Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 160 159 True Form Three Determinations
Castrated?
Li Cunxiao and the other two were stunned at first, then they all became furious:
"You beast! You deserve to die!"

"He who cuts off the descendants of others is indeed a demon!"

"Doctor Sun, will this harm the lives of these children?"

Doctor Sun’s expression became even uglier, “It’s hard to say.”

"Those monsters were cruel, but the medicine they used was surprisingly effective."

"Of those thirteen beggars, at least half should have survived."

"But the remaining few are not even old enough to be a teenager, so I'm afraid it's a bit risky."

After the demon was annihilated, the cheerful atmosphere suddenly became dull.

Su Wuming directed the soldiers to clean up the mess in the courtyard, while Li Cunxiao and Yuan Guang personally escorted the two doctors out the door and watched them walk away under escort.

"Junior brother, do you know why the evil people of the Ming Cult capture young boys and girls?"

There was not much expression on Yuanguang's face, but Li Cunxiao could hear the suppressed anger in him.

"I can probably guess. Twelve boys and girls, right?"

In the teachings of the Ming Cult, among the two sects and three periods, in the initial stage, light and darkness are separated.

In the intermediate stage, darkness invades light, light and darkness struggle, and the two mix.

In the final stage, light and darkness are separated again. Evil and the entire world that imprisons light are destroyed, and the righteous return to the kingdom of light.

The initial stage and the final stage are both mysterious and unknowable, only the middle stage is the present life, which is the meaning of the existence of the Mingjiao.

So, since light was no match for darkness at the beginning, and was even swallowed up by the demons, becoming a prisoner and unable to escape, how can it be rescued?
These are the twelve boys and girls summoned by Mingzun.

They "may appear as a young boy with subtle features, and five kinds of female demons go mad" and "may appear as a young girl with dignified features, and five kinds of male demons go wild".

To put it simply, Ming Zun directly used the beauty trap to cause the light molecules absorbed from the five types of demons to be released and fall to the ground, turning into various animals and plants.

Plants contain more light molecules than animals, which is why the people of the Ming Cult "eat vegetables and serve the devil."

Because they believe that being a vegetarian can make the body and mind brighter, while eating meat is dirty and will only turn people into demons.

If this point corresponds to spiritual herbs and demon meat, then it is very consistent.

However, spiritual herbs and elixirs are so precious, and the Ming Cult has spread its business very widely, taking root and sprouting everywhere, which means that there are not enough resources to go around.

As warriors who practice demonic martial arts, it is inevitable that evil energy will accumulate in their bodies. Is there any cheaper way?

Yes. That is to follow the example of Mingzun and cultivate medicine men with young boys and girls, but this time, instead of shooting out the light molecules, they use the dual cultivation method to vent the evil spirits.

This practice is basically the same as that of the evil monks in Tantric Buddhism who practice joyful meditation.

Boys and girls who serve as furnace tripods generally do not live past the age of 25 and will die due to the evil energy in their bodies.

But before they are completely unable to move, they can still rush to the battlefield, take the crazy drug, and use their last bit of energy as cannon fodder.

In order to prevent boys and girls from having affairs, men naturally had to be castrated.

"What a demonic cult! They deceive the people and exploit them in the name of equality. They all deserve to be killed!"

Li Cunxiao recalled everything he had read in the book, and his murderous intent grew stronger.

"It's not just that," Yuanguang wanted to remind Li Cunxiao when he saw that the conversation had reached this point.

"Junior brother, you should have noticed something. There are many Huangting masters in the city, and the leaders of the Sixth Realm also occasionally show up."

"And like you, my brother, the warriors in the fifth realm of true form seem to be hiding. Do you know why?"

"I was just about to ask my senior brother for some advice." Li Cunxiao had indeed been curious for a long time and naturally would not miss this opportunity.

"The devil is an illusion, the condensation of the evil desires of warriors."

"First, cultivate Qi and blood to strengthen the body; then cultivate true Qi to open up the meridians throughout the body."

"During this process, the connection between the demon and the warrior becomes increasingly close, until they reach the True Form realm and completely merge into one."

"Merging with the devil? Won't that drive you crazy?"

Li Cunxiao was surprised and remembered what Taiyi Zhenren said about "two hearts competing".

"Of course, it's not just about fusion. The key to the True Form Realm is actually 'fighting' and 'fixing'."

When Yuanguang talked about this, he couldn't help but recall the hardships he had experienced in the past, and his words were filled with lingering fear.

“There are three levels of concentration: entering concentration, remaining in concentration, and exiting concentration.”

"You must first merge with the demon, becoming one, and then escape without losing your true self. This is the most dangerous stage in the martial arts."

"To maintain your true self, the most important thing is determination."

"When humans and demons merge, illusions become reality. Warriors often develop incredible magical powers in this realm, but the struggle between humans and demons becomes increasingly fierce."

"The inner struggle is reflected outwardly, and many bizarre things often happen. Leaves move without wind, candlelight turns into ghostly fire, shadows contain strangeness, and the person in the mirror looks like a person but not a person."

Just listening to these descriptions, Li Cunxiao couldn't help but get goosebumps.

According to Yuanguang, these true form warriors are indeed not suitable to live with humans until they come out of meditation and defeat the demons.

What if one day I have hallucinations and hear voices, and I mistake my family for my inner demons and kill them indiscriminately? Wouldn’t I be devastated when I wake up?

"Therefore, upright True Form warriors often choose a remote place to live in seclusion and practice."

"I have now come out of my trance and started to move around, looking for an opportunity to break through the Heavenly Ladder."

"And those who seem to be members of the demonic cult, acting dissolutely, simply obey the demon leader and vent their demonic nature so that they can subdue him."

"Thus, within the Ming Cult, warriors who have reached the True Form Realm serve as 'Ming Marshals' in their bandit armies, leading them on expeditions. They place young boys and girls in their camps, allowing them to vent their demonic energy through killing and sexual intercourse."

After hearing this, Li Cunxiao was speechless for a long time, and Yuanguang said no more.

The silence continued until the children in the courtyard woke up one after another, and then the two brothers escorted them all the way to Beitian Courtyard.

Those beggars had nowhere to go, so after Su Wuming reported it to Bai Xiangshan, the latter simply allocated a batch of silver, hoping that Master Jingyue would accept them.

The latter is a compassionate person and will not refuse even if there is no money.

Now that she has funding, she can ask some neighbors for help, otherwise she won’t be able to take care of it all by herself.

"Sanlang, Master Yuanguang, thank you so much for your help."

The nun's face was full of gratitude, but Li Cunxiao felt mixed emotions when he heard her.

A person with great martial arts skills may not necessarily have a compassionate heart.

People with low martial arts skills may not necessarily be unable to be chivalrous and righteous.

Born in troubled times, he initially just wanted his family to be safe and free from illness and disaster.

But the circumstances of his life have pushed him to a height that he never dared to imagine before.

With the vajra in hand, he will definitely have a place in the future world.

What should we do then?
"We are all disciples of the Samanas, so why should we talk about hard work? Nun Tai, helping the poor and the needy is a greater cause than building a pagoda."

"You run like oxen and horses for the suffering of sentient beings. You are the true dragon and elephant of great virtue."

Yuanguang was not at all arrogant, and his words were full of admiration and humility.

As the head disciple of a large sect, such an attitude is unimaginable.

But when I thought that this was De Zheng's first disciple, everything seemed to be natural.

"As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Abbot Dezheng and Senior Brother Yuanguang are both like this. Perhaps that Buddhist elder who has never appeared is also of such an upright and honest character?"

Li Cunxiao's thoughts were scattered, and he rode on Chili and returned to Tiangu Temple with Yuanguang.

When they arrived at the abbot's meditation room, Yuanguang explained everything from beginning to end.

Except for being slightly surprised when he heard that Li Cunxiao had killed Yao Ziheng, Dezheng's expression was calm most of the time.

Li Cunxiao was no longer in the mood to think about anything else. His eyes were practically glued to the snake spear, unable to move away for even a moment. In his mind, half of the vajra was ablaze with golden light. A closer look at the two Capricorn claws revealed that one pair was illuminated.

The gains brought by Yao Ziheng and others were enough to break through the obstacle once.

He had already familiarized himself with the key points of "The Hellfire Spear" and had been trying to divide the demon in the past few days.

After returning, with the help of the power of the vajra, you can get started today.

With top-grade martial arts at hand, all you need is a suitable weapon!

"Li Cunxiao, your fighting ability is really impressive, and you did a great job saving people this time."

"But just like that, taking away a mid-grade magic treasure seems a bit too easy?"

De Zheng spoke slowly. Li Cunxiao wanted to make some excuses at first, but when he saw the smiling look in the old monk's eyes, he forced himself to hold back.

"However, considering that the Governor's Office and the temple will have to sweep the ground and clean up the caves later, if you participate, your strength of only being a Huang Ting beginner is a bit insufficient."

"So, I'll lend you this Purple Flame Snake Spear for self-defense."

"Thank you, Abbot!"

Li Cunxiao spoke in a loud voice, rubbing his hands and trying to pull out the snake spear stuck in the ground.

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet." De Zheng hooked his finger and pulled his true energy, and the snake spear that was close at hand fell into his hand again.

"If you can chop off the heads of three more Ming Cult leaders, this item will be yours. Otherwise, wouldn't it be that I deliberately let you win? How can I explain this to that senior?"

"The abbot is thoughtful," what else could Li Cunxiao say.

The leader of the Ming Cult? He will never return!

"Well, take it. The Fire Spear is a top-grade martial art, and it's not as easy to practice as the Little Yasha Sword."

"This magic treasure is very compatible with the 'Fire Spear'. You should study it carefully. If you have any questions, you may want to ask Master Decong."

"Not only is he an expert in alchemy, he has also mastered the 'Flame Garuda Fist Sutra' and has perfected the control of fire-type true qi."

After saying that, he threw it lightly, and a ten-foot-long snake spear fell into his hand.

Even with Li Cunxiao's current strength, he still felt it was a little heavy when he started, which made him even more happy.

He must go back and practice immediately!
Yuanguang watched the other party leave, thinking of Li Cunxiao who had just been decisive and ruthless, and now had a cheerful contrast, which he found quite interesting.

"Master, that senior thinks so highly of Junior Brother Li?"

A mid-grade magic treasure can recognize its master and communicate with spirits. It can be controlled and moved at will. It can almost be said to be a part of the warrior's body. The bonus to combat power is self-evident, and there is no need to worry about it being taken away by others.

It is the huge Tiangu Temple, where he, the future head, owns one, and the three abbots outside the Yaowang Courtyard each own one.

There are only two top-grade magic treasures, which are shared by De Zheng and Decong.

"You saw it all, didn't you?"

De Zheng sighed quietly. If Qi Ci was not his half-teacher, he would not have racked his brains to get him to accept him as his disciple.

However, the other party left a few days ago to seek help from the Ming Cult, to eliminate demons and defend the way.

With Qici's level of cultivation, he should have achieved something, right?

"The people from Tiangu Temple shouldn't have caught up with us, right?"

Zhang Pu had changed into clean clothes at some point, and after he held his head high and chest out, and no longer suppressed his energy and blood, his body became strong, his eyes became bright, and he had a knife on his waist.

From a distance, he looked like a ruthless warrior, completely different from his previous beggar appearance.

"I'm afraid that Master Yao will not survive, and all the brothers are dead."

Thinking of this, Zhang Pu couldn't help but feel a little nervous and quickened his pace.

After Yao Ziheng took the crazy drug, he almost immediately slipped away through the secret passage.

Others thought he was just an ordinary scout, but in fact he was Yao Ziheng's confidant, and no more than five people knew the location of the secret passage.

His cultivation was not in muscles and bones, but in internal organs, but no one knew this except the leader of the sect.

All these preparations are made so that when an unexpected situation like today happens, no one can give it up, thus facilitating safe evacuation.

"Li Cunxiao came alone, so he must have discovered us by chance. Otherwise, he would have brought others to surround me, and I would have no chance of escape."

"But with the altar master dead, the matter of those children will definitely be exposed. That corrupt official Bai Xiangshan will definitely be alert."

"I have to send this message back, otherwise the people in the township and county will be caught off guard and will definitely suffer."

Zhang Pu knew that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to delay. He ran until dark without stopping.

While he was on his way, he kept a careful eye on his back and indeed did not notice anyone following him.

It was not until dawn the next day that they finally arrived at a valley.

Controlling the muscles in the throat, a few bird calls were made at a special frequency. After a while, someone came out and asked in a low voice:
“All beings are compassionate parents?”

Zhang Pu also replied, "The Great Guide of the Three Realms."

"God encompasses everything?"

"Solid earth can produce solid fruit."

The man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the code was correct.

Leading Zhang Pu through many twists and turns, they soon arrived at a vast man-made cave.

There were various tents here, all neatly arranged. Roughly speaking, there were about a hundred people there.

"General Liu, the brothers in the state capital are back."

The two of them were waiting to be summoned in front of the largest tent in the deepest part of the cave.

The lewd music entered my ears, and through the light of the torches, I could see the overlapping shadows of a man and several women in the tent.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, other believers entered the tent and carried out the human-shaped figures wrapped in cloth one by one.

Zhang Pu's internal organs were in good condition and his hearing was not weak, but there was no sound of breathing or heartbeat from those who were carried out into the cloth bags.

Liu Shuai's evil nature is getting stronger and stronger. No wonder he's asking for it so urgently.

"No matter how many boys and girls there are, they won't be able to withstand the consumption of him this way."

As his thoughts wandered, the tent in front of him suddenly opened. Zhang Pu subconsciously looked up and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a group of beautiful girls behind the majestic figure.

But looking again, they looked like a group of skeletons wearing gauze.

"Come in"

Hearing the call, Zhang Pu hurriedly lowered his head and walked in.

Looking again at this time, there was nothing to be seen behind General Liu.

He shuddered for no apparent reason.

"Didn't the church ask you to lurk in the state capital, gather intelligence, and recruit young boys and girls?"

Liu Weizhi was only wearing a loincloth and was almost naked, revealing his bronze skin.

There are two slight bulges on the forehead, as if something is about to grow out.

"Altar Master Yao was killed, and the boys and girls were lost."

Zhang Pu didn't dare to breathe. For some reason, he felt that the person in front of him was not a human, but a demon in human skin. He felt fear for no reason.

Liu Weizhi, who had just vented his anger, suddenly looked gloomy when he heard this.

"Who did it? The government? Tiangu Temple?"

"No, there's only one person. His name is Li Cunxiao."
