Chapter 243: Kill the demon and destroy the temple, and add a new evil
"You will definitely die today."

Cheng Xinzhan emerged from the wind and stood in front of the demon monk's head.

The demon monk's head flew up and he tried to escape.

Cheng Xinzhan flipped his hand, and a gourd appeared in his palm. Fire came out of the gourd mouth, and at the same time, a powerful suction force burst out, sucking the demon monk's head back.

Not only that, the gourd flashed with light and pulled the demon monk's soul out of his spirit platform. The demon monk's golden soul was still shrinking rapidly under the control of the gourd, and finally it was only the size of a thumb and was pulled just above the mouth of the gourd.

There was a flame burning on the mouth of the gourd, like a candle flame, and the soul of the evil monk was locked by the flame.

"but."

Cheng Xinzhan looked at the panicked little soul and said,

“If I ask you something and you answer truthfully, I can let you reincarnate, and I can find a clean piece of sand to bury your relics.

"But if you don't cooperate, I will burn your soul to ashes, and throw your relics into the cesspool, so that you will never be able to be reborn and never be able to return to the Pure Land of Buddha."

The demon's soul looked at Cheng Xinzhan in horror, wondering why such vicious words came out of his mouth.

The demon's soul exuded a strong will, indicating that he was willing to cooperate no matter what was done.

Cheng Xinzhan didn't find it strange that his threats were very effective.

When he was the master of the Shituo Cave in Tianshao Mountain, he read the scriptures left by ancient Western Buddhism.

The holy land of ancient Western Buddhism is the Pure Land of Buddha. According to legend, the place is covered with golden sand, and there is a small world in every grain of sand.

Therefore, ancient Western Buddhists believed that after a person died, the relics, which Taoists called elixir, should be buried in the sand, and the person would then be reborn into the Pure Land of Buddhism in the next life.

However, the things made from grains were considered by ancient Western Buddhists to be the most filthy things in the world. If one was even slightly touched by them, one would never be able to become a Buddha, let alone put relics in them. Just hearing about or thinking about such things was torture for them.

Moreover, it is absolutely impossible for them to do such a thing as self-destructing the relics.

The demons here are very different from those in Tianqiao Mountain.

Perhaps in order to conceal his true identity, the demon of Tianqiao Mountain has completely abandoned ancient Western Buddhism and only used the corpse refining method of the Shita lineage in the Buddhist scriptures, which he distorted and evilized. People who don't know the inside story would never guess that Tianqiao Mountain is related to ancient Western Buddhism.

Even within Tianqiao Mountain, only a few temple owners knew the source of Tianqiao Mountain's lineage. If Cheng Xinzhan had not slayed the demon and saved the corpse, perhaps after a few more generations in Tianqiao Mountain, they probably wouldn't even know who their own ancestors were.

And if Cheng Xinzhan wanted to threaten others with what he just said, the other party would definitely ignore him.

But it was different in Kangxi, and the demons here were naturally very strange. But when Cheng Xinzhan heard that the demons in the Xikang area built temples and called themselves monks and bodhisattvas, kept "believers" in captivity, and practiced Buddhist concepts such as "white bones", "no mind", and "cold and heat", he understood that the demon monks here still believed in Buddhism in their hearts, but the means they used to practice Buddhism had become completely evil.

So when Cheng Xinzhan said something that was absolutely treasonous to ancient Western Buddhists, the evil monk immediately surrendered.

At this moment, Cheng Xinzhan also remembered where the source of the Dharma lineage of the various demon temples and monasteries was on this land that was almost unified by the Eight Suffering Kings.

It is of the "Kutuo" lineage.

It is recorded in the ancient Western Buddhist scriptures in the Shita Cave that "Kuta" and "Shita" are both great Buddhas in the Pure Land of Buddha, and the "Kuta" lineage believes that suffering is also a form of spiritual practice.

Wu Mei didn't react until Cheng Xinzhan had already controlled the demon monk. She put away the flying sword and the glow, came to Cheng Xinzhan, and looked at him carefully.
"how did you do it?"

Cheng Xinzhan then gave a brief explanation.

"My wind skills are pretty good."

Wu Mei was still surprised. Although wind escape was outside the five elements, it was not too difficult to learn. However, this person was in the same realm as her, and he could use the wind to hide in the sword mist of her sword and the cold fog of the demon monk without being noticed. This was very scary.

Also, what about that cold sword light in the wind?

"I say, Yunlai, you also practice swordsmanship?"

Cheng Xinzhan nodded slightly.
"A little bit."

It was not appropriate to chat at this moment, so he looked at the demon's spirit and said,

"In addition to ordinary people, I see the presence of practitioners in the temple. Are they your disciples?"

The demon's spirit nodded.

"Call them out and kill them all."

At this moment, Wu Mei put away her sword, and the cold fog still covered the lake, so the little demons in the temple thought that their abbot had forced Xuanmen to retreat again.

The demon's soul was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately did as he was told.
"Everyone, come outside the temple. There have been frequent invasions from the Xuanmen sect recently. I want to teach you a secret method to protect yourselves."

The voice of Monk Han Shi echoed in the temple.

Then there was a cheer, and a group of evil monks wearing white robes with blue patterns rushed out of the temple and stood by the lake.

Among these evil monks, many were missing limbs and their faces were pale blue, but their eyes were bright, as if the cold was not suffering but a kind of enjoyment.

However, the next moment, what they saw was not the cold fog dissipating and revealing the true appearance of the host, but instead the cold fog surged and enveloped them all, and then one by one they turned into ice sculptures and fell to the ground.

There were a few who were at a relatively high level and who had not yet died and were still trying to escape, but at this time, Wu Mei summoned her flying sword again and killed these demons one by one.

Looking at the balls of fire burning on the shore, Wu Mei didn't expect that this trip would be so easy.

"Put away the cold fog."

The soul did as it was told, and the cold fog over the entire lake gradually gathered and finally condensed into a bead.

Then the appearance of the lake was completely presented before Cheng Xinzhan's eyes.

The lake water is emerald blue and deep, as clear as ice, and you can't see the bottom. There is an iceberg in the lake. Looking down from above, it seems like you are looking at the sky. The iceberg in the water looks like an upside-down mountain growing in the sky.

There were many ice cubes floating on the lake, and the one where the people were standing was the largest one.

Cheng Xinzhan held the beads in his hand, looked at them, and said,
"Is this a cold evil?"

The demon's spirit nodded and said with divine thoughts,
"You have good eyesight, Immortal. This is the 'North Pole Cold Light Evil', a cold evil spirit taken from the thousand-year-old glacier at the bottom of the lake."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded. No wonder he felt somewhat familiar. Many years ago when he was exorcising demons in West Kunlun, he encountered disciples from the Ice and Snow Palace. One of the demons used a magic weapon to condense into a silk scarf and disperse into cold mist, which was called the "Arctic Cold Light Miasma" and was said to have been refined from a thousand-year-old glacier.

Cheng Xinzhan held the bead in his hand. He wanted it. This kind of Yin Sha would be very helpful for him to sacrifice to "Youdu" and comprehend the meaning of Taiyin. He looked at Wu Mei and asked,

"Yunyan, what are the rules for exorcising demons and dividing treasures in your Xuanmen?"

Wu Mei smiled, pointed to the head on the ground, and said,
"This battle was won entirely thanks to Yunlai's attack. If you can give me the head to take back as a reward, Xichuan Jiange and I will be grateful. All the treasures seized belong to Yunlai."

Cheng Xinzhan shook his head upon hearing this.
"If you hadn't used the sword to split the devil's heart and covered for me, I wouldn't have been able to get it so easily. It's not right to take it all."

He thought for a while and said,
"I will take his personal belongings. You can take the things in the temple and other demons' belongings. You will have to take care of the mortals in the temple."

Wu Mei nodded after hearing this and did not refuse.

She collected the head of Monk Han Shi, while Cheng Xinzhan collected the entire block of ice that sealed Monk Han Shi.

Afterwards, the two came to Hanwei Temple. Wu Mei used her magic power to pull a huge stone and placed it in front of the temple gate. She asked Cheng Xinzhan,
"I want to engrave a word to record my merits. This will also be the basis for the division of land in the future. Yunlai, do you want to be included?"

Cheng Xinzhan thought for a moment and said,

"Then please record the word 'Dongdao'. After all, I learned the Taoist skills from the East."

Wu Mei thought that Yunlai was indeed bothered by what she had just said. She nodded and used her flying sword to carve the following words on the boulder:
"On August 28, the 456th year of the Ming Dynasty, our host friends and Xichuan Jiange destroyed the Hanwei Temple."

At this time, the mortals in the temple were also startled by the noise outside and came out timidly. They were wearing tattered cotton-padded clothes and were shivering from the cold. Their fingers and ears were black, and many of them were missing limbs.

They saw two strangers and screamed in fear. They also saw the dead immortal master lying on the ground and fainted. They didn't know whether they were happy or scared.

----

Xichuan Jiange, Jingu Jingshe.

Cheng Xinzhan has subdued the evil spirit and is now meditating to regulate his breathing and tame the new evil spirit.

This is the eighth Gangsha in Cheng Xinzhan's hand.

Before today, he had two Yang Gangs: "Yangming Yuntang Gang" and "Longyin Shuilei Gang"; two Yin Gangs: "Yuze Peilin Gang" and "Chongyun Zhatian Gang"; two Yang Shas: "Huangji Zhengwu Sha" and "Xianbing Chiluo Sha"; and one Yin Sha: "Zihuo Rotten Tao Sha".

Among them, "Xianbing Chiluosha" was refined by him from the golden elixir of the baboon in the Fire Temple of Tianjiao Mountain using the method of returning wind and fire.

The quality of the mandrill's golden elixir is very poor. The yang energy used to form the elixir comes from "Xianbing Chiluosha", and the yin energy is not even Gangsha, but the yin miasma formed by condensation of various putrid air he collected from the mountains. The yin and yang are combined in this way to form the elixir using a secret recipe.

As for the master of the water temple, he didn't even use Gangsha to generate the Yin and Yang energies, but used secret remedies and methods to gather energy instead. A golden elixir like this couldn't even survive the second elixir tribulation.

So when Cheng Xinzhan went back to refine the elixir, she realized why the master of the water temple at that time was so easy to fool, and she was trapped by a dragon bone relic. Because her path was basically a dead end, she could only pin her hope on the corpse puppet. As expected, after leaving the corpse puppet, she was killed so easily.

There was a Yin Wood Evil in the golden elixir of the master of the Wooden Temple, but he had gone mad while refining the evil corpse of the tree man. The dead energy in his body was stagnant, and his golden elixir was decayed, and the evil energy was also corroded and contaminated. It was no longer usable, and even the method of returning wind and fire could not be used to refine it.

Among the three golden pills, the only one that was refined was "Xianbing Chiluosha", which was of very good quality and was a gold, fire and yang evil.

This kind of evil has the true form of a raging fire, but this fire is born from the blood and evil spirit of weapons. This real evil only exists on a battlefield full of war, so in addition to the true intention of burning everything and killing everything, this kind of evil fire also has the sharpness of weapons. When the evil fire shines on a person, it feels like a branding iron is sticking to the body.

A new Yin evil spirit was added today: "North Pole Cold Light Evil". Now there are exactly two Yin and Yang evil spirits.

Fortunately, this Yin Sha was not over-refined after being taken out from the ten thousand year old glacier by Monk Han Shi. It was just used as extreme cold air to torture the body and for self-defense. The true Sha itself is still very pure, which makes it easier for Cheng Xinzhan to refine it.

Cheng Xinzhan is now at the third realm of cultivation. His body has experienced the tempering of thunder tribulation, and he has also refined Gangsha into his body many times. Therefore, when he takes the Sha now, he no longer needs the assistance of lead and mercury.

When this evil enters the body, it causes a bone-chilling cold.

Cheng Xinzhan is familiar with this. When dealing with Yin Sha, he would use Yang Sha to cater to it. Evil spirits have the same origin, and Yin and Yang counteract each other.

When "Xianbing Chiluosha" met "Beiji Hanguangsha", it dissolved a lot of the cold air. While yin and yang were interacting with each other and refining the cold evil, Cheng Xinzhan was also carefully experiencing the Taiyin Dharma.

From the "Rainy Rain" he comprehended the Taiyin's [moisture] and [vitality], from the "Heavy Clouds Covering the Sky" he comprehended the Taiyin's [darkness] and [change], from the "Purple Fire Rotten Peach" he comprehended the Taiyin's [corruption] and [dryness].

Now, what he realized from the "Arctic Cold Light Evil" was the extreme cold, the eternal and unchanging oneness, and the ultimate silence between heaven and earth.

Suddenly, he deciphered the third word of the Taiyin Spell.

【lonely】.

He spent three days to completely refine this newly acquired cold evil, and then divided it into two acupoints.

Most of it was placed in the Water Palace, where it turned into a light cold mist that enveloped the Guanghan Palace, soaking up the water-based magic power for future use.

A small part is placed in the Yin Palace to temper the "Youdu".

Only after he has dealt with the real evil will he have time to deal with the monk Han Shi’s soul.

“Are the eight sufferings of the Eight Sufferings Vajra King inherited in Xikang?”

"Yes."

Monk Han Shi answered honestly.

"The eight sufferings are bones, no heart, cold and heat, disease and sores, insect bites, weak wind, closed mouth, and carrying stones. Am I wrong?"

Monk Han Shi was a little surprised when he heard this. The Buddhist Dharma of the Eight Sufferings has been passed down in the Xikang area for a long time, but apart from the Eight Sufferings Vajra King, no one could practice it completely.

To be precise, except for the Vajra King of Eight Sufferings, no one could possess two Dharmas in one body without being killed by the pain. Therefore, the Vajra King of Eight Sufferings at that time was regarded as the reincarnation of the Buddha of Eight Sufferings, and was therefore respected as the Vajra King.

Among the Eight Sufferings, some are unconventional. Not to mention whether anyone has successfully practiced them, even those who have heard of them are very few. Yet, this Taoist priest in front of him can actually explain them all?
Fortunately, Hanwei Temple is an ancient temple with a long heritage, but it has declined in recent years. All the masters in the temple were killed in the battle where Changmei Zhenren beheaded Mingwang, so Monk Han Shi knew that what the Taoist said was right.

He nodded.

"Which temple is practicing "Sui Feng"? Take me to find it."

Monk Han Shi nodded without any hesitation, and then asked,

"I will tell you everything I know, Immortal. Could you please spare my life?"

"You can have a chance to be reborn."

As if it was because he had just refined the cold evil, Cheng Xinzhan's tone was extremely cold.
