âThat I donât know.â The man gently shook his head. âI said I have only awakened a total of sixteen times, and each time was for a short period. Ten of those times, I woke up to take you back into reincarnation when your evil qi was uncontrollable. As for the remaining six times, I have seen six spiritual weapons. Judging from the passage of time, if youâre lucky enough to have the remaining five spiritual weapons transformed as successfully as the Bronze Sword, you will be able to completely separate the evil qi within your soul.â
âThen how do I go about finding these five spiritual artifacts?â Lou Ming asked again.
âThatâs up to you.â At this juncture, the golden light on the manâs body suddenly flashed. The man stilled for a moment and said, âI have been out for a bit too long and must go back. Remember, as long as you bring the six pieces of the most Yin and Evil spiritual artifacts, I will awaken again and completely transfer the evil qi inside your soul.â
âIsnât there any clue at all?â The Bronze Sword had been buried for more than a thousand years before it was dug up. How long would it take him to find the other five spiritual weapons?
The man shook his head. His body began to blur into countless points of light, and when he was about to disappear, Lou Ming suddenly called out to him: âWait, what was my name in my first life?â
âFeng Luo!â The man smiled faintly, and that point of light merged into Lou Mingâs soul and disappeared.
Elder Wu sent Lou Mingâs living soul back to his body. Because the soul left the body for a certain period, Lou Ming needed to sleep for an hour or two to wake up. And during this time, Elder Wu had already recounted everything that happened in the bedroom in detail with everyone.
âSo Lou Ming has reincarnated with his evil spirit at least ten times.â And his ten previous reincarnations all died young. With this in mind, Master Mao couldnât help but sigh.
âIâll have someone go find the remaining five spiritual weapons.â After listening to Elder Wuâs narrative, Minister Louâs face remained sullen and silent. Without warning, he then stood up excitedly and was about to walk out.
âMinister Lou.â Master Mao hurriedly stopped the excited Minister Lou and said, âI understand your feelings, but the world is so big. Where can you find the five spiritual weapons?â
âThe Bronze Sword was dug out by archaeologists from an ancient tomb site, so the other spiritual weapons are probably in there too,â Minister Lou said.
âHow many ancient tombs can archaeologists find in a year? Lou Ming simply canât wait that long.â Master Mao said.
âThen what other way do you think?â As soon as Minister Lou thought that Lou Ming would still carry his evil spirit in his next life as well if they failed to find all the six spiritual artifacts, he couldnât help but feel uncomfortable, and even angry.
If there was no solution, it would be fine. However, now that there was a solution, but he couldnât find all five spiritual artifacts, how could he be willing to do so? If he didnât find them in this life, and Lou Ming reincarnated again and forgot the memories of this life again, wouldnât he have to start all over again? If he was unlucky, it was likely that he wouldnât even know about the six spiritual artifacts until death.
âActually, itâs not completely clueless,â Elder Wu suddenly said.
âGrandpa, do you have a way?â Chen Yu grabbed Elder Wuâs arm with reddened eyes.
From the time Chen Yu heard that Lou Ming had actually reincarnated ten lifetimes with his evil spirit, she felt as if a huge stone was pressing on her chest. She felt so uncomfortable and unable to breathe.
In the previous ten lives, did Third Brother meet a person like me who isnât affected by his evil qi or lived alone? The more Chen Yu thought about it, the sadder she felt. Her eyes couldnât help but redden.
âBut the operation is a little difficult,â Elder Wu said again.
âBeing difficult is better than having no clue. What exactly is the solution? Quickly say it.â Chen Yu couldnât resist urging.
âLittle Friend Chen is right. We can overcome difficulties as long as we can find clues,â Master Mao also said.
âThatâs right, Master Wu, you can say what methods you have. Iâll solve the other problems,â Minister Lou followed and said.
âWhy are you guys so excited? Since I mentioned it, I naturally wonât hide it.â Elder Wu disgustedly pushed away his granddaughter who was holding his arm before continuing, âIn fact, the clue is in Lou Ming himself.â
The crowd looked at Elder Wu in confusion. How did the clue lie in Lou Mingâs body?
âFeng Luo said that he injected the six spiritual artifacts with evil qi.â Elder Wu analyzed, âAlthough Feng Luo had awakened for a short time and didnât know where the spiritual artifacts that had been injected with evil qi were placed, Lou Ming must know.â
âThird Brotherâs past life?â Chen Yu reacted instantly.
Elder Wu glanced at his granddaughter approvingly. She was indeed worthy of being a child of Imperial Capital University. Her brain was just good.
âYes.â Master Mao also reacted at this time, and he said excitedly, âAlthough Lou Ming has no more memories of his past lives, the Book of Life and Death in the Underworld will make a detailed record of a mortalâs repeated life experiences. As long as we can find the information of Lou Mingâs past ten lives from the Book of Life and Death, we can find the whereabouts of the remaining five spiritual artifacts from it.â
âBook of Life and Death? Can I look through it to consult it?â Although Minister Lou was not a person in Metaphysics, he also knew that such things shouldnât be accessible to anyone.
âOrdinary people naturally canât view the Book of Life and Death, but ghosts can.â Master Mao explained, âAlthough there are rules in the Underworld where ghost messengers canât just reveal the past lives of mortals, if a Celestial Master is strong enough and has a good enough relationship with them, it isnât impossible. After all, past lives are different from this life. Past lives have become history. Even if you know someoneâs past life experience, it wonât change anything.â
âThen Master Mao, can you get a ghost messenger to view Lou Mingâs life experiences in his previous lives?â Minister Lou asked.
âThis poor Daoist is ashamed to say that although I barely entered the Underworld once, there is no ghost messenger Iâm familiar with.â Master Mao turned to Elder Wu and said, âIâm afraid we still have to rely on Perfected Lou He to have a trip to the Underworld for this matter.â
Minister Lou turned to Elder Wu expectantly.
âIâm ashamed to say that although it isnât difficult to go to the Underworld, and I also know some ghost messengers, but, cough, my relationship with the Underworld is really not quite amicable.â A wanted criminal in the Underworld would go to the Underworldâs police for information? Wasnât that the same as surrendering.
Master Mao didnât expect that Elder Wu couldnât go either. He immediately frowned and began to think about who else among the masters of metaphysics he knew had the strength to make a trip to the Underworld.
âWhat level of ghost messenger can look through the Book of Life and Death?â Chen Yu, who had been quietly listening to them, suddenly spoke up and asked, âCan a magistrate under the seat of the City God do it?â
âDo you know a magistrate?â Master Mao exclaimed in amazement.
âYeah!â Chen Yu shook her phone. âI have his phone number.â
The Author has something to say:
Master Mao: I have the phone numbers of Metaphysics masters from various countries.
Minister Lou: I have the phone numbers of all important leaders of the country.
Xishi: I have the phone number of someone in the Underworld.
Elder Wu: When I caused chaos in the Underworld, there was no phone in the world of the living. Otherwise I could have had Yanwangâs phone numberâŠ
