"Don't let it eat it! Don't let it eat it!"

Aji wept bitterly, repeating the same sentence over and over again.

"Don't let anyone eat whom up!!"

Zhou Yang also felt a sense of unease and immediately asked Aji a question.

However, at this moment, there seemed to be an invisible barrier between him and Aji.

This barrier prevented him from hearing only Aji's wailing and the slow chanting of mantras. The thoughts he wanted to convey to Aji were blocked by this barrier.

The song, which seemed to resonate within Zhou Yang's soul, gradually faded as the chanting of mantras continued to echo.

Zhou Yang immediately sat on the edge of the sky burial platform and opened the "Knife Credit Ledger".

On the first page of the book, in the section on his personal abilities.

The newly appeared line of text is now fading rapidly:

"The Dalu Origin Emanation Right Consciousness (Sangsang)." This line of writing gradually faded, occasionally breaking into several ink blots, only to coalesce into new characters:

"The Lion-Faced Dakini Secret Form"

Two different handwriting styles appear alternately in the same position in Zhou Yang's ability column.

Zhou Yang suddenly understood:

"We must not allow the Lion-Faced Dakini to devour Sangsang's incarnation, Zhengshi!"

The gradually fading singing voice that lingered in his heart came from Sangsang.

The unfamiliar voice constantly chanting mantras was the "third person" within Zhou Yang's body, a third person who never manifested, almost leading Zhou Yang to believe it didn't exist at all.

Luodu!

Aji acquired knowledge of various mantras and offerings from the "Luodu Terma Mind Consciousness"!

The reason why Aji has become so confused is entirely due to the "Luodu Terma Mind Consciousness"!

This "Dalu Origin Emanation Right Consciousness" made Luodu, who had been "remaining silent," finally succumb to temptation and want to recite the secret incantation to devour her!

Perhaps the various voices he heard were not entirely credible. But the changes in the "Knife Credit Ledger" were real and could not be hidden from Zhou Yang's eyes!

Zhou Yang made a decision immediately.

He dug out a clump of mud by sticking his hands into the soil.

His brow rippled with Mindfulness, and the Ghost Mouth all over his body opened, the ripples of the Fat Mirror Lamp transforming him into a human-shaped mirror!

The light from the mirror was reflected entirely onto the clump of soil in Zhou Yang's hand!

Sangsang!

"If you wish to preserve your original nature and avoid being corrupted, then temporarily reside within this clay figure!"

Zhou Yang's mind was shaken, and relying on the faint connection between himself and Sangsang, he sent her a warning.

The song that had lingered in Zhou Yang's heart but had become blurred became clear again at Zhou Yang command.

The song rang in Zhou Yang's ears.

Then the sound resounded outside Zhou Yang:

"Whoosh, dot, dole soha..." A graceful figure emerged from the dazzling white light emanating from Zhou Yang's body, instantly merging with the clump of earth in his palm.

During this time, Zhou Yang's fingers flew, shaping the lump of clay into a clay figure.

Then, Zhou Yang's hands suddenly detached from the clay figure!

Luodu use Aji's Karmic Retribution Body as a bridge to influence Sangsang, who was connected to Zhou Yang's soul. Therefore, Zhou Yang had no choice but to actively break off his connection with Sangsang!

His partial Fat Mirror Lamp remained on the clay figure, covering Sangsang within.

The radiant light emanating from his own body vanished in an instant!

Therefore, Luodu can no longer use Aji as a bridge to reach out to Sangsang!

"Ah Ga, Sama, Ranza, Xiadaran, Samaran, Ya Pei!"

"Ah Ga, Sama, Ranza, Xiadaran, Samaran, Ya Pei!"

Luodu's deep voice continued to chant the secret mantras at a measured pace.

Its chanting grew ever deeper, yet the echo it produced became ever more magnificent! So majestic and profound!

Fierce and ferocious!

"Kazhuomasengodongbajinqiejiriadibetudangnu..." Luodu chanted the secret mantra more and more intensely, like waves rising and falling, and this secret mantra flowed through Zhou Yang's mind again and again.

At this moment, without Aji's translation, Zhou Yang understood the meaning of the mantra:

"Great Lion-Faced Dakini, by the power of reciting your mantra, may all enemies and harmers, all those who create obstacles and resentment, and all misfortune be stopped for us practitioners, gurus, and relatives!"

May all misfortune be averted!

"Obstacles, enemies, curses, etc.";

"Destroy their body as dust;"

"To completely obliterate their consciousness;"

"The Lion-Faced Dakini with extreme ferocity and rage."

"By the power of your mantra recitation;"

"Pacify all enemies who threaten us!" As he chanted the secret mantra, a sharp pain suddenly shot through Zhou Yang's head!

It was as if someone had used a chisel to forcefully drive a hole into the top of his skull!

A thick, foul-smelling Ghost Rhyme, like blood, flowed from the top of his skull, swaying in mid-air as an arm burning with blood and fire!

The arm wasn't targeting Zhou Yang; instead, it grabbed at the clay figure not far away!

The light from the Fat Mirror Lamp on the clay figure embodying "Sangsang" continued to dim due to the lack of Zhou Yang's support. At this moment, the arm covered in blood and flames flew over, and before it even got close, it caused the white light on Sangsang clay figure to crack like a mirror!

At the same time, the excruciating pain originating from the top of his head could not be concealed in the slightest by Zhou Yang's current Mindfulness!

The excruciating pain was like a nail, striking him so hard it seemed to pin his very soul to the spot, rendering him immobile!

He sensed the raging Ghost Rhyme above his head, and only one thought remained in his mind:

"Ghost!"

"A ghost far more ferocious and terrifying than any ghost seen in Guan Village!"

"Even with my Fat Mirror Lamp and ripples, I cannot ward off the slightest ghost!"

Zhou Yang watched helplessly as the bloodied arm gripped the clay figure of Sangsang, and once again tasted the bitterness of despair! Without cultivating Upright Heart, before the demons, everything is nothing but a clay chicken and a tile dog!

Under the overwhelming tide of despair, Zhou Yang's character and will, like a stubborn rock, were refined and made more mellow, and he even began to shine brightly in the dark tide!

"Buzz!"

Pierced by excruciating pain, Zhou Yang had only one thought left to think about.

He banished all the despair that had overwhelmed him from this thought, and focused on doing only one thing— the Ghost Ruler grew from his abdomen, its bronze arm grabbing the wrist of the dripping arm, preventing it from taking Sangsang the Mud Man away!

"Ding ding ding ding!"

The moment the Ghost Ruler gripped the bleeding arm, fine cracks suddenly appeared on the bronze-colored arm!

The sound, like the clashing and cracking of bronze, kept emanating from the Ghost Ruler!

Zhou Yang's Ghost Ruler, which had been inscribed with several Mantra Point, was no match for the blood-dripping arm formed from Ghost Rhyme!

His face turned deathly pale!

"Aji! Aji!"

"I'll help you!" Jiekan's shout suddenly rang out behind Zhou Yang.

Upon hearing his voice, Zhou Yang's heart skipped a beat—the hand that was growing out from above his head was entirely formed of Ghost Rhyme, and ordinary people could not touch it at all; touching it would endanger their lives!

Ghosts and Tsen Demon are fundamentally different!

The name "Tsen Demon" sounds sinister and terrifying, but that is not the case.

The most terrifying thing can only be a ghost!

Jiekan n't help Zhou Yang in the slightest!

Instead, it will cost him his life!

"Don't come any closer!"

Zhou Yang roared sharply, stopping Jiekan from getting closer.

But it was too late—he had barely finished speaking when he heard a loud "bang" above his head!

Jiekan took a leg bone and struck Zhou Yang on the top of the head with it!

Another wave of pain suddenly surged from the top of Zhou Yang's head. But the instant this physical pain appeared, the excruciating pain that seemed to pierce Zhou Yang's soul subsided—a woman's shrill scream rang out from the bleeding arm that was clutching the clay figurine of Sangsang!

The howling was mixed with the sounds of a lion's roar and a dog's bark!

The blood-dripping, Ghost Rhyme arm suddenly opened its hand, which was covered with sharp, black nails.

The clay figure of Sangsang in the palm of my hand quickly fell into the soil!

"Quack..."

A Dakini, who had been standing on Shitou not far away, observing the situation, suddenly flew over, grabbed the mud figure on the ground, and soared into the distant sky!

"Don't be afraid, Zhou Yang."

"Let me help you, Zhou Yang."

Little Zhuoma's voice lingered in Zhou Yang's heart, while her figure gradually faded into a black dot in the sky.

"Call!"

Jiekan raised the badly weathered leg bone in his hand and swung it down again at the bloody arm that was turning around— Zhou Yang suddenly turned his head and saw that the leg bone in Jiekan's hand was wrapped with all kinds of prayer beads, nine-square plaques, and meteorite iron.

All the magical artifacts were melted by the Ghost Rhyme emanating from the blood-stained arm the moment they struck Zhou Yang's head! They turned into molten copper and solidified on his leg bones.

The top of the leg bone was completely charred!

This leg bone may have been picked up by Jiekan casually, but the various magical artifacts wrapped around it must have come from Zeweng and Zhima!

It worked temporarily, but now all the magical artifacts have collapsed and can no longer serve as true protective treasures!

"Take him away quickly!"

"Take Jiekan away, leave this dream behind!"

He's going to be killed!

"Zeweng, Zhima!"

Zhou Yang roared fiercely, and the already cracked Ghost Ruler grew out from behind his neck again, its cracked palm suddenly slapping down on Zhou Yang's head!

He had already realized that the center of the skull was not only where the blood arm originated, but also its vital point at this moment!

"Bang!"

When the Ghost Ruler struck Zhou Yang's head, Zhou Yang's head jerked violently a few times, and his vision went blank! But this attack finally had an effect!

The bloody arm that had turned back and was reaching for Jiekan twisted and trembled strangely in mid-air.

Jiekan there, holding the severed leg bone, dumbfounded.

Before he could react, a gust of wind blew by—and his figure vanished from the spot.

It's as if they never existed here!

Upon hearing Zhou Yang's words, Mr. and Mrs. Zeweng immediately escaped the dream, and then helped Jiekan escape the dream as well!

They may have tried to remove the white paper from Aji's face, attempting to help Aji escape from the dream.

Zhou Yang could feel rustling sounds and faint human voices calling from outside the dream, but he was currently entangled by the Ghost Rhyme summoned by Luodu's secret incantation, and for the time being, he was unable to break free from this dream!

"Cheji! Good day! Dobatang!"

"Nesse! Maru! Siwatang!"

Luodu's voice, which had gradually lowered, suddenly became high-pitched!

It seemed that Zhou Yang's actions had thoroughly enraged it! Or perhaps it sensed the person outside the dream calling out to Aji repeatedly, and that Aji was about to awaken from the dream!

It is about to recite the final secret incantation!

However, Zhou Yang could not understand the true meaning behind the secret incantations it was reciting at this moment.

Strands of blood began to seep from the pores of this body.

The blood trickling from his pores exuded a strong Ghost Rhyme, transforming into wisps of blood-red fire that bloomed all over Zhou Yang's body!

at the same time!

Aji's voice, which had been interrupted for a moment, rang out again.

The attainment of Upright Origin and Right Enlightenment is not found in the Esoteric Nature teachings, nor in the four tantras...

"First, I burned myself amidst the bitterness of adversity, then I resolved to cultivate myself with great determination, and through countless trials and tribulations, my resolve remained unwavering..."

"Then, one arouses the aspiration to enter into right consciousness, plants the root of Upright Origin and Right Enlightenment, and in meditation perceives the great vow..."

"The Upright Origin is like a ray of white light, the vow is like a sword that cuts through wisdom; in an instant, it arises from between the brows, and true enlightenment is born from its very root..."

Aji's words at this moment seemed to be explaining an extremely profound technique to Zhou Yang. This technique even touched the Mindfulness between his brows!

He suddenly had a gut feeling—the Dharma that Aji was reciting was closely related to cultivating Upright Heart!
