Dongxuan Spiritual Realm

Chapter 65 Shen Gong Sect

In the "Lingbao Sutra for Saving People", the thirteenth volume is "The Method for Saving the Gods by the Power of Incense and Fire", which talks about saving all ghosts and gods who survive by the power of incense and fire.

"There are ghosts in the world. Some of them may have done good deeds for themselves or have been virtuous to others during their lifetime. After their death, many people offer incense and sacrifices to them. Although they are called gods, they are actually ghosts. They are nominally worshipped with incense and sacrifices, blessed by the power of vows, and have achieved the Dharma body, but in reality they are relying on other people's external objects to exist between heaven and earth, just to survive..."

"As time goes by, the years pass. Believers may die of old age and scatter, or their altars and temples may be destroyed by those who believe in other gods, or their evil deeds may trigger a heavenly calamity. Ultimately, they will be reduced to ashes and smoke. They cannot live forever and achieve the path of immortality that is indestructible for all time."

This is the definition of this type of "incense god" in the scriptures, and it also lists the names of several widely known gods that have been worshipped for thousands of years.

Yang Qisheng also knew about some of these gods when he was at home. His mother Zhao Ruolan even went to burn incense and fulfill her wishes.

But Yang Qisheng did not feel that they had any magical powers. Although believers said there were many miracles, they were just stories and there was no real evidence.

Yang Qisheng had never heard of the "Emperor of Wind and Fire" that Bao Wancheng mentioned. He was very interested in the Taoist magic of the Shengong School, so he started chatting with them enthusiastically.

Each branch of the Shengong sect has its own gods to worship. Some are immortal spirits with long-standing spiritual powers, some are fierce ghosts that have been connected with the sect along the way, and some are their own deceased ancestors.

The main god worshipped in Huailing Temple is called "Emperor Fenghuo", who was a sword immortal who lived thousands of years ago.

"The Great Emperor has achieved great success in his studies of Taoism, mastered the immortal arts, and opened up the Lingkong Immortal Realm. His magical powers are boundless, and he has hundreds of millions of followers..."

Bao Wancheng praised the main god of his own faith to great heights, as if he were the head of the three realms and the supreme being of the heavens.

Yang Qisheng removed all the superficial words of praise in his mind and restored the truth.

The Wind and Fire Emperor should be a side-door sword immortal who could not realize the great truth and attain an indestructible body, and eventually died.

When he was alive, he must have arranged a retreat for himself and accumulated a lot of good deeds. After his death, his disciples built a temple for him and promoted him, and he thus entered the path of incense and gods.

But after all, he was also a serious sword immortal during his lifetime, and therefore was revered as the main god of their lineage.

In addition to him, Huailing Temple also enshrines three household gods in the temple, all of whom are military generals from the previous dynasty. One wields a broadsword, one wields a spear, and the other wields a phoenix-wing drill.

In addition, there are more than a dozen guardian gods enshrined in the side hall, including foxes, snakes, bears, pigs, and their ancestors who died of natural causes in the past.

The Shengong Sect has a long history. Within a hundred years of the Universal Ceremony, they had died down and were only circulated in remote mountainous areas.

Until now, when the Universal Ceremony has become ineffective, they have returned to the human world, bought land to build temples, and reopened the Taoist temples to attract believers.

When the ancient tomb was shaken by an earthquake, the people of Wanliu Village were cursed because they took the burial objects. Finally, they asked a necromancer to help them find the clues.

The snake god worshipped by the Lingpo is one of the guardian gods of Huailing Temple.

Bao Wancheng held a lotus lantern in his hand and silently chanted the Wind and Fire Mantra, asking the Wind and Fire Emperor to guide him in the right direction.

The lotus lantern seemed to be blown by the wind. First, the flame changed color to blue-purple, and stretched forward more than a foot long.

Bao Wancheng's four young disciples looked at Yang Qisheng and the others proudly, took the lead and walked in front, clearing the way in the direction indicated by the flames.

Yang Qisheng and his group followed them, and as they walked, Yang Qisheng discovered something was wrong.

This is not the location of the demon corpse's true body that he had calculated before!
He confirmed with Bao Wancheng again and again: "Did your Wind and Fire Emperor really tell you that the place we are going to now is where the true bodies of the two demon corpses are?"

"It's absolutely true." Bao Wancheng said with certainty, "The emperor can't be wrong."

Seeing Yang Qisheng questioning their own beliefs, his fellow disciples were very unhappy: "If you don't want to believe it, then we should just go our separate ways. Anyway, I don't care who kills the demon corpse, it's all for the people to get rid of harm!"

After hearing this, Yang Qisheng didn't feel anything. He was more worried that Pei Lingyu would have a fit.

However, Pei Lingyu didn't take these people seriously at all, and naturally didn't take what they said to heart. Pei Lingyu was following Yang Qisheng, and he didn't care about what these people said at all, as if he didn't hear it.

Yang Qisheng hesitated for a moment, but decided to follow Shengong and the others.

He was very curious about where the Wind and Fire Emperor would lead them, and he also wanted to see the strength of the main god of the Divine Power Sect.

They walked through a long passage, climbed up and down the slope, turned left and right, broke through several walls along the way, and finally came to the outside of a large tomb chamber.

The flame on the lotus lantern turned red, and its shape returned to normal, but it kept flickering.

"The Emperor has already pointed out that the true form of the demon corpse is inside!"

Bao Wancheng put away the lotus and shouted, "Divine Art disciples, prepare!"

The three old men and four young men beside him responded in unison, took stances, and raised their weapons.

"The sun and the moon both hang in the sky, illuminating the universe. General Tiangong protects the people. The phoenix spreads its wings to slay the evil spirits. Divine power is poured into the crown and the heavenly wheel is turned!"

"With divine power, he can suppress the nine worlds. He is a general who protects the people. He slays evil spirits wherever his blade strikes. His divine power can turn the human wheel!"

"The Black Evil rides the wind out of the Heavenly Gate, the General Earth God protects the people, the long spear is like a dragon to slay the evil demons, and the divine power is poured onto the head to turn the Earth Wheel!" The three old men each performed a few moves and shouted loud slogans, then held the weapon in their left hand, made hand gestures with their right hand, stomped their right foot on the ground, and began to chant the spell quickly and quietly.

The four young men acted in the same manner as them, but they did not shout slogans, used different weapons, prayed to different gods, and chanted different incantations.

Bao Wancheng also drew out his sword, stepped on the Gang fighting step, and performed a series of sword techniques on the spot. He held the long sword upside down and stood solemnly.

The fourth young master kowtowed on one knee: "This little god pays homage to the Wind and Fire Emperor!"

Bao Wancheng said: "The demon's true form is in front of us. Quickly break through the door and get rid of it!"

"We will obey the order!" The four of them agreed in unison, somersaulted twice, and turned around.

One of them held two copper rings in his hands, shouted loudly, raised his hand and hit them. The copper rings turned into two wheels of golden light, spinning out and hitting the stone gate hard.

There were restrictions of the Three Corpses Daoist Law on the stone gate, and when it was attacked, a emerald green light immediately emerged.

The double circles failed to damage the stone gate and were repelled by the green light, sending it flying back.

The young man reached out to catch the copper ring, somersaulted again, and then roared and hit out again.

This time, the other three young men also exerted their strength at the same time, throwing out iron rods, copper hammers, and axes.

The weapons of the four groups bombarded the stone gate at the same time. Yang Qisheng saw the images of four kinds of demon gods, fox, snake, bear and pig, faintly appearing behind the four of them.

The green light on the stone gate appeared again, but it was ultimately no match for the combined attack of the four demon gods. The green light dissipated, and the tall stone gate shattered as if blown open by gunpowder, with rubble rolling and smoke and dust billowing.

Four young men took the lead, armed with weapons, and rushed into the tomb first.

Next came the three elders, with solemn faces, holding the Phoenix Wing Gilded Halberd, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and the Water-Curved Snake Spear in their fingers and walking in square steps.

Bao Wancheng still walked at the end with his sword in hand.

Pei Lingyu sneered, and Liu Hanzhang waved his hand to signal him to control his lust and not make enemies with others easily.

Yang Qisheng was very curious. This shouldn't be the real place where the two demon corpses were kept. But once the stone gate was broken, a strong evil spirit immediately surged out like a tide. He was the first to walk in.

The three of them were in front, and Xue Yan, Pei Qifeng and Jing Han followed behind and also walked in.

This tomb chamber was many times larger than the two previously seen. It was filled with carved beams and painted rafters, and was decorated with gold and silver, just like an emperor's palace.

On the third step, there is a golden dragon throne. Sitting on the chair is a demon corpse wearing a crown and a dragon robe. It is Chu Hanfeng!
On the left side of the dragon throne, there is another phoenix throne also made of gold. On it is also sitting a demon corpse wearing the queen's clothes. It is Shi Wenyan!

On the right side of Chu Hanfeng stood a tall general, also a demon corpse, holding a dark Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, also Chu Hanfeng!

"How could this be..." Even Liu Hanzhang was extremely surprised. "How could there be so many demon corpses?"

“Daddy!” Jing Han screamed, pointing at the demon corpse general holding a big knife, “That’s my daddy!”

Yang Qisheng looked at them intently and quickly figured out what was going on: "These are not the true bodies of the demon corpses, they are all their three corpse incarnations!"

It turns out that in addition to their own hidden true bodies, they each have two incarnations.

Chu Hanfeng is the incarnation of the emperor and the incarnation of a general. Previously, his incarnation of a general was broken up by Yang Qisheng and Liu Hanzhang, but they failed to kill him, so he came back here and reappeared.

The Fang Tian Hua Ji he held last time was the one he used during his lifetime, and the Qing Long Yan Yue Dao he held this time was the one used by his enemy. Both were peerless evil weapons that had killed countless people and were full of murderous aura.

Shi Wenyan's two incarnations are the newlywed incarnation of the saint and the incarnation of the queen mother. After being defeated, the newlywed incarnation failed to escape and was destroyed by Pei Lingyu using the Yuntian Xuanzhu Mirror. Now only the queen incarnation is left.

Pei Lingyu said: "Since they are all fake, let's go find their true bodies."

Yang Qisheng looked at the members of the Divine Power Sect who had already started fighting. "Even if their true bodies are destroyed, they will only have one avatar left. They can be reborn and reborn in the future. Let's destroy these avatars first, and then deal with their true bodies."

Pei Lingyu didn't say anything, and didn't comment. He just watched quietly as the people from the Shengong Sect fought with the three demon corpses.

They were really fighting, but unlike ordinary monks, they all held weapons and engaged in close combat.

Swords and spears were raised, sticks and swords clashed, and the fight was very fierce.

Of course, there were also many spells mixed in during this period.

For example, Bao Wancheng asked for the magical blessing of Emperor Fenghuo. Emperor Fenghuo was originally a sword immortal, so he raised the sword in the air and flew to chop down the demon corpse emperor on the dragon throne.

The Demon Corpse Emperor also had a Panlong Sword in his hand, which he raised in the air and fought with it. The two swords entangled with each other, and sparks flew.

The Demon Corpse Queen also summoned a Mingfeng Sword and joined the battle, joining forces with the Demon Corpse Emperor.
