Chapter 1655: Chapter 1498: Yin Yang Inn 54
Yun Qing had devoted himself to the Dao since childhood, practicing Spell day after day, hardly ever stepping outside, whereas his senior brother Yun Lin was different. He had always yearned for the world beyond and was unwilling to stay in Yunxi Temple his whole life guarding a single Evil Sealing Tower.
When Yun Qing was twelve, Yun Lin finally couldn’t hold back and secretly left Yunxi Temple, rushing toward the boundless Red Dust he longed for, that gaudy, glittering world.
After Master Zhi Xing discovered that his eldest disciple had secretly gone down the mountain, he only let out a sigh, said nothing, and didn’t send anyone to bring Yun Lin back, tacitly allowing Yun Lin to leave Yunxi Temple.
After that, the days at Yunxi Temple flowed as bland as water. Even though one person was gone, life went on as usual. Just when Yun Qing thought these days could continue like this forever, Yun Lin, who had gone down the mountain, returned.
According to the rules of Yunxi Temple, disciples must not leave unless absolutely necessary, and even if they leave, they must return in the shortest time possible. If they leave on their own, it counts as being expelled from Yunxi Temple and they are never allowed to come back.
But Yun Lin knelt at the mountain gate, begging bitterly for Master Zhi Xing to take him back into Yunxi Temple, and Master Zhi Xing had always raised his two disciples like his own sons.
Worn down by Yun Lin’s desperate pleading, Master Zhi Xing eventually softened and took Yun Lin back into Yunxi Temple, never imagining this would draw a calamity of annihilation down upon Yunxi Temple!
No one knew that after leaving Yunxi Temple, Yun Lin had stepped onto the Evil Path and become an Evil Taoist. His return this time was anything but well-intentioned.
Yun Lin had come to open the Evil Sealing Tower and release the Evil Ghost imprisoned within, because after cultivating the Evil Path he could form contracts with Evil Ghost and drive them to serve him.
Yun Lin relied on driving Evil Ghost to carve out a thriving life in the outside world, but gradually he grew dissatisfied, feeling that all the Evil Ghost under his control were too weak and incapable of accomplishing many things.
At first, although Yun Lin resented the weakness of his Evil Ghost, he only roamed around on his own seeking more powerful Evil Ghost.
But Evil Ghost were not so easy to find. Those Yun Lin managed to catch were not to his liking, and the stronger Evil Ghost he simply couldn’t locate.
On top of that, cultivating the Evil Path erodes and twists a person’s temperament; Yun Lin’s temper grew more and more violent.
Over these years he harmed many people, making them, at the slightest disagreement, live in torment unable to live or die, actually becoming a perverse killer.
During this period, because he couldn’t find Evil Ghost that suited him, Yun Lin’s temper grew ever worse, and he became increasingly impatient with searching everywhere for usable Evil Ghost.
In that mindset, Yun Lin thought of the Evil Sealing Tower at Yunxi Temple, thought of the countless Evil Ghost within. At the beginning he only entertained the idea.
Though his personality had turned gloomy, brutal, and bloodthirsty due to the Evil Path, he was not stupid.
Yun Lin knew the Evil Ghost suppressed by the Evil Sealing Tower would not be easy to subdue. After such long suppression, the Evil Ghost inside were not comparable to those outside.
Even though he arrogantly believed his methods of dealing with Evil Ghost were formidable, he only dared imagine handling seven or eight Evil Ghost at most, and the Evil Ghost suppressed inside the Evil Sealing Tower would definitely not number only seven or eight.
Yun Lin didn’t want to be bitten back by the Evil Ghost, so again and again he forced down the greed in his heart. But the seed of greed had already broken ground; as his ambition grew it was watered day by day, and in the end it would grow into a towering tree.
Finally, after endlessly failing to find Evil Ghost to his liking, Yun Lin still turned his thoughts back to the Evil Sealing Tower of Yunxi Temple, and on top of that, he came up with a vicious plan.
He deliberately procured a formidable, near-perfect Magic Treasure that could conceal his aura. After softening Master Zhi Xing and being taken back into Yunxi Temple, that very night Yun Lin went to open the Evil Sealing Tower.
Afterward, Yun Lin hid inside the aura-concealing Magic Treasure, lying quietly in wait. Once the Evil Sealing Tower was opened and the Evil Ghost rushed out, they would naturally alarm everyone in Yunxi Temple.
Because Yun Lin was hiding in the Magic Treasure, no one in the temple discovered him. And with the Evil Ghost breaking free of the Evil Sealing Tower, in the life-and-death urgency they had no attention to spare for anything but fighting the Evil Ghost, with no time to think deeper.
Yun Lin, hiding inside the Magic Treasure, took advantage of the chaos to collect a few Evil Ghost for his own use and then escaped in the confusion. Yun Lin fled, but the disaster he had unleashed was left for the people of Yunxi Temple to handle.
The Evil Ghost sealed in the Evil Sealing Tower were too numerous. The people in Yunxi Temple had to both stop the Evil Ghost from leaving Yunxi Temple to wreak havoc among the common people, and fight the Evil Ghost, so naturally they were overwhelmed and unable to cope.
Although Yunxi Temple had over twenty Taoist, only Master Zhi Xing, Yun Qing’s master, and Yun Qing himself possessed the strongest combat power, plus Yun Lin, who had cultivated the Evil Path.
The others’ cultivation was only average, and relying on just Yun Qing and Master Zhi Xing alone, they could not possibly turn the tide and reseal these Evil Ghost.
Not to mention that the Evil Sealing Tower had already been shattered when Yun Lin released the Evil Ghost, so they had no way to seal these escaped Evil Ghost.
Yun Qing could only watch as the many senior and junior brothers and elder uncles he regarded as family died one by one before his eyes, and he was powerless to save them.
Very soon, even Master Zhi Xing had his heart torn out by an Evil Ghost and fell to the ground, leaving only Yun Qing struggling on alone, and even he could not hold out much longer.
Everyone in Yunxi Temple were Cultivator. Though their bodies had died, their spirit remained, but in life they were Cultivator, and in death their spirit were only ordinary spirit, not fierce ghost, and were fundamentally unable to help Yun Qing.
Seeing that Yun Qing was about to be unable to hold on, the people of Yunxi Temple made a tragic, heroic decision. They asked Yun Qing to turn them into zombies, so they could continue to fight the many malignant entities.
Ordinarily, the appearance of zombies is not an easy affair; you must have a Corpse Nourishing Land and sufficient time. But now it was different, because of these Evil Ghost and the terrifyingly dense Yin Qi surging from the broken Evil Sealing Tower.
As long as Yun Qing slightly guided with talisman, directing this Yin Qi into everyone’s corpses, combined with the cooperation of their spirit, they could all immediately become zombies, and indeed High-level Zombie.
Yun Qing was unwilling at first, but under everyone’s persuasion, in order to keep the Evil Ghost from escaping into the Mortal World to devastate all living beings, Yun Qing endured the anguish and turned everyone into zombies.
After becoming High-level Zombie, the people of Yunxi Temple only barely managed to fight the Evil Ghost to a draw.
In the end, after a bitter, grueling battle, the people of Yunxi Temple and the malignant entities were sealed together into the remnant Sealing Array of the Evil Sealing Tower.
Zombies do not enter reincarnation, and creating zombies is a crime of great evil, tantamount to stripping humans of their chance at reincarnation.
Doing this is an enormous sin, heavier even than the crime of killing. Because of this, Yun Qing was marked by the Underworld and became a major criminal of the Underworld.
The reason Yun Qing came to the Yin Yang Inn to turn himself in and seek out Qi Shuangshuang was precisely in the hope that Qi Shuangshuang would take action, helping his master, his elder uncles, and his senior and junior brothers gain release.
To let them reincarnate would be best; if they cannot reincarnate, then at least to separate them from those Evil Ghost.
