Chapter 392 Ten Thousand Homes, Lit Up

Chapter 155 Who?

Sa Wuling was startled, already sensing a familiar aura. He widened his eyes in disbelief, "Bai... Bai...? You... you've become a spirit?"

Of course, he recognized the aura of the White Bone Demon.

He just hadn't expected the White Bone Demon to run to Qingdu City, and even say it was waiting for him.

Could this thing become a spirit?

"This is not the place to talk."

The cloaked figure said in a raspy voice, already turning and walking towards the side of the road.

Sa Wuling hesitated for a moment. Seeing that people around them seemed to have noticed, he followed.

Even if this White Bone Demon had developed spiritual awareness, it shouldn't be able to escape his teacher's control. This visit was likely his teacher's intention.

The cloaked figure was naturally Yan Xiake.

He had stayed on Mount Taiji for several months, and after completely mastering this White Bone body, he descended the mountain and came all the way to Qingdu City.

He had a clear understanding in his heart that he was probably already dead.

The him that survived was just a lingering obsession.

Or perhaps, only by fulfilling this obsession could he truly live again.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to Qingdu City again.

"You are that ugly black-faced... cough cough, big man, Yan Xiake?"

By a mountain forest, listening to Yan Xiake's story, Sa Wuling's heart was filled with emotions.

He admired the man's courage to assassinate the old emperor, and was shocked by his strong obsession, even after death.

But...

"You want me to help you assassinate that old emperor? Right now, the Tianyi Sect experts are probably all in Qingdu City. How can this be done?"

Sa Wuling waved his hands repeatedly.

Although he admired Yan Xiake's deeds, he didn't want to get involved.

Assassinating the emperor, and at a time when all the Tianyi Sect experts were stationed in the capital, with countless cultivation experts gathered here.

Not to mention the impossibility of success, even if successful, how could he escape?

Although he also hated the old emperor, how could a rustic old Taoist priest like him get involved in such a matter?

A short two years was not enough to change his decades-long way of doing things.

He had lived steadily for decades, was it because he was strong?

Of course, it was because he didn't meddle in other people's business.

"It is precisely because Qingdu City is now a gathering place of dragons and snakes that it is a good opportunity."

Under the cloak, ghostly fires flickered. Yan Xiake was very calm. He had thought about this matter for a long, long time.

Sa Wuling wanted to leave, but was too embarrassed to leave directly, so he could only say reluctantly, "Then tell me, what opportunity?"

"The Imperial Examination!"

Yan Xiake said quietly.

The Qing Dynasty's way of selecting talent was through the imperial examination, which was divided into the civil examination and the military examination. It was said that the imperial examination to select scholars had been implemented since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty.

Although over the past thousand years, this method had revealed various drawbacks, the imperial examination was still an effective means when there was no better method.

It was also the only way for ordinary people to see the old emperor.

As long as one could pass the provincial examination, one could enter the palace examination!

And it was precisely because it was a mixed bag right now, and the many experts of the Tianyi Sect were on high alert, guarding against other cultivation sects causing trouble, that it was a good opportunity to strike.

"The imperial examination?" Sa Wuling was stunned, then realized, "You want me to participate in the imperial examination? How is that possible?"

Sa Wuling shook his head repeatedly.

Not just anyone could participate in the imperial examination. Even those with outstanding talent, who had studied hard for ten years and had a clean background, still had to go through layers of screening before they could participate in the provincial examination.

How could he possibly participate in the imperial examination?

"How do you know it's impossible if you don't try?"

Yan Xiake was very calm. He had thought a lot about these days, and every aspect had been carefully considered.

Sa Wuling was helpless in his heart. This was a matter of life and death. How could he just try it casually?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yan Xiake sighed softly, "Taoist priest, what have you experienced along the way?"

"Demons and ghosts run rampant, and the people are in dire straits."

Speaking of this, Sa Wuling also sighed.

He had killed no small number of demons and ghosts along the way, and had seen more dead people than he had sent off in his decades of performing funerals.

Although the Rulai Monastery was working hard, and the Tianyi Sect did not allow demons and ghosts to kill believers indiscriminately, incidents of demons and ghosts harming people still occurred one after another. Especially after many city gods transformed into demons and ghosts, the casualties were extremely tragic.

"When a country is about to fall, there will surely be demons."

Yan Xiake said calmly, "The Qing Dynasty has been established for a thousand years, and its demise is not a pity, but the world should not suffer such pain! If this continues, one day the ancient scene of a hundred ghosts walking in the daytime will reappear!"

A hundred ghosts walking in the daytime!

In ancient times, all spirits were ignorant, and there were even fewer cultivators. The resentment and Yin Qi between heaven and earth were extremely dense, and the Ten Heavenly Evils roamed between heaven and earth. All spirits were food and livestock.

The world now, although it was difficult for ordinary people to live, was already much happier than it was then.

It was Youming F jun's sudden emergence, sweeping away the demonic aura for countless years, establishing humanity, and creating the Underworld that ended the chaos.

"There are still Yuanshen True Persons in the world..."

Sa Wuling subconsciously wanted to shirk his responsibility.

Eat as much as you are capable of, this was his consistent way of doing things.

If the sky falls, naturally there are taller people to hold it up, right?

"The world, is the world of the people of the world."

Yan Xiake did not care about Sa Wuling's shirk, because seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune was human nature. On the contrary, he was making things difficult for others.

After a pause, he said, "There are many places in Qingdu City with Tianyi Sect's seals. I can't enter the examination hall without being discovered. I don't need you to assassinate the old emperor either. I only need you to help me pass the provincial examination. The rest, naturally, will be taken care of by Yan himself."

Yan Xiake's voice was very sincere.

He was never one to make things difficult for others. If it wasn't that he really couldn't do it himself, how could he burden others?

Sa Wuling looked at the cloaked figure. His heart suddenly felt complicated and somewhat ashamed.

Both were wearing cloaks, but under his cloak was a person, and under Yan Xiake's cloak was just a skeleton. But at this moment, he felt that he was more like a person than himself.

He couldn't help but be moved.

In a moment of impulse, he nodded and agreed, "...Okay, I promise you."

"In that case, thank you, Taoist Sa."

Yan Xiake bowed deeply.

Sa Wuling sighed in his heart. Although he was cautious, he would naturally not go back on his promise. He helped Yan Xiake up and said, "Great Hero Yan has the world in his heart. This old Taoist admires you."

"It's already very good if the Taoist priest doesn't say that I overestimate my abilities."

Yan Xiake smiled casually. His voice was hoarse and obscure, but it also revealed a sense of boldness and heroism, "If this is successful, and Yan is still able to not die, I will definitely drink with the Taoist priest... cough cough, sit down and discuss the Dao."

He originally wanted to say drink and be merry, but after thinking about it, he would not have another chance to drink.

"How could that be? This old Taoist admires you very much."

Sa Wuling smiled wryly and waved his hand.

In this world, there were always people who would do things that seemed 'foolish' to others, but knowing that it was impossible and doing it anyway, how could it not be admirable?

He thought to himself that he could not do what Yan Xiake did, risking his life and forgetting death, but that did not mean that he did not admire such behavior.

Such a person.

Yan Xiake shook his head and did not speak. He scanned his surroundings and, seeing that no one was spying, shook his body and shrunk to the size of an inch. The large cloak fell to the ground, "I still need the Taoist priest to bring me into the city."

Sa Wuling nodded, and put away the inch-sized White Bone Demon, picking up the black cloak.

He turned and walked towards Qingdu City.

At this time, Mu Longcheng's slightly approving voice sounded in his heart, "There are many people who have been seen in this world, but only this person can be considered a figure."

"Yes..."

Sa Wuling subconsciously wanted to agree.

But before he could finish speaking, Mu Longcheng sneered, "Unfortunately, he's still a fool."

"Uh..."

The corners of Sa Wuling's mouth twitched. You were the one who praised him, and you were the one who贬人him. What are you doing?

"When he was a person, I didn't know his potential. But this White Bone body of his now seems to have been refined by your teacher with great effort. It can be as big or as small as you want, it is invulnerable to water and fire, indestructible, and, even more rare, it has extremely high potential.

"As long as he cultivates with dedication, even if his understanding is ordinary, he may be able to achieve something in thirty to fifty years. At that time, killing that emperor will be as easy as killing a dog. Why take the risk now?"

Mu Longcheng's voice was indifferent, "Thinking he is sacrificing himself for righteousness, but in reality, besides moving himself, it's meaningless."

Listening to Mu Longcheng's indifferent voice, for some reason, Sa Wuling felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He endured it and couldn't help but rebut in his heart, "If everything has to be done when it is completely safe, then what about the many sages of ancient and modern times?"

Mu Longcheng answered his question indifferently, "Except for a few, the rest are all fools."

Sa Wuling couldn't argue with him. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and stomped toward Qingdu City.

He had only been forced to agree originally, but now he secretly vowed to make this happen.

To let this 'Hand Grandpa' see!

.......

Da Qing was very large, with many prefectures and cities.

An Qisheng walked on the earth, wandering between many cities, seemingly not in a hurry to go to Qingdu.

He would stop in every prefecture and even walk through every city.

Although his speed was very fast, it had been a year since he came down from Mount Taiji, and he had not yet reached Qingdu City.

Sheng Prefecture, Guanxin City.

An Qisheng stood on the highest restaurant in the city, overlooking the lights in the city under the night.

At a certain moment, he moved in his heart, as if he had gained something, "This Mu Longcheng is worthy of being a generation of outstanding figures. Some of the deductions on the Taiji Induction Chapter are quite interesting..."

If we use the cultivation system of the Huangtian Realm, the Royal Power Sword is not his natal artifact. The Infinite Cave Heaven, the Reincarnation Blessed Land, which includes the Royal Power Sword, is his natal artifact.

Everything in the Infinite Cave Heaven and the Reincarnation Blessed Land can be considered his natal products.

For example, Mu Longcheng.

Naturally, Mu Longcheng's thoughts, cultivation, and gains will all become his foundation and harvest.

Mu Longcheng's deduction on the 'Physique Chapter' of the Taiji Induction Chapter was naturally known to him immediately.

Among them, limb regeneration was something he could already do.

As for rebirth from a drop of blood...

Hu~

As his thoughts turned, a golden light suddenly broke through the air and landed in front of him.

Whoosh whoosh~

As soon as the yellow dog landed, it shook its fur wildly.

The lights that were visible to the naked eye were shaken off and fell into An Qisheng's hands.

This was the light of ten thousand homes.
