After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 861 The Woman in the Coffin: My Name is Pang Guanglin! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Tiger Leap Cliff.

Zhou Mingyuan threw the stone coffin on the ground and dodged away without saying a word.

This is the highest point of Qishan. When others are targeted by lightning, they run to lower ground, but he did the opposite and brought the stone coffin directly to the highest point, the place most likely to be struck by lightning.

The creature inside the stone coffin is probably cursing right now, isn't it?

Chen Yang arrived shortly after, while Huang Can was slower and was still behind.

"Walk."

Zhou Mingyuan gave a soft shout and led Chen Yang back the way they came.

The two of them walked until they reached the Toad Rock, where they stopped. Huang Can then ran up, panting heavily.

The air was very oppressive. Although there was an occasional breeze, it was heavy and stuffy, making it hard to breathe.

"Rumble..."

The sky was covered with dark clouds, layer upon layer, with flashes of lightning, but no rain.

Chen Yang had experienced divine retribution before in the Bewitching Pool of Goose Back Mountain, so he was all too familiar with this feeling.

However, although this time it was still nerve-wracking, it wasn't as terrifying as the last time.

The last divine retribution was directed at him directly, but this time, he was merely an observer.

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck, like a long knife slicing through the night sky, heading straight for Tiger Leap Cliff.

The sound was so loud that Chen Yang's expression changed.

Lightning Punishment.

Although it was also a lightning punishment, this tribulation lightning seemed to be even more terrifying than the one he had experienced on Goose Back Mountain.

The majesty of Heaven is not to be trifled with. Even though I was just an observer, the awe I felt was overwhelming.

"Chen Yang, is it necessary to undergo a tribulation of lightning to advance in cultivation level?" Huang Can stood woodenly beside Chen Yang and couldn't help but ask him.

Chen Yang was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Huang Can was clearly frightened.

Cultivators at a lower level are easily frightened when they witness a high-level tribulation, which can damage their Dao heart.

Chen Yang reached out and slapped Huang Can on the shoulder to bring him back to his senses.

Huang Can jumped up and turned to look at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang said, "Don't overthink it. This is divine retribution, not a tribulation. It's much stronger than a tribulation. The tribulation Chen Antai went through in Huangjia Village that day was a cultivator's tribulation..."

"That's terrifying too." Huang Can's expression changed slightly. He was present when Chen Antai underwent his tribulation, but Chen Antai failed and died.

The thunder that day seemed no less intense than today's.

Chen Yang said, "That's the tribulation of the Dao True Realm, of course it's very strong, but the tribulation of creation is much weaker. Your realm is still low now, so don't think too much about it. When you really reach that level, you'll find that it's not so bad after all."

Huang Can was sullen. He was cultivating in a daze, and he was almost at the middle stage of the Spirit Realm. If he reached the middle stage of the Spirit Realm, how far away would the late stage of the Spirit Realm be? And how far away would the Creation Realm be?

If you get struck by lightning, how terrifying and painful would that be?

It seems he needs to slow down his cultivation. He's already quite good at the Spirit Realm; he doesn't have such an urgent ambition for the Creation Realm or anything like that.

If Chen Yang knew what Huang Can was thinking, he would probably be both amused and exasperated.

"Boom..."

Lightning bolts continued to rain down on Tiger Leap Cliff.

The Toad Rock was several hundred meters away from Tiger Leap Cliff, beyond the range of radar detection, so Chen Yang used his mental power to monitor it.

The entire Tiger Leaping Cliff was almost as bright as day under the influence of the lightning.

From a distance, it looks quite frightening.

Huang Can was shaken and didn't even dare to look. The awe-inspiring power and shock made his heart race and his blood boil, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

He quickly turned his back, grabbed his groin with one hand, and regulated the surging blood and qi in his body.

"What kind of look is this?" Zhou Mingyuan chuckled when he saw Huang Can's hairstyle.

"I obtained the Zhongyuan Gong of the Qingshen Sect by accident." Chen Yang was somewhat amused and exasperated.

Huang Can has always practiced the Zhongyuan Gong of the Qingshen Sect. This technique is not bad, but it has a strange shape, requiring one hand to cover the crotch, which is somewhat indecent.

Chen Yang did possess the "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Divine Skill," but this skill was passed down from his ancestors, and he wasn't sure if it would be suitable to pass it on to Huang Can. His uncle also said that his Zhongyuan Skill was still usable, so Chen Yang didn't bother with it for the time being.

Zhou Mingyuan shook his head repeatedly, "The Qing Shen Sect's 'Zhong Yuan Gong' is a health-preserving exercise, and its effect on cultivating internal strength is not significant. Moreover, if it is encountered by the disciples of Qing Shen Mountain in the future, there will probably be a lot of trouble. I will find him a set of exercises later."

"That's wonderful. I thank Elder Zhou on behalf of Huang Can," Chen Yang said.

Zhou Mingyuan smiled calmly, "His talent is not bad. Although he can't compare to you, he's still quite exceptional. Look at him, his qi and blood are fluctuating wildly. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll break through to the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm soon..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Huang Can unleashed an aura of power.

It was as if he had broken through some kind of constraint, and in an instant, his energy and blood became much stronger.

Mid-stage of the Spirit Realm.

As expected, he has broken through to the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm.

Under the suppression of Heavenly Might, he actually completed the breakthrough directly.

This guy's talent for cultivation is indeed high.

Chen Yang couldn't help but sigh, if it weren't for the system's assistance, he probably wouldn't have been able to beat Huang Can in terms of talent.

"boom!"

Another clap of thunder interrupted Chen Yang's thoughts.

A terrifying bolt of lightning struck Tiger Leap Cliff and lasted for over an hour, during which a strong wind arose, but no rain fell.

More than an hour later, the lightning gradually stopped, and the thunderclouds, carrying the might of heaven, slowly dissipated.

The area in front of Tiger Leap Cliff was now completely dark again.

ended.

"Walk."

Zhou Mingyuan said this and then strode towards Tiger Leap Cliff.

Huang Can had just broken through and was still cultivating in that unseemly posture. Chen Yang didn't disturb him, leaving the weasel king for him to guard, and then chased after Zhou Mingyuan.

……

Tiger Leap Cliff.

A scorched earth.

The ground on the cliff was scorched black, and many trees in the surrounding forest were affected. A scorching smell filled the air.

The ground was blasted into a dark, shallow crater by lightning, and the stone coffin was placed in the village, its surface emitting smoke.

Just now, I must have felt great being struck by lightning.

“The divine punishment has receded, so everything inside should be dead, right?” Chen Yang said, standing not far away.

In general, divine punishment is a matter of relentless pursuit, with the tribulation clouds relentlessly chasing after the afflicted.

Now that the thunder has stopped, it means that the creature inside the stone coffin is likely gone.

Of course, we can't be so absolute.

Chen Yang, for example, once escaped divine punishment, didn't he?

If the crime committed is not serious, or if one promptly apologizes to God, one might be forgiven.

The truth will only be known after the coffin is opened.

"Stay away, I'm going to open the coffin."

Zhou Mingyuan left a sentence and then walked towards the stone coffin that was still smoking.

Chen Yang took out the Mountain-Driving Whip, staring intently at the stone coffin, poised and ready to respond to any unexpected situation.

……

"Boom..."

Zhou Mingyuan had only taken two steps when the stone coffin suddenly shook.

He immediately stopped in his tracks.

The stone coffin moved, which means that the thing inside is still alive.

Chen Yang gripped the mountain-driving whip tightly, ready to give him another blow.

But Zhou Mingyuan raised his hand to stop him.

Both of their gazes were fixed on the stone coffin.

If what was inside were truly some heinous evil creature, the lightning punishment just now wouldn't have dissipated.

Since the divine punishment has stopped, it can only mean that the punishment has been enough, and the things inside have passed the test and have not yet reached the point of being destroyed by heaven and earth.

Zhou Mingyuan retreated to Chen Yang's side. Both of them looked at the stone coffin warily, their eyes filled with both curiosity and vigilance.

"boom……"

The stone coffin shook violently. Suddenly, as if struck by a heavy blow, the coffin lid snapped, and the huge coffin lid flew up, arcing through the air before falling into the Tiger Leaping Cliff.

Large amounts of white smoke billowed from the stone coffin, along with a large amount of Yin energy. The air currents surged, and a whirlwind blew by, sending chills down one's spine.

The white smoke dissipated, and after about half a minute, there was no more movement from inside the stone coffin.

Just as the two were about to get closer to take a look, the stone coffin shook again, and a figure leaped out of the coffin and suddenly took flight into the air.

At this moment, the lightning punishment had passed, and the clouds parted to reveal the moon. Beneath a full moon, a figure slowly descended from the sky.

With arms outstretched and long hair flowing wildly, she appeared to be a woman.

It slowly landed on the rim of the stone coffin.

The clothes she wore, perhaps worn down by time, or perhaps just destroyed by lightning, left only a close-fitting undergarment.

His age was unclear, but Chen Yang glanced at him and saw that he had a very good physique.

A wave of oppressive power washed over us.

The Realm of Creation.

It was just the pressure from the Creation Realm expert, but Chen Yang still felt a sense of danger.

Chen Yang felt a sudden tightness in his chest, and an urge to crack the whip surged through him.

"Don't act rashly."

Zhou Mingyuan raised his hand to stop Chen Yang.

She has already withstood the lightning punishment, proving that heaven and earth have acknowledged her existence. Now you come out and, without saying a word, just strike her. Aren't you forcing her to fight you?

Zhou Mingyuan sized up the woman in front of him. A layer of Yin energy on her body remained calm and undisturbed. Although she was only at the Creation Realm, she gave off an extremely dangerous feeling.

It seems it really is a demon.

As for whether it is a Yin or Yang demon, we dare not say for the time being.

This thing is formed from the remains of a Taoist cultivator after death, and it is no weaker than a wandering master of the same realm.

A cultivator at the Creation Realm can fight against a cultivator at the Dao True Realm, so this woman in front of him must be no less capable.

"who are you?"

A clear, melodious voice rang out in the darkness, reaching the ears of the two.

"I am Zhou Mingyuan from Longquan Mountain." Zhou Mingyuan clasped his hands in a fist salute, releasing his aura.

He was a powerful expert at the late stage of the Dao Realm. Even if the demon in front of him was strong, he didn't actually take it seriously. Releasing his aura was just a warning to the other party.

"Longquan Mountain? Zhou Mingyuan?"

The woman paused for a moment, then said, "Never heard of it."

sweat!
Chen Yang felt a little embarrassed for Zhou Mingyuan.

Have you never heard of Zhou Mingyuan, the dignified sword immortal of Longquan Mountain?

Zhou Mingyuan can be considered a recluse; people of his level rarely come into contact with him.

Therefore, we cannot say that they are ignorant and uninformed.

Zhou Mingyuan frowned slightly. "How shall I address you, fellow Daoist?"

"I……"

Upon hearing this, the woman fell silent for a moment, unable to reply.

"Who am I? Yes, who am I..."

She mumbled something under her breath, as if Zhou Mingyuan had asked her a very difficult question.

"You don't remember, do you?" Zhou Mingyuan asked.

Actually, this situation is not unusual.

Whether it's a wandering master or a demon, there's a process of dying and being reborn. Although their consciousness is preserved, it's inevitable that their consciousness will be damaged during the process of becoming a wandering master or a demon, and it's normal for their memories to be missing.

However, this deficiency can still be recovered with the deepening of one's cultivation and external stimuli.

The woman seemed not to hear Zhou Mingyuan's words, muttering to herself as she tried to recall something.

"Pang, Pang Guanglin? Me, my name is Pang Guanglin?"

She seemed to have remembered something; a name flashed through her mind, and she blurted it out.

"Cough cough..."

Chen Yang held the long whip, ready to lash it out at any moment, but when he suddenly heard her say this, he almost choked on his own saliva.

"Who are you talking about? Who are you?"

Chen Yang stared in disbelief at the woman in front of him.

The woman paused slightly, looked at Chen Yang, tilted her head slightly, and her eyes were sharp as knives, making Chen Yang's breath catch in his throat.

"And who are you?" the woman asked.

“My name is Chen Yang. The Pang Guanglin you mentioned is my family’s ancestor.”

Chen Yang was both amused and exasperated.

Pang Guanglin? Are you kidding me? How could my ancestor be a woman?

Upon hearing this, the woman was somewhat taken aback. "Grandmaster? You're my grand-disciple? I don't remember you. Wait, you look somewhat familiar..."

Chen Yang felt that this woman must be mentally deranged; what was she even saying?
The patriarch Pang Guanglin died in the 1960s, leaving behind only a trace of his consciousness, which was obtained by his uncle Huang Daolin and has now been returned to Fuhu Temple in Emei.

How could a woman suddenly appear?
Chen Yang looked to Zhou Mingyuan for help.

Zhou Mingyuan said, "When she became a demon, her consciousness was damaged and her memory was unclear. She may only remember this name, so she took it as her own name. However, since she remembers this name, it proves that she and Pang Guanglin should be familiar with each other."

Chen Yang thought it made sense, and immediately said to the woman, "Senior, our ancestor Pang Guanglin has been gone for more than sixty years."

"Is it?"

The woman frowned. "Then who am I?"

A black line appeared on Chen Yang's forehead.

Who are you, asking me? How am I supposed to know who you are?
Chen Yang looked at Zhou Mingyuan.

Zhou Mingyuan hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands in greeting to the woman. "Fellow Daoist, first of all, we mean you no harm, but this is really not the place to talk. How about we go down the mountain and discuss this further?"

Chen Yang was embarrassed. "You've already carried her up the mountain to take the fall, and you still say you had no ill intentions? No wonder this woman doesn't believe you."

The woman glanced at Zhou Mingyuan, then at Chen Yang, her gaze softening slightly, and her imposing aura subsided. "Do you have any clothes?"

Even though she had amnesia, she still had a basic sense of shame. She was only wearing a close-fitting undershirt, which exposed many parts of her body. She was still a little embarrassed in front of two grown men.

Chen Yang took out one of his own clothes from the system's inventory and handed it to the woman.

The Mountain Lord Seal also has storage space, which is not a secret among the upper echelons of the cultivation world. Therefore, even when Zhou Mingyuan saw Chen Yang take out clothes out of thin air, he did not find it strange. He also had a similar storage space.

The woman took the clothes and put them on. Although they didn't fit her perfectly, they at least covered her private parts.

She immediately jumped off the stone coffin.

Chen Yang put away the stone coffin, and the three of them immediately left.

……

-

The divine tribulation lightning didn't stop until Chen Yang and his group descended the mountain, when a few raindrops began to fall. The rain only lasted a few minutes before stopping.

This is a drop in the ocean compared to the drought that has been raging these days.

The lights were on in the main room of the Chen family's old house.

The woman went to the bathroom to take a shower.

"This is a corpse demon? It doesn't suck blood, does it?"

As Huang Can said this, he touched his neck.

He had just broken through to the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm, and his blood and energy were surging. When that woman looked at him just now, she licked her lips, which made him a little uneasy.

Chen Yang also looked at Zhou Mingyuan, but he didn't know much about beings like corpse demons.

He originally thought Zhou Mingyuan would kill the woman outright, but to his surprise, not only did he not kill her, he brought her back instead.

Didn't this bring back some trouble?

However, this woman mentioned Master Pang, so she might actually have some connection with him. If a conflict were to break out rashly, not to mention whether she could be eliminated, it would be difficult to handle if she involved any relatives or acquaintances.

Zhou Mingyuan shook his head. "An existence like this can sustain its energy consumption simply by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. As for blood-sucking, it wouldn't even look at the blood of ordinary people. Even if it were to suck blood, it would only suck the blood of high-level cultivators. You're only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm. In its eyes, you're probably just a cheap cup of bitter tea..."

Huang Can gave an awkward laugh.

Although he looked down on me, he was secretly pleased. It was good that he didn't care about my blood; I wouldn't have to worry about being sucked blood by her.

"But she looked so terrifying. I'm usually pretty brave, but when I saw her just now, I almost peed my pants..."

Huang Can was still shaken. He had just come down the mountain and seen that woman. Holy crap, she was terrifyingly beautiful.

Her figure was actually quite good, but her face... well, you could say she looked a little old, but that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was the wrinkles on her face; many of them were even bursting open and hanging down, which was extremely terrifying.

Let alone Huang Can, even Chen Yang, who was used to seeing all sorts of things, had to mentally prepare himself for a long time after seeing this woman's true face.

Their appearance was indeed rather indescribable.

The legend of the Corpse Demon being ugly is indeed true.

Zhou Mingyuan said, "She has just survived the tribulation of lightning and is shedding her skin."

"Shedding skin?" Chen Yang was somewhat surprised.

Zhou Mingyuan nodded, "When a Corpse Demon cultivates and advances to a higher realm, its physical body undergoes a transformation, and it will shed its skin once. This shed skin is called Corpse Shedding, and it is an extremely rare medicinal material. You can collect some later..."

Chen Yang's eyes flickered slightly, and he was about to say something when he heard a sound coming from the direction of the bathroom.

The three of them tacitly kept their mouths shut.
