Chapter 268-273, Help Xiaobai, the Golden Silk Book
"Oh! Please, just give me some pleasure!"
In the cave where Xiaoqing and Xiaobai lived in the hollow mountain, the screams and wails of the centipede monster continued to be heard from a hole on the side of the cave wall.
Listening to the heart-wrenching wails, Xiao Qing couldn't help but look back at the cave entrance with worry, gently pulled Ouyang Feng's clothes, and whispered:
"Xiao Bai seems to be a little bit wrong..."
Ouyang Feng was standing by the pool at the bottom of the cave, gently waving the Five Poison Banner, absorbing the centipede poison in the water. The water, which had been dyed black by the poison, was becoming clear at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What's wrong?"
"Xiao Bai never used torture before..."
“It’s different today.”
Ouyang Feng said calmly:
"We need to let her vent her anger, otherwise she might become crazy."
Xiaoqing was silent.
In fact, she had long felt that her sister and Xu Xian would not have a good ending.
The last time Fahai attacked, she had a strong premonition that this might be the last time her sister and Xu Xian would meet. However, Ouyang Feng suddenly appeared and defeated Fahai, thus breaking the fate and allowing her sister and Xu Xian to meet again.
But after just one season of reunion, Xu Xian suffered another misfortune, which made Xiaoqing feel that it was destined and there was no way to escape this disaster.
Listening to the increasingly miserable wailing, Xiaoqing couldn't help but become more worried as the centipede demon begged for mercy, cursed the White Snake as a bitch, and described how delicious Xu Xian was, trying to stimulate Xiaobai to kill him. However, Xiaobai never made any sound.
She stepped forward and hugged Ouyang Feng's waist, pressing against his broad back, as if to draw warmth and strength from him, and murmured:
"Xiao Bai needs to vent, but it seems a bit too much now... I'm worried that she might go crazy."
At this time, Ouyang Feng had absorbed all the centipede poison in the pool, and the deep pool had returned to its original clear state.
He put down the Five Poison Banner, gently patted Xiaoqing's hand, and said:
"After venting for so long, it's time to end it. Let's go and see her."
The two of them walked into the cave, passed through a long and narrow corridor, and came to a dim stone chamber.
As soon as Xiaoqing entered the stone chamber and saw Xiaobai, her expression changed slightly.
Xiaobai's hair, cheeks, and clothes were all stained with blood. His cheeks were sickly pale, and his pupils were unusually bright, as if burning with some strange flame. The "flame" was so intense that it gave Xiaoqing an ominous premonition that when the flame burned out, there would be nothing left in Xiaobai's heart, only dead ashes.
"Xiaobai, that's enough!"
Seeing Xiaobai casting a spell to heal the centipede monster, which was no longer in human form, and waiting for its injuries to heal a little, it raised its sharp claws covered with blood and flesh fragments, wanting to tear off his flesh and blood strips. Xiaoqing couldn't help but shout, and rushed behind Xiaobai, hugged her waist and dragged her backwards.
Xiaobai, who had never made a sound during the previous torture of the centipede monster, finally let out a shrill whimper and struggled hard to try to get rid of Xiaoqing.
But Xiaoqing's strength had surpassed hers, so much so that even if she turned her lower body into a snake tail and revealed part of her true form, she could not break free from Xiaoqing's drag.
"Let me go! Xiaoqing, let me go!"
She whimpered and wailed, her tail swiping wildly, struggling with all her might, her eyes fixed on the centipede monster, her pupils blazing with hatred: "I will chop him into pieces and make him never be reborn!"
Xiaoqing held her waist tightly with both hands, and her legs turned into snake tails, wrapping around Xiaobai's tail, and whispered softly in her ear:
"He will never be reincarnated. Xiaobai, listen to me... your revenge is enough. Now you should kill him and leave the rest to Master Ouyang. Master Ouyang will imprison him in the Five Poison Banner and let his demon soul be imprisoned and tortured forever!"
"Master Ouyang..."
Xiaobai was slightly shocked, stopped struggling and looked at Ouyang Feng.
Ouyang Feng held the Five Poison Banner and nodded to her:
"Just take his life, and leave the rest to me."
Give it to Master Ouyang?
Xiaobai was in a trance.
She thought back to the night of freezing rain.
When she and Xiaoqing were suppressed in Fahai's demon-suppressing magic circle, defeated and seriously injured by the monster, and in the most desperate moment, he came like a god from the sky, destroyed the magic circle, defeated the monster, defeated Fahai, and rescued them.
And today, he and Xiaoqing caught up with the centipede monster and rescued her from its claws.
When Xiaoqing was trapped in the poisonous fog, she fell into the hands of the centipede monster again. It was he who suddenly appeared behind the centipede monster, snatched the Five Poison Banner in one fell swoop, suppressed the centipede monster, and handed the centipede monster to her for revenge.
If the centipede monster is handed over to this man, he should really never be reincarnated, right?
Xiaobai stared at Ouyang Feng steadily, his lips trembled slightly, the fire in his eyes gradually went out, replaced by hazy tears, and finally brewed into crystal tears like a broken bead curtain.
Seeing that she finally cried, Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief. She hugged Xiaobai, put her cheek against her bloodstained cheek, rubbed it gently twice, and said:
"Xiaobai, it's time to complete your revenge."
As he spoke, he handed a sword to Xiaobai.
Xiaobai held the sword and looked at Ouyang Feng again. Through her misty tears, she saw Ouyang Feng nod slightly and give her an affirmative look again. Xiaobai finally turned her head to look at the centipede monster, gritted her teeth, swung the sword, and cleanly cut off the centipede monster's head.
At the moment when the centipede monster's head and body were separated.
Ouyang Feng gently waved the Five Poison Banner, and a black smoke surged out and pounced on the corpse of the centipede monster.
Enshrouded in black smoke, the centipede's body shrank rapidly, its vital energy was devoured, and it turned into a dried corpse.
After that, the black smoke was pulled again, and a shadow of a Taoist priest in a black robe surrounded by black smoke was drawn out from the dried corpse of the centipede monster.
The shadow of the Taoist in black robe had a face full of fear and kept struggling, his body shape changing between human and centipede, but he could not break free from the black smoke and was finally dragged into the Five Poison Banner by the black smoke with a look of despair on his face.
Ouyang Feng deliberately slowed down the whole process so that Xiaobai could see it clearly.
When Xiaobai saw the fate of the centipede monster, a hint of satisfaction of revenge emerged in his tearful eyes. Then his body softened and he fainted in Xiaoqing's arms.
Ouyang Feng took out two elixirs and handed them to Xiaoqing. "Her injuries have not healed yet, and she was stimulated by this. I'm afraid her soul has been hurt. One of these two elixirs can heal her wounds, and the other can nourish her soul. Feed them to her, and cast a spell to let her sleep for a while longer."
"Thank you." Xiaoqing looked at Ouyang Feng gratefully, took the two pills, and wanted to feed the pills into her mouth, but she was already in a deep coma and unable to swallow, so he put the pills into his own mouth first. After they dissolved, he gently pinched Xiaobai's cheek to make her open her mouth passively. Then he lowered his head and held the pills on Xiaobai's lips, passing the dissolved pill liquid into Xiaobai's mouth.
The posture looked like a deep kiss, and the atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous. Ouyang Feng did not look at it for long. He turned and left the stone room, returned to the pond in the mountain, sat cross-legged on a large smooth stone, took out the magic bag with an ancient shape and embroidered oracle bone characters, wiped out the remaining consciousness of the centipede monster, and left his own spiritual imprint.
He probed into the bag with his mind and saw that the space was limited, only the size of a water tank, and there were not many objects inside, only a page of gold and silk, and some ginseng, polygonatum, ganoderma lucidum, broken bones, fur and other miscellaneous materials.
"Is this the so-called 'Heavenly Book'?"
Ouyang Feng took out the gold and silk. He didn't know what material it was made of. He only felt that it was warm to the touch, like jade, but also as smooth and soft as silk. It was also extremely tough and could not be damaged by swords, water or fire.
There are no words or even patterns on either side of the gold and silk.
However, when Ouyang Feng tried to slowly inject his true energy into it, the golden silk suddenly emitted a hazy golden light.
Then, in the golden light, a phantom of a flag slowly rose up. The flag was colorful, gorgeous and majestic. Although it looked similar to the Five Poison Flag, its aura was completely different.
Looking at the phantom of the flag in the golden light, Ouyang Feng's mind flashed with inspiration, and he seemed to have realized something. After a long time, a subtle look appeared in his eyes, "The way this gold and silk convey information is really amazing... and the content of the information also varies from person to person?"
When the centipede demon looked at the gold and silk, he realized the method of refining the "Five Poison Banner".
However, what Ouyang Feng realized was a magic weapon called "Ten Thousand Demons Banner". The Five Poisons Banner was just a lower-level branch of the Ten Thousand Demons Banner.
"The Five Poison Banner can also be upgraded to the Ten Thousand Demons Banner. When it is fully developed, it can gather the spirits of all the demons and set up a Ten Thousand Demons Formation... Magical weapons are good things, but they are not easy to refine."
In order to refine the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, one must kill at least ten thousand monsters and devour and refine their essence and demon souls.
And it can't be an ordinary little monster that kills a large number of people with just one touch. It has to be at least a big monster with the same level of Taoism as Xiaoqing and Xiaobai.
"It seems that only the Journey to the West world has so many monsters. But I can't go to the Journey to the West world for the time being..."
Of course Ouyang Feng has another place to go, that is the world of A Chinese Ghost Story.
That world is too dark, and the essence of heaven and earth is extremely filthy. If the worlds of Journey to the West, White Snake, and the paradise are compared to fresh and bright sunny gardens, then the world of A Chinese Ghost Story is a sewer that has never been cleaned and is filled with filth like a mountain.
Therefore, even though his strength allowed, Ouyang Feng never thought of going forward to explore.
But now, it seems that it can be put on the agenda?
After all, humanity is prosperous in the White Snake world, and there are powerful monks like Fahai, so the number of monsters is not large.
In the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, during the era of Pudu Cihang, even the civil and military officials in the court were eaten up and turned into empty shells, and the Black Mountain Old Demon was even more blatantly king of the underworld. It is no exaggeration to say that the world is turned upside down, the sun and the moon have lost their light, and there are demons and ghosts everywhere. There is no need to spend time looking for them, you can bump into demons by just walking around.
"Let's first find out the origin of the gold and silk, and then upgrade the 'Five Poison Banner'..."
Ouyang Feng immersed his mind in the Five Poison Banner and began to look through the centipede monster's memories.
The soul of the centipede demon has been imprisoned and refined by the Five Poison Banner, turning it into a confused, unconscious puppet with no intelligence or knowledge, and its memory is completely defenseless.
Soon, Ouyang Feng found the origin of the gold and silk.
More than two hundred years ago, this centipede demon was stealing treasures from an ancient tomb. Because the hole he dug was too deep, the ground of the tomb cracked and a deep pit appeared.
The centipede monster went down to explore out of curiosity and accidentally found a cave.
There was a corpse in the cave, its flesh, blood and clothes had all decayed, leaving only a rotten skeleton sitting cross-legged in the cave, with two objects in front of it, which were the magic bag and the page of gold and silk.
The centipede demon took the magic bag and the gold and silk, and then curiously touched the skeleton. As a result, just one touch turned the rotten skeleton into ashes.
The centipede demon searched the cave again but found nothing, so he left in disappointment. Then he realized the method of refining the Five Poison Banner from the gold and silk, and got some refining materials from the magic weapon bag. He then began the long process of collecting the missing materials and refining the magic weapon.
"So, there is no ancient cave at all? It's just an underground cave. Apart from the skeleton that has decayed to ashes, the magic bag and a piece of gold and silk are the only objects in it?"
Ouyang Feng sneered in his heart, "That centipede monster is really dishonest. He actually dared to lie to me! However... this gold and silk is not an ordinary thing, and the Ten Thousand Demons Banner is not an ordinary magic weapon. The water in this White Snake world seems to be a bit deep."
He had long felt that this White Snake world was very different from the White Snake world he knew.
For example, Xiaoqing and Xiaobai's daily images, their transformation into half-human, half-snake images, and Xiaoqing and Xiaobai's true appearance with a hint of dragon look were all different from what he had known before.
There is also Fahai. Although he knew there was a young and handsome Fahai, the young and handsome Fahai in this world was different from what Ouyang Feng knew, in terms of the demon-subduing formation he used, the rosary magic weapon that could transform into a monster, and the Buddhist Dharma for summoning Garuda.
"The deeper background of this White Snake world is probably very different from what I know."
Ouyang Feng pondered in his heart, but he only thought about it briefly and did not go too deep:
"I follow my own path. Now I only want to prove the great path of the golden elixir. As for other things, as long as they don't hinder my practice, what does it have to do with me?"
He stroked the gold and silk with his fingertips, thinking in his heart:
"The centipede monster first spent more than a hundred years collecting the missing materials to refine the flag, and then worked hard to collect the five poisonous spirits. As a result, after more than a hundred years, it only collected four spirits. In order to obtain the centipede poisonous spirit, it even plotted against and murdered its own kind of big monster. It can be seen that there are indeed not many big monsters in this world... After things here are done, it's time to go to the world of A Chinese Ghost Story to explore."
After thinking for a while, he took out a round bead that was completely clear yellow.
This bead is the size of a dragon eye and is crystal clear. If you look closely, you can see a yellow mist inside it. The yellow mist seems to have a spirit, gathering and dispersing. When it disperses, it is like layers of clouds, and when it gathers, it looks like a centipede with a thousand legs.
It was the "Sky Centipede Pearl" that was obtained after he first explored the world of A Chinese Ghost Story and obtained the Blood-Drinking Demon Sword.
This pearl also attracted a tiger monster who coveted it.
As a result, Ouyang Feng killed the tiger demon with the power of the Blood Drink, and then obtained the Tiger Roaring Skill and the Tiger Transformation Skill. He also indirectly realized the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist and the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound Breathing Method. It can be said that he skinned the tiger demon and made full use of it.
But the Sky Centipede Pearl has been kept until now and has never been used.
In fact, ever since he reached the exterior, he had been able to glimpse the truth about the Sky Centipede Pearl.
This Sky Centipede Pearl was the one left behind by Pudu Cihang. It is both the "centipede pearl" of the centipede demon and his "relics". It not only contains extremely powerful and pure demonic energy, but also a trace of residual soul lurking in it.
Ouyang Feng did not practice magic, and was also somewhat concerned about the centipede monster's powerful brainwashing magic, so he had always ignored the bead.
Until today, he finally found a way to use the Sky Centipede Pearl.
"The remaining soul is just right to be sent into the Five Poison Banner, and the demonic energy and true essence are just right to be absorbed by the Five Poison Banner... After swallowing this Sky Centipede Pearl, the Five Poison Banner will have a major upgrade!"
Ouyang Feng smiled slightly and waved the Five Poison Banner. Suddenly a puff of black smoke emerged from the banner and puffed onto the Sky Centipede Pearl.
