Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 116 Chapter 115 Old Enemies (Updated, please support with monthly tickets)

"The good news is that the Ullambana Festival is about a month away, and Tiangu Temple is interested in using this opportunity to select talented people."

"Anyone under 20 years old, with perfect Qi and Blood, or under 30 years old, with perfect Muscle and Limb Realm, are welcome to sign up and participate."

"Not only will the abbots of the various halls in Tiangu Temple be in attendance, but high-ranking officials such as Governor Bai will also be there to observe."

"If you perform well, you can skip the Arhat Hall selection and enter the Dharma Academy directly, and be awarded mid-grade martial arts."

"If you are lucky enough to be favored by the chief elders, you can even become a disciple of the sect and be taught top-grade martial arts."

"It is said that the abbot of Tiangu Temple, Master Dezheng, may also be present. This is a good opportunity for Sanlang, Yue'er, and Ye Chengxiao."

After Cui Wei said this, Zhang Yuelu and Ye Chengxiao's eyes lit up.

The so-called Arhat Hall is where introductory martial arts are taught, and most of the people there are lay disciples who have reached the realm of qi, blood, and muscles.

After entering the Arhat Hall, in addition to practicing martial arts, one also has to deal with miscellaneous affairs in the temple, making it difficult to concentrate on practicing martial arts, so it is also called the Outer Courtyard.

The Dharma Academy is also known as the Inner Academy, which teaches at least mid-level martial arts, and there are many young talents at the internal organ level.

Generally speaking, only those who have spent at least one year in the Arhat Hall and passed the assessment can enter the Dharma Academy.

Going further up, they were accepted as disciples by the chief masters and taught the best martial arts.

At present, the affairs of Taiyi Zhenren and Louguan Dao were actually known only by Li Cunxiao and Zhang Lishi.

For Zhang Yuelu and Ye Chengxiao, it would naturally be a good thing if they could rely on the Ullambana Festival to skip the one-year selection period in the Arhat Hall and directly enter the Tiangu Temple to learn mid-level martial arts.

As for the issue of studying martial arts simultaneously, Zhang Lishi also told them that it was something to be considered after entering Tiangu Temple.

"Then what's the bad news?"

Li Cunxiao was not too happy too soon, and Cui Wei sighed when he heard this.

"The bad news is, I saw the deacon candidates responsible for registration for this Ullambana Festival on the notice board posted at the city gate."

"One of them was called Yuanjue."

Zhang Lishi took over the conversation at this time.
"His common name is Wei Jun. He was my enemy back in Tiangu Temple."

Ye Chengxiao was a little anxious when he heard this, "Master, do you have a big feud with that person?"

"I beat his own brother to death."

Ye Chengxiao closed his mouth silently.

"To be able to become a deacon in the temple, Yuanjue must have reached at least the Huangting realm."

Zhang Lishi did not stop pouring cold water on him.

"If you go and sign up, he'll find out who you are and will definitely try to trip you up."

"Even if he didn't do anything shady when registering, I'm afraid he might do something shady afterwards."

"There's still more than a month until the Ullambana Festival. If your identity is revealed too early, it will be disadvantageous to you."

Seeing that everyone was a little depressed, Zhang Lishi turned to comfort them:

"But don't worry too much. The other Senior Brother Yuanhua who was in charge of registration was a good friend of mine back then."

"I'll pay him a visit tomorrow. Even if he doesn't care about our friendship, it won't hurt for the escort agency to spend some money."

"Anyway, no matter what, at least find someone in the temple to recommend you, so that I can feel at ease."

"Well, it's getting late. You've been so tired from the journey. You should all go back and rest."

Then everyone dispersed and returned to their rooms.

Although Mu Cha was in good spirits, he had been traveling all day after all. After washing up, he fell asleep quickly.

Li Cunxiao is still in good spirits.

As his realm improved, he had long since left behind the ordinary people's routine.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Li Cunxiao once again stimulated his qi and blood, whipped the bull-headed ghost, and worked hard on the acupoints beside his nostrils.

Originally, he was not too worried about the escort agency's affairs. Zhang Lishi had money, military power, and a hidden treasure of demon flesh.

If you just want to gain a foothold in Songzhou City, then there is no problem in offering meat seeds in exchange for shelter.

But today in Tiangu Temple, the master's former enemy has become a deacon.

Li Cunxiao had no doubt about his talent. Within a year, his internal organs had reached full maturity. With such potential, he had no problem finding a disciple.

The key is more than a month before becoming a disciple, and the key is to register first and get the opportunity to meet the top management of Tiangu Temple directly.

Otherwise, if a genius is strangled in the cradle, he will just be a dead person, no different from other corpses rotting in the ground.

"Now I use five different demon heads to refine the five internal organs separately. The effect is far stronger than one demon head refining the five internal organs together."

“Below the Huangting, even if the internal organs are perfect, as long as I have the Dragon Sparrow Sword in my hand, I can win the battle.”

"Before the Ullambana Festival, at least we can refine our lungs."

"But the kidneys have twenty acupoints on the ears and the front and back genitals. It would be quite time-consuming. Even if I used the vajra, I'm afraid it would be too late."

"But if you want to protect yourself, it's almost enough."

"What I need now is a truly superior martial art, preferably one that can cover all the blessings I currently possess."

"This will not only ensure Huang Ting's future, but also ensure that the decline in combat power will not be too outrageous."

While strolling out in the afternoon, Li Cunxiao also found out a lot of information.

For example, most of the leaders of the forces in the city are only at the Huangting realm, and very few can reach the fifth realm.

I don’t know whether it was Tiangu Temple’s intentional suppression, or because it involved top-grade martial arts, or because this realm itself was dangerous.

In short, unless Li Cunxiao takes the initiative to provoke someone, he will be absolutely safe as long as he is in the state capital and faces the internal organs warriors.

Even if he encountered a Huangting warrior, with his speed, escaping would not be a problem.

Unfortunately, although there is no curfew in the city market, the four city gates will be closed at night.

Li Cunxiao saw the soldiers and generals guarding the city from afar in the afternoon, and the leader was a Huangting warrior.

He could get out, but the horse could not.

"It seems that we can only go to Pingdingshan to find out what's going on tomorrow."

"Master Taiyi, is that strange wind thing a magic treasure?"

"If so, the magic treasure can defeat the Huangting warrior without human control."

No sleep for one night.

The next day, Zhang Lishi went out early in the morning with gifts to visit his former senior brother Yuanhua.

Li Cunxiao naturally planned to take this opportunity to go to Pingdingshan to find out about the strange wind, but he did not set off immediately.

During this period of time, he has become the second backbone of the group besides the chief escort leader.

Leaving your hometown will inevitably make you feel anxious and uneasy.

He expressed his condolences to the escorts and their families and gave them some caring instructions.

Especially Ye Chengxiao and Qin Yu, as they are his team members, of course they have to be taken good care of.

Qin Yucai's blood circulation was small, and the escort agency's Tiger Demon Fist was enough for him to practice. As long as he had money, he had nothing to worry about.

But Ye Chengxiao has now reached the third level of practice, and when he talked with Li Cunxiao, he couldn't help but show some worry.

"Brother, you are incredibly talented. Even if Senior Sister Zhang and I are rejected, you will definitely be able to enter the inner courtyard of Tiangu Temple."

"Junior brother has full confidence in me," Li Cunxiao shook his head and smiled.

After comforting everyone, he gave Mu Cha instructions on today's reading and martial arts lessons.

Li Cunxiao was holding Chili and was about to go out when a group of strong men suddenly came to the door.

These men all had fat faces and wore half-sleeves over their white undershirts with red fish patterns on them.

This group of people went straight to the courtyard of the escort agency. The leader had a mustache and looked like a legal advisor with a vicious look in his eyes.

Just as the other party was about to speak, Li Cunxiao immediately activated his Qi and blood. His eyes shone with golden light, and Qi and blood smoke twisted and rose behind him. The liver's essence reached the eye orifices, the internal organs?

So young? !
The mustache showed a look of shock, and the viciousness immediately turned into a smile. He stood still and saluted.

"This young man."

"I heard there's a Red Whale Gang nearby. They're quite famous, and the people in the nearby market town have to pay tribute to you."

"Why, are you here to ask us to pay our respects?"

The man with the mustache suddenly looked more serious. He thought to himself, isn't this a stranger? How come he knows the whole situation so clearly?

"I am indeed a member of the Red Whale Gang, but paying my respects to the boss is too much."

"I wonder what your name is, and who is your relation to the owner of this courtyard?"

"My last name is Li, and I'm the third child in my family. You can call me Li Sanlang."

"In this courtyard, we are brothers who eat together. I am the master's useless apprentice."

The door to the yard was not closed tightly. Through the gap, one could see twenty or thirty shirtless men inside fiddling with stone locks and demonstrating guns and sticks.

The armor, swords and guns placed on the shelves even had blood stains that had not been wiped off.

The man with a mustache couldn't help but gasp when he saw this.

Are these bandits entering the city?
I thought that a twenty-something master of internal organs still had an incompetent little apprentice. To be a master, he must at least be a Huang Ting, right?

He's already on the same level as the gang leader, and he's still trying to blackmail me!

"Sorry to bother you. Goodbye."

The man with the mustache turned around and wanted to leave with his men, and Li Cunxiao's face suddenly turned cold.

"stop!"

The man with the mustache turned around, put on a flattering smile, and took out a silver note worth one hundred taels from his pocket.

"This is a treat for the brothers. It's a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't refuse."

Are the local gangs very polite?
Li Cunxiao originally wanted to make trouble, but when he saw that the other party was so sensible, and considering that he had just arrived in the provincial capital, he did not take action immediately.

Li Cunxiao pushed back the other party's hand that was handing over the banknote, and his expression softened a bit:
"No need for money, but I would like to ask you for some information."

The man with the mustache took back the banknote and became more friendly.

"Speak everything you know, and speak everything you know."

"Are there many outsiders like us in Songzhou City recently?"

The black horse galloped like the wind, its skin like breathing charcoal.

The mist under the four hooves was blown backwards by the strong wind, but it would not disperse, like floating clouds in the sky.

Passersby on the official road hurriedly stepped aside upon seeing this. When they saw the handsome young man in a white brocade-edged robe on horseback, they could not help but whisper to each other, wondering which family leader's son was out of the city for a trip.

This person was of course Li Cunxiao, who had changed his appearance using the Silver Fox.

"According to the Red Whale Gang, talented people from nearby counties are flocking here for the Yulan Bon Festival."

"If we really want to divide these people, we can divide them into two categories."

"Most of them are under 20 years old, with perfect Qi and blood. They enter Tiangu Temple just to learn a low-grade martial art."

"Those under the age of 25, who are at the Muscle Realm, are not ordinary people."

"Their fathers all graduated from Tiangu Temple's Arhat Hall or even the Dharma Academy."

"In other words, the martial arts they practiced can all be found in the temple."

“Once you get started, you can transition seamlessly without the hassle of studying multiple martial arts.”

As Li Cunxiao thought about these things, he couldn't help but feel a strange sense of familiarity in his heart.

It feels a bit like the middle school affiliated to a key university in my previous life.

There were fewer people on the official road today. Chili ran at full speed and arrived at the destination in a little over a quarter of an hour.

When we arrived at Pingdingshan, we found a secluded place to hide Chili, and then went up the mountainside, where we found that there were even fewer people.

There were only four or five of them, who tried the narrow passage and strange wind, but when they found they couldn't get through, they left cursing.

Li Cunxiao then quietly rushed out of the jungle, looked at the narrow road surrounded by strange rocks, and clenched the Dragon Sparrow Knife in his hand.

Stepped in.

The strong wind blew in my face, and the hem of my clothes and turban were blown wildly. If I were an ordinary person, I wouldn't even be able to open my eyes here.

But Li Cunxiao is not an ordinary person, and this little bit of wind force is nothing to him.

He plucked up his courage and rushed forward more than a hundred steps in one breath.

At this time, the wind force has increased significantly. If you don't circulate your qi and blood and keep your feet still, I am afraid that in an instant, two rows of gullies will appear on the ground extending to the starting point.

"Is that all? Where's the bird of prey in the wind yesterday?"

Li Cunxiao was not here for fun; he wanted to know the true identity of this strange wind and its relationship with Taiyi Zhenren.

Is it because I haven’t gone deep enough?
After confirming that there was no one around, Li Cunxiao took off his clothes and tied them around his waist.

Liver Wood Essence surged out instantly, and a hint of indigo spread across his chest;

The heart beat like a drum, the crimson essence surged upward, and the hair instantly looked like a burning flame;
The spleen and earth essence permeated the body, and the muscles all over the body suddenly swelled as if inflated.

Compared to the shriveled appearance when his internal organs had just been broken through, Li Cunxiao was now a ten-foot-tall little giant.

His bones were thick and his muscles were full, and there was even a faint glow between his muscles, bones and flesh.

It can be said that he has transformed from an evil ghost Yaksha into a guardian Yaksha.

A ten-foot-high smoke of blood and energy rose above his head, and Li Cunxiao instantly turned into a shadow and rushed forward.

In just a few dozen breaths, they soon arrived at the place where Zhang Lishi had arrived yesterday.

At a distance of a thousand steps, the strong wind was like a real blade colliding with flesh, and the dark red scales on the indigo skin overlapped like chains, and bursts of sparks and metal collisions continued.

But after taking a thousand steps, there seemed to be no major changes except that the wind blades became more dense.

Even because Li Cunxiao has the eight demons to bless him, he is more comfortable than Zhang Lishi when he is in the same position.

But this doesn't mean much, because one thousand steps is only one-fifth of the total length of the narrow path.

According to the intensity of the current strong wind, Li Cunxiao was not sure he could reach the end, and his goal was not to reach the end.

"Something's wrong. Something's missing."

Thinking carefully about the details of yesterday, it was also about a thousand steps, but when Zhang Lishi walked here, the pressure was much greater than his.

It seems that the higher the realm, the stronger the wind.

Therefore, the master had to use the Wind-Fixing Bead.
Ok?
"Could it be the magic treasure?"

Li Cunxiao seemed to be thinking about something, but did not act immediately. Instead, he took the initiative to retreat to a few dozen steps away from the starting point.

He was a person who valued his life, so even if the wind power really increased because of the magic treasure, with his body skills, he could escape from danger in a few breaths.

His fingers gripped the hilt of the Dragon Sparrow Sword, and as the liver wood essence was injected into it, the emerald green eyes on the red gold Dragon Sparrow Sword ring glowed.

When the sword was unsheathed, the clear singing of a dragon bird seemed to be heard in the narrow passage.

The wind in the narrow passage seemed to stagnate for a moment.

The next moment, an even louder and more ferocious cry sounded in my ears.

Li Cunxiao looked up and saw the distorted wind flow forming an image, and a majestic bird with white feathers, black stripes and a sharp beak like topaz appeared.

This time, the other party did not stay where he was like yesterday.

The two-meter-long pair of wings stirred up a violent gust of wind, and in an instant a sonic boom sounded, and it pounced towards Li Cunxiao!
