Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 208 Lovers Watching the Knife (Subscribe)

Going back to reality.

The strength of this ghost bride exceeds that of Yin Shuai in the second level of the fantasy world.

With his strength, a head-on confrontation would be a dead end.

Of course, the sect disciples who enter the spiritual mirror fantasy world all have protective jade pendants that can escort them out of the country in life-or-death situations.

However, the illusion trial ends here.

The strange insects under his command are of little use against this ghost cultivator who has reached a great realm.

Even if the Pipa Poison Scorpion could sneak up on the Ghost Bride, he was not sure he could kill her with one sword.

What's more, the Ghost Bride is so powerful that it is not easy for the Pipa Poison Scorpion to plot against her.

Now, Chen Xuan was complaining in his heart.

This magical mirror seemed to be targeting him.

Is this reasonable?

He is just an ordinary disciple who came from a casual cultivation background. He is neither from the inner sect nor a true disciple. He has to rely on himself to practice cultivation. How difficult it has been along the way!

If it weren't for his extraordinary talent.

You are wrong. If he had not cheated, read the wordless Taoist scriptures, and was the first to comprehend the divine power of the heavenly eye, it would be a question whether he could survive.

Take the ghost bride in front of him for example. No matter how powerful he is, he can't do anything to her.

The gap in strength is too great, and I have the will but not the ability.

Candlelight flickers.

"Husband, it's getting late, go to bed and get some rest!"

The delicate voice is full of temptation.

"My wife, wait a moment, your husband will go take a bath first!"

"No, I don't mind."

"But, my husband, please mind!"

Chen Xuan moved slowly.

His heart was in his throat, he dared not even breathe, and stared closely at the ghost bride.

The ghost bride suddenly laughed.

"Husband, have you seen my true appearance?"

Chen Xuan was silent.

Silence is the default.

"Alas, my husband, you too. Let's have a good time, and you'll be lost in bliss. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

Chen Xuan held onto a glimmer of hope and asked, "Fellow Daoist, is there anything we can discuss?"

The ghost bride laughed: "Daoist friend! Haha, it is indeed interesting. Besides your flesh and blood essence, what else do you have that is worth discussing with me?"

"Perhaps, there are some things that fellow Daoist is not convenient to do, but I can do them."

Upon hearing this, the ghost bride fell silent.

Chen Xuan knew that things were taking a turn for the better.

"Now that you mention it, there is indeed something I can't do."

"But how can I trust you?"

Chen Xuan quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, I can swear the inner demon oath. For those of us who practice Taoism, the inner demon oath is the most important."

The ghost bride was still thinking.

Suddenly, a look of pain began to appear on her face.

The skin used to be smooth as fat and white as snow, but now there are many black spots.

At first, the black spots were so small that they were barely noticeable to the naked eye. But soon, they grew larger and denser, quickly covering the ghost bride's entire skin.

What is terrifying is that these black spots move independently and in a disorderly manner.

The ghost bride screamed.

She looked at her hands as if in disbelief, opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but no sound came out.

Something horrible happened to the ghost bride.

Her face gradually twisted and convulsed, and she was overwhelmed by immense pain.

The ghost bride screamed desperately, but still no sound came out.

Her skin began to crack, but there was no trace of blood, only white bones.

The ghost bride took a meditation posture, closed her eyes, and chanted a strange spell.

The black spots on the skin gradually became smaller.

After a long time, the ghost bride opened her eyes, looking tired, breathing heavily, and slowly stood up with the help of the table.

Her lips trembled for a few times, and finally she uttered a hoarse voice: "Are you really willing to help me?"

"I'll help you, and you'll set me free."

"Very good. You take the inner demon oath first."

It turned out that the ghost bride was originally going to get married, but she fainted while waiting in the bridal chamber. Her body was divided into six parts and was suppressed with a soul-killing talisman, and she would never be reborn.

Every once in a while, someone would perform a ritual to destroy her soul.

As long as Chen Xuan finds all six parts of the body, combines them together, buries them and prays for their souls to be reborn, he will be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation again.

This matter seems quite simple.

"My fiancé is the prince of Wei."

The ghost bride said lightly.

"Why don't you go find him and ask him yourself?"

"I'm detained here and can't leave this area for more than ten miles."

It turned out that part of her body, her torso and heart, were sealed here.

The ghost bride sighed and said, "Except for you who fell from the sky, I have never seen a living person."

Chen Xuan was quite speechless.

He was absolutely certain that this magical mirror was indeed targeting him.

"Daoyou, this magical power..."

"I have been learning Taoism since I was young, and by the time I got married, I had already perfected my Qi training."

"After the body was divided, there were treasures protecting it, and the soul was not dispersed, so I had to turn into a ghost cultivator."

Chen Xuan took a breath.

"Fellow Daoist, are you saying that even after you have perfected your Qi training, you will still faint, your body will disintegrate, and your spirit will be suppressed?"

"Yup!"

The ghost bride looked as if it was a matter of course.

"If it were easy, why would I force you to take the Heart Demon Vow?"

"But don't worry. I was caught off guard at the time, which is why I suffered this disaster. I see that you have a special skill and you have quite a few gadgets on you. Helping me find my body shouldn't be a problem for you."

"Okay. I'll bring your body back."

...After leaving the courtyard.

According to the addresses given by the ghost bride, Chen Xuan found her body parts in five places: at the bottom of the river, on the top of a mountain, in the City God Temple, in the Kurong Temple, and in the Qingfeng Temple.

They were all suppressed by the magic circle, affixed with soul-killing talismans, and were under the supervision of special personnel.

Fortunately, the people in charge were not very skilled and were only in the initial stage of Qi training.

With the help of strange insects such as the psychic green snake and the thousand-eyed centipede, Chen Xuan dived into the soil, climbed mountains and walls, and quietly dug out the five parts of the body and put them into the animal bag he carried with him.

Only the last head remains in Prince Wei's mansion.

One day, he arrived at Prince Wei's mansion and found it decorated with lights and was quite lively.

It turned out that this day was an auspicious day for Prince Wei to marry.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Menzi stepped forward and shouted.

Chen Xuan smiled.

Then, he said softly, "My name is Chen Xuan, a magician who has traveled the world. Seeing the nobles gathered here, I came to ask for a glass of wedding wine."

"Chen Xuan? Where's the visiting card?"

"Let me write one."

Chen Xuan walked to the street, borrowed a pen and ink from a calligraphy and painting stall owner, wrote a visiting card, and handed it over.

Menzi looked at the signature above and a hint of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Despite this, he was allowed in.

It is well known that Prince Wei is fond of Taoism.

All the dignitaries from nearby areas attended the wedding banquet of Prince Wei.

There are many people who practice cultivation among them.

Chen Xuan took a quick look and found that among the more than 300 guests in the hall alone, there were more than a dozen cultivators.

Although they are all in the early stages of Qi training.

There was still some time before the auspicious time, and the banquet was 90% full.

Soon, the newlyweds came in and the wedding banquet reached its climax.

The Prince of Wei came out with his bride to toast.

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the bride.

Damn it!
That bride was exactly the same as the ghost bride he had seen!
When toasting, Chen Xuan turned sideways and did not accept her greeting.

Soon, the bride and groom entered the bridal chamber.

After drinking a few glasses of wedding wine, Chen Xuan sneaked into the inner house of the palace while no one was paying attention.

Going all the way north, you will come to the northernmost row of buildings, which is the ancestral hall of Prince Wei's Mansion.

There are no partitions between the houses, and they enshrine the ancestors of King Wei.

Chen Xuan found one of them and walked in.

In the middle of the ancestral hall, he ordered the Thousand-Eyed Centipede, which was good at digging holes, to dig down, and actually dug out a coffin.

"That's not right. It's just a head, how can it be a coffin?"

Chen Xuan faintly felt something was wrong.

Once you make a vow to your inner demons, you must act according to it.

At this point, he couldn't care less.

Just as he was about to open the coffin, he heard a spiritual energy fluctuation behind him.

Chen Xuan quickly dodged and hid behind the tablet of King Wei's recent ancestor.

It was the Prince of Wei whom he had just met. He was flying over with his bride in his arms and stepping on spiritual patterns.

This Prince Wei actually has the cultivation level of the middle stage of Qi training.

"Great-grandson Liu Qizhi has come to pay his respects to the ancestor and offer him fresh blood food!"

Chen Xuan was stunned.

The coffin lid was slowly pushed open.

An old man with white hair and beard sat up from the middle. His face was haggard, with a faint light flickering in his eyes, and he looked like a zombie.

No, they are much stronger than zombies, they are conscious and flexible.

The old man sniffed it and laughed, "Good great-grandson, not bad, this blood meal is much better than last time."

But when he saw the bride's face clearly, he seemed to tremble slightly.

"Yuanjun, why did you come out?"

The bride suddenly opened her pretty eyes and giggled.

"Liu Lang, you've become so old. You don't look good at all!"

"I still like you when you were younger. This is your great-grandson, and he looks just like you when you were young!"

The Prince of Wei looked extremely ugly.

At this point, he clearly understood that this bride was the enemy of the Wei family.

"Ancestor, I..."

Prince Wei wanted to say something when he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

The bride took out his heart alive, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it carefully.

"I've long wanted to taste what your Liu family's heart tastes like. Ugh, it stinks and is rotten!"

The bride threw away the heart of Prince Wei in her hand and said to the old man, "Do you remember when we first met on the small bridge?"

"I was washing clothes by the stream, and you came over on the bridge with an umbrella. If I hadn't saved you, you would have been killed by that frightened horse!"

"You said you wanted to repay me and take me into the palace to enjoy a life of luxury. I am a cultivator, and seeing that you have spiritual roots, I taught you how to cultivate. But you took advantage of my ignorance and plotted against me."

"Liu Lang, why do you treat me like this?"

The old man sighed softly.

Walk over slowly.

"Yuanjun, I am sorry for you."

"But I can't do anything about it. You don't know, back then, people from Kurong Temple and Qingfeng Temple came to the palace and said you were a demonic woman from the Demon Sect, practicing only demonic skills. If I hadn't followed their instructions, the Prince Wei's Palace would have ceased to exist."

"Yuanjun, no matter how many mistakes I made, they are all my fault. In fact, for so many years, I have been trying to find a way to unblock you. Unfortunately, my aptitude is too poor, and I only managed to establish my foundation at the end of my life."

"I was just about to go save you, but I didn't expect you to come."

The old man opened his arms and gently hugged the bride, tears streaming down his face.

"Liu Lang..."

The bride let the old man hold her, and her angry eyes gradually calmed.

However, suddenly, she screamed wildly and her anger flared up. Her long hair turned white in an instant, her nails grew rapidly, and blood flowed from her eyes.

"Liu Lang..."

"You are so cruel!"

A white nail was nailed through the bride's heart.
