Chapter 165: The Great Laws, a Dissenting Appearance! Zhang Fan's True Identity

Inside the office of the Laoshan Dojo, the air seemed to freeze, and it was as quiet as if one had fallen into a coffin.

The smile on Luo Baozhang's face gradually froze. He looked at Wei Qingsong with strangeness in his eyes. He didn't remember that his junior brother, who always thought highly of himself, would have such a face.

His back, which had always been as straight as a peak, was slightly bent. At this moment, in his eyes, it seemed that the only person left was this young man who came in from before dawn.

"You...you know each other?"

After all, Luo Baozhang had seen a lot of things in the world, so he quickly reacted and spoke to break the deadlock.

"Senior brother, let me introduce you, Brother Dao is..." Wei Qingsong said hurriedly.

"My name is Zhang Fan, and I'm from Ye Buliang."

At this moment, Zhang Fan took the initiative to speak and said straight to the point: "I came to disturb Director Luo because of the disappearance of our company employee Jiang Lai..."

"Sit down and talk." Luo Baozhang raised his hand and gestured.

Zhang Fan sat opposite Luo Baozhang. He turned his head to signal, and the Liu brothers stood behind him.

"As for Xiao Jiang's matter... I have been asking some of my connections to find out more these days, but there is no news..." Luo Baozhang remained calm and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Zhang Fan.

"Maybe he went to see some friends? Like a boyfriend or something?"

"No, even if I want to find a friend, I won't be unable to contact him." Zhang Fan shook his head.

Nowadays, communication is more advanced than in ancient times. If a normal person cannot be contacted at all, there are only two possibilities: either he did it intentionally, like Zhang Lingzong, or something happened by accident...

"I want to know where Jiang Lai went a few days before she disappeared? Who did she meet?" Zhang Fan asked.

"I'm not sure about this. You know, she's a woman, how could she possibly tell our Laoshan Taoist temple about her whereabouts?" Luo Baozhang picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"To be honest, I have already helped Brother Bai with Xiao Jiang's affairs, and we have done everything we can. She is a living person, and it is not up to others to decide where she wants to go."

Luo Baozhang's meaning was obvious. Such a living person should be responsible for his own actions. If it was really his own fault, then even if he was missing, it had nothing to do with their Laoshan Taoist Temple.

"So, Director Luo really took a lot of effort." Zhang Fan nodded and subconsciously looked at Wei Qingsong beside him.

Before coming, Bai Bu Ran had warned him that Luo Baozhang was not a very upright person. When he was practicing in Laoshan in his early years, he had difficulty keeping the austerity in the mountains. After coming down the mountain, he relied on his skills and connections to achieve his current status.

Jiang Lai's disappearance might have nothing to do with him, but if he was completely unaware of it, then he would have to think twice. Otherwise, why would he ask Wei Qingsong to come and support him? It would seem like he was trying to cover up something.

"Brother Dao, rest assured. Since Senior Brother Luo has done his best, I may be able to help with this matter."

At this moment, Wei Qingsong stood up and took charge.

After all, he is a member of the Dongshan Provincial Dao Alliance, so it should not be difficult to find someone in Dongshan Province.

"Brother Zhang, don't be anxious. With the help of Junior Brother Wei, your colleague should have some clues soon." Luo Baozhang said with a grin.

"But I am in a hurry."

Zhang Fan shook his head, his expression slowly darkening: "Director Luo really didn't reveal any information to me?"

"Um!?"

Luo Baozhang heard the coldness in Zhang Fan's words and raised his eyebrows: "Brother Zhang, I know you are anxious, but this is Dongshan Province. Sometimes, even if you are anxious to death, you have to be patient, otherwise you will suffer a great loss."

"To put it bluntly, if a woman is tempted by love, she might run away with a man... There are always some unexpected things in this world."

After saying this, Zhang Fan slowly stood up.

Seeing this, Wei Qingsong's expression changed slightly. He looked at Zhang Fan nervously and stood up.

"In that case, I really have to thank Director Luo for reminding me."

Wei Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Brother Zhang, there is a saying that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Now that you have arrived in Dongshan, if you want to get things done, you have to abide by the rules." Luo Baozhang squinted his eyes and chuckled.

"Really? Then I'll come and take a look at Director Luo's rules today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, he raised his head three feet, and a spirit soared into the sky.

"The soul has left the body, Brother Dao..." Wei Qingsong's face trembled violently and he cried out when he saw this.

"Young man, do you dare to do it here?"

Luo Baozhang's face turned grim, and a ferocious look flashed in his eyes.

He slapped his forehead, and his soul left his body. As soon as it left his body, he opened his mouth and spit out a round white bead, which looked like a white skeleton. There were gusts of cold wind and the sound of ghosts crying.

"The Bone Deification Technique!?" Wei Qingsong's eyes jumped.

This is a magic spell in Laoshan Taoism, which is extremely unconventional. It collects bones, tempers the primordial spirit, and gathers the Taiyin into a pill. Once it is practiced, a scene of bones will appear, which will be scattered all over the ground. The heart will be filled with evil obstacles, and terror will arise in all directions, which is designed to destroy the cultivation level.

This spell is extremely powerful, but it is difficult to practice. In ancient times, one would need to find a mass grave, collect bones, and repeatedly refine the spell. It would take at least ten years to master it.

In addition, during the cultivation process, one may be disturbed by inner demons, see piles of bones forming a mountain, or see dead souls everywhere in the underworld...

All these things are done to temper the spirit, and eventually one can develop a view of bones and practice the art of summoning spirits amid the dense mass of bones and yin energy.

Rumble…

As expected, as soon as Luo Baozhang's soul spat out the bead that looked like a skeleton, everyone's faces changed. The Liu brothers were shocked. Looking at their own hands, the flesh and blood had fallen off, leaving only bones...

The two looked at each other, and in each other's eyes, there was only a skeleton left.

"Brother, you have mastered the [White Bone Spirit Spell]?"

In the Laoshan sect, only one senior has practiced this magic in the past hundred years.

It is said that this senior was born in a turbulent time, saved three thousand souls, collected corpses and bones, and practiced hard for thirteen years before he mastered this art.

In today's era, it is not easy to find corpses and bones.

But Luo Baozhang was able to buy [White Bone Pill] as a substitute.

People outside say that Luo Baozhang has average talent and has relied on his skills and connections to achieve his current position. However, few people know that he has been practicing hard in secret, honing his spirit, and actually mastered this magic.

Wei Qingsong kept his mind focused, but was still affected. The living people in his eyes were reduced to nothing but bones.

Only then did he realize the power of this spell.

"Young people don't know how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is. I will teach you how to behave on behalf of your boss."

Luo Baozhang's soul let out a startled roar, and a round bead shot out towards him. Its white bones looked hideous, and it opened its mouth wide, ready to swallow Zhang Fan's soul.

Such a mysterious magic is worthy of the Laoshan tradition.

"Senior Brother, you can't..." Wei Qingsong said hurriedly.

"Don't worry, I will spare his life." Luo Baozhang sneered, showing his understanding.

"No..." Wei Qingsong was anxious.

Rumble…

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fan's soul shook violently, as if he yawned, and the horrifying vibrations actually caused cracks to appear on the white skeleton.

"This..." Luo Baozhang's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it.

Almost at the same time, Zhang Fan's soul opened his mouth and sucked, and actually swallowed the white skeleton alive.

Rumble... A loud noise came from Zhang Fan's soul, like a cold wind stirring, like the digestion of essence.

"My white bone qi!?" Luo Baozhang screamed in shock.

His [White Bone Spirit Summoning Technique] was entirely dependent on this [White Bone Qi] to perform. In order to refine this [White Bone Qi], he had spent countless amounts of money, and purchased countless great medicines from heaven and earth, rare treasures from the mountains and seas...

The most important of them was the [White Bone Pill]. Several years of hard work had been put into it to refine this [White Bone Qi]. Now, it was actually swallowed up by the young man in front of him.

"How could this happen?" Luo Baozhang panicked.

Rumble…

Zhang Fan didn't give him any extra time to think. He stretched out his soul and directly imprisoned Luo Baozhang's soul.

"Brother, please show mercy." Wei Qingsong shouted hurriedly.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with fear. Although he had already seen Zhang Fan's methods, the fear was even stronger when he felt the power of Zhang Fan's soul at such a close distance.

The method of summoning spirits through bones was nothing but a piece of cake in front of Zhang Fan's soul.

You must know that an ordinary soul, even if it is contaminated by a trace of the turbid energy of white bones, will have its cultivation regressed, its true yang will be scattered, and weaker souls will be shattered.

"You...who are you?"

Luo Baozhang's soul was shaking in Zhang Fan's hand, no longer arrogant. He couldn't understand why someone with such a high level of cultivation would be willing to be an employee in a small Ye Buliang shop! ?
"Brother Dao, calm down...Brother Luo didn't mean to offend you. I will apologize to you on his behalf."

Wei Qingsong hurried forward and looked at the Luo Baozhang in Zhang Fan's hand nervously.

"No need to apologize. I just want to know the whereabouts of my friend."

Zhang Fan spoke softly, his indifferent gaze directed at the soul of Luo Baozhang in his hand.

"I'll ask you again, do you know?"

"I don't know." Luo Baozhang gritted his teeth.

"Well, I hope you are the same inside and out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fan pointed out with one finger, and his soul suddenly rose up and naturally entered into Luo Baozhang's soul.

"This...this is..."

"The laws of the great sect are in appearance but not in spirit!?"

Wei Qingsong's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it.

Rumble…

At this moment, the inner scene of Luo Baozhang's soul was bright, with corpses and bones everywhere. On the dead tree next to him were also broken skulls, which looked like lanterns with candlelight.

Everyone’s soul is unique, with different realms, different techniques, different experiences... and the inner scene of the soul is also different.

Just like Zhang Fan, the inner scene of his soul is the most terrifying, it is the calamity of a cultivator, the night is dark and dark.

"Junior sister, I stole this cup of Qiu Zuinong from my master. Please try it."

"Brother, you are so kind to me."

Zhang Fan’s soul walked in the inner scene and saw a part of Luo Baozhang’s past.

The power of being in appearance but not in spirit lies in that once you invade the other party's soul, you will be able to see through the other party's secrets, and all the past events will appear before your eyes one by one like turning the pages of a book.

"Brother, my body is so hot, what...what did you do?"

"Junior sister, you will be mine sooner or later. Why don't you practice with me as soon as possible? When I enter the level of [Disciple], I will be qualified to go down the mountain and be sent out."

"You are shameless... What are you doing? Get out... Wait a minute, wait a minute... Where is my husband... Where is my husband?"

It was a hazy night, and under the dim light, two figures were entangled together like a giant snake, while outside there was a storm, lightning and thunder.

Zhang Fan watched it several times, as if he was there, but he didn't find any clues.

These are Luo Baozhang’s memories from when he was in his twenties, so they naturally have nothing to do with Jiang Lai.

hum...

Zhang Fan's soul wandered in the inner scene, and the light and shadows around him jumped faster and faster. Finally, Jiang Lai's shadow appeared...

This should be a recent memory. Jiang Lai escorted [White Bone Dan] to the Laoshan Dojo, and left after making friends with him.

There is nothing special about this memory.

Zhang Fan fast-forwarded again, and suddenly, a familiar voice came from the flickering light and shadow.

He immediately froze, and saw in the light and shadow, Luo Baozhang received a phone call after seeing Jiang Lai off, and then he walked back and forth in the office, as if waiting for someone...

A moment later, a figure walked into his office. It seemed to be a woman, tall, wearing black stockings, high shoes, and a sun hat, looking sexy and charming.

As soon as the man came in, Luo Baozhang stepped forward to greet him, appearing extremely respectful.

"Jiang Lai, I didn't expect this girl to come to Qilu City. She was also responsible for ruining my plans at Taoyuan Square..."

At this moment, the sexy and charming woman actually made a magnetic and low voice like a man. She slowly took off her sun hat and revealed her true face.

"Hai Pig, Wang Tao!"

Zhang Fan's expression changed slightly, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"How dare you collude with the thirteen zodiac animals!"

Rumble…

In the office, Zhang Fan's soul returned to his body and he looked coldly at Luo Baozhang, who was like a madman, dancing and shouting, "Haizhu... Haizhu asked me to do it, I'll tell you everything..."

"Brother, you..."

When Wei Qingsong heard this, his eyebrows twitched and he looked at Luo Baozhang in disbelief. He had heard an incredible secret from just these few words.

His senior brother, the master of the Laoshan Taoist Gym, actually colluded with the demons of the thirteen zodiac animals! ?
“They appear to be in harmony but their hearts are far apart… They really are in harmony but their hearts are far apart!!”

At this moment, Wei Qingsong's face was solemn. He subconsciously looked at Zhang Fan and became even more frightened by his methods.

The [Great Laws of the Baihe Temple, in appearance but not in spirit], once mastered, can invade the souls of others and do whatever one wants.

He never expected that this employee who claimed to be from Ye Buliang not only had a letter of introduction from the Jiangnan Provincial Dao League, but also had the background of Baihe Temple.

"Who is he? He is so young, yet he possesses the authentic secret magic of Baihe Temple..." Wei Qingsong's mind raced.

He himself was from Laoshan and had been in the Dongshan Provincial Dao League for many years, so he knew a little about the above matters.

Baihe Temple itself is one of the permanent directors of the Dao League. There are many masters under its tutelage, and there are precedents of sending them to the Dao Leagues of various provinces and cities for training. Most of these people are gifted and have high hopes, so their backgrounds, resumes, and even their names are all new, and they start from the grassroots...

However, there are only a handful of people at this age who have such a high level of cultivation and such terrifying strength...

At this moment, a name emerged in Wei Qingsong's mind, a name unknown to the outside world, but secretly cultivated by Baihe Temple and regarded as a successor...

"Li Changgeng!?"

Wei Qingsong's eyes jumped as he looked at Zhang Fan, a bold guess arose in his mind.
