The appearance of Lin Ji put both sides, who were originally evenly matched, into a dilemma.
Originally, although Feng Zhiruo and his companions were only traveling for a day, they had all fallen from the realm of Taoism. Together they faced a Taoist whose life was about to expire and whose strength was greatly reduced, and they did not suffer any loss.
It was precisely because of this that they dared to yell at Yu Xiao.
But the appearance of Lin Ji at this moment turned the originally evenly matched situation into a three-legged confrontation, especially when everyone present understood that Lin Ji represented Jian Tiansi, and it was difficult to offend, and they could not join forces.
Seeing that several people were silent, Lin Ji obviously realized the embarrassment of the situation.
But he didn't care about this. He didn't care about the so-called Lancheng ruins from the beginning. His purpose of coming here was just to explore the secret of the red-haired god and see if there was any way to deal with him.
Therefore, he didn't speak when he saw several people, and simply said impatiently: "Everyone, Lin never likes to meddle in other people's business, but he is more curious. If you don't answer Lin's question... Hey, Lin
Turn around and leave, within three days there will be several Taoist monks from Supervisor Tiansi arriving here, and it won't be up to you to say anything when the time comes."
Listening to Lin Jina's teasing voice, the other three people present did not dare to take it seriously.
"Fellow Taoist Lin." In the end, Feng Zhiruo said hesitantly, "Fellow Taoist Lin." It was obvious that she was still not used to it.
"Miss Feng, please speak. Lin is all ears."
Feng Zhiruo said helplessly: "Zhong Chu was the last king of Xilan Kingdom at that time, and he was also the first monk in Victoria at that time."
After hearing this, Lin Ji suddenly became interested.
"This happened a thousand years ago, right? There was no Great Qin at that time."
"That's right." Feng Zhiruo nodded, "At that time, Zhong Chu had already reached the limit of entering the Taoist realm. He tried to trigger the earth fire underground in Lan City for him to comprehend, but in the end he was burned down, and Lan City also became a
Dead city."
"Oh, it's quite a scene." Lin Ji listened with great interest and followed him with all his heart.
Feng Zhiruo continued: "After the earth fire spread, only Zhong Chu, the instigator in the entire Lan City, survived by relying on his perfect cultivation. However, because he killed hundreds of thousands of people in the city, his resentment was felt day and night.
If you don’t let it go, it will be difficult to understand the thoughts in your heart.”
Hearing this, Lin Ji had some thoughts.
"Zhong Chu is the red-haired god? After his death, he turned into resentment and guarded Lan City?"
"That's right." Feng Zhiruo nodded.
Lin Ji became more and more confused. If this was really the case, then there would be a new problem.
"The lifespan of a monk who has entered Taoism is less than a thousand years. Even the old immortal who spends all his time in health is already extraordinary if he lives to be seven or eight hundred years old..."
When he said this, Lin Ji was keenly aware of Yu Xiao's sharp gaze.
There was some apology on his face and he cupped his hands at Yu Xiao, and then continued: "If Zhong Chu is a red-haired god, how did he transform himself into what he is now? I fought with him before, except for the red-haired god in his body.
Apart from being lifeless, everything else is the same as a living person..."
Speaking of this, Lin Ji's face showed a bit of curiosity and fear.
"He's not trying to seize the body, is he?"
Feng Zhiruo nodded, shook his head, and then pointed to the ground.
"Underground in Lan City there are not only earthly fires, but also yin evil spirits. This is both a very yang place and a very yin place. The convergence of yin and yang makes it a rare treasure."
"go on."
"After Zhong Chu was backfired by the earth fire, his cultivation level plummeted. Later, in order to guard Lan City to atone for his sins, his soul left the body and cut off the connection with his physical body, and then borrowed the power of the evil here to convert his body
The body was transformed into a living corpse...and then took away his own body."
Hearing this, Lin Ji's eyes widened.
"Took away his own body?"
This sounds strange.
Seize yourself?
Feng Zhiruo smiled bitterly and said: "When I first heard about this, I was as surprised as fellow Taoist Lin... Zhong Chu said that he didn't want to hurt innocent people anymore, so he had to do this."
"So now he only has the cultivation level of the peak of the Japanese tour? In more than a thousand years, he has taken possession of his body at least two or three times, and he can still have such a cultivation level. It's really amazing." Lin Ji sighed.
Lin Ji had seen some of them before and after The Man Who Hidden Heaven.
Not to mention the previous tantric sects who raised gifted children and kept the demonic monks to seize their bodies.
Or maybe he's a bad guy like Tianji who keeps his apprentice as a spare body.
Even those who come from the Taiyi Sect like Feng Zhiruo will try their best to choose a body with higher talent when they are fighting for a body.
A person like the red-haired god who refines his body into a living corpse and then seizes the body is destined to have no further achievements in his life, plus he has to pay a huge price every time he seizes the body.
In fact, he just lingered for more than a thousand years.
However, there are some advantages to this. There is already a place of evil in Lancheng. This kind of place supports the physical body of living corpses. Not only does it not have to worry about the physical body decaying, but the physical body will become more condensed.
In a sense, the body of the red-haired god can be regarded as a thousand-year-old rice dumpling.
No wonder it's so hard.
The origin of the red-haired god was explained, and Lin Ji asked: "What is the origin of the half-step ghost king? Why can he snatch the body of the red-haired god?"
"I don't know. We just received a message from Zhong Chu, saying that we couldn't suppress the Half-Step Ghost King anymore, so we were invited to come to Lancheng to help him." Feng Zhiruo said.
"Do you still have contact with Zhong Chu? This 'us' is talking about you people who are hiding from the sky, right? What plan do you have? You have contacts with people as far away as the far west. It seems that your plans are not small."
Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
Feng Zhiruo shook his head.
"It's just hanging on for a while. There is a plan, but there is no conflict with the Tianjian Si. Otherwise, the tyrannical Jiantian Si will not let us do what we do... Lin Daoyou, don't forget, I am also in the Tianjian Si
The one who left his name."
"That's true." Lin Ji laughed dumbly and ignored the matter.
Now the red-haired god is already a trouble. He is not stupid, so he will not cause trouble himself.
Lin Ji looked at Yu Xiao again.
"Mr. Yu came here because he took a fancy to the evil place in Lan City? On the contrary, your Yu family's Ice Evil Art, supplemented by this evil place, complements each other."
"This Lancheng is ownerless. I don't think Mr. Lin will stop my Yu family from moving here, right?" Yu Xiao said.
"Masterless? When the red-haired god retrieves the stolen soul essence, he will return here. Then the red-haired god will become a problem for your Yu family..."
While talking, Lin Ji slapped his forehead.
"That's right! If your Yu family wants this Lancheng ruins, you have to deal with the red-haired god! In this case, why should I bother? I just need to wait for the good news... I think with Mr. Yu's strength,
It should be easy to deal with an old Zongzi who has not yet entered Taoism, even if the old Zongzi is a bit weird and has many tricks."
