Chapter 86: The Five Elements King, the True Appearance of the Evil Spirit (5k Chapter)

Yujing City, East Suburb Cemetery.

Zhang Fan was meditating and practicing the Taiyi Death Art and did not wake up until near noon.

At this moment, Xiong Ba looked at him with a different look in his eyes. His previous vigilance had dissipated a lot, and was replaced by a hint of respect.

This was because the [Taiyi Death Technique] displayed by Zhang Fan seemed to be much more authentic than his.

You must know that I have been practicing hard in secret for many years to achieve the results today.

Obviously, Zhang Fan spent much more time and effort on this Taoist art than he did.

"I'm really useless." Xiong Ba lowered his head.

He had no talent for his family's Yinshan Taoism, and even the [Taiyi Dead Art] that he obtained by chance was not as good as others in his practice.

"Don't be discouraged." Zhang Fan shook his head and hurriedly comforted him.

He could see that the boy in front of him had great potential, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to enter the door of [Taiyi Death Technique].

Perhaps because of this, he has made no achievements in the Yinshan Taoism of his sect over the years.

Originally, Taiyi method was the nemesis of this lineage.

"From now on, every morning at six o'clock and every evening at eight o'clock... just come here and I will guide you." Zhang Fan was kind-hearted.

"Let's add a super letter first."

The method he got from Xiong Ba today has benefited him a lot. He needs to digest it slowly after returning. As for the subsequent practice methods, he can only do it slowly.

"Really?" Xiong Ba's eyes suddenly lit up and he took out his phone: "How much?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiong Ba slapped himself hard.

"I'm sorry... How could a master like you be short of money? Asking for money is an insult to you... I'm sorry..."

"No..." Zhang Fan moved his mouth and wanted to say something.

"Brother, I'm leaving first." Xiong Ba bowed deeply to Zhang Fan with an apologetic look on his face, then turned around and left with a feeling of shame.

"Not...that..."

Zhang Fan looked at Xiong Ba's receding back and wished he could slap himself twice. It was obvious that Xiong Ba was not short of money. He was born in the Xiong family, so even if the family was marginalized, he should be richer than him.

"Are you pretending to be your mother?!" Zhang Fan cursed himself inwardly.

From that day on, Zhang Fan came to the East Suburb Cemetery to meet Xiong Ba almost every morning and evening. One or two times was okay, but when it happened too often, even the old man on duty wondered whether these two young men were really filial to their ancestors.

Why do you come to sweep the graves every day?

After many days of communication and hard practice, Zhang Fan became more and more proficient in the [Taiyi Death Technique]. Of course, Xiong Ba also benefited a lot and learned a lot of experience from Zhang Fan.

"You were beaten?"

On this day, before dawn, when the two had just met, Zhang Fan noticed something.

There were obvious scars on Xiong Ba's face, bruises on both sides, and a blood mark on his cheek.

"Who beat you? Why was he so cruel?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

Now, Xiong Ba can be considered his friend, or even a half-brother.

"It's normal for fellow disciples to fight with each other." Xiong Ba forced a smile, obviously not wanting to dwell on this topic any longer.

In fact, in order to stimulate the competitive spirit of the disciples and improve their level of Taoism, the Xiong family organizes three to five battles between disciples every month, which can be regarded as a competition among fellow disciples.

"Are you so brutal in a sparring match?" Zhang Fan rolled his eyes.

When you insult someone, don't reveal their weaknesses; when you hit someone, don't hit them in the face. This is simply a hit in the face.

"Forget it, I'm used to it anyway." Xiong Ba shook his head.

He was not a direct disciple, so one can imagine his status among his peers. In a fight or competition, some people would naturally pick on the weak, so that they could establish their authority.

For the same clan, they may not have any conflicts with Xiong Ba. The latter is just a tool for them to show off their means and intimidate others.

"Wherever there are people, there is the world of martial arts." Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh, and then waved his hand.

"Come, I will teach you a Yin Sha... With this, you can protect yourself."

As he spoke, Zhang Fan observed his soul, mobilized his true yang, gathered the surrounding yin energy, and practiced the [Northern Emperor Method] to refine a yin evil.

Gathering of negative yin becomes evil, a sign of great disaster. This thing is several times stronger than ordinary negative energy, which is equivalent to refining scrap iron into steel.

Originally, the Xiong family also took the path of gathering Yin and refining Qi, so even if this Yin evil was revealed, it would not be exposed.

"This..." Xiong Ba hesitated.

"Don't worry... it can't be seen. It's just a Yin Sha. It has nothing to do with Taoism... Your Yinshan Sect also has a way to gather Yin to form Sha." Zhang Fan saw what Xiong Ba was thinking and quickly gave him a reassurance.

"Brother Fan, thank you." Xiong Ba nodded.

It has to be said that ever since his master Gu Yuming became a vegetable, Zhang Fan has been the best person to him. Not only did he teach him the Taiyi Deadly Art, but he also taught him the Yin Sha Art.

"I need no thanks for your kindness." Zhang Fan said casually.

"Well, then I won't say anything." Xiong Ba nodded heavily, with gratitude in his eyes.

"..."

After chatting for a while, Zhang Fan was not busy practicing the [Taiyi Deadly Art] today, and left with Xiong Ba.

When I arrived at the company, it was exactly nine o'clock and I did not miss the clocking in.

"You are really punctual. You come every day at nine o'clock, not even a second early."

Jiang Hu looked at the time and couldn't help but admire Zhang Fan.

"Why haven't I seen Lao Yu recently?" Zhang Fan sat at his workstation, took a look and asked casually.

"Old Yu has an old problem. He can't see anyone when it thunders or rains... He says he has rheumatism..."

Jiang Hulu replied without turning his head: "It's the rainy season recently."

"Do cultivators have this kind of problem?" Zhang Fan muttered to himself and subconsciously turned his head to look at Bai Buran's office. Seeing that the door was closed, he opened the "pornographic book" with confidence and clicked on the homepage of the thousand-year-old demon.

The avatar of the thousand-year-old demon was still gray. As usual, Zhang Fan greeted him. This had almost become something he had to do every day besides opening the phone.

However, the system prompt popped up in time: Sorry, the other party has blacklisted you...

"Hold the grass!"

Zhang Fan cursed and glanced at him, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"The thousand-year-old demon posted again?"

Zhang Fan looked at the homepage of [Thousand-Year-Old Monster] and found that he had recently updated a post. The time was 3:30 last night.

"You're still awake at 3:30? He's not afraid of dying from overwork."

Zhang Fan murmured softly, but saw the title of the post was "The Secret of the Five Elements of the Human Body, the Most Terrifying Practitioner"

I would like to start with the wonderful book Journey to the West. The fact that this book has become one of the four great classics is definitely not just a story about subduing demons and monsters and traveling to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

The person who wrote this book must be a master of the Dao of Alchemy, as many of the metaphors from Buddhism and Taoism in it are simply used effortlessly.

For example, the book introduces several methods of longevity, such as peaches, ginseng fruit, etc.

Eating these spiritual roots of heaven and earth can grant immortality and prolong life.

However, there is also a way to achieve immortality, which is the first choice of many monsters. After all, they cannot touch those spiritual roots of heaven and earth.

This method is to use virgin boys and girls.

In fact, this is also a Taoist metaphor.

In Taoist practice, the five internal organs of the human body all have different names and secret words. The liver is called "Wood Mother", the lungs are called "Golden Father", the spleen is called "Yellow Mother", the heart is called "Cai Girl", and the kidneys are called "Infant".

Therefore, the boys and girls here refer to the heart fire and kidney water.

This is because the Taoist practice of forming the elixir talks about the coming together of three parties, and these three parties are metaphorically represented by an infant, a chaste girl, and Huang Po.

The spleen is the Huang Po, which belongs to the earth in the five elements. Its functions are blood production, blood storage, and immunity, so it is used to transform all things.

At the same time, the spleen also represents the true meaning. Together with the young boy and girl, the three together can make the elixir.

Focus your mind on Dantian, balance water and fire, harmonize yin and yang, and the great elixir will be formed. This is the way to immortality.

The book of alchemy says: Huang Po acted as a matchmaker, and the baby and the girl were reunited. Water and fire complemented each other, and yin and yang combined, and when the work was done, they became Buddhas and immortals.

Therefore, for mortals to cultivate immortality, both boys and girls are indispensable.

"I have to say, although he is a liar, he does have real stuff." Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh.

"So how do we do it specifically?"

Zhang Fan continued reading, and this time there was no payment link, perhaps because he had been warned by the platform.

"The key lies in the word 'reverse'."

"The five internal organs of the human body are divided into five elements. If they flow without control, their essence and energy will be depleted and death will not be far away. The vitality will turn into killing. This is the root of death for the living."

"Life is death..." Zhang Fan murmured softly, as if thinking about something.

"The practice of Dan Dao is all about reversal. For example, the innate essence belongs to gold, the primordial spirit belongs to wood, and the conscious spirit belongs to water..."

“Metal and wood are the mothers of water and fire, but the Taoist practice of Yuanshen requires refining the innate Yuanjing from the consciousness spirit, which is the so-called [child-born mother], that is, the existence of retrograde.”

Seeing this, Zhang Fan looked thoughtful.

In fact, his [Southern and Northern Origins] is also a retrograde method, in which Kan and Li are swapped, using heart fire to burn kidney water, boiling essence and energy, nourishing the body, training true yang, and strengthening the spirit.

"The human body's life systems are all dependent on each other, so it is destined to be unable to live forever..."

"There is a method in this world that follows the principles of yin and yang and the five elements. It starts with the human body's life system and reverses all the five elements and five internal organs..."

Seeing this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but reveal a strange look.

Even his [Southern and Northern Origin] method only meant reversal, mobilizing the water and fire in the body. In fact, the body structure did not change at all, but... "If one practices according to this method, the life system and internal structure of such a person are no longer ordinary people."

"Is there such a method in this world!?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but reveal a strange look.

"This method has been passed down since ancient times. It is rare to see one or two of them in the world. If someone has mastered it, he will be feared by the world. If people of the same path encounter it, they must retreat three steps away..."

This post by the thousand-year-old demon is terrifying. It says that those who practice this method have a life structure that is completely superior to that of ordinary people. Even if a cultivator encounters one, the five elements in his body can be easily influenced, changed, or even controlled by him.

"The five elements are reversed, and those who go against the grain will become immortals, and those who are wrong will become kings..."

"This Dharma is called..."

"Five Elements Wrong King!!!"

Jiang Hu's voice came faintly from the side. He appeared out of nowhere like a ghost and stared at Zhang Fan's computer screen.

"You scared me..." Zhang Fan shuddered: "I'll put up anti-peeping film all over my body later."

"Who is this person? How dare he say such things on the Internet?"

Jiang Hu stared at Zhang Fan's computer screen and couldn't help but ask.

"The Five Elements King... have you heard of him?" Zhang Fan asked back.

"When I was practicing in Maoshan, I heard my elders mention it..."

"The five elements are reversed, and they can survive forever outside of the catastrophe. Those who go against the flow become immortals, and those who are wrong become kings. This is the [Five Elements Wrong King]."

"That is a legendary inner alchemy method." Jiang Hulu said in a deep voice.

"Legendary level!?"

"Yes, you know that the number nine has a very special meaning in Taoism. I heard from my master that since ancient times, there have been nine legendary inner alchemy methods in Taoism..."

"The Five Elements Wrong King is one of them."

Jiang Hu's words made Zhang Fan fall into silence. Such a secret was not mentioned in the [Taoist Secret Records].

"Since it is a legend, we can only regard it as a story. In reality, no one has ever been able to practice it... In fact, it is unknown whether these nine inner alchemy methods exist."

Jiang Hu shook his head. The nine legends were well-known, but if you asked who had seen them with their own eyes, there was no evidence.

However, when he was in Maoshan, his teacher once said that many Taoist arts and methods were derived from these nine chapters of alchemy.

After all, no one can succeed by practicing alone, so some people try the next best thing and comprehend various methods from it, and apply what they have learned to other situations.

"For example, there is an extremely evil martial art in Zhenwu Mountain called [Inner Demon Attraction], which is a method of cultivating thoughts to become demons and killing them to attain enlightenment..."

"This method is a great method passed down from the nine legendary [Holy Embryos of Gods and Demons]." Jiang Hulu said in a low voice.

"Is the Holy Fetus of Gods and Demons also one of the nine legends?" Zhang Fan asked.

"That's right." Jiang Hu nodded. "Also, the [Southern and Northern Sects] that you practiced is already a top-notch inner alchemy method, but it is only a branch of the [Five Elements Wrong King] lineage."

It is extremely difficult to practice the Southern and Northern sects. Looking around Zhenwu Mountain, no one practices this method except Zhang Fan. Once it is practiced well, over time, many changes will naturally occur in the body.

But compared with the complete [Five Elements King], such alienation is not worth mentioning.

"If you meet someone of the same descent, give way! Remember this!"

Zhang Fan seemed to be thinking about something, and his eyes subconsciously fell on the last sentence of the post.

"A thousand-year-old monster? The last sentence is nonsense. Who can meet it? Who can cultivate it?" Jiang Hulu couldn't help but complain.

The probability of this is even lower than winning the lottery.

“Why did he suddenly post such a post at this time?”

Zhang Fan was thoughtful. Ever since the other party asked him if he had dreamed of dragons and tigers, he always felt that although this thousand-year-old demon was hidden in the mist, his words and actions seemed to be very meaningful.

"Do you know him?" Jiang Hu asked casually.

"do not know."

Zhang Fan shook his head: "He blocked me."

"You harassed him? He can't be a woman." Jiang Hu guessed.

"A woman?" Zhang Fan subconsciously looked up at Jiang Lai who was not far away. At this moment, she was sleeping on the table, and she seemed not afraid of being discovered by the boss and having her salary deducted.

"It shouldn't be her."

Zhang Fan shook his head. The thousand-year-old demon was registered older than him, so how could it be Jiang Lai?

"correct……"

At this moment, Jiang Hu's voice brought Zhang Fan back to his senses.

"In a couple of days, you may have to go with me to deliver some goods."

"Where to send it?" Zhang Fan asked casually.

"Yinshan Xiong Family!"

……

Yujing City, Yinshan Xiong Family.

Candles were lit on both sides of the deep corridor, and the flames were dancing and burning.

"Xing Shao, why are you still so depressed?"

At the end of the corridor, Xiong Qianxing's face was covered with frost as he looked coldly into the depths of the corridor.

"Didn't you take out your anger on Xiong Ba and that kid yesterday?" Ming Chenxuan couldn't help but say.

"I asked you to check... Have you found it?" Xiong Qianxing seemed not to have heard me. His hands were wrapped in thick bandages, and black bloodstains were reflected.

"Mr. Shan said... this matter ends here."

Ming Chenxuan looked a little ugly and said, "Xing Shao, please don't make things difficult for me."

"He is too cautious." Xiong Qianxing gritted his teeth and said, "A powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Even if that kid..."

"never mind."

Xiong Qianxing couldn't help but shook his head when he thought of what happened in the Ghost Pond not long ago.

"Who entered the ancestral hall?"

He changed the subject, but there was still anger in his eyes.

Xiong Qianxing is indeed very popular nowadays.

"It's still that unlucky guy Xiong Ba..." Ming Chenxuan sneered.

Since he was not a direct disciple of the Xiong family, even he, a foreigner, was looked down upon.

“According to the rules of your Xiong family, non-direct disciples must go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors every three years. We are afraid that they will forget their duties.” Ming Chenxuan chuckled.

"Come on, let's go and give this cousin some advice." Xiong Qianxing's eyes darkened slightly. He was in urgent need of venting his pent-up emotions.

At this time, inside the ancestral hall.

Xiong Ba followed the rules, burned three incense sticks, and worshipped the ancestor respectfully.

In the quiet ancestral hall, with the smoke of incense curling and the faint flickering of flames, he was the only one there.

Although this is an important place of the Xiong family, on ordinary days, apart from the disciples paying homage, almost no one comes here.

"You came……"

At this moment, a faint voice resounded in Xiong Ba's mind.

"Who?"

Xiong Ba's expression changed slightly. He stood up suddenly and looked around. He was the only one in the empty ancestral hall.

"You have met your destiny..."

That faint voice resounded once more, and then, his body shook violently, his brain buzzed, and the scene before his eyes suddenly changed...

Black fog was spreading and surging, with faint light shining through. It seemed like there was a bottomless abyss and nothing could be seen clearly ahead.

"The inner view of the soul!?"

Xiong Ba's heart moved slightly. He knew that this was the inner scene of his own soul. He had experienced this once many years ago.

"We meet again."

The faint voice came from the fog.

"Evil spirit!?" Xiong Ba's expression changed slightly.

It was the same situation back then. The evil god taught him the art of saving the dead from the Taiyi Method, but he had not seen the other party's true appearance at that time.

Now, as the black fog surged, a figure seemed to be about to emerge.

"you……"

Xiong Ba's expression changed slightly, and his soul subconsciously retreated backwards.

He had heard long ago that the evil spirit suppressed by the clan was extremely extraordinary, extremely vicious and unrestrained.

A sense of fear arose spontaneously.

hum...

At this moment, the surrounding black fog surged wildly, and then slowly receded like a tide. Then, the ferocious god actually walked out directly and exposed himself in front of Xiong Ba.

"You!? How...how could it be you!?"

Xiong Ba looked at the figure in front of him with his eyes wide open. At this moment, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

"Zhang Fan?"
