Chapter 290: Three Corpse Laws, Undying Art
The old woman originally thought that the god of the Baosheng Temple was a wild god who had never seen the world. As long as she opened her mouth and pretended to give the other party a good fortune, wouldn't this little wild god be led by her nose?
As a result, she didn't expect that as soon as they met, the two almost started fighting!
The old woman didn't dare to fool Xu Qing again. She was afraid that she would miss this line of opportunity.
Forget it! Since she couldn't come hard, she would come soft!
"The old body has no way to go, I want to ask you to do me a favor..."
"You don't have to be in a hurry to refuse. This favor is good for the old body, and it is also good for you. We should have been on the same path."
Who is on the same path as you, an old witch?
While Xu Qing stabilized the old woman, the main body of the coffin shop had already ridden the funeral-chasing horse and rushed here.
He didn't use the Divine Wandering Heavenly Book. That Heavenly-level escape technique was not something he could play with at this realm. It was okay to use it to bully the weak or run away, but if it was against the enemy...
A flash of the Divine Wandering Heavenly Book to Ziyun Mountain, he at least had to drain the magic power of the three changes of the corpse.
Facing the old woman who might be the strongest he had ever encountered, Xu Qing didn't dare to be big.
Riding a horse was not that fast, but it was safe.
Taking advantage of the time in the middle, he could also explore the old woman's background as much as possible, so as not to be in a hurry when they really started fighting.
"Old lady, let's not talk about asking for help first. I have something I want to ask you first."
Xu Qing separated a wisp of incense, carrying the dormant Little Willow Immortal, and sent it out of the Baosheng Temple.
At the same time, Sister Liu, who was talking to Midwife Liu, was slightly stunned, and then she found an excuse to take Midwife Liu away from the temple gate.
The old woman frowned slightly, vaguely noticing something wrong, but she still patiently said, "Fellow Daoist, please speak, the old body knows everything."
Xu Qing said quietly, "My Baosheng Temple and the Cat Immortal Hall are neighbors and have a good private friendship, but my cat immortal friend was pitted out of a life by an old witch."
"You say, if I meet this old witch, what should I do?"
"..."
The old woman realized, "So it's because of this."
"Killing life and taking life, a deep hatred. If the old lady wants to ask me for help, she must first return the old account, and then I will consider whether to help or not."
A strong dragon is hard to suppress a local snake. Xu Qing had an idea in his heart. If they started fighting later, he would use the dharma body of the Baosheng Temple to test the old woman's quality. If it was feasible, he would switch to the main body and handle the old woman's funeral properly.
If he tested something wrong, he could still withdraw in time, withdraw the identity of the mortuary, and lie on the firewood and taste the gall. In this way, even if he couldn't fight today, he could wait until the other party's lifespan was exhausted and the oil was exhausted, and then go to the other party to jump on the face to collect the corpse.
One advance and one retreat, in a short time, Xu Qing had arranged the funeral of the old woman in front of him clearly.
Hearing that Xu Qing wanted her to pay for her life, the old woman was stunned, and then nodded and agreed:
"This matter is indeed the old body's fault. If the Fellow Daoist really can't get angry, the old body will give the Fellow Daoist an explanation later. At that time, if you really want my old life that is about to enter the soil, what does it matter if I give it to the Fellow Daoist?"
"..."
Xu Qing stared at the old woman in front of him. Within the dharma world, every micro-expression on the old woman's face could not escape his eyes.
But through observing words and colors, combined with physiognomy analysis, the old woman in front of him showed no signs of lying.
Xu Qing thought of countless possibilities, but he never thought that the old woman would agree to give him an explanation, and even said directly that she was willing to pay with her life.
Something is wrong...
"Then die one for me to see now!"
Xu Qing almost blurted out.
"..."
The old woman, who had always been calm and composed, finally couldn't stabilize her state of mind.
Why are the younger generations today harder to get along with than the other?
It was fine for the young man to be rude at the funeral banquet during the day. At this moment, coming to the temple, the younger generation who received incense offerings actually hung the word "death" on their lips.
Those who know say you are the Mother of Protection, those who don't know, think you are a ghost messenger who hooks souls and demands lives!
The old woman's eyes flowed with black and white energy. The Mother of Protection in front of her was still full of dharma light, holy and holy.
But she couldn't see through the other party's background, only that this was a newborn god who was saving the world, saving the dead, and had a lot of divine compassion.
"Don't be anxious, the old body is here, and will definitely not run. Why don't you listen to what I have to say to you first."
Xu Qing felt the main body approaching Ziyun Mountain and smiled, "You even cheated the cat you raised, do you think I will believe you?"
The old woman noticed the abnormality of the incense around her and said coldly, "This matter is not only related to you, but also to the life the little cat lost. Do you really not want to listen?"
Xu Qing was silent, but his movements slowed down.
He had actually always been puzzled why the old lady chose to send Xuanyu to the Ruyi Temple to refine medicine, and the other party never intended to use the refined medicine from beginning to end, nor did she ask for any reward from Daoist Bai Yun.
Except for having a crazy disease, Xu Qing couldn't think of any other reason for this behavior.
The old woman didn't know what Xu Qing was thinking. She stretched out her hand and hit a black energy and a white energy. After the two strange air currents merged, they turned into a gray dark light without any vitality, covering the heavenly secrets of the incense hall outside.
"Do you know why there are many evildoers and few good people in the world today?"
Xu Qing looked at the old woman who was profound and ready to talk at length, and directly interrupted, "Because this is an age of great calamity, demons are rising and Dao is disappearing, the path to heaven is cut off, all living beings cannot be liberated, practitioners are dissatisfied with the status quo, naturally evil paths are born, and there are fewer good people..."
"The old lady should not take these things out to sell, they are all outdated news."
"..."
The old woman raised her head and re-examined the newborn god in front of her.
This god born in the secular world seemed far less simple than it looked on the surface.
"You know quite a lot, so the old body can save some lips..." The old woman smiled and asked, "Have you ever heard of the rumors of the Three Corpses?"
"Three Corpses?"
Xu Qing's heart condensed. He had always been sensitive to the word "corpse."
Suppressing the strange emotions in his heart, Xu Qing said calmly, "I have never heard of it."
The old woman smiled, as if she had expected it. She straightened her waist again and explained, "If a person wants to become an immortal, he needs to cut off the Three Corpses. Practitioners say the upper corpse is Peng Ju, who likes gorgeous decorations; the middle corpse is Peng Zhi, who likes delicious food; the lower corpse is Peng Qiao, who likes lust... but these are just appearances."
"In ancient times, heaven and man lived together, and later divided into the three talents of heaven, earth, and man. In the middle, heaven and man also had Three Corpses cut off. Which Three Corpses do you think they cut off?"
"They are the Evil Corpse, the Yin Corpse, and the Resentful Corpse."
"Nowadays, the root cause of the disaster in the underworld, the place where the Nine Netherworlds are imprisoned, comes from this."
"Who is the Heaven Man?" Xu Qing caught the key to the problem. He asked this, which was equivalent to asking who was the real mastermind behind this great calamity.
"..."
The old woman was silent for a moment, her expression inexplicable, "The Heavenly Emperor, the ancient gods, the Yama Son of Heaven, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the World-Honored One... all were Heaven Men."
Xu Qing frowned. If it was really what the old woman said, then the Heavenly Emperor blocking Yin and Yang and cutting off the path to heaven could be explained. ===== CHAPTER 291 =====
