When Zhou Ying heard this, she was also bewildered. She silently examined her body for a moment and found that there was nothing unusual about her. Although she was slightly anxious in her heart, she maintained a calm expression on her face and said, "Could it be that Daoist is joking? I don't think there's anything wrong with that. "
Zhang Zhen said, "If Zhenren Zhou feels that I am speaking empty words to intimidate you, there is no harm in taking several steps forward and looking at the stone mirror in front of my hall."
Zhou Ying looked up and saw a jade mirror hanging at the top of the hall. After hesitating for a moment, he walked down and looked up, only to see himself in the mirror. He was as thin as a stick, and there were holes all over his body. At this moment, there were poisonous insects coming in and out of the holes. He couldn't help but take two steps back in shock. He subconsciously looked at himself, only to find that he was still fine. Suddenly, a burst of anger rose in his heart, and he asked, "Daoist Zhang, why did you play with me? Is this how you treat your guests? "
Zhang Zhen said calmly, "This stone mirror is called 'Powang'. It can distinguish the real from the fake and restore the original. Just Now, what it is seeing is the real appearance of your soul, Zhenren Zhou. There is no falsehood at all."
Zhou Ying was doubtful and said, "Zhenren said that I have been affected by the demonic Qi, why can't I feel anything?"
Zhang Zhen said, "True Devil has three poisons: demonic aura, demonic thoughts, and devil fetus. Demonic aura harms the mind, demonic thoughts harms the soul, and devil fetus kills the truth. Although true Devil has many transformations, it cannot escape these three poisons. Zhou Zhenren is suffering from demonic aura. Does Zhou Zhenren feel that recently your heart is restless and irritable, easily stirring up the seven emotions, making it difficult for you to sit still?"
▲ ±, w, ww.
Zhou Ying's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, he had also calmed down. There was no reason for the Anatta Temple to fool him. He nodded slowly, "Indeed. After meeting the demon, I kept feeling unsteady. Could it be caused by the demonic Qi?"
Zhang Zhen said, "The devil head is an extremely yin and filthy thing, the yang energy invades the body. Then, we will strip it of its spiritual vigor and scatter it in the world. In the hands of the Devil Sect, it is a precious medicine for cultivation, but to us cultivators of the Xuanmen Sect, it is extremely poisonous. The higher the cultivation of the devil, the stronger the poison gas. If it wasn't for the fact that Zhenren had cultivated the Yuanying Dharmakaya, most of the Devil's Qi would've been dispelled by his own Qi of Righteousness, I'm afraid he would've been possessed by the devil by now. "
Elder Pu chimed in from the side, "Once one's mind is in a mess, it'll be easy for the demon to take advantage of it. If one doesn't have the means to exorcise the demon, it'll be hard for one to escape. Fellow Daoist Zhou, you can escape in time. It was also luck. "
Zhou Ying's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, it turned out that his family had just escaped death this time. He cupped his hands towards his seat and sincerely asked, "Forgive me for being unreasonable Just Now. Daoist Zhang, may I know how to resolve this demonic Qi? "
Zhang Zhen said, "That is not difficult. Zhou Zhenren, please stand in front of the steps."
Zhou Ying came to the Pill Emperor and saw that there was a Jade Pi Xiu on it. It looked like a living creature, and Zhang Xuan couldn't help but take a few more glances at it. However, in a moment of absent-mindedness, the creature suddenly leapt up, roared, and pounced towards him.
He was shocked, and a sense of fear rose up within him, and he didn't have the slightest intention to resist. He wanted to turn around and escape, but he couldn't move at all. He watched as the Pi Xiu entered his body, but in an instant, it came out from his back. In its mouth was a ball of black ink without hands or feet. Just by looking at it, he felt annoyed and nauseous.
The Pi Xiu swallowed the black shadow in a few mouthfuls, then returned to the Pill Emperor and squatted down, turning back into a jade statue.
Zhou Ying came back to his senses, and felt like Just Now was a dream. When he looked at his body again, he felt relaxed, as if he had taken off a thick layer of clothing.
Zhang Zhen said, "Zhenren Zhou can look at yourself in front of the mirror again."
Zhou Ying raised his head and looked again, but the reflection in the mirror didn't have any abnormalities, and looked normal. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and bowed, "Thank you Zhenren Zhang for your help. If not for you, I wouldn't even know that I've become a demon. Your sect's exorcism method is indeed the best in the nine continents."
Zhang Zhen returned the bow, and said, "Zhenren Zhou, you don't have to thank me. It's my duty to exorcise the demon."
Zhou Ying was now completely awake, and his mind was clear. Naturally, he knew the purpose of his visit, and said, "Please help your sect to subdue this true demon. My Yuxiao school will reward you handsomely after this."
Zhang Zhen said seriously, "Even if Zhenren Zhou didn't say it, I still have to go when the true demon appears. However, if the Devil's Doctrine intentionally releases this demon, they will definitely set up obstacles along the way to prevent Huanzhen Temple from interfering. Although I'm not afraid, if I'm delayed halfway, I'm afraid I'll delay the important matter. Please help me out from your sect."
Zhou Ying hesitated for a while. The altar was besieged by the Devil's Doctrine on the outside, and the true demon on the inside. He really didn't know how many people Zhou Ting could send. However, for the sake of his reputation, he couldn't say that he couldn't, so he said, "I'll write a letter now."
Zhang Zhen saw that his expression was strange, and thought for a while. She guessed that he was in a difficult situation, and turned to Wang Caiwei, who was sitting on the guest seat, and said, "Friend Wang, this is no longer a matter of your sect. Can you help out from your sect?"
Wang Caiwei also knew that the true demon was ever-changing, and it was impossible to guard against it. It was a great enemy of the world, so she didn't hesitate and said, "Zhenren Chen has to defend against the Xueshuo Sect, and I'm afraid he doesn't have any extra people. However, I can write a letter to my master, and ask him to send people here."
Zhang Zhen said softly, "It's really uneasy to alarm the Temple Master of Du Zhen. If there's a chance, I'll pay a visit to Zhenren Zhang at Qincang School, and personally thank you."
Wang Caiwei heard it, and couldn't help but feel happy.
She arrived at Huanzhen Temple a day ago, but coincidentally, the Devil's Cave appeared, so she couldn't see Zhang Zhen. Just Now, when she came back, she was invited into the hall, so she only briefly explained her intention, and didn't have a deep conversation. However, Zhang Zhen's words had a hint of closeness, and she thought that it wouldn't be difficult to complete the task entrusted by her master.
Zhou Ying heard the conversation between the two, and knew that Wang Caiwei was Zhang Yan's disciple. He couldn't help but sigh. To be able to get Zhenren Zhang's help was good, but if word got out, those who didn't know the inside story might think that Yuxiao was asking for help from Qincang School. However, at this moment, he didn't have time to think about this. To be able to kill the true demon was already a great fortune.
He shook his head, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a letter. He then used his mana to send it out.
Wang Caiwei didn't fall behind, and also sent a letter to her master.
It wasn't easy to subdue a true demon, and only a true treasure could suppress it. Zhang Zhen still needed to report to the Heavenly Abode of the Gate of Life to ask for help, but even so, there was only a 50% chance of success.
Zhou Ying saw that the Heavenly Abode Zhenren was alerted, and he knew that he owed a big favor. He was also worried, and he didn't know how the Zhenren in the sect would react when they knew about this.
At this moment, a few letters flew in from outside the hall. Elder Pu went forward to receive them, and personally placed them on the table in front of the hall.
Zhang Zhen took them, and held them in her hands to read them quietly.
Wang Caiwei had been in charge of the Heavenly Lake of Zhao You for many years, and she was also experienced. Just from this one detail, she could tell that Zhang Zhen was very skillful, and she had trained her subordinates to be obedient. Otherwise, a famous elder in the sect like Elder Pu wouldn't be so respectful and careful.
Just Now, Wang Caiwei had something on her mind, so she didn't pay attention to it. Now that she took a look, she saw that Zhang Zhen was very beautiful, and she had jade bones and ice skin. Among all the female cultivators she had seen, other than Big Martial Sister Liu Yanyi, no one could compare to her.
But when she took a closer look, she felt that her facial features were very similar to her master's, and even their expressions were somewhat similar. She couldn't help but think, 'Her common name is also Zhang, could it be that she's related to my master in some way?'
While she was lost in her thoughts, a little child with a ponytail suddenly came bouncing into the hall. He faced everyone in the hall, raised his little face, and said with a tone of an old man, "Who is it that wants to ask this old man to come forward?"
His expression was really funny, but no one dared to laugh. Zhang Zhen stood up from the table, walked down the stairs, and bowed, and said, "Zhizheng Zhenren, it's junior Zhang Zhen who is asking for you."
Zhou Ying heard the way she addressed him, and knew that this little child was one of the Twin Demon Subduing Mirrors of Huanzhen Temple, the 'Zhizheng Divine Mirror'. It was said that this Zhen Bao had an eccentric temper, and did things as he pleased. Afraid of offending him, he lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at him.
The little child took a few glances at Zhang Zhen, and said, "You're Pang Yunxiang's disciple? Your Shifu treats me respectfully, and it's boring to stay in the sect. Since there's a True Devil playing around, I'll follow you to take a stroll. "Finished speaking, his body turned into a stream of light and submerged into Zhang Zhen's sachet.
Zhang Zhen saw that the Zhen Bao was already in her possession, so she didn't want to waste any more time. She gave a few instructions to the people below, and brought everyone out. They got on the carriage, and flew into the sky, and together with everyone else, they headed towards the demon's cave.
Not long after they left the mountain gate, they heard a sound from the horizon, like the rumbling of thunder, rolling towards them. They turned their heads to look and saw a blazing rainbow breaking through the clouds, flying straight towards the carriage.
Everyone looked at the momentum, and knew that the person who came must have borrowed the talisman of the Dongtian Zhenren, or else he wouldn't be able to travel at such a godly speed.
The light landed, and stopped a thousand feet away from them. Then, a young Daoist dressed in a plain Daoist robe walked out, and he looked like a tall crane.
Wang Caiwei was a little surprised when she saw him. She thought that her master would send Eldest Apprentice Sister or Second Apprentice Brother here, or at least a few elders from the Du Zhen Hall. She didn't expect that this Zhenren would come, and she bowed, and said, "Greetings, Zhenren Lu."
Lu Junyang nodded at her, and said, "Martial Niece, you may rise."
There were people who guessed his identity, and some avoided him, and some went up to greet him, but he responded to all of them indifferently.
After greeting each other, everyone continued their journey. This time, because they didn't have the help of the talisman, they traveled for two days before they were a thousand miles away from the demon's cave.
When they arrived, the sky suddenly darkened. Everyone looked over, and saw a cloud of dark purple smoke hanging in the sky, blocking the sun and the sky. It was dead silent, as if there was no life in the world, and they didn't know that someone from the Devil Sect was blocking their way.
Lu Junyang looked over, and said lightly, "You guys go first."
Zhang Zhen nodded, and said, "I'll leave it to Zhenren Lu." She turned the carriage around, and the people behind her went around it.
The dark smoke in the sky slowly parted, and a middle-aged Daoist with a wide forehead and a hawk nose came out, and his face was deathly pale. He bowed, and said, "I am Sima Quan, may I ask if you are Zhenren Lu Junyang, who took the life of my sect's Elder Le?"
Lu Junyang didn't say anything, and only bowed back, which was a tacit agreement.
Sima Quan chuckled, and there was a faint smile on his face, and he deliberately said in a sarcastic tone, "I didn't want to meet Zhenren Lu here. It's a rare opportunity, and I'll have to experience it. I only hope that Zhenren Lu doesn't live up to his name like your master!"
