The Secret Way of Immortality

The outside of the glass bottle was shrouded in extremely thick white smoke, making it impossible to understand the situation.

However, as long as it was confirmed that the stomach-within-a-stomach was located in the Jailer's Hall, it wouldn't be too dangerous at least.

After realizing he was trapped, Ren Qing tried knocking with his hands, but as soon as he made contact with the solid surface, the information stream reacted.

【Little Man in a Bottle】

【Age: Eighty-three】

【Lifespan: Two hundred and fifteen years】

【Art: Man in a Bottle (Filth-Gathering Imp Bottle)】

The art called Man in a Bottle was extremely strange, causing Ren Qing to be surprised.

【Inscribed on a nameless ancient altar, cultivation requires innate two heads, placing the two heads in porcelain bottles, maintaining immortality with a special medicinal primer, one placed in a place of the three religions and nine streams, one placed in a private school, hanging high for three years to be refined.】

Since it's called a Filth-Gathering Imp Bottle, the Little Man in a Bottle might be able to alleviate the alienation and loss of control.

It's just that the other party is clearly not a good person, and his behavior is more like playing around. It's estimated that once you enter the stomach-within-a-stomach, it will be difficult to get out.

Ren Qing gave up the idea of ​​sitting in jail peacefully.

He knew that he had to find an opportunity to figure out the rules of the stomach-within-a-stomach, and then escape from it, otherwise he might be imprisoned for several years.

Ren Qing waited for a moment.

Suddenly, the bottle he was in shook, as if someone was carrying it while walking.

Ren Qing vaguely felt like it was an illusion, but it could affect the body, which showed that the Little Man in a Bottle was definitely in the Yin-Yang realm.

Seeing this, he tried to communicate with the separated soul, and a burst of tingling came from between his eyebrows, actually borrowing some of the abilities of the Twin Nightmare Demon.

"The space between my eyebrows can communicate with arts, is it related to the alienation of the brain by the Twin Nightmare Demon?"

Ren Qing's eyes seemed to see through the fog, seeing the bustling streets, the illusion should be somewhere in Sanxiang City.

But as the jar vibrated, the scene suddenly changed, like a human hell.

The residents walking on the street turned into non-humans, their appearances either rotten corpses, or half-human half-beast, and some even had their legs completely composed of more than a dozen deformed hands and feet.

The meat shops also sold human meat, the noodle shops cooked black long hair, and you could even see candied haws made of eyeballs on the stalls.

Ren Qing seemed to have become the Little Man in a Bottle, he was being carried by a skinny skeleton, swaying towards a certain place on the street.

What made him deeply puzzled was that the degree of alienation of the residents was different, and the children were relatively ordinary, without any strangeness.

Could this be the world in the eyes of the Little Man in a Bottle, easily distinguishing between the good and evil of people, the more evil, the more like a demon?

The skeleton brought the bottle into a dilapidated house, the floor inside was filled with bottles and jars, all of which were gorgeous glass bottles.

They were filled with human heads.

Ren Qing's jar was also placed among them, close to the edge.

He felt that such a real illusion should be derived from the memory of the Little Man in a Bottle, that is, what the other party had experienced.

What followed became even more bizarre.

When night fell.

Ren Qing could clearly hear strange murmurs in his ears, and the evil thoughts filling his heart were gradually stimulated and amplified.

"Smash the bottle, kill them all..."

"Kill, kill, kill..."

He could only try his best to endure, keeping himself in a state of meditation.

Many bottles around him began to shake at the same time, which showed that the human heads inside were all Jailer cultivators representing the stomach-within-a-stomach.

Just when Ren Qing thought he could rely on his will to get through it.

The skeleton came in again, this time he was carrying a bamboo basket filled with all kinds of flesh and blood, all of which were human limbs and fragments.

"Eat more, be blessed."

He took out the cover of the jar, and then stuffed the remaining value fragments into it.

The flesh and blood was not real, it actually represented the evil thoughts from the Little Man in a Bottle, which could be used to hide the dark side of the heart.

Ren Qing became恍惚, the situation was similar to the heart demon tribulation encountered when he was promoted to the realm, as if someone was constantly bewitching him.

He was still better.

After all, the soul was not alienated, he only needed to restrain his desires.

But the bottles next to him were different, the Jailers inside were all completely alienated and out of control, which was equivalent to fighting another self, how could they withstand the stimulation.

After several hours, rustling sounds rang out one after another, which were made by the Jailers in the bottles being swallowed by the demonic thoughts.

Ren Qing was deeply affected, but still retained a moment of clarity.

His separated soul sat cross-legged on the lotus leaf, chanting the contents of the No-Eyed Method silently with the main body.

The throbbing pain between Ren Qing's eyebrows became more and more intense, gradually giving rise to a feeling of waking up from a dream, but it was extremely difficult to truly wake up.

The No-Eyed Method was recited again and again, and even the passage of time had been forgotten.

Bang bang bang...

The moment Ren Qing heard his own heartbeat, his eyes opened.

But it was not the eyes of the main body, but the eye that had been alienated on the brain after being promoted to the Twin Pupils.

He found that he could only sense the existence of the brain, and immediately understood why the illusion formed by the art Man in a Bottle was so different.

Because this art mainly targets the brain, it turns the head into a glass bottle to imprison consciousness, so it will form the sensation of the body.

It can be called the brain in a bottle.

The evil thoughts of the Jailers in the other bottles were still constantly gathering, seemingly from the deliberate stimulation of the Little Man in a Bottle.

I thought it would be over if the consciousness was swallowed by the evil thoughts.

Unexpectedly, the Little Man in a Bottle opened his mouth with a strange smile and said: "The strange eats people, people eat the strange..."

Then cracks were all over the bottle, and the illusion gradually shattered, and the influence from the art disappeared like a tide.

Ren Qing returned to the dark room, and could still hear the roars coming from next door.

But this time it did not attract the non-toxic soul.

Ren Qing first checked his body, but found nothing unusual.

It seems that the illusion only targets the brain.

Ren Qing suddenly noticed at this time that the darkness in his eyes was gradually brightening.

It was not a change in the environment, but the recovery of the Twin Nightmare Demon's ability, and it felt like a rebirth compared to before.

Ren Qing blinked his eyes.

The perspective was constantly adjusted, and the pupils were like high-precision cameras.

One moment he was looking at the dust floating in the corner of the wall, and the next moment he was paying attention to the inconspicuous stains on the cuffs of his clothes.

The speed of the double pupils' rotation was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, as if it was a natural supernatural power.

Ren Qing guessed that the reason why he couldn't use the art after entering the stomach-within-a-stomach was because the connection between himself and the strange object was broken.

From this, it can be seen that the body is the "bottle" for imprisoning strange objects.

The Little Man in a Bottle should rely on absorbing the evil thoughts generated by the alienation of the monks to cultivate, and the relationship with the Jailer's Hall is more like each taking what they need.

The Jailer's Hall uses the Little Man in a Bottle to imprison the alienated and out-of-control monks, and also gives them some hope of suppressing the alienation.

The Little Man in a Bottle regards all the monks, including Ren Qing, as resources.

Of course, to construct the stomach-within-a-stomach, I am afraid that more than one art is needed, and the Jailer's Hall has indeed spent some thought.

If the alienated and out-of-control Jailer suppresses the strange object, he can completely control the art, and the alienation of the soul will be greatly alleviated.

The Little Man in a Bottle floated past the aisle, muttering and complaining that the person who came in was a monk who was not alienated and out of control at all.

Then the iron door in front of Ren Qing opened.

Ren Qing raised his eyebrows, and then slowly walked out of the room.

He stood in the dim aisle, and subtle voices came from behind each iron door, which seemed extremely strange.

Ren Qing's mind moved, although the other arts could not be used, the separation of the body and soul of the Twin Nightmare Demon was enough.

The main soul left the body and came to the door opposite, and could clearly see inside through the thick wall.

Inside the house, there was a figure sitting cross-legged about three meters tall, which could be described as having a tiger's back and a bear's waist, but the body had been completely eroded by alienation.

Not only was the skin purplish, the right arm was thicker than a normal person's waist, but the left arm was as thin as a chicken claw.

Strands of blood energy flowed out from the pores, forming a light veil around himself.

Just looking at the appearance, the man was undoubtedly an evil ghost, with a green face and fangs extremely ferocious.

However, from the other party's kind reminder, it can be seen that this person still retains good thoughts in his heart, and is not completely possessed.

The man's face twisted, becoming more and more unpredictable.

The vertebrae at the neck collided with each other, and after the head tilted slightly, a fist-sized bulge appeared on the shoulder.

The bulge grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and vaguely could see the facial features, but it was the appearance of an ordinary person.

The second head quickly took shape.

When the eyes of the head opened, it fell down like a ripe melon.

The head then grew a body and limbs, becoming a middle-aged man, with slightly similar eyebrows to the main body.

The Jailer regained consciousness, and the skin immediately turned blood red, and the killing intent spread out.

The expression of the doppelganger was grotesque, and said in a mocking voice: "Li Fangtan, you are me, I am you, you and I are divided into good and evil."

Li Fangtan narrowed his eyes, his mind still filled with malice.

He tried his best to endure, but the thick right arm still raised up.

"Li Fangtan, do you still remember that three years ago, you couldn't control yourself and killed a family of three who were walking in the mountains, they were not strange."

"And seven years ago, when you were cultivating the art, because the breath leaked out, two people were severely injured, they struggled for five days and five nights before they died."

"Stop talking!!"

"And..."

Li Fangtan's eyes became more and more red, and finally he could no longer restrain himself, and hit the doppelganger hard with his arm, the latter turned into minced meat.

Even if the doppelganger only had a head left, he was still shouting: "The alienation of your soul is getting worse, you are going to die, you are going to die..."

Li Fangtan stepped on the head, and the remaining flesh and blood wriggled like living things, trying to reintegrate into his body.

"Hehehehehehe."

A porcelain bottle suddenly appeared in the room, and the mouth of the bottle generated suction to swallow all the flesh and blood.

The Little Man in a Bottle smacked his lips with satisfaction.

Ren Qing went to check other rooms.

Those alienated and out-of-control Jailers would grow a second head, the more serious the alienation and loss of control, the more terrifying the doppelganger formed.

Some of the monks, if the Little Man in a Bottle hadn't taken action, they would have been killed by the doppelganger instead.

If they don't suppress the strange object for a day, they will continue to cycle through the process under the effect of the Little Man in a Bottle's art.

They have completely become leeks that are being harvested.

Ren Qing hesitated for a moment, could he use the Non-Action Daoist Temple to create an art to restrain alienation?

He turned around and returned to the room: "It's better to take the opportunity to completely suppress all the strange objects."
