Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

"babble--"

"ah--"

Early in the morning, loud singing could be heard from the pool in the mountains.

Voice training, also known as vocal conditioning, is an essential skill in many professions that rely on one's voice.

The same applies to those in the Peking Opera world.

Although Chen Hengyi intended to focus on martial arts, relying on the two fundamental skills of fighting to subdue demons and monsters.

But in reality, singing and recitation are equally important, since he's the only one in his troupe.

He was destined to travel through the heavens alone, each of him a troupe, each one a stage.

If you can only do martial arts but can't sing, what kind of show is that?

Chen Hengyi walked along the edge of the pool, his voice sometimes loud and clear, sometimes long and melodious.

His powerful roar as Zhang Fei was all thanks to his singing skills.

That is also called the Yanren Roar.

This singing style is commonly used in opera genres such as Hebei Bangzi, and its singing style is high-pitched, passionate, and tragic, with a strong impact.

This is how you can scare away Cao Cao's million-strong army.

After Chen Hengyi finished practicing his singing, he straightened up and his gaze suddenly sharpened.

He took a deep breath, his chest resonating, and a roar of "Waaaaah!" echoed through the valley, startling a flock of birds.

Chen Hengyi was about to continue when he suddenly stopped, his expression froze.

I took out the black book and looked at it.

Just a little bit more, and the black book will be turned to the second page.

"Time's up..."

He stayed here for seven days, practicing his skills by the pool every day.

"Let's go then."

Chen Hengyi looked at the last bit and then turned the second page completely.

The next instant, everything went black before his eyes.

Chen Hengyi disappeared into the mountains, leaving only the echoing of his domineering voice.

"I am Zhang Yide, a man from Yan—"

........

[The spear pierces the corpse's throat; those who devoured flesh are all dead. The wronged are redressed, and the injustice of Dou E is no longer heard. The vicious tiger is dead, the fox demon is vanquished, the scourge of corpses is eliminated, and the thousand cranes are preserved. Is this journey truly complete?]

Chen Hengyi returned home and saw this... judgment on the back of the first page?

As he watched, he couldn't help but hum a soft hum.

"Interesting, maybe I can be a scriptwriter on this trip?"

"But I've been gone for so long, I wonder how much time has passed in the real world?"

Chen Hengyi shifted his gaze from the black book and scanned his surroundings.

There was no clock on the wall; he was looking for his phone.

Chen Hengyi's home was just a small courtyard in the countryside.

It has both water and electricity, and everything is fine except that you can't order takeout.

He is currently in the living room, and there aren't many opera performances around him.

There was only one weapon rack displaying modern handicrafts such as the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, the God-Slaying Whip, the Dragon Gallant Silver Spear, and the Overlord Bow.

Chen Hengyi himself is a weapons enthusiast, and he specially commissioned people to make these weapons to imitate famous ancient weapons, which he would occasionally play with.

Finally, Chen Hengyi found his phone on the sofa.

But as soon as he turned on his phone, he was suddenly stunned, because he had forgotten which day he had traveled through time.

After all, he's been staying at home instead of going to work or school, so who would remember the time?

"It's the 18th now, oh well, let's leave it at that."

With a wave of his hand, Chen Hengyi's opera box landed beside him.

I opened the opera box and scanned it.

Then he picked up two calligraphy brushes.

One of them was made from fox fur, using the most essential parts from those three fox demons.

The other one is made of tiger fur, which is stiffer than fox fur.

"I thought I wouldn't be able to bring it back."

This was a small experiment Chen Hengyi conducted; he wanted to see if he could bring back things from other times, and it seems that it is possible.

However, there were limitations. For example, the box gun and some other things that Four Eyes gave him disappeared.

Chen Hengyi thought for a moment: "That's right, I made these two pens myself, which means that anything I bring back can only be something I made myself?"

Thinking of this, Chen Hengyi casually put the two pens away.

Then he looked at the black book.

Turning to the first page, all the tasks he had previously completed appeared in text, and the rewards were also recorded.

The opposite is the summary judgment.

Page 2.

Where you wish to go is up to fate. When you wish to go is up to your own heart.

Chen Hengyi pondered for two seconds, then asked in surprise, "So, the destination is random, but I can decide when to go?"

Looking at it this way, it's quite free, without being restricted too much.

"What will the next world be like?"

As soon as Chen Hengyi finished speaking...

[Trial Li Ruonan for spreading curses, and execute the Great Black Buddha Mother who tarnished the name of Buddha.]

"Li Ruonan, the Great Black Buddha Mother?"

Chen Hengyi felt the name was somewhat familiar, so he quickly turned on his computer and searched for it.

Then it dawned on him.

"So it was that filthy bitch!"

After watching one of the commentaries, he now wants to go in and beat Li Ruonan up.

But that's just a thought; he's only just returned and will definitely need to rest for a while before making any decisions.

Also, practice your basic skills in the real world, hone your abilities, and improve yourself.

Heng means to persevere.

And then... Chen Hengyi took out the Golden Toad Treasure Bag.

At this moment, the golden toad on the wallet looked rather listless, as if it were half-dead.

Chen Hengyi was a little confused. What was wrong with this thing?

Opening the wallet, I found only a small pile of banknotes and coins, and a few small silver ornaments.

I didn't bring the valuables I obtained in the Mr. Zombie world.

He took out a bill, looked closely, and saw that it was 5 cents.

"Oh! Right, all the money is in the bank now, so this little golden toad has no treasure to swallow!"

"Ugh, no way! I still need to go learn opera and mend Zhang Fei's costume. All this miscellaneous stuff just won't be enough!"

The costume for Zhang Fei needs to be repaired as soon as possible, since Zhang Fei is the role that Chen Hengyi plays with the most ease.

Thinking of this, Chen Hengyi immediately contacted a repairman.

A message came from the other side a moment later.

"Hello Mr. Chen, your costume is made of Yun brocade, and the embroidery uses the Cantonese embroidery technique. The damaged area is quite large... The estimated repair cost is 100,000 yuan, and the waiting list is now open until February next year..."

He opened his mobile banking app and saw that his balance was 16211.

Nanjing brocade? Cantonese embroidery?

Chen Hengyi frowned. This flying costume was passed down from his late grandfather. He had no idea that it was made of such good materials and craftsmanship.

He just felt that they were comfortable to wear.

"I don't have the money to fix it..."

Chen Hengyi reached out and flicked the golden toad on his wallet, which immediately made the toad angrily try to bite his finger.

"Is it because you're unhappy that you don't have money?"

The golden toad nodded sadly, then suddenly smacked itself to death on the wallet.

The golden toad is unhappy because it has no money.

Chen Hengyi opened the black book to the first page and reviewed the introduction of the golden toad.

[Golden Toad Treasure Bag: This item exists in the form of a wallet. The golden toad will devour unclaimed treasures and currency within a ten-kilometer radius of you. The more treasures it comes into contact with, the more wealth energy the golden toad generates. Consuming one hundred strands of wealth energy can condense into treasure-dropping coins.]

The treasures swallowed by the golden toad will not generate wealth again.

Chen Hengyi thought for a moment, then asked, "What is your definition of money? Is it necessarily physical money, or anything that society recognizes and that has value?"

Chen Hengyi took out his phone and opened a website: "Digital currency is also currency, and stocks are also tickets."

As the golden toad listened to Chen Hengyi's explanation, it was completely bewildered and didn't quite understand what it meant.

Seeing this, he spent a little more time explaining modern digital currency to the golden toad.

"You said if someone forgot their account, or something happened... then isn't the money unclaimed?"

"Do you know how terrifying the amount of money is? Do you know what it means to be richer than a country?"

At this moment, the golden toad knelt directly on the wallet, its two little claws constantly bowing.

That little expression was pleading, as if saying, "Coach, I want to learn how to trade stocks!"

"However, it only works within a ten-kilometer radius of me. I wonder if it works over the network?"

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he asked, "By the way, if you go to the underworld, can you get ghost money?"

The golden toad hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hengyi's eyes widened immediately.

This... is a concept from God?

"There are more opportunities in big cities. Let me take you around the city first, and we can earn some pocket money."

Chen Hengyi is indeed capable of time travel, but his base of operations is still the real world.

He needs money to do whatever he wants, so this little golden toad can be of great use!
