Chapter 149 5 Evil Beasts

Last time, we talked about Li Qingfeng and his men preparing to exorcise the ghosts, while Li Yi and Yi Ling were watching from the side. So what are the people from Shura Palace going to do? Let's read on.

After the preparations were completed, Li Qingfeng walked to the table, took out yellow paper from his sleeve, picked up the pen and dipped it in ink to start drawing the talisman. Li Yi asked, "Does the Human Sect also use Taoist talismans to exorcise ghosts? Aren't talismans a method used by the Earth Sect?"

Yi Ling explained: "Talismans are not only used by our Taoist sect, many sects have them, such as the Holy Fire Hall, the Spirit Talisman Society, and even the Buddhist sect you practice. Talismans are just a kind of magic, but among all the sects, only the Taoist sect's Di Zong's talisman technique is the most powerful."

Yi Ling's face was full of pride. Li Yi asked in confusion, "Is it enough to just use the Daoist Talisman? I thought I would have a chance to see the Yin-Yang Wuji Technique of the Ren Clan."

Yi Ling patted Li Yi's shoulder and said with a smile: "You know a lot about Taoism, but you will definitely not see the Yin-Yang Wuji Technique. A few water monsters don't need such advanced techniques. If you want to see it, you can ask Brother Qingfeng to spar with you later."

At this time, Li Qingfeng had already drawn the Taoist talismans. He pinched eight talismans between his fingers and began to chant a spell, then shouted: "Spiritual Talisman·Soul-Binding Rope!" He threw the Taoist talismans towards the lake. The talismans burned in mid-air and then turned into eight golden chains that dived into the water.

Soon the lake surface began to move, undercurrents interlaced, waves rolled. Suddenly the water surface exploded, and a huge humanoid water monster jumped out, roaring and scaring the villagers to flee in all directions. Behind the water monster was a golden chain with a cone at one end and a ball at the other.

Although it was only a moment, Li Yi could see the appearance of the water monster clearly. Although it was in human form, it looked more like a fish, with scales all over its body; it had a dorsal fin; its hands and feet had three fingers, with webbed fingers; and a long tail like a crocodile; it had not much hair, but it was all red, only on its head; it had no ears, no nose, and gills on its neck; its eyes were large and protruding; its face had a large catfish mouth with a beard, and several rows of serrated fangs.

Li Yi scratched his head and looked at Yi Ling and said, "It looks scary enough, and it's huge! If an ordinary person was dragged into the water, there would be no chance of survival."

Yi Ling ignored Li Yi and shouted to Li Qingfeng, "Brother Qingfeng, such a big water monster can't have just been possessed by a spirit. There must be something strange in the lake!"

Qingfeng Li nodded and said, "I know, but no matter what, we have to deal with those small ones first!" He formed a seal and chanted a spell, pointed his palm at the lake, turned his palm into a claw and pulled back. Seven chains flew out of the lake and then merged into one and fell into his hand. Qingfeng Li pulled the chain like he was collecting a net, and it looked very strenuous. The little Taoist priest at the side immediately stepped forward to help, and everyone worked together to pull all seven water monsters out of the water.

Now the villagers could see clearly that the seven skinny water monsters, less than five feet tall, were skinny and bony. They looked very different, more like monkeys without noses. Li Qingfeng was about to pull the seven small water monsters to the shore when the big water monster jumped out of the water again and cut off all seven chains at the same time with a sweep of its front paws. At this time, the golden chain chasing it arrived and tied it up, but before it could enter the water, the big water monster pushed hard and broke the golden chain on its body, and then dived into the water.

At this time, in the bubble barrier under the surface of Fuling Lake, Cai Xiliu said to Qiu Xiong, the master of the Ghost Blade Hall of Shura Hall: "Master Qiu, how come this water ghost you raised is so powerful that it can even cut the Taoist soul binding rope?"

Qiu Xiong chuckled and said, "That's not a water ghost, but my ghost blade five evil beasts."

Cai Xiliu asked, "Five Evil Beasts? Is this the name of the Ghost Blade of Qiu Hall Master?"

Qiu Xiong said contemptuously: "Humph, you who play tricks definitely don't know! This is a new technique created by my master Huang Lu Zhenren based on the Taoist inner alchemy technique and his theory of the Five Evils. Ghosts can also cultivate inner alchemy, but without a physical body, the inner alchemy they refine cannot be preserved for a long time. He came up with a way to use his body as a container for the inner alchemy of ghosts.

When they practice, they take out the inner elixir and return it to them. After practice, they put it back into their bodies. This kind of practice is called the Shadan furnace. The ghost blade is just a means to use the inner elixir in the furnace. The ghost is restrained in the weapon, which can be used for both fighting and practice. Even if the ghost blade is damaged and the ghost is destroyed, as long as the inner elixir is still there, the ghost ghost blade can be reshaped. The Five Evil Beasts is not the name of my ghost blade, but the ghost restrained in my ghost blade. "

Cai Xiliu nodded and said, "So the ghost blade is this kind of existence. Wouldn't it be more effective to let the ghosts practice? It is indeed a very clever method! Master Qiu, what kind of ghosts are these five evil beasts? Why haven't I heard of them before?"

Qiu Xiong looked at Cai Xiliu with contempt and said, "It would be strange if you had heard of it! This is the soul of a fierce beast that my master personally refined and trained. There is only one in the world. Guarding hell is a fierce beast with a hundred heads named Huo Dou. It looks like a dog but is not a dog. It specializes in eating souls. All souls that escape from hell will be eaten by it, and every time it eats a soul, a head will grow out of its body and wail non-stop until it digests the soul. My Five Evils Beast is the descendant of this Huo Dou. It once harmed a place in Jingzhou and was killed by my master. His soul was detained and the Five Evils were gathered together to refine the Five Evils Beast, which was later given to me."

Caixi Liu flattered: "Master Qiu is indeed the most favored disciple of Master Huanglu. He even gave him this unique beast soul! Alas, otherwise how can you become the master of the hall?"

Qiu Xiong said unhappily: "I am the hall master not relying on the master's title, but relying on my real ability!"

Cai Xiliu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I have heard of your achievements. Just one Ghost Blade Five Evil Beast is so powerful. I think you can definitely deal with that Master Miaoyin and avenge those brothers who died this time."

Qiu Xiong snorted, "Caixi Liu, you, the magician, should not hide the truth from me, the gong beater. You told me about the death of the Cheng brothers and the water monkey, wasn't it to help you get revenge? Your real body has been destroyed, and now it is just a spiritual body. Not only has your power been greatly reduced, but you have also lost your most precious treasures. So what do you want to do by following me? To get back your so-called treasures?"

Caixi Liu Pei smiled and said, "I really can't hide it from Hall Master Qiu. You are right. My real body was buried underground by that female Taoist priest of the Earth Sect. You also know that I am just a magician. The one who feeds me is with my real body. If I don't get it back, even my cultivation will be in trouble. So when Hall Master succeeds, please hand over the female Taoist priest to me."

Qiu Xiong smiled and said, "Of course you can, but you have to wait a few days."

Cai Xiliu smiled and said, "I understand, I understand. I can wait."

Qiu Xiong smiled and pointed his sword at the five evil beasts swimming in the water, saying, "Go kill that Taoist priest who is exorcising ghosts, and then force that Master Miaoyin out!"

As soon as the words fell, the big water monster swam straight to the shore like a torpedo released from a warehouse. When it reached the shallow water area, it did not jump out of the water but burrowed into the ground. At the same time, its body shape began to change. Its face became longer, its mouth became sharper, its eyes became smaller, it grew a nose and ears, the webbed feet on its hands and feet disappeared and became five-fingered claws with long nails, its tail became shorter and thinner, its body became rounder, its neck disappeared, and its scales became larger, harder, and thicker like armor. Overall, it looked like a giant rat-headed pangolin. The only thing that did not change was its ferocious eyes.

The transformed Five Evil Beasts burrowed into the ground, dug through the soil, and soon came to Li Qingfeng's feet. Then they broke out of the soil and overturned the table, and stretched their claws towards Li Qingfeng in mid-air. The sudden appearance of the Five Evil Beasts scared the surrounding young Taoist priests. In a panic, they forgot the methods they had learned and fled like the villagers.

Li Qingfeng must have sensed the location of the Five Evil Beasts long ago. He not only dodged their attacks but also ambushed a Tai Chi plate there. As he pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, he extended his sword finger. The Five Evil Beasts then realized they had been tricked. Li Qingfeng shouted, "Yin Yang Wuji Technique: Yang Tiger Yin Snake!"

With a tiger roar, a white tiger jumped out from the Tai Chi plate and pounced directly on the five evil beasts. The tigers and beasts fought with each other, biting, wrestling and rolling. This was a contest between wild beasts, and Yang Hu had already gained the upper hand.

Not long after, Yang Hu pressed the Five Evils Beast to the ground, and its tail turned into a black snake and began to wrap around the Five Evils Beast. But just as the black snake was about to bite the Five Evils Beast's throat, the Five Evils Beast opened its mouth and spit out a strange five-colored five-bladed halberd that directly pierced the black snake's head. The black snake dissipated and turned back into a tiger's tail. The Five Evils Beast took the opportunity to turn over and wrestle with the White Tiger again.

Yi Ling, who was watching the battle from the side, shook his head and sighed: "The power of the Yin Snake is not strong enough to give a fatal blow to the monster full of evil spirit."

Li Yi asked back: "The White Tiger has won the fight, why not let the White Tiger kill directly?"

Yi Ling explained: "The Yin-Yang Wuji Technique cannot control the yin and yang with each other. It can only control the yang with the yang and the yin with the yin. Otherwise, the technique will fail."

In the bubble barrier, Cai Xiliu exclaimed: "Can you even break the Yin-Yang Wuji Technique? Master Qiu, how come your Five Evil Beasts are so powerful!"

Qiu Xiong waved his hand and said, "It's not that the Five Evil Beasts are powerful, but that the Taoist priest is not. He has not mastered the essence of the Yin-Yang Wuji Technique, which is the endless transformation between the Yin and Yang forces. This is normal. How could a mere fifth-rank Taoist priest from a human sect master such a profound magic? He must have not practiced enough."

Cai Xiliu nodded and said, "That's right. If the Taoist magic is so easy to learn, how can the Buddhists take advantage of them? By the way, Master Qiu, are you sure you can deal with the Buddhist Vajra Magic?"

Qiu Xiong smiled and said, "There is a Buddhist monk in our Shura Palace. I have fought with him before. The Vajra Divine Art is indeed powerful, but it is not without weaknesses. You will see later."

Cai Xiliu was surprised and said, "What? There are Buddhist monks in our Shura Palace? How come I have never heard of them!"

Qiu Xiong laughed and said, "The power of our Shura Palace is very great! I heard that they also want to extend their influence to the Northern Wei Dynasty, but I don't know if they have achieved it."

Cai Xiliu nodded and smiled, "Northern Wei? It would be great if we could achieve our wish. There must be many ghosts in the Northern Wei."

Qiu Xiong shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. The Tianzong is in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Taoist sect is still very well-connected. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid something big will happen." At this time, the Five Evil Beasts had already taken the initiative, opened their mouths and spit out the strange halberd again to defeat the White Tiger.

Yiling said to Li Yi, "Brother Qingfeng is not good at fighting, and that is no ordinary monster! Why are you still standing there? Go and help!" Li Yi said "oh" and used his Vajra Power to leap to the battlefield. When the five evil beasts pounced on Li Qingfeng, he knocked them away with one punch.

Li Qingfeng sighed, "Thank you, Mr. Li, it's because I haven't practiced enough."

Li Yi said with a smile: "Master, please go to the side and have a rest. Watch me deal with this big rat!" Then he used the rolling door skill on the Five Evil Beasts and said, "Come here!"

The Five Evil Beasts shook their heads and then changed again. This time, it turned back to its original appearance, a big dog more than one meter tall with dark red flames burning all over its body. It had two heads on each side of its body, one side had the head of a water monster and the rat head from before, and the other side had the head of a tree spirit and a buffalo head with huge horns.

Li Yi pointed at the buffalo head and asked, "Yiling, what the hell is this buffalo head?"

Li Qingfeng replied, "That's the ancient golden beast Chitie! What kind of monster is this? I've never even heard of it, let alone seen it! Junior Sister Yiling, have you seen it?"

Yi Ling shook his head and said, "This is the first time I've seen one, too. But this is no longer a monster. Can you sense the evil spirit all over it, Senior Brother?"

Qingfeng Li nodded and said, "It is formed by the gathering of the Five Evil Spirits. It is definitely not a monster."

Li Yi looked at the Five Evil Beasts that were roaring at him and said, "It seems this guy is not simple. Well, I will use you to try out the Six-Character Mantra."

As soon as he finished speaking, the five evil beasts rushed towards Li Yi, who put his hands together and summoned the life-size image of Acalanatha, then shouted, "Om Mani Padme Hum!"

A golden six-petal lotus formation lit up under the feet of the Acala Vidyaraja, and the six-character mantra in Sanskrit appeared on the lotus petals. As the lotus turned, the formation lit up with Buddha light. The Five Evil Beasts stopped instantly when they saw this. They stared for a while, opened their mouths and spit out a blue pillar of fire, which dissipated when it touched the edge of the formation. The Five Evil Beasts closed their mouths and opened them again, and this time they spit out a dark red pillar of fire. Li Yi could clearly sense that this was the fire from hell!
