I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2309
Chapter 2309: Chapter 2308: The Secret of the Talisman Seal, the Arrival of New Students
Regarding Lu Xiong’s question, Shangguan Ya explained.
“The Ghost God’s Despise is a kind of curse.”
“After the Spirit Clan members pass away, whether they cultivate ghosts or gods, especially the powerful ones, they don’t want anyone to disturb their peace.”
“So they set up seals in their tombs,” Shangguan Ya said.
“These seals are specifically arranged to prevent grave robbing.”
At this point, Shangguan Ya and Lu Xiong suddenly reacted, looking at Liu Jin peculiarly.
Liu Jin had been in the Historiography Hall from a long time ago.
At the time, Shangguan Ya and Lu Xiong had not arrived yet; it could be said that Liu Jin was among the first batch of people there.
Later, after the two of them came, the three began to get accustomed to each other.
After all, it’s not easy to find a common hobby.
Among the three, only Shangguan Ya genuinely loved those books, getting lost in their stories.
Lu Xiong, on the other hand, was looking for a way to break through his limits.
After all, someone did it before, so he wanted to see if there were such precedents.
Whereas Liu Jin wanted to find a way to cure the Ghost God’s Despise.
Upon hearing Shangguan Ya’s explanation, Liu Jin didn’t hide anything.
He said, “That’s right; this old man indeed used to be a tomb raider.”
“And specialized in robbing the tombs of Ghost Gods.”
“In our line of work, the risks are high, and many people have had accidents.”
“I thought I had long come to terms with life and death.”
“But until this curse of Ghost God’s Despise eroded me.”
“Every night, it flares up once, leaving me neither able to live nor die.”
“I’ve contemplated suicide countless times, but ultimately couldn’t let go of the hope of life.”
Liu Jin deeply bowed to Xu Zimei.
He said, “In my lifetime, I’ve met many significant figures and robbed many powerful Ghost God tombs.”
“But someone like you, sir, I am seeing for the first time.”
“I know you have the ability to Pierce the Heavens, so I hope you can guide me out of this maze.”
Xu Zimei squinted slightly as he looked at him.
After a moment, he chuckled lightly.
He said, “Resolving the Ghost God’s Despise is both simple and difficult at the same time, depending on whether you have the capability.”
“Please guide me, sir,” Liu Jin immediately said.
Knowing that Xu Zimei had the solution was the best news.
No matter how hard it is, as long as there is a resolution, it’s fine.
He feared most of all taking countless wrong paths in life, ultimately gaining nothing.
“The Ghost God’s Despise originates from the Ghost God; if you want to resolve it, you must use the blood of a Ghost God.”
Xu Zimei said.
“And the Ghost God who can arrange such a curse must have been a terrifying existence before death.
“So ordinary Ghost God blood won’t work; you’d need powerful Ghost God blood.”
Upon hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Liu Jin realized.
As the saying goes, only the one who ties the bell can untie it.
This curse originates from the Ghost God; naturally, it should end with the Ghost God.
“Thank you, sir, for clearing my doubts,” Liu Jin bowed deeply again.
“Do you know where to find Ghost Gods?” Xu Zimei asked further.
“Recently, the number of Ghost Gods in the city has increased, it shouldn’t be hard to find,” Liu Jin said.
“Just wait here; it won’t be long before the Ghost God Academy becomes lively.”
Xu Zimei laughed.
“When the Ghost Gods become rampant, you probably won’t be able to kill them all.”
Liu Jin’s strength is quite impressive.
You must know that Ghost Gods are quite secretive around here, and ordinary people can’t discover them at all.
Only those with true strength can detect traces.
……
After resolving the issues with Liu Jin and Lu Xiong.
Xu Zimei began searching for clues about the Glazed Glass Immortal Realm here.
Besides those stories of the Glazed Glass Immortal Realm, inside the Historiography Hall, there’s another chamber.
No books are placed within this inner chamber.
But on the walls of the inner chamber, there are many carved talisman seals.
These talisman seals look very odd, without any connection or coordination.
Most people simply cannot understand these seals.
Initially, Xu Zimei also found nothing peculiar about these seals.
But over the following days, he searched the rest of the Historiography Hall thoroughly, finding nothing suspicious.
Ultimately, Xu Zimei returned to the inner chamber.
He sat cross-legged, and then specifically studied these seals.
Gradually, Xu Zimei indeed found some clues.
The position of each seal corresponds to the stars in the sky.
Moreover, each seal is not a separate entity.
The line positions at the edges of the seals can form different star constellations up and down, left and right respectively.
It can be said to be a very complex and obscure thing.
Even though Xu Zimei found a pattern, it’s still hard to comprehend it at once.
“Interesting, interesting,” Xu Zimei laughed.
Such things that are hard for him to discern have become rare.
Xu Zimei was in no rush.
He dedicated all his time to understanding these seals.
Time went by quickly; a week has passed.
That day, the gates of Ghost God Academy gradually opened.
The time to enroll new disciples arrived.
Countless people dreamed of joining this academy, but of course, no one knew how many of them were deceived.
The outside world was very lively.
But none of this concerned Xu Zimei; he was deeply engaged in deciphering the seals.
He was increasingly captivated as he pondered over them.
“Marvelous, the mysteries of the heavens, Heaven Beyond Heavens, who knew the world’s structure would be so intriguing.”
Xu Zimei laughed.
Although he hadn’t yet fully mastered it, much of it was already clear to him.
That day, he stepped out of the inner chamber.
Shangguan Ya was reading outside.
Without Xu Zimei’s command, they couldn’t enter the inner chamber.
“Teacher, you’re out,” Shangguan Ya said with a smile.
Xu Zimei nodded slightly.
He asked, “Did anything happen during this time?”
“Yes,” Shangguan Ya quickly replied.
“Yesterday morning, the Mountain Ghost dispatched someone to say that during this academy’s new enrollment, there would be a few specifically chosen for the Historiography Hall, and wanted to ask your opinion on whether to let them come.”
Probably the Mountain Ghost was concerned about bothering Xu Zimei.
So when new students arrived, he wanted to ensure not to provoke Xu Zimei’s displeasure by disturbing his peace.
Xu Zimei smiled and said, “Let them come if they wish, except for the inner chamber, they can freely browse all the books.”
With that, Xu Zimei squinted slightly and added, “Ordinary cultivators likely focus on the cultivation method, coming specifically to the Historiography Hall seems rare.”
Upon hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Shangguan Ya couldn’t help but give a wry smile, “It’s not just rare, it’s almost nonexistent.”
“I’ve been in the Historiography Hall for several years, but hardly anyone visits just to read.”
“The only two are Brother Lu Xiong and Old Man Liu Jin, and they are here to find a cure for themselves, those who purely come to read are simply nonexistent.”
