Chapter 174 Dusk Cloud City, Blood Lotus
The third memory was that one day the city lord’s daughter was refining her natal magic weapon when someone suddenly came to report that a piece of golden bone was found at the foot of Yunwu Mountain. She immediately became interested and took people to Yunwu Mountain.
After some investigation, it was discovered that there was a kind of Sanhe grass growing in Yunwu Mountain, which could temper the body, especially the bones.
The villagers living at the foot of Yunwu Mountain did not know the value of Sanhe Grass. They only thought it tasted sweet, so they ate it as a wild vegetable. As a result, the villagers not only had good health, but their bones were also exceptionally strong.
Someone immediately gave her an idea, saying that if she killed the people here and took out their refined golden bones, she could use them to forge a bone-carving knife.
The city lord's daughter had people set up a formation on Yunwu Mountain, making it impossible for the villagers to escape or contact the outside world. Then she had people build a sacrifice pool. After the sacrifice pool was built, she captured all the people from the nine villages under Yunwu Mountain and threw them into the sacrifice pool.
Nine villages, more than 6,000 villagers, not a single one was left alive. Although those villagers had resisted, they were not cultivators after all, and even if they had grown golden bones, they did not know how to use them. The guards of the City Lord's Mansion were all cultivators, and dealing with them was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.
There were corpses everywhere, cries and screams were deafening, but the guards were like emotionless puppets, only obeying the words of the city lord's daughter and turning a deaf ear to the outside world's pleas for mercy and clamor.
They were so cruel that they even spared no newborn babies.
Don't ask. If you want to know, the city lord's daughter said that those babies were breastfed and their mothers had eaten Sanhe grass, so those babies must also be skinned and bones removed.
The villagers were killed for no reason and were filled with resentment. The thick black resentment on the altar lingered for a long time. The city lord's daughter was very excited when she saw this. She immediately ordered people to condense the resentment into the knife, because when she killed people, the knife would have a curse effect.
After forty-nine days of ritual refining, a handleless bone-carving knife was finally completed.
Bai Fuling recognized it immediately. This bone-carving knife was the one held by the city lord's daughter.
No wonder the knife was so sharp and could cause the wound to rot and collapse after injuring someone. It turned out that it had a cursed effect.
How cruel could this person be? He killed more than 6,000 people without any hesitation.
Bai Fuling only felt a chill on her back, and her hairs all stood up. The breath of fear unknowingly came out from her heart and spread to her limbs, making her feel that her body was shaking uncontrollably.
By this time, the Snow Rat had finished its work. It had bitten a large human-shaped hole in the barrier, so it was not a problem for one person to enter and exit the barrier.
The strong smell of blood made Bai Fuling's fear reach its peak, and she could even hardly stand.
But Qinghe had no mercy on Bai Fuling. He grabbed Bai Fuling by the collar, lifted her up and threw her directly into the barrier.
"Come, I'll give you the qualification to kill her now." Qing He landed beside her, grabbed Bai Fuling's neck, and forced her to look up at the pool of blood in front of her.
The blood pool is a square three meters wide, and a blood lotus grows in the roiling blood plasma.
The blood lotus was blood red, and its stamens were dark purple. Although the bloody smell was everywhere, one could still smell the fragrance of the blood lotus, which had a bewitching aura.
The fragrance was so strong that it drove people crazy. It was as if the violent factors in their bodies were activated, crushing all the fear in Bai Fuling's heart.
Bai Fuling suddenly felt like looking for someone to fight, or even to kill someone.
"Heart Purification Mantra." Qinghe's voice was like a cool summer breeze, instantly waking Bai Fuling up.
Bai Fuling only felt her back go numb. She had lost control just now. She was so scared that she quickly recited the Heart Purification Mantra.
Qing He walked to the blood lotus and said to Bai Fuling, "This blood lotus was originally a body-protecting golden lotus. It should be the life-saving magic weapon of a high-level monk."
Bai Fuling was greatly shocked. "Why has it become like this? And since it is the life weapon of a high-ranking monk, how is the monk now?"
"died."
"But..." Isn't my life magic weapon still there? But facing the pool full of blood, Bai Fuling felt that nothing could happen.
She had already witnessed the cruelty of the city lord's family in three memories.
In order to practice dual cultivation with a male monk, a pair of Taoist companions were forced to die, without leaving any body behind.
For a set of silver needles, he forced, framed, and killed the Jinxiufang family.
For a bone-carving knife, he brutally killed more than 6,000 people at the foot of Yunwu Mountain.
It should not be impossible to kill a monk with great merits for the sake of such a protective golden lotus.
"Did they kill that great monk because they wanted to steal his golden lotus?" Bai Fuling asked.
Although she had guessed the truth, she still wanted to confirm it again.
"Not all of them." Qinghe said.
"Ok?"
"They not only want the golden lotus that protects the monk, but also the light of merit on his body." Qinghe said, looking at Bai Fuling's storage bag meaningfully.
Bai Fuling seemed to have sensed something and looked down at her storage bag.
What's in the storage bag?
Is it the goddess statue? Is it the things wrapped around the corpse?
Bai Fuling suddenly thought of the time when the sky above the Goddess Temple was full of golden light, and after the goddess statue was broken by her, a dark cloud filled the sky.
Because the corpse inside the goddess statue was filled with too much resentment and evil spirit, they needed to use the light of merit from the enlightened monk to cover it up.
Qing He saw her expression and knew that she had guessed something. "You guessed right. Someone needs to use the light of merit of a high monk to cover up resentment and evil spirits. And the city lord's daughter needs the golden lotus to prolong her life, so someone cooperated with the city lord."
"How can you be sure it's a collaboration?" Bai Fuling asked.
Qing He looked at her like she was an idiot, "Do you think a high monk with the light of merit is so easy to kill?"
Bai Fuling immediately lowered her head. With the city lord's cultivation level at the level of a spirit being transformed, it was indeed difficult for him to kill the Taoist monk.
Qing He seemed to have mastered the whole story and continued, "Someone needed to crush the bones and even the souls of those meritorious monks to make the statue of the goddess. Judging from the materials used in the statue of the goddess, they killed at least 136 monks."
"How dare they do this to 136 great monks? How could they be so cruel! Who is working with them?" Bai Fuling clenched her fists, an urge to cry surged up unconsciously.
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Qinghe grabbed Bai Fuling and pressed her head to let her get closer to look at the blood lotus.
"Look carefully, this blood lotus will bloom in half an hour, and then it will become the heart of the city lord's children. If you kill her again at that time, you will be punished by heaven. In other words, you only have half an hour to kill someone. Have you thought it through?"
"I..." This was too much information for Bai Fuling to digest for a moment. She was nervous and scared at the same time.
"Now only you can kill her. Because the only way to kill her is to use the God-Slaying Technique." Qinghe said.
The God-Slaying Technique? It was ironic that such a sinful person had to be killed with the God-Slaying Technique.
The God-Slaying Technique is a sword move in the White Jade Sword. Outsiders cannot learn it. Moreover, the God-Slaying Technique must be used with the White Jade Sword to exert its power.
So she has to do the killing.
So this is what Qing He meant when he said he gave her the right to kill.
