Black Mountain Old Ghost
Chapter 411 Three-Layered Mansion Gate
The atmosphere seemed to normalize as he spoke with the reincarnator. Monkey Wine didn't detect anything amiss in Hu Ma's emotions, sighing softly, "I understand."
"I chose to believe you because I could tell you weren't lying."
"And because you're willing to be upfront about not being able to guarantee anything, I'm certain you're the reincarnator I'm communicating with. After all, I remember doctors in the hospital in my previous life never making guarantees."
"..."
So, you didn't notice when Little Red Date drew so many OKs for so long? You only recognized me after this sentence?
However, after Monkey Wine's guidance, the heavy unease and apprehension in his heart finally dissipated slowly. Hu Ma sighed softly and said, "Thank you. I will do my best regarding Wu Ya's matter. If I need you to repay the favor in the future, I won't force you to do anything."
"Haven't thought about it yet."
"Then..."
"Made him suffer a bit."
Hu Ma was shocked. How could he say it so lightly, as if killing someone was easy?
"If they really want to invade our Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary), then it's not us who should be afraid, but them."
Hu Ma had also entered his Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary) long ago and had indeed seen that the Benming (Essential Nature) divine statue was closely related to his cultivation. He had even borrowed the statue to reference his cultivation.
"..."
"But what I find most amazing is our Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary)."
"Close the Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary), cut off its connection to the outside world, and then you can deal with it however you want."
Monkey Wine slowly said, "The Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary) is our last line of defense as reincarnators. Whether we're being disturbed by evil spirits or possessed by vengeful ghosts, they can't bypass this Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary)."
"How did it invade?"
Hu Ma was already somewhat dumbfounded listening to this, but then he heard Monkey Wine sigh again and say, "Honestly, the problem you're talking about isn't a problem at all in my opinion. When I was targeted by the Witch God, I quickly discovered this characteristic of the Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary)."
"..."
He couldn't help but marvel at the difference between Monkey Wine and other reincarnators. After a slight pause, he asked in a low voice, "What if even our Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary) has already been invaded by something?"
Monkey Wine said calmly, "Then just kill him."
After a slight pause, he tentatively asked, "You said before that the Witch God, which is what you killed this time, wanted to invade you?"
Monkey Wine didn't deny it, but sighed softly and said, "This is the most precious thing. I'm good at handling more specific things, even complex numbers are no problem, but I'm especially bad at handling favors."
Monkey Wine said calmly, "Anyone who ascends a path to the next level is considered to have achieved *can shu* (participated in art), entering the *fu* (mansion) means refining the soul. There are three stages of ascension, and three layers of gates in the *fu* (mansion)."
Monkey Wine slowly said, "So, I'm willing to leave Wu Ya with you and have you treat her, but I also need to ask about the consultation fee, so I have at least some idea of what it will cost."
"I don't believe in it, nor do I pray to it, so it has no chance to invade my heart. But I'm also refining Gu, so it borrowed the connection of the Gu worms and slowly invaded my dreams, my soul, my body, and the last step would have been the Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary)."
"Of course, it failed, otherwise I wouldn't be here talking to you, but would have become one of the Wu people kneeling before it."
"Huff."
"All you need to know is that there are countless strange powers in this world. No matter how strong we are individually, we are indeed vulnerable when we encounter them. However, we also have our own advantages. In the Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary), no power can be stronger than us."
Hu Ma was also slightly happy. If he wasn't weighed down by this matter, just Monkey Wine's favor would have been worth celebrating. But when he thought about the problem that was currently troubling him, his heart stirred, and he slowly guided the conversation:
"Favors are something for later. I do have a question I want to ask you now..."
"It seems to be a projection of our mental power, but it also has a substantial existence. It's not inside our body, and we can't find any trace of it in our souls, but it allows us to enter and exit freely, and even allows us to connect with each other."
"..."
Originally, he was only discussing this issue with Monkey Wine because Monkey Wine had been targeted by the "Witch God" and he wanted to seek some experience that he could use as a reference.
But he didn't expect that Monkey Wine would actually tell him everything in an orderly manner, which surprised Hu Ma a little. In addition, this was originally a rather complex problem, but how did he make it sound so simple?
While thinking, he slowly said, "Then this soul cultivation..."
"Consultation fee?"
"..."
"Such a mysterious thing, visible every day in your dreams, and you've never thought about understanding it?"
A domineering face flashed in Hu Ma's mind for some reason. He originally had a lot of questions, but now he couldn't ask them because of what Monkey Wine had said.
Hu Ma was helpless, "It's already this late, let's not talk about this topic, shall we?"
Monkey Wine said calmly, "Actually, from the first day I entered the Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary), I started researching this Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary). I've seen many Gu, and other mysterious things, and even researched the Black Tai Sui."
"It can be said that this is an even more mysterious existence than Tai Sui flesh and blood. Before, when I was invaded by the Witch God, its magical power was beyond what I could compare to, but I was able to avoid being invaded by it, and even made it suffer a bit, because I borrowed the power of the Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary)."
Hearing him ask specifically, Hu Ma was slightly stunned and curiously repeated.
"Whether it's cured or not, the money that should be paid must be paid. Although I wasn't very good at dealing with people in my previous life, I still went to the hospital."
Monkey Wine slowly asked at this time, "What is the consultation fee?"
Monkey Wine slowly said, "During the time I was fighting with the Witch God, I summarized this experience: no matter how powerful the opponent is, as long as they are in the Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary), they are no match for me."
"Naturally, it also wanted to control me."
Monkey Wine seemed to think about it seriously before slowly saying, sounding reluctant, but he agreed to it.
Monkey Wine slowly and methodically said, "The Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary) is a very magical existence. This is the most fundamental thing for us reincarnators. Honestly, it's because of the existence of this thing that I've always doubted the reality of this world."
"Hiss."
"You're a science student, right?"
"Every time you push open a layer of the *fu* (mansion) gate, you naturally gain more ability, and the Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary) will also undergo corresponding changes. Not to mention pushing open three layers of the *fu* (mansion) gate, even just pushing open one or two layers, with the advantage of being a reincarnator, there's nothing that can be hidden."
"It controlled A'Die (Father), and it also controlled Wu Ya, as well as all our clansmen."
"But whether you can find this thing as soon as possible depends on your personal ability."
"..."
Whenever this kind of thing was mentioned, Monkey Wine seemed to perk up, and the confused feeling in his voice was gone. He said calmly, "Witch God, let's just call it that. I know he's not the Witch God, but I'm used to it..."
"..."
"I think you're the same."
Hu Ma was a little speechless. It felt like he was making a face at a blind man. But after thinking about it, it was reasonable. This guy had all his attention on Wu Ya at the time, and now he was feeling depressed, so he wouldn't complain for now.
"I haven't thought about whether it's dangerous or not. I just hope that you won't make me repay your favor by doing something I don't really want to do in the future."
Hu Ma laughed and said, "That's understandable, but I really can't think of anything I need you to help me with right now. Besides, it's not clear what price needs to be paid to cure this girl, so I can only let you owe me this favor for now, but you can rest assured about one thing."
Hu Ma was thinking about something and slowly replied, "But you're not a newbie either, so you must have heard that there's a recognized currency among us reincarnators, called a favor."
He had been a little wary of this madman before, but from the moment Monkey Wine suddenly called out to him, Hu Ma suddenly realized that perhaps this crazy guy's previous experiences could be of help to him!
"Of course, it's the Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary)."
"As long as the Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary) is still there, then we won't be affected by these evil spirits. This is also why I can fight it for so long without being affected by it."
"Since it's a favor, it's not good to make you do anything too dangerous."
"The Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary) is closely related to the soul. The stronger the soul, the stronger the control over the Benming Lingmiao (Personal Sanctuary), and naturally the other party can't hide."
But this statement was the first time he had heard it.
"Did you only learn martial arts after coming to this world, but didn't use your brain? Why do you have to ask me such a simple question?"
Hu Ma was shocked and caught some content that he was interested in. He quickly said, "If your magical power is not as good as it, how did you do this?"
"Why does this guy sound like he's saying, 'I'm not targeting anyone, everyone here is trash'?"
"Damn."
"..."
"Then..."
Listening, Hu Ma was already a little excited. He quickly said, "And then?"
Our Manager Hu is also a respectable person. He is treated politely everywhere he goes. This is really the first time someone has said this to his face.
Monkey Wine said calmly, "It's like playing hide-and-seek. The other party is hiding in your house. If you understand the house well enough, you can find him. But in a dark room, if you haven't cultivated your own soul at all, and don't understand it at all, then he's hiding in the dark controlling you."
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not just talking about you. In fact, the other reincarnators who contacted me before were also like this, keen on seeking strange techniques and magic in this world, but not very familiar with their own differences."
"..."
In fact, just this guidance alone was enough to repay this favor, but Hu Ma didn't intend to say it.
Who told Monkey Wine to be so unpleasant when he speaks?
