With one of the men's shouts, colorful lights suddenly flashed in the medium - sized room.
In the flowing lights, a shape that resembled a deer but was not exactly a deer faintly appeared.
Bai Ze, the legendary divine beast.
How could there be Bai Ze's soul in the evil idol?
Everyone was stunned. Nian Nian also stared blankly at the strange sight in front of her.
Had the divine beast Bai Ze been captured by the Holy Cult?
This was a being almost on par with gods in legends.
It was simply terrifying!
"Don't panic, don't panic. This is just a wisp of Bai Ze's split soul. It should be that the avatar of Bai Ze wandering in the world was captured by the Holy Cult," Qing Yun Taoist Priest suddenly appeared at the door. His voice seemed to have a calming effect.
As soon as his voice fell, everyone calmed down. Looking closely at the illusory shadow, they realized it was just a wisp of split soul.
The divine beast Bai Ze was indeed very powerful.
But such a tiny wisp of split soul was only as powerful as an ordinary spiritual beast.
"Master!"
Nian Nian ran over to Qing Yun Taoist Priest cheerfully, pointing at her head and saying happily, "Master, there's a lot of new stuff in my head, and I feel that my spirit has become better than before."
"Accept it. It's the gift from Bai Ze," Qing Yun Taoist Priest stroked Nian Nian's little head. When he just came in, he saw a ray of brilliant light from Bai Ze's split soul drilling into Nian Nian's head.
The gift from a divine beast must be a good thing.
This time, their little apprentice had truly turned a crisis into a blessing.
"Ouch!"
Nian Nian nodded blankly, then closed her eyes to digest the new knowledge in her head.
There were so many inheritances of magic spells.
Among them, there were many lost magic spells, such as alchemy.
In traditional and orthodox Taoism, there was originally alchemy. Although it was not as miraculous as the legend of bringing the dead back to life and mending bones, it still had the functions of prolonging life and strengthening the body.
It could also cure some relatively serious diseases.
However, after several upheavals in orthodox Taoism, some inheritances were lost before they could be passed down.
Especially alchemy, which required years of experience and could only be learned under the guidance of a good master, had long disappeared in the long river of history.
Now, among the so - called "mountain, medicine, fortune - telling, physiognomy, and divination", the "medicine" only referred to traditional Chinese medicine.
Nian Nian happily received the new knowledge in her head, especially the inheritance related to medicine.
Her master knew everything and was good at everything, but he was completely ignorant of medicine.
Xiao Tuan Zi had never learned this before. Facing this relatively new knowledge, she couldn't wait to try it.
"Friend, these evil idols have been dealt with. What about that formation of ours..."
The uncle was only curious about Bai Ze for a moment. What he really cared about was the formation that had just been completed.
Nian Nian was now full of thoughts about alchemy and didn't have the patience to teach the uncle.
She looked around and found a piece of paper. Picking up the pen beside it, she split the runes and wrote them down on the paper exactly as they were.
The process and steps were written in great detail. After that, it was up to the uncle to figure it out on his own.
"Let's go. Let's go back first," seeing that Xiao Tuan Zi had finished, Qing Yun Taoist Priest took his little apprentice's hand and walked out.
They came in a hurry and left in a hurry. The uncle held the paper that Xiao Tuan Zi had left just now as if it were a precious treasure, while the others didn't even know what was going on. The master and his apprentices had disappeared from their sight.
By the time Meng Chang chased out, it was already too late.
The master and his apprentices had long disappeared without a trace.
He was left alone, looking dejected.
"Master, why did we leave so soon?"
Nian Nian held the snacks prepared for her by her third senior brother. Her cheeks were bulging like a little hamster's as she asked indistinctly.
"The man is dead."
"Dead?!"
Nian Nian was completely stunned. The old man's injuries were not fatal at all. How could he be dead?
"Alas. He was just sent there. Before we could ask a few questions, he suddenly died. There seems to be some kind of restriction on them. As long as they touch this restriction, they will die, and not even their souls will be left," Qing Yun Taoist Priest frowned as he said this. They had finally found a clue and caught a live prisoner, but before they could ask a few questions, the man was gone.
All their efforts had been in vain.
There was still no clue about the Holy Cult.
It was still a long way to reach their base camp.
"Oh, I know. When I was in the Underworld before, the old grandpa I met was the same. After saying a few words, his soul shattered," Nian Nian nodded slightly, remembering the old man that her second brother had accidentally captured in the Underworld.
Almost in an instant, his soul and body were destroyed, leaving not a trace.
It was estimated that this old grandpa was the same as that old man.
"Let's not talk about this. You've just recovered. Don't cause any trouble in the near future. Since we've come to the imperial capital, you might as well take this opportunity to have some fun. When you were a child, I didn't take you to see the world. This is a good opportunity for you to see the outside world," Qing Yun Taoist Priest put aside all his troubles. Remembering how curious and happy Xiao Tuan Zi was about everything the other day, he couldn't help but smile.
The whole Taoist temple had doted on Nian Nian as she grew up. But at that time, the Taoist temple was poor, and he was busy teaching Nian Nian Taoism. Nian Nian had actually missed out on the things that a child should enjoy in childhood.
As a master, he felt guilty for not giving his child a perfect childhood.
"Great! Great! I still want to go to Third Senior Brother's house and play," Nian Nian's eyes rolled around. She didn't know what she was thinking.
Suddenly, she proposed to go to Shen Weixun's house.
"Haven't you been at my place these days?" Shen Weixun pretended to be stupid. He knew which house Nian Nian was talking about, but he didn't want to go back at all.
"I want to see the place where Third Senior Brother used to live. Can't I?"
Nian Nian forced a mist of water to gather in her eyes. Her big, wet eyes stared at Shen Weixun without blinking. Even the most heart - hard person would soften at this moment.
Not to mention Shen Weixun, who had no resistance to Xiao Tuan Zi.
He almost immediately gave in. His actions were faster than his thoughts, and he nodded.
Wasn't it just going to his house?
Go!
Even if there were countless demons and ghosts in the house, he wasn't afraid!
As long as he was there, Nian Nian would never be wronged!
"Then let's not waste any time. Let's go now~"
Nian Nian cheered and directly decided the time to go. This left Shen Weixun completely stunned.
He had planned to make some arrangements in a few days.
But since Nian Nian had already decided, could he object?
Could he bear to object?
Of course not.
Finally, Shen Weixun had no choice but to instruct the driver to drive towards the Shen family's old mansion.
He just hoped that the ghosts and monsters in the house wouldn't be too presumptuous.
Otherwise, tonight would surely be a disaster for them.
