The practice of Taishan Dao not only enhances the Flesh but also purifies the soul. Chen Mo was half-focused, driven solely by the concept of the law. If one were to speak of desires, then his greatest desire would be to eliminate all Evil Masters in the world.
The Fuyou Ling could not inflict any substantial harm on Chen Mo. They could only watch him with resentful expressions as he walked further away. Some of the Fuyou Ling displayed a gloating demeanor, huddling together and whispering, as if there were some terrifying presence ahead.
Chen Mo noticed that as he ventured deeper, the Fuyou Ling on both sides of the bridge grew fewer, which was not a good sign. This only confirmed that something strange was happening here, causing those Fuyou Ling to hesitate.
A low, mournful wailing echoed from within the mist. A woman dressed in a kimono was crouched at the edge of the bridge, her head bowed in tears. Overcome with sorrow, her body trembled involuntarily, and much of her garment had slipped off her shoulders, exposing her fair skin and endless allure.
Chen Mo didn’t even glance at her and continued walking forward.
"My husband, are you truly so heartless that you won't even look at me?"
Suddenly, the woman in the kimono stood up. Her figure was ethereal, almost ghostly. In the next moment, she vanished from her original spot and appeared right in front of Chen Mo.
"Qiao Ji?"
Chen Mo's footsteps halted abruptly. He stared at the woman who had appeared before him, her bare skin pale and devoid of color. But it was her face...
It was a figure that was half alluring and half skeletal. Blood continued to flow from its hollow eye sockets, sending chills down one’s spine.
Qiao Ji is a female demon from Eastern Mythology. During the Anshi Period in Eastern Japan, there was a woman known for her extreme jealousy and grotesque appearance. Consumed by envy, she sought to curse those she despised to death, performing nightly rituals while submerged in water.
In the end, she transformed into Qiao Ji. If a man, particularly one of her preferred type, passed by at night, she would appear on the bridge, using various seductive methods to lure him into the water, where he would drown.
However, Qiao Ji's targets were not limited to men. Driven by intense jealousy, if any woman more beautiful than herself passed through, Qiao Ji would drag her into the water to drown as well.
Standing atop the old serpent's eight-foot body, I summoned Zushi from the spirit coffin, shaking the world with my reputation—who doesn’t know of Taishan Dao?
Chen Mo formed the Three Mountain Seal with his fingers and recited the incantation. This was a famous spell-casting technique of Taishan Dao. Offering a drop of his soul blood at Zushi's altar allowed him to communicate with Zushi through the incantation and unleash powerful spells.
Disciple Chen Mo called upon Weng Zhong!
With a hum, an illusory image of mountains emerged around Chen Mo’s body. His physique began to swell, muscles rising like small hills; at that moment, he possessed immense strength.
Weng Zhong was of the Ruan clan and a general under Shihuangdi. He contributed significantly to the unification of the six states and was honored posthumously by Qin Shihuang, who had his likeness cast in bronze and placed outside Sima Gate in Xianyang City. Standing over thirteen feet tall and known for his extraordinary bravery, he was revered as a deity by later generations. Thus, people wore representations of Weng Zhong to ward off evil spirits.
Since ancient times, most stone figures and horses found outside tombs were sculpted based on Weng Zhong's likeness.
