Chapter 96: The True Embryo
"Zhenwu's command!"
Chen Qingning mobilized his magic power to the maximum extent and activated the Zhenwu sword in his hand.
"Zheng!"
The scarlet sword flashed, splitting the mandrill in front of her in half, and she herself turned pale due to the recoil of the powerful force.
The blessing brought by this Zhenwu magic sword is extremely great, but correspondingly, its consumption is also extremely high.
Moreover, these evil spirits in front of him seemed to be crazy and were not afraid of death at all.
In other words, he is not afraid of himself at all.
This doesn't make sense at all.
Could it be because of the object in the car?
Chen Qingning thought to herself as she looked at the fox ghost with red eyes rushing towards her. She subconsciously mobilized her magic power to fill the sword in her hand, but the next moment her mouth tightened and she almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
She only felt a pain in her dantian and weakness all over her body.
Mana is gone...
"Roar!!"
The fox ghost roared, and strange black energy was rippling on its ferocious claws.
He was full of murderous intent and was about to pounce.
Chen Qingning looked stern, raised the sword in his hand, and was ready to fight in close combat.
However, at this moment, the fox ghost seemed to have seen something horrifying. Its pupils were trembling, and its body suddenly braked and froze in place.
"Tap...tap..."
Chen Qingning was in a daze when he suddenly heard a crisp sound of footsteps behind him.
She looked back subconsciously.
I saw a young Taoist priest wearing a green Taoist robe and a black cloak, who looked a few years younger than me, walking towards me.
The Taoist's face was calm, but his eyes were pure black.
Chen Qingning looked into those eyes and was suddenly stunned.
"You are Bei..."
She seemed to have thought of something and spoke blankly.
The next moment, my hand felt lighter.
Only then did she realize that the young Taoist had walked up to her and took away her Zhenwu sword.
"Borrow it."
Chen Qingning looked at the back of the young Taoist holding the magic sword and nodded blankly.
"Oh……"
There was a hint of grievance in his voice.
You took it all away before you told me...
Jiang Lin held the Zhenwu sword in his hand, and in front of him was the dull fox ghost.
He raised his hand and chopped.
There was no spell, no fluctuation, just a waving without any fireworks, and the fox ghost suddenly split into two halves, and then turned into meaningless dirty blood and spilled.
"Buzz!"
The Zhenwu sword in Jiang Lin's hand vibrated and hummed, not as a resistance, but as a sense of pleasure.
This kind of magic sword already has its own spirituality, and it does not resist being driven by Jiang Lin.
The Beidi lineage and the Zhenwu lineage are from the same clan.
"The Heavenly Horse is furious, and the Northern Guard is invincible."
"Three hundred thousand soldiers, guarding my ninth heaven."
Jiang Lin chanted the Tianpeng Curse and shook the magic sword in his hand.
"Zheng!"
The magic sword hummed and emitted a brilliant scarlet divine light. In an instant, countless evil spirits dared not move forward and even slowly retreated.
It's not that these evil spirits didn't dare to turn around and run, but the power that suppressed them at that moment meant they were doomed to have no chance of escape.
"Keep away corpses thousands of miles away and sweep away bad luck."
"I dare you little devil to come and see me."
Jiang Lin raised his eyes, which were filled with darkness. However, at this moment, flashes of lightning burst out from the darkness.
This lightning was different from the previous ones. It was not incandescent in color, but scarlet in color.
Obviously, Jiang Lin received the blessing from the Zhenwu Sword!
"Si Ming is broken, and Tian You is exterminated."
"With one strike of the magic sword, all ghosts will collapse."
Jiang Lin raised his hand, and the Zhenwu sword in his hand hummed excitedly. Rays of scarlet lightning burst out, filling and lingering on the Zhenwu sword.
The evil spirits took only one look at the scarlet lightning and their eyes collapsed, unable to see anymore.
"I obey the command of the Northern Heavenly Peng Mingwei!"
In Jiang Lin's eyes, scarlet divine light surged, and the Zhenwu sword in his hand suddenly chopped down!
"boom!!!"
The thunder is bright and the positive power bursts out!
The scarlet lightning shone on the evil spirits, and in just a moment, countless evil spirits were instantly scared to death.
Tianpeng Method and Zhenwu Method are the true Taoist methods that can cleanse evil spirits and scare monsters to death.
Now Jiang Lin uses the Zhenwu magic sword to activate the Tianpeng mantra, its power is beyond words.
It is worth mentioning that the burst of scarlet lightning obviously focused more on the ghost wolves.
The other evil spirits were shattered cleanly and neatly, but the ghost wolves were destroyed and annihilated bit by bit.
Although I don't know if these ghost wolves feel pain, the feeling of despair of watching their spiritual origin being wiped away bit by bit will not diminish in the slightest just because you are an evil spirit.
It was like Jiang Lin’s big pancakes that were being crushed into crumbs bit by bit.
Jiang Lin returned the feeling of despair at that moment hundreds and thousands of times.
The scarlet lightning not only shone on the evil spirit, but also on Chen Qingning's dull face.
She looked at the back of the man wearing a cloak and holding the Zhenwu sword, and suddenly had an absurd idea.
Compared to himself, this young Taoist who suddenly appeared seemed more like the descendant of the Zhenwu lineage...
Jiang Lin didn't know about Chen Qingning's strange thoughts, he didn't even know the other person's name.
After doing all this, Jiang Lin turned around, turned the sword in his hand upside down, and handed it to the dazed fellow in blue.
"Thank you for lending me your sword."
Jiang Lin nodded, thought for a moment, and added: "This sword is very good."
"You're welcome."
Chen Qingning took it blankly. She was still a little confused at the moment.
It was really because Jiang Lin's appearance was too sudden and his actions were too decisive.
She tried her best and even nearly fell into close combat with the group of evil spirits, but was killed by the young Taoist in front of her with one move.
The contrast is really confusing.
Where did such a strong man come from?
Seeing that the young Taoist was about to turn around and leave, Chen Qingning finally came to his senses, hurriedly took two steps forward, and said, "Daoyou, please stay!"
Hearing this, Jiang Lin paused, his face looking a little strange, not knowing whether he should turn around or not.
Chen Qingning was one step faster, and ran to Jiang Lin and bowed: "May you be blessed with infinite happiness."
"I am Chen Qingning from the Taisu Palace of Mount Qiyun. May I ask your Dharma name?"
Jiang Lin returned the greeting and said, "I am the abbot of Ziwei Temple in Longjing Mountain, Hangzhou, Jiang Xuanying."
After introducing themselves to each other and telling each other the places where they were practicing, they both suddenly understood.
Jiang Lin had heard of the name of Taisu Palace. The full name of this Taoist temple is "Xuantian Taisu Palace", and it enshrines the True Lord Yousheng, Zhenwu Xuantian Emperor.
It is no wonder that the nun in front of him can perform such authentic Zhenwu method. After all, this is the Taoist temple's signature method.
(The original name of Xuantian Taisu Palace was Yousheng Zhenwu Temple, which was renamed by Emperor Jiajing. The later name is used here to explain it to the textual researchers)
At the same time, Chen Qingning looked at Jiang Lin with some surprise.
As a descendant of the authentic Zhenwu lineage, she naturally recognized Jiang Lin's Fengdu Dharma Eye and Tianpeng Dharma. Although she had never heard of the Ziwei Temple that Jiang Lin mentioned, it was obviously not a simple place as it was named "Ziwei".
Either it is a name casually given by an ordinary person who knows nothing about cultivation, or only a truly authentic and direct descendant can bear this name.
And the Daoist Fellow Jiang in front of him is obviously the latter.
However, at such a young age, he is already the abbot of a temple?
"I am a nameless Taoist temple, and now I am the only one here, so I am ashamed to be the head of the temple."
Jiang Lin saw Chen Qingning's confusion and explained with a smile.
He was telling the truth. Compared with the Xuantian Taisu Palace, his own shabby little Taoist temple was indeed incomparable.
But to Chen Qingning's ears, it had a different meaning.
The reclusive Xuanzong?
Chen Qingning was filled with awe. She had heard from her master that the descendants of Beidi's magic were very rare, and those walking in the human world were probably less than one hand's worth.
Such a secretive Dharma lineage would definitely not be able to flourish.
It is obvious that the Daoist Brother Jiang in front of him is a descendant of the Beidi Hidden Sect!
No wonder he is so advanced in Taoism despite his young age.
It is reasonable for a person to have such achievements after using all his resources to support him.
She thought to herself in a self-comforting way.
"Thank you for your help this time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I and others would have died here."
Chen Qingning thought to himself and bowed with a serious face.
"We are from the same clan as Beidi Zhenwu but from different lineages. We are true Taoist friends. It is a bit strange to say this."
Jiang Lin smiled and shook his head, saying, "This matter is over, I'll take my leave."
Having said that, Jiang Lin turned around and was about to leave.
He decided to go and see if there was anything left of his pancake that could be salvaged.
After all, I bought it with money, so I have to go and take a look at the "corpse".
As for the possible existence of evil things in the convoy, Jiang Lin was not interested, nor was he interested in what Chen Qingning was going to do.
"Fellow Daoist, please take care..."
Chen Qingning wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to open his mouth, so he could only wave at Jiang Lin's back.
After watching Jiang Lin go to the opposite side of the official road, Chen Qingning suddenly realized that almost all the people on his side had fallen down after being attacked by those evil spirits just now.
Although his life was not in danger, evil spirits had entered his body and he was now unconscious on the ground.
She quickly dug out a purse, took out a pill, dissolved it with water, burned a talisman to repel evil, put it in, turned it into talisman water, and gave it to the unconscious knight's butler and others to take.
Although Xuantian Taisu Palace worships Zhenwu, it is located in the south after all, and its method of using talismans is also very solid.
After waking everyone up, Chen Qingning walked into the carriage.
There were three women in the carriage.
In addition to a maid, there was also a pair of sisters who looked 50% similar.
My sister is about twenty years old, with a bulging belly, obviously pregnant, and judging from the situation, she is at least eight months pregnant.
The younger sister was only 28 years old, her face was a little pale, but she still stood tightly in front of her sister to protect her.
"It's all right. A Taoist friend with great Taoist skills happened to pass by and helped me kill the evil spirits."
Chen Qingning put away the Zhenwu sword and spoke softly.
"Sister."
The pregnant sister looked three or four years older than Chen Qingning, but she was addressed as senior sister.
She said worriedly, "It's still three or four days' journey from here to Huangshan Mountain, and about five days' journey to Qiyun Mountain. Will there be any more during this period..."
"Don't worry. In the next few days, we won't be camping outdoors. As long as there are a lot of people, evil spirits won't bother us."
Chen Qingning consoled him, "Besides, that Taoist friend just killed a lot of evil spirits. Even if there are still some, I don't think there will be too many."
"That Taoist priest, has he left?"
My sister said softly, "We haven't thanked him for his kindness yet."
"That fellow Taoist must have also traveled here and is resting across the official road."
Chen Qingning lifted the curtain to signal.
The younger sister looked over curiously.
Across the official road, a bonfire was vaguely visible, and a figure in a black cloak was squatting on the ground, holding an unidentified object.
Although the face cannot be seen clearly, the action gives people a sense of loss and sadness.
"puff……"
My sister couldn't help but laugh.
"Xiaoyun."
The elder sister tapped her younger sister's forehead in a reproachful manner, then looked at Chen Qingning and said thoughtfully, "Senior sister, I guess that Taoist priest hasn't had dinner yet?"
She had once boldly lifted the curtain and looked behind it, and vaguely remembered that a group of ghost wolves walked across the campfire opposite.
I think if the Taoist priest was cooking, he would have been killed by the wolf's claws.
"That's how it should be."
Chen Qingning nodded.
"Xuemei, go get some steamed buns and bacon and we'll send them to the Taoist priest."
"For saving my life, I have to express my gratitude in person."
As my sister spoke, she stood up, and the maid named Xuemei also went downstairs to prepare.
Soon, the two sisters and Chen Qingning walked to the other side of the official road with some food.
Jiang Lin, who was feeling sad about his brother Bing who had no chance of "surviving", suddenly smelled meat.
Mm, the best bacon, and steamed buns!
Jiang Lin raised his head and saw Chen Qingning walking towards him with a pair of sisters.
His eyes fell on the pregnant sister, or to be more precise, on her lower abdomen. Jiang Lin seemed to have discovered something and looked a little surprised.
"I am Liu Yuwei, and this is my sister, Liu Yunxiu. Nice to meet you, Taoist priest."
Liu Yuwei came in front of Jiang Lin, bowed slightly, and said: "I am grateful to the Taoist for saving my life, so I specially offer you some food. Please don't despise it."
Jiang Lin stood up and nodded, ignoring his sister who was staring at him curiously, nodded, and took it without any hesitation.
"I'm just hungry, thank you."
Liu Yuwei was very happy with Jiang Lin's impoliteness. At least it proved that the overly handsome young Taoist priest in front of her was a straightforward person.
"It is the slaves and others who should thank the Taoist priest."
As Liu Yuwei was speaking, she saw the young Taoist priest in front of her suddenly signal to Chen Qingning beside her.
Then, under the strange gazes of the two sisters, Chen Qingning followed Jiang Lin in confusion.
The two came to a deserted place.
Jiang Lin looked at Chen Qingning in front of him, frowned and said: "Daoyou, what are you thinking about in Xuantian Taisu Palace?"
"A woman who is pregnant is coveted by evil spirits. Why should she be allowed to show her face in the wilderness?"
At this moment, Jiang Lin’s doubts were resolved.
What attracted the evil spirits was not the treasure in the convoy, but the pregnant woman named Liu Yuwei, or rather, the fetus in her belly.
A real fetus.
The so-called true fetus means that a true immortal descends to the mortal world and is reborn as a human fetus.
In other words, what's in Liu Yuwei's belly is a real immortal!
