Chapter 101: Three Years Out of Seclusion, the Wind-Fixing Gu Dragon

Three years passed in a flash.

Quhuang County has returned to peace since the last major disaster.

The aftereffects of the demonic tide have now all disappeared.

Ding dong dong…

There is construction going on everywhere inside and outside Quhuang County.

The ground was filled with smoke and dust, and people were coming and going.

Stones were transported from the deep mountains and turned into bluestone slabs in the hands of craftsmen to pave the road.

All the blocked ditches on both sides were dug and expanded.

The city looked brand new, and the previous damp and foul smell had disappeared.

Under the scorching sun, Old Zhang put down his hoe, hid under the shade of a tree, picked up a bowl of mung bean soup and drank it in three or two gulps, then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"What is the Taoist priest of Jiuyou Temple in the city thinking? He spends all day digging and repairing roads for no reason."

"Never mind. After working this month, I won't have to worry about food this year. Remember to go to the land god temple to get food later."

"Nonsense, how can I forget this."

After a short rest, Lao Zhang picked up his hoe and joined the busy digging team.

The master of the Taoist temple cannot be deceived. His eyes are so sharp that he can see anyone who is lazy.

Jiuyou Temple.

The mountain gate is majestic and the handwriting is wild.

Next to the Jiuyou Temple is the Tudiye Temple, filled with incense and smoke rising into the sky.

Radiating outward from the temple and the pavilion, all of them are prosperous and lively places.

Teahouses, shops, and markets were established in just a few years, forming a prosperous urban landscape.

At the top of a teahouse, there was only one table with two women and one man sitting there.

One of the little girls kept telling the two about her policy blueprint, and it was impossible not to notice her pure white eyes.

"Master said that this is called work-for-relief. Old Man Xuanying is responsible for attracting foreign investment, attracting merchants to come here, boosting demand, and accommodating more unemployed people to the handicraft industry."

"I see... You are really far-sighted..."

Jin Jun secretly took note of it in his heart. It was truly a genius to have such a trick.

He sat quite far away from Zhao Xianglu.

Ever since he witnessed Xu Yang's ruthless methods last time, Jin Jun was completely scared and was convinced by this guy. Even if his master was furious, he still did what he wanted.

In order to avoid Xu Yang's misunderstanding, he made up his mind to withdraw from the "relationship" between Zhao Xianglu and Xu Yang.

Jin Jun came to explain the situation in person. Xu Yang was stunned for a long time, probably because he was moved by himself.

"Faith has this kind of use." Zhao Xianglu was speechless for a long time. As a Shinto practitioner, he was not even as good as Xu Yang.

Three years ago, Jiuyou Temple had already started doing this.

At that time, I felt that Jiuyou Temple was unnecessary and a waste of money.

Doing things for mortals does not help improve your cultivation, and it is a waste of energy.

Now it seems that Xu Yang's plan is very profound.

Gaining faith by distributing benefits will ultimately result in a group of lazy people waiting to receive food every month.

The method of work-for-relief can integrate the belief in the God of Land into the lives of the people.

This place has become a prosperous area, attracting more foreign beliefs.

If I had not checked the statue of the land god again and again, I would have thought that Xu Yang was also a cultivator of the way of incense.

This incident made Zhao Xianglu realize the importance of a fixed territory.

The county government has a large population and sufficient resources, but it also has to compete with others for faith, so it is not as stable as a small place like a county.

Unfortunately, the slots are now full, and all 26 counties in Dijie County have owners.

"No, I must convince Xu Yang to give me some of the territory." Zhao Xianglu came back to his senses and said to Qingping, "Little sister Qingping, has the master of the temple come out of seclusion?"

"No news."

"Where are the others who can speak?"

"That's me." Qingping showed her big white teeth, looking contented.

"That's it."

Let's wait for Xu Yang to come out. Although this girl looks innocent, she is actually very shrewd.

In the quiet room, it is the center of the underworld.

The Yin energy formed a vortex and slowly poured into Xu Yang's body.

Xu Yang's face was pale and his lips were black.

There was not a trace of life in his body.

There were rows of large black altars placed around, with strange rustling sounds coming from the altars.

At the four corners of the quiet room stood tall three-headed corpse Vajra, each of them had the combat power of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

These are the results of Xu Yang's practice during this period.

And Xu Yang's soul is still practicing in the underworld.

Suddenly, a light came on in the room.

A translucent shadow jumped out from the dark soil. It was a smaller version of Xu Yang, with a golden sword protecting his head.

The villain brought out a lot of red energy from the underworld.

The quiet room turned from green to red, and from cold to spiritually cold.

All the red energy was poured into the altar, and the soul returned to the body.

Xu Yang stood up suddenly and walked to one of the big black altars.

The surface of the black altar glowed with cinnabar light, faintly forming a strange formation.

There were constant noises inside, like insects crawling and biting, so densely packed that it felt like an insect nest.

Xu Yang sensed it and saw that the inside of the jar was indeed filled with densely packed insects.

Centipedes, centipedes, poisonous snakes, millipedes, earthworms and other long-bodied insects are fighting each other. The scene is even more brutal than a human battlefield.

Green blood flew everywhere and venom splashed everywhere.

The poisonous insects bit and devoured each other's flesh and venom frantically.

The flesh of the other poisonous insects reacted miraculously with the venom in their bodies, increasing their strength and even causing changes to their flesh.

Centipedes with eyes open, poisonous snakes with horns, and earthworms with armor are what the ancients called strange things and phenomena.

Xu Yang would inject a stream of red true qi and Taiyin true qi from time to time, intensifying the fighting among the poisonous insects inside.

"The blood energy of the Hades River can promote the evolution of poisonous insects. I will use the Taiyin energy to strengthen their bodies. The power of the two different systems can complement each other. Not bad."

This is the result of three years of research.

It is also a reflection of the concept of cultivating all dharmas. Different systems should not be completely exclusive, and each will definitely play to its own strengths in some aspect.

Xu Yang is refining the dragon Gu. The Gu worms in the jar are not ordinary Gu worms, but Gu worms that are the essence of thousands of poisonous insects.

First, take thirty-six reptiles of various kinds and have them fight in the altar. The winner will be the poisonous insect.

At this time, the poisonous insect is relatively weak and can only deal with mortals or warriors.

After that, collect thirty-six poisonous insects that have fought each other, select the winner again, and then proceed to the next round of fighting.

The black altar in front of you is the sixth round of poisonous insects.

Xu Yang wants to cultivate the Dragon Gu step by step.

When the Dragon Gu is born, it has at least the combat power of the Foundation Establishment Level. Moreover, it is a Gu insect, so it can kill people invisibly.

While the poisonous insects were fighting, Xu Yang sat cross-legged and looked inward.

Qigong Master: Xu Yang
Realm: Foundation Building

Supernatural powers: Taiyin Dharmakaya. Three secret Yin bodies (remnants), Guishui true body, Xuehe Yin body.

法术：先天阴阳眼。太阴自然炼尸法（圆满），真传大手印·三（圆满），河车宫养生秘箓·筑基篇（入门1435/2000），玄冥黑水真经·感炁真炁篇（大成621/2000）阴山血传百蛊秘术（小成37/2000)，螭龙黑水咒（大成564/3000）……

"Blood River Yin Body is a secret method created by absorbing the essence of the Blood River in the Underworld. Once you master this method, you can practice spells that absorb the essence of the Blood River."

Xu Yang figured out the special technique of this Dharma body.

He roughly knew some of the specific methods of absorbing the essence of the Blood River.

These are usually methods that are difficult to guard against, such as witchcraft, nightmare, black magic, incantation, and voodoo.

Absorbing the essence of the blood river is a more remote branch of the left-handed lineage.

The other minor spells are basically complete, and the rest are either fundamental techniques or spells that are not often practiced.

Even the Taiyin method has been practiced to perfection, and the rest can only be figured out by oneself.

clack clack...

At this time, the black altar slowly shattered.

Cold energy continued to fly out.

Whoosh! !

Suddenly, a half-foot long red light shot out.

"Evil beast!!"

Xu Yang took a step forward, made a gesture with his right hand, and shot into the air.

The red light was sucked into his hand by an invisible force, and the light kept moving and flickering like a swimming fish, but it could never escape from the palm of his hand, as if there were invisible walls around it that imprisoned it.

It’s not that Xu Yang has no way to deal with it. He just slowly uses his true Qi to refine it.

After a long time, the red light stopped and began to reveal its true appearance.

It is about half a foot long, shaped like a centipede, with armored legs, four horns on its head, and thin whiskers on both sides.

It looks like a real dragon, but its true form is an insect.

"The dragon poison is finally done."

With a thought, light shone from the dragon's brow, and there seemed to be a glowing gem inside the red shell.

The dragon Gu circled at a very fast speed, like the northern polar light, or a red wind.

This is a dragon formed by a centipede. Every centipede that becomes a monster has a wind-fixing bead on its forehead. This bead can summon strong winds, which are poisonous.

"From now on I'll call you Dingfeng Gulong."

This dragon also absorbed the energy of Taiyin, and became much more intelligent than ordinary poisonous insects.

The characteristic of the Dingfeng Gu Long is its speed, a speed that is difficult for ordinary cultivators to catch. Once it enters the body, it will summon a fierce poisonous wind to crush the person's internal organs.

"I still have to continue refining the Dragon Gu, and I'll practice the Qilin Gu another day."

The dragon poison created by the centipede has the power to stop the wind, the poisonous snake should be poisonous, the gecko is rotten, and I don’t know about millipedes and centipedes.

All in all, there is still a lot of room for development in the art of Dragon Gu.

The art of witchcraft can be ranked alongside the art of corpse-driving.

Then he took out the red jade vase that he had prepared in advance and put the Wind-Fixing Dragon Gu into it.

Gu worms need to be raised, unlike ordinary creatures that can forage for food and survive independently.

"Kill someone first to test the waters."

There was a hint of murderous intent in Xu Yang's eyes. He realized that he was a narrow-minded person and held grudges.

I remember clearly those who had taken advantage of my misfortune before.

Who should we start with?

Not many people have offended him, perhaps they have forgotten, but Xu Yang himself remembers it clearly.

Like the wind?

Rufeng will definitely be killed, but there are no personal belongings of Rufeng here, so the insect cannot track him automatically.

"I'll let you go for now."

In addition, there are Yuanfu Temple, Lianxue Temple, and several ninth-grade Taoist priests.

The siege on that day was still fresh in his mind.

Now that the Taoist temple has just been built, it is natural to clear them one by one.

"Blood Refining Temple..." Xu Yang muttered to himself, his eyes clear.

Let’s start with Long Dao Ren.

The two sides had close contacts in those days, and Xu Yang still has the jade talisman left by Taoist Long.

Xu Yang held the empty pearl and searched for a long time before finally finding the deeply buried jade talisman.

Release the Wind-Fixing Gu Dragon in the jade bottle.

The Gu Dragon circled the jade talisman and opened its mouth, revealing its tiny teeth.

The figures flicker, move, change and disappear, as strange as ghosts and elves.
