Yinshan Record

Chapter 69 No Shortage of Demons
Su Che had also seen it in the "Records of the Mysterious Center" that everything in this world has its owner.

Under the bright sunshine, the nine layers of celestial energy are the dwelling place of all living beings.

If it were my past life, most living beings, whether demons, humans, flowers, birds, fish, insects, etc., would live in this world within the atmosphere.

Beyond the nine layers of celestial energy lies the territory of extraterrestrial demons.

These heretical demons are formless and intangible, wandering in the vast emptiness, each possessing supernatural powers and wondrous abilities.

The demonic sects of this world evolved from the laws of the extraterrestrial demons.

Taoist practice takes Heaven and Earth as a mirror and the laws of Heaven and Earth as a standard. It seeks nothing from Heaven and Earth, but is contained within them.

There are differences and separations between the two.

The demon race cultivates by taking the primordial chaos as their method, vying for heaven and earth, and will not stop until they have stolen all the secrets of heaven.

As for the extraterrestrial demons, they feed on all cultivators in the world, using others to cultivate themselves, harming others for their own benefit, and corrupting one person to achieve that person's accomplishment.

Beyond the Nine Heavens, countless demon races wage war against each other. Cultivators in some worlds may even be overrun by the demons, and billions of lives may be reduced to ashes.

According to the "Records of the Mysterious Realm," the demonic cultivators of this world are divided into two factions. One faction is called the Northern Demonic Sect, residing in the Arctic region. The other faction is called the Great Wilderness Demonic Cult, located south of the South Sea.

Both venerate a supreme being known as the Supreme Demon King of the Primordial Heaven, who is called the Great Transformation of the Heavens.

This one is the progenitor of the Boundless Extraterrestrial Demons, who has manifested in countless forms and is one of the few in the entire universe who can be counted on one hand.

The Demonic Sect acts in extreme ways and uses unpredictable methods, yet it always adheres to the principle of harming others for its own benefit.

If the methods left behind by Xuanshan were those of the Demonic Sect, Su Che couldn't help but start to wonder what the old lion's scheme was all about.

It couldn't possibly be for the benefit of the common people.

Since the matter involved the Demonic Sect, everyone's faces changed color.

"Therefore, we should take a closer look at what kind of conspiracy is hidden here."

The uncertainty of the future only fueled Chu Yuan's courage.

Aside from the sword in their hand, sword cultivators have no other attachments and are the most courageous and diligent. If they lose their courage upon hearing about the treacherous demons ahead, they might as well shave their heads and become monks, where they can hide their heads and remain in their shells.

“I urgently need money recently, so I definitely have to explore this large tomb.”

Old Song, the coffin shop owner, coughed twice, but his eyes kept glancing at "Yue Buqun".

This Mysterious Netherworld True Pill is really too hot to handle.

"Then let's set off immediately." Lin Jiugong looked at the villages on both sides: "I will arrange for two disciples to lead the people to safety..."

As he spoke, Master Lin immediately began making arrangements.

"Yuan Caiyi" stared at "Yue Buqun", while "Yue Buqun" frowned as he looked at the distant Xuan Mountain shrouded in demonic miasma.

The little fox must have already figured out the key to this place, which is why it arranged for Old Man Song to explore the great tomb in Xuan Mountain.

But where is this cheap wife? Why hasn't she shown up yet?
Su Che suddenly began to worry about the safety of Qingqiu.

Yuan Caiyi kept looking at Su Che.

Wuzhiqi was also waiting for Qingqiu, but whether his companions from Zhongshan Society would return was not within his consideration.

The key point is this "Six Harmonies Azure Dragon" in front of us.

In the Zhongshan Society, both Gu She and Su Nu were quite interested in the Six Harmonies Azure Dragon. If they could get this slick-haired young man, what benefits could they gain?
My luck is high today; Heaven wants me to make a fortune.

Wuzhiqi chuckled and awkwardly stepped forward.

"Young Master Yue, I greet you."

"Miss Yuan."

Su Che looked at the Qingwang Valley disciple whose eyes seemed a bit off, and for a moment he had no idea what kind of trick this guy was up to.

"We're going down into the tomb. I wonder what Young Master Yue's plans are?"

Yuan Caiyi's words immediately drew the attention of those around her.

This is true.

The ascetic Qin Ben and the swordsman Chu Yuan were both chivalrous figures invited by Lin Jiugong to help him fight.

Song Qi and his two henchmen were scoundrels who came to dig up graves and make illicit profits.

Yue Buqun, the swordsman who didn't carry a sword, caught up with them halfway.

What are Yue Buqun's plans?
"As the sage said, 'One should not shirk one's duty.'" Su Che clasped his hands and said, "Since we have caught up, I will naturally go with you."

Yuan Caiyi was secretly delighted, just afraid that you wouldn't come. "Brother Buqun, if you have the chance, you can come and visit our Yuyang Mountain."

Chu Yuan looked at Yue Buqun and felt a certain fondness for him.

“Every year on the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, my Yuyang Mountain opens its gates to recruit disciples. If Brother Yue is willing to come, I, Chu, will ask my master for a letter of introduction, and I guarantee that you will be accepted into the sect.”

"Yes, thank you very much, Brother Chu. I will definitely visit you when I have the chance."

Su Che replied verbally.

Since they had already become Huang Tiandao's nominal disciples, there was indeed a theoretical possibility that they could be formally accepted into another sect.

Theory is one thing, theory is another.

If he were to truly switch allegiance, not to mention what would happen to Yu Lizi's side, the elders of the Su family would probably not forgive him.

Moreover, what kind of mountain gate is Yuyang Mountain?
Never heard of it.

Yu Lizi took genuine care of herself.

Chu Yuan casually bestowed the title of disciple upon someone, which probably isn't very valuable. How can it compare to Teacher Wei?
Not only did they send him the "Secret Manual of the Yin Heaven of King Zhou," but they also tested his progress in cultivation.

Now that the decision had been made, Lin Jiugong instructed two disciples to lead the villagers of Niushou Village to flee.

The area is near Xuan Mountain, and the local people are aware of the rampant monsters. Having witnessed the scene of the demonic miasma covering the sky, they immediately mobilized, packed their things, and set off.

The group, with the elderly and children in tow, were led by Wencai and Qiusheng straight towards Shanyin County.

As he left, several young women and married women couldn't help but stare at Su Che, making the Third Young Master Su wonder if his clothes were too flashy.

Song Qi used his magic to summon two green lamps, dispelling the surrounding evil atmosphere and miasma.

Chu Yuan carried a long sword on his back and walked at the front, followed by Su Che and Yuan Caiyi.

Lin Jiugong and Qin Ben were at the very back, while the gray-clad dwarf and the honest man Ma Shoude, who had the lowest cultivation levels, were protected in the middle.

Once you leave the village, all you see are crooked paths, overgrown with weeds and lined with trees.

Beneath the miasma, a faint, eerie green hue appeared on the vegetation.

The clouds and mist obscured the view, and Su Che couldn't tell what time it was.

Song Qi didn't know what method he used, but he was able to pinpoint the direction of the great tomb amidst this miasma and evil atmosphere.

Chu Yuan followed behind him, unleashing a feint of sword energy to clear a path.

“I say, Mr. Song,” Yuan Caiyi said from behind, “you and your junior brother are quite different.”

Song Qi stopped, seemingly trying to discern the path ahead.

"Oh, Miss Yuan, what advice do you have for me?"

"Master Lin is an honest man, but you have a bit of a rough and unrefined air about you."

"The dragon has nine sons, each different from the others; there should be distinctions."

"But isn't digging up graves something that's already beyond the realm of the nine sons of the dragon?"

Song Qi took out a silver needle from his sleeve and pricked his left middle finger, from which a drop of blood appeared.

He flicked the blood droplet away and muttered a word.

"Hmph, Miss Yuan, are you new to the ways of the world?"

Song Qi seemed to have identified the direction using this technique.

He stepped forward and said, "I explored this large tomb a few years ago. In terms of feng shui, it has a name called 'Ox Sleeping Ground'."

“The Niushou Mountain’s sleeping place is located very deep inside the mountain. The powerful and noble people of the previous dynasty who built this large tomb mobilized thousands of people’s labor to finally build this tomb in the mountain.”

"After opening the tomb door, it was full of skeletons, more than a hundred complete skulls. I was young then and had never seen much suffering in the world. My heart was cold and my neck was numb, as if I had fallen into an ice cave."

"These were the craftsmen who built the tomb back then. They served their master like cattle and horses in life, and in the end, they were to be buried in the tomb. These people were extravagant and debauched in life, treating human life like dirt. And after death, they expect others to respect their corpses?"

"They don't even care about human lives."

Song Qi turned his head and glanced back.

"Therefore, we Taoists advocate simple burials to nurture the virtue of Heaven and Earth. Heaven and Earth don't care about these things; they are just advising those ignorant mortals."

"When ordinary people do evil, demons will follow."
