Chapter 154: The Soul's Warning! Taoist Magical Power, Rejuvenation (5k Chapter)

Late at night, Hongfu Garden.

Zhang Fan returned home and subconsciously looked at the clock hanging on the wall. The time was exactly eleven o'clock.

Usually at this time, Li Yishan would have returned home and stayed indoors.

This is a good habit he has developed over the years. It has to be said that his family tradition is so strict that it has almost become a quirk.

"Candy Crush Funeral Home!?"

Zhang Fan glanced over and saw a business card on the table.

"Liu Xingyu!"

Zhang Fan picked up the business card. This was the business card he brought back from the Candy Crush Funeral Home with Sui Chunsheng and others last time.

According to Zhan Xinyue, this "corpse burner" is quite popular in pornographic books. Compared with "Thousand-year-old Monster", he is better at marketing and creating personalities.

A young man who is proficient in Taoist magic, in the dead of night, is burning a corpse and collecting ashes in a funeral home, and encounters all kinds of bizarre events...

Such personality and posts can indeed attract a lot of traffic and a large number of fans.

In fact, this Liu Xingyu does have his outstanding qualities.

Later, Zhang Fan heard from Bai Bu Ran that he was practicing a type of fire magic from the Zhenwu Mountain called [Jiang Gong Li Huo]. Although it relied on the power of the heart fire and was a bit opportunistic, it was extremely powerful.

Last time, Zhang Fan had seen it in Candy Crush.

Bai Bu Ran also said that Liu Xingyu could be considered a disciple of Zhenwu Mountain and would return to the mountain for meditation every year.

Of course, they don’t charge for their retreats.

In addition, Liu Xingyu has an older brother named Liu Xingchui, whose cultivation is even more unfathomable. They both work in Candy Crush Saga.

In fact, all Taoist sects have industries in the mortal world, and their disciples are sent here to gain experience for three to five years, and then they will be cultivated when they return to the mountains.

Of course, there are also many people who have entered the worldly world, become obsessed with desires, and become polluted. They can no longer make progress in their Taoist practice, and are considered to have not withstood the test. From then on, they focus on managing their disciples' business, which can be considered to be the best use of everything and everyone's talents.

Among these people, if they can temper their hearts in the worldly affairs, and in the rolling sea of ​​desire, their Tao hearts will be firm, and their primordial spirits will be like real gold refined by fire, and then return to the mountains to practice hard, most of them will achieve considerable success.

Among them, the most famous is Liu Nanxu, the youngest of the three great heavenly masters of Zhenwu Mountain.

He had been in Yujing City for nearly twenty years.

Twenty years of worldly life had tempered his mind, but had never tainted his aspirations for the Tao. His cultivation had improved greatly, and his supernatural powers were immense. He was one of the greatest Taoist masters in the world.

"Why do I have a connection with the crematorium?" Zhang Fan looked strange.

Li Yishan's cheap mother returned to Yujing City and unexpectedly established a connection with the Xiaoxiaole Funeral Home.

I have to say that Zhang Fan does have a special connection with this crematorium.

"I don't want this kind of fate."

Zhang Fan curled his lips, returned to his room, took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, adjusted his breathing, and sat cross-legged in meditation.

He benefited a lot from his enlightenment at the Jiangnan Provincial Dao League, especially Li Linglong's mind-transmitting method, which gave Zhang Fan hope of breaking through to the [High Power] level.

"Killing turns to life, and lotus is planted in the fire."

Zhang Fan's soul left his body and he comprehended the mystery.

clang... clang... clang...

Suddenly, a sound of chains colliding was heard within Zhang Fan’s soul, heavy and mysterious.

Then, a picture seemed to be projected from the air, with light and shadow condensing into a building that looked like a coffin.

"Candy Crush Funeral Home!?"

Zhang Fan's eyebrows twitched, and his soul felt a strange fluctuation, which was actually transmitted from the light and shadow.

Especially in a room on the top floor of the building, there was fog everywhere. There was mystery in the haze and terror in the chaos.

From what Zhang Fan's soul saw, there seemed to be a figure sitting cross-legged in the strange fog, with a shadow pressing down behind him. With a slight perception, the sound of heavy chains colliding in his soul became more and more intense.

call……

At this moment, Zhang Fan suddenly opened his eyes, his spirit returned to his body, and he woke up from the strange state just now.

"what happened!?"

Zhang Fan's face was solemn. He had never encountered such a situation since he came down from Zhenwu Mountain and started practicing Taoism.

The soul was restless, as if giving a warning, as if it sensed an unprecedented danger.

"Candy Crush? There's something really wrong with that place, but why do I feel uneasy?"

Zhang Fan’s brows suddenly formed the shape of a “川” character. He walked to the window and looked in the direction of the Candy Crush Saga.

He heard from Bai Bu Ran that the director of Xiaoxiaole was named Meng Qingtong, who practiced hard in Zhenwu Mountain in his early years. Ten years ago, he came to Yujing City and took over the Xiaoxiaole Funeral Home.

Although Bai Bu Ran and he were from the same school, they did not have much in common.

Meng Qingtong was a solitary man, like an old widower living alone, and he hardly ever interacted with the Taoist circles in Yujing City.

Apart from that, there was nothing special about the funeral home. After all, it was a property under the name of Zhenwu Mountain.

"Dang...dang...dang..."

Even though his soul had returned to his body, the mysterious and illusory sound of the chains colliding still echoed in Zhang Fan's mind, making him feel a little upset.

"There must be something wrong with the abnormality."

Zhang Fan murmured softly, picked up a coat, and walked out of the house.

……

The suburbs of Yujing City.

The moon is especially round tonight. The jackdaws on the branches are looking at the moon and making strange cooing sounds.

When Zhang Fan drove the Five Spirits Rainbow Light to the Xiaoxiaole Funeral Home, a cordon had been set up around the area, with the name of the Jiangnan Provincial Road Alliance written on the horizontal cordon.

"Is there really a problem? Has everything been sealed off?" Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment. Before his car stopped, four or five staff members surrounded him, each holding a shining talisman in their hands, with their true yang surging, as if they would offer the talisman at any time.

"Who are you? Put your hands on your head and get out of the car immediately!"

The leading man held up a talisman, pointed at Zhang Fan and warned him sternly.

"This... You don't think I'm a criminal, do you?"

Zhang Fan curled his lips, but still cooperated and opened the car door.

"I told you to put your hands on your head and get out of the car. What are you doing?"

Suddenly, the leading man seemed to respond to the stress, and his true yang surged, actually pouring into the talisman in his hand. A red flame slowly rose up and slowly took shape like an arrow.

"How the hell am I going to get off the car with my hands on my head?" Zhang Fan's eyes twitched and he couldn't help but curse.

"Pull it out?"

"You still dare to quibble?" The leading man looked stern and was ready to take action.

"All right."

At this moment, a stern voice came from the darkness, and then a big hand fell on the man's wrist, extinguishing the talisman that was about to be cast.

"Team Leader Chunsheng."

When the leading man saw the person coming, he quickly straightened up and said respectfully.

"One of our own."

Sui Chunsheng glanced at Zhang Fan, raised his hand to signal, and then ordered everyone to leave.

"never mind."

Sui Chunsheng looked at Zhang Fan, and although he was a little surprised, he still greeted him.

"No, your law enforcement is too rigid and rigid. Don't you have any sense of propriety or warmth?"

Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows and glared at the man who looked fierce but was actually weak.

"You're right. Some of us now only care about form, not method."

Sui Chunsheng nodded, swept his sharp eyes over the people who had just surrounded him, and said in a deep voice.

"Don't forget, we are the people's Taoist priests!"

After these words were spoken, Zhang Fan could not help but look at Sui Chunsheng twice more. Putting aside his cultivation level, judging from his tone, Sui Chunsheng would have a bright future in the Taoist Alliance.

"Why are you here?"

Sui Chunsheng turned around and looked at Zhang Fan, with a hint of suspicion in his words.

Their Taoist alliance has an extremely important mission tonight. Although Sui Chunsheng had greeted Zhang Fan before, if there is any action in the future, they may have to ask him for help.

However, this time the operation was extremely secretive, and only those involved in the operation were notified half an hour before departure.

Therefore, when meeting Zhang Fan here, even Sui Chunsheng had to ask a few more questions.

"I was practicing at home and felt that the weather here was a bit abnormal, so I came to take a look." Zhang Fan said casually.

What he said was true.

"You have a pretty sharp sense." Sui Chunsheng glanced at him meaningfully, then said, "Since you're here, it's a good opportunity to stay and help."

Regardless of whether what Zhang Fan said was true or not, since he was involved, he naturally couldn't be let go, otherwise if something went wrong, Sui Chunsheng would have to take the blame. "What's going on here?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

"You are a disciple of Zhenwu Mountain, so you just stayed to be a witness, so that you won't be confused later."

Sui Chunsheng said in a deep voice: "Our mission tonight is to capture Meng Qingtong."

"The owner of the Candy Crush Club? Did he commit a crime?"

Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment. He had a vague feeling that his abnormality just now might be related to this person. His soul’s warning showed how serious the danger was.

"Do you remember I told you that Ma Buting's senior sister came to Yujing City?" Sui Chunsheng suddenly changed the subject.

"Remember." Zhang Fan nodded.

Ma Buting's [Jiangzhenxiang] was brought by his senior sister, and it helped him break through to the [Gaogong] level.

"His senior sister came with clues and a mission to track down a treasure that was lost by the Taoist Alliance." Sui Chunsheng said in a deep voice.

"Treasure? What treasure?" Zhang Fan asked curiously.

"That thing was found in a village at the foot of Mount Zhongnan in Qinxi Province..." Sui Chunsheng said in a serious tone.

Livestock and poultry in local villagers' homes disappeared one after another. At first, it was thought that they were killed by wild beasts in the mountains. Later, it was discovered that something had happened to an old cow in one villager's home.

The old bull suddenly became extremely strong, especially at night, and someone saw it swallow a foal alive.

This incident alarmed the Taoist priests in Zhongnan Mountain. At first, they thought that the old cow had become a monster. After killing it, they found that the reason for its sudden change was that it had swallowed a piece of tile.

"Tiles!?" Zhang Fan was stunned.

"Although that thing is a dead object, Zhongnan Mountain is one of the top ten Taoist sects in the world after all. After research by the masters of the sect, it was confirmed that the thing is..." Sui Chunsheng paused, a solemn look in his eyes.

"what?"

"Three Corpse Yuandan!"

"Huh? That tile is the Three Corpses Yuandan?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but reveal a strange expression.

The Three Corpses Yuandan is a special item refined by the Three Corpses Taoist using the [Small Spirit Dissociation Method]. It is equivalent to a backup of the soul and has no consciousness itself, just like a dead object.

Zhang Fan thought that thing was just like a pill.

"The Three Corpses Yuandan could be anything and has no specific form." Sui Chunsheng said in a deep voice.

"If it has not been activated, it is dead. It can only be activated if it encounters the soul."

The initially activated [Three Corpses Yuandan] also has no consciousness, but the person who possesses it can obtain special powers, especially the memories and experience of the Three Corpses Taoist priests contained in it. Even if only one tenth of them is obtained, it is a huge fortune.

"In theory, once that thing is revived, it will have the opportunity to grow and transform into a new soul." Sui Chunsheng said.

"And if it can sense the other backup [Three Corpse Yuandan] and swallow and fuse it, it can greatly shorten the transformation process."

Sui Chunsheng looked unhappy.

Normally speaking, the Three Corpses Yuandan is just a backup of the soul. Once the original soul is extinguished, even if this thing is activated and revived under specific conditions, it will take at least a hundred years to slowly transform into a new soul.

This is the disadvantage of the small distraction method.

But if the Three Corpses Taoist priest left behind more than one [Three Corpses Yuan Dan], then the [Three Corpses Yuan Dan] with a high degree of resurrection could greatly shorten this process by absorbing the others as nutrients.

"Are you saying that Meng Qingtong stole the Three Corpses Yuandan?!" Zhang Fan said in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid that's the case. Now I just hope that Taoist Sanshi has only left this one Yuandan. If we can control it, the situation won't be too bad." Sui Chunsheng said in a deep voice.

For the Taoist sects in the world, the Three Corpses Pill is a taboo. After searching for it for many years, finally there is one that slipped through the net.

“No wonder it’s such a big scene.” Zhang Fan looked at the defenses around Candy Crush. There were more than twenty masters on the periphery, all of them were masters carefully selected by the Taoist Alliance.

"He can't run away even if he has wings."

Sui Chunsheng shook out a photo. It was a man who seemed to be in his fifties or sixties. He had a hunched body, messy hair, and cloudy eyes.

"This is Meng Qingtong!?"

In Yujing City, anyone who practices Taoism has a file in the Jiangnan Province Taoist Alliance, even new faces like Zhang Fan are no exception.

"Let's go, Ma Buting and his senior sister have already gone in." Sui Chunsheng called out.

"Do you have any evidence?"

Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask more questions. After all, this place was also considered to be Zhenwu Mountain's property.

"On the way here, I just happened to meet a young man who escaped from here..." Sui Chunsheng said coldly.

"This is really a crime sent by heaven. He deserves to have his sins exposed to the world."

Meng Qingtong obtained the [Three Corpses Yuandan] and comprehended the secrets therein. He actually used the souls of living people to practice Taoism. The funeral home was the best cover. He even used evil methods to make people fake their death and then take their souls after moving them here.

The young man was a fresh hostage, who escaped while the warrior was practicing martial arts.

"I was so scared that I couldn't even speak. He Ningyan has already taken the victim to identify him."

As he spoke, Sui Chunsheng led Zhang Fan into the building.

The empty hall was still freezing cold, especially at night, when it was like a morgue.

Rumble…

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly occurred, echoing in the hall.

Zhang Fan was still far away, so he put Ma Buting and He Ningyan side by side. Confronting them were two young men, one of whom was Liu Xingyu whom he had met last time.

As for the other person, he looks somewhat similar to him, so he should be Liu Xingyu's brother, Liu Xingchui.

Next to him, there was a young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, huddled behind Ma Buting, his tattered clothes covered in blood, his skin as white as paper, as if he had not been exposed to sunlight for years, his body trembling like a frightened little animal.

"Is he the victim?" Zhang Fan's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked him up and down.

"Um!?"

Sui Chunsheng and Zhang Fan came over and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Ma Buting took a glance and was a little surprised, but he didn't care too much. After all, he was now at the [High-level] level and was no longer the same as before. Naturally, he didn't take Zhang Fan seriously as before.

As for He Ningyan, she didn't even move her head. In the Jiangnan Provincial Taoist Alliance, she saw that Zhang Fan had gone astray in his training. He was forcing himself to practice fire magic and had become possessed. This kind of person was not worth her attention.

However, Liu Xingyu couldn't help but look at Zhang Fan twice more. He didn't expect that he would come too.

"You have searched this place from top to bottom, and we don't know where Director Meng has gone."

At this moment, Liu Xingchui's voice rang out in the cold hall.

"We are not aware of the crimes you mentioned about Director Meng."

"Whether you know or not will only be known after you go back and cooperate with the investigation." Ma Buting said coldly.

Ever since he was promoted to [High-ranking Master], he has regained his former composure and self-confidence, and his airs are so great that they fill the whole world.

"High Master!?" Liu Xingchui narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Ma Buting and sneered.

"One inch higher is like a world of difference. Do you want to see how high your achievements are?"

"So, you guys want to take action?"

He Ningyan raised her jade hand slightly. She remained calm, but her indifferent voice revealed an irresistible majesty.

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink."

Ma Buting sneered, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Let's go!"

At this moment, Zhang Fan suddenly shouted loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

"What are you crazy about?" Ma Buting was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became strange.

Today is the day for the Taoist Alliance to take action. He Ningyan hasn't spoken yet, and he hasn't expressed his opinion either. Zhang Fan's sudden action makes him unhappy.

"He has a problem..."

Zhang Fan gritted his teeth and pulled Sui Chunsheng back violently.

puff...

Before he finished speaking, before anyone could even react, a flash of blood splattered, spreading ten steps away, and a broad palm pierced through Ma Buting's chest...

"Tsk tsk... didn't he let you go? He couldn't even keep you alive..."

At this moment, a cold laugh rang in everyone's ears, and strange looks were cast on them one after another. The young man who was shivering just now now had a faint smile on his face, revealing a bit of satisfaction.

His palm was like a sharp blade, slowly withdrawing from Ma Buting's chest, but his deep and cold gaze fell on Zhang Fan.

"You are really young and promising. So many people didn't notice it, but you figured it out."

"Young man, your name is Zhang Fan!" the young man whispered.

"You are..." Zhang Fan's face was solemn, as if he had guessed something.

"I am Meng Qingtong!"

As he spoke, the young man took off his tattered clothes, revealing his smooth and strong body. The skin on his right arm was loose and wrinkled, but at this moment it was growing and filling out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Taoist magical power, rejuvenation!?" He Ningyan's face suddenly changed.
