Dongxuan Spiritual Realm

Chapter 62: Inner Demon Substitute
Seeing Pei Lingyu's comparison again, Yang Qisheng cursed him inwardly, but still said kindly:
"My master taught me the 'Lingbao Saving People Sutra', which contains many methods specifically for breaking the Three Corpses' magic. You don't need to compete with us on this. What's important is that we destroy the demon corpse as soon as possible."

Pei Lingyu was actually aroused to a greater competitive spirit: "We have three people, and you only have two, and you have a little burden.

Also, as you said, you tricked the precious mirror from the beautiful corpse, and her strength has been weakened, not as good as Chu Hanfeng's."

Finally, he smiled proudly and said, "You don't have to worry about any unfairness. If you are more powerful and take the lead in destroying Chu Hanfeng, please come and help us as soon as possible."

Since he said so, others had no choice but to let him do as he pleased.

After separating, Liu Hanzhang and Yang Qisheng took Jing Han to Chu Hanfeng's bedroom in the back.

Liu Hanzhang was afraid that Yang Qisheng would harbor resentment: "Junior Brother Pei is just a little arrogant, but he is not a bad person."

"I know." Yang Qisheng smiled. "I consider him a fellow disciple. If not others, I have to look at Uncle Dayou. I don't know how powerful his Six Evil-Slaying Treasures are. I wonder if he can deal with Master Wenyan."

Liu Hanzhang thought for a moment and said, "The core secrets of our sect are in the Sutra Hall, but there's also a library. It contains Taoist texts collected by generations of ancestors, as well as many fragments of unorthodox teachings. It's managed by Third Uncle. Junior Brother Pei refined the Six Treasures and named it 'Exterminating Evil'. He must have gained a lot of insights, and it should be able to produce miraculous results."

"I hope so."

The two of them quickly came to the outside of Chu Hanfeng's bedroom. Yang Qisheng told Jing Han to wait outside and not to run around, then pushed open the two carved stone doors and walked in.

Chu Hanfeng's bedroom is very large. The upper and lower walls are all made of blue bricks. It is octagonal in shape and supported by eight huge stone pillars that can be hugged together. It forms a circle with a round bed in the center.

There was a huge stone coffin on the bed, and inside the coffin was a black iron coffin.

Yang Qisheng used the Five Elements Sword Technique to circle the room and carefully inspect it. "The demon corpse is not there, and the coffin is empty."

Liu Hanzhang took out the Blood Corpse Coffin Fungus and hesitated: "Do we really need to use it to lure out the demon corpse?"

"There's no problem using human blood to attract zombies, but this coffin fungus..." Yang Qisheng was worried there might be something wrong. "If Shi Wenyan is evil, she might tamper with this coffin fungus."

The two of them used the Wu Earth Essence to search carefully along the wall. Apart from the door they came from, they did not find any other passages, especially under the coffin, which seemed to be blocked by a formation.

Yang Qisheng said, "I'll do it. I'll give it a try."

Liu Hanzhang was a little surprised, then said: "No, let me do it. I have already set up the cauldron to refine the energy. Even if any problems arise, I can hold on longer than you."

Yang Qisheng smiled and said, "It is precisely because you, Senior Brother, are so advanced in Taoism and powerful that you cannot be easily injured. My power is low, and all my fighting power is in this Wanjian Gourd. If something happens, you can protect me. If you are injured, I can't protect you. Besides, I have practiced the "Lingbao Saving People Sutra" for more than three years, so I have some methods to deal with this kind of evil magic."

Liu Hanzhang was a modest man, never one to argue or fight. Although Yang Qisheng was his junior fellow apprentice and far less powerful than him, he was more opinionated. With Yang Qisheng's insistence, he had no choice but to agree, only repeatedly saying, "Then you must be very careful."

Yang Qisheng was cautious by nature. Before taking action, he asked Liu Hanzhang to print the five spiritual treasure talismans on the ceiling, floor and walls.

Liu Hanzhang's sword energy was sharp, and with a wave of his robe sleeves, he carved a large talisman in one go. The strokes were an inch deep into the rock, and there were flashes of lightning running through it.

This is equivalent to arranging the entire cave into a five-element formation.

Yang Qisheng found the location of Xiumen, sat cross-legged, and cast a spell to make his blood seep out from his fingertips, dripping into a pool in front of him.

Next, he did not release the coffin fungus directly, but summoned Black Mountain Xiaoqian.

During the past few months when he was setting up the furnace in Yanghui Palace, he was fighting against this inner demon all the time.

He refined the Five Elements Divine Fire Furnace, and the elixir was filled with evil spirits. Heishan Xiaoqian also gained power and absorbed a lot of evil spirits, making her divine body more condensed.

But she was stronger than before, and Yang Qisheng's pure mind grew even more, suppressing her even more fiercely. Except when practicing, she could not appear unless actively summoned.

"Master, you finally remembered me again..." Heishan Xiaoqian, dressed in orange clothes, said aggrievedly.

Without saying a word, Yang Qisheng made a gesture with his left hand, pointed at the blood pool on the ground, and reached out with his right hand to grab her through the air, then pressed her into the blood.

"Ah! Sir, what are you doing?"

"This is my master's blood essence as a reward for you! Just enjoy it, why are you yelling?"

A person's essence and blood are dominated by spirit and energy. Ordinary ghosts and gods cannot seize and absorb them, unless the mind is in a state of confusion and the spirit is scattered. Otherwise, the spirit will be kept within, internal evil will not arise, and external evil will have difficulty entering.

Although Heishan Xiaoqian stayed in Yang Qisheng's body all the time, Yang Qisheng's spirit and energy were one and they became one. Her inner demon could only lurk and endure. She could not get any advantage from him, and even a little blood and energy could not be absorbed.

Seeing but not being able to eat, this demon had long been unable to endure. Now, receiving Yang Qisheng's initiative to reward her, she immediately plunged into the blood puddle like diving. Yang Qisheng watched her go in, then took the blood corpse coffin fungus and threw it in.

The coffin fungus looks like a Ganoderma lucidum mushroom. It dissolves when it comes into contact with blood and quickly merges into the blood.

Yang Qisheng immediately made hand gestures and drew talismans in the air. Indentations appeared on the blood pool, forming talismans.

"Ah! Young Master, what are you doing?" Heishan Xiaoqian emerged from the blood and licked her scarlet lips with her tongue. "What is this?"

"This is called Blood Corpse Coffin Fungus. It's a great tonic for you. I'm in a good mood today, so I'm giving it to you too! Eat it quickly."

Heishan Xiaoqian cast a spell in the blood and began to absorb the fused blood energy.

Soon, the blood pool completely vaporized and was absorbed into her body.

There wasn't even a trace of blood on the ground. Black Mountain Xiaoqian was graceful and charming, standing there with an unsatisfied look on her face, bowing gracefully: "Master...Master, today...ah!"

She suddenly screamed, held her head in her hands, and collapsed to the ground.

Bloody symbols and spells emerged from beneath her skin, covering her face, neck, arms... from head to toe.

"This..." Yang Qisheng carefully examined the incantations and compared them with those in the Lingbao Sutra. None of them matched. "This looks like the Three Corpse Blood Curse, but it's not in the sutra."

Heishan Xiaoqian was in extreme pain and struggled hard on the ground: "Master...Master...what is this? What's going on?"

Yang Qisheng smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you are also me? You were originally just some delusions and obsessions in my heart. Now that I have given you my essence and blood, you are exactly like me. I use you as a substitute and bear the curse on my behalf. This is not too much, right? Don't worry, you are my inner demon. Unless I die, or refine the golden elixir and use the civil and martial arts to destroy you, you will not die. It's just that you have your own obsessions and delusions, which is why you are suffering..."

This inner demon has been tormenting him since it appeared. Whenever he reaches a critical moment in his cultivation, she will inevitably appear and use all kinds of means to interfere with him. It is really annoying!
Yang Qisheng was in a good mood today because he could turn the tables on her and torture her.

If there is such a "good thing" in the future, I will use her. After all, she is also a part of my body and mind. It takes a thousand days to cultivate the devil and only a moment to use it.

However, this blood curse could actually cure her to this extent. It seems that those who practice the Three Corpses Taoism also have to face the inner demons, otherwise there would not be such a secret method. I can learn from it in the future.

Heishan Xiaoqian became Yang Qisheng's substitute. The big coffin on the stone bed suddenly cracked open, and a demon corpse general in full armor flew out, holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, and flew straight towards where Yang Qisheng was!

The direction chosen by Yang Qisheng was the "Xiu Men" in Qi Men Dun Jia. At this time, he jumped up to escape. The demon corpse general flew over and chopped down with his painted halberd. With just one stroke, Heishan Xiaoqian was split into two halves!
However, Heishan Xiaoqian was a demon in her heart, and she recovered immediately and reappeared.

She cursed loudly and shook her head. A lot of hair quickly grew longer and flew to wrap around the demon corpse general.

As an inner demon, she was originally Yang Qisheng's obsession and delusion;

On Wutou Mountain, she was created through the mysterious spiritual realm of Mingyi Zhenren, and her physical form was revealed, but it was only tangible and could not control even a speck of dust.

Later, at Longgao Mountain, she obtained some Yuan Qi from Ye Yunqiao, and in recent months, she also obtained some Dan Qi released by Yang Qisheng. Only then did she begin to have the ability to influence actual matter.

But her current strength is still inferior to that of the ferocious red-clothed ghost. The hair she released seemed to be very powerful, but it was scattered by the demon corpse general with a slight pull.

The demon corpse general swung his halberd twice, chopping her into three pieces. Seeing her reappear, he picked her up on the tip of his halberd and observed her in confusion: "What the hell are you?"

The power of creation in the mysterious spiritual realm is beyond the comprehension of ordinary practitioners.

Everyone has inner demons, and everyone knows about them, but no one can imagine that they can manifest themselves.

He saw that Heishan Xiaoqian was not a ghost, not a spirit, not the primordial spirit of a cultivator, nor a spiritual clone. He really couldn't understand what kind of existence she was.

At this time, Yang Qisheng and Liu Hanzhang were inside the Jingmen, communicating with each other through voice transmission: "This should be one of the three incarnations of the demon corpse. His true body has not been lured out."

Liu Hanzhang said: "Let's kill him first, and then find a way to find his true body!"

The two brothers attacked at the same time. Ten white sword lights about ten feet long flew out from between Liu Hanzhang's hands, wrapped in thunder and lightning, crackling and shooting forward towards the demon corpse.

The demon corpse turned around and waved its Fang Tian Hua Ji to block the flying sword. There were clanging sounds, sparks flew, and lightning flashed everywhere.

Yang Qisheng also activated the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd. He held the bottom of the red jade gourd with his left hand, made a gesture with his right hand, and pointed at the mouth of the gourd. With a clear shout, five-colored fireworks spurted out of the gourd, followed by golden lights pouring out from it!
