Celestial Immortal

Chapter 43 Stealing Millions of Souls

"Whoa, brother, you are too bad! You didn't take me with you when you went to the ghost market!"

Chu Chen had just returned home, before entering the house, a small figure stopped at the door, blocking the way.

Little Guizai put his hands on his hips, his little face flushed red, he was so wronged.

Chu Chen was inexplicably guilty, and walked up, stroking his head to appease the little guy.

However, the little ghost boy was really angry now, he avoided his hands, and stared at Chu Chen with an aggrieved look, making people hairy.

Chu Chen smiled awkwardly and explained:
"Well, little ghost boy, you misunderstood senior brother. This time I went home to pick you up, but I asked the porter. He said that master didn't come home from Sanya. Senior brother thought that you went out with master and couldn't go."

After a long explanation, the understanding little ghost finally became calm, and turned his attention to the golden stone.

"Hey, senior brother, do you want to practice [Pingkai Xiandong]?"

The little ghost asked curiously.

Chu Chen nodded: "I have been practicing the screen opening fairy cave talisman these days, and I finally made it."

"Senior brother, you are really powerful. Master had to work hard to practice this spell back then. I don't know how many times the yellow talisman book was discarded before I learned it."

The little ghost quietly broke the news to Chu Chen, but he didn't know that a black shadow quietly overshadowed him.

It was Daoist Xu Ping.

"Eh~ Master, why are you walking silently? You scared me to death." The little ghost slapped his chest wildly, still in shock.

There are no ghosts who are scared by people.

"Don't do anything wrong, what are you afraid of?"

Daoist Xu Ping glanced at Little Guizai angrily, ignored him, and looked at his apprentice Chu Chen:

"Teacher, can you open the fairy cave talisman on the screen?"

Chu Chen nodded.

Needless to say, Chu Chen wrote a screen opening fairy cave talisman in front of Daoist Xu Ping.

This time, Chu Chen seemed to be very perfunctory with the book talisman, and only played half of it.

Even so, Daoist Xu Ping was extremely surprised.

With Daoist Xu Ping's eyesight, he could tell at a glance that although this talisman was slightly green, it was full of courage and spirit, and there was basically no wrong writing on the head and foot of the talisman. No matter how you looked at it, it was a good quality talisman.

"Besides this talisman, what other talisman do you have?"

Chu Chen thought for a while, and wrote another cloud-riding talisman. This talisman was needed for the spell [Clouds on the soles of the feet], and it didn't appear in his heart temple. He learned it by himself.

For this, he is quite proud.

It is of great significance to him to cultivate spells with his own efforts instead of relying on his heart.

If he completely relies on Xinmiao, then he is a vassal of Xinmiao.

But he has the ability to practice spells, and he doesn't have to rely on the heart temple. The heart temple is a tool for him, a platform for him to comprehend Taoism and help him develop magical powers.

This is like the difference between having a sword and not having a sword.

A man can use a sword if he has one, but he must never be without a sword. A man without a sword has soft bones, so there is no such thing as a man.

The two seem similar, but they are actually very different.

Daoist Xu Ping didn't understand Chu Chen's inner journey. After seeing the "Chengyun Talisman", the surprise on his face subsided a little.

"The Chengyun Talisman book is a bit unfamiliar, far worse than the Pingkai Immortal Cave Talisman. It seems that you are very concerned about [Pingkai Immortal Cave]."

After finishing speaking, Taoist Xu Ping began to explain in detail the many key points of practicing the spell [Penkai Xiandong], and he explained everything in detail.

Chu Chen understood everything, but he also listened very carefully.

After the professor finished, Chu Chen thought about it, and finally decided to tell Long Jun about his invitation to join Jiuyou Pavilion.

Daoist Xu Ping was a little surprised:

"You didn't accept the sponsorship, but Lord Long actually brought you into Jiuyou Pavilion?"

Chu Chen nodded.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Compared with Di Yuanlong Lord, Chu Chen naturally believed in his master Xu Pingdao.

Daoist Xu Ping turned his head away and said: "It's okay, it's not a bad thing. I've heard about Jiuyou Pavilion as a teacher. It's a great thing for you to join Jiuyou Pavilion. I'm surprised that Lord Long is so optimistic about you."

After that, he added:

"This is no longer an ordinary value, but a firm belief that you will have great fortune in the future, so I pulled you into Jiuyou Pavilion early."

Chu Chen was even more surprised.

The source of all this comes from Yuehua Shenjiu, from the "Golden Light Mantra".

It seems that he still underestimated the Golden Light Curse.

"Master, since this is the case, then have I contacted Jiuyoumeng?"

"Well, we are not intoxicated with alchemy, and making friends with fellow practitioners is also a kind of practice."

Daoist Xu Ping nodded, and solemnly instructed: "You just need to remember one thing, don't associate with evil cultivators, just do things that hurt nature and reason."

"Master, the disciple knows."

Chu Chen nodded in response.

Speaking of hurting nature and reason, he thought of the bone empress who stole life and soul.

"Master, does that Bone Empress have any clues?"

Daoist Xu Ping shook his head: "Since being encircled and suppressed by our Dachang Immortal Court, this monster has become extremely cunning and extremely difficult to deal with."

"After the last encirclement by County Magistrate Xu, she became more cautious, and she basically didn't show up. She often sent her little demons, or tricked mortals to do things for her, quietly stealing people's lives."

"These days, we managed to find the clues. Just as we searched upwards, the clues were immediately broken."

"Master, after the identity of Empress Bone Bone is exposed, she still dares to steal her soul, she is too courageous."

Chu Chen was secretly surprised, this Bone Empress is too rampant.

"Why don't you dare? This Bone Empress cultivates with her soul, and the souls of the people of the human race are especially suitable for her practice. Back then, she was bombarded by the monks of Xianting to a wisp of her soul. The soul can make a comeback, and she eats too much big fish and meat, how can she be willing to be a vegetarian."

When Daoist Xu Ping mentioned the Bone Empress, a savage look flashed across his face, full of murderous intent.

"According to the confessions of the little demons and human prisoners who have been caught these days, hundreds of thousands of people have been persecuted by this bone demon over the years. They have been stolen by the bone demon unknowingly. People grow old and die."

Chu Chen was speechless when he heard the words.

Hundreds of thousands of people suffered.

Now the Bone Empress is much more harmful than when she massacred the village in her heyday.

The most important thing is that this is only the number of captured little demons. It is impossible to guarantee how many souls have been stolen by the bone demon and how many people have been endangered.

Perhaps, this is just the tip of the iceberg, she may have stolen millions of souls.

Big monster, real big monster!

Chu Chen felt chills in his heart. If he hadn't just entered Taoism that day, he might also be one of the victims.

"Has no one discovered the Bone Demon Stealing Soul in these years?"

Chu Chen asked.

"Some people have known it for a long time, but unfortunately, they chose to work together with the Bone Demon and work hand in hand."

Daoist Xu Ping had a gloomy gaze and a look of regret.

Chu Chen was taken aback for a moment, guessing something, with a look of astonishment on his face.

"Master, are you saying that someone in the court colluded with the Bone Demon?"

Daoist Xu Ping looked serious:
"The mountain god consecrated by the imperial court has hooked up with the Bone Demon, and the evidence is convincing!"

Chu Chen frowned: "Master, according to the usual practice, mountain gods hook up with monsters to harm people, what should I do?"

Taoist Xu Ping slowly spit out the eight characters:

"Cutting down mountains and destroying temples, raising altars and slaughtering gods"
