at the same time.

In the capital of Dakang, inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After burning incense and bathing, Emperor Dakang is urinating in his Taoist robe.

A man in a black robe and a mask walked out from the corner of the shadows.

"Your Majesty, Wei Si came to report that Chen Wu and the others are dead."

"Dead? How did you die?"

Emperor Dakang shivered a few times, pulled up his trousers, and went to the gilded dragon basin beside him to wash his hands.

"I don't know. I only know that he died in the Shiwan Mountains. The four nails were also found by a thief, who was suspected of wanting to do something to your majesty. There was also a man named Huang Er beside the thief, who might be his subordinate."

"Any more?"

"No, the thief seemed to have failed, so he said it was not fun, and then Wei Si could not hear any sound from him anymore."

"It should be that he realized that he had made a mistake."

Emperor Da Kang laughed and said, "It's just that this thief is so bold, but his excuse is so lame that those who don't know him would think he is just an ignorant child."

"Go check if there is anyone named Huang Er in those noble families."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After saying this, the man wanted to leave.

But Emperor Dakang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't investigate. There are only a few people who have the courage and ability to do this, no more than the Song family, the Li family, the Meng family, the Han family, the Du family, and the Liu family."

"Since they dare to do it, they are not afraid of my investigation. Besides, there is no point in investigating it."

"But Chen Wu and the others are my confidants. If they don't give me an explanation, I can't tell anyone."

As he spoke, Emperor Dakang walked to the Bagua Tai Chi diagram, holding a calf inlaid with gold and jade in one hand and a chime in the other. He walked on the Bagua diagram and struck the chime.

There was a sound.

The sound of the chimes is clear and crisp, lingering in the air.

Wait until the sound of the chimes disappears.

Emperor Dakang stopped, sat cross-legged on the floor, and took out a dice.

The dice has six sides.

The surnames of six aristocratic families are written on it.

Emperor Dakang rolled the dice, and when it landed, the word on it was Du Family.

But obviously, this was not what Emperor Dakang wanted.

So he threw the dice again.

This time, the word "Song" was written on one side of the dice.

"Yes, the Song family."

Emperor Dakang said with satisfaction: "Song Tiangang guarded Xuzhou for me, but he was restless and embezzled this year's taxes. Although the old man of the Song family came here in person to apologize and offered ten times the taxes, this is not how business is calculated."

"The City God of Xuzhou City is Song Yuzhang, right?"

"Exactly."

"Becoming a god instantly is not the right way after all. Let him practice the ancient way."

After the changes in heaven and earth, once the cultivators practiced the ancient method, some strange things would grow on them and then turn into evil.

This is something that cannot be reversed.

Gods are the beings that cultivators transform into after they become gods on the spot.

The clay sculpture and the wood carving, the Nascent Soul merged into one, while the physical body disappeared.

You can still practice ancient methods even after you lose your physical body.

And it will become more brutal.

"Your Majesty, would you like to bring a nail with you?"

"Bring one as a backup."

Emperor Dakang waved his hand and asked the guards to leave.

After practicing the ancient method, the monk will turn into an evil being, and then be nailed by the nail to stay awake and be controlled by it.

But whether the gods can do the same after they transform into evil beings has never been tried.

Therefore, Emperor Dakang did not hold much hope for this.

"It's the 28th year of the Qingli calendar..."

Emperor Dakang said with a smile: "There are many people in this world who are as smart as me. After such a long time, those people should be able to make a rough guess. However, they only look at the present moment, while I look at the future and the whole world."

"What I think is not what they can think."

"What I want to do is not something they can or dare to do."

And just then.

A faint growl of pain suddenly sounded.

Emperor Dakang smiled and said, "Don't worry. Those noble families and the bald donkeys in the Western Buddhist Kingdom have already started to move. They will deliver the black sun to me when the time comes."

"Those geniuses and mediocre people all thought that I was devoted to studying your secret of becoming an immortal."

"But even if you have it, I have no interest in becoming an immortal."

"All things carry the Yin and embrace the Yang, and the rushing Qi makes them harmonious. Water benefits all things and gives birth to them. Qi floats on water. I want to grasp the water in one hand and the Qi in the other, follow the trend of heaven and earth, and return to myself following the Yin and Yang."

"A little bit of power is just an illusion."

……

Inside Jingxian Temple.

Chen Huangpi threw four nails into the Soul-Catching Book.

Mangshan Jun, who was previously so stupid that he couldn't even recognize himself, suddenly regained consciousness.

Then, he said in horror: "Chen Huangpi, what did you do to me?"

It only felt that after Chen Huangpi cut off its two heads and brutally nailed the four nails into its forehead, its consciousness fell into stagnation.

No more thoughts.

Chen Huangpi scratched his head and said, "I wanted to try whether the four nails could make you regain your original consciousness like the other evil spirits, but I didn't expect it to fail."

Mangshan Jun sneered and said, "Why should I regain my original consciousness? I am an evil being, and I am meant to eat people. If I hadn't dared to leave these Hundred Thousand Mountains, I would have eaten all the mortals in Xuzhou City long ago."

Chen Huangpi shook his head and said, "You used to be an Arhat, don't you have any kindness at all?"

“What is kindness?”

Mangshan Jun said disdainfully: "I also ate people when I was an Arhat."

"Then why do you want to transform into an evil being?"

Chen Huangpi was very curious.

This Lord Mangshan could eat people openly even if he did not transform into an evil creature. But after he transformed into an evil creature, he would be feared by people and hated by gods.

"You want to know?"

Mangshan Jun sneered and said, "Okay, put your head closer and I'll tell you."

"Okay." Chen Huangpi leaned his head over.

A fierce light flashed in Mangshan Jun's eyes, and the four ferocious heads suddenly opened their mouths, but they did not fall down yet.

The collar around its neck suddenly emitted a faint light.

"what!!!!"

Mangshanjun screamed in agony, it was as if the collar was on his soul and his true self. He just wanted to bite Chen Huangpi to death, but the collar suddenly exploded, trying to crush his soul and his true self.

"You can't hurt me."

Chen Huangpi held up a mattock and threatened: "Your life and death are under my control. If I want you to die, you must die. If I don't want you to die, you can't die either."

"If I tell the truth, will you let me go?"

"Will not."

Chen Huangpi said as a matter of course: "If you want to say it, then say it. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. What does it have to do with me?"

"Okay, I'll tell you then."

Mangshan Jun smiled bitterly and said, "In the spring of the fourth year of the Qingli period, monks from the Western Regions came to the capital of Dakang to meet the emperor, but according to their rules, I, as an Arhat accompanying them to protect the law, could not enter the palace."

"I was placed in an inn outside the palace. I didn't do anything, but I became evil for no apparent reason."

"Are there no other gods in the post station?"

"Yes, but I am the only one who has become evil."

"After I became an evil being, many monks in black clothes and masks came after me. If I hadn't been able to hide in the void and escape quickly, I would have died in that post station long ago."

Mangshan Jun stopped talking abruptly at this point.

Because that's all it remembers.

Chen Huangpi said thoughtfully: "Those people are not monks, but evil spirits. It seems that there are many such evil spirits in the capital of Dakang, and even the gods can't see them."

"Evil?"

Mangshan Jun said in disbelief: "Impossible, those people are cultivators, how could they be evil!"

"What a stupid dog."

The brass oil lamp said with disdain: "A cultivator's cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage has already stopped. He is not even as good as an ordinary evil spirit. How can he chase you?"

"If they are evil, why are they chasing me?"

Mangshanjun couldn't figure it out, but after thinking about it, he found it ridiculous.

Even if I figured it out, what can I do?

Chen Huangpi still won't give himself a way out.

If I had known this would happen, I should not have fled when I was in the capital of Dakang. I should have been killed by those traitors.

Chen Huangpi ignored Mang Shanjun's thoughts.

He just listened to it as a story.

Now that the story is over, this Lord Mangshan is naturally useless.

So, he moved his mind and controlled Mangshan Jun to grow the six heads that had been removed, and then threw them directly into the Soul-Catching Book.

In the evening he also had to go to the old temple to see his second master.

Second Master must be starving in there.

When the time comes, I will prescribe him some monkey brains to nourish him.

And just then.

A sad sound of a dog barking was heard.

Immediately afterwards, the old Taoist in purple robe came running over excitedly, dragging Jinjiao.

The old Taoist in purple robe was holding a hemp rope in his hand, while Jinjiao was lying on the ground with a look of despair, his stomach was bloated, as if he had eaten too much. Even though he was being dragged, he didn't want to move at all.

"Huangpi'er, the master is back!"

"Master!"

Chen Huangpi came forward and asked curiously, "What happened to Jinjiao? Did you secretly bring it food?"

The purple-robed Taoist priest said proudly, "I ate it, and I ate a lot. I need to eat more so that I can grow bigger, fatter, and more fierce."

"What did you eat?"

"I won't tell you. They are all good things anyway. It's just that it's too lazy. I took it around the Hundred Thousand Mountains and it just refused to move after running back and forth once."

"Fortunately, the master is not lazy and dragged it back and forth a dozen times."

Hearing this, Chen Huangpi was stunned.

How big are the Shiwanda Mountains?
It was so big that even if a brass oil lamp activated its divine light, it would take an unknown amount of time to run back and forth.

Jinjiao was dragged back and forth by his master for more than ten times but he didn't die.

It seems that the master really fed it a lot of good things.

Chen Huangpi couldn't help but said, "Master, why don't you give me something good to eat?"

"You can't eat evil."

The purple-robed Taoist shook his head like a rattle and said, "The evil taste is terrible. If you get mixed taste after eating it, the meat will not be fragrant anymore."

"what?"

Chen Huangpi said in shock: "Master, what did you feed Jinjiao was evil? How much did it eat?"

"Master, I don't remember. Anyway, if you don't die from eating, then eat until you die."

The purple-robed Taoist said with a smile, "But it ate too much and it's a little indigestible. I'm going to take it to the alchemy furnace to digest it. You don't have to make lunch for me. I'll eat something else."

As he spoke, the purple-robed Taoist dragged the desperate Jin Jiao towards the alchemy room.

……

Time passes quickly in the mountains.

As the sun sets, the moon rises.

Jingxian Temple also became Zhenxian Temple.

The Taoist temple, which was originally not very big, became extremely huge with the arrival of night.

However, those areas were always shrouded in darkness, making them hazy and difficult to see clearly.

That’s where the old view is.

Chen Huangpi walked to the original gate leading to the old temple and was about to go in with a brass oil lamp.

But the latter suddenly said: "Chen Huangpi, don't go this way, try another way in."

"Why change? This place is closer."

"Because Master Sanguan said that his robes are on another road."

　Today is really not good.

I'm a bit stuck in writer's block and feel dizzy while writing.

Sorry everyone, I will update early tomorrow.
