Su Yun and Yingying walked into the Black Iron City and looked around. They saw pavilions and terraces built with skulls everywhere in the city. It was very eerie. There were also banners made of some unknown skin, hanging on both sides of the road.
Su Yun stepped forward and pulled it. The banner was very tough, like a spiritual weapon. Suddenly, a face in the banner pounced onto the surface of the banner, but it was like being stuck on a mirror. The face was distorted by the pressure and made a shrill cry.
The sound was like the scream of a duck being grabbed by the neck and lifted up.
Su Yun and Yingying were startled and quickly took a step back. At that moment, they saw faces appearing on the large banners on both sides of the street, distorted, hideous, and roaring.
"This is using the spirit master's skin and soul to refine treasures!" Yingying exclaimed.
Su Yun's heart moved slightly. This method of refining treasures was indeed a method of magic. There were relatively few spiritual masters in Yuan Shuo who practiced magic, but there were still some.
Magical spiritualists often lack sufficient qualifications, so they use the skills of others to supplement themselves.
It is said that the skills and supernatural powers practiced by this type of spiritualists were left behind by demons.
The magical artifacts in this Black Iron City include not only these white banners, but also huge leather drums, thangkas, carpets, incense burners, tripods, and even the stone steps, all of which are paved and refined with human skin or skulls!
These spiritual weapons often contain the spirits of spiritualists, struggling and roaring inside the spiritual weapons.
Even these spiritual weapons were still moving, such as a large golden cauldron. Each of its four legs was a human skull inlaid with gold foil, which was shining brightly. Below it were leg bones and foot bones, also inlaid with gold.
At this moment, the cauldron was stepping on the ground covered with skeletons. As it walked, the four heads made sad expressions and screamed.
The tripod is covered with demon patterns, which are ferocious and terrifying. It seems that the demon patterns can hear the screams of spirits and enjoy them very much.
"Yingying, how many human demons have appeared in Yuanshuo's history?" Su Yun asked as he looked at the horrifying scene in the black iron.
His face was solemn. It could be seen that the spirits of the spiritual masters in these spiritual weapons were extremely powerful. The people who refined these spiritual banners must also be extremely powerful, with unfathomable cultivation strength!
"There have only been two recorded cases of human-demon rebellions. The first was more than three thousand years ago, when human-demons came out of Tianshiyuan and wreaked havoc everywhere."
Yingying knew the history of Yuanshuo very well, and said, "At that time, it was the time when Confucius lived, and many stars gathered. Not only was there the great sage Confucius who founded Confucianism, but there were also saints who founded Taoism and Buddhism. Basically, all kinds of later famous schools of thought appeared. They joined forces to drive out the human demon and drove it back to Tianshiyuan, thus leaving behind the legend of the human demon."
The little book monster took out a book from somewhere and opened it. Three old men appeared in the book, all of them were about a foot tall. One was the Master with a strange skeleton and a majestic appearance, one was the Laojun with even more strange skeleton and an even more majestic appearance, and the other was the Sakyamuni with a head full of fleshy buns that looked like it was covered with flesh lumps.
These three old men led a large group of people, all of whom were about a foot long, and fought a battle with a three-headed, six-armed human-demon. They flipped through mountains of paper and seas of paintings and came to the North Sea.
The three paper old men raised their palms, their palms glowing, and the human demon raised his hands in fear, his body tilted, as if he was about to fall down due to their strength.
Finally, a big seal was stamped on the demon’s body with the word “Seal” written on it.
"The Master, the first generation of Saint Buddha Shakyamuni, the first generation of Taoist Saint Laojun, led the most powerful people of the time and joined forces to enter Tianshiyuan and suppress the human demons in the North Sea. This is the first human demon rebellion with a clear record. As for the even worse human demon embers, since they were not in Yuanshuo, Yuanshuo has no records of this."
Yingying closed the book, not knowing where she had put it, and said, "The rumors of human-demons afterwards were also very serious, but it was later discovered that they were often only half-demons."
Half-demons are spirits that attach themselves to spirits after their death, such as the ancestors of the Li family who died on the battlefield. Such spirits often have great grievances or great obsessions, but they are not strong enough to become human demons, so they can only become half-demons.
If one wants to become a human-demon, his obsession will reach an unimaginable level!
Therefore, the number of human demons is very small, and Su Yun only knows three of them. The ones he knows best are Wutong and Yujin, and these two human demons are very persistent!
Even though he is as evil as Ash, he still has admirable and sympathetic qualities.
Yingying said: "The real second human-demon rebellion was the one 150 years ago. But Wutong failed to cause any trouble and was killed by Han Jun and Qin Wuling."
Su Yun stopped and looked up at a white bone pagoda. He said, "Since the real human-demon chaos originated from Tianshiyuan, then the human-demon from three thousand years ago is the one guarding this Black Iron City?"
Yingying pondered, "Master Dongling was also a figure of that era, and must have participated in the battle between humans and demons. He guarded Tianshiyuan, probably to suppress this human demon. Unfortunately, Master Dongling became a god and left."
Su Yun was also a little regretful. The owner of Dongling left from the Tianmen Ghost Market and planned to move along the Ghost Market and search for the fairyland from another road.
"Yingying, what we suppressed together with Master Dongling last time was the spirit of a human demon, right?" Su Yun suddenly asked.
Yingying nodded: "We followed Lingxi in our spiritual state and broke into the spirit world of the human-demon. We found that the seal of the human-demon was loosened by Lingxi, so we fled on Lingxi."
That happened at night. The demon's spirit chased them, passing through one spiritual world after another, assimilating one powerful demon spirit after another, even ghosts and gods were assimilated by him.
Later, the ghosts and gods in Tianshiyuan were alarmed. Under the leadership of the Lord of Dongling and Lingxi, they counterattacked and suppressed and sealed the human demon spirit again.
"At that time, I thought the demon was suppressed on an island."
Su Yun looked up at the talisman on the pagoda and said, "Now it seems that it is not an island, but this Black Iron City! Yingying, the human demons suppressed by the three great saints, Master, Laojun and Sakyamuni, are in this city!"
The talisman was sparkling, and the Sanskrit on the talisman was still shining even after three thousand years. It was the talisman left by the great saint Sakyamuni who founded Buddhism!
Su Yun walked forward and saw the edict left by Laojun, the great sage who founded Taoism, in a hall of white bones!
The imperial edict exuded an inexplicable Taoist aura, suppressing this temple of bones!
Su Yun kicked away the various spiritual weapons made of bones and human skin that were blocking his way. Those spiritual weapons swayed, wandered around, and screamed.
These are just spiritual tools, not spiritual weapons. The power of spiritual weapons is even stronger, so the saints of the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism came here and used their own methods to suppress the evil spiritual weapons here, so as to prevent the human demons from controlling the spiritual weapons to break their seals!
Su Yun and Yingying went deeper into the Black Iron City and saw more spiritual soldiers, all of whom were suppressed by the Three Saints!
Ahead, the evil is getting stronger and stronger.
Su Yun's heart sank. The Three Saints must have chased the demon all the way to here, and because they couldn't kill him, they suppressed him. This kind of suppression can be divided into physical suppression and spiritual suppression.
The demon's physical body was suppressed in the Black Iron City, and his soul was suppressed in the spiritual world.
"The seal in the spirit world loosened because Lingxi went to sleep in the spirit world of the human demons, causing a big mess. This time the two caves merged, the human demons in this Black Iron City might get a chance. Because the God Emperor Yu Daoyuan and Luo Wanyi came here before me..."
Su Yun rushed forward quickly. The demonic energy in front of him was getting heavier and heavier, and the demonic nature was getting stronger and stronger!
This evil nature even began to create various demons in Su Yun's heart, but he practiced the tradition passed down from generation to generation of saints in Huoyun Cave Heaven, so the demons in his heart were born and died at will and could not affect him at all!
“The spiritualists in the Western Land have very poor Taoism hearts. Even the Divine Emperor Yu Daoyuan would be seduced by the Argali Girl and fall into the devil’s way. He will definitely be taken advantage of by the human demon!
"Luo Wanyi has a great desire for power and wants to hold all power in her hands. However, she lacks a strong person to back her up, so she is easily tempted and immediately becomes a good match with the human-demon!
"And they got here before me!"
Su Yun felt vaguely uneasy. Whether it was the Divine Emperor Yu Daoyuan or Luo Wanyi, they might be caught in the trap and become weapons used by the Black Iron City demons to break the seals of the Three Saints, Confucius, Laojun and Sakyamuni!
Su Yun hurried forward, and when he arrived at the center of the city, he suddenly felt that the extremely strong demonic energy and devilish nature had suddenly faded!
Yingying also noticed it, but she didn't know why this change happened.
At this time, Su Yun saw thick chains passing through the hall in the center of Black Iron City. The chains were tied to the stone tablets around the hall and were shaking slightly.
The main hall is bright from front to back, and there is a Bodhi tree planted in the hall, with Bodhi beads hanging on it, and Buddha's light lingering around the tree.
Above the hall, a scroll of poetry was floating, emitting brilliant light and the sound of a man reciting aloud could be heard.
There was another auspicious cloud floating above the main hall, and in the auspicious cloud was a palace with three doors. There was a deity sitting in each door. They were none other than the Three Corpse Gods that were beheaded by the Taoist sect!
The first saints of the three major schools of thought, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, each left their treasures here. Not only did they suppress the human demons, but they even suppressed the evil spirit and evil nature of the human demons.
Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief. After coming here, the Divine Emperor Yu Daoyuan, Luo Wanyi and others would not be controlled by the evil nature of the human demon and do things that would anger God and man.
"The three great saints of Xianxue are the three great saints of the same era. Their cultivation of Taoism is truly extraordinary."
Su Yun led Yingying through the hall and saw a handsome young man wearing chains, reading in the hall. When he saw them passing by, the young man smiled kindly and said, "Hello again, my dear Su, right? I see that you are very proud of yourself. You must be able to realize your ambitions. And Yingying is getting prettier too."
Su Yun said, "Brother Dao, why are you so arrogant at first and respectful later?"
The young man smiled and said, "You are chained and suppressed by the three great holy spirit soldiers, yet you are arrogant at first and respectful later. By the way, Su Xiaoyou, a disabled man who called himself Yu Daoyuan came here not long ago. He was very bad and wanted to subdue me. I disagreed, so he used the method of Yan Sheng to suppress me, making me breathless. He used a stone to press on the shadow of this hall. If you can help me move it, I will be very grateful!"
"Okay!" Su Yun agreed without hesitation and walked out from the back of the hall.
The young man waited with hope on his face. After a long time, his face darkened: "Damn it, you even lied to me, are you still human?"
