Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

Not only that, Lei Yin Temple also knew that Su Li was the last crown prince of the Ghost Kingdom.

There's no point in hiding it.

Su Li is now a great benefactor of Lei Yin Temple.

It can be said that as long as Su Li wants to do something, as long as it's not murder, arson, or harming others, Lei Yin Temple will basically help him.

"Does Benefactor Su wish to learn more about the Oni race?"

Chanxin and the other masters of Leiyin Temple were not surprised to hear Su Li's words. In fact, they thought that Su Li would come to find them sooner or later.

"Yes."

Su Li nodded.

"I wonder if any of you masters have any clues? I have a feeling that the Oni race has not been wiped out and may still exist in this world."

Chanxin glanced at Su Li, then at Chanlian.

This means that Chanxin hopes Chanlian will provide an explanation for Su Li.

After all, Chanlian's research on the Oni race is much deeper than his, the host.

"Amitabha."

Chanlian clasped her hands together in a gesture of respect.

"Please follow me, Benefactor Su and the abbot."

Chan Lian did not answer directly, but instead led Su Li and the abbot into his study.

In Chanlian's study, there are all sorts of ancient books.

These ancient books are all about the Oni race.

Chan Lian took several thick ancient books from the bookshelf and placed them in front of Su Li:

"Benefactor Su, please take a look at this book, 'An Investigation into the Activity Trajectory of the Oni Clan'."

Su Li nodded and opened the book.

Although it contains ancient scripts, Chanlian has provided annotations for each one.

As Su Li watched, Chan Lian explained.

"Actually, it's not just Benefactor Su who thinks this way."

In fact, since ancient times, many scholars who have studied the Oni race have believed that the Oni race did not actually perish.

Countless people want to find the Oni clan, an ancient branch of the human race from ancient times, and I am no exception.

Although they ultimately returned empty-handed.

However, I did not come away empty-handed.

Finally, I compiled all my research into this book.

Just as Su Shizhu saw.

The last recorded information about the Oni race comes from ten million years after the end of ancient times.

Before this, countless demons and humans formed alliances, intermarried, and lived together.

The number of Oni even experienced a major explosion.

However, ten million years after the end of the ancient era, the Oni race suddenly disappeared.

The last place where the ruins of the Oni tribe's activity were found is...

"Ghost town..."

Looking at the records in the book, Su Li raised her head.

......

......

I've finished my run, it's so hot... Running in this heat makes me sweat so easily...

Even though it's evening, the temperature is still unbearable...

Chapter 521 I'll make him lose his head

Ghost town.

Su Li's brows twitched when she saw those two words.

Where is the ghost town?

Ghost towns are ghost towns!

The so-called ghost realm is an expansion that gradually developed from the ghost city!

The person who controls the Ghost Realm—no, I should say the ghost who controls the Ghost Realm—is Qiu Qingmeng.

When he first met Qiu Qingmeng, he almost lost his life.

Although I don't know what happened in the end, I managed to escape unscathed.

However, Su Li felt that her luck wouldn't be so good next time.

I would normally avoid the name "Qiu Qingmeng".

Now, things have gotten even worse; I have to go find her myself again.

Just thinking about it made Su Li's head throb with pain.

Could this be the cause and effect?

Is it possible that I can never escape her in this lifetime?

I remember when I was a child, a fortune teller said I was destined to have many romantic encounters.

But that's not how you make a mistake...

"Yes, it's a ghost town."

Unaware of the turmoil in Su Li's heart, and only believing that Su Li was simply afraid of the Ghost Realm, Chan Lian continued to speak.

"Just as I recorded in my book back then."

On a certain day before.

As if summoned by some unknown force, the entire Oni clan migrated to the Oni Realm.

The Ghost Realm back then was not like the Ghost Realm of today.

At that time, the Ghost Realm was still a no-man's land, a place where Yin and Yang met, a chaotic place.

No one from any race wanted to go to that place.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died.

However, the entire Oni clan went there, which is truly puzzling.

When I first heard this rumor, I dismissed it with disdain.

I think it's just a fabricated rumor.

Because the Oni race, despite having the word "Oni" in their name.

In reality, the Oni race has no connection with the Oni Realm.

However, as my research deepened, I discovered that the strange occurrences of the Oni race before their 'extinction' were indeed preparations for a long journey.

So, this old monk went to the Ghost Realm.

In an abandoned city in the Ghost Realm, I saw the totem worshipped by the Ghost Clan—the Zhongshan God.

Furthermore, the Oni race loves to eat beans.

So in that abandoned city, there are still traces of soybean cultivation and tools such as millstones for grinding soybeans.

All these signs indicate that the Oni race had been stationed here for at least some time.

This old monk still wants to go on.

But further ahead lies the territory of Qiu Qingmeng, the Lord of the Ghost Realm.

In Buddhism, the realm of ghosts and other malevolent entities are actually incompatible and do not get along well.

To dispel my doubts, I sent a letter of invitation to the Ghost City, expressing my purpose: to enter the Ghost City and find out what was going on.

But in the end, all I got was the word "get lost"...

There was nothing I could do but slink away from the Ghost Realm in the end.

After all, Qiu Qingmeng is the Ghost Lord...

As he spoke, Master Chanlian really wanted to say the words, "There might be something wrong with his head."

However, out of consideration for his character, Master Chanlian eventually closed his mouth.

"In short, if Mr. Su wants to find the Ghost Clan, the Ghost Realm is definitely the place he can't escape. However, that Qiu Qingmeng is stubborn and powerful, making her extremely difficult to deal with..."

Master Chanlian concluded with a statement filled with helplessness.

A silence fell over the study.

Chan Lian was recalling how Qiu Qingmeng had driven her out of the Ghost Realm with a single "Get out!"

Seriously, if they won't let me enter the Ghost Realm, then I won't go. Why are you so angry? Can't we talk things out properly?

Su Li was thinking about what kind of treatment she would receive if she went to the Ghost Realm. In other words, if she entered the Ghost Realm, would she be able to come out?

As for Chanxin, he felt extremely helpless.

If it were anywhere else, Chanxin wouldn't mind accompanying Benefactor Su on the trip.

But that's a ghost realm.

One thing that Buddhists often do is to perform rituals to help the spirits of the dead find peace.

Even in Buddhism, there is a saying:

"The greatest merit is to clear away the ghost realm. Once the ghost realm is cleared away, one can become a Buddha."

At that time, Chan Lian was just a monk in the late Nascent Soul stage, and he was very respectful. He didn't say "This old monk has come to deliver you" as soon as he arrived in the Ghost Realm, so Chan Lian was able to receive a "get lost" and leave peacefully.

However, if Chanxin were to go to the Ghost Realm, given Chanxin's cultivation level, even if he didn't want to actively perform the ritual of deliverance, the Buddhist and Taoist aura flowing around him would likely deliver people wherever he went.

The king does not meet the king.

One is a king of the ghost realm, and the other is the highest-ranking Buddhist in the present day.

It's likely that as soon as Chanxin arrives at the border of the Ghost Realm, the Ghost King will come out and fight Chanxin to the death.

"I would like to trouble Master Chanlian to provide me with a map and route to the Ghost Realm."

After a long while, Su Li made her decision.

"Furthermore, I would like to ask that you masters not tell my junior sister about this matter. If possible, I would like to trouble your temple to send my junior sister back to the Holy Land of Qianling."

"Is Benefactor Su truly prepared?"

Actually, I still want to offer some advice.

But he knew it was useless; Su's decision must have been the result of careful consideration.

"No, but let's take it one step at a time." Su Li was thinking that if things didn't look good, she would just have to get rid of the problem!

Qiu Qingmeng would not kill herself.

Those who cannot kill themselves will eventually be consumed by their own actions!

“In that case, please wait a couple of days, Benefactor Su. I will compile the useful records as soon as possible and hand them over to you.” Chan Lian bowed with his hands clasped together.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master."

“Benefactor Su, Master, Uncle-Master, Huicong has something to bother you about.”

Just as Su Li got up to leave.

Huicong knocked on the door.

"Enter."
