Pure Yang!

Chapter 174: Daluo Palace, the thirteen zodiac signs! The Three Corpses Taoist
The dragon and tiger seals, with their mighty power, can suppress demons.

The golden seal shone with such ferocity that it struck the back of the corpse-skin shadow's head like a brick.

Roar……

The black corpse skin let out a shrill roar, and a golden light shone, like flame patterns, imprinting a seal on the skin...

In an instant, lines spread out like tendons, connecting nine talismans including the head, limbs, throat, heart, dantian, and coccyx.

hum...

Nine black talismans wriggled and squirmed, and in an instant they were dyed red gold. The black shadow of the corpse skin, which was so arrogant just now, became like a deflated ball. It stagnated and gradually shrank, and finally turned into a piece of skin again and collapsed to the ground.

The quiet and dim hall returned to silence again, like a pool of stagnant water.

Zhang Fan's other soul also returned to his body. He let out a long breath, and it was like a white line spreading out.

The battle just now lasted only a split second, but the danger and energy consumption were unimaginable. In just one minute, his clothes were soaked with sweat. The high temperature caused the sweat to evaporate and turned into mist rising from his head.

"I...was my eyes dazzled just now!?"

Liu Xingchui subconsciously raised his hand and pinched Liu Xingyu hard. He didn't come to his senses until the latter screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

"Brother, did he...did his soul just now...split..."

"Don't talk... don't talk, I beg you... I beg you..."

Liu Xingchui grabbed Liu Xingyu's hand and looked at Zhang Fan with awe in his eyes.

If the various methods Zhang Fan had demonstrated before made him admire him and wanted to follow him from the bottom of his heart, then at this moment, he only felt fear in his heart, deep fear...

There are some things and some people that he cannot know or contact. Once he comes into contact with that level, there is no way back and he can only go down the path to the end.

At this time, he would rather the two brothers were blind, deaf and dumb.

"This thing is really useful."

Zhang Fan looked at the [Weiling Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal] in his hand and couldn't let it go. It was no exaggeration to say that this was the best birthday present he had ever received in his life.

Zhang Fan held the [Weiling Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal] in his hand and put it away. His eyes fell on the black leather on the ground. There was a large red-gold seal on the back of his forehead.

"Nine-Refined Living Corpse... The methods of the chief are indeed terrifying." Zhang Fan's eyes were fixed like a line.

This skin was too powerful. If it weren't for his unexpected move, he would not have been able to take down the monster in a short time. If it were an ordinary [high-level skill], he would most likely have been lying here.

"Brother Fan, you really got a treasure."

At this moment, Liu Xingchui walked over, staring at the black leather on the ground with burning eyes.

"Baby? You mean this thing?"

Zhang Fan had an idea and picked up the shriveled skin on the ground. It was cold to the touch.

"This is a treasure transformed from the Nine Refined Corpses." Liu Xingchui couldn't help but say, "This thing is much more powerful than ordinary high-level masters. If you keep it, you will become a guardian."

The monster created from corpse skin can withstand the two true fires of the Liu brothers. Its defense is simply outrageous. In addition, this skin should have come from Longhu Mountain when it was alive, and the methods it possesses are also the methods of the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain. Needless to say, how powerful it is.

"Longhu Mountain Zhang Family..."

In the history of Taoism, the nine attacks on mountains and temples were almost all initiated by the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain, in order to kill the evil Wuwei. The two sides had a deep blood feud that would not end until one of them died.

It is not surprising that the skins of the Zhang family members of Longhu and Longhu were found in the Taoist temple left by the Taoist Sanshi.

"I'll try."

Zhang Fan held the leather in his hand, stimulated his true yang, and blew a deep breath at the leather. The air containing strong true yang was blown into the leather, and the leather quickly filled up like an inflatable doll.

hum...

Then, the black shadow of the corpse skin transformed again into the mummy-like state just now, with its eyes opened, shining with red-gold light, nine talismans squirming, and gray-black air currents spread throughout its body, running through its limbs and bones like tendons.

A ferocious and terrifying aura rose again, shocking the Liu brothers so much that their faces turned pale and they subconsciously took a step back.

"Good baby."

Zhang Fan’s eyes immediately lit up. He could feel his true yang burning like a fire within the corpse-skin shadow’s body, and his soul had formed an extremely subtle connection with it.

"A guardian who is far superior to ordinary high-level masters." Liu Xingchui stood ten steps away and murmured softly.

Among ordinary practitioners of Taoism, only one in ten thousand can achieve the state of tranquility and activation of their primordial spirit. Most people may remain at the [Qi Gong] level for their entire lives, moving around and doing nothing.

A high-ranking Taoist priest is considered a mainstay even among the ten most famous Taoist sects in the world. If he is in an aristocratic family in the mortal world, he is the fate of the clan's success or failure.

Like the He family who were good at performing rituals and the Shen family who were good at talismans that Zhang Fan had met before, neither of them had any high-level skills.

Even the Yinshan Xiong family, who spent a lot of time and effort for the family inheritance and invested countless wealth and resources, could only barely train a ghost general with strength comparable to that of a high-level martial artist, but was eventually beaten to pieces by Xiong Sanqi.

Because of this, how precious is the combat power of a high-level warrior, especially the combat power that can be used as a guardian and passed down from generation to generation?

Just for this piece of skin, I'm afraid even if the Xiong family had to give up half of their property in exchange, they would be willing and grateful.

"Give you a name."

Zhang Fan looked at the strange creature in front of him that looked like a corpse. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He glanced at it and saw a strange symbol on the latter's right wrist, which looked very much like the word "North".

Perhaps, there was a "North" in its name when it was alive, or maybe there was a "North" in the name of the person it loved when it was alive. In any case, the past is over, and now, it is the guardian of Zhang Fan.

"Zhang Beizang!!!"

Zhang Fan whispered a name.

His surname is Zhang, the Zhang from the Longhu Zhang family, and his nickname is Beijiang.

Zhang Beizang!
Roar……

Zhang Beijiang seemed to sense something. He let out a low roar, and a gust of cold wind blew up, and the ground beneath his feet broke into pieces.

The Liu brothers looked at each other, with deep fear in their eyes.

This thing is probably more terrifying than they imagined.

"Brother Fan, just because of this guardian, this trip is not in vain." Liu Xingyu couldn't help but say.

If an ordinary person had a protector like Zhang Beijiang, he could almost walk around freely in the secular world.

"Get down to business, get down to business." Zhang Fan grinned, took a deep breath, and dispersed the true yang in Zhang Bei's body. The latter quickly shrank and turned into a piece of skin again.

Zhang Fan folded it, put it in his backpack, and carried it with him, which was very convenient.

"It can also be used as a blanket later. It's a good thing, with two uses." Liu Xingyu couldn't help but say.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Fan's eyes widened and he looked at him strangely.

Even Liu Xingchui stared at his incomprehensible brother in confusion.

What kind of brain circuit is this! ?
"Brother Fan, if you want it to be easy to carry, I can also make you a handmade backpack. I used to play Candy Crush..."

When it comes to his professional comfort zone, Liu Xingyu seems to open up and speaks with great joy.

"Okay, stop talking."

Liu Xingchui glared at his stupid brother. Although they were brothers, sometimes he could not fully understand his brother's thoughts.

"Let's go."

Zhang Fan didn't want to waste time, so he took the Liu brothers and went straight out of the [Corpse Refining Hall] and continued to go deeper.

Rumble... At this moment, a loud noise came from a very far distance. Zhang Fan and his party stopped suddenly and looked in the direction of the sound.

"what's the situation?"

"Someone came in... maybe there is another entrance to this Taoist temple." Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows.

The Prison Immortal Temple was originally left by the Taoist Sanshi. Perhaps it was someone from the Wuwei Sect who came in. After all, Haizhu had appeared in Luoxia Town not long ago.

"Leave quickly."

Zhang Fan quickened his pace and arrived at the inner hall after a while.

"Daluo Palace!"

Looking up, there are four big characters written on the majestic and ancient hall. They are so solemn and dignified that people dare not speak lightly when seeing them.

The Daluo Hall of Taoism is equivalent to the Daxiong Hall of Buddhism, and generally the Three Pure Ones and the guardian gods are enshrined in it.

"This Taoist temple is finally back to normal."

After seeing the [Corpse Refining Hall], everything seemed to be back to normal here.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan slowly pushed open the door of the hall.

"Um!?"

A ray of light shone through it. Zhang Fan was stunned at a glance. The first thing that caught his attention was the guardian gods standing on both sides of the hall. They were not the traditional spiritual officials and heavenly kings, nor were they the immortal gods known to the general public...

There are six stone statues on each side, a total of twelve, with human bodies and animal heads, guarding the main statue in the center.

"The Twelve Zodiac Signs!?" Liu Xingchui whispered.

"No... not the twelve zodiac signs... but the thirteen zodiac signs."

Zhang Fan's eyes focused as he looked towards the altar in the center. There stood a stone statue with a human body and face, holding a magic sword in its hand, guarding the statue on the altar.

The statue on the seat was not the Three Pure Ones as Zhang Fan thought, but an extremely strange clay sculpture with three heads on one body, facing three different directions, with his hands in seals, and a solemn appearance. On the tablet was written:

The throne of the Three Corpses Taoist Master!!!
"Three Corpses Taoist? What kind of deity is this? I've never heard of him before?"

"Is this a lewd worship of the evil god?!"

The Liu brothers' eyes darkened slightly, and they all had strange expressions.

However, Zhang Fan's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but think of his father and the Zhang family's old house.

In the old house, Zhang Lingzong also enshrined a statue named [Great Lingzong King], which symbolized himself and was almost identical to the [Three Corpses Taoist Lord] in front of him.

Human beings are in this world, feasting on incense and offerings, and a strange sense of mystery is overwhelming.

Zhang Lingzong did so.

The same is true for the Three Corpses Taoist.

Perhaps, there is a very special meaning in this, or perhaps this is an extremely ancient Taoist method...but Zhang Fan has never heard of it.

"I think... come quietly, or leave quietly..." Liu Xingchui suggested.

He stared at the statue of [Three Corpses Taoist Lord] and felt it was extremely weird.

"agree."

The three of them hit it off immediately, but after walking around the hall, they couldn't find the back door to leave.

"Only in and not out?" Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows and looked at the clay sculpture on the altar.

"Look."

At this moment, Liu Xingyu seemed to have discovered a new world. He pointed at the clay sculpture of [Three Corpses Taoist Lord] and shouted in a deep voice.

In front of the lofty statue, in the old incense burner, incense is burning continuously, the red flames are blazing, and wisps of mist are rising.

If you look closely, you can see that there are neither candles nor incense in the stove.

"No candles, no incense... Where does this incense come from?"

The Liu brothers looked at each other with confusion.

“This is real incense!”

Zhang Fan's eyes were fixed as he stared at the incense that looked like a cloud hovering in front of the Three Corpses Taoist Lord, and he muttered softly.

Gods and Buddhas all like incense.

why?
Because incense contains incredible power, and this power comes from people's thoughts.

All living beings worship gods and Buddhas with incense and offer them as sacrifices, which carry with them their thoughts, whether piety, prayers, respect, or fear... All kinds of thoughts grow and merge into the incense and become food for the gods and Buddhas.

Therefore, thoughts are one of the most incredible forces in this world.

If a person holds a certain wish, such as getting rich, getting promoted, becoming famous, etc., as long as he has firm beliefs and works hard naturally, he can often achieve success.

This is what is called wish fulfillment.

I am afraid that some people are not determined, give up halfway, doubt themselves, and become confused about the results. This is an unstable mind, and naturally their thoughts cannot achieve what they want.

So, in fact, ordinary people can do whatever they want in the secular world. The key lies in the four words "do whatever you want". However, this requires constant training, because thoughts cannot tolerate any impurities. Any hesitation caused by setbacks and rebellions will generate new thoughts, thus making the power of the initial thoughts useless and unable to achieve what you want! !
For example, if you believe that you will get rich, then you will definitely get rich. But after just three or five days, you are still short of money and begin to doubt, "Will I ever get rich?" Once such a new idea arises, the original idea cannot be achieved!
For those who practice Taoism, thoughts are like a flood or a beast. When thoughts are complicated and the consciousness is strong, the soul will become silent, extinguished from the worldly affairs, and there will be no chance for practicing Taoism.

It is said that when no thought arises, all attachments cease to exist, and when all thoughts arise, the door to obstacles opens.

Because of this, there is an incredible power hidden in thoughts, which can bring great success or great failure. It is mysterious and wonderful, and it is free and fire-born, rising with the clouds...

That is incense!!!
Incense offerings for the gods and Buddhas to feast on!
Therefore, to pray to God is to pray to oneself!

"Incense... I heard from the elders in the sect that gods and Buddhas eat it for eternity, and those who practice Taoism gather it for immortality..."

Liu Xingchui murmured softly. Even as cultivators, incense and fire were still illusory to them, like a legend, just like the so-called gods.

He had never imagined that this legendary thing could actually appear before him in a concrete form.

"The Taoist of Three Corpses is indeed worthy of being called the Taoist of Three Corpses. Such a huge pile..."

Zhang Fan's eyes lit up. It must be said that this [Prison Immortal Temple] was filled with treasures everywhere. In addition to the [Zhang Beijiang] he had just obtained, there were even incense sticks.

He had seen records in the [Secret Records of Taoism] that the so-called incense was illusory. Even in the ten famous Taoist mountains in the world, it was rare to find a way to gather incense. They could worship gods and Buddhas, but no matter how strong the incense was, they did not use the method of stealing.

The Taoist Sanshi's methods are truly extraordinary. He actually materialized this power and stole it from the secular world.

It is said that incense is almost omnipotent and better than any medicine. It can prolong life, practice Taoism, and even repair the soul.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but think of his father.

King of the Great Spiritual Sect, that statue may have the same function as the [Three Corpses Taoist Lords] in front of him, and can also gather incense.

There seems to be some subtle connection between Zhang Lingzong and the Three Corpses Taoist! !

clang... clang... clang...

In the darkest place in Zhang Fan's inner soul, the sound of heavy chains colliding sounded again, and a huge shadow suddenly rose and fell like a giant beast hidden in the ocean...

The mysterious voice came out, deep and hoarse, echoing in Zhang Fan's mind.

"We divided it...divided it..."
