Under One Person, Mountain and Sea Painting Demon

Apart from the old Taoist priest and Grandpa Lu, the most surprised person present was Tang Miaoxing. He was also the one who had the deepest contact with Youfang among all the sect representatives present. He had even personally examined the boy's body and understood his abilities.

Therefore, after seeing the dense paintings of exotic beasts on his body and feeling the mysterious aura emanating from it, he knew that this kid's cultivation might have made a leap forward. This made him look at Tang Yingjie standing aside, his eyes slightly condensed.

"Yingjie, let me ask you, has there been any abnormality with the 'Ear Rat Picture' behind you recently? How is the alchemy furnace in your body?" He asked softly using Qi to transmit sound.

"There's nothing unusual. The alchemy furnace is still the same as before. I have been trying to repair it with Qi these days, but the progress is still quite slow." Tang Yingjie replied.

"Well, that's good. There's no need to rush about the problem with the alchemy furnace. Take your time. It will be repaired one day." Tang Miaoxing nodded. Since there was no change in the "Ear Mouse Picture", that was the best.

In fact, up to now, he no longer cares whether Youfang's ability to seal the pill has improved. As long as it doesn't show, he can turn a blind eye. This is also the decision he made after weighing the current situation!

Apart from anything else, if it weren't for this kid's plan, this "Divine Machine Hundred Refinements" would never have reached the hands of the Tang Sect. Although it might be common in the future, if it is cultivated one step earlier, it can be many steps ahead of other sects.

Moreover, the Tang Sect is already proficient in all kinds of hidden weapons and are closely connected with weapon refining. With this "Divine Machine Hundred Refinements", the Tang Sect will surely be able to reach a higher level. It is possible that they can even research new peerless methods and solve the problem of Dan Devouring!

If the Tang Sect still wanted to harm You Fang under such circumstances, it would be hard to explain. As the leader of the Tang Sect, he really didn't have such a thick skin...

Not to mention, this kid now has connections with the Lu family and the old Taoist priest. Even if the Tang Sect really wants to do something to him, it will be difficult to succeed.

However, Tang Miaoxing did not tell Tang Yingjie about his thoughts, nor did he withdraw his orders to Tang Yingjie. This was his test for Tang Yingjie, and the purpose was... to train his mind!

In his opinion, if the day he ordered really came, then no matter what choice Tang Yingjie made, it would be a good thing for the Tang Sect, and he would gladly accept it.

At that time, if Tang Yingjie takes action, the younger generation of the Tang Sect will have an assassin who truly possesses the "heart of an assassin", and the roots of the Tang Sect will be passed down...

If Tang Yingjie does not take action, it means that he is loyal and righteous, and he is really a good person. Anyway, he is already planning to promote the reform of the Tang Sect. Only such young people can become the foundation of the new Tang Sect in the future and let the Tang Sect step into a new era!

All in all, no matter what the outcome of this matter is, the Tang Sect will not lose out. This is the so-called "win-win" situation - the Tang Sect wins twice!

Thinking of this, Tang Miaoxing couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. He quickly put away his little thoughts and looked at Youfang again.

At this moment, under the gaze of hundreds of people around him, You Fang also began to move, emitting white Qi all over his body...

hiss--! ! !

In an instant, the "Three Levels of Reverse Rebirth" was activated, and his entire body turned pure white, like a piece of white paper, making the ink painting on his body even darker, like a human-shaped scroll!

Immediately afterwards...

Wow! ! !

The black beasts on Youfang's body began to swim, circling around his body, and then leaped up one by one and hovered above his head...

next moment……

Wow! ! !

The twelve strange beasts all melted and turned into twelve ink balls, which then merged together to form a huge ink ball.

boom! ! !

After that, the white Qi around You Fang completely exploded, carrying his blood and essence directly into the ink ball, merging with the ink ball, making it appear to be a harmonious blend of black and white...

And soon...

Poof! ! !

The ink ball suddenly broke open right below, and blood and ink splashed down on his head, covering Youfang's entire body, and the "pseudo-immortal" state was activated!

"Huh? This is..."

This time, seeing the changes in Youfang, even the old Taoist priest couldn't help but fix his eyes, with golden light condensing in his eyes, wanting to take a closer look.

He never thought that he could see traces of "immortality" in a young man who was only twenty years old. Although it was only a tiny bit insignificant, it was enough to surprise him!

"Yes, it is really 'immortal energy'!" After feeling it carefully, the old Taoist priest quickly confirmed that after the ink ball and Youfang merged, a trace of immortal energy was actually produced.

The reason why he was so sure was because he had been immersed in it for many years and was extremely familiar with this breath. This was a state that could only be reached after achieving "harmony between man and nature" and aligning oneself with nature. It was also the true way to embark on the path to immortality!

"This kid's innate supernatural power can actually lead him to immortality. Can such a mysterious ability really be born in this world?" Looking at Youfang opposite him, the old Taoist priest felt doubtful, but he quickly relaxed and no longer cared about it.

Because no one in this world knows better than him that the universe is so vast and contains so many mysteries that no one has ever been able to truly see clearly. And now that he has the opportunity to get a glimpse of the mystery of the innate way to immortality, he naturally has to experience it well and verify it with his own insights over the years. Maybe he can take another step forward!

At the same time, not only the old Heavenly Master, but also the other old seniors present, and even a group of young and middle-aged disciples, saw Youfang's "pseudo-immortal state" for the first time. Feeling the mysterious aura rising rapidly in the ink, everyone widened their eyes.

Especially Mr. Lu, he never thought that this "Triple Level of Reverse Life" could be used in this way. The key point is that he looked at it for a long time and really couldn't find any problems, which made him even more shocked.

"Not only can he use his innate superpowers to practice acquired techniques, but he can also combine his innate superpowers with acquired techniques to go a step further. This kid's talent... wow!" He couldn't help but smack his lips.

Moreover, through his own practice of the "Tongtian Lu" method, he, like the old Taoist priest, could feel the mysterious aura from the way of heaven and earth. He couldn't help but feel even more amazed and surprised!

"My baby, this boy is really the baby of our Trinity School!" At this moment, Mr. Lu's expression suddenly became excited, and a feeling of sadness surged in his heart, and his body trembled unconsciously.

For so many years, he had been burdened with guilt towards the Trinity Sect and his master, and had been searching for a top talent who was capable of practicing the "Three Levels of Reverse Rebirth" for so many years, but he had not been able to find one. And now... he had appeared before his eyes!

At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling that with the talent and ability shown by this kid, maybe... He didn't dare to think about it anymore, for fear that he was asking too much and making all this come to nothing.

As if noticing his abnormality, the old Taoist priest beside him suddenly moved his eyes slightly and said softly: "This kid might be able to cultivate your 'Three Stages of Reverse Rebirth' to the third stage!"

"!!!"

"Zhang Zhiwei, what did you say? Say it again!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu could no longer remain calm. He turned around and grabbed the old master's shoulders, staring into his eyes.

"I say, this kid might be able to cultivate 'Innate Qi'. Looking at his current state, although his cultivation and quality cannot be compared, his Qi level has surpassed you and Taoist Zuo." The old Taoist smiled.

"What you said... is true?!" Of course, Mr. Lu believed in the old Taoist's eyesight. He himself also had a vague feeling about it, but it was still hard to believe.

After all, this kid is only twenty years old!

To reach this level at the age of twenty is unprecedented in the history of Trinity Sect. Even looking at the entire extraordinary world, there are probably only a handful of such people!

moment……

Mr. Lu finally calmed down and asked, "Zhang Zhi... Old Heavenly Master, let me ask you, do you think that when you are 20 years old, you can beat this kid?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered the slap in the face, but quickly dismissed it.

"I've never fought him, but it would be much more troublesome to win than to beat you. After all, this kid's methods are quite strange..." After looking at Youfang who was still covered in ink on the opposite side, the old Taoist priest responded.

"You old thing, you really are..."

Hearing this, Mr. Lu was immediately displeased, but then he was stunned for a moment, then pointed his finger at You Fang.

"Then take a look at this kid, what are his chances of winning now?"

"Ok?"

The old Taoist raised his eyebrows, with surprise revealed in his eyes.

At this moment, the blood and ink on Youfang's body suddenly began to condense and deform, and then turned into a black and red animal fur robe with one arm bare, which was draped over his body.

At the same time, the blood and ink on his face solidified into a mask with beast-like face, fangs, and four golden eyes, which looked extremely ferocious. His hair was dyed blood red, making him look furious and arrogant!

Then, he took off the "Mountain and Sea Scroll" from his waist and drew out the "Demon Painting Brush", on which the remaining blood and ink also condensed...

In an instant, an iron spear wrapped in a Wu Nuo curse cloth and a black and red shield engraved with twelve beast patterns and covered with witch patterns also appeared. He held them in both hands and they collided with each other!

when! ! !

In an instant, the whole village was resounding with the sound of metal, and within this sound were faint roars of beasts, which were extremely wild and fierce.

But in this wildness, there seemed to be a series of incantations hidden in it. The weirdness of the incantations and the fierceness of the beast's roar combined together and drilled into everyone's mind.

At this moment, the young and middle-aged people present felt their hearts sink, a chill grew in their hearts, their hearts were beating wildly like drums, and it felt extremely creepy.

The eyes of several old seniors were fixed, feeling the wonderful meaning contained in the voice, and they were all amazed that Youfang could reach such a wonderful state at such a young age!

Heaven and man are one!

There is no doubt that this is the unity of man and nature!

Before, other people couldn’t see it clearly with their eyes, but now they could finally see it clearly after feeling it with their own eyes!

They could all sense that, although the sound was strange, it contained the wonders of heaven and earth, and the principles of nature...

When they have reached a level of cultivation like them, they have most likely been in such a situation before, and they will have some understanding of this. If they experience it carefully, they will definitely not make a wrong judgment!

As a result, the group of old men were even more shocked. After feeling it for a while, they couldn't help but look at You Fang with new eyes, and refreshed their understanding of this boy.

Originally, their evaluation of this kid was just "genius", and at most "top-level", but now it is different, their eyes unconsciously drifted to the old Taoist priest, subconsciously comparing them with the old Taoist priest.

Of course, except for Mr. Hong from the Huode Sect, the other old men are not much different in age from the old Heavenly Master. Naturally, they had heard of the old Heavenly Master’s reputation when they were young. Judging from the rumors alone... they are at least on par with him!

Even though Youfang has now easily entered the wonderful realm of "harmony between man and nature" and it seems quite rare, the old Taoist priest back then was also amazing. At a young age, he had practiced thunder magic to perfection, and after only a few years of practice, he surpassed his master, the old Taoist priest Zhang Jingqing!

"..."

At this moment, feeling the gazes of everyone, the old Taoist priest seemed to be unaware of anything, his face was calm, and he didn't say a word.

His eyes have been fixed on You Fang since the moment the blood-ink condensed into shape. A gleam of light appeared in his eyes, and the aura of Tao surrounded him!

"This is?!"

After seeing this scene, everyone was even more shocked, because they discovered that the old Taoist priest had entered the state of "harmony between man and nature" without knowing when!

Moreover, compared to Youfang's exaggeration, the way the old Taoist priest entered this wonderful world seemed more natural, so that no one could notice it. It was as if he had really turned this wonderful world into his breathing and could enter and exit at will!

Of course, there is no distinction between the realms of "harmony between man and nature" and the reason why the old celestial master chose to enter is because it is the most suitable for enlightenment and can allow him to see the rhyme and logic displayed by You Fang to the greatest extent...

He could see that compared to the two black beasts before, the power displayed by You Fang now was more profound and closer to the essence of "Tao". Because of this, he had to see it more clearly!

I have to say that the old Heavenly Master is worthy of being the old Heavenly Master. Among all the people present, he is the only one who can clearly feel and see...how miraculous Youfang's state is at this moment!

You know, this "Twelve Beasts Eating Ghosts" is derived from "Recruiting Spirits and Dispatching Generals", which itself contains the ultimate rhyme of "Witchcraft". Coupled with the mysterious and unique "pseudo-immortal state" in the world, the combination of the two can unleash a power far beyond the previous "Poison Immortal" and "Chongming Divine General"!

Looking at Youfang's current form, he is covered in animal skin, has four golden eyes, wears black clothes and red skirts, holds a spear and raises a shield. His name is -

"Fang Xiangshen"!

"Fang Xiang" was originally the name of an ancient official, and later became a god who catches ghosts. In ancient times, there was Wu Nuo who frightened ghosts with his ferocious face, and then killed and drove them away with spears and shields. This is the origin of "Fang Xiang"!

The Book of the Later Han, Volume 95, Rituals and Etiquette, Great Nuo, states:

"On the first day of the first lunar month, a grand Nuo is held, which is called "Exorcising the Plague". The ritual is: select the eunuchs of the Huangmen, aged ten years old and under twelve years old, and make one hundred and twenty of them into "Xiaozi". They all wear red hats and black clothes and hold big drums. Fang Xiangshi has four golden eyes, covered with bear skin, black clothes and red skirts, holding spears and shields. Twelve beasts with fur and horns are used to perform the ritual. The Zhong Huangmen will perform it, and the Rong Consort will lead it to exorcise the evil spirits from the Forbidden City.

The eunuchs said: "Qi Zi is ready, please drive away the plague!" Then the middle eunuchs started the conversation, and Qi Zi joined in: "Jia makes food (evil and evil), Xi Wei eats tigers, Xiong Bo eats ghosts, Teng Jian eats bad luck, Lan Zhu eats misfortune, Bo Qi eats dreams, Qiang Liang and Zu Ming eat crucified dead parasites, Wei Sui eats Guan, Cuo Duan eats giants, Qiong Qi and Teng Gen eat poisonous insects, and all the twelve gods are used to chase the evil and evil, hewing the female body, pulling the female dry, cutting the female flesh, and pulling out the female lungs and intestines. If the female does not leave in a hurry, the latter will be food." Then they made a square dance with the twelve beasts. "

This is a record of catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits in ancient times, and the content of the song sung by the "侲子" is exactly the "Song of the Twelve Beasts Eating Ghosts"!

Therefore, when the twelve beasts became one and appeared in a "pseudo-immortal state", Youfang naturally became a ghost-catching god, possessing the power to exorcise evil and eliminate evil!

Until this time, Youfang finally took action, and hit the shield with the long spear in his hand. The sound of metal and iron mixed with incantations and beast roars once again echoed throughout the village.

when--! ! !

With just this one move, all the charred bodies lying in the village were shocked, and then streams of soul power emerged from their brows and gathered towards Youfang!

These soul powers were naturally the soul imprints on these people's souls. Under Youfang's control, they were stripped away in an instant...

When these marks condensed in front of Youfang, he raised the shield in his hand. On the shield, twelve strange beasts opened their mouths at the same time and ate all the marks in an instant.

Up to this point, Youfang's mission was completed and his goal was achieved. It can be seen that in the eyes of the people around him at this moment, he was far from being described by the word "stunning"!

But then, he seemed to have sensed something, and did not immediately remove the "pseudo-immortal state". Instead, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the old Taoist priest opposite him.

At this moment, the old Taoist priest had bright eyes and a smile on his face. He raised his chin slightly towards him, as if he was "inviting" him...

"..."

"Ah……"

After being stunned for a moment, the corners of You Fang's mouth under the mask suddenly curled up. He understood what the old master meant and immediately nodded in response!

next second...

Wow!

The iron spear swept across, and the strong wind swept up all the people lying on the ground in front of him, causing them to scatter to both sides, clearing a space in the middle.

Then, he struck his shield with his spear and saluted the old Heavenly Master, while respectfully saying:

"Trinity Sect Traveler, please teach me, old Heavenly Master!"

"what?!"

That’s right, what the old Taoist priest had just sent him was an invitation to exchange ideas. His current state and strength made the old Taoist priest very curious, so he wanted to feel it himself and see it more clearly.

When they heard Youfang's words, the people around them suddenly widened their eyes. They had never expected that Youfang would have the courage to challenge the old Taoist priest. They were once again shocked.

"hehe."

The next moment, a laugh broke the silence. Lao Tian put his hands behind his back and took a step forward: "Okay, you are twenty years old this year, so I will use my strength when I was twenty years old to spar with you, so that some people won't be curious all day long."

As he spoke, a golden light suddenly flashed across his body, and the aura around him rapidly decreased. However, even so, it was still intimidating, and people could not tell whether the "suppression" he was doing was real or fake.

"bring it on."

A second later, the old Taoist hooked his finger at You Fang, and the meaning was very clear - he would only defend and not attack.
