Chapter 106: Shinto Scriptures, Demon Race and Human World

"Ancient Water Palace? It turned out to be him!"

The gate of the Water Palace slowly closed and disappeared into the water.

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized it.

It seemed that an ancient water palace came into being that year, but then mysteriously disappeared and nothing was known about it.

"It seems that it was obtained by Taoist Chongyang. He is worthy of being the master of Jiuyou Temple. His strategy is profound and amazing."

Taoist Huang Du thought of the young master who practiced water magic, and he said to the Jiaolong disciple beside him: "Jiao Chong, you were stronger than him before, and you need to catch up with him next time."

"I will definitely try my best."

The dragon with horns on its head looked firmly in the direction of Jiuyou Temple.

The first time he met Xu Yang, this man had just achieved great success in his true Qi. After several years, he not only became the master of the temple, but also established a great reputation. How could he not be motivated to fight?

As everyone was talking, Baizhu fell down, stepped on the water, and bowed to the crowd. Ten patrolling sea yakshas guarded him from all sides, looking very imposing.

"Go away, and come back in five years." Taoist Huang Du said, and then turned into a stream of black water and disappeared.

"Yes!"

Everyone dispersed.

Baizhu jumped into the Water Palace and used the power of the Water Palace to make it disappear into the river.

At this point, there is no need to conceal the existence of the Water Palace.

Jiuyou Temple has the ability to guarantee its own assets.

Pine forest on the right side of Qujiang River.

Two figures looked down at the meeting from the cliff.

The woman held a topaz folding fan in her hand, and her dark blue Taoist robe was painted with a nine-headed strange bird. Her facial features were pale, and she had no eyebrows, but instead two green dots like bags under her eyes. Her pupils were golden vertical pupils like those of a monster.

He wore a cloak with a ghost mask and a diamond jade sword.

There is no need for a grand ceremony or a large following.

Just standing here makes people feel the elegance and luxury.

The person behind him was over ten feet tall, had a sharp bird's beak, and looked extremely ferocious.

There seemed to be other guards hidden in the surrounding corners, underground, and in the water.

This is Gui Xiang, a member of the Guicha clan of Queqiao Palace and an initial-level cultivator.

"This southern slope has many young people and few old and weak people. It is indeed a Feng Shui treasure land."

Gui Xiang opened the fan with a snap, and there was a three-headed ghost painted on the fan.

"This time my brother and I have two primary pills in total. We will use coercion, bribery, trickery and plunder. In less than five years, we will definitely be able to take over this place."

Gui Xiang was fully prepared and confident.

If we just use force, it might take less than half a year.

But this cannot be done. First, it will cause the other two factions to unite against the enemy, and second, it will be detrimental to governance.

What the Guiche tribe wants is not ruins, but a precious land that provides a constant supply of blood and food.

After all, they are a fierce dragon crossing the river, and the number of the Ghost Car Tribe is small, so they need to subdue some of the local forces.

He started from the position of Quhuang County Magistrate, and then annexed and expanded step by step.

At this time, Baizhu happened to show his magical powers.

Gui Xiang’s eyes lit up. There are demon sisters?

"Pure true qi, Heche desire law, a law body and a demon body, clear and bloodless, good, good, there are such good seedlings here. But why is he from the Heche Dao lineage?"

"Ghost Partridge!"

"My subordinate is here!"

A man with a bird's head, wings, and no arms and a bird's beak flew out of the bushes on the right.

"Check the nearby forces."

"As ordered!"

The void twisted and the ghost partridge disappeared.

Half an hour later, the ghost partridge came back.

"Daughter of the clan, I have found out that there are only two forces in Quhuang County, one is Jiuyou Temple, and the other is Black Fish who is in charge of the county government. Currently, Jiuyou Temple is the only one in power. The temple master, Taoist Chongyang Xu Yang, has just entered the foundation-building stage. It is said that the woman just now is Taoist Chongyang's cauldron."

Gui Xiang put away the fan, frowned slightly, and looked a little dissatisfied.

"The girls of the demon race should be self-reliant. How can they rely on men like ordinary girls?"

The obstinate idea was strong, so I could only wait until I could tame this monster and then tame it slowly.

"Let's go to the county government office. Ghost Partridge, you are responsible for contacting me and my brother."

"Yes!"

In the county government office.

Captain Red Crab brought news of the Dharma Assembly.

"Water Palace, Patrolling Sea Yaksha... Turns out to be Xu Yang." Like everyone else, General Blackfish suddenly realized.

At that time, the patrolling Yaksha killed his own shrimp soldiers. He thought it was done by the Red-faced Yaksha, so he and the five ghosts beat and injured the Red-faced Yaksha.

Now the truth is out, it turns out that all this was Xu Yang's trick to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

But knowing the truth is not important now.

Over the past few years, Xu Yang has grown to a point where others can no longer stop him.

Even if I want to retaliate, I can't.

In the end it's just self-humiliation.

"Why not join Xu Yang?" This thought arose in Heiyu's mind.

If even a guy like Rufeng can be tolerated, how could I not be accepted?

After observing for several years, we found that people who surrender to Xu Yang often live well, even demons.

Thinking of this, General Blackfish took out the French book, prepared writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write on the table.

This is a letter of resignation.

The demon world is strictly hierarchical, with severe oppression between superiors and subordinates.

General Blackfish had his position taken away from him for no apparent reason, and it was impossible for him not to feel resentful.

As he was writing, he suddenly stopped.

"If I go like this, I will be asking for someone's protection and will have to bow my head for the rest of my life. It is better to stay with Gui Xiang as a spy, and you will be able to make greater contributions in the future."

Thinking of this, General Blackfish was no longer in a hurry.

After years of ups and downs in the political arena, he is well aware of this.

The importance of a person lies not only in his or her strength but also in whether he or she is needed by others.

Therefore, the best time to surrender is not now, but after becoming Gui Xiang's subordinate in the future.

Wow! !

A cold wind suddenly blew up in the mansion, and a woman walked out of the cold wind.

"Black Fish? This name is quite common." Gui Xiang smiled slightly.

"Your subordinate greets the Lady of the Clan!"

The direct descendants of the demon race, if they do not have a position, are generally called the eldest sons and daughters of the clan.

"Stand up, just call me Lord County Magistrate, come here and kowtow, and from now on you will be my subordinate."

Gui Xiang didn't ask any questions and immediately deprived Heiyu of his position.

"Thank you, County Magistrate!"

General Blackfish bowed slowly with a look of fear and worry on his face.

He knew in his heart that the banshee was observing his reaction. If he showed any complaint, dissatisfaction, or resentment, he would probably not survive more than two days.

Only this kind of reassuring fear can put these arrogant demon disciples at ease.

Gui Xiang nodded, feeling very satisfied.

"I thought that since you are the prison captain, I would definitely not treat you unfairly in the future."

"Thank you, sir."

"Go back."

General Blackfish tried his best to appear cautious and trying to please others as he left.

Even when there is no one around, he dares not show any dissatisfaction.

His worries were right. In the void, there was a faint gaze observing him.

When he returned to his residence, the gaze disappeared silently.

"Bitch, why are you so proud? One day I will get you to Master Xu's bed and fuck you till the sun goes down."

General Blackfish looked ferocious.

It’s not that he is so loyal to Xu Yang, but with his background, it is impossible for him to take revenge.

The only hope is Xu Yang, who has a relatively strong background.

This woman must have come for the entire Quhuang County, and she will definitely have a conflict with Xu Yang in the future. This is inevitable.

In Jiuyou Temple.

Rufeng was holding the tray and facing the same situation as Heiyu.

"Master, these are the Yellow Bud Qi-replenishing Pills, a total of sixteen pills, presented to you!" Rufeng half-knelt holding the tray, not daring to show any disrespect on his face.

During this period, Xu Yang tried many times, but he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.

It is normal for those in higher positions to be suspicious of you. You must not show any other emotions towards their suspicion. This is the way to survive.

Xu Yang took the pill.

"Well, go down. Qingping."

"The disciple is here!"

"Give him the swordfish, Rufeng will be responsible for refining the foundation-building pill. There are eight pills in total. If there are more than five, you keep one for yourself." The latter part of the sentence was said to Rufeng.

There are currently three "people" in the Taoist temple who are about to break through to the foundation-building stage, namely Qingping, Baizhu and Ruyi.

After the three of them broke through, Xu Yang could be a hands-off boss again.

"Thank you so much, Master!"

Rufeng then stood up.

Everyone left, leaving only Xu Yang.

There is a map hanging on the wall of the White Tiger Hall.

The Fire Kingdom located inland, the Water Marrow Kingdom located on the coast, and the Huachi Kingdom which is located on part of the coast and most of the islands.

The Fire Kingdom is vast, but its terrain is rugged and its location is not good.

The inside is also a mess.

There are three forces in the Fire Kingdom.

Heche Palace, Xuanzhu Palace, and Queqiao Palace.

The first two are human forces. The latter has many strong men but no top strong men, and is completely dependent on the Fire King.

In the final analysis, it is actually an internal fight between the human race and the demon race.

Of course, the human race is not united. Perhaps they can unite for a short period of time when facing threats from foreign races, but it is impossible for them to work together.

The Saga County Palace, Chechi Palace and Sanjun Palace all belong to the Heche Road system. They fight each other to the death, and the Chechi Palace even surrenders to the demons.

The fundamental reason is that the Dharma lineages are too scattered, unrelated to each other, and even conflict with each other.

There has never been any unification of unorthodox methods.

It takes a powerful force to unite them so that they can truly fight against the demons and monsters in the world.

After Xu Yang took the elixir, his spirit left his body and arrived in the underworld.

Deep in the underworld, ancient and weathered stones stand.

In the temple in the stone, the old land god manifested his Dharma body.

The statue was different from before, with golden light shining on it, making the room bright and clear.

"Greetings, Great Sage! I have something to report."

The old land master bowed respectfully.

"What's the matter? About Qing Hai Di?"

"That's right. In addition to Qing Hai Di, I also discovered something that is related to the gods in heaven."

The old land man pointed his finger into the void.

Golden light appeared in the void and gathered into the pattern of a man with a pierced chest. This man with a pierced chest was different from the normal one. There was a green gem placed in the hole in his chest.

Xu Yang knew that this was Qing Haidi's soul.

"The problem lies with this orb."

"Are there gods from heaven living in it?"

"Yes and no." The old land god was no longer in doubt. "The god is dead. This is a Shinto talisman. If I hadn't restored my Dharma body, I wouldn't have been able to find it. Judging from the aura I sensed, this Shinto talisman belongs to a water god."

Water God's Scripture...

Xu Yang had an idea in his mind that perhaps he could give the magic talisman to Bai Zhu so that he could control the water veins and have a powerful subordinate.

Moreover, Qing Hai Di must have the complete version of the true handprint on him. If he can get all of them, it will be considered as further strengthening his own strength.

"Keep an eye on him, and wait for the opportunity to kill him in one fell swoop."

Qing Hai Di has lost his physical body, and his cultivation is at most at the peak of the foundation building stage, so it should not be difficult for him to defeat this Savage Buddha.

"Yes!"

After some practice, Xu Yang returned to the human world.

The next day.

Shocking news came from the counties in the southern foothills.

General Heiyu abdicated and was succeeded as county magistrate by Guixiang, daughter of the Guiche clan of Queqiao Palace.

Combined with the recent mysterious appearance of monsters among the people, everyone immediately thought that the monsters were going to come and interfere with the human world.

For a time, the government and the public were in a panic.

After all, it was the demon clan who took action personally.

There are many differences between the demon clan and ordinary demons. Ordinary demons are weak and have no inheritance, and are no different from the villagers in the mountains.

The demon clan is different. The demon clan and the cultivation sects generally have an orderly inheritance. In addition, the demons have innate magical powers, so the demon clan gives people the impression that there are many masters.

Everyone was terrified but also somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, it happened in Quhuang County, and Xu Yang was also a man of strong character and a powerful background. When the two came together, I don't know what kind of trouble it would cause.

The soldier hiding cave and the Taoist with bronze head.

"The demon clan, it seems, is coming for my position." A trace of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the bronze-headed Taoist.

It is impossible for the Guiche tribe to travel thousands of miles just for the position of county magistrate. Their real goal is probably not Nanlu.

"You can only come up with some conspiracies and tricks. I have the support of the Saga County Palace. Do you still want to force your actions?"

Unless the Guiche tribe comes out in full force, they will not be able to defeat the Saga County Palace.

Therefore, these demons must be thinking of some shady means.

"Pass the order down and strengthen patrols, especially in Yinshan Mountain."

"Yes!!"

Yuanfu Baosheng Niangniang Temple.

Zhao Xianglu also received the news.

"Xu Yang, since I didn't agree with me building the temple, now I won't go even if you ask me for help." Zhao Xianglu gloated.

Quhuang County.

On this day, the county town was noisy.

"Everyone, move out of this line within three days!"

A group of bird-beak soldiers surrounded the downtown area, drew a line, and ordered the residents of the area to leave.

The people were afraid of his ferocious appearance and dared not speak out against him.

"Why? Is there no law? This is my ancestral home!"

"We can move out, at least give the money, right?"

"court death!!"

The bird-footed officers drew their swords and the bird-beaked soldiers charged into the crowd.

"Help!"

"The monster killed someone!"

Blood flowed all over the floor.

After the dozen or so people who had spoken out were killed, the people finally obeyed and moved out of the city center.

Next, the imperial court recruited laborers to build a city within a city.

This city is called Niaoguan City and is generally used to isolate demons and humans.

In addition to the Guiche clan, Gui Xiang also brought the Guiche clan's subordinates this time.

The giant bird tribe, the suffering bird tribe, the three-headed firebird, the flying dog, etc.

At the same time, the new county magistrate issued a decree.

People call them the Seven Laws of the Demon Race, which include that demons do not pay taxes, demons do not give money, demons only pay compensation when they kill people, mortals cannot block the way of demons, mortals cannot talk to demons with their backs turned, and anyone who breaks into the demon city will be killed, etc.

Within half a month, a group of new people appeared in Quhuang County.

The brazenness of their actions was even worse than that of all the monks and dignitaries before them.

At least while others are secretive, they are open and aboveboard.

On the Niaoguan City, Gui Xiang looked at the crowds of people below, feeling very superior.

"Two-legged sheep, cowardly and short-lived, a bunch of ungrateful people."

Ingratitude is the general view of the demon race towards the human race.

In their view, the forms of humans and demons after transformation are very similar, and humans are not born with any magic powers, so everything about humans comes from demons.

After the human race imitated the demon race and became powerful, they often became enemies with the demon race.

Ingratitude, despicable character, low bloodline, and cowardice have always been the labels of the human race, and they are only fit to be blood food and two-legged sheep for the demons.

They have no qualms about killing humans; it is as natural and proper as clearing weeds from a garden.
