Hell Emperor.

Chapter 289 Ren Changhong - Turning the Golden Wheel

Xia Wei did what she said. She picked up the purse and quickly found the headless ghost who came with everyone else.

Not long ago, the headless ghost pointed out the evil deeds of the people in the temple and confronted the monk who was leading the battle. When Xia Wei showed her full strength and the magic light swept across, he was so scared that he fell to the ground, not daring to move, for fear that the laser would affect him.

Fortunately, Xia Wei was not an unreasonable person. She had no intention of harming the headless ghost, nor did she harbor prejudice or hostility towards him simply because he was not a human. Instead, after finding the purse, she immediately approached the headless ghost and wanted to return the purse to its owner.

"Is this what you're looking for?" Xia Wei showed him the purse. The purse was bright red and bordered with silver thread, making it look particularly eye-catching.

Seeing the purse, the ghost's head suddenly opened its eyes wide, and its body began to tremble uncontrollably: "Exactly... This is what I've been looking for."

Xia Wei returned the purse to him. The surface of the purse was covered with a little dust after being buried, but the headless ghost did not despise it at all. He held the purse in his hands, and as if recalling the miserable memories of the past, he burst into tears.

While crying bitterly, the resentment of the headless evil ghost gradually disappeared, its body shape changed, its breath became smoother, its head and body fit together again, it lost the characteristics of an evil ghost, and became no different from an ordinary ghost.

Upon seeing this, the people who followed him glanced sideways, and looked at Nan Linghe with even more unusual eyes.

They could never have imagined that the place where Nan Linghe accidentally fell actually hid the lost item that the evil ghost had been searching for. His unique talent and magical power also helped him a lot invisibly.

"Thanks to Sister He, the evil ghost was able to fulfill his last wish and return to normal. If it weren't for Sister He, even if I killed all the thieves here, I wouldn't be able to soothe the pain in the evil ghost's heart and make it become the same as an ordinary ghost." Seeing this, Xia Wei was full of emotion.

Everyone praised Nan Linghe again and again. Surrounded by his family members like a star, Nan Linghe smiled calmly, not taking any credit for himself: "I didn't do anything. It was obviously Sister Mei who wanted to find the treasure. This is all her credit."

When Nan Linghe mentioned it, Hua Xiaomei smiled awkwardly. She really wanted to find some treasure, but in the end all she had was this purse.

Hua Xiaomei looked at the ghost next to her again. After recovering from his evil ghost state, he looked much more normal and communication became smoother.

The reason why evil spirits are feared by mortals is that they are driven by resentment, are often extremely vicious and difficult to communicate with, and have ferocious appearances, which is why people hate them.

Now, seeing the headless ghost restored to its original state, Hua Xiaomei also reminded: "There is nothing important in the purse you are looking for, right? If you put something precious, I am afraid it would have been taken away by those monks long ago and you can't find it back..."

The ghost replied repeatedly: "No, what I want is not the things in the purse, but the purse itself."

Xia Wei raised her eyebrows. Seeing that he was so interested in the purse, she couldn't help but ask, "This purse looks like an ordinary thing. Is there anything special about it?"

The ghost was silent for a moment before answering, "This is a relic my wife left me. To others, this purse is just an ordinary thing, but to me, it has a special meaning. After she died of illness, I brought all my assets, bought goods, and risked my life to cross the barrier of the continent to come here to do business, but ended up encountering a disaster. If it weren't for you heroes, I'm afraid I would die with regrets and no way to seek justice!"

At the end, he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Xia Wei and her group to express his gratitude for their kindness, but Xia Wei used the Dragon Catching Hand in time to stop him.

At the side, Hua Xiaomei said with emotion: "When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. Now that your obsession has disappeared and your last wish has been fulfilled, if you want to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation, I can give you a ride."

The ghost nodded and accepted the result. Having fulfilled his last wish, he had nothing else to ask for in this life and nothing to worry about. The right thing to do was to return to reincarnation as soon as possible and start the next life.

Hua Xiaomei was about to collect the soul, but suddenly hesitated and discussed with her family members beside her: "Wait a minute, we are now in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and we can't send the soul directly into reincarnation. Do we have to go all the way back to the old site of Guangwang Palace?"

Just as Hua Xiaomei said, after leaving Jambu Continent, she didn't know what to do to send the wandering soul into reincarnation, so she hesitated and felt confused.

When asked by Hua Xiaomei, Xie Xinyu also showed some thoughtfulness: "Perhaps we can borrow the reincarnation passage of the Eastern Yama Palace? The souls of the dead here also need to be sent into reincarnation. Otherwise, it will cause the yin and yang to be reversed and order to collapse. As long as we can find the ghost messengers here, we should be able to discuss it with them."

Li Ba crossed his arms and said, "Are you kidding? Wasn't that someone from the Golden Wheel Palace just now? He died at the hands of Sister Xia Wei. If we go looking for someone from the Golden Wheel Palace now, wouldn't that be a trap for us?"

Li Fei'e's eyes turned and she looked at Ren Changhong who was standing beside her. She had an idea:

"Everyone, please look at the Golden Wheel in front of Sister Hong. I heard that all the ghosts under the jurisdiction of the Golden Wheel Palace return to reincarnation by turning the Golden Wheel. Even though we have offended the people of the Golden Wheel Palace, the Golden Wheel is still there. Perhaps we can borrow the power of this object..."

Following Li Fei'e's words, everyone turned their eyes to the golden pillar. Their eyes lit up, and it seemed that this was indeed a feasible solution.

Hua Xiaomei was confused and asked, "This Golden Wheel is extremely powerful. It is unique to the Golden Wheel Palace. We don't even know how to control it. How can we use the power of the Golden Wheel?"

Li Ba also shook his head repeatedly: "This thing contains great power. Don't make things worse and blow up the Golden Wheel. I'm afraid none of us will be able to escape."

Xie Xinyu was very interested. She quickly came to the Golden Wheel and took a look. She felt the mystery hidden in the Golden Wheel and felt a little embarrassed:

"This does sound like a good idea, but who should be asked to activate the Golden Wheel? If I were to do it, with my level of accomplishment, I'm afraid the Golden Wheel would explode in no time, and I would also suffer a strong backlash."

Hearing this, Xia Wei also showed some curiosity: "Sister Xinyu, can you see the mystery of turning the golden wheel?"

Xie Xinyu nodded: "This item is worthy of being the signature item of the Golden Wheel Hall. It combines the power of formations, geomancy, talismans, and other great ways. If an ordinary person were to force it, I'm afraid it wouldn't work at all. Instead, it would be backfired by the power of the Golden Wheel. At the very least, they would lose all their cultivation, and at the worst, their souls would fly away and they would not be tolerated by the world."

After a pause, Xie Xinyu took a deep breath and said, "Although I am somewhat familiar with some unorthodox methods, I am only at a level of understanding. I am still far from those masters with profound attainments, so I cannot uncover the secrets of the Golden Wheel."

Everyone sighed. Even Xie Xinyu, who had the most knowledge and the broadest interests, was unable to use the power of the Golden Wheel. They wondered who should take over now.

Thinking of this, everyone turned their attention to Nan Linghe. Since strength is useless, they can only rely on luck.

"What are you looking at me doing?"

Being stared at by everyone, Nan Linghe shrank his neck uneasily and hid behind Xia Wei.

For some reason, Nan Linghe felt a deep repulsion towards the Golden Wheel and didn't want to get close to it. If her family wasn't here, she would have run away. Hua Xiaomei advised, "Sister He, this Golden Wheel is really mysterious. Maybe we can only rely on you to explore the mystery..."

No matter what Hua Xiaomei said, Nan Linghe refused to say a word. In the end, she even shook her head like a rattle and refused to come out from behind Xia Wei no matter what.

Nan Linghe's resistance surprised everyone. They didn't understand why she was so averse to turning the golden wheel. But even if they really asked her, she couldn't give any useful information. She just said that she didn't like it. This left everyone helpless.

If Nan Linghe doesn't like it, no one can force her. Luck is something that can't be forced. If you force it too hard, it may backfire.

Seeing everyone's depressed expressions, Xia Wei did not give up. She said loudly: "Even if we can't use the Golden Wheel, we still have other ways. As long as we find the ghost messenger of the Wushen Temple, we can still use the reincarnation channel of the Wushen Temple. There is no need to rush."

Everyone was encouraged by Xia Wei's words and nodded.

Xia Wei's words helped everyone find their target immediately. Since everyone had to go find the people from the Witch God Temple anyway, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with causing more trouble for the people there.

"Let me do it."

At this moment, a calm voice interrupted everyone's discussion. Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw that the person who said this was Ren Changhong, who had been studying in front of the golden wheel.

Hearing this, Shen Qingge covered his mouth slightly and asked with concern: "Master, this Golden Wheel is the signature item of the Golden Wheel Palace. Outsiders cannot operate it easily. If you operate it rashly, I am afraid there will be backlash. I am worried..."

Ren Changhong waved his hand and did not take Shen Qingge's advice to heart:

"Have you forgotten? I used to be the best ghost messenger in the Demon Palace. Do you think I did nothing in the Demon Palace for so many years, just practicing Shura skills? In order to complete the mission of the Demon Palace, I have traveled to all corners of the continent and had the opportunity to learn the secrets of the Golden Wheel. In terms of understanding the Golden Wheel, I should know more than all of you."

Ren Changhong's confident words made everyone's eyes light up. Unexpectedly, when everyone was about to give up, there was a sudden turn of events and she took the initiative to propose to give it a try.

Shen Qingge was still a little worried, but he couldn't disobey Master's decision, so he said, "Let me help from the side. If I find anything wrong, I will immediately terminate Master's connection with Zhuanjinlun and help Master escape from danger."

Ren Changhong raised the corners of his mouth, noticing her concern, and a little warmth surged in his heart: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

After saying that, Ren Changhong quickly stepped forward, placed his palms close to the golden wheel, lowered his shoulders, and chanted some mysterious spell.

"Look!"

Hua Xiaomei cried out in surprise. As Ren Changhong's chanting spread, the golden wheel, which had been calm and ripple-free, began to vibrate violently, emitting layers of golden light that made the surroundings holy.

Everyone noticed this unusual situation and were worried about Ren Changhong, who caused the change.

Xia Wei clenched her fists tightly. She was ready. If any backlash occurred, she would rush forward at the first moment and bear the power of the backlash for Ren Changhong.

Unlike everyone else who was filled with worry, Ren Changhong's expression remained unchanged, and she chanted a little faster. Her voice was sometimes near, sometimes far away, making it difficult to distinguish. Her tone was like that of a completely different person, sometimes low, sometimes hoarse, completely turning into a language that no one could understand. The Golden Wheel also revealed all its power under her chanting.

However, layers of golden lines appeared horizontally, dividing the tall stone pillars into dozens of layers. Each layer was rotating at a different speed, fast or slow, without end. Some layers were rotating in the opposite direction. Looking from a distance, it actually gave people a dizzying feeling.

Under Ren Changhong's chanting, the magical power of the Golden Wheel was gradually revealed to everyone. As time passed, the chanting did not decrease, but became stronger. At first, everyone only heard Ren Changhong's chanting. In the end, the sound turned into the resounding chanting of thousands of people. The grandeur in it made the whole sky tremble.

"Did you hear that?"

The voice that came to her ears made Hua Xiaomei's heart suddenly tighten. She had a vague feeling of unreality. Trembling inside, she couldn't help but ask her companions for confirmation. Only her companions' answers could firm her wavering heart.

"I heard."

Xia Wei nodded vigorously. The miraculous changes on the golden wheel were really beyond her expectations.

This change was unheard of by everyone. Except for the people inside the Golden Wheel Palace, the other ghost officials had no way of knowing about it, let alone stimulating the hidden power of the Golden Wheel.

Just as everyone was amazed, Ren Changhong seemed to have discovered something. A gleam of brilliance appeared in his eyes, and he uttered a sweet cry: "Here it comes!"

As Ren Changhong finished his words, spiritual power surged rapidly in an instant, and magnificent pictures were projected out from the rotating golden wheel. On the surface of the golden wheel, there were several rows of ancient and extraordinary golden characters, which contained extremely mysterious power.

"All phenomena are naturally empty in one thought, and the heart is fragrant and the land is connected."

"The six sense organs are in harmony with each other, and the three realms are transformed into a Vajra City."

"There is an endless road behind Bodhi, but there are a few deaf people in front of Ksitigarbha's door."

"The Dharma Realm is self-perfected, and all sentient beings attain great enlightenment..."

Seeing the mysterious words emerging on the golden wheel, Xia Wei's pupils contracted, and a hint of enlightenment flashed in her eyes. Spiritual power surged around her body, and layers of air waves burst out. She actually fell into enlightenment in front of everyone.

"Xia Wei... why did she suddenly realize it again?"

Seeing Xia Wei's current condition, Xie Xinyu opened his mouth wide, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

The sudden realization that ordinary people rarely encounter is so common for Xia Wei. Her unparalleled talent really makes Xie Xinyu envious.
