Chapter 55: Demon Slayer
The jade and metal discs evoke endless imagination.
Of course Fang Yi wanted to take away this treasure that might help him in his cultivation.
He went forward to see if it could be dismantled.
My hand just touched the silver sculpture of the devil.
There was a shaking sound from the silver sculpture.
Obviously it's not fixed.
Fang Yi moved the silver sculpture aside.
Just about to look at the metal disc and the jade.
Unexpectedly, the silver sculpture shook violently and the book in his hand fell.
"Huh? Books aren't part of the silver sculpture?"
Fang Yi was very surprised and bent down to pick up the book made of unknown material from the ground.
Opening it, the first page had a line of beautiful regular script: I was fighting with Zhao Guizhen, and this demon claimed that my method was not as good as his, so I opened a stone chamber here...
Yes, they are all traditional Chinese characters.
However, Fang Yi could understand the general content.
The text roughly means that there was a sorcerer named Zhao Guizhen who was going to use magic to sacrifice the lives of thousands of people in a small city to make an elixir, but he was stopped by the female Taoist priest Chen Jinggu who came after hearing the news.
The two men fought each other and neither could do anything to the other.
Finally, an agreement was reached and the two sides had a round of fighting bets.
If Zhao Guizhen wins, then Chen Jinggu will no longer have to stop him from sacrificing the lives of thousands of people in the small town to cultivate the golden elixir.
If Chen Jinggu won, Zhao Guizhen would obediently follow her back to Lushan Sect and become a prisoner.
Therefore, Zhao Guizhen set up the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Seven Killings Death Formation" here, and did not use his own magic power to activate it. Instead, he specially laid down the Zhen Yang Gathering Spirit Formation to allow the Seven Killings Death Formation to operate automatically.
He also threatened that he would kill a hundred people with his death array within a hundred years.
If they can't do it, they lose.
If she does, Chen Jinggu loses the bet.
Although Taoist Master Chen Jinggu is a woman, her methods are even more ruthless.
She didn't even set up a spirit gathering formation.
He directly set up a soul-absorbing formation to absorb the divine power released by the Seven Killings Formation to maintain the formation.
Because the two had to leave the stone chamber, it could not be sealed. The stone door would definitely allow the power of the Seven Killing Formation to leak out, so Chen Jinggu erected a statue of a general outside that could summon the soldiers of the earthly immortals to prevent the power of the Seven Killing Formation from leaking out and actually killing people.
This is not considered cheating.
After all, if the two of them did not leave the stone chamber, Chen Jinggu could easily create a perfect soul-sucking formation.
Although Chen Jinggu fought with the demon Taoist Zhao Guizhen out of spite, she still remained rational.
She was afraid that something unexpected might happen to the two sides during the hundred years and they would not be able to break the formation in time, so she agreed with Zhao Guizhen to leave a flaw in the formation.
That is the separation of the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Seven Killings Formation" and the Spirit Gathering Formation.
As long as you take away the red book containing the Seven Killings Formation, the formation will collapse on its own.
Her starting point was good, after all, she could make the demon surrender without a fight.
But who knew that when the hundred-year bet expired, the two of them didn't know what happened, and in the end they failed to arrive as promised to break the formation.
Fang Yi had some knowledge of the names of these two people.
Chen Jinggu was the founder of the Lushan School and is still worshipped as a deity today, called the Heavenly Mother. However, she died young, and it is rumored that she passed away at the age of twenty-four or twenty-five.
Although Zhao Guizhen was born during the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang, he was active during the reigns of Emperor Jingzong of Tang and Emperor Wuzong of Tang. His evil Taoism brought disaster to the country and the people. In the sixth year of Huichang, Emperor Wuzong of Tang died suddenly after taking the elixir made by this man. There are rumors that he was beaten to death, and there are also rumors that he fled to Lingbiao.
Speculated based on the deeds of the two people and the texts left by Taoist Master Chen Jinggu.
Chen Jinggu might have suffered serious internal injuries when fighting with Zhao Guizhen. She knew that she could not hold on for long, so she deliberately used such a long period of one hundred years to restrict Zhao Guizhen from continuing to sacrifice the people of the small town.
But Zhao Guizhen didn't know this. He was afraid that Chen Jinggu would cause trouble for him, so he later hid in the palace to practice magic.
One died young.
One of them got into trouble and was beaten to death or fled to the Lingbiao area.
Naturally, no one came to break the formation.
"I see."
Fang Yi finally solved some of his doubts.
Now there are only three questions left.
First, how exactly does the Seven Killings Formation create terrifying dreams for everyone from a distance.
Second, why do people’s dreams differ from their experiences in the divine realm?
Thirdly, Zhao Guizhen hadn’t even cultivated the Golden Elixir, so why could the Seven Killings Death Formation he set up be able to trap the soul of a Golden Elixir master like him?
All this should be revealed after I simulate the Seven Killings Formation, and then I will know the real reason.
Fang Yi lowered his head and looked at the red book containing the Seven Killings Formation.
This book is a magical instrument.
Turn the book to page two.
Fang Yi saw a palace and countless stars painted on it.
It was exactly the same as the previous divine realm.
I guess this is why the magic circle can also manifest the divine realm.
Pages 3 to 8 depict the seven levels of the seven spirits seen in the divine realm before.
Page nine shows the Daytime Devil.
There is a line of words next to the Daytime Devil: Cut off seven spirits, lock three souls, these are the seven arrows that nail the head.
"Uh, the Seven Arrows Book?"
Fang Yi couldn't help but be shocked, "Does this thing really exist?"
He found it a little unbelievable, but then he became excited and thought to himself: "If anyone offends me in the future, I can use the Seven Arrows Book to kill that person without anyone noticing!"
As soon as this thought came to mind, Fang Yi was shocked by himself.
"I am a simple person by nature, why would I have such a vicious thought? Also, when I was trapped in the depths of the starry sky, why did my emotions fluctuate so much in my spiritual state? Logically speaking, the spiritual state should be relatively rational, so what happened just now?"
He suddenly remembered that he was in the realm of "slaying the three corpses" in his practice.
I think this is the influence of the Three Corpse Gods, which is why I have evil thoughts in my mind.
If one wants to kill the Three Corpses, one must first be influenced by the Three Corpse Gods.
Otherwise, if you don’t even know where the Three Corpse Gods are hiding, how can you kill them?
"Okay, let's clean up here and go back to the hotel first. After I recover my strength, I will simulate the energy field of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Qi Sha Jue Ming Formation and see what this formation is all about."
Fang Yi did not stay any longer.
He first immersed his soul into the statue model to copy the structure of the soul-absorbing array and the soul-gathering array. Then he used the invisibility function of the teaching technique to move the disc, green jade, the silver sculpture of the daytime devil and the bronze statue of Asura out one by one in batches.
Fortunately, the silver sculpture is hollow, and although it looks big, it is actually not heavy, weighing only about 20 kilograms, which is about the same weight as the bronze statue of Asura.
Of course, it is necessary to take away the bead at the core of the soul-absorbing array.
…
Small mountain village, on the stone road.
Fang Yi held a metal disc in one hand and a bronze statue of Asura in the other, and he also had a silver sculpture of the devil on his back.
Originally, he wanted to quickly get to the village entrance and throw the things into Xu Xiaoli's car.
As a result, when I just walked near Li Guangliang's house, I saw a group of people gathered.
Fang Yi doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, so logically he wouldn't go over.
But maybe it was because of the influence of the Three Corpse Gods, but today he actually felt curious and took the initiative to go over to see what was going on.
A group of people gathered to watch an old man painting a portrait with a brush.
Li Guangliang was also here, but he didn't seem to be very popular and was squeezed outside the crowd.
"The look is not quite like it."
"Yes, the gods look more like sharp eyebrows and starry eyes."
"What the hell are you drawing? Is the god that thin? He must be big and strong, otherwise how can he exorcise demons?"
"And you have to look more ferocious, otherwise you won't be able to scare away the evil spirits."
A few old men were pointing and talking.
Fang Yi took a closer look and saw a man with a black face, angry eyes, and a burly build. Behind the man was a golden dragon with flames spewing from its mouth. Next to it was written vertically: To the True Lord Yanling Nanke Danwu who kills demons.
"Zhi" is a respectful word for gods and immortals. Two words of the same or higher level include "lijing".
For example, when addressing the Jade Emperor, it is necessary to put “Respectfully” in front of it, and then the full name of the Jade Emperor “The Great Lord of Heaven, the Most Holy, the Merciful and Benevolent Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, the Mysterious Sky High God”.
Yanling refers to the place where gods live. There may be a mountain or place called Yanling here.
Nan Ke Dan Wu Lu Mo is the name of the god.
Zhenjun is an honorific title for gods, for example Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun, but Zhenjun is generally used to refer to middle-level gods, whose status is not too high. Those with too high status are generally called Emperor, Great Emperor, Tianzun and so on. Of course, it is not too low either, because those with too low status do not have such honorific titles.
Who is this person in the painting? Why is he so ugly?
Fang Yi watched with interest.
Suddenly, Li Guangliang noticed him, and immediately stepped forward with a look of awe and greeted him cautiously, "Immortal, why are you here?"
"Oh, just come and take a look around." Fang Yi said perfunctorily, then pointed at the deity in the painting with his hand holding the metal disc, and asked curiously: "Which deity are you painting? Why haven't I heard of the name?"
Li Guangliang blinked and said, "The immortal in the painting is you. Last night you appeared in a dream and saved everyone. The villagers are planning to build a shrine for you and worship you."
Fang Yi: “…”
Damn it!
Is that ugly guy in the painting me?
Hearing this, Fang Yi was speechless, and at the same time he knew why the divine title was called "Nan Ke Dan Wu Lu Mo Zhenjun".
Because he appeared in dreams, he was given the nickname Nan Ke, which means dream.
Dan represents red.
Wu means bravery.
As the name suggests, Demon Slayer refers to the killing of evil demons.
The title of the god most likely refers to the real lord who is surrounded by red light in dreams and is brave and powerful enough to slay demons.
After understanding the situation, Fang Yi lost interest and said goodbye to Li Guangliang. He waved his hand casually and said, "Okay, then I'll leave first if there's nothing else. Goodbye, Mr. Li."
"Master, have a pleasant journey." Li Guangliang said respectfully in a loud voice.
Originally, the others were concentrating on watching the old man draw the image of the Demon-Slaying Lord and did not notice Fang Yi.
As a result, Li Guangliang shouted the word "Zhenjun" a little loudly.
Uncle Qi, who was standing in the crowd, turned his head inadvertently when he heard the voice, and then he saw Fang Yi.
Uncle Qi was suddenly stunned!
The person next to him turned his head and shouted, "Hey, Lao Qi, I'm asking you if you remember what a deity looks like. What are you standing there in a daze for?"
Uncle Qi suddenly woke up. He was excited and surprised. He pointed at Fang Yi's back with one hand and at his own mouth with the other, and stammered, "I... Master... I..."
The man who spoke earlier wondered, "What are you, True Lord?"
Uncle Qi calmed down a little, pointed ahead and said loudly: "I saw the True Lord! The True Lord just appeared here and had a conversation with Lao Li!"
"What?"
"The True Lord has shown his divine power?"
"Where? Where?"
"Where is the True Lord?"
A group of people suddenly turned their heads!
It was a pity that they turned around too slowly. At this moment, Fang Yi left the village, leaving only a radiant back view for everyone...
Well, it was caused by the reflection of the silver sculpture on Fang Yi’s back.
