Youbao Chapter 19: Earth-nourishing Corpse Pill (8)
I thought about it again...The most important thing now is how I should help the old Taoist priest.
The Corpse King's speed was getting faster and faster, and its movements were becoming smoother and smoother. At first, it would hit the Taoist priest's fire talisman every time, but now, it has dodged it twice.
If this continues, I'm dead.
At this moment, what I had been worried about happened.
The man standing under the sword finally moved. He stretched out his hand and grabbed something, as if he wanted to tear it apart. As he moved, the fire talisman that the old Taoist priest had just released dissipated with a puff.
The Corpse King took this opportunity to suddenly approach, and the gray-white corpse gas rushed straight to the old Taoist's face. At the same time, it stabbed the old Taoist's chest with both hands. If the pair of gray-white sharp corpse claws were to pierce this, with the power of the Corpse King, it would definitely be able to tear the old Taoist like bread.
However, to everyone's surprise, a golden light suddenly appeared in front of the old Taoist priest. Like a barrier, the corpse's qi dissipated with a squeak, and the corpse's claws were blocked for a blink of an eye.
In just this instant, the old Taoist twisted his body, bypassed the Corpse King, and rushed straight for the Demon-Subduing Sword.
Next to my ears, I also heard his voice: Use your spiritual blood to illuminate the spirit gathering talisman, place the jade on your chest, and recite with me!
Five elements of heaven and earth!
I subconsciously followed the old Taoist priest's voice: Five Elements of Heaven and Earth!
Spiritual blood connects to the underworld!
Spiritual blood connects to the underworld...
The law! The Ten Kings of the Palace of Heaven! The divine soldiers are as urgent as the law! !
The law! The Ten Kings of the Palace of Heaven! The divine soldiers are as urgent as the law! !
The Underworld Jade instantly became as cold as a thousand-year-old ice. A dark light shot out from the jade, and a vortex appeared before his eyes. Then, a huge figure stepped out of the vortex.
The ten-foot-tall figure walked out of the vortex step by step. The black vortex kept spinning, so deep that it seemed to take away people's souls. I only took one look at it, and my head felt dizzy, and my soul was about to rush out.
There was no dazzling light, and everything was normal. But even a blind person could feel the heavy pressure from the tall figure in front of him.
God’s power is like a prison, and God’s grace is like the ocean.
The Wheel King is the King of Hell in the Ten Courts of Hell. He is neither a god nor an immortal, but he possesses power and majesty that the legendary gods and immortals cannot achieve.
Because Yama has control over life and death, if he wants you to die at three o'clock in the morning, you won't survive until five o'clock.
Is there really a King of Hell in this world?
Looking at the figure in front of me who stepped out of the whirlpool and stood in the right place, as majestic as Mount Tai, I was a little dazed and a little scared.
Although he was standing right in front of me, only three meters away, I couldn't see his figure and face clearly.
It was as if there was an invisible barrier in front of him, blocking my gaze and making it impossible to see through.
This is what the old Taoist priest said about the Dharma image of the King of the Ten Palaces, like a black hole that can suck away everything, and all around him is darkness. This is a darkness that shakes the soul, which cannot be illuminated, let alone looked at directly.
I don't need to say anything more. The underground ghosts that are constantly emerging not far away have already attracted his attention.
I can't tell whether this is the real King of Hell or an illusion created by gathering spiritual power through Taoist magic.
But he turned around under my gaze and walked forward step by step towards the ancient battlefield of Changping. The black vortex floating in the air dissipated silently, and suddenly appeared behind him, still spinning continuously.
At this time, the old Taoist priest had just pounced to within two meters of the Demon-Subduing Sword. He could grab the Demon-Subduing Sword in the next second. But the man who had been standing by the Demon-Subduing Sword raised his right hand into a claw. The Demon-Subduing Sword trembled in the air and suddenly fell.
The old Taoist priest slapped his chest hard, and a blood mist spurted out of his mouth. He put his hand together and pointed the sword, waving it in the air, drawing a blood symbol that flashed red light.
The Five Elements Method, the talisman points the way, and the blood light kills the evil! The old Taoist priest shouted, and the blood talisman turned into a dark red beam of light, rushing straight towards the man. There were also some green lights that appeared and disappeared from time to time, like stars.
This magic seemed gorgeous, but it made the figure under the sword dodge in panic as if he had seen a ghost, and he was no longer as calm as before.
The King of the Ten Palaces was still walking at a leisurely pace, but he was tall and one step was equivalent to three or four steps of an ordinary person. In the blink of an eye, he had reached the outer edge of the black fog.
The corpse king, who had been arrogantly chasing the old Taoist priest, was like a wolf encountering a lion. The several distorted human faces on his chest let out rapid screams and kept retreating.
The Wheel King did not focus his attention on the Corpse King. He was like an unconscious traveler walking straight ahead with no intention of stopping.
However, the death energy generated by the underground ghosts was sucked into the vortex behind him. The ghosts that were originally visible also knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation, not daring to look up. Since the Wheel King passed by, he was also sucked into the vortex and disappeared.
As more and more dead air and ghosts were sucked in, the vortex's rotation speed became faster and faster, and the suction force also increased a lot. The dead air and ghosts not far away were all pulled over and sent into the vortex.
If the Wheel King is given some time, he should be able to suppress all the death energy and ghosts and send them into reincarnation.
The figure dodged by the old Taoist priest's blood talisman had just stood still when he heard a "whoosh" sound in the air. From a distance, I saw the old Taoist priest grab the falling demon sword, slap it with his hand, and then throw it out. It was as fast as lightning, leaving no time for people to react.
The figure wanted to jump up and grab the Demon-Subduing Sword, but the old Taoist priest kicked him down from mid-air, forcing him to turn around and dodge.
The Demon-Subduing Sword flew through the air at an extremely fast speed , and as I watched in amazement, it actually pierced the Wheel King's chest.
Is this old Taoist priest so seriously injured? What kind of look is that? Why is he stabbing his own people?
The old Taoist priest forced the enemy back with one kick, landed on the ground, pinched his hands together with magic formula, and shouted with all his strength: Five Spirits Magic, the magic chaos in heaven and earth, explode!
The chest and back of the Wheel King, with the Demon-Subduing Sword as the center, suddenly lit up with golden light. The golden light was very weak at first, but it became dazzling in the blink of an eye.
Without any sound, the golden light instantly spread across the entire world, enveloping all directions. The light was too dazzling, and I was so excited that tears streamed down my face after just one look.
Before I closed my eyes, I saw the old Taoist priest being hit on the back by the man, and he fell to the ground like a dead tree without a sound.
After a long time, when I opened my eyes, the golden light in the sky had disappeared.
The black fog in front of him dissipated, and the wilderness returned. The human figure, the corpse king, and the wheel king all disappeared.
I didn't hesitate any longer and ran over there, and finally saw the old Taoist lying on the ground.
I quickly ran over and helped him up. The old Taoist priest's face was as white as paper, and the blood from the corner of his mouth extended all the way to his chest. His hair, which had been neatly combed, was now extremely messy. If it weren't for his chest still rising and falling slightly, I would have thought he was dead.
I turned around and looked around. The person who injured the old Taoist priest had disappeared. I didn't know whether the corpse king had dissipated or was taken away by him. He didn't kill the old Taoist priest directly. It seemed that the other party was also injured.
Now I don't care about good or bad. I took out a few pills from the old Taoist priest's arms. I can recognize the blood-replenishing pills, but I don't know about the others. If I accidentally kill the old Taoist priest, he will definitely dream of strangling me to death every day.
So, I stuffed a blood-replenishing pill into his mouth, and then imitated what I saw on TV, holding his jaw and opening and closing it to help him swallow it.
But before I could do it twice, the old Taoist waved his hand to signal me not to do it anymore. He opened his lifeless eyes and said weakly: If I do it again, my jaw will be dislocated.
I couldn't help laughing. The old Taoist priest seemed to turn around to look, but he was too weak, so he asked me: Is it sealed?
I looked around, there was nothing, no dead air, no ghosts, so it should be sealed.
What about the Corpse King and him?
Gone.
The old Taoist priest sighed and said with regret: I still couldn't keep him.
I said: Be content, at least if we seal this place off, we can both survive.
The old Taoist shook his head slightly and said: The sword of demon-subduing was taken away by him, and he will definitely find another place to refine the corpse king again. However, in the Yinhun Palace of the Ten Palaces, the corpse king must have been seriously injured, and it would be difficult to refine it again.
Is that really the King of Hell? I asked curiously.
It is just a kind of Dharma image, formed by the condensation of Taoist power. You won't understand even if I tell you, so just take it as the truth. The old Taoist priest was not interested in popularizing science to me, and said: Feed me the green health pill.
I found the green health-preserving pill and fed it to the old Taoist priest. He spread his hands flat, closed his eyes, and breathed slowly.
I knew he was recovering from his injuries, so I stopped talking.
The old Taoist priest said that the Wheel King is a Dharma image, an illusion formed by the condensation of Taoist power. I have occasionally heard of the Dharma image, but at least there must be a real existence to condense the Dharma image. In this world, there is no such thing as something created out of nothing.
The might of the King of the Wheel is so overwhelming that it is beyond description. At least, I can't think of any words to describe it.
While the old Taoist priest was recuperating, I took out the jade pendant that could lead to the underworld and examined it carefully.
In addition to the words engraved on the jade pendant, there are also some patterns. If you don't look carefully, you won't know, but after looking carefully, you will find that these patterns are actually various animals and plants, as well as patterns that really don't make sense.
Everything was carved very small and could only be vaguely recognized.
I was even more amazed at the supernatural powers of my ancestors, as they could even summon the images of the Ten Kings of Hell. No wonder the old Taoist priest praised them so highly, and it made sense.
At the same time, I felt sorry for myself. My ancestors were so powerful, but I was so ignorant of all this. If the old Taoist priest hadn't appeared, I might have really exchanged this jade pendant for money in a few years.
Recently I feel my body is very strange. For example, once before, without using the jade pendant, I could actually see death and ghosts.
This had never happened before I met the old Taoist priest. Looking at the Tongming jade pendant in my hand, I began to wonder whether it was because of the elixir the old Taoist priest gave me or because I used the Tongming jade pendant so much.
However, my biggest doubt is the old Taoist priest himself.
Why did he suddenly appear here, and where did he get injured? Who controls the Demon-Subduing Sword, what did the undertaker do with my blood, and why did he ask me to go to Xishuangbanna to find old man Gamu?
Besides, it was the undertaker who reminded me to come to Changping. If I hadn't come here and relied on the old Taoist priest alone, I would have died.
Could it be that my previous guess was true, that the old Taoist priest really knew the undertaker, so he let the undertaker go in Xishuangbanna, and in Gaoping, the undertaker reminded me to come and help the old Taoist priest.
But this doesn't make sense. The old Taoist priest came to stop the other party from refining the Corpse King, and wasn't the undertaker who took away the Corpse Nourishing Pill here to refine it into a Corpse King?
