Chapter 164 There is a right way to die
In the past few days, Chen Shi lived and worked as Li Tianqing, while Li Tianqing lived as him. They both changed their clothes, shoes and accessories. Their purpose was to let Master Kuzhu attack Chen Shi again.
The transformation talisman used by the two is also a relatively common talisman. Talismans and Taoist magic have the same origin. This talisman is somewhat similar to the animal creation technique.
This talisman requires the clothes and hair of the transformed object to be burned into ashes, then mixed with cinnabar and black dog blood, and ground into ink.
When drawing the talisman, one must first draw the facial features of the object of transformation on the left, the talisman structure on the right, the Taiyi Edict on the top, the Yuanchen Palace in the middle, the Nine Netherworlds on both sides, and the birth date and name at the bottom.
When offering the talisman, one silently recites the Taiyi Samsara Mantra, borrows the power of reincarnation, and imagines the appearance of the person to be transformed into. When the power of the talisman takes effect, one can then transform into the other person's appearance.
After changing into the other person's appearance, if you don't know how to get rid of it, you will not be able to change back to your original appearance.
The solution is actually quite simple. Just pour boy's urine on your body to untie it.
But Zen Master Kuzhu was too strong. The moment he entered Chen Shi's sea of consciousness, he broke the power of the talisman and restored Chen Shi to his original appearance.
Li Tianqing had just put the sealing talisman on Chen Shi’s forehead when he saw Chen Shi’s forehead swell up rapidly, as if there was a person in his head, trying to escape by pushing against the skin between his eyebrows!
The man's face grew bigger and bigger, gradually becoming as big as Chen Shi's head, and his facial features became clearer and clearer, exactly the appearance of Zen Master Kuzhu!
Both Lady Hongshan and the majestic rabbit were startled. Lady Hongshan jumped off the rabbit's head and ran over quickly, shouting, "Are there any more sealing talismans?"
Li Tianqing was at a loss: "In the past few days, the dog has fainted several times due to blood drawing, and I have only drawn this much!"
The sealing talisman that Chen Shi drew this time was made with Hei Guo's blood. Hei Guo's bloodline power was getting stronger and stronger, so every sealing talisman he drew contained great sealing power.
However, Zen Master Kuzhu was in the Mahayana realm after all, and even if a thick stack of sealing talismans were prepared, he could not be sealed!
"Clap clap clap!"
One after another, the sealing talismans exploded at a rapid speed, and the explosion sounds were connected like a string of firecrackers. Seeing that all the sealing talismans were about to be destroyed, Master Kuzhu was about to burst Chen Shi's head when suddenly his legs seemed to be grabbed by something.
Under the skin between Chen Shi's eyebrows, the mark of a bony hand emerged, grabbing from behind Kuzhu's head, from back to front, and holding his head.
Under the skin of Chen Shi’s forehead, the knuckles of this hand can be clearly seen!
The Goddess of Hongshan, Li Tianqing, the majestic rabbit, as well as the other incense masters, coaches and talisman masters of Hongshan Hall, all saw this scene.
Everyone was stunned for a moment and dared not come forward.
That hand doesn't look like a human hand!
The hand grabbed Kuzhu's head from behind and pulled hard. The bulging skin and flesh on Chen Shi's forehead shrank rapidly and returned to normal.
Chen Shi asked hurriedly, "Is Zen Master Kuzhu trapped? Is he trapped?"
Everyone stared at him blankly, as if they were looking at an incomprehensible evil spirit.
Chen Shi was puzzled. He looked for a mirror and looked at his face. He was still as handsome as before, with no difference.
Li Tianqing coughed quickly and said, "Xiao Shi, it's okay. Master Kuzhu has been trapped. Maybe..."
He hesitated and said, "Maybe he won't survive."
Everyone laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay! Disperse, disperse!"
Xiao Xiangzhu got up and said, "Don't gather here anymore, just do what you need to do!"
"There is indeed something strange inside the body of the scholar coach!" Everyone looked at each other, said nothing, and dispersed.
The majestic rabbit transformed by Yu Tiancheng also felt that although he was very evil, he was not as evil as Chen Shi.
"Did a being in the Mahayana realm die just like that?"
Everyone found it a little unbelievable, especially the Master of Yutang in Yutian City, who was shocked beyond words!
He had an extremely high talent for cultivation, and he practiced diligently. In addition, he practiced the skills of Goddess Hongshan, and risked being transformed by evil. Only then did he cultivate to the third level of the Spirit Transformation Stage, the Spirit Transformation Stage.
If he takes one more step forward, he will reach the fourth realm of the Spirit Transformation Stage, the Divine Descent Stage.
After reaching the Great Perfection of the Divine Descent Realm, one can then enter the Spirit Refining Stage.
There are also four realms in the Spirit Refining Stage: Refining Void, Fusion, Three Corpses, and Refining Spirit.
After the Spirit Refining Stage is the Return to Void Stage, which has four realms: Return to Void, Mahayana, Tribulation Crossing, and Ascension.
The Mahayana realm is ranked second in the Return to Void period.
The realm between him and Kuzhu is separated by the six realms of divine descent, refining emptiness, fusion, three corpses, refining spirits, and returning to emptiness!
Each realm is an insurmountable chasm. People on the other side of the chasm cannot guess the mysteries of the next realm at all!
And between them, there are six natural chasms!
Yu Tiancheng cultivated to the Spirit Transformation Realm on his own without relying on the cultivation of the aristocratic families. He had outstanding talent, but he dared not even think about cultivating to the Mahayana Realm!
Without the background of a powerful family and the ancient heritage of the Da Baoguo Temple, even if one possesses extraordinary talent, it is impossible to cultivate to the Mahayana realm!
However, now such a great master of the Mahayana realm, a legendary existence, died so easily in Chen Shi’s sea of consciousness!
They won't believe this if I tell them!
Even if Yu Tiancheng saw it with his own eyes, he would not believe it!
"If Kuzhu really died in the scholar's sea of consciousness, then what is hidden in the scholar's sea of consciousness?" he said silently in his heart.
In the distance, Granny Sha couldn't hide her shock on her face, and murmured, "An existence like Kuzhu entered Xiao Shi's sea of consciousness and couldn't even come out... Is Old Chen really guarding the passage to the underworld? I'm afraid a Yama King has entered Xiao Shi's body, right?"
Other people did not know much about Master Kuzhu and thought he was just an old monk, but Granny Sha grew up listening to the legends of Master Kuzhu and other older generations.
It is conceivable how much of a shock it must have been to Kuzhu that she was ambushed by Chen Shi and died in Chen Shi's sea of consciousness!
Beside her were the bearded man and Qingyang, who also looked shocked.
Zen Master Kuzhu, a legend in the Mahayana realm, was ambushed by a young boy and died here!
Even if they saw it with their own eyes, they couldn't believe it!
The goat beard on Qingyang's chin trembled, and he murmured, "Fortunately, you persuaded me to stop, otherwise I would have entered his sea of consciousness. Now I'm afraid that even my goat horns have been taken away by others to play with..."
When Black Mountain Grandma appeared in his dream and was "eaten" by Chen Shi, he also wanted to enter Chen Shi's dream to explore the way, but was stopped by the bearded man.
He couldn't help but feel scared.
"Mother-in-law, do you think this is Kuzhu's first reincarnation?" the bearded man suddenly asked.
Granny Sha was slightly startled: "What do you mean?"
"I think this might not be Kuzhu's first reincarnation."
The bearded man pondered, "He arrived in Gongzhou City and died immediately. After his death, he transformed into a demon, letting the mutated mushrooms test the aptitude, ability and adaptability of each young person. He is very familiar with this routine. If it was the first time, how could he be so skilled?"
Qingyang realized: "If he had reincarnated once before, then it makes sense. But he is a high monk in Buddhism. If he had done it before, there must be traces left. We only need to check the demonic changes of past generations, and we can find clues of his previous life!"
Granny Sha said, "He is over 130 years old. His last reincarnation was probably more than 100 years ago. Who was he more than 100 years ago and what kind of demonic transformation did he control? Who can tell? I'm afraid only Xijing has records on this."
When she mentioned Xijing, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: "How did Kuzhu know that Xiao Shi and Li Tianqing were in Gongzhou? How did he know that Li Tianqing had a first-grade divine fetus? He is an old monk with only one disciple. No one told him. How could he know that Li Tianqing's divine fetus was a first-grade divine fetus? How could he know that Xiao Shi came to Gongzhou City to participate in the Autumn Examination? Could it be that someone in Xijing told him this?"
She thought of more.
Creator Xiaowu went to Xijing and he certainly would not be idle. At this time, someone in Xijing told Kuzhu that Gongzhou had a suitable reincarnated child. What did he want to do?
Was he doing a favor to Kuzhu, or using the magic created by Kuzhu to lure Xiaowu away? Or was he afraid that Xiaowu would find out about him, so he used Kuzhu to fight Xiaowu and make them both lose?
"The water in Xijing is really too deep."
She silently said in her heart, "No wonder Chen Yin wanted to leave Xijing back then. It's a pity that Kuzhu is dead. If he is not dead, or his soul is still there, we can ask him who gave him this information. Maybe we can find out who took away Xiao Shi's divine fetus back then."
The bearded man interrupted her thoughts and said, "More than a hundred years ago might not have been Kuzhu's first reincarnation. He might have reincarnated twice, three times, or even four or five times before! But even such a being fell into the hands of a child."
He still couldn't believe it when he said this.
"Now that Master Kuzhu is gone, it will be much easier to deal with that demon."
Qingyang asked, "Now, is it our turn to take action?"
Granny Sha stopped thinking about it and said with a smile, "It's not our turn. The gathering of the scattered people is coming soon. There are many scattered people hiding in this city. I'm afraid that many of them are eyeing this demon! We just need to keep an eye on Xiao Shi, and we'll be thankful."
At the main hall of Hongshan Hall, although Chen Shi noticed that the expressions of Hongshan Goddess and others were strange, he did not think much about it.
The last time Zen Master Kuzhu was injured when he took over his body, he realized that no matter what was hidden in his sea of consciousness, it could hurt Kuzhu, so he was willing to take the risk!
Although getting rid of Zen Master Kuzhu cannot break the Demon Realm, the minimum difficulty of breaking the Demon Realm is reduced a lot.
He put down the mirror, went outside, looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was still the same as before, without any change.
He looked out at the Daxing Zen Temple from afar, where golden light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire sky. Dust formed into clouds, which were reflected like colorful clouds.
The Demon Realm remains.
It did not disappear just because Zen Master Kuzhu was trapped.
"My expectation was correct!"
Chen Shi's eyes flickered, and he said to Li Tianqing, "Kuzhu is not a demon seed! The real demon seed is still in the Zen temple."
Li Tianqing frowned and said, "The Demon Realm is still there. This Gongzhou City is a purgatory, and people will continue to die. If we don't break the Demon Realm, even if we can survive the demon transformation for a hundred days, we will not be able to escape under the watchful eyes of the True God!"
He added: "Don't expect Xijing to send people to rescue you. It's a long way from here to Xijing. Creator Xiaowu is causing chaos in Xijing, and Xijing can't spare any manpower. By the time Xijing pacifies Xiaowu, I'm afraid everyone here will be dead."
Chen Shi was very confident and said, "I don't think the Demon Realm can hold out for long. Don't forget, the gathering of the independent people is at Wuling, Henggong Mountain, outside Gongzhou City. Now the gathering has not started yet, but many independent people have already gone to Wuling. Maybe there are many independent people in our city as well. They will definitely not sit and wait for death!"
Li Tianqing was still a little worried and said, "The strength of the scattered people may not be better than that of Governor Fei and others, and they may not be able to get rid of this demon species."
In the following days, there were fewer and fewer living people in the city. Many people were infected by the dust and turned into walking mushrooms.
The city is full of mushrooms as tall as houses wandering around. They are very powerful and will take the initiative to attack when they see a living person, capturing the person and putting them in cages.
Many people were sent to Daxing Zen Temple, and then more mushroom giants were seen wandering in the city.
The number of staff in Hongshan Hall has gradually decreased. Although many talisman masters have learned the Dust Purification Talisman, they will not be infected as long as they are not caught by the mushroom giants. But now it has become extremely difficult for them to go out, and they will be killed by these mushroom giants if they are not careful.
Even more dangerous are people.
The mushroom giant is so big that it can be spotted from a distance and can be avoided with caution.
But people can set traps, launch sneak attacks, set baits, lay sieges, poison, and so on.
There are even rumors in the city that there is not enough food and some people have started eating human beings!
“Nothing was gained today.”
Master Xiao Xiang returned empty-handed, feeling somewhat dejected. "There is not a single fish in the Minjiang River. I don't know where those fish monsters have gone."
Some talisman masters were so hungry that they felt dizzy. They looked at the Blood Tai Sui, were slapped in the face, and whispered, "That's the Goddess of Red Mountain!"
Then he looked at the majestic rabbit and was slapped in the face again.
"That's our hall master!"
Pairs of hungry red eyes looked at the black pot, and then everyone looked away, as if they didn't see the black pot.
"Can we eat mushrooms?" someone whispered.
“That’s a human!”
"But the hall master eats it all."
"The hall master is a rabbit, and it is natural for a rabbit to eat mushrooms."
……
Chen Shi listened to their words and suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to look for food! Hei Guo, you come with me!"
Black Pot stood up, wagged his tail, and followed him.
Li Tianqing hurriedly said: "Xiao Shi, I'll go with you!"
Chen Shi nodded, and the two men and the dog walked out of the Hongshan Hall headquarters.
"Tianqing, are you hungry?" Chen Shi asked.
Li Tianqing nodded: "I feel a little dizzy and my heart is beating fast."
Chen Shi pulled up his pants, tightened his belt, and said, "Me too."
Li Tianqing said, "The last time Lu Xiangzhu got a fish monster, he boiled the fish head twice. The second time, he froze it into fish jelly, which was not very filling. The third time, he couldn't cook it into fish jelly, so I ate the fish bones. Lu Xiangzhu slapped me on the head and scolded me for wasting food."
He felt quite aggrieved and said, "He picked up the fish bones I spit out, chewed them up and ate them, saying that this would not be a waste. Xiao Shi, can you find something to eat? I'm so hungry."
The last time the evil Bodhisattva transformed, they were able to hunt exotic beasts to satisfy their hunger and save a lot of food. But this time, only Minjiang River had exotic beasts, and there was not enough to eat.
"There must be a lot of fish monsters in the Minjiang River. The reason why we can't find them is that they must have been hidden by the Minjiang Grandma of the Cao Lao Society."
Chen Shi guessed, "Let's go to Cao Lao Hui, where we can still find food. Bring the black pot with you, and the black pot can help us."
He glanced at Hei Guo who was walking in front of him and said, "If Gouzi can change our perception, then he can definitely change the perception of the people in Cao Lao Hui. We can just go to Cao Lao Hui and move the food away. Hei Guo, can you do it?"
Hei Guo was so hungry that his legs were weak and he cried out weakly.
Chen Shi smiled and said, "The blame should be put on it."
Li Tianqing was guessing what Hei Guo meant when Hei Guo suddenly stopped and looked vigilantly at the corner of the street in front of him.
Chen Shi's golden elixir left his body immediately and he said in a deep voice, "Who is that friend in front? Come out."
Li Tianqing also immediately prepared his golden elixir and magic spells, ready to attack at any time, but he saw a figure slowly walking out from the street corner ahead.
A young monk smiled, clasped his hands together, greeted the two men, and said with a smile: "My two classmates, my master came to take over your bodies. Could it be that he has died in your hands?"
