Chapter 192: Inside the Demon Subduing Hall

As Zhang Xuanqing pushed open the door of the Demon Subduing Hall, the seal drawn by successive heavenly masters on the door was torn open.

The two huge bronze doors of the Demon-Suppressing Hall opened with a teeth-grinding creaking sound.

These creaking sounds are the friction sounds caused by the rust of the door. After all, this door of the Demon-Suppressing Hall has not been opened for a long time.

Since the construction of the Demon-Subduing Hall in Longhu Mountain, this door has basically never been opened again.

After all, you don’t need to enter through the main gate to drive the demon out. You just need to seal the demon inside the talisman and then shoot the talisman in.

Most Taoist priests simply cannot bear the harm of entering the Demon-Suppressing Hall in person, after all, the yin energy inside is too heavy.

The last time Zhang Xuanqing came to the Demon Subduing Hall was because of the Korean Girl Group. At that time, he took a talisman to suppress the Ghost King from the Demon Subduing Hall, but he did not go in that time. Instead, he took out the talisman from a distance and left.

But this time is different. This time he wants to cultivate the body of the Heavenly Demon Zombie Ancestor, so he must go in and absorb the Yin Energy.

As the door of the Demon-Subduing Hall opened, Zhang Xuanqing stepped in.

The interior of the Demon-Suppressing Hall is dark all year round, and no sunlight has entered for nearly a thousand years. Because of thousands of years of darkness, even if the gates are wide open at this moment, the sun outside can still not shine in through the extreme darkness.

Inside the Demon-Slaying Hall, the iron law of nature that light drives away darkness seems to have failed. Here, the sunlight shines into the interior through the open gate, but fails to dispel the darkness at all. Instead, the sunlight is swallowed up by the darkness.

Most people, even those who are brave enough, would feel terrified when looking at the scene before their eyes. Even if someone is brave enough to watch a horror movie in a cinema, feeling the eerie atmosphere coming from inside this place, he would turn around and leave without hesitation.

Because of the aura and oppressive atmosphere within the Demon-Suppressing Hall, the terrifying darkness is simply not something that ordinary people can endure.

This has already challenged the physiological limits of human beings. The truly top-level demon land is not a place where one can enter just by being brave. The truly terrifying demon land brings people both physical and mental pressure.

In the Demon-Suppressing Hall, an extremely terrifying evil wind blew out. When this evil wind blew on Zhang Xuanqing’s body, it was directly dispelled by the golden light on his body.

These evil auras are the condensed evil auras of thousands of demons and ghosts in the Demon-Suppressing Hall. They appear to be just a gust of wind, but they have terrifying killing power, just like the tongue of a blind bear, which appears soft and tender, but is actually covered with barbs. If a blind bear licks you, it can lick off half of your face.

If this gust of cold wind was not hanging on the body of the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master at this moment, but on the body of an ordinary person, it would probably remove the flesh and blood from the ordinary person’s body in an instant, and instantly scrape him into a pile of bones.

The Demon-Suppressing Hall is so terrifying, filled with murderous intent and deadly situations. It is not a place that ordinary people can enter at all.

Zhang Xuanqing stepped in. He had some skills, so he was not panicked at all.

After he entered the Demon-Suppressing Hall, he soon saw terrifying and hideous figures of demons and monsters rushing out from the darkness.

These Dharma images have various faces, some are terrifying and ferocious, some are indescribable by Cthulhu, and some are the transformation of beasts. One can still vaguely recognize what kind of beasts they were before they transformed, but their faces are still ferocious.

Then, Zhang Xuanqing heard bursts of devilish laughter.

“Huh? I didn’t expect that after thousands of years, the door to the Demon Subduing Palace would be opened by someone.”

“The sun, hahahahaha, I haven’t seen what the sun looks like outside for more than 2000 years. I almost forgot what it feels like when the sun shines on me. I didn’t expect that someone would dare to come here?”

“Who are you, kid? How dare you open the seal of the Demon Subduing Hall and walk in? Are you tired of living?”

“No matter who you are, now that you are here, you should give me a treat to satisfy my stomach. I haven’t eaten meat for more than a thousand years.”

“Humph, with your little Taoist skills, you dare to snatch blood food from me? This kid has delicate skin and tender flesh, his blood and flesh must be very tender, let me eat first!”

“Everyone get out of here!”

The devil’s hideous laughter continued to ring in my ears, and every sound was enough to make my teeth ache. Those who were timid would probably be frightened to death just by hearing these conversations.

These demons are fighting for it, because they have all been imprisoned here for at least 1000 years.

Before being captured, these demons were all wreaking havoc on the world and were extremely vicious. They were ruthless eaters outside and were used to eating humans. Now, they haven’t eaten good food for more than 1000 years. Naturally, they become very greedy when they smell the breath of a living person for the first time.

They rushed up and devoured Zhang Xuanqing.

Some head lovers vied to get Zhang Xuanqing’s head to try it out. These demons talked about it a lot and became complacent for a while.

At this moment, a huge demonic voice came from the depths of the Demon-Suppressing Hall, and then Zhang Xuanqing saw a huge demon rushing out.

This is a gigantic nine-headed ghost baby, its size is even larger than the width of the Demon-Suppressing Hall’s gate.

At this moment, nine bloody mouths opened towards Zhang Xuanqing, and the corners of their mouths almost reached the back of his head.

The nine-headed ghost baby stretched out a huge blood-red palm, grabbed Zhang Xuanqing in front of him with one hand, and lifted him up high.

As soon as this nine-headed ghost baby appeared, countless demons who had just been snatching blood food here with a hideous grin, immediately acted as if they had seen a ghost, and they all tactfully moved aside, because they knew the strength of this nine-headed ghost baby.

It is a dominant existence here, with extremely strong power, stronger than all of them. If they provoke this big monster and make it unhappy, it will probably eat them like an appetizer in an instant.

So when this nine-headed ghost baby appeared, the monsters and demons around it instantly became like obedient younger brothers, not daring to move, and no one wanted to snatch food from the king’s mouth.

The nine-headed ghost baby was looking at Zhang Xuanqing in his hand at this moment. This human had a unique skeleton, and one could tell at a glance that he had delicate skin and tender flesh. He looked very delicious.

The nine-headed ghost baby was also extremely excited at this moment, because he, like other demons here, was suppressed by the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master and had been suppressed in the Demon Subduing Hall for thousands of years.

Moreover, he was suppressed here for the longest time, because he was captured by the Dragon and Tiger Mountain’s ancestor Heavenly Master who had already attained enlightenment and become an immortal.

In other words, he is the one with the longest seniority here. He has not seen a real living person or eaten a living person for a longer time than the other monsters, so at this moment he is more greedy than any other monster.

His nine heads were covered with glittering saliva. The nine-headed ghost infant cursed: “What a pity, what a pity, why is there only one person coming here? If there were more, we could have a good meal. But how can I eat all nine heads of this one?”

The nine-headed ghost baby felt extremely regretful. He was thinking about how to eat Zhang Xuanqing.

The human head is the most fragrant, and it has an excellent taste with juice bursting out in one mouthful. If conditions allowed in the past, people would use it as a side dish for drinking.

Unfortunately, there is no wine in this Demon Subduing Hall, so we can only make do with it. The stomach of a living person is the fattest, and the internal organs are soft and delicate. The taste is second, so I will taste it second.

Then comes the limbs, which are eaten as melon seeds.

The nine-headed ghost baby looked at Zhang Xuanqing in his hand and said, “Brother, don’t blame me, you broke in by yourself!

I have been suppressed here for a thousand years, and today I finally get to eat someone! Thank you for the gift from nature!”

Although the nine-headed ghost baby is cruel, he is indeed a demon who knows how to repay kindness.

At this moment, before enjoying the delicious food, he even thanked nature for the gift. He felt that although he didn’t know why this guy came here, there must be a reason for him to come here.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t eaten blood for many years, so God took pity on me and let someone in.

I never thought that after being suppressed for so many years, I could still eat a meal of fresh flesh and blood. It feels so good!

The nine-headed ghost baby had just finished speaking and was about to eat Zhang Xuanqing alive bite by bite.

Zhang Xuanqing spoke.

His body was held in the hands of the nine-headed ghost baby, but he did not show the slightest sign of nervousness. Instead, he looked indifferent, as if he was used to this kind of scene.

Zhang Xuanqing was naturally indifferent. After all, he was the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master, and he had been personally trained and brought up by the old Heavenly Master since he was a child.

At a very young age, he followed the Taoist priest down the mountain to seek for the female ghost. Even when he was three or four years old, he had already slept in a mass grave with the old Taoist priest, waiting for the female ghost.

After so many years, he has seen all kinds of scenes and all kinds of vicious monsters.

Zhang Xuanqing was already able to stand on his own, so what was this nine-headed ghost baby?
Although he was caught by him at this moment, Zhang Xuanqing did it on purpose. His purpose was to test how the demons that had been imprisoned in the Demon Subduing Hall for thousands of years had been transformed now.

After all, the original idea of ​​the ancestors of Longhu Mountain to build this Demon-Suppressing Temple was that they felt that heaven and earth were merciful and that since these demons existed, there must be a reason for their existence.

Moreover, it is not easy for them to finally achieve some level of cultivation after so many years. Ghosts and monsters all have the right to live.

So even if they have committed many evil deeds, these heavenly masters will give them one last way out after subduing them, which is to imprison them in the Demon-Suppressing Palace.

This place is basically equivalent to a reformatory prison for ordinary people in modern times.

The original intention of the ancestors of Mount Longhu was to lock up these demons inside the Demon Subduing Hall and use time to influence them, hoping that they would one day attain enlightenment inside Mount Longhu and eventually achieve enlightenment and turn over a new leaf.

After all, the Demon Subduing Hall was indeed built on Mount Longhu. The Taoist priests on Mount Longhu chant scriptures every day to influence people. Moreover, Mount Longhu gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the energy of righteousness here. Over time, there is a chance that these demons will be influenced.

The ancestors of the Heavenly Masters did think so, but ever since Zhang Xuanqing became possessed, he has always felt that the Demon Subduing Palace was extremely useless.

His ideas are different from those of previous heavenly masters, and his concepts have long been different.

He used to be indecisive and always wanted to do things to perfection.

So many times, I would be tripped up by the rules and regulations that I set for myself, just like when I was dealing with the Zombie King and the female anchor who suddenly jumped out.

Zhang Xuanqing just wanted to save the other person at that time, so he accidentally hurt the female anchor. In the end, all the online public opinion and netizens’ abuse were focused on him alone.

If he had been more extreme at that time and realized that the situation was beyond help and had been more decisive, the situation would have been better whether he saved the person or not.

If he wants to save her, he might as well let the zombie king go. The female anchor will have to bear the consequences. Even if the female anchor dies at the hands of the zombie king in the end, it is none of his business and the blame cannot be put on him, after all, the female anchor escaped on her own.

At that time, Zhang Xuanqing was only considering her safety, so he did not take action and let the zombie go.

But if he chose not to rescue her, and let the Zombie King bite the female anchor to death, then in the end the public opinion and the blame would not be put on him, because after all, the female anchor did come by herself, and she was indeed caught by the Zombie King herself.

The key problem is that Zhang Xuanqing was indecisive. He wanted to save the zombies and kill them at the same time. He wanted to have his cake and eat it too. As a result, although he killed the zombies, he also seriously injured the female anchor. This caused all the pressure to be concentrated on him at once.

If he had not killed the zombie king at that time, those netizens would not have dared to be so presumptuous, because they also knew they were afraid.

They dared to cyberbully Zhang Xuanqing because they knew that Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master would not attack them, so they were not afraid of Zhang Xuanqing. In addition, the Zombie King was already dead, and there was no force that could threaten them.

As long as the Zombie King was not killed by Zhang Xuanqing, they would restrain themselves because they knew that only the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master could deal with the Zombie King.

If the Dragon and Tiger Master is scolded into becoming autistic, everyone will be in trouble.

To put it bluntly, it was because he was not decisive enough. Now that Zhang Xuanqing has gone crazy, he is decisive enough.

Therefore, he now feels that there is no need for the Demon-Suppressing Hall to exist. Demons are demons, and rotten oranges are rotten oranges. There is no chance for them to change for the better. Even if they are imprisoned for a longer time, it will only increase their resentment and hatred.

Moreover, there is a risk of leakage of the Demon-Suppressing Hall.

As the inheritance of Mount Longhu gets longer and longer, more and more demons are suppressed in the Demon-Suppressing Hall.

These demons have been immortal for a long time and are unchangeable. As more and more demons accumulate inside, the Demon-Suppressing Palace will collapse sooner or later.

If the day comes that the Demon-Subduing Palace collapses, it will be like a time bomb exploding in Longhu Mountain, and all the demons will come out.

Imagine if all the demons imprisoned in Longhu Mountain for thousands of years were released at once, what kind of disaster would that be? It would definitely be a disaster that would destroy the heavens and the earth, and even affect the entire Blue Planet.

Therefore, Zhang Xuanqing felt that the Demon-Suppressing Hall should have been destroyed long ago, and all the demons inside should have been killed one by one, so that there would be no subsequent troubles.

Now it seems that it is indeed the case.

After entering, I deliberately concealed my aura, but these demons still refused to change and wanted to eat me.

Zhang Xuanqing: Then don’t blame me.
