119: What are you thinking about while waiting for you to take over my body?
Not long after.
Xie Weilou returned to the Zhenxi Marquis Manor.
“Greetings, Young Master.”
The guards and maids in the courtyard quickly bowed upon seeing Xie Weilou.
Xie Weilou glanced around and asked, “Where is my second uncle?”
A guard quickly replied, “The Marquis went to the Old Residence.”
The bodies of Xie Wushang and Xie Wuji were at the Old Residence, and the funeral would be held there.
Xie Weilou then asked, “When will my two brothers be buried?”
“This…”
The guard looked hesitant and dared not say more.
Generally speaking, they would naturally be buried after the first seven days. Since the first seven days had not passed yet, they definitely wouldn't be buried.
However, Xie Wushang and Xie Wuji died one after another, so it was estimated that they would wait until after Xie Wushang's first seven days, then bury Xie Wuji with him.
“Forget it!”
Xie Weilou waved his hand and walked towards his own pavilion.
The guards and maids watched Xie Weilou's retreating figure, their expressions somewhat strange. They found Xie Weilou inexplicably eerie.
Ever since Xie Weilou was released from prison, major events had continuously occurred in the Marquis Manor.
First, Xie Wushang died, and then Xie Wuji. Yet, Xie Weilou remained completely unharmed, which was truly bizarre.
Inside the pavilion.
Xie Weilou sat on the bed, muttering to himself, “Today I asked Lin Qinghuang about the Demon Hand. With that woman's intelligence, she'll definitely think of a lot…”
Then he thought of the assassination attempt he encountered tonight at the Changsun family's residence.
The suspects Yan Junlin and Yan Wuhai could basically be ruled out, but one person had a very high suspicion: Yan Ruyu.
That woman Yan Ruyu was close to Yan Junlin, so she must know about the hidden lines Yan Junlin placed in Wuya Pavilion. Since Yan Junlin could place them, she naturally could too.
If she was setting up a scheme, there would naturally be many benefits: it could make Xie Weilou hate Yan Wuhai, deepen the conflict between Yan Junlin and Yan Wuhai, and also allow Yan Wuhai to eradicate Yan Junlin's hidden lines in Wuya Pavilion.
However, this would lead to two problems. The first problem: when Yan Wuhai eradicates the hidden lines in Wuya Pavilion, he might not only eradicate Yan Junlin's hidden lines, but also her, Yan Ruyu's, hidden lines.
The second problem: she might be suspected by Yan Junlin.
In that case, everything she did would naturally be worthless. So, would she still be the schemer?
Yan Ruyu was suspicious, but she could also be ruled out, leaving only a few people.
“Little lamb!”
A sneer appeared on Xie Weilou's face.
He casually took out a book, the Restriction classic that Luo Yunxiao had given him earlier. He opened the classic and read it carefully.
“Boy, as long as you let me go, if you want to learn Restriction, I can teach you.”
Inside the ten thousand souls banner, a hoarse voice transmitted into Xie Weilou's mind. That old fellow was very tenacious and had strong soul power; he had not yet been refined.
However, once he entered the ten thousand souls banner, he couldn't cause much trouble and would eventually become a part of the ten thousand souls banner.
The ten thousand souls banner was a great killing weapon. Once the soul bodies that entered the ten thousand souls banner were refined, they would become the banner spirits of the ten thousand souls banner, thus being used by the controller.
The ten thousand souls banner could gather thousands of ghosts within it. The more soul bodies there were, the stronger the ten thousand souls banner became. When it was unleashed, thousands of ghosts would rush out, possessing immense power.
However, Xie Weilou discovered that the ten thousand souls banner his third uncle gave him had no extra soul bodies inside. It was estimated that those soul bodies had already been annihilated, and now there was only one old fellow inside.
Xie Weilou said indifferently, “Old thing, your soul power is strong. If I let you out, you'll try to seize my body? What are you thinking?”
It seemed that after reading so many fantasy and immortal hero novels, he knew with his toes what those old monsters' soul bodies were plotting.
“You…”
Long Lao's tone faltered. Just as Xie Weilou expected, he indeed desperately wanted to seize control of this body.
He had poured all his efforts into cultivating Yan Wugou, wasn't it because he coveted Yan Wugou's extremely resilient body?
Did he really think he was some kind old man?
He had originally planned to wait until Yan Wugou entered the Dao Repository Realm before attempting the body seizure, but he never expected to fall into Xie Weilou's hands prematurely.
This kid Xie Weilou, playing the pig to eat the tiger, was actually hiding so deeply.
Moreover, this kid's guard was very strong, not at all like a young person, but more like an old fellow who had lived for a long time.
This shocked him, making him wonder if Xie Weilou had been seized by another old fellow!
Otherwise, how could this kid control the ten thousand souls banner, and how could he control that strange Demon Hand?
Yan Wugou was also a guy who played the pig to eat the tiger, but in front of Xie Weilou, he was simply not enough.
Xie Weilou sneered, “Old fellow, once you are refined by the ten thousand souls banner, everything you have will be mine.”
Once the other party became part of the ten thousand souls banner, he could completely start from the other party's soul, and he would definitely get some good things.
“Boy, if I am not refined, you will get more benefits. If I am refined by the ten thousand souls banner, my soul memories will also become extremely incomplete. What can you get then?”
Long Lao said in a deep voice.
“Haha!”
Xie Weilou's expression was mocking. With a thought, the refining power of the ten thousand souls banner instantly increased tenfold.
Grandpa possessing him?
Did you really think everyone was Medicine Lord?
This old fellow's danger level was too high. It was safest to let the other party completely become a part of the ten thousand souls banner.
“Ah…”
Long Lao's shrill scream echoed. He never expected Xie Weilou to be so unyielding, completely ignoring conventional tactics.
Half an hour later.
Xie Weilou finished reading the classic.
According to the classic, Restriction Masters were divided into nine ranks.
Luo Yunxiao, as the number one Restriction Master in Tianqi City, was a sixth-rank.
This classic was compiled by her. Even if one learned everything in it, they could only reach the fifth-rank. Clearly, she had hidden a lot and did not include everything she knew in the book.
Xie Weilou closed his eyes and looked inward at the Heavenly Book in his dantian. A mysterious power surged towards the Heavenly Book.
Buzz!
The Heavenly Book instantly vibrated, and dense golden runes appeared on it. These runes were precisely the content from the Restriction classic he had just read.
The Heavenly Book had an incredible ability: it could deduce cultivation techniques.
If it could deduce cultivation techniques, it naturally could also deduce Restriction incantations.
A moment later.
The golden runes floated up, constantly flickering. A portion of them was eliminated, leaving only a part. The remaining runes, under the Heavenly Book's deduction, began to derive more runes.
Extracting the essence, discarding the dross, and then deducing even more extraordinary content from the essence – this was the terrifying aspect of the Heavenly Book.
This classic only involved the content of a fifth-rank Restriction Master, but with the Heavenly Book's deduction, it might be able to advance further.
As the runes were deduced to their extreme, they finally condensed into a human figure. This figure was meticulously engraving Restriction.
Each time the figure engraved, a mysterious imprint would be added to the depths of Xie Weilou's soul.
Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times.
The figure's engraving speed became faster and faster. Restriction continuously appeared, and within the heavens and earth, runes outlined, extremely profound.
Finally, this human figure and numerous Restriction runes simultaneously surged into Xie Weilou's mind, imprinting themselves deep within his soul…
