Chapter 114: Supernatural Power is Not as Good as Heaven’s Will! Taoist Priest of Mount Laoshan
The soul enters into silence and becomes suspended in suspended animation; once you fall asleep, everything becomes empty.

For ordinary Taoists, taking the Shenxi Pill will put them into a state of suspended death, with their souls in a state of silence and a state of life and death. If they cannot wake up, their suspended death will become real, which is extremely dangerous.

However, the holy fetuses of gods and demons are different. If they practice this method, they will become the most dangerous in the world. Their spirits will be incredibly powerful and the effect of the elixir can be exhausted overnight. For such an existence, they are nothing but a dream.

“The Dao sect has its beginnings, and the Nine Extremes are king… The Nine Inner Alchemy Methods are the best in the world…”

The young man, dressed in casual clothes, had a fiery look in his eyes.

“Master, I heard from my uncle that more than 20 years ago, someone visited our Laoshan Taoist sect. This person was practicing the Holy Embryo of Gods and Demons.” Gu Jingqiu couldn’t help but say.

Laoshan, one of the top ten Taoist temples in the world, is a 5A national scenic area with an entrance fee of yuan. It is located on the coast of Dongshan Province and is known as the No. mountain on the sea.

Therefore, there has been a saying since ancient times that “Although Mount Tai is said to be high, it is not as high as Mount Laoshan in the East China Sea.”

Since ancient times, Laoshan has been a holy place for Taoist practice. The Emperor Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han had visited here to seek elixirs. The great alchemist Xu Fu set out to sea in search of the immortal mountain from here.

As a disciple of Mount Laoshan, Gu Jingqiu was naturally knowledgeable. He had heard of the nine inner alchemy methods, especially the [Divine and Demon Holy Embryo] which was known as the most evil in the world. If one practiced this method, one would surely enter a catastrophe of great darkness.

This shocked him greatly when he heard it for the first time.

The cultivators of Taoism would try their best to avoid the dark night, because once they fall into the calamity, their soul will enter into silence, and all their cultivation will be wasted. If they are lucky, they can save their lives and forget their past and future; if they are unlucky, they will die.

If practicing this method will really lead to disaster, then what is the point of practicing it?
Gu Jingqiu didn’t believe that anyone in this world could master this method.

However, he heard from his uncle that more than 20 years ago, a young man visited the mountain gate. This man’s Taoism was mysterious, and the method he used to refine the inner elixir was one of the nine legends…

The holy fetus of gods and demons!

“The King of the Great Ling Sect…that is an old friend.” Hua Yixun sighed softly.

“Has someone really mastered it? Is he still a human being?”

The corners of Gu Jingqiu’s lips twitched slightly, but a look of deep surprise appeared in his bright eyes.

“Master, I heard that when cultivating the Divine and Demonic Fetus, one must enter a long dark night… Once one enters this calamity, one’s cultivation will decline, and one’s memory will disappear, becoming no different from an ordinary person…”

“If that’s the case, how can they escape?!”

In Gu Jingqiu’s opinion, falling into the calamity of never getting dark was equivalent to overturning all the past, including cultivation, strength, and even memory. In this way, he was probably worse than an ordinary mortal. How could he possibly escape the calamity?

If this is true, the Holy Fetus of Gods and Demons is a joke.

“This is one of the biggest secrets of this method…” Hua Yixun said in a deep voice.

“When I was a child, I once heard my master mention this… The descendants of the Holy Embryos of Gods and Demons of all generations all have their own methods of coping with disasters…”

“They were ready long before dawn.”

This is the most terrifying thing about [Holy Fetus of Gods and Demons]. It is like telling you in advance that even if you accumulate a fortune, it will be lost overnight. What you have to do is to plan ahead so that you can regain it.

Such a process is a great challenge and test to one’s character, wisdom, endurance, etc.

Practicing this method is just like life, where you lose and regain, gain and lose again, over and over again, and find the eternal spiritual light between birth and death, existence and non-existence.

“The King of the Great Spiritual Sect…his method of dealing with disasters is very special and very domineering.” Hua Yixun looked solemn.

“What method?” Gu Jingqiu asked curiously.

Hua Yixun shook his head and remained silent.

“Master, what is that person… doing in our Laoshan?” Gu Jingqiu rolled his eyes and asked a different question.

“Borrow some incense!”

“Borrow incense? Can you borrow incense?” Gu Jingqiu showed a strange look.

“How can I borrow it?”

“Borrow based on strength.” Hua Yixun said lightly.

“This……”

Gu Jingqiu’s expression was slightly tense, but he could sense the danger in it.

Although he didn’t know how to borrow incense, he wanted to borrow something from Laoshan, one of the ten major Taoist sects in the world. However, he was afraid that without the diamond drill, he might not even be able to enter the mountain gate.

“The most evil thing in the world…it’s really the most evil thing in the world.” Gu Jingqiu couldn’t help but sigh.

“Master, where is that person now?”

Gu Jingqiu was filled with curiosity. It was rare that there was a person in his generation who had mastered one of the nine inner alchemy methods. As a cultivator, he naturally yearned for it.

“Some people say he is dead…” Hua Yixun said lightly.

The last time he heard from the King of Daling Sect was ten years ago.

From then on, the King of the Great Spiritual Sect disappeared from the Taoist world, and even the gang of strong men around him disappeared like waves in a rolling river.

“The Holy Fetus of Gods and Demons…That is the Holy Fetus of Gods and Demons, how did he die?” Gu Jingqiu couldn’t help but change his color.

That kind of existence is like a legend, how can one talk about life and death lightly?

“What’s the big deal? Sixty years ago, even the Three Corpses Taoist, who was known as the best master in the world, died on the top of Mount Dongyue…” Hua Yixun murmured softly.

“Nothing in this world is everlasting, remember this…”

“Mystical power is not as good as destiny!”

“Supernatural powers are not as good as destiny!?” Gu Jingqiu chewed on this sentence and nodded subconsciously.

“Gusu City is just ahead. Find her before entering the station.”

At this moment, Hua Yixun changed the subject and brought Gu Jingqiu back to his senses.

“Master, that monster must be on this bus.”

Gu Jingqiu subconsciously looked around and immediately asked, “Could those people in the next compartment be in the same group as that evildoer?”

“No… one of those young men is a disciple of Mount Mao. When he was a child, he followed several Taoist brothers from Mount Mao to visit Mount Laoshan.”

The person Hua Yixun was thinking of was naturally Jiang Hu. Before getting on the car, he recognized Jiang Hu when he passed by him.

Maoshan is the orthodox Xuanmen and one of the ten famous mountains of Taoism. Since I am its disciple, I will naturally not go along with that monster.

Hearing this, Gu Jingqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“As long as there is no accomplice, the evildoer will not be able to escape even if he has wings.”

“Don’t be careless, it’s a monster.” Hua Yixun lowered his voice, and when he mentioned that word, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

“Snake demon!”

After the founding of the country, it was difficult for spirits and monsters to become monsters. However, what Gu Jingqiu and his apprentice were chasing was a real monster, and it was a snake monster.

“Nanyang Strange Stories” once recorded a story.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a bachelor in Nanshan County who made a living by collecting herbs every day. He was over 30 years old and had not yet married.

One day, it rained heavily in the mountains, and the bachelor hid in a cave, where he met a woman with a stunning appearance.

The bachelor was delighted to see the prey, so he took the girl home and had sex with her every day. A year later, the beauty laid a white egg. The bachelor was shocked and turned around to look for her, but the beauty had disappeared. Only a pool of white skin was left in his house.

Late at night, there was a strong wind. Someone in the village saw a giant white python as thick as a bucket flying in the air and taking away the white egg.

Later, the bachelor lived to be over a hundred years old before he died of old age. When the villagers went to his house, they found the white skin on his bed.

Since ancient times, snakes have been considered spiritual creatures, with the white snake being the most sacred. The ancients believed that the shedding of the white snake’s skin was a form of rebirth and reincarnation, which contained the power of life and death and could lead to rebirth.

Therefore, ancient Taoists created a method to maintain an ageless appearance:

It is a kind of leather pupa made with the shed skin of a white snake. When a person enters it, he will gradually merge with the skin pupa and thus gain the ability to shed skin. This ability can metabolize all the old cell tissues in the body and thus maintain fresh vitality.

The newborn’s skin is as tender as a girl’s, and her hair is thick and black…

However, this method has a disadvantage. After the fusion of the skin pupa, the body’s body functions will change, and the metabolism is almost dozens of times that of a normal human. Such a body will gradually assimilate itself and eventually become a real snake. Even with such disadvantages, to this day, there are still some Taoists who raise white snakes in the mountains and use elixirs to enlighten them.

What Gu Jingqiu and his apprentice were chasing was a white snake raised by a Taoist sect. After the white snake became psychic, it gradually developed magical powers. Not only did it escape from the body, it even took over another body and turned into a demon.

“Did you bring the revealing incense?” Hua Yixun asked.

Demons are the result of possessing other people’s bodies. There is a repulsion between the soul and the body. On moonlit nights or in special environments, they will go crazy and become uncontrollably mutated.

For example, water monsters tend to go crazy and become abnormal during thunderstorms.

In addition, many Taoist methods can also allow them to reveal their original forms through alienation, such as [Revelation Incense].

“Master, this is a high-speed rail…” Gu Jingqiu couldn’t help but say.

As we all know, smoking is prohibited on high-speed trains.

“Idiot…you don’t know how to use smokeless incense?” Hua Yixun glared at him fiercely.

“Master is right.” Gu Jingqiu nodded.

Laoshan’s [Xianxing Incense] also has a smokeless version, which is designed for use in such special environments and places.

“This monster thinks he can be safe by blending into the crowd?” Hua Yixun said coldly.

Once a demon becomes wild and mad, it will be uncontrollable. At that time, its true form will be revealed and it will be difficult to escape the law.

“Master, will that monster be able to suppress his madness and abnormality?” Gu Jingqiu asked worriedly.

Gusu City is not far ahead. If the snake demon uses magic to suppress the changes in its body, it will be even more difficult to find it once it gets off the car.

“No…” Hua Yixun said coldly.

Heaven is selfless. Since it gives demons the opportunity to possess human bodies and transform into humans, it will naturally pose risks.

Madness and alienation are uncontrollable, unless it is an old demon with more than three hundred years of cultivation, maybe it can be suppressed. Otherwise, once it starts, it cannot be reversed.

unless……

“Unless what?”

“There is a very special power in Taoism, called [Demon Taming]…” Hua Yixun just opened his mouth and shook his head.

Taming monsters can not only suppress their madness and alienation, but can also stimulate their potential and turn them into demons.

However, this kind of power has only ever existed in Taoist scriptures and has been rarely seen in ancient times, let alone today.

“Master, what is a demon?”

“It’s nothing, go and get ready, the train will arrive soon.” Hua Yixun reminded.

Gu Jingqiu nodded, took out a plate of incense from her bag, and twisted it lightly with her fingers. A strange fragrance slowly rose and diffused into the carriage.

“Just wait.” Gu Jingqiu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, closed his eyes and rested.

ten minutes later.

Zhang Fan looked at the time and glanced at Zhan Xinyue and Sui Chunsheng.

Of these two people, one was meditating and practicing, while the other was reading a book, a book on ideology and politics.

On the other hand, Jiang Hulu was enjoying the delicious duck neck.

“Look at how conscious they are, and then look at yourself.”

“Nonsense, he is in the system, how can it be the same?” Jiang Hu sucked his fingers and glanced away.

“I want to improve so much!”

“What are you doing?”

At this moment, Zhang Fan stood up from his seat.

“To the restroom.”

As he spoke, Zhang Fan squeezed out from in front of Jiang Hu, came to the end of the carriage, and pulled the handle of the toilet.

“Is there someone!?”

Zhang Fan turned around and planned to go to the toilet in the next car to relieve himself.

Wow…

At this moment, the door opened and a white, slender arm stretched out. It grabbed Zhang Fan’s arm and dragged him in.

The next moment, the toilet door closed again.

“you……”

In the narrow space, Zhang Fan looked at the young girl in front of him with a strange look.

The girl looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a slim figure and fair skin. She wore tight shorts and had a ponytail, and looked quite capable and sassy.

At this moment, she pressed tightly against Zhang Fan, breathing rapidly, her breath spraying on Zhang Fan’s face, with a hint of coldness.

“Are you…are you okay!?”

Zhang Fan looked at the girl and raised his hand to open the door.

At this moment, the girl suddenly grabbed Zhang Fan’s hand, leaned into his arms and hugged him tightly.

“It’s so cold…”

Zhang Fan’s face changed slightly. He felt that the girl’s body temperature was not like that of an ordinary person. It was so cold in the middle of summer, and her temperature seemed to be still dropping.

This feels like a cold-blooded animal.

“I…I feel so uncomfortable…”

The girl almost collapsed in Zhang Fan’s arms. She lowered her head, her delicate body trembling, and strange scaly patterns appeared on her face.

She hugged Zhang Fan tightly, showing her fangs, with an extremely painful expression on her face…

It is the pain of suppressing the desire to eat warm-blooded animals.

“Master, I sense a hint of evil spirit.”

At the same time, inside the carriage, Gu Jingqiu’s eyes suddenly opened, and a gleam of horror flashed in his eyes.

“That monster can no longer hide.” Hua Yixun said lightly.

“what……”

At this moment, in the narrow toilet, the girl bit her lips tightly, and scarlet blood oozed out, but her blood was extremely cold.

At this moment, she seemed no longer able to suppress it, and the scales on her face became more vivid.

“Let me take you out first.”

At this moment, Zhang Fan raised his hand, grabbed the girl’s slender arm, and was about to open the toilet door.

hum…

In an instant, a warm feeling came through Zhang Fan’s palm, the girl’s body trembled, the crazy transformation came to an abrupt end, and the strange scale patterns on her face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Um!?”

At the same time, inside the carriage, Gu Jingqiu’s expression suddenly changed. He looked around, with an incredible luster in his eyes.

“That evil spirit…disappeared!?”
