Depart from Tian Shan at 8:00
Originally, Xiao Jiao's story from start to finish was true only in that she was injured by Xuan Ming. Everything else was a lie. In her lifetime, she was a cultivator of the demonic path who practiced evil techniques. At the time of her death, she had cast the Nine Yin Gathering Spirit Array on herself, turning her into a Nine Yin Vengeful Ghost. This is also why she became much stronger than an ordinary ghost and wasn't afraid of the dense yang energy on Zhan Wing's body.
She had been getting close to Xianyi from the start because she felt his difference, and after getting close, she found that he was a reincarnation of Baishi Buzhou, so she deliberately told a story about her miserable life experience, just to let him help herself find back the lost soul, because only someone like Xianyi with special characteristics could pass through the yin-yang five-element soul-refining furnace array without being harmed.
After her recovery, she wanted to devour Xianyi and absorb the merits and causal energies of the hundred generations of Biqiu on his body. However, she originally thought that Xianyi had only destroyed the yin-yang five-element soul-refining furnace, unaware that he had already merged with the entire yin-yang five-element array and the energy of the thousand ghostly demons inside, and his body possessed the strange abilities of the yin-yang five-element soul-refining furnace. It was only when she made her move that Xianyi absorbed her soul power.
What made Xuan Yi feel even more fearful was that this little demon had been lurking in the yard for over a hundred years, not only had it killed people here before, but also often went to absorb the yang energy of ordinary people.
Knowing the cause and effect, Zhan Yi felt like his heart was blocked by something, feeling depressed. He really didn't think that he would risk so much to save such an evil female ghost. Fortunately, he hadn't done anything indecent with her, otherwise it would be truly absurd. Especially when thinking of Xiao Jiao's terrified expression when she opened her mouth wide, he still couldn't believe it a little.
A person sat in the house for a long time, his heart finally calmed down, and through absorbing Xiao Jiao's memories, not only did he understand her nature, but also learned several other things.
The first thing is about the Yin-Yang Five Elements Soul Refining Furnace. This thing is a long-lost ancient treasure, which can hold over a thousand ghost souls or demon souls. After using the five elements' light and blood symbols to catalyze and refine it, not only can it change its size freely, but also when carried on one's body, ordinary demons and ghosts cannot approach. Moreover, it can absorb the soul power of humans, demons, and ghosts. If the Yin-Yang Five Elements Soul Refining Furnace collects enough souls of 10,000 demons and ghosts and undergoes a second refinement, it can become a treasure that collects immortal souls.
And the mysterious vortex in his mind was the function of the Soul Refining Furnace after its first refinement, which means that from now on, he not only didn't need to fear ordinary demons and ghosts, but could also absorb their soul energy.
The third thing that also made Xuan Yi's head ache was that when he opened the Yin Yang Five Elements Soul Refining Furnace at that time, it was refining the soul of a demon ghost, and he had completely merged the energy of the hundred generations of Bhikkhu body in his body with the energy of the Yin Yang Five Elements formation and the Soul Refining Furnace.
However, at that time, the soul of the ghost and demon was not fully refined, so his body had invaded too much evil energy of the ghost and demon. If he didn't find a way to thoroughly refine this evil energy, then after a period of time, he would be possessed by the evil energy and become a half-human, half-demon devil. This is also why the thought of being possessed by evil energy and never recovering appeared in his mind for a moment.
But it's extremely difficult to thoroughly purify the evil energy in his body, because he needs to be able to produce the energy of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation again in his body.
However, at that time, although he absorbed the yin-yang five-element array method, but because of the appearance of the little demon, the array was interrupted, so in order to produce such an effect again, it is necessary to find: Five-element grass, Hesou water, and Yin-yang fruit. Only by eating these things can the yin-yang five-element energy in the body be activated again.
These three things are extremely rare treasures, although Xiao Jiao's memory also has some records, but they are all very vague, not a general area, or he has never heard of the place.
This made his originally gloomy mood even more depressing, having just found out how different he was from others, only to discover that he would soon become a half-human and half-demon. Isn't that just being a freak? This is just too unfortunate.
Looking out the window at the dark sky, Zhan Yi felt as if he had entered a turning point in his life. Everything seemed to be predetermined, and after Bi Qi's appearance, he obtained the ability of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Soul Refining Furnace. From then on, not only ordinary demons and ghosts didn't dare approach him, but even when encountering higher-level ones, he could absorb their soul power and eliminate them.
He urgently needs to solve the problem of refining the evil energy in his body, he doesn't want to become a half-human and half-demon monster, so after thinking about it again and again, he finally made up his mind to use the summer vacation to find the spiritual objects that can refine the evil energy.
With the decision made, he started packing up his things early next morning. Fortunately, he had a large sum of money that he had obtained from Xuanying, which totaled over 40,000 yuan, enough to cover his expenses in searching for the spiritual object.
After packing up his things, he found Mrs. Li and explained his intention to leave, telling her that the house had originally been haunted by a ghost but that he had gotten rid of it, so she could now find someone else to live there with peace of mind. However, after hearing this, Mrs. Li immediately scolded him again, saying that he was just like those rumor-mongers who liked to stir up trouble, and only said a few bitter words to Zhang Yi. Fortunately, however, Mrs. Li ultimately agreed to his request.
After leaving Mrs. Li's residence, Zhan Yi went to the train station and bought a high-speed rail ticket to Xinjiang Autonomous Region, then quickly embarked on his journey, of course he wasn't going for tourism, but because it was said that the place where the Five Elements Grass appeared was on top of Tian Shan in Xinjiang Autonomous Region.
All the way, looking at the scenery along the way, thinking about the famous historical sites of Tian Shan, my heart was filled with longing, and I didn't feel lonely until I really climbed up to Tian Shan. But when I got there, I found that I had completely misjudged it, and the enthusiasm in my heart suddenly turned into confusion. Looking at the endless mountains, he only had one thought: "Damn, this is too big, I just wanted to find a five-line poem, not walk through the entire Tian Shan."
"Sir, want to worship Buddha? The Buddha in our Jin Guang Temple is the most effective, and the ticket is only eighty yuan. Moreover, you can get a discount of 80% off for drawing lots and fortune-telling when you enter the temple." Just as he was hesitating, a voice rang out beside his ear.
He turned his head to look, and saw a young man with a shaved head wearing a monk's robe standing beside him, holding several tickets in his hand. He was obviously a tout for the scenic spot. But he didn't have the mood to visit any temples at this time, so he just shook his head lightly and said: "Sorry, Master Monk, I'll come back another day. Can you tell me where the Tian Shan area is famous for its rare flowers and grasses?"
"Sir, you're mistaken. I'm not a high monk, I'm just acting. Our real high monk is in the Golden Light Temple... over there." The young man looked at Xuan Yi's uninterested expression with surprise, but immediately began to introduce the temple's unique features enthusiastically, saying that the high monk inside could see 500 years into the past and future, and that buying a spiritual symbol from there could ward off disasters and difficulties.
Zhilan's face was sweating, his heart racing, and before he could finish speaking, he hastily interrupted: "Hehe, handsome guy, you seem to have misunderstood me. I'm just asking where in the Tian Shan mountains do rare flowers and herbs grow?"
"Hmm... sir, you're looking for rare flowers and herbs, right? We have them at the Golden Light Temple. Our high-ranking monks have been practicing in the Heavenly Mountains for decades, so they know everything that's going on here. Even if you can't find what you're looking for within our temple, our high-ranking monks can still guide you." The young man looked taken aback by Zhan Yi's words, seeming to be extremely disappointed, but his eyes quickly sparkled with excitement.
"Really? The high monks in your place really know everything?" Zhan Yi looked at the other's excited appearance, originally wanting to turn around and leave, but later thought that he didn't have any goals anyway, so he might as well go take a look at that Golden Light Temple, maybe he could really chat with that high monk and get some information.
"That's necessary, sir. You only need to buy an eighty-yuan ticket and you can enter the temple to see the high monk." The young man nodded vigorously to guarantee it.
"Alright, let's go now." Zhang Yi took out his wallet and handed a hundred yuan to the young man.
"Haha, sir, you're really generous. Alright, I won't ask for the 20 yuan back. Instead, I'll give you a Golden Temple blessing charm worth 50 yuan. With this, your life will be smooth sailing." The young man handed over the money and quickly pulled out a yellow paper triangle symbol from his bag, along with the entrance ticket, and handed it to Zhan Yi.
"This...alright." Zhang Yi had intended to refuse, but seeing the young man's expectant face, he could only take it and put it in his pocket. However, in his heart, he cursed, "What the hell is this spirit symbol? It's obviously a pirated print product. And if it's really that effective, why bother going to the Golden Light Temple?"
All the way along with young people walking, it took a while to arrive at the gate of a very large temple. Looking at the magnificent architecture of the temple and that ancient flavor, there is indeed some solemn and dignified feeling.
But looking at the people in front of the temple gate, it's not that simple. Most are tourists and some tour guides and ticket sellers, only two little monks guarding the temple gate, but between their hands clasped together, their eyes are deeply gazing at the smooth white thighs of those female tourists, as if they are using some kind of magic to inject all the sperm in their body into the female tourists' bodies.
Zhan Yi saw this and felt a wave of depression in his heart. He had thought that there would be high-ranking monks here, but looking at the little monk, he knew that the high-ranking monks inside were probably not much better.
