"Hold the grass!" Lin Yi let go of his hand, took two steps back in fright, widened his pupils, and exclaimed in disbelief: "You're not dead yet?"
The old Taoist priest stared at Lin Yi with his sunken eyes. He struggled to use his hands to support himself to sit up, leaning his rugged back gently against the edge of the stone platform.
His sternum rose and fell, and his rapid breathing made no sound.
The old Taoist priest had no strength just to support himself to sit up. This shows how much the arrow he shot with the blood-red demon bow cost.
Fugu also came over and stared at the old Taoist priest with his beast's eyes shrinking. It didn't expect that the old Taoist priest was not dead yet.
However, Fu Gu could feel that the old Taoist priest's vitality was almost completely gone. He could only hold on for one stick of incense at most. If he wanted to continue living, it would be impossible.
Lin Yi stood aside quietly. He wanted to carry the old Taoist priest out, but he was afraid that his fragile body could not withstand the torment. A slight inadvertent movement might kill the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest sat on the ground and rested against the stone platform for a while before he calmed down a bit. He raised his skull-like head and stared at Lin Yi for a long time without speaking.
Lin Yi felt a little uncomfortable and asked unbearably: "If you have any other last wishes, tell me and I will try my best to help you fulfill them."
"Hoo ho!"
The old Taoist priest was breathing heavily, and his Adam's apple was stuck in his neck like a hammer, unable to move. The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them out even though he wanted to say them.
Fugu stepped forward, stretched out his sharp claws and gently touched his Adam's apple, and a dark evil spirit was injected into the old Taoist priest's body.
"If you have anything to say, please say it as soon as possible. I can only help you so far."
After being instilled with demonic energy by Fu Gu, the old Taoist priest's Adam's apple, which was as heavy as a hammer, seemed to have turned into a feather. The old Taoist priest coughed a few times and spit out dried blood.
The old Taoist priest was able to speak, and said in a weak voice: "My last wish is that you can give the blood-red demon bow to my apprentice who is a few years old, so that he can inherit my mantle."
Fu Gu grinned and said: "Old man, you are about to die, and you are still thinking about your precious apprentice, but you don't know that it was your precious apprentice who killed you..."
"Although you just helped me, you are a monster. Why would I believe your words?"
Fu Gu grinned and said: "Haha, you are such an old Taoist and you don't even understand before you die. Why does Lin Yi live in a Taoist temple?"
"Why?"
"Because I smelled the demonic aura on Old Wei and his wife, and also smelled an even stronger demonic aura on you."
"Once the demonic energy is absorbed too much, it will slowly absorb the essence of human beings, and many human beings will unknowingly accelerate their death."
"And the demonic energy cannot be detected except by demons and advanced spiritual cultivators. This rich demonic energy is not only powerful, but it has also been with you for 4 years."
"Four years ago, if I'm not mistaken, it should have been the year you adopted the little Taoist priest, right?"
"Ahem!" The old Taoist priest coughed up blood again, and his whole body seemed to have returned to the light, feeling much more energetic.
"Then you mean that my precious disciple was transformed into the Purple Gold Demon King?"
Fu Gu said: "Do you think it is necessary for me to lie to a dying human being?"
After listening to Fu Gu's explanation, the old Taoist priest did not doubt what he just said. Because Fu Gu was right. Since he adopted the little Taoist priest 4 years ago, he has been feeling insufficient of blood and energy every day. He used to simply think that it was due to
The blood-red demonic bow transports blood essence, but I never thought it was tortured by demonic energy.
It’s no wonder that Mr. and Mrs. Wei’s hair suddenly turned gray 4 years ago.
The old Taoist priest was in his dying years. He was silent for a long time before he said:
"Thanks."
When a person is about to die, he speaks kindly, and his life is about to come to an end. For this black monster that killed him and helped him, the old Taoist priest felt calm in his heart, without too much hatred or resentment.
"Hei Yao, Rong Pindao, please say one more thing. The world will change. Hidden masters will be born soon. Do less karma, otherwise you will bring trouble on yourself sooner or later."
Lin Yi said: "Old Taoist, please don't worry, as long as I'm watching, it's impossible for Fugu to kill anyone."
"This is the best, this is the best..."
The old Taoist priest nodded laboriously. He knew everything that happened in the stone room just now. The Purple Gold Demon King used the black demon, Lin Yi to kill Ou Yujiang, and Ye Qi to escape.
Although Fu Gu was present, the old Taoist priest knew that it had not killed anyone at all.
"I hope you will be optimistic about the black demon. This world will really become more and more uneven.
It's a pity that I am about to become an old man and will no longer be able to see the prosperous age that is about to come.
I wonder if I can give Pindao another look at the blood-red demonic bow and give it decades of blood essence. I finally understand it today."
"Of course." Lin Yi nodded and took the blood-red demonic bow slung over his shoulder in his hand. The black nail in his other hand accidentally touched the demonic bow in his hand.
"Boom!" The blood-red demon bow roared again, and the blood-red bow body gradually peeled off, falling to the ground and turning into a large pool of blood, revealing the demon bow's original appearance.
The golden light shines brightly in the stone room, and the strange symbols carved on the stone wall also shine with golden light.
"This, this is!"
The old Taoist priest stared blankly at this scene with his sunken eyes, and his whole body's bones trembled with excitement.
"The golden light of the demon bow is revealed, which is when the demon will die!"
The old Taoist priest burst into tears when he recalled what his master once said.
Five hundred years, what a long wait, the hard work of dozens of generations of Taoist people, and the prophecies passed down orally from generation to generation, finally got the answer before he died!
When the golden light of the demon bow gradually extinguished, the old Taoist priest said excitedly to Lin Yi: "The person chosen by the demon bow! Come to Pindao quickly, Pindao has something to say!"
Lin Yi held the golden bow in his hand, walked to the old Taoist priest, squatted down and put his ear to the old Taoist priest's mouth.
"Listen carefully, I am solemnly saying that I will pass on the mantle and mantle of the Huilong Taoist Temple to you."
"The blood-red demon bow was originally called the golden bow. It was used by You Zhou, the first Taoist priest of our Taoist temple. He used this golden bow to seal the purple-gold demon king who was causing harm to the world for 500 years. Since the death of Master You Zhou, there has been no more disciples.
He can use the golden bow, but the techniques for using the golden bow have been passed down from generation to generation."
"..."
After Lin Yi wrote down all the techniques for using the Golden Gong word by word, the old Taoist priest began to speak intermittently due to lack of physical strength.
Because of the old Taoist priest's ability to teach the Dharma, Lin Yi regarded the old Taoist priest as his master. "Master, do you have anything else to say? The apprentice will definitely help you finish it."
"Also, there is the last...last thing...the ancestor...the ancestor...there is also a secret book of formations...in...the Pindao rest room...that...the foot of the table."
....
As the old Taoist priest spoke, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he gradually died.
