Taoist priests in the supernatural world

The yaksha had a blue face and fangs, and its eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The moment it appeared, not only the old woman, but also everyone around her was startled.

The chilling aura rushed towards you, causing a dull ache between your brows, as if you were being targeted by some kind of man-eating monster.

The old aunt's face turned deathly pale.

"I...I'll take you there, I'll take you there right now..."

She originally thought that these people were just ordinary people who knew a little about magic, and at most they could draw talismans and chant incantations.

It wasn't until the Yaksha appeared that she truly understood that this person was completely different from the temple priests and sorcerers she had met before.

Inside the shrine of the Great Black Buddha Mother, the incense smoke was dim.

The old aunt led the way, trembling, with Huang Bai and Chen Lixing following behind, while the rest stayed outside to guard the door.

As soon as they entered the temple, the old woman turned her back to the two of them, and a very subtle cunning glint flashed in her eyes.

That expression vanished in an instant; if Huang Bai hadn't been paying close attention, he would have hardly noticed it.

The next moment, something unexpected happened.

Wow!

Suddenly, a cloud of black mist shot out from the altar, rushing straight at the two men's faces like a living thing.

boom!

The Yaksha reacted extremely quickly, stepping aside to block the way, and inhaled deeply. Before the black mist could even disperse, it had already swallowed the entire mass of it.

At the same time, Huang Bai raised his hand and cast a Sun Spell.

A golden light pierced the sky and struck the black altar directly.

The black jar exploded with a deafening roar, and the remaining malevolent energy inside vanished instantly under the scorching yang energy, leaving not even a trace of smoke behind.

Chen Lixing looked at the shards scattered on the ground, his face darkening.

"This is a type of Gu poison from Southeast Asia."

He gripped the copper coin sword in his hand, ready to summon a deity to possess him at any moment.

"It seems that the methods of the Great Black Buddha Mother are not just curses, but also involve Gu and poison."

When the old aunt saw that her secret arrangements had no effect, she immediately pretended to be panicked.

"It's none of my business! I don't know anything about it! I don't know why there's something like this here!"

Huang Bai glanced at her.

"It's too late."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow flashed from his sleeve.

The ribbon transformed into a snake.

The black cobra shot out swiftly, as fast as an arrow skimming the ground, and bit through the old woman's throat.

Before the old woman could even scream, she swayed and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Chen Lixing's heart skipped a beat as he watched this scene.

Mr. Huang acted much more decisively than he had expected.

This kind of person probably has more than one or two lives on their hands.

Huang Bai ignored his reaction, squatted down and searched the old woman's body for a while, and quickly found several old booklets recording the methods of refining poisonous water and Gu, as well as some records about sealing the Great Black Buddha Mother.

Chen Lixing took a look and his expression darkened even more.

"The fact that the Great Black Buddha Mother could be sealed means that she is not infinitely powerful."

"It hasn't been wiped out after all these years. That means it's not easy to kill. Now it's up to you to decide."

"Of course we'll kill it," Huang Bai answered decisively. "If we don't deal with it properly today, it will still come out and harm people in a few decades."

Huang Bai did not explicitly state that this was the meaning of a celestial edict.

"Alright." Chen Lixing let out a breath. "I'll accompany you on this adventure, even though I'm an old man."

True gods don't descend to the mortal realm casually. No matter how fiercely the Great Black Buddha Mother caused trouble, she was only causing trouble near Chenjia Village. It wasn't to the point that the gods had to personally descend to the mortal realm to suppress her.

When a true god intervenes, it is often to confront a great demon whose blood flows like rivers and whose power shakes the world.

Neither Huang Bai nor Chen Lixing knew that the reason why Baihe Tongzi was willing to lend his magic and tools was largely due to the influence of the Jinhua Mountain lineage.

For guardian deities like the White Crane Boy and the General of Increase and Loss, actively subduing demons is never their first choice. Unless the evil creatures truly intrude into their territory or cause trouble right under their noses.

Following the instructions in the book, the two continued to venture deeper into the area.

After bypassing several hidden doors and alleyways, we finally arrived at a secluded stone chamber.

After all that commotion, it was almost dark.

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from the end of the passage.

Huang Bai raised his hand to stop Chen Lixing.

"Don't move yet."

He closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then a look of understanding quickly appeared on his face.

The two immediately retreated into the shadows and held their breath.

The footsteps grew closer.

A short while later, a woman stumbled in.

Her face was covered in black lines, she was clutching a camera tightly in her arms, muttering incoherently, and seemed completely erratic. It was Li Ruonan.

She walked along, muttering to herself:

"Duoduo will be alright...she'll be alright..."

"If we spread the curse, if we let more people see it, it won't just fall on us..."

Huang Bai stood in the shadows, watching her coldly.

Li Ruonan came here clearly intending to photograph the true face of the Great Black Buddha Mother and then find a way to spread it, thereby weakening the curse on herself and Duoduo.

To put it bluntly, it's about using more innocent people to share the burden of the curse.

She followed the secret passage forward, smashing the decorations and restrictions along the way, clearly no longer caring about anything else.

Soon, the view ahead opened up.

In the center of the stone chamber stood a pitch-black Buddha statue.

The Buddha statue had eight arms, a slender and eerie body, and its material was indistinguishable as either stone or wood. Its head was covered with a red cloth, and several mirrors were placed next to it to suppress it.

As soon as Li Ruonan got closer, she seemed to lose her mind.

It was as if a voice was constantly bewitching her.

Open it.

Lift the red cloth.

As long as you see the true face of the Buddha Mother, you will receive Her power and will never have to fear ghosts, curses, or anything else again.

Li Ruonan walked over in a daze, her steps unsteady.

She had no idea that she wasn't there to ask for help, but to die.

The next moment, she reached out and slowly lifted the red cloth.

Wow!

The moment the red cloth hit the ground, Li Ruonan's face contorted in agony, and she let out a piercing scream, as if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

At that very moment, Huang Bai and Chen Lixing moved simultaneously.

"Now!"

Chen Lixing took a step forward, and his entire aura changed drastically.

His face was covered in blue paint, and his expression became stern and fierce. The person he had invited was none other than the Blue-Faced General.

"open!"

With a furious roar, Chen Lixing's sound waves took shape, forcefully dispersing the surging black energy around him.

Huang Bai followed closely behind, taking a step forward, his hands emitting white light.

"Certainly!"

It was the fixed character bestowed by the White Crane Boy.

A burst of white light spread out, instantly enveloping the entire stone chamber. Everything around seemed to slow down, even the swirling black mist seemed to freeze for a moment.

At the same time, Yaksha also pounced out.

Its towering, ghostly body hurtled along the ground, gripping a rusty iron chain as it charged fiercely toward the Buddha statue.

In this battle, it was the suicide soldier who stood at the forefront for Huang Bai.

Whoosh!

The tip of the chain pierced Li Ruonan's chest first.

The woman didn't even have time to utter a sound before she died on the spot.

The iron chain continued its momentum, then stabbed fiercely into the chest of the demon mother statue, clearly intending to use this attack to completely shatter its core.

boom!

Unfortunately, this attack did not achieve its intended purpose.

The iron chain was suddenly snapped open, and one of the Buddha's eight arms broke off, clearly having shielded the main body from disaster.

hum!

The iron chains that had been shaken off suddenly came to life, twisting in mid-air and coiling back like a snake, tightly binding the Buddha statue and tightening their grip.

clack clack...

The outer shell of the Buddha statue finally gave way and began to crack.

Fragments fell to the ground, revealing the pitch-black altar inside.

The altar is covered with esoteric Buddhist black lotus patterns, and in the center floats a woman's distorted and ferocious face.

The moment the altar was exposed, the entire secret passage trembled violently.

Black ripples spread rapidly, distorting the surrounding scenery.

The next moment, the world suddenly went dark.

The stone chamber, the secret passage, and the Buddha statue all disappeared.

Instead, there was only endless darkness.

Strands of black silk, as thin as hair, flew out from the altar. These threads intertwined and converged in the air, eventually transforming into the shape of an old woman in black.

The old woman had seven arms, her abdomen was open, and brown blood was constantly flowing out. She looked like both a Buddha and a ghost, exuding an indescribable eeriness.

Chen Lixing's expression changed immediately upon seeing this scene.

"Oh no, this is the realm of gods!"

The voice of the Great Black Buddha Mother also rang out, cold and malevolent, making people's eardrums tingle.

Why...?

"Why do you have to go against me?"

"A mere mortal dares to offend the majesty of the gods! Die!"

As it roared and fell, the ground beneath its feet instantly turned into a foul-smelling, sticky pool of blood.

Pale white hands emerged from the pool of blood, desperately reaching for the two men's ankles, as if trying to drag them into the abyss and drown them.

Huang Bai glanced down and sighed.

"I was hoping to save on two talismans."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and made a hand seal, using the last two talismans at once.

A protective talisman.

Golden light spread out, instantly forming a protective shield around the two, firmly isolating the surrounding blood pool and ghostly hand.

A talisman to ward off evil.

boom!

A three-foot bolt of lightning suddenly struck.
