Yellow Skinned Taoist Master

Chapter 27: Golden Horn and Silver Horn

"I want them dead!"

Chen Huangpi was furious. The endless stream of essence qi from between his two kidneys was being poured into the brass oil lamp's body as if his life depended on it.

He had killed so many human fruits and snatched so much essence qi.

Now, it had grown from a faint wisp to the thickness of a finger.

The brass oil lamp was already furious at being called a wild dog.

At this time, Chen Huangpi poured all his essence qi into it.

It was truly like pouring oil on a raging fire, igniting at the slightest touch.

"Die for this lamp!"

In the brass oil lamp's two eyes, the wick burned incomparably fiercely. It opened its mouth wide, its chest swelled high, and when it sank again, a thick and incomparable true fire instantly spewed out.

This true fire was its lamp fire.It was already unusual, with an extremely high status.

It was just that it had been divided into too many parts, so it needed Chen Huangpi's cooperation to display some of its power.

But even so, in its anger, this true fire actually had more than half of its power at its peak.

The two unicorn eight-eyed strange beasts were instantly swallowed by the flames.

The flames became smaller and smaller.

The brass oil lamp felt that something was wrong and quickly stopped.

"Chen Huangpi, these two watchdogs are not right."

"They seem to be of a different kind."

Chen Huangpi asked, "What do you mean by a different kind?"

The brass oil lamp said, "They were polluted, but they stopped when they were turning into evil entities. Thus, they are of a different kind."

You must know that even the Nine Separation Bell had inevitably turned into an evil entity.

The bell sound, filled with pain and madness, was enough to prove how deeply it had been polluted.

On what grounds could these two watchdogs become of a different kind?

The two strange beasts were starving.

They didn't care about Chen Huangpi and the brass oil lamp at all.

As they swallowed the last wisp of flame, their bodies, which had been just skin and bones, actually became a little fuller.

The strange beast on the left said, "What a powerful true fire. After eating it, Second Master feels warm in my stomach."

The strange beast on the right said, "Wild dog, a little harder! First Master is not full!"

"Wild dog!!!"

The brass oil lamp laughed in anger, "Chen Huangpi, I am your best friend. They are humiliating me like this. Can you be a coward?"

"Oh, you want this three-inch nail to stand up for you?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Chen Huangpi's eyes were filled with baleful qi. He formed a sword finger with both hands, and the Grand Duke Demon Slaying sword qi crazily slashed at the two strange beasts.

Every streak of sword qi carried a full measure of killing intent.

And each one was mixed with a wisp of black smoke.

However, the two strange beasts were already starving.

They didn't care if it was sword qi or what, they just opened their mouths and swallowed it.

"Wah..."

The strange beast on the left let out a painful wail, "It hurts, my stomach hurts so much."

A wisp of black smoke instantly rushed out and entered Chen Huangpi's body.

But, Chen Huangpi's face was dumbfounded, "Are they starving ghosts? My sword qi slashes out, but only black smoke comes back. Not even a wisp of essence qi is brought out."

By this calculation, he had actually made a loss?

The strange beast on the left grinned ferociously in pain, "If you have the ability, then kill me. I won't spit out a single wisp of essence qi for you."

After speaking, a wisp of black smoke was spat out from its mouth again.

"No, I won't even spit out your black smoke."

As it spoke, it gritted its fangs and covered its nose.

Even its ears and eyes were closed.

But the one on the right was different.

It had already done so, and even its butt was firmly pressed against the ground.

The main thing was that it would only take in and not let out.

The sword qi raged in the bodies of the two strange beasts, causing them pain worse than death.

But hunger was more terrifying than death.

They would rather die than spit it out.

Gradually, the aura on their bodies suddenly became a little strange.

Strange beasts could be considered half-evil entities.

The black smoke had stimulated them, causing their stagnant transformation to continue.

A cold and sinister voice suddenly sounded in Chen Huangpi's ear.

"Quickly take back your black smoke. Otherwise, when they turn into evil entities, even the chains made of Shoushan copper won't be able to hold them."

That voice was precisely the voice of the Soul-Hooking Ghost.

Chen Huangpi said, "Soul-Hooking Ghost, you're talking again?"

"I didn't want to speak, but it's been so long. Have you forgotten about the Nascent Soul soul in the Soul-Hooking Manual? If you don't take your share, how can I take mine?"

Reminded by it, Chen Huangpi finally remembered that when he had killed Twelfth Madam's Nascent Soul with a single sword strike, Twelfth Madam's soul had been taken away by the Soul-Hooking Manual.

And according to the rules of the Soul-Hooking Manual, if Chen Huangpi, as the contract master, didn't take his share, the Soul-Hooking Ghost could only stare at Twelfth Madam's soul and do nothing.

"We'll talk about it when I get out. Since you know their origins, can you help me deal with them?"

Previously, when he was trapped by the Yellow Peril, the Soul-Hooking Ghost in the Soul-Hooking Manual had spoken up, reminding him that the Dog Rearing Scripture could help him.

Now, it had spoken up again to remind Chen Huangpi.

"They are the children of Diting, who walk along the Yellow Springs in the netherworld. If I hadn't been gnawed into a skeleton by your master, I could have helped you. But you neither go out to harm people nor kill indiscriminately. In my current state, what can I do to help you?"

"I advise you to run quickly. I don't want to be trapped in this cursed place. At that time, you'll die with a kick of your legs, but I won't even be able to die if I want to."

The Soul-Hooking Ghost said no more.

Chen Huangpi's face was troubled.

"If they turn into evil entities and block the entrance of the scripture pavilion, I'm afraid I'll never be able to get in again."

Chen Huangpi was worried.

He glanced at the two strange beasts.

They had the posture of turning into evil entities rather than spitting out the black smoke.

So he quickly said, "You don't have to endure it anymore. Hurry up and spit out the black smoke. That thing is not good, it's easy to get a stomachache."

The two strange beasts turned a deaf ear.

Chen Huangpi said again, "I'll feed you true fire. True fire is more delicious than this."

The strange beast on the left's ear twitched.

It opened its mouth and said, "Really?"

But as soon as it opened its mouth, a wisp of black smoke came out again.

It quickly closed its mouth.

Chen Huangpi said, "I keep my word. You believe me. I will definitely not lie to you."

The strange beast on the right opened one eye.

"Then you swear."

After speaking, a wisp of black smoke came out.

It closed its mouth tightly again.

Chen Huangpi was helpless and could only say, "I swear, as long as you spit out the black smoke, I will definitely feed you true fire."

The one on the left said, "No, you have to make a poisonous oath."

"If I don't keep my promise, may my cultivation never advance, and may I never have three meals a day for the rest of my life like you."

The one on the right said, "Make it more poisonous!"

"Is that not poisonous enough?"

Chen Huangpi gritted his teeth and said, "Then may I never grow taller and be a three-inch nail for the rest of my life! Is that poisonous enough?"

"Enough, First Master believes you!"

After the strange beast finished speaking, it opened its mouth and spat out all the black smoke, clutching its stomach and rolling on the ground crazily.

"It hurts so much, it's killing me, First Master."

"Ahhhhhh, Second Master's stomach is about to rot. Three-inch nail, why didn't you say so earlier!"

The two strange beasts hadn't had contact with people for too long.

It seemed their minds were not working well.

But they were extremely stubborn.

"Quick, that wild dog, I'm calling you. Quickly give First Master and Second Master some true fire."

Chen Huangpi looked at the brass oil lamp helplessly.

Huang Er was trembling with anger and said with hatred, "Fine, I'll give it to you, all of it."

It opened its mouth and spewed out streaks of true fire.

It was truly going all out.

The two strange beasts swallowed all the true fire, and their bodies became fuller and fuller.

"A little more, a little more!"

"There's no more, really no more."

The brass oil lamp said weakly, "Chen Huangpi, I've been squeezed dry. My legs are weak. Quickly turn me back. I want to hang on your waist and lie down for a while."

In fact, it still had plenty of true fire.

But it didn't dare to really let the two strange beasts eat their fill.

Otherwise, who knew what other changes would happen?

Chen Huangpi nodded, activated the Dog Rearing Scripture, and turned the brass oil lamp back to its original form, hanging it on his waist.

Seeing this, the two strange beasts were bewildered.

"This oil lamp looks so familiar..."

"Is it the Temple Master's Golden Top Heavenly Lamp?"

"Impossible. The Golden Top Heavenly Lamp is so powerful, but it only has this much ability. It must be a fake."

How could the brass oil lamp endure such a stimulus? It cracked open a gap and was about to curse, but Chen Huangpi quickly pressed it down.

"It's not worth it, really not worth it."

As he spoke, he said to the two strange beasts, "We can be considered to have become acquainted through fighting. What are your names? Why have you been trapped here for so long without turning into evil entities? Instead, you've become strange beasts."

The two strange beasts looked at each other, then spoke at the same time.

"First Master's name is Golden Horn."

"Second Master's name is Silver Horn."

Hearing this, Chen Huangpi finally noticed that the single horns on the heads of the two strange beasts were indeed a little different. One had a golden light at the tip, while the other had a silver sheen.

"Your names are very similar to mine."

"What? Your name is Three-Inch Nail?"

Golden Horn's words made Chen Huangpi want to kill him.

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "My name is Chen Huangpi, not Three-Inch Nail."

Golden Horn shook his head, "Tsk, what a pity."

This "pity" was unclear whether it was for Chen Huangpi's name or for not being called Three-Inch Nail.

Chen Huangpi felt it was the latter, because he already regretted not slashing a few more times with his sword qi and turning these two damned Golden Horn and Silver Horn into evil entities.

Silver Horn dissuaded, "Big brother, stop teasing him."

As he spoke, he said to Chen Huangpi, "You're really something, getting angry over a few words. We're teasing you like this, so you can naturally tease us back. How about this, you don't have to call us by our names, just call us First Master and Second Master."

"Ah!!!"

Chen Huangpi was furious, "Huang Er, besides true fire, do you have any other killing moves!!!"

The brass oil lamp said, "I do, but I don't have much lamp oil left."

Golden Horn and Silver Horn sneered.

They said lazily, "Alright, First Master and Second Master are kind-hearted. We won't tease you anymore. You can go back where you came from."

"I'm not leaving."

Chen Huangpi quickly said, "I want to go into the scripture pavilion to find the medicine classic."

"Go into the scripture pavilion?"

Golden Horn and Silver Horn's eyes widened, and they stared intently at Chen Huangpi.

"You want to go into the scripture pavilion?"

"Do you have the Ascension Token?"

"No."

Chen Huangpi shook his head, "But my master is the Temple Master. I am the sole heir of the Pure Immortal Temple. Are you going to stop me too?"

"Just because you say so? I'll say I'm the Temple Master's mas..."

"Second brother, shut up. You can't say that!"

Silver Horn closed its mouth.

It looked around in a panic, as if afraid of being heard by the Temple Master.

Golden Horn said, "Without the Ascension Token, you can't go in. We brothers have been guarding the scripture pavilion for so many years, and we only recognize the token, not the person! Unless you are the Temple Master, don't even think about going in!"

Chen Huangpi was completely furious, "Guarding my ass. The scripture pavilion has been split in half, and the other half is gone. You two, let me in quickly. Otherwise, when I go out and call my master in, I'll have him beat you to death for me!"

Originally, Chen Huangpi had always thought he had a good personality.

And a good temper.

But until he met Golden Horn and Silver Horn today, he realized that he had a fiery personality and a big temper.

He wanted to kill people at the slightest provocation!

Hearing this, Golden Horn and Silver Horn looked at each other in disbelief.

"Big brother, he seems to be telling the truth..."

"Where's the other half of the scripture pavilion?"

"It's over, it's over. The sky is falling. The Temple Master will kill us."

"What should we do, what should we do?"

Seeing this, Chen Huangpi immediately threatened, "You've already made a big mistake anyway. Why don't you let me in? I promise I won't tell my master. Otherwise, may I be a three-inch nail for the rest of my life."

"Big brother, should we believe Three-Inch Nail?"

"What Three-Inch Nail? I don't see one. Second brother, you must be seeing things because you're hungry. Hurry up and close your eyes and sleep for a while. You won't be hungry when you're asleep."

"Big brother is right!"

After Golden Horn and Silver Horn finished speaking, they immediately returned to their pedestals and turned back into their original stone statue appearances.

And they even turned their heads away.

As if afraid of seeing Chen Huangpi.

Seeing this, Chen Huangpi quickly walked up, pushed open the door, and walked into the scripture pavilion.

After Chen Huangpi went in, Silver Horn suddenly said with regret, "Big brother, we were tricked by this kid. If I had taken him by surprise just now and eaten him in one bite, where would he go to tell on us to the Temple Master?"

"We even let him in. This is our dereliction of duty..."

Golden Horn said, "Don't worry. So many Daoists have died in the scripture pavilion. Can he still come out alive? As for our dereliction of duty? I didn't let him in."

"Then I didn't either."

...

At this time, inside the scripture pavilion, Chen Huangpi stood in front of rows of books.

The air was filled with the smell of decay.

Opposite was a bottomless, dark abyss, because the other half of the scripture pavilion had been split off.

Chen Huangpi looked at the darkness and had a creepy illusion.

It was as if there were strange things in the darkness, staring at him.

"Huang Er, do you feel it?"

"Don't ask me, I don't dare to feel it. I was wondering why I didn't see a single evil entity outside. So they're all here!"
