The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

More than a thousand years ago, Changmei Zhenren was born and entered Taoism again.

He had practiced for two lifetimes before and accepted twelve disciples including Xuan Zhenzi, Mie Chenzi, Qi Shuming and others.

Deng Yin and he were brothers for three generations. At first, it was Deng Yin who became Chu Sanzi's disciple, and then he guided him to become Taiyuan Zhenren's disciple.

Later, because of the blood nerve, Changmei Zhenren saved Deng Yin and sent him to reincarnation. He himself also died of war at the same time. His twelve disciples also followed him to reincarnation and continued to cultivate.

In his last life, he was reborn in Renjiazhuang, Xiaogan, Hubei, and was named Ren Shou.

Soon he met the reincarnated Deng Yin in the back mountain of Wudang, and they became brothers again. By chance, he obtained the Ten Thousand Year Old Purple Orchid, Lingcui Peak and the Purple and Green Swords.

The Lingcui Peak is the most precious treasure of the Jiutian Immortal Palace. It is stronger and more wonderful than other treasures of the heavenly palace. It has all kinds of wonderful uses of the two yin and yang and the six harmonies. There is also the two-polar magnetic energy hidden on the top of the peak, which can be used to collect other people's various hardware flying swords and magic weapons.

At that time, even the Purple and Green Swords would be forcibly taken away if they encountered Lingcui Peak.

Later, Tiandu and Minghe wanted to use Lingcui Peak to overcome their tribulation, so they borrowed it and took down the Yuanci true qi stored on the top of the peak. They refined it into the Purple and Green Swords respectively. From then on, the twin swords were no longer afraid of Yuanci true qi.

Immortal Changmei spent hundreds of years studying Lingcui Peak, and from it he comprehended the wonderful use of the two yin and yang, and created the famous Liang Yi Liuhe Micro Dust Array, which is regarded as the number one immortal array in the world of Shushan. For this reason alone, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one Taoist in this world in thousands of years.

The most complete Yin-Yang Micro-Dust Array is on Mount Emei. It is based on the entire Emei Sect, draws energy from dragon veins and earth energy, and uses the Taiqing Yiqi Divine Talisman as the center of the array. It is truly possible to derive a vast world from the Yin-Yang Micro-Dust Array, which is both real and illusory, and has endless magical uses.

This formation cannot be moved. Changmei Zhenren made a set of twelve small flags in the past, which he could use to set up the formation at any time to capture Deng Yin. In the end, he imprisoned Deng Yin at the bottom of the Xingxiu Sea for more than three hundred years.

Deng Yin also comprehended this simplified version of the formation, but after more than three hundred years he still had not fully understood it and was unable to figure it out.

When he explained it to Shi Feiyang, he concealed many important points and only gave a general description of the six changes, mainly asking Shi Feiyang to help him out.

Shi Feiyang is proficient in numerology and has practiced the Three Emperors Dao for many years. He wondered why I couldn't do what Ren Shou could do. In addition to practicing for these years, he made detailed deductions on this formation.

The so-called Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to Liangyi, Liangyi gives birth to Sixiang, Sixiang gives birth to Bagua... These most basic ones are shared by everyone. In other words, all the underlying logic of Chinese civilization, whether it is medicine, architecture, astronomy, geography, customs, etiquette, music, creation, naming, etc., is the same.

Shi Feiyang also refined twelve jade talismans for this purpose, divided into six groups, each with yin and yang, obscurity, brightness, illusion, death and six gates, each with a yin gate and a yang gate. Yin and yang are in mutual generation and restraint, interconnected, some are pathways, some are blockages, each with its own magic, which is different from the formation of Changmei Zhenren.

The Demonic Sword was frightened to death when it discovered his presence. It remembered that Shi Feiyang had used a Fire Drill to brutally blow its underdeveloped body into two pieces!

It knew that with Zhao Xinyuan's physical body, it could not even escape, let alone compete with Shi Feiyang. So it used Zhao Xinyuan to perform the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, forcing Shi Feiyang to fight back to defend. It then drilled into the body of one of the eight demons, and then controlled the eight to fly in all directions at the fastest speed.

The twelve gates correspond to the twelve star palaces in the sky, starting from the Zigong Xu Ri Shu and ending at the Haigong Shi Huo Zhu. They are all like gates in the sky made up of shining golden light and surrounded by colorful clouds of various colors. It seems that there is an endless starry sky outside the gates.

The magic sword controlled nine beams of blood light to fly into a gate each. These gates were connected to each other. Shi Feiyang had already closed the gates before they flew in and immediately appeared out of thin air right above Tiandu Peak.

Because this is the location of the most powerful illusion gate in the Yin-Yang Microdust Array, the twelve gates in the sky are all derived appearances. The real death gate is at the stairs, and the illusion gate is in the center.

Nine rays of blood light appeared at the same time, collided with each other, and turned into a ball of blood mist, which was wrapped in a layer of five-colored clouds. The blood mist jumped and rolled in the colorful clouds, but it could no longer leave.

The Illusion Gate is the essence of this formation. The so-called transformation of boundless wilderness with the two yin and yang dust particles depends on completing it within the Illusion Gate.

Shi Feiyang's formation also strives to bring the "illusion" to the extreme. When the magic sword entered the five-colored light, it lost the sense of time and space, as if it was floating in the endless space, constantly accelerating its flight, but in fact it had always stayed in the same place.

Shi Feiyang stretched out his left hand and shot out five colorful lights, which were injected side by side into the colorful clouds in the sky. The light of the colorful clouds immediately turned from light to dark and was forcibly compressed inwards.

"Bang!" The blood mist inside exploded, leaving only a magic sword, still thinking about escaping.

Shi Feiyang turned his left hand upside down, and the five fingers continuously emitted divine light, sucking down the colorful clouds. The sword became smaller and smaller, and finally fell on his palm like a toothpick. It was not until this time that the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword realized that it had no chance of escape, and hurriedly said to Shi Feiyang: "Master Shi! Master Shi, hello! Since we last parted at Xingxiu Sea, I have missed Master Shi and hope that one day I can become Master Shi's sword. According to Master Shi's will, whatever your heart desires, my sword will go... Your Taoism is profound. If I can be controlled by your will, my sword will be able to transform itself soon and become a Taoist..."

Shi Feiyang did not expect that this sword spirit could be so smooth-talking. He still had the arrogance of a demon. Although he would occasionally try to please him, rubbing his fingers with the spine of the sword like a spoiled child, gently emitting a rhythmic vibration, expressing pleasure in the blessing of his will, he was not so shameless!

Shi Feiyang said: "I already have enough flying swords, and I don't need one like you. I came to capture you this time to destroy you, so that you won't harm the world."

The magic sword begged for mercy: "Master Shi, please spare my life! I don't want to harm the human world! Aren't there many sword immortals who are planning to capture me? You don't know how I have survived all these years... I didn't dare to kill anyone. I was scared by you. I was completely cut off at that time. I hid in the human world, afraid that I would reveal any clues and be captured by some sword immortal..."

"You didn't kill anyone?"

"If I was reckless and went out to kill people and suck their blood, I would have been famous long ago. Why would I have to wait until now? I am so cautious and fearful. Every day I can see the illusion of you holding the fire drill to catch me."

"Then you weren't the one who killed Zhao Xinyuan just now?"

"Well... I killed a few, but there was no other way. I only used my blade to kill when I had no other choice... But I never killed ordinary people. I only killed practitioners who coveted me. They wanted to get me, so I took advantage of their greed to kill them and sucked their blood... That's not important. What's important is that a few years ago, I was thinking, the blood of a Taoist priest with pure Yang Qi is hot to drink, what does the blood of a monk with pure heart taste like? So I deliberately revealed my whereabouts and attracted a monk. Guess who he is?"

Shi Feiyang knew that this sword spirit was the fusion of Emperor Ling of Han and Xu Wan's original spirit. Xu Wan was not so poor before, so he must be the descendant brought by Emperor Ling of Han. However, it is also possible that he has been trained in the world of mortals for these years and has been infected with these market habits: "I don't care who he is. I just need to use the fire drill to chisel you into thirteen pieces, put you back into the Bagua furnace, and refine you with civil and military fire for 49 days, and then I will refine you."

"No! No! Master, you must listen to me. The monk I lured here is the abbot of Miaoyin Temple in Baimapo, Minshan, and his Buddhist name is Yichen." The sword spirit said, "I pretended to be taken back to the temple by the monk, and when he was in meditation, I invaded his consciousness, disturbed his state of mind, and wanted to suck his blood.

I never expected that the old monk had such powerful magic that he could remain unmoved in the magic world I created. Instead, he used Buddha's light to suppress me. I fought with him, and in the end, neither of us could do anything to the other. I still had the upper hand over him and almost absorbed all his blood and energy, but he suppressed me with a golden Buddha.

I thought this was going to be bad, I was afraid he would destroy me, but he didn't take any further action, instead he asked me to help him practice. He asked me to create all kinds of magic realms to interfere with him while he was practicing, affecting his five senses and six consciousnesses, so as to hone his character. "

Shi Feiyang thought about it and realized that Master Yichen was not a top Buddhist master like the three monks and two nuns, and he was also much inferior to Master Zhifei and the ascetic monk. But he was also at this level. He was a friend of the same generation as Ling Hun, and he loved to preach to all kinds of wild beasts and strange creatures, such as black tigers, white apes, red pythons, and black foxes.

The sword spirit continued, "I was suppressed by the golden Buddha, and I couldn't escape. I also wanted to make the old monk go insane so that I could drink his blood and take over his body to do things. If I could do that, I could come out and do whatever I wanted. Who would have thought that an old monk with such profound Buddhist knowledge would have my magic sword hidden in his body? Then I could use the Buddhist tools to cover up the evil spirit, and it would be foolproof.

So after he entered into meditation, I used all means to lead him to the devil. He had profound Buddhist knowledge and deep meditation, but there were a few times when I found the weak spots in his mind and attacked him fiercely, almost making him lose his meditation and wisdom and fall into my hands. It was a pity that he had a deep fortune and always woke up at the last moment. As the saying goes, it is not to be afraid of thoughts arising, but to be afraid of being slow to realize them. In the end, I failed to destroy his golden body and precepts.

I spent more than a year at Miaoyin Temple, battling him every day, which made his mind and character more perfect, and his Buddhist practice more and more diligently. In the end, he was about to ascend to heaven! He even thanked me, saying that because of me, he could complete his merits in advance and ascend to the paradise.

Shi Feiyang also admired: "This old monk is extraordinary. He was able to cultivate a pure mind in the devil's realm. His courage and wisdom are far beyond that of ordinary people. Since he has completed his merits and deeds, you are of no use to him. Not only did he not destroy you, but he thanked you instead?"

The sword spirit said, "Yes, he bowed to me very solemnly that day and expressed his gratitude to me. He also said... In the past year or so, he has made great progress in his merits and deeds by refining Buddha with demons, and I have also benefited from refining demons with Buddhas. I disagreed with this and refuted it on the spot, but he said that he read many Buddhist scriptures to me and explained the deep meaning of them. I don't take it seriously now.
But in fact, they have been deeply memorized, like diamond seeds, which will blossom and bear fruit when the conditions are ripe in the future. He also said that he had a disciple who accidentally killed a black fox who had attained enlightenment and violated the precepts. He gave him a weapon and sent him to reincarnation. He asked me to take care of him when I have the chance and tell him the Buddhist teachings I know. I said I was a magic sword.
It is a magic sword that makes all the evil spirits greedy and the Buddhas and Taoists angry! I will never be able to defeat those masters. I can only hide here and there like a rat or an ant. I can sense that there will be disasters in the future. I don’t know if I can get through them. How can I care about your disciples? The old monk told me that my biggest disaster is you, the real person.

If I meet you again in the future and I am caught by you and there is no way to escape, I will tell you about this experience and sincerely repent, and you will definitely spare my life. Master Shi, I really repent sincerely. From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do and kill whoever you ask me to kill. I am also a poor and innocent little life. Please have mercy on me and spare me! "

Shi Feiyang held the sword in one hand and sighed, "I didn't expect that you would have such good fortune after entering the mortal world."

When he heard the sword spirit say that he had been hiding here and there, and that evil spirits became greedy when they saw him, and that Buddhists and Taoists became angry when they heard about it, he felt quite touched. He recalled the time when he was a dragon, and he was also very cautious and could not be tolerated among the good and evil cultivators in the world. After all, this magic sword was also an outlier, and in terms of cause and effect, this outlier was created because of his proposal back then.

"What else did Master Yichen say to you afterwards?"

"Then there is nothing to say. I am just a sword. He could not pass on the inheritance of Miaoyin Temple to me. He passed it all to another monk in his temple. However, his relics were given to me." The sword spirit said, "On the night when the old monk passed away, I was his guardian. After he passed away, his body turned into three relics.
Finally, he told me that he knew I wanted to suck his blood, and when he asked me to help him practice, he had vowed to donate all his essence, blood, and marrow to me, and all the merits of his practice this year to me, hoping that one day I could free myself from the sword body and escape from the sea of ​​suffering. Now that his merits are complete, he has melted all his essence, merits, concentration, and wisdom into three relics and gave them to me.

When the sword spirit said this, it hummed and trembled, and actually emitted a layer of golden Buddha light on the surface of the magic light: "I have refined those three relics, and now I can be considered to be practicing both Buddha and magic!"

Then, he pleaded pitifully: "Master Shi, I really want to repent. I regret my mistakes. From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do. Please don't destroy me, okay? Of course, if you insist on killing me, I will not resist! I knew that when I was in Xingxiu Sea,

Sooner or later, I will die in your hands. Only you can kill me. Even if you kill me, it won't be a disgrace to me... In fact, what does it matter whether I die or not? There is no self, no others, no sentient beings, no life... I have nothing left. I am dead, so I am dead..." (End of this chapter)
