Weird Cultivation: I am the Yellow-skinned Taoist Master

Chapter 339 Leave the Nine Netherworld Lamp Behind! (6k words, 1.2 words total)

"Collect it from me!"

With Chen Huangpi's command.

The sword energy cage instantly contracted, directly capturing Xuan Yangzi.

Seeing how terrifying Chen Huangpi's methods were, especially the soaring spiritual fire that made his scalp tingle, Xuan Yangzi immediately had the idea of ​​escaping.

For some reason, this Chen Huangpi refers to the spiritual fire as the life fire.

The key is that one's own spiritual fire can only illuminate three feet.

Chen Huangpi is like the sun; it seems that if he wanted to, illuminating the entire Ganyuan would only be a matter of time.

"You want to leave too?"

Chen Huangpi's cold gaze fell upon Xuan Yangzi.

Wow…

The countless fruits borne by the demonic tree once again broke free from the cage of sword energy.

"stop it now!"

Xuan Yangzi shouted, "Chen Huangpi, if you keep using your methods like this, those ghostly things will learn them. Then they'll use their own methods against you, and there will be no turning back!"

Chen Huangpi wouldn't listen at all.

Because he wasn't familiar with Xuan Yangzi, he couldn't tell which was real and which was fake.

Therefore, no matter what he says, he won't believe it, taking it as a way of fooling himself.

The brass oil lamp beside him and Du Rugui were filled with emotion at that moment.

At the critical moment, Chen Huangpi arrived.

And they even created some kind of life-threatening fire.

This is really a great thing.

As long as it can illuminate all directions, there's no need to fear those ghostly things hiding in the shadows.

"Wait, clan head, what are you doing?"

"Chen Huangpi, I'm the real deal!"

"Whether it's true or false, we'll talk about it once you're inside my sword energy cage."

Chen Huangpi is now someone who believes in everyone, yet also someone who believes in no one.

Soon, four sword energy cages landed in front of Chen Huangpi.

One lamp, one person, two Taoist priests.

The four sword-energy cages were just enough to trap him completely.

Chen Huangpi looked at Du Rugui first.

Du Rugui felt extremely uncomfortable: "Chen Huangpi, I know you must have been fooled by the fake us, but Huang Er and I are the real ones, and we were fooled too."

Chen Huangpi calmly asked, "How many chairs do you have at home?"

"How would I know?"

Du Rugui was stunned, and suddenly said, "Wait, although I don't know the exact amount, it must be a mix of whole and broken pieces."

"Ah, very good."

Chen Huangpi nodded, but did not release Du Rugui.

He then looked at the brass oil lamp.

The latter said angrily, "Family member, it's one thing if you don't believe Old Man Du, but you don't even believe me! You've hurt me deeply!"

Chen Huangpi, however, didn't care about that.

He tried to control the brass oil lamp in front of him using dog-raising techniques.

As a result, the method had no effect; it only operated within my body, as if it were blocked by some kind of force.

So he said, "Huang Er, you are actually Huang Yi. My master told me that."

"Are you sure that's what the abbot said?"

"I am sure."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The brass oil lamp jumped up and down, angrily saying, "Master, are you senile? How could I be Huang Yi? It's more like I am him."

"But that's what Master said."

"His opinion doesn't count!"

Chen Huangpi nodded, already having a general idea in mind.

At this moment, Du Rugui also realized what was going on.

This is to determine whether they and others are real or fake.

Xuan Yangzi sneered, "It's useless. These ghostly things are connected to each other. Using the method you saw through earlier is meaningless."

Chen Huangpi tilted his head: "How do you know I saw through the truth using this method before?"

Xuan Yangzi said, "Because you are all alone."

The meaning of this statement is already very clear.

If Chen Huangpi is accompanied by someone else, it means they haven't seen through the disguise of those ghostly things yet.

vice versa.

The other Xuan Yangzi asked, "Chen Huangpi, what's wrong with your life fire?"

"you ask me?"

Chen Huangpi frowned and said, "Isn't this the life-giving fire of your Jietian Sect?"

"..."

Xuan Yangzi's expression suddenly became interesting, and he couldn't help but say, "My Jie Tian Sect has never had any life fire technique. The spiritual fire technique I have is obtained from Du Rugui."

He had previously witnessed a fake Chen Huangpi chasing after Du Rugui.

I obtained this method after rescuing him.

Afterwards, Du Rugui died from his serious injuries.

"There is no such method in Bailingtian."

Du Rugui said, "At least I have never heard of any spiritual fire."

At this moment, Chen Huangpi was filled with extremely bad thoughts.

Just then, the eerie voice of the vengeful ghost rang out.

"So, that Taoist priest was actually a fake too."

"No wonder his memory always seems a bit hazy, and he only vaguely recalls specific places."

"So it seems that these ghostly things are meant to make people practice this strange fire magic."

This was something the vengeful spirit hadn't anticipated.

Because even as the spirit of the Soul-Hooking Book, it couldn't distinguish between the real and fake Taoist priests.

Such a change is truly bizarre and terrifying.

Xuan Yangzi suddenly realized the truth.

He turned and glared at his other self with resentment, gritting his teeth as he said, "Tell me, what kind of technique is this fire magic? Why can't it be extinguished?"

Xuan Yangzi sneered, "You counterfeiter really knows how to turn the tables. You ask me? I'd like to ask you the same question."

Chen Huangpi, who was standing to the side, was completely bewildered.

Most importantly, he hadn't noticed before, and now, trying to extinguish this life-threatening fire, he found that he couldn't do it no matter what.

Aside from that, I didn't feel anything was wrong.

"You two shut up."

Chen Huangpi's Void-Piercing Divine Sword emitted a threatening sword cry, and then he looked at Du Rugui.

Du Rugui's previous answer was reasonable.

But as Xuan Yangzi said, the same method can only be used once.

This is why he didn't release Du Rugui immediately.

"Old Du, I have a way to find out if you are really you."

"At this point, you may do as you please."

"it is good!"

Chen Huangpi, holding the Void-Piercing Divine Sword, walked up to Du Rugui.

Then, he suddenly sprang to his feet, his face contorted with murderous intent.

With a clang!
The Void-Piercing Divine Sword, like a rainbow piercing the sun, directly pierced Du Rugui's heart.

The latter was shocked and looked at Chen Huangpi in disbelief.

"why?"

"Because I can't tell if you're real or fake, I have no choice but to kill you."

Chen Huangpi sighed: "I'm sorry, Old Man Du, I will remember you after you die. I will burn incense for you on every festival and I will even set up two memorial tablets for you."

"I really have no other choice, I hope you can understand me."

"Understand my ass!"

Du Rugui coughed up blood and pointed at Chen Huangpi with two fingers, trembling: "Since you can't tell the difference, why don't you just keep me locked up? I haven't lived enough yet!"

Chen Huangpi shook his head and said, "No, if I don't kill you, and another ghostly thing appears that looks like you, it will know even more, and I will be even less able to distinguish between the real and the fake."

"However, I can grant you one wish before I die."

"How about we send your remains back to your brother?"

"I'm about to die, why should I be thinking about what will happen after I'm gone?"

Du Rugui felt like he was about to die. The sword was devouring his life force. He felt helpless and unwilling. He neither understood nor approved of it. But Chen Huangpi had done it anyway, so what could he do?
He could only grit his teeth and say, "One more sword!"

"To this side."

Du Rugui pointed to the other side of his chest: "Don't poke it off-center, make sure it's symmetrical, otherwise I won't die in peace."

Chen Huangpi smiled upon hearing this: "Okay, I promise you."

Having said that, he drew his sword and stabbed.

However, this time, it didn't hit the spot Du Rugui was pointing to; it went a little off.

"Oops, I missed!"

Du Rugui's face flushed red instantly, and he spat out blood, saying resentfully, "How could you miss like that? Chen Huangpi, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

He was filled with resentment!

The next second!
A vibrant life force then surged forth from the sword.

Du Rugui was stunned, and immediately felt his injuries heal instantly.

Not only that, but even some of the hidden injuries in his body have completely disappeared.

The sword energy cage that had trapped him also disappeared.

Du Rugui looked at Chen Huangpi with a complicated expression: "In your attempt to distinguish between truth and falsehood, you might as well just stab me to death!"

He genuinely had a suicidal urge.

Not only did they stab him, but they deliberately stabbed him off-target.

Although the wound has healed.

But Du Rugui would never forget that just thinking about it made him feel like he was going to collapse.

Chen Huangpi said seriously, "Actually, I'm only now confirming that you are you. If you hadn't reacted this way, I would have cut off your head immediately."

"Hehe, then you'd better cut it in half. That way, I'll be split in two, and I'll die a worthy death."

Du Rugui was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at his opponent.

Seeing this, the brass oil lamp standing nearby could no longer sit still.

"Family, we don't need this method anymore, do we?"

"You can't kill me!"

"My lamp body is much sturdier than Dongxu's."

The brass oil lamp was telling the truth. For a long time at Jingxian Temple, besides being Chen Huangpi's playmate, it was also a tool for the abbot and the second abbot to grind their teeth.

in some sense.

The body of the dried yellow peel is not much more sturdy than the lamp body.

Chen Huangpi sighed: "Huang Er, this is what's troubling me."

The brass oil lamp said, "You're troubled, but I'm troubled too. What if you're a fake? Rather than you testing me, I'd rather test you."

"You still have this ability?"

"Of course, I only need one sentence to tell if you're real or fake."

"Listen carefully, when you were a child..."

Boom!
Chen Huangpi's expression changed drastically. He smashed the sword energy cage with a punch, causing the brass oil lamp to roll its eyes.

"I...I haven't finished speaking yet..."

"No need to say anything more, I believe you're genuine!"

Only a genuine brass oil lamp knows about this dark history of aged huangpi.

And from beginning to end.

Chen Huangpi never let the brass oil lamp say it.

Naturally, no such thing could know.

The brass oil lamp, its eyes glazing with anger, said, "Family member, is this really necessary? You used the Shadow of Yama's fist technique in that punch, you don't actually want to kill me, do you?"

"We're family!"

"Huang Er, you've misunderstood."

Chen Huangpi's expression remained unchanged: "We are family, how could I want to kill you?"

As for Xuan Yangzi, who was trapped in the sword energy cage to the side...

Xuan Yangzi's unease grew stronger.

Chen Huangpi is not familiar with me.

In other words, he actually couldn't tell whether he was himself or not.

Thinking of this, he looked at the imposter beside him. Coincidentally, the latter was also looking at him.

next second...

A sword aura slashed through.

The imposter was beheaded on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, lush green bamboo shoots grew on its body, devouring it in the blink of an eye and turning it into a skeleton.

Now Xuan Yangzi was somewhat at a loss.

"How did you know that the dried tangerine peel was fake?"

Why do you need to know?

Chen Huangpi looked at Xuan Yangzi as if he were an idiot: "Anyway, there are two of you here. If we kill the wrong one, then we kill the wrong one."

He didn't care whether Xuan Yangzi lived or died.

They're not one of our own.

If it dies, it dies. Besides, even if this ghost is killed, it behaves exactly like the person it transformed into, making it impossible to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Xuan Yangzi felt a deep chill in his heart.

He realized that Chen Huangpi had never even considered distinguishing between his real and fake self.

He's a complete killer!
Perhaps, before long, I too will be killed by it.

However, Chen Huangpi's strength is unusually strong.

Although his cultivation level appeared no different from before, the difference in his actions was earth-shattering, as if he had achieved a complete enlightenment from the inside out in just a few days.

Xuan Yangzi was unaware that although Chen Huangpi's cultivation level had not changed, he had fought Chen Daoxing to a standstill in that seemingly past memory, and his skills had become even more refined.

In terms of combat power, Chen Huangpi is currently invincible below the level of immortals.

"Dongxu did not absorb any immortal energy."

Chen Huangpi touched the blade of the Dongxu sword.

The latter responded to him, telling him that it had gained nothing.

Upon hearing this, Du Rugui pointed at Xuan Yangzi and said, "If that's the case, then he is the real one."

Chen Huangpi thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "I killed something that had transformed into Huang Er's appearance before. Dongxu didn't devour anything useful either. On the contrary, a lot of Qianzhenzi's essence was devoured."

Seeing this, Xuan Yangzi couldn't help but say, "Since you know I'm real, then let's work together and find a way to leave this place!"

Chen Huangpi smiled.

At the same time, the sword energy cage that had trapped Xuan Yangzi suddenly shone brightly.

Countless sword energies transformed into sharp blades without hesitation, directly slashing towards Xuan Yangzi.

Xuan Yangzi's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly touched the space between his eyebrows.

Boom!
The immortal energy within him erupted instantly, blocking all the sword energy.

But it's no use.

Because Chen Huangpi's Void-Piercing Divine Sword had already stabbed him at that moment.

Just one sword strike!
The barrier of celestial energy was pierced.

Xuan Yangzi was killed on the spot.

Then came the devouring ability of the Void-Piercing Divine Sword, which completely devoured Xuan Yangzi's soul, magic power, and immortal energy.

After doing all this.

Chen Huangpi patted the Void-Piercing Divine Sword.

The latter emitted a aggrieved sword cry, helplessly returning the immortal energy to Du Rugui.

Immortal energy is a very good source of sustenance for the Void-Piercing Divine Sword.

But it would never disobey Chen Huangpi's orders.

Because this sword was created for him.

"Well done!"

Du Rugui's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he immediately absorbed his immortal energy into his body.

In the blink of an eye, he seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

Not only did his gray hair turn black and shiny.

Even bodies that were originally suspended by the burial method and looked like corpses have become full of life.

"what!"

Chen Huangpi exclaimed in surprise, and suddenly saw that Xuan Yangzi's sleeve suddenly burst open, as if a space was hidden inside, and many messy things were about to be swept away by that space.

"It is the art of concealing one's inner world within one's sleeve."

Du Rugui quickly said, "The treasures on his body were stored using this magic. Now that he is dead, the magic will break, and these things will disappear into nothingness."

"Family member, watch me!"

The brass oil lamp let out a loud cry and immediately activated its Escape Divine Light.

Its speed was extremely fast.

It can go wherever light can reach.

Golden light flashed past.

Immediately afterwards, the brass oil lamp grew many arms, carrying a large pile of things, including pills, jade slips, clothes, and magical artifacts.

Then the space formed by the universe within the sleeve was completely annihilated.

“Old Du, don’t say I didn’t take care of you. Here, you worship the Myriad Spirits Nine Directions Furnace of the Heavenly Spirit.”

"The Nine-Directional Furnace of Myriad Spirits..."

Du Rugui took the small incense burner and quickly began to examine it.

He was a descendant of Bai Lingtian's disciples.

Although his family possessed many methods for worshipping the spirits of the heavens, without the Nine-Directional Furnace of Ten Thousand Spirits, he couldn't use them at all.

Because this thing is the core item for the disciples of Bailingtian to perform magic and communicate with spirits.

“It’s exactly the same as my brother’s furnace!”

Du Rugui said excitedly, "I never thought that coming to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation would actually be the right decision. It truly is a case of turning adversity into good fortune and turning misfortune into auspiciousness!"

Chen Huangpi chuckled and said, "Alright, Old Man Du, now that you've regained your immortal energy and have the Myriad Spirits Nine Directions Furnace, we really need you now."

"Don't worry, I've got it covered."

Du Rugui, his face flushed, laughed heartily, "Last time I only did one divination, and I was in pain for a long time. This time I can make up for it! Moreover, with this furnace, I can communicate with the spirits of this place!"

"Let me calculate what secrets this place holds!"

After saying that, he took out three copper coins and immediately tossed them into the air.

At the same time, the Myriad Spirits Nine-Sided Furnace, which he was holding in his other hand, also emitted faint wisps of blue smoke.

At the same time, an inexplicable aura enveloped him.

As the hexagram first appeared.

Du Rugui's face suddenly turned deathly pale.

Chen Huangpi asked, puzzled, "Old Du, is the divination result very bad?"

"Let's go! Let's go!"

Du Rugui was trembling all over, and said in terror, "This place is full of those ghostly things, hurry up and get out of here!"

The divination indicates that this place is a dead end.

The longer they stay, the less likely they are to leave.

"Where to go?"

"Go that way!"

Du Rugui pointed in the direction that the imposter had told Xuan Yangzi earlier.

This thing didn't lie to him after all.

"Huang Er!"

"The Divine Light of Escape!!!"

Even the brass oil lamp was frightened. It was the first time it had seen Du Rugui so terrified, unwilling to even explain himself. This was enough to prove how terrifying this place was, and that they had to leave as quickly as possible.

Golden light enveloped Chen Huangpi and Du Rugui.

Meanwhile, Chen Huangpi's so-called life-giving fire burned with unparalleled ferocity.

The light of the life-giving fire, combined with the divine light of the brass oil lamp, surged fiercely from one end of the abyss towards the other, just like the sun.

Only then did Du Rugui have the mind to explain.

"The reason we couldn't see anything before was because all we could see were those ghostly things!"

In fact, Du Rugui's explanation was not clear enough.

There were so many of those ghostly things that they formed an endless darkness.

If this darkness is water...

From the very beginning, we fell into the abyss.

Chen Huangpi and the others were already covered by the black water. Every inch of their skin was copied, and their every word and action was recorded, including their breath. In fact, they were inhaling these ghostly things.

Moreover, Du Rugui communicated with the spirits of this place.

The spirit he sensed.

It's bizarre...

"It seems I communicated with the wrong thing; that spirit doesn't seem to belong to our world."

As Du Rugui finished speaking, his face suddenly contorted in pain, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The blood was burning.

The immortal energy within him was also burning.

"I can't say, I can't say..."

Du Rugui said painfully, "Chen Huangpi, I've been attacked by the backlash! Quickly, pour your essence into my body, I need to erase this memory..."

At this point, he let out a groan that sounded inhuman.

"Energy, is that it? You can have as much as you want!"

Chen Huangpi grabbed Du Rugui's shoulder and poured his own vital energy into him.

He felt a raging fire burning within Du Rugui's body, threatening to incinerate him.

His own vital energy, like water, was instantly reduced to nothingness by the raging fire.

Rumble!
It was as if he had been stimulated.

The kidneys, liver, and heart within Chen Huangpi's body simultaneously trembled.

An endless stream of vital energy surged out like a floodgate being opened.

Soon, the backlash within Du Rugui's body was forcefully suppressed by the dosage.

"cut!!!!"

Du Rugui formed a strange hand seal and then slashed forward.

At the same time, Chen Huangpi saw something.

It was a blurry outline, strikingly similar to Du Rugui.

This is the spirit of Du Rugui.

The spirit made the same hand seal as Du Rugui and slashed down in the same way.

However, the one who was struck by the spirit was Du Rugui.

"call……"

Du Rugui breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes dimmed.

His head lolled to the side, and he fainted on the spot.

"This method of worshipping the spirit is really damn evil, no wonder it's called a charlatan."

The brass oil lamp couldn't help but curse, "Why didn't that old man Du hold on a little longer? He couldn't even finish his sentence. What kind of hellish place is Ganyuan?!"

Chen Huangpi said, "Huang Er, if he continues talking, he might really die."

With that, Chen Huangpi sent Du Rugui into the Book of Souls.

"Agui, keep a close eye on Old Man Du. If he's about to pass away, tell me immediately."

"Rest assured, Master, I will keep a close eye on him."

The Book of Souls can contain all things in the world.

But Chen Huangpi, the master of the contract, was the only one who couldn't get in.

Otherwise, he really has the urge to hide inside and avoid the outside world.

But at this moment.

The light emanating from the brass oil lamp suddenly stopped.

"Chen Huangpi, look ahead..."

The brass oil lamp was terrified, pointing ahead into the darkness where the light of the life-giving fire could not reach.

The darkness was writhing.

It's like a wall, behind which are figures that appear and disappear.

This scene was remarkably similar to the sight of the dead Taoist priests, including Xu Qingshan, that I had seen when I entered the old temple's scripture pavilion.

Chen Huangpi felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

"What are you going to do?"

"You can leave, but it has to stay."

One by one, eerie figures emerged from the darkness and stepped into the range of Chen Huangpi's life fire.

Some of those figures looked exactly like Chen Huangpi, while others resembled brass oil lamps, and still others looked like Du Rugui and the Taoists of the Jietian Sect.

At that moment, all these figures pointed at the brass oil lamp.

Chen Huangpi gritted his teeth and asked, "Why?"

"Because it is an immortal species!"

"what about me?"
