Chapter 107 Demonic Abyss

The Taoist temple is dilapidated, half of the wooden door has fallen down, and weeds are growing inside. The bluestone steps in my memory have been buried by the soil, and only a little is exposed. It is half buried in the soil and vegetation, and returns to nature with the change of seasons.

Li Yi moved his eyes slightly to the right and saw a pit. The weeds around the pit were all dead, and a dark trace extended into the Taoist temple.

In my memory, it should be the grave of a Taoist priest. More than ten years ago, people would come here to worship, but as the previous generation grew older, this Taoist priest who had cured countless people also disappeared with the wind.

Li Yi stepped up the bluestone steps that were half covered by soil, and gently pushed open the half-rotten wooden door. The Taoist temple, which had been dusty for more than ten years, welcomed its first living person.

Inside, weeds emerged from the cracks in the stones, a few bats hung on the beams, and there were various animal excrements on the table where the statues of the Three Pure Ones were enshrined, and a figure sat cross-legged there.

His skin was green and white, his eye sockets were sunken, his fingers were like hooks, and his teeth were sticking out of his lips like sharp knives. Within three feet of him, all the vegetation was withered, and a cold breath hit his face.

Yin corpses gather the evil energy and are disgusting to the heavens.

In a modern context, they are zombies, but they don't jump around, and they are not afraid of glutinous rice, black dog blood, etc. They are extremely powerful, have a strong body and don't know pain, and the corpse poison on their bodies is also the best in the same realm.

Poison, a drop of blood from the Nascent Soul Stage Corpse King can contaminate a radius of more than ten miles.

It is a kind of evil spirit that is more difficult to deal with. It can be scared away by any strong adult man like ghosts. However, even if the Inferi kills ordinary mortals such as chickens, and it is contagious to a certain extent, it is easy to do so.

Cause panic.

However, it is basically difficult for ordinary Yin corpses to reach the level of golden elixir. Without a soul and a corpse that does not cultivate the method, there is no hope of golden elixir unless there is a great opportunity. Of course, there are also monks who have become monks on the way and have trained themselves into Yin corpses in order to extend their lifespan.

Li Changsheng also researched it out of curiosity, but later he was disappointed to find that the method of training oneself into an Inferi might as well be buried under the River of Forgetfulness. Sacrifice of one's body into an Inferi can indeed extend one's lifespan, but in the following years one has to face the dangers carried by the Inferi all the time.

Contaminated by filth, not many people can stay awake for thousands of years in this state.

He was already dead when he lost his mind, and all that survived was his body.

If the old people under the River of Forgetfulness spend their long years sleeping, then the Inferi lie on the charcoal and roast.

He once conducted an experiment with a Nascent Soul Corpse King. Assuming that he did not use special methods to put himself into a deep sleep, the Nascent Soul Corpse King could only stay awake for 10 consecutive years.

"Is the current environment enough to give birth to an Inferi?"

Li Yi looked at the Yin corpse in front of him. Since the vision in the Bodhi Realm, the concentration of spiritual energy in this world has indeed increased a lot, and it is still increasing slowly until now.

Take myself as an example. In the past, he used to sit at home and absorb spiritual energy within a radius of dozens of miles to maintain the spiritual energy at the foundation-building stage at most. Now he has reached the peak of foundation-building. If he expands the scope and intensity of absorption, he can reach the golden elixir stage.

This is very important for ordinary monks, at least they can already supply a small amount of mana from the environment.

The increase in spiritual energy concentration is not all good. It is feared that things in the demonic abyss of the previous life will also be reincarnated, and demons and ghosts will be born naturally. This is a huge challenge for China, which maintains a delicate balance.

Li Yi let out a little breath, and the corpse in front of him shook slightly. He suddenly opened his eyes, which were a pair of red and bloodshot eyes. In an instant, the surrounding scene suddenly changed, and countless hands emerged from the ground.

The surrounding temperature dropped suddenly, and a layer of frost began to appear on the ground.

Illusion? It also has a hint of Wangchuan.

Li Yi was slightly surprised. Inferi generally rely on their powerful bodies, and very few are born with some special abilities. The one in front of him is obviously one of those few, but the aura contained in it makes Li Yi suspect that it may be because of the current situation in the world.

Caused by abnormal circumstances.

They lost their shackles because they lost the way of heaven, and the Inferi may have benefited from this.

For example, the Inferi in front of you may be frozen in place even if the Foundation Establishment Monk meets its eyes. If you leave it alone for a while, the cold water may be eaten away by it.

It won't be the first, nor will it be the last.

But for Li Yi, it's the same, whether it's the Bodhi Realm or the Demonic Abyss, no matter how powerful you were in your previous life, you're just a loser.

Li Changsheng could defeat them in the past, but now that he has lived for more than 5,000 years, he can naturally defeat himself. His only enemy is himself.

And it just so happens that I am always stronger than I was before.

The Inferi suddenly opened its mouth, and its withered face was instantly cracked, revealing its pale teeth. Following the Inferi's instinctive desire for living creatures, it pounced forward.

As it flew, the shadow behind it surged like waves.

A putrid smell hit his face. Li Yi's expression remained as usual, without even raising his eyelids, he raised his right hand and reached forward.

"Master Taoist, it's time to rest."

The palm is white and slender, lightning flashes on the fingertips, Zhu Xie retreats.

The slight sound of thunder, all the filth, all the coldness, and all the unknown were turned into powder. The inferi turned into tiny particles like sand washed by the waves, and many other illusions also disappeared with it.

Thunder is originally the most yang thing in the world. In the face of these evil things, Xiaowu Lei Zhengfa is more effective than the Buddha statue of the monk.

Everything returned to calm, the Taoist temple was not damaged at all, and it was no longer as cold as before.

Li Yi exhaled, and a wisp of breeze picked up the white ash on the ground and sent it back to the hole outside the Taoist temple. The soil healed on its own, leaving only the withered vegetation around it.

I glanced at the Taoist temple again and looked at the Sanqing statue quietly for a few times. The scorched black marks extended to its feet.

He turned around and left the Taoist temple and walked into the forest path.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes

As if everything had truly returned to peace, suddenly the statue cracked, and a stone piece as big as a palm fell down from the right eye, revealing the inside of the statue.

It's not a stone, but a mass of scarlet flesh. The flesh contracts and relaxes, and there is an eye covered with black cracks on it.

The strange eyes are full of fear, it is obviously a terrifying existence

It originally had some doubts, but when the lightning flashed, it knew that what it feared most had happened.

That person has also been reincarnated.

No, I have to go back to the Demon Abyss!

All the fear turned into this thought. He had tried his best to stand out from countless "roommates" and finally climbed out of that place and escaped from the prison. He thought that by now the dragon would enter the sea and the roc would spread its wings to fight for the world.

The first opportunity.

He came to this temple just after leaving, and happened to get a mummy that had not decayed for more than ten years, with some Yin Qi in it, and he sacrificed it into an Yin corpse.

It was such a wonderful start, but I didn’t expect that on the second day, I would encounter that evil spirit!

The fear that came from his true spirit made him stop thinking about great opportunities. At this moment, the Demon Abyss that he hated so much was simply heaven, as warm as home.

Although the Demonic Abyss is now suppressed in the depths of the River of Forgetfulness, coupled with the huge population of this world, and the confusing mental thoughts rushing like a torrent, it is difficult for them to escape. But at least they are safe, and at least there is no such person.

The world without him would be heaven.

Fortunately, I burned my true spirit decisively just now and tried my best to cover up my aura, so he probably didn't notice me.

"Sure enough, you mice have also been reincarnated."

A calm voice suddenly sounded, and the fear in the statue's eyes reached its peak, almost solidifying.

Before it could make any reaction, it heard a roar from the sky and a bolt of thunder falling.

Boom!!!

The statue exploded, and the flesh and blood inside turned into flying ash. Fear made it unable to generate any resistance, and it was unable to resist.

Li Yi, who was walking on the mountain road, looked back slightly, then continued walking down, when suddenly a white-headed langur ran out from the corner.

It was holding a bunch of mushrooms in its hand. When it saw Li Yi, it immediately showed a flattering smile and put the mushrooms into the basket very consciously. Then it pulled his trousers, pointed in a certain direction, and kept calling.

Primates like monkeys have significantly higher intelligence quotients than other animals.

"Monkey wine?"

Li Yi thought for a moment and recalled that the monkey wine he drank in his previous life tasted really good. I wonder what the monkey wine in this world is like?

He nodded slightly: "Yes."

The white-headed langur jumped up excitedly and kept clapping.

Leaving the mountain trail and entering the quiet woods, I heard the chirping of birds and cicadas, and finally came to the foot of a big banyan tree.

A group of monkeys hang on the treetops. The white-headed langur is obviously the leader of the group and is welcomed by all monkeys.

Some monkeys picked banana leaves and spread them on the ground, some monkeys brought various wild fruits, and some monkeys put the picked mushrooms into their vegetable baskets. Soon the monkeys prepared their own feast.

Li Yi sat on a banana leaf. The Monkey King rolled up a cup with the leaves and took out a cup of monkey wine from the cave, which contained a trace of spirituality.

He took the monkey wine from the monkey king's hands and tasted it carefully. It was sour in the mouth but sweet in the aftertaste.

Honey, spiritual fruit, and banana tree nectar should be added to it.

"Brewed from spiritual fruit, it's pretty good."

The Monkey King seemed even more happy to receive the praise, and let out a long roar. The rich roar startled the birds, and the surrounding monkeys that had not activated their intelligence also started to scream. Although it was a roar, it was not chaotic, and followed the Monkey King.

It's as if they are singing their own song.

The apes in the mountains can't stop crying, and the immortals are enjoying themselves while drinking wine.

Li Yi was slightly drunk. He raised his hand and touched his ear. The guzheng flew out and landed in front of him. The long sound of the piano spread and echoed in the mountains.

Drinking with people is a joy, drinking with monkeys is also a joy.

The joy of exploring and outing lies in this.

——

On the mountain trail, familiar figures are walking up. These two people are Li Lili and Tang Huiyun.

After the two of them sent their friend to Li Yi's house, they put down their heavy backpacks and turned back, not to climb the mountain but to look for Li Yi.
