"Awww, senior brother, you are so bad! You went to the ghost market without me!"
Chu Chen had just returned home, but before he entered the house, a small figure stopped at the door, blocking the way.
The little kid put his hands on his hips, his face turned red, and he felt aggrieved.
Chu Chen felt a little guilty for no reason, so he walked up and touched the little guy's head to comfort him.
However, the little kid got really angry now. He avoided his hand and stared at Chu Chen with an aggrieved look, which made him go crazy.
Chu Chen smiled awkwardly and explained:
"Well, little kid, you misunderstood my senior brother. This time I went home specifically to pick you up, but I asked the concierge and he said that Master Sanya didn't come home. Senior Brother was thinking that you went out with Master and couldn't go...
"
After a lot of explanations, the considerate little ghost finally became calm and turned his attention to the gold-grained stone.
"Hey, senior brother, do you want to practice [Pingkai Immortal Cave]?"
The kid asked curiously.
Chu Chen nodded: "I have been practicing hard these days to open the Immortal Cave Talisman, and I finally made it."
"Senior brother, you are so powerful. It took a lot of effort for me to practice this magic back then. I don't know how long it took me to learn it after the yellow talisman was broken..."
The kid quietly broke the news to Chu Chen, but little did he know that a dark shadow silently overshadowed him.
Astonishingly, it was Taoist Master Xu Ping.
"Um~ Master, why do you make no sound when you walk? It scares me to death." The little kid slapped his chest wildly, shocked.
There is no one who is scared by ghosts.
"If you don't do anything wrong, what are you afraid of?"
Taoist Xu Ping glanced at the little ghost angrily, ignored him, and looked at his apprentice Chu Chen:
"Disciple, can you write the Immortal Cave Talisman on the screen?"
Chu Chen nodded.
Needless to say, Chu Chen wrote a screen-opening fairy cave talisman in front of Taoist Master Xu Ping.
This time, Chu Chen seemed very perfunctory in writing the talisman and only performed half of his level.
Even so, Taoist Xu Ping was extremely surprised.
With Taoist Master Xu Ping's vision, he could tell at a glance that although the writing style of this talisman was a little green, the talisman was full of courage and there were basically no mistakes in the head and foot of the talisman. No matter how you looked at it, it was a good-quality talisman.
"Besides this talisman, what other talisman do you have?"
Chu Chen thought for a moment and wrote another cloud-riding talisman. This talisman was the talisman required for the spell [Clouds from the soles of the feet]. It was not shown in the Heart Temple. He learned it on his own.
For this, he is quite proud.
He does not rely on the inner temple, but relies entirely on his own efforts to cultivate spells, which is of great significance to him.
If he is completely dependent on the Heart Temple, then he is a vassal of the Heart Temple.
But he has the ability to practice magic, so he doesn't have to rely on the Heart Temple. The Heart Temple is a tool for him, a platform and medium for him to understand Taoism and help him develop magical powers.
This is like the difference between having a sword and not having a sword.
If a man has a sword, he can use it, but he must not be without one. The bones of a husband without a sword are weak, so how can he be a true man?
The two seem similar, but in fact they are worlds apart.
Taoist Xu Ping didn't understand Chu Chen's inner thoughts. After seeing the "Chengyun Talisman", the surprise on his face subsided slightly.
"The Chengyun Talisman is a bit unfamiliar. It is far inferior to the Pingkai Fairy Cave Talisman. It seems that you are very interested in [Pingkai Fairy Cave]."
After saying that, Taoist Master Xu Ping began to explain in detail the many key points of practicing the magic [Ping Kai Immortal Cave], explaining everything in detail.
Chu Chen understood everything, but he also listened very carefully.
After the lecture was over, Chu Chen thought about it and finally decided to tell him about Long Jun’s invitation to join Jiuyou Pavilion.
Taoist priest Xu Ping was a little surprised:
"You didn't accept the funding, but Lord Long actually introduced you to Jiuyou Pavilion?"
Chu Chen nodded.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Compared to Di Yuan Longjun, Chu Chen naturally believed in his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping.
Taoist Master Xu Ping turned his head away and said: "It's okay, it's not a bad thing. Master Jiuyou Pavilion has heard about it. It's a great thing for you to join Jiuyou Pavilion. What surprises me is that Lord Long is so optimistic about you."
After speaking, he added:
"This is no longer a matter of ordinary regard, but a firm belief that you will have great fortunes in the future, which is why I brought you into Jiuyou Pavilion early."
Chu Chen became more and more surprised.
The source of all this comes from the Moonlight Divine Wine and the "Golden Light Divine Curse".
It seems that he still underestimated the Golden Light Divine Curse.
"Master, if that's the case, then I have contacted the Nine Nether Alliance?"
"Well, we are not obsessed with alchemy and ascetic cultivation. Making friends with fellow practitioners is also a kind of practice."
Taoist Master Xu Ping nodded and solemnly instructed: "You just need to remember one thing, don't associate with evil cultivators or do things that harm nature and justice."
"Master, this disciple knows."
Chu Chen nodded in agreement.
Speaking of evil, he thought of the Bone Lady who stole human souls.
"Master, do you have any clues about the Bone Lady?"
Taoist Master Xu Ping shook his head: "Since it was jointly encircled and suppressed by Dachang Immortal Court, this demon has become extremely cunning and extremely difficult to deal with."
"After the last siege by County Magistrate Xu, she became more cautious and rarely showed up. She usually sent her demons or bewitched mortals to do things for her, quietly stealing people's souls.
.”
"These days, we have finally found clues. As soon as we followed up, the clues were immediately cut off."
"Master, the White Bone Empress still dares to steal the soul after her identity is exposed. She is too courageous."
Chu Chen was secretly surprised, this Bone Lady was too arrogant.
"Why don't you dare? This Bone Lady practices by regenerating souls, and the souls of human beings are particularly suitable for her practice. Back then, she was killed by the Immortal Court monks until she was reduced to a wisp of soul. She survived and relied on stealing the lives of people in the surrounding counties and villages of Xin'an in the past two years.
The soul is able to make a comeback, and she eats too much fish and meat, so how can she be willing to be a vegetarian."
When Taoist Xu Ping mentioned the Bone Lady, a look of violence flashed across his face, filled with murderous intent.
"According to the accounts of the human prisoners who have captured the little demon these days, hundreds of thousands of people have been persecuted by this white-bone demon over the years. They have unknowingly had their souls stolen by the white-bone demon, one by one.
Aging prematurely and dying."
Chu Chen was speechless after hearing this.
Hundreds of thousands of people suffered.
The damage caused by the Bone Lady now is much greater than when she was in her heyday, massacring villages and killing people wantonly.
The most important thing is that this is only the number confessed by the captured little demon. There is no guarantee of how many souls the White Bone Demon has stolen behind the scenes and how many people it has harmed.
Perhaps, this is just the tip of the iceberg, stealing the souls of millions of people.
The big demon, the real big demon!
Chu Chen felt a chill in his heart. If he hadn't happened to enter Taoism that day, I'm afraid he would have been one of the victims.
"Has no one discovered that the Bone Demon stole souls in these years?"
Chu Chen asked.
"Some people have known about it for a long time. Unfortunately, they chose to collude with the Bone Demon."
Taoist priest Xu Ping's eyes were dark, with a look of sadness on his face.
Chu Chen was stunned and guessed something, with a look of astonishment on his face.
"Master, are you saying that someone in the imperial court is colluding with the Bone Demon?"
Taoist priest Xu Ping looked serious:
"The mountain god who was enshrined by the imperial court was linked to the Bone Demon. The evidence is conclusive!"
Chu Chen was stunned: "Master, according to the usual practice, the mountain god hooks up with the monster to harm people. What should we do?"
Taoist priest Xu Ping slowly spit out the eight characters:
"Destroy mountains and cut down temples, raise altars and slaughter gods"
