Chapter 375: Shen Geng's Memory

The memories that Mu Xingqiu got from Shen Geng were fragmented, but they were enough to outline his experiences over the years. + .3.o

After escaping from Luanjing Mountain, Shen Geng went to hide in the Land of Monsters, but he got tired of it in less than a year. After five years of reflection and three years in Yangshen Peak, he was tired of the lonely life, so he made an extremely bold decision. He pretended to be a casual cultivator and secretly went to Qishan on the sea.

Among the nine Taoist sects, only Qishan was mixed with good and bad people, and it was the best hiding place. When the monsters attacked Pangshan and Luanjing Mountain, Qishan was briefly closed for a period of time. When the monsters' offensive weakened, Qishan was open again, and it was still the same as before, welcoming all races in the world, the only prerequisite was that you could afford the expensive fee.

Shen Geng had no money, but he was not idle during the year he hid in the Land of Monsters. He killed many monsters and got more than a hundred monster pills, several of which were of high level, enough to exchange for enough gold and silver souls, allowing him to stay in Qishan for a while.

Shen Geng became a magic Taoist priest, and was infected by the unclean air in the land of demons. His Taoist temperament was almost gone. Qishan was heavily guarded, but he did not notice that a Taoist disciple was mixed in with the casual cultivators. There, Shen Geng was very honest. He covered his eyes with a piece of cloth and only saw things with magic. He often sat in the dim tavern for a whole day, listening to the conversations of people around him, never interrupting, and not making friends with anyone.

Not much internal information about the Taoist sect was heard from the casual cultivators, but Ding Wei's name appeared several times. Wangshan was inexplicably closed, and he was the only disciple who was stranded outside. He was treated favorably by Qishan and could live in the inn for free. The price was to accept a thorough inspection by senior Taoist priests, which was more or less humiliating. If it was not necessary, no Taoist priest was willing to accept it.

Shen Geng actually felt a little sympathy for Ding Wei, and more of an interest. At that time, he had not yet figured out how to use this lonely Taoist priest, but he had already decided to make friends with him.

He was a pretending casual cultivator, while Ding Wei was a Taoist monk from the Wangshan Forbidden Secrets Department. Their identities and status were very different, so it was not easy for them to become friends.

Shen Geng showed great patience in this matter. He often went to the market. Whenever he saw Ding Wei, he would follow him, observe what he asked and what he bought, and guess the interests and hobbies of the Taoist monk Wangshan.

Ding Wei was obsessed with talismans. They were not the talismans commonly used by mortals, but the powerful Taoist talismans, but they were just fantasies. The materials used for Taoist talismans were both rare and expensive. He couldn't afford to make them. He could only do some experiments with common materials.

What he wanted to buy most at the market was a ten-zhang demon pill, but this thing was very rare. Occasionally someone sold it, and it would soon be raised to an extremely high price. Ding Wei, who was living under someone else's roof, could only take a look from a distance.

This was a slightly pedantic Taoist monk from the Forbidden Secrets Department, who spent a lot of time wandering around the market and practicing meditation,

but he never thought of leaving Qishan to get the ten-zhang demon pill himself.

Shen Geng went. The demon pills he brought back were about to be sold out, so he returned to the place where demons gathered. After spending a full six months, he finally found a lone ten-zhang demon. He killed it and took the pill.

This memory is very vivid. The ten-zhang demon is not easy to deal with. Shen Geng was only at the fifth level of Yanyan at that time, but he had his own ruthlessness and took a sneak attack. Even so, he was lucky to win - the demon had finally escaped from a battle, with wounds all over his body, and his strength was greatly reduced.

Shen Geng brought the ten-zhang demon pill back to Qishan. A few days later, he stopped Ding Wei at the market and said bluntly: "You know talismans, I have demon pills, we can do a big business."

Ding Wei was shocked by this bold casual cultivator and did not leave immediately. After Shen Geng took out the ten-zhang demon pill and shook it, he was moved.

The big business that Shen Geng made up was this: mortals like talismans, not only Long Bin can use them, but ordinary people also often rely on the power of talismans in their lives. A very ordinary talisman can be sold at a good price. Since Ding Wei can write more powerful Taoist talismans, why not make money with this ability? In this way, he can buy more rare materials and write more and better talismans.

Ding Wei thought this was a whimsical and ridiculous idea, sneered and left, but three days later, he took the initiative to board the island where the casual cultivators gathered and asked the casual cultivators with their eyes covered for detailed plans.

The two met in this way.

Shen Geng pretended to be very interested in Taoist talismans, and patiently listened to Ding Wei's endless talk about the way of talismans, which lasted for one or two hours. At this time, Shen Geng did not know the art of soul transfer, and naturally had no such concerns. He just wanted to contact a real Taoist priest and learn about the internal news of the Taoist tradition.

The two gradually became friends who could talk about anything. Ding Wei revealed that there was a unique talisman that could exchange the souls of two people. Because it was too despicable, no Taoist school preserved the method of writing talismans, and it must have been lost.

"What about Longbin Society? Since it was separated from the Taoist talisman department, it might have retained the ancient method, but it lacked materials, so it couldn't be made." Shen Geng's heart was pounding, and he saw a way to return to the Taoist tradition.

The two came to the imperial capital together, and Shen Geng made a detailed plan, but the result was unexpected. Longbin Society warmly welcomed Taoist Wangshan and treated Ding Wei as a distinguished guest. They responded to all requests and provided all materials for free, and then gradually revealed their intention to hope that Ding Wei would join Longbin Society.

Although much younger than Ding Wei, Shen Geng immediately realized that this was a conspiracy. He found...

The next memory disappeared, not because Mu Xingqiu's illusion failed, but because Shen Geng's brain did not save it at all. This was obviously intentional.

Ding Wei did not want to join the Longbin Society. Even if there was only one person left in Wangshan, he did not want to give up his identity as a Taoist priest. He got a lot of help from the Longbin Society, but there was no soul-changing technique. The talisman masters had not even heard of this method.

Shen Geng got it, and the details were another erased memory.

So half a year after arriving in the Imperial Capital, the strange casual cultivators around the Taoist priests of Wangshan disappeared. Shen Geng occupied Ding Wei's body for a long time. A year ago, he returned to Qishan and joined the Demon Slaying Society. He frequently gave inspiring speeches and secretly promoted the concepts and benefits of Taoist talismans, which attracted many low-level Taoist priests.

But Qishan was still dangerous. Shen Geng knew that as long as the high-level Taoist priests noticed Ding Wei's abnormality, he would not be able to hide it. And he did not want to be too far away from his body, so he went to the Imperial Capital again. This time, he cooperated more closely with the Longbin Society, frequently blessing Ding Wei with the Fire Sacrifice Seal, and removing it after writing the talisman. This was a kind of damage to Ding Wei's body and practice, but this was exactly what Shen Geng didn't care about the least.

The Demon Slaying Society helped "Ding Wei" solve the problem. Shen Jiyi, a Taoist priest from Yashan, also joined the Demon Slaying Society and brought three "Immortal Dreams", which were enough to write thirty to fifty top-level Taoist talismans.

The talisman writer was still Shen Geng, in order to test the power of the talisman. Shen Jiyi found the blue ice pot.

Mu Xingqiu really wanted to know why Shen Jiyi joined the Demon Slaying Society. And how to get the three inner pills, and why the blue ice pot was used by low-level Taoist priests, but Shen Geng didn't have these contents in his memory, and he himself had always been wary of Shen Jiyi.

In Shen Geng's memory, Mu Xingqiu always occupies an important position, and hatred and revenge run through every step of his plan.

Mu Xingqiu didn't care about it, and only focused on the facts in his memory.

Shen Jixian called Mu Xingqiu to talk, and it was for this part of memory. After taking Shen Geng away, he immediately used the mind control technique to conduct a comprehensive examination and found that the memory of the past few years had been copied by the illusion.

"Shen Geng's inner elixir has been taken away. In two hours, he will be sent to Xingshan Demon Cave to serve his sentence, and it will never end." Shen Jixian used this as an opening remark, with the intention of easing the atmosphere, "I think you should be satisfied."

Shen Geng deserved it. The punishment made by the high-level Taoist priests had nothing to do with Mu Xingqiu. What should he be satisfied with? He would rather see Erliang jumping around and competing with him, but he didn't want to say this. There were more important things to talk about, "I don't understand why the Taoist tradition protects the Longbin Society so much? Even giving Taoist priests to talisman masters as gifts."

"What do you know?" Shen Jixian's face was a little gloomy. There were not many secrets in Shen Geng's memory, but he was worried that Mu Xingqiu could guess something based on it.

Mu Xingqiu did guess it. Ever since he decided to save Xin Youtao, he has been very interested in the relationship between Longbin Society and Daotong. He even read the huge book "Qiankun Ding" and found that the relationship between Daotong and Longbin Society was surprisingly stable, which would never happen to mortals.

"Through the soul-changing talisman, the controller of Longbin Society is actually the same person, no, the same group of people. For tens of thousands of years, every time they reach the end of their physical lifespan, they attach their souls to another young person to prolong their lives."

"This is also good for Daotong." Shen Jixian said.

"Of course, even the most perfect agreement is dead and needs living people to execute it. Taoist priests have long lifespans and their memories never fade, so they can ensure that the agreement does not change. But Longbinhui is an organization of mortals, they have short lifespans, and generations are replaced quickly. After a few generations, they may forget the original agreement, or feel that it was not formulated by them and there is no need to strictly abide by it. This is unacceptable, so Longbinhui must have several controllers who are as long-lived as Taoist priests to ensure the effectiveness of the agreement."

"That's about it."

"Why not just appoint Taoist priests to manage Longbinhui?"

"Longbinhui was indeed managed by Taoist priests in the beginning, but the results were very poor, so they changed another method, which is the current method. It operates It's going well. At least there hasn't been much deviation in the past 40,000 years."

"Don't you know about Shen Geng?"

"Before tonight, no senior Taoist priest in ww.ac knew that Shen Geng was hiding in the Imperial Capital. Shen Geng committed an unforgivable crime. The Taoist tradition will not show him any special mercy. The Longbin Society concealed the Taoist tradition in this matter." Shen Jixian paused and found that the conversation was developing in the direction he least wanted to see. "I said that the Taoist tradition has a line. You are now standing on the edge. The next step is very important to you and the Taoist tradition."

Xin Youtao, still Xin Youtao, he has been occupied by someone else's soul and will become one of the controllers of the Longbin Society. Saving him will disrupt the exquisite arrangements of the Taoist tradition and the Longbin Society for tens of thousands of years.

"I hope to say a few words to all the senior Taoist priests in the Imperial Capital." Mu Xingqiu understood that what he was about to do was something that the head of the Five Elements Department of Pangshan could not decide.

"You want to participate in the discussion of high-level Taoist priests?" Shen Jixian was a little surprised, "This is rarer and more difficult than your resurrection of the Heart of Mind."

"Yes."

Shen Jixian sighed, knowing that this sentence alone could not stop Mu Xingqiu, "Okay, I will break the rules once and tell you some of the most important secrets of the Taoist tradition. I hope you will make a decision after listening to it."
