Chapter 184 Opening the Tongue, The Case of the Execution of Chen Shimei
"Oh."

Compared to his disciple, who was full of fighting spirit, Yu Zhensheng simply gave a nonchalant "oh" and said indifferently, "Remember to hold that Five-Ganoderma Tongue-Clever Pill under your tongue."

Zhou Sheng nodded, then immediately sat down cross-legged, took out the pill and put it in his mouth. He immediately felt a warm breath flowing into the root of his tongue, which felt very comfortable.

At the same time, he released all restrictions, allowing the magic power to rush into his tongue.

With a loud crash, eighty years of cultivation were used in a single strike to shatter the shackles and break the tongue.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Sheng suddenly felt a numbness on the tip of his tongue, which became stiff as iron, and it felt as if ice was sealing his throat, making swallowing feel like swallowing a knife.

The most terrifying thing was that he found himself unable to breathe.

My tongue felt like it was blocking my entire throat, so full that not a single breath could enter my lungs.

Is this the test of opening the tongue's orifice?
He felt a sense of crisis. Although cultivators had strong internal energy and their ability to hold their breath far exceeded that of ordinary people, they would still suffocate if they did it for too long.

What he needs to do now is to use the fire of his heart to melt the ice in his throat before he suffocates to death, turning the ice into a spring, so that his tongue can return to normal.

That solid ice was transformed from "Tongue-Tasting Thought," one of the Six Thieves. Only by burning him to death can one plunder his divine power and gain supernatural abilities.

If you can't get past this hurdle, you'll die.

Fortunately, Zhou Sheng had a solid foundation and vigorous Qi in his five internal organs, which nurtured an exceptionally fiery heart fire, soon causing the solid ice to show signs of melting.

To his even greater surprise, the Five-Zhi Clever Tongue Pill under his tongue began to work its magic, with streams of heat helping to bake away the ice, greatly accelerating the process.

Even so, it took about half an hour for the ice in Zhou Sheng's throat to completely melt away, and his tongue returned to normal from its numb and stiff state.

In the darkness, it seemed as if a divine power surged into the orifice of the tongue, making it shine brightly like a star.

"hot!"

Zhou Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and instinctively shouted out. Then, the magic power in his dantian was rapidly depleted, and the next moment he spewed out a raging flame from his mouth.

Yu Zhensheng reacted quickly, flicking his sleeve to extinguish the flames; otherwise, the house might have been engulfed in flames.

Zhou Sheng came to his senses and realized that he had successfully broken through to the next realm.

That was the supernatural power of opening the tongue orifice. He only shouted the word "hot", without singing Wang Lingguan or spitting Kui fire, but flames inexplicably spewed out of his mouth.

Does the word become law?
He shouted to his master again, "Freeze!"

Yu Zhensheng's body stiffened slightly.

It really works!
Zhou Sheng showed excitement, but the next moment, he was slapped on the head.

Yu Zhensheng's face darkened. He had already broken free from the immobilization and said, "If you dare to misuse this against your master again, I'll whip you."

Zhou Sheng chuckled awkwardly and said, "Master, the supernatural powers after opening the tongue orifice are truly formidable."

Yu Zhensheng gave him a deep look and said, "When ordinary people open their tongue orifices, they can only enhance the power of their incantations. For someone like you to use it so freely, and even have a hint of the power of words becoming law, you must have at least completed the six gates."

"It seems that the pill truly lives up to its reputation. You owe this favor quite a bit."

He had a slight worry in his heart. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The "Bixia Yuanjun" gave this item out of good intentions, but he didn't know what she was after.

However, for an apprentice, successfully graduating is the most important thing; as for everything else... well, we'll deal with that while we're alive.

"Chen Shimei's crime of murdering his wife and children is no small matter; he shall be executed without mercy! Even the sons and grandsons of the emperor shall be punished according to the law, and even imperial relatives shall not be exempt from its judgment..."

As soon as his tongue was opened, Zhou Sheng was very excited and immediately started singing "The Case of Chen Shimei," which he knew best, to verify the effect of the tongue opening on the lyrics.

For a sorcerer, the lyrics of a sorcery are incantations, mantras, capable of subduing demons and exorcising evil spirits.

As the opera aria began, though he had not yet applied makeup, a bright crescent moon appeared between his brows, radiating righteousness and exuding an aura of integrity.

A guillotine blade is faintly visible, with a dragon head coiled on it, majestic and awe-inspiring, its eyes slightly moving as if it has come to life.

The Dragon Head Guillotine can behead royalty and even the spirits of the underworld. Anyone of high rank and power who has committed numerous evils, whether in the mortal realm or the netherworld, can be brought under this blade and beheaded as a warning to others!

This is not just something said on stage; it has an almost supernatural power.

If there were any evil spirits at this moment, and Zhou Sheng had sentenced them to beheading, they would be placed on the execution platform and under the dragon's guillotine in an instant.

With a single strike, he vanished into ashes; his spirit scattered and his soul dissipated.

This is something Zhou Sheng absolutely couldn't do before he opened his tongue. At that time, he could only impersonate Bao Gong to fool evil spirits. He would need other methods to subdue demons.

However, using the tongue-orifice supernatural power consumes a lot of magical energy, which is why he can afford to use it now that he has eighty years of cultivation.

Yu Zhensheng stared at the guillotine, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes—a mixture of sighing, nostalgia, and reminiscence.

"Now that your tongue is open, you can truly unleash the power of Yin Opera. It is no less powerful than the supernatural abilities of the Taoist sect. Among the hundred schools of Yin Opera, the title of number one in combat is not for nothing."

He spoke with a certain pride, clearly showing his deep affection for the Yinxi opera he had studied his entire life.

Upon hearing the name Yin Baijia again, Zhou Sheng couldn't help but think of the white-haired old man in Lushan who claimed to be a descendant of the paper-making lineage, so he asked him about it.

"I never expected that the descendants of the paper-making lineage would also join the Longhua Sect. It seems that in recent years, the Longhua Sect has been recuperating and developing in secret, and has become increasingly powerful."

"In fact, each of the Yin schools has its strengths and weaknesses. For example, the paper-making school is most afraid of fire. If you encounter paper-making again, chanting Wang Lingguan's name will have a miraculous effect."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sheng asked curiously, "Master, what are the weaknesses of our Yin Opera lineage?"

"Died young."

Yu Zhensheng rolled his eyes at him and uttered those three words.

"In addition, many yinxi performers need a certain amount of preparation time, such as putting on costumes, painting faces, and even preparing their emotions to get into character, so that they can exert the greatest power."

"If the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, we are most afraid of being ambushed. After all, you can't always be wearing a costume and having your face painted."

"Therefore, it is best for a Yin-Yang Master to learn a few other schools of magic and supernatural abilities to protect themselves. For example, your earth-遁法 (earth-遁法, a technique for escaping underground) is quite good."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sheng exclaimed happily, "Master, does that mean I'm the perfect successor in our lineage, without any weaknesses?"

In addition to the Zhengyi Dragon Tiger Earth Pivot Escape Technique, he also possesses the two great supernatural powers of Yazi and Chiwen, as well as the Monkey King's Seventy-Two Transformations, which are extremely useful for hiding and concealing himself.

"Hmph, a perfect successor?"

Yu Zhensheng waved his hand dismissively and said, "Hurry up and leave. With your arrogant attitude, you'll die out there sooner or later. Your master won't be collecting your corpse then."

"Master, but this is my room."

Yu Zhensheng: "..."

The old man stormed off, taking with him the spring water he had fetched from the Immortal Cave, saying he wanted to make tea.

But as soon as he got back to his room, his sour face suddenly changed, and he could barely suppress the smirk from his mouth.

He brewed himself a pot of Yunwu tea, sat in a grand chair, and hummed opera tunes as he sipped it.

The voice was very soft, as if afraid of being overheard, yet it revealed a hint of undisguised pride and smugness.

"Hehe...good apprentice!"

"This story of splitting the mountain to save his mother is far more impressive than my old Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace..."

The song is "The Lotus Lantern," about Chenxiang becoming a disciple of Sun Wukong and splitting the mountain to save his mother!
But then he laughed and cursed.

"Chenxiang is ultimately no match for the Great Sage, but this brat will probably surpass him soon."
