The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing's ghostly shadow inadvertently spread out, touching the man's body.

[Gao Liang]

[Age: Fifteen]

[Lifespan: Seven years]

[Illness: Deformity, Hysteria]

Ren Qing stared at Gao Liang's illnesses, lingering on hysteria for a few breaths.

Seeing Ren Qing's silence, Gao Liang said with a chilling gaze, "You should be able to see it, Master is about to awaken..."

Ren Qing narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but ask, "What?"

"Jie jie jie jie..."

Gao Liang chuckled dryly, and just as he was about to say something, he saw firelight coming from within the town, and quickly flipped over and burrowed into the shadows.

"Come in quickly, the path to immortality is close at hand."

When he turned his head, his expression was exceptionally terrified, as if he had encountered a ferocious beast, completely opposite to the madness he had shown before.

Using his blurred vision, Ren Qing looked towards the end of the street and found someone holding a lantern for illumination, and judging from the sound of footsteps, there were at least seven or eight people.

He couldn't help but feel apprehensive, and the gaze secretly spying on him became a little sharp.

However, now that he had come to this place, he naturally couldn't retreat. Anyway, the life of a divided soul wasn't worth much, so it was worth taking some risks.

Ren Qing used his bamboo hat to cover his appearance again, preparing to enter the Unwept Town.

But as soon as he approached within a ten-meter range, he discovered that the Unwept Town was full of strangeness, even some inexplicable absurdity.

First of all, Ren Qing had never seen such a dilapidated town. Even Yellow Sand City was not as dirty and messy as Unwept Town.

Relying on the dim moonlight, he found piles of rotting garbage in the corners of the streets, and the residential houses were also extremely dilapidated.

Many walls had cracks of varying sizes, and he could even see the furnishings inside, as well as the residents who looked like mummified corpses.

Ren Qing felt that Unwept Town was more like a slum, and it was difficult to associate it with cultivation at all, let alone immortality.

He hesitated for a few breaths, then stepped on the gray bricks at the entrance and exit of the town.

Whoosh...

An arrow shot from a distance and stuck directly in front of Ren Qing's feet.

Those who were secretly spying on him were obviously preventing him from going to Unwept Town, but from the arrow shot from the bow, it could be seen that its strength was not much different from that of a normal person.

Ren Qing waited for a moment, and a team of officers and soldiers wearing chain armor ran towards him.

They were well-equipped, and their faces were covered with thick, pure black masks, which seemed to be filtering bacteria in the air in addition to concealing their identities.

The leading officer spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "Stop."

"I'm here to study medicine in Unwept Town."

"So it is,"

The officers looked at each other with complicated expressions, and then actually took the initiative to make way, allowing the other party to go to the center of the town.

Taking advantage of the dim light, Ren Qing's ghostly shadow silently touched the officers and soldiers, and the information flow appeared in front of him.

[Chen Lie]

[Illness: Cold Body]

...

[Jin Chengxiang]

[Illness: Dullness]

...

Ren Qing found that the officers and soldiers also had illnesses, but they were relatively minor.

He walked into the town without showing any signs, and the officers and soldiers looked at him strangely, as if they were looking at a beast throwing itself into a trap.

Soon the officers and soldiers disappeared, but the ghostly shadow was already hidden in their shadows.

Soon Ren Qing discovered that the officers and soldiers had almost completely surrounded Unwept Town, and many officers and soldiers holding bows and arrows were also hiding on the eaves.

They were more like preventing the sick people in the town from leaving.

From Gao Liang's terrified expression, it could be guessed that many people were usually killed, not like they were trying to keep them alive.

The two warriors that Ren Qing's divided soul encountered in the broken temple probably thought he was a patient who had escaped from the town, so they wanted to catch him and take him to the officers and soldiers for a reward.

He realized that there were still officers and soldiers following not far away, so he turned into the alley.

Ren Qing glanced at the slightly bright sky, put on a black veil with the help of the ghostly shadow, and soon disappeared into the maze of alleys.

A moment later, an officer with light footsteps came with a puzzled expression.

He kept looking around, trying to find the disappeared Ren Qing, and took out the long sword from his waist.

Just as the officer felt that there was nothing to be gained and was about to leave, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, and the bamboo hat on his head had been taken off.

He suddenly saw Ren Qing's appearance and was immediately frightened and his heart beat wildly.

"Damn it..."

The officer waved his long sword and wanted to attack Ren Qing, but suddenly tripped over something and staggered against the wall.

Ren Qing's double pupils on his forehead blinked, and the ghostly shadow directly covered the officer's body.

The officer trembled, wanting to struggle but unable to get rid of the ghostly shadow at all, and then felt sleepy and immediately fell asleep.

Although Ren Qing's main body was not there and he couldn't use the ability of the Dark Nightmare, it was still no problem to simply enter a dream.

"Why is Unwept Town blocked?"

The officer replied blankly, "Because the madness in the town is contagious..."

"What exactly is studying medicine?"

While Ren Qing was asking, he noticed that the officer's mask was a bit peculiar, so he took it off with the ghostly shadow, revealing a sleeping face behind it.

The mask was made of wood and filled with fiery red fluff.

It was somewhat like the doctor's mask in the Western Middle Ages. Because of the infectious disease, materials for filtering the air were placed in the breathing port.

The officer said in his sleep, "I don't know, I don't know, I... I..."

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

His face was exposed to the air, and fine beads of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, and his expression gradually became distorted.

At this moment, the morning sun slowly rose.

Ren Qing barely maintained the state of night travel, but it was estimated that it would not last long.

Thick black smoke rose from the center of the town, and the unpleasant burnt smell became more and more intense, and the officer trembled even more after inhaling it.

Unwept Town became lively, and a large number of figures walked out of the dilapidated houses.

They had deliberately dressed up and wore clean clothes, with expressions like pilgrims, which were out of tune with the dirty and messy environment.

Ren Qing narrowed his eyes.

As the light was sufficient, this body of his noticed the direction of the black smoke, and there stood a statue seven or eight meters high.

It was the Longevity Immortal among the Three Immortals of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity, and the iconic tumor on his forehead was fleshy, constantly wriggling like a heart.

Ren Qing looked at the Longevity Immortal statue.

The outermost people knelt on the ground, and those in the middle bowed their heads and stood.

The innermost layer stared at the Longevity Immortal statue, asking respectfully, as if they were communicating with each other.

But what was proportional to the position was that the closer people were to the statue, the more serious their illness became, and even their breath was dying.

The officer beside Ren Qing suddenly returned to normal and looked up at the statue.

"So there really are immortals, there really is longevity."

He burst into tears and knelt on the ground, constantly kowtowing his head on the ground, and blood soaked the chest of his clothes along his cheeks.

"What the hell?"

Ren Qing checked the officer with the information flow.

[Chen An]

[Illness: Weak Qi, Hysteria]

He raised his eyebrows, the officer had not shown hysteria before.

"Could it be..."

Ren Qing had a bold guess in his heart, and then actively closed the dream seeds of the double pupils on his forehead, so that it would no longer protect the divided soul.

The burnt smell actually turned into a strong medicinal fragrance, which made people want to stop.

Ren Qing felt his throat was a little dry, and he had a strong desire for the medicinal fragrance, and the weakness of his body disappeared with every breath.

He quickly called out his own information flow.

[Ren Qing]

[Lifespan: Five years, ten months, and two days]

[Illness: Weakness, Deformity, Hysteria]

The word hysteria in the information flow was a bit blurred, as if it would disappear at any time, indicating that he was not completely suffering from this stubborn disease.

Ren Qing looked at the Longevity Immortal statue, the latter exuded an invisible aura, which could turn the surrounding crowd into hysteria patients.

The officers and soldiers used masks to block the aura, while Ren Qing had previously used dream seeds to isolate it.

At this time, the Longevity Immortal statue in Ren Qing's eyes was completely different, and he couldn't see any falsehood at all, like a real immortal god.

The Longevity Immortal told mysterious words, as if awakening everyone.

And in Ren Qing's eyes, those patients, under the influence of hysteria, were ethereal like immortals one by one.

Ren Qing pointed his right index finger at the center of his eyebrows, and the dream seed double pupils opened again.

The medicinal fragrance also disappeared, leaving only the burnt smell permeating the air, and the patients returned to their dying state.

"Is the so-called cultivation actually hysteria?"

"Then where is longevity?"

I'm stuck, it's killing me, let's have one update today, and resume tomorrow, sorry for the officials
