Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

Chapter 107 Duanmu Ying, you are still "alive" in the body of the Lü family, aren't y

"The true nature of the Three Corpses?"

Tu Junfang nodded upon hearing this, "That is indeed the [Three Corpses' True Forms]. This is also the reason why I joined Quanxing over the years and lured people into causing chaos with the Three Corpses."

"Everyone's desires are different, and the three corpses that arise from this are naturally different for each person."

"Just like me, my three corpses are exactly as described in the Taoist scriptures: the stinger of a wasp, the mouth of a green snake, and the body of a beautiful lady."

"This is not only because it was created by the Three Demon Sect's methods, but also because it is related to my obsession with completing the sect's heritage."

"Over the years, I have always hoped to observe the three corpses arising from various desires in the world, so as to deepen my research on the three corpses and find a suitable method to 'slay the three corpses'."

At this point, Tu Junfang shook his head in disappointment, "But the results were minimal, and as time went on, the influence of the Three Corpses on me became more and more profound."

He grinned at Lü Qian, and his already gaunt face suddenly looked somewhat terrifying.

A close examination of Tu Junfang's appearance and physique reveals that he is now like steel that has been repeatedly tempered by the Three Poisons.

He was thin, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he had indulged in excessive sexual activity; his face was plain but revealed a chilling ruthlessness, as if he was ready to kill someone.

"The three corpses manifest easily, eroding one's own body."

Lü Qian nodded. "In that case, how do I summon my Three Corpses True Form?"

"Fellow Daoist Lü, please don't be impatient. This is also the reason why my Three Demons Sect invited you here today. I will teach you the method of summoning and controlling the Three Corpses within our sect."

"Once you awaken your true nature of the Three Corpses, your self-awareness will become more complete."

"After all, the three corpses are just another side of your self, just like the you outside the mirror and the you in the mirror, but the difference depends on your own judgment."

A surge of black Qi emanated from Tu Junfang's body. These black Qi flows, resembling mist and haze, emerged from his body and became increasingly dense around him.

Gradually, three streams of black mist emerged from Tu Junfang's upper, middle, and lower dantian respectively, transforming into three pitch-black entities as the smoke swirled.

Emerging from the upper dantian was a black wasp with fluttering wings, its sharp stinger gleaming in the sunlight.

Emerging from the middle dantian was a jet-black bamboo-bodied python with a huge mouth revealing sharp venomous fangs.

Emerging from the lower dantian was a naked, hot-bodied, but faceless, alluring woman. She lay on her side beside Tu Junfang's thigh, her every move captivating and seductive.

These are the upper, middle, and lower corpses representing the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance.

Lu Qian looked at the three corpses, each with a different form and exuding a unique allure, but his eyes remained calm and unwavering, clearly unmoved by their presence.

Tu Junfang, who had summoned his three corpses, extended a finger toward Lü Qian. Black Qi flowed from his three corpses and condensed at the fingertip into a droplet of black smoke.

"Fellow Daoist Lü, take the [Three Corpse Poison] from my hand to awaken your own Three Corpses."

"But I must also remind you that while awakening the Three Corpses is simple, controlling or even eradicating them is extremely difficult. If your cultivation is insufficient, the Three Corpses will hinder your progress."

"If you've thought it through, then proceed. But if you want to play it safe, it's best to stay away."

As he spoke, Tu Junfang dripped the dangling Three Corpse Poison from his fingertips into his palm and handed it to Lü Qian.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Fellow Daoist Tu. I have already made up my mind."

After saying that, Lü Qian, without changing his expression, reached out and touched the Three Corpse Poison in Tu Junfang's palm.

Manifesting the Three Corpses was not only for better facing himself, but for Lü Qian, this step also had other purposes.

As Lü Qian's cultivation of life force improved day by day, his memories of the comics from his previous life became more and more profound, and he discovered something very interesting.

His memory had been tampered with.

After much thought, Lü Qian concluded that there was only one possibility, and only one person who could make him attack without resistance: himself.

In the original novel, after Lü Liang awakened the Dual-Hand Technique, only the Upper and Middle Corpses were awakened, but the Lower Corpse was not, and the complete Dual-Hand Technique was able to control all three Corpses.

Under normal circumstances without interference, the Lü family members should only be able to awaken the Minghun Technique, which is half of the Dual-Hand Technique, instead of awakening the complete Dual-Hand Technique at once like I did.

Therefore, Lü Qian had a conjecture, a very big conjecture.

He left Lüjia Village not only to seek the Tao, but also possibly to protect himself in danger.

As for what kind of danger it was, Lü Qian had some guesses, but he couldn't be sure. Now he could only use the Three Corpses to investigate.

Lu Qian's hand resolutely reached for the Three Corpse Poison in Tu Junfang's hand, and the moment they made contact, a strange change occurred.

In an instant, the original single drop of Three Corpse Poison, upon being touched, suddenly spread out, transforming back into a dense black mist that swirled around Lü Qian and gradually seeped into his body.

As the black mist invaded, Lü Qian immediately felt a slight ripple spread across his once calm and still heart.

He sat cross-legged on the futon with his eyes closed, following his own heart and the allure of the Three Corpse Poison, revealing the true form of the Three Corpse within his body.

As the black mist completely merged into Lü Qian's body, a clear, pale black shadow slowly emerged from his form.

Initially, the shadow emerged from Lü Qian's body like a stream of pale black water, and then, drawn together by gravity, converged on the ground.

Then, the dark black water transformed into swirling, light ink-colored clouds, and a clear outline gradually emerged as the clouds surged.

Across from Lü Qian, Tu Junfang stared wide-eyed at the scene, not wanting to miss a single detail.

For him, watching the process of Lu Qian's three corpses manifesting was like discovering a huge treasure.

For example, Lu Qian's three dark-colored corpses were the effect of the [Heavenly Escape Sword Technique] slaying the three corpses.

It was as light as smoke, completely different from his three corpses, which were as black as ink.

Lu Qian closed his eyes and sat cross-legged. The manifestation of the three corpses did not seem to affect his state of mind. He remained as unmoved as ever.

As the three corpses manifested, the peach wood sword on Lü Qian's back gradually emitted a golden glow.

The light shone on him, shattering the still-forming three corpses once more.

A painful roar seemed to emanate from within the pale ink-like clouds.

Seeing this, Lü Qian joined his right index and middle fingers together, and with a sword incantation, the peach wood sword flew out and hovered above his head, its golden radiance suppressed to within three inches of the blade.

After the golden light that had annihilated the three corpses withdrew, the cloud-like three corpses condensed again, and a figure dressed in a Taoist robe and carrying a peach wood sword appeared in front of Lü Qian.

The figure sat cross-legged facing Lü Qian, chanting, "May the Heavenly Venerable bestow boundless blessings!"

"So it was me."

Lu Qian slowly opened his eyes, his calm gaze reflecting the other person's figure and face. That face was so familiar; it was his own.

As if looking in a mirror, as Lü Qian opened his eyes, his three corpses also opened their eyes and looked at the Taoist in front of him with indifferent expressions.

"I understand now."

As Lü Qian finished speaking, the peach wood sword hanging above his head suddenly shone brightly with golden light. In a flash, it directly shattered the three corpses that had solidified in front of him, turning them into a wisp of even thinner smoke.

"Desire is the root of the three corpses, but desire is also the root of the human body, and the three corpses are only the other half of the human body."

"One cannot sever the root of desire; abandoning half of oneself may bring peace, but one is no longer human."

"Instead, it is like the [Burning God and Refining God], which dissipates the yin essence within, thereby obtaining the other half of pure yin, and creating a perfect self."

Looking at the three corpses struggling under the peach wood sword, Lü Qian realized the true nature of the three corpses based on what he had seen and heard along the way, and thus found a solution.

"good!"

He nodded, having found the answer to another question in his mind.

Duanmu Ying, you are still "alive" in the body of the Lü family, aren't you?
