Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

Chapter 20 Auspiciousness at Your Side

Chen Hengyi watched as Si Mu entered the cave, and he also took out the black book when he had a moment.

Upon opening it, the quest "[A demon lurks at the place where the wild fox worships; it should be eliminated!]" was flashing.

"I saw the wild fox, but not the lewd priest," Chen Hengyi muttered.

Immediately following his will, the black book began to change.

The demonic calamity has been averted, and illicit worship has ceased; those who come and go can now rest in peace.

After completing the task of slaying demons and monsters, the black book will provide a summary.

Chen Hengyi thought it was alright, but the best thing would be the reward later.

He had just finished reading the task summary when it disappeared.

The reward will follow.

[Ruyi Suishou: Allows you to hide and move freely. Restricts contact with living beings and other people's belongings; the weight will not disappear.]

After Chen Hengyi finished reading the reward, the irrelevant text on that page of the black book disappeared.

All that remains is the text "Saving a Thousand Cranes," a solitary passage.

"May your wishes come true?"

He looked at the eighteen-foot spear.

"You're the one!"

With a thought, the eighteen-foot spear actually disappeared.

As a result, he could feel that the eighteen-foot spear was still there, as if it had become his third hand, which he could use at will.

Its own weight is distributed throughout the body.

With a whoosh, the spear was flung away, but it reappeared in Chen Hengyi's hand the next second.

"Hey, this is fun!"

He looked at the heavy opera box.

With a whoosh, the opera box disappeared.

"Great! Now I have storage space too!"

Who doesn't bring a storage space when they travel through time? Otherwise, they'd be embarrassed to call themselves a time traveler.

The only downside is that it's not a real space; it just shrinks your personal belongings to a tiny size and hides them on your person.

It's like how the Monkey King hid his golden cudgel inside his ear.

Even so, it's still much more convenient!

Then, I looked at the tiger spirit's corpse.

"I've heard that every part of a tiger is valuable, so wouldn't this tiger spirit be incredibly precious?"

Chen Hengyi touched the tiger spirit's fur, then turned its body over to take a look.

"Oh! It's a male tiger!"

Chen Hengyi was studying it when Si Mu returned shortly afterward.

Four Eyes' face was gloomy, and the sword in his hand was covered in something dirty.

Chen Hengyi asked, "How did it go?"

"Hmph, that beast erected a shrine and devoured many people, but I smashed it all."

Chen Hengyi wanted to say something, but the next second...

A loud noise suddenly erupted inside the demon's lair, and the rocks collapsed with a rumbling sound.

In the blink of an eye, the hole was covered up.

Si Mu said calmly, "So that nothing else will try to get inside later."

The two then began to dispose of the tiger spirit's corpse.

"These are all good things. When we get back, I'll use these tiger bones to make you a whole tank of precious nourishment."

The two hurriedly dissected the tiger's essence: tiger penis, tiger bones, tiger teeth, tiger brain, tiger gall, tiger heart...

.........

By the time the two returned to Simu's house, it was already evening.

A large pile of tiger materials was stacked in the hall of the Four Eyes family's house.

Chen Hengyi carefully repaired Zhang Fei's theatrical robe.

Jia Le and Chen Lingxiu are cleaning up materials related to tiger spirits.

Ikkyu and Qingqing are Buddhists, so they don't touch these bloody things; they're just making dinner.

Meanwhile, Simu was lying in a chair, drinking hot tea and sharing his experiences of the day with everyone.

"Guess what?"

"With a sudden counterattack, Zhang bastard pierced this beast's skull!"

He made a coin-sized shape with his thumb and forefinger and gestured with it.

"With a roar, the two vixens were so frightened that they dared not turn around, and hundreds of vengeful spirits were instantly annihilated."

"This kid is like Zhang Fei reincarnated; he's unparalleled in his might!"

Jiale forcefully lifted the tiger head in his hand, and saw that there was indeed a hole between its eyebrows.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Brother Yi is so amazing!"

Even the master and apprentice Ikkyu, who were working in the kitchen, couldn't help but look over, only to see Chen Hengyi diligently sewing clothes.

Is this really a powerful figure who single-handedly fought a tiger demon? Why is he doing needlework?

Strange, there's a bit of a contrast.

This doesn't seem to be the same person as the one Si Mu described.

Si Mu suddenly slapped his stomach again: "That beast's tail is like a whip, and Zhang Xiaozi took that blow to the side, but—"

Before he could finish speaking, Si Mu suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Chen Hengyi, who was threading the needle with steady movements.

Si Mu strode forward and ripped open Chen Hengyi's clothes, only to find that he was completely unharmed.

Si Mu was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you get hit by that beast's tail? How come this...?"

He remembered seeing it clearly; the tiger spirit's attack was enough to break a large tree in half. He had previously thought it might be the deity Zhang Fei, and that he would be fine for a while.

But now that he's out of character, why does he seem like nothing happened?

Chen Hengyi naturally couldn't say that he possessed the Qi Absorption and Rejuvenation Technique, which could be considered a great breathing and blood-restoring method.

"Of course, this is thanks to the blessings of our ancestral master!" Chen Hengyi said, bowing in the direction where the Huaguang portrait was hanging.

Si Mu gasped, "I was thinking you needed to recover from your injury... but what's wrong with your constitution...?"

For a moment, none of the four could find a suitable word to describe it.

Perverted? Amazing?

Si Mu shook his head and muttered to himself, "When my senior brother told me you were someone Marshal Hua Guang had taken a liking to, I didn't quite believe it..."

Chen Hengyi smiled and then said, "I was also aided by Zhang Fei at the time, so my injuries weren't too serious."

"Really?" The four eyes held a hint of doubt.

"certainly!"

"Okay." Si Mu didn't dwell on the issue and went back to lie down on the chair.

He didn't speak again, patting his thigh with his eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought.

Chen Hengyi knew that his performance was somewhat outstanding, but... it didn't matter.

Anyway, he had already planned to wait for Chizuru to bring the zombies to his door, then kill the zombies and leave.

......

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Hengyi was soaking in a vat of medicinal wine, which contained many good things, but the most important ingredient was the tiger spirit's treasures.

There was no fire burning underneath, but the medicinal wine was bubbling and gurgling.

A blush gradually spread across her body as the essence of tiger bone seeped into her meridians through her pores.

He circulated the "Five Manifestations of the Spiritual Official Playing with Fire Scripture," and the fire in his dantian suddenly surged violently.

The essence of the tiger spirit was absorbed by the fire, just like firewood.

The Four Eyes lineage is very skilled at refining the physical body, after all, they produced a master of muscle.

This is precisely how Si Mu, after consulting ancient texts, used tiger essence as the main ingredient and added other prepared secret medicines to finally produce this jar of medicinal wine.

Chen Hengyi was immersed in it, and the powerful medicinal effects were absorbed by the fire. At the same time, he felt his body become stronger.

As for how strong it is, and in what aspects it is strong.

He didn't know because he hadn't tried it yet.

But the most obvious change now is that his senses have become much sharper.

For example, at this moment, he suddenly heard a group of unfamiliar footsteps approaching from a distance.

There were many people, and among them seemed to be something heavy, grinding against the earth and making a hissing sound.

Suddenly, he opened his phoenix eyes, his pupils clear and bright, as clear as a sky washed by rain.

"Who is it? Could it be Chizuru?"
