Chapter 42 The Living Lightning Woman, Communicating with the Underworld
"interesting."
"It was actually this kid."
Fu Xuan was somewhat surprised to see Wang Ye's terrified face.
Half an hour ago.
He has just returned to Tianxia Group.
After settling the Ma family and the people of Biyou Village, he went into Youdu and placed the green lantern made from Zhao Guizhen's soul. He then placed the souls of the seven children in Fengdu City and checked on Zheng Zibu's progress.
Suddenly, I realized something had changed on the Road to the Underworld...
The two of them then came together to investigate.
"It's Third Brother's Feng Hou Qi Men!"
When Wang Ye used "Feng Hou Qi Men", Zheng Zibu immediately recognized him. Back then, all thirteen of them who had mastered the extraordinary skill had demonstrated it to each other and were familiar with each other's unique techniques.
But it's clear that this young Taoist priest is not Zhou Sheng; he can only be his successor, judging by his disheveled hair and lazy demeanor...
It can only be Wang Ye.
As for how this kid got into Youdu, it all started with Zhou Sheng helping to create this formation. As the most powerful sorcerer in the world, he could naturally see the benefits of this formation...
So they left a "back door".
Like shamans, sorcerers also emphasize self-cultivation and feeling the world. Therefore, cultivating in this Youdu Grand Scheme is very beneficial. In order to enable future "Feng Hou" successors to make rapid progress, the connection between this scheme and Feng Hou Qimen has been strengthened.
Of course, under normal circumstances, even if one has mastered the "Feng Hou Qi Men", one cannot directly enter Youdu. One needs Zhou Sheng's guidance; otherwise, Wang Ye would have discovered this place long ago.
However, the answer he obtained from asking about the inner scene was already closely related to Fu Xuan, the Feng family, and You Du. Furthermore, his use of the "Feng Hou" bug inadvertently activated this "backdoor"...
It also saved his own life.
If things had gone according to plan, Wang Ye's calculated answer would still have been far-reaching implications, but with Feng Hou Qi Men in hand, obtaining even a little bit of information wouldn't have been fatal.
With Fu Xuan's involvement, the answer no longer only concerns the martial world, but even the entire realm. If he hadn't entered Youdu at the crucial moment, his soul would have been devoured...
There is absolutely no chance of survival!
"It seems there's more to it than that..."
After observing for a short while, Fu Xuan saw through the clues and understood everything, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
What a coincidence!
He could sense that Wang Ye also possessed his own Qi, but it was not the kind passed down in recent times; rather, it could be traced back a thousand years, and his ancestral bloodline was closely related to his own…
"They are descendants of Wang Dingliu."
Wang Dingliu was a man from Jiankang Prefecture during the late Northern Song Dynasty. He lived by the Yangtze River and ran a tavern with his father to make a living selling wine in his early years.
He enjoyed swimming and martial arts. Although he had studied under many masters, he had not received the true teachings. Later, he befriended Zhang Shun, who was on a mission from Liangshan. He helped Zhang Shun kill his enemies and then joined Liangshan.
This person is one of the 108 generals under Fu Xuan, ranked 104th. Despite his low ranking, he has an extremely rare talent—the ability to summon spirits and summon souls!
Her nickname, "Living Flash Granny," comes not only from her lightning-fast movements but also from her resemblance to the giant dragon in the Yangtze River, and from her ability to summon spirits...
The term "Shanpo" refers to a person who can communicate with ghosts and spirits.
After joining Liangshan and obtaining the Qi of Subduing Mystery, his ability to summon souls was completely elevated, transforming into "Communicating with the Netherworld," one of the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends of Liangshan...
It can not only communicate with spirits and summon spirits.
It can even escape into the netherworld!
Before the establishment of Youdu, "Youming" referred to the inner realm. However, unlike ordinary entry into the inner realm, Wang Dingliu was able to enter with his physical body and maintain the stability of his soul through the method of "communicating with the Youming".
The inner vision is full of illusions. Those who lack concentration and meditation skills are easily trapped in them and unable to extricate themselves. However, if one uses the physical body as a barrier, one can distinguish between reality and illusion, break through the illusions, and even escape through the inner vision.
Just as the physical world has spatial distinctions and directions, so too does the inner world, which corresponds one-to-one with the physical world. However, because each person's inner world is relatively independent, they cannot see the real scene.
It was precisely because of this that no one except the people of Liangshan could figure out the principle behind Wang Dingliu's escape technique. If it weren't for Master Ziyang's supreme power in killing him before he could escape into his inner realm, he would have been able to save his life.
The wealthy Wang family and the Wang Ye before us are descendants of Wang Dingliu. Back then, to leave a contingency plan, Fu Xuan had already arranged marriages for the Liangshan heroes and hidden their bloodline to ensure its continuation.
Over the course of these long millennia, some people's bloodlines have been severed for various reasons, while others have been passed down to this day. However, due to the passage of time, the Qi fused in their bloodlines has become increasingly thin, so they can only be sensed when they are close to each other.
That's why...
Fu Xuan said, "It's not just that."
It was only because Wang Ye possessed the same talent as his ancestors that he was able to enter Youdu so smoothly.
Fu Xuan had originally intended to recruit Wang Ye at this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, and now that Wang Ye had come to him of his own accord, and was also a descendant of an old friend, it made things much easier...
He immediately raised his hand to subdue him.
Infuse your own Qi.
"Well?!"
Only then did Wang Ye see the face of this "Black Impermanence" clearly, his eyes widening in surprise: "You're the 'Millennial Demon' wanted by the company!"
Immediately afterwards, he felt something inside his body, and something was slowly emerging from the depths of his soul. His pupils contracted, and images flashed through his mind...
Those are the memories of our ancestors...
It's right in front of you!
"Take a good look..."
This is precisely the "mechanism" that Fu Xuan designed for the descendants of Liangshan. When a Liangshan member dies, their memories are integrated into the bloodline of their descendants and passed down from generation to generation until they meet him and are activated by him.
At this very moment, Wang Ye was experiencing everything that Wang Dingliu had gone through, learning the truth of what happened back then. When he saw the Liangshan heroes rising up for the people, only to be falsely accused of being "demons" by the so-called "righteous path," he couldn't help but feel indignant...
"This is the truth of what happened back then."
"It's based on your ancestor's personal experience."
"Now, do you still think I'm a 'demon'?"
"Is this all... real?"
After digesting all of this, Wang Ye was stunned. He had heard his master talk about the "suppressing demons" and had even marveled at the immortal appearance of Master Ziyang, but who knew that the truth would be like this.
"So, the so-called 'suppression of demons' is nothing more than a means to preserve that corrupt royal family?"
"That's exactly right."
"As for this warrant, it's not entirely because of the name 'demon,' but also to preserve the rule of the so-called 'ordinary people,' which you should understand."
Fu Xuan walked up to him.
Remove the restrictions on him.
"And as a descendant of Wang Dingliu, I'll give you three choices..."
"Firstly, join my ranks like your ancestors, help me complete that unfinished task, and usher in the great era of extraordinary beings that is bound to come. I promise you the possibility of reaching the heavens."
"Secondly, I will set you free, but with restrictions: you cannot and will not reveal anything about me to anyone, and you must not become my enemy."
"Thirdly, if you can't do the second point, then I'll erase your memories, cripple your physical constitution, and let you live as an ordinary person for the time being..."
You have one hour to think about it.
Choose carefully.
