I use myths to create immortality

Chapter 92: 91: The Dragnet Captures Tai Ming, the Great Ghost Emperor [Two Chapters Combined into One]

"I want to ask the old general, among those rescued from the evil hands, is there a woman named Qin from Lingyang, Jingzhou, who is about twenty years old?"

Hao Zha said that every time he defeated those evil forces, he could rescue a group of country children and women who had been abducted, deceived, or trafficked; he wondered if he had met Qin Yueru.

"A woman in her early twenties, surnamed Qin...what's her name?"

"Qin Yueru."

Hao Zha thought about it, then called the soldiers in front of the gate to go to the government office to get the household registration book. After carefully checking it for a long time, he shook his head and said, "No."

He pointed to the household registration and asked, "The missing woman from Qingtang Township, Ze County, Lingyang County, was 21 years old at that time; her father was Qin Rui, right?"

Qin Rui is Qin Yueru's alcoholic father.

Seeing Ji Yuan nod, Hao Zha shook his head and said, "This was reported by the local village elder Yang Xie. There were more than 20 missing women in Qingtang Township that year, but I definitely didn't encounter that group."

Many people disappeared in the area, and the village elders would of course report it to the government. Every time Hao Zha rescued a group of victims, he would refund the travel expenses of those who were nearby and let them go back on their own.

For those far away or with large numbers, the local government, prefects, county magistrates, village elders, etc. must be notified, and they will send soldiers and young and strong people to take them back home to collect them.

Therefore, each batch of victims will have their case recorded.

"There are many of these that have not been found. The thieves might be spies from Nanyue, Beiyang and other countries. They came to Dachen specifically to abduct people, and most of them were transported to other countries and sold. Only a few can be found." Hao Zha sighed.

Zhongzhou has a population of billions, but there are also many countries and a large geographical area, so population is also a scarce resource.

The Chen Dynasty was one of the largest countries in the southwest of Zhongzhou; it had thirteen provinces, more than two hundred counties, and more than three thousand counties; its total population was just over twenty million.

Even so, the Chen Dynasty had already become the absolute overlord among the more than 70 dynasties in the southwest and the millions of miles of land.

The neighboring big country, Beiyang Dynasty, was said to have 15 states and 4,700 counties. Its territory was as large as that of the Chen Dynasty, and it was rich in resources and was known as the overlord of Central China, but its total population was just 30 million.

The territory of Yue State was several times larger than that of Beiyang and Chen State combined, but the population under the jurisdiction of the government was only over three million.

This is probably because Dachen spans both sides of the Lancang River; it reaches the sea in the east; Wolong Ridge in the west, Yangsui Grassland in the north; and Kanyuan Lake in the south. The Lancang River flows for hundreds of thousands of miles, impacting the plains along the river. The land is extremely fertile, well developed, and the population is extremely dense.

Much of the territory of Yue State was barren mountains and wilderness, many places could not be cultivated, and there were many obstructions and poisonous insects; but basically all of it was rotten land.

These neighboring countries all coveted Dachen's fertile land and dense population; population is a strategic resource, especially women and children.

Hao Zha was curious about why Ji Yuan was asking about Qin Yueru, so Ji Yuan told him about Qin Yueru and asked him to keep an eye on her.

After listening to this, Hao Zha asked Ji Yuan and the other two to stay here and wait for news. In three days at the fastest and seven or eight days at the slowest, there would be news from Lingdong County.

When the time comes, we just need to capture the Taiming boy and torture him severely, and we can get the news from him.

Ji Yuan had decided to wait in Linbo; if Ji Yuan didn't leave, Chen Hai wouldn't leave either. Gu Lingmiao had no choice but to wait here.

……

Everyone was looking forward to it, and in the blink of an eye, they had been in Linbo for five days.

Finally, news came via carrier pigeon from Lingdong County that the encirclement was shrinking; the Taiming demon party had settled in Yanshan, Lingdong County.

Hao Zha Dang beat the drum to gather the troops. On the thousands-foot-long parade ground, the drum beats like thunder, the footsteps sound like the sky falling; the soldiers' uniform roars echoed for dozens of miles, with a majestic momentum.

"Roar! Roar!" Rows of soldiers wore red scarves on their heads; the hundreds of soldiers in the front row were extremely elite, wearing chain mail with mountain patterns, their long swords beating on iron shields; their long spears were like a forest of red cherries; the murderous aura rose up to the sky, making the creatures within dozens of miles feel suffocated and frightened.

Then came the Divine Crossbow Army; they were grouped in groups of five, carrying huge animal-head crossbows, the crossbows were as thick as rolling pins, and there were talismans engraved on them; there was a faint mysterious light, and there were about a hundred crossbows; there were five hundred soldiers, their armor shining in the sunlight, like heavenly soldiers and generals.

There are flags like a forest on both sides; horse banners are flying; from head to toe, both men and horses are covered in black armor; both men and horses only show their eyes; the long spears in their hands are two meters long, at least six or seven meters; they are wearing black cloaks; there are no more than three hundred riders in total, but they are extremely elite, and are called the Black Fir Iron Cavalry.

There was another battalion of Silver Spear Army. All the soldiers were tall, and did not wear heavy armor. They all wore talisman scarves. The long spears in their hands were at least 127 feet long, with blades three feet long. The spear shafts were all made of magical wood, and the whole body was as white as silver. They were called the Silver Spear Army.

Hao Zha raised his hand, and the drumbeats stopped; the nearly two thousand soldiers in the entire parade ground, both humans and horses, were silent, like rocks; the silence was terrifying.

There was only black smoke visible to the naked eye, which rushed up to the sky and lingered for hundreds of miles; this was evil spirit, the evil spirit of the military formation that could ward off ghosts and gods and weaken magic.

"My fellow brothers, what do you think of my troops?" Hao Zha was wearing fish-scale armor, a bright red cloak, and riding a tall divine horse. He was wearing a helmet and had a golden hammer as thick as a bowl and nearly three meters long, with a shovel-like and hammer-like end, placed on the saddle.

These three thousand divine crossbow soldiers are the Hao family's reliance for dominating Wuyang County and even Xiazhou. They can search the mountains and seas, slay demons and monsters.

There are only a few such armies in the entire Dachen, which is said to have an army of one million.

Therefore, Linbo County has no county magistrate; it is completely managed by the Hao family military headquarters; even the prefect of Wuyang County has to listen to Hao Zha.

"Senior brother, you have a veteran general in the army who is good at commanding troops. They are indeed elite. But Lingdong County is thousands of miles away from here, even if you take the shortest route. These troops..." Ji Yuan was a little worried about the speed of these troops.

It is very easy for a Qi Refiner to fly into the sky and hide underground if he is determined to escape. Unless his realm or magical powers are much higher than others, it is difficult to surround him.

Of course it's good to have an army; and this is no ordinary army; each of them has powerful energy and blood, and can burn the surrounding area several feet; when gathered into a formation, the murderous aura rises into the sky, and even a roar can make cultivators fall from the clouds and big monsters bow their heads.

If we can take these divine crossbow troops with us, we can surround an area of ​​hundreds or thousands of miles. At dangerous passes, we can place talisman crossbows, and with one strike of the crossbow, mountains will split and rocks will crack, and demons will be terrified.

It can ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"Haha, senior brother, you don't know; my Wuyang Divine Crossbow Army has the magic talisman of armor and horses passed down by the Taiwei, which allows us to travel thousands of miles a day. Otherwise, with the territory of Dachen covering a million miles, wouldn't people just march to death?" Hao Zha stroked his beard and laughed.

"The armor and horse magic talisman passed down by the Grand Commandant?" Upon hearing this, Chen Hai and Gu Lingmiao were both curious about the 'Grand Commandant'.

As for things like the Armor Horse Talisman, they had no use for it and naturally had never seen it; it was also the first time that Ji Yuan heard of it.

"The magic talisman for armor and horse is a two-leaf iron talisman. Each soldier holds two, and can travel three thousand miles a day." Hao Zha ordered all the soldiers to wear the magic talisman.

The soldiers took two iron leaves from their waists, inserted them under their leggings and tied them up; not only the people, but also the horses; they clamped the talismans and all the three armies made finger gestures.

"My fellow brothers, please follow me closely!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hao Zha pinched his fingers with one hand, and his magic power floated for dozens of miles, enveloping all the soldiers. In an instant, flat yellow smoke rose up, covering the sky and the sun.

In an instant, Hao Zha and his three thousand crossbow soldiers and cavalry, like a long yellow dragon of smoke, were at the end of the mountains in the blink of an eye.

It turns out that one step is more than ten miles away.

Ji Yuan and the other two quickly followed behind.

The Jiama magic talisman is very fast, and it actually uses Haozha's magic power; its speed is almost the same as Jiawu, or even faster.

"What a great armor and horse talisman. I guess that commander is also a descendant of our great sect. Otherwise, how could he have such a wonderful method?" Gu Lingmiao exclaimed.

She didn't know that the general that Hao Zha mentioned was the ancestor of the Yin family.

"It's impossible for everyone to have this kind of talisman. Otherwise, Da Chen is said to have millions of troops. How many talismans would it need?" Chen Hai did not comment.

His Chen family has been stationed in Jingzhou for generations, and although they belong to a family of civil officials, they still know more about these things than Lingmiao and Ji Yuan.

The Chen family is one of the most powerful families in Jingzhou; there are no less than a thousand Qi-refining practitioners in the family; but they can only afford to maintain 500 divine crossbow soldiers armed to the teeth as a facade, and mix in various miscellaneous troops, claiming to have 10,000 divine crossbow soldiers.

Dachen had a dense population and strong national strength; it recruited soldiers to the utmost; it could really recruit millions of troops by drafting one out of every three or two out of every five; it also maintained a standing army of over a million at normal times.

However, there are not many armies that can slay demons, eliminate evil practices, or even fight against Qi Refiners. There are only tens of thousands of people in the entire Da Chen at ordinary times. These armies became famous for the Divine Crossbow passed down by the Xuanwei Sect, and thus they are collectively called the Divine Crossbow Army.

This kind of talisman crossbow is very powerful; Ji Yuan had seen it in the spiritual realm; Xuanjun taught two monks who had practiced magic for more than ten years, and with the help of two talisman crossbows, they killed seventy or eighty monks, including some with high magic power.

Other countries and dynasties also had elite troops with this special military number, such as the Feixiong Army, Moye Army, Black Cloud Army, Changsheng Army, Wuyong Army, Jinjie Army, Tianwu Army, etc. Each army had as many as 100,000 people and as few as over 10,000 people.

But each of them is a brave elite carefully selected from millions of soldiers of various countries; they also passed down the secret military qi and blood methods, and the imperial court provided massive amounts of elixirs every year to cultivate qi and blood. Everyone has a strength of ten thousand pounds, and their bodies are engraved with blood talismans, and each of them is worth a thousand men.

The leaders of teams of a hundred or more are basically monks who practice fighting techniques and are proficient in special arts.

What's more, all weapons are magical and powerful; with exotic beasts as mounts, their individual combat power may not be as good as Tongxuan's.

Once all the armies gathered together, the murderous aura of a hundred thousand divine crossbow troops soared thousands of miles into the sky, and even condensed into all kinds of ten thousand feet high killing god Dharma images, instantly suppressing the world. Not to mention Tongxuan, even the lower-ranking Dao Miao ancestors would not dare to act presumptuously.

Fortunately, the special type of troops like the Divine Crossbow Army consumes a huge amount of spiritual medicine. Maintaining 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers accounts for two or three tenths of the annual fiscal revenue of the State of Chen.

Moreover, the imperial court of Dachen gave quotas to the divine crossbow army to the big families in each state and county, and let each family pay for and provide elixirs to feed and train the divine crossbow army.

Most of the time, the Da Chen central government would only maintain tens of thousands of divine crossbow troops; unless there was a war to annihilate a country, it would expand frantically, gamble all its finances and thousands of years of savings, and could only raise hundreds of thousands of troops for a short period of time.

This army of divine crossbows, numbering less than 100,000, is the foundation for Da Chen to suppress the world, and it is a national treasure under the full control of General Yin.

Hao Zha is a veteran general who has served in several dynasties. He is stationed in Linbo and has three thousand soldiers with divine crossbows. In the dozens of counties in the entire Xiazhou, no one dares to compete with him. He can be said to be the pillar of the entire Xiazhou.

But these three thousand divine crossbow soldiers are just a title. In fact, there are only about five or six hundred real divine crossbow soldiers. The Hao family cannot afford to support more of them, and if they are mixed in with the miscellaneous ones, there are only three thousand of them.

That is to say, among the dozens of counties in the entire Xiazhou, one of the thirteen states, there are only five or six hundred troops capable of fighting.

Of course, the ability to fight refers to an army that can fight against cultivators and deal with threats such as Qi Refiners and demons; the Divine Crossbow Army is not needed to suppress unruly people.

About a day and a half.

By the next morning, they had arrived at the mountains near Lingdong County and Dayan County.

Outside the endless, green forest, there were densely packed state and county soldiers lined up in long lines. There were also many strange people and local family monks, who led hunting dogs, lions and tigers in their hands to search and block the shallow areas of the forest.
Hao Zha led the soldiers to take off their armor and set up camp for repairs in a river valley seven or eight miles in front of the mountain. Ji Yuan and several others also stayed in the camp.

Hao Zha said to everyone: "My fellow brothers, that mountain is called Xiaoyan Mountain. It is more than 700 miles wide and nearly 1,000 miles long, spanning three counties."

"According to the local governor, there are about 200 bandits. Among them, there are more than ten core members, and they have two crossbows. The leader is definitely the demon leader, the witch Tai Ming." Hao Zha pointed to a mountain shaped like a lying inkstone seven or eight miles away.

"Why not go up the mountain and catch the thief directly?" Ji Yuan was a little anxious. He could already see the faint aura of the cultivators in the mountain.

There are about three streams of cultivators' aura in a peak in Yanshan Mountain, only fifty miles away from here. I think they are a group of demons led by Taiming Fairy.

"No. The place where the evil thieves live is called Fenghui Cave. It is deep in the valley, with only one foot wide entrance. There are two talisman crossbows at the exit."

"The bee cave is deeply embedded in the ditch. If it flies down from the sky, it will be a living target for their talisman crossbows. If it enters through the main gate, it will also be suppressed by the talisman crossbows."

"In addition, there are three bandit leaders who are good at sorcery. The leader is Tai Ming Xian Po, who is proficient in illusion and flying stick techniques. In recent years, for some reason, she has been lucky enough to refine a magical weapon called the Ghost Banner, which can emit a black light several feet long and penetrate dozens of miles. Anyone hit by it will die instantly."

"In addition, he has two guardians on his left and right. They are called the Black and White Mourning Envoys. They are as fast as lightning and each of them has a black and white mourning stick. They are extremely skilled in martial arts. If they hit someone, they will faint and their life or death will be unknown."

"Junior Brother Ji!" Gu Lingmiao pressed the shoulder of Ji Yuan who was about to walk out.

However, before Hao Zha finished speaking, Ji Yuan had lost his patience to listen and was eager to capture Tai Ming, the two black and white envoys, the three evil thieves, extract their souls and refine their spirits, and torture them to find out the whereabouts of his sister-in-law.

"Brother, the evil thief is trapped in Yanshan Mountain. He is just an ant in the trap. If you are allowed to escape today, it will be the fault of the three of us. Don't be impatient. These evil ways should not be underestimated. If you are not careful one day, you will lose your life. Who will go to find your sister-in-law?"

Most people in the cultivation world are cold and heartless; Gu Lingmiao was touched by Ji Yuan's character; but she held down Ji Yuan, who was anxious to think of Yanshan.

Ji Yuan gradually calmed down after hearing this. What Gu Lingmiao said made a lot of sense. The evil demons often practiced strange and evil magic, which was very difficult to defend against.

If you are not careful, you may end up in a disaster.

"Brother Hao, what are you going to do?"

"My fellow brothers, just follow my arrangements." Hao Zha ordered the drum to be beaten and went into the tent.

Soon, all the generals of the Hao family, and the civil and military officials of Jingzhou and Lingdong County arrived at the big tent and lined up in several rows.

"Sir He, I wonder if the legal net, the heavenly net, and the summoned monks and strange people are all ready?" Hao Zha asked the governor of Lingdong County.

"Reporting to Lord Hao, the sixteen families in Lingdong County have a total of more than 500 young talents, and they have donated ten legal net crosses and ten heavenly net crosses. In addition, there are more than a thousand heroes and extraordinary people in various counties of Lingdong who have responded to the call for help, and they are all willing to come to the court to help eliminate the evil thieves!" replied the white-haired prefect.

There is no shortage of cultivator families in Lingdong County; each family is descended from a cultivator family; headed by the prefect He family, there are a total of sixteen families, and every family contributes.

The so-called "the court has the hearts of the people" refers to the hearts of the people of these aristocratic families and clans.

I'm not referring to the ordinary people, they are just cattle and horses.

Therefore, when there is something wrong with the imperial court, the local families and clans still have some loyalty. If it does not violate the fundamental interests, they will be very considerate and will contribute manpower and effort.

Things like the Law Net and the Heavenly Net are only created by powerful families or forces; they are specifically designed to prevent monks and demons from escaping.

It is made of steel cables as thick as arms, engraved with seal characters, and launched into the sky using bamboo tubes. It is called the French Net, but its effect is rather poor.

Going one step further, using exotic beasts to spin silk, and after practicing magic, it can form a disc when gathered and spread out into the sky, forming an invisible net. This is more advanced, and because it is like a smoke net, it is called "Tianluo".

Neither the French Net nor the Heavenly Net can be used by one person.

The magic net is divided into eight or sixteen parts; each part requires at least ten monks with magical powers to cast spells and pull it open; a small magic net that can cover fifty miles requires eighty people; a large one that can cover hundreds of miles requires one hundred sixty people.

The range of the Heavenly Net is even wider; a large one can cover a thousand miles, or even tens of thousands of miles; a small Heavenly Net requires more than three hundred monks to cast spells before it can be opened.

The magic net prevents the monks from escaping underground; either by moving like a god or flying at low altitude, so it is called the underground net.

Tianluo can soar to a height of thousands feet, and is specifically designed to prevent monks and demons from escaping.

The ten crosses of the net are enough to surround the entire Yanshan Mountain and make it impossible for anyone to get in or out.

Let the group of demons have nowhere to escape, no way to go to heaven, and no door to enter the earth.

This is Hao Zha’s plan.

Now that the materials and manpower are sufficient, Hao Zha is very satisfied: "Great! This time we must make sure these thieves have nowhere to escape!"

"Sweep away Xiaoyan Mountain! Sweep away Xiaoyan Mountain!!" The soldiers outside the tent roared like thunder, with overwhelming momentum, like heavenly soldiers and generals.

Hao Zha picked up the command arrow and ordered the army, monks from various families, local natives, wizards, strange people, etc.
Set off and make arrangements according to the order. First, order the family monks, strange people, and wizards to take action. There are nearly two thousand people, all of whom have magical powers; together they set up the sky net to cover the entire Yanshan Mountain.

He also ordered the Divine Crossbow Army to set out in batches.

There are not many exits from Yanshan, only about ten or so. Two talisman crossbows are set up at each of these exits to ensure that the monster cannot escape.

In order to prevent the leader of the evil spirits from escaping, twenty talisman crossbows were placed on the tops of the surrounding high peaks. Once the thieves escaped and returned to the cave, they would be nailed to death at the cave entrance.

Monks from various forces received the order together; all around Yanshan Mountain, war drums resounded like thunder and morale was high.

After several hours, the clear sky over the Yanshan Mountain thousands of miles away was no longer there; instead, it turned into all kinds of colorful smoke and clouds, which were extremely beautiful, like a rainbow pot lid, covering the entire Yanshan Mountain.

The mountains and peaks are not green and lush; instead, they are filled with murderous aura and turned into pitch-black and gray. This is under the cover of the ground net, stretching for thousands of miles.

Deep in Yanshan Mountain, the monster from Fenghui Cave did not try to stop it; nor could he try to stop it; he could only watch as the dragnet surrounded the entire Yanshan Mountain.

"Boom, boom, boom" the war drums sound like thunder; war clouds fill the sky; soldiers' swords and spears are like a forest; armor shines in the sun and is lined up in all directions.

The Qi-refining practitioners either ride exotic beasts, or ride on tigers and leopards; some hold floating dust; some hold magical weapons; and they guard the mountain pass.

From time to time, crossbow arrows were shot out from Yanshan Mountain. Activated by the magic crossbow, they could actually break through the air for several miles and penetrate into the formation, but they were too far away and did not hit anyone.

Instead, it collapsed a section of the dam about seven or eight hundred feet behind the general formation. The divine crossbow was the national treasure of Dachen, and it was indeed very powerful.

The Hao family's divine crossbow army, with hundreds of divine crossbows, also fought back. The crossbows were as sharp as thunderbolts. The crossbow arrows, as thick as arms and more than ten feet long, could be shot seven or eight miles away. They could break rocks or ancient trees as soon as they touched them. Their power was extremely powerful.

Ji Yuan and the other two followed Hao Zha and walked out of the military formation together.

Hao Zha shouted to the mountain: "Tai Ming, my little boy, I have laid a net of heaven and earth, how dare you resist? Why don't you turn your back on me and surrender as soon as possible?"

With the blessing of magical power, the old voice traveled far away and echoed throughout Yanshan.

"Don't be so arrogant, old man. Things change over time. My old immortal has the protection of heaven and earth. He has the power of the Great Lord of the Netherworld. When I am free, the heavenly soldiers with banners will cover the universe, and the royal army of millions will sweep away the filth of the world. We will rush into the world of the living to wipe out all your filth!!"

The voice was shrill, like that of a eunuch, coming from deep within Yanshan Mountain, and was arguing with Hao Zha.

Ji Yuan asked Hao Zha: "Is this Tai Ming's child?"

"No; Tai Ming is a proud and arrogant kid; he won't talk to others easily." Hao Zha shook his head.

It’s either Tai Ming or the two envoys of black and white.

Ji Yuan was standing in front of the army, gazing across a distance of dozens of miles. In his eyes, there were layers of red light, flames like lightning, breaking through the illusion.

A sharp eye.

You can clearly see the beehives on the mountain, filled with layers of black smoke and a deadly aura, which is extremely cold and gloomy.

A man with a pale body, about ten feet tall, dressed in white, holding a thing that looked like a torture stick or a funeral club, stood at the entrance of the cave.

There is a negative energy surrounding his body; he doesn't look like a living person in the world of the living; instead, he looks more like a ghost; his aura is similar to that of someone with magical powers of hundreds of years.

"Where do these people come from?" Ji Yuan frowned slightly.

It was the first time he saw a ghost.

In other words, something like a ghost appeared in broad daylight.

This is probably because the souls of mortals are weak; when a person dies, it is like a lamp being extinguished, and the soul is blown away by the wind and broken into powder and returns to heaven and earth.

This is also why the transformation of tribulations, or reincarnation, is the privilege of the powerful.

There is no such thing as the underworld in this world.

Those who are above the level of Dao Miao can cultivate their primordial spirits that have been tempered a hundred times, and have bodies that are indestructible through all calamities. After their lifespan ends, they will not fall into the cycle of reincarnation. With their great supernatural powers, they can snatch death from the books and reincarnate directly without entering the ghost gate. They can also recover their memories and quickly recover their cultivation.

As for ordinary people, even the profound and ordinary cultivators, they are unable to and are not qualified to transform their tribulations.

There is no underworld; no reincarnation.

But ghosts and the underworld still exist.

It is said that the underworld is a thousand times larger than the four poles and eight wildernesses, and is endless; it is the shadow side of the universe.

A small mound a few meters high in the human world can project the image of a mountain thousands of miles away in the underworld. It is extremely exaggerated, but not real, because there is very little material existence in the underworld and it is extremely mysterious.

Ji Yuan read tens of thousands of volumes of Buddhist scriptures and secret books, but found few records about the underworld; it was extremely mysterious and terrifying.

There is even more than one supreme being in the underworld; they have attained the state of being invulnerable to all calamities, and their status is equal to that of the Immortal Hunyuan Patriarch and the Great Saint.

"This group of monsters have been roaming around Zhongzhou for more than a hundred years, and we don't know their origins. We only know that they believe in a sacred figure called [Ghost Emperor Hades]," Hao Zha said thoughtfully.

"It is claimed that there is no sun in the underworld, that the tenth moon is in the sky, that the Great Lord has descended to the world and rules over the heavens; it is also claimed that people hate life and death and should go to the underworld, where they will enjoy infinite happiness and blessings under the seat of the Great Ghost Emperor..."

"This doesn't sound right, it sounds like something from the underworld or some evil spirit; it can mislead people." Ji Yuan nodded.

"That's right. These people don't care whether others believe in her bullshit Ghost Emperor or not. If they don't believe in her, they will skin them, pull out their tongues, and burn them. It's very cruel."

"Such a vicious party deserves to die." Everyone frowned when they heard this.

"The Great Ghost Emperor? Is there really such a saint?" Ji Yuan fell into deep thought.

With Ji Yuan's level of Taoism, he could sense the energy of living beings hundreds of miles away; but he did not sense his sister-in-law's energy from the mountains.

Hao Zha shook his head: "Who knows? No one has ever been to that damn place."

In this world, there is no such thing as someone going to the underworld after death.

Death is death; it’s the end of everything; that’s why everyone wants to seek immortality; they go crazy in pursuit of immortality.

But how difficult is it to achieve immortality?

The lifespan of one Qi is one thousand five hundred years; the mystery of the Tao lasts for more than ten thousand years; and the mystery of the Tao lasts for more than one hundred thousand years.

This is the limit.

He is the innate god and devil; he can be considered the darling of heaven and earth.

It still only has a lifespan of hundreds of thousands of years, or at most a million years.

The so-called Taiyi and Daluo can achieve immortality through their cultivation; even if they are reduced to ashes, they can be resurrected instantly on the spot; they possess great powers and magical abilities that are no less than those of the innate gods and demons.

Even if the founder of Hunyuan Sect took action, he could only suppress or exile it, but could not kill it.

What does it mean to be immortal and indestructible? This is it.

But such an awesome existence still died of old age.

From the ancient times to the present, through the endless time, it has been verified that there are only a handful of twenty or so people who can truly live forever, be immortal, withstand all calamities, be indestructible, and have infinite power.

Ji Yuan has the legacy of Chinese mythology and many magical weapons and supernatural powers of the founder of Hunyuan Sect. He can defeat all his peers, but now he is still troubled by the three disasters.

Even Ji Yuan has it so difficult; let alone the natives of this world.

In my previous life, I read ancient novels; what troubled the ancient gods and immortals in China was the so-called Hongmeng purple energy, which resulted in there being only six Hunyuan saints.

In this world, to become an immortal means to achieve the status of the founder of Hunyuan Sect; one does not need any purple energy. Below the level of immortals, no matter whether they are Taiyi or Daluo, none of them can be immortal.

So what troubles the gods is how to achieve immortality and who can endure longer.

No matter how powerful you are; no matter how your magic weapon can destroy the world; no matter how handsome and handsome you are, your only hope is to scare people to death; but what does it matter? You will eventually die.

The Three Sovereigns of ancient times; each of them was invincible in a certain time and space; their reputations were so terrifying; the founder of the Hunyuan Sect claimed that he could converge the timeline and go back in time and space, but he did not dare to go to the time and space of the Three Sovereigns; but what could he do?

In addition to Yuanhuang's enlightenment and becoming the strongest person in the six domains.

The other two emperors have all died tens of thousands of years ago.

There is a toilet next to the dilapidated Suihuang Temple in Yanshan County, and there are children peeing on the rotten stone statue of Suihuang.

As I pondered and felt melancholy, the encirclement gradually shrank.

When Feng returned to the cave, some monsters would break out from time to time. They would be nailed to death by powerful crossbows not far from the cave, and would be beaten into pieces by the divine crossbows.

But the leader of the demon gang in Fenghui Cave was still making trouble and refused to surrender, still guarding the entrance of the cave and confronting.

The bees return to their caves and guard them like iron barrels.

It would be very easy for Ji Yuan to take them down, but doing so would expose his great ability to move mountains and fill the sea, and all his disguises would also be exposed; returning to the sect in the future would cause too much trouble.

Anyway, these people can't escape this time; there is no way to heaven, no door to earth, and there are Ji Yuan, Ling Miao and others to rescue them, so there is no need to rush.

Even if the Taiming witch died, Ji Yuan had to cast a spell to collect her soul.

Because his cave was just missing a wick, so he used the magic fire to burn it to warm her up first.

Little Tai Ming is about to die; Ji Yuan has to find a treasure to feed her that can nourish her soul and prolong her life.

Just to keep her inside the wick a little longer, to keep her warmer, at least, she should be burned for a thousand years.

Deep in the dark beehive, a white-haired old woman with a walking stick in her hand shuddered for no reason from the bottom of her heart.

"Old immortal, the dog soldiers are approaching, let's fight them!" A fat man with a burly figure, as tall as a bear, was guarding the entrance of the cave with an iron fork in his hand.

There were seven or eight young women and children in the cave, huddled together in fear.

The two messengers, black and white, were waiting on the side, holding mourning sticks.

"It seems... they are determined to kill me, the ancestor!" Tai Ming Fairy's eyes were red, and her skinny hands were tightly grasping the crutch.

"Old Immortal, what should we do with these mortals?" asked the Black Evil Envoy.

"Then let them go to see the Great Master! Hahaha!" Tai Ming Fairy wrinkled her cheeks and laughed crazily.

"do not want!"

"Old Immortal, please spare us!" The young women were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They huddled together, hugging their children who were even more terrified.

Tai Ming laughed more and more crazily; "Hahaha! Didn't you say you wanted to learn magic from me? Hahahaha..."

"It's a pity that they don't give you time to learn immortal techniques and gain great supernatural powers..."

"Well, how about you turn into ashes, your flesh and blood become weak, and follow me to the netherworld to become immortals? Hahaha!"

The officers and soldiers outside and the strong men of the human race were getting closer; the Fairy Tai Ming was not afraid at all, but became more and more excited.

She walked up to the beautiful young woman with tears in her eyes, bright eyes and white teeth, and scratched the young woman's snow-white cheek with her old and skinny nails, and drops of tears fell on her fingers.

"Your name is Juan'er, right? You came with me from Xiaoyangou Township. The old immortal remembers you. Don't cry." Tai Ming's face was gentle and kind as he wiped the tears from Juan'er's face.

"You said your husband died, and your husband's brothers bullied you. They raped you every time, and your father-in-law also tried to have an affair with you. Finally, a lame man in the village also wanted you, but you refused, so they told everyone that you were a slut..."

"Grandma knows you were forced to do this. You wanted to become an immortal and gain power, right? Haha, good kid. It was all caused by those greedy, lustful, jealous, hateful, and resentful people."

"Don't be afraid, recite the Great Ghost Emperor's Sutra; you will become celestial beings in the flames, with all kinds of wonderful appearances, immortality, and leave behind this ugly and dirty human body..."

“No…don’t…” Juan’er looked at the evil followers who kept building up firewood around her, her expression becoming more and more frightened.

"Pa!" Tai Ming's face suddenly became gloomy and he slapped Juan'er on the cheek.

Juan'er fell to the ground screaming in pain. The Taiming Fairy, who had a kind face just now, grabbed her hair and lifted her up.

Juan'er screamed in pain as her head was lifted up. In front of her was the ugly face full of wrinkles. She was extremely frightened.

The kind-hearted Tai Ming Fairy has never been so scary.

"Be obedient! You all must be obedient!!" Tai Ming said.

The voice is cold.

The other women and children were so frightened that they huddled together and kept nodding their heads.

Juan'er didn't dare to resist, nor could she resist, so she could only nod.

The Fairy Taiming's face became more kind; she smiled and touched the place where she had just hit her: "It doesn't hurt, does it? It doesn't hurt, let me blow on it for you."

He looks crazy, like a madman.

"You must recite the Great Ghost Emperor Sutra to see the Great Emperor, and be reborn as a Yaksha, a celestial being, with various wonderful appearances."

"If you don't recite, you won't be able to see the great master, and you won't be able to transform into a Yaksha or a heavenly being..."

As she spoke, Tai Ming Xian Po stood up and waved her hand: "Light the fire, send them to see the Great Venerable first!"
