Chapter 564 The Iron Rule between Heaven and Earth

Chapter 564 The Iron Rule between Heaven and Earth

“It has been a long time since I sat down. During this time, I have helped three younger disciples.”

“Among them. One of them died halfway, and neither he nor his ghost companions could grow up, and the other two were buried in the Ghost Tomb."

In other words, all three of them are dead.

The ghost thoughts preserved through special methods in the Ghost and God Tomb can not only be manifested once and then dissipate.

As long as there are no problems with the cemetery as a whole and Xuandu Temple is not destroyed, they can exist for a long time and appear repeatedly.

After Zhou Qing and An Lang leave here, the Qingdai Ghost Ancestor will fall into a deep sleep again until he meets a destined person next time, or until he completely disappears.

So if it is the inheritance of ghosts and gods, such as skills and knowledge, it can be passed down many times. This is also the important meaning of the existence of ghost thoughts.

The Ghost Ancestor inheritance is indeed the highest level of inheritance, but it is not something that can only be obtained by one person. There are many such experiences in the history of Xuandu Temple.

In the thousands of years of inheritance, there will always be a few special geniuses.

"The first three people are not in the same situation as you and me. You are the most suitable person for my inheritance."

Qingdai Ghost Ancestor looked at An Lang with admiration, "I didn't expect that after so many years, it would still be the same. It was God’s will to meet you.”

“For the first three, I gave some of them one treasure, some gave them two, and I also gave them all a ghost technique. ”

“You and I come from the same place Yuan, I can give you three treasures, a volume of exercises, and a ghost technique."

"Although I brought some treasures here before I passed away, I gave more to you. Xuandu Guan, so even though you can accept my inheritance now, you can't really inherit everything I had during my lifetime. I can't give you everything here, and you have to consider it for the future. You have to understand this. .”

Zhou Qing and An Lang nodded at the same time, Luo Liuli also said this.

Giving the true disciples the opportunity to enter the cemetery to receive the inheritance of ghosts and gods is more about sustainable development and providing certain help to the true disciples in the practice of controlling ghosts, rather than really taking away the ghosts and gods. All treasures are passed down in one go.

If you do this, Xuandu Temple has been passed down for so many years, and the Ghost and God Mausoleum has long been empty. It will not be Zhou Qing's turn to come in now.

Plan for eternity, not for the moment.

Give them a few treasures or techniques to speed up their ghost practice, that's all.

Qingdai Ghost Ancestor continued:

“That is the technique I created based on my own situation. It is also my true fundamental inheritance and my hard work. It is most suitable for ghosts like us, and it is also the best for you. It fits perfectly. The previous three juniors were unable to obtain this volume of exercises due to inappropriate reasons. I hope it can help you. "

"But you have to pay attention, neither the skills nor the Taoism are allowed to be taught to outsiders. You can only practice them yourself."

An Lang nodded, thought for a while, and asked:< br>
“I have accepted your fundamental inheritance, Lord Ghost Ancestor, then should I call you Master?”

Zhou Qing couldn't help but look at An Lang, not expecting that she would say such a thing.

Although he had known that An Lang was flexible and thick-skinned before, he didn't expect that he would be so thick-skinned. He was so proficient in hitting snakes with sticks, and he didn't know who he learned from.

But it’s better to be thick-skinned!

Qingdai Ghost Ancestor smiled and shook his head, "There is no need for this. I have been in seclusion for many years, and I can't teach you anything else. If you say "Master", I will feel guilty."

An Lang didn't talk about this topic. Although she was very thick-skinned, she was also very smart and would never stalk her.

Qingdai Ghost Ancestor looked at An Lang, then suddenly moved his gaze to Zhou Qing.

"Your name is Zhou Qing, right?"

"Yes."

"Tell me about you."

Zhou Qing Inexplicable, want to hear my story?

But since people said that, Zhou Qing briefly talked about his affairs with Qingdai Ghost Ancestor.

In short:

The first half of my life was ordinary, and the past year has been soaring.

After listening to the Qingdai Ghost Ancestor, he was silent for a moment, secretly shocked in his heart, and then nodded and said:

"It is surprising, a very legendary experience. No wonder it is just a new true successor, and it is treated like this. Value.”

Even with the cultivation level of this Ghost Ancestor, one cannot deny the legend that Zhou Qing experienced.

"Ghosts and contractors complement each other. You must understand this. An Lang's talent and potential will not hold you back."

An Lang spoke at this time Said:
< br>"Young Master has been very kind to me. He has found many treasures for me. On the contrary, I can rarely help Young Master."

Qingdai Ghost Ancestor was silent and his eyes fell on the ground. He seems to be thinking about something important.

After a long time, I just heard her say:

"An Lang, you and I are similar, so I can give you another chance to get the most precious treasure among the things I left behind. You can even become my true successor."

" But I will send you to a place. As long as you come out of this place, your future help to Zhou Qing will be beyond your imagination."

Hearing this, An Lang's eyes lit up. He immediately said:

“I do!”

"Don't worry yet." Qingdai Ghost Ancestor shook his head, "That place is not safe. With your current strength, your life may even be in danger."

"You have to think carefully."

Zhou Qing couldn't help but asked: "Is it life-threatening?"

"Yes."

"Then let's not go." Zhou Qing said:

"It's okay to let An Lang practice slowly."

When he first contracted An Lang, he had no intention of letting her help him in the battle. He didn't do it for the purpose of contracting a war ghost.

Zhou Qing knew that An Lang would definitely not be able to keep up with his own pace of progress, so he never thought about this.

As long as Anlang is safe and lives happily, he should take his time when it comes to spiritual practice, there is no need to rush.

How high she can reach in the future, to be honest, more depends on Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing is An Lang's "golden finger", so there is no need for An Lang to take risks. It is meaningless and looks stupid.

But Qingdai Ghost Ancestor said: "Let An Lang make his own decision."

An Lang looked at Zhou Qing and knew what he meant. After hesitating, An Lang said:

"Then I will listen to the young master."

Compared to going his own way and saying something like "I just want to help you, so I am going to take risks," An Lang would not want to This made Zhou Qing worried.

Qingdai Ghost Ancestor nodded, "I understand."

"Then I will give you another test. This test is not life-threatening. If you pass the test, I will also give you some additional benefits, but Without the most precious treasure.”

“Are you willing?”

There is such a good thing?

This time Zhou Qing had no objection, and An Lang readily agreed.

However, Zhou Qing actually had some doubts in his heart. Didn't Qingdai Ghost Ancestor just say that he would only give three treasures, plus a volume of exercises and a Taoist technique?

Why did you suddenly change your mind and want to give An Lang more benefits?

Is it simply because An Lang’s experience is similar to hers?

That shouldn't be the case. If that was the reason, then she would have just said it.

I saw Qingdai Ghost Ancestor wave his hand, and a blue light emerged, covering An Lang, and then An Lang disappeared directly.

What method is this?

Zhou Qing was very curious. He really couldn't understand the magical powers possessed by a master of Guizu's level.

"Zhou Qing."

Qingdai Ghost Ancestor looked at him, his temperament suddenly changed, no longer graceful, but with a sense of majesty.

“Do you know what kind of benefits the opportunity I gave An Lang just now will bring to An Lang?”

"I don't know."

"My natal ghost weapon, the Qingdai Pearl." Qingdai Ghost Ancestor said:

"The best heavenly ghost weapon, its grade and power are not inferior to those you have ever come into contact with. The Tower of Ten Thousand Demons."

Zhou Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't expect Qingdai Ghost Ancestor to have such an idea.

In today's world, immortal weapons are constant and are in the hands of the top orthodoxy. They can suppress factions and clans and will not move lightly.

Quasi-immortal artifacts are artifacts that cannot be born under normal circumstances. They are an exception, not the general situation.

The ultimate divine artifact is already the top artifact active in the world under normal circumstances.

The natal ghost weapon of Qingdai Ghost Ancestor was passed down, which was not surprising to Zhou Qing, because the magical weapons and weapons themselves have a longer "life" than the practitioners.

How many years does it take for ordinary gold to decay?

Not to mention the magical materials for refining powerful artifacts, coupled with the protection and nourishment of younger generations, it is enough to resist the erosion of time.

"Zhou Qing, you just refused to let An Lang take the risk. Do you regret it now?"

Zhou Qing shook his head without hesitation, "I don't regret it."

"Compared with An Lang's safety , if An Lang’s life is to be exchanged for a top-grade ghost weapon...even if I knew it in advance, I would not agree.”

Forget about anything else, if it comes to the length of companionship, An Lang will be the best. Langcai was the person who stayed with Zhou Qing day and night...that ghost.

Qingdai Ghost Ancestor chuckled, "You are quite open-minded."

"An Lang, like me, is a born ghost of yin and yang. If I met her during my lifetime, I would definitely accept her as my disciple." Qingdai Ghost Ancestor continued: "I am also very optimistic about her now. My ghost thoughts have been around for a long time. Wait, An Lang is the most suitable descendant to inherit my mantle.”

"Zhou Qing, I can give An Lang another chance, but this time it will still be up to you to make the decision."

"Please give me a clear statement from Ghost Ancestor."

"I have a method in my hand that can dissolve the contract between humans and ghosts."

Qingdai Ghost Ancestor stared at Zhou Qing and said seriously:

"I want you to terminate the contract with An Lang and let her regain her freedom."

Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment and saw him With a look on his face, Qingdai Ghost Ancestor said again:

“Explanation After the human-ghost contract, you are not allowed to do anything to An Lang or contract with her again. You will never have a contractual relationship again. I will ask the Xuandu Temple master to supervise this."

"Why are you here? If you don’t speak, do you mean you don’t want to?”

Zhou Qing calmed down, thought for a while, and asked:

"Is it enough that An Lang and I terminate the contract? No other requirements? That's it?"

Qingdai Ghost Ancestor is inexplicable , things don’t seem to be going right.

What does this mean? Do you think this is too easy?

“Do you know the consequences of canceling the contract between humans and ghosts?” Qingdai Ghost Ancestor said:

"There used to be a contract, and An Lang would listen to you unconditionally, and would not dare to refuse you. Even if he had complaints in his heart, he would not dare to express them."

"But the contract disappeared, and she got my Indigo Pearl again, Any dissatisfaction she has accumulated in her heart will be doubled upon you."

Qingdai Ghost Ancestor is telling the truth.

Although the contract between humans and ghosts is said to be equal, how can such a contract signed with human monks as the main body be truly equal? ​​It must be beneficial to the human race in every aspect.

It is not a ghost-human contract with ghosts as the main body.

Therefore, many human monks treat their contractual partners harshly or even cruelly. Even monks with good attitudes often do not really treat ghost masters as partners or equals.

There are too many cases where ghost masters have complaints against monks.

But Zhou Qing thought about it carefully. An Lang listened to me unconditionally before...

Yimei has such a thing, I asked her to spend her sleeping time practicing and refining elixirs. , making talismans, refining weapons... She didn't listen either, so she slept when she should.

I asked her to think about the art of refining weapons, and every time she was asked, she replied that I was learning and studying. When I looked back, I saw she was lying in a ghost house, sleeping with the classics on refining weapons covering her face.

Just talking about it makes me angry. As a ghost master, I don’t have as much rest time as the ghost master every day. I also have to worry about the ghost master’s cultivation breakthrough, mental health, and quality of life...

I have to worry about everything. I simply He is almost going to be An Lang's father.

As for alchemy, An Lang likes it very much, and it has completely become her hobby.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Zhou Qing immediately said: "Please ask Ghost Ancestor to take action and terminate the contract between me and An Lang. I am willing to let An Lang be free!"

Qingdai Ghost Ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly, as if to judge whether Zhou Qing was sincere.

After a moment, she suddenly smiled and shook her head.

“I don’t have the ability to dissolve the contract between humans and ghosts.”

“Huh?”

Zhou Qing said in confusion: “What do you mean, Ghost Ancestor? …”

"Do you remember what I just said?" Qingdai Ghost Ancestor smiled gently, making people feel very friendly again.

"Ghosts and contractors complement each other. Your talent is very good, and An Lang's talent is not bad either. We are already qualified to climb to the top together."

"But the two complement each other. The prerequisite is consensus and mutual trust. If one person and one ghost are separated from each other, let alone complement each other, I am afraid that one day, they will take action behind their backs. "

Hearing this, Zhou Qing realized something.

The questions just now were probably the test given to them by this Ghost Ancestor.

A test of their relationship, their respective personalities, and their nature.

"Faced with the temptation of the treasure I promised, you were worried about An Lang and were unwilling to let her take risks. She was also unwilling to worry you and did not insist on having her own way. It shows that you really care about each other."

The attitude of Qingdai Ghost Ancestor is becoming more and more kind, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

“After I told you about Qingdai Zhu, you still don’t regret it, which shows that you are not a profit-seeking or capricious person.”

“Then you are willing to let An Lang go free and give up a potential person. A perfect ghost of yin and yang, a top-quality celestial ghost weapon is even more valuable.”

"..."

Am I that good? Are there so many advantages?

Zhou Qing reflected on himself and found that this was indeed the case.

He is indeed such an outstanding person, there is no doubt about it.

Here comes the little sage.

Qingdai Ghost Ancestor has vision and understands me. It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time and couldn't wait for me to travel through time. Otherwise, I would have to help you rush to the path of immortality no matter what.

Now that the ghost is as dead as a lamp, there is no chance.

Zhou Qing asked again: "Dare I ask Ghost Ancestor, is it really impossible to terminate the human-ghost contract?"

"I didn't deceive Ghost Ancestor just now. If possible, I am indeed willing to return peace. Lang is free. "

In the beginning, the contract between him and An Lang was indispensable, otherwise no one would trust the other.

But after getting along for a long time, Zhou Qing really didn't care about this contract, and it didn't matter if it existed or not.

He has never forced Anlang to do anything through a contract, and there is no use for it.

Based on his current relationship with An Lang, An Lang would still not leave him without a contract and would stay with him as before.

“It is impossible to completely terminate the contract and cut off all connections between you. Even in my previous state, I couldn’t do such a thing.”

“Back then you guys When you sign a contract, that connection directly penetrates your soul and origin, and it is almost impossible to completely erase it.”

"Some experts have speculated that it may be possible for ghost companions to achieve this after ascending to immortality, but there has never been a ghost contracted by a monk to ascend to immortality in the past."

Qingdai Ghost Ancestor replied: "At most, it can only be achieved to a certain extent. Change the contract so that the relationship between the two parties becomes truly equal."

"If you die now, An Lang will die at the same time. If it is changed to a true equal ghost contract, then if one party dies, the other party will die. Will only receive one There is a certain backlash, they will not die together, and they cannot force the other party to do anything through a contract. This kind of change is the limit."

"The method of changing the contract is available in Xuandu Temple, and many monks and ghosts have used it. "

Some ghosts and gods have surpassed the ghost master, and their life span will naturally be longer than the ghost master. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Xuandu Temple to let the ghosts and gods sit with the ghost master, so there is a way to change the contract. Methods are created.

But the equality contract is already the limit. If you want to completely cancel it, there is nothing you can do.

It is not that Xuandu is clumsy in observing Zang, but that no force in the world can do it.

When the contract was made, it was authenticated by heaven, earth and gods, and such a ceremony seemed to really engrave the contract into heaven and earth. It was so stubborn that it was unimaginable and incredible. It was impossible to understand why the contract was broken together. It will become an unsolvable problem.

There is nothing the masters of the fairyland can do about it. This is simply a more difficult problem than ascending to the fairyland.

Until now, Zhou Qing had a concrete understanding of the power of the human-ghost contract.

No wonder Lu Qingmo once said that after making a contract with An Lang, there is no need to worry about betrayal. The ghost can never betray the ghost owner, nor can it be disconnected by others.

This is really an ironclad rule.

"How can a contract be so difficult?"

"I can't answer this question for you. Countless experts have explored the truth, but they have gained nothing."< br>
There must be some secret behind this.

Zhou Qing made this judgment in his heart, but I am afraid that this secret cannot be explored by anyone.

Qingdai Ghost Ancestor said again:

"Even if you can terminate the contract, I'm afraid you won't be able to do so."

"Why?"

"Just now I When I was communicating with you, I was also talking to An Lang.”

Qingdai Ghost Ancestor smiled and waved, a green light emerged, and An Lang's situation was projected, accompanied by a sound.

"An Lang, you are the most suitable successor for me. I can give you my natal ghost weapon and all other treasures, so that you can inherit everything from me."

This is Qingdai Ghost Ancestor's voice was nothing more than what happened just now.

"There is only one condition for all this, which is to terminate your contract with Zhou Qing. From now on, you can no longer contact Zhou Qing. My descendants cannot be controlled by others."

"Are you willing?"

An Lang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head like a rattle.

"I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want any ghost weapon, I want to be with the young master."

"You let me out, I don't want to accept the test, your inheritance I don’t want it anymore.”

Looking at these pictures, Zhou Qing laughed, the smile reaching into his eyes and into his heart.

What a fool.
