Chapter 122: Pledge of Alliance

This is a big temptation.

Perhaps for Li Changge and Yao Pei, a relic of a predecessor with only heavenly strength is nothing, because they have no shortage of masters to deploy, especially Li Changge, as the third heir to the head of the Li family, the power in his hands is far beyond the imagination of others, and he must not be simply regarded as a deputy hall master.

But for Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, that is another situation.

The Zhang family does have many masters, but Zhang Yuelu cannot mobilize them without the support of the family. As a deputy hall master, Zhang Yuelu also has power, but his foundation is still shallow and he lacks direct confidants. In many cases, he inevitably feels stretched.

As for Qi Xuansu, it goes without saying. He is basically alone, and is not as good as Zhang Yuelu. Now he has hundreds of spiritual officials, which is indeed very impressive, but once he leaves the Imperial Capital Daofu, he will become a lonely man again. Although he could still ask the three Yin objects in the Cave Heaven of Ghost Country to take action, and it was indeed invincible, the conditions were rather harsh, and Qi Xuansu had only found two opportunities so far.

Of course, the two would not violate moral precepts to provide living souls and flesh and blood, but it was only "Returning Soul Incense", which had no effect, and it only cost Taiping money.

As for the three corpses killing Lin Lingsu, it is difficult to judge right and wrong with the good and evil of the world, because the two are natural enemies. Lin Lingsu himself was a three corpse, and later he turned into a human. He was killed by his own three corpses, which was equivalent to the three corpses killing the three corpses, and it was not even considered murder. This is like two tigers fighting, one must be injured. Do people still have to uphold justice for the injured or dead tiger?

Furthermore, although Lin Lingsu was not the culprit for the fall of the Great Jin Dynasty and the sinking of the Shenzhou Land, he was also one of the many sinners who led to the fall of the Great Jin Dynasty. This can be seen from the attitudes of the True Lord Qingxu Yuanmiao and the True Man Changchun. The incarnation of the Three Corpses killed Lin Lingsu, which in a sense seemed like the retribution of the cycle of heaven.

Because of this, Qi Xuansu did not insist on killing the Three Corpses.

However, the two were not carried away. Qi Xuansu said: "How can we restrain you? If you take our "Returning Soul Incense" and then turn your face and deny us, or just walk away, wouldn't we suffer a loss?"

Yi Tui was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "You seem to have the power of Taiyin, so do you know the "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin?"

Qi Xuansu said: "I know a little bit."

Yi Tui said: "In this case, we can swear an alliance."

Zhang Yuelu's face changed slightly.

For ordinary people, the so-called "swearing an alliance" is just a solemn formality. Even if it is really violated, it is nothing.

But for the people of the Taoist sect, "swearing an alliance" is a ritual, and it has another name - the oath of the inner demon!

The oath of the inner demon comes from the "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin". The strength of the inner demon is closely related to the host. The higher the realm of the host, the stronger the inner demon. If the oath is violated, the inner demon will immediately attack. At the least, it will go astray and greatly damage the cultivation. At the worst, it will fall into the realm and lose the cultivation.

Before the Taoist sect was unified, Zhang Jingxiu, the leader of the Southern Taoist sect, and Xu Wugui, the leader of the Central Taoist sect, confronted each other at the Jingchan Temple in Zhongzhou. The two sides agreed to swear the oath of the inner demon. Later, Xu Wugui survived a heavenly tribulation and fought several immortals alone without losing the upper hand. However, because of the oath of the inner demon that year, he was exchanged by Zhang Jingxiu, and the two ascended to heaven and passed away together.

The inside story is hard to explain in a few words. In the end, Zhang Jingxiu was able to exchange his son Xu Wugui for other factors, including the help of other immortals and the special geographical advantages of the Kunlun Cave Heaven Ascension Platform. All these factors are indispensable, not just because of the Heart Demon Oath. But even so, it can be seen that the Heart Demon Oath is powerful. Even immortals cannot erase it at will. For celestial beings, it is almost a golden rule that cannot be violated.

The remains continued: "If you can help me master this remains initially, then I will serve you for three years. If you can help me master this remains completely, then I will serve you for ten years. How about it?"

Qi Xuansu thought for a while and nodded in agreement - Zhang Yuelu did not learn the "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin", so he could not make the Heart Demon Oath, and Qi Xuansu had to come forward to form an alliance.

Zhang Yuelu did not dissuade him, but just said "be careful".

Then, Qi Xuansu revealed the "Taiyin Zhenjun Dharmakaya" and obtained the magical power of "Taiyin Thirteen Swords". He stretched out his index finger and pressed the center of his eyebrows, pulling out a virtual object from it, like a light.

The remains were still sitting still, and a light flew out of the center of his eyebrows.

The two light spots flew into the air, merged in mid-air, and then slowly dissipated into nothingness. This was the oath of the inner demon. If anyone dared to break the oath, he would be attacked by the inner demon.

After making the "heart demon oath", the two became close allies. Qi Xuansu put away the "Taiyin Dharma Body" and sheathed the "Fei Ying Bai", then said: "Nowadays, the world calls the Great Master of Taiping Dao of my Taoist sect the 'National Master'. The National Master of Dajin has passed away, and the term 'National Master Lin' is not easy to mention. In order to distinguish the senior from Mr. Tongzhen Daling, I will call the senior Lin Senior and Mr. Tongzhen Daling Mr. Lin. What do you think?"

Yi Tui said: "Okay. When Lin Lingsu became the National Master of Dajin, in addition to being called 'Mr. Tongzhen Daling' by the Emperor of Dajin, he was also called 'Jinmen Yuke' and 'Mr. Yuanmiao' by the world. If you are afraid of confusing us, you can also call me Lin Yuanmiao."

Zhang Yuelu interrupted: "One is Qingxu Yuanmiao Zhenjun and the other is Mr. Yuanmiao. If there is no connection between them, it really doesn't make sense."

Qi Xuansu asked: "I wonder what state of cultivation Senior Lin is now?"

Lin Yuanmiao said: "Qian Xiangyun once told me about the current system inheritance and realm division. I am now roughly equivalent to a heavenly being in the immeasurable stage. Because of this deity and Lin Lingsu, I am the inheritance of the banished immortal. "

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were not surprised, it could even be said that they were expecting it.

Lin Yuanmiao continued: "As long as you give me enough soul-returning incense, so that I can initially master this body, then I can restore the cultivation level of the creation stage. When I fully master this body, Then I can return to the level of pseudo-immortal you mentioned, which is the state of cultivation after Lin Lingsu was suppressed by Master Changchun. As for whether I can achieve immortality, it depends on my own destiny."

Qi Xuansu asked directly: "How much 'soul-returning incense' is needed for you to initially grasp the remains of this immortal?"

There is a soul-returning tree in the Kunlun Cave. It looks like a maple or a cypress. Its flowers and leaves smell fragrant for hundreds of miles. Take its roots and boil them in water in a cauldron to extract the juice. It is refined like lacquer, which is the soul-returning fragrance. The aroma can be smelled for hundreds of miles, and the dead body is on the ground. It is alive after smelling the scent, so it is called "returning to the soul".

Now Lin Yuanmiao is in a state of "dead body on the ground". If he wants to fully grasp the remains left by Lin Lingsu and completely integrate his soul and body, he can only use the "reviving incense", which means "smell the breath to make him alive" ”.

After Lin Yuanmiao heard Qi Xuansu's words, he didn't answer for a long time. It seemed that he didn't have a suitable unit of measurement.

Qi Xuansu thought for a while, took out a piece of incense stick from the Xumiwu, which was exactly the kind Qiniang gave him, and asked: "How much does this kind of 'soul-returning incense' need?"

The "soul-returning incense" that Qiniang sent to Qi Xuansu was only a low-grade "soul-returning incense" to enter the "dream meeting". A stick of incense costs one worry-free money, which is ten peace coins.

Lin Yuanmiao didn't make any move. A gust of wind swept the incense stick in front of him. He felt it silently for a moment and said, "Ten thousand of these incense sticks should be about the same."

Qi Xuansu almost stumbled.

Ten peace coins for a piece of incense requires ten thousand sticks, which is one hundred thousand peace coins.

To Qiniang, this was just a small amount, less than half a silver ship, but he really couldn't afford it.

Qi Xuansu looked at Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu said helplessly: "Don't look at me. If I sold the house in my name, I could get so much money, but it's a pity that I can't sell it."

Qi Xuansu let out a long sigh and asked: "What if you don't restore your realm? Just to be able to move freely, how much 'soul-returning incense' is needed?"

Lin Yuanmiao said: "Just a thousand sticks of this 'reviving incense' is enough."

Qi Xuansu's face was a little stiff. He very much doubted whether this senior Lin had divination skills and had already calculated accurately that he had just made a small fortune. Otherwise, how could he have said it so accurately, exactly 10,000 Taiping money?

Lin Yuanmiao also saw that Qi Xuan

Su's face looked wrong and he added: "If it is the best 'returning soul incense', maybe just a little is enough. Qian Xiangyun once gave me some, which restored me to the immeasurable stage."

Of course Qi Xuansu knew that there was a top-quality "soul-returning incense", but the price of that thing was not much different from a thousand sticks of incense.

Zhang Yuelu asked: "What compensation did you give Qian Xiangyun?"

Lin Yuanmiao said: "I am talking about credibility. She is my former ally. Although we have not made a covenant, I will keep her secret."

Zhang Yuelu frowned slightly.

Lin Yuanmiao paused for a moment, then continued: "Unless I add an additional hundred sticks of 'returning soul incense,'"

Zhang Yuelu directly took out ten large tickets and stuffed them into Qi Xuansu's hand: "Buy one hundred more."

Qi Xuansu smiled bitterly: "How can anyone use Taiping money to handle a case by themselves?"

Zhang Yuelu said calmly: "You can ask Jinque for reimbursement afterwards."

Qi Xuansu swallowed back the words of refusal that had reached his lips, and simply put away the ten large tickets.

"You can say it now." Zhang Yuelu looked at Lin Yuanmiao.

Lin Yuanmiao is also very knowledgeable: "Lin Lingsu left a Tongzhen Palace in Lingnan back then. I told her the approximate location of Tongzhen Palace. I can also tell you, but I have to pay more."

Zhang Yuelu couldn't afford more peace money, and she couldn't leave the Imperial Capital now, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Qi Xuansu pinched his eyebrows and said, "Qiniang is very respectable in Qibaofang, I can ask her."

Zhang Yuelu was not unhappy, but asked: "Is Qiniang also in the Imperial Capital?"

Qi Xuansu knew that there was no point in deceiving Zhang Yuelu anymore, so he couldn't hide it, so he said calmly: "It should still be there."

Zhang Yuelu suggested: "Shall I go with you to see her?"

Qi Xuansu coughed lightly: "I can just use the Zimu Talisman."
