The escaping light travels through Qingming, and in a moment, it reaches the riverside where the turtle dragon caused trouble last time. The vast river is filled with mist, but the figure of the turtle dragon is nowhere to be seen.
After looking around for a moment, I felt a faint evil spirit floating in the shade of the trees by the river.
"It's weird. It's a clear day and it's daytime. How can a goblin be so bold? Let's take it first!" Liu Qiao was surprised.
Generally speaking, fairies, regardless of whether they are good or evil, rarely come out to cause mischief on a sunny day.
Coming out during the day is like holding a lantern in the dark, shining brightly.
Unless you have strong confidence in your abilities.
Thinking of this, Liu Qiao was a little cautious and secretly made an avatar.
With a little inspiration, he transformed into an old Taoist, wearing blue clothes and a jade crown, a horse face and a long beard, with white beard and hair, shaking the dust in his hand, and showing the spirit of an immortal.
As soon as it was thrown from the clouds, this incarnation was as light as nothing, floating and falling on the riverside.
Liu Qiao himself used Shui Wenjue, which is the general outline of water escape. He used the water vapor in the river to cover his body shape and breath, and followed not far behind the incarnation.
"Nine heavens embrace the moon, and nine places travel...three mountains and five mountains...relieve thousands of sorrows..." Incarnate like a wandering Taoist, beating fish drums, singing Taoist songs, and walking along the riverside trees.
It was noon now, the sun was blazing in the sky, and except for a few sand boats in the river, there was no one on both sides of the river.
Incarnate, he walked to the shade of the riverside, pretending to enjoy the cool air, and leaned against the big willow tree to rest and fan himself.
It was only a few feet away from the demonic aura.
"Why don't you see me coming out... Could it be that you are afraid that I am a Taoist?" Hua body muttered.
Liu Qiao also regretted a little. He knew earlier that he should have turned into a boy.
Now that things have come to a point, I can only make mistakes and let my mind move, and my body will be transformed into a living being.
He stood up, looked at the dark river under the shade of the trees, and shouted: "Monster, the old Taoist is here and he hasn't shown up yet!"
The river water "popped!" and a ball of water exploded, as if a big stone had been thrown into the water.
A black shadow, like a millstone, made splashes of water ten feet high come out.
The monster jumped sideways and went to the shore. Seeing the old Taoist immortal Feng Daogu, he bowed his head and said, "Old immortal, you are so polite here!"
It was only then that I saw the strange figure clearly. It was a crab the size of a millstone, with its two front legs held together as if a person were paying homage.
From his appearance, he is just a spirit, not a monster.
The incarnation shouted and asked: "What's your name, you weirdo? Why do you come out to cause mischief on a sunny day?"
"Young little henchman, I wonder where the old immortal came from and where he is going?" The crab spirit was not afraid and asked without answering.
There is also a saying for this type of title: whenever a spirit becomes a spirit and causes mischief, a tiger is called a king or a concubine, a black fish is called a general, a clam is called a lady, a fox is called an aunt or a young lady, etc.
And this crab is often called a Jie Shi. This monster walks sideways, so it is called a Jie Shi. It fits the situation.
The tiger that he killed earlier had a mysterious spirit, but Liu Qiao actually misnamed it because he didn't understand it.
In fact, people call them Shenyou Virtues, Tiger Spirits who practice Taoism and become Buddhas are often called Virtues, those with lower magic power are often called Tigers, etc.
"Pindao came from the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions and wanted to go to the east to meet Lord Shang..." the incarnation said nonsensically.
"I wonder if the old immortal can subjugate demons?" Hengxing Jie asked in a buzzing voice.
"Haha, the old Taoist has learned martial arts skills from the snowy mountains of the west. Even if he is a thousand-year-old monster and a ten-year-old spirit, he must surrender obediently when he meets me..." The incarnation continued to talk nonsense.
"That's good. We have an old monster here. I wonder if the old immortal dares to slay him!" said Hengxing Jieshi.
The incarnation looked at it and said quietly: "You are an old crab, you are also a monster, I have to surrender you first..."
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I am the water god granted by the Heavenly Palace, not a monster. The old god must not hit a good person by mistake!" The unruly monk was so frightened that he quickly backed away and waved his hands.
After saying this, fearing that the incarnation would not believe it, he spit out a golden seal from his mouth, which was about the size of a fist and seemed to be made of pure gold, with a red calligraphy talisman on it, which was filled with light and energy.
The incarnation took a closer look, and sure enough, the gold seal was written to the Yangtze River Water Mansion, and the talisman was written to the General of Zhenshui Fubo, from the seventh rank.
Liu Qiao, who was hiding in the dark, looked at the seal and knew it was real.
The aura revealed on this talisman is the same as the aura of the golden-armored god who subdued the demon last time and was rewarded with Taiyi Pill and other treasures in the lower world.
Different from the Tao Qi of the Immortal Family, this kind of breath is called incense and divine power, so when you see it and it feels familiar, you know that the talisman is real.
But I still have some doubts. General Fubo, with his humble position and powerful command, commanding tens of thousands of sailors in the rivers, how...how could he be such a "thing"?
No matter how short of people the heaven is, it is not necessary to recruit a monster with low magic power to be the "general"!
With doubts in his heart, he turned into an avatar and shouted: "You crab spirit, where did you steal this golden seal talisman, get it from the truth!"
"It's not stealing, it's not stealing!" Crab Jing said, looked around, and then whispered: "This is not the place to talk, the old god will follow the younger one..."
After that, he jumped into the river, split the water waves with the help of the golden seal talisman, waved his tongs under the water, and signaled the avatar to follow quickly.
"It's good to go and have a look. The turtle dragon hasn't come out to cause trouble today. The river is vast and it's hard to find. Let's ask about this crab spirit..." Liu Qiao thought to himself.
But he still hid his true body, only used his avatar to jump into the water, and followed the crab spirit away.
However, since the last time I touched the corpse in Gaizhu Mountain, I was caught red-handed and almost suffered a loss. Now, although I have developed great magical powers, I am becoming more careful.
When it enters the water, the crab spirit gnashes its teeth and spits out a circle of bubbles, which grow bigger in an instant and wrap the incarnation in the bubbles.
The incarnation didn't resist, and after careful sensing, I knew it was a water-avoiding technique.
The transparent bubbles push away the surrounding water flow, allowing the creatures on the shore to breathe and speak freely in the water.
The crab spirit did not dare to walk into the river, but carefully led the incarnation, walked close to the river for seven or eight feet, pointed to a three-foot-wide grotto, and motioned for the incarnation to go in.
Incarnate and observed the cave, hesitating slightly.
Seeing this, Crab Spirit explained: "This is General Fubo's Mansion, old god please come!"
When the incarnation took a look, in front of the cave, there was indeed a stone slab about a foot high with a few words crookedly written on it: "The Divine Residence of General Suppressing Demons"
I couldn't help but praise: "Your handwriting is so good!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Crab Spirit showed an embarrassed smile and said: "Over-praised, over-praised, although the word is ugly, it is a real miracle. It is not like those lake owners who are extremely luxurious and beautiful, but they are fake.
The saint is actually a demon..."
Without saying much, he transformed into a body about the size of a foot and easily slipped into the Crab Spirit's cave.
"My dear, my good deeds can change in size, and I have the power to conquer demons. I can see the mercy of God. I have finally found a true immortal. My miserable days are coming to an end..." Crab Spirit said with great joy when he saw this wonderful skill.
The actual incarnation is transformed by spiritual light, and its appearance is nothing more than a shadow and has no entity, so it can change naturally at will.
In the outside world, Liu Qiao's true form flew out of the water mist with his escaping light, and said in a deep voice: "The troops are divided into two groups. I will incarnate and ask this crab spirit for news about Tianwu. I will go along the river to search for traces of the turtle dragon..."
After saying this, a ray of light disappeared in the blink of an eye.
That little crab spirit has just opened up its spiritual power and has meager magic power. It is estimated that it cannot defeat a few strong men. It has no vitality and it is useless to capture and kill him.
Besides, it also has the Tiangong talisman. Although Liu Qiao probably picked it up somewhere or stole it, since Tiangong acquiesced, it would be difficult to take action.
If you want to capture the monster, you have to turn to the turtle dragon. It crossed the river and committed mischief. Not only did it enjoy Tianwu's tribute, but it also capsized ships and ate alive people.
Those like this are the ones who deserve to be killed.
I followed the escape technique all the way up the river. After a short time, after passing hundreds of miles, the two sides of the river changed from plains to hills, and from hills to continuous mountains.
The water flow has become more and more rapid, and the riverside has become steep cliffs. It has reached the territory of Yizhou and Kui Gorge.
But along the way, there was no trace of evil spirits, boats were flying in the river, and everything was calm.
"It's strange. Could it be that everyone knows that I have practiced Dafa and no one dares to cause trouble? It's really unreasonable..." Liu Qiao was quite speechless.
"Even if it's not weird, I think it's rare to see something as blatant as the turtle dragon. Or maybe Tian Wu is still alive..."
Liu Qiao was suspicious for a moment and sighed: "That's all. It's fitting that I have nowhere to use my magical powers, so I'd better go back to Jinshi Mountain as soon as possible..."
If that's the case, maybe it's best to put the medicine on the shelf and let it become ashes, rather than have people get sick in the world.
…
Downstream by the river is the residence of General Fubo.
In the small cave, the avatar and the crab spirit were sitting opposite each other and talking.
"I was outside just now, so I can't go into details because I'm afraid there are demons out there..." Crab Spirit smiled apologetically.
Then he said: "Does the old immortal know the Great Sage Tianwu?"
Seeing the incarnation nodding, Crab Jing continued to preach: "The Great Sage Tianwu was summoned by the Heavenly Palace and was appointed as the Lord of the Yangtze River for eight thousand miles. From here to the sea, the Great Sage Tianwu is in charge."
"My talisman and golden seal were picked up from Tianwu Mansion..." Crab Spirit said rather embarrassedly.
The incarnation was not surprised, but asked in surprise: "With your way of doing things, how could you be in Wu Mansion today! Could it be..."
"Yes, a hundred years ago, Tian Wu passed away in silence..." Crab Spirit affirmed.
Hua body and mind sighed: "As expected, over the course of many lifetimes, the Shinto has changed and changed the tripod, and Tianwu has also disappeared..."
"I had not yet awakened my spirit at that time. I was just wandering outside Tianwu Mansion, catching fish and shrimps. Suddenly, countless fairies gathered, broke down the gate of Tianwu Mansion, and fought for treasures..."
"However, those treasures were scattered in all directions, attracting countless demons and demons to fight for them..."
"I'm still ignorant. A piece of golden light flew into my arms. I felt it was very important, so I simply hid in the mud to avoid those fairies..." Crab Spirit told the origin of the golden talisman.
The incarnation praised: "You have such a good opportunity, and you are also a person with deep roots. No wonder the Lord of the Golden Talisman!"
"Yes, there is the soul of the previous general in the golden seal. Before he died, he passed this seal to me and ordered me to guard the Yangtze River on his behalf..."
The Crab Spirit continued: "After I have completed my vow, I will support the next Water Lord. I will never dare to neglect. I will always practice carefully and wait for the arrival of the Water Lord..."
The incarnation asked: "Can we wait until the water lord comes?"
The Crab Spirit felt a little ashamed and said: "The new water master has not been waiting, but those fairies have become the climate. They have also practiced for a hundred years. They have inherited the Tianwu inheritance, and their Taoist magic power is much better than mine..."
Thinking of the magic power of the dragon's breath, it was only small compared to Liu Qiao, but it was out of reach for this crab spirit.
In this way, the blue orb in the hand of the turtle dragon is probably the treasure left by Tianwu.
The incarnation twisted his beard and said with a smile: "General, don't worry, I am here just to subdue those monsters..."
"I rely on the magic power of the Immortal!" Crab Spirit was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed.
In fact, this crab spirit has invited no less than a dozen passing Taoist priests, tutuos, and strangers over the years, and asked them to succumb to the demons with gold, silver, or jewelry.
However, it was the meat bun that beat the dog and made those monsters a full meal.
Although he was happy, he just followed the previous process and didn't have much hope, even though he had seen the wonderful method of incarnating everything as he wished.
I just begged from the bottom of my heart, God has mercy on me, I hope the immortal chief invited this time can get rid of the demons, return Qingning to Haiyue, and bring peace to the people.
"It's just that I've searched hundreds of miles along the river, but how come I can't see the slightest trace of evil spirit or any evil spirit causing trouble?" said the incarnation, somewhat puzzled.
The Crab Spirit hurriedly said: "In the past few days, when the great sage Chikui came out of seclusion, all the demons from thousands of miles away in the river, as long as they were able to practice spirituality, all went to attend the meeting. No wonder the immortal couldn't find any trace of them!"
"Great Sage Chikui?"
"Hmm, the great sage Chikui emerged in recent years. He was originally just a little demon, but inherited from Tianwu. In recent years, he has become very popular!" Crab Spirit said with some disdain.
In his opinion, these monsters are thieves, and those relics were left by Tian Wu to the next water master.
"Then do you know where this Great Sage Cave is and what its abilities are?" the incarnation asked directly.
"Of course I know. His home base is in Yunmengze. I don't know what kind of skills he has..."
The Crab Spirit thought for a moment and said: "But his men are very powerful. There are four dragons and eight generals who take turns going to the Yangtze River to feed on blood, and there are thirty-six battalions of sailors to defend the old nest."
…
Liu Qiao flew all the way from Yizhou back to the Lizhou River. With a single move, he rose up from the water and flew back into the water.
A memory emerged in my mind, and all the conversations between the incarnation and the crab spirit became clear in my mind.
"Great Sage Chikui, it turns out that turtle dragon is his subordinate, known as the Four Dragons and Eight Generals... I want to see it..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After that, escape from the water and go straight to Yunmengze.
As for the crab spirit, she is still waiting in the cave for the good news that she will transform into a demon slayer.
Yunmengze, later known as Dongting Lake, was still a place full of poisonous insects and sparsely populated in pre-ancient times.
There is a saying about the Three Mountains and Five Mountains: "If you want to learn from the Dharma, you must get Yunmeng; if you want to be the king of Dharma, you must get Mianyang."
Yunmeng is the resting place of many ancient greats. Many of the ancestors of the Thirty-Six Cave have received guidance, opportunities, etc. from Yunmeng, and opened up a line of caves.
As for this King of Dharma, he refers to the currently number one Cave Heaven, the Taoist temple of the great immortal in Tongbai Mountain. In recent years, he has become very popular and has many disciples. He is vaguely the number one ancestor of the side sect in the Central Plains.
According to Liu Qiao's opinion, among the Taiyi side sects, there is one who can rival the immortal ancestor from Tongbai Mountain.
There is only the ancestor of the Earth Immortal who is not well-known in the West. Or perhaps, there is no such person in this world.
However, at present, those who practice these two methods can only be considered a minority. The real mainstream is the Taoist Three Refining Qi Dao, which directly points to the true immortal.
Not long after traveling to escape the light, I arrived at the Yunmeng Lake. I looked with my Dharma eyes and saw that the evil spirit filled the cave for hundreds of miles.
Sure enough, as the crab spirit said, the demons of the Yangtze River are all here today.
"Let's take a look at the situation first. If they are all like that turtle, we will save time and catch them all in one fell swoop!" Liu Qiao felt a little happy.
Shengyi and Tianwu were once close friends of life and death, with a deep sense of loyalty. Liu Qiao took the bones of Shengyi and vowed to clean up the evil atmosphere for Tianwu.
However, the Yangtze River is vast and it would be too slow to search one by one. Now that we have gathered together, we can catch them all in one go. I wonder how much effort can be saved.
After practicing the Youshen Vajra Dharma, the power of the divine channel increased dozens of times, and he could truly move mountains and seas. Liu Qiao had this confidence.
The only thing to worry about is the great sage Chikui, who knows how capable he is, and the other three dragons and eight generals who have not yet been seen.
However, this kind of monster, which is called a saint by leftists, has a relatively high water content. Liu Qiao had only been practicing for a few years, and he killed two saints, the two saints of Maolu, with his sutras.
As for the so-called thirty-six battalions of demon soldiers?
For Liu Qiao, who practiced Huang Ting Taoism, he didn't need to worry about being a local chicken or a wacko dog.
