Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 164: Wood Dragon and Fire Snake, the Qi of the Rivers and Rivers

"After scouting, we've basically got the information on those demonic cult monsters."

In the Bodhi Courtyard of Tiangu Temple, De Zheng sits at the top, and the heads of the other three halls are all there.

Such a major event as cooperating with the governor's office to eliminate the evil people of the Ming Cult would naturally not be decided by the abbot with just a word.

Even if no one objects, they must still communicate with each other when it comes to dispatching disciples and mobilizing monk soldiers.

"Among the demons of the Ming Cult, the highest level is the Hall Master who has reached the Heavenly Ladder Realm."

"As for the fifth-level True Form warriors, whose emotions are insane and whose minds are in conflict with humans and demons, and who are unable to handle affairs normally, they are all placed in the army as commanders."

"In that demon camp, the highest-level cultivator is only one, General Liu Weizhi, and there are five altar masters at the Huangting realm."

"Zheng Changshi is leading the government team this time, just in case. Now that the city guards are out, it's not appropriate for us at Tiangu Temple to take over the reins."

"Yuanguang, Li Cunxiao"

The two men stepped forward upon hearing this, "Disciple is here."

"You two will follow the army to kill the demons. Above all else, preserving yourselves is paramount."

"In addition to this, we will send ten more disciples from the Dharma Academy who are at the Viscera Realm. The candidates will be selected by Dao Yuan."

De Zheng made all the arrangements, and everyone had no objections. This was not the first time something like this had happened.

However, Li Cunxiao had already broken through to the Huangting realm less than half a month after the Ullambana Festival ended.

As the several leaders were talking, they couldn't help but glance sideways, and many speculations arose in their minds.

The other party said that he was an apprentice from the Medicine King Academy, but when everyone went to inquire about him these days, they couldn't find him anywhere.

Finally, we learned that the other party was actually Decong, who was providing Qi-accumulating pills and was concentrating on practicing.

Such treatment is really shocking.

When did Decong, the weird and unkind man, start to care about the younger generation so much?
His eyes kept scanning De Zheng, Decong and Li Cunxiao, but unfortunately, he couldn't see any answers.

After the temporary meeting, Daoyuan went to select ten disciples to accompany him, while Li Cunxiao was led by Yuancan to collect armor and supplies.

For Huangting warriors, ordinary iron armor and leather armor are naturally better than nothing.

A blow packed with true energy is enough to break gold and jade, and ordinary things cannot withstand it.

The refining of magic treasures involves complicated steps, and the most important step is to draw out the evil spirit in the materials and create a demon.

From then on, as long as you continue to kill and feed on blood, you will naturally grow slowly.

If there is no weapon refiner, then the step of nurturing the demon fetus can be omitted. As long as the characteristics of the demon material can be properly utilized, the forged weapons and armor can actually be used.

Therefore, although it is impossible for everyone in Tiangu Temple to have a demon fetus, it is still possible to get some high-quality items tempered with demon blood.

Li Cunxiao received a piece of leather armor like this. Although it was called leather armor, it was actually made by cutting demon hide into pieces and then joining them together. The style was no different from ordinary lamellar armor.

It is covered with lacquer mixed with seven kinds of demon blood. After it is formed, it is very light, only about ten or twenty pounds, but its defense is so strong that it can even withstand a crossbow.

And because of the special paint surface, it will not be greatly affected by flames and corrosive venom in a short period of time.

But after the battle, you still need to replenish the paint, otherwise the effect will be reduced.

Although it is a bit troublesome to maintain, it is popular and its cost is much lower than that of magic treasures.

Li Cunxiao tried it briefly in the meditation room. If he had to give an evaluation, these special armors from Tiangu Temple were still better than the ones brought by the Cui brothers from the Weizhou vassal state.

But its strength is limited.

"It would be great if I could get a piece of armor of the magic treasure level someday."

After taking off his armor, Li Cunxiao wasted no time and took out the large medicine that looked like a small wooden horn.

In order to avoid attracting attention by mobilizing a large number of troops, Tiangu Temple and the Governor's Mansion planned a night attack.

But in fact, before dusk, everyone had to quietly leave the city in batches and march quickly after nightfall.

Therefore, after noon, the disciples of Tiangu Temple will set off.

Before setting off, Li Cunxiao had to learn how to use the burning wooden sword and then strengthen it so that it would be easier for him to harvest evil spirits when fighting against the Ming Cult.

Hold the small wooden horn in your hand, tilt your head slightly, point the tip of the horn to your mouth, and rub it with your fingers.

With a snap, a small piece of the wooden horn was broken off, and the emerald green liquid medicine slid into the mouth like a silk thread.

Unlike the strange taste of the tiger worm when he swallowed it for the first time, the medicine liquid of the hornwood dragon tasted unexpectedly good, even a bit like fermented fruit wine, sour and sweet, very refreshing.

But Li Cunxiao did not get distracted, but visualized the Jiaomu Dragon according to the diagram recorded in the Burning Wood Knife Secret Book.

The essence of the medicine flowed through the body without dispersing at all, as if the body was unable to digest it, and finally it seemed to flow into the Dantian.

As Li Cunxiao visualized, the large medicine that looked like a jade bead slightly fluctuated and stretched, as if changing from a pile of liquid to a solid.

The jade beads gradually turned into jade pillars, on which the outlines of scales and muscles gradually appeared, and the head, tail and limbs became distinct.

Li Cunxiao couldn't help but feel surprised as he "watched" the Jiaomu Jiao taking shape.

Every time he used seduction magic in the past, he suffered a lot. Not only did his body undergo various changes, but he also suffered from extremely strong negative emotional shocks mentally.

It is also thanks to the blessing of the vajra that I have been able to get to this day without any danger.

However, until this moment, the shape of the unicorn dragon had been almost completely outlined, but Li Cunxiao did not feel too uncomfortable.

Was it because this elixir came from the hands of the Eastern King? Or was it because after his celestial transformation, he had become pure and unobstructed, and his resistance to evil spirits and negative emotions had also increased?
Just as he was thinking about this, the red-scaled python at the feet of Nezha suddenly opened its eyes, stuck out its tongue and hissed, and the only hell of suffering in its body began to burn fiercely, making a chilling cry.

At the same time, Jiaomu Jiao also opened his eyes, exuding a ferocious look, and turned his head to fight directly with the red-scaled python!

Li Cunxiao felt a pain in his chest and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Fortunately, the vajra emitted light at the right time, and the original Nezha frowned, and the giant python under his feet stopped attacking.

The Jiaomu Jiao also seemed to be frightened. It kept circling and breathing in blood. Soon, a soft wood-attributed true energy spread throughout its body.

Li Cunxiao couldn't help but sigh. He probably knew why Buddhism and Taoism could not be practiced at the same time.

The method of using the Lord to control the demons can certainly enhance the strength of the warriors and consolidate the foundation, but with each additional demon, the risk of losing control will of course increase.

Especially the demons in the Huangting realm, which are not comparable to those in the Zangfu realm. When they fight with each other, they inhale and exhale blood and transform it into true energy. If it is not controlled, the warrior's body can be turned into ruins.

This is also why Buddhism and Taoism cannot be practiced together, because the demons and systems of the two are different.

For example, Nezha himself can easily differentiate into Yakshas, ​​Rakshasas, Poison Dragons, and Asuras. Since they are all differentiations of the original demonic nature, they are not prone to conflict.

As for the Jiaomu Jiao, it is not a differentiation of the original demonic nature, but a demon summoned again with the demon-luring potion. It is okay when it is weak, but once it becomes strong, it will inevitably compete with Nezha for the position.

Now the current situation of the two has begun to emerge.

However, Li Cunxiao did not intend to take the risk of trying to support two original bodies at this time, so the Jiaomu Jiao could not exist independently, but had to become a part of Nezha's retinue.

With a thought in his mind, the Vajra's suppression of both sides loosened slightly, and the two immediately showed signs of fighting again.

Li Cunxiao was not in a hurry. When the two sides were about to collide, he tightened his grip again.

Tightening and relaxing like this, constantly testing the limits of the combination of the two.

A full quarter of an hour passed, and by then, the scarlet-scaled python and the single-horned azure dragon had become entangled, now being trampled under the feet of the original Nezha. "Now, Vajra, break!"

The cool air flowed and turned into sweet rain falling into the body of the unicorn dragon.

In an instant, it was as if spring had returned to the earth. The dragon's body turned into wood, and roots, branches, leaves and even flowers grew from each section of its body.

The picture is a little strange, but also has a strange vitality.

Li Cunxiao felt blessed and removed the suppression of the vajra.

However, this time, the fire snake and the wood dragon did not cause trouble again.

It was just that in the subtle details, the flowers and leaves grew and were swallowed by the flames. Wisps of smoke swirled and after being inhaled by the master, the Yama Qi exhaled was surprisingly slightly different.

As the golden light on the vajra turned into gold fragments and dissipated, the body of the wooden dragon continued to grow, and the fire snake entangled with it also thrived together.

The two are unified in their struggle and maintain a delicate balance.

Wood can produce fire, and fire can destroy wood without damaging its roots.

In this cycle, the true energy in the body is like a good rain, and the water level rises.

Obviously, Li Cunxiao had just opened up two of his main meridians of cultivation, but the true energy in his body continued to increase until it doubled and finally stopped.

In other words, although he is now just a beginner in Huangting, he actually already possesses the amount of true qi equivalent to the Huangting minor success stage!

If the true energy in his body was just a small stream that gave birth to loaches and shrimps before, it is now a river that can accommodate schools of fish!

"Ah~~"

The Yanmo Qi flowed through his body, and the numbing pleasure of his scalp surged into his heart again. Li Cunxiao couldn't help but cry out in comfort.

After the Wood Dragon and the Fire Snake reached a balance, he no longer needed to distract himself to suppress them. His true energy naturally flowed endlessly, and his efficiency more than doubled compared to before.
After that, when practicing or fighting against enemies, your efficiency will be greatly improved.

"As for this Burning Wood Blade Qi..."

Li Cunxiao glanced and saw a tree as thick as a bowl next to the Zen room.

In the middle of summer, everything is green and lush, and the cicadas chirping in the trees are quite noisy.

With a thought in his mind, the special true energy of the Burning Wood Knife was sent from his dantian to his fingertips, gently poking the tree trunk.

A horrifying scene appeared.

There was no wound on the tree trunk, but a grayish-white color began to spread around with the finger as the center.

Where the grayish-white color spread, the moisture in the tree trunks quickly evaporated, the branches and leaves became withered, the emerald green turned into a burnt yellow, and finally crumbled into powder.

Even though Li Cunxiao withdrew his hand in time, half of the trunk of the tree was still burnt and gray, with leaves scattered all over the ground, while the other half was still green and lush, which was extremely weird.

Aggressive. Aggressive.
The bodies of cicadas fell all over the ground. Li Cunxiao picked up one curiously and spread it out in his hand. He found that it looked like it had been fried in a frying pan, and was burnt and crispy.

With a gentle pinch, it turned into a pile of dregs, and the inside seemed hollow.

"so smart?"

I was secretly surprised, but then I thought, this is after all used on inanimate objects, and the trees and cicadas will not fight back.

Huangting warriors all have true qi to protect themselves, so the effect of the burning wooden sword will definitely not be what it is now.

However, being able to attach the burning wood knife to the fire gun and use it is equivalent to using two martial arts at the same time, which greatly increases the explosive power.

"It's about actively creating this kind of true energy, which consumes quite a bit of energy. After all, double the amount of martial arts means double the energy consumption."

"Usually, it's better to use the Jiaomu Jiao as a power bank for my true qi."

Li Cunxiao pondered and saw that the time was almost up, so he put on his leather armor and a monk's robe and met Yuanguang.

This time, the Dharma Inner Court also selected ten disciples at the Zangfu realm, all of whom are the best among their peers.

Even if Yuanguang and Zheng Yanchang lead the team, they are still going to the battlefield. Swords and knives have no mercy. Those who dare to come are brave and strong.

However, after seeing Li Cunxiao, these people all showed awe.

Even though the other party had never been to Damo Temple, the story of Li Cunxiao defeating Puning, the true disciple of Huishan Temple, had already spread.

Now, Huang Ting is the only one sent by Tiangu Temple in this operation, and everyone can't help but think more about it.

"I am considered a top figure."

Li Cunxiao just smiled when he saw this, and his attention was all on Yuanguang.

This time, will we have the chance to see the true form of Vajra Vidyaraja?

"General Liu, Hall Master Cao has sent someone."

Zhang Pu stood three steps away from the big tent and reported carefully.

After hearing this, the moans in the tent gradually became faster and louder, and finally returned to calm.

This time, Liu Weizhi finally put on a white coat and walked out with his pants held up.

"You're so slow. If you don't come soon, I'll take those boys and girls for myself."

"Anyway, I'm in a state of meditation now. If I take one more step, I'll be out of it and can reach the ladder to heaven."

"We're all contributing to the church, so why differentiate between you and me? Isn't that right?"

Zhang Pu was speechless and cursed himself to death in his heart.

I was originally somewhat happy when I escaped, but who would have thought that these few days with Liu Weizhi would be even more difficult than the days of hiding in the city.

Facing the two opponents, Tiangu Temple and the Governor's Office, although he would die if he failed, there would always be an explanation, either the matter would be exposed or he would be inferior in skills.

However, these Ming generals are moody, indulge in lust, and do everything according to their mood.

Although no one was killed, being around them was like having a tiger sleeping next to your pillow. It was unreasonable and unpredictable, and you could be devoured without leaving a bone at any time.

This is actually the characteristic of a true-form warrior, with two minds competing with each other, which is revealed outwardly, sometimes appearing as a human, sometimes as a demon.

Zhang Pu didn't even dare to breathe as he accompanied Liu Weizhi to meet the envoy sent by Cao Zhenghao.

The other party was just a leader of the Huangting realm. He was also very cautious when he saw Liu Weizhi and proposed to take this group of boys and girls away.

Liu Weizhi impatiently asked someone to do it, and then urged the other party to ask Master Cao when he would start the rebellion.

Being stuck here every day, he felt very uncomfortable and it was hard to suppress his evil thoughts.

"Another half-human, half-demon madman, a demon from the demonic cult, unwilling to diligently cultivate himself, and only loves evil ways."

The fat monk walked out of the tent at some point, snorted coldly, and a fire snake shot out from his palm.

"This is the last remnant, huh?"

In the distance, smoke and dust rose into the sky, and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard faintly on the ground, as if an army was marching towards this place.

The huge commotion naturally aroused the vigilance of the Ming Cult. The people on the watchtower were putting up awnings, and when they saw the flying flags clearly, their faces suddenly changed:

“The government troops are coming!!!”
