"Let me recommend?"
Monk Zhenhui was stunned for a moment, then asked tentatively:
"What the layman means is..."
"There should be a certain amount of earthly turbid energy accumulated in these eight demon caves, right?"
Zhang Yao raised his eyebrows and said:
"I want the one with the most seats."
The thicker the earthly turbid energy in the demon cave is, the greater the possibility of the birth of a golden elixir-level Yin demon.
Under normal circumstances, a golden elixir-level evil demon requires several golden elixir monks to work together to encircle and suppress it. Each golden elixir monk can receive tens of thousands of good deeds based on his contribution.
But if he could kill independently, he would be able to enjoy hundreds of thousands of good deeds. Zhang Yao would naturally seek such an opportunity.
"I see."
Monk Zhenhui pondered for a moment before speaking:
"Eighty thousand miles northeast of here, the demon cave under Changle Mountain has the largest amount of accumulated demonic energy among the remaining eight demon caves."
"Okay, let's go to Changle Mountain."
Zhang Yao stood up, waved his sleeves and robe, and gestured:
"Without further ado, let's set off now, and I'll ask Master Zhenhui to lead the way for me."
"no problem."
Monk Zhenhui also readily agreed.
soon:
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Two rays of light flew across the sky, speeding toward the northeast.
Monk Zhenhui had just refined the golden elixir, and his escape speed was not very fast among the golden elixir monks. In order to take care of his speed, Zhang Yao also lowered his own escape speed.
The two of them fled all the way for a day and a night, crossing a territory of 80,000 miles, and arrived at the boundary of Dulin City in the north of the Mani Kingdom.
In Mani, there was no unified dynasty. Instead, a city garrison system was adopted. Each city had a fixed jurisdiction and was divided into many levels, ranging from hundreds of miles to thousands of miles.
Durin City is a majestic city in the north and the largest city within thousands of miles nearby. There are more than 300 Buddhist temples in the city, 28 of which support Buddhist monks.
"Boom..."
The escaping light of Zhang Yao and Monk Zhenhui penetrated the sea of clouds and hovered high in the sky, overlooking a majestic mountain below.
Changle Mountain is a majestic peak rising out of the vast dense forest. It is more than 1,200 feet high. It has beautiful scenery, lush forests, and a great scenery.
At the top of this mountain peak, there is a quaint palace covering an area of several acres, lingering with a powerful spiritual aura.
"Well……"
Zhang Yao used his spiritual thoughts and shot in all directions, his heart moved slightly:
"The formation here is indeed very powerful. I can hardly feel the earth's turbid energy overflowing..."
In theory, the formations of the twenty-four demon caves should all exist independently because they are very far apart.
However, due to the existence of the good merit system and the supervision system throughout the Mani Kingdom, Zhang Yao did not dare to easily conclude whether these formations for sealing and suppressing demon caves had a secret inner connection.
But even if there is no connection, this formation alone is definitely at the fourth-level level, and there is no fear of any evil thoughts from outside Jindan monks.
"Principal Qingxu, let's go."
Monk Zhenhui said hello, and then took the lead in driving the escaping light towards the top of Changle Mountain, followed closely by Zhang Yao.
A moment later:
"Amitabha!"
An old monk with white beard and hair walked out of the palace on the top of Changle Mountain and greeted the two of them in front of the palace gate.
"Senior nephew Zhenhui."
The old monk looked at Zhang Yao with kind eyes and asked:
"Is this a new layman?"
"Meet Uncle Tongguang."
After monk Zhenhui bowed respectfully, he pointed to Zhang Yao beside him and said:
"Uncle Master's guess is correct. This is layman Qingxu from Dali."
"My nephew brought him here this time just to take over your position, Uncle Tongguang, to sit in Changle Mountain and suppress the demon cave here."
"It turns out he is layman Qingxu. I have really admired his name for a long time!"
Old monk Tongguang seemed to have heard of Zhang Yao's name, and he immediately smiled gently and said:
"With layman Qingxu in charge, I think I should be able to sit back and relax after coming to Changle Mountain."
He said, stretched out his hand sideways and said:
"Householder, please."
"Master please."
After Zhang Yao bowed humbly, he followed the old monk Tongguang into the interior of the 'Changle Palace'. While touring, he listened to the explanation given by the old monk Tongguang.
The interior furnishings of Changle Palace are also full of Buddhist style. The structure is very simple and is only divided into two parts, the front and back.
The front hall area is mainly used to receive foreign guests and block the leakage of earthly turbidity. The real essence is in the back hall area.
The structure of the apse area is also divided into two parts:
The first is the 'Demon Suppressing Well' deep in the Changle Palace. It leads directly to the demon cave, and some earthly turbid energy is often vented. If there is a golden elixir Yin demon, it will only be born in the Demon Suppressing Well.
The second is the 'Demon Sealing Palace' which is close to the Demon Suppressing Well. It is the hidden cultivation place of the Jindan monks who are stationed here, and it is also the hub of the Demon Cave Formation.
"As the saying goes, when water is full, it will overflow. To suppress the turbid air in the earth, we must also open the gate appropriately to prevent it from accumulating into a flood tide, breaking down the dam, and causing an irreparable mistake."
"Therefore, this Demon Suppressing Well was intentionally made with a hole in it from the beginning to let out some of the earth's turbid energy."
"These earthly turbid airs are extremely easy to combine with demonic thoughts and lure monks into demons. They are also very difficult to eliminate. The golden elixir magic power must be used in conjunction with the formation here to continuously eliminate the leaked earthly turbid airs."
The old monk Tongguang pointed to the metal-cast, dark wellhead and said:
"However, the turbid energy of the earth comes from between heaven and earth, and it is impossible to cut it off. No matter how much it is directed to leak out, it cannot keep up with the speed of accumulation."
"Therefore, every tens or hundreds of years, a golden elixir-level evil demon will inevitably be born in each demon cave. This kind of evil demon is very terrifying. Once it appears, it must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause endless troubles once it escapes!"
When he said this, he paused for a moment before looking at Zhang Yao:
"Principal Qingxu, you chose to stay in this magic cave in Changle Mountain, you must have done it intentionally, right?"
In the demon cave of Changle Mountain, the turbid energy of the earth has been accumulated for nearly a hundred years, and it is very likely that a golden elixir-level Yin Demon will be born in the near future.
Old monk Tongguang knew this very well. He did not believe that it was a coincidence that the famous ancestor Qingxu chose this magic cave.
"good."
Zhang Yao nodded slightly and said bluntly:
"Master has a keen eye, and I came here on my own initiative."
"Um……"
Old monk Tongguang nodded slightly and said:
"It's not difficult to guess what you are thinking, layman Qingxu, but you are an expert in art and are bold and not comparable to ordinary Jindan monks, so the old monk will not dissuade you much."
"However, I still want to warn lay people that the most terrifying thing about Yin demons is not their ability to kill, but their ability to pollute the mind and combine evil thoughts. I hope that in the future, lay people will be careful when they enter the well to refine demons."
"Although good deeds are good, they are still insignificant external things compared to one's own golden elixir path."
"Thank you, Master, for reminding me. I will definitely act with caution."
Zhang Yao bowed politely and asked emphatically for some information about the Jindan-level Yin Demon.
After the inquiries were almost completed, the handover process was almost completed. Old monk Tongguang transferred the authority of the formation center to Zhang Yao, and the handover was successfully completed.
"From now on, this Changle Mountain will be left to you, layman Qingxu."
Old monk Tongguang smiled slightly and said:
"Nephew Zhenhui and I are going to rush back to Mani Temple."
"There are many wonderful sights in the temple, and Dharma meetings are held regularly. If lay people have time to go there in the future, you may wish to come to the temple to talk to the poor monks."
"And me."
Monk Zhenhui spoke quickly and added:
"Businessman, if you come to Mani Temple when you have time, remember to come see me. We can exchange more experiences in practice."
"sure."
Zhang Yao nodded politely and sent the two of them out of Changle Palace.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Two golden rays of light tore through the sky, flew far away, and disappeared into the horizon in a few seconds.
After Zhang Yao saw Dun Guang go away, he withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked to the Demon Sealing Hall, where he sat down on a specially made golden futon.
"Buzz..."
As soon as he sat down, a mysterious force blessed him.
Under the blessing of this power, Zhang Yao suddenly felt his body light up, and his spiritual thoughts and magic power seemed to have broken free from the invisible cage, becoming extremely light and agile, as if they had wings.
"Is this the turbid energy of the earth?"
In this special state, Zhang Yao keenly felt that the Demon Sealing Palace and the Demon Suppressing Well behind him were indeed one entity.
The turbid energy of the earth was constantly leaking out of the Demon Suppressing Well, and was sealed into the Demon Sealing Hall through the passage isolated by the formation. The sealed door, or keyhole, was the golden futon he was sitting on.
"I see!"
After Zhang Yao observed the state of the earth's turbid energy, his heart suddenly became enlightened.
The pure Qi of heaven and earth is immortal, while the turbid Qi is demon.
The pure qi of heaven and earth is spiritual qi, which is the foundation of immortality; while the turbid qi is the opposite of pure qi, and has the ability to combine with demonic thoughts and lure monks into demons. It is the 'demon qi' that is completely opposite to spiritual qi.
The direct collision between spiritual energy and demonic energy often leads to mutual annihilation.
The monk's magic power is undoubtedly the further purified spiritual energy, especially the golden elixir level magic power. After many qualitative changes, its purity is far higher than the ordinary earthly and turbid energy.
"The so-called suppressing demonic points and refining demonic energy is actually to use the golden elixir level magic power to continuously kill the earthly turbid energy with the assistance of the power of the formation."
"Because the golden elixir's mana is extremely pure, a ray of mana can dissolve a hundred times the turbidity, so that the loss of mana is not as fast as the recovery speed of the golden elixir cultivator himself."
"As for the foundation-building monks under the golden elixir, even if there are a hundred, the total mana power is much greater than that of the golden elixir monks, and they cannot replace the role of the golden elixir monks..."
After Zhang Yao penetrated the mystery of this Demon Sealing Palace, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this structure is really ingenious.
"Well... the demonic energy has already gathered a lot, it's best not to delay any longer."
While Zhang Yao was observing the formation and the turbid air, the earth's turbid air was also gathering in a steady stream.
Only then did he realize that the special space of the Demon Sealing Hall was limited and could not accommodate too much demonic energy. If it was not eliminated as soon as possible, it might cause trouble.
Just now, the old monk Tongguang took him around and left his post. With his observation time, in less than an hour, a lot of demonic energy had already been accumulated in the Demon Sealing Hall.
If it takes a little longer to leave, and no one refines the demonic energy for a few hours at most, then go back to Chaos.
"There really is no room for error at all, and the design was too hasty..."
Zhang Yao shook his head secretly, immediately mobilized his magic power, and with the blessing of the power of the formation, he penetrated into that special space through the futon under his seat.
"boom!"
In an instant, the pure mana and the earth's turbid energy collided with each other, and an extremely violent conflict broke out.
Zhang Yao only felt that the ray of mana was consumed rapidly, and it was all used up in a few seconds, and the turbid air around him was also dissolved, leaving a large-scale blank area.
"Um?"
His expression suddenly changed, revealing a hint of joy:
"I see!"
"It turns out that refining demonic energy has such benefits..."
