Capítulo 6: Demon Subduing Hall
Editor: Henyee Translations
Most of the current Daoist temples on Dragon Tiger Mountain were still passed down from the first Celestial Master Zhang a thousand years ago.
After all, so many years had passed. Putting aside the fact that they had been exposed to natural elements for a long time, no matter how sturdy the materials from a thousand years ago were, it would be difficult for them to withstand time.
Therefore, the temples on Dragon Tiger Mountain had been renovated many times.
Until modern times, there were a total of five major repairs and tens of thousands of minor repairs.
Even Three Pure Hall had been repaired many times, but there was only one place in the entire Dragon Tiger Mountain that hadn't been repaired for more than a thousand years.
That was the Demon Vanquishing Hall.
What was it?
It was the place where Celestial Master Zhang imprisoned the demons, and the door was sealed. Generations of Celestial Masters had personally drawn talismans, stamped them, and sealed the door.
Back in the Song Dynasty, Grand Commandant Hong released 108 demons from there, leading to a story of 108 bandits that swept across the land.
The Demon Subduing Hall wasn't only resealed by generations of Celestial Masters, but even the materials used to build the hall were carefully selected in the first place. They were finely carved and wouldn't rot for a thousand years.
There were rumors in the outside world that a piece of wood in the hall was worth a small fortune in the secular world.
To a certain extent, that wasn't a rumor.
From the first Celestial Master Zhang onward, other than Celestial Masters and deputy abbots in charge of the mountain, no other Daoist masters were allowed to approach the Demon Subduing Hall.
Without sufficient cultivation ability, it was very easy for a Daoist master to be attacked by the demonic aura in the Demon Subduing Hall. If he wasn't careful, he might even be targeted by the demons inside.
If ordinary people walked around in the Demon Subduing Hall, they would realize that as they walked, they were joined by more and more creatures. Hundreds of ghosts would follow them in formation…
Even Qin Yang and Xuan Yin rarely went to the Demon Subduing Hall.
They would only make a trip to the Demon Subduing Hall every five years when the seals needed enhancing.
After all, the Yin energy in that damn place was too strong. Even Qin Yang would feel uncomfortable if he kept going there.
However, these thieves didn't have any cultivation at all. They relied on their courage and unyielding demeanor to rush into the Demon Subduing Hall.
Qin Yang could imagine how excited the demons in the hall would have been.
It had been more than a thousand years, but this was the first time such lively people had entered the Demon Subduing Hall, and they were even foreigners.
The demons imprisoned in the Demon Subduing Hall were all vengeful spirits and evil demons that had wreaked havoc and harmed lives in the world during the past thousand years.
Back then, they had harmed many people from the ancient Dragon Country, but this was the first time they had met a foreigner.
Not only did the thieves tear open the seal to open the door for the demons, but they even took the initiative to turn themselves into sacrifices. That was almost touching!
…
At this moment, Qin Yang had found out everything about the thieves who stole from the mountain.
He knew how many of them there were, as well as their names, genders, identities, occupations, home addresses, and so on.
Qin Yang even knew their parents' phone numbers and all their distant relatives.
It was very thorough.
…
Qin Yang opened his eyes and stood up from the Three Pure Hall before walking toward the Demon Subduing Hall.
At the entrance of the Demon Subduing Hall, Qin Yang looked at the torn seal.
As expected, the thieves had come in last night.
Qin Yang walked straight in.
The hall was pitch-black. Countless Demon Sealing Jars were placed in all directions.
At the seal of each jar, there was a Celestial Master seal.
In the center of the hall, there was a memorial tablet of the Nine Heavens Devil-rinsing Grandmaster. It was used to worship the True Martial Great Emperor and suppress the demons with his memorial tablet.
After Qin Yang entered, he first bowed to the Nine Heavens Devil-rinsing Grandmaster.
The Nine Heavens Devil-rinsing Grandmaster was one of the Four Sages of the North Pole of Daoism, the True Martial Great Emperor.
It referred to the patriarch who subjugated demons and devils under the Nine Heavens. Because the patriarch was the ancestor of demon subjugation in the three worlds and was also the nemesis of demons, he had been worshiped here by Dragon Tiger Mountain to suppress demons and devils for so many years.
After paying his respects to the martial emperor, Qin Yang looked at the many demon jars in the hall.
On every jar, there were seals set by previous Celestial Masters.
If a seal was intact, it meant that the monsters inside hadn't escaped.
Of course, it wasn't always the case.
For many demons with high cultivation levels, the seal couldn't completely restrain them. What really restrained them was the True Martial Great Emperor's memorial tablet here.
Qin Yang asked, "I'm the 68th Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain. Let me ask you, did some mortals barge into the Demon Subduing Hall last night? How many demons left with them?"
Qin Yang knew very well the temperament of those demons in the hall and what they would do when those foreigners barged into the Demon Subduing Hall.
How could those demons let go of the food that was delivered to their doorstep?
Especially those with great cultivation. The Demon Subduing Hall's door had already opened, so how could they not take off?
Sure enough, after Qin Yang finished speaking, one of the demon jars shook, and then a cloud of smoke rose.
A flirtatious fair-faced vixen with a hot figure ran out and sat on the demonic jar that sealed her.
She looked at Qin Yang with a teasing expression. "Well, the purple robe of the Celestial Master Manor has changed to a new person! When did this happen? I actually didn't know. Where's the previous Celestial Master? Could he be dead?"
Qin Yang remained unperturbed toward the vixen's provocation.
This fox had lived for more than 500 years. Even Celestial Master's Demon Sealing Jar couldn't trap her.
She definitely knew what happened last night.
Qin Yang said, "I don't want to hurt you on account of your hard cultivation. Tell me, how many demons escaped yesterday?"
The fox wanted to tease Qin Yang. In the next second, she turned into a ball of white mist and dissipated on the demon jar. Right after that, she was already on top of Qin Yang.
"Little Celestial Master, don't be anxious. Let me play with you first. From the looks of it, you still have a pure Yang body, right? What a rich masculine aura! I like it!"
She couldn't stop teasing him.
Qin Yang said, "Not only do I have Pure Yang Energy on me, but I also have something more powerful. Do you want to see it?"
"Oh? What is it?"
Qin Yang smiled. In an instant, the Five Thunder in his body was activated. White-purple thunderbolts flowed out of his body and circulated him.
Qin Yang stretched out his five fingers and slapped the Baihui acupoint on the top of the fox's head.
Five Thunder Technique!
In an instant, the terrifying power of lightning woke the fox up.
The Celestial Master's hand on her head could shatter her spirit completely!
Even if this vixen had 500 years of cultivation, it was still difficult for her to resist the orthodox Five Thunder Technique of Dragon Tiger Mountain!
Moreover, Qin Yang had upgraded the system's ultimate divine-quality Five Thunder Technique, and its power had increased by a hundred times.
The fox was instantly hit, and her demon spirit was greatly damaged.
She screamed in pain. In the next second, she saw Qin Yang as if he was a god and no longer dared to be impudent.
"Celestial Master, please stop. Put away the lightning technique, and let's talk things out. I won't dare to do it again. I'll tell you everything you want to know. The thieves sneaked into the Demon Subduing Hall last night.
"Head Slayer Ghost, Red Ghost King, Beauty Snake, and Golden-armored Ghoul took the opportunity to slip out. They're probably following those guys now."
Qin Yang listened to the fox's words.
Head Slayer Ghost, Red Ghost King, Beauty Snake, Golden-armored Ghoul…
Good lord, they were all bigshots of the Demon Subduing Hall.
It seemed like those thieves would have a hard time.
