"Come on, come on! I heard from Master Mingzhang that your chess skills have improved greatly."
Taoist Master Yuting made a move, almost forcing Taoist Master Mingzhang into a dead corner, "Come and see, Master Mingzhang, is there any way to survive in this game of chess?"
Taoist priest Ming Zhang stared, "What do you mean there is no way out? I haven't lost yet, okay?"
Taoist Priest Yuting said perfunctorily, "Yes, you have indeed not lost yet. I still have two steps left to complete the layout."
Taoist Master Mingzhang, "..."
Upon hearing this, Taoist Master Mingzhang immediately turned to the chess game in front of him and looked left and right.
For a while...
"Well, the opportunity for a veteran to turn defeat into victory lies between these two hands!"
Taoist Master Ming Zhang nodded, then stood up gently, asked Lu Zheng to sit on his seat, picked up a piece of thousand-layer cake and put it into his mouth.
"Yuan Zheng, come and play the remaining chess pieces for me, so that Master Yu Ting can see your chess skills that have improved recently."
Taoist Priest Yuting laughed loudly, pointed at Taoist Priest Zhang, and said nothing.
What can Lu Zheng do? He can only sit down and play chess on behalf of Taoist Master Mingzhang.
The next moment, hold on to Bai Luozi.
Taoist Priest Yuting raised his eyebrows, but he had expected this move, so he followed immediately.
One white and one black, falling five times in a row.
"Huh?"
When Lu Zheng landed a white piece again, Taoist Master Yuting suddenly let out a cry of surprise and realized that something was wrong.
After thinking for a moment, he followed.
…
"Hahaha, I think those two hands are the opportunity for the old Taoist to turn defeat into victory." Taoist Master Ming Zhang laughed loudly, put the last piece of snack into his mouth, and then swallowed it with fragrant tea.
"Come on, if you had come to play, I would have won thirty moves ago." Taoist Master Yuting said angrily, then turned to look at Lu Zheng, "Not bad, my chess skills have indeed improved a lot, and I can actually play
Ming Zhang Lao Dao has come back from this game successfully, now it’s still early, let’s play another game.”
…
At noon, a few people went down the mountain to eat, and Lu Zheng realized that Taoist Yuting had made a circle on the two northern roads, and then turned back to Lingbei Road.
"You are a wild Taoist priest. When you get older, you should find a place to build a temple. Stop wandering around all day." Taoist Master Mingzhang advised.
Taoist Priest Yuting shook his head, "I can't stay idle."
Taoist priest Mingzhang could only hehe and stopped trying to persuade him. He just had a drink with Taoist priest Yuting and drank it all in one gulp.
During the meal, Taoist Priest Yuting talked about his experiences while traveling in the two northern roads, such as fighting against the big demon and killing the ghost king, and taught Yuan Jing and Lu Zheng some of his experience.
"Speaking of which, during this flood, I happened to be on Yinan Road. When I was doing disaster relief, I met two strange people who were possessed by demons." Taoist Master Yu Ting said.
"Possessed?"
Taoist Master Mingzhang frowned, "The possessed cultivator is the most difficult to deal with. Which family does that person belong to?"
"I've never seen it." Taoist priest Yuting shook his head.
"Never seen it?" Taoist Master Mingzhang was very surprised when he heard this, "What do you mean?"
Then he was shocked again, "The new demon sect? Isn't it the righteous way that was lured into the demon? So is this the demonic skill that was passed down in the past, or is it an evil demon from outside the world who came into the dream to teach the method? It can't be that a demon from heaven has reincarnated into the world with his mind, right?
"
Taoist Priest Yuting couldn't help but said helplessly, "How did I know?"
In this world, although some bad guys are collectively called demons, and famous and decent people talk about subjugating demons and other slogans, in fact, the real so-called "demons" are extremely rare.
If you only practice killing people to refine souls, harvesting yin and absorbing yang, etc. to benefit yourself at the expense of others, strictly speaking, you should be called a heretic.
The "demon" is different. Although it still looks like a human being, it has actually undergone a qualitative change on the inside. Even its spirit will be infected, which is completely different from humans.
For example, the only real "demon" Lu Zheng came into contact with was the Glazed Buddha in the secret realm of Jiming Temple.
It’s completely insane!
Therefore, demons are too harmful and are simply non-human and psychopathic.
Just like Dajing's attitude, whether it's the Southern Territory and the East China Sea, or the Northern Territory or the Buddhist Kingdom in the West, the attitude toward demons is to fight to the death.
Therefore, there has not been a real "big devil" in this world for a long time.
Whether it is a person who takes the initiative to practice magic skills or a person who goes astray in his practice and becomes a demon, once he is discovered, he will die.
Unexpectedly, it appeared again.
"You haven't found out the other party's background?" Taoist priest Mingzhang asked with a frown.
"I don't have the ability to kill them. I have already tried my best." Taoist Master Yuting shook his head and said, "But when they cast the spell, there was a fire in the demonic energy. I don't know if it was originally like this or not.
From which volcanic sect was the Detian Mo transmission method transformed?"
"This matter must be notified to the Zhenyi Division." Taoist Master Mingzhang said.
"I have informed you that I will carry the bodies of those two people there," Taoist Priest Yuting said.
"Zhen Yisi didn't notice it either?"
"Zhen Yisi is not a god." Taoist Priest Yuting curled his lips.
Taoist Master Mingzhang looked at Lu Zheng and Yuan Jing, "You haven't met anyone who cultivates demons."
Yuan Jing shook his head, "No."
Lu Zheng also shook his head, and then said, "When I came back, Mr. Chu from the Yizhou Town Yisi also asked me if I had discovered anything weird. Could it be because someone who cultivates demons appeared?"
"Probably so." Taoist Master Mingzhang frowned and nodded, "And if he can ask you, it means that he has met many people who cultivate demons."
"They want to fish in troubled waters, so why would they come to Dajing?" Taoist Priest Yuting frowned, "The sects in southern Xinjiang are chaotic, the northern region is vast and sparsely populated, and the East China Sea is boundless. Wouldn't it be more suitable?"
"You ask me, who am I asking?" Taoist Master Mingzhang said angrily, "And how do you know their lair is not somewhere else?"
"Of course their mountain gate cannot be within Dajing. I'm just talking about why they showed up in Dajing this time." Taoist Priest Yuting said.
"You didn't ask them when you were fighting them?" Taoist Master Mingzhang asked.
"I asked, but they didn't tell me."
"Yes." Taoist Master Ming Zhang nodded, "This is indeed the performance of a demon cultivator."
Taoist Priest Yuting, "..."
"It's okay. There are tall people who can hold up the sky when it falls. It's not the last years of the dynasty, so demon cultivators can make rapid progress. Now in this world, demon cultivators will die one by one." Taoist Master Ming Zhang said nonchalantly.
Taoist Priest Yuting curled his lips, "But according to historical records, several great catastrophes in the world of cultivation were all related to demonic cultivation."
"But the demon cultivator never won." Taoist Master Mingzhang said.
"If everyone thinks so, I'm afraid it will be ruined next time." Taoist Priest Yuting said.
"Don't worry, the imperial court and the ancestors of the major sects are not just for show. They have thought much more deeply than we have. Didn't you listen to what Yuan Zheng said just now? This matter is probably on the desk of Emperor Jing and the ancestors of each sect.
"Taoist Master Mingzhang said.
"Okay." Taoist Priest Yuting could only shake his head helplessly, "Anyway, if a demon comes to this world, I can only watch."
"That's right, so the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it." Taoist priest Ming Zhang said with a smile, "If a big devil really appears in this world, naturally there will be a tall man to support it. We will share the wealth of the remaining devils."
