"Cough... cough cough..."

My master responded with another series of hoarse and violent coughs.

I don't know if the air circulation in this cellar is really poor. The big shopkeeper's coughing continued for a long time and became more and more intense. Seeing that the big shopkeeper couldn't take a breath, Hu Changsheng was also anxious on one side and tried several times.

He tried to lift the big shopkeeper off the ground, but he never succeeded. The dry and dry body of the big shopkeeper seemed to weigh tens of millions of kilograms, and his buttocks were rooted to the ground!

"Get out of the way!!"

My master seemed to have seen something. He gave a loud shout, brushed Hu Changsheng to one side, walked around behind the big shopkeeper in a few steps, and hit the big shopkeeper on the back with a palm, making a muffled sound of "bang".

.

The big shopkeeper's coughing stopped suddenly, and my master didn't move either. The two of them seemed to have settled down.

Lao Bai muttered, "The old man looked dry and hung up on his life. Don't let him be beaten to death with this slap!"

Actually that's not the case, my master is very measured.

This series of coughs by the big shopkeeper is very abnormal, and there is obviously something wrong with his body. The moment my master took action, I felt the gathering of spiritual energy on his palm. That palm was struck, rather than the power of the palm penetrating the body, it was

It would be better to say that my master injected a piece of his own spiritual energy into the other party's body and was helping him sort out his energy and blood.

For a moment, the big shopkeeper's body tensed up like a ghost, and a huge sob came out of his throat. His chest made a sound like a rotten bellows. His eyes were round and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't say anything.

He looked ferocious, then coughed violently, and a black substance the size of an egg suddenly spurted out from his throat, almost spraying on Lao Bai's face. Fortunately, the guy was smart and dodged it and turned his head.

As soon as he saw it, his whole face turned green, and he screamed: "Oh my god, this egg-sized mouthful of black phlegm is so beautiful, no wonder it wants to suffocate people to death!"

Before he finished speaking, he couldn't continue.

However, I saw that the egg-sized ball of black viscous liquid started to squirm after being slapped on the ground!!

My master narrowed his eyes and pulled down the top shopkeeper's shirt, revealing his skinny upper body, with large areas of pitch black burns everywhere on his skin.

"What a powerful evil!"

My attention was on the black viscous liquid on the ground, and I didn't dare to neglect it at all. I pinched it with my fingers, and a fire symbol flew out, igniting the viscous liquid with a bang, and the liquid turned into "sizzling"

"The black smoke rose up and was completely dissolved in the blink of an eye.

It was indeed the filth in the big shopkeeper's body, but it was not ordinary filth, but was formed after fusion with sinister poison.

It is said that the most yin and filthy forces in the world are as if they are alive, targeting and restraining all masculine forces. Once they are taken into the human body, all the filth in the human body will gather together, not only day after day but also every day.

A day's intrusion on a person's body may even turn into something like this, suffocating the person to death!

This evil must have been in the big shopkeeper's body for a long time, otherwise it would not have gathered on such a scale. This size is already terrifying. Just now, the big shopkeeper should have lost his mind when he saw us. He couldn't suppress it and was eroded. I

The master's hand looks simple, but I would never be able to do it, and Yuwenda and his sister can't do it, because trying to force that thing out is actually a wrestling process. At this point, someone who is half a step below the Heavenly Master can't do it.

Existence cannot be shaken at all!

I turned around and took a closer look at the big shopkeeper. Combining the various states he had shown before, I struggled to spit out eight words: "Five declines of heaven and man, death by thunder and fire!!"

These are two very terrifying disasters that practitioners have to face.

The path of a cultivator is difficult, and there are many tribulations along the way. The most familiar one is the five evils and three shortcomings. Anyone who is a person must know what this is. In fact, the five shortcomings and three shortcomings are the most difficult among many tribulations.

Slightly!!

The devastation of heaven and man, the disaster of death by thunder and fire, is the real disaster.

When a practitioner's energy and spirit are exhausted, it will lead to the five declines of heaven and man. The Taoist practice gained through a lifetime of hard practice will continue to collapse, and eventually he will become a mortal and quickly die. The specific manifestations are that his hair will wither and become dull.

They are dull, their armpits are constantly sweating, their body is often dirty and smelly, and so are their clothes. Even their personality is melancholy, feeling unhappy, uncomfortable, and carefree all day long.

The five symptoms are collectively called the Five Defects of Heaven and Man!!

As far as I know, only some practitioners who fail to pass the test will easily go downhill and experience the symptoms of the five degenerations of heaven and man...

Almost all the shopkeepers have these symptoms!

As for the death disaster of thunder and fire, this is easy to understand, it is the punishment of heaven and thunder!

Different from the heavenly punishment caused by killing Longzi Pulse before, I had Qian Tianhe, so I punished it by heaven!

The thunder and fire death catastrophe is a concentrated explosion of all the causes and effects in a cultivator's life. It is even more dangerous and can be said to be a matter of death but not life!

The Taoists do not want to be implicated in karma. Actually, they are afraid of the five degenerations of heaven and humans and the death catastrophe of thunder and fire. My master has always been worried about me and feels that I have left too much karma. In fact, he is afraid that I will cause the death catastrophe of thunder and fire in the future!

Whether it is the five degenerations of heaven and man, or the calamity of death by thunder, fire, if one of the two is accidentally contaminated, it will be difficult for a person to survive. The big shopkeeper has experienced both!!

My master stared at the scorch marks all over his body and sighed: "Did fellow Taoist fail in the end?"

Even I think so.

Unexpectedly, the big shopkeeper shook his head and laughed "ho ho", but the way he looked now, his smile was really ugly, and then said: "No, I succeeded, hehe hehe... I have worked hard all my life."

, I was half a step away from becoming a Heavenly Master, but I ended up here. Not long after, I took two steps in a row, and now, I am also a Heavenly Master!!"

My master was suspicious and remained silent for a long time.

The great shopkeeper's body exudes a weird fragrance, which is indeed the characteristic of a heavenly master.

"father!"

Suddenly, a call interrupted our thoughts.

A petite voice emerged from the hole in the ground, and ran into the arms of the big shopkeeper!

This person is none other than Hu Yue'er.

She didn't come in with us. She had been muttering outside with Hu Tiansheng. The brother and sister didn't know what they were talking about. They helped Hu Tiansheng deal with the traces and smells we left outside. Now she arrived belatedly.

After a while, Hu Yue'er raised her head and looked at the big shopkeeper carefully for a while, with a smile on her face. Then she turned around and called Hu Changsheng "brother". The latter responded, and then she looked around here.

Gradually, the smile on Hu Yue'er's face disappeared.

"Where is the third brother? Where has my third brother gone?"

She had a bad premonition and tears gradually filled her eyes. She looked back at Hu Tiansheng behind her in disbelief and said, "Second brother, where is third brother? Why didn't you tell me about third brother..."

"well……"

The big shopkeeper sighed quietly, stroked Hu Yue'er's head, then touched his belly, and said in a harsh voice: "No need to look for it, your third brother... is here!"

By the time he finished speaking, the big shopkeeper's cloudy eyes were filled with tears.

This was probably the first time we met. He didn't look so cold, and his beard and hair were trembling constantly. He turned back to look at my master, with a sense of sadness and twilight in his body, and hissed: "My whole life, it can be considered

Happy, apart from the youngest, four children are all filial, and there are five good disciples, and disciples and friends all over the world. At this point in my life, what more can I ask for?

Blame me!

It's all my fault!

I just believed what the world said about the great scenery of Heavenly Master, and spent my whole life pursuing the illusory way of Heavenly Master, and coveting the vain fame in the world, but I asked everyone to praise the Longjiang Hu clan for being the most righteous, but I jumped into this place with my children and disciples.

fire pit.

In the end, all my sons and disciples died in the battle, more than a hundred old friends, four sons came, three sons returned, and dozens of young and good lives were ruined by me in this dark place...

I am guilty!!

Fellow Daoist Zhang, if you ask me, since the five degenerations of heaven and human beings have occurred, and the disaster of death by thunder and fire has been added to the body, what kind of heavenly master can I talk about?

This is my path to the Celestial Master, built on the bones of my children and old friends, so why should I be afraid of countless disasters?"
