Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 247: Don’t mess with people who have a cesspool in their head
Master Li looked quite ashamed, but he was still worried.

He said, "There's something wrong with this Pure Yang Demon Subduing Sword. It's definitely seen blood... Did you know it can't see blood?"

Zhao Yifu hesitated for a moment, thinking that he had thrown the Pure Yang Demon Subduing Sword directly into the blood pool as a blood sacrifice, so this should also be considered as seeing blood, right?

So he nodded and said, "The situation at that time was really unavoidable..."

Grandmaster Li interrupted, "Once it sees blood, the demonic spirit within the sword will rapidly grow, bewitching and chattering... This is a demonic sword, and seeing blood means it has awakened!"

The Grandmaster Chunyang said graciously, "You are worrying too much, my friend. I gave this sword to Junxin so that he can use it."

"So what if the demon spirit is awakened? I'll just reinforce the seal and make sure it..."

As the Chunyang Patriarch spoke, he stretched out his hand and pressed on the sword blade to strengthen the seal of the Chunyang Demon Subduing Sword.

Then his hand suddenly bounced away...just bounced away!
"what?"

Patriarch Chunyang opened his eyes wide, looking incredulous.

Upon seeing this, Grandmaster Li quickly asked, "Why, has that demon spirit already developed the ability to resist you?"

Grandmaster Chunyang shook his head and said, "No, this is not my evil thought. It is too crazy, completely baseless and without a trace of rationality."

Then he looked at Zhao Yi Fu, his expression seemed to be asking: What did you do to my lovely evil thoughts?
Zhao Yifu scratched his face, then said with a dry laugh: "Master, you can't hit me."

The Pure Yang Patriarch sighed and said, "Tell me, let me know what audacious thing you have done."

Zhao Yifu reached out and picked up the Pure Yang Demon Subduing Sword, releasing the concealed edge technique he had placed on it, revealing the crazy power emanating from the sword from the inside out.

This is definitely a demonic sword, extremely crazy and extremely thirsty for blood.

Grandmaster Li interjected, "This... clearly looks like it has already drunk blood. It's completely irreversible!"

Zhao Yifu nodded and then talked about his experience in the Heavenly Prison.

"When I was in the Nine Heavens Prison, I encountered a blood demon riot. I had no other choice. In order to stop the blood demon from growing stronger and constantly attacking the seal, I came up with the idea of ​​sacrificing the blood of a divine weapon to extract the blood demon's power."

"Disciple did not use the Pure Yang Demon Subduing Sword to kill, but used it in a blood sacrifice to weaken the Blood Demon."

As he spoke, he looked at Grandmaster Chunyang and said, "I'm sorry, Grandmaster. I was too reckless. The demon spirit inside has been shattered by the impact of the Blood Demon's will."

Upon hearing this, Grandmaster Chunyang was actually relieved. He said, "I see... Although this sword has become a demonic sword, you did use it to 'subdue the demon,' and I'm very pleased."

Grandmaster Li said angrily, "Stop pretending to be a nice and amiable Grandmaster. The problem now is that this sword has become so dangerous, and you're still letting this kid carry it?"

Patriarch Chunyang asked with concern, "How do you feel now?"

Zhao Yifu said, "Disciple, I think it's very good. If it weren't for the Pure Yang Demon Subduing Sword balancing it, my situation would be in trouble."

Patriarch Chunyang was confused. He asked, "Balance what?"

Zhao Yifu thought about it, then took out his Taixu Forbidden Book and said, "Balance the evil thoughts within."

"Sigh~~"

At this moment, Master Li took a deep breath, as if he was taking a deep breath.

Grandmaster Chunyang stared at the book in disbelief and said, "There's also a demon spirit here, and it's much more powerful than the demon spirit in the Chunyang Demon-Subduing Sword... More importantly, it smells of an eternal grudge!"

"Where did you get this?!"

Zhao Yifu scratched his head and said, "This is the male half of Tiansun Mulu that he cut off to separate the eternal grudge that entangled him."

"It was fine originally. The most I did was argue with it, and I lived a peaceful life in the mortal world. But I didn't expect that soon after I came to heaven, this part of the eternal resentment began to grow stronger and stronger, and I was getting more and more tired of suppressing it."

"The Blood Demon happened to be causing trouble, so I thought of a way to use the Blood Demon's power to suppress the Eternal Grudge."

Grandmaster Li was no longer able to speak.

Because Zhao Yifu carried such a dangerous thing on his body, and used it for two purposes to check and balance each other, it was no longer something that could be described as "audacious".

Grandmaster Chunyang frowned and said, "No, although my Chunyang Demon Subduing Sword has been greatly strengthened by the blood sacrifice, it is only a wisp of my demonic thoughts. It is far inferior to Tiansun's half body infected by the eternal grudge. You can't resist the demon spirit in this book with the Chunyang Demon Subduing Sword alone."

Zhao Yifu said respectfully, "Master, please understand, because we still have this sword."

As he spoke, he pulled out the killing knife from his sleeve...

The demonic energy is also deep, but those present are all masters of Taoism. How can they not detect the true yang at the core of their inner world?
If the Pure Yang Demon Subduing Sword appears to be a divine sword but is actually used to suppress the demonic core within itself, then this Killing Knife appears to be a sword that kills demons but is actually true and kind at its core...or we can call it: killing to protect life!

Grandmaster Chunyang looked at the knife and suddenly smiled bitterly, saying, "Your knife follows the path of your Grandmaster Wenheng, isn't it? It's really enviable."

Zhao Yi Fu immediately realized that Patriarch Chunyang had seen through it and realized that this killing knife was his unique life-saving weapon, so he was jealous.

He quickly said, "Grandmaster, that's not true. My best skill is the Pure Yang Alchemy Dao that you taught me. Swords and knives are just for self-defense."

This is what I said...

That’s not wrong.

Patriarch Chunyang also understood the idea. After all, what he was best at was alchemy, and swordsmanship was his interest and hobby.

Who doesn’t have their own hobbies? You can’t suppress your child’s interests just because of your own preferences, right?
Patriarch Chunyang became open-minded again.

On the other hand, Grandmaster Li said somewhat gloomily, "This kid has such evil nature despite all the treasures he has. I think he can become a big devil in the heaven."

The Pure Yang Patriarch also thought it made sense. He said, "That seems to be the case. If you are not good enough, you can still make a good living among the demons."

Zhao Yifu was puzzled. He said, "Two ancestors, why would I choose to be a demon instead of an immortal?"

Grandmaster Li smiled awkwardly and said, "Just kidding, that was a joke."

Patriarch Chunyang said thoughtfully, "Actually, this isn't all a joke."

Zhao Yifu: “???”

I only heard the ancestor say slowly: "You don't know, this heaven is very unstable now. The heaven is vast and boundless, and many people live in this vast land."

"Because the heavens are rich in resources, the people there live a life of plenty and worry-free. Therefore, the 'Heavenly Path' in the Six Paths of Reincarnation actually refers to these people in heaven."

"But now the problem arises. Originally, the Celestials were able to be self-sufficient and live happily under any circumstances. There shouldn't be so much fighting."

"But now, the conflicts between heaven and earth are increasing, as if there is an invisible black hand stirring up trouble behind the scenes."

Zhao Yifu frowned and said, "A fight between heaven and man?"

He repeated the question like a tape recorder, because he had no idea what the side effects of such a fight would be.

The ancestor said: "Because the hearts of the people in the heavens are pure, and because of the suppression by the Heavenly Court, it has always been difficult for Mara's demon kingdom to invade here."

"But now, because the people in the heavens are becoming increasingly confused, the signs of the demons' activities have become increasingly obvious." At this time, Grandmaster Li added, "You don't have to worry about being possessed by a demon. After all, your brain is like a cesspool of feces. If a demon jumped in, it would drown."

Zhao Yifu's face twitched and he thought to himself that this ancestor was so vulgar.

The Pure Yang Patriarch said unhappily, "Fine, what kind of description are you using?"

Then he looked at Zhao Yifu and said, "Things in the Heavenly Court are not so bad. After all, we have the Emperor of Heaven and the Star Lords in charge. We don't have to worry about them. But the situation in the entire Heaven Realm is a big deal."

"The last time there was such chaos was during the massive 'Heaven-Destroying War,' where countless demons gathered to declare war on the Heavenly Court, leaving countless people devastated."

Zhao Yifu suddenly remembered the demons imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison... He asked, "Is it related to the Dragon Clan?"

The Pure Yang Patriarch said, "It is true that a group of dragons participated in the incident, but because the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas all sided with the Heavenly Court, it was only a group of dragons that rebelled."

Zhao Yifu listened thoughtfully.

He thought of the old dragon that was locked in the Nine Heavens Prison...it seemed to have a lot of stories.

Patriarch Chunyang added, "Based on previous experience, someone might be secretly forming a 'Heaven-Destroying Army'. The Sword Immortal Alliance under my command is traveling through the heavens to gather information on this matter, and the Sky Patrol Division must also pay close attention to this."

Zhao Yifu listened thoughtfully and said, "So, the Grandmaster wants me to go undercover in the 'Heaven-Defeating Army'?"

Grandmaster Chunyang shook his head and said, "No, I don't restrict you from doing anything. I just want to give you another option when the time is right."

Zhao Yifu was stunned. What does this mean?
He was a little confused. Was it hinting at something?

At this time, Patriarch Li smiled and said, "Don't think too much. It's just that if you unleash your demonic energy, it might be misunderstood. If your Patriarch Chunyang says one more word at this time, it will be an endorsement for you."

Zhao Yifu finally came to his senses after hearing this.

He quickly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Master, for your kindness."

The Grand Master Chunyang said, "No need to say more... Aunt Hui, take Junxin down to rest. He still needs to study the teachings at Chunyang Palace for another ten years. During this time, his daily life will be left to you."

Hui Gu had been quietly standing by. She smiled sweetly and said, "Yes, disciple, I understand."

Then she looked at Zhao Yifu with a sweet smile and said, "Come on, I'll take you to my room."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Master Li coughed uncontrollably.

Hui Gu quickly apologized, "Master Li, please forgive me for laughing. Jun Xin and I were originally Taoist companions in the mortal world."

Grandmaster Li said unhappily, "Congratulations then. When will you bring new children to the Chunyang Palace?"

Hui Gu blushed immediately. She said, "Grandmaster, how could you be so unruly? Although my relationship with Jun Xin stems from love, it is governed by propriety. I like him, but it is no longer about lust."

Grandmaster Chunyang said, "So that's how it is. This is how you break through the calamity of love."

"Love is inherently connected to desire. You have abandoned all worldly desires, leaving only pure and sincere love."

"Wonderful! If you love someone like this, then that's all you need to do. Why should you become cold and indifferent because of the difficulty of overcoming the emotional calamity?"

Patriarch Chunyang was extremely happy. He was obviously extremely happy that Huigu was able to overcome her emotional tribulation.

Perhaps, I saw the path I had walked before.

After a pause, he looked at Zhao Yifu and said, "What's even more rare is that someone can respond to your true feelings. That's great."

This time it seems like there's really something behind his words.

Grandmaster Li looked at Grandmaster Chunyang, who was still sighing with emotion, and gently pushed Zhao Yifu, saying, "Alright, you two little mandarin ducks, hurry up and get off. Don't let this old mandarin duck get emotional."

Zhao Yifu was pushed out of the Chunyang Palace hall in a daze.

Hui Gu smiled and took Zhao Yifu's hand and walked in front, saying, "Come on, I'll show you around here first."

Zhao Yifu nodded. He really had nothing to do.

Along the way, she met some unfamiliar Chunyang disciples. Hui Gu greeted them politely and introduced Zhao Yifu to everyone she met.

She seemed afraid that others didn't know that this was her Taoist partner.

This is different from the mortal world.

In the mortal world, she is an elder and she has to suppress any emotions she has.

But in heaven, everyone is a disciple of Chunyang Palace, and everyone worships the same ancestor. Suddenly, they can openly express their love!
After walking around for a long time, they finally returned to a small courtyard.

Hui Gu said embarrassedly: "The yard is a bit small. It was enough for me to live alone in the past..."

Zhao Yifu said jokingly, "Isn't it enough if I'm included?"

Hui Gu also smiled. She said, "Come, let me show you the wine I brewed in Chunyang Palace... You always look for all kinds of good wine in the mortal world. I was afraid you wouldn't be used to it in heaven, so I brewed some more myself."

Zhao Yifu listened and was speechless.

He doesn't like wine.

Because Marshal Xin had shown mercy to him when he faced the heavenly calamity, he promised to treat Marshal Xin to a drink.

Then he searched for good wine all over the mortal world, hoping that he wouldn't be too embarrassed when he got to heaven.

But when Huigu saw him, she thought he liked drinking, so she started to study winemaking with Zhou Qingzhao...

He paused, pulled Hui Gu aside and said, "Wait, let's drink this jar first today."

Hui Gu looked at the jar in surprise. She opened it, smelled it, and said, "This is the wine we brewed for you back then."

Zhao Yifu nodded and said, "Yes, it's the jar I dug out from the yard in front of your house after you left."

Hui Gu asked, "How come there's still half a jar?"

Zhao Yifu said, "I drank that half of the jar with Qing Zhao before I sent her to heaven. Now I want to drink the rest with you."

When Huigu heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly and her heart instantly softened.

She said, "Okay, we'll drink it... It's a pity, it would be better if Qing Zhao was here too."

Zhao Yi Fu didn't say much, but silently took out two wine cups and poured wine for both of them.

The wine was supposed to be drunk by three people, but unfortunately it didn't end well.

It's frustrating to say. Going to heaven and becoming a god should be a happy thing, but for them it's like losing a real loved one.
