit in the well seemed to have found a vent and began to gush out towards the wellhead.
Xu Qing frowned when he saw this, and the restrained corpse energy on his body released unconsciously.
When they sensed the more violent aura at the wellhead, the restless yin evil that wanted to gush out instantly calmed down, and then shrank back into the well the same way.
Xu Qing looked down again and saw that the several County Magistrates who were standing straight and unyielding in the well were now all bowing their heads and kneeling, looking like they were bowing their heads and claiming to be ministers.
The evil aura of the previous thorns was now wailing and circling the well wall, just like a little daughter-in-law who had been wronged, constantly complaining to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing had a feeling in his heart and immediately circled the wellhead, starting to recite the Soul-Calling Curse.
Xuanyu held incense in one hand and white wax in the other, following Xu Qing closely, starting to circle.
"Green protects the soul, white serves the soul, red nourishes the qi, black connects the blood, other souls don't come, dead souls don't go, listen to my curse, residual spirits enter the dream, heaven gate opens, earth gate opens, golden sparrow transforms into spirit body, wandering soul returns to see body, thousand-mile soul-detention symptom, quickly enter the original nature!"
After circling the well nine times in a row, the whole well seemed to be completely boiling, and countless black water gushed out of the well along with the evil spirit of the corpse. In a split second, the several County Magistrates in the well were all washed out of the well.
At the same time, in a place unknown how deep or far from the bottom of the well, a lost soul turned into a golden stream of light, flying all the way, and finally jumped out of the wellhead.
It was a small sparrow condensed from golden spiritual light. The moment it flew out of the wellhead, the little golden sparrow flapped its wings and circled around Xu Qing, looking like a child who couldn't find home and was seeking help from an adult.
Xu Qing stood in front of the corpse held by all the County Magistrates and said impatiently: "Stop spinning! Look and see if this is your corpse?"
The little golden sparrow came to the corpse and looked at it, then shook its head with some disgust, and then flew down to Xu Qing.
"Then look at these six."
The little golden sparrow flew to the six County Magistrate corpses. When it saw one of the corpses, the little golden sparrow flapped its wings and dived down one after another, but the moment it touched the corpse, it was blocked by the stiff corpse without exception.
Xu Qing had a guess in his heart, but was afraid that the judgment was wrong. After thinking for a while, he simply took out several corpses from the box garden.
There were Taoist Bai Yun's, Magistrate Xiao's, and some bald donkeys.
The little golden sparrow circled a few times and finally flew to Xu Qing.
This little thing is quite picky!
Xu Qing looked at the sky. If he dragged it on, it wouldn't be so easy for the little golden sparrow to return to its soul.
After thinking for a while, Xu Qing suddenly smiled and said: "Come, come, come! Come to me. Aren't you picky that these corpses are not original? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I have a way to help you find your true body."
Hearing this, the little golden sparrow was happy and flapped its wings to Xu Qing.
"Don't move around, do you see that corpse?"
Xu Qing pointed to the corpse held by other County Magistrates on the ground. When the little golden sparrow turned its head and its attention fell on that corpse, the zombie behind it suddenly slapped it!
"Pick your grandpa! It's good enough to have a usable corpse, and you're still picky here..."
Xu Qing grabbed the little golden sparrow and slapped it directly into the only vivid corpse in front of him.
Except for the body being a bit cold, the limbs of this corpse held by other County Magistrates were still as soft as ever. If it were slightly heated, it would be no different from an ordinary person.
The little golden sparrow was caught off guard. When it merged with the corpse on the ground, the throat of this corpse had its first breath of heat.
Xu Qing fed the other party a Ten Thousand Spirit Pill, as well as some pills for nourishing qi and blood, and took out a piece of warm jade and put it on the other party, and then ignored him.
This little golden sparrow is the soul of one of the County Magistrates under the well, but the other party was changed by Yang Mingchun using the soul-shifting and body-changing method. This is why the little golden sparrow desperately hit one of the corpses after returning, but could not merge.
The little golden sparrow's previous body no longer belongs to him.
After Xu Qing understood, he guessed that the corpse held and protected by a group of County Magistrates was the true body of the little golden sparrow after soul-shifting and body-changing.
What Xu Qing didn't understand at this time was why other County Magistrates would always choose to keep the "little golden sparrow" as the only seedling, regardless of themselves.
Holding the questions in his heart, Xu Qing took the opportunity to transcend the corpses of several County Magistrates one by one.
The past of these corpses was much the same. Most of them were hard-working, or handsome and talented in the imperial examination, and were appointed as County Magistrates of Ningxian.
It's a pity that these County Magistrates did not stay for more than three or five days, and were seized by Yang Mingchun and drowned in the deep well.
Ten years of hard study, finally passed the imperial examination and became a local official, but after arriving for only a day or two, his official position and fame were seized by others, and his wives, concubines, and children became the subordinates of the murderer.
The resentment of several County Magistrates can be imagined, no wonder they soaked in the deep well and could remain undecayed for years.
The yin evil and resentment in this well have reached a certain level. The undecayed corpse is just the most inconspicuous effect of this well. If there is no Xu Qing to control it, I think it will become the biggest haunted house in Ningxian in a few years!
During the transcendence, Xu Qing felt the strong unwillingness from the corpse. These corpses were like being dragged by their legs by the Sutra of Transcending People, and they were unwilling to cooperate, but they couldn't resist, so the resentment became more intense.
Xu Qing had never seen an ordinary person who didn't want to be transcended after death. Which of those lonely ghosts who hadn't done great evil didn't want to be transcended?
There was no way. Every time Xu Qing transcended a corpse, he had to comfort them with a few words, just like coaxing a child to take medicine.
"Don't make trouble! Cooperate with me to transcend peacefully! The culprit Yang Mingchun who harmed you, and those two fox demons, have already been punished by me. You can rest assured to leave. As for the grievances you have suffered, they will naturally be revealed to the world one day."
As soon as Xu Qing's voice fell, the County Magistrate under him stopped struggling, and even the stiff corpse seemed to soften a bit.
After the six corpses were transcended, Xu Qing obtained a Benevolence Seal, a Holy Word Ruler, a Clear Spirit Pill, a Linglong Pill, and a Wenxin Carving Dragon Art.
Although the Benevolence Seal is only a human-grade item, it is, like the Doumi Bowl, a growth-type merit magic weapon.
This seal has infinite power and can suppress evil spirits. Usually, when it is used, it only needs to be invested with merit incense, and it can change in size. The more incense invested, the stronger the seal's power, and vice versa.
The Doumi Bowl can accumulate merit incense, and the Benevolence Seal can consume incense. These two growth-type magic weapons happen to complement each other.
Xu Qing played with the Benevolence Seal for a while, and then took out the Holy Word Ruler.
The Holy Word Ruler is no different from a ruler. This kind of thing has a wide range of uses. It is used by private school teachers to discipline students and teach lessons, and it is also used in Buddhist ceremonies, such as when taking refuge, shaving, passing precepts, and preaching, using the ruler as a transmission magic weapon.
In addition, the shadow of the ruler can often be seen in Taoism, but the Holy Word Ruler engraved with the words of sages in Xu Qing's hand is obviously different from the above categories.
The Holy Word Ruler records three thousand holy words, measures the truth of the world, and has the effect of breaking delusions and preserving truth, and enlightening the ignorance of all living beings.
Xu Qing weighed the Holy Word Ruler and glanced at Xuanyu who was guarding the law on the side.
After the latter saw Xu Qing's gaze, her figure couldn't help but step back.
Tsk, this ruler is quite good. In the future, it will be enshrined in the Cat Immortal Hall. As long as any immortal doesn't listen, hit the head three times with the ruler, and I'm not afraid it won't be enlightened!
After putting away the ruler, the two pills behind were very ordinary.
Clear Spirit Pill, has the effect of clearing the mind and breaking delusions, and can make people remember what they see. ===== CHAPTER 255 =====
