Chapter 218 Calligraphy to Suppress the Demon

Chen Xu was a clever man. He kept walking around the platform, looking at the flaws in the Feng Shui formation in front of him.

Zhang Chen was also observing secretly in the crowd, looking at the Feng Shui formation in front of him, thinking about how to break it.

Time passed by little by little. For everyone present, it was a great torment. After all, the pressure brought by the curse was extremely great.

About three hours later, Chen Xu suddenly clapped his hands, his eyes showing a hint of excitement: "I know that the key to breaking the Feng Shui formation lies in the formation under the stone platform. As long as these eight key nodes are broken, the entire Feng Shui formation will naturally be broken."

The next moment, Chen Xu stretched out his hand, and two brushes appeared in his hand again. Then Chen Xu jumped into the pit with the brush in his hand, and kept brushing something back and forth.

The bottom of the black pool was drained away along with the black water flow, revealing the bottom of the pond below. It was seen that the bottom of the pond was actually made of jade, carved with mysterious runes and strange lines, which was obviously very unusual.

As Chen Xu moved the brush in his hand, the jade plate suddenly became dull, as if it was covered with a layer of dust. Moreover, the more he brushed, the blurred the lines on the jade plate became, and the runes on the jade plate became more and more hazy.

The brush seemed to have a strange corrosive power, constantly attacking the seal on the jade plate.

Zhang Chen looked cautious when he saw this scene. "Is the cursed demon god that was sealed away in the past about to appear? I wonder what that cursed demon god will look like."

At this time, a petal fluttered beside him and turned into the appearance of the Great Freedom Demon. The Great Freedom Demon turned into the size of a fist and whispered in Zhang Chen's ear: "Perhaps the trouble you are afraid of is not a trouble at all."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Chen didn't understand what he meant.

“First of all, since the Cursed Demon God was sealed back then, he must have fought with the Emperor before being sealed. Even if the Cursed Demon God was not killed by the Emperor, he must have been severely injured by the Emperor. Secondly, later on, the heaven and earth changed drastically and all things returned to the abyss. Although the mysterious power was preserved, the spiritual power condensed by the power of faith was wiped out by the inexplicable rules between heaven and earth. The Cursed Demon God himself had been severely injured by the Emperor, so how could he withstand the calamity of heaven and earth? His power might be preserved, but the spirituality condensed by the Cursed Demon God's faith might not be preserved after suffering a severe blow.” said the Great Freedom Demon.

Hearing the words of the Great Freedom Demon, Zhang Chen looked curious: "What happened in the world back then? How could it lead to the gods burying themselves?"

"It is said that a great terror has occurred in the spiritual world, which is the root cause of the gods burying themselves. All mysteries between heaven and earth cannot be avoided." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of curiosity when he heard this: "What about you? How did you survive?"

"I am a life that has mastered mysterious power, not a spirituality bred by mystery. Don't get me confused. The mystery that originally has no life, the spirituality gathered by the power of faith is called: sacred. And there is another kind of existence, which masters extraordinary power in the form of life. The two are naturally incomparable. However, this kind of existence is extremely rare. For example, me, the real dragon, and the peacock are all involved in the most mysterious destiny between heaven and earth." The Great Freedom Demon explained to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen was thoughtful after hearing what he said, but he did not believe the words of the Great Freedom Demon completely. This guy was simply a big trap. If he believed his words completely, he would fall into the trap at any time.

"What happened in the spiritual world?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I don't know. My memory is lost. It's like it's covered by a layer of fog. Even I can't recall it." There was a hint of sadness in the voice of Mahadeva.

"Will the spirit of the Cursed Demon God also dissipate?" Zhang Chen sighed softly upon hearing this, his voice full of emotion.

"Of course!" The Great Freedom Demon's voice sounded somewhat sad.

"By the way, where is your real body? Why haven't you come back yet? Do you want me to drag you back?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I actually hope you can pull me back. My real body is suppressed by a piece of calligraphy, and the exact location cannot be sensed. If you can pull my real body out for me, I would thank you so much." said the Great Freedom Demon.

When Zhang Chen thought of this, he activated the Soul-Hunting Chain skill directly. As he thought of it, he felt that the chain seemed to have crossed a long space and arrived at a strange place.

That place was empty, without any living creatures, only a black lotus flickered in the void. At this time, a line of calligraphy flickered on the black lotus, suppressing the power of the Great Freedom Demon.

The calligraphy flashed with a faint golden light, and the characters turned into chains that locked the black lotus.

At this moment, the black lotus seemed to sense Zhang Chen's will, and an intermittent voice came from the black lotus: "Save - me -"

Zhang Chen looked at the black lotus and the calligraphy with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He never thought that the Great Freedom Demon would end up like this.

As he thought about it, the next moment he saw Zhang Chen's soul leap into the black and white space, holding one end of the chain in one hand and pulling it violently.

However, the next moment Zhang Chen was stunned: "How could it be?"

The chain was stretched straight, but there was no way to pull it even a little bit.

Zhang Chen looked at his own Golden Finger page. He felt that the Golden Finger page needed to give him an explanation.

At this time, Zhang Chen's Gold Finger page did give an explanation:

[The other party's soul has been suppressed and cannot be summoned! Unless the host's power is stronger than the suppressing force, the other party's soul can be pulled over. ]

"Then doesn't my soul-snatching skill have a loophole? As long as the opponent is marked by me, he will be suppressed directly. Wouldn't I be dumbfounded?" Zhang Chen was immediately unhappy.

[The other party has been suppressed, and of course will no longer pose a threat to the host, please rest assured. 】

Gold Finger comforted Zhang Chen in a very humane way.

Zhang Chen frowned upon hearing this, thinking that his own golden finger seemed a little unreliable. As long as the soul was suppressed, it would be impossible to summon the soul, and then the other party would have too much space to control. But Zhang Chen thought carefully, if the other party's soul was suppressed, what threat could it pose to him?
As for the other party suppressing himself? Suppressed is suppressed, no matter who suppresses him, once suppressed, there is no escape. It's like a person hanging himself on a tree with a rope. He can either wait for someone to rescue him or be hanged to death. No matter whether he is hung by someone or hangs himself.

But Zhang Chen feels a little upset at this moment. Do you know why?

Because the Great Freedom Demon in front of him could not be considered the real Great Freedom Demon, but only one of the incarnations of the Great Freedom Demon, which was Xie Lingyun's inner demon. Xie Lingyun's inner demon was suppressed by the calligraphy, and it was unknown whether it would cause any big trouble.

"Can you rescue me?" The Great Freedom Demon looked at Zhang Chen eagerly.

"Don't act like a brat. You have countless incarnations and only one of them was suppressed. It's not as serious as you say." Zhang Chen scolded him angrily. At this time, Zhong Xiang approached Zhang Chen unnoticed, so Zhang Chen quickly put away the Great Freedom Demon.

"I say, have you noticed that something is not right?" At this time Zhong Xiang came to Zhang Chen's side, and his voice was so thin that it echoed in Zhang Chen's ears.

Zhang Chen retreated to the outermost part at this time, so as not to be affected by the cursed demon god when it was born later. Therefore, there was no one around, and he lowered his voice and replied: "What do you mean?"

"My Qilin heart is beating non-stop, constantly giving me crazy warnings. I always feel a little scared." Zhong Xiang was like a panicked bird, constantly looking around the stone caves.

"Nonsense, the cursed demon is about to come out, how can you not be scared?" Zhang Chen no longer concealed it at this point. You have to know that Zhong Xiang didn't know about the cursed demon. He just thought that breaking the seal could see if there was a way to dispel the curse, or let everyone be infected with the seal and everyone would be unlucky together.

Zhang Chen didn't tell Zhong Xiang a single word of what was written on the stone tablet.

"What cursed demon?" Zhong Xiang was immediately frightened when he heard this, with a hint of horror in his eyes. He knew that Zhang Chen was secretly trying to harm him.

Zhang Chen smiled when he heard this. He was not afraid that Zhong Xiang would stop the Cursed Demon from being born, so he told the story of the Cursed Demon with a smile.

"What!!! You said there is a cursed demon sealed under this pool of water? A demon from the ancient times?" Zhong Xiang was shocked when he heard this, his eyes full of horror: "Don't joke with me, this joke is not funny at all."

"I'm just reminding you in advance, lest you face the cursed demon and get defeated at the first sight, leaving me no chance to perform." Zhang Chen said with a smile.

He also has to rely on everyone to destroy the real body of the Cursed Demon God, so as to grasp the soul of the Cursed Demon God. What should he do if everyone is caught off guard and falls into the trap?
Once the cursed demon is born and kills everyone, these people will be blinded by the treasure and will be caught off guard and suffer heavy losses. He doesn't want this to happen.

Zhong Xiang became anxious upon hearing this: "That's an ancient god or demon. How can we resist it once it comes out? Everyone present will die."

"If they die, won't they still have families behind them? The families behind them will surely not sit idly by. At that time, the major families will use their background to suppress the luck. I don't believe that the cursed demon cannot be suppressed. Besides, the royal family of the Dasheng Dynasty has two twelfth-level mysteries. I don't believe that the other major families don't have trump cards." Zhang Chen's voice was full of certainty.

In order to break the curse, what does it matter even if everyone in front of me dies?
It's all worth it!

"No! These people are the elite of our Confucianism. If anything happens to them, it will definitely severely damage the foundation of Confucianism." Zhong Xiang wanted to step forward to stop him, but Zhang Chen smiled coldly: "Now these people have been blinded by immortality and treasures. Do you think you can persuade them? And do you think they can believe what you say? These people are highly respected outside. How could they allow themselves to become women and walk out with the bodies of donkeys, horses, and other beasts?"

"No matter what, I will stop you. I will never let your plot succeed." Zhong Xiang said, pushed through the crowd and stepped forward, grabbing Chen Xu who was brushing the brush:

"Stop it now, don't brush it anymore!"

Chen Xu paused when he heard this and looked at Zhong Xiang in confusion, wondering why Zhong Xiang would stop him.

"Zhong Xiang, what are you going to do again?" Liu Yang had now transformed from a woman into a man with a toad body and a human head. He frowned as he watched Zhong Xiang's actions.

"Everyone listen to me, this seal cannot be broken. Sealed inside this seal is the body of the ancient cursed demon god. Once the seal is broken and the cursed demon god is born, all of us will die here. So this restriction must never be broken again!" Zhong Xiang's voice was full of solemnity.

"Curse the Devil?"

Hearing this, everyone's heart moved, and a hint of hesitation appeared in their eyes.

"You said that there is a cursed demon sealed here, but what I saw was an ancient god and demon in the tree coffin, and the immortal willow tree. As long as we open the tomb, we can extend our lifespan by at least 20 years. You said that the cursed demon is sealed inside, do you have any evidence?" At this time, Chai Chuanxin stood up and questioned Zhong Xiang.

He, Chai Chuanxin, is also one of the geniuses of Confucianism. Although his status is not as impressive as Zhong Xiang, his aura is also quite good.

"Of course I have evidence..." Zhong Xiang didn't care about anything else at this time, and didn't care whether Zhang Chen would be exposed. Besides, he wanted to kill Zhang Chen, so how could he hide it for Zhang Chen? He hurriedly wanted to find Zhang Chen and ask him to testify, but Zhang Chen had already turned into flowing water and hid himself. How could he give Zhong Xiang a chance?

Zhong Xiang looked around but still couldn't see any trace of Zhang Chen. He thought Zhang Chen had used invisibility to hide himself. He stamped his feet in anger and said, "In short, we can't dig this tomb today."

“Zhong Xiang, you are not going to take all the fortune inside the tomb for yourself now that the seal has been broken, are you?” At this moment, the young prince Zhang Xiaohua spoke up, his voice full of doubt: “I tell you, if you want to take all the fortune inside the tomb for yourself, even if you have the heart of a Qilin, the powerful Yangshen can’t do anything to you, but my Pingbian Palace will never agree to it.”

"Your Highness, you are judging others by your own mean character. How could I, Zhong Xiang, be that kind of person?" Zhong Xiang looked unhappy when he heard this.

"Haha, you should know best in your heart whether you are that kind of person. In order to hide the entrance to the tomb, you even ignored the hatred of your own grandfather and let Zhang Chen escape. We should all know whether you are that kind of person." Chai Chuanxin said from the side.

Zhong Xiang was so angry that his body trembled when he heard this. He swept his eyes over everyone's gaze and saw that everyone was looking at him with doubt. Zhong Xiang stamped his feet in anger and looked at the great scholar Liu Lin expectantly: "Mr. Liu, don't you believe me either?"

"It doesn't matter whether I believe you or not. The key is that you have to produce evidence to make everyone believe it." Liu Lin smiled faintly and practiced Tai Chi.
