Ying Lao is a mysterious old man imprisoned by chains in the Hong Gou within Bai Ze's spiritual space. He is a powerful Corpse Demon who claims to be a sage on par with Patriarch Bodhi. He takes Bai Ze as his disciple and teaches him the Corpse Emperor Vajra Fist. He advises Bai Ze on how to survive the pilgrimage tribulation by seizing identity and creating a false background. He cannot be freed from his seals.
