Chapter 167 The Lingering Poison of the Ordinary Tiger
Having been swept away, Chen Chunan had been running wild in this dream space amidst a myriad of distracting thoughts, and his heart had finally calmed down completely.
Even if suddenly swept away, it remains steadfast.
The moment he was struck by the light, Chen Chunan's mind was completely emptied, and he felt a great peace and freedom within.
The Mind Monkey sensed that the true self had emptied its mind and murmured, "Unstable will is a clouded mind; a clouded mind is a broken will. Becoming an immortal is not the goal; enlightenment is."
Chen Chunan was led all the way to Huangfeng Cave by the tiger demon.
The yellow wind monster, formed from the unpredictable soil, did not find anything amiss when it saw the various demons that had suddenly gathered.
Instead, he burst into laughter, because he knew that he was no longer alone, thanks to that person's presence.
A little later, the tiger demon arrived with Chen Chunan.
It transformed into a tiger-headed, human-bodied man, carrying a tiger-skin bag, and walked towards the Yellow Wind Monster.
Seeing that he was covered in blood, Huang Feng frowned, then looked at the bag with curiosity.
"What is this?"
The tiger demon laughed heartily: "This is a seeker of the Dao! Devour him, and we will both attain great freedom!"
"A seeker of the Way?"
Curious, Huang Feng opened the tiger-skin bag, and was immediately shocked when he saw the person inside.
Isn't this the very reason why I was reborn in human form?
Why was he captured by this tiger?
The Yellow Wind Monster's eyes gleamed with golden light as it examined the tiger closely, only to discover that it was actually a manifestation of murderous intent.
No wonder he was capable of skinning himself to wrap other people.
Chen Chunan was released from the bag, and suddenly light appeared before his eyes.
The strong smell of blood had also subsided.
He immediately opened his eyes.
Before him stood a rat and a tiger, while countless strange and grotesque demons drooled over him.
Chen Chunan's eyes narrowed, and he instinctively summoned the Yin-Yang Twin Swords to slay demons and monsters.
But as soon as he had this thought, the Yin-Yang Twin Swords did not react at all, and only then did he remember that he had lost all his magical power.
This discovery immediately pulled Chen Chunan out of his complacent state of peace and ease.
Fine beads of sweat quietly appeared on his forehead, then slowly gathered into small beads, and then flowed down his cheeks.
The tiger demon reached out and lifted Chen Chunan up, holding him up in front of the yellow wind monster, saying, "This person has delicate skin and tender flesh. I think we should just steam him and eat him; the flesh will be even more tender."
A dragon-headed demon beside him shook his head and said, "Brother Tiger doesn't know how to eat people. Human flesh can be steamed, but steaming the heart and liver would be a waste. In my opinion, tie him to a pillar, give him a bowl of cold wine to drink, and when he starts shivering, tear open his clothes, pour ice water on him, and then gouge out his heart and liver. At that moment, the heart and liver will be at their most tender and crisp. That's how you know how to eat!"
"Very well, let's do as Brother Long says and create this cultivator!"
"Boss Long is truly a gourmand; just talking about him makes my mouth water!"
"After hearing about breast augmentation, I realized that I've been taking advantage of so many people all these years. Wait, did I actually eat people?"
"..."
The scene was chaotic for a moment, but everyone wanted to eat Chen Chunan.
Chen Chunan was extremely anxious, regretting that he had lost all his magical power and was now like a tiger fallen into the plains, bullied by dogs!
The more anxious he became, the more confused he became, and the lesser demons shouted even louder.
But being anxious was useless. Chen Chunan calmed his mind and silently recited the Heart Sutra in order to calm himself down before making any decisions.
Although the demons were all somewhat impatient, the Yellow Wind Monster frowned.
When he manifested, another person also manifested, and that person was his natural nemesis.
If he knew that he had uncovered the root of the problem, he would not let it go.
After a moment's thought, Huang Fengguai quickly stopped the tiger demon from eating him: "This person must not be eaten!"
The tiger demon was puzzled: "Why can't I eat it?"
Huang Feng said strangely, "You don't know this. This person is the origin of our incarnations, but we are not the only ones who incarnated. There is another powerful person whose methods are quite effective against us. Back then, the Lord of this world attacked him first, which is why I was able to escape."
Only then did the group of lesser demons who had broken free realize that Yellow Wind Monster wasn't the only one who had emerged first.
"What?"
"Then we'd better get out of the way! Otherwise, we're doomed."
"In my opinion, this person is neither here nor there. It's not worth risking his life just to eat a bite of meat."
Opinions were divided, with each side holding its own view.
Only the tiger demon was the most ferocious. It opened and closed its four fanged jaws a few times and said, "What are you afraid of? We outnumber them and have the upper hand. Why don't we just go and attack them and wipe out those birds!"
Huang Feng frowned deeply. He had already told that person to restrain himself, yet this tiger demon was still so arrogant.
Born from the sins of killing, it really has no brains!
After a moment's thought, he said, "In my opinion, we should tie this Taoist priest up first. If no one comes after three to five days, it means that the news hasn't leaked out. Then we can eat him. After tying him up for three to five days, he should be cleansed by now."
After saying that, Huang Feng waved his hand, and Chen Chunan was involuntarily moved to a pillar in the backyard of the cave and tied up tightly.
At this moment, the restless mind, which was still in harmony with Bodhisattva Lingji, was troubled.
This difficulty arises from the harmony of mind and nature, a firm commitment to the Way, the natural absorption of intention, and the natural manifestation of truth.
But it seems he has never truly resonated with that true nature. When he completed the elixir, he repaid true feelings, but his half of it is not true feelings.
Now that the true feelings have been repaid, he cannot be Wukong and overcome this tribulation with Wuneng.
No wonder he was in sync with the Bodhisattva Lingji and could not escape.
"You'll have to get through this on your own, old Sun. Here, take this stick back! Lest you really get eaten!"
As Xin Yuan spoke, he summoned the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel), which transformed into a streak of black light and flew towards Chen Chunan.
the other side
Chen Chunan, who was tied to a wooden stake, was urgently reciting the Heart Sutra.
Mindfulness leads to: "With no hindrance in the mind, there is no fear. Free from distorted views and dreams, one attains ultimate Nirvana..."
Suddenly, a taste of gold in the water entered his body, and Chen Chunan felt instantly at ease.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) that had returned.
I finally felt completely relieved.
That feeling of being at someone's mercy gradually faded away.
When the mind is free from attachments, there is no fear.
Chen Chunan now felt confident and therefore unafraid.
The golden cudgel, in accordance with Chen Chunan's wishes, transformed into a small knife and cut the ropes completely.
Then, he looked at the cave dwelling where demons gathered with a murderous expression.
Since he came to this world, apart from the water demons of Jiangzhou, he had never seen so many demons gathered together.
"Man-eating demons? They want to eat my heart and liver? May they all become my merits!"
Chen Chunan sneered, picked up his Ruyi Jingu Bang, and strode into the cave along the way he had come.
With each step Chen Chunan took, the murderous aura emanating from him intensified.
The Monkey King, who had just changed his golden cudgel, was dumbfounded upon seeing this.
"Fine, fine! You always think I only care about myself and not others, and that I'm reckless when things happen. Isn't the root of the problem with you? You haven't even figured anything out yet, and you've already decided to kill. No wonder you were able to give birth to such a powerful tiger demon."
