There is a trick

Chapter 107 Liu Benzun's Ten Refining Diagrams (4K, 1/2)

"As soon as you show up, you will be killed by the spirit medium of the God of Wealth..."

Zhou Chang's pupils shrank.

He put his hand over his left eye.

In the left eye, with darkness as the background, the large text of "Dapin Xindan Sutra" seems to be surrounding the golden horizontal eye in the center. In fact, it is the golden horizontal eye that imprisons the large text of the sutra.

"When I was fighting the Xielong Temple medium, something strange happened to me." Zhou Chang whispered, "A golden eye grew in the center of my left eye. This eye—"

Before he finished speaking, Bai Ma's face turned grim.

Bai Ma looked at Zhou Chang and whispered, “That horizontal eye is the gaze of the God of Wealth—it has been eyeing you for a long time.

The mediums in Xielong Temple can also quickly find you with the help of the gaze that the God of Wealth has placed on you.

That horizontal eye, is it growing in your pupil?
Has it taken root in you... completely?"

"What would happen if it grew in the pupil?
What will happen if it takes root?" Zhou Chang's heart was heavy.

"Growing in the pupil means it has taken root." At this point, Bai Ma actually relaxed a little.

She looked coldly at Zhou Chang who was covering his left eye, and said: "If it takes root, your left eye will also be the eye of the God of Wealth - he can use your eye to see everything you see.

Now that I meet you, it is equivalent to being seen by the God of Wealth, and I cannot escape death.

On the contrary, that golden eye is just a mark for now, allowing the medium in Xielong Temple to easily lock onto your location.

Take your hands off.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in covering it up.”

Zhou Chang slowly put down his hand after hearing this.

He opened his left eye, looked through the large pieces of frozen scripture text, and met Bai Ma's gaze.

Bai Ma looked nervous and carefully observed Zhou Chang's pupils.

After a while, she visibly relaxed a little: "It hasn't taken root yet..."

Her words made Zhou Chang feel a little more relaxed.

But the crisis was not over. As long as this golden eye existed in his field of vision, it would sooner or later erode his pupils and take root in his eyes. By then, the King of Wealth would be able to see all the current situations, and it would be inevitable!
What's more, even at this moment, the three monks of Xielong Temple can use the gaze of the God of Wealth to lock on Zhou Chang's position!

They might be approaching him right now - Zhou Chang asked Bai Ma in a low voice: "How can we get rid of this gaze?"

Bai Ma looked at him, paused for a moment, and said expressionlessly: "The only way is to gouge out the eyes that are being looked at..."

"Can you bear the pain of having your eyes gouged out?"

"After your eyes are gouged out, you will lose your left eye and become a one-eyed man. Can you accept this?"

"It doesn't matter, the eyes are on you, and you are the one who makes the decision...

If you can't make up your mind, you might as well separate from everyone for the time being, so that everyone won't get into trouble because of you..."

Amid Bai Ma's repeated words, Zhou Chang murmured, "Dig out the eyes..."

He covered his left eye with his hand again and fell silent.

He supported himself on the ground with his other hand and slowly stood up. He looked past the half rammed earth wall that blocked the distance between him and Miss Bai, and looked towards the deserted courtyard covered with weeds and dead vines.

My grandfather is still in a coma, and he always smells like smoke from burning incense.

Uncle Yang became much thinner. The 'enemy' could not take revenge on the pockmarked monk, so he ate a layer of his flesh and blood instead. He used one of his fingers to pay off his debt, and his body was incomplete. Although he comforted Zhou Chang that this was also to make up for the five disadvantages and three deficiencies, Zhou Chang knew it in his heart.

There was only Uncle Yang, and he could obviously have kept himself out of trouble;
Of the thirty or so brothers in Wang Daxiong's caravan, only twelve remained, and Qian Zhou was dead.
The corpse-driving team faced the same situation, and one of Yang Xifeng's legs was almost crippled - the pockmarked monk still caused the blood vessels in his left leg, which was not protected by the lion skin, to burst, and drew out some of the blood in the veins.

Most people in the yard were silent.

The heavy weight of despair weighed on everyone's heart, making them unwilling to talk.

"And I——"

Zhou Chang lowered his eyes.

"How can I be immune to this?"

He had a plan in mind.

As if it knew that he had made up his mind at this moment - the scene in his right eye shook, and a few incomplete and distorted words of "Dapin Xindan Sutra" appeared in the corner of his right eye.

Zhou Chang recognized these distorted words.

These were the distorted words that revealed to him the first-grade technique in the Sutra Library, "The Combination of Three Gods and Eight Weirdos".

At this moment, several distorted characters were changing in the corner of his right eye, trying to transform into words he could understand: "Gouge out your eyes to testify, and practice the "Ten Refining Diagrams of Liu Benzun"."

"The Ten Refining Diagrams of Master Liu?"

Zhou Chang's mind was slightly moved: "Can I practice cultivation just by gouging out my eyes?"

The twisted words immediately changed again: "After the eyes are gouged out, it may be possible."

"This book is not in the collection."

"But I use the pain of having my eyes gouged out to demonstrate my own perseverance."

“Maybe you can be inspired by this picture.”

Perhaps these are the only words left in the "Dapin Xindan Sutra" that have not been imprisoned by the golden horizontal eye. These words need to be changed repeatedly and made as concise as possible in order to convey the meaning they want to express to Zhou Chang.

Zhou Chang nodded.

He had never thought that he would have such an unexpected gain after gouging out his eyes.

Now he no longer has the energy to distinguish the truth from falsehood of the information conveyed by these distorted texts. Even if what the other party threw out was a bait, he had no choice but to give it a try - including the second volume of "The Great Wheel Sutra of Karma Fire Burning the Body", which he would try one by one!

Zhou Chang squatted down again.

Bai Ma looked at him with a sarcastic look and said nothing.

"I will go my separate ways from everyone else, and you will go with me." Zhou Chang said.

"You don't want to gouge out your eye, so you split up with everyone else - but you want Bai Xiu'e to go with you. Not to mention her personal safety, even I will be killed by you!" Bai Ma narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice.

"To sew up the mouth of the Black God of Wealth, one needs 'something that has never existed in the world'.

My Nian Si and Miss Bai’s lotus root silk can be counted as such.

After all, a corpse turning into lotus roots has never existed in this world, and thoughts turning into silk threads are also not something that exists in this world.

But I am afraid that I am not able to sew up the mouth of the Black God of Wealth with my mind alone." Zhou Chang said to Bai Ma, "So I need Miss Bai to accompany me. If there is a chance, we can try to suppress a medium.

Besides, I didn’t say I wasn’t willing to gouge out my eyes to avoid the risk.

I agreed to this matter. "

If Zhou Chang hesitated and was unwilling to gouge out his eyes, Bai Ma thought that it was understandable.

The cruelty of gouging out eyes is unbearable for any normal person.

However, she did not expect that Zhou Chang would agree to this matter so readily.

The other party was so straightforward that she became even more suspicious: "Do you mean what you say?"

"no sooner said than done."

Zhou Chang nodded.

“If you want to trick me into contributing, I advise you not to waste your time.

Next, unless you really gouge out your eyes, I will never show up again!" Bai Ma's beautiful and bright face was full of dark clouds. She would never believe Zhou Chang just because of a few words.

Although she and the other party promised to cooperate sincerely, there were always many secrets between them.

These secrets are not easy to expose to the other party.

After the words, Bai Ma's face suddenly disappeared in the ripples on Bai Xiu'e's face. Bai Xiu'e's face became smooth and flawless, as if nothing had changed.

She looked at Zhou Chang, her eyes full of worry: "You, do you really want to gouge out an eye? Bai Ma will not appear in front of you in the future, and you won't be able to see her with that horizontal eye... But if you lose your eye, in the future..."

If you gouge out an eye, how can you grow another one in the future?
Zhou Chang understood the hidden meaning of Bai Xiu'e's words.

His expression relaxed, and he said with a smile, "In this kind of world, who can say that there is no such thing as gouging out one's eyes and then regenerating them?
Miss Bai, don't worry about me.

But I am taking the liberty of asking you to accompany me. During the journey, you may encounter many risks..."

"If you're not afraid of having an eye gouged out, why should I be afraid?

I'm not afraid." Bai Xiu'e shook her head and interrupted him, "My father took shelter in your family, and now I can follow those capable people, who can save his life and let me fulfill my filial piety. I also want to thank you for letting me have no worries."

"Okay." Zhou Chang said gently, "Let's go and say goodbye to them."

……

"It's really unwise to split our forces into two groups now!"

After hearing Zhou Chang's decision, Wang Tiexiong, Yang Xifeng and others frowned and shook their heads in opposition.

Zhou Chang had thought about the current situation a long time ago, but he couldn't just leave without saying goodbye - if he left without saying goodbye at this time, he was afraid that other people would make groundless guesses, adding a layer of gloom to everyone's already desperate hearts.

"We all gathered together and encountered those three evil monks. We clung to each other and still had the strength to fight.

But if we split into two groups and encounter those three evil monks again, I'm afraid we will just have to scatter separately." Wang Tiexiong continued.

"I understand, I understand." Zhou Chang nodded, and suddenly said, "But when we gathered together before and met those three evil monks, wasn't the situation also a mess?

The other party's methods are too powerful. For us, if we get together and get found by them, we will lose everything.

But if we split into two groups, if one group is found, it can buy some time for the other group.

——As long as we delay for another two or three hours, things will take a turn for the better.

And I might as well be frank with you all -

Now that the three monks have found the corpse, their most important task has clearly been accomplished.

Yet they still want to hunt and kill people everywhere, even if they are evil monks, there must be a purpose for doing this, right?"

"What is the purpose?" Moltke couldn't help asking.

"Their goal now is to find me." Zhou Chang said in a deep voice, "I've been targeted by the Treasure King!"

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, regardless of whether they were true or false, the whole place fell silent.

Wang Tiexiong's face trembled and he was speechless for a while.

Yang Xifeng opened his mouth and said after a while: "There is no need to say such an unlucky thing just to get everyone to fulfill your plan..."

"I didn't lie to you." Zhou Chang smiled and said, "The first person to be killed by the three monks of Xielong Temple should be me - I can separate from you and lead them around in circles to buy some time for you.

But if I stay here, I will bring disaster to you all.

Everyone, if you hesitate to make a decision, you will suffer the consequences.

If you encounter the three monks chasing you again, remember to be like a gecko cutting off its tail to survive. Otherwise, if you delay, you will end up causing more deaths!"

After he said this, no one tried to keep him.

Zhou Chang looked at his grandfather, Yang Rui and Shi Danzi in the crowd. He stammered, but in the end he said nothing and turned and left.

After taking a few steps, Yang Xifeng came up with a limp, supported by Mao Qi.

Yang Xifeng handed Zhou Chang a bag and a pipe, and said, "In the bag are the fire-drinking talismans that Wang Guotou got from the Taoist priest Huo Ju. There are five of them in total. You should use them sparingly.

The pipe's tobacco pouch contains specially made tobacco leaves containing 'Fire Kuixing'.

When a person is whipped, his soul will be burned to death instantly, without any pain and without damage to his body.

...I don’t have anything good to give you, so just keep the pipe.”

"it is good.

Thank you, Master Yang, and thank Wang Guotou for me." Zhou Chang nodded.

Yang Xifeng pulled him, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter with the corpse not decaying? Did you know about it a long time ago?"

Zhou Chang nodded: "When I saw it that night, I realized that it was not a dead object."

"Not dead?"

Yang Xifeng was surprised when he heard this: "With the skills of the corpse-driving team, there is no problem in verifying whether a person is dead or alive.

We examined the woman - this is a dead body...

You think she's not dead?"

"The female corpse is indeed dead." Zhou Chang said.

"Huh?" Yang Xifeng was even more confused.

"I used a special method to see that the woman was indeed a dead body.

But there is a living person hidden in this dead body." Zhou Chang replied, "So when the coffin was dragged apart, the living person in the dead body felt that he could no longer disguise himself and conceal his breath, so he jumped up and ran away immediately."

The so-called "special method" Zhou Chang mentioned was to use the "Dapin Xindan Sutra" to see the true and false of the white-haired woman's corpse.

When he carried the coffin of the corpse of the demon and walked into the funeral cemetery that night, not only were the corpse of the demon and the corpse of the white-haired woman attracted to each other, but the food energy of the white-haired woman continued to flow into the corpse of the demon, "urinating" all over the floor. Even the red rope on Zhou Chang's wrist seemed to want to swim into the coffin of the incorruptible corpse.

At that time, Zhou Chang speculated that this incorruptible corpse might have some mysterious connection with the corpse and himself.

He guessed that this uncorrupted corpse might even be a "shell of life".

But after Yang Xifeng said that the uncorrupted corpse was that of a woman, Zhou Chang temporarily suppressed his inner speculation.

Only when everyone was asleep, he used the "Dapin Xindan Sutra" to observe -

Unexpectedly, this action at that time actually confirmed his guess.

A corpse is not itself actually a corpse.

But it is indeed wrapped in a "shell of life"!
"There's a living person hidden in the corpse?!" Yang Xifeng's puzzlement was solved, but he was even more surprised, "How could he hide it?!"

"There must be some secret method." Zhou Chang said, "I didn't want to cause any trouble. I planned to find out the truth about this incorruptible corpse after the matter of the corpse was completely resolved and I was traveling with your corpse-driving team.

The current situation leaves it with nowhere to hide.

It may become our enemy because of this - you must be careful of its attacks along the way.

However, I guess it is currently concentrating on avoiding the three monks from Xielong Temple, and it should not be able to deal with you and me for the time being.

Just be more careful.”

In fact, Zhou Chang felt that even if this incident had not happened, the life shell hidden in the rotten corpse would sooner or later take action against him.

He had no special evidence, but he always had this strong feeling in his heart.

It seems that whenever two identical 'people' meet, one of them must die!
"Row."

Yang Xifeng nodded, reached out and patted Zhou Chang on the shoulder: "You should also be more careful.

Come back alive and travel with our corpse-carrying team!"

"Okay." Zhou Chang smiled.

However, even if the matter could be resolved this time, he was afraid that it would be unlikely for him to follow Yang Xifeng and his group on their journey across the country.

Grandpa turned into a spirit medium, lost consciousness, and his body began to gradually turn into clay. He had to find a way to wake Grandpa up first.
