Chapter 394: Overcoming the Difficulties in the Sea of Suffering
"What did you find?"
The Sword Washing Elder who followed Chen Luo had been paying attention to him. Seeing the change in his expression, he subconsciously asked.
Chen Luo did not respond to his question, but looked to the other side.
In the old forest on the right, a figure appeared at some point.
A fox with a cane.
"Are you here to make a wish?"
Sensing the gazes of Chen Luo and others, the old fox spoke in human language.
This fox gave people a very strange feeling. He was different from other demon cultivators. He did not have a demonic aura rising to the sky, but instead had a strange smell of incense. This strange feeling was very similar to the Shinto tactics that Chen Luo had come into contact with before.
"Are you the demon in this evil temple?"
The Sword Washing Elder's face suddenly turned cold. The information he had obtained by using the soul summoning method before, the ghost of the dead disciple clearly pointed out that the murderer was the demon in the Fox Fairy Temple.
"I am a cultivator in the mountains."
The old fox shook his head and denied the words of the Sword Washing Elder. He turned his eyes and stared at Elder Xijian who was speaking, and said word by word.
"Remember, don't say it wrong next time."
Facing the old fox's gaze, Elder Xijian felt his mind shaken, and an indescribable sense of guilt came over him, making him want to kneel down and confess to the fox.
"When did you escape from the inn?"
This sentence broke this strange feeling, and Chen Luo took a step forward. The power of the Heart Demon Jue mixed with the Lingren's "Sorrow Jue" to disperse this guilty emotion. The things in the inn were indeed weird. The exercises they practiced were the same as those of the Yin-Yang Demon Lord, and they were incompatible with the current world of immortal cultivation.
"I know a lot, but it's a pity that they are all illusions."
The old fox's eyes fell on Chen Luo again, and his eyes fluctuated, as if he saw something incomprehensible. Then he took a half step back, and his figure disappeared like a water curtain.
This is a fake body.
A fake body made of incense.
Everyone quickly dispersed and searched around. In the end, no clues were found. There were no footprints left where the old fox had stood before. The dry grass under his feet stood upright without any signs of being trampled.
"The wolf cubs who kowtowed are all dead."
A disciple found something wrong.
The rest of the people looked back and found that the animals who had knelt there and kowtowed before had all died. They were lying on their backs at the door of the Fox Fairy Temple, with creepy smiles on their mouths, as if they had seen something they were looking forward to.
Chen Luo walked over and squatted down to check.
The gray wolves died completely. There was no life left in their bodies, and even the life-borrowing Gu could not be extracted. This method, Chen Luo had read similar books when he was in the Qionghua Sect, and a certain external brain had made a record.
'Burn the longevity wish incense. '
A thought came up, and the corresponding content immediately emerged.
"The lives of these small animals were burned by the fox as 'wish incense'. The power he used to show up just now was the lives of these animals."
Chen Luo opened the dead wolf's eyes, and there was a brown and yellow color inside. When his palm touched their bodies, it felt like weeds, dry and rotten, without any signs of life.
"Brother Chen, the fox on the altar is smiling."
A voice suddenly sounded.
A disciple who was responsible for inspecting the Fox Fairy Temple removed the roof of this evil temple. The fox on the altar inside was still sitting cross-legged, but the difference was that there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
This smile was exactly the same as the animal kneeling and kowtowing in front.
"Evil and crooked!"
Elder Xijian had a bad temper, and a flash of light flashed in his hand, and a black magic sword appeared in his hand. Seeing this, the other disciples quickly dispersed, and Chen Luo did not stop them.
They were all sword cultivators of the Qionghua School, and their way of dealing with problems was very unified.
When in doubt, cut with a sword first.
Boom!
The sword energy swept over, the statue shattered, and a piece of white cloth flew out from it.
"Du'e Sutra?"
A disciple took the cloth and found that it was written with a technique that went straight to the golden elixir. The records of the techniques are very detailed, and the source is also described.
‘Ge Xian Shu – Disasters are here, cultivating qi and Yi Shu can overcome them. ’
Chen Luo took the cloth, his eyes flickered, and memorized the contents of the cloth.
This was his second contact with ‘Ge Xian’.
The first time was when he killed Xue Ning, and obtained a scroll from her. The scroll recorded a technique called “Kuhai Jing”. Xue Ning turned to ghost cultivation after “obtaining” the Kuhai Jing.
A Kuhai Jing.
A Duyi Jing.
The two scriptures were written by the same person, but it is unknown whether there is any connection between the two.
“Why did this fox hide this scripture in the statue? Could it be that he wanted to borrow the luck in the scripture?”
Elder Xijian also flipped through the cloth. The content was obscure and difficult to understand. He didn’t understand the mystery after reading it for a long time.
Luck?
When Chen Luo heard these two words, an idea emerged in his mind.
He remembered the special ability of the fox demon Su Linlin. As a lucky fox demon, she could see other people's luck. Although the old fox in the Fox Fairy Temple was not a lucky fox demon, it was very likely that he had similar magical powers.
He was also borrowing luck.
The fox demon Su Linlin was borrowing Chen Luo's luck, but the old fox in the Fox Fairy Temple was even bolder.
He was borrowing Ge Xian's luck.
As soon as this idea came up, Chen Luo suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and felt that the cloth in his hand was a little hot. He borrowed Brother Changqing's brains and was already considered a hero among men. He didn't expect someone to be braver than him!
Ge Xian is not like Brother Changqing.
He is still alive!
A living powerful person dares to 'borrow', and ten lives are not enough to compensate. I just hope that this old fox does not succeed, otherwise the sky will fall and even a tall man will not be able to withstand it!
‘No one who can live in an inn is a normal person. ’
Chen Luo quickly stood up, put the cloth back in its place, and used his magical power to repair the blown fox statue. Although the process was a bit rough, as he repaired the fox statue into a dog face, the result was perfect, and he stuffed the cloth back in again.
"Did you find something?"
Elder Xi Jian and a group of Qionghua sect disciples looked at Chen Luo and wondered why he stuffed the things back again. Could it be that there was some secret in the 'Spell of Escape' that they had not discovered?
"Get out of here first."
Chen Luo did not explain to them.
Seeing Chen Luo turn around and leave, the others had no choice but to follow. Elder Xi Jian looked back at the 'dog-faced' fox in the Fox Immortal Temple, and felt something was wrong.
The group of people flew away from the mountain forest and returned to the sect's stronghold.
This is the Qionghua Sect's stronghold closest to the Fox Immortal Temple. There is no doubt about the power of the Qionghua Sect in the Tiannan Region, and they have strongholds in every place. The sect has been developing for thousands of years, and there are countless disciples both openly and secretly, far more than just those on the surface.
After returning to the stronghold, Chen Luo assigned a task to Elder Xi Jian and others, asking them to go out and collect information related to the Nascent Soul Realm. Although the group did not know what this task had to do with collecting Nascent Soul Realm information, they still took the task and went out.
Chen Luo was alone in the secret room.
He took out the ancient painting he had originally obtained from Xue Ning.
Chen Luo has looked through this painting many times and memorized the "Sea of Bitterness Sutra" in it, but he has not practiced it so far because it is a 'ghost cultivation method'. That is to say, when Brother Evergreen ‘created the method’, he slightly borrowed some of its content.
The screen expands.
Familiar ink paintings come into view.
The old dilapidated temple, the 'Temple of Immortality' with vague handwriting, and the "Sea of Bitterness" still engraved on the big stone at the door. The Taoist was sitting on a stone and preaching, surrounded by demons below. I don’t know if it’s because I saw the ‘Sutra of Combating Calamities’, but when I look at this painting today, it feels different.
Chen Luo took out his talisman pen and wrote down the contents of the Book of Elimination of Disasters.
A strange scene happened. The moment the Sutra of Du Er was finished, the sutra on it seemed to come alive. A small black character jumped out of the paper and entered the scroll of "The Sutra of Bitter Sea" in front of Chen Luo.
On the ink painting.
There was another row of words on the big stone that was already full of writing. These words were combined with the Ku Hai Sutra to form a new practice.
‘It is a first-class immortal method to avoid disasters. ’
An idea came to Brother Changqing's mind.
Boom, boom, boom.
Before Chen Luo could study it carefully, there was a sudden knock on the door. Chen Luo stopped moving, waved his sleeves, and put away the scroll on the table. After doing this, he stood up and walked to the door, removed the defense formation, and opened the door.
Standing at the door was an old fox in gray robe.
"I didn't expect that your formation skills are so high, even I can't sneak in from the outside." The old fox looked at Chen Luo, with a strange look in his eyes.
"The Book of Disaster?"
Chen Luo looked at the old fox and immediately understood how he found him.
Just like the centipede spirit who practiced the "Sea of Bitterness Sutra". This old fox has feelings for everyone who has come into contact with the Book of Escape from Disasters. This kind of mysterious and mysterious method is what Chen Luo hates the most.
"How about it? This is Ge Xian's magical method. Even if most people want to see it, I won't give them a chance."
The two of them walked into the room and sat down like old friends.
Chen Luo also poured a cup of tea for the old fox.
"Did you kill the disciples of the Qionghua Sect?"
"I am a mountain cultivator and never take the initiative to kill." The old fox responded with a smile.
Chen Luo stared into the old fox's eyes. He didn't believe a word of what the old guy said. He had seen with his own eyes the old fox treating believers as 'wish incense' and burning them all.
"Those 'comrades' you see are all voluntary. They made wishes to me, and I fulfilled their wishes and took their lives by the way."
As if he knew what Chen Luo was thinking, the old fox took a sip of tea and continued.
"They are destined to have a calamity. I will help them with the secret technique of avoiding calamity. This is a deal."
"Three spiritual fields were destroyed, ore veins were stolen, and disciples on the seven main peaks died. This is an unending blood feud. All the remaining ghosts I found point to you."
Chen Luo did not discuss this topic with the old fox.
After accepting this task, it is natural to do it well. By using Elder Xi Jian and others to do personal things for him, he naturally cannot cause these people to fail in their mission.
"You can't believe everything the ghost says, and there are people who are more proficient in ghost cultivation than you." (End of Chapter)
