112, Another Ancestor
Everything in front of me is dark, and my primordial spirit is sleeping in the sea of recognition in the elixir field. Mimi vaguely heard some sounds.
"Ah Ling, this little girl really has your spiritual root?" This was a man's voice, low and clear, very pleasant to listen to, and he sounded quite young.
"You've seen it yourself, why are you still asking me?" This voice was a bit sharper and seemed to belong to a slightly younger man, who sounded somewhat impatient.
Upon hearing this sentence, the person from before said: "I was just asking..."
The man called "A Ling" hummed a sound, and then, Mo Tian Ge felt a surge of powerful energy rushing into his meridians.
She couldn't help but let out a low moan, not because of the pain, but because of the numbness. This power was extremely strong, rushing into her meridians, and she felt that control over her meridians no longer belonged to herself. However, this warm and gentle power also made her feel very comfortable.
"She has a yin body and a pure spiritual root. Alas, I don't know whether to say she's lucky or unlucky." Ah-Ling muttered under her breath.
"What is good luck, what is bad luck?" The man asked curiously earlier.
"Ailing replied, 'The way to cultivate the Hunyuan Linggen. You should know that the two characters "Hun" and "Yuan" mean treating the entire body as a universe, with the five elements generating and balancing yin and yang, thus giving birth to life without cease. However, for people with a purely yin constitution, their bodies have yin but no yang. Solitary yin cannot last, and solitary yang cannot give birth!'"
"So, this little girl's Hunyuan spiritual root is of no benefit at all?"
"This is not necessarily the case, it's just pure yin, which also has five elements. She can first cultivate the balance of the five elements in pure yin and then consider other things."
"Oh? You want to pass on her Hunyuan Gongfa?"
"She is both my blood relative and junior, I should take care of her in the first place. Moreover, she has my Hunyuan Linggen, how can I ignore her?"
"Hmph, I'm afraid it's still because of that charming and unparalleled Miss Yaoqin?"
After hearing such sour words, Ah Ling suddenly became furious: "Others at least left me with my bloodline, can you give me children? If you can give birth to children for me, I will immediately throw this girl out!"
"Hey," the man pleaded, "I'm just talking casually, don't get angry..."
"Hmm!"
After a while, Ah Ling said: "Her foundation is quite good, it's a pity to give up. If she were to switch to my Taiyuan Record now, it would be difficult to achieve the desired effect... Alas, if she were to practice with a pure yang-bodied man, it would be possible to artificially create a balance of yin and yang..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man immediately shouted: "Don't look at me! In those days, I didn't even look up to your Yāo Qīng girl, let alone this stinky little maid! Besides, who knows how many generations younger than you this little maid is... This is too outrageous!"
"Get out! Do you think that apart from you, there's no one else with a pure yang physique? What kind of dirty things are you thinking in your head?"
Then there was a loud noise like opening mountains and splitting rocks, Mo Tian Ge wanted to wake up, but her primordial spirit seemed to be extremely tired, not only did she have no reaction at all, but her remaining consciousness was also blurry, and she finally fell asleep again.
When she truly came to, Meng Tian Ge suddenly sat up.
Before my eyes is a small wooden house, with wooden bed, wooden cupboard, bamboo chair and bamboo cup. However, I don't know what kind of spiritual being it is, but it's full of spiritual energy, almost visible to the naked eye! Moreover, the surrounding spiritual energy is several times thicker than that of Taikang Mountain's Dongfu - what place is this?
She looked down and saw that she was fine, even the burns on her back from fighting the demon beast didn't hurt anymore. The spiritual energy inside her not only recovered but seemed to have increased a bit.
She suddenly remembered the two voices she heard when she was dizzy.
"Ah Ling", "Hun Yuan Ling Gen", "Yao Qing", "Later Generation"! These words linked together, the answer is forthcoming.
Another ancestor spoken by Mo Jia's ancestor Mo Yaoqing!
Mò Tiān Gē supported his head, suspecting that it was just a dream of his own. Mò Yáo Qīng had said before that she was a person from several thousand years ago, and finally died of old age. Mò Yáo Qīng himself was a Yuányīng cultivator, so these two people were also Yuányīng cultivators, it's absolutely impossible for them to have lived several thousand years longer than Mò Yáo Qīng!
Or—is it a ghost? Or an existence unknown to anyone?
She patted her forehead, got down from the G (bed), pushed open the door and slowly walked out of the small room.
In the distance, the green hills are like a beauty mark, nearby the fields of medicine are fragrant, several wooden houses, a curved pool of water, two men - a picturesque beautiful scene.
She was still in a daze when the two men sitting under the tree playing chess turned their heads around.
"Little girl, wake up? Come sit here!"
The stranger looked back and saw a man wearing a Taoist robe, with a handsome face and eyebrows, holding a chess piece and smiling. The young man sitting opposite him was also a young man, only looking younger, with a face that still retained the clarity of his youth, elegant and refined.
She glanced over, and felt that these two people were as deep as the sea, with a momentum that was not released. She couldn't see what level of cultivation they had reached at all. However, this kind of aura must be from a senior expert. At this moment, she didn't dare to be presumptuous, so she walked up in an orderly manner and paid her respects: "Junior Mo Tian Ge has seen the two seniors."
"Song of the Wild Sky?" The man who spoke earlier turned his head, looking at the young man opposite him. "Indeed surnamed Mo, it seems you are undoubtedly a junior of that Yaoqin maiden!"
Having heard the conversation between the two, Mo Tian Ge immediately knew that the conversation he had overheard earlier was not a dream. He looked at another young man - this person, could it be that "A Ling", the other ancestor mentioned by Mo Yao Qing?
The young man gazed thoughtfully at her for a while before finally speaking: "Young one, tell me about your origins and background."
Mó Tiān Gē heard his voice, and it was indeed the same as "ā Líng". Her mind flashed with too many thoughts for a moment, but she only thought for an instant before saying: "My junior ancestor, there is one person named Yáo Qīn. I dare ask, sir, are you...are you my other ancestor?"
The two of them exchanged a glance, and the young man said in a low voice: "As soon as you entered the Illusory Heaven Array, I knew that you were my descendant without a doubt. If you have an ancestor named Mo Yaqing, then it's correct."
Certain of what he had heard, Mo Tian Ge's expression changed, and he immediately knelt down: "Mo Tian Ge has met the ancestors before, but as a junior, I didn't know and couldn't pay my respects. Please forgive me, Ancestor. May I ask what your name is?"
The young man flashed a faint smile, and with a light wave of his sleeve, a powerful force lifted her up: "My name is Zhong Muling, my Taoist name is Chi Ling. I am your ancestor. Receiving this bow from you makes me feel no shame. However, I have never doted on you, so you don't need to be so polite."
Zhong Muling said, the man opposite him smiled and said: "The little girl is quite polite."
"May I ask how this senior is addressed?"
The man replied: "My name is Yuan Bao, you can call me by my full name, but whatever you do, don't call me Elder Yuan."
"It turned out to be Yuan Bao senior. Since Senior is a close relative of my great-grandfather, then you are my elder." He bowed deeply.
She was pleased with his behavior and smiled: "Alright, you are a descendant of Ah Ling, you will have your own advantages, no need to be so polite, sit down."
Mo Tian Ge turned towards Zhong Mu Ling, saw that Zhong Mu Ling slightly nodded, and then sat down on another stone bench.
At this moment, she had an astonishing idea in her mind, and this idea was mostly true - Mo Yaoqin's Yuanying cultivation had already been seated thousands of years ago, these two people were from the same period, but lived until now, mostly cultivating above Yuanying. That is... the Nascent Soul stage!
Yu Bao gazed at her and smiled slyly to Zhong Muling, saying: "This little girl is clever, it seems she already knows our cultivation methods."
Zhong Muling nodded in satisfaction, "After all, you're my junior, how can you be too foolish? Young girl, I've been away from the world for many years and occasionally return. I happen to know that you now have a village called Mo Jia Village, but you were too young last time and I didn't see you. I didn't expect that in these decades there would be a descendant with spiritual roots who has also embarked on the path of cultivation. Are you over twenty now? Looking at your clothes, it seems like you've entered the Xuan Qing Sect?"
"Has our ancestor been watching over the Mo family all along?" Mo Tian Ge's mind flashed, and he carefully replied: "Reporting to High Ancestor, I am now twenty-four years old, indeed a disciple of the Xuan Qing Sect."
"Hmm. Is this secret passed down from Mo Yaqing? Tell me, how did you exactly step onto the path of immortality?"
Listening to Zhong Muling's words, Mo Tian Ge felt a bit strange. According to his conversation with Yuan Bao, and the words that Mo Yao Qing had left in her mind years ago. The two of them should have been husband and wife, so why did they mention Mo Yao Qing so lightly, as if there was no affection between them?
She didn't ask that question, but instead replied: "Yes, when I was young, I inadvertently entered a strange family's ancestral hall, triggered the seal, and obtained the inheritance of **..."
Started practicing Taoism at the age of seven, was deceived, went to Kunwu, followed Second Uncle Liu Lang, entered Yunwu Sect, then Second Uncle passed away, went to Xuanqing Gate, built foundation, demon beast chaos... all told in detail.
When she finally finished talking about these things, Zhong Muling and Yuan Bao both had a solemn expression.
"I am a descendant of Zhong Muling, how can I be bullied by others!" After a long time, Zhong Muling said this sentence, turned to Mo Tian Ge, "Take out that Yu pendant that conceals your physical body."
Mo Tian Ge responded with a sound, stretched out his hand and touched the jade pendant at his neck, took it off and handed it over.
"Hmm, this is indeed a fine Lingpai pendant." Yuanbao said in surprise.
Zhong Muling nodded: "A Jiedan cultivator, able to refine such a treasure, is indeed not easy - I was thinking of that little guy who got trapped in the Fantian Array the other day."
"...... Right, that person is also wearing the uniform of the Xuanqing Gate. It seems that it's probably Qin Shoujing himself. 140 years old and already in the middle stage of forming a dan, I was able to form a dan within 100 years back then, but my innate talent is far superior to his."
Zhong Muling said, "He is different from you, that kid has a Yang Spirit Pearl in his body, and in this Illusory Heaven Array, he is not affected at all. It can be seen that his willpower is firm. If his cultivation speed is not fast, then there's no justice in the world - Yang Spirit Pearl!"
Suddenly changing the subject, Zhong Muling looked at Yuan Bao, both of them had a deep thinking expression.
Mo Tian Ge still couldn't grasp the meaning behind their words, but hearing them speak seemed to have seen Shou Jing Shi Shu before. He carefully asked: "High Ancestor, Yuan Bao senior, have you two seen Shou Jing Shi Shu? Is he doing well?"
Zhong Muling turned his head and nodded to her: "That young man should be the Shou Jing Shifu you mentioned, about half a month ago, he inadvertently broke into the Xuan Tian Formation, with injuries on his body, but a few days ago he had already recovered from his injuries and left." Saying this, he was somewhat indignant, "Actually treating the Xuan Tian Formation as a place to recover from injuries, humph!"
Yu Bao smiled and said, "That's also because he has a big heart, and he's certain that we don't have any malicious intentions."
Shou Jing Shifu indeed had nothing to do with it. Mo Tian Ge hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Then, is there a young man by his side who looks somewhat like him, around twenty years old, in the initial stage of building his foundation?"
"This is not it." Zhong Muling shook his head without hesitation, "Alright, you go and bring out your **secret first, let me take a look. This Cang Ling Pei will also stay with me for now, I'll see if I can re-refine it."
