Chapter 725: Chapter 322 Red-haired Ghost

Granny Sha once said that Chen Shi’s soul is too strong, causing his Three Corpse Gods to also be terrifyingly strong. In the future, when he removes the Three Corpse, it will likely be much more difficult for him than others.

The Lower Corpse God Peng Jue seemed to notice the commotion in the back hall, came to the front of the back hall, and blocked the hall door with huge eyes, peeping inside.

"Master, you’re in there, right? Hurry out! I know of some beautiful women, graceful and charming. Tonight I’ll take you to have some fun, enter their dreams, and enjoy yourself!"

At this moment, two other Corpse Gods crawled out from the great halls on the left and right sides: the Upper Corpse God Peng Ju, with a handsome appearance, resembling a gentleman, always amiable.

The Middle Corpse God was pot-bellied, quite noble in appearance, much fatter than Chen Shi as he is now.

They all resembled Chen Shi’s appearance as well.

The two Corpse Gods also came to the door, and the Upper Corpse God Peng Ju laughed, "The moonlight is just right tonight, let’s go to the theater to listen to some songs!"

The Middle Corpse God Peng Zhi laughed, "Good idea! I know a place with fine delicacies, perfect for a great feast!"

The Lower Corpse God Peng Jue persuasively urged, "Master, you’ve accumulated so much money in the underworld, if you don’t spend it, is it really money? Stop sleeping, come out. The three of us brothers will take you to enjoy life!"

The other two Corpse Gods also urged him in a variety of ways to get Chen Shi to come out and revel with them in debauchery.

"Master, rest assured, they can’t get in." The little Yaksha said.

Chen Shi curiously asked, "Why can’t they come in?"

The little Yaksha said, "Probably because the Yuan Chen Palace corresponds to the master’s body, the front hall corresponds to the lower body, the left and right halls correspond to the five senses and organs, while here is the Divine Court. The Upper Corpse God uses five colors to seduce you, draining your essence, the Middle Corpse God makes you commit evil, draining your merit, and the Lower Corpse God uses beauty to tempt you, draining your life span and Qi-Blood. They start to act when the master falls asleep, but since the master’s life isn’t meant to end, when asleep, the soul hides in the Divine Court, allowing it to avoid the Three Corpse Gods."

Chen Shi looked at the boat woman, showing a questioning expression.

The boat woman shook her head and said, "I don’t know either. I am a ghost god, have not experienced these things, and am completely clueless."

Chen Shi humbly asked the little Yaksha for advice on the Three Corpse Gods, the little Yaksha spoke without reserve, "The Three Corpse Gods will try every means to sever the master’s immortal fate, making the master indulge excessively in food and desire. They first let you commit adultery in dreams, leading to a collapse of your Dao Heart in reality, making you do the same absurd things as in the dream. The master will become weaker and weaker, making it more difficult to guard the Divine Court. At that time, as the master’s life span depletes, all merit and blessings lost, the Three Corpse Gods will break in and devour the master’s soul and Primordial Spirit."

Chen Shi asked, "How can I resist?"

The little Yaksha said, "Hearing seductive music, seeing colorful sights, tasting delicious food, smelling exotic fragrances, conversing about beauty, perceiving it with emotion, having evil thoughts and indulging them, all will strengthen the Three Corpse Gods. To weaken them, one must cultivate the Pure Yang Method, using oneself as a furnace, gathering Heart Spirit into the body, internally observing the body, essence not leaking externally, Qi naturally grows stronger. When thunder is self-generated within the body, making the body pure yang, the Three Corpse Gods will naturally be slain."

Chen Shi was greatly surprised, "How do you know these things?"

"I worked in many households, and some people were controlled by the Three Corpse Gods, indulging excessively in food and lust, quickly depleting their bodies, letting the Three Corpse Gods invade the Divine Court and devour the soul, leaving a lamentable demise."

The little Yaksha said, "I’ve seen Daoists cultivating the Pure Yang Method, whose Spirit and will are indomitable, forging a Pure Yang Body, the Three Corpse Gods would be slain by the thunders formed from their Pure Yang Qi."

Chen Shi said, "Do other little Yakshas have the same knowledge as you?"

The little Yaksha said, "I encountered some fellow kind outside and when I talked with them, found they were muddle-headed."

Chen Shi respectfully bowed to the ground and said earnestly, "You have taught me much and have been kind to me, accept my bow!"

The little Yaksha hastily kowtowed, "You are the master, I am the servant, how could I accept such a grand gesture from the master?"

It knocked its head on the ground repeatedly, causing Chen Shi’s face to change, he quickly pulled it up, made it stand properly, then kowtowed to it, returning the gesture it made earlier.

The little Yaksha was at a loss, grabbing its little round hat with both hands, not knowing what to do.

Chen Shi finished kowtowing and said, "You have been kind to me, if I were to accept your grand gesture, wouldn’t that blur the lines between gratitude and enmity?"

At this moment, the outside became quiet.

Chen Shi peeked through the door gap, not a trace of the Three Corpse Gods could be seen in the courtyard.

The little Yaksha said, "They went to the underworld to file a complaint. Whenever it’s night, the Three Corpse Gods will try to get you to indulge in debauchery. If you don’t go out to indulge, they will file a complaint in the underworld, telling the Judge who you lusted after that day, how much delicacy you consumed, and all the decadent acts, prompting the Judge to deduct your life span."

Chen Shi was taken aback, no wonder cultivators insist on slaying the Three Corpse Gods, otherwise, with them bad-mouthing you behind your back every day, no matter how long your life span is, it will get shaved away.

"What good does it do them to have me killed?" he asked.

The little Yaksha said, "By getting the master killed, they can replace the master in receiving incense offerings, enjoying life without needing to work."

"What if these Three Corpse Gods are killed when they are out?"

"If the Three Corpse Gods are killed outside, they will still be reborn in the Yuan Chen Palace, it won’t weaken them much."

"What if I sneak out while they’re off filing complaints?"

"They go to the underworld to file complaints, it takes an hour round trip. If the master goes out, you must be back within an hour, otherwise you’ll be blocked by them. They will lead you to indulge in debauchery, damaging your Dao foundation."
