Monk Wu Chen’s heart lurched, "Master’s golden body’s eleven major orifices have been sealed properly, it’s impossible that they have been broken!"
At that moment, he saw a thin stream of golden light emanating from the Danzhong acupoint on Zen Master Ku Zhu’s chest.
The golden light was incredibly fine, like a strand of hair, continuously spraying out dust.
Monk Wu Chen felt an icy chill, "Master once said that when he was young and his golden body had fully developed, he encountered a formidable enemy, who used a needle technique to hit his Danzhong and broke his golden body! But Master had re-cultivated his golden body, making it stronger than before! Yet, he, he... still hadn’t managed to cultivate his Danzhong acupoint!"
The dust was extremely fine, spraying out from the needle hole.
Suddenly, with a pop, Monk Wu Chen looked towards the sound, only to find that the monks who had been there a moment ago had vanished, replaced by several large mushrooms almost as tall as a person, dressed in monk robes.
The mushrooms were white and growing, spraying out spore-like dust.
Monk Wu Chen quickly covered his nose and mouth, as the needle hole in Zen Master Ku Zhu’s chest was gradually becoming larger.
At the posthouse, Li Tianqing recalled the boat girl’s instructions, saying, "Little Ten, the boat girl advised me not to enter the city..."
Chen Shi’s heart jumped, and he immediately said, "Why didn’t you say it earlier? Let’s get out of the city right away!"
Li Tianqing was startled and laughed, "Leave the city now? What the boat girl said might not be true..."
"If she is a messenger from the underworld, listening to her is absolutely right! We must leave the city!"
Chen Shi thought of Red Mountain Hall and said quickly, "I need to go back to Red Mountain Hall and have the brothers there evacuate the people from the city!"
Li Tianqing gritted his teeth and said, "I’ll go with you!"
The two immediately walked out, and Chen Shi shouted loudly, "All Scholars listen up! Something might happen in Gongzhou City, everyone must leave Gongzhou City immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the Scholars in the posthouse looked at each other with uncertainty.
Chen Shi shouted several times loudly, but no one moved.
The posthouse manager, hearing this, ran out in a fit of rage, lunging at Chen Shi, exclaiming, "Spread rumors again, and you will be punished for your crimes!"
Helpless, Chen Shi raised his hand and knocked the posthouse manager to the ground, stepping on his head he said, "Zen Master Ku Zhu, who just died, has been dead for who knows how many years, he sealed the eleven major acupoints of his body before his death, hoping it would be enough, but if it wasn’t, he would turn into a demon! Run now, and there’s still time! Feifei, Feifei!"
Hu Feifei ran over, smiling, "Dear, what are your orders?"
"Escort these Scholars out of the city!" Chen Shi instructed.
Hu Feifei spoke briskly, "Alright!"
She transformed into a demon fox, squatting down, taller than a person, and spat out the golden core of the Demon Clan, wagging her tail, and in an instant, each Scholar, soul-bound and unable to resist, walked out of the posthouse and followed her.
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing hurried to Red Mountain Hall.
Both activated their Armored Horse Talismans, treading on the brisk wind, whistling along at great speed.
Li Tianqing remembered something and said, "Little Ten, why did you ask Monk Wu Chen if Zen Master Ku Zhu wanted to reincarnate?"
Chen Shi said, "My grandfather once mentioned that those who have cultivated a golden body will reincarnate before they die and live another life. This method requires sealing all the acupoints in the body, keeping the essence and energy from leaking out, and after seven days, evading the pursuit of the messengers of death, only then will they open the heavenly gate on top of their heads, and the Primordial Spirit will go out to reincarnate. That’s why I asked that question."
Li Tianqing asked in confusion, "Is there really such a thing as reincarnation?"
Chen Shi hesitated, "Perhaps there is. I haven’t seen it. For the Primordial Spirit to reincarnate, it needs a new vessel, and usually, one would have been found early..."
He paused, not continuing.
The two reached Red Mountain Hall, where Chen Shi immediately burst into the hall to summon everyone at Red Mountain Hall and inform them of the situation, which greatly shocked everyone.
Incense Master Lu said, "Evacuating all the people in the city is a huge matter, and any slight mistake could be labeled as spreading rumors and ensnare us, the court is very apprehensive about this, and we might all be executed!"
Everyone fell silent.
This was a matter of life and death, and not just for one person, but for the entire family!
If Zen Master Ku Zhu truly underwent a Demon Transformation, countless lives would be lost, but if there was no Demon Transformation, there would be nowhere to bury the dead!
Everybody in Red Mountain Hall had families to care for, who would dare to gamble? freёNovelHub.com
Then, the voice of Tiancheng from Yu Tiancheng rang out, "Everyone heed my command, immediately do as the instructor ordered! I will take on all the blame for any accusations!"
