Black Mountain Old Ghost
Chapter 677 What is Zisui?
"Now that I've admitted my identity, everyone can be honest with each other in the future, and no one will think I'm being dishonest, right?"
After disconnecting, Hu Ma pondered for a while, sorting out his thoughts one by one.
In the end, the situation was at a delicate point. He needed the help of transmigrators to defeat the Meng family, and the transmigrators needed to borrow the name of the Zhensui Hu to gain momentum. The two sides were a perfect match.
But he had to admit that there was always a shadow in his heart.
The reason for the first transmigrator purge and the secrets of the Zhensui Bureau made him uneasy. He needed to investigate as soon as possible to feel at ease.
After thinking these things through, he called Miss White Wine.
She always took care of her health and went to bed early and got up early, so she always responded promptly when he called her. But this time, it took several calls before he heard her slightly tired voice, saying directly, "Did you receive the prescription I gave you?"
"Yes."
Hu Ma said, "I was just about to ask for advice."
"Once you see that prescription, you should understand."
Miss White Wine sighed softly and said, "Before, in Guazhou, after I got the prescription from the shopkeeper of Yiming Hall, I've been carefully studying it, and after searching through the books in the Caoxin Hall, the more I studied it, the more shocked I became."
"This legendary supreme Zisui (Purple Tai Sui) is actually..."
"..."
Hu Ma whispered, "Is it a person, right?"
This seemed like a shocking answer, but whether it was when he saw the prescription or now, he wasn't surprised.
"Accurately speaking, it's a kind of Qi that can be refined from a person."
Miss White Wine whispered, "It's not yang qi (calamity qi). Yang qi is the turbid breath exhaled after a person dies."
"This turbid breath is stained with people's birth, old age, sickness, and death, and their obsessions and unwillingness, which is the yin soul."
"But Zisui is more pure. It's something given by heaven and earth, and transcends matter. I can't even use some of the words from our previous life to describe it."
"I can only use some of the things I've learned in this world to call it spirituality, or something like a primordial soul. People are born as human beings, and demons and monsters gain spirituality, open their wisdom, and gain magic power, all from this..."
"It's not only present in the human body, but it's easier to find in the human body. It's actually the spirituality of this heaven and earth."
"..."
She paused slightly after saying this in one breath, and sighed softly, "The way Yiming Hall did it was to force this breath out of the child's body while it hadn't been too stained with worldly karma and was still pure, and then refine it with elixirs and secret techniques."
"The prescription isn't perfect, and the Zisui that's refined may not be pure enough, but theoretically speaking, the Meng family and the Yan family are actually the same."
"It's just that one uses the Jitushe Shen (Entrusted Earth Snake God), and the other uses the Guanzhou City God."
"..."
Hu Ma listened to her words, and for the first time, he heard the invisible repression in the mouth of Miss White Wine, who always had a cold temperament, and slowly said, "I heard people say a long time ago that Tai Sui's flesh and blood and people are the two treasures in the eyes of those in the know."
"Looking at it now, at the Zisui stage, these two treasures have already become one?"
"..."
"Yes."
Miss White Wine slowly said, "But now, I haven't figured out why."
"Compared to our previous life, this world has too many similarities, and even some of the strange techniques in the sects conform to certain cognitions and laws, but as long as you study deeper, it will always make people feel chills."
"Because you'll find that everything we're familiar with is completely based on a bottom-level logic that's completely different from our previous life. The closer you get, the more confused you become..."
"..."
"Then let's go on the bridge!"
Listening to Miss White Wine's words, Hu Ma suddenly said in a low voice, "Once you're on the bridge, you can see the scenery on the other side."
"The farther you walk on the bridge, the more secrets you can learn."
"..."
"Yes..."
Miss White Wine was also silent for a long time before whispering, "It's time to go to the legendary bridge to take a look."
"I think I've already come into contact with some key things, but if I don't go on the bridge, I won't be able to truly understand."
Pondering, she remembered one thing, "What about you?"
"I'm also preparing to go on the bridge, and I'm ready to take that step at any time."
Hu Ma slowly said, "But before that, I need to go back to Laoyin Mountain. After all..."
"...It's almost the New Year."
"..."
"New Year?"
Miss White Wine, who was now a little mentally and physically exhausted, was surprised to hear this, "What time is it, and you're still thinking about the New Year?"
"The main thing is that there are a lot of things I need to figure out."
Hu Ma also smiled, and then carefully said, "Miss White Wine, when we first met, it was also in Laoyin Mountain. You were preparing to go to Laoyin Mountain to find something important."
"Later, I learned from Brother Erguotou that what you were looking for was the same as him, the Yin-Yang Two Scenery Disk in Fox Coffin Village, a treasure of the Ghost Dao..."
"However, Erguotou is on the Ghost Dao, so it's reasonable for him to know about this thing, but you..."
"..."
When he asked this question, he was very careful and measured.
The contact and communication between transmigrators were originally based on a sense of measure. If there were things that could be cooperated on, they would do it together. If they could borrow a favor and help out, they would help, but they wouldn't over-explore each other's secrets.
And Miss White Wine was stunned for a moment, as if she had experienced some deliberation, and suddenly said, "Actually, what I was looking for at that time wasn't the Yin-Yang Two Scenery Disk."
"What I was looking for was the thing that was being suppressed by the Yin-Yang Two Scenery Disk."
"It's just that when I arrived at Fox Coffin Village, met Erguotou, and confirmed that the thing wasn't something I could touch for the time being, I followed Erguotou's words and went along with the flow, pretending that I was also looking for this thing, and took back half of the Yin Disk."
"Of course, because this wasn't what I wanted in the first place, I later found an excuse and gave it back to him."
"..."
"Sure enough..."
Hearing Miss White Wine's answer, Hu Ma was a little surprised.
"Then you..."
He subconsciously asked, but was afraid of offending Miss White Wine, who had a cold temperament and usually liked to keep people away, so he stopped and explained in a low voice, "I have no intention of exploring your secrets, it's just that Laoyin Mountain is too important to me."
"It doesn't matter."
Miss White Wine said lightly, "The goals of the transmigrators are consistent, so they will eventually become confused."
"What you want to ask is nothing to me now."
"What I wanted to go to Laoyin Mountain to find at that time was actually the former Shangjing Twelve Ghost Altars."
She slowly said, "It's said that these Shangjing Twelve Ghost Altars were originally used to suppress some strange things of heaven and earth. We once targeted this thing in Shangjing."
"According to the news we've gathered, this thing was moved out of Shangjing more than ten years ago, and the Ten Surname Ancestral Shrine was replaced. After it was moved away, it was placed in Laoyin Mountain, out of sight."
"At that time, none of the transmigrators dared to go on the bridge. If they wanted to protect themselves, they could only seek external objects, and the most powerful external object in the world was the Twelve Ghost Altars."
"These pieces of information were all investigated by the leader of the transmigrator organization we followed in Shangjing at that time, codenamed Daughter Red. She was a very powerful but mysterious person. Miss Red Wine and I both received her help."
"In fact, after learning about the affairs of the previous generation of transmigrators, I once thought she was the liaison..."
"It should be the bridge connecting the previous generation of transmigrators and us."
"It's a pity that she had an accident early on. Until now, Miss Red Wine and I haven't been able to find out any news about her."
"..."
"The Shangjing Twelve Ghost Altars are also in Laoyin Mountain?"
Listening to this news, Hu Ma couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart, and he could infer more from this news.
These Twelve Ghost Altars are also in Fox Coffin Village, being suppressed by the Yin-Yang Two Scenery Disk?
"Yes."
Miss White Wine slowly said, "That time, I did see the Twelve Ghost Altars."
"It's just that that thing made me realize that it wasn't something I could touch, so I only saved Erguotou."
"..."
"This is something that once replaced the Ancestral Altar..."
More and more things were connected in Hu Ma's heart, "Moreover, from some things that Brother Erguotou mentioned unintentionally, it can be known that the disappearance of the ghost walkers on the bridge seems to be related to this thing, and it's now in Laoyin Mountain..."
These things had made Hu Ma more and more certain that it was time to return to Laoyin Mountain.
Now that he had firmly grasped the Zhensui Bureau in his hands, going on the bridge was only a matter of thought, the Meng family had been damaged, avenging this blood feud and taking back his mother-in-law, he had also seen hope.
Then, what was troubling him was only some secrets of the Zhensui Hu family. He had a strong intuition that the Shangjing Twelve Ghost Altars, which were once closely related to the disappearance of the ghost walkers on the bridge, was the last link in solving this mystery.
And also seeing Miss White Wine's frankness, Hu Ma paused slightly and said, "Thank you."
"Miss White Wine, what you said is very important to me."
"But since you're so frank with me, then I should tell you one of my secrets too..."
"..."
He paused and whispered, "Actually, I'm the Hu family's..."
Miss White Wine said, "The Hu family's children and grandchildren, right?"
"I know."
"I guessed it the first time I saw you. That idiot, Red Wine, was also guided by me to think that way."
"..."
"Eh?"
Hu Ma's emotions were disrupted by one sentence, "Another one who knows?"
"No!!!"
Just thinking of Miss Red Wine, Hu Ma suddenly realized something, and his scalp went numb, "She..."
"Does she really know?"
"..."
The next sentence almost blurted out, "Then why did you..."
Miss White Wine said lightly, "Because I was entrusted to protect you in any situation."
