C10 Eye-opening

So the old man's name was Liu Xiaoran. He was already an expert a thousand years ago. But at that time, the people were not living in peace due to the chaos.

As the saying went, there was always a monster in the path of chaos. A Ghost King took advantage of this chaos to bring his subordinates out to commit evil.

Liu Xiaoran fought with the Ghost King on the cliff for seven days and seven nights in order to subdue him.

But soon after, Liu Xiaoran found out that the Ghost King was also a pauper, unable to be reincarnated because of his hatred.

The ghosts he was leading were also honest farmers, who had been persecuted to death in times of war.

These ghosts had too much grievance and could not be overdone. Liu Xiaoran also could not bear to disperse their souls.

Thus, he agreed to the Ghost King lending his immortal soul to the ghosts to cultivate and become Buddha.

This celestial soul wasn't a soul. It was something that only cultivators who had gathered the essence of the heavens and earth could do after thousands of years of cultivation. Not a single soul out of ten thousand had this celestial soul.

They agreed that after a thousand years, the ghosts would successfully cultivate and return the immortal soul to Liu Xiaoran. However, Liu Xiaoran was afraid that the ghosts would not believe her, so she came out to harm the mortal world and sealed the ghosts in the jade pendant she carried with her.

Not long after, he went to the Underworld. But before he divided the souls among the ghosts, he left a trace of his consciousness inside the souls and followed his soul through a thousand years of reincarnation. He waited for the ghosts to return the souls as promised, and Li Jing was the reincarnation of Liu Xiaoran a thousand years later.

After hearing all this, Li Jing let out a long sigh. He hadn't thought that there would be so many things happening to him.

However, he quickly calmed down. After experiencing all these events, he now had a new understanding of the theory of the suspense of ghosts and gods.

However, Li Jing still didn't understand a lot, "Since the immortal soul has already been returned, what should I do next?"

The old man smiled, "I do not know what will happen next, but after being born from heaven and earth, our fates have been decided. There is no place for us to hide even if we want to come."

"But …"

Li Jing wanted to continue, but the old man waved his hand.

"This old one is already relieved to see that you're safe and sound. Time is almost up. Go back."

Saying so, he flicked his sleeves and Li Jing felt as if he had fainted.

Opening his eyes once again, he saw Li Jing sitting in the KTV. Zhang Changsheng hurriedly went over to help him up as he said this excitedly.

"This Penniless Priest wasn't mistaken. You really are a legend! There is hope for the Sect, and there is hope for the Sect!"

The other three people also came over. The lady in white said, "No wonder you didn't see Young Master's talent earlier. It's because you fused an immortal soul into a hundred ghosts."

Li Jing rubbed his eyes with all his might as he went through all that had happened in his mind once more. Even now, he still found it hard to believe that he was some sort of legendary person that Zhang Changsheng was talking about.

In addition, there were too many things that he did not understand. Just who were Zhang Changsheng and the others? What could he do in the future?

The woman in white seemed to have noticed Li Jing's thoughts as she smiled, "Young Master must have many questions. Come and tell us everything you want, I will tell you everything I know."

Li Jing asked the questions one by one, and the woman in white answered them carefully.

The woman in white was called Zi Ling, the skinny man was called Zi Che, and the robust man was called Wu Feng.

The three of them were all born in the chaotic world at the end of the Han Dynasty. After their deaths, they became wraiths due to too much resentment.

Fortunately, they met Zhang Changsheng's master later on and subdued the three of them, allowing them to rest on their feet.

Afterwards, the three of them were somewhat accomplished and were able to stand on their own two feet. In Zhang Changsheng's generation, his master had passed the three of them down to Zhang Changsheng as his soul master.

Usually, the three of them would stay within Zhang Changsheng's Soul Controlling Sigil. If necessary, Zhang Changsheng would chant an incantation and the three of them would come out.

The legend started from a thousand years ago when the Three Treasures Daoist Sect was exterminated. The Daoist Priest was also a great sect in the Daoist Sect. When he was flourishing, he was also a disciple of the Four Seas and had an endless supply of incense.

However, a thousand years ago, for some unknown reason, the main temple was destroyed in one night, and all the disciples that were assigned to it were massacred.

Fortunately, those who wanted to live were seeking help from other Fellow Daoists from other sects. That Fellow Daoists told them that the heavens were set on this calamity, and that a thousand years from now, an expert would meet with mishap to save San Yu from this calamity.

Daoist Priest San Cai had always kept this legend in mind and passed it down from generation to generation. Gradually, he became a legend.

Later on, when Zhang Changsheng was searching for his master, he coincidentally encountered Li Jing on a fabled day, which happened to be the latter part of the story.

Although Zi Ling spoke calmly, Li Jing could see traces of sadness in her eyes.

Li Jing, who finally understood the whole story, asked again, "If that's the case, how should I save all of you?"

Zi Ling shook her head. "This little girl doesn't know. Back then, fellow cultivator only said that you were someone who could save us, but he didn't say anything about the method."

Li Jun nodded and thought to herself, "The fellow Taoist you all speak of, if I were to give him to you a thousand years from now, he would probably only be perfunctory to you. Otherwise, I can't not even tell him the method." This whole thing looks messy, so I better get out of here.

After thinking about it, he rolled his eyes and pretended to be very serious, saying in all seriousness, "Since that's the case, I think that I will have a way when fate allows us to meet. "Why don't we part ways today and wait for me to rescue you guys when I'm needed?" After which, he stood up and walked out.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Changsheng and the others did not stop him. Li Jing chuckled as he stepped out of the door and thought to himself: These idiots are so easily deceived. They finally came out.

Then, he quickly walked out of the Red Rose KTV.

He looked at his watch and saw that it was already past 4 am. The song was no longer in the KTV, so the surroundings were completely silent.

He could only occasionally see two or three figures passing by the corridor. These people had dull expressions and were walking leisurely. They were probably hangover drunkards.

When he arrived at the door, it was already locked. Li Jing was stunned as he pushed the door with all his might.

The security guard in the duty room seemed to be awakened by the sound and yawned before walking out, "Officer Li, you just left …" "I'll open the door for you right now …"

Li Jing looked around curiously. Seeing that there were still a few people moving around in the hall, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why did you lock the door?"

The security guard said impatiently, "We closed the door at 3 in the morning. Boss Qiao specifically told us not to disturb you. Seeing that everyone else had left, we locked the door."

"The others have left?" Li Jing pointed at the figure that was still walking around in the hall, "Aren't there quite a few people here!?"

However, just as he finished speaking, he saw a person walking from behind the security guard, and was about to crash into him.

However, this person did not dodge and actually passed through the guard's body.

The security guard didn't react at all. He just stood there, fiddling with the key in his hand.

Ghost!

Li Jing immediately reacted. He remembered that when Zhang Changsheng first arrived, he said that there were a lot of wandering souls here, but he was unable to see them.

But now, why would these souls suddenly appear in front of him?

Could it be the Dao talisman that Zhang Changsheng had just given him? However, that talisman had already been torn apart.

At this time, Zhang Changsheng had already appeared behind Li Jing. "This Penniless Priest has long since seen through your thoughts. Do you think you can shake this Penniless Priest off?"

Li Jing turned around and saw Zhang Changsheng smiling at him while dragging his chin.

"It's all your fault again!"

At this moment, Li Jing had already gone mad. He felt that this Zhang Changsheng was like a dog skin plaster, he could not shake him off no matter how hard he tried!

Zhang Changsheng waved his hand.

"You are wrong this time, this humble Taoist, you already have the Celestial Soul, do you still think you are the same as before? "This celestial soul is made from thousands of years of cultivation. It already has a thousand years of cultivation and has the Heaven's Eyes. What's so special about it if you can see ghosts!"

"Moreover, this celestial soul is extremely rare. If cultivators were to get the help of this celestial soul, their cultivation would increase exponentially and the evil spirit would also gain a boost in mana. As long as this celestial soul appears, many people with ill intentions will want it."

"With your current abilities, do you think you can handle it? At the very least, this humble Taoist will still be able to guarantee your safety. "

Li Jing seemed to understand when he heard this. He felt like he was the Tang Monk in Journey to the West, no matter who it was, they would see him as a fat man!
