Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Ultimately, Couldn’t Be Fooled_1
At that moment.
The souls of the two beauties and the Patrol Team members were still floating in midair.
Qin Feng quickly took out a blood-red little jade bottle from Master Zhikong’s bosom.
The souls of eight hundred workers had all been confined inside.
Qin Feng crushed the little jade bottle, releasing the workers’ souls.
Then, he recited the resurrection spell.
He restored the souls of Xiaochan and Sisi, along with the Patrol Team members and the workers, back into their bodies.
Originally, Qin Feng could have dealt with Master Zhikong much earlier.
The reason he had dragged it out for so long was that he knew Master Zhikong would eventually end up in a desperate situation, using the two beauties and the Patrol Team members to cushion his fall, certainly causing their souls to leave their bodies.
When souls leave the body, it’s like having drunk Mengpo Soup, causing memory to fragment.
Now, as for the events after they entered this cavern, Sisi and the Patrol Team members should have completely lost their memories.
As for Xiaochan, because she possessed the Heaven Yin Physique, she might remember some things vaguely.
But those memories would be like a dream, leaving her unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.
While everyone was still unconscious, and to avoid the hassle of lengthy explanations later on, Qin Feng pushed out his palm.
A stream of orange-yellow flames shot out, setting Master Zhikong’s corpse on fire.
The roaring fire crackled and turned Master Zhikong’s body into a puff of black smoke that dissipated into the air.
As for the ground, there wasn’t even a trace of having been burned.
Great Saint Temple.
In the main hall, one of the four everlasting lamps suddenly went out.
The Heavn Saint Dharma King, dressed in a golden robe, turned to the monk with only one ear and commanded,
"One-Eared, your junior brother Zhikong is dead. Go find out what happened.
Who killed him?
Find the murderer and avenge him!"
One-Eared Master was the third disciple of Heavn Saint Dharma King and the senior of Master Zhikong.
Within the path of the Demon Buddha, there are five levels: Dharma Monk, Mage, Dharma King, Demon King, and Buddha King.
Each level has nine ranks, the higher the rank, the stronger the power.
One-Eared Master was a seventh-rank Mage, whereas Master Zhikong was only a third-rank Mage.
The gap of four ranks meant their powers were worlds apart.
Meanwhile, Xiaochan was the first to awaken.
In a dazed state, she seemed as if she had just woken from sleep.
The events that had transpired hovered around the edges of her consciousness, like fragments of a strange dream.
There were some impressions, but all were scattered and the information chaotic.
Thus, she asked Qin Feng, "What just happened?"
"Nothing happened at all!"
"What about Master Zhikong?"
"He probably ran away!"
"Ran away? But I seem to remember that you killed him. Also, I remember there were lots of little ghosts, and Yin Soldiers, they looked really scary."
Since Xiaochan was unsure of her memories, she voiced her doubts.
"I’m a doctor, how could I possibly kill anyone? As for the little ghosts, the Yin Soldiers and all that, it was all an illusion."
"Illusion?" Xiaochan didn’t believe what Qin Feng was saying and glared, "You bastard, you still want to fool me, don’t you?"
"Do you still remember what happened just now?" Qin Feng asked curiously.
"Of course, the old lady remembers."
Xue Xiaochan recalled for a moment and said, "That Master Zhikong, he extracted my soul. Then you killed him and gave us back our souls."
This remark made Qin Feng laugh.
It seemed that Xue Xiaochan’s Heaven Yin Physique had been activated.
Once the Heaven Yin Physique was activated and combined with her in Yin and Yang, the effect of improving cultivation could be doubled.
As for how many times it could be doubled, that depended on the tacit understanding between the two.
It also depended on whether their hearts were truly united.
Seeing Qin Feng grinning, Xue Xiaochan hit him unhappily and asked, "What about Master Zhikong? I saw you kill him, but where’s his body?"
"Uh..."
Seeing that he couldn’t hide it, Qin Feng could only explain with a smile, "I burned it with fire."
"Burned it?"
"Since Song Sisi is part of the Patrol Team, no matter how detestable that Master Zhikong was, no matter how many lives he had harmed, my killing him is still a crime. So, you must not tell Song Sisi that I killed Master Zhikong."
"But, Sisi saw you killing Master Zhikong too, didn’t she?"
"Master Zhikong made you guys leave your bodies, which is like having drunk a bowl of Mengpo Soup. So, what happened in the cave. Except for you, my wife, they should all have forgotten. And they’ll never remember.
Even if by some chance they remember, it doesn’t matter. To accuse me of murder, they first need to find the body! Master Zhikong’s body turned into a plume of black smoke and dispersed into the air, not even a tiny bit of bone and ash remained. So, they can’t pin any crime on me."
"You can turn a body into a plume of black smoke? Doesn’t that mean you can kill anyone, and as long as you burn their body, they can’t pin any crime on you?"
"Yeah! If you dare to cheat, I’ll kill that lover and then burn him. Anyone who dares to cuckold me, I’ll make sure they leave no trace behind!"
"Get lost! Stop talking nonsense! The old lady isn’t so lowly, and I don’t have the time to cuckold you."
"I killed Master Zhikong, and just before the end, he said his master, the Heaven Saint Dharma King, will surely seek revenge on me! With my current strength, I’m probably no match for the Heaven Saint Dharma King. So, my wife, you’ll have to help me."
"How can I help you?"
"Let’s consummate our marriage!"
"Get lost!"
Xue Xiaochan hit Qin Feng and scolded unhappily, "All day long, you only think about such trivial matters. Can’t you think of something serious for once in your head?"
"What serious matter?"
"Sisi and the others haven’t woken up yet; hurry up and wake them!"
Qin Feng took out a bronze gong from a black cloth bag.
Noticing the bronze gong’s peculiar appearance, Xue Xiaochan curiously asked, "What’s this thing?"
"The Corpse-Driving Gong."
"Corpse driving? You’re going to drive them out like you would a corpse?"
"The yin energy in this cave is too strong, inside here they can’t wake up. If we forcefully woke them up, they would very easily lose their souls. So, it’s best to drive them out and let them wake up in a relatively normal environment."
After saying this, Qin Feng hung the other black bag that hadn’t been used yet around Qi Hong’s neck.
This action left Xue Xiaochan somewhat puzzled.
"What are you doing this for?"
"The contents of this black bag will be useful after we leave. I can’t let my wife carry it, so I had no choice but to hang it on Deputy Captain Qi’s neck."
"You’re such a sneaky bastard."
Qin Feng held the bronze gong in one hand and a mallet in the other and struck hard.
"Kong!"
The deafening sound of the gong left Xue Xiaochan’s ears buzzing.
Xue Xiaochan, annoyed, slapped Qin Feng on the butt and yelled, "Can’t you keep it down? You almost deafened your wife’s ears!"
