Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 94: The bones, flesh, and skin are all gone, and the great way emerges from this
When Lu Cheng returned to the Huang family in Zixia Mountain, covered in blood and seriously injured, he was no longer able to hide his body, which scared Guan Linxiang and Xia Xixiao who came to pick him up.

Fortunately, although Lu Cheng was seriously injured, he looked cheerful and clear-headed. After making some instructions, he entered the Huang family's stone chamber to recuperate.

Set up a stone retreat chamber with the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array.

The young Taoist first cleared his mind, sat upright on the cushion, imprinted all the scenes he had seen deep in his heart, and then began to practice qigong to heal his wounds.

The bones in his body were damaged and his internal organs were displaced. If Lu Cheng had not built his foundation with the Five Qi and had not been strong at a young age, he might not have been able to fly back on his own and would have fainted during the journey.

However, when he started practicing at this moment, Lu Cheng felt that after a lot of bones in his body were damaged, his magic power was flowing smoothly and unimpeded. He didn't know if it was due to his clear and pure Taoist mind.

"Once all bones, flesh, and skin are gone, the great way will emerge from this!"

Having seen the fight between Jindan Zhenren, the young Taoist was in a strange state of mind. In addition, he was seriously injured. He subconsciously recited a passage from the blood nerve, and then took out the blood nerve from the ring:

The Blood and Nerve Sutra has explained the "essence and blood" of the Taoist three treasures of essence, energy and spirit to the extreme. Its understanding of the physical body far exceeds that of the medicine of the previous life and even the world of mystery in this life.

If Lu Cheng wants to heal his wounds without damaging his foundation, or even go one step further by turning harm into benefit, he must read and study this sutra. The sutra contains many scrolls that depict the meridians and skeletal diagrams of mortals and cultivators.

If you follow this method, not only can a seriously injured body recover perfectly, but your magic power will even become more powerful, improving your foundation in Taoism.

But it is also foreseeable that this kind of body is more suitable for the operation of the Blood God's magic power.

Excluding those methods that require the essence and blood of humans or even animals, Lu Cheng tried his best to find a method to nourish the body with magic power, even if it would take a little longer to recover.

"After all this, I am still affected by this blood nerve. If I don't want to be controlled by the magic, I have to be extra careful in the future."

Lu Cheng doesn't care about becoming a demon cultivator, but he doesn't want to be controlled by the magic power and turned into a blood demon. He just wants to use this sutra to increase his own cultivation foundation.

Throughout the Tongxuan Realm, countless people have been led into the devil's way by this blood nerve throughout the ages. Even if a righteous Jindan Zhenren gets this treasure, I'm afraid few people can resist looking at it, even if they know they will be bewitched by it and fall into the devil's way.

He turned into a bloody shadow, roamed the world, devoured everyone, and human skin fell wherever he passed.

Lu Cheng is a Taoist cultivator, possessing such supreme techniques and precious Taoist books, it is impossible for him to resist reading and practicing them, but Lu Cheng also does not want to lose himself. He wants to explore the true meaning of the founder of the first generation of "Blood Nerve", the Taoist immortal who created this scripture. The Taoist priest probably never thought that the scripture he left behind would have such far-reaching consequences.

The Way of Blood is certainly one of the orthodox ways in this world, but when a cultivator practices and studies this way, he will be overwhelmed by all kinds of desires, his mind will be disturbed, and he will find it difficult to control himself. It can be said that the higher the way, the higher the devil, and it is too easy to lead people into the devil.

…………

The pursuits of the millions of cultivators in the Tongxuan Realm are not the same for everyone.

After all, not everyone can hope to achieve immortality. Most of the cultivators can only stop at a certain stage in their lifetime and cannot make any further progress.

Those who have the chance to embark on this path but stop halfway have to put their energy into other aspects in order to have something to rely on, thus various pursuits have emerged.

Some desire to rule the world, some enjoy power in the world, some are obsessed with love between men and women, some are depraved and give themselves to endless killing... and the list goes on.

Bai Hongzi was one of them. He was originally just a disciple of a small talisman sect who was not highly regarded by others.

Because he had some talent in drawing talismans, he was exploited by the sect and made talismans day and night.

However, because the sect promised to give him a foundation-building pill, allowing him to break through to the foundation-building realm once, Bai Hongzi endured all the hardships during those years:
"Just hold on a little longer and you'll be good to go until you build your foundation."

"Once I complete the foundation building, I will be the elder of the sect. I can enjoy a few years of peace and quiet and have more resources."

Until this only thought was replaced by the granddaughter of a sect elder. That night Bai Hongzi completely let go of everything.

He kidnapped the granddaughter of the sect elder, took her essence, and then killed her. That night, Bai Hongzi's magic power and energy were in chaos, but he did not go crazy. Instead, he broke through to the foundation-building stage:
The Tao is fair. Those decades of hard work in drawing talismans are not for the sake of making wedding dresses for others. Your ability is in you and no one can take it away.

On that day, Bai Hongzi killed all his fellow disciples who came to hunt him down and wandered around the world.

If the matter ended here, it would be repaying kindness with kindness and taking revenge with hatred. Although Bai Hongzi killed his fellow disciples, he still felt satisfied with his revenge.

But he should never have indulged in the feeling of raping women. For a hundred years, this bad guy has been practicing and committing countless evil deeds. It was only because he was extremely cautious and never stayed in one place for a long time that he was not captured and killed.

Luoxia City, in a dark basement.

Cells were built one by one, and young women were lying on the hay with confused looks on their faces until Bai Hongzi pushed the door and walked in.

The women just regained their spirits and rushed to the iron railings, stretching out their hands towards Bai Hongzi.

"Give me the pill, give me the pill, and I will sleep with you..."

"Master, please don't go, Master, please have mercy on me."

The middle-aged Taoist priest ignored these vulgar women and walked to the back of the prison, where he saw a young woman tied up with iron chains with collars on her arms and neck, making it impossible for her to move.

Her long hair hung down and she breathed heavily. She felt as if countless ants were crawling and biting her body from inside out.

"Hehehe, my little beauty, it's time to take your medicine. You'll feel better after taking it. Hahahahahaha"

An hour later, Bai Hongzi left the dungeon and turned back into the dull, silent and taciturn owner of the talisman shop.

"I have lived here for more than half a year. It's time to get ready to leave. As for these bitches..." Bai Hongzi's eyes flashed coldly. The reason why he could wander around for many years was because he never left any traces behind.

However, today, when he was running the talisman shop, a pair of beautiful sisters walked past his door: the elder sister was gentle and the younger sister was lively, both of them were beautiful and eye-catching.

Bai Hongzi's eyes were fixed for a moment, but fortunately, he was not the only one who showed this expression at that time.

"The niece of the old lady of the Huang family in Zixia Mountain is really beautiful. I heard that in the past few months, people from the Gu family and the Bai family have come to propose marriage, but they were all rejected by the old lady of the Huang family. It's really a good girl that hundreds of families are seeking!"

"The Huang family? Didn't they say someone was kidnapped from their family as well, and it was quite a big commotion at the time?"

"The matter has been resolved. It was the evil cultivators from Wandering Soul City who practiced evil magic. Those people have already been crushed to ashes by the Huang family."

"So this is ah."

Looking at the figures and appearance of the two sisters, Bai Hongzi felt that all the ice water in his body was about to turn into essence/water.

Intellectually, he knew that this trip was dangerous and he shouldn't do it.

but……

"They are just two juniors in the Qi training stage. Do it again, do it again! Just once will be enough!"

It is exactly: "Losing one's will and being mad will stir up one's heart, and one will be unable to control oneself and run into a disaster. If one's heart is controlled by desire, one will die under the red silk skirt."

"There's something wrong with that talisman shop owner just now!"

Xu Hanxiang and Xu Xinyu were walking along the same street when Xu Hanxiang suddenly frowned slightly and said this.

In the past six months, in order to lure out that evil and lecherous thief, the sisters have of course been traveling around and even neglecting their spiritual practice.

But it was really fun to play.

"what happened?"

Xu Xinyu asked doubtfully, she didn't see the problem, but she knew her sister would never speak without a purpose.

"That person hid his powers very well, but because they were so good, they were almost similar to me."

Xu Hanxiang's earth sword magical power is concealment. The flying sword can be concealed so that it cannot be captured by spiritual consciousness. After practicing to a high level in the future, he can control the flying sword to be elusive and extremely sharp.

"Then let's go capture him."

"Hey, he is just hiding his cultivation, and we don't have any evidence. Let's call Senior Brother Lu and the others first. I don't think this person would just happen to leave Luoxia City in the past few days."

That night, Xu Hanxiang and Xu Xinyu stayed at the Luoxia City Inn. They sent a communication talisman to the Huang family, and then continued to travel around the city as usual the next day.

Seven days later, the two sisters had a great time and returned to the Huang family from Luoxia City.

Because the two girls were born beautiful and had good cultivation, they were naturally accompanied by the younger generations of several nearby immortal cultivation families when they went out to play.

However, none of these people have reached the Foundation Establishment stage. These youngsters who are protected by their families are all looked down upon by Bai Hongzi.

At this moment, the only people Bai Hongzi cared about were the pair of sisters. Hiding in the dark, when his eyes rested on Xu Hanxiang, a flame started burning in the old Taoist's heart.

Time passed little by little.

Finally, when the sun was setting, the group of people who were sightseeing in the mountains and rivers finally arrived at the ambush site arranged by Bai Hongzi in advance.

The youngsters near the spiritual vein of Zixia Mountain were still talking and laughing. Among them, a young woman named He said with a smile:
"Hanxiang, Xinyu, what kind of husband are you going to find in the future?"

Hearing this, Xu Hanxiang smiled but said nothing.

Xu Xinyu blushed and raised her face, saying:
"He must be a man like my senior brother, who is proficient in swordsmanship and has swept the world."

"Hahahaha, Xinyu doesn't blush."

Everyone present laughed: He is proficient in swordsmanship and has swept the world. Do you think your senior brother is a disciple of the Huoyun Mansion, a lineage of sword immortals from one of the eight top sects in the world?
But no one cared about it. In the Tongxuan Realm, which little girl from an immortal cultivation family had not dreamed of marrying a Jindan Zhenren when she grew up?

And she can't be a concubine. She must be someone who has practiced purity and asceticism for hundreds of years, kept her virginity pure for me, and then, when she sees me, she would fall in love with me to death and would not marry anyone else.

This kind of vernacular novel is very popular among little girls.

But at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly rushed out from the dense forest on one side.

He brandished the thunder whip in his hand and attacked suddenly with deliberate intent, grasping the timing just right and his attack was fierce!

Bang bang ahhh.

The explosions and screams caused by the thunder whip merged into one. Although Bai Hongzi had no intention of killing anyone, he did not hold back.

The younger generations of the families living near the spiritual vein of Zixia Mountain, both men and women, fell one after another.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Hongzi changed his hand gestures and spit out a white mist dragon towards the sisters Xu Hanxiang and Xu Xinyu:
Soul-locking smoke.

This is a combination of talismans and the art of elixirs. Even if you don't breathe while enveloped in it, the medicinal power will penetrate into the blood through the skin, seal the meridians and lock the soul, causing the person to fall into a coma.

"elder sister!"

The little girl seemed to want to protect her sister and held the sword in front of her body, but the white smoke blew away her willpower and she fell backwards with her eyes rolled back.

But just when Bai Hongzi felt relieved and thought he had succeeded.

Behind Xu Xinyu, a sword light pierced like smoke and mist, seemingly without any worldly air, but the chill hidden in it still made Bai Hongzi's scalp chill:
"No, her cultivation!"

At this moment, the biting coldness of the sword light suddenly subsided, as if even the tip of the heart was frozen.

"This is a trap!"

Xu Hanxiang used all her strength to strike with the sword, but instead she stabbed a phantom that suddenly disintegrated.

Bai Hongzi suddenly soared into the sky with layers of phantoms, and then his body suddenly fell diagonally into the dense forest.

Bai Hongzi is an expert in talismans, escape techniques, and even meticulous thinking, so he has been able to survive until now. He used talismans to break Xu Hanxiang's swordsmanship, and escape techniques to escape from danger. At the same time, he has also planned a retreat route. As long as he can escape from here, he can escape from here!

"Death!"

With a clang, the sword light became brighter in the dense forest.

Guan Linxiang and Xia Xixiao attacked: the afterglow turned into a red cloud, the white rainbow became a beautiful sight, the clouds were rising and the bright clouds were rich, and all the deadly moves in the Fire Cloud Mansion's Chiji Sword Technique were displayed.

In particular, Guan Linxiang's flying sword was covered with layers of sword shadows, which increased its lethality.

"Thieves, suffer death!"

The Huang family's current ancestor, Madam Huang, also came. She threw the silver cane in her hand, which turned into an old coiled dragon, and attacked Bai Hongzi with the sword light.

"now!"

Bai Hongzi cursed inwardly and at the same time used a talisman. In an instant, his figure rushed in all directions, and it was truly full of illusions.

Guan Linxiang's flying sword and Madam Huang's Panlong crutch both lost their Qi lock in an instant. Although the sword rainbow and silver dragon also wiped out some phantoms, more phantoms rushed past.

Bai Hongzi has been wandering around for many years. If he had not studied hard and mastered the art of talismans, he would have died long ago.

"Hahahahahaha!"

The two sides passed each other and laughed happily. Bai Hongzi wrapped his body in escape light and rushed into the dense forest. According to the planned route, he would be able to escape soon. When the time comes, he will immediately go far away and no one will be able to catch him.

But at this moment, Bai Hongzi saw a pale and handsome young Taoist in the dense forest. He stood tall, leaning on a scabbarded long sword to support his body. He seemed to have suffered serious internal injuries. He coughed softly and suppressed it with his fist.

Behind this young Taoist is a cliff. If he escapes to there and flies down, no one can catch him.

"You sickly fellow, get out of my way!"

The two talismans in his hands flashed, and the thunder whip and phantom appeared in Bai Hongzi's hands again, showing that he used all his means.

But when the distance between the two sides is shortened to a certain extent:

The blue-purple sky is dotted with stars, and there is a bright silver moon hanging high in the sky.

Bai Hongzi felt vaguely that he had entered a strange world, including himself, the small lake, the flowers and the bright moon.

"The heart is like still water, like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water!"

The extreme weakness of the physical body made his spiritual awareness surge, and the internal energy and magic power circulated unimpeded. Therefore, when Lu Cheng tried, he actually combined the sword intent and the sword heart into one strike.

He himself, the small lake, the flowers, the bright moon, and the blue-purple starry sky all cracked and then shattered. What appeared before Bai Hongzi's eyes was the setting sun and the blood-red sunset.

He found himself lying on the grass in the forest. He wanted to get up but found that he couldn't sit up. He looked down and saw that his waist was on this side, while his waist was on the other side several feet away.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……"

The extreme fear made Bai Hongzi scream.

“The sword’s will becomes a force that cuts through the mind, the sword’s heart is clear and breaks the illusion. Who are you? Who are you? Ahh ...

In fact, at this moment Bai Hongzi didn’t want to ask who Lu Cheng was. He was just venting his fear.

As a rapist, the wisest choice after being caught is to die immediately.

But Bai Hongzi's mind had been broken by Lu Cheng just now, and he simply couldn't muster the courage to commit suicide.

In the next hundred years, he will always regret his choice.

At this moment, Guan Linxiang and Mrs. Huang from the Huang family had already flown over. Seeing Bai Hongzi's miserable condition, they both breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

The next step was to subdue the mad Bai Hongzi, then go to his residence in Luoxia City, open the secret room, and rescue the poor female cultivators who had been abducted by him.

"It's really damnable. For his own selfish desires, he has harmed so many innocent women."

Seeing the old lady Huang holding the unconscious Huang Huiqian and crying, Xu Hanxiang and Xu Xinyu both felt sad.

Especially Xu Xinyu cursed in a low voice, hating herself for not being able to stab the rapist a few more times.

"Don't worry, Bai Hongzi is not dead and has fallen into the hands of the Huang family. The Tongxuan Realm has too many ways to torture people, such as the method of poisoning people, the blood-fertilizing technique, and the lamp oil technique. With the cruelty of that old lady Huang, she will never let Bai Hongzi go without torturing him for decades."

"Cough cough..."

When Lu Chengyan said this, he couldn't help but cough slightly.

"Brother Lu, are you okay?"

Seeing this, Xu Hanxiang asked with concern, and the others present also showed concerned looks.

"It's okay, just take a few days to recover."

The matter of Luoxia City was finally successfully resolved. After the five people from Huoyun Mansion paid the balance of the money to the Huang family, they returned to Huoyun Mansion.

During this half-year trip, they earned a total of about 160,000 spirit stones. Lu Cheng took half of it, and the other four people shared 80,000 spirit stones. Guan Linxiang, Xia Xixiao, Xu Hanxiang, and Xu Xinyu were already extremely satisfied.

Although Lu Cheng didn't care about spirit stones, being able to watch a battle between two True Person Realm cultivators had a profound impact on him, which was incomparable to any amount of spirit stones.

A few days later, the group returned to Huoyun Mansion and reported to the sect what had happened.
