From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 15: The Magic of the Hanging Temple
"Wow..."

Countless white paper money fell from the sky, creating a chilling chill. Pale white prayer flags fluttered, their inscriptions ignited by flames. Graves and tombstones stretched far into the distance across the desolate land.

There was a fire rising in the black mist, accompanied by very faint crying sounds.

Little Hell is coming!
"Four people died..."

The golden pupils of the Black Cat Queen lit up as she jumped down from the wall. The small jade pendant tied with a red rope around her neck swayed gently. She took elegant and calm steps and began to clean up the battlefield after the fight.

She was attracted by the breath of death and came to this small river village, and then she spied on the entire process of the death of the Qi practitioner.

Chen Xuan follows him like a shadow.

The heart is activated, and the scene of the small underworld comes into view.

"This black cat... is a 'chimei'."

Chimei is one of the twenty-four ghosts and monsters.

It usually refers to old monsters that are transformed from the spirits of wild beasts in the mountains and swamps. The four-eyed god and bronze horse that Chen Xuan had met before are also a kind of demon in the strict sense, but they were born from ancient artifacts and their number is huge, so they are listed separately as ancient demons by Qi practitioners.

As for the latter two "魍魉" in "魍魉", they refer to monsters in mountains, swamps, trees, stones and other places.

"These three streams of immortal energy are too rotten to be seen... The young man used too much force."

Queen Black Cat walked over the miserable corpses on the ground with a slightly dissatisfied look on her face. She felt that the food had been wasted, and she walked towards the ruins of collapsed houses in the distance.

"This great monk's immortal energy is quite interesting. He comes from the Hanging Temple and has practiced magic tricks, so he has a touch of mountain and sea luck..."

Hanging Temple?
Chen Xuan was possessed by the eyes of the Black Cat Goddess, and when he heard her voice, his heart suddenly sank... It seemed that he had killed a Qi practitioner with an impressive background?
The Hanging Temple is a hidden sect of the ancient Chu State, not located in the Chiya City area. It is said that the mountain is inhabited by a group of ascetic monks who live on wind and dew, delving into Buddhism and ignoring worldly disputes.

This is a Qi-cultivating force that is not inferior to Qinglu Mountain!

"call out!"

at this time.

The Black Cat Goddess opened her mouth and took a breath, and a white light of immortal energy rose from the body of the big monk in the ruins, accompanied by a dim light clip, flashing in the air.

"The little white ape's magic trick... Qi penetrates the Purple Palace, passes through Lingxu and Tianfu acupoints, and reaches..."

In the silhouette, a large monk in a cassock, in a temple deep in the mountains, amidst towering ancient trees, overhears some profound magic trick...

So he fled down the mountain in panic, excited in his heart, and tried to practice, but his talent was too poor, and he was unable to get started for several years.

"I can't do it... Haha, the master from the Hanging Temple was right. My bones are too weak. I will never be able to cultivate the Golden Virtue White Qi in my lifetime!"

In the pouring rain, the big monk looked up and laughed angrily, his heart as dead as despair.

Greed led to a big mistake, and it was difficult for the monk to return to the mountain gate. He then wandered around the world, still stealing the name of the mountain gate. Later, he wandered to the remote area of ​​Red Crow City and became a hero in the world.

"The abbot turned out to be a traitor. Am I clearing the door for the Hanging Temple?"

Chen Xuan couldn't help laughing. He was not afraid of making enemies with others, but it would be better if they could live in peace.

Then, he saw a wisp of immortal energy suddenly fly out from the light film, running along a special trajectory in the air, gradually outlining a picture that looked like the outline of a human body.

"This is the Qi diagram of the Hanging Temple's [Little White Ape Magic Trick]!"

Chen Xuan was shocked and immediately cheered up, memorizing this Qi-circulating diagram in his mind.

"Roar!"

The snow-white immortal energy circled in the air, as if connected to some strange power. Suddenly, a huge white ape with a snow-white body and as big as a hill emerged, supporting the ground with its fists, and roaring to the sky with a ferocious face.

White ape!

"Something."

Chen Xuan watched in fascination, feeling that he had already understood some of the tricks that the great monk had been unable to master for years from this scene.

Doesn’t seem that difficult to learn?
"After a Qi practitioner dies, the magic tricks he practiced in his lifetime, which have been contaminated by his Qi, will be transformed in the Lesser Underworld."

Chen Xuan muttered to himself, as if he saw a bright road right in front of him... Doesn't it mean that if he takes a fancy to a magic trick in the future, he can just kill the holder and the magic trick will belong to him?

Killing one person makes you a thief, killing ten people makes you a demon, and killing ten thousand people makes you an immortal?
Once evil thoughts arise, the world suddenly seems wide.

"This is definitely the way for a great evil to rise."

Chen Xuan was shocked and felt that the idea that suddenly popped up in his mind was too extreme and not the right way.

"I'm not a bloodthirsty person...but if some people commit evil and seek their own death, then it's not my fault."

Chen Xuan had a resolute character and quickly put aside all distractions. He believed that his talent was already quite good and there was no need for him to deliberately seek shortcuts. He could just let things take their course.

The Black Cat Goddess looked up at the Xingqi Diagram for a long while, wrinkled her tender nose, and muttered to herself: "What kind of conspiracy are those crazy ascetic monks in the Hanging Temple plotting behind the scenes? They are so busy that they don't even care about their own magic tricks spreading to the secular world." Chen Xuan frowned when he heard this, feeling that he had heard a secret, and quickly pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

"Could it be that the evildoer still has his heart set on awakening Yonghe? They've all died long ago... The Hanging Temple would be better off supporting a living Buddha!"

The Black Cat Goddess sneered, "Stir it up! Stir up chaos in the world, tearing the Chu Kingdom apart. It would be great if all the Qi practitioners were dead! That would be a good time for the little underworld to have a good meal!"

Chen Xuan was shocked when he heard this. Wake up Yonghe?

The Zhongshan Jing says: There is a beast, which looks like an ape, with red eyes, red beak, and yellow body. It is called Yonghe. When it is seen, the country will be in great fear.

Those ascetic monks in the Hanging Temple were actually doing such a shocking thing in secret!

The Yonghe Giant Ape is a legendary giant beast that is on par with the ancient Chu State's phoenix. Once it is born, war will break out everywhere. The white energy of gold virtue will fill the heaven and earth, competing with the red energy of fire virtue emitted by the phoenix. Great terror will occur, and the ancient Chu State may really be divided into two because of this.

"The Little White Ape's magic tricks are a cultivation technique created by the Hanging Temple based on its research on Yonghe..."

Chen Xuan muttered to himself, and then decided that next time he met the monks from the Hanging Temple, he must stay away from them. Those ascetic monks were probably a bunch of lunatics.

Of course, he also knew in his heart that it was basically unrealistic for the Hanging Temple to try to wake up Yonghe. Moreover, the ancient Chu royal court, a behemoth that spanned 90,000 miles of territory, was not a mere idler and would never sit idly by and watch such a heinous act happen.

"call!"

Then, the Black Cat Goddess opened her mouth and swallowed the immortal energy that contained the monk's past, destiny and fate.

Chen Xuan had memorized the complete diagram of the magic trick at this time. Although he did not gain any benefit from the black cat during the descent of the small underworld this time, he unexpectedly discovered another wonderful use of the heart zhai, and obtained a magic trick to cultivate the golden virtue and white qi from it, which made the trip worthwhile.

After eating and drinking her fill, Queen Black Cat suddenly turned her head, and a hint of solemnity flashed across her golden light.

Chen Xuan was startled because he saw himself in her vision. At this moment, he had just experienced a battle and was now sitting on the steps in the yard with his eyes closed to rest.

"Why is she looking at me for no reason?"

The Black Cat Goddess looked at Chen Xuan, and even moved her limbs, walked directly in front of him, raised her head and looked at him carefully.

The cat's whiskers gently brushed against Chen Xuan's face...

"I was wrong last time, little thing, you're also hiding something fishy..."

A cold voice rang in Chen Xuan's ears, making him feel as if he was falling into an ice cellar. What did she discover?
A few days ago, Lady Black Cat was involved in the dispute in Liu Town caused by the "Yellow Millet Dream".

She had seen this ill-fated young man before. At that time, he had obtained a volume of the Twelve Spiritual Qi Breathing Methods, but it seemed that he did not practice it rashly.

He is now learning cat breathing...

Even though Chen Xuan adjusted his breathing rhythm immediately the moment the Black Cat appeared, his body had already undergone subtle changes in his breathing rhythm over a long period of time, and the Black Cat Queen still noticed a clue at this moment.

This was a very ancient breathing method that she was very familiar with, and it was only circulated in the underworld and a few other places.

"The Yellow Millet Dream has already appeared, so it's not surprising that you're another outlier. Someone made a bet in advance and provided you with a breathing method."

A bloodthirsty arc appeared on the corner of the Black Cat Lady's mouth: "The Peach Blossom Spring is about to fall from the sky. You'd better not die, otherwise, my secret will be revealed..."

Instead of being a good person, you learn to be a cat?

She couldn't understand and felt an indescribable shame... The person who secretly taught Chen Xuan the breathing method was really inhumane to ask people to learn this breathing method.

"call……"

Chen Xuan was immediately relieved. It turned out that Xuanmao had just discovered this matter. He had been mentally prepared and had secretly learned the Xuanmao breathing method. Now that he met the real owner, it was almost impossible to hide.

But he didn't expect that Xuanmao would think of such a mess of things.

The master behind the bet? Isn't it her?
The things in the underworld are not as scary as imagined. Chen Xuan has been in contact with them for a long time. When he looks at the black cat now, he feels that it has suddenly become less cold and mysterious and more approachable.

"I will watch you to death..."

Queen Black Cat uttered some harsh words and left the place quickly.

In the distant sky, black rain poured down like a waterfall, drowning everything in sight.

……

Soon after.

Chen Xuan ended his fast and opened his eyes in the courtyard.

"Little White Ape's tricks..."

He quickly recalled, deepened his impression, and then immediately began to practice according to the Xingqi diagram.
