Chapter 77 The biggest gain

At this time, Xiao Qing's whole body was torn apart, and the flesh and blood essence in her body was continuously absorbed by the formation, and condensed into various talismans.

The original function of this formation is to refine monsters into disposable magic weapons. Refining weapons is a delicate job, even if it is a one-time use, so it takes a long time.

Thanks to this, Xiaoqing is still alive.

Xiaoqing, who was just dying slowly and miserably, heard Bai Suzhen's words and swallowed the black Transformation Pill without any room for thought.

When the elixir enters the mouth, it instantly turns into a scorching hot airflow that quickly flows throughout the body.

The wounds that originally broke open healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, completely ignoring the damage caused by the formation.

This was just the beginning. As the injuries on his body recovered, Xiaoqing's figure as big as his fingers began to grow rapidly.

The recovery of mana allowed Xiao Qing to break through the control of the formation and return to his original shape.

Bai Suzhen could only shrink her body quickly. This cave could not accommodate two giant pythons that looked like hills. But I don't know if it was due to habit. After Bai Suzhen shrank her body, she climbed onto Dao Ran's right hand again and wrapped her tightly around it.

Daoran didn't notice anything wrong and looked at the huge green snake with all his attention.

Just relying on visual inspection, it is difficult to compare the green snake and the white snake, which one is thicker, but at this time, the green snake's scales are spread out like spikes, which is much scarier than the white snake.

Countless electric lights emerged from the body of the green snake, and the electric current danced wildly, directly tearing the green light of the demon refining array into pieces, and most of the various talisman and seal marks all over the cave were shattered.

It's a pity that Daoran still wants to copy this formation.

After Xiaoqing shattered the formation, she did not feel the joy of regaining freedom. Instead, she continued to howl miserably, because the electric light gushing out of her body not only did not decrease, but became more and more.

Daoran looked at the green snake with sparks and lightning in front of him, and made an uninformed comment: "Is this the catastrophe of transformation? It turns out it is not a tribulation thunder struck from the sky."

Bai Suzhen explained to Daoran: "According to the rules set by the sage, the cause and effect of calamity all originate from oneself, and the calamity thunder naturally comes from the inside out. Therefore, there is no way to overcome the calamity with the help of external objects, and can only be overcome by oneself. This transformation pill takes a different approach.

, to forcibly overcome the tribulation at the expense of one's own cultivation and longevity, it is nothing more than an exchange."

Daoran couldn't help but think of a passage from his previous life when he was watching Journey to the West.

Patriarch Bodhi taught the great sage the seventy-two transformations, not to let him fight with others, but to avoid three disasters.

Among them, wind and fire are the two disasters: fire is yin fire, which burns from under the Yongquan acupoint, penetrates directly into the mud palace, and turns the five internal organs into ashes; wind is wind, which blows from the fontanel into the six organs, passes through the Dantian, penetrates the nine orifices, and the bones and flesh.

When the sparse disappears, the body will resolve itself.

Both of these disasters arise directly in the body and cannot be avoided by digging a hole or hanging a lightning rod.

The same is true for the Demon Clan's Transformation Heavenly Tribulation. Every inch of flesh and blood that needs to be changed will give birth to Tribulation Thunder. This is tempering and transformation, and it is the necessary step for the Demon Clan to transform into human form.

Either you never change shape for the rest of your life, or you grit your teeth and carry it through.

The pain Xiao Qing endured at this time was a hundred times more severe than the demon refining array, and her body collapsed and reborn repeatedly after being washed away by the thunder.

Fortunately, this process did not take long, and the lightning began to weaken before long.

The huge green snake slowly became smaller, and finally the thunderous light in the sky dissipated, and a naked girl fell rapidly in mid-air.

Bai Suzhen flew out like lightning, transformed into a giant python again, and caught the girl.

In order to avoid suspicion, Daoran did not get close and asked from a distance: "Is your sister okay?"

"There is no need to worry about her life for the time being, but this forced tribulation has caused her cultivation to regress and her longevity to be greatly reduced. I'm afraid she only has ten years left to live." Bai Suzhen said regretfully.

Originally, the Transformation Pill was not so serious. Zhu Ying could still live for a hundred years after taking the Transformation Pill. However, Xiaoqing was severely injured by the Demon Refining Array first. After taking the Transformation Pill, he first healed his injuries and then resisted the catastrophe, which was very costly.

Much more.

He only has ten years left to live, which is really a big loss for a monster that can live for a thousand years.

Daoran didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only recite symbolically: "Amitabha."

Bai Suzhen cast a spell to heal Xiaoqing's wounds and couldn't care about anything else for the time being. Daoran was too embarrassed to watch the little girl without clothes, so she walked over to the two ghosts, the big-headed ghost Lu Ho and the long-tongued ghost Huaixin, and got close to them.

When Buddhists travel around the world, what they pay attention to is a predestined relationship.

It's rare to meet two ghosts by chance. This fate is not small.

Daoran has a way of dealing with people that he has honed in his previous life, as well as a talent for majesty, coupled with a super high charm value, it is easy to win the favor of others by deliberately dealing with him.

The big-headed ghost Lu Ti soon became brothers with Dao Ran, while the long-tongued ghost Huaixin remained taciturn and devoted himself to crafting the souls of Taoist Shi Chan and Zhu Ying.

The two souls were shackled and completely lost their ability to resist, but this was not enough. The long-tongued ghost took out a bunch of talismans and attached them to the two of them, completely blocking the power of the souls.

"Brother Lu Ti, are the ghost guards so cautious in their daily work?" Daoran asked.

"Hundreds of years ago, we were not so cautious. We would just put the soul-locking shackles on and take them away. But then something like the trouble in the underworld happened, and the underworld was turned upside down. Later, new rules were set. Regardless of how much magic power you had during your lifetime, you can practice cultivation.

Before the soul of the deceased is brought back to the underworld, a full set of bans must be imposed, which makes things a lot more troublesome.

"However, since the Great Sage became a Buddha, practitioners in the world have not died so frequently, and they have been busy."

Unexpectedly, he could hear news about the great sage. Daoran suddenly became interested and inquired: "In those days when the underworld was in turmoil, was the Buddha really so powerful that even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could not control him?"

"I have never seen it with my own eyes, but I have heard from several Yin Shuai adults that the Great Sage is really fierce, and even the top ten Yin Shuai can't stop a few sticks together. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva usually sits in the Infinite Hell, basically

Regardless of other things, the Great Sage never went to hell, but I think the Great Sage probably can't do anything to the Bodhisattva..."

The two chatted and gossiped, and the long-tongued ghost finally finished his work.

The big-headed ghost then said to Daoran: "Master Daoran, we brothers are going back to resume our lives. If you have any questions, please hurry up."

Daoran clasped his hands together and said gratefully: "Amitabha, thank you so much, brother Lu Ti."

Daoran walked to the souls of Taoist Zhu Ying and Shi Chan and asked, "Why does the Imperial Master have to kill Nie Zhengyan? He has been demoted to the prefect of Hangzhou and should not be a threat to the Imperial Master."

This is the question that Dao Ran wants to know the most. Everything that happened in Hangzhou City was because of the Imperial Master's hatred for Nie Zhengyan.

Even if you want to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, the price paid is too high. Don’t Master Qiansu think this deal is too bad?

Zhu Ying shook her head blankly, she had no idea about this at all.

However, Taoist Shi Chan, who had been useless, gave Dao Ran a clue.

"Master didn't tell me the reason, but I think it has something to do with the full moon night in March.

"Although Nie Zhengyan told the emperor that alchemy would harm the destiny of the country, many officials raised this opinion. Nie Zhengyan was just a minister at the time and was not worth mentioning at all.

"But after the full moon night of March 18th, Master directly ordered that Nie Zhengyan be demoted from the capital and his life must be taken. Apart from this, I don't know any other reason."

Full moon night?

It is very possible that Nie Zhengyan accidentally discovered the secret of Master Qiansu, but Nie Zhengyan was a mortal, so he did not notice anything unusual.

And this secret is very important to Qiansu Zhenren, so he wants to kill him again and again.

Daoran asked a few more questions, but couldn't get any other useful information. However, he dug out a book of weapon refining tips from Taoist Shi Chan's body, some unused talismans, and dug out a stone from Zhu Ying's body.

Demon elixir.

The weapon refining experience records Taoist Shi Chan’s own thoughts and inspirations, but there is no basic introductory content, and Daoran will not be able to learn it in a short while.

Seeing that there was no more money to be squeezed out, Daoran did not waste the time between the two ghosts.

When leaving, the big-headed ghost said enthusiastically: "If Master Daoran goes down there, I will definitely do my best to be a landlord."

Daoran thought to himself that it would be better not to meet him again for the rest of his life.

After bidding farewell to the ghosts, Daoran saw Bai Suzhen walking over with the sleeping Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing was still naked, wrapped around Bai Suzhen's snake tail.

Judging from the exposed skin, this snake demon should not be called Xiao Qing, but Xiao Bai. It is so white that it shines. It just looks a bit approachable. It would be perfect if it was more fierce.

"Master Daoran..." Bai Suzhen's voice brought Daoran back to his senses.

"Amitabha, it's my fault, my fault." Daoran quickly apologized. It was not appropriate to stare at a girl without clothes like this.

Bai Suzhen was not surprised. Compared with what Daoran had done, there was nothing much to say. For monsters, they usually don't wear clothes.

"Xiao Qing was able to save her life thanks to the Master's help. I thanked the Master on her behalf. My sister was greatly favored by the Master, and she has been assigned some tasks since then. As long as the Master crushes this thing, Bai Suzhen will definitely come regardless of the swords and mountains of fire."

The huge white snake twisted its body, and a white snake scale slowly fell down.

Daoran took over this white jade-like scale, and this was the biggest gain from this demon slaying—a Fahai-level summoned beast!

We just went down the embankment to eat. The good news is that the water has not risen and has receded a bit.

If this continues, the alarm should be lifted within a few days.
