Hidden moth

Chapter 264: The Breeze Enters the Palace Curtain

It's just an online name that was used twenty years ago, and it can't be considered conclusive evidence, but such clues certainly can't be regarded as just coincidences, and they still need to be investigated.

He Kao frowned and said, "Xiang Rui has returned to the sect for fifteen years and now serves as the deacon of the Danding Sect. You should know who is more trustworthy between her and Zhang Jinkui."

Li Xiuyuan could certainly hear the hidden meaning behind these words. He smiled slightly and said, "Zhang Jinkui doesn't know much about the Shu Sect, and he has never heard of Xianrui.

I just found a clue based on the information he provided. Now that I have discovered something, I can't pretend not to see it, otherwise I will be the one with the problem.

By the way, let me tell you that Xianrui is also the heir of Jianji Palace..."

After Xianrui returned to the sect, the Shumen investigated and verified that his master had also practiced in Jianji Palace, and later went to another Taoist temple, and one of the disciples he accepted was Xianrui's master.

Throughout history, Jianji Palace had many disciples of various sects, not just descendants of Xingshen Sect. After Jianji Palace was abandoned, these sorcerers wandered around, and some left their descendants in the martial arts world.

When Xianrui returned to the sect fifteen years ago, he verified his past behavior and said it was Danding Sect's business. Why did he ask Li Xiuyuan to help secretly?

On the one hand, the methods mastered by the monks of Xingshen Sect make it convenient to conduct many investigations. On the other hand, her lineage can be traced back to Jianji Palace.

No one outside knew what the old man and the young man said next. No one knew what Li Xiuyuan wanted He Kao to do for him this time. But before leaving, Li Xiuyuan told He Kao another thing.

That day in Chang Anju's orthopedic hospital, Li Xiuyuan sent He Kao away and talked with Chang Anju alone for a long time.

He told Chang Anju that except for the content of his encounter with the mysterious monk "Huo Qing" in Sawa Country that had been reported to the Information Office of the Clan Hall, all other details must be kept confidential in the future.

Chang Anju was not surprised by this. He remembered Huo Qing once told him that the reason he appeared in Sawa Country was to carry out a secret mission of the Patriarchal Hall, so his identity and origin were not convenient to be disclosed.

However, Li Xiuyuan also reminded Chang Anju that Huo Qing was an absolutely trustworthy person, and if they met him again in the future, the relevant circumstances needed to be kept confidential.

Why did the old man give such instructions? The meaning was obvious: if He Kao had any problems in the future as Yin Mo, he could go to Chang Anju for help.

When Gu Chun discovered Lan Jiuwan, he handed him over to He Kao to deal with. His intention was to let He Kao recruit him into his own team. As the leader of the Yin'e Sect, he couldn't always be alone.

Li Xiuyuan may have the same idea about Chang Anju, but the way of arrangement is slightly different, after all, the specific circumstances are different.

The next day, I returned to work. Supervisor Gao had taken a week off, and the department's business was temporarily in charge of Deputy Supervisor Huang. Mei Guyu from next door also came back to work and looked no different from everyone else.

He Kao did not go to the cafeteria for lunch and seemed very busy at his workstation. When a colleague asked him about it, he said that he was losing weight... After get off work, he went home as usual, entered the secret room on the third floor, closed the door, and then came to Piaocai Cave Heaven again.

Sitting at the entrance of the Xianhuju cave, with my feet dangling on the cliff, fiddling with the heavenly palace curtain hanging beside me, and gazing at the starry night sky, I feel that practicing Buddhism should be so boring and free.

But there are some people who always like to stir up trouble!

As the night deepened, He Kao returned to Xianhuju, brewed a pot of tea and took a jade sycamore seed. He disappeared from the spot again, and the next moment he appeared at Longlinpo where he had visited last night.

He quietly used stealth skills to go down the mountain, and combined with the Ren Di Ban Xing technique of the Xin Pan Sect, he passed through the rolling mountains and jungles, and did not even disturb the night birds, and came to the vicinity of Xianhuping.

Xianhuping is a basin surrounded by mountains on all sides, with an area of less than one square kilometer. There is a natural village here called Xianhu Village, with a registered population of more than 800.

The Danding Sect's Xianhu Cave Heaven is located behind the village, and a natural cave dwelling in the nearby mountains is the Xianhu Residence. Because the topography of the eight major magic sects' cave heavens mirrors the real-life Fengwei Township, each cave heaven also contains a Xianhu Residence.

If ordinary people want to reach Xianhu Village, they have to follow the highway through the valley in the mountains to enter Fengwei Township, then go east through three tunnels in succession and pass through two other natural villages.

This place has been almost isolated from the outside world since ancient times, but now transportation has become very convenient. Cars can drive directly into the village, and the village has water, electricity and the Internet.

These tunnels were only opened in recent decades.

Of course, He Kao didn't take the highway tonight, but instead approached from the northern mountains. His greatest advantage was his ability to teleport within the range of his spiritual awareness, leaving almost no trace.

Xianhu Village is beautifully built. Almost every household has a two-story building with a very simple style. They are distributed in a staggered manner and have all kinds of modern supplies in the house.

As a deacon of the Danding Sect, Xianrui also has a residence in Xianhu Village. It is a small farmyard on the edge of the village, surrounded by a bamboo fence. A plaque with the words "Xianrui Ju" is hung on the gate.

The deacon called herself Xianrui Jushi, and her residence was also named Xianrui Ju. It sounded like a cafe, but looked like a farmhouse. Xianrui Ju had a large terrace on the second floor, furnished with tables and chairs. The edge of the terrace was paved with bricks, filled with soil, and planted with a circle of creeping plants, which draped down to the first-floor windows, blocking the view from the outside world.

He Kao stopped in the mountains a kilometer away. Xianhu Village was home to many experts, including at least one high-level sorcerer. Xiong Rui was a fifth-level herbalist from the Danding Sect, so getting too close would easily lead to discovery.

He Kao used the technique of traveling with his soul and floated from high altitude to above Xianhu Village.

The range of the primordial spirit's wanderings does not exceed the reach of the divine consciousness, so what is the difference between the two? Since the divine consciousness can reach a place, why would we still float over it like a ghost?

The difference is quite obvious. If you use spiritual consciousness to investigate directly, it is equivalent to extending an invisible hand to touch. When you "touch" the other person, if the other person also has spiritual consciousness, he or she will also sense it.

When the soul is traveling, it cannot be discovered unless the other party actively uses some means to investigate. However, He Kao should also pay attention to maintaining a state of "observing without thinking", and it is best not to get too close.

He was floating in the air, overlooking the entire Xianhu Village, like looking up at a god three hundred feet above. He Kao didn't realize when he had become so courageous that he dared to explore Xianhu Village at night!

Of course, this is also due to the support of Elder Li.

Then he saw four people coming out of the tunnel. Without alerting the other villagers, they went straight to Xianruiju. There were two tunnels in Xianhu Village, one leading to Yujing Village in the west and the other to Dengyun Village in the east.

These people came out of the west tunnel, which was also the direction of the township government. The leader was Li Xiuyuan, followed by two men and one woman, but He Kao only knew Wan Zhongle.

Wan Zhongle is also one of the deacons of Danding Sect. In October of the previous year, he had one leg broken in Qiyuan and was punished to be confined for a year. Now his leg has long been healed and the punishment ended half a year ago.

They were here to find Xi Rui, and since they had uncovered suspicious clues, they couldn't just turn a blind eye. But for someone like Xi Rui, a senior figure who had contributed so much to the sect, it wasn't easy to do anything behind her back. The best way was to communicate directly in person.

The most suitable person for this kind of work is the high-level sorcerer from Xingshen Sect or Wangqi Sect. Due to Xiongrui's identity, Elder Li came in person. According to the rules of the clan hall, he also brought three deacons.

Someone from Danding Sect must be present, namely Wan Zhongle, and the other two deacons are from Wangqi Sect and Lingxi Sect respectively.

Xianrui had been waiting for them in the hall. After the door closed, outsiders had no idea what was said inside. He Kao also descended and approached nearby, quickly circling the area before slowly moving around to observe.

Elder Li did not ask him to investigate anyone in particular, but just asked him to come and see if there was anything noteworthy around here.
The Yin Spirit was invisible, so he could penetrate walls and get into houses, but he couldn't do that easily because he might be discovered. Furthermore, he couldn't enter some houses in the village, not even the courtyards.

There should be magic arrays set up in those places that can block or interfere with spiritual consciousness, and can also restrict Yin gods... Let's call them Yin gods for now.

He floated like this for quite a long time, and there was no movement from Xiongruiju. Perhaps out of curiosity, He Kao quietly crossed the bamboo fence and entered the yard, trying to approach the house from the side, but found that he was blocked.

The Yin Spirit was disturbed by some kind of vines hanging from the terrace... There were actually heavenly curtains planted here as well.

The Heavenly Palace Curtain is a spiritual plant with very demanding growing conditions. Deacon Xianrui must have his own unique method for cultivating it. It's one of the raw materials for refining the Awakening Incense, but only plants over a century old and still maintaining vigorous vitality meet the requirements.

The vines of the Heavenly Palace Curtain here are very thin and only about ten years old at most. Of course, they cannot meet the requirements for refining the awakening incense, but they can still confuse the mind.

The leaves of the Tiangong Curtain will shed in winter, but Xiong Rui also planted another vine that looks like a green ivy. It still has lush green leaves in this season, blocking the view of the distant scenery outside the window.

It's hard to see clearly and it's hard to get past it. There's no good way to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, he could see Tiangonglian here as well. He Kao couldn't help but think of what he did in Piaocai Cave yesterday. He helped Tiangonglian "take" a Spirit-awakening Pill.

The scene at that time was somewhat similar to when he helped Lan Jiuwan expel the poison, and his spiritual consciousness also penetrated the veins of the vine. He Kao didn't know which part of the stick was missing, and suddenly another idea came to him. Since the spiritual consciousness could penetrate the vine, then could the Yin Spirit also penetrate it?

It's about drilling in, not going through, which is equivalent to "taking over another's body". If that's the case, how would it feel?
He remembered that in the novel that Zhang Jinkui introduced to him, there was also a description about the cultivation of Yin Spirit. It was said that Yin Spirit could temporarily take over another body when traveling.

In fact, it cannot be called possession of another body. It is more appropriate to call it entrustment. It is just temporarily entrusting the Yin Spirit to another body. If the person being entrusted with the body realizes it, the Yin Spirit can be easily thrown out.

But Tiangonglian had no consciousness! When he thought of this, he couldn't hold back any longer, and his Yin Spirit actually went into a vine like smoke.

Yin Shen Tuo She is another magical variation of the Yin E technique. However, the techniques inherited from the Yin E Cave Heaven's second inheritance do not introduce this application of the technique.
