Yellow Skinned Taoist Master

Chapter 26: Calling You, Three-Inch Nail

"Let's go!"

The brass oil lamp carried Chen Huangpi, and the person and the dog quickly rushed towards the scripture pavilion.

Leaving that road, they no longer needed to worry about the demon tree.

Huang Er could illuminate the surroundings without restraint.

But Chen Huangpi was in a daze, thinking about the Nine Separation Bell.

In the mountain god's memory, when Xu Qingshan returned to the Pure Immortal Temple, the Nine Separation Bell had rung three times.

The sound was vigorous and extremely penetrating.

Chen Huangpi had a very good memory.

So he was sure that it was the sound of the Nine Separation Bell just now, but he didn't know who had rung it.

Could it be his master?If so, why didn't he come to find him?

Was he afraid of the demon tree?

"Huang Er, who do you think rang the Nine Separation Bell?"

"Don't think about it. It's definitely not the Temple Master."

The brass oil lamp said disdainfully, "If it were really the Temple Master, seeing you being bullied like this, he would have already killed that demon tree. How could he use such a method?"

"Besides, it's not even certain if that was the Nine Separation Bell."

Chen Huangpi asked curiously, "You know the Nine Separation Bell?"

"Half-know it..."

"What do you mean by half-know?"

"It's just..."

The brass oil lamp stammered, "It's just that I know it, but it doesn't know me."

"Huang Er, you've changed."

Chen Huangpi said with contempt, "You've become shameless. It doesn't even know you, yet you still insist on clinging to it."

"Do I need to cling to it?"

The brass oil lamp's dog face was flushed red, "I was at least personally forged by the Temple Master, while it was just snatched by the Temple Master. At most, it's a concubine's child. You and I are both of the direct line. We are on the same side and should be united against outsiders."

"It was snatched by master?"

Chen Huangpi was very curious.

Before his master went mad, he had never said these things, and he didn't look like someone who would do such a thing.

"This was told to me by that bastard Huang Yi himself."

The brass oil lamp rolled its eyes and said, "Back then, in order to create gods, the Temple Master brought thousands of cultivators from the Da Qian Immortal Dynasty to this cursed place. Before he left, he took away many treasures."

"But only the Nine Separation Bell was snatched by the Temple Master."

Speaking of which...

The brass oil lamp suddenly shook its head, "But Huang Yi also doesn't know what kind of ability the Nine Separation Bell has that would make an existence like the Temple Master go to the trouble of snatching it. He clearly could have gotten whatever he wanted from the Da Qian Immortal Dynasty."

"Later, when I was awakened by the Temple Master, I only saw you."

"Huang Yi disappeared, the Nine Separation Bell also disappeared. I remember there was also a sword, but they are all gone."

"And the painting of flying immortals."

Chen Huangpi reminded him. He had never forgotten that on the painting of flying immortals, there was a Gate of All Wonders. As long as one had the Ascension Token, one could enter the world in the painting of flying immortals.

That world was the place where the Golden Top Heavenly Lamp consecrated deities.

Originally, the painting of flying immortals was on the innermost wall of the main hall of the Pure Immortal Temple.

But now it had also disappeared.

At this time, the brass oil lamp said again, "If that bell sound was really it, then I don't know if it's good or bad."

Chen Huangpi and the brass oil lamp were of one mind.

He knew that the brass oil lamp was worried. The place they were in now was the extra area of the Pure Immortal Temple at night.

If they didn't leave here before dawn, they would never be able to leave again.

And the Nine Separation Bell had been here for so long, it had probably long since turned into a terrifying existence like the demon tree.

"No."

Chen Huangpi shook his head, "Even master had to fight for it. It must be extremely powerful. If it turned into a disaster, it would definitely be more terrifying than the demon tree."

"Don't think about it."

The brass oil lamp said, "We can't even provoke the demon tree, let alone it. Look, the scripture pavilion is right ahead. It's time to get down to business."

In fact, as soon as it heard the bell sound, it knew it was the Nine Separation Bell.

But it wasn't quite sure.

Because back then, the Nine Separation Bell was a treasure second only to the Golden Top Heavenly Lamp. In fact, if it weren't for the Golden Top Heavenly Lamp's ability to consecrate deities, it was uncertain who was second.

As for itself...

Huang Er quickly shook its dog head, trying to shake off the memory of being despised as a lackey back then.

"Even I can live until now. It's unreasonable for the Nine Separation Bell to end up like this..."

"Could it be that the Temple Master did it?"

The brass oil lamp was very confused.

But it was timid and didn't dare to joke with Chen Huangpi's safety. Otherwise, it would really want to go and see what was going on with the Nine Separation Bell.

At this time, Chen Huangpi spoke, "Huang Er, I see the scripture pavilion."

"I see it too."

Not far away, in the darkness, there was a tall building like a mountain peak.

The building was ninety-nine stories high.

It seemed to be built of some kind of stone material, which was black and hard.

Even after an unknown number of years, time had not left any trace of wind and rain.

However, when the person and the lamp arrived at the entrance of the scripture pavilion, they both frowned at the same time.

"Why is there only half?"

Before, they were far away, so they could only see a rough outline.

But when they got closer, they saw that the back of the scripture pavilion had been neatly split in half.

Half was in front of them.

The other half was gone.

Chen Huangpi had only seen the scripture pavilion from a distance before and knew where it was. This was the first time he had come here.

But he didn't expect the scripture pavilion to have become like this.

Chen Huangpi reached out to touch the place where the scripture pavilion had been split open.

But the next second, his hand retracted.

"Pain, so much pain."

Chen Huangpi grimaced in pain. His fingers felt as if they had been pricked by thousands of needles, and it was as painful as if he had touched a sharp blade.

"Sword qi, such strong sword qi!"

"There's still sword qi that can hurt you?"

The brass oil lamp was in disbelief.

You must know that Chen Huangpi's skin was thick and his flesh was tough. He was now nine years old.

But the Temple Master was still helpless against him.

He had even been swallowed, but he was still spat out.

For him to cry out in pain, how terrifying must the sword qi be? And it was only what was left behind.

"No, it didn't hurt me. It's just that I seem to be a little different..."

Chen Huangpi rubbed his fingertips. He hadn't been hurt by the sword qi.

He just felt pain.

But before, he wouldn't have felt anything at all.

"Huang Er, I feel like I've changed. Since I started practicing the Five Viscera Spirit Refining Art and the Yin-Yang Harmonization and Spirit Transformation Art, my six senses have become much more sensitive."

"Oh, you're not saying you've grown up this time?"

The brass oil lamp said disdainfully, "I told you long ago, the Temple Master is mad and wants to eat you. The techniques he taught you are definitely to make your skin softer, more tender, and more fragrant. You've only just had your skin turn white and your six senses become stronger. You might even shed your skin later."

"Shed my skin?"

Chen Huangpi's face turned pale, and he said in a panic, "I'm a person. People don't shed their skin."

"That's not for sure. You even dare to practice the techniques the Temple Master taught you. I wouldn't be surprised if anything happened."

The brass oil lamp really felt that the Temple Master had ulterior motives in teaching Chen Huangpi the techniques.

He must have found that Chen Huangpi's skin was thick and his flesh was tough, so he couldn't chew it.

So he came up with these strange methods.

For no other reason than to make it easier to eat.

"No, I must cure my master. I don't want to shed my skin."

Chen Huangpi shook his head desperately.

He was frightened by Huang Er and immediately panicked.

"Let's go, let's go into the scripture pavilion now to find the medicine classic."

With that, Chen Huangpi rode the brass oil lamp back to the entrance of the scripture pavilion.

The gate of the scripture pavilion was very large, even taller than the main hall of the Pure Immortal Temple.

It was at least ten meters high.

There were two pillars in front of the gate, which looked like some kind of wood but gave the feeling of being harder than gold and iron.

And at the entrance, there were two stone statues of strange beasts.

The two strange beasts had a single horn on their heads, eight eyes on their faces, and their bodies were thin, without any muscle, just a layer of skin covering their bones.

But their skeletons were very large.

Just one look gave a feeling of extreme ferocity.

"Huang Er, if only you could become like this. I would look so majestic riding you."

"You're too greedy. If it were me, I wouldn't need you to become like this. I would be satisfied if you just let me ride you back."

The brass oil lamp rolled its eyes.

If it weren't for Chen Huangpi promising it that he would undo the Dog Rearing Scripture after they got out, would it be so obsequious?

"These two stone statues, I remember they were the guardians of the scripture pavilion. It's a pity that things have changed, and even they..."

"They're moving?!!!"

As soon as the brass oil lamp's terrified voice fell, "No way, again!!!"

The brass oil lamp's soul was about to fly out.

It carried Chen Huangpi and ran, as if it had made some kind of decision.

"Wait, wait."

Chen Huangpi said anxiously, "They're not chasing us!"

"What did you say?"

The brass oil lamp didn't stop, just turned its head to look.

It saw the two thin, skin-and-bones unicorn strange beast stone statues trembling incessantly. The dust that had accumulated on their bodies over time, like stone blocks, was being shaken off piece by piece.

The two unicorn strange beasts, exuding an aura of hunger and ferocity, jumped down from their stone pedestals.

They were on the left and right.

They stared intently at Chen Huangpi and the brass oil lamp.

But they stopped in their tracks.

"Look, there are chains on their horns!"

The brass oil lamp turned its head to look.

It saw that there was a hole in the single horn on the heads of the two strange beasts. Two fine chains passed through them, one end connected to their single horns, and the other end connected to the foundation of the scripture pavilion.

No matter how tight the chains were pulled, there was no sign of them breaking.

Chen Huangpi asked curiously, "What material are those chains made of? How can they be so hard?"

"Shoushan copper, I'm familiar with this. It's indeed quite hard."

After speaking, the brass oil lamp seemed to have realized something and said in a rage, "Just two watchdogs. What right do they have to use the same material as me?"

"Family, the Temple Master has gone too far in bullying this lamp!"

The two strange beasts roared like crazy.

Their sharp claws scratched marks on the ground.

But no matter what, they couldn't break free from the chains.

Such huge strange beasts were trapped on the left and right by a single chain. Besides their huge bodies, they couldn't even move two or three meters to the left or right.

"Huang Er, they're so pitiful..."

Chen Huangpi felt a little sorry for them. He felt that even dogs raised to guard the house shouldn't be treated like this.

"Yes, they are indeed very pitiful, as pitiful as me."

The brass oil lamp was originally very angry, but seeing this scene, it couldn't help but feel a sense of compassion.

Its main body had been divided into several thousand pieces, and its strength had weakened to the extreme.

And it was not free.

It could only hope that Chen Huangpi would take it out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

It had thought it was already miserable enough.

It didn't expect there to be something even more miserable.

But the next second, the brass oil lamp's compassion disappeared.

Because the unicorn eight-eyed strange beast on the left roared.

"Wild dog, Second Master is hungry. Hurry up and let Second Master eat you."

The brass oil lamp's fur stood on end, and its two dog eyes burned with lamp fire.

"Who are you calling a wild dog?"

Chen Huangpi quickly stopped Huang Er.

The brass oil lamp shouted angrily, "Chen Huangpi, don't stop me. If I don't burn it to a crisp with my true fire today, I'll take Huang Yi's surname."

"Don't be like this. They're pitiful enough. Let them go."

At this time, the unicorn eight-eyed strange beast on the right also roared at Chen Huangpi, "Three-inch nail, you come over and let First Master take a bite. First Master will only eat half, absolutely not more."

Chen Huangpi was stunned for a moment and looked left and right.

Where was the three-inch nail?

Why didn't he see it?

The unicorn eight-eyed strange beast on the right said, "Stop looking. First Master is calling you, three-inch nail boy. Hurry up and stick your head over. First Master is starving."

As it spoke, it opened its bloody mouth.

Chen Huangpi's face flushed red. He felt his blood rush to his head, and his teeth gritted with a crunching sound.

"Huang Er, listen to my command!!!!!"
