"What's going on? Why can't I fly out of this Taoist temple?"
"I obviously ran out, why did I come back here again?"
"It's over, someone cast a spell to trap us all here."
Inside Guyue Temple, evil winds were blowing everywhere, spirits were scurrying around, and all kinds of noisy sounds could be heard. The spirits that had been released before were in a hurry to escape because they were afraid of a Taoist here.
The Taoist holding an ancient sword.
He easily killed a weasel spirit with four hundred years of experience, leaving no room for resistance.
This kind of Taoism has exceeded the imagination of all spirits. Perhaps this is the ability that a true immortal can possess.
And if such an immortal wants to slay demons, how can they not panic?
At this moment, many spirits only have fear and panic in their hearts, and can only scurry around like headless flies. After all, years of torture from conservative Shang Dao people have created shadows in their hearts.
"Everyone, everyone stop, stop running around. This is a magic that creates a prison. You can't get out with your way." Suddenly, a light shout sounded.
But he saw a thick smoke gathering next to the fox bottle, and an ugly woman in tattered clothes and covered in blood appeared in front of her.
Chou Niang was weak and weak all over and was seriously injured. She was unable to even shout or drink.
But she seemed to be very prestigious among these spirits. When she drank, the spirits running around in the Taoist temple began to stop one after another, and looked at Chou Niang in shock.
"Don't you understand why you can escape from the fox bottle? They are all well-behaved monsters. Why do you want to run around like a frightened beast? Not only will this not solve the problem, it will also bring disaster. In front of you.
Isn't this weasel the best proof?" Ugly
My mother shouted again.
At this time, the spirits in Gu Yue Temple had just calmed down a little.
"Chou girl, do we meet again?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at her calmly: "Now it seems that this is what you are planning. Use my hands to break the fox bottle and seek freedom."
When Chou Niang saw Li Xiuyuan, she immediately knelt down without hesitation: "The little demon led the Taoist priest here to show his helplessness. If not, the little demon and the other spirits in the fox bottle would have been doomed sooner or later, so we had no choice but to come up with this plan."
.”
"How do you know that I can definitely help you?" Li Xiuyuan said.
A look of sadness appeared on Chou Niang's face: "The little demon is not sure, but the Taoist priest is not the first Taoist the little demon lured to Gu Yue Temple."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I see, is this the so-called fishing with a big net? The reason you fought with me before was not to drive me away, but to test my Taoism. After all, if you can't fight me, how can you do it?
How can I rescue you?"
"The Taoist Master is very clever, and the little demon is convinced." Chou Niang knelt down and knelt before saying with tears of gratitude, "The Taoist Master's kindness today will never be forgotten by the little demon."
"Don't thank me in a hurry. I just released you from the fox bottle. I didn't say let you go. If I can kill one monster, I can kill the second one." Li Xiuyuan said with a slight movement in his eyes.
"The Taoist is a reasonable person. No matter what, the little demon is grateful for the Taoist's kindness." Chou Niang still kowtowed and thanked him.
Li Xiuyuan didn't say much, but looked at Taoist Shang: "Master Taoist, aren't you going to explain this matter?"
Taoist Shang's face was changing at this moment. At this time, even if he tried to hide it, he couldn't be satisfied anymore. He immediately looked up to the sky and sighed: "Disaster, disaster! The poor Taoist practices external alchemy, uses the method of tonic, captures monsters, and causes massacres.
, I thought I had escaped the punishment of Thunder Lord, and I had hidden it from my colleagues.
Human ears and eyes cannot conceal God’s intention.”
"Today the fox vase was broken and all the spirits came out. All this seems man-made, but in fact it is the evil retribution of the poor man. He has nothing to say."
The moment the fox bottle was broken, his tonic practice was cut off.
So what if enlightenment is just around the corner?
I can't go down this road.
"Really? So what the Taoist priest means is that you captured these monsters with fox bottles? Those words and gestures before were all lies from the Taoist priest?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Chou Niang said sadly: "What the Taoist Master said is true. The little demon was originally a fox spirit who cultivated in the mountains. It was only because he met this evil one one day and was restrained by his fox bottle that he came under his control and stole for him.
It is not my wish to take the essence of mortals and confuse them. The little demon has already survived the catastrophe and will become an immortal.
How could you be willing to fall when you are not far away?"
"Over the years, the number of spirits that have been ordered to this evil realm is less than a dozen, and there are dozens more. Some spirits do not obey, so they are killed by this evil realm. They are skinned and fleshed out, the inner elixirs are dug out, and they are cooked and eaten, just to increase their number.
The essence of the Taoist priest is used to nourish it. If the Taoist priest does not believe it, the white fox flag in this Taoist temple can prove it. There are also
The fox meat dried in the backyard can also prove it."
"I can also testify that I saw with my own eyes that the evil realm beat my sister to death, peeled off my sister's fox skin, and made it into a white fox flag."
"The little demon didn't do evil intentionally, it was all because of the persecution of the evil realm. If the little demon didn't steal the essence for him, he would have eaten the little demon. The little demon had no choice but to survive."
"Please also ask the Taoist Priest to show mercy and let Chou Niang go. Let us go."
After the other spirits calmed down a little, they kowtowed to Li Xiuyuan one by one, telling their sadness and grief with tears.
After hearing this, Teng Yunzi already knew the whole story.
It turns out that this Taoist Shang is not an expert in conquering demons and demons at all. Everything is just a lie. His method of conquering demons and demons is to capture demons indiscriminately, and to nourish himself if he is disobedient.
He was sent out to steal the essence of mortals, and finally he refined it into pills for his own cultivation.
OK.
"Junior brother, if this is true, this is a great evil." Teng Yunzi said with emotion.
In practice, people pay attention to refraining from killing, being pure in mind and having few desires, and practicing Qi to live forever.
Or travel around the mortal world, benefiting people and accumulating merit.
In the eyes of orthodox practitioners, this kind of practice is evil and must be punished.
Li Xiuyuan was not in a hurry to answer, but asked: "Master Shang, are what these monsters say true?"
Seeing this, the Taoist Shang simply stopped hiding it and said with a laugh: "As a poor Taoist, in order to become an immortal, it doesn't matter if you kill some spirits. My fellow Taoist, didn't you also kill a weasel spirit?"
Killing demons and demons is the duty of practitioners. Wouldn’t it be better if there were fewer demons and monsters in the world?
Is that so? Although the poor Taoist has some selfish intentions, it is all just for cultivation."
"Then what does it mean to instruct the spirits to steal the essence of mortals? This is equivalent to the evil way." Li Xiuyuan said.
The Shang Taoist looked at him and said: "The poor Taoist instructs the spirits to steal the essence of mortals, but in return, the spirits send money in exchange. This is a transaction. The mortals enjoy the beauty and money of the spirits, and all they have to pay is
It's just some insignificant essence, and the poor man didn't murder them.
His life, and the poor Taoist instigated the spirits to seduce mortals, so the spirits revealed their identity first."
"If mortals are afraid of rejection, the spirits sent by Pindao will leave and will never stay. Pindao only steals the essence of those who are deceived by wealth and lust, and even know that they are spirits but still want to enjoy wealth and lust."
"If there is evil in poor people, where does the evil come from? It is the greed for money and lust of those mortals that makes poor people practice. If they are not greedy and lustful, how can poor people send spirits to take them away so smoothly?
Where’s the essence?”
Li Xiuyuan pondered for a while and said: "What you said does have some truth. I will not deny this. You have a deep understanding of karma and retribution. You have already thought about how to do your evil deeds when you practice.
Be small and escape retribution.”
If this Taoist person did any evil, mortals would account for at least 50% of it, because it was their greed for money and lust that harmed them.
Spirits account for at least 40%, because they take the initiative to confuse mortals.
Shangdao people only occupy one floor at most.
In this way, the evil is very small, and it can only be said that his practice methods are very cruel.
As for the spirits being captured, killed, and cooked,
Li Xiuyuan is not easy to manage.
This is a matter between practitioners and does not involve mortals anymore.
Even though Hu Hei and Hu Han fought for the valley that day and many vixens were killed or injured, Li Xiuyuan finally let Hu Hei go and did not kill them all.
