Where does the wind blow from?
To wander amidst the flowers in search of the secluded.
After traversing a particularly rugged mountain path, Chen Qing stepped over the orchids, entering a serene place filled with green bamboo.
Flowers bloomed everywhere, green grass thrived, surrounded by green plums and bamboo, was the dwelling of an evil ghost.
However, Yin Shu Niang did not reside in a place filled with blood but rather chose a remarkably beautiful spot.
Perhaps because this place was a cemetery.
After all, people had the habit of planting greenery on their family graves.
Chen Qing approached and knocked on an unmarked stone tablet. After a short while, Yin Shu Niang pushed it open, and seeing Chen Qing, she was startled.
“Mountain God, do you have any business?”
Chen Qing smiled calmly, “Nothing in particular, just came to chat with you.”
Although she was extremely beautiful, she noticed that Chen Qing did not have any lustful glare in his eyes, only purity and clarity.
“Then do come in, Mountain God.”
Inside the burial chamber, there was indeed another world, with flowers and vines forming a bed.
Yin Shu Niang led Chen Qing to sit on a stone bench, then said, “Please wait here for a moment, Mountain God, I will make tea for you.”
Despite the fragrant floral tea, Chen Qing's thoughts were elsewhere, “Tell me specifically, how do you see me?”
Yin Shu Niang looked closely at Chen Qing and found him unexpectedly majestic.
“On your body, Mountain God, there are many mysterious threads connecting to this land. As soon as you come near me, Mountain God, one thread connects to me.”
“I feel an overwhelming pressure that makes it hard to breathe. It seems that with a gentle press, I would turn into smoke.”
“Beyond that, I cannot see.”
Chen Qing felt a slight disappointment.
At this moment, Yin Shu Niang added, “However, I know of a Foundation Establishment ghost cultivator not far from here, named Xu Ye. Possibly, his cultivation might be higher and could see more.”
Chen Qing was immediately delighted, as ghost cultivators to him were utterly manageable.
Not to mention he could wipe them out with a thought, even in a real fight, the outcome was uncertain.
As for leaving safely, it was no problem at all.
“Go, summon him to pay respects to me!”
Given his current status, it was natural that he wouldn't visit but should have others come to pay respects.
Yin Shu Niang immediately took the order and left, leaving Chen Qing alone in this tranquil burial chamber.
A day later, Yin Shu Niang brought Xu Ye and a slew of evil ghosts towards her dwelling, and the closer they got, the more Xu Ye felt his scalp tingle.
How could a Mountain God appear?
Ghosts feared those who controlled the world, as they were part of the earth.
Mountain ghosts, that's who they were.
Initially thinking Yin Shu Niang was joking, but upon approaching, he noticed something different. Just by nearing the place, he felt slightly out of control.
A peculiar power enveloped him, as if it could extinguish him at will.
At the first sight of Chen Qing, Xu Ye immediately kowtowed, “Xu Ye pays respects to the Yinsi!”
Chen Qing, however, did not allow him to rise, only asked, “Why do you call me Yinsi?”
Xu Ye said, “Lord Yinsi can control our lives at will, and there is Black and White Qi, Impermanence Power, emanating from you.”
“Apart from these, there is also Xuanhuang Qi.”
Chen Qing's interest piqued, sipping the floral tea, “Continue, describe what you see of me in detail.”
“Do not exaggerate, if there's a single falsehood, your Divine Soul will be obliterated!”
Xu Ye trembled all over, looking carefully at Chen Qing, becoming more frightened the more he looked, “On Lord Yinsi, I seem to see a phantom.”
“Just a feeling, not actually seeing it.”
“It should be a certain god, and the lord possesses part of this god's power.”
Xu Ye at this moment understood something, realizing what Chen Qing truly wanted.
He must have acquired strength but didn't know what it was.
This sort of person was more troublesome than real Yinsi.
Real Yinsi followed rules, but someone like Chen Qing could annihilate you effortlessly without any reason or justice.
“In my perception, you are more terrifying than those real Yinsi.”
“Real Yinsi gain some borrowed power through treasures or official titles.”
“But you're different. This power comes from within you, not borrowed from any god.”
Chen Qing asked, “Anything more?”
Xu Ye shook his head.
Chen Qing pondered slightly. Where he was, All Things Grow, leading to the flowers and plants here flourishing vibrantly.
Lush green.
The earth nurtures all things, then gathers the souls back into the earth.
Ghosts also belonged to the earth, hence he had the power to control them.
Born of the earth, nurtured by the earth, buried in the earth.
Life and death both lay upon the earth, hence a cycle of reincarnation.
Chen Qing fell into contemplation, unconsciously entering an Enlightenment state.
After a quarter of an hour, his eyes gradually cleared.
It seemed his Light Gu Harmonization was strongly related to the Life and Death Reincarnation.
He gained some insights.
“I heard you have a ghost market; could you take me there for a look?”
Xu Ye thought inwardly, “Brothers, it's not that I want to invite the wolf into the house, but I'm forced to bow to authority.”
“Yes, though we call it the Floor Market.”
Chen Qing immediately rose, “Take me there.”
Following Xu Ye for two days, they arrived at an underground yin river, where in the cave, there stood various pavilions of different styles, all hanging with white lanterns.
