Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World - Chapter 111: We Are the Same
Things have become clear.
Qing Xu wants to refine Han Men, and Han Men wants to kill Qing Xu. The strength of the two may be similar, but Han Men is stronger. Qing Xu can’t beat Han Men down the mountain, but Qing Xu has the home field advantage on the mountain.
So everyone hopes to use external help.
Qing Xu preaches immortality to attract others to visit him. Han Men cut off the Wang Family’s water source and attract cultivators to check.
Their brain circuits are almost the same, so no wonder they are deadlocked.
In fact, I miss this very much, because I have exactly the same brain circuit. When I was at the Immortal Track Mountain, I also deliberately attracted others to seek immortals and eliminate tigers…
This is a common characteristic of people when their strength is insufficient. Their first choice is to find ways to rely on external forces. But I have changed a lot now. If time could go back, I might use other methods to deal with the problem in the Immortal Track Mountain.
Because it’s shit to pin hope on the others. When I first asked Cheng Cheng to refine the elixir, I still had to worry about her regretting it even after narrowly escaping death. Even if she regretted it, there was nothing I could do about it. I really don’t want to experience the feeling of everything depending on the other’s thoughts.
It is no longer important that the elixir was not used in the end. Maybe it will be used in the future. What is more important is what I gained from these experiences.
So I didn’t want to bet on what Venerable Mang Shan thought. In any case, improving myself is the most important guarantee.
In addition, the funniest thing about this matter is that both Han Men and Qing Xu are not telling the truth.
The biggest sense of inconsistency is that I’m merely a Phoenix Initiation Stage level 4 rookie and should not be valued so highly by both parties. Han Men said that he is too weak, but as the drought gets stronger, he can’t wait any longer, so he wants to look for a helper. This is logically consistent.
And what about this Qing Xu? What is he anxious about? The zombie refinement is about to break through, so he has to ask a Phoenix Initiation Stage level 4 rookie to help eliminate the beastkin? This is unreasonable.
These two cunts, if I am still the hot-blooded and righteous young boy, I would be played to death by them.
In Qing Xu’s eyes, Qin Yi pondered for a long time, and then he said, “I’m just an insignificant cultivator at Phoenix Initiation Stage level 4. Facing the Morphing Stage beastkin, I couldn’t even survive more than a hit. I can’t help taoist at all.”
“No, tao friend can help.” Taoist Qing Xu said with a smile, “The tricky part about this beastkin is that he is very slippery and difficult to restrain, but his flaw is that he has to pretend to be a human being and work as a shopkeeper every day. As long as someone secretly set up an array outside the restaurant while he was inside, he is just a trapped beast, and I can naturally subdue him.”
Qin Yi asked curiously, “Why don’t you let your people handle this matter?”
“That beastkin is extremely smart. He has already made arrangements in the town. Anyone who cultivates my way will inform him if entering the town, so I need an outside cultivator to handle this matter.”
Qin Yi nodded, “Then taoist can give me the array and I’ll try it.”
Qing Xu was overjoyed and took out a small flag, “This is the Dragon Imprisonment Flag. It can be divided into seven. As long as it is laid out in the shape of the Big Dipper outside the restaurant, he will be unable to escape.”
Qin Yi looked at the flag, smiled slightly, and slowly reached out to take it.
The joy on Taoist Qing Xu’s face became increasingly intense.
Qin Yi fiddled with the flag for a while. Suddenly, his hand shook, and the flag split into seven and spread out instantly, accurately forming the pattern of the Big Dipper around Taoist Qing Xu.
Qing Xu was shocked. He subconsciously retreated from the range of the array.
At the same time, a bolt of lightning struck at the exact position where Qing Xu retreated. Qing Xu immediately turned back and rushed in the direction of Qin Yi. The sanctimonious face was already full of ferocity.
“Bang!” A mace appeared in Qin Yi’s hand at some point, and he swung it.
Qing Xu looked horrified. He cast an earth shield. The mace couldn’t break the shield, but it forced Qing Xu back into the array.
The lightning dissipated, and the fat Han Men appeared. His fat face was full of surprise. His small eyes stared at Qin Yi as if he wanted to ask something, but it was no the time now.
Qing Xu, on the other hand, said furiously, “How can you collude with the beastkin to attack me?”
Qin Yi smiled slightly, “This set of flags contains the blood-stealing spell. If I don’t take precautions, I will be invaded by the yin qi in the flags, and my flesh and blood will be seized by you. Taoist, why not explain this first?”
Qing Xu was slightly startled. He took a serious look at Qin Yi, “How… are you unaffected? You have already seen through the gimmick in my flag? How?”
Han Men also looked at Qin Yi in surprise. He didn’t even know the gimmick in this flag.
Qin Yi smiled and said, “Killing and refining the beastkin to save the villagers? Well said. The righteous impulsive young hero who wants to eliminate beastkins and demons may really be deceived by you.”
Qing Xu said angrily, “Are you not a human cultivator!”
Qin Yi pouted, “I’m a human, but my sister is a beastkin. If you try to brainwash me with killing beastkins to preserve justice, forget it.”
Qing Xu and Han Men were surprised at the same time that they almost forgot their current situation.
The reason Qing Xu deceived Qin Yi with killing the beastkin was that no matter whether the human cultivator chose the good or evil path, it was politically correct to eliminate beastkins. Under normal circumstances, other matters could be put aside first for that. However, no one expected that Qin Yi’s sister was a beastkin.
“So to me, there is no distinction between human and beastkin. I only listen to the one who is more trustworthy.” Qin Yi sighed, “Although this fat guy is not telling all true, you should explain how to solve the drought causes by your zombie refinement art. Also, I also saw Taoist Qing He poisoning the Wang Family, and you try to deceive me to kill the beastkin?”
Qing Xu said coldly, “Even if I just want to use you to get rid of this beastkin, how do you know the gimmick in my flag?”
Qin Yi said, “Because this rumor about the immortal mountain has been around for more than a day or two. It’s impossible for me to be the first visitor, right? Where have all the previous visitors gone? Was there no onse who could help taoist? I’m afraid they have become the nourishment for the taoist to keep young instead of killing the beastkin.”
Qing Xu finally turned gloomy and said no more.
“It’s true that this flag is really useful in restraining leyline, which is beyond my expectation.” Qin Yi said with a smile, “It seems that taoist really intends to take this opportunity to get rid of this damn fat man and kill two birds with one stone?”
Han Men said dissatisfied, “Just fat man, can you not add the word ‘damn’? How did you guess that I was following you and would cooperate with you?”
“You have repeatedly talked about the small kingdom in the south. Of course, you have recognized my origin.” Qin Yi said faintly, “You have expectations for me, and you won’t give up like you used to do to others. You will probably try if there is something more you can do.”
Han Men praised, “As expected of a person who can be the state preceptor, your brain is very smart.”
Liu Su also nodded secretly. It hadn’t said a word since Qing Xu chased him down. All of this was indeed Qin Yi’s own judgment, including the judgment of the flag.
He did grow.
“So…” Qin Yi raised the mace and said with a cold tone, “Taoist, shouldn’t you tell me the solution of the drought caused by zombie refinement?”
Qing Xuhehe laughed louder and louder. The light rain on the immortal mountain suddenly exuded the noxious dead smell. A thick aura of death filled the mountain.
“Landlord Wang bullies the townspeople and forcibly seized the fertile land. How many people are dead under his hands? You guys turn a blind eye to it. I just don’t want to die. Is there a difference between what I do and Landlord Wang? You are the state preceptor of South Li Kingdom, right? Isn’t the South Li Kingdom sacrificing the commoners to serve the royal family? Everyone is the same. You guys take it for granted, and I’m guilty of the most heinous crime? All you hypocrit creatures die!”
TL: Next up, battle with the true cultivator, how will the fight turn out?
