Chapter 131: Sword Shadow Breaks Ghosts and Creatures Where Doesn't Practice
Chapter 131 The shadow of the sword destroys the ghosts, where is the practice?
"Fifteen miles to the northeast, there is a Shenxiao jade sign that triggers autonomous protection. Please help quickly."
The moment after receiving the message, Jiang Xuan looked at Little Tiger:
"Fifteen miles northeast, there is a disciple of Shenxiao being attacked. Take me there."
As Jiang Xuan finished speaking, the little tiger suddenly turned into a tiger, and then he carried the little donkey and Jiang Xuan on his back:
"Sir, Shenxiao disciples will basically have the Shenxiao thunder talisman of the magic realm to protect themselves when they go out. The difference is just more or less."
"Now that the Shenxiao Jade Card has been hit to trigger the protection, it may not be possible for just the two of us to go there. How about you shake people first?"
"Already shaken."
"After receiving the message, I have already sent a message to the fifth uncle. The fifth uncle asked me to rush over and rescue the person first."
"Well, young master, please sit still, I will take you there now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Huang had already taken Jiang Xuan to the other side of the hanging river.
And Jiang Xuan also saw the Shenxiao disciple in the sky surrounded by hundreds of ghosts on the edge of the hanging river.
"Well, young master, these ghosts are not very good. The strongest ones are at the Daoji level."
"It seems there are too many."
Jiang Xuan nodded when he heard this.
"The number is indeed quite large. I don't know where there are so many ghosts in this place."
"In addition, there are those children who also take up a lot of his energy."
"Then young master, shall we go down now?"
"Let me try my methods first."
After saying this, Jiang Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed.
The next moment, more than a hundred thick or thin red lightnings fell from the sky, hitting Baigui directly.
The moment the thunder fell, the hundred ghosts with claws and fangs were chopped into blue smoke and disappeared into the world.
And Jiang Xuan's mana and energy were also consumed by 90%.
"Tsk, the "Taixiao Divine Thunder" is really designed to destroy souls, and it is also very effective when used to fight ghosts."
"But it takes too much effort to return to strength."
"One Taoist level fierce ghost, 36 Xiantian level fierce ghosts, and more than 80 evil ghosts equivalent to the Taoist realm, which almost made me lose the ability to fight anymore."
"I used too much force before, I can save some mana."
"I still suffered the disadvantage of less actual combat."
Jiang Xuan stood in deep thought in the sky. The monk from Shenxiao in purple robes underground saw a burst of red light and all the ghosts turned into ashes. He immediately started to raise his head and look around, and then his eyes fell on Ah in mid-air.
Yellow body.
Although he couldn't see anyone, he believed that the senior who saved him was up there.
So he held the yin and yang in his hands and bowed respectfully in the direction of Jiang Xuan:
"Disciple Li Zhenzhen, thank you Master for your help."
Seeing that Li Zhenzhen had no intention of getting up, Ah Huang couldn't help but said, "Sir, shall we go down?"
After Ah Huang called him back to his senses, Jiang Xuan nodded immediately:
"Go down."
After Ah Huang fell to the ground, he turned into a little tiger, while Jiang Xuan reached out and lifted Li Zhenzhen up out of thin air:
"Senior Zhenzi, are you the fifty-seventh generation disciple?"
When Li Zhenzhen stood up and saw Jiang Xuan's extremely young appearance, he was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a while before replying:
"Returning to my ancestor, my disciple's original name was Li Qiuzhen. He was a disciple of the fifty-seventh generation after becoming his disciple Shenxiao. His family teacher was Yang Quanzhong, a disciple of the fifty-sixth generation."
Jiang Xuan smiled secretly when he saw him like this, and then said:
"You poor Taoist Jiang Daoxuan, you won't suffer any loss if you call me Master."
Looking at Li Zhenzhen, whose tangled expression faded and he exhaled, Jiang Xuan shook his head and asked:
"What happened just now? Why were you surrounded by hundreds of ghosts? And what happened to these children?"
"With the Shenxiao Thunder Talisman in hand, how could he be surrounded by innate and Taoist ghosts?"
Hearing Jiang Xuan's question, Li Zhenzhen, who had just taken a breath, suddenly became anxious:
"Master, please take action to save the families of these children."
Looking at Li Zhenzhen with an anxious expression, Jiang Xuan casually took out the Zhang Yang Talisman and patted him on the head:
"What's the rush? Let's explain the whole story clearly first."
After being calmed by the God-nurturing Talisman, Li Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, and then told the whole story one by one:
"I just entered the Xiantian realm three months ago, so I came up with the idea of traveling down the mountain."
"My master gave me two mana-level divine thunder talismans to protect me, but I have used up the thunder talismans during my travels."
"As for the hundred ghosts just now, they are ghosts controlled by the mayor of Yujiang Town, Linjiang County, Beihe Prefecture, and these children are what he plans to use as blood food for the ghosts."
"I happened to come across him performing a blood sacrifice, so I snatched these children away."
"Now that Master, you have killed hundreds of ghosts, the mayor of Yujiang Town may go crazy. What if he goes crazy and turns the entire town into ghosts?"
After listening to Li Zhenzhen's words, Jiang Xuan immediately looked at Ah Huang.
"Young Master, you don't have to say anything, I understand."
After saying something before Jiang Xuan, the enlarged Ah Huang flew into the air with Jiang Xuan, Li Zhenzhen and the frightened children.
"To the north, Yujiang Town is about twenty miles north."
As soon as they were in the air, Li Zhenzhen pointed at the small town to the north and said.
Ah Huang didn't need Jiang Xuan's command. After Li Zhenzhen's words fell, he took advantage of the wind and flew towards the north.
Arriving above Yujiang Town in an instant, Ah Huang flew around Yujiang Town and said:
"Sir, the evil cultivator has probably run away. I don't feel any evil energy."
Jiang Xuan looked up at the stars and counted them with his fingers, then pointed to the west.
"Chase."
After receiving the order, Ah Huang did not hesitate and ran straight in the direction pointed by Jiang Xuan.
"Stop, go back, you are flying too fast."
Ah Huang swung his tail when he heard this, and then hurried back at one-tenth the speed just now.
"Stop, right here."
Looking at the gloomy forest below, Jiang Xuan set his sights on Li Zhenzhen:
"What's down there?"
Li Zhenzhen glanced down and replied, "It's a mass grave."
"Beihe Prefecture is quite chaotic. Strangers often fall on the roadside."
"At first, there were kind-hearted people who took care of their funeral arrangements. Later, after seeing a lot of people, they became numb. When they saw someone lying on the roadside, they dragged them to this place and buried them."
"This place is the junction of the three towns of Yujiang, Yuwei, and Yulin. Ever since the first corpse was buried, it has become a mass grave common to the three towns."
While listening to Li Zhenzhen's story, Jiang Xuan used his pupil technique to look at the mass grave, and then frowned deeply.
There are no less than three hundred evil spirits in the mass grave, and they are simply small ghosts.
In addition to ghosts, there are also two spiritual lights belonging to humans.
One of them was entangled with resentment, and the aura of humanity was dyed yellow-brown by the resentment.
The other one is as pure as a newborn baby, with a lot of evil aura surrounding it.
It's just that those evil spirits are more like protecting him than trying to harm him.
"Sir, shall we go down?"
Jiang Xuan shook his head:
"What are you going down for?"
"There's no one down there who needs our rescue, but there are more than three hundred evil spirits. Although we haven't found any ghost generals with the strength of the Magic Realm, there are quite a few fierce ghosts with the strength of the Daoji Realm."
"And look at this place, it has turned into half a ghost. Who knows if there will be an evil spirit suddenly breaking through?"
"Just in case, let's wait until my uncle comes."
"It's good to know how to advance and retreat."
As soon as Jiang Xuan finished speaking, his fifth uncle Yang Shoutian appeared on Ah Huang's back.
Yang Shoutian was about to say something after he appeared, but when his eyes fell on Jiang Xuan, he suddenly stopped moving. He was stunned for a long time before saying with some disbelief, "Have you entered the Taoist Xiantian realm?"
Seeing his uncle's incredible look, Jiang Xuan smiled shyly:
"I entered Gucun two days ago, and then I got some opportunities. With good luck, I just entered the Xiantian realm today."
Seeing Jiang Xuan's appearance, Yang Shoutian opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after carefully feeling Jiang Xuan's breath, his eyes widened even more:
"Have you taken a pulse?"
Jiang Xuan nodded:
"After entering the Xiantian realm, I felt that the speed of accumulation of true energy was too slow, so I used my true energy to break open the Dantian barrier and built a meridian connecting the heaven and earth on the barrier."
"Furthermore, the disciple discovered that the true energy of Tai Chi has the ability to destroy all kinds of energy and turn it into spiritual energy, so he built a Yin-Yang mill in the meridians to eliminate the alien energy."
"After everything was done, I found that the speed of Qi improvement was much faster than what was described in the classics. Various exotic Qi will not even affect me, and will become the foundation for my growth."
Yang Shoutian looked at Jiang Xuan and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, okay!"
"Junior brother has indeed taken on a good disciple. I can't help but want to take on a disciple after seeing him."
Hearing Yang Shoutian's words, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but smile, "Fifth Senior Uncle, if you want to accept a disciple, you might have a chance today."
When Yang Shoutian heard this, he glanced at the dolls huddled together on Ah Huang's back:
"I won't accept anyone with poor qualifications. I don't want to teach disciples every day."
"I don't want it if I have a bad character."
"The qualifications should be the same, but the character of the person is unknown."
After replying, Jiang Xuan patted Ah Huang.
Then Ah Huang very wisely landed outside the mass grave and turned into a little tiger again.
After landing, Jiang Xuan first turned around and looked at Li Zhenzhen:
"You guard these children outside the mass graves, and let us deal with the evil cultivators inside."
Li Zhenzhen bowed respectfully after hearing this, "Disciple understands."
Seeing this, Jiang Xuan nodded and looked at the mass grave, then swung a bolt of lightning to kill a vicious ghost equivalent to the Taoist realm.
But what surprised him was that after he killed the evil spirit, other evil spirits did not rush forward, but retreated deep into the mass grave.
"Ghosts are not barbaric, nor stupid."
While thinking, Yang Shoutian's words reached Jiang Xuan's ears:
"It is the nature of all spirits to seek good fortune and avoid evil. Ghosts can also be called ghost spirits. When they realize that there is danger and there are not enough benefits, they will naturally retreat."
Yang Shoutian opened his mouth to explain, and then pointed at the mass grave with one hand.
The next moment, hundreds of golden sword shadows flashing with thunder appeared from behind him. The sword tips trembled and they all aimed at their targets, as if they would burst out of the air in the next moment.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Xuan hurriedly said:
"Uncle Master, don't deal with the twenty or so evil spirits gathered together in the southwest for now."
Yang Shoutian nodded when he heard this, and then moved his fingers behind his back to tremble slightly.
The next moment, sword energy started raining down over the mass graves.
The evil spirit was swept away by the power of thunder contained in the sword shadow, and the evil spirits of those ghosts also dissipated under the sword shadow.
If it weren't for the trees that had grown so ferocious under the gloomy air, this place wouldn't really look spooky at all.
"Hey~"
Following the evil spirit, the evil spirit was cleared away, and two more sword figures came to several people holding a black-robed monk with a face as pale as paper.
"Wow~~"
As soon as they saw the black-robed monk, the little guys who were trembling at first burst into tears.
Seeing this, Li Zhenzhen hurriedly comforted the group of little carrot heads, and then trotted to the side of Jiang Xuan:
"Master, he is Kou Jian, the mayor of Yujiang Town."
"Pooh."
Kou Jian, who had just come back to his senses, immediately spat on the ground when he saw Jiang Xuan and the others, "Smelly Taoist priest, if you can, just light my sky lantern."
Yang Shoutian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said in astonishment:
"I have been practicing Taoism for so many years, but this is the first time I have heard a request like yours."
"But since you said so, I can only satisfy you."
After saying that, he took out a blue sky-colored oil lamp from his storage equipment and looked at Kou Jian who looked frightened:
"Don't be afraid. If the evil you do is within the acceptable range of Pindao, Pindao won't burn you for long."
"Of course, if you do evil things that even a poor Taoist can't stand, then prepare to be beaten to death."
"Master Dao, I admit that what I said just now was a bit harsh, but knowing your mistakes can greatly improve things, so please give me a break."
"You know you're wrong? It's too late?"
Yang Shoutian glanced at the incontinent Kou Jian with disgust, and then reached out to grab him.
The next moment, a pitch-black soul fell into his hands.
Seeing the dark soul kneeling in the palm of his hand and kowtowing to himself, Yang Shoutian sighed and shook his head:
"You've done such evil things, your soul has been blackened. You must have lighted the sky lantern and been lit until you were out of your wits."
"To be honest, I still like your tough talk just now."
With that said, Yang Shoutian threw Kou Jian's soul into the sky lantern.
The next moment, the candle flames in the sky lanterns burned brightly, as if the temperatureless blue candle flames burned into the dark soul, causing the soul to let out heart-rending screams one after another.
At the moment when the screams started to sound, a picture appeared in the candlelight.
Cramping, peeling off skin, taking people to make elixirs, and sacrificing living people to ghosts.
Seeing this scene, Yang Shoutian's face became darker and darker. Finally, he couldn't help but wave his sleeves, turning the blue candlelight in the sky lantern into blood red.
"If you do evil by God, you can still forgive it; if you do evil by yourself, you will not live."
"Enjoy the sins you have committed in this world."
After saying this, Yang Shoutian put away the sky lantern with a wave of his sleeves, then looked at Jiang Xuandao:
"Do you think your uncle is too cruel?"
Jiang Xuan shook his head, "Not really."
"As far as I know, sky lanterns have two sides."
"If you did good deeds during your lifetime, your soul will not be harmed after being lit by a sky lantern. Instead, it will absorb the breath of the lantern and make your soul stronger."
"If they did evil during their lifetime, the sky lantern will only make them bear the evil deeds they committed during their lifetime."
"What you do in life will be what you do after death. Sky lanterns are the most fair."
"That's good to think about."
Yang Shoutian nodded to Jiang Xuan and then said:
"If the current situation didn't allow it, I would have put the sky lanterns in the market to show the evil cultivators the consequences of their evil deeds."
Hearing what Yang Shoutian said, Jiang Xuan's heart moved, and then he nodded in agreement:
"I think this idea is feasible."
"The day comes when we need some torture to warn the world."
"Although evil methods have serious sequelae, their efforts are also extremely rapid. There are bound to be people who try them just to take shortcuts."
"Shocking is necessary."
The two people here were chatting about various criminal laws, and Li Zhenzhen on the side was sweating profusely:
"Master, should we send these little guys back first?"
"As far as I know, their family members are still alive. The evil cultivator secretly abducted these children in order to prevent his identity from being exposed."
After stopping the conversation and looking at his fifth uncle, Jiang Xuan waved to the little tiger after seeing that he gave him a "just decide" expression.
"Ah Huang, take them back to Yujiang Town, send them home and then come back with Li Zhenzhen."
"Okay, young master."
Ah Huang responded and was about to get louder when Li Zhenzhen suddenly spoke:
"Master, I won't be coming back later. I want to guard the Taoist temple in Yujiang Town."
Hearing Li Zhenzhen's words, Jiang Xuan and Yang Shoutian looked at each other, and then Yang Shoutian asked:
"you sure?"
Li Zhenzhen nodded seriously:
"Disciples go down the mountain to travel and to practice."
"After coming down from the mountain, I have traveled to many places and found that most of the places have empty rooms, a few places have turned into ghosts, and a few places have a happy life, and every house is open at night."
"Now that I have arrived in Yujiang Town and met these little guys, I feel that I have a destiny with these little guys."
Having said this, Li Zhenzhen reached out and touched the child next to him with a runny nose and red eyes:
"The Taoist temple guard in Yujiang Town was secretly killed by this evil cultivator. It is not possible for such a big town to have no one to guard it, so the disciple wants to stay."
"Cultivation on the mountain is spiritual practice, traveling down the mountain is spiritual practice, and guarding Taoist temples is also spiritual practice. I will not give up my spiritual practice and ask my master for permission."
Looking at Li Zhenzhen who was bending over, a hint of appreciation flashed in Yang Shoutian's eyes:
"good."
"There is no place in the world that does not practice cultivation. It is good to understand this, and it is even better to be willing to join the world to protect others."
After saying that, Yang Shoutian walked up to Li Zhenzhen and reached out to caress him:
"Since you take the initiative to guard Yujiang Town, then I have no reason to disagree."
"But remember to say hello to the mountain gate and ask them to confirm your role as the Taoist temple host."
After saying this, Yang Shoutian took out a stack of talismans from the storage space:
"The Shenxiao sect doesn't have much else, it just has a lot of thunder talismans. If you encounter evil spirits that you can't defeat, just use the talisman."
"The thunder talisman is of no use, so just use the bottom transmission note to communicate with me. No matter where you are in the world, Pindao will come over to help me."
As he spoke, he patted Li Zhenzhen on the shoulder again:
"Even if you don't catch up, Pindao will collect your body to take revenge."
Hearing the words of his fifth uncle, Jiang Xuan smiled helplessly:
"If you can't fight, run away. Only by saving your life can you protect more people in the future."
After saying that, he also took a storage ring and handed it to Li Zhenzhen.
The storage ring was taken from Zhang San's hand. It was useless to keep, so I simply gave it away.
"Thank you, Patriarch, for the treasure."
Li Zhenzhen was not polite to Jiang Xuan and the others, just like Jiang Xuan was not polite to his elders. He directly accepted the things they handed him.
Seeing this, Jiang Xuan waved to the little tiger:
"Send them to the Taoist Temple in Yujiang Town and come back when they get there."
"Okay, young master."
The little tiger responded, and then flew directly towards Yujiang Town with Li Zhenzhen and others.
After a few people left, Yang Shoutian turned his attention to Jiang Xuan:
"Didn't you say that I can accept a disciple today?"
"Where is my apprentice?"
Jiang Xuan turned to look at the mass grave:
"Fifth uncle, didn't you say you didn't want to take on a disciple before? Why did you become interested today?"
"As for that man, I don't know if you are willing to accept him as your apprentice, but he is already here."
