Xie Lian continued, “I dare to guess that the name He Sheng is simply named Xuan. Moreover, his birth date and time are the same as Master Feng’s.”

To steal something and conceal the truth, you can't just find anyone to do it. Certain specific conditions must be met.

Judging from the three questions that Baihua Zhenxian asked when he first caught Shi Qingxuan, it remembered two things firmly:

First, the name of the prey has the word "Xuan" in it; second, the birth date of the prey. But it doesn't recognize the prey's face, and Master Qingxuan has to walk up to it himself. Because the Master family made up for it early, other than that, it probably doesn't know anything.

Therefore, if one wants to find someone to protect Shi Qingxuan from disaster, the person must be a man who was born on the same day, month and year as Shi Qingxuan and whose name contains the character "Xuan".

It was too difficult to find such a scapegoat. But the world is so big that he might not be able to find one even if he searched till death. Relying on his great navy, he cast a net and actually found such a person. Moreover, he was a person with the potential to ascend to heaven and was about to pass the tribulation!

How can we let go of such a good opportunity? Compared with hard practice, it is so much easier. Opportunities are rare and will never come back!

At this point, Mingyi seemed to have reacted, and his expression gradually became serious. Shi Qingxuan nodded first, then suddenly remembered something and looked at Huacheng who was leaning against the door. After all, this kind of thing cannot be discussed in front of a ghost. Huacheng crossed his arms and smiled, "Master Feng, you don't have to look at me. It's not me you should worry about. This matter has nothing to do with me. You might as well worry about whether there are other people in the Heavenly Court who have caught your brother's handle."

Ming Yi said in a deep voice: "You really do have spies in the Upper Heaven."

Hua Cheng said indifferently: "Didn't you know this a long time ago?"

The geomancer was sent to the ghost market to investigate this, but it seems that the spy was buried very deep. After more than ten years of undercover work, he still couldn't find out who it was. Hua Cheng said that this matter had nothing to do with him, and Xie Lian naturally believed it and didn't think much about it. But he also said, "Why don't you worry about the other people in the heavenly court?" Xie Lian suddenly remembered something and asked, "Master Feng, why did you open the door of the guardian array by yourself at the Qingjiutai that night? Did someone ask you to go out? Who was that person?"

Shi Qingxuan said: "Yes. It's the White Talking Immortal. As soon as he opens his mouth..."

Xie Lian put his hands up in his sleeves and said, “But how did it know your spiritual password?”

"..." Ming Yi said with a dark face, "It's all because of this guy. He wants to make friends with people everywhere all day long. He wants to chat with people whenever he has time! He talks too much!"

Shi Qingxuan said in injustice: "Brother Ming, you can't say that. The people who came to talk to me were all priests in the heavenly court. I never introduced myself to this thing!"

Xie Lian said, “Since the Immortal Baihua has been dormant for many years and has made a comeback, and is able to find out all the secrets about Master Water…it shouldn’t be difficult for him to get Master Wind’s spiritual password. Someone must have leaked your spiritual password, whether it was intentional or unintentional, we can investigate based on this.”

Mingyi continued, "So, did you see what it was? What did it do after it called you out?"

"..." Shi Qingxuan seemed to have a headache and said, "I don't know what it looks like. It cast a spell and I can't see clearly."

He spoke vaguely and did not say what he saw. Mingyi's face turned grim. Xie Lian guessed that it was probably some bloody scene of the prototype of the Blood Society Fire, which was indeed difficult to describe. After a while, Shi Qingxuan sighed and said, "I am useless. If I could fly by myself, these things would not have happened."

Shi Qingxuan's original fate was probably very good among mortals, otherwise the Baihua Zhenxian would not have set his sights on him. But he was probably far from being able to ascend to heaven. Such people were covered by a layer of spiritual energy, and it was difficult for non-human beings to attack them. Besides, which demon or ghost would be willing to provoke the future priest?

Whether a person can ascend to heaven is not determined by intelligence, nor does being smart and hardworking necessarily make it possible, nor does it mean that the more natural resources and treasures one has, the more useful they will be. Sometimes it is just so annoying. Ten years of hard study are not as good as a person's natural talent and eloquence; a hundred years of hard work are not as good as a person's enlightenment in a blink of an eye.

If you don't have that fate, then you don't have it. Even if the navy spent a lot of money on his brother, if his fate had not changed, he would probably have stopped at the middle heaven, and at most become the leader of the lower-level priests. He was able to get to this point and enjoy unlimited glory, all because his brother stole something that belonged to someone else and put it on himself. If you have a little conscience and self-respect, you can imagine how it feels after knowing the truth.

If this had not happened, how glorious would those who originally had the destiny to ascend to heaven be today?

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly flashed through Xie Lian’s mind.

He said, "No. Master Fengshi, the one who asked you to leave was not Baihua Zhenxian."

Shi Qingxuan raised his face and said, "Ah? That voice must be it. I won't be wrong."

Xie Lian said, “No, no, just because it makes the sound doesn’t mean it’s still the real body. Everyone, remember: the prey that Baihua Zhenxian targeted always committed suicide in the end. However, there is one exception.”

After a pause, he said, "How did He Sheng die? How was it performed in the Blood Society Fire? Was it suicide?"

Shi Qingxuan opened his eyes wide and said, "It's not suicide. It's..."

Mingyi said: "He died of exhaustion."

Xie Lian said, “That’s right! Even though he was beset with bad luck, He Sheng never thought of committing suicide until the very last moment.”

He concentrated and said, "Think about it carefully. This man has an extremely firm mind. He has suffered various injustices and setbacks one after another. If he were an ordinary person, he would have given up on himself or given up everything long ago. But he has been fighting and has never yielded to anything. I guess, maybe after Baihua Zhenxian found him, he never absorbed what he wanted - fear. His death was not due to collapse and suicide due to fear and despair. Baihua Zhenxian got involved with him, but he didn't get anything good. He bit into a steel plate and broke his teeth. In the end, he lost completely."

Shi Qingxuan listened, shook his head slowly, and sighed sincerely: "...I am indeed not such a person."

Xie Lian continued, “He died with a murderous aura and resentment. I don’t think a soul that has been tempered like this will rest in peace. It will surely be restless and thirst for revenge.

"So, Master Feng, I think that the current 'Bai Hua Zhen Xian' is most likely not the one who found you when you were just born. It is He Sheng, or He Xuan, who fought tenaciously to death and then devoured Bai Hua Zhen Xian!"

When these words came out, Shi Qingxuan and Mingyi were stunned. Huacheng replied calmly: "Ghosts eat ghosts."

If humans eat humans and they can bear to do it, at most they will just be full; if ghosts eat ghosts and they do it in the right way, they can digest the other party's abilities and magic power and use them for their own benefit.

Xie Lian said, “This also explains why the ‘Bai Hua Zhen Xian’ knows so many details about this matter. Originally, this kind of spirit is dull and strange, and would not be so smart. But the one who came back to find you now is a…”

He wanted to use "combined body", but felt it was not quite accurate. At this time, Hua Cheng said: "Enhanced body."

Xie Lian said, “Yes. After devouring the True Immortal Baihua, He Sheng’s consciousness completely took control. Now, he not only has the ability to curse, but he is also very smart, and he has endless hatred for you.”

Therefore, although it clearly knew Shi Qingxuan's spiritual password, it did not use spiritualism to cast a death curse on him from the beginning, but had to tighten the trap step by step, forcing him to plug his ears, close his eyes, and lock himself in an empty room. It was like a cat catching a mouse, but instead of killing it immediately, it played with it first, until it scared itself to death.

After a while, Mingyi said, "Now that things have come to this, what are you going to do?"

Everyone looked at Shi Qingxuan. Shi Qingxuan had already messed up his hair unconsciously, and said blankly: "...Don't look at me??? I... don't know what to do!!! I just... temporarily, I don't know how to look at my brother..."

After all, he was his own brother, and he committed such a heinous crime for his own sake, killing someone. It was understandable that he didn't know what to do for a while. Shi Qingxuan said, "But, I beg you all here, first, don't tell anyone! It's just temporary, just temporary, let me think about it... what should I do. Although I have thought about it for several days, I still can't think of it. Anyway, I will calm myself down first..." At the end, he was already incoherent, his eyes were straight.

Shi Wudu kept saying that he wanted Shi Qingxuan to "cure his illness". What illness could be cured? It was nothing more than falling from the altar and becoming a mortal again. Only if he was given another chance to live and ascend again, this "illness" could be cured. Although it would be difficult to find another person who was so suitable, who knew what evil methods Shi Wudu would use? No wonder Shi Qingxuan shouted that he wanted to be a mortal instead of a god, and ran away in a hurry.

And the scroll about the Baihua Zhenxian, which was full of errors and omissions, must have been misleading in order to prevent Shi Qingxuan from finding the right direction. I don't know whether it was written by Shi Wudu or Lingwen. But when Shi Wudu was looking for such a qualified person, he must have needed the help of Lingwen Hall to cast a net. Did Lingwen Zun really know nothing about this? Since Shi Qingxuan, a priest, flew up in this way, could it be that there were also second, third, or even more priests who flew up in this way?

If this is true, it is too terrible. The world is in chaos and must be treated with caution. Except for Hua Cheng who stayed out of the matter and was leisurely, everyone else in the hut looked worried, as if they were facing a great enemy. At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the hut. There were cows mooing angrily, and many farmers shouted, "Stop! Stop!"

"What do you want to do with such murderous intent!"

Xie Lian looked over to the crack in the door and said, “It’s General Pei.”

Pei Ming had just been hit by Quan Yizhen, but now he was standing outside intact. There was a crooked stele in front of him. He used the stele as a boundary, and seemed to be afraid to attack rashly. He just stood there with his sword. The farmers held hoes and sickles in their hands, and their faces were full of unwelcome. The black cow in the farmland exhaled a few times, and suddenly stood up, instantly turning into a tall and strong man with a handsome face and a small iron nose ring. He smiled and said, "Hey, isn't this General Pei, a rare guest. What brings you here? Let me make it clear first, your little Pei's affairs are none of our business."

Xie Lian seemed to be thinking about something. When he saw the farmland and the black cow just now, he had a vague impression. As expected, this place was the hometown of the Rain Master of Yulong Mountain. Back then, it was this brother Niu who lent Xie Lian the Rain Master's Hat to make it rain. After not seeing him for many years, he was still as handsome as before, and he was still as diligent and vigorous when plowing the land. Shi Qingxuan also squeezed to the crack of the door and said to Xie Lian, "The cows of the Rain Master's family are good cows."

Pei Ming had suffered a loss at the hands of the Rain Master before, so he was naturally polite and neither humble nor arrogant. He said politely, "I don't deserve it. Pei is not here to look for the Lord of the Rain Master. May I ask if the Lord of the Wind Master has come to your village?"
