A Record Of Mortal’s Journey To Immortality Episode 149 Indonesia, English Sub

Han Li knew something is wrong. But not because of her evil looking abilities because in the Cultivator world, those who practice Evil/Demonic Skills are not necessarily Evil. Take Han Li for example, if you really examine his Skill sets, Han Li is without a doubt, a Demonic Cultivator. But he is not Demonic Faction, nor did he fell to the Dark/Demonic Side.

This stems from Chinese culture. The world is full of gray and ambiguity, when you go out to the world, you’ll surely get tangled, fall victims to evil (unfairness and injustice) and even make mistakes. It is not the labels and your ‘pitiful’ experiences that matters, it is how one lives with the darknesses that they will inevitably encounter and get caught by.

So Han Li is wary of the Corpse Spirit not because of her demonic skills. Its because of her situation. She use Ghost/Undead Skill, but she has a hairpin made out of Red Peach Wood, in Chinese mythology, objects made out of Red Peach Wood are some of the hardest Undead counters. Like wearing that hairpin would hinder her ghost skill. Having that as hairpin would be weird. This is like you have a 50 BMG, but you deliberately twist the barrel backward to point at your face and wave it around trying to intimidate people while making sure the barrel is constantly pointing at your own face.

The corpse is a very powerful type of Jiangshi formed when a Nascent Soul Cultivator with Heavenly Spirit Roots in Wood or Earth died of great grievance.

The corpse disguised as a helpless crippled woman and concealing the fox was a ruse. But Han Li was extremely cautious throughout. She said in the last episode that Han Li is the 1st living thing she encountered in a very long time. Meaning the fox has been dead for a long time. It was probably preserved because the Nascent Soul of the Jiangshi destroyed the fox’s soul and took over its body since god knows how long ago.

The Box sealed by talisman is literally made entirely out of things that hard counters Jiangshi ~ Talisman’s runes is blatantly anti-Jiangshi and evil spirits spell. The patterns on the Box is Taotie Runes, also designed specifically to counter Jiangshi and Evil Spirits in Chinese Mythology.

It is to be noted that the color of the talisman also says its very high level. Lowest level is the Yellow Talismans you’ll often see in old Chinese jiangshi movies especially from Hongkong in the 80s ~ 90s.

So when the woman became excited and urged Han Li to tear the Talisman off, her real intentions and identity became clear.

The Wolf Spirit in the Ruyi Scepter destroyed the Evil Nascent Soul in the Fox and took over its body.
