Yinshan Record

Chapter 64 Brothers join forces
The two demons were carrying Wencai at a brisk pace when they were suddenly startled to see someone fall from the sky.

"You two have quite the nerve."

Su Che opened the beautiful fan in his hand and glanced at the two monsters.

"You're not even going to offer me such a plump, healthy person as a tribute?"

His question left the two monsters momentarily speechless.

"Who are you?" "Where did this living person come from? How dare you!"

These two monsters were only at the ninth rank of cultivation, and they were forcibly trying to look like humans, but their intelligence was still lacking.

"How dare you ask who I am?"

Su Che pulled out his folding fan and delivered a vicious blow to the heads of the two monsters.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the talisman stirred slightly, and wisps of yin energy appeared around him, within which black ropes slithered like serpents.

"When Dushan Jun sees me, he will respectfully call me Master, and when he discusses the Dao with Heishan, he will call me Master Qing."

The two monsters looked at each other, sensing that something was wrong with the person in front of them.

"You're kidding me, you smell like a human." "Exactly, exactly."

Su Che waved his folding fan, and the Soul-Binding Rope firmly bound the duck demon. The demon was engulfed by yin energy and lost its strength, collapsing to the ground.

"This monster has a long tongue; it would be delicious to braise duck tongues with it."

Su Che glanced at the rabbit-headed monster: "Spicy rabbit heads are good with drinks too."

The rabbit demon was so frightened by the scene before it that it knelt down, its rabbit head banging as if it were pounding garlic paste.

"Master, spare us! We were blind and didn't recognize Master Qing."

Regardless of whether he is Master Qing or not, if you go all out, you might lose your head.

The two little demons lay down, but Wencai, who was lying across the carrying pole, suffered the most. He was thrown to the ground and turned into a rolling gourd.

"Whose subordinate are you?"

"We are subordinates of the Black Mountain Ancestor."

"What's the matter?"

"The Black Mountain Ancestor has given orders for us to go down the mountain, abduct people, and bring the living back."

Kidnapping living people? What is the Black Mountain Monster up to?
Su Che was a little confused about the situation.

For monsters, ordinary people are just food. Could it be that the Black Mountain Monster has mastered some evil magic weapon and wants to use living beings as blood sacrifices?
"Why are you arresting people?"

"I don't know, but they said that all the living people in Shanyin and Guobei counties must be captured. The master also released the Yellow Springs Misty Umbrella to cover the two counties with miasma."

The Yellow Springs Mystic Umbrella must be one of the Black Mountain Monster's magic weapons. So, does that mean the dim yellow sky in front of us was actually formed from miasma?

Black Mountain Monster has quite the grand scheme.

However, we must capture all the living people.

Su Che's first reaction was that the Black Mountain Monster was courting death.

Although humanity is in decline, it is still inconceivable that they would capture all the living people in both counties.

What level of cultivation does the Black Mountain Monster possess?
He must only be a fifth-rank martial artist. Right now, there's a fifth-rank martial artist, Feng Buxing, sitting outside Shanyin City.

There is also Lin Jiansheng from the Censorate, whose whereabouts are unknown.

Not only are there two fifth-rank officials, one in the open and one in the shadows, but the local Imperial Censor Yu Zehui will also lead elite troops to garrison the area.

It's uncertain how many of the Xuanshan demons will survive, and the Black Mountain Monster is now trying to capture all the living people in both counties.

What was he thinking? What was his purpose in doing this?
Even a lowly demon like him knows about capturing all the people in the two counties; this Black Mountain Monster is truly arrogant.

Su Che asked the little demon a few more questions. This rabbit-headed demon was dull-witted and spoke incoherently, his words not comprehensible.

It is said that the city gods of Shanyin and Guobei counties will also bring ghost soldiers to help, and all the demon kings in Xuanshan will take action.

Su San Gongzi was so confused by what he heard that he used the Soul Binding Lock to kill Wencai along with the duck demon, and then untied the man who was lying in a daze.

After pulling two stinking strips of cloth from Wen Cai's mouth—which the monsters had somehow found—Su Che roughly figured out the cause and effect of the matter.

"You said your master saw that the terrain of Shanyin and Guobei contained hidden Xuanmen laws?" Su Che recalled that when Feng Xingbu was talking to Shi Chibao and himself today, there were many circles and dots on the mountain terrain map in front of him.

If someone could arrange the layout within the two counties of Shanyin and Guobei, it would most likely be the work of that old lion.

The title "Lion-Lotus-Perfect Tathagata" refers to the fact that this person was originally from a Taoist sect.

If it really is the old lion orchestrating this.

His disappearance in Xuanshan back then was not due to suppression by powerful figures from all sides, but rather the result of his own meticulous planning.

It is very likely that he had already begun to secretly plan when he served as the national advisor of the previous dynasty, and the relocation of the Kulin Temple lineage to Shanyin County may have been the original plan of this old lion.

Su Che couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. Anyone who could achieve the third-grade Longevity Realm, regardless of their life experiences, absolutely deserved the title of outstanding person.

The old lion laid out its plan hundreds of years ago, and now that only the tip of the iceberg has been revealed, those who came after have already begun to struggle and make do.

I really don't know what kind of brilliance he must have had in his prime.

If others can do it, so can I.

A thought arose in Su San Gongzi's mind: he also wanted to see the scenery at the summit of that great path.

"Mr. Yue, my master and some friends are still in Niushou Village. The monster is powerful, so please help me, Mr. Yue..."

This time, it seems like their alternate accounts have run into each other.

Su Che thought for a moment and realized that now that he had met Wen Cai, he could no longer use the identity of Liu Yidao.

Let's ask Sect Leader Yue Buqun to take action again.

“It’s not too far from Niushou Village, you should rest and recuperate…” Su Che looked at Lin Jiugong’s disciple.

"Mr. Yue, let's get going now."

Wen Cai was quite anxious, as he had witnessed the power of the demons in Xuan Mountain.

Su Che nodded, and with a thought, the magic talisman transformed into a black longsword.

It is the supernatural transformation described in the "Secret Record of the Yin Heaven of King Zhou".

With his sword in hand, Su Che led the way, guiding Wen Cai into the thick miasma and demonic aura.

At this moment, outside Niushou Village, yellow lanterns hung high. Song Qi's hand seals changed continuously, and six yellow lanterns spun around. On the yellow paper of each lantern, a face appeared, displaying expressions such as joy, anger, sorrow, resentment, worry, and melancholy.

The six human-skin lanterns attacked from different directions, meeting the two-headed bear monster's giant axe head-on. Each time they crossed paths, they creaked under the weight of the attack.

These six human skin lanterns are Song Qi's most treasured possessions, accumulated over the years. Each one contains a fierce ghost with peak eighth-grade cultivation. Each strike not only carries a force of no less than a thousand pounds, but also exudes a chilling, bone-corroding, and soul-destroying aura.

However, this two-headed bear monster had thick skin and flesh, and with its two axes swinging left and right, it slowly approached.

Seeing this, Song Qi hardened his heart, bit his tongue hard, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The drops of blood separated from its mouth into seven streams of blood mist. The human-skin lantern, after being doused with this blood mist, seemed to have taken a tonic, and its movements became even more violent.

When did the Black Mountain Monster acquire such a powerful demon general?

Song Qi knew his own situation well; he was a seventh-rank Daoist Night Wanderer. Coupled with his ability to control ghosts and the six human-skin lanterns, he could be said to be unparalleled among his peers in the seventh rank.

Today I encountered this two-headed bear monster, and it made me feel exhausted just by wielding a pair of axes.

A thought flashed through Song Qi's mind.

The Xuan You Dao Zhen Dan is a must-have, but this black bear is really difficult to deal with.

As he was pondering this, a fierce sword aura burst forth, heading straight for the back of the two-headed bear monster.

"Black Bear, take another sword strike from me."

Looking over, Song Qi saw a Taoist priest dressed in an apricot-yellow robe, holding a divination mirror, amidst the dim, eerie atmosphere. It was none other than his junior brother, Lin Jiugong.

Beside Lin Jiugong stood a middle-aged swordsman dressed in leopard skin; the sword energy he had just unleashed was from him.

"Well come."

Song Qi was secretly delighted. He changed his hand seals again, and the six human skin lanterns overlapped each other, transforming into a pillar of light that slammed directly down.
