Кровь привидения питомца

Глава 28

If he still remembered his past and his doctor girlfriend Jiang Yao, he would never have any other thoughts about Chen Feier's words.

However, things are different now, and Feng Shui has completely forgotten about the time when he was with Jiang Yao.

Inside Chen Feier's room, Feng Shui sat on an Italian designer sofa, enjoying the luxury of the hotel suite, while Chen Feier poured two glasses of French red wine and sat down next to him.

"This is a 1982 French red wine, which I brought specially. Try it and see what you think," Chen Feier said gently, handing Feng Shui a glass.

"I rarely drink red wine; my forte is white wine with beer," Feng Shui said, taking the glass, smelling it, and then remarking.

"You can't judge the quality of red wine by its smell, you should do it this way," Chen Feier said gently.

Chen Feier picked up her wine glass, took a small sip of red wine, and then savored it, letting the rich, delicious flavor fill her mouth. She slowly drank it down, then extended her tongue and gently licked her lips – a gesture full of allure and provocation. The alcohol had reddened her previously pale face, making her appear even more beautiful and captivating.

Looking at Chen Feier's alluring appearance, Feng Shui couldn't help but swallow hard, his heart beating much faster than usual. Having little experience with women, he felt somewhat at a loss. He downed his glass of red wine in one gulp, and his heart pounded even faster.

"Ever since that terrifying experience, I haven't been able to get a good night's sleep. Every time I wake up from a nightmare, I feel so scared and cold," Chen Feier said pitifully, looking like a delicate young girl.

"Don't worry, now that I've taken your money and come all this way, I'll definitely help you resolve this matter," the feng shui master reassured him.

"Thank you, I feel relieved to hear that. I'm a little cold, could you give me a hug?" Chen Feier asked tentatively.

"This...this..." Feng Shui was caught off guard by Chen Feier's directness.

Before Feng Shui could decide, Chen Feier threw herself into his arms, pinning him down beneath her. She hugged his shoulders, her sexy and fiery body pressed tightly against his, making Feng Shui's heart pound like a deer's.

Feng Shui was taken aback by Chen Feier's boldness and directness, unsure of what to do with his hands. Chen Feier, however, paid no heed, her fiery lips already pressed against Feng Shui's. Feng Shui, never having experienced anything like this before, was immediately overwhelmed and utterly captivated. As the saying goes, "Life is like rape; rather than struggling in pain, it's better to close your eyes and enjoy it."

At this moment, Feng Shui finally understood the meaning of those words, and closed his eyes to savor the sweet kiss of the beautiful woman in his arms.

A glint of blue light suddenly flashed behind Chen Feier's sunglasses, and her kiss on Feng Shui's lips changed from a light peck to a strong sucking. Her hands gripped Feng Shui's wrists tightly, rendering him unable to move an inch.

At first, Feng Shui thought Chen Feier was going to give him something like Japanese-style SM. He thought that rich people might like this kind of thing. Although he didn't like SM, people are curious, so he wanted to take this opportunity to see what it was like.

However, Feng Shui noticed something was wrong. Chen Feier's weight on his body suddenly became extremely heavy, making it hard for him to breathe. Moreover, Chen Feier's hand, which was gripping his wrist, was like an iron reed, tightly controlling him. Chen Feier was kissing his lips and forcefully sucking away his life force.

"What do you want to do!" Feng Shui's mouth was sucked by Chen Feier, so he could only ask with his spiritual sense.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be someone who has cultivated, actually knowing how to communicate with me using spiritual sense." Chen Feier actually replied using spiritual sense.

"You're not Chen Feier, who are you?" Feng Shui forced himself to calm down, locked his life force, and used all his strength to push away Chen Feier who was pressing down on him.

"I didn't expect you to have such skill. You were able to lock your true life energy and even break the binding array I placed on you," Chen Feier said admiringly, standing five meters away from Feng Shui.

"Who exactly are you? Why are you possessing someone else's body?" The feng shui master could tell that Chen Feier was no longer the real person she was.

"Want to know my true face? Well, that depends on your ability. Come and chase me." Chen Feier suddenly took flight, her entire body lunging towards the window. She managed to pass through the window without breaking the glass and fly swiftly into the darkness.

"I never expected to run into something like this again, so frustrating...!" Feng Shui recalled the scene when the water demon possessed Zhou Feiliu before.

Now something else has taken over Chen Feier's body, and this troublesome thing has happened twice, making Feng Shui feel somewhat depressed.

No time to think about it anymore. After all, Chen Feier was his client. If she died, who would he ask for his remaining payment of over a million yuan? Using the "Wave of Wind from Under the Sleeve" technique, he once again drew his black short blade and used Feng Shui Sword Control to break through the window and chase after Chen Feier in the direction she had flown.

Part Two: Cultivation Array

Chapter Six: Clouds and Rain over Wushan

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Wuxia Gorge is secluded, beautiful, and unique. The peaks on both sides are majestic and elegant, with the mountains as dark as ink. Ancient trees and green vines grow among the rocks, and waterfalls and springs cascade down the cliffs. The river meanders through the gorge, winding and turning, giving one a sense of "a secluded and tranquil place" when traveling by boat.

Among the most renowned peaks in the Wu Gorge are the Twelve Peaks of Wushan. Of these, the Goddess Peak is the most captivating. Standing majestically by the river, its summit is often shrouded in mist and drizzle, a light, refreshing mist that seems to dampen clothes. The verdant peaks and sheer cliffs shrouded in mist and rain resemble a perfectly balanced traditional Chinese landscape painting. The wonder of the clouds and rain over Wushan is testified to by the Tang Dynasty poet Yuan Zhen: "Having seen the vast ocean, other waters seem insignificant; having beheld the clouds of Wushan, other clouds are not worth seeing."

Goddess Peak, also known as Wangxia Peak, is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, about 15 kilometers east of Wushan County. A giant rock juts out from the green peaks and clouds, resembling a graceful and beautiful maiden, hence the name Goddess Peak. Ancient people said, "The peak soars into the clouds, its foot plunges straight into the river; critics say that even Mount Tai, Mount Hua, Mount Heng, and Mount Lu cannot match its wonder." Whenever clouds and mist swirl around the summit, the human-shaped stone pillar appears as if draped in a thin veil, appearing even more tender and charming. It is the first to greet the brilliant sunrise each day and the last to bid farewell to the magnificent sunset, hence the name "Wangxia Peak" (meaning "Peak for Gazing at the Sunset").

It was already dusk. The Yangtze River flowed endlessly below the peak. Although the peak was shrouded in clouds, the darkness of the night gave it an eerie, ghostly appearance, making the night view of the peak even more strange.

Feng Shui swirled among the clouds and mist, and the black short blade in his hand gleamed with an unusual light in the mist, as if it resonated with the environment.

Upon reaching this point, Chen Feier vanished into thin air. Feng Shui used his spiritual sense to explore the surroundings, only to find that it couldn't penetrate the clouds at the summit, as if some mysterious magnetic field was blocking his spiritual sense. From this, Feng Shui could be certain that Chen Feier must have used the special properties of the clouds here to evade his spiritual tracking and had hidden herself in the Goddess Peak below.

"This place seems to be full of spiritual energy. It shouldn't be a place where demons and monsters roam, right?" Feng Shui sensed the difference between this place and the other side. He found that the entire Goddess Peak was filled with an unusually strong spiritual energy, which did not seem to be a place where demons lived.

However, feng shui practitioners have no idea about the mysterious changes in the spiritual energy of this place caused by the alternation of day and night.

Goddess Peak is situated by the river, its summit pointing directly to the realm of immortals. During the day, it draws in the celestial energy overflowing from this realm, which in turn attracts the essence of heaven. However, at night, the realm of immortals closes its gates, just as the opposite of extreme yang is extreme yin, much like the yin and yang of Taiji, where they are mutually generative.

Therefore, every nightfall, the secluded cave beneath Goddess Peak opens wide, absorbing the celestial energy gathered at the peak during the day, undergoing a refining process of yin and yang alternation. At the same time, Goddess Peak also absorbs the essence of the earth. Thus, what appears at the peak during the day is celestial energy, while at night it transforms into yin and evil mist.

The tools and implements used in Feng Shui are essentially demonic artifacts used for cultivating demonic powers. They share similar attributes with the evil and malevolent energy, which is why the mist at the mountain peak reveals the demonic nature of their properties.

As Feng Shui rode his sword through the clouds, a strange excitement welled up within him. He felt the gates of his body's protective array widening, drawing in the demonic energy from the clouds. This was a first for him, and Feng Shui thought that if he could cultivate diligently here, his cultivation level would likely advance by leaps and bounds.

However, now is not the time to consider these things, because his client Chen Feier has been kidnapped by an alien entity. If he doesn't rescue Chen Feier, his first business deal will fall through, which is something Feng Shui does not want to see.

Landing atop the peak, the scenery was indeed breathtaking. Even at night, the strange rocks scattered across the summit, the swaying shadows of the trees, and the faint blue mist weaving through the shadows created a mysterious and fantastical scene.

"As expected of the land of Sichuan and Chongqing, a place of outstanding people and abundant resources. I think there was a fantasy movie called 'The Legend of Zu Mountain' that was filmed here. Hehe." Feng Shui, feeling the wonder of Goddess Peak and marveling at the abundance of spiritual energy here, fully utilized his rich imagination and couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, Feng Shui felt his spiritual sense become acute again, as if drawn by an uncontrollable force, unleashing a search that covered the entire Goddess Peak within seconds. Even so, he still couldn't find Chen Feier's whereabouts, but he did discover something else. On the mountainside, an extremely strong spiritual energy was circulating and cultivating, and this area was far from the summit where Feng Shui was located…

"It would be great if I could teleport there instantly." Feng Shui didn't want to use flying techniques because the spiritual energy here was abundant. Feng Shui thought it would be better if he could use the spiritual energy here to activate his potential techniques.

Whenever Feng Shui racked his brains to find a solution to a problem, some cultivation methods would inadvertently appear in his subconscious, inviting him to use them. Feng Shui always used these methods with ease, as if they were things he frequently used in the past. Through this, Feng Shui had long realized that someone might have used some strange method to seal his memories, and that only when he faced danger or exerted himself to explore would some of his past memories break through the seal and surface.

This feeling puzzled Feng Shui greatly. On the one hand, Feng Shui knew that he possessed a very peculiar power and had a keen sense of perception for certain special things. However, he would not fully utilize them in normal times. Only in the most dangerous situations would these memory fragments barely attempt to break through their seals and restrictions, but they would not be able to be fully released due to other unexpected events around him.

Just as in Snow City, when Feng Shui broke through the barrier created by the water demon in the lake, forcing her to trigger the eruption of a dormant volcano underground to stop his attack, Feng Shui already sensed his memories slowly breaking free from the seal within his body. The "Qiankun Fuyi Dharma Wheel Mantra" he used at that time was actually a boundary array for a cultivation technique that suddenly appeared in his memories. Feng Shui naturally used it, and it proved to be perfectly effective and extremely powerful.

However, just as he was preparing to absorb more fragments of his memories, Li Zhanghao suddenly appeared to help him. Moreover, it was Li Zhanghao who dealt with the water demon, thus indirectly preventing him from reactivating his memory and finding a suitable boundary array. Therefore, his cultivation level stagnated, yet he would inadvertently receive some suddenly appearing, seemingly familiar fragments. The NMDGPS system that Li Zhanghao gave him when they parted ways created a dependency, making it even more difficult for him to rely entirely on his spiritual sense for broader exploration and application. This further hampered Feng Shui's opportunities to find his latent memories and acquire more cultivation methods.

Upon arriving at Goddess Peak in Sichuan, Feng Shui discovered that the area was filled with spiritual energy perfectly suited to him, and his spiritual awareness had unexpectedly strengthened—a reward he hadn't anticipated. Feng Shui isn't a rigid person; he often thinks critically and his imagination is incredibly rich and bold. That's why he conceived of the "teleportation" technique. He plans to use the spiritual energy here to fully awaken all his sealed memories. This might be an opportunity given to him by heaven, and he's now preparing to seize it and reclaim everything he's lost.

At this moment, Feng Shui sensed that the intense evil energy at the mountain's waist seemed to have noticed his presence and stopped its breathing. The evil energy concealed most of its aura, but Feng Shui could still sense it to some extent. The evil energy did not come into contact with Feng Shui's spiritual sense, and Feng Shui did not know whether it was friend or foe.

Feng Shui realized it wasn't the right time to delve into his sealed memories here; he needed to first understand the true nature of that malevolent energy. If he used the spiritual energy to unlock the memories, he would be unprotected. If that malevolent energy were to invade his body, he would become like Zhou Feiliu before and Chen Feier now—completely no longer an ape—but a baboon (Feifei). Feng Shui wouldn't risk his life like that.

2004-12-08 15:08:00

However, if Feng Shui knew the true nature of the demonic body he possessed, he would no longer have so many concerns.

After sorting out his somewhat chaotic thoughts, Feng Shui abandoned the idea of digging for cultivation methods in his memories. He took out his black short blade again and flew towards the location of the evil spirit energy at the mountainside.

※ ※ ※

Three days have passed since Gui Eting returned to the human world from the demon realm. She rushed back to the Yunmiao Palace, the headquarters of the Illusion Sect, on the top of Shaoshan Mountain, packed her full set of magical weapons, and then traveled alone to Sichuan, the land of Bashu.

Han Zheng and his immortal senior sister Lian Linlan went to the Netherworld to continue their investigation into Feng Shui's whereabouts. Gui Eting still remembered what Han Zheng had said to her when she was on the painted boat of the immortal Feng Yileng in the Demon Realm, while her senior sister was playing chess with Senior Feng Yileng.

"Senior Feng gave me a celestial artifact for my use after I ascend to immortality. This artifact was forged by Senior Feng in ancient times for his own tribulation during his ascension. However, for some reason, Senior Feng was unable to become an immortal, so this artifact has been sealed within the Bashu Immortal Realm. Recently, this artifact will break free from its seal, and many evil spirits will surely flock to it, wanting to possess it. Therefore, I order you to return to the mortal realm immediately. I will teach you the method of retrieving celestial artifacts passed down by Senior Feng, and you will be responsible for retrieving it when it is released," Han Zheng said cautiously.

“Lord Hanzheng, any demon capable of collecting immortal artifacts must have reached a certain level of cultivation. Although I have already cultivated to the ‘Seeking Immortality’ stage, I am still not strong enough to deal with so many demons. I may not be able to complete this task on my own,” Gui Eting said with difficulty.

"The appearance of a celestial artifact will surely be felt by all cultivators in the world. Our sect now only has you left who can reach the 'Seeking Immortality' realm, so this task can only be completed by you. As for me, I have other matters to attend to, so it is inconvenient for me to return to the mortal realm to help you. The appearance of a celestial artifact in the mortal realm is itself an ominous sign, which may endanger the lives of ordinary humans, so this matter can only be completed by you," Han Zheng said with difficulty.

"Your Excellency Hanzheng, why do you say that?" Gui Eting asked, puzzled.

"The appearance of celestial artifacts is something that cultivators in the mortal realm cannot possibly obtain. However, the selfish nature of humanity is deeply ingrained. Even knowing they won't use them, people will still try to possess them first, to see what happens later. Therefore, everyone will inevitably fight over celestial artifacts, and other demons and monsters remaining in the mortal realm will also flock to them because of the celestial energy they exude. They hope to absorb the celestial artifacts to reach a higher level of cultivation. In that case, the cultivation world will inevitably experience a massive bloodbath. Therefore, I am sending you back to retrieve the celestial artifacts before everyone else does," Han Zheng instructed.

"In that case, why doesn't Your Excellency ask the Immortal Uncle for help?" Gui Eting asked curiously.

"Immortal, humph, immortal. Haven't you seen the situation in the Immortal Realm through my senior sister, an immortal? The magical artifacts used by cultivators in ancient times to transcend tribulations are something even the supreme immortals of the Immortal Realm would envy. This is because the cultivators of ancient times have now basically reached the realm of gods, and the level of the magical artifacts they forged has also changed in essence because of the creators' god-like cultivation." Han Zheng said helplessly.

"Could it be that this immortal artifact is comparable to a divine artifact?!" Gui Eting gasped in shock as she asked.

“That’s right. Although Senior Feng is now a Loose Immortal, the fact that he has managed to survive alone in the Demon Realm until now is enough to make him comparable to a god or a demon god. In other words, he says he is a Loose Immortal, but his cultivation level has already reached the Wandering God realm,” Han Zheng said with emotion.

"The Wandering God?" Gui Eting was also hearing this title for the first time.

"A wandering deity is a being that exists between a god and a human. Just like a wandering immortal who has abandoned his physical body without achieving immortality, a wandering deity is a state of being that a wandering immortal achieves after undergoing ten thousand tribulations of refinement, surpassing even the supreme immortal, and only one step away from a god," Han Zheng said with a reverent expression.

"No wonder the Immortal Uncle-Master treats Senior Feng with such respect," Gui Eting exclaimed.

"In the cultivation world, only powerful strength is the true foundation. Without strength, one will be as insignificant as an ant. Do you understand what I mean?" Han Zheng's eyes gleamed with a cold and resolute gaze as she instructed Gui Eting.

“I understand. I will now return to the mortal realm. Please await good news, Your Majesty,” Gui Eting said respectfully.

"This mission to collect the immortal artifacts is exceptionally difficult, and it will be hard for you to complete it alone. However, you will encounter a benefactor who will help you. As for who this benefactor is, you will only know when you meet him. These are all omens from Senior Feng, so be careful," Han Zheng said with concern.

Han Zheng's words were still vivid in her mind. Gui Eting kept thinking about the last paragraph. Who would be the benefactor who would help her? This matter created a knot in Gui Eting's heart.

※ ※ ※

"We are all sharpshooters, each bullet eliminating an enemy; we are all flying soldiers, no matter how high the mountains or how deep the waters. Our comrades' camps are set up everywhere in the dense forests, and our countless good brothers are on the high mountain ridges..."

As Feng Shui flew through the dense forests of Goddess Peak, whether out of excitement or fear of being alone in the deep mountains and forests so late at night, he began to sing "The Guerrilla Song" to amuse himself.

Within minutes, Feng Shui had flown to the mountainside, where a small, smooth platform stood. The trees surrounding it appeared much larger and more lush than those on the rest of Goddess Peak. Had Feng Shui not used his spiritual sense to locate it, he would never have discovered this small platform. Judging from its smoothness, it was likely left by someone who had practiced meditation there over many years. Upon Feng Shui's arrival, the previously present spiritual energy miraculously vanished, and his subsequent search with his spiritual sense yielded no results.

Looking around, Feng Shui suddenly noticed a strange spiritual energy emanating from the platform. He then imitated a monk's meditation posture, sitting cross-legged on it with remarkable skill. As soon as he sat down, Feng Shui felt waves of pure spiritual energy rapidly flowing from beneath the platform into his body's meridian points, instantly bringing him immense comfort.

So that's how it is. This is actually the location of the Eye of Spiritual Energy, the place where all the spiritual energy on the entire Goddess Peak converges.

"It truly is a wonderful place. No wonder ancient books always say that immortals emerge from Sichuan and Chongqing. In such a place where spiritual energy gathers, even ordinary people who sit here year after year will undergo a complete transformation. It's truly a wonderful place," the feng shui master exclaimed.

Gradually, Feng Shui channeled his spiritual consciousness into his body and began cultivating using the spiritual eye beneath him. Pure spiritual energy flowed continuously like a surging river, surging back and forth between the various meridians in Feng Shui's body. The unparalleled comfort made Feng Shui completely immersed in it, no longer caring about any external dangers.

Feng Shui's spiritual awareness was like a lively little rabbit, leading this pure spiritual energy through the various meridians of his body, making Feng Shui feel incredibly refreshed. However, several meridians hidden in the brain seemed to be locked, preventing the spiritual awareness from passing through and causing the spiritual energy to stop there completely. This feeling made Feng Shui extremely uncomfortable, like needing to urinate but having nowhere to release it.

Gradually, Feng Shui concentrated all his spiritual energy on the several blocked meridians in his brain, then closed all the other meridians in his body, allowing the spiritual energy from the spiritual eye beneath him to flow directly into the blocked areas of his brain without any obstruction. As the spiritual energy accumulated, and because it couldn't flow through the other meridians, Feng Shui felt as if his head was about to explode.

Just then, Feng Shui realized that his spiritual consciousness had completely disappeared, and the entire world was filled with light. Feng Shui knew this was the original form of spiritual energy. The first blocked meridian in his brain had been torn open, and spiritual energy immediately invaded this breakthrough point. The spiritual energy trapped in Feng Shui's body finally had an outlet and surged towards this meridian in his brain. In just a few seconds, this meridian was completely broken through due to the massive influx of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy continued to surge upwards, encountering another blocked meridian, and this blockage was even stronger than the one that had just been broken through.

2004-12-08 15:14:00

At this moment, Feng Shui had completely fallen into the self-control consciousness of the body's array. He closed all his meridians, which meant shutting down all six senses, relying solely on the spiritual energy eye beneath him to guide the flow of energy through his body. In fact, Feng Shui did this in an attempt to break through the seal that bound his memories by using this location, which gathers the purest spiritual energy in the world.

Feng Shui was a clever man; he knew that his own power was simply insufficient to break the memory seal. However, upon arriving at Goddess Peak, Feng Shui unexpectedly discovered that Goddess Peak was actually a place where the essence of heaven and earth gathered, and this spiritual eye refined the essence of heaven and earth stored in Goddess Peak into even purer immortal spiritual energy.

This celestial energy is the best auxiliary energy for cultivators who have reached the Ascension Realm and are undergoing tribulation to become immortals. Although this celestial energy does not greatly help the cultivation of immortals, it is a coveted treasure for some cultivators with low cultivation levels and low-level demons.

Suddenly, Feng Shui heard a very crisp sound. At first, he thought someone had come near him, but then he realized that he had shut down his six senses and no longer had the ability to hear. Suddenly, he discovered that all the meridians in his brain had been opened. The meridians in his brain, encountering spiritual energy, felt incredibly refreshed, like parched land receiving sweet rain.

Familiar scenes flashed before Feng Shui's eyes like a film reel, countless images like a person seeing all their life experiences in their last moments before death.

※ ※ ※

It was a hazy space, filled with spiritual energy of various colors. Creatures of all shapes and sizes roamed the earth, all living peacefully yet in a murky way. A man, completely naked, his face obscured, could only be vaguely seen with strange, unusual tattoos on his chest and back. These tattoos resembled characters, yet their meaning remained unrecognizable.

The man removed a dragon-shaped earring from his left ear and threw it forcefully towards the sky. Slowly, the dragon-shaped earring transformed into an enormous dragon amidst the spiritual energy. This dragon was recognized by feng shui; it was the "Releasing Dragon Plate."

The "Dragon-Releasing Disc" shook its head and wagged its tail, seemingly trying to tear the heavens and earth apart, flying back and forth throughout the space. Everyone in this world was terrified and scattered in all directions. Finally, the Dragon-Releasing Disc flew back to the man with the strange tattoos. The man leaped onto its back, and the disc carried him into the sky, gradually disappearing from sight. Suddenly, an incomparably bright light flashed throughout the space, all spiritual energy vanished, revealing the dark outer space of the universe. Some of the creatures in this world were sucked into the void of space, while others escaped the catastrophe by using cover.

Feng Shui watched everything unfold before him as if it were a movie. He heard the terrified screams of life facing death, and the desperate looks in eyes terrified by extreme fear. But then, the scene shifted again, and the tattooed man riding the Dragon-Slaying Disc reappeared before him. He rode on the disc, suspended in the void of the universe, before him countless, densely packed galaxies and stars crammed together like eggs in a refrigerator drawer. Suddenly, the man and the Dragon-Slaying Disc transformed into a light darker than the universe itself, yet gleaming with an ethereal glow, rushing towards the galaxies and stars before him. In the blink of an eye, an unprecedented super-explosion occurred throughout the universe. All the galaxies and stars were scattered by the explosion, forming irregular arrangements, yet these seemingly irregular arrangements faintly revealed a regular pattern of operation—this was the formation of the universe.

The man and Shi Longpan disappeared without a trace. In a short while, two bright spots suddenly appeared in the distant cosmic void, flying rapidly toward the solar system at faster-than-light speed.
