Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 240 Be good to me
Fairy Aurora left the Heavenly Prison with deep doubts, and then came to a mountain rich in sharp golden energy, which exuded infinite power like a terrifying monster.

In this mountain there is a palace shining with silver light, which is full of sharp gold energy.

She walked into the hall and saw a man sitting above her, who had already asked in a dignified voice, "In your opinion, when will this person bow his head?"

Fairy Aurora looked at the handsome and majestic young man at the head of the group and said bitterly, "Grandmaster, I saw that he seemed to be thriving in the Heavenly Prison, so I took it upon myself to assign him the responsibilities of the eighth and ninth levels."

Unexpectedly, the majestic man's expression changed after hearing this. He snorted coldly and said, "Asshole, who told you to act on your own?!"

"If he hadn't bowed his head, it would have been fine. The fact that he was able to obtain good fortune in the seventh level would have been a good karma for me... But now, if he died in the eighth or ninth level, it would be a big trouble!"

The dignified man stood up and paced back and forth. He said, "Do you know that Wen Heng and Miao Dao have come to me seven times in this year? It's nothing if they come alone, but if they come together for this..."

Fairy Aurora was startled and quickly prostrated herself on the ground, saying, "My child has committed a serious crime. Please punish me, ancestor."

The man's face was filled with the vehemence of a fierce tiger. He pondered for a moment and said, "Never mind. It's not your fault. I didn't explain myself clearly after all."

He paused, then said, "Originally, he and I didn't have much of a grudge. It was just that a guard I had originally favored was killed by this man while still in the mortal world. He even took away some of the divine power I had bestowed upon him, which is how we became connected."

This person is the White Tiger God.

Fairy Aurora was surprised and said, "The guards chosen by the ancestor... they must all be brave and powerful, and they also have battle flags blessed by divine power. How could that person win?"

Fairy Aurora recalled Zhao Yifu's gentle and polite appearance and felt that it was not the case.

But then the White Tiger Lord said, "He won under my White Tiger Banner. I should have admired his bravery... but the problem is that this guy actually wants to use my White Tiger Banner to interfere in the mortal battlefield. I can't let him do that."

"Even though I took back my divine power, I still had a karmic connection with him, so I wanted to end it while he was in the upper realm."

"This is what I said, Aurora, do you understand?"

After hearing this, Fairy Aurora nodded repeatedly to show that she understood. The White Tiger Lord had made it very clear that this was to end the cause and effect.

As for how to end it?

She pretended to be Emperor Wenheng's person and brought Zhao Yifu into the jurisdiction of Tianyu. This was actually a way to take advantage of a loophole.

If Zhao Yifu could not bear it and begged for mercy, then the White Tiger God would certainly agree, and might even plead for him to have his sentence in Heavenly Prison reduced by a hundred years, which would make everyone happy.

But Zhao Yifu was living like a fish in water in the Heavenly Prison...

If the White Tiger Lord wanted to resolve the cause and effect, he would have to find another way. Opportunities, treasures, etc. were all acceptable, but Zhao Yifu's life must not be harmed.

If Zhao Yifu was alone, then naturally his fate would end with his death.

But Zhao Yifu has a lot of people behind him, which would only deepen the cause and effect and cause big trouble.

Aurora said bitterly, "Grandfather, how can I make up for this mistake?"

White Tiger Lord said, "Now it seems that I can only ask you to protect him in secret."

Aurora felt that this was extremely troublesome. This task was really arduous... After all, the prisoners imprisoned in the eighth and ninth heaven prisons were terrifying existences that she could not face.

The White Tiger Lord said, "I will grant you a decree so that you don't have to worry about the oppression of those demons."

"I'll also give you a hidden treasure and a set of armor for protection... Now go."

Aurora quickly thanked the ancestor for his generosity. She felt like it was a blessing in disguise.

With so many gifts bestowed upon her, she really couldn't say much.

……

Dongfang Chunyang Palace is the closest place in the heaven to the rising position of the sun. On weekdays, countless sword cultivators gather in the square to confirm their knowledge with each other, making it full of people.

But now, the place is deserted, with only a voice coming from the main hall:
"Master Yan, why don't you come with me to retrieve that person? That's your disciple, right?"

It was the voice of Emperor Wenheng.

Taoist Yan is the Miaodao Tianzun, also known as Emperor Fuyou. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't be too late to wait."

Emperor Wenheng asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you? You were even more anxious than I was before."

Emperor Fuyou said, "After searching for the White Tiger three times without success, I have already started looking for another way."

"Have you forgotten that boy has a good relationship with Tiansun?"

Emperor Wenheng's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "Then let's invite him to help scare the White Tiger?"

Emperor Fuyou shook his head and said, "That's inferior. Don't worry, Baihu kept that kid because he wanted to end the karma, and I guess he is now riding a tiger and it's difficult to get off... Ha, this idiom is really appropriate."

"I've already asked Dong Yue, and he's very happy to see this happen."

Wen Heng asked, "Why is this?"

Emperor Fuyou said mysteriously, "That's Tiansun's own business, and I can't ask too much. But I can remind you of one thing... You came to heaven late, so I'm afraid you don't know what Tiansun did before he was named Dongyue?"

……

"Are you the warden's successor?!"

The green ox in front of Zhao Yifu suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

Because at this time Zhao Yi Fu was manipulating the prison locks to scrape off the mud on the blue ox, revealing its scarred body.

Zhao Yifu shook his head and said, "I don't know any warden. This 'Taixu Soul Locking Forbidden' was also taught by a senior, so I just learned it on my own."

The blue ox was skeptical and said, "I thought you were the warden's descendant, and came to take back this prison."

Zhao Yifu laughed and said, "I don't want this Heavenly Prison. What's so good about it? I have two ancestors, and it's fine to go to their places. Why do I need this Heavenly Prison?"

Qingniu shook his head after hearing this and said, "What do you know? This Heavenly Prison can be said to have gathered the strongest power of punishment from the three realms. Practicing here can help you enter the Dao through punishment and comprehend the great creation of heaven and earth!"

Zhao Yifu listened thoughtfully and said, "That's true, but it doesn't suit my personality. Let's forget it."

Qingniu was surprised when he heard this and said, "You are not tempted by the huge benefits placed before you?"

Zhao Yifu said in even greater surprise, "I've been cultivating my own path and have already become an immortal. It doesn't make sense for me to change my ways just because I see something new after becoming an immortal, right?"

"I will study and experiment with the power of this punishment, but I will focus more on contemplating my own path."

His heart is very stable, a little too stable.

Qingniu was surprised. He said, "Your character is quite remarkable. I hope you can keep going..."

"Ah~"

Qingniu sighed.

At this moment, a voice came from the distance: "Ha, Old Niu, you can actually feel sad. When did you become so delicate?"

Zhao Yifu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a hill in the distance, but it was a wooden hill, without a trace of mud. The hill was covered with thorns, and on one of the thorns hung a woman's head, mocking them.

Qingniu snorted coldly and said calmly, "Madam Bloodvine, take a look at your condition before you laugh at me. I'm afraid it won't be long before you're just a bunch of mindless thorny vines."

Zhao Yifu looked over there and said, "This...does it need to loosen the restrictions?"

Madam Xue Teng sneered, "Don't talk big. Can you do it?"

Zhao Yifu nodded and said, "You can try."

Afterwards, he sensed the restrictions here and quickly found the trick... It was actually the 'Taixu Forbidden Book' in his hand!
The 'Taixu Soul Locking Ban' in the 'Taixu Forbidden Book' was like a key, easily touching the critical node, loosening the restriction on the Blood Vine Lady a little.

Just at this moment, Lady Xue Teng took a deep breath.

The head hanging on the bramble also regained some energy and could at least move around a little.

The Blood Vine Lady smiled at Zhao Yifu in a friendly manner, then said, "Thank you very much, young man. I haven't had a good breath in hundreds of years."

Zhao Yifu was moved when he heard this, and asked, "How long have you been imprisoned here?"

When was he imprisoned, and why was he imprisoned? These two questions were kept secret downstairs. The sirens downstairs would rather offer the most delicious part of their bodies to Zhao Yifu than mention this matter.

Madam Xueteng suddenly fell silent, but Qingniu laughed and said, "How long? In short, it's been a very long time."

Madam Xue Teng also said, "Alright, we are all rebels who rebelled against the Heavenly Court. We don't want to talk about what happened back then, so please stop beating around the bush."

Zhao Yifu didn't say much after hearing this, but simply said, "Is that so... well, I'll paint a picture for the two seniors and then I should go explore elsewhere."

Qingniu asked, "Painting? Why?"

Zhao Yifu said, "Isn't that to inspect the restrictions on prisoners everywhere? No one told me how to do it, so I just drew a picture for each person and updated it every time I inspected them."

Madam Xueteng asked in surprise, "Painting? You don't mind the trouble?"

Zhao Yifu said, "It's not a big deal, just something I had in mind."

He was a disciple of the Danqing School, so how could painting be considered difficult? However, he never achieved the highest level of painting and calligraphy, but instead innovated in the speed of his painting and writing...

Just like now, he just had a thought, and the images of the two great demons already appeared on the "prison book", which could be called a "photo".

When Qingniu and Madam Xueteng saw it, they both suddenly realized, "So this is the soul's reflection. I forgot there was such an unpopular magical power."

Zhao Yifu waved his hand and refused to bother with these ignorant monsters, and went to check other places.

His interest in the eighth level of prison had reached its lowest point. It was smelly and dirty. Although the prisoners could communicate with each other, it was nowhere near as delicious as the ones downstairs.

He searched through the mud piles one after another and actually found a body that was not tied up with prison chains or wrapped in thorns, but was rotting in the mud.

At this moment, the voice of the Blood Vine Lady suddenly appeared beside him: "This is the jailer from before. Because the Dream Demon Lord had his mind controlled, he came to break the restriction... As a result, the restriction was triggered directly. Poor Dream Demon Lord and the jailer were drained of their life and turned into dry bones."

Then the Blood Vine Lady laughed wildly, looking very proud... It was obvious that she had a bad relationship with the Dream Demon Lord.

Zhao Yi Fu turned his head and saw that the head of the Blood Vine Lady was hanging on a scarlet vine and stretched all the way here from a distance... My goodness, how long has it been since he sent her away, and this guy has become so energetic?

Zhao Yifu was a little alert, thinking that none of the powerful monsters imprisoned here could be relaxed.

However, just as Madam Xueteng was laughing triumphantly, a delicate voice suddenly rang out from the pile of dirt: "Who said I'm dead? I'm still alive and well!"

Madam Xueteng's expression changed, and she said unhappily, "You've been causing trouble for a thousand years, and I knew you wouldn't die so easily."

The pool of mud suddenly shook, and a skeleton crawled out of the mud.

However, the prison lock was still tightly wrapped around its cervical vertebrae, making it make a "ding-dong" sound when it moved.

Zhao Yifu felt very unwell after watching this. The scene was like the emergence of the "White Bone Demon" and was extremely shocking.

Even though the Dream Demon Lord was reduced to nothing but dry bones, covered in foul-smelling mud, his bones still gave off a very gentle and charming vibe...

Zhao Yifu shook his head and unmovedly drew the image of the Dream Demon Lord on his "prison book".

The Dream Demon Lord pleaded, "Brother, could you please loosen the restrictions on me too? I see you've loosened them on so many people..."

Zhao Yifu shook his head and said, "You tempted the jailer to suffer. You are still harboring evil intentions and deserve this punishment."

The Dream Demon Lord's voice suddenly became hoarse and sharp: "He couldn't control himself!"

As it said this, it stood up angrily, as if trying to grab Zhao Yifu.

Beside Zhao Yifu, the Blood Vine Lady laughed playfully upon seeing this: "Oh my, this slut, seeing she's become a skeleton and can't seduce any men anymore, is resorting to force?"

Zhao Yifu actually had nothing to be afraid of when he saw this, because he felt that since he was a jailer, he must have a way to deal with these prisoners.

So he snorted coldly.

The chain around the Dream Demon Lord's neck suddenly tightened, pulling him against the pillar.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang.

Zhao Yifu's eyes were filled with a fierce glint. He said calmly, "I can give you some preferential treatment, but it's best if you all behave like good people!"

He snorted coldly and blew a breath of icy spiritual energy towards the Dream Demon Lord who was dragged onto the stone pillar...

The next moment, something happened that made all the imprisoned demons tremble. This breath of icy spiritual energy actually attracted the icy calamity energy downstairs, and suddenly a strong icy calamity appeared around the pillars.

The Dream Demon Lord was suddenly frozen to the pillar and couldn't move at all.

At this moment, the skeleton of the Dream Demon Lord was frozen on the huge stone pillar of punishment, and in a trance became the background of Zhao Yifu's annotation.

He glanced at the Blood Vine Lady indifferently, and it was so frightened that it kowtowed rapidly.

Zhao Yifu pretended not to see it.

The prison locks on the surrounding stone punishment pillars began to shake involuntarily, as if they were all very excited.

Zhao Yifu felt very annoyed. The monsters in the eighth level were indeed more advanced and powerful, but they were also obviously more cunning and ferocious. In comparison, the sea monsters in the seventh level were more honest.

The prisoners were obedient.

However, Zhao Yifu didn't know that in a certain corner, a pair of eyes were silently watching him and the trembling prison locks behind him...

It's the Aurora.

She was completely stunned.

Good god, how come this guy seems to be the boss of the Heavenly Prison? His ability to control the prison locks and adjust the punishment with just a thought is something that even a prison warden like her can't do...

She began to doubt herself. Did this person really need her protection?
