"Brother Qingfeng, is Old Li okay like this?" Looking at the crazy Li Mingyao in front of him, he asked with some concern.

"You little brat are so smart. You put so many dirty things on him. Aren't you afraid that he will lose his soul and become a fool?" Taoist Qingfeng didn't seem to be worried. Instead, he walked happily towards the direction where the corpse demon fell.

This corpse demon is really unusual, except that it's a little too stupid. It didn't die after being struck by lightning. Instead, it kept twitching on the ground. However, it didn't look dead at all.

Taoist Qingfeng squatted in front of the corpse demon with a smile and asked, "Brother Zhuangyuan, you are really lucky. You are fine even in this situation."

The corpse demon still said foolishly: "I am not dead. According to the promise just now, your life is mine. Just wait, I can kill you when I recover."

I became even happier when I heard this. Even in this situation, he is still talking about killing Taoist Qingfeng. Isn't this just a waste of time

Based on my understanding of Taoist Qingfeng, can he really just stand there and let you kill him

Sure enough, Taoist Qingfeng laughed when he heard this and said, "Brother Zhuangyuan, I think you don't understand the situation. Well, I really want to fulfill my promise, but we can never coexist with good and evil. Today I can only eliminate demons and defend the way."

Although Zhuangyuan was stupid, he still understood what Taoist Qingfeng meant, which was to kill him. He immediately became furious and shouted, "You son of a bitch, you don't keep your promise. You will be struck by lightning sooner or later."

"I don't know if I will be struck by lightning, but Brother Zhuangyuan will be struck by lightning soon." After saying that, Taoist Qingfeng immediately took the Seven Star Steps and began to prepare for the "Heavenly Thunderbolt".

The corpse demon got anxious when he saw it, and kept cursing Taoist Qingfeng, but how could it have any effect? It was just a useless effort.

Seeing the dark clouds in the sky getting thicker and thicker, with lightning flashing inside, the corpse demon shouted helplessly, "Stop it now."

"If you say stop, then I will lose face, right

"I, I can tell you a secret, so you can spare my life." The corpse demon roared. Seeing this reminded me of a saying: the longer you live, the more afraid you are of death. I think the corpse demon must be the same.

When Taoist Qingfeng heard the word "secret", his eyes lit up. You have to know that this corpse demon is an old monster that has lived for who knows how many years. Something that it calls a secret must not be too ordinary.

Taoist Qingfeng stopped practicing, squinted his eyes and said: "It depends on whether this secret is worth your life. Equivalent exchange is popular now."

The corpse demon sneered and uttered four words: "Five drawbacks and three deficiencies."

When we heard these four words, Taoist Qingfeng and I were shocked. You know, the five disadvantages and three shortcomings are inevitable for those who practice Taoism. My master suffered from these shortcomings. He once told me that if he could find a way to overcome the five disadvantages and three shortcomings, he could live for at least another 20 years.

I still don't know what I have done wrong, but no matter what it is, it can't be a good thing. Looking at Taoist Qingfeng, he was also shocked. Although I don't know what his five disadvantages and three shortcomings are, he must want to solve his five disadvantages and three shortcomings.

"Are you serious? What secrets do you know about the five disadvantages and three shortcomings?" Taoist Qingfeng said viciously.

The corpse demon looked at us, as if he had expected it, and answered: "Of course I take it seriously. I am not a sinister villain like you. To tell you the truth, this secret can eliminate your five disadvantages and three shortcomings, but you must swear to heaven that you must let me go after knowing this secret."

At this time, I was confused. This corpse demon still believed in swearing. Could it be that he had not suffered yet? But later, I learned that oaths cannot be made casually. Ordinary people can forget about it, but it turns out that people who practice Taoism are originally pursuing the way of heaven. If they do not abide by the oath after making it, then the oath will definitely come true. Before, Taoist Qingfeng and the corpse demon only had a verbal agreement, so it didn't have any impact.

Taoist Qingfeng said without hesitation: "Listen to me carefully. If this secret of yours cannot solve the five disadvantages and three deficiencies, I will kill you even if I risk being struck by lightning."

Taoist Qingfeng then solemnly pointed to the sky, stretched out his right hand, raised three fingers and said loudly: "I, Wang Hu, swear to the sky today that if the corpse demon in front of me tells me the secret to cracking the five disadvantages and three deficiencies, I will spare his life. If he breaks his oath, he will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the corpse demon and said, "You can tell me now."

Unexpectedly, the corpse demon looked at me and said, "That boy hasn't sworn yet. If he wants to kill me later, wouldn't that be tragic?"

I didn't expect that this corpse demon had become smart at this time. I didn't hesitate, because if I knew this secret, then my master would have hope of prolonging his life. If calculated according to normal time, my master would only have two years to live.

I imitated Taoist Qingfeng and raised three fingers towards the sky and said, "I, Wu Jiu, swear to heaven today that if the corpse demon in front of me lets me know the secret of breaking the five disadvantages and three deficiencies, I will not harm his life. If I break my oath, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

It can be said that before I made this oath, I didn't believe in oaths. What a joke. This is the 21st century. There are ghosts, so it's okay. But can an oath really die because of a few words

But as soon as I finished saying these vows, I suddenly felt something inside my body flying into the sky. It was an indescribable and very strange feeling, and I only had a faint feeling.

The corpse demon nodded with satisfaction at this time. He glanced at the crazy Li Mingyao next to me, but then ignored him. It was obvious that Li Mingyao could not pose a threat to his life at this time.

"The method to solve the five disadvantages and three deficiencies is recorded in a book." The corpse demon said solemnly: "The name of this book is 'Yin Yang Record'. Yin Yang Record is a strange book written by a wise man in ancient times. There are so many things recorded in it. Any one of them is already extinct now."

"Let's get to the point. You must know where this thing is, right?" Taoist Qingfeng said harshly.

"Even if you say I know, I don't know. The Yin-Yang Record is divided into two parts. I don't know which one contains the method to break the five disadvantages and three deficiencies. But the last volume appeared in the hands of Qin Shihuang. I think he has taken it into his tomb." The corpse demon said with a laugh.

"Fuck." I suddenly got angry. Isn't that nonsense? Three thousand years, with so many tomb robbers, who has ever found Qin Shi Huang's tomb? Isn't it the same as saying nothing

Taoist Qingfeng could naturally think of the truth that I knew. His face turned pale and he said in a cold voice: "You don't want to exchange your life for such a secret?" At this time, Taoist Qingfeng's face showed a hint of murderous intent. Indeed, I felt like I was being fooled.

"Of course not. I have something that holds clues to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum."

Taoist Qingfeng said anxiously, "Give it to me quickly."

The corpse demon laughed at this time and said, "Why should I give it to you? I just told you how to contact it. Now I have the method, you can figure it out yourself."

When Taoist Qingfeng heard this, he glared at the corpse demon and said coldly, "If you don't give it to me, I will kill you today even if I am struck by lightning. Don't think I am joking."

In fact, no one should think that he was joking. Even I felt a chill when I heard his words. I believe that if the corpse demon said no at this time, he would definitely take action.

"Hmph, I'll give it to you." The corpse demon said with an unhappy look on his face. Then he opened his mouth, which was as big as a bowl, and spit out a small square box from his body.

Taoist Qingfeng stepped forward, picked it up and opened it. I was also curious, so I ran over to take a look. It turned out to be a small stone. Under the illumination of the Moon Pass, it was actually transparent, just like crystal.

"How can I believe that the story of your Yin-Yang Record is related to this stone and the secret of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum?" Taoist Qingfeng continued to ask.

"I swear to heaven that if what I said to Taoist Qingfeng above is false, may I be struck by lightning and never be reincarnated." The corpse demon was very straightforward and swore an oath directly, saying, "Is this what you believe?"

"Yes." Taoist Qingfeng looked at Little Stone thoughtfully and said, "Go away. Don't let me see you in the future. And don't do evil now. The society is different now."

The corpse demon did not reply, but turned and walked towards the Red Gate Inn and said, "If the eldest and second brothers were here today, you would all be dead. But never mind, we'll meet again sometime in the future, and I'll tell them what you said. I don't like killing people, otherwise your friend would have died long ago." After saying that, he walked into the Red Gate Inn. As soon as the corpse demon entered, the Red Gate Inn instantly disappeared from our sight.
