I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 187 Revised: Transformed into a Golden Ghost!!!

Baohua Temple.

A meditation room in the backyard.

The meditation room was small, and it was inhabited by Ouyang Lu and Ouyang Yu.

Although they are siblings, they still prefer to live together.

One room, one bed.

Master Yuanfang had initially arranged two rooms for them. On the surface, Ouyang Yu and Ouyang Lu did indeed live in their own rooms. But this was only on the surface; in reality, the two of them lived in the same room.

At that moment, the brother and sister lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Su Yuqing came here earlier.

The two of them were indeed asleep.

brush!
The two opened their eyes at the same time.

Ouyang Yu reached out and tugged at Ouyang Lu's arm. "Brother, Sister Su has left. You can wake up now."

Ouyang Lu then woke up, got up, ran to the window, and looked outside a few times. Only after confirming that Su Yuqing was far away did he breathe a sigh of relief, "Looks like she really is gone."

Ouyang Yu said, "Brother, tonight is the night of the full moon here. Let's go and take a look."

Ouyang Lu shook his head: "If Rakshasa Mother finds out about us, we're finished. Let's not cause any more trouble. Let's just stay here and wait for dawn."

Ouyang Yu said, "But I'm worried about you, young master. If anything happens to you, we'll have nowhere to go."

Ouyang Lu still refused.

Ouyang Yu then grabbed his arm and gently shook it, with a hint of coquetry: "Brother, you were the one who said you wanted to come to Nanzhou with me to see if Young Master Mo could possibly challenge Mother Rakshasa. We've finally made it here, are you going to change your mind?"

Ouyang Lu frowned and said, "Tonight is the night of the red moon, and this place is very eerie. If we go out, we will be easily discovered."

Ouyang Yu said, "As long as our jade pendants are put back together, everything will be fine. It's not like Rakshasa Mother herself came. It's just Jinlong Temple coming to collect rent."

Ouyang Lu still refused.

"Brother, brother..."

After a lot of pleading and calling him "brother," Ouyang Lu finally gave in and said, "I'm really impressed. It's settled then. We'll just go out and check if the young master is in any danger. If he is, we'll find a way to help him escape."

“Hehe~” Ouyang Yu was overjoyed. “I knew that brother liked Xiaoyu the most.”

Ouyang Lu sighed, "I really can't do anything with you. This jade pendant can't be used too often, or we'll die young. Take it out."

Ouyang Yu immediately took out a red jade pendant from his inner pocket. However, the pendant was only half a piece, and it depicted half a person, whose appearance was somewhat similar to Ouyang Yu's. Ouyang Lu also took out a red jade pendant, which was also only half a piece, and it depicted half a person, who also resembled Ouyang Lu.

Click.

The brother and sister bit their fingers at the same time, letting their blood drip onto their respective jade pendants.

hum!
The red jade pendant immediately emitted bursts of red light.

The next moment, Ouyang Yu and Ouyang Lu simultaneously chanted some kind of incantation.

“Ouyang clan, jade.”

“Ouyang family, the road.”

"elder brother."

"younger sister."

"Born on the same day, same year, same month."

"Died on the same day, same year, same month."

Then, the two of them, each holding their own jade pendant, slowly approached each other.

Click!

As the jade pendants merged into one, a burst of red light immediately emanated from them, enveloping the two people. Then, a change occurred: the siblings' bodies began to fuse together, eventually entering the jade pendant.

In the room, only a red jade pendant remained, suspended in mid-air.

Then, the jade pendant transformed into a handsome half-male, half-female figure.

Half of his face is Ouyang Yu's, and the other half is Ouyang Lu's.

And it is no longer a physical person.

But... two voices came out.

"Brother, let's hurry on our way. I reckon the young master has already gone out."

"Don't worry, little sister, just listen to me on the way."

"Ah."

The boy rushed out of the room.

After searching around Baohua Temple, I saw the old monk Baohua walking out of the temple while tapping a wooden fish.

"Brother, can you see where the young master is?"

"We saw it. That Sister Su used some kind of concealment technique on the young master, and she's following behind the old monk Baohua. Let's follow her and take a look."

"Ah."

The boy followed them out of Baohua Temple and saw sleeping worshippers and monks in the streets and alleys. He also saw countless venerable monks with Buddhist statues emerging from the temple. However, these venerable monks did not seem to notice Ouyang Yulu and continued walking while striking their wooden fish.

And so, Ouyang Yulu followed the crowd, gradually making his way out of the core area of ​​Qianfo County and to the foot of the mountain ahead. There he saw countless Dharma Masters calling out in unison.

"Buddha, we've come to offer incense pills."

"Please, Venerable Buddha, accept this incense offering with a smile."

"Please welcome the Venerable Buddha."

"..."

Ouyang Yu's voice rang out softly: "Brother, those two boys are coming down the mountain to collect incense pills."

"Let's get away from here."

"Ah."

Before long, the boy was seen coming down the mountain.

Ouyang Yu: "Brother. These two children look exactly the same as before. They haven't grown up at all."

Ouyang Lu: "The Yin-Yang Ghost Child, of course, will never age."

……

Meanwhile, Chen Mo and Su Yuqing transformed into shadows and hid in the dark, where they saw the pair of boys.

Chen Mo was surprised when he saw the color scheme on the frame:
Golden life force!

Chen Mo was greatly surprised when he saw the square frames on the two boys.

Previously, Chen Mo tried to use his cheat system to examine Jiang Hongyue, but he couldn't even visualize a box around her. It seems the cheat system's recognition range is related to one's own cultivation level.

The corpse demons, whose cultivation far surpasses its own, cannot be recognized.

This is the first time Chen Mo has ever seen a vengeful ghost with golden life force!

At this moment, Chen Mo was standing behind a rock behind a thousand monks, roughly estimating that he was about five hundred meters away from the two boys.

Even so, Chen Mo still felt a pang of fear.

It's a powerful sense of pressure stemming from one's level of cultivation.

Chen Mo felt uncomfortable and repressed from the start.

Chen Mo had to use a calming mantra to restore some peace to his mind. Only then did he focus his vision and continue looking ahead.

[A deconstructable object detected?]

[Should we deconstruct it?]

[Hint: This item can be deduced by consuming 120000 original solution essences]

[Currently available original solution essence: 280000]

Over the past few months, Chen Mo had indeed killed some ghosts and collected some Original Essence. However, the amount was small. Even this small amount of Original Essence was saved by Chen Mo tightening his belt.

Just as Chen Mo was about to make a decision, he suddenly noticed that the squares on the two boys were not completely closed; each was only half. If they were pieced together, they would form a perfect square.

Ok?
Why is it only half?

This is the first time I've encountered a situation like this.

Chen Mo didn't hesitate and made up his mind: to deduce.

hum!
A piercing pain immediately shot through my mind, and my brain's central nervous system tensed up and went into overload mode.

The remaining essence of the original solution in his mind also instantly dropped from 28 to 16.

Before long, the pain in my mind began to disappear, and lines of subtitles appeared:
【Name: Yin Yang Ghost Child】

[Level: A vengeful ghost with golden life force]

[Note: The Yin-Yang Ghost Children are a pair of dragon-phoenix twins. Furthermore, they were born in a Yin year, Yin month, and Yin hour, making them natural vessels for containing ghostly energy and spiritual power.]

[Introduction: This golden-colored ghost possesses two hundred years of cultivation. Its powerful ghostly energy causes irreversible damage to the physical body. Ordinary ghosts with physical forms find it difficult to maintain their golden-colored cultivation for long. They must utilize special containers to survive. The Yin-Yang Ghost Child is an excellent container for this purpose.]

[Logic: The Yin-Yang Ghost Children each bear half of the ghostly energy. When a large amount of golden cultivation is needed, they can merge into one ghost child. Normally, they can remain divided in two.]

Upon seeing this, Chen Mo pondered for a moment: So… this Yin-Yang Ghost Child is a physical ghost. Moreover, according to the cheat system, the higher a ghost's cultivation level, the harder it is to possess a physical form. The Golden Dragon Temple, in order to maintain the physical golden ghost, found a Yin-Yang Ghost Child to serve as a vessel. They certainly went to great lengths.

Chen Mo gathered his thoughts and continued reading:

[Deduction 1: The Yin-Yang Ghost Children are twins born to the Buddha and Buddha's mother.]

[Deduction 2: At birth, the Yin-Yang Ghost Child inherited the bloodline power of its parents. It was born a golden, malevolent ghost.]

[Deduction 3: The Yin-Yang Ghost Child was born bathed in red moonlight, therefore it is not afraid of red moonlight and can even use some of it.]

[Deduction 4: Due to a lack of information, it is currently unknown whether this Yin-Yang Ghost Child is related to the Ghost King.]

[Deduction 5: This Yin-Yang Ghost Child's cultivation level is that of a golden vengeful ghost. You can modify the compatibility. After compatibility, you have a chance to advance to the cultivation level of golden life energy.]

After reading all the information, Chen Mo was filled with mixed feelings of surprise and joy.

What pleased him was that after absorbing the Yin-Yang Ghost Child, he had the opportunity to advance to the Golden Dao Realm.

This is truly a godsend after a long drought.

Surprisingly... this matter is not easy to handle.

This ghost child is the child of the Buddha and his wife.

He's a small fry, but there are two older guys behind him.

A slight misstep could lead to utter ruin.

What are Buddha Male and Buddha Female?
Especially the Buddha Mother, whom I had never heard of before.

Just then, the boy spoke.

"Place your incense pills in front of you and raise them above your heads."

The assembled deities did as instructed, holding bags of incense pills high above their heads, awaiting their acceptance.

The boys and girls exchanged glances and then stepped forward to collect the bags from everyone's hands.

All sorts of things were piled up on the ground.

The boy picked up the largest bag: "Is this from Yuanbao Temple?"

The old monk Yuanbao immediately stood up, put his hands together in prayer, and said, "This humble monk has worked hard to manage the temple and collect incense offerings. This month, we have collected more than usual. Please accept this as a token of our appreciation, Buddha."

The boy nodded: "That's right. I'll send a wisp of this month's red moonlight to Yuanbao Temple later."

puff.

The old monk Yuanbao immediately knelt on the ground and loudly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Buddha."

All around, the sound of countless old monks sighing could be heard.

"Hey, that old bald monk Yuanbao actually stood out and got a wisp of red moonlight."

"That old bald monk Yuanbao is really good at hiding his true colors. Last month he was complaining about being poor everywhere, telling us not to work so hard. But it turns out that this bald monk has been secretly working hard behind the scenes. He's a real scoundrel."

“Just a few months ago, that old bald monk Yuanbao told me that he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to stay in Qianfo County any longer. I never imagined he would be so insidious. What a filthy thing. I can’t be friends with this kind of person anymore.”

"I made a bad choice in making friends; I will no longer have this friend."

"I don't have such a friend. Just consider myself blind before."

"To share hardship but not prosperity is meaningless."

"..."

It's clear that this old monk Yuanbao went to great lengths to secure first place, deliberately misleading his competitors. He gathered a group of old monks to complain to each other, lowering their guard while he secretly rose to power. This is what earned him the resentment of countless people.

However, the old monk Yuanbao ignored all of this and was secretly chuckling.

Just then, the little girl picked up a tiny cloth bag. "This bag of incense pills, is it from Baohua Temple?"

The old monk Baohua stood up tremblingly, and amidst a burst of laughter, he forced himself to speak, "It is this humble monk's."

The little girl said coldly, "Why is there so little?"

Eh.

The old monk of Baohua Temple said, "I've had bad luck. The previous abbot, Pukong, was a good manager, and the temple's incense offerings were decent. But after Baohua Temple was passed down to his son, Yuanfang, things changed. That Yuanfang is a real beast. He thinks about women all day long and doesn't care about the temple's incense offerings at all. I've been dragged down by this beast for a long time."

Humph.

The girl snorted coldly: "I'll give you three months. If you still only have this little bit of incense pills after three months, you don't need to stay in Qianfo County anymore. We don't support idlers in Qianfo County."

The old monk Baohua was greatly alarmed, "Please, Buddha, have mercy!"

The girl said, "Buddha has been merciful to you for a long time. If it weren't for Buddha's mercy, you would have been driven out long ago. There are no room for negotiation for the last three months."

When the little girl glared at him, the old monk Baohua immediately showed a frightened expression and tremblingly replied, "Yes."

The little girl spoke up: "Go back now. Remember to manage the incense offerings well. The Buddha left half of the incense offerings to you for the greater good, not to support a bunch of useless people."

The group of old monks all left.

The old monk Yuanbao was naturally very happy to receive the praise, and his face beamed with joy.

The other old monks looked worried.

"Hey, these days are tough."

"That's right. The Buddha doesn't require us to pay a fixed amount of incense pills, but instead implements a bottom-ranking elimination system. That's too greedy! Everyone is greedy without any bottom line. How can we stand it in the long run?"

"Ugh, I haven't had a single good day. It's tough."

"Alright, alright, complaining is useless. Let's go back early."

"Hey, Master Baohua, what's the deal with Abbot Yuanfang of Baohua Temple? Can you tell us in detail?"

"Great! Tell us about the story of Yuanfang, the host. We're very interested. Haha."

The old monk Baohua, mocked by the crowd, was so angry that his eyebrows shot up: "Get out of here! Get as far away as you can! You just wait. Things change. One day... this monk may still have his day."

"Hahaha, that Yuanfang is always thinking about women. I'm afraid he doesn't have time to manage the incense offerings."

"..."

More than a thousand old monks dispersed.

Chen Mo and Su Yuqing stood outside the crowd, quietly watching everything.

Suddenly, Chen Mo's gaze fell on an old nun, and he said to Su Yuqing, "Xiaoyu, look at that old nun. Could she be a vengeful spirit from Cihang Hui'an?"

Su Yuqing followed Chen Mo's gaze and saw a very old nun, dressed in a gray Taoist robe and holding a whisk, looking quite otherworldly.

Among this group of elderly monks, nuns were quite rare.

Su Yuqing said, "This old nun is also a spirit. She has reached the Great Perfection of the Nine-Sticker Silver Realm. Judging from the direction she left, she should be heading to Cihang Hui Nunnery."

Chen Mo understood.

Su Yuqing asked, "Young Master, what are your plans now?"

Chen Mo wasn't in a hurry: "Let's see how those young boys and girls take the incense pills away first."

"Ah."

Su Yuqing agreed, but didn't rush to leave. Instead, she kept her eyes fixed on the boy and girl.

A short while later, the boy and girl called out towards the mountains.

Then a large horse-drawn carriage sped down the mountain.

The horse was red.

The carriage was also red.

The boys and girls put bags of incense pills into the carriage, then jumped on together and drove the carriage up the mountain.

The boy said, "The incense pills this month are pretty good. Better than last month."

The little girl laughed and said, "Of course. The Buddha doesn't allow them to pay a fixed amount of incense pills, but only makes them compete among themselves. In this way, the cattle and horses will compete endlessly. Naturally, we will receive more incense pills. However, Yuanbao did manage to snatch a prize. In a while, we will go to see the Buddha, explain the situation, and send Yuanbao a wisp of red moonlight."

The boy said, "Yes, at dawn we went to deliver the red moonlight. Giving them a reward will make them work harder to maintain the temple's incense offerings. Giddy up!"

The carriage traveled further and further along the mountain road.

Su Yuqing spoke up: "Young Master, are you just going to let them leave like this?"

Su Yuqing had followed Chen Mo for so long. Naturally, she knew that Chen Mo wanted to kill the boy and girl and then take the opportunity to enter the Golden Realm.

In Su Yuqing's view, given Chen Mo's decisive and ruthless style, there was absolutely no reason for him to let the two boys leave so easily.

Chen Mo said, "The Buddha probably lives on this mountain. It should be the residence of the Golden Dragon Temple. Those young boy and girl are at the Golden Realm. If I get close, I'm afraid I'll be discovered. If I encounter the Buddha, it will be even worse."

Su Yuqing initially wanted to offer to help, but upon further reflection, she felt that Chen Mo's considerations made sense. After all, there was an unfathomable Buddha on the mountain, and even he didn't know the true strength of this fiend.

Su Yuqing was afraid that if she acted rashly, she might ruin Chen Mo's plans. If something went wrong, it would be disastrous.

"What are your plans, young master?"

Chen Mo said, "At dawn, aren't those boy and girl supposed to deliver the red moonlight to Yuanbao Temple? Let's go to Yuanbao Temple and wait for them. We'll wait for them to come to us. Also, we need to make some preparations."

Hearing this, Su Yuqing felt even more at ease: "Young Master did not act rashly, which puts my mind at ease. It is still early, and there are still several hours before dawn, enough time for us to set up our trap."

Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, let's go to Yuanbao Temple to investigate the situation first."

With that, Chen Mo headed towards Qianfo County.

brush!
Su Yuqing suddenly stopped and looked around, her gaze becoming very wary.

Chen Mo was taken aback: "Xiao Yu, what's wrong?"

Su Yuqing said in a low voice, "I always feel like someone is watching us in the dark. Unfortunately, they're quite far away, so I haven't noticed." What?
The mantis stalks the cicada but the oriole follows behind?

Is this okay?

Chen Mo also activated his six senses to the fullest extent, scanning his surroundings, but found nothing. "Xiao Yu, observe carefully. If someone is watching us from behind, we need to be careful."

brush!
Su Yuqing immediately rushed around to check, but finally shook her head: "I didn't find anything. Maybe I'm just being too sensitive. Logically speaking, it's impossible. Apart from that Buddhist monk, I'm afraid no one here has a higher level of cultivation than me."

Chen Mo put his mind at ease: "Let's go to Yuanbao Temple first."

"Ah."

Before long, two dark figures rushed to Yuanbao Temple.

Thanks to Su Yuqing's skillful concealment, the old monk didn't discover them along the way. When the two arrived at the main gate of Yuanbao Temple, they saw that all the oil lamps lit inside the temple had turned scarlet red.

Monks and nuns can be seen sleeping soundly everywhere, along with countless pilgrims.

The two slowly entered Yuanbao Temple.

Compared to the dilapidated state of Baohua Temple, Yuanbao Temple was much more grand and luxurious. All kinds of decorations were extremely valuable, and even the meditation rooms where ordinary monks lived were far more luxurious than the meditation room where Chen Mo stayed.

No wonder he won first place in the incense pill category.

They have a set of methods for running temples.

At this moment, Baohua Temple is deserted. It is completely empty except for one person in the Yuanbao Hall.

It was none other than the old monk Yuanbao.

The old monk Yuanbao sat on the threshold of the Yuanbao Hall, a contented smile on his face: "Hehe, after so many years of hard work, I have finally obtained a wisp of red moonlight. With this red moonlight, I have hope for the future. Once I accumulate enough red moonlight, I may be able to step into the golden realm. Although the Buddha's methods were too ruthless, he also gave a lot. There is still hope for me in this life."

"Yuanbao Temple is now on the right track, and its incense offerings are becoming increasingly popular. In the future, the number of incense offerings will only increase."

"Hehe, the Red Moon Essence. At dawn, this humble monk will be able to obtain the Red Moon Essence."

"Time seems to be passing so slowly; one night feels longer than the past few years."

"..."

Chen Mo and Su Yuqing watched and listened from a distance.

Just then, Chen Mo waved to Su Yuqing and left Yuanbao Temple, heading towards Baohua Temple.

Su Yuqing spoke up: "Why did you leave Yuanbao Temple, young master? Wouldn't it have been more convenient to stay and guard the temple?"

Chen Mo shook his head, thinking of something else: "At dawn, the boy and girl came to deliver the red moonlight."

Su Yuqing said, "I am confident that I can kill those two instantly. It won't cause any commotion. Please rest assured, young master."

Chen Mo was not surprised by these words.

When Su Yuqing emerged from the mirror earlier, she privately told Chen Mo that her abilities extended beyond the Shadow Ghost. She concealed this from him and asked him not to blame her. The reason she hadn't mentioned it before was to avoid upsetting him, and she asked him not to be offended.

The stronger the helpers around him, the better; he'd be happy to have them... How could Chen Mo possibly blame them?

"With Xiaoyu around, killing those young boys and girls is not difficult; the difficulty lies in how to ensure their peaceful end." Chen Mo was troubled by this.

That Yin-Yang Ghost Child possessed a wisp of golden life energy. Even if Chen Mo went all out, he could still kill that fellow. However, it would inevitably involve a fierce battle and cause a great commotion. Clearly, that was inappropriate.

Su Yuqing's swift and decisive action was the most appropriate course of action.

But... what happens after killing the young boys and girls?

The Buddha was furious.

The Jinlong Temple, which had been in seclusion for a century, mobilized its entire force to search for the murderer. Wouldn't they turn Qianfo County upside down?
Admittedly, Chen Mo could have killed the Yin-Yang Ghost Child and run away.

The Southern Continent is so vast that finding Jinlong Temple would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

But this is clearly not the best approach.

Chen Mo came to Nanzhou with even greater ambitions.

Moreover, Chen Mo discovered that Qianfo County was inhabited by a thousand ghosts, as well as Jinlong Temple, Daxue Mountain... Clearly, this was a wonderful place.

I really don't want to leave this place.

We need to find a safe and reliable method.

Su Yuqing immediately understood his thoughts, "Young Master, do you want to find someone to take the blame?"

Chen Mo was taken aback: "Xiao Yu is really smart. If we have someone to take the blame, we can distract the Buddha of Jinlong Temple. Then we can stay at Baohua Temple. There are many ghosts here, which is convenient for me to develop. It would be unwise to leave rashly."

Su Yuqing thought for a moment and said, "If you have this idea, then it's easy to handle. I'll take the blame."

Chen Mo was taken aback, then immediately turned to look at Su Yuqing, but shook his head: "No. Although our marriage is not yet finalized, I consider Xiaoyu to be my closest person. I cannot let you take such a risk."

Hearing Chen Mo's concern for her, Su Yuqing was very happy. "My cultivation has long since entered the golden life force stage. Even if the Buddha himself came, I would not be afraid. Young master, please do not worry about me."

Chen Mo refused forcefully, "That won't do either."

Su Yuqing replied, "I will disguise myself as a nun, pretending to come from outside Qianfo County. I will first greet a few old monks to attract their attention. Then, at dawn, I will go to Yuanbao Temple. I will publicly kill Master Yuanbao, and also kill the young boy and girl who came to deliver the red moonlight. Afterward, I will carry their corpses away in public. When I leave, I will make a commotion so that all the old monks can see me."

The young master then went to the mountain outside Qianfo County to wait for me. At that time, I brought the corpse to see the young master.

Afterwards, all the senior monks knew that an evil spirit had entered Qianfo County, killing young boys and girls, as well as the old monk Yuanbao, before disappearing into the distance. Jinlong Temple would also send people out to investigate the evil spirit. They wouldn't know that the murderer lived in Baohua Temple. Wouldn't that be perfect for both?

Chen Mo was taken aback.

This method is really effective.

In fact, Chen Mo had just thought of this method, but he didn't say it out loud.

Seeing Chen Mo hesitate, Su Yuqing said, "Young Master, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't hesitate. Trust me, I will definitely be safe. If you miss today, I'm afraid it will be a long time before you can reach the Golden Realm."

Chen Mo was tempted.

Su Yuqing continued, "When I was in the mirror, you took me through wind and rain. You always had me with you, and even when facing life-or-death crises, you never considered me a burden, and you never abandoned me. In the end, you sacrificed your life to save me from the dragon sacrifice at Dayin Mountain. I have always been grateful for your kindness and feel very guilty."

Now that I have the opportunity to do something for you, my lord, I am willing to do so wholeheartedly.

"I have no relatives left in this world, and I rely solely on you, sir. I also hope that you will make great progress in your cultivation so that you can protect me."

call!
Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and made up his mind: "Then let's do it Xiaoyu's way. Do you remember there's a canyon outside the county town?"

Su Yuqing said, "After it's done, shall we meet up over there?"

"Ah."

"I understand."

Chen Mo didn't hesitate and turned to leave. After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and saw Su Yuqing standing there looking at him.

Su Yuqing thought Chen Mo had changed his mind, "Young master, please don't change your mind. Let me take care of you this time."

Chen Mo walked up to Su Yuqing and took her hand. Su Yuqing was flattered and her body trembled slightly. "Young Master, you..."

Chen Mo didn't speak, but instead pulled Su Yuqing into his arms: "Xiaoyu, you treat me like family, and I feel the same way. If we find anything amiss along the way, we must retreat immediately. There will be other opportunities to break through to the Golden Dao realm; I can wait. But Xiaoyu is one of a kind. We must not allow anything to happen to her."

Su Yuqing was held tightly by Chen Mo, her body stiffened, and she began to sob: "With your words, young master, it would be worth it even if I died."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I can't do without Xiaoyu by my side."

"Yes, I understand."

"Then I'll wait for you in the canyon. Don't be merciful; they're not human. They're all ghosts. Be ruthless and decisive. Kill them and run."

"I'll remember that."

Chen Mo is gone.

Su Yuqing was all alone by the roadside.

As she watched Chen Mo's departing figure, tears streamed down her face.

Even though she was a princess of a previous dynasty, born into nobility, she suffered a terrible fate at the young age of sixteen in her previous life... and then spent a hundred years in the mirror. She endured a century of loneliness, isolation, repression, and despair.

Now that I've come out, I've returned to this world.

However, the century-long isolation inevitably made Su Yuqing feel unfamiliar and afraid of this world.

These thoughts are inevitable.

It was during her most lonely and helpless time that she met Chen Mo. She then truly regarded Chen Mo as her support.

She smiled somewhat foolishly. Slowly, she returned to the Yuanbao Hall of Yuanbao Temple, hid in the darkness, and quietly watched, then began preparations, waiting for the dawn to break.

On a rooftop far away, another person was hiding in the darkness, staring in the direction of the Yuanbao Hall.

Although it was far away, the courtyard outside the Yuanbao Hall was large enough to offer an excellent view, so we could see it clearly.

This person was Ouyang Yulu.

Ouyang Yu: "Brother. Young Master Mo and Sister Su have separated. It seems Young Master Mo has left Qianfo County. Shall we follow him and go take a look?"

Ouyang Lu: "No need, the key is this Sister Su. I want to see what she's up to."

"At dawn, those boy and girl will come to deliver the red moonlight. Sister Su, aren't you afraid of those boy and girl? They are golden ghosts."

"You know all this, do you think Young Master Mo and Sister Su don't know? They're definitely plotting something."

"What are you planning?"

"I don't know either, we'll find out when we see."

Ouyang Yulu watched and waited.

Finally, dawn broke.

dong dong dong.

A wooden fish sound rang out from Yuanbao Temple, ethereal, clear, and melodious.

brush.

The old monk Yuanbao, who had been sitting on the threshold waiting all night, immediately stood up excitedly, his face full of excitement: "It's here, it's here, this humble monk's red moonlight has arrived."

As he spoke, the old monk Yuanbao, like a child who had received a beloved toy, immediately ran out.

Before long, the boy and girl came in.

The boy held a wooden fish and gently tapped it, producing a very rhythmic sound.

The little girl was carrying a red lantern.

Pfft!
The old monk Yuanbao immediately knelt on the ground and cried out, "Thank you, Buddha, for bestowing upon me the red moonlight. I am deeply grateful for your kindness."

The sound of the wooden fish stopped.

The little girl, carrying a red lantern, stepped forward and approached the old monk Yuanbao. "Buddha has spoken. He praises you for being capable. Today, Buddha bestows upon you a ray of red moonlight. In the future, you must serve Buddha well. If you do well, Buddha will reward you further. If you do poorly, then follow the rules. Do you understand?"

The old monk Yuanbao kowtowed excitedly to the ground: "This humble monk will remember the Buddha's teachings. From now on, I will do my best to serve the Buddha and will never dare to be negligent in the slightest."

Ok.

The girl nodded, then handed the red moonlight in her hand to the old monk Yuanbao.

The old monk Yuanbao accepted the red lantern with both hands, and was so excited that he was incoherent: "Thank you, Buddha!"

Secretly, however, he was overjoyed: He had finally obtained the Crimson Moon Essence. This Crimson Moon Essence was now his... Haha.

The girl and boy exchanged a glance. "Let's go back and report."

"Hmm. We need to get back before dawn. Everything in Qianfo County will be as usual tomorrow. With so many incense pills, it'll be enough for the Buddha to use for a month. Our mission for this month is complete... Who is it!? Ah!"

The boy suddenly screamed and was about to turn around to defend himself when he was shocked to find that he couldn't move his body.

what happened?

The boy glanced at the girl out of the corner of his eye and realized that she was also unable to move.

Looking again at the old monk Yuanbao kneeling on the ground, the old monk was also unable to move.

Then, a nun slowly emerged from the darkness.

Suddenly, he grabbed both of their necks with one hand.

Click!

hiss!
The boy and girl stared wide-eyed at the nun.

Then, he died.

He died without uttering a single word.

When the old monk Yuanbao saw the dead boy and girl, he was terrified, his hair standing on end and his spine turning cold. He desperately wanted to grab the red lantern and run away, but found he couldn't move. Then he saw the nun come and take the red lantern away.

Do not! !

This is the culmination of my life's work.

Can't……

Click.

The old monk... is dead.

When he died, the old monk didn't know how he died; he only vaguely saw that he had encountered an extremely terrifying being.

Then, the nun took the red lantern and the corpses of the boy and girl, and vanished in a flash.

It caused quite a commotion, alarming the patriarchs of the surrounding temples.

"Huh? Isn't that the corpse of the rent-collecting boy?"

"He was actually killed by an evil spirit?"

"Where did this evil spirit come from? How dare it sneak into Qianfo County and commit such a heinous act? It shows no respect for the Buddha!"

"In the past hundred years, no ghost has ever dared to come here to commit evil deeds."

"That evil spirit left Qianfo County."

"Go quickly and inform the Buddha."

"I need to inform you; I dare not go into that mountain."

"Did the boy die in vain?"

"Otherwise what? Why don't you go and be a hero, and stop that evil spirit?"

"Are you crazy? That evil spirit even killed the golden ghost. Wouldn't I be courting death if I went there?"

"That evil spirit also said... it had a grudge against the old monk Yuanbao?"

"Hahaha, good riddance to the bald monk Yuanbao. I knew that old bald monk Yuanbao was dishonest. Now that he has taken the Red Moon Essence, it immediately benefits the evil spirits. This is the end he deserved."

"Good riddance! Without that bald monk Yuanbao, this old monk has a chance to compete for first place, hehe..."

"..."

In the distance, Ouyang Yulu hurriedly left and returned to his meditation room in the backyard of Baohua Temple to lie down.

The jade pendant separated and transformed back into two sisters.

Ouyang Yu couldn't fall asleep at all, and tightly gripped Ouyang Lu's arm: "Brother, that Sister Su is so terrifying. She was able to kill the golden ghost in an instant. So Young Master has such a terrifying helper by his side."

Ouyang Lu was also greatly shocked: "I didn't expect this Sister Su to be so capable. She almost discovered us just now. Fortunately, our jade pendant is magical enough, otherwise you and I would have been exposed."

Ouyang Yu said, "It's alright if we're exposed. I think Young Master Mo treats his people very well; he's loyal and righteous. We've already decided to follow him. He wouldn't harm us."

Ouyang Lu was speechless and did not refute anything, but he was surprised and then became agitated.

"Brother, what was Young Master Mo planning when he killed the golden ghost using this method?"

Ouyang Lu said, "After observing for a while, I think that Young Master Mo intends to use the cultivation of this golden ghost to help him break through to the golden cultivation level."

hiss!
Ouyang Yu gasped, "Young Master is only seventeen years old. If he were to reach the Golden Realm, it would be terrifying. In that case, we could truly tell Young Master that earth-shattering secret."

After pondering for a long time, Ouyang Lu finally nodded: "If you truly break through to the Golden Realm, then this secret can indeed be told to you. Let's see if you can break through to the Golden Realm. This is very important. Otherwise, it's useless."

Ouyang Yu pouted unhappily: "If you ask me, brother, you're just too cautious. What hasn't that young master accomplished along the way? You always judge a gentleman by your own petty standards."

Snapped.

Ouyang Lu smacked Ouyang Yu on the forehead: "I'm being more cautious for our safety. How come I'm being treated like a villain by you?"

Ouyang Yu stuck out her tongue: "I was just saying, brother, don't take it seriously. I know that you're the best person to me in the world."

Ouyang Lu then gave up: "It's good that you know."

……

Eighty li outside the core area of ​​Qianfo County.

There is a very remote canyon.

A river cascades down from above a cliff, creating a magnificent, white waterfall.

There are no people living for miles around; the place is eerily quiet and covered in lush vegetation. Very few people usually come here.

At that moment, a young man in blue robes sat cross-legged on a rock beside a deep pool below the cliff, closing his eyes and practicing his internal energy.

It was naturally Chen Mo.

He circulated his cultivation, but was still stuck at the Silver Great Perfection stage, unable to advance. A massive, invisible barrier was blocking him.

call!
Chen Mo finished his work and let out a long sigh of relief.

Whether or not they can break through to the Golden Realm depends on today.

Just then, a series of footsteps sounded.

Chen Mo immediately stood up and turned around to see Su Yuqing rushing towards him.

She wore makeup and covered her hair with human skin, making her look like a nun.

Upon reaching the body, Su Yuqing tossed it aside, then tore off the skin, revealing long hair. She removed her Taoist robe, revealing a red Xiuhe dress. Then she said to Chen Mo, "Young Master, I have fulfilled my mission."

Chen Mo nodded; "Xiao Yu did a great job. Was your journey smooth?"

Su Yuqing said, "It went very smoothly. Killing a little devil with the cultivation level of a stick of gold is no trouble at all. I will go and keep watch around the area, and you can do as you please, young master."

Chen Mo agreed, and then sat cross-legged in front of the corpse of the Yin-Yang Ghost Child.

Open the panel.

Chen Mo immediately had an idea:

"Revise!"
