Chapter 185: Viper
These people all held positions in the Tianxin Sect, and their minds and hearts were considered outstanding. Therefore, even in this moment of panic and fear, they were able to speak clearly.

So, Li Wuxiang knew how the true spirit of Guiyin Zhenjun was suppressed.

Jin Zijiu was not born with extraordinary talents as recorded in the classics in the Tianxin illusion, and she had strange visions when she was born. In fact, she was originally an ordinary disciple of the Tianxin sect with mediocre qualifications, and her mind could even be called dull. She also had many difficulties and obstacles when practicing. But there was only one thing that was very outstanding, and that was her sincerity.

Perhaps dull people have fewer complicated thoughts. Jin Zijiu is extremely pious to Emperor Donghuang Taiyi and Guiyin Zhenjun, who are worshipped by the Tianxin Sect.

Emperor Taiyi was a man with a high status, so she could only worship him. However, True Lord Guiyin was a woman and the founder of Tianxin Sect, so Jin Zijiu felt a little bit of respect for this founder besides worshipping him.

In addition to praying and offering sacrifices in the morning and evening, Jin Zijiu would also pray to the True Spirit of Guiyin Zhenjun when he was alone, hoping to be favored. He did this every day from the time he entered the sect at the age of eleven until he was possessed by the True Spirit at the age of twenty-six.

No one knew whether it was because her sincerity attracted the unconscious spirit or it was just pure luck, but all this happened when she was just 26 years old and had just started to cultivate Qi.

It was a long and difficult process to confirm that it was a real spirit and not an external evil that possessed her. When she was about 30 years old, the people of Tianxin Sect finally confirmed that the thing in her body was truly the real spirit of Guiyin Zhenjun and not a powerful external evil in disguise.

There are two kinds of people who have been in a low position for a long time and suddenly get blessed. One is to be complacent and arrogant, and the other is to be unable to adapt to the current status quickly and become fearful. Jin Zijiu is the latter. After being canonized as the Supreme Sect Master by the Tianxin Sect, she actually did not act like a sect master, but rather was submissive and afraid of disappointing the true spirit in her body.

The previous Tianxin Sect Master was named Xu Shou, who originally did not intend to appoint a "Grand Master" but wanted to make way for someone more capable. But after understanding Jin Zijiu's personality, he realized that it would be difficult for her to handle the important task at the moment, so he began to consider another issue -

The True Spirit contains the skills and knowledge of Guiyin Zhenjun during his lifetime, which is a powerful helper for Tianxin Sect. But the premise of all this is that the person whose body is possessed by the True Spirit must be able to control it. Otherwise, it is very likely that he will be like other people whose bodies are possessed by external evil, and eventually be possessed by others, have his temperament changed drastically, and cause great disasters in the world of the living.

In order to be able to subdue this true spirit and use its magical powers, the person whose body is possessed must have extremely high Taoism skills - because just like summoning the true spirit in the sacred mountain, the price of using its magical powers is also one's life span.

Therefore, Tianxin Sect tried every possible way, and with the accumulation of more than 2,000 years of the sect, finally pushed Jin Zijiu's realm to the Nascent Soul stage. When she reached the Nascent Soul stage, she also became more harmonious with the True Spirit of Guiyin Zhenjun, so after another 30 years, she finally became a Yang God.

At this point, the worries that the Tianxin Sect's top leaders had been worried about for decades were finally put to rest - now that Jin Zijiu had released his Yang Shen, they could use their physical bodies as a container to suppress his True Spirit. In this way, they could slowly gain the knowledge of the True Spirit, and when the sect was in crisis, they could call upon Jin Zijiu's Yang Shen to enter their bodies and use his supernatural powers to solve the problem temporarily.

The medicinal garden near Yulun Mountain was taken over by Jin Zi after she discovered the Yang God.

The Sword Sect's Yang Shen is a genuine incarnation. But the 36 Sects' Yang Shen is actually between the Sword Sect's Yang Shen and the Nascent Soul. It is a tangible body, but it cannot exist completely apart from the physical body and will still be affected by it.

The physical body that suppressed the true spirit was losing its lifespan all the time. By the time Zhou Ruixin took over as the leader, Jin Zijiu's physical body had already shown signs of decay, and his Yang spirit had also shown signs of aging. Once this physical body collapsed, the true spirit would either return to the sacred mountain, or descend to the Yang world like it was doing now, bringing about a catastrophe.

Therefore, Zhou Ruixin avoided Jin Zijiu and convened a meeting of the sect's top leaders. There is a way to keep the true spirit safely in Yulun Mountain. It is to refine Jin Zijiu's yang spirit and physical body into one. This way, he can maintain his lifespan for more than 200 years. The price is that Jin Zijiu himself will completely become a container for the true spirit.

This time, it is what Black Cat said, what happened more than sixty years ago.

After the sect's top leaders made the decision, Zhou Ruixin told Jin Zijiu that she needed her Yang Shen to return to her body to use her magical powers to solve a major problem for the sect. But if she really waited for her Yang Shen to enter her body, the formation that had been prepared for several years would be activated immediately, so as Lou He had said before, she completely refined her body and soul and trapped her true spirit safely again.

"Sect Master Zhou has no selfish motives. At most, we can say that he has bad morals and behaves like a mean person." The man said in a sad voice, "Sect Master, think about it. There are so many natural treasures in the sect that can only barely push her to the Nascent Soul stage. If her true spirit is really gone, or descends to the world, what will we do? The mistake is that this was done to avoid Sect Master Jin, but who can take this risk?"

"Master, think about it again. What if Master Jin didn't allow it? Who on Yulun Mountain could defeat her? Who would dare to take the risk? We all know that we had no choice. Who wouldn't feel guilty?"

Li Wuxiang looked at the black cat, then at the man: "Then how did Sect Leader Jin's Yang Spirit end up in the medicinal garden at the foot of the mountain?"

The man was stunned: "Ah? What medicine garden?"

Well, they didn't know. This Jin Zijiu in the medicine garden is really not Jin Zijiu!

Li Wuxiang nodded and looked at Black Cat: "Senior, are they telling the truth?"

It was still the old woman who spoke, but her tone was completely different, no longer disguised: "The truth is the truth, but can their thoughts really be hidden from Jin Zijiu?"

"None of these idiots have reached the level of Yang God, so naturally they don't know what Yang God's magical powers are like. From the moment Zhou Rui thought about this, to the moment he made the decision, and then to the moment he tricked her into walking into the formation, Jin Zijiu knew everything clearly. But she is too stupid! She thinks that everything she has is given by the sect, and in the end she has to give it back! She won't listen to advice!"

When she spoke the last few words, her voice was so stern that the eight people behind Li Wuxiang were stunned, not knowing who the person standing in front of them was.

Li Wuxiang stopped pretending to be confused and said, "So, you have been hiding near Yulun Mountain for all these years just to avenge Sect Master Jin? I dare to ask you, is your true identity the 'water-avoiding golden-eyed beast' recorded in the Tianxin illusion?"

"Oh, you little monkey, you are quite clever!" The black cat said this, and suddenly stretched out its two front paws, as if to stretch. But its body suddenly swelled up, and a gust of wind suddenly blew up around it. The kind of pressure similar to the external evil that Li Wuxiang had felt before appeared, and the few people behind him were immediately dumbfounded by this breath, and could only lie on the ground and tremble.

Li Wuxiang had been dealing with external evil for a long time before, so he could resist it to some extent, but he also felt palpitations in his heart, as if he were a living person, with his breath coming in and out of his chest, making him feel suffocated and uncomfortable!

Two breaths later, when the gust of wind dissipated, the black cat had disappeared, and in its place was a head like that of a black lion, but slightly flatter, with a pair of big golden eyes like copper bells, and a pair of dark golden long horns. There were scales on the body, limbs, and long tail, also dark black, with the edges seeming to be light gold, showing a slight fluorescence.

With every breath it took, a light mist emanated from its mouth, nose, and expanded scales, as if the entire thing was bathed in clouds and mist, and not from the human world!
This is……

Kirin! ?
He had never heard of the word Qilin in this world, but he knew it in his previous life! How could there be such a thing here! ?
"Little monkey, do I look like some kind of beast to you?"

Its eyes were so bright! When Li Wuxiang looked into its eyes, he felt dazed, as if the evil had come upon him again and was trying to take away his mind!

He had to look away: "Senior is... Qilin?"

"what?"

No?

He was about to ask again, but it had already paced a few steps on the ground and walked to Jin Zijiu's side.

After it revealed its true form, Jin Zijiu stood there in a daze. As soon as he touched the mist around him, his entire body immediately became distorted and blurred. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a paper figure and fell to the ground.

It lowered its head and sucked the paper man into its mouth: "Do you know why I helped you this time? It's because you are the leader of Ranshan Sect. I have some friendship with your ancestor Li Jiaotu. He taught me some of your Ranshan tricks."

What a big tone! He is on equal terms with the founder of Ranshan, one of the thirty-six true immortals, Yuliejun Li Jiaotu?
But no matter whether what it said was true or false, now it had to rely on me to kill Zhou Ruixin and destroy the Tianxin Sect, which showed that its current ability was not as great as its tone. Was it because I also participated in the war more than 3,000 years ago, and although I survived by chance, my Taoism was greatly damaged?
"So, Senior, you are——"

"Gongfu. Have you heard of me?" It raised its head slightly and squinted its eyes a little, as if it was very satisfied with its name. Its head was an animal head, but its expression was quite rich, so it was not sure if it was an illusion, but Li Wuxiang felt that when it squinted its eyes, it seemed to be a little confused.

As for the name Gongfu... Li Wuxiang thought about it for a moment, and suddenly he felt as if he had some impression of it! In his previous life, he didn't know much about folk customs, but he vaguely remembered that this name seemed to be a kind of auspicious beast? Dragon's son? But regarding Dragon's son, he only knew some "Chiwen", "Ya Zi", "Chao Feng", "Ba Xia" and so on.

He had always been thinking, since he came from another world, could there be others? He felt that there must be! Otherwise, how could he explain the poems that Ranshan Sect recited when accepting disciples?

He had only heard of dragons in this world, but had never heard of "a dragon giving birth to nine sons"... The name Gongfu was very strange!
So he just shook his head and immediately said, "I am ignorant and have never heard of your name."

The Gongfu exhaled another breath of mist and moved its claws on the ground. It turned its head and lowered it a little, looking at Li Wuxiang: "Jin Zijiu was a good person, I liked her very much, but she was killed by these idiots! Now that you have heard the story and become the leader of Tianxin Sect, do you still want to protect these people behind you?"

Li Wuxiang turned around and looked at the eight people lying on the ground, and sighed: "Senior, I am a swordsman."

"Oh, so you're going to stop me?"

"I mean, swordsmen naturally hate evil." Li Wuxiang moved to the side and let the people behind him go out. "Whether Sect Master Jin is willing or not, there is nothing to say about this matter. Senior, please do it."

The eight people were stunned and looked up in astonishment. But before they could say anything, the centipede suddenly rushed forward, and wherever a black shadow passed, blood flowed like a river. The eight people were torn to pieces in an instant.

It still seemed to be unsatisfied, lowering its head and opening its mouth to chew, making the bones crackle and blood spurt out, then it rolled up its long tongue and licked the residue from the corners of its mouth. It shook its head violently, exhaled toward the sky, and looked at Gui Yin Zhenjun in the distance again.

It wasn't just boasting. After it revealed its true form and emitted that terrifying aura, the blue light on the peak of Taiyi Temple suddenly shrank, as if suppressed by some force. The trend of melting everything that was originally spreading down the mountain also stopped, and the land that had originally become moist and soft rebounded slightly and rose a little.

As a result, the peak really became like a huge well, and the spirit of Guiyin Zhenjun, who was vaguely visible before, also entered the well and seemed to have dived down.

This scene gave Li Wuxiang a flash of inspiration, and some fragments hidden in his memory jumped out -

He remembered, no wonder this centipede looked familiar!

Similar things can be seen on the drains, bridge heads, and bridge bodies of some ancient buildings in the past... Gongfu is a water-avoiding beast! In the folk legends of the past, it was used to suppress water and prevent floods!

Is this Gong Viper... born to restrain Gui Yin Zhen Jun?!

"When a good person dies, there shouldn't be any real spirit left in this world. Otherwise, it would be a punishment and a blasphemy against the dignity of the person in life. When Cheng Lihua was still alive, her temperament was very similar to Jin Zijiu's, but now? Look, she is about to be born, and she is regarded as an evil spirit, and she can't rest in peace even after death. I used to have a friendship with her, alas, only I can let her rest in peace." Gongfu spoke these words in a human voice, and turned his head to look at Li Wuxiang, "You are now the leader of Tianxin Sect, do you want to keep the thing in your eyes?"

"Senior, do you...want it?"

"I just want to keep this breath. Well, let me tell you, if you only have the golden coil on you, you will still feel quite happy. But with this, you will have no control over yourself in the future, and you will have more troubles. But having more troubles is not necessarily a bad thing, it depends on whether you are destined to have such troubles."
