Chapter 239: I don't eat monsters
It was dusk at this time, and the Dharma King Temple was shrouded in dark clouds.

Outside, there were torches and monks coming and going. Not far away, there were even a few small markets where people were doing business, and there were immortal sect practitioners maintaining order. If there was anything they could harvest in the Dharma King Temple, they could quickly sell it at a suitable price.

Such an environment seemed peaceful at first glance, but Su Heng could sense the crisis hidden beneath the dark clouds.

Retracting his gaze, Su Heng took a step forward.

Swish!
He soon arrived at the towering city wall not far away.

A girl in red sat cross-legged on a gray-black wall, the bright moonlight shining down, coating her thin figure with a layer of silver. The cold wind blew from the distant snow-capped mountains, and a few strands of black hair were blown up by her fair cheeks.

"Ah!" Ling Weizi was so frightened that she almost jumped off the wall.

After seeing that it was Su Heng, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She patted her barren chest and panted softly, "Next time, can you not be so elusive and scare me?"

"You seem a little afraid of me." Su Heng lowered his eyes, "Is it because you are a demon?"

"you--"

Ling Weizi’s eyes suddenly widened and she stood there in a daze.

Su Heng smiled softly, squatted on the ground, reached out and gently touched her cold cheek, brushed a few strands of soft hair, "It seems that my guess was right."

When he first met Ling Weizi, Su Heng faintly sensed a demonic aura from her.

After a period of contact outside the Fawang Temple, Su Heng's guess was further verified.

"Don't eat me!" Ling Weizi was frightened by Su Heng and her face turned pale and she was terrified.

"Am I that scary?" Su Heng touched Ling Weizi's head. The latter's whole body was stiff, like a kitten with its neck pinched.

Seeing Ling Weizi's appearance, Su Heng laughed. He leaned against the city wall and said jokingly, "You are so small that you won't gain much weight even if you eat."

"Huh, that's good." Ling Weizi relaxed.

She rubbed her chest with her little hands and for the first time she was grateful for her "poor" figure.

"When I left Baihua County, Qin Shunying asked me to take good care of you. I will be back soon. You stay here during this period and don't move around casually." Su Heng always took his promises very seriously, especially between friends. Now that he has promised, he will do it seriously.

"Yeah." Ling Weizi nodded, "I understand."

Looking at the fire in the market in the distance, Ling Weizi tucked up a few strands of hair by her ears and asked, "Are you also going to leave?"

"It's almost time." Su Heng said decisively, with a faint light in his pupils.

"You seem to be in a bad mood." Su Heng rarely noticed that Ling Weizi was in a bad mood.

"It's okay, I just don't quite understand." Ling Weizi rubbed her cheek with her hand and sighed, "I clearly told them that there was danger in the Dharma King Temple, and they believed me. But they still chose to go deep into it without hesitation... Some of my valued juniors died in the Dharma King Temple."

"This is their own choice. Why should we be sad?" Su Heng said calmly. "The life span of humans is too short. Even if one cultivates to the level of Heavenly Weirdness, under normal circumstances, it is only about 300 years. It is far from comparable to that of demons."

"So they have to seize every possible opportunity to avoid regrets when they are old."

"I see. What you said seems to make sense."

Ling Weizi nodded, not quite understanding, "What about you? Your life should be quite long, and your cultivation progress is very fast. Why do you want to take risks?"

"I just simply like fighting, and I like the sense of crisis between life and death." Su Heng laughed, and he spread his arms as if he wanted to embrace the stars and the dark sky on the Skull Plain. "I am such a monster."

Ling Weizi jumped down from the wall, reached out and patted Su Heng's arm, "Then I wish you success!"

"Take care of yourself too." Su Heng waved his hand.

His body rose and fell, and then disappeared from Ling Weizi's sight.

……

Sharpening knives does not miss woodcutters.

Su Heng did not enter the Dharma King Temple immediately, but came to a temporary market outside.

Although it was night, there were many people in the market, and the goods on the stalls on both sides were also dazzling. There were various precious medicines collected from the Dharma King Temple, fragments of scriptures, materials from strange beasts, and disposable magic tools and talismans made by monks.

Su Heng did gain a lot of knowledge, but unfortunately these items were useless to him.

One of the inconspicuous stalls caught Su Heng's attention. There were several scribbled pictures on it, which turned out to be a map of the interior of the Fawang Temple.

This thing does have some effect. Su Heng's core goal is to find the Tathagatagarbha Sutra, and having a map can save a lot of energy.

"How much is this map?" Su Heng asked.

"It depends on what kind you want. Different quality means different prices." The stall owner was a skinny old man with yellow teeth. His clothes seemed to have not been washed for a long time. They were greasy and the original color could not be seen. He exuded a rancid smell.

"Of course it has to be the best quality." Su Heng said calmly.

"Good, good, good!" The old man with yellow teeth was delighted, "I like straightforward young people like you." He took out a beast skin scroll from the package behind him, and when he looked up and handed it to Su Heng, he could see Su Heng's appearance clearly with the help of the moonlight. He was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, "You are the warrior who pacified the beast tide a few days ago."

"This is amazing." The old man immediately laughed, "If you want it, just take it."

"I won't take advantage of this little advantage." Su Heng shook his head.

"Then... let's use a demon corpse as exchange." The old man thought for a moment and stretched out a skinny finger.

For martial arts practitioners, as their realms improve, mundane things like gold and silver have almost no value. In such a prosperous market, there are no less than ten powerful Tiangui masters, but the most primitive method is to barter.

Among all the items traded, demon corpses can be considered a more common "currency".

On the one hand, it can be integrated into one's body to improve cultivation and prolong life. On the other hand, whether it is used to refine weapons or as medicine, it is very useful. There are countless monsters that died at Su Heng's hands, and the monster corpses in his hands are also quite rich.

Su Heng took out a fierce demon skeleton from his arms, and the old man carefully took it, and then handed the most detailed map to Su Heng, and the deal was done. He got what he wanted and didn't stay any longer.

After leaving the market, Su Heng opened the map and browsed the contents on it with the help of moonlight.

Compared with the maps shown previously, the contents of this animal skin booklet are undoubtedly much more detailed.

The Sutra Repository, Alchemy Room, Monks' Quarters, Dharma Hall, etc., each area is clearly marked and easy to see at a glance, and I don't know where the content above came from.

However, there is also a line of small words for notes.

The secret realm where the Dharma King Temple was originally located was broken, and the space inside may shift.

Therefore, the contents of the atlas can only be used as a reference and cannot be fully trusted. If any errors occur, the stall owner will not be responsible.

"It's enough for reference." This was not the first time Su Heng entered the secret realm, and he knew that the environment was strange. He wrote down the contents, and then snapped his fingers. The map was ignited by the force, and turned into a handful of flying ash that dissipated in the wind.

He stopped hesitating and took a step forward, arriving outside the Dharma King Temple.

The inside and outside of the Dharma King Temple were clearly divided. The weather outside was sunny and the full moon was high in the sky, while inside it was gloomy, dead silent, and filled with a strong smell of blood. Just separated by a wall, the inside and outside were divided into two completely different worlds.

and……

Su Heng looked up at the sky.

A broken Buddha head hung in the sky, with black blood oozing from its eyes.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and one could vaguely see some ancient buildings being uprooted. They were moving irregularly, sometimes colliding with each other, and two bloody bodies fell out of them. It looked like blood was raining from the sky, which was very creepy.

"Is it the space turbulence mentioned on the map, or is it that the devil's infection is spreading further outward?" Su Heng fell into deep thought, but it was difficult to get a definite answer.

"No matter what the reason is, there is no need to be afraid, just push forward." Su Heng laughed. The subtle sense of crisis coming from the Dharma King Temple did not scare him and stop him. Instead, it made Su Heng's heart more and more excited, eager for the next battle.

He wanted to activate his super senses here, step into the world of Tiangui, and then devour the demon god alive to build an invincible foundation for martial arts.

Swish!
As he thought this, ripples began to form in the barrier covering the Dharma King Temple.

A blood-red thunder exploded in the sky, and Su Heng's burly body became blurred and then disappeared.

In the distance, two ordinary-looking Yiluansi agents breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the target has entered the Dharma King Temple. Notify General Jian and General Yuan that we can carry out the next plan." One of the middle-aged spies spoke in a deep voice with a dim gaze.

"What a pity..." said another younger spy, "Such a young and powerful person is going to die here. If the current emperor had not been injured, perhaps the empire would have had another famous and powerful Heavenly King."

The spy's tone actually revealed some dissatisfaction with the current ruler, the Third Prince.

"Is that what you should say?" The middle-aged spy glanced at him coldly and said without any emotion, "Remember our duties. A calloused brain is the best brain. We are the eyes and hands of those big guys. We don't need to think, we just need to execute."

The young spy felt guilty after being glared at like that.

He quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet the gaze of the senior beside him. "I understand." He replied, and then the two of them quickly set off, delivered the message, and soon disappeared into the darkness outside the Dharma King Temple.

……

Inside the Dharma King Temple.

Su Heng didn't even blink, he just felt a slight distortion in the space around him.

Then the surrounding scene changed. The white walls, red tiles, the vast Gobi Desert, and the huge Buddha head floating in the sky all disappeared. In front of me was a gloomy bamboo forest. There was black fog and a few ghost lights floating in the air.

"It seems that when I entered the Dharma King Temple, I encountered the space turbulence caused by the shattering of the secret realm. I was directly teleported here..." Su Heng narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the surrounding scene. Then he stretched out his hand to knock on his temple and made a judgment based on the map.

An expression of surprise soon appeared on his face. Going further ahead, it seemed to be a medicinal garden in the Dharma King Temple.

And if everything goes well, this place is not far from the core Dharma Hall.

"It seems that my luck is pretty good." Su Heng smiled carefreely, stretched out his hand to push away the lush bamboo forest in front of him, and his burly body sank into the darkness that seemed to be real.
