Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 484 Possession
The city of Jinling is audibly quiet under the night sky.

Apart from the patrolling military and police officers, there were no pedestrians on the streets at all, and the people in the city were basically squeezed into the so-called shanty towns and refugee areas.

The few prosperous areas are all inhabited by Japanese expatriates who migrated here later and are considered the upper class in this city.

And that is where Lu Jin is going now.

With the triple rebirth activated, he used the magical power of shrinking the earth into an inch, flashing quickly between the buildings without making any noise.

This is one of the three protective magical powers that Wang Yi developed early on based on the characteristics of the third level of reverse life.

Shrinking the Earth into an Inch is a space escape method that allows one to move a short distance and engage the enemy. The other two methods are drawing a line on the ground to make a prison, and dividing a river into land.

Only after practicing the two protective magical powers of Drawing a Prison on the Ground and Shrinking the Earth into an Inch to perfection, can one study the only powerful killing move in the three levels of Rebirth: Turning a River into Land, also called Space Slash.

After several moves, Lu Jin arrived at the section of the city where high-ranking Japanese military officials lived. He also withdrew from the reverse state, hiding in the darkness, not daring to make any noise.

Because he knew that he had to avoid using any tricks here if possible, otherwise, once the Qi of heaven and earth fluctuated, it would be hard to guarantee that it would not be noticed by the Japanese masters in the city.

Especially now there is a weird organization called the New Political Alliance.

Based on the few words he got from those traitors, Lu Jin only knew that tonight was the first action of this new political alliance after its establishment, and the purpose was to find out the so-called evil spirits that had been targeting Japanese officials and powerful businessmen in the city during this period.

In the eyes of Lu Jin and the strangers in the new political alliance, the so-called evil spirits are nothing more than some stranger master who is causing trouble in the name of evil spirits. He has a mysterious escape method that allows him to succeed time and time again, and with some sleight of hand, he has caused so many troubles.

With half-belief and half-doubt in his guess, Lu Jin lurked and groped all the way, and seemed to have found the place where the new political alliance would act tonight.

It was a villa that was built at a high price. It was brightly lit but heavily guarded outside. An inexplicable intuition told Lu Jin that this was the place he was looking for.

Instead of rushing in, Lu Jin hid far away outside, wanting to see what this evil spirit that specialized in killing Japanese people and this new political alliance were up to.

At this moment, in this brightly lit villa, four men and one woman were sitting in the living room. The one in the middle was a young monk, and from the positions of the other four, it seemed that they were looking up to the young monk.

One of them looked at the wall clock and saw that it was already past midnight, and he became a little impatient.

"Master Peacock, do you think this evil spirit will really appear here at this time?"

The young monk named Peacock did not answer, but just sat there and recited Buddhist scriptures quietly. The man was helpless.

The other party is a native Japanese Buddhist with mysterious skills. It is said that the skills he practices were obtained from the secret Buddhist scriptures when Monk Jianzhen traveled east.

The alien organizations that were invited to participate in this new political alliance this time also followed the trend.

As soon as they arrived here, the other party vowed that they would catch the evil spirit that was harming people in the city within three days. They also wanted to experience the style of their own local Buddhist disciples, so they joined in.

But the chosen place and the ambush left him speechless.

Thinking of this, he became annoyed: "It's all because of those idiots who failed in their Fucheng plan three years ago, and now we have to clean up their mess. They have accumulated so much Qi from the mountains and rivers, killed so many people, and accumulated it in this city. How can there not be some evil spirits!"

"Donor, when the mind is created, all kinds of demons are created; when the mind is destroyed, all kinds of demons are destroyed. You believe that there is evil in your heart at this moment, so naturally you are not at peace and have all kinds of random thoughts."

"Master, I am not imagining things, but we have already dug deep into this place and searched it thoroughly. If there is really an evil spirit coming to harm people tonight as you said, it can only be from the outside, not from the inside."

As if to refute the man's speculation and prove the Peacock Master's judgment, while he was speaking, the lights in the brightly lit villa suddenly flickered and the voltage became unstable.

Not only did they notice this sudden unusual situation, but also the Japanese soldiers guarding outside and Lu Jin who was watching noticed it.

The first to take action were naturally the Japanese soldiers guarding outside, but before they were ready to enter the villa to provide support, the voice of Peacock Master was heard from inside the villa.

"Major Kuroda, we are responsible for this place. To avoid harming innocent people, please retreat..."

The voice was so calm and powerful that the restless soldiers outside suddenly became quiet and peaceful. Even Lu Jin, who was watching from a distance, was affected.

"Master!"

This was Lu Jin's first judgment about the owner of the voice, and he couldn't help but worry about the "evil spirit" that was ambushed in the villa.

In the villa, everyone except the Japanese monk named Peacock was facing a great enemy as they looked at the flickering lights all around.

It was obvious that they had dug the ground upside down and there was no place left to hide people. There were also heavy troops guarding outside, so how did they manage to pull off these little tricks?

Suddenly, the lights went out and the villa fell into darkness. The only source of light was the moonlight shining in from the window.

Four people protected the monk named Peacock and kept watch on the surroundings.

The peacock monk was not panicked, and said calmly: "Buddhism has eight consciousnesses, the eyes, ears, mouth, nose and body are the five senses, the sixth consciousness is consciousness, which is the overall perception, imagination and thinking; the seventh consciousness is manas, which is the potential self of a person; and the eighth consciousness is the root and core of the first seven consciousnesses, the alaya consciousness. I am not talented, but I have mastered the five senses and the seventh consciousness. No matter how skilled you are, you can't hide from my Dharma eyes at this moment. Why don't you show up quickly?"

As the Peacock Monk spoke, the four people felt that there was a mysterious Qi flowing and gathering in the air, and then they saw a scene that they could not understand.

White Qi appeared out of nothing and slowly gathered in front of their eyes, outlining the outline of a human figure. The white Qi also turned into the distribution of human meridians within this human outline, except that the skeleton and internal organs were missing.

"Is this the true form of the evil spirit? Peacock Mage, when did it come?"

"It? He has always been in this city. How can he come and go?"

Listening to the peacock wizard's mumbling behind him, the man simply stopped asking.

He swung the long sword in his hand, and the sword light fell down at the so-called evil spirit, and the sword energy was everywhere.

The expensive tiles and walls were cut by the opponent's sword energy, leaving a groove about the width of a palm. However, it did not bring any joy to the man, because he only felt that his sword was cutting into the air and did not hit anything real.

This was indeed the case. With one slash of the sword, the human ladder meridians that appeared from the air in front of him turned into a ball of smoke. It neither used Qi to resist nor dodged or evaded the sword. It dissipated into smoke and rushed towards him who had attacked it.

The man circulated Qi throughout his body to protect himself, but it didn't work at all.

The white qi transformed by the evil spirit easily passed through his protective true qi and entered through his pores, and an inexplicable feeling of palpitations also came from his body.

At this moment, he finally understood why those Japanese who had been killed by this evil spirit before had died of fright, but he could not make any sound and only felt that his life was about to end at this moment.

"Ho!"

A short, rapid breath came out of his mouth, and that was the last syllable he was able to utter.

At this moment, a palm came at his back, and a strong force flowed through his limbs and bones which were about to stop functioning. The evil spirit that had just penetrated into his body through his pores was forced out and reappeared in the air.

After surviving the disaster, the whole person looked like he had been fished out of the water. He half-knelt on the ground with his knife in his hand, breathing in the fresh air in big gulps.

The Peacock Wizard who forced the "evil spirit" out of his companion's body did not have the calm expression as before, because only he knew that he was able to expel the other party from his companion's body because the other party was concentrating all his energy on maintaining his own existence at the moment and had no time to care about other things.

The 'evil spirit' was floating in the air. Although it only had a body with meridians outlined by Qi, the five people including the Peacock Monk below felt that it was staring at them.

Before the Peacock Monk could open his mouth to try to communicate with him through telepathy, the 'evil spirit' left them, flew through the window, flew into the night sky, and headed straight for Lu Jin who was watching the show outside. "Master, us?"

"Chase!"

The five people showed their skills and jumped out of the villa.

Chasing after the 'evil spirit' that came out of the window.

The Japanese soldiers who were waiting far away outside the villa also noticed the unusual movements of Peacock Master and his five companions. When they were about to come over to support them, they only saw the five people chasing them, but not their target. They wanted to make a contribution, but when they drew their guns and looked around, they were at a loss.

"Don't come over here, leave now!"

Seeing that the soldiers outside, who he had just spoken to, did not retreat and were still staying outside, the Peacock Monk became furious and shouted loudly, ready to forcibly drive them away.

But it is already late.

The human-shaped 'evil spirit' made of human tendons and veins flickered in the air. After a few dodgy moves, it passed through the Japanese soldiers who had no idea where the enemy was.

Every time he passed through a Japanese soldier, this flickering human-shaped 'evil' figure became more solid, and the Japanese soldiers who were passed through, just like the Japanese he had killed before, all suffered cardiac arrest and died of fright.

Just as the saying goes, there are evil soldiers passing through the city, and ghosts are seeking revenge!
Colleagues around him died of fright one after another, and the humanoid "evil spirit" went from flickering to solidifying and could be seen with the naked eye. The other surviving Japanese soldiers suddenly lost their will to fight, and they just screamed and ran away, wishing their parents had given them two more legs.

"Mage? What is it doing?"

"He is familiar with every structure of the human body. If he continues to kill like this, he will soon transform into a human! We must stop him!"

"How can I stop him? My Chi can't affect him."

The Peacock Monk did not answer, but just stood still and muttered to himself.

The Eight Consciousnesses of Buddhism: Telepathy!
"Stop!"

A pure Buddhist thundering sound and a sentence in standard Chinese seemed to calm the soul of the humanoid "evil spirit" in front of the Japanese soldiers that had frightened them out of their fighting spirit. The evil spirit stopped on the spot and looked around in confusion.

"As expected of the Peacock Mage!"

When his companions saw the "evil spirit" being suppressed by the peacock's thunderous roar, they began to flatter him, but Master Peacock himself felt something was wrong.

"Of course not! This thing is not intimidated by you at all, he is targeting me!"

Lu Jin, who was watching this weird confrontation from afar, was roaring wildly in his mind, because at this moment he felt as if he was being locked onto by the humanoid 'evil spirit' suspended in the air, and he felt a weird feeling.

With the idea of ​​keeping his distance, Lu Jin now wanted to run away.

The images of those Japanese soldiers dying of fright after being pierced by this "evil spirit" are still fresh in his mind.

Without any hesitation, Lu Jin immediately circulated his Qi and entered a reverse life state. White Qi emanated from his entire body, and he was about to use his magical power of shrinking the earth into an inch to escape.

"Is there anyone else here?"

Shrinking the Earth into an Inch is a short-distance space escape technique. As soon as Lu Jin used it, the Peacock Monk, who had the most acute perception, immediately realized that there was an outsider nearby.

But at this time, Lu Jin didn't care whether he was exposed or not. He shrunk the ground into an inch and disappeared from the spot.

Little did he know that it was this movement of Lu Jin that made the humanoid 'evil spirit' suspended in mid-air lock onto him.

With a flash of his figure, the humanoid 'evil spirit' disappeared from the air.

This scene also made the Peacock Monk's pupils dilate. His telepathy was actually unable to freeze the other party? !
The next second, Lu Jin, who was using the space escape technique of shrinking the earth into an inch, fell out halfway, his clothes in tatters. Obviously, this act of forcibly interrupting the escape was not friendly to the person who performed the escape technique.

Fortunately, Lu Jin was in the reverse life state at this time, and the third level of reverse life was repairing Lu Jin's injuries.

But at this moment, Lu Jin didn't care about his injuries at all. He was only shocked by the voice that appeared in his mind.

"Go with the flow to avoid disasters, go against the flow to gain merit..."

"Brother? Are you still alive?"

Lu Jin cried out in surprise. He could not imagine that the guy who had been killing so many Japanese in the city in the form of an evil spirit could be Wang Yi, who had been dead for three years since the Battle of Fucheng? !
In his mind, Wang Yi who was possessed by Lu Jin did not answer, and Lu Jin only felt that at this moment there was a stream of true Qi that was the same source as his own, but which Lu Jin felt was more authentic, flowing around his body, opening up the acupoints in his body and some of the sluggish small meridians.

Then, Lu Jin heard Wang Yi's voice.

"Hmm? I haven't practiced the middle elixir, the upper elixir doesn't work, and I can only make do with the lower elixir? Am I such a loser?"

Lu Jin:? ? ?
At this moment, Lu Jin only felt a strong wind coming from behind him, and it turned out that the pursuer was waving a long knife and was about to pierce him through the chest.

But Lu Jin couldn't control his body at all at this time, and even when he asked questions to Wang Yi who possessed him, he couldn't get any response.

"It's over. What's that catchphrase of my senior brother? Now I'm in trouble!"

"Forget it. I'll practice the middle elixir first. If I don't practice the third elixir and connect it, how can I return to the source and return to the unity of the three levels of reverse birth?"

what?
Lu Jin was puzzled, but then he intuitively felt that his middle elixir, which had not made any progress in the second level of the three levels of reverse life, was quickly connecting with the lower elixir. This feeling was very wonderful for Lu Jin.

The third level of reverse life is to practice reverse life to the point where there are three dans in the human body, with the lower dan as the starting point and the upper dan as the end point. When all three dans can enter the state of reverse life, it is the third level. This is the realization that Zuo Rutong and Wang Yi told the disciples of Sanyi Sect after they reached the third level of reverse life.

But that is after entering the reverse growth state, using the reverse growth true qi to allow the three elixirs to help each other, connect with each other, and jointly construct the reverse growth state. This kind of reverse growth is more stable and more reliable.

It was then that Lu Jin finally understood why he and his junior fellow apprentice Li Muxuan were knocked unconscious by Wang Yi’s palms each when Wang Yi went on his first long journey.

Isn't it that at that time, my reverse growth only had the lower dantian as the starting point, starting from the lower dantian, and influencing the whole body into the reverse growth state. It was easy to deal with ordinary people, but when facing some masters who were proficient in light and dark power, my reverse growth was like a house that was built without a solid foundation in their eyes.

It’s okay if there’s a little wind or rain, but if you encounter a strong wind, the building will be blown away!

To put it bluntly, the three levels of reverse rebirth are that the lower dan lays the foundation, the middle dan bears the weight, and the upper dan serves as the cap. If there is a mistake in any link in the middle, the result will be the loss of power and disability at best, or sudden death at worst.

Even if it is successfully built, since there is no way after the third level, the third level of reverse life is just an old house. When the time comes, it will collapse due to disrepair.

But now Lu Jin feels different, as the foundation of the triple lower elixir of reverse growth is taking root, little by little nutrients are being supplied to the middle elixir through the foundation of the lower elixir, and the reverse growth state is running automatically, giving Lu Jin a brand new experience.

All these changes seem to take a long time, but in fact they are just a short moment.

The killing move behind him was already coming, and Lu Jin, who had a sudden inspiration, turned around and slapped him, saying softly: "Get out!"

With one slap of his palm, the knife broke and the man flew away.

Lu Jin stood there, his silver hair flying in the night wind, with one hand behind his back, posing the familiar posture of a master with his hands behind his back.
