Chapter 50: Bickering
Gong Mengbi stood in the green smoke, and the moonlight fell on the smoke, a hazy blue.
Taoist Master Zhen slowly said, "Who are you and why are you going against me?"
Gong Mengbi said, "You may not believe this, but I was originally asked by a beautiful woman to find her remains. However, her remains were stolen, and her death was related to Wang Lide."
"I had no choice but to re-examine the story of her death, and that's how I found Wang Lide."
"Isn't it a coincidence that Wang Lide has learned the method of collecting and replenishing energy? He is a sex-hungry ghost and is suspected of violating the yin and yang. I thought I would find the remains of a beautiful woman beside him."
"But we didn't find the beauty's body. Instead, we discovered that he was using his meager magic to steal people's life essence. I couldn't stand it, so I followed him for a day and discovered that it was you who taught him the method of collecting essence."
"Then it only takes a little trickery for him to come to you for help."
Taoist Master Zhen couldn't stand his endless chatter and interrupted, "You're just a fox demon, so just mind your own business. This matter has nothing to do with you, yet you're trying to get involved?"
Gong Mengbi said seriously, "Although I am a fox, I know that life is precious. Unlike you, you look like a human, but you are actually just a demon in human skin."
Taoist Master Zhen's beard trembled slightly. "Don't waste time here. I just want to ask you, will you give in or not?"
Gong Mengbi stared at him with his narrow eyes: "No."
"Then die!"
Taoist Master Zhen roared angrily, and the cold light of the Yin-Yang Swords flashed, and they had already turned Gong Mengbi into smoke.
Then, the two swords kept slashing in all directions.
Rumble——
The two swords cut through all the surrounding trees, making everything hiding in the dark unable to hide.
"No." Taoist Master Zhen's eyes moved quickly and his ears listened quietly.
Apart from the sound of flying swords cutting through trees and the sound of branches and leaves falling to the ground, no other sound was heard.
"Still no."
Taoist Master Zhen slapped the sword bag, and the Yin-Yang swords fell into the sword bag.
Without looking back or saying a word, he headed up the mountain again.
But after just a few breaths, he walked back to where he was.
Not only that, Gong Mengbi stood on the branch he had cut off, stepped on two leaves, and looked at him with a smile.
Taoist Master Zhen said with an unpleasant expression, "Who the hell are you? I'm cultivating under the Yin-Yang Dharma King. If I've offended you in any way, I can apologize. Why are you blocking my way?"
"Yin Yang Dharma King..." Gong Mengbi showed a surprised expression, "So you are a disciple of the Dharma King. I am so sorry for your disrespect."
Taoist Master Zhen forced a smile and said, "No fight, no acquaintance. If you let me go, this matter will be written off."
Gong Mengbi sighed: "It's too late. If I let you go, you will kill me even more."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "I was the one who found the bandits to intercept your sacrifice and then plotted to kill the Yin and Yang ghosts. How could you let me go if I let you go?"
"Besides, it's too late. Your Yin and Yang ghosts have already been subdued."
Taoist Master Zhen sneered, his magical power surging around him, and said, "You think you can subdue my Yin and Yang ghosts?"
Gong Mengbi's mouth curled up into an arc: "Of course it's not entirely due to me, it's mainly due to the Yue Mansion's magic weapons."
Taoist Master Zhen was horrified: "Ghost soldiers!"
But in the blink of an eye, he regained his composure: "Even if they are ghost soldiers, so what? I, two ghosts, possess both yin and yang. I have long since transcended ghosts and am not subject to ghost soldiers."
Gong Mengbi said, "If I hadn't sneaked into the cave when you left Yin Yang Temple and headed for the Wang family, I wouldn't have been sure I could have captured the Yin Yang ghosts."
"But after entering the catacombs and seeing your altar and offerings, I knew how to deal with you."
Fine beads of sweat began to appear on Taoist Master Zhen's forehead.
Gong Mengbi continued, "Ninety-eight coffins, half for men and half for women. The corpse-suppressing talismans suppress the men's corpses, and the soul-suppressing talismans suppress the women's souls. You were afraid that the resentment would cause the men's corpses and the women's souls to transform into zombies and evil spirits, so you suppressed them in the cave."
"Your Venerable Tianyang and Madam Diyin are nothing more than Yang ghosts forged from a man's soul and Yin ghosts forged from a woman's corpse. These two Yin and Yang ghosts are the foundation of your dream of immortality."
Taoist Master Zhen, his secret exposed, said, "Immortality is no illusion!"
His face showed fear and fanaticism. "You don't understand. When you start to age and your body gradually decays, you can see the underworld approaching every day."
"But I have a secret Dharma taught by the Dharma King that can grant me eternal life! Yin and Yang are the principles of heaven and earth, the guiding principles of all things, the source of all change, the origin of life and death, and the seat of the gods."
"It's only a sacrifice of a few worthless human lives to achieve the power of Yin and Yang. Mastering Yin and Yang means mastering immortality."
Taoist Master Zhen's eyes were filled with madness: "You are a fox demon, why do you have to stand out for these irrelevant people? I can teach you the secret of Yin and Yang, so that you can share the way to immortality with me!"
Gong Mengbi watched his performance calmly and said calmly, "You've gone crazy."
Taoist Master Zhen laughed heartily: "Once the last sacrifice is completed, I will succeed! Little fox demon, why do you want to stop me!"
Gong Mengbi said: "Yang ghosts are immaterial, they steal and eat human souls, they draw wind and control fire, and they can restrain the Yin soldiers. Yin ghosts are tangible, they steal and eat human corpses, they occupy land and control water, and they are also not controlled by the Yin soldiers."
"You are indeed afraid of death. To prevent the ghost messenger from taking your soul, both the Yin and Yang ghosts are restraining the Yin messenger. Therefore, I have specially chosen today, the day of the full moon, when the moon is in the main position, to judge life and death, sin and blessing, and to deter all evil spirits."
"I only need to devise a scheme to separate your Yin and Yang ghosts, and use a magic array to guide Taiyin into position. With Dongyue below to restrain the soul and Taiyin above to punish, it is enough to suppress the Yang ghost. This is called using the invisible to control the invisible."
"Then, using the Grass Head God as a weapon, I will perform the art of summoning spirits, turning the divine weapons from virtual into real, and use this to deal with the ghosts. This is called using the tangible to overcome the tangible."
Gong Mengbi looked at Taoist Master Zhen and said, "In the end, it's just you. I was waiting for you on the mountain, but who would have thought you'd trust the Yin and Yang Ghosts so much? That's perfect. I can intercept you here and wait for everything to settle. Then I'll send you back to the Yue Mansion for trial."
Taoist Master Zhen laughed and said, "Ridiculous! You little fox demon, you only use your magic to subdue people. What do you think I've been talking nonsense to you for so long?"
Taoist Master Zhen's magical power surged all over his body and poured into the sword bag. The endless sword wind accumulated in the sword bag whistled and blew in all directions.
All the strange smoke and shadows from branches and leaves were swept away.
Gong Mengbi looked at Taoist Zhen in surprise, and then his body twisted and shattered.
Taoist Master Zhen turned around suddenly and saw the fox demon standing behind him, holding a small golden incense burner in his hand. The fragrance in the incense burner was swept away by the sword wind, and the sword energy brushed against the fox demon, and Taoist Master Zhen was able to see through his figure.
Following the sword wind, two sword lights, one red and one white, crossed each other and killed Gong Mengbi.
Gong Mengbi threw the small golden furnace into the sky, and two sword lights intertwined, cutting Gong Mengbi into three pieces.
