The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 835 - 386: Worldly Free King Buddha (Part 2)
When he fell asleep, his entire body's Qi-blood wafted like incense smoke, gracefully seeping into the void.
Soon after, the Evil Buddha whispered, "Where are the Oxhead and Horseface of the Underworld."
In an instant, ripples surged in the space, and two ghostly figures appearing as oxhead and horseface entered the meditation room.
The two ghostly figures displayed expressions of terror.
Among them, the ox head bowed toward the void, "I don't know which great deity performed such divine skills, summoning us to this Land of the End of the Dharma."
This place was a forbidden land of the Underworld, notorious for its name.
It's absolutely impossible for ghostly figures of the Underworld to enter here.
Unexpectedly, these two unlucky souls, who were playing Pai Gow in Wangsi City, were summoned here by some mighty figure using divine skills.
Truly, trouble comes from the heavens while one sits at home.
"This Taoist's lifespan has ended, how hasn't he entered the Underworld?" A Buddha's voice rang in the void, and a Buddha's light enveloped the Oxhead and Horseface.
The two soul hookers of the Underworld instantly understood the other party's meaning.
Strange indeed.
Even though it is the Land of the End of the Dharma, where yin spirits and ghosts cannot enter, the living beings here all have names in the Book of Life and Death and must visit the Underworld when the time comes.
But although this Taoist's lifespan has ended, he still hasn't gone to the Underworld.
Usually, soul hookers wouldn't know about such matters, and even if they did, they couldn't just ignore it.
The problem is, in the Land of the End of the Dharma, they can do nothing.
"Since you know of this, you two should fulfill your duties then."
A fragrant wind swept by, and the Oxhead and Horseface were involuntarily blown outside. When they regained composure, they found both of them had corporeal forms, their Qi-blood full and robust, clearly indicating martial artists of the mortal world, rather than ordinary martial artists.
"Ox brother, we have bodies now."
For ghost spirits, the greatest wish is to have a physical body, to experience all the sights and sounds of the world.
Moreover, their bodies were human.
"I wonder which Ancient Buddha has such a method to allow us to seize a physical form in this Land of the End of the Dharma." The ox head was shocked beyond measure.
Horseface: "Ox brother, this is rumored to be a dojo of the Supreme from ancient times. Despite the Magic Ban, who knows which deity left relics. Let's serve this Buddha's task and see if we can conveniently find some treasures to take back to the Underworld and flatter the Judge, to get ourselves a good job position."
The ox and horse in the Netherworld and the mortal world are no different, mere expendables.
But even expendables have distinctions of rank.
Some expendables don't have to work and can benefit and demand bribes, and are even listed in the Yellow Book of the Underworld, which is an unshakeable lifelong iron rice bowl.
Even if a hero charges into the Underworld, overthrowing the regime, these clerks and government officials of the Underworld are mostly unaffected, potentially even enjoying a raise in status.
The status of the two ox and horse in the current Underworld is akin to temporary workers in the mortal world.
If they can cozy up to the Judge, it's a mere stroke of the pen to become permanent employees.
If they gain listing in the Underworld's registry, enduring for many years, they might have a chance to climb the ranks.
If their name isn't in the Yellow Book of the Underworld, when a strongman invades the Underworld, they are the first to charge forward; if they get killed, they are just killed.
Moreover, the Yellow Book of the Underworld and the Book of Life and Death are interconnected; if a god of the Underworld in the Yellow Book dies, they can be resurrected at a cost.
But temporary workers like the ox and horse do not enjoy such treatment.
In fact, the current Underworld is also not peaceful, with many strongmen dominating different regions, devoid of order.
The two ox and horse made a plan, each picking up the sword beside them, sneaking out to fulfill the task for that Buddha. They understood they were summoned for such a task.
If they failed, such a great power, even in the Land of the End of the Dharma, would have means to deal with them.
After all, they are yin spirits of the Underworld, and soon they became familiar with their bodies, figuring out the identity of their current physical forms, which turned out to be two disciples of the Kunlun Sect who cultivated a set of Tai Chi Swordsmanship.
There are many Tai Chi Swordsmanships in the world, with many legends flowing in the Underworld as well.
The most famous among them is the legendary Taiyi Splitting Light Sword.
As for the array of the Tai Chi Dao is the Tai Chi Dust Array, which is as renowned as the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
In all the heavens and universe, its fierce reputation is notorious.
Following the Evil Buddha's Buddha Light's provision of clues, the two ox and horse memorized the aura of the Taoist Xu Qing who should have died.
Under the deep cover of night, the two ox and horse sneaked over.
They were both in the guest room, not far from Xu Qing.
In this Land of the End of the Dharma, the God of the Underworld cannot directly perform divine skills, but that's not to say there aren't other ways.
For instance, the Qi-blood of the current physical forms of the two ox and horse can precisely be used with the blood sacrifice method, to manifest powerful spiritual power.
The two ox and horse were cautious in their task, directly sacrificing their Qi-blood, wielding a great soul-hooking hand.
…
…
Xu Qing was meditating in the guest room when suddenly he felt a lightness all over.
"This is..."
His entire body shone brightly, and suddenly he felt the heavens and earth become clear. At the same time, the rules and principles between heaven and earth transformed into threads, presenting themselves in his eyes.
The profound mysteries contained in the Yi Jing annotation that Xu Qing had been contemplating recently were now displayed with unparalleled clarity and depth in his eyes.
"This is... the Primordial Spirit."
Xu Qing heard a shout, pulling his thoughts away from the mysteries of heaven and earth.
This was equivalent to interrupting his enlightenment!
Xu Qing felt displeased, looking toward the other.
The two Taoists looking at him were trembling.
At this moment, Xu Qing was in a Primordial Spirit state, naturally possessing the Taoist Dharma Eye, seeing right through the two Taoists, who were actually possessed by two yin ghosts.
"Where do you come from?" Xu Qing furrowed his brow.
The two ox and horse of the Underworld could never have imagined that the mortal Taoist whose soul they wanted to capture already had his soul transformed into a Primordial Spirit.
How is this possible?
In the Land of the End of the Dharma, no man becomes an immortal.
Where did this Primordial Spirit come from?
Even if someone in the Land of the End of the Dharma comprehended the Immortal Dao, it cannot be possible in this world.
Only when they saw Xu Qing in his Primordial Spirit form did the two ox and horse realize they had stirred up major trouble.
Now that they realized they had kicked the hornet's nest.
Xu Qing, in his Primordial Spirit state, actually had some divine power restored. With a single glance.
Xu Qing quickly sensed a terrifying danger, knowing that he couldn't maintain his Primordial Spirit state for long, otherwise, a great catastrophe would surely come, so he promptly returned his Primordial Spirit to his body.
He was about to open the door when he suddenly noticed two figures dressed as Kunlun Sect Taoists collapsed outside the door, shivering.
Just as he was about to question, suddenly, the two Kunlun-dressed figures outside the door fell, trembling uncontrollably.
He was about to question when suddenly, the two Taoists fell to the ground at the door, trembling with fear.
Before Xu Qing could ask, they vanished into smoke.
Not giving Xu any chance to investigate further.
The commotion startled other worldly society members.
…
…
"These two disciples were the most promising of Mr. Kunlun Sect, having successfully cultivated the Tai Chi Swordsmanship. Who would have thought they would die at Daoist Xu's door? We must ask Daoist Xu for an explanation."
Many people in the worldly society saw the two Taoists dying right outside Daoist Xu's door.
You could say, even if Xu Qing jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't wash himself clean.
Moreover, after the two Taoists died, their faces showed an eerie smile, just like when the Abbott of Shaolin Temple passed.
There was no way to clear Xu Qing of suspicion.
Even if he had led an upright life, blaming the Quanzhen Sect would still deal a major blow.
The key is, Xu Qing himself is also completely baffled.
How could these two mythical Cow and Horse Yin Spirits, who could pull out Xu Qing's Primordial Spirit, die in such an inexplicable manner?
If Xu Qing could understand the principle behind this, he would be able to use it to draw his Primordial Spirit in this world.
When Xu Qing was questioned by the high monks of the Shaolin Temple, he calmly replied, "If I wanted to kill them, why would I use such underhanded methods?"
Faced with the Shaolin Temple monk's question, Xu Qing calmly replied. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"However, how can this matter be explained?"
It currently seems that the way these two Taoists died is exactly the same as the circumstances of the death of your abbott at Heavenly Lake.
Xu Qing's suspicion cannot be washed away.
Even if he lived an upright life, and had nothing to do with this, he still remained the prime suspect of this death.
Even though he said to the Shaolin Temple monk, "I don't need to use such devious methods to kill."
