Before I knew it, another month and a half had passed. During this period, Liu Qiao had been refining talisman paper, ink brushes and the like at the Golden Summit.
The altar was opened and a mantra was set up, and for forty-nine days, homemade bamboo pulp paper, cinnabar, and brushes were sacrificed to the spirit for later use.
"According to the divination, the demon's energy has been slightly declining in the past few days. It is really a God-given opportunity. All the spells, pens and inks have been channeled. It's just waiting for today..."
The so-called decline of Qi basically means that all practitioners and Qi refiners will have such a few days of low Qi every once in a while, which is not uncommon.
Probably because the immortals, saints and demons, once the magic elixir is completed, all ghosts and gods will be frightened, they will live forever, and are jealous of all living things, so they will face disasters at every step and disasters everywhere.
A wise man will evade in advance, or close the cave door tightly, or chant quietly in the Huangting. In short, he is walking on thin ice, and be careful to avoid being plotted by the enemy.
As for those with low moral standards, many of them will be unlucky for a few days inexplicably, and may even be plotted and killed. In short, if the luck is not good, there is still a great risk of death.
Of course, a disciple of a great sect like Liu Qiao would not be so unlucky under normal circumstances because he has the blessing of his ancestor and the supreme treasure that always suppresses the sect's spirit.
Liu Qiao put the sword on his back and the talisman bag, offered incense to the Patriarch, and prayed: "The Patriarch of the Yuan Dynasty bless me, may this disciple go smoothly on this trip to subdue demons..."
When it comes to the magic of divine passage, he actually has no certainty of victory. He can only say that he cannot defeat the Five Elements of Taoism, so there should be no risk of escaping.
During this period, divination was done every day, and it was calculated that the demons were guilty of star evil in the past few days, and their momentum was at a low level, so they planned to pre-select a place and set up a formation to see if they could lure the demons into the urn.
After coming out of the cave, he sprinkled the sand and activated the magic spell, instantly flying dozens of feet into the air. Liu Qiao slowed down his flight and flew all the way to Nanshan.
While observing the ground, he used Qimen Kanyu's technique to find a suitable terrain.
Fortunately, Jinshi Mountain is vast, with valleys, valleys, thuja, pine streams, and various terrains. It didn’t take long for me to find a suitable place.
Liu Qiao came down to escape the light and saw a peach forest, only ten miles away from the demon cave. He couldn't help but nodded and said: "This place is just right. If it's too far away, the demons won't be fooled. If it's too close, it's easy to be noticed. The peach trees ward off evil spirits and are perfect for writing talismans."
…”
After saying this, he mixed the wine with cinnabar, made the incantation with one hand, and held the pen with the other hand. While chanting the incantation, he drew the talisman on the peach tree.
After a while, everything was ready. Twelve thick peach trees were selected, divided into twelve directions, and several talismans were written on each.
Arranged according to the twelve yuan chen, corresponding to the stars in the sky, there is about twenty or thirty feet of open space in the center, which is where the formation is.
At this time, the formation has been completed, and the interior has become foggy, but the miasma of rotten peach has gathered, calling it a evil spirit, which is good at bewitching the five senses of gods, closing the five apertures of gods and humans, and bewitching the minds of immortals.
"I still have to give it a try, lest it fail to be effective when used properly and cause me serious trouble..."
After thinking for a moment, he used his escape skills and caught a few deer deer and wild hogs in the forest.
Use the escape technique in the air and throw these animals into the formation.
There was no dull color, nor the auspicious glow of the rays. The lively animals fell behind the formation, and they just screamed "hum hum chi chi" a few times, then crawled to the ground on all fours, trembling, and stopped moving.
However, it was the magic formation that borrowed the terrain below, the stars above, and the power of heaven and earth to press down, creating layers of miasma and evil spirits in the formation, which captivated the minds of these animals.
"Good, this Yuan Chen Divine Evil Formation has been verified to be correct. Now we just need to lure the demon into the formation..."
Liu Qiao twisted the soil and sprinkled it, using the Earth Escape Technique, and soon he flew to the rocky cliff of Nanshan Mountain again.
All you can see are large and small, full of dangerous caves, mountains, ravines, and roaring springs.
The high ones are mountains, the handsome ones are ridges, the steep ones are cliffs, the deep ones are ravines, the loud ones are springs, and the quiet ones are streams.
In front of the mountain, there are white clouds and strange rocks. Behind the cliff, there is a winding hidden dragon cave with tinkling water rocks in the cave.
There are thousands of large and small caves, the small ones are two or three feet wide, and the large ones are four or five feet round. When the wind blows, they make a whining sound like a wind tunnel, bringing with them bursts of fishy stench.
"It's really steep and steep, and the heaven and earth are so beautiful. It's a pity that it's now a monster cave, and the mountain is full of blood..."
Liu Qiao secretly praised in his heart. He didn't know which cave the monster was hiding in. He thought for a moment and didn't bother to look for it one by one. He directly shouted loudly: "You monster, come out quickly. I am out of seclusion today. Do you dare to come out and make gestures?"
…”
Liu Qiao yelled three times in a row. Regardless of the obscenities, he cursed loudly, and his voice was clear and resounded for more than ten miles around.
"Whistle...whistle, chi...chi..."
After a while, there was movement in the cliff. In one of the caves, there was a roar of wind, and a cage of black mist floated out. About tens of feet of black smoke flew out and instantly rose into the air.
I saw a line of black smoke dozens of feet long and as thick as a bucket, hovering in the clouds. Two eyes in the black mist, like lanterns, shined several feet of light.
"You're such a bad Taoist. It's weird that you dare to come to me when a certain family didn't come to you. Why, could it be that the dog is tired of sitting in the hole and wants to get into my belly?"
The demon in the cloud opened its mouth and buzzed so loudly that it echoed for dozens of miles, making jackals, insects, tigers and leopards all over the mountain tremble in fear.
"Hahaha... stop talking nonsense, Taoist Master is here to bring bad luck to you today, look at the sword..."
Not to be outdone, Liu Qiao shouted loudly, raised his escape light, held his sword in his hand, shined a light on the black air, and struck him in the face.
"Hey...when did you attain enlightenment and develop magic power?"
When the demon saw Liu Qiao flying up and killing him with his sword, he couldn't help but uttered a sound of surprise and hurriedly used his iron spear to block him.
"Zheng... jingle, jingle, jingle..."
There was a loud sound of gold and iron clashing in the cloud. Within a few dozen rounds, Liu Qiao stabbed the demon with several swords, but they were all blocked by his armor. The demon laughed loudly and said: "What a shameless way, don't leave today, we are going to fight."
, just have a good fight..."
"Hmph, you devil, I'm not good at fighting in the air. Do you dare to follow me to the ground to fight..."
The flying light is indeed different from the cloud head. Although the flying light is fast, it is not easy to control. It is not as stable as the cloud and mist, and it can be flexible and subtle.
The demon laughed proudly and said: "Haha... If you don't dare, you go first, I will be there soon..."
Liu Qiao whistled and turned his light to fly towards the peach forest. The demon also raised black smoke and caught up with him fiercely. The two of them almost fell into the peach forest one after the other.
However, when Liu Qiao saw him flying into the forest, he changed his technique and made the wood escape. He suddenly flashed into the forest and hid himself in the wood, without any trace or breath leaking out.
"Eh... I obviously saw the traitor falling here, but why did he disappear..."
The Five Elements Taoism is so brilliant. It is a wonderful art of stealth and hiding, and the magic of hiding from objects. The demon is a wild man who has learned and learned by himself. How can he find Liu Qiao's figure?
The demon has long been predicted by Liu Qiao's divination, and the spiritual platform has been deceived recently. If it were normal, the suspicion would have slipped away early in the morning.
Liu Qiao was beaten passively in the past, but how dare he come to the door today, when did he develop his magic power, and why did he disappear? As long as he is a little more vigilant, he can find the problem.
It is also due to this demon's temperament that he has been practicing for hundreds of years and his Taoism is many times that of Liu Qiao, but he was careless and did not consider it carefully.
The demon was just confused for a moment, then lowered its head and tried to search in the forest.
"This is...not good, I fell into someone's trap..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the clouds fell, I felt the sky and the earth changing. The blue sky, white clouds, and the shade of the peach trees all disappeared. There was a mist all around, but it happened to fall into the formation.
At this moment, Liu Qiao's figure flashed out from behind an old peach tree.
It turned out that he had been standing at the foot of the tree, covered by the shade of the tree, and he was so focused that even a mortal passing by would ignore his figure and just regard him as the tree root.
"Hiss...how did you become...so tall..."
"Could it be that there is a magical power that can control the heavens and the earth? It's impossible, it's absolutely impossible..."
But the formation is mysterious. From outside the formation, Liu Qiao is only about seven feet tall, but in the eyes of the demons in the formation, he looks like:
There was a haze all around, with no distinction between pure and turbid, as if chaos had not yet opened up.
Suddenly, a man appeared. He was ten thousand feet tall, with shoulders as tall as Mount Tai. The clouds covered the top and the mist shrouded the sky. He could vaguely see the sun and moon, but he had a pair of eyes, and the gate of Tianfu City had lips and teeth.
The two widths of the Taoist robe are like a canopy from the sky. He raises his hands to hold up a piece of green air, as if he is holding up the sky. He stamps his feet, making a deafening "bang" sound, and the turbid air spreads across the soles of his feet, as if he is stepping on eighteen layers of netherworld. territory.
This appearance frightened the demon to the point where he doubted the existence of demons and fell to the ground.
The monster was so frightened that it showed its innocence like those snakes, insects, rats and ants, and simply dug its head into the ground, almost sticking its buttocks out and shivering.
Suddenly, the giant giant spoke, like thunder on a sunny day, resounding throughout the universe and making the stars sway, and said: "That devil, raise your head and see who I am..."
"Great...Great God, please forgive me..."
The demon raised his head tremblingly, in disbelief, and pinched himself. The pain came over him, and he believed that it was not a dream. It still had the same ferocious appearance as before, and was no different from ordinary people.
"Great Immortals, all small things are short-sighted. The small ones deserve to die. Please have mercy on me for the years I have endured. It is not easy to practice the Tao. Please save my life..."
Outside the formation, Liu Qiao saw the demon slumped on the ground with his eyes closed and trembling. He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. He snorted coldly: "Humph... you rely on cannibalism to practice magic and take shortcuts to extend your life. Why do you say that practice is not easy? But you can’t fool me…”
"The Great Immortal clearly observed that before I attained Taoism, a litter of twenty-two brothers and sisters, including their parents, were eaten by mortals. Fortunately, I have mastered Taoism over time and can eat mortals to extend my life... This... What's wrong with this? Well, please ask the Great Immortal to judge..."
"As soon as those who were born into my flesh and blood body were eaten by humans, I also ate humans to increase my life span. This was not a rash act by some little demon, but was actually done in accordance with the laws of heaven and in accordance with the principles of heaven..."
Liu Qiao thought for a moment and was noncommittal. For modern people, human beings are the boss of heaven and earth. No matter what your reasons are, cannibalism is wrong anyway and deserves to be damned. He shouted:
"Shut up and stop making excuses. According to your crime, you will be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts. As a mercy, Master Dao, you can kill yourself now and keep your whole body..."
In fact, Liu Qiao really has no way to deal with this demon now, but it is just a bluff. The formation can only temporarily blind the demon's mind by pretending to have the power of heaven, earth and stars.
Moreover, the formation does not distinguish between friend and foe. If Liu Qiao entered the formation with a sword to kill a demon, he would be blinded and confused by the formation. Maybe one person and one demon would tremble in the formation, worshiping each other and surrendering to each other. That would be funny. .
"Immortal, as long as the immortal touches my life, I am willing to worship the immortal as my teacher. From now on, I will follow the rules and regulations, and I will never dare to do anything wrong again..."
"Please take pity on me that it is not easy for me to practice the Tao. Please spare my life. I... I am willing to lead the horse to the immortal leader, put the saddle on the front and back of the horse, and tie a grass ring with a ring in the mouth to repay the kindness..."
As he spoke, the demon kowtowed to the ground, trembling and begging for mercy.
