Chapter 369： Hui Zeng is possessed by the devil

His legend is not over yet. At the age of thirty-seven, he passed the test of a fourth-grade alchemist and became the only alchemy wizard in ten thousand years to become a fourth-grade alchemist before the age of fifty, which shocked the world.

At that time, an alchemy competition that caused a sensation throughout the Western Region happened to be held. As the only fourth-grade alchemist in the competition, he swept all the contestants and won the championship easily.

After the competition, a stunning girl walked up to him. The girl had delicate features, skin as white as snow, and eyes that were lively, as if she could speak.

Huizeng immediately recognized that she was a contestant in this alchemy competition. She was quite talented in alchemy. However, her time in learning alchemy seemed to be short, and she ended up in the finals.

“I am Qin Yuyou, the princess of Xiyue County in the Yanting Empire. We are from the same country. I often go to the Great Buddha Temple to offer incense. Can I ask you about alchemy from time to time?”

The girl blinked her eyes and gave him a playful smile.

Huizeng clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Of course it is possible. If the donor doesn't mind, the poor monk can accept you as his disciple."

“Hmph! I don’t want to be your apprentice.” The girl looked at him coquettishly, then ran away with a smile.

The two met because of an alchemy competition. This was the first time the two met. Since then, a person has entered his life.

The girl would break into the Great Buddhist Temple from time to time and ask him for advice on alchemy, and the two began to have more frequent contacts.

The two of them made elixirs together and went to the mountains to collect herbs together. Perhaps they had been in love for a long time, and they began to have a secret love.

While he was meditating, the girl would cover his eyes with her slender hands from behind him and burst into laughter.

When he fell asleep, the girl would lightly touch his nose with dogtail grass, and then run away with a smile.

But paper could not cover the fire after all. As time passed, bad rumors about the two of them gradually began to appear in the Buddhist temple.

One day the abbot called him to the Buddha statue, turned his back to him and said, "You should know the Buddhist prohibitions. You have violated the precepts."

He clenched his fists and said nothing. After a long silence, he finally left.

But he ignored the girl from then on.

While he was meditating, the girl covered his eyes and he said nothing.

His nose was tickled by dogtail grass while he was sleeping, but he was indifferent.

The girl comes every day with joy, but leaves disappointed.

The two of them did not say a word for a long time.

One day, the girl ran to him crying.

"Monk, there was a war between the Yanting Empire and the Huiyue Empire. Many people died, including my brother. Wuwu..."

…

“Monk, our country has been defeated, and the emperor wants to send me to get married, woo woo…”

…

“Monk, the wedding day is only ten days away. How about we elope? I only like you!”

…

“Monk, I’m going to get married in five days. You don’t open your eyes and look at me again. You are so cruel. I hate you! I will never come here again.”

…

On this day, the prayer beads in his hand were shattered on the ground, and people vomited blood. When he opened his eyes from meditating, his heart was confused.

That day, all the abbots of the Buddhist temple came to find him.

“Huizeng! When your master was out, he was plotted against by his abandoned disciple who had expelled him many years ago. When we arrived, it was already too late.”

“Your master has passed away now. He knew that you had an extreme temperament and had many extreme thoughts, so his last wish before his death was for you to practice the "Er Pure Corpse Slaying Technique", abandon all distracting thoughts, and concentrate on conquering demons."

After the old host finished speaking, he held a book in front of him with both hands.

Huizeng clenched his fists and his expression slowly became ferocious.

“The duty of eradicating evil is done! The duty of eradicating evil is done! This is the price of cutting the weeds but not the roots! The Buddhist concept of not killing is wrong!”

Huizeng roared like crazy, grabbed the "Er Qing Corpse Slaying Technique", turned around and walked away.

"Don't worry! I will fulfill my master's last wish and complete the "Er Qing Corpse Slaying Technique". I will let you see a different me."

Huizeng's voice came from afar, and his figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Walking to a deserted cliff, he recalled his master’s final words and looked up to the sky and roared:

“If I save the devil, who will save me?”

"If the Buddha doesn't save me, I will become a demon!" "Becoming a Buddha cannot kill demons, so it's okay if the Buddha doesn't do it!"

The master died because of his good deeds. At this moment, he seemed to have a profound enlightenment. He looked in the direction of the imperial capital, his eyes were full of tenderness, he clenched his fists and said: "Yuyou, wait for me..."

At this moment, he finally recognized his heart. He no longer wanted to be bound by the pedantic precepts of Buddhism. He just wanted to be himself and leave here with the person he loved most.

On this day, he practiced the "Er Pure Corpse Killing Technique", but instead of forcing all the evil thoughts out of the body, he broke the rules and forced out the good thoughts. On this day, he was completely possessed by the devil...

On the day of the imperial marriage, he stood in front of the wedding procession and carried away the tearful bride in full view of the public. The emperors of the two empires were furious and sent countless masters to hunt him down.

Under the endless pursuit of strong men, he finally stopped hiding his trump card and used the power of swallowing demons in full view of the public. Without a trace of kindness in his heart, he began to kill the pursuers.

The pursuit was **** for thousands of miles. Countless Gu kings from the two empires fell in this battle, and both suffered heavy losses.

Although he escaped from the pursuit of the two empires, the beauty died in his arms.

He sat on his knees in front of a barren mountain, in agony...

…

Recalling this memory, he shed two lines of tears without realizing it.

I don’t know if it came from the little medicine boy or from Duan Tianwu.

“How have you considered my proposal?”

At this time, Qin Manyuan walked into the cave, looked at his back and spoke.

"I want the female cultivator who looks exactly like Yuyou. This is my only condition." Duan Tianwu said.

Qin Manyuan didn't think for long before he said: "No problem, I will convince her. Even if she doesn't agree, it's not up to her. You can recover here first, and don't expose your identity when you go to the alchemy competition."

Duan Tianwu showed a disdainful smile: "No one can see through my disguise, and no one can steal the championship from my hands."

"Is there anything else? If there is nothing else, you can leave now."

Qin Manyuan didn't speak anymore and slowly walked out of the cave. The cave fell into silence again.

…

At the same time, Long Xuan was afraid that there would be another big change here, so he headed north and quickly headed towards the Tianfeng Empire.

At this time, in the Toad Space of Swallowing Heaven World, Long Xuan looked at the buds of the Evil-Warding Divine Bamboo that had sprouted out of the soil, and he nodded with satisfaction.

According to normal methods, it would be difficult for him to let the evil-warming bamboo seeds take root and germinate.

However, under the medicinal Gu's towering creation liquid, the seed was forced to sprout. Once the seed sprouted, the survival rate was greatly improved.

Medicine Gu is the best at growing elixirs. With Medicine Gu taking good care of it, he believed that nothing unexpected would happen to this evil-warming sacred bamboo tree and it would definitely thrive under the care of Medicine Gu.

However, occasionally the Tribulation Gu is needed to provide some nutrients for the Evil-Warding Divine Bamboo. The Evil-Warding Divine Bamboo needs thunder as nutrients, which is a nutrient that medicinal Gu cannot provide.

He can only trouble the Tribulation Gu for this matter. When the World Tree bears Thunder Fruit, he can free the Tribulation Gu.

After successfully planting the evil-proof bamboo on the wooden island, he walked back to the main island along the suspension bridge and found the location of the sword poison.

At this time, it was feasting on the corpse of a Gu insect.

The mantis's diet is all kinds of bugs, and the armor-breaking ability of the knife Gu requires it to swallow all kinds of bugs, and the owner needs to collect the corpses of all the Gu bugs and spirit bugs in the world for it.

Thinking about how to strengthen the ability of knife Gu, Long Xuan got a big headache.

How difficult is it to collect insect species and Gu species from all over the world? Many of the most powerful and top-grade Gu bugs have unique Gu recipes. He can collect them if he wants to.

Over the years since he opened a shop in Sin City, he has been frantically collecting all kinds of poisons and corpses of various poisonous insects. Although he has collected a lot of poisonous corpses, there are not many corpses of powerful poisonous insects that can be collected.

There is no shortcut to collecting the corpses of top-quality Gu insects. You can only grind them bit by bit over a long period of time. This is destined to be a long-term task.

“Have you finished eating? Come and transform after eating.”

Long Xuan took out the spirit-sealing bead from the storage ring. With the communication of soul power, a powerful sword intention soon floated out of the spirit-sealing bead.

Seeing this free sword intention, Dao Gu's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't even bother to eat the insect corpses in his hands. He threw away the half-eaten insect corpses and quickly flew towards the sword intention.

Long Xuan only felt a silver shadow pass before his eyes, and Xiaoyao Sword Intent disappeared.

The sword Gu that swallowed Xiaoyao Sword Intent flew to the World Tree and fell into a deep sleep on a thick branch.

For some reason, many of his Gu insects like to make their home on the World Tree.

Long Xuan smiled, finally turned and left... (End of this chapter)
