Chapter five hundred and twentieth eight white fox flags
There are indeed experts in Guyue Temple.
Li Xiuyuan used his divine eye skills to detect various situations in the temple. Unless he was a person with good Taoism, he would not be able to detect it. Those who can detect it are all people with advanced Taoism.
Even if such a person has not cultivated the Golden Elixir Avenue, I'm afraid he can't be far behind.
Now that he was aware of it, he stopped doing the spying thing, and immediately went up the mountain to visit with his senior brother Teng Yunzi.
As I walked up the stone steps, I soon saw a Taoist priest with extraordinary appearance and bright spirit standing there as straight as a pine tree, squinting his eyes and looking towards us.
Fellow people?
The middle-aged Taoist priest's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he felt a little surprised in his heart.
He is actually a Taoist, but why do he know the magic of heavenly ghosts and gods?
Divine Eye Technique has always been a spell used by ghosts and gods to detect the situation in the mortal world. People who practice Taoism generally use Xuanguang Technique. If people in the Taoist sect inherit the orthodox tradition, they will only use their own sect's spells, and other side sect spells will not be used.
I will learn it.
"The master of Pindao Ancient Moon Temple, Shang Tao Ren, has met two Taoist friends." The Taoist priest who claimed to be Shang Tao Ren gave a salute.
"Poverty Taoist Teng Yunzi, this is Pindao's junior brother Li... Mr. Li, please don't blame me for disturbing me when I came to your place just now." Teng Yunzi returned the greeting.
The Taoist Master smiled and said, "Since we are fellow Taoists, how can we be surprised? The two Taoist friends are blessed with pure energy and extraordinary magic. They must be masters in practice. It's too late for me to see the joy in my heart. Come on, come on,
Come, two Taoist friends, please come in and rest. Rong Pindao will treat you well. If you are two Taoist friends,
If we are not stingy, it would be best if we could confirm each other's secrets of immortality."
"Fellow Taoist, you are so polite." Teng Yunzi smiled and said, "How dare you show off your meager Taoism in front of fellow Taoist."
"Please." Mr. Shang smiled and waved.
After entering the Taoist temple, Master Shang immediately ordered the disciples and Taoist boys in the Taoist temple to fetch fruits, fresh vegetables, clear spring water and wine to entertain the two of them.
Li Xiuyuan took this opportunity to look around at everything in the Taoist temple.
There is a statue of a god enshrined in the middle of the Taoist temple. The statue is condensed with incense and is already psychic. However, the ghosts and gods who accept the offerings are not here. This statue will continue to absorb offerings every day. When the incense reaches a certain amount, the gods and ghosts who are being worshiped will be there.
Come and collect.
But for some reason, Li Xiuyuan felt that the appearance of the enshrined statue looked familiar.
It seemed that he had seen it somewhere. When he was about to think about it, he was attracted by another thing next to the statue.
A Taoist flag.
This flag is different from the ordinary Taoist flags. The ordinary Taoist flags are made of cloth, but this flag is sewn with fur.
Several pieces of soft white fur were spliced together to form a flag flag. In the middle of the flag flag, a snow-white fox fur was sewn on it. A fox's head was still clearly visible. I don't know what method was used to create the white fox on the flag pole.
The eyes were still open, emitting a faint light, as if they were alive.
Came over.
Looking further, Li Xiuyuan discovered that as the fur on the flag fluctuated, countless foxes appeared vaguely.
"Fellow Taoist seems to be very interested in Pindao's white fox flag?" Taoist Shang asked with a smile.
Li Xiuyuan withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "This is called the White Fox Flag? I don't know what it does? It looks very extraordinary."
"Haha, this is just a magical weapon that I refined in my spare time. It is of no great use and can only be used to confuse people. I put it here just to isolate some robbers and thieves nearby.
While Pindao was away, the Taoist temple was robbed and the lives of his disciples were destroyed.
"The Taoist Shang smiled.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Don't the Taoist Master want to demonstrate the magic method of immortality? Why not let us two brothers see the Taoist Master's magic method? For example... this white fox flag."
"Since Taoist friends are interested in Pindao's white fox flag, Pindao will show his disgrace."
Taoist Shang said with some shame, then he picked up the whisk beside him and knocked on a few tables, and then said: "There are distinguished guests coming to the door, why are you hiding? Why don't you come out to meet the distinguished guest."
As soon as he finished speaking, the white fox flags automatically moved without wind, and then the sound of foxes sounded in the Taoist temple.
Then I saw the fur suddenly squirming in the white fox flag, and a fox's head suddenly poked out from inside. Then it rustled out, and soon fell to the ground, and started walking back and forth in the hall.
From time to time it still flies in the air.
"It's the soul of a fox, not a real fox." Li Xiuyuan's expression changed slightly.
The soul of a fox is the spirit left behind after the death of a successful fox. In other words, it is a fox ghost.
There was not only one fox ghost flying out from the white fox flag, but several rustling sounds were heard, and fox ghosts jumped out one after another. After a while, at least ten or twenty fox ghosts were rescued in the Kung Fu Hall.
ghost.
"It's very rude to meet distinguished guests with the attitude of a fox, why don't you change?" Mr. Shang took a whisk and knocked on a few more cases.
After his voice fell, the sound of the fox in the hall immediately changed.
"Giggle~!" A sound of female laughter came, some were crisp and moving, some were charming and charming, and some were young and dignified.
All kinds of things.
Looking at it again, the fox ghost flying up and down in the Taoist temple has disappeared, replaced by beautiful women with bare jade feet, slender legs, and tulle palace clothes, flying through the air, sometimes landing on the Taoist temple.
On the beams, sometimes it flies around the wooden pillars, sometimes it falls on the ground and lights its jade feet.
Running happily, sometimes falling in front of my eyes, swinging my waist and dancing.
Yingying and Yanyan, peerless beauties, are like fairy palaces and fairies dancing.
It is also like a wine pond and a forest of meat, making people happy and reluctant to miss Shu.
"I haven't poured wine for my two fellow Taoists yet." Taoist Master Shang knocked on a few more questions.
Immediately, a young and beautiful fox ghost with eyes gleaming and graceful flew to the side of Li Xiuyuan and landed. She picked up the jug next to her and poured a glass of wine with a smile.
"Invite the Taoist Master to drink."
Teng Yunzi frowned as he looked at the charming fox ghost next to him. He waved his hand, but saw a gust of breeze blowing away. The fox ghost next to him was blown away, and the fallen wine glass was caught in his hand.
"This is a spell to arrest souls and enslave ghosts. It is harmful to the harmony of heaven and earth. Fellow Taoists should not use spells to arrest these poor fox ghosts, refine white fox flags, and use them like maids. Taoist monks
What is important is to restrain inner desires, comply with destiny, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and overcome disasters and become immortals.
, every time Taoist fellow Taoist casts this kind of spell to capture the soul of a fox spirit, he will cause an extra sin, and I am afraid that disaster will come in the future..."
Having said this, he shook his head and felt that this method was not advisable.
Li Xiuyuan also frowned, remembering the tanned fox skins and the pickled and sun-dried meat he had seen in the yard before, plus so many fox ghosts in front of him.
There is no doubt that many vixens died in the hands of this Taoist Shang.
However, Master Shang laughed and said: "There are thousands of ways to achieve enlightenment. What I practice is the external alchemy technique. Among the external alchemy techniques, I choose the tonic method, which focuses on taking the essence of monsters to replenish oneself and achieve success."
Dao Dao. There are great medicines in the human body, which are also great leakages. Every day they disperse from the seven skillful places and pores all over the body.
Essence, if things go on like this for a long time, the essence will flow out and it will be the end of life. If the deficiencies can be checked and repaired, the essence will not leak out, and then it can stay in the world forever."
"Don't forget that when a person is born, he has a lot of energy, so he cries loudly and his eyes are bright. When he is a child, he is energetic and plays from morning to night without getting tired. But when he becomes a young man, his energy is opened and his whole body is full of energy.
The essence of the body is like a sluice discharging floods, rushing endlessly. Although it is still strong, it is already declining. When it grows old,
When you are young, your essence is severely lost, so your body becomes old and disease-ridden, and it is inevitable that you will be buried in the loess. Do you think this, fellow Taoist?"
Hearing this, Teng Yunzi nodded and said, "This is true. Therefore, those who practice Taoism must swallow the essence of the sun and the moon, slay the red dragon, and subdue the white tiger, so that they will not leak out, and achieve the status of a true immortal."
Li Xiuyuan listened to the two people discussing the law, but sat silently.
He doesn't know much about Taoist practitioners, so it's not easy for him to participate in discussions.
"It seems that fellow Taoist practitioners practice the inner alchemy method." Taoist Shang smiled and said, "But how can we not repair the leaks in the body? People have to eat when they are tired and hungry, and Taoists have to eat when their essence has been lost. The principle is the same.
of."
"My Taoist friend wants to practice the art of external alchemy, so he hunts the fox spirit, takes its flesh and blood, and seizes its internal elixir?" Teng Yunzi said.
"Of course."
The Taoist Shang nodded, without any shame: "Fox spirits often transform into enchanting beauties and wander around the world to replenish men's essence. The poor Taoist captures fox spirits, subjugates demons, eliminates evil for the world, and can also replenish oneself."
, what’s not possible?”
Teng Yunzi pondered for a moment and said, "If this is the case, I really have nothing to say."
Li Xiuyuan said at this moment: "But there are good and bad fox spirits. How can the Taoist priest distinguish the good and evil of fox spirits? You must know that not all fox spirits are harmful to others. There are also some good ones. Fox spirits who know how to repay kindness.
, what should we do if we accidentally kill a good person?"
The Taoist monk laughed and said, "Human beings have good and evil qualities. How can animals have good and evil qualities? Furthermore, when people eat pigs and sheep, how can they tell which sheep are good and which are bad? Don't they all have to eat? You can't just eat them.
If you don’t eat the good sheep, just let them go. The fox spirit is a spirit that has been cultivated by the fox. It is a beast.
They are very cunning and know that mortals like beauties, so they often turn into beauties to seduce men."
"That fox spirit, fellow Taoists, I'm afraid you don't know. She has practiced cultivation for a hundred years and just survived the human calamity. Once she became a Taoist, she couldn't wait to transform into a beauty to seduce farmers in the fields. In the end, five men were depleted of their essence and died of illness.
When Pindao arrived, she was seducing the sixth man in his house.
, if Pindao hadn’t arrived in time, the sixth man would also have been killed.”
Li Xiuyuan looked over and saw that the fox spirit had transformed into a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. She was pretty and upright, but her eyes were slanted and had the charm of a fox.
"Where do you see, fellow Taoist, that fox spirit has been practicing Taoism for three hundred years, but she has only practiced for more than a hundred years? The reason why she can practice at such a speed is because she hangs out in brothels, turns into an oiran, and harvests men. There are many
The man abandoned his family and children for her and sold his land just to raise money for one night's supply.
, it’s ridiculous that those mortals don’t know that the woman they are obsessed with is just a fox spirit in disguise, and that fox spirit not only defrauded them of their money, but also defrauded their essence.”
"How cunning."
After saying this, Mr. Shang couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
The vixen he was referring to was a voluptuous and beautiful woman, whose appearance was more beautiful than any fairy in the sky. How could a mortal not be crazy about such a woman?
"What if humans and foxes fall in love, not for the sake of gaining essence? What should the Taoist priest do?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
Taoist Shang smiled and picked up a winter date from the fruit plate in front of him: "Will fellow Taoist fall in love with this date?"
"No." Li Xiuyuan said.
The Taoist Shang put the winter jujube into his mouth and ate it, and then praised: "What a sweet jujube. Mortals are like this winter jujube in front of the fox spirit. Although they like it, they are just happy to see the hunter.
But the final result is still unavoidable: put it in your mouth and swallow it in one gulp. If you feel that
It’s a pity that it’s okay to have a small mouth.”
"Men have always been infatuated with the beauty of fox spirits. How can a fox spirit be infatuated with a man? The poor Taoist kills those fox spirits, peels off their fur, takes their flesh and blood, and digs out their inner elixir. This is not only to eliminate monsters, but also to practice. Although the method
It's a little cruel, but it also benefits the people and protects them from evil spirits."
Mr. Shangdao looked upright and said firmly.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Since we are exterminating evil demons, I don't think it's inappropriate to peel off skin and eat flesh. Although it's not what a practitioner should do, I can't blame it. But why should the Taoist priest confine the souls of fox spirits and force them to stay?"
, why not let them reincarnate?"
"The resentment is too heavy, and if they are let go, they will become evil ghosts. The poor Taoist cannot kill them, which will cut off their chance of reincarnation, so they can only be imprisoned, waiting for the fate to resolve their resentment, and then send them away.
Reincarnation in the underworld." Shang Dao said.
In this way, apart from the inappropriateness of killing a fox for meat, every move of this Taoist seems to be understandable.
Even Li Xiuyuan couldn't find anything wrong with it.
only.......
Li Xiuyuan thought of the ugly girl from before.
Since the Taoist monks killed the fox spirit for spiritual practice, why didn't they kill the ugly girl?
After pursuing her all the way, he was certain that Chou Niang must have been captured by the fox-calling spell and brought to the Ancient Moon Temple.
Thinking of this, he asked: "Since the Taoist priest hunted fox spirits for cultivation, why did I see a fox spirit turn into a puff of smoke and fly into the Taoist temple before? That was a fox spirit who had practiced Taoism for eight hundred years.
, could it be that the vixen was raised by the Taoist Priest?"
Taoist Shang's eyes flickered, and then he said in surprise: "Oh, if there is such a thing, Pindao should pay attention to it. I'm afraid that Pindao hunted too many fox spirits and caused the fox spirits to retaliate. Thank you Taoist friend for informing me.
I will definitely take strict precautions in the past few days to find that fox spirit and kill it."
"Really... But I think that fox spirit is not bad in nature. It is not easy to practice for eight hundred years. I think suppressing it for two hundred years is enough. Isn't it inappropriate to kill him directly?" Li Xiuyuan said.
.
Teng Yunzi, who was next to him, also nodded and said: "Yes, two hundred years of suppression is enough. After all, God has the virtue of good life."
"A fox spirit with eight hundred years of Taoism is also difficult to deal with. If he encounters a fight, it won't be a big deal." Taoist Shang said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "It doesn't matter. If the Taoist priest finds the fox spirit, we two brothers will help. Although we dare not lie, it is more than enough to capture the fox spirit."
"Oh, these two fellow Taoists are so capable. That's really a blessing for me. I have to rely on these two fellow Taoists to cope with this calamity." Taoist Shang immediately said with joy.
