Chapter 3 I want you to help me practice!
Guarding Gengshen is also known as "guarding the three corpses" or "beheading the three corpses".

It refers to staying up all night and practicing meditation on the Gengshen day to eliminate the "three corpses".

The three corpses are named Peng Ju, Peng Tu and Peng Qiao.

Greed, anger and ignorance are the three original sins that humans are born with, and are the products of desires becoming concrete.

Legend has it that one of the founders of the three demon sects discovered a secret.

The Three Corpses are actually supervisory gods stationed in the human body. On every Gengshen day, the Three Corpses will temporarily leave the human body while the host is asleep and go to the fairyland to report what the host has done. The fairyland will then make a decision on human safety based on these records.

It was by relying on this secret that the founder of the Three Demon Sects created the method of guarding Gengshen and eventually achieved enlightenment and became an immortal.

"Can guarding Gengshen really make one become an immortal?"

Wang Yuanjing asked with some curiosity.

Tu Junfang shook his head.

"do not know."

“However, since then, the disciples of the Three Demon Sect have left behind a tradition that they will stay up all night and meditate on the Gengshen day, hoping to eliminate the three corpses like the ancestor and then achieve immortality.”

"The day I found you was the Gengshen Day. I met you just as I was about to come back to meditate and practice. You are lucky."

"The reason I told you this is because I don't want you to have any wild thoughts that might affect what happens next."

This place is not far from where Wang Yuanjing had the accident.

Is it really a coincidence?
Wang Yuanjing believed in his heart that the other party saved him just on a whim.

It is true that I have a strong connection with these three demon sects.

"Brother Tu, you want to..."

he asked tentatively.

Tu Junfang glanced at him and then shook his head.

"The path to the Three Demon Sect is already cut off, so I will not accept you as a disciple."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Wang Yuanjing's eyes.

After traveling to this world, he certainly didn't want to live a mediocre life. Tu Junfang was already the closest person in the circle that he could get in touch with.

"But I will make you an Inhuman."

Tu Junfang said slowly.

"why?"

Wang Yuanjing had apparently developed a resistance to Tu Junfang's habit of breathing heavily when he spoke, so he asked.

Since Tu Junfang doesn't intend to accept me as his disciple, why should I bother?

"You have great aptitude. Logically, you should have been discovered by someone in the circle long ago and then introduced to a sect for training."

"I don't know why you are still an ordinary person until now."

"But I don't care about any of that."

"I saved your life, but it wasn't in vain."

"I want you to help me practice!"

Tu Junfang spoke every word authentically.

"Follow the method I give you and become a stranger, and help me explore the next path for the Three Demon Sects."

"Brother Tu, do you have so much confidence in me?"

Wang Yuanjing frowned and asked, they wanted him to be the experimental subject, and the risk was not small, otherwise Tu Junfang could do it himself.

Tu Junfang stretched out two fingers and said lightly.

"First, I told you that you have great qualifications."

"Second, you seem to have misunderstood something. I have never had any confidence in you. This is what you owe me, and you should pay it back."

"Of course, you can choose not to accept it, but..."

Tu Junfang suddenly burst out with murderous intent and attacked Wang Yuanjing.
Wang Yuanjing, who had just recovered from a serious illness, suddenly felt as if he was falling into an abyss, as if he had fallen into a cold and damp quagmire.

There was a flash of fear in his eyes.

My legs went weak and I almost fell to the ground.

Tu Junfang withdrew his murderous intention.

"But I will take back what you owe me."

He said calmly that he was not a good believer and would not do business at a loss. After spending so much time and effort on this kid, he had to get something back.

"Huh" Wang Yuanjing gasped heavily, feeling a little regretful.

Perhaps it was because of the attitude Tu Junfang had always displayed that he lost his vigilance without knowing when, and even forgot that the person in front of him was a complete villain.

Wait until he gradually calms down.
"I understand."

Wang Yuanjing said with difficulty.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

"As long as you know."

Tu Junfang nodded with satisfaction.

"I'll tell you one more thing. You should still remember the nightmares you've had frequently during this period, right?"

"I said, that's a sign that the three corpses are about to manifest."

"If you don't resolve this problem, the nightmares will stay with you for the rest of your life and the symptoms will get worse and worse."

"Until one day, your spirit will be completely eroded by the three corpses."

"That will be the day when your lamp will run out of oil."

Tu Junfang smiled and patted Wang Yuanjing on the shoulder.

"So in a way, I'm saving your life, too."

The corpse demon's words were like a basin of cold water poured on his head. Wang Yuanjing's yearning for extraordinary people was completely extinguished by Tu Junfang.

According to what Tu Junfang said, from now on.
My life has entered the countdown.

"what should I do?"

Wang Yuanjing asked.

Tu Junfang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that a teenager of fifteen or sixteen would be so calm and adjust himself so quickly after knowing his situation.

interesting!
Tu Junfang touched his chin and suddenly felt a little curious about the other party's experience.

"Practice and become an extraordinary person."

Tu Junfang said.

"Use Qi to temper your spirit, energy and spirit, and delay the process of being eroded by the three corpses."

"But once you become an alien, the speed at which the three corpses manifest will become faster, and the erosion of your vitality will become more serious."

"So what you have to do is follow the technique I gave you, step by step."

Wang Yuanjing thought about it for a while and found the contradiction.

The other party's method cannot solve the problem unless the skills he provides can completely eliminate the three corpses.

But is it possible?
Tu Junfang himself said that the Three Demon Sect's path has been cut off and the method of beheading the Three Corpses has been lost. How could he possibly provide a method to eliminate the Three Corpses?
Therefore, even practicing can only delay this process. The erosion of the Three Corpses will not stop. Unless the growth of one's own energy and spirit can always keep pace with the erosion of the Three Corpses, the problem will still not be solved.

"What will happen if the three corpses reveal themselves?"

Wang Yuanjing asked.

Smart! You figured out the key to the problem so quickly.

A hint of praise flashed in Tu Junfang's eyes. He really liked this boy more and more. Both his character and qualifications were impeccable.

It's a pity that the inheritance of the Three Demon Sects has been cut off, otherwise it wouldn't be a bad idea to accept him as one.

Tu Junfang thought with some regret.

"After the three corpses appear, unless you remain emotionally stable, they will run out of your body and harass the host."

“For practitioners, most people cannot even escape the influence of the invisible three corpses, let alone after the three corpses manifest.”

"Just think about it. Three monsters surround you every day and harass you in every way. If you can't completely eliminate them, they will follow you like a shadow and trap you for the rest of your life."

The Spoon Killer? Or three?
Wang Yuanjing suddenly remembered a short play he had seen in his previous life, in which he was being harassed non-stop by three shadowy figures that followed him everywhere.

Who can keep their emotions stable? Once you fall into a vicious cycle, the result is self-evident.

He knew that Tu Junfang's words were by no means an exaggeration. A normal person would definitely go crazy if faced with such a situation.

"And the three corpses manifested by each person are different, and their powers are also different. There are many disciples in the Three Demon Sects who were killed by the backlash of the three corpses!"

"So you'd better hope that after the three corpses manifest, you will have the strength to resist."

　The Spoon Killer is a short play.

　　I won’t go into details here. Readers who are interested can search it online themselves. It’s quite interesting.
