I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 92 Zhao Wuji's Shock
Zhong Ye felt like he had had a long dream!
At first, he was trapped in a chaotic and narrow body of water. It was dark and closed, but he didn't feel suffocated. He didn't know what to do, or rather, he had no thoughts. A huge wave hit him, and he turned into a cow again.

It was only then that he regained some consciousness.

But it was more of an involuntary action. He stood, drank milk, ran... everything made him happy and indulged in it.

He also saw a familiar face, so familiar that he seemed to be able to call out the name in the next second, but he could not figure out who he was.

His consciousness didn't seem to allow him to think too much.

In a blink of an eye, he would forget everything and, driven by instinct, feed, play and chew grass.

Gradually, his consciousness gradually regained consciousness, and he vaguely realized that everything in front of him was not right, but he could not tell what was wrong.

Until one night, he had a dream. In the dream, he turned into a human, a Taoist priest fighting crazily in the army.

A cold light came from the chaotic army, and his head was thrown high. In extreme fear and unwillingness, he saw the fluttering flag of Commander Murong!
"Murong?!"

He woke up suddenly from his sleep like a pedestrian who stepped on air.

The simple stable, the manger, and even the old ox beside him made him breathe a sigh of relief... Fortunately, everything was just a dream? Wait! Was this really just a dream?

In an instant, countless memories flooded into his mind, and his young brain could no longer restrain his consciousness. Amidst the burst of thoughts, he rushed out of the stable and rampaged in the Taoist temple, looking for his benefactor. Unexpectedly, he searched the entire temple but did not see anyone.

A faint sound of opera came from outside the temple, leading him to leave the Taoist temple carefully. After almost falling off the cliff several times, he finally saw the crowd of people watching the opera gathered in the open space at the foot of the mountain.

The scene of peace and prosperity made him silent for a while!
To the sound of an unfamiliar tune, he walked up the mountain path and down the mountain. At this time, the music had ended, and the crowd dispersed in groups of three or two, reluctant to leave.

The lingering discussion made Zhong Ye, who was hiding in the ditch, feel more and more complicated.

That night, he wandered among the mountains and fields, listening to the discussions of the onlookers, and was in endless reverie until dawn.

It was noon and he was about to return to Lao Lu Temple when a figure suddenly walked out from the lush shadows of the trees, which made his pupils dilate.

"Are you awake, Zhong Ye?"

Lu Wujiu, who asked this question, had the answer in his heart without the need for Xiao Huangniu to answer.

Because the calf's complex eyes are something that no animal can possess.

"Moo-"

The little yellow ox cried out and then stopped talking.

Lu Wujiu stretched out his hand and pulled a tree shadow over the little yellow cow's head. Then he waved his hand and hooked out Zhong Ye's soul.

"Can you speak now?"

Zhong Ye, whose soul was still in the shape of a yellow cow, looked at the cow's body lying on the ground in a state of suspended death and couldn't help but moo. Then he spoke in a stumbling manner.

"Master Lu, have I come back to life?"

"That's right. I don't know if this method will work, so I'll put you into a cow's womb first! If you don't feel comfortable, you can reincarnate into a human. However, if you reincarnate into a human, you'll be killing people and their children, even though you're supposedly borrowing a human body. So you have to find a good family and ask for their permission, without leaving any karmic consequences, before you can reincarnate."

Lu Wujiu explained concisely to avoid Zhong Ye feeling worried.

"This……"

Zhong Ye was in a state of hesitation.

Seeing this, Lu Wujiu comforted him, "There's no rush for this matter. You can think about it for a while."

Zhong Ye finally relaxed and knelt on the ground, saying, "Immortal Master, I thank you for your grace in giving me a new life!"

Lu Wujiu accepted the gift calmly and asked, "Tell me about your recent feelings and why you suddenly woke up?"

Zhong Ye organized his words briefly, then slowly recounted his dreamlike experience. Finally, he added:
"I felt like I was having a lucid dream. I was vaguely aware of something, but I could never wake up. Until last night, when I woke up, it was like a sudden enlightenment. My mind was clear and I remembered everything."

Lu Wujiu frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. Many thoughts were intertwined like silk threads. Zhong Ye's summary of "lucid dream" was like a glimmer of light that penetrated the fog and immediately made him see the light.

In essence, Zhong Ye is just an obsession, or a memory.

He imprinted this memory on the original soul, which, in a sense, was also a form of possession.

It's just that the little yellow ox's dull body and weak soul are unable to support his consciousness, which is why his consciousness is still confused after he is born.

To put it bluntly, there is insufficient memory and large software cannot be run.

The fact that he was able to wake up suddenly now should be related to the fact that he fed him elixirs every now and then to ripen his body.

After figuring out the whole cause and effect, Lu Wujiu felt a little trembling and palpitating in his heart.

If he can resurrect Zhong Ye, he can also resurrect those great figures in the spiritual world who have shocked the world throughout history. Just imagine that the big guys from millions of years ago were reincarnated and reborn to serve him. What a spectacular scene it would be.
Thinking of this, Lu Wujiu asked, "Can you still use your former magical powers and techniques?"

Zhong Ye said: "I have just woken up and have no magical power at all. I don't know if I can use my old magical powers."

Lu Wujiu nodded and said, "There's no rush for this matter. Come with me back to the Taoist temple first. I'll find you a magical breathing technique. You should cultivate some magic power first."

Zhong Ye lowered his head: "Yes!"

Lu Wujiu then waved his sleeves, sent Zhong Ye's soul back to his body, and then turned around and went up the mountain.

The little yellow ox staggered to its feet and followed behind, step by step.

Back at Lao Lu Temple, Lu Wujiu called Liu Goudan and said, "This cow has gained consciousness and become a spirit. You should arrange a separate room for him and provide him with meals according to the standards of a disciple in the temple."

Liu Goudan nodded repeatedly and looked at the little yellow cow with inexplicable surprise.

After settling Zhong Ye, Lu Wujiu returned to the shrine and immediately entered the human skin book. After settling his physical body, his mind then escaped into the Soul-Nourishing Fenghuoyuan in the spiritual world.

Today, the Soul-Nourishing Wind and Fire Hospital has undergone a great change in appearance.

Altars rose from the ground outside the Eight Dragon Wine Jar and Cauldron. These altars were not the altars of ordinary disciples of the Liuren Sect, but mostly the altars of hall masters and Dharma masters.

The purpose is to facilitate the acquisition of soul water.

Lu Wujiu took a quick glance and his figure flashed, appearing at the edge of the territory. He looked at the desolate mountain scenery in front of him and walked out casually.

In an instant, the scenery in front of me changed abruptly. A bustling city suddenly emerged in front of me and spread to the sky. It was magnificent!

Lu Wujiu looked around and made sure that the surrounding environment was safe before he escaped into the mountains and forests. His body, which was made up of his divine consciousness, also underwent subtle changes as he walked.

When he stopped in a valley, he had turned into a middle-aged monk wearing a cloak.

He looked down and nodded with satisfaction, then summoned Zhao Wuji's obsession from the real world.

The obsession was like smoke, blowing up from the ground and transforming into Zhao Wuji!

At this moment, Zhao Wuji was filled with murderous aura and unwillingness, as if he was ready to die bravely. Pure Yang sword energy surrounded his body, forming an impenetrable sword formation.

Unexpectedly, just as he was sighing, the scenery outside suddenly changed. He was so shocked that he looked around quickly. The scenery was very different from that of Wudang Mountain, which made him look confused and uncertain!
"Are you Zhao Wuji?"

Outside the sword formation, a middle-aged monk looked at him with a smile.

"Who are you? Where is this?"

"You want to take me as your disciple? I look so majestic, but unfortunately, I was defeated and died, and my reputation was extinguished."

Zhao Wuji was shocked. He looked around and asked after a while:

"Who is your Excellency?"

"I am a fifth-rank official under the Emperor Yin. You can call me Ghost Official."

"Ki Cao..."

Zhao Wuji's eyes flickered as he muttered about this position. He was absolutely certain he had never heard of the Yin Tianzi or the Fifth Rank Gongcao. No, there was indeed a folk legend about the Yin Tianzi, the ruler of the underworld. In reality, it was just a lie fabricated by some monks for the sake of ritual effect. After generations of rituals borrowed it, it eventually evolved into folklore.

But now he was suspicious.

Is this really just a legend? Or is it just another myth being borrowed?
"Master Gongcao said that if I am defeated, I will die and my reputation will be extinguished?"

"You don't remember your own situation?"

"Then where am I now? The underworld?"

"Hahaha……"

Lu Wujiu threw his head back and laughed out loud, leaving Zhao Wuji looking puzzled.

"If you were in the underworld, you would definitely be a remnant of your spirit. Even if a Pure Yang sword cultivator doesn't practice ghost arts, you shouldn't be completely unaware of this, right?"

Zhao Wuji bowed calmly and said, "This is exactly where I am confused! If I remember correctly, I have already died and my spirit has disappeared. Why is it that the sword seed is still there and the sea of ​​qi is full?"

Lu Wujiu said: "This is the spirit world. You are just an obsession now. Do you understand?"

Even though he had been mentally prepared, Zhao Wuji's face still lost all color when he heard this, and his eyes showed a bit of panic. After a long time, he took a deep breath and said:
"May I ask, Your Excellency, what is the situation of the Wudang Sect?"

"A sudden disaster struck, wiping out our clan overnight. Now, our disciples are scattered across the world, like rats crossing the street. It's not that everyone is chasing them, but they are also homeless and helpless."

Zhao Wuji's eyes turned red when he heard this, and his whole body trembled slightly. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He bowed respectfully and said:

"I still don't know who the 'subordinates' you just mentioned are?"

"Lu Wujiu!"

"It's him?!"

"He paid a huge price and begged me to resurrect you. Tell me, what do you want to be after your reincarnation? A jackal, a wolf, a tiger, or a leopard? Or a pig, a dog, a cow, or a sheep?"

Zhao Wuji, with a face filled with grief, had not yet recovered from the news of the Wudang Sect's annihilation. Upon hearing these shocking words, he suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Lu Wujiu in disbelief. After a while, he tentatively said:

"Your Excellency, you said, resurrect this poor Taoist?"

Lu Wujiu nodded and said with interest, "Yes! Don't you believe it?"

Zhao Wuji looked around and said after a while, "I don't understand. How can I revive it now that it has become an obsession?"

"This is my business! Tell me, what animal do you want to be reincarnated as?"

"Can't I be reincarnated as a human?"

"It's not impossible, but doing so would be like killing a child. Finding a suitable family for them would be very troublesome! So, first, you choose a living being, and when you become a spirit, find a suitable family to reincarnate into. Then, come find me... well, find one of my subordinates and have him transfer your soul to a human body. How do you do that?"

The last sentence seems to be a question, but in fact it has already made up its mind.

Zhao Wuji didn't dare bargain. Hearing this, he bowed and said, "That's great!" After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Regarding reincarnation, the sooner the better. You can handle it as appropriate. Of course, if conditions permit, it would be best if it were a wild beast. After its birth, it would have some ability to protect itself."

"Okay, okay, it's settled then."

Lu Wujiu nodded and waved his sleeves. Zhao Wuji's obsession immediately turned into a wisp of green smoke and fell back into his palm.

He rubbed the obsession ball in his hand, his eyes flickering...Pang Chen, right?
I wonder if you like this trouble?

As his thoughts faded, his figure disappeared.

When he returned to Lao Lu Temple, it was already dark. Lu Wujiu thought for a moment and went to the front yard to check on Zhong Ye.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Ye is in seclusion practicing.

After asking Liu Goudan, I learned that after returning at noon, Zhong Ye simply ate some noodles and then lay cross-legged in the room, practicing breathing exercises, and seemed quite diligent.

Seeing this, Lu Wujiu stopped disturbing him.

Just as he was about to head to the back mountain, Liu Qingtan followed him, looking worried: "Sir, there was an accident during the opera performance at the foot of the mountain last night."

Lu Wujiu raised his eyebrows: "What happened?"

Liu Qingtan said, "It's not a big deal. I heard that there was a thief last night who took advantage of the villagers coming out to watch a play and stole things wantonly. Many villagers suffered heavy losses in their homes."

Lu Wujiu frowned. It wasn't a big deal, but it was still as disgusting as a toad crawling on his feet.

He waved his hand, took out a porcelain bottle and handed it over.

"Here are three drops of soul water. Take them to the market and exchange them for some tracking talismans and magical instruments. Settle this matter cleanly and don't give anyone a reason to criticize you."

"Disciple will follow Master's instructions."

Liu Qingtan hurriedly took the soul water with a happy face.

Lu Wujiu smiled, walked away, exited Lao Lu Temple, and went down the mountain.

Halfway through the journey, his soul suddenly left his body, he put away his physical body, turned into a shadow, turned back and escaped into Lao Lu Mountain, and knocked on the door of the mountain god's private residence.

It was night time. When he opened the door and saw Lu Wujiu's old mountain god, he was surprised:
"Lord Lu? Please come in quickly!"

Lu Wujiu stepped out, sat down, and asked directly, "In the second month of the year in the mountains, are there any beasts about to give birth?"

The old Lushan God was a little confused, but he answered honestly, "Wild animals usually breed in spring and summer when vegetation is plentiful. Ferocious beasts don't eat vegetation, so most breed earlier. Generally speaking, tigers breed in February, leopards in March, and wolves in April."

Lu Wujiu nodded: "Is it possible to find a beast that is about to give birth?"

The old Lushan God said, "This is not difficult. May I ask when you need it?"

"The sooner the better!"

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will investigate and find out."

"Dashan, remember, don't look for mountain monsters, and don't disturb wild beasts."

"I understand."

The old Lushan God nodded, then closed his eyes and remained motionless. His legs turned into tree roots, dug into the earth, and searched the mountain.

Time passes bit by bit.

Lu Wujiu remained calm and waited patiently. About an hour later, the old Lushan God's legs retracted from the tree roots and turned into human limbs again. He then opened his eyes.

"I have fulfilled my mission and have found a tigress about to give birth."

"Great! Where is the tiger?"

"My Lord, would you like me to lead the way?"

"No, just give me the directions!"

"It's about sixty miles southeast of here, in a valley full of red pines, where you'll find it."

Lu Wujiu nodded and was about to get up and leave, but after a moment's thought, he said worriedly, "I'll have to trouble you to be more careful later. Protect the mother tiger and cubs and make sure they don't get hurt or captured by hunters."

Upon hearing this, the old Lushan God naturally agreed. Lu Wujiu then turned into a shadow and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Lao Lu Mountain God was filled with curiosity. He wanted to take a peek, but he was afraid of being discovered. He felt very conflicted!

Little did they know that at this very moment, hundreds of miles away in the Puhua Theater in the capital of Nanyang, someone was also tossing and turning in bed, feeling extremely worried.
