Chapter 978: A hundred methods to seize immortal bones

The Shaman Sect Master fled a hundred steps, all the way to the Golden Bell Bridge, before he looked back, extinguishing the panic in his eyes.

He stared deeply at the Embroidered Uniform Guard Bridge, which was as small as a signature on the North Canal behind him, and his hands hung down on his chest like an ape, seeing that the willow branch boat was empty.

More than half of the demons in the Northeast, seven percent of the foundation of the Shaman Sect, and the group of fellow Daoists who entered the capital with him this time, were all killed by a disciple sent by the Profound Truth Sect before they even entered Zhigu, and before they reached the second bridge at the Sancha River mouth!

"Good, good, good..."

The Shaman Sect Master's voice sounded like an ape's cry, and he said: "The sect outside the pass, in the end, does not know the prosperity of the great sect in the Central Plains. The border outside the pass, now I have seen the figures of the Central Plains."

"Sure enough, sending a disciple at will can destroy my Shaman Sect!"

The Shaman Sect Master recalled that punch just now. He could only say that he was convinced. On the Embroidered Uniform Guard Bridge, he watched as that junior, who was only in the second realm, muttered to himself, and with every sentence he recited, his momentum changed.

He relied on his status and didn't make a move, but he didn't expect that junior's momentum to rise endlessly to that point.

Once he made a move, it was heaven-collapsing and earth-shattering.

But he had no annoyance in his heart, only to say that the divine ability of the Profound Truth Sect Master had reached an unimaginable realm.

Now it was this junior who made a move, so his "Great Sage Driving Gods Transformation" could still escape. If the Profound Truth Sect Master had come in person, or even if those deacons of the fourth realm beside him had made a move, he would have had no hope of escaping this time.

Therefore, he was just

The Shaman sect leader bowed to the Embroidered Uniform Guard Bridge in the distance, lowered his head and said: "Members of the All Xuanzhen sect, this little shaman is incompetent and failed to let everyone have their fill. When we meet next time, this little shaman will no longer be qualified to hold back! I will definitely go all out and bring out my means to show everyone..."

After saying this, he darted away without looking back.

On the Embroidered Uniform Guard Bridge, Du Du Xiaoling smiled bitterly and said to the deacons beside him: "Everyone, this disciple is incompetent and ultimately couldn't keep him."

The crow nodded: "The sect leader let you take action, probably not intending to keep him. For the great plan of this sect, anyone, even rotten wood or stubborn stone, or a petty thief, is useful. This time, taking action to destroy the group of demon spirits from the Northeast was also because they took action against you and sought their own death."

"The Shaman sect leader is also a hero of his generation and shouldn't die here. With this stimulation, he will definitely go all out next time, so that he can be useful to the great plan of this sect!"

The crow looked at Du Du Xiaoling's abdomen, where the essence of the Shaman sect's eight-hundred-year demon spirits resided.

"The sacrifice is in hand. This foundation of the Shaman sect's eight-hundred-year demon spirits still needs you to fill in. The great sacrifice is coming, and only three of the five pillars have been gathered. If it really doesn't work, you will need to use the Five-Demon Xingtian Sacrifice to open the achievement secret ritual of the fourth pillar!"

Du Du Xiaoling nodded: "Everything is for the great plan of this sect..."

Many deacons said in unison: "Everything is for the great salvation plan of this sect!"

…………

In the Medicine King Temple, Dou Dou Dabiebao rolled his eyes, pulled a green hair from under his eyeball, and several black lines covered the bottom of his eyelids, which he pulled out with tweezers.

Several hairs were twisted together, turned into a strand, and pulled out by him.

The hair grew longer the more he pulled!

He didn't know where the hair under his eyelids had spread to, as if the hair was being pulled out from his bone marrow.

Dou Dou Dabiebao made a hoarse sound in his mouth...

In his open mouth, strands of hair also crawled out from his throat. The hair was like vines, covering his tonsils, and the same was true for other parts of his body, as if hair was crawling out from every orifice and every pore of his body.

Green bumps rose on his skin, and as the bumps burst, clusters of hair swarmed out...

At this moment, Fairy Bei kicked open the door carrying an iron pot, opened the lid, and a dazzling light burst out from the pot.

The alluring aroma erupted with the steam, and the aroma in the air squirmed like countless tentacles.

That mysterious, subtle aroma surged into Dou Dou Dabiebao's mouth and nose, penetrating everywhere, surging up with every one of his senses and every point of his perception.

Immediately, an instinctive desire, as if erupting from the very root of life, drowned Dou Dou Dabiebao.

Intense hunger and appetite drowned him in an instant.

Dou Dou Dabiebao pushed Fairy Bei away and buried his head in the pot. Crystal-clear vermicelli was dotted with charred, crispy minced meat. As Dou Lao Xia opened his mouth to swallow, he sucked rapidly, inhaling crazily.

The hair crawling out from his seven orifices, mouth, nose, and even pores was sucked back into his body by the storm.

Fairy Bei rolled up her sleeves, untied the silk scarf covering her head, and tidied her appearance slightly.

Dou Dou Dabiebao, who had regained consciousness, exhaled a breath, his eyes regaining clarity: "So delicious!"

"I used this dish, Ants Climbing a Tree, to stimulate your primitive appetite, strengthened your swallowing function, and sucked the hair ghost back into your body. The most fundamental desire of a person is appetite. Appetite is rooted in our body and is the most primitive instinct of our body. Even if the hair ghost planted in your body can distort our five senses, create hallucinations, and manipulate the body's senses, it cannot override the desire to eat."

Fairy Bei shook her head when she said this: "What food brings to people should be happiness. This means of manipulating people's appetite and overriding everything is already close to dark cuisine..."

Dou Dou Dabiebao didn't care about dark cuisine and said nervously: "What about the hair ghost that was sucked back into my body by my hungry appetite?"

"We must find a way to remove it! Otherwise, the person behind the scenes will always control us!"

Fairy Bei said: "It has already been digested by your appetite!"

Dou Dou Dabiebao finally relaxed. He slumped on the ground bit by bit and loosened the hand covering his right eye. His remaining right eye was already gray and white. Dou Biebao, who had finally cured his blindness by sacrificing one eye, was completely blind again.

"Dou has relied on this pair of divine eyes for half his life and was glorious, but in the second half of his life, he was indeed schemed against by others because of it..."

Dou Dou Dabiebao sighed: "I have already understood what the person behind the scenes wants to do!"

"It's a pity I understood too late!"

The young scholar who was leading the donkey to the Long Long Long Yubi walked into the room and smiled: "Brother Dou has also figured it out?"

"Yes!"

Dou Dou Dabiebao nodded: "He killed the Insect King first to cover up the tricks he played on the Insect King. On one hand, he made us suspect that the All Xuanzhen sect was killing people to silence them, and then he guided us toward those foreigners."

"The foreigners are secretly collecting immortal bones—which they call alienated organs. Their so-called Deformed Anatomy Association wants to use immortal bones to piece together an 'immortal'."

Dou Dou Dabiebao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he said this: "It's no wonder we fell into the trap. In this medical exchange meeting, except for us patients led here by the All Xuanzhen sect, none of the other three parties are good people."

"The All Xuanzhen sect chose my Illusion-Breaking Divine Eye, your Dragon-Chong Long Long Yubi, Master Bei's Tasting Divine Tongue, and the Insect King's Heavenly Sound Divine Ear. They were only harmed by the mysterious hair of the person behind the scenes. To gather the five senses, they went to such great lengths, they must have a plan."

"And the foreigners are even worse people. How many people had to be harmed to gouge out so many immortal bones."

"Some people want to use immortal bones to piece together some complete person, Frankenstein, and there's also some True Alchemy, Philosopher's Stone... The All Xuanzhen sect should be scheming against the foreigners, tricking our immortal bones over and putting them on that mermaid, piecing together the prototype of an immortal. The foreigners really didn't let go of this opportunity, secretly changing the immortal bones on the mermaid, wanting to revive an 'immortal'!"

"Fortunately, that foreign woman knew what was good and told us the key."

"But our act of killing the immortal was obviously used by the person behind the scenes again!"

"And the Three Emperors Society, they are not good people either..."

Dou Dou Dabiebao said with a resentment that was hard to vent: "The Yaksha King they worship is also an evil god. The induced harvesting and dismemberment are all to refine immortal pills to become immortals. When treating people, they secretly swap immortal bones to refine pills. As a result, the 'immortal pill' was stolen by the foreigners to revive the 'immortal', the immortal was killed by us, and they stole the immortal corpse to refine pills!"

"Refining pills for longevity... a bunch of lunatics!"

"The person behind the scenes used the foreigners to revive the immortal, used us to kill the immortal, used the Three Emperors Society to steal the immortal corpse, everything was under their control..."

"Oh! Only the All Xuanzhen sect can go back and forth with him. We don't know what the All Xuanzhen sect wants to do yet. It's probably also a world-shaking conspiracy. Let them fight with the mastermind behind the scenes! We won't serve them anymore!"

"Let's go!" Scholar Yang patted the butt of the big green donkey and said: "I even brought the donkey for Brother Dou!"

Dou Dou Dabiebao sighed, turned to Fairy Bei and said: "We have already lost completely, so we can leave, but Master Bei saved my life, so I must help you once. And the person behind the scenes killed the Insect King, so he might not let us go, so we must take a risk."

"Master Bei, the various lowly means of the person behind the scenes are nothing more than to take away our 'immortal bones'!"

"Immortal bones?" Fairy Bei realized: "Right! You have all lost part of your senses. But my Immortal Tongue was already taken away and transplanted onto that mermaid corpse..."

Dou Dou Dabiebao shook his head: "Although I don't know how the All Xuanzhen sect people did it, your immortal bones should only have lost a part. For example, I lost my left eye, but the All Xuanzhen sect left me my right eye. Master Bei, you lost part of your taste buds, but those were just old taste buds, your tongue was not lost, and there is even hope for new growth. And Brother Yang's Dragon-Chong Long Long Yubi is the same..."

"We are still the masters of our own immortal bones. This loss is just the immortal bones undergoing transformation!"

"But the person behind the scenes is different. He doesn't know what means he used to be able to truly strip away our immortal bones... Now I have completely lost my divine eyes, and Brother Yang has also had his jade nose taken. Master Bei, you are next!"

Fairy Bei pondered slightly and replied: "I still can't imagine how things inherent in a person can be taken away."

"Yes, when treating the illness earlier, my taste buds were indeed transplanted onto the mermaid living corpse by mysterious medical arts, but even without the sense of taste, without the tongue, my memory of food, my sensitivity to the taste of cooking has never been lost! According to this calculation, that tongue should always be in my heart."

"Only when one day, my memory and perception of all tastes in the world are also stripped away, can it be considered that I have completely lost this tongue!"

Dou Dou Dabiebao said solemnly: "That is exactly it! Master Bei, besides the immortal bones themselves, we still have cultivation. Even when I lost those eyes, my spiritual sense for the treasure itself was not completely lost, it was just covered up by my decadence and annoyance. At that time, my eyes were blind but my heart was not, it was just that my Dao heart was covered in dust, and I was completely unaware of it."

"And now, my cultivation in the path of treasure-hunting has also been completely taken away!"

"My heart is also blind!"

Dou Dou Dabiebao said in a deep voice.

Everyone was silent for a while, and it was only after a long time that Scholar Yang spoke slowly: "Speaking of how the person behind the scenes takes our immortal bones, I have some ideas. Techniques are nothing more than rituals and talismans. The way he takes our immortal bones should also be a kind of ritual. When I lost my Dragon-Chong Long Long Yubi earlier, I smelled thousands of wonderful fragrances until a smell that was both fragrant and foul emerged, which was so strong that I couldn't see and couldn't smell, and then I lost the ability of the jade nose."

"That should be the reason why my supernatural power lost to that fragrant and foul smell, because my memory of all the fragrances in the world was actually covered by that kind of smell."

"And I lost my Illusion-Breaking Divine Eye, although there was the reason for being schemed against by others early on and planting the hair ghost, it was also because my Illusion-Breaking Divine Eye fell into an illusion instead!"

Dou Dou Dabiebao was horrified: "Yes! How could a mere ghost hair cover my Illusion-Breaking Divine Eye? It was I who reversed the cause and effect. It wasn't that I was hit by the ghost hair and then produced hallucinations, but that my divine eye was broken first, and then the hallucinations took advantage of the situation!"

"Brother Yang, what was the smell that was both fragrant and foul that you smelled?"

Dou Dou Dabiebao asked hurriedly.

Scholar Yang hesitated. He lowered his head and thought for a long time before saying: "I think it should be the smell of copper!"

Dou Dou Dabiebao opened his blind right eye and said to Fairy Bei: "Master Bei, look at my eyes."

Fairy Bei leaned in and stared at the gray and white pupils. Her gaze went straight through Dou Dou Dabiebao's pupils, like looking into a bottomless abyss, constantly falling into it... After a long time, Fairy Bei was patted on the shoulder by someone, and she was able to pull her gaze out of those pupils.

"It's a money eye!"

Fairy Bei said solemnly: "There is a money eye in your pupils, so all the previous things were you looking at people through the money eye!"

"Copper-smell money eye!"

Dou Dou Dabiebao murmured in a low voice: "Now I know how our immortal bones were taken by others! In this world, besides money, what else can take away other people's things so easily?"

"Master Bei, this person's supernatural power must be related to money. We are all vulgar people, and the more vulgar we are, the more we cannot escape that copper coin of his!"
