After the white bone beads fell to the ground, the aura was not visible, as if they were polished from ordinary white bones.
If everyone hadn't just witnessed the power of the Bone God and Demon, they probably wouldn't have regarded this string of Bone Beads as a treasure.
Empress Shiji frowned slightly and looked at the string of bone beads. Finally, she reached out and put away the string of beads.
She is a disciple of Jie Jiao and an authentic Xuanmen sect. Even though the Bone God and Demon looks quite powerful, she doesn't take it seriously.
After all, it is a heretical thing. Ma Yuan developed the bad habit of cannibalizing people's hearts because he sacrificed these twelve Yuanchen bones to the gods and demons. Most orthodox Taoist monks stayed away from such evil things and rarely had any contamination.
Skull Mountain is an ancient battlefield, where countless corpses are buried. Over time, some ghosts will inevitably be born to harm people.
Although Shi Ji turned a stubborn rock into spirit and transformed into Skull Mountain, she was kind-hearted. After she became successful in Taoism, she saw that the people near Skull Mountain were repeatedly persecuted, and she once used great magic to send the mountains full of ghosts and monsters into reincarnation.
, and then his good reputation spread near Skull Mountain.
Now, Ma Yuanfu's execution can be regarded as eliminating another harm to the people nearby. From now on, business travelers no longer have to take the long way to Chentangguan.
Shiji let out a long breath, now that things were over, she was about to prepare to go to heaven.
"Let's go."
Qingluan landed in front of Qi Yuan and others, and Shi Ji called them to come up.
"Wait a moment."
Seeing that everyone was about to board Qingluan and leave this place, Qi Yuan rolled his eyes and quickly stopped everyone.
After all, Ma Yuan is also a cultivator who has become an immortal. His cave has been operating for many years, so there will definitely be some good things. If nothing else, these immortals who have attained enlightenment and longevity, won’t they plant some strange things in the cave?
Flowers and fruits, besides practicing, can you not collect some rare materials?
Wouldn't it be such a waste to just leave like this?
"Why, what else can you do, sir?"
Everyone didn't twist around as much as he did, and looked at him with some confusion.
"Well……"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Qi Yuan felt a little embarrassed.
However, his old face is not only full of wrinkles, but also very thick-skinned. Even if he blushes, others cannot see it.
He saw Qi Yuan showing a righteous expression and said righteously: "Mother, Ma Yuan is a cruel and violent person. Maybe there are some harmful skills or poisonous magic weapons left in his cave.
Maybe, in order to prevent people with evil intentions from using it to harm others, I think your Majesty should search it carefully to avoid missing anything and causing endless trouble."
After everyone heard this, they secretly praised the old man for being so worried about the safety of others. He was indeed worthy of the name of a sage.
Shi Ji nodded and said: "Sir, what you are saying is that it is better not to spread such harmful things."
Li Jing also praised: "Lao Qi is still thoughtful."
Qi Yuan looked at him and suddenly said: "Mrs. Yin must still be worried about the general and his son at home. After returning home, the general must spend a few days with your wife. Don't get sick because of these days of worry.
Come?"
After being reminded by Qi Yuan's "kindness", Li Jing finally remembered that his wife at home was still looking forward to their return soon.
Thinking of this, Li Jing didn't want to stay any longer. He just wanted to return to his house as soon as possible to comfort his wife's frightened mind.
So he immediately put Ma Yuan's cave behind and said directly to Shi Ji: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness and will no longer pursue the crimes that Nezha committed. Li Jing is extremely grateful. Now that I miss my wife at home, I will first
I bid farewell to my queen."
"It doesn't matter, then you can go back."
Shi Ji nodded indifferently.
She didn't want to see Li Jing and his son now, especially Nezha. In order to prevent accidents, it was better to send them away quickly.
Li Jing looked at Qi Yuan and asked: "Will Mr. Qi go back to Chentangguan with me, or..."
Qi Yuan frowned and sighed: "I have been running all the way today. I am very tired, so I won't go back with the general for now. It won't be too late to go back after I have a rest and am full of energy."
"this……"
Li Jing glanced at Shi Ji with some embarrassment. If Qi Yuan didn't go back with him now, he would have to entrust Qi Yuan to Empress Shi Ji to take care of her. Otherwise, could he be allowed to live in the barren mountains?
Shi Ji nodded knowingly: "Don't worry, I will arrange a place for you, sir."
Li Jing felt relieved after hearing this.
Qi Yuandao, with a look of shame on his face, said: "It's because of my father and son that I let Mr. Qi suffer like this. When Mr. Qi comes back, I will allow Li Jing to come and thank me."
"Hey, given the friendship between you and me, there is no need to say such things."
Qi Yuan waved his hand with a serious look on his face: "Okay, go back quickly, don't keep your wife waiting for too long."
Li Jing nodded, saluted, and fled away.
Compared to Li Jing, Nezha felt even more guilty when facing Shi Ji, so he was even less willing to hang around in front of Shi Ji. When he saw that it was time to leave, without saying a word, he hurriedly used his escape technique and ran away faster than his father.
.
Qi Yuan watched the two of them leave, and then breathed a sigh of relief without showing any signs of it.
He finally sent them away. Now if he finds something good in Mayuandong Mansion, no one will snatch it from him, right?
Through the analysis of Shi Ji's character, he felt that Shi Ji acted in a measured manner and was definitely not a person who did not repay his kindness.
Therefore, although there was no word of repayment mentioned before, the kindness has been forged now, and it is impossible for Shi Ji not to express anything.
Ma Yuan was dead at this time, and it was time to harvest. He didn't want to be surrounded by these two guys, Li Jing and Nezha.
If he gets any benefits, if he doesn't share the profits with them, wouldn't it appear that he is too greedy, which is inconsistent with the image he has managed to build with great difficulty? At least before he becomes a god, his character cannot collapse.
Therefore, a small plan was implemented to allow Li Jing and his son to leave voluntarily.
In fact, he was not too greedy, as long as he found some elixirs that could improve his cultivation in Mayuan Cave Mansion. He was just worried that it would be difficult to distribute the elixirs when there were too many people, so he thought of a way to send Li Jing and his son away in advance.
Following Shi Ji to Ma Yuan's cave, Ma Yuan did not expect that he would be killed due to the sudden arrival of Shi Ji, so most of the formation restrictions in his cave were not activated, which saved a lot of effort.
Although Ma Yuan has been cultivating here for hundreds of years, it has to be said that his cave is really simple. It is just a few stone rooms opened in the middle of the mountain. It seems that it is because he is dedicated to practicing hard that he does not have many luxuries.
.
There are even various skeletal remains in one corner, some of which are so visceral that most people would definitely feel numb if they saw them.
However, Ma Yuan is also a person who has achieved immortality after all. Over the hundreds of years, he has accumulated some wealth, so that he will not be left empty-handed.
In Ma Yuan's cave, some elixirs were discovered one after another. Unfortunately, Empress Shiji said that most of them were not yet mature and could not be picked.
The only ones that are mature are a few ghost grasses that are of little use.
In view of Qi Yuan's lack of knowledge about elixirs, Shi Ji popularized them for him.
This kind of netherworld grass can only grow in places with strong Yin energy, and is of little use to cultivators. It can only be used by heretics when they refine several Yin evil elixirs.
This thing also has a function. Squeezing out the juice of Netherworld Grass and dripping it into the eyes can make ordinary people see ghosts.
But among all the successful qigong practitioners, which one has never opened the heavenly eye?
Besides, most ordinary ghosts and monsters live in the netherworld. The ghosts hanging around in the human world simply cannot find enough netherworld yin energy, and it is difficult for them to cultivate to a high level.
Therefore, few monks can cultivate this Netherworld Grass. That is to say, most of what Ma Yuanyi has learned is evil and weird, so he can use it.
Although Qi Yuan was disappointed, he thought it was better than nothing. Since Shi Ji didn't notice, he directly uprooted these Netherworld Grasses and put them into a small cloth pocket.
Shi Ji probably also saw Qi Yuan's somewhat disappointed mood, and said with a smile: "I still have some spiritual fruits in my cave, I will give them to you later."
Qi Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly thanked Empress Shiji.
