Chapter 3: Shadow Eater

Deep in the dungeon of the Zongren Mansion

Zongrenfu is the place where the Great Qin detains the people of the royal family who violate the laws and decrees of the sect, since the establishment of the Great Qin Dynasty, it has already existed, there are not many princes and concubines, eunuchs and palace maids are imprisoned here, punished day and night, and even some people are directly killed in it, so even if the Zongren Mansion is in the scorching sun, it is still gloomy and abnormal, and the blood is overflowing, it can be said that the dungeon of the Zongrenfu and the Black Ice Platform Prison are the heaviest places in the whole Kyoto;

Zongren's Mansion is the place of royal punishment, and Black Ice Platform is the place of punishment of hundreds of officials in the court, I don't know how much blood has been shed in these two places, and how much resentment has gathered here;

How many princes and generals, the death of the royal family and nobles, the whole Kyoto people talk about changing color, just the cell where Yingyi is now detained, there are not many princes and princesses, concubines and eunuchs are executed here, and the blood flowing from the body dyes the ground black and brown, and it can be said that every inch of stone bricks is stained with blood.

The two jailers dragged Ying Yi back to the dungeon, locked the cell door, looked at Ying Yi, and walked away.

Ying Yi was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, and suffered thirty-six lashes every day according to the law of the sect, and the python clothes behind him have all been broken for more than ten days, and the smell of blood behind him is simply pungent, and now Ying Yi is no different from the prisoners in the cell, without the slightest appearance of a prince.

After seeing the two jailers leave, Ying Yi immediately got up, there was a crackling sound on his body, if the outside jailers came in again, I was afraid that he would be scared half to death, only to see a black python phantom around Ying Yi's body, there were seven phantoms to set off Ying Yi like a god and demon, seven phantoms shuttled back and forth next to Ying Yi's body, and even the snake letter could see it clearly, which was very terrifying;

You must know that the thirty-six lashes of Ying Yi are not fake beatings, there is no identity in the Zongren Mansion at all, as long as the guilt is confirmed, whether it is the prince and concubine, or the eunuch and palace maid, they must be punished in accordance with the provisions of the sect.

Ordinary people came to this Zongren Mansion and were punished, and they had already fainted without true qi to protect their bodies, so how could they sit up, and Ying Yi had just finished the punishment, and he actually began to cultivate, and if he was seen by the people of the Zongren Mansion, he would think that those execution guards were fake beatings.

Ying Yi sat cross-legged, opened his mouth and inhaled, a cold current mixed with bloody gas was inhaled into Ying Yi's body, and quickly transformed into Ying Yi's true qi, a stream of cold true qi, and was quickly swallowed by the seven python phantoms, more and more cold currents were transformed into their own true qi by Ying Yi, and then integrated into the python phantom, the python phantom hovered back and forth around Ying Yi's body, wrapping Ying Yi's whole person in the black mist, looking from a distance, only a figure could be seen sitting in the snake shadow, and even the face could not be seen clearly.

Half an hour passed, as if a python was drilled out of the void, and the eighth python phantom slowly condensed behind Ying Yi, from the head of the snake to the tail of the snake, even the scales on the snake's body were lined up one after another, lifelike, especially the eyes of the python, full of cold killing intent, faintly revealing a glimmer of light, as if it was going to live.

At this moment, Ying Yi suddenly stopped absorbing, and his breathing became calmer, only to see the phantom of the python follow the breath of Ying Yi into Ying Yi's mouth, until the last phantom was swallowed into the abdomen by Ying Yi, and saw that Ying Yi's body trembled, and the muscles of the whole body were covered with a black mist, just like many smaller snake shadows, these black fog were separated from the skin, and kept drilling into Ying Yi's flesh and blood, and bursts of pain came from all over the body, Ying Yi only felt that his flesh and blood kept shrinking, squeezing each other violently, but in half an hour, the whole person lost a lot of weight.

Suddenly, Ying Yi opened his eyes, a white light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and the cell seemed to flash a cold electric light, and the entire cell invisibly added a bit of coldness.

Walking to the door of the prison, Ying Yi held the iron bolt of the cell door with both hands, and the true qi kept outputting from the palm, and after a while, the iron bolt was already covered with a thin layer of frost mist, and it could be felt through the palm of his hand, the iron bolt had been filled with cold true qi, and Ying Yi felt that as long as he used a light force, the door bolt made of fine iron would be pinched into pieces.

"This Shadow Demon Sect can be ranked in the top five hundred by many sects in the Middle Ages, it is indeed extraordinary, I have only practiced the "Shadow Devouring Demon Skill" for just two years, and I have already entered the middle realm of the Qi Sea Realm, and I am only one step away from being complete, I am the prince of Great Qin, I have the fortune of the dynasty, and the phantoms condensed by the practice of "Shadow Devouring Demon Skill" are all in the form of dragons, and there will be nine primeval demon dragon phantoms in the Dacheng period, I really can't wait. ”

Thinking of this, another memory came to Yingyi's mind, which was a deeply buried memory.

............

"Yi'er, Yi'er, don't run around, my mother can't find you. A woman in a plain satin suit, anxiously shouted in a garden, although the plain woman's face was a little haggard, but still could not hide its inner natural beauty, like a green lotus in the rain, out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons.

Just when the woman was anxiously running, a four- or five-year-old child was hiding behind the flowers and laughing mischievously, seeing the woman looking in this direction, the child's eyes rolled, and immediately ran to the back, and the half-human-high flowers just covered the child's figure.

The child ran and ran, only to feel that the feet were empty, there was a dry well hidden in the grass, although the mouth of the well was not big, but it could fully accommodate the child's body, in the exclamation the child kept falling down, the bottom of the well did not know how deep, the child was drowsy in the process of falling.

The child who passed out in a coma only felt that everything was black in front of him, and a thick fog was surging towards him, and then this black fog quickly turned into a demon dragon that reached the sky, and the child was not even a mote in the eyes of this magic dragon, looking at the child's frightened eyes, the demon dragon laughed loudly;

"I didn't expect that my demon dragon son has been lurking for nearly 10,000 years, and today God treats me well, and finally sent me a body, those villains of the Bright Sect, when my demon dragon son goes out, I will definitely kill you and destroy the Dao system, hahaha......" The demon dragon laughed wildly, and the black gas on his body continued to emit out, becoming even more terrifying in the eyes of children.

"Haha, you don't have to resist, give me your body, and I will let your body spread to the whole world with my glory, come on, come on......"

With the voice of the demon dragon, the child felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, as if he was going to sleep.

"Humph!"

Just when the demon dragon was about to devour the child's soul and take it away, the child snorted coldly in his mind, and a golden face appeared in the child's sea of knowledge, the golden face carried a strong imperial aura, and an unspeakable coercion swept over, and the child only felt that the world was turned upside down for a while, and then he lost consciousness.

After waking up, the child was already sleeping on a soft bed, but it was not his own bed, a eunuch in a red robe held a black scroll, and a cold voice came into the child's ears; ”

This sentence has been engraved in Yingyi's mind since he was five years old, and has continued to this day, lingering for eight years, and Yingyi has not seen his biological mother for eight years, and now there is only a light and plain figure in his mind, and Yingyi is sometimes even afraid that he will forget his biological mother's face.

At the same time, it is also since that day that some strange things have popped up in Ying Yi's mind from time to time, this "Shadow Devouring Demon Skill" is an exercise that came out automatically, it is said to be the foundation building technique of the 365th Shadow Demon Sect in the Middle Ages, and now although Ying Yi's practice is a fragment, it is also stronger than the garbage exercise given to him by the royal family.

The struggle in the royal family is fierce, and there are endless conspiracies and tricks to seize power, and Ying Yi's identity is destined to make it impossible for him to get a good cultivation method, and he can only widen the gap with the rest of the princes, and finally become a foil.

Now in order to gain strength, Ying Yi does not hesitate to practice the Demon Dao Exercises, as long as the realm is profound, it is enough to change the skills and re-cultivate, and Ying Yi is only practicing to build the foundation, be careful not to be discovered by those priests of the royal family.

When practicing "Shadow Devouring Demon Skill", you need to use some special environment to condense the true qi seeds in the body, and after cultivation, you will form a vision phantom behind you, these phantoms are also the source of power, each realm cultivates nine phantoms behind you, it can be considered complete, and now Win Yi cultivates eight python phantoms, and the body has the power of eight pythons, this python is a heterogeneous python in ancient times, not comparable to today's pythons, and now Win Yi can crush people of the same realm just by virtue of strength.

"Mother, the child entered the dungeon of the Zongren Mansion two years ago, and found that the Shadow Devouring Demon Gong could be practiced in the Zongren Mansion, so he did not hesitate to test the law, just to come to this dungeon to practice, and now the child has spent two years, according to the above practice method to stabilize the foundation, and now he has cultivated the eighth python phantom, there is only one last step, and the first chapter can be completed, one day the child will stand in front of you, take you away, and no one can separate our mother and son. ”

Since the age of eleven, Ying Yi has come to this sect of the dungeon eight times, this time he practiced for more than ten days, and finally condensed the eighth python phantom, only the last step to cultivate nine phantoms, to reach the first great consummation.

The true qi cultivated by this "Shadow Devouring Demon Skill" is extremely domineering, before Ying Yi was only in the Qi Sea realm, and Ying Pengyu was already a cultivator in the Qi Sea realm, the two of them fought but a cup of tea, and the true qi in Ying Pengyu's body was about to be dispersed, if it weren't for Ying Yi's scruples and the law of the sect did not dare to make a dead hand, Win Pengyu would have already flown out of the sky.

Now that Ying Yi has cultivated the eighth python phantom, he is close to the realm of the air sea, as long as the ninth python phantom is cultivated, Ying Pengyu is only afraid that if he takes a face, he will be scattered all his true qi, and he will not even have a chance to fight back.
