Chapter 29: Ten Thousand Soul Banner
Journey to the West: Starting by Joining the Chat Group, Main Text Volume, Chapter 29: Ten Thousand Soul Banner, Demon Monk's Cave Abode.
Yang Chan and Xuanzang walked side by side; the tunnel inside the cave was very narrow and the space was not large, so the two were very close.
For a thousand years, this was the first time for Yang Chan to be so close to a strange man, even though the other party was a monk.
But Xuanzang gave Yang Chan a very strange feeling, coupled with the previous misunderstanding.
She always felt that Xuanzang was a fake monk; logically speaking, he was clearly a handsome young gentleman.
Yang Chan shook her head, hurriedly suppressing this absurd thought.
"Yang Chan, oh Yang Chan, what are you letting your imagination run wild about?" Yang Chan thought to herself, a blush drifting across her cheeks.
As an Immortal in the heavens, and with the Heavenly Court's Heavenly Law being strict.
Therefore, Immortals are forbidden from stirring up mortal desires; if they do, generally speaking, the outcome is very miserable.
Yang Chan's mother, Princess Yaoji, was a living example.
But even so, even knowing the price of stirring up mortal desires is great, throughout history, there have still been many female Immortals who threw themselves into the fire like moths.
The future Yang Chan was no exception!
Now, lonely for a thousand years and having never experienced the love between a man and a woman, Yang Chan had long grown tired of the life of an Immortal.
That was why she had produced strange emotions while walking in the cave just now.
However, Yang Chan could still restrain herself; she knew what could be done and what could not.
Furthermore, although Xuanzang was handsome and dashing, she could not just go after a monk.
And there was one most important point: if her second brother Yang Jian knew about this, he would probably insist on hacking Xuanzang to death with a blade.
"Hoo!"
Yang Chan took a deep breath, calming her state of mind.
Xuanzang was close by, and even the natural fragrance on Yang Chan's body was clearly audible.
It was a very fresh fragrance, a bit like peach blossoms, but not entirely; it was pure and refined, with a hint of heart-stirring intent.
"Yang Chan, are you not feeling well? Why is your breathing so erratic?" Xuanzang asked.
"I... I am fine." Yang Chan hurriedly explained.
How could Xuanzang not know that Yang Chan was lying, so he comforted her: "I understand, I understand, those who know, know."
"? Know what? Holy Monk?" Yang Chan could not help but ask.
"Ahem, women, every month there are those few days when relatives visit, and the body is uncomfortable. Although you are an Immortal, you still cannot violate this natural law set by Heaven. Remember to drink more hot water!" Xuanzang said.
"..." Yang Chan, what the hell is with the "drink more hot water."
It seems the two of them are not on the same channel?
However, there was one thing Xuanzang was not wrong about, which was that even Immortals cannot escape this cycle of Heavenly Dao; the monthly visit from relatives is too punctual.
Especially for Immortals, living forever and maintaining eternal youth also means that these relatives have been greeting them for a thousand years.
Although Xuanzang misunderstood, Yang Chan would not explain; she could not tell Xuanzang that she had just had a moment of mortal longing, could she?
At the same time, the Chat Group's live broadcast was also proceeding in real-time, and the group members were chatting heatedly.
Xuanzang and Yang Chan finally arrived at the deepest part of the demon's cave!
On the ground, four small flags were inserted in the southeast, northwest, and west, connecting into an array.
In the middle of the array, dozens of ordinary commoners were bound, each one looking withered and exhausted of essence and energy.
And above their heads, a small triangular banner engraved with a skull was floating.
Beside the small triangular banner sat a demon monk in red, suspended in the air, his whole body emitting scarlet Demonic Qi.
"Abominable, this demon monk is actually refining a Ten Thousand Soul Banner." Yang Chan's face revealed coldness.
"Ten Thousand Soul Banner!" Xuanzang's expression was strange; this thing was not a good item.
Yang Chan thought Xuanzang did not understand, so she explained:
"The Ten Thousand Soul Banner is an evil magical treasure; as the name suggests, it needs souls to be refined, and the souls of the Human Race are the best, because the seven emotions and six desires of humans are the best nourishment for refining the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
Once taken into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, one will never be reincarnated and will be driven by others.
The Ten Thousand Soul Banner causes great damage to the Primordial Spirit, so many demonic cultivators will refine similar magical treasures."
The Ten Thousand Soul Banner is not a difficult magical treasure to refine; as long as a cultivator has a little bit of knowledge, they know the general refining method.
It is just because this act is too harmful to the harmony of Heaven and is very likely to create a massive killing karma for oneself, which is not conducive to future cultivation and ascension.
But for some cultivators who are eager for quick success, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner is the best choice.
"Understood." Xuanzang nodded.
Chat Group.
Demon Queen: "Damn, Ten Thousand Soul Banner, this thing is too evil!"
First Strange Woman of the Yin-Yang School: "Terrifying?"
Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "Utterly devoid of conscience!"
Little Fairy of Peach Blossom Island: "Terrifying, how can there be such an evil thing? Holy Monk Xuanzang, you must kill this demon."
Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Hehehe, for the world of Immortal Cultivation, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner is just a drop in the bucket. Some insane demons directly Blood Sacrifice an entire kingdom, or even a star."
Yunlan Sect Master: "Indeed, didn't Hun Tiandi of the Soul Clan Blood Sacrifice a million people of his own clan?"
Playboy: "Oh, Jesus! Is Blood Sacrifice so competitive now?"
Demon King Who Never Suffers a Loss: "What is this? If I am unhappy, I can restart everything with one click at any time."
Diviner: "Stop bragging, I don't know who was kicked and exploded by someone's six legs!"
Demon Queen: "Group Owner, what do you mean by that? Is it the dark history of the old pervert Demon King?"
Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "Eating melons!"
Demon King Who Never Suffers a Loss: "Slander! Rumors! What does Chonghuang suffering a loss have to do with me, Demon Sealer!"
Diviner: "Heh!"
On Xuanzang's side, after finding the culprit, they prepared to exterminate the demon.
And the red-robed demon monk also discovered the arrival of Yang Chan and Xuanzang!
"I didn't expect that someone would actually be able to find this place."
The red-robed demon monk laughed sinisterly; he had clearly set up a concealment array.
In truth, he did not know that such a crude array was not worth mentioning in the face of the Lotus Lantern's Absorption.
"Demon monk, as a cultivator, you do not walk the righteous path and instead harm innocent commoners; today I shall act on behalf of Heaven," Yang Chan rebuked angrily.
The red-robed demon monk did not care, standing in mid-air with his hands behind his back, putting on the air of an expert:
"Seeing that you are also cultivators, today this poor monk's Ten Thousand Soul Banner will have two more souls."
"Arrogant!"
Yang Chan directly erupted with the aura of an Immortal, causing the entire cave dwelling to shake, with immortal light shining in all directions.
Even the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, which had been continuously releasing red light, extinguished at the first moment, not daring to expose its aura.
"F*ck, an Immortal!"
The red-robed demon monk was dumbfounded, his face turning pale; Yang Chan's Immortal-level pressure caused him to fall directly from the air.
"How could there be an Immortal?"
How could the red-robed demon monk understand? Were Immortals not high and lofty, residing in the Nine Heavens? Was it appropriate for one to actually descend to the mortal world to deal with him?
After the Investiture of the Gods, orthodox Immortals basically would not appear in the Human Realm.
Yet Yang Chan was a special exception; she was not only an orthodox Immortal, but her strength was also much greater than that of an average Immortal, and she had the Lotus Lantern to boot.
"Immortal, spare my life! This lowly one knows his mistake; this lowly one is willing to lay down the butcher's knife and turn back to the shore," the red-robed demon monk pleaded.
Seeing the demon monk speak such shameless words, Xuanzang could not help but say: "Still talking about laying down the butcher's knife; in the next second, are you going to become a Buddha on the spot?"
This demon monk's cultivation was only at the late stage of Refining Spirit to Return to Void, which could be considered a minor expert in the Human Realm.
But in front of Yang Chan and him, it was not worth mentioning; they could kill him with a flip of their hands.
The red-robed demon monk looked at Xuanzang, seeing that he and himself were both monastics, and said:
"Amituofo, this little monk only walked the wrong path due to a moment of impulse; I ask that you two experts give me a chance."
"The Buddha says, saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda!"
"..." Yang Chan, Xuanzang.
