Chapter 117: Dan Fire Contains Sword Intentions! Crossing the Yangtze River is like strolling in the garden

I have completed three thousand steps of practice, and I have subdued the fire dragon and the real tiger. Who is the immortal? I am the immortal.

In the old days, Lu Zu followed the True Man Huolong, learned the sword technique, and practiced alchemy. On the day of his success, he said this.

In the dark night, a huge explosion startled half the street.

A big hole was blown in the wall of the hotel room, broken glass splattered all over the floor, and the gushing flames drove away the darkness of the night.

Amidst the blazing flames, a figure slowly walked out and stood in front of the hole in the broken wall. His eyes were distracted and empty, staring indifferently at the ground below.

“Zhang Fan…” Sui Chunsheng’s eyelids twitched, shocked by what was happening in front of him.

“The authentic Xuanmen Taoist fire magic!?” An expression of disbelief emerged on Zhan Xinyue’s pretty face.

The practice of Taoism is to refine all the yin impurities in the spirit and achieve the infinite pure yang.

By collecting and refining herbs, one can refine the true yang among the three treasures of [essence, energy and spirit], cultivate the primordial spirit, and pursue the ultimate.

Only the primordial spirit can mobilize the true yang among the three treasures of [essence, energy and spirit]. If it is ignited, it will be the true fire of Taoism.

This mysterious gate is extremely evil and mysterious. It can burn all the evil in the world and also transform all the flesh and blood into a body.

Taoist books say that if the true yang leaves the three treasures, once ignited, the heart fire will flourish, the flourishing heart fire will drive one to madness, and the restlessness of the consciousness will lead to fire.

Human desire is fire, thoughts are fire, restlessness is fire, and the desire is also fire…

Once the true yang is ignited, madness will arise, the fire in the heart will be like a dragon that is difficult to tame, and if one is not careful, one will burn oneself.

Therefore, Taoist fire techniques are extremely difficult to practice.

To practice fire magic, one must subdue the fire dragon, otherwise one will get burned.

Like the [Red Snake Fire Talisman] that Qi Ji and Jiang Hu had used before, it used the art of talismans to give birth to natural fire, but it was not the Taoist true fire that was given birth to by one’s own small world.

“The three treasures suddenly separated, and the madness aroused the fire dragon… There is actually a master!”

Shi Shougong’s expression was solemn, but his grim gaze shifted from the charred corpse at his feet to Zhang Fan in the blazing fire.

In Taoist mythology, the heaven is divided into eight parts, and Taoist mystical arts are also divided into eight methods. Fighting is the most mysterious, thunder is the most cruel, and fire is the most fierce…

Anyone who can cultivate Taoist true fire must be an authentic Taoist.

However, Shi Shougong did not expect that there was such a master hiding here tonight.

call……

Heat waves rolled, scorching winds howled, and Shi Shougong’s expression suddenly changed. A broad palm came like a shadow and covered his face directly.

“So fast!?”

There seemed to be a figure roaring in Shi Shougong’s heart.

boom……

Almost at the same time, a huge force grabbed his face and pushed him flying. In an instant, he was ten meters away.

“Zhang Fan…”

Sui Chunsheng’s pupils suddenly contracted. In that instant, he only saw the flames flickering, and the figure as fast as a ghost disappeared in the flames. When he came to his senses, the Stone Ghoul had already flown away.

hum…

There was a burn on the stone guard palace’s face, and a piece of skin turned black and slowly fell off. His eyes twitched and he endured the severe pain. Before he landed on the ground, he gradually disappeared in mid-air, as if he had merged with the air.

“Be careful, he’s a demon… he can turn invisible.”

At this moment, Sui Chunsheng spoke up to remind him that he had just suffered a great loss from this move.

However, Zhang Fan seemed not to have heard it. He lowered his head and looked at his hands. The true yang in his body surged and surged in his palms like an invisible airflow. As it circulated, it turned into red streams of light, emitting an extremely terrifying temperature, causing the surrounding air to distort.

“Dan Fire…Dan Fire…”

Zhang Fan murmured softly, and just a trace of red light, slightly out of control, burned his right arm, black smoke appeared on the flesh, and scarlet blood evaporated and spread.

“Zhang Fan…” Zhan Xinyue turned pale and cried out.

However, Zhang Fan turned a deaf ear and even seemed unaware of his own burns.

“He is still in a state of meditation… What the hell…” Sui Chunsheng’s face suddenly changed, he couldn’t believe it.

In other words, Zhang Fan’s soul had not yet awakened at this time, and everything was based on instinct.

hum…

At this moment, the flames behind Zhang Fan suddenly floated, as if a gap was torn open. The Stone Gecko seemed to walk out of the air, revealing its figure. Its sharp claws were like a sharp blade, cutting Zhang Fan’s arm.

A touch of dark color spread out like thick ink, directly penetrated into the body, merged into the blood, and spread to the limbs and bones.

“Oh no…” Zhan Xinyue shuddered.

The monster before them had fierce and strange methods. Its magic was like a plague. Once it entered the body, there was no way to recover. They all died because of it.

“You are still too young…” said the Stone Ghoul coldly.

hum…

Suddenly, Zhang Fan’s arm trembled slightly, and the blood in his body seemed to boil, burning the thick black ink in an instant.

In a flash, his arm swung like a spear, turned around, and directly strangled the stone gecko’s neck, lifting it high in the air.

“Ah ah ah…”

At this moment, the stone gecko let out a heart-wrenching howl of pain. There was no sign of fire, but his body felt like it was being burned by a fire. Water was lost madly, and his skin shrank and shriveled, gradually turning yellow and burnt. There was even a pungent smell of burnt meat in the air.

“He…what kind of fire technique is he practicing!?”

This scene made Zhan Xinyue tremble with fear, and an expression of deep disbelief appeared on her pretty face.

Taoist fire magic does not show the blazing real fire, but it has the power to burn the body and refine the spirit.

She had never seen or heard of such magic.

“Zhang Fan… who is he?” Zhan Xinyue was in a trance, and she felt like she had gotten to know Zhang Fan all over again.

When she was at the Jiangnan Provincial Taoist Alliance headquarters, she did not take the two people sent by Ye Buliang seriously. It was because Jiang Hu was born in Maoshan that he had some weight in her eyes. Apart from that, whether in terms of status in the Taoist sect or the mission of this trip, she and Sui Chunsheng revealed a sense of superiority intentionally or unintentionally.

Especially during this trip to Suzhou, she treated Zhang Fan and Jiang Hu as mere extras. It made no difference whether they were there or not. Everything revolved around her and Sui Chunsheng.

However, everything that happened before her eyes overturned Zhan Xinyue’s perception of Zhang Fan.

This man…

Wow…

At this moment, the charred and shriveled skin of the stone gecko suddenly cracked, and a black shadow jumped out from it, and a sticky liquid spilled all over the ground…

“molt!?”

Sui Chunsheng’s eyebrows twitched as he looked at the living stone gecko, which was naked and covered with sticky liquid as if it had just been separated from its mother’s body. His face was pale, he was breathing heavily, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Fan, his mind alert to the extreme.

“Monster… This is a monster… It’s really troublesome…” Sui Chunsheng frowned.

When spirits and monsters take over human bodies, they become demons. After they take over human bodies, their bodies will undergo varying degrees of alienation.

Normally, this alienation is controllable and can even give them special abilities that are even better than Taoist magic.

Apparently, this monster called Stone Gecko has the abilities of invisibility, plague and shedding skin.

These three abilities give him extremely strong survivability, which more or less reveals the origins of his previous life.

“Just like the sun shines through the night, the dawn quietly crosses the horizon…”

“Whose figure is traveling through the reincarnation world…”

At this moment, a pleasant and inspiring song came from afar, echoing in the dark night.

“A new storm has emerged. How can we stand still…”

“I will travel through time and space and try my best to come to you…”

The inspiring singing voice came and went, like a ray of light in the darkness, attracting everyone’s attention.

“It’s time to go.”

Shi Shougong had cold eyes as he looked in the direction of the voice. Then, his gaze darkened as he looked at Zhang Fan, as if he wanted to remember him forever.

“Next time we meet, it won’t be like today.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the stone gecko slowly disappeared, as if it had merged with the surrounding environment.

Sui Chunsheng and Zhan Xinyue remained vigilant and looked around solemnly, but the other party never showed up again.

“He’s gone!?”

“It should be gone.” Sui Chunsheng nodded and subconsciously looked at Zhang Fan. At this time, Zhang Fan gradually calmed down, and the flames around him slowly dissipated. He even sat down cross-legged and clasped his hands at his dantian.

“He’s in meditation again.” Zhan Xinyue couldn’t help but say.

“He never woke up.” Sui Chunsheng shook his head and stood up tremblingly.

The exploded hotel room, the broken glass all over the floor, and the charred corpses… all stood out on this deserted street.

At this time, the impact of the thick fog gradually subsided, and some people had already come out to watch.

“It’s trouble again.”

Sui Chunsheng rubbed his temple, quickly took out his cell phone and made a call.

There will be someone dedicated to handle the aftermath work here.

At this moment, he and Zhan Xinyue hurriedly carried Zhang Fan back to the hotel.

The room where the explosion occurred was in a mess. The fireworks sensor had already been activated, and the spraying water gradually extinguished the flames.

“It’s crazy…”

In the corner, Jiang Hulu crawled out of the ruins, his face covered in black ash, and every cough would produce two ounces of dirt.

Fortunately, he had a talisman to protect him, so he was not cremated on the spot.

“earthen jar……”

At this moment, Jiang Hu slapped his forehead suddenly, turned his head and saw that the old jar had already been broken into pieces on the ground.

“This this……”

“take it easy.”

At this moment, Sui Chunsheng raised his hand and gestured to comfort her.

“There was nothing in this jar to begin with.”

“Ah!? What’s going on?” Jiang Hu couldn’t help but ask.

“The real thing is escorted by the masters of the Taoist Alliance and will arrive at Xuanmiao Temple tomorrow.” Sui Chunsheng went to Dandan Island.

“The one we escorted was fake.”

“Um!?”

At this moment, even Zhan Xinyue couldn’t help but reveal a strange look, because she didn’t know about this matter.

“How could such an important thing be escorted by a few juniors like us?”

Sui Chunsheng sat down weakly and let out a long breath.

“It’s just to attract the attention of Wuwei Sect… Of course, it can also pick out the hidden clues hidden in Xuanmiao Temple.”

“Hidden clue!?”

“The Wuwei Sect has extended its reach too far. As far as I know, they have people inside the Xuanmiao Temple…” Sui Chunsheng said in a deep voice.

“That’s why you are not in a hurry to go to Xuanmiao Temple to report, but stay here for one night.” Jiang Hulu said suddenly.

“Not many people know that we escorted the Dharma Jar to Gusu, so it’s easy to lead that secret agent out.”

Sui Chunsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a heavy look.

“I just didn’t expect that the power of Wuwei Sect has become so huge. Not only has it infiltrated the Taoist sect, but it has also recruited various demons and ghosts.”

Thinking of the stone gecko’s trick just now, Sui Chunsheng felt a little scared. If it weren’t for Zhang Fan, they would probably all be dead here today.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, who is he?”

Thinking of this, Sui Chunsheng couldn’t help but ask, and even his address became polite when he opened his mouth.

“He is a disciple of Zhenwu Mountain.” Jiang Hulu said lightly.

“I know this… Xia Weisheng mentioned it… but with such a high level of Taoism, why haven’t I heard of it?”

Sui Chunsheng looked puzzled.

“Who is his master?”

“Master Chaoran.” Jiang Hulu remembered Bai Bu Ran’s instructions and uttered a name.

“Master Chao Ran!? He is Master Chao Ran’s disciple?”

Sui Chunsheng stood up suddenly and looked at Zhang Fan, who was still in meditation, with an expression of disbelief.

“Isn’t Xia Weisheng the last disciple of Chaofan Zhenren? How come he is here again…” Zhan Xinyue looked surprised and doubtful.

“I don’t know about that…”

“I heard that when he was traveling, Chaofan Zhenren took a liking to him and insisted on taking him as his disciple.

“what!?”

After these words were spoken, Sui Chunsheng and Zhan Xinyue looked at each other in surprise, thinking that they were hallucinating.

The extraordinary immortal is a living fossil in Taoism. He is a living immortal of the time who has entered the realm of pure yang and infinity. He has been able to eliminate demons in Jiazi and even killed the world’s number one master, the Three Corpses Taoist.

With such an identity and such a legend… let alone becoming his disciple, even meeting him once would make one’s ancestors feel extremely proud.

Sightseeing? He must be accepted as his disciple! ?
This is human talk! ?
“No wonder I felt that Brother Zhang was extraordinary when I first saw him… He turned out to be a disciple of Master Chaoran…”

Sui Chunsheng looked at Zhang Fan with awe, and there seemed to be light in his eyes.

“What should we do now?” Jiang Hu couldn’t help but ask.

“Change the room and wait for the local authorities to handle it.” Sui Chunsheng was very familiar with the procedures for handling such emergencies. He immediately opened two more rooms and specially let Zhang Fan stay in one alone.

In the inner scene of the soul, the river waves are surging.

That vertical stroke slowly dissipated like a sword returning to its sheath.

“The sword intent is hidden in the Dan fire… It looks very much like the Lü Zu stele that I saw in the Chunyang Palace that day… Not bad, not bad…”

Zhang Fan came back to his senses and realized that he had benefited a lot from the flying move just now.

Above the great river, the bright moon is shining, and that lonely and mysterious figure seems to be going back and dissolving into the misty water vapor.

“Are you a thousand-year-old monster?” Zhang Fan asked.

hum…

Before he finished speaking, the lonely figure walked towards the depths of the river. The tides rose and fell, it was quiet and lonely, and only the bright moon was eternal.

“call……”

In the early morning, the sunlight shone through the window onto Zhang Fan’s face. He opened his eyes and saw that the sun was already high in the sky. He picked up his cell phone and saw that it was already nine thirty-seven in the morning.

“Is it so late?”

Zhang Fan sat up and looked around.

“Not the room from yesterday!?”

Zhang Fan frowned, looking puzzled, and casually opened his cell phone.

“You finally woke up.”

Just at this moment, Zhang Fan walked in.

“Why am I sleeping here?” Zhang Fan couldn’t help but ask.

“You don’t remember anything at all?”

“I have some impression…it seems like I had a fight with someone…” Zhang Fan rubbed his head and felt a burning pain in his right arm.

“yesterday, you……”

Jiang Hu had just opened his mouth when he noticed that Zhang Fan’s expression looked a little strange.

“What’s wrong with you!!?”

Jiang Hu asked and walked over, then saw a piece of news pop up on Zhang Fan’s phone.

[Shocked! An unknown creature appeared in the Yangtze River last night, walking on the waves]

When I opened the news, a video with quite blurry quality popped up.

The endless Yangtze River has rolling waves. A three-part bright moon shines on the river. A mysterious and lonely figure stands on the waves. Among the rolling clouds, the figure walks slowly. Crossing the Yangtze River is like a leisurely stroll in the garden.
