Yellow Skinned Taoist Master

Chapter 34: You Absorb Human Qi, I Absorb You

The brass oil lamp looked at Chen Huangpi as if he were a fool.

Someone wanted to kill Chen Huangpi?

And they would send people over?

What a joke. This was the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

How much hatred, how much resentment.

"Huang Er, you don't understand."

Chen Huangpi shook his head and said seriously, "I've seen the memories of these people. They all practice evil arts, and they love to take revenge. Master ate Lin Ye, and I fed their souls to the Soul-Hooking Ghost and took that geomancy divine plate."

"This feud has been established!"

"Twelfth Madam came to kill me. Oh, she was also fed to the Soul-Hooking Ghost by me. Now it's really a fight to the death."

The brass oil lamp said disdainfully, "What if they're not after you? Besides, when Lin Ye and the others met you, the deity they brought with them was eaten by the mutated deity statue. They couldn't send any messages to the outside world.""They should be looking for the mutated deity statue."

"As for that geomancy divine plate, you just don't have to use it."

"Besides, it's a dead thing. Can it compare to me?"

Hearing this, Chen Huangpi thought for a moment and nodded, "Huang Er, you have a point. But I always feel that something is not right. Twelfth Madam practices an evil art. I only looked at it once and wanted to kill someone. Someone who practices an evil art can do anything."

"There's such an evil technique?"

The brass oil lamp became curious.

It had been with Chen Huangpi day and night. How could it not know its good brother's character?

Although he was mischievous, he was actually a kind-hearted good boy.

And his will was firm.

How strange must this technique be to make him want to kill someone after just one look?

Thinking of this, the brass oil lamp suddenly looked at Chen Huangpi warily and said, "Wait a minute, you're not going to use this evil art on me, are you? I'm telling you, I haven't settled the score with you about the Dog Rearing Scripture yet."

Chen Huangpi shook his head, "No, we can't practice it."

"That's good."

The brass oil lamp breathed a sigh of relief, but it also felt that it couldn't just take Chen Huangpi's word for it.

"Wait a minute, you first pass on the entire evil art to me to see. Otherwise, I won't believe your nonsense."

"But..."

Chen Huangpi hesitated. That technique was really evil...

What if Huang Er's mind was affected?

"No buts!"

The brass oil lamp said angrily, "But is just a cover-up. If you don't show me, then it means you have something to hide."

"I don't!"

Chen Huangpi said angrily, "If you want to see it, then I'll show you."

With that, he directly passed on the entire Joyful Union Wonderful Dharma to the brass oil lamp.

"This dharma..."

The brass oil lamp only looked at it once and felt dizzy.

Its lamp body was burning hot.

Its lamp oil was boiling.

Chen Huangpi said, "Isn't it very evil? Don't you have the urge to kill someone after just one look?"

"Yes! I really want to kill someone now!"

"I told you not to look, but you wouldn't believe me."

Chen Huangpi sighed, "Now look, even you've been affected."

"You'd better not look. I'll help you undo the Dog Rearing Scripture."

"What's the hurry?"

"Huh?"

"No, I mean, for such an evil technique, I must find its flaw."

The brass oil lamp said seriously, "Otherwise, if you encounter a cultivator who knows this evil art, won't you have no way to deal with it? Besides, I might be able to create some useful techniques for you from it."

As soon as its voice fell, the brass oil lamp retracted all its aura, as if it were dead, and really began to study the technique.

Chen Huangpi was at a loss.

He muttered, "This technique is really evil. Huang Er only looked at it once, and he's not even interested in undoing the Dog Rearing Scripture anymore. Could he have fallen into the demonic path?"

Master had entered the extra area of the Pure Immortal Temple.

He hadn't come out yet.

If Huang Er fell into the demonic path at this time, he would have no way to solve it.

Thinking of this, Chen Huangpi sighed.

Fortunately, the essence qi between his two kidneys was now much larger than before, and the speed of forging the kidney temple had also accelerated a lot.

He had killed so many human fruits before and even swallowed a piece of the demon tree's bark.

His kidney temple had already formed an outline.

Now, the speed at which the essence qi was forging the kidney temple was getting faster and faster.

Even the dragon bone of the temple ground was faintly about to form.

He estimated that he could forge the kidney temple in a day or two.

At that time, it would be time to invite a deity to reside in the kidney temple.

If he couldn't invite a suitable deity, an evil god should also be a god!

"I feel that even at her peak, Twelfth Madam couldn't beat me!"

Chen Huangpi thought to himself, "If Huang Er really falls into the demonic path, then I can only be ruthless and beat him awake!"

...

On the other side, in the guest room of the Pure Immortal Temple, Granny Tang's face was pale, and her whole body couldn't help but tremble.

The other remnants were also standing on the side.

It was already past morning, and the sky had been bright for a while.

According to the agreement they had signed with Chen Huangpi in black and white, they could only stay for one night and had to leave after dawn.

And they had to repay this debt within half a month.

Originally, Granny Tang had thought it through. She would leave this strange Pure Immortal Temple as soon as it was dawn, and then go to find other remnant villages. Even if Huanghu Village became history in the future, as long as she could save her life, she would have fulfilled her responsibility.

But early in the morning, as soon as Granny Tang opened her eyes, she saw a scene that almost made her vomit blood.

The mountain god statue, which had recovered some of its color yesterday, was now dim and lusterless. The statue was even covered in cracks, just like a mortal whose essence qi had been sucked dry.

Most importantly, no matter how Granny Tang responded, the mountain god did not reply at all.

But the mountain god was not dead.

Because when she worshipped the mountain god, Granny Tang could sense that the mountain god was still absorbing incense.

But it was not as fast as before.

Instead, it was a little reluctant, like a child eating, taking a bite only after a long time.

Granny Tang did not know that in fact, the fox mountain god was not unwilling to reply to her.

It was that it couldn't do it now.

Because there was not enough incense.

But it didn't dare to absorb too much incense.

It could only barely maintain a state where its divine soul would not collapse, just hanging on by a thread.

"This god is at least a mountain god of a region."

"I didn't expect to fall into such a miserable state. This Pure Immortal Temple is a demon's cave. That Huangpi kid is also strangely evil, and his master is simply too terrifying."

Although the fox mountain god had lost that memory, it clearly remembered that there was a mountain patroller in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Now, the fox mountain god was extremely certain that Chen Huangpi's master was the one who patrolled the mountains.

But this one had now become the most terrifying evil entity in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

"That Huangpi kid said that if his master came knocking, I shouldn't care and he would leave on his own. This god didn't care, but he didn't say his master would come in..."

Last night, the fox mountain god hadn't even noticed how the purple-robed old Daoist had come in.

It was as if as soon as his voice fell, he had appeared in front of it.

Then he smiled foolishly and said, "Don't be afraid. Huangpi'er won't let me eat you."

He didn't eat it.

But he took a sharp breath at it.

He directly sucked away all the incense it had accumulated.

Only a wisp was left.

If it weren't for its tough life, it probably wouldn't have been able to hold on until Granny Tang gathered the remnants to worship it.

And most importantly, before he left, Chen Huangpi's master had said, "Little fox, you absorb more human qi, and I'll come to absorb you every day."

After that sentence, the fox mountain god knew that it would never be able to leave this demon's cave again.

And just at that moment, Chen Huangpi pushed open the door and walked in, carrying the brass oil lamp.

"Granny Tang, why haven't you left yet?"

This one sentence made the remnants present lower their heads in shame.

Granny Tang also had a difficult expression and said bitterly, "Young master, it's not that we don't want to leave, but that my family's mountain god can't leave."

"Can't leave?"

Chen Huangpi said warily, "Granny Tang, you're not making an excuse to stay in the temple, are you?"

Granny Tang said, "Young master, this old woman has no such intention."

"You see."

As she spoke, she gestured for Chen Huangpi to look at the mountain god's statue.

"How did the fox mountain god become like this?"

Chen Huangpi was shocked, "Wasn't it fine yesterday?"

"Yes..."

Granny Tang smiled miserably, "But today the mountain god has become like this. Young master, you are knowledgeable. What do you think happened?"

In fact, Granny Tang had a vague feeling.

No...

To be precise, it wasn't a feeling.

Because she had personally seen Chen Huangpi's master, who wore a white Daoist robe, suck the incense from the three deities brought by Twelfth Madam on the spot, turning them into dust.

Without even thinking, she knew that it must have been Chen Huangpi's master.

But the mountain god had previously conveyed to Granny Tang that the Daoist was extremely strange and should not be mentioned.

Therefore, Granny Tang could only swallow her words helplessly.

Chen Huangpi was a little annoyed by Granny Tang's gaze.

He said resentfully, "Granny Tang, what are you looking at me for? It wasn't me who sucked your family's mountain god like this..."

"Well, it wasn't my master either!"

"My master went out to buy me candied hawthorn yesterday. He didn't have time to commit the crime!"

Chen Huangpi took out the candied hawthorn he hadn't been willing to eat as evidence.

Granny Tang's mouth twitched. She really wanted to say that your master, that existence, couldn't see a trace of cultivation, but in fact, he could go wherever he wanted with just a thought.

Besides, besides your master, who was either a person or an evil entity, who could even swallow a deity alive?

Chen Huangpi lowered his head guiltily.

But he also felt that this was the Pure Immortal Temple, his territory. They were the ones who should be guilty.

So, he puffed out his chest and said arrogantly, "Anyway, you must leave today. Otherwise, our agreement will have to be changed."

Granny Tang said, "How will it be changed?"

"You have to give me this much more!"

Chen Huangpi held up three fingers.

Granny Tang frowned. Three times the reward, they probably couldn't gather it within half a month.

"I want to add thirty percent!"

Chen Huangpi counted on his fingers, "I've already calculated. If you stay in my temple for one more day, you'll have to eat three more of my meals. But in business, I have to make a good profit from you. I want to add thirty percent."

"Don't think thirty percent is a lot. I haven't even counted your mountain god yet!"

As he spoke, Chen Huangpi walked to the fox mountain god, his eyes shining with cunning, and said, "You worship the mountain god, so you can't not offer sacrifices, right? I won't ask for money for the sacrifices. Anyway, I'll eat them when I'm hungry."

And just at that moment, the fox mountain god suddenly spoke, "Huangpi kid, are you short of money?"

Granny Tang was stunned.

She had called out to the mountain god for so long without any response.

How come the mountain god spoke as soon as Chen Huangpi came?

Chen Huangpi didn't know Granny Tang's thoughts. He said to the mountain god, "Of course. My master has gone mad. If I can't cure him, I'll have to take him to the outside world for treatment. I heard that people outside value money very much. You can't move an inch without money. Of course I have to save money."

He had already saved some money.

But not much, only the one string of cash from when the headless man with the Soul-Hooking Manual had bought his head.

It was definitely not enough.

The fox mountain god didn't know what to say for a moment.

It could only force its weak divine soul and praise against its will, "Huangpi kid, you are really filial. If the cultivators outside knew you were going to bring your master over and give them money, they would definitely be very happy."

Chen Huangpi shook his head, "I don't have enough money yet."

The fox mountain god said, "It will be enough soon. I sense that a group of cultivators, with many deities, are about to arrive at the foot of the mountain. If you keep them, you will definitely earn enough to treat your master's... illness..."

When it said the last word, "money," the fox mountain god took a big gulp of incense.

It was not afraid anymore.

Because deities with even more abundant incense than it had at its peak were coming.

Once they came, they wouldn't be able to leave.

At that time, with these deities around, the strange old Daoist wouldn't be staring at it and absorbing it!

And as if afraid that Chen Huangpi would refuse, the fox mountain god added at the end, "The leader is a woman, about eighteen or nineteen years old, and she's very beautiful."

Hearing this, the images and text of the evil art immediately appeared in Chen Huangpi's mind.

His face was red, and his mouth was dry.

His heart was pounding.

Chen Huangpi's mind swayed, and he thought to himself, "It's over, I want to kill someone again. Am I going to fall into the demonic path too?"

And this scene, in the eyes of the fox mountain god, made it bloom with laughter.

"Heh! It worked!"
