Chapter 686: What is the Purple Tai Sui?
Chapter 686: What is the Purple Tai Sui?
"I've already acknowledged my identity, and in the future, when we meet openly, no one will think I'm being dishonest, right?"
After disconnecting, Hu Ma also pondered for a moment, sorting out his thoughts one by one.
In the end, the current situation had reached a rather delicate point. He needed the help of a reincarnator to defeat the Meng family, and the reincarnator also required the reputation of the Zhen Chong Hu family to gain momentum. The two were almost perfectly aligned.
However, he couldn't help but admit that he had always harbored a shadow in his heart.
The reason for the first reincarnator's purge and the secrets of the Zhen Chong Mansion had left him feeling uneasy. He needed to investigate these matters promptly to find peace of mind.
After contemplating these issues, he called Miss White Wine.
She had always been knowledgeable about health preservation, going to bed early and rising early. When he called her, she usually responded promptly. But this time, after calling her several times, he finally heard her slightly weary voice, saying directly, "You received the prescription I gave you, right?"
"Yes."
Hu Ma said, "I was just about to ask."
"Just by looking at that prescription, you should understand."
Miss White Wine sighed softly, "Previously in Guazhou, after obtaining the prescription from the manager of the One Life Pavilion, I've been carefully studying it, searching through all the books in the Caoxin Hall. The more I studied, the more shocked I became."
"This legendary supreme Purple Tai Sui..."
"..."
Hu Ma spoke softly, "Is it a person?"
This seemed like a startling answer, but whether it was when he saw the prescription or now, he somehow didn't feel surprised.
"To be precise, it's a type of energy that can be refined from a person."
Miss White Wine spoke in a low voice, "It's not a calamity energy. Calamity energy is the turbid energy exhaled by a person after death."
"This turbid energy is tainted by the joys and sorrows of human life, clinging to grudges and unwillingness, thus becoming a Yin spirit."
"But Purple Tai Sui is even purer. It's a substance bestowed by heaven and earth, transcending the material realm. I can't even describe it using the terms from our previous life."
"I can only use some of the things I've learned in this world to refer to it as spirituality or primordial soul. Whether it's humans gaining wisdom, demons gaining spirituality, or the acquisition of magical powers, it all originates from this..."
"It doesn't only exist within humans; it's just that it's easier to find in humans. In fact, it's the spirituality of heaven and earth."
"..."
After speaking in one breath, she paused slightly and sighed softly, "The method of the One Life Pavilion was to force out this energy from a child's body before it was overly tainted by the cause and effect of the mortal realm, while it was still relatively pure. Then, with the aid of alchemical secret techniques, it was refined."
"The prescription isn't perfect, and the refined Purple Tai Sui may not be entirely pure, but in theory, the Meng family and the Yan family are essentially the same."
"It's just that one uses the Earth Snake God, while the other uses the Governor of Guanzhou."
"..."
Listening to her words, Hu Ma heard, for the first time, a sense of oppression from Miss White Wine, who usually had a cool and calm demeanor. He slowly said, "I heard someone mention a long time ago that Tai Sui's flesh and blood, along with humans, are the two greatest treasures in the Men Dao."
"Now that I think about it, at the stage of Purple Tai Sui, these two treasures seem to have already merged?"
"..."
"Yes."
Miss White Wine slowly said, "But now, I still haven't figured out why."
"This world, compared to our previous life, has too many similarities. Even some of the unorthodox techniques in Men Dao conform to certain cognitions and rules. However, the deeper you research, the more it makes one feel a chill."
"Because you'll discover that everything we're familiar with is built upon a completely different fundamental logic from our previous life. The closer you get, the more perplexing it becomes..."
"..."
"Then let's go to the bridge!"
Listening to Miss White Wine's words, Hu Ma spoke softly, "Once you're on the bridge, you can see the scenery on the other shore."
"The further you walk on the bridge, the more secrets you'll uncover."
"..."
"Yes..."
Miss White Wine also fell silent for a long time before speaking softly, "It's time to go and see that legendary bridge."
"I think I've come into contact with some crucial things. If I don't go to the bridge, I won't truly understand."
He pondered for a moment, then remembered something, "What about you?"
"I'm also preparing to go to the bridge, and I'm ready to take that step at any time."
Hu Ma slowly said, "But before that, I need to return to Old Yin Mountain first, after all..."
"It's almost the Lunar New Year."
"..."
"Lunar New Year?"
Miss White Wine, who was currently feeling quite mentally exhausted, was surprised, "Is it the time to be thinking about the Lunar New Year?"
"It's mainly because there are many things that need to be figured out."
Hu Ma also smiled, then carefully said, "Miss White Wine, when we first met, it was also at Old Yin Mountain. You were preparing to go there to find something important."
"Later, I learned from Brother Two Pot Heads that what you were looking for was the same as him—the Yin-Yang Dual Scenery Plate from Fox Coffin Village, a treasure in the Ghost Passage."
"However, it's reasonable for Brother Two Pot Heads, who follows the Ghost Passage, to know about this object. But you..."
"..."
When he asked this question, he was very careful and measured.
The interactions and exchanges between Reincarnators were originally based on a sense of propriety. If there was an opportunity for collaboration, they would work together. If they could ask for a favor and help in return, they would do so. However, they would never pry into each other's secrets.
Miss White Wine paused for a moment, as if in deep contemplation, and then suddenly spoke, "Actually, what I was looking for at the time wasn't the Yin-Yang Dual Scenery Plate."
"What I wanted to find was something that was being suppressed by the Yin-Yang Dual Scenery Plate."
"But when I arrived at Fox Coffin Village and met Brother Two Pot Heads, I confirmed that it wasn't something I could get involved with at the time. So, I went along with Brother Two Pot Heads' words and pretended that I was also searching for it. I even brought back half of the Yin Plate."
"Of course, precisely because this wasn't what I truly desired, I later found an excuse to give it back to him."
"..."
"Indeed..."
Hearing Miss White Wine's response, Hu Ma was somewhat surprised.
"Then you..."
He asked subconsciously, then fearing he might offend this lady with her aloof demeanor, who usually kept people at a distance. He quickly stopped himself and explained in a low voice, "I didn't mean to pry into your secrets. It's just that Old Yin Mountain is too important to me."
"No harm."
Miss White Wine calmly replied, "The goals of Reincarnators will eventually become confused if they are aligned."
"The things you want to ask about are no longer significant to me now."
"What I was looking for when I entered Old Yin Mountain was actually the former Capital City Twelve Ghost Altars."
She slowly explained, "It is said that these Capital City Twelve Ghost Altars were originally used to suppress some bizarre phenomena of heaven and earth. Back then in the Capital City, we aimed for this very object."
"According to the information we gathered, this object was moved out of the Capital City about a decade ago. It was replaced by the Ten Surnames Ancestral Shrine, and after being relocated, it was hidden in Old Yin Mountain, never seeing the light of day again."
"At that time, Reincarnators dared not cross the bridge. To ensure their safety, they could only pretend to seek external help, and the most powerful external aid in the world was those Twelve Ghost Altars."
"All this intelligence was investigated by the leader of the Reincarnator organization we followed in the Capital City, a very powerful but mysterious person with the code name Daughter Red. She helped both Miss Red Wine and me."
"In fact, after learning about the previous generation of Reincarnators, I once believed she was the Connector..."
"She should be the bridge between the previous generation of Reincarnators and us."
"Unfortunately, she got into trouble early on, and until now, neither Miss Red Wine nor I have been able to gather any news about her."
"..."
"Are the Capital City Twelve Ghost Altars also in Old Yin Mountain?"
As Hu Ma listened to this news, his heart sank, and he could deduce even more from this information.
Were these Twelve Ghost Altars also in Fox Coffin Village, suppressed by the Yin-Yang Dual Scenery Plate at the time?
"Yes."
Miss White Wine slowly replied, "I did see the Twelve Ghost Altars that time."
"However, that object made me realize it was beyond my reach, so I only saved Brother Two Pot Heads."
"..."
"This was once a replacement for the Ancestral Altar..."
Hu Ma's mind was connecting more and more dots: "Moreover, from some things Brother Two Pot Heads mentioned unintentionally, I can tell that the disappearance of the Bridge Crossing Ghosts seems to be related to this object, and it is now within Old Yin Mountain..."
These revelations increasingly convinced Hu Ma that it was time to return to Old Yin Mountain.
Now that he had a firm grip on the Evil Suppression Bureau, crossing the bridge was just a thought away. With the Meng Family weakened, there was hope for avenging the blood feud and rescuing his grandmother.
The only thing left to trouble him was some of the secrets of the Propelling Evil Hu Family. He had a strong intuition that the Capital City Twelve Ghost Altars, which were closely related to the disappearance of the Bridge Crossing Ghosts, were the final piece of the puzzle.
Seeing Miss White Wine's openness, Hu Ma paused and said, "Thank you."
"Miss White Wine, what you've told me is very important to me."
"But since you've been so open with me, I should also share one of my secrets with you..."
"..."
He paused and spoke softly, "Actually, I am..."
Miss White Wine said, "A descendant of the Hu Family?"
"I know."
"The first time I met you, I guessed that Red Wine was being misled by me to think that way."
"..."
"Huh?"
Hu Ma's emotions were in disarray, "Another one who knows?"
"No!!!
Just as he thought of Miss Red Wine, Hu Ma suddenly realized something, and his scalp tingled, "She..."
"Does she really know?"
"..."
The next sentence almost slipped out, "Because I was entrusted by someone to protect you no matter what."
