Chapter 372 Qiongyang Patriarch (Supplementary Chapter)
"Becoming an immortal through dissolving the weapons?" Chen Shi was stunned.

Bingjie is a kind of corpse transformation, and it is also a kind of escaping technique. There are many ways to transform a corpse. First, refine weapons such as swords, staffs, bamboo and other objects, and refine them into one's own body. When the life span is exhausted, use this body to confuse the ghosts, and your real body can be free.

When my grandfather held his own funeral, he used a method of fake death, which was a kind of corpse transformation.

If you choose to dissolve the weapon, you need to kill yourself with a magic weapon, abandon your physical body and cultivate the ghost immortal, and finally merge your soul with the Tao. This method ignores the physical body and only seeks to merge the soul with the Tao.

The Water and Fire Refining Technique uses the method of water and fire refining to preserve the physical body, which is very different from the method of military solution.

"If the soul is in harmony with the Tao, perhaps there will be no possibility of evil transformation." Chen Shi thought to himself.

But he immediately thought that in order for the soul to merge with the Tao, the Great Realm of the Void was also needed. Without the original star map to calculate the correct positions of the stars in the sky, it would be impossible to truly merge with the Tao, and he was afraid that it would still turn into evil.

So did these ancestors of Taihua Qing Palace really become immortals after they transformed themselves into soldiers?
If they become ghost fairies, will there be any evil changes?

Qingyang said: "We dug up almost all the graves of the chief masters. Among them, the empty graves are those of the fourth-generation chief master Guangxian, the seventh-generation chief master Daocheng, the sixteenth-generation chief master Jingxu, and the seventy-eighth-generation chief master Dancheng. Your grandfather suspected that they had become ghost immortals, merged with the Tao, and lived forever in the world."

He paused and said, "I've eaten their grave grass before. It's bland and tastes bad."

Chen Shi was stunned: "Can we tell whether a grave is empty from the grass on it?"

Qing Yang said, "Most likely. I just ate the grass on the graves of many headmasters and found that the grass on the grave of the headmaster who was almost killed by your grandfather was also a little dull... Black Pot, isn't it a little dull?"

Black Pot stood up and said seriously, "Woof!"

Chen Shi blinked his eyes: "Could it be that this headmaster has also transformed his corpse into a ghost immortal?"

Qingyang said: "Dig it up and you will know."

He said excitedly: "I have hidden a few Luoyang shovels in Qingyang Palace. They should not have been found by anyone. Black Pot, please help keep watch!"

Hei Guo nodded hurriedly.

A Taoist priest came and led Chen Shi to a guest room to rest. Chen Shi asked, "My junior brother, is Yu Lingzi on the mountain?"

The young Taoist said, "After Senior Brother Yu Lingzi came back from Xijing, his temperament changed drastically. When he was competing with several senior brothers from Taihua Qing Palace, he broke their fingers. He was punished by the headmaster to be confined, and is now in the Demon Suppression Cave."

Chen Shi said: "Where is the Demon-Suppressing Cave?"

The young Taoist pointed to a mountain not far away: "It's on Wenxu Peak. The cave with the rolling devilish energy is there."

Chen Shi looked towards Wenxu Peak, and saw that the mountain was glowing with elegance under the sunlight, but there was a faint demonic aura emanating from the mountain.

"Yu Lingzi is a Taoist priest of my Heavenly Palace. If he is imprisoned in Wenxu Peak all the time, wouldn't it delay him?"

Chen Shi left his residence and went straight to Qingyang Palace to find Qingyang, intending to ask him to plead for Yu Lingzi and release the little Taoist priest. However, he saw that Taihua Qing Palace was bustling with activity, and the Taoist priests were busy preparing for the celebration of welcoming the Immortal Sword back to the palace.

Qingyang has a big red flower hanging around its neck and is sitting on a high altar like a mascot, looking as if he has lost all hope in life.

He was surrounded by Taoists and people from the countryside, who offered cattle and horses as sacrifices to Qingyang.

Some of the sacrifices were simply sheep, bleating.

It is only a rehearsal at the moment. To truly welcome the Immortal Sword back to the palace, we will need to invite masters from the imperial court and other holy places to come and bear witness, which will make it more lively.

Seeing this, Chen Shi did not approach. At this time, a soft voice came from beside him: "Are you... Chen Shi?"

Chen Shi turned around and saw that the person who was talking was a beautiful woman, who seemed to be only about twenty years old, with skin as white as cream, bright eyes and white teeth. She was not wearing a Taoist robe, but a long goose yellow gauze dress that hung from her shoulders to her ankles, exposing her arms, with silk ribbons wrapped around her armpits and floating behind her head.

She had an immortal aura, ethereal and bright, with a gleam in her eyes, whether it was reflecting the sunlight or the glow emanating from her eyes being too bright.

Chen Shi nodded gently and said with a smile: "I am Chen Shi. Miss, who are you?"

The beautiful woman looked him up and down and said with a smile, "You have grown up. When I first saw you, you were lying in a coffin... You look more and more like your grandfather when he was young. I am Qiongyang. Was it you who sent back the Qingyang Patriarch and the Zhenwu Zhuxie Sword?"

Chen Shi said, "It's me. But Uncle Qingyang is only here to stay for a few days. He doesn't plan to stay long. Miss Qiongyang, you..."

He suddenly remembered something and stared at the beautiful woman blankly, stuttering, "You, you are the Qiongyang Patriarch?"

The beautiful woman couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you so surprised? Did your grandfather tell you about me? When you were in trouble, your grandfather came to find me and asked me to rescue you."

Chen Shi didn't believe it at all. The woman in front of him was the Qiongyang Patriarch who had a relationship with his grandfather Chen Yin. He thought that the Qiongyang Patriarch was already very old, an old woman or an old Taoist nun, but he didn't expect that she would be a fairy-like figure.

Chen Shi said honestly: "Grandpa never mentioned the ancestor."

Patriarch Qiongyang looked gloomy and said, "Which woman did he mention? Was it Madam Lingsu from the Tianshi Mansion? Or Li Huazhi from the Li family? Or Zhang Qiaoxi from the Zhang family? Or the nun Huiyin? In any case, it was definitely not Hua Li, she was just a little girl..."

Chen Shi said cautiously: "Grandpa never mentioned any woman's name to me."

Patriarch Qiongyang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It seems that in his eyes, we are still not as important as his Tao. But it's good, so we don't have to compete with them."

She looked at Chen Shi with her eyes rolling, and said, "Luckily it was you who came this time. If it was your father, I would have been unable to resist giving him a hard time. Humph, I wonder which wild woman he had the child with!"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Grandmaster, my father doesn't dare to come. Grandmaster, Yu Lingzi is imprisoned in the Demon Cave, can you let him out?"

"Yu Lingzi? It seems that he was punished to practice in the Demon Suppression Cave because he broke the fingers of several senior brothers."

Patriarch Qiongyang said, "This is a small matter."

She waved her hand, summoned a Taoist priest, took out a jade talisman and said, "Take my handwritten order and go to Wenxu Peak to release Yu Lingzi."

The Taoist said in embarrassment: "Yu Lingzi injured the master's disciple, and it was the master who locked him up..."

Patriarch Qiongyang had a frosty face and sneered, "Just go when I tell you to. Why are you so long-winded? If Changying doesn't let him go, I will lock him up in the Demon Suppression Cave and send him to reunite with his master!"

The Taoist didn't dare to speak, but nodded and flew away on his sword.

Patriarch Qiongyang looked at Chen Shi, his expression softened, and he said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm not usually like this, I have a very gentle personality, your grandfather knows that."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "I also think that the Grandmaster is a very gentle person."

Patriarch Qiongyang lowered his brows and smiled, looking very happy.

Taoist Changying hurried over and said with an apologetic smile: "Uncle Master Qiongyang, Yu Lingzi came back from Xijing. Because he did not participate in the imperial examination, a few brothers said a few words to him and he got very angry and broke someone's finger..."

Qiong Yang said: "After being detained for so long, he has reflected on himself."

Taoist Changying said, "All ten fingers of my disciples were broken by him. Even Uncle Ai, who tried to stop the fight, was grabbed by him. If he hadn't been more powerful than him, I'm afraid he would have broken his fingers as well."

Qiong Yang said: "It must be that Master Ai pointed his finger at him, so he grabbed his finger. This is not trying to stop the fight, but scolding."

Taoist Changying was about to say something, but Patriarch Qiongyang's expression turned cold: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will ask you to go down and accompany your master!"

Taoist Changying quickly said to the Taoist beside him: "Why don't you release them?"

The Taoist hurriedly said yes. The Qiongyang Patriarch stopped the Taoist and said, "Go to the headmaster and complain. I will punish you by spending a day in the Demon Suppression Cave!"

The Taoist looked pale and left in a hurry.

Qiong Yang glanced at Taoist Chang Ying and asked in surprise, "Master, why are you still here? Go and do your work. Chen Shi and I will take a look around."

Taoist Changying agreed and said, "Uncle Master, please don't make things difficult for Chen Shi. Chen Shi returned the sword to my master, which is a great favor to my master. I have ordered that the Taoists on the mountain should not say that the Chen family are all evil..."

Grandmaster Qiongyang smiled and said, "How could I embarrass him? When Xiao Shi died, I personally went to the underworld to save him. Go down, there is nothing for you to do here."

Taoist Changying breathed a sigh of relief and left.

Patriarch Qiongyang said to Chen Shi: "Don't misunderstand me. I am usually very gentle. The headmaster is not afraid of me."

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment, feeling that his previous judgment might have been a little wrong.

"I usually live in Qingluan Peak. When your grandfather and I were Taoist companions, we changed the name of Qingluan Peak to Hongluan Peak."

A cloud of auspiciousness appeared under the feet of Patriarch Qiongyang, carrying him and the black pot, and walked towards Qingluan Peak. Thinking of the past, his eyes were full of affection and he smiled, "That was really a crazy period. The Taoist nuns and Taoist priests on the mountain talked about me, and even my master couldn't help but persuade me to be more restrained. I scolded him and said, we are cultivating immortals and seeking the Tao, why do we have to wear Taoist robes? Why do we have to be ruthless? Lust is not the Tao? He didn't say anything. Later, your grandfather passed away, and I was so sad that I changed the name back to Qingluan Peak."

Her Cloud-Walking Technique was extremely fast. While she was speaking, she had reached Qingluan Peak and landed.

There is a green palace on the mountain, named Qingluan Palace, which also houses a bronze statue of the Green Sheep.

I think this place should have been called Hongluan Palace in the past.

There are women everywhere in Qingluan Palace. They are not wearing Taoist robes. They have the secret to maintaining their youthful looks, and their figures are graceful and light, which is dazzling.

Chen Shi felt the influence of the Lower Corpse God Peng Qiao on him, and quickly calmed down, asking curiously, "Master Qiongyang saved me before?"

Patriarch Qiongyang smiled and said, "How could I bear not to go when your grandfather asked me to? I thought that after he left Taihua Green Palace, he and I would be from two different worlds and would never meet again. I didn't expect that he would come back to beg me for you. When I saw him again, I thought I had forgotten him, but when I looked back, he was still there."

Many female Taoists in Qingluan Palace kept looking at Chen Shi and were very curious about him.

Grandmaster Qiongyang reprimanded them, "Stay away. Hasn't I been hurt enough? You are still throwing yourself into a flame and flirting with the man from the Chen family. You may think he's handsome, but he's actually a playboy! Xiao Shi, I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about your grandfather!"

Chen Shi has long been accustomed to it.

Patriarch Qiongyang drove them away and asked about Chen Yindu's daily life in the last few years. He asked in great detail, laughed for a long time, and sighed for a long time.

"Grandpa wouldn't have left so early if he hadn't saved me." Chen Shi felt a little sad.

Patriarch Qiongyang sighed, "He is old, and so am I. Perhaps in the future, I will go down to accompany him, so that no one will compete with me. Alas, I have practiced Taoism for a lifetime, hoping to achieve immortality, but I have not achieved immortality. Perhaps if I had been braver back then, and left everything behind to follow your grandfather and leave Taihua Qing Palace, then I might have been your real grandmother."

She felt a little sad when she said this.

The path has not been completed, but the love has been lost.

Looking back, all I feel is empty sorrow.

She now only has the secret to maintain her youthful appearance, but in fact she is already very old and only has a few years left to live.

Chen Shi thought of Madam Lingsu and hesitated for a moment, and did not tell her that Madam Lingsu was dead.

"Ancestor, who was the previous headmaster of Changying Taoist?" Chen Shi asked.

Patriarch Qiongyang said, "It was Senior Brother Jinghong. He was a few years older than me and passed away a few years ago. Back then, he was almost beaten to death by your grandfather."

"It turns out that he is the headmaster who was almost killed by my grandfather!" Chen Shi suddenly realized.

Patriarch Qiongyang asked in confusion, "Why are you asking about him?"

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment, and repeated Qingyang's discussion about the grass on the grave. He said, "Uncle Qingyang suspects that Master Jinghong may have become an immortal and is still alive."

Patriarch Qiongyang's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "When your grandfather and I dug up the ancestor's tomb, we did find a few empty coffins!"

Chen Shi stared at her in amazement. Grandmaster Qiongyang blushed and said in defense, "Who hasn't been reckless when they were young? I was particularly reckless at that time, and your grandfather was full of bad intentions, so I followed him and did this."

She quickly changed the subject, very proudly, and said: "Later, we were discovered by Qingyang, and your grandfather threatened him with the fact that he ate grass on graves, so Qingyang joined us. We dug up all the ancestors' graves... I have two Luoyang shovels here, which I have tempered into weapons. Later, you take one and I take another, and we will go to dig Jinghong's grave."

Chen Shi was startled and said quickly: "Grandmaster, how dare I do this? Besides, Uncle Qingyang and I have an appointment to take action tonight..."

Patriarch Qiongyang stood up, walked into the side hall, took out two golden Luoyang shovels, stuffed one into his hand, and said with a smile: "Qingyang is now worshipped as a lucky charm, and he can't get away for a few days! Let's not wait for him!"

Chen Shi put the Luoyang shovel into the small temple, his heart pounding.

Patriarch Qiongyang led him out, and at this time Yu Lingzi's voice came from outside: "Disciple Yu Lingzi, thank you for your plea!"

When the Qiongyang Patriarch walked out of the Qingluan Palace, Yu Lingzi stood outside with his head bowed. When he saw Chen Shi, he was surprised and delighted: "King Chen Zhen!"

He suddenly came to his senses and quickly changed his words, saying with a smile: "Uncle Chen, long time no see!"

Patriarch Qiongyang was a man of impetuous temperament. He glanced at him and said, "Yu Lingzi, come with us too. You can chat on the way."

Yu Lingzi was surprised and delighted, thinking: "The Grandmaster promoted me!"

He quickly caught up with the two and whispered, "Uncle Master, where are we going?"

Chen Shi said: "Go dig up the grave of Jinghong Sect Master."

Yu Lingzi shuddered, his face turned pale, and he really wanted to go back to the Demon-Suppressing Cave.

"Yu Lingzi and Hei Guo will spread the news later, and Xiao Shi and I will dig the grave!" said Patriarch Qiongyang.

Yu Lingzi secretly complained: "I just broke a few of my brothers' fingers, and I haven't thought about betraying my master..."

They soon arrived at the restricted area of ​​Taihua Qing Palace and entered the cemetery. Hei Guo patted Yu Lingzi on the shoulder, signaling him to follow him and be more careful.

Yu Lingzi had a sad face and watched with it.

Chen Shi and Qiongyang Patriarch wielded the Luoyang shovel, moving it as fast as the wind.

"I dug the wrong grave. This is not the grave of my master."

The voice of Qiongyang Patriarch came, "Master, I'm sorry... It should be the one next to it."

After a while, the coffin of Master Jinghong was opened.

There was nothing inside except a Taoist robe.
