True Immortal of the Netherworld

After saying goodbye to Ning Tianqi, Xu Yang left Tiangui Sect and headed northwest.

The Golden Buddha Temple is in the northwest and is the home of the Golden Jade Monk.

Xu Yang had been to the Golden Buddha Temple before and had already memorized the route.

Since his name was on the list of evil gods, he couldn't take the Merchant Alliance's inn station, so he had to use his escape technique to get on his way.

The Qingmu Spirit Body Technique that Xu Yang is good at is a high-level wood demon technique that combines man and wood. Coupled with his unique Immortal Wood Spirit power, he can move very easily wherever there are vegetation, and consumes very little energy.

After all, he is made of flesh and blood, and he will still feel tired if he overexerts his body.

Ten days later, Xu Yang slowed down and rested on the roadside without stopping.

Passing by a market, he decided to buy some items to prepare for the journey.

In an ordinary shop, a fat shopkeeper greeted the passing customers.

"Good quality spirit poultry jerky. If it's not fresh, don't need spirit stones. If it's not delicious, don't ask for spirit stones. Men eat it to nourish the body, and women eat it to nourish yin and improve their beauty..."

"What's the price of this spiritual poultry jerky?" Xu Yang wanted to purchase some fresh ingredients for the golden mink "Peach" to eat.

Jin Diao Pantao is Xu Yang's earliest partner on the road to cultivation. When no one was around, Xiaozhuo often drank with him.

He is a friend and a drinking buddy, and he has never treated me badly.

"Sir, if you want ten kilograms, please give me three high-grade spiritual stones. If there is less, I won't sell it." The fat shopkeeper spoke clearly and decisively.

Xu Yang was slightly surprised when he heard the price. The price was almost three times the usual price.

Xu Yang waved his hand, "I'll take a look first."

After walking around the market, Xu Yang found that the prices of most commodities in the market were three to five times higher than usual, and even some products that were in short supply were priced ten times higher than usual.

Xu Yang went back to the fat shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, are the prices of goods in this market usually so high?"

"Shouldn't the price be high?" The fat shopkeeper saw Xu Yang turning back and asked confidently.

Xu Yang smiled lightly and said, "I would like to hear the details."

"A few months ago, the Demon Clan from the Western Region reappeared in the Zhongyuan Realm, and all the major cultivation sects of the Human Race in the Northern Region were actively preparing for war, resulting in a shortage of supplies. These days, the prices of commodities in various markets have been rising. If you continue If you come a few days later, the price will only be higher," the fat shopkeeper explained.

Xu Yang thought for a while and said: "It is normal for the prices of war preparation materials, such as special spiritual stones, talismans, gunpowder, etc., to increase. But some ordinary items, even spiritual meat jerky, have increased three times. This Isn't it a bit unreasonable?

As far as I know, the demons of the Western Region have not officially declared war on the humans of the Northern Region so far. Moreover, this is the hinterland of the Northern Territory. If there is a real fight, the flames of war will not burn here. "

The fat shopkeeper smiled and said nothing.

Xu Yang shook his head helplessly, thinking: "This is all deliberate hype by merchants. There are even large merchant alliances that are hoarding it to make war fortune."

There was no shortage of spirit stones in Xu Yang's storage bag, but the prices of the goods he purchased were ridiculously expensive, and he always felt like he was being bullied by bad people and suffered a loss.

Businessmen made war fortunes.

People are not good.

After that, Xu Yang paid the spirit stone, put away ten kilograms of fresh dried meat, and released the golden mink and flat peach from the spirit pet bag.

The little guy squatted on Xu Yang's shoulders, holding the dried meat in his small hands and feasting. When he was full, he didn't forget to ask Xu Yang for a drink.

Xu Yang handed over the wine gourd, and the little beast held it skillfully, gulping, gulping, and drank a few big gulps of wine.

After a while, the little beast staggered around, and finally fell asleep in Xu Yang's arms.

Xu Yang looked at the little beast's innocent look and was very fond of it. While stroking the little beast's shiny and smooth hair, he said to himself: "Who would have known that this cute little golden retriever like you would get angry? But it is the most powerful beast. Pantao, you have followed me on the path of cultivation and never left me. Thank you so much."

The friendship between the two is profound. As Xu Yang's spiritual pet, the little beast has never recognized him as his master through a blood contract.

Xu Yang was grateful for Jin Diao Pantao's loyalty and dedication, so he put the little beast away and set off again.

A month later, there were gradually more temples on the road.

"I have entered the boundary of Jinzhou. I passed by this street last time when I came to the Golden Buddha Temple. Normally, I can reach the Golden Buddha Temple in three days." Xu Yang thought to himself

.

The temples lined up along the road are still magnificent, and the monks passing by are still wearing gorgeous cassocks. Incense is curling up, and there is an endless stream of devout pilgrims.

But Xu Yang felt that this place was extremely strange.

When the person you miss is no longer around, the scenery changes.

"What's wrong with me? After entering the realm of Jinzhou, my heart is beating wildly?" Xu Yang frowned, "Friend Jinyu, you must be well."

Flustered, Xu Yang simply entered a temple and burned incense and prayed for the golden monk.

As a disciple of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, Xu Yang believed in the Great Heavenly Ghost. But I have always been in awe of other faiths and have not deliberately rejected them.

Because his good friend Jinyu Xiaoseng is a devout Buddhist, he has deepened his special feelings for Buddhism.

"Your Majesty, Lord Buddha, may your disciple, the little monk Jinyu, be safe and sound." Xu Yang held incense in both hands, bowed solemnly three times, and then offered the Buddha lamp, oil, fire money, and hundreds of high-grade spiritual stones.

After burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, the waves in Xu Yang's heart calmed down a little.

The gilded Buddha in the main hall lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, wondering if he heard Xu Yang's wish for blessing.

A middle-aged monk on the side saw Xu Yang put hundreds of high-grade spiritual stones into the merit box, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at Xu Yang.

"Donor, please stay." The middle-aged monk stopped Xu Yang and clasped his hands together. His eyes were bent into a crescent shape, and the corners of his mouth were curved, revealing half of his teeth. He looked so happy that he seemed to have seen the Buddha in his heart.

"Master," Xu Yang clasped his hands in return, "are you calling me?"

"Yes Yes."

"What did you call me for?"

"Looking at the donor's clothes, he must be from out of town, right?"

"I came to Jinzhou from Qingzhou to visit relatives."

"Oh my, Qingzhou is a thousand miles away from Jinzhou," the middle-aged monk said with enthusiasm. "The poor monk's name is Huiyu, and he is one of the meditation masters of this Wangjin Temple. If it is convenient for the donor, please follow me there. Talk about it in detail in the pavilion. There are so many people here and it’s very inconvenient.”

Xu Yang secretly released the technique of divine consciousness and swept it across the middle-aged monk's body.

"This great monk clearly took the Spirit-Suppressing Pill to suppress his own cultivation performance. His actual cultivation level should be in the Yuanhun realm, and he should not be an ordinary monk."

Xu Yang wanted to refuse, but then he thought, maybe he could find out some information about the golden monk from this monk.

In the pavilion inside the temple.

Monk Huiyu looked around and saw no one coming, so he whispered: "Donor, I see that you put hundreds of high-grade spiritual stones and incense money into the merit box. It is really a great act of kindness."

Xu Yang nodded.

Monk Huiyu said: "The donor is away from home, so his wealth should not be exposed to avoid attracting thieves."

Xu Yang asked back: "Every move in this Buddhist hall is under the eyes of the Buddha. What's more, the people who come to burn incense and worship Buddha are all devout people, how can there be thieves?"

Monk Huiyu was speechless for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and then said: "I just reminded the donor in good faith."

After a pause, he continued: "The demons from the Western Regions have reappeared in the Zhongyuan Realm. It is inevitable that a few thieves from the Demonic Clan from the Western Regions have sneaked into Jinfo Township to cause trouble secretly. Moreover, there are many people coming and going from Jinfo Township, and there are also some people who fish in troubled waters. ”

"Thank you, Master, for reminding me," Xu Yang clasped his hands, "I heard on the way that the Golden Jade Holy Son of the Golden Buddha Temple was framed as a demon disciple. Is it true or not?"

Monk Huiyu quickly made a gesture of silence, and then whispered: "The matters of the Golden Buddha Temple are not something that our ordinary temple can discuss.

However, I think you are a kind person and you are from out of town, so I might as well tell you what I know. A few months ago, Holy Son Jinyu led hundreds of monks to Demon Blood Peak to slay demons. When they left, an expedition meeting was held with great fanfare. What happened next, I only heard rumors that the Golden Jade Saint was rescued by the Jiu Ku Saint Monk of the Golden Buddha Temple. When he came back, Jinyu Shengzi fell into a coma and his body became demonic. But after waking up, Holy Son Jinyu ran away privately. Only then was he defined by the Tathagata Hall of the Golden Buddha Temple as having fallen into the devil's path, and was wanted on the list of evil gods. "

Xu Yang listened carefully, frowning more and more, thinking: "It's probably Jin Yu's friends who were caught up in the Western Region Demon Clan's machinations. Even I didn't make the mistake because I was invaded by the demonic energy in the Qinghuo Demon Clan. Into a whirlpool?"

Xu Yang unconsciously questioned loudly: "The Holy Son of Gold and Jade must have been invaded by demonic energy, which caused his body to be temporarily demonized. How can it be rashly defined as falling into the devil's path?"

"Donor, please be quieter. Donor, please be quieter." Monk Huiyu waved his hands repeatedly.

.

Monk Huiyu forced a smile, "However, the poor monk thinks that the young master is right. Where is the Demon Blood Peak? It is the holy land of the demon clan in the Western Region, and it is one of the sources of the evil spirit. When you arrive at the Demon Blood Peak, Ordinary people will become purple disasters if they absorb the evil spirit. The Golden Jade Saint will inevitably be unaffected, and his reputation will be ruined by evil spirits."

Xu Yang nodded in approval.

"Personally, I sympathize with Holy Son Jinyu." Huiyu said.

The two had a common point of view, and their relationship seemed to have become closer unknowingly.

Monk Huiyu generously took out a brocade parcel from his arms and opened it layer by layer, revealing a small white jade bottle inside.

Then he said: "Inside this white jade bottle is a "Nine-turning Universe Demon Subduing Pill". Taking this pill can resist the evil spirit from invading the body. Master, do you want to take one of it? If the Golden Jade Saint had this pill at that time, , you won’t be in trouble.”

Xu Yang was so smart that he knew right away that the wise monk was trying to sell the miraculous medicine in his mouth.

"Is this Nine-turn Universe Demon-Conquering Pill really so effective?" Xu Yang asked.

"I can guarantee that this elixir is the nemesis of evil spirits. My ancestors participated in the war between humans and demons a thousand years ago, and they only relied on this elixir to save their lives.

It is a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors, refined with ninety-nine kinds of heaven and earth spiritual materials, sealed with the secret method of Buddhism, and edified under the incense of Buddhism for ten years before I produced such a one..." Monk Huiyu clapped his chest and spoke fluently.

"How many spirit stones?" Xu Yang asked directly.

"Not many, thousands of high-grade spiritual stones." The monk smiled.

Xu Yang shook his head slightly.

Seeing Xu Yang's hesitation, Monk Huiyu hurriedly added: "This elixir is only sold to those who are destined. I saw that the donor had good intentions, did good deeds, and got good luck, so I wanted to give this elixir to the donor. I have always treasured it. The elixir is never exposed. In fact, if you carefully calculate the cost of refining this elixir, it will cost more than thousands of high-grade spiritual stones."

Xu Yang thought to himself: "If there is really a spiritual elixir that can resist the intrusion of the demonic energy into the body, at this juncture when the demons from the Western Regions reappear in the Zhongyuan Realm, even if they get it at auction, they will get thousands of high-grade spiritual stones. Moreover, according to me With many years of experience in alchemy, the more fancy the name, the more fake it is.”

Seeing that Xu Yang was still hesitant, Monk Huiyu rolled his eyes, unplugged the white jade bottle, put the white jade bottle into Xu Yang's hand, and gently fanned it with his hand, "Sir, take it and smell the fragrance of this medicine yourself."

Xu Yang held the porcelain bottle, and a very fragrant smell came out of the white jade bottle.

The aroma was a bit weird, so strong that Xu Yang felt slightly dizzy after inhaling the aroma.

Fortunately, with Xu Yang's invulnerable physique and super strong soul power, the discomfort was fleeting.

"This is a fake ecstasy medicine!" Xu Yang immediately affirmed loudly.

"How can this be a fake medicine?" Monk Huiyu immediately turned his face after hearing this.

The cassock outside his body was rolled horizontally, emitting a pale golden soul realm. In the soul realm, the soul power rose and turned into the shadow of a fierce tiger, as if it wanted to eat people.

"Donor, my spiritual elixir is genuine, how come it turns into a fake medicine in your hands?" Monk Huiyu showed his fierce look, "Five thousand high-grade spiritual stones, deal!"

Xu Yang said calmly: "Are you trying to buy or sell by force?"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Yang's purple demonic energy rolled over his body, activating the power of the demon in his body.

The purple soul realm is like a tide, and among it is the shadow of a huge purple lion, staring at it incomparably.

In comparison, the golden tiger transformed from the monk's soul realm is like a kitten.

Click, click, click.

Under the crushing force of Xu Yang's soul domain, the soul domain emitted by the monk immediately shattered, and the golden tiger dispersed with a cry.

The monk stood there dumbfounded, motionless.

Xu Yang moved one hand, and a purple lion seal fell on the monk's eyebrows, and disappeared into the sea of ​​​​consciousness under his heavenly spirit cover.

Xu Yang collected the soul realm, stuffed the white jade bottle into the monk's hand, and said coldly: "Monk Huiyu, if you continue to sell fake medicines to deceive people, the curse on you will take effect. When the time comes, you can "Take your own fake medicine and see if it works?"

Monk Huiyu blinked and seemed to understand Xu Yang's words.

Xu Yang snorted coldly and disappeared in a cloud of purple air.

After two full hours, the standing monk Huiyu collapsed to the ground. After being discovered, he remained silent for five years.

Real monk, selling fake medicine.

People are not good.

…

Three days later, Xu Yang arrived outside the Golden Buddha Temple.
