Chapter 383 Persuading Surrender
The illusory ghost walked out of the soul flag and appeared in the corner.
"Borrow me some magic power."
The ghost said calmly, and used Chi Xuan's mana to launch a square spell. The intertwined auras were finally drawn into an illusory golden talisman, which slowly floated in front of the formation.
As the golden talisman attached to the formation, the formation in front of him began to change. The connecting spiritual threads were cut off by the golden talisman, and then connected in series by the golden talisman.
After a while, the golden talisman turned into a small door.
"this……"
"It just opened a back door for this magic circle." The ghost shadow said this, and the figure has disappeared.
Chi Xuan did not dare to delay and entered the Rooster Crying Temple. The golden talisman behind him quickly disappeared.
With the way of the talisman formation, Tu Shanjun has reached the top of the Xiaohuang Realm, let alone in such a cave. In his eyes, the formation in front of him was like a broken net full of loopholes, which could be broken through with any means.
As soon as he entered the Rooster Crying Temple, Chi Xuan immediately felt that his spiritual energy was abundant, and even his closed pores could be opened to breathe freely.
In the secular world, spiritual energy was really scarce, and it was mixed with the power of incense and aspiration. As a result, he could only block his own absorption of external spiritual energy, and all his cultivation relied on Yinhun Dan and other elixirs.
Now is not the time to lament that they occupied the blessed land. Chi Xuan used his magic power to activate the concealment function of the spiritual talisman and the robe. The invisibility talisman covered his body with only a faint shadow.
As long as he doesn't go where there is light, the monks of the same level will not be able to find him.
Chi Xuangang wanted to use the Earth Escape Talisman, but he felt a resistance.
It is not impossible for him to forcefully break it, but he is afraid that it will alarm everyone in the Taoist temple and the things underground. When people swarm up, he may not be an opponent.
This kind of work is good if it can reduce the risk by one point.
…
In the Cockcrow Temple, the short-bearded Taoist priest walked out of the main hall and went straight to the low room in the backyard. He finally took a break after his shift. He had been on tenterhooks every day and night for the past two days.
"Where are you going, senior brother?" The little Taoist priest next to him stopped the short-bearded Taoist with a smile on his face that seemed to be teasing.
The short-bearded Taoist priest pretended to be angry and said: "Good boy, you are still taking care of senior brother's affairs. Aren't you in the dungeon watching those blood foods? How come you have time to come here for me?"
The little Taoist priest smiled and said: "Hey, the idiot who sent the blood food lost his life today. Xiaodao happened to be rotated up, and he was about to take care of the idiot's secret concubine. Why don't you, senior brother, come with me?"
"Hey, is there such a good thing?"
"Junior brother, why don't you choose among those blood foods? Isn't it true that those who are near the water and the towers get the moon first?"
"Half-dead, no need to play with your head, it's better to stay in the backyard."
"Let's go together, let's go together!"
After saying that, the two of them walked to the backyard together, but neither of them noticed a shallow shadow hanging far behind them, following them to the corner of the backyard.
The two of them couldn't wait to get into the door. There was still the sound of talking at first, but after a while it became quiet and there was no movement at all.
A few moments.
A bloody footprint fell on the ground. Chi Xuan, who was wiping the sword in his hand, curled his lips and spat in disdain. He did such a shameful thing and was in vain as a cultivator.
Tu Shanjun looked through their memories and found that one of the two people was taking care of the children in the dungeon who were exposed to incense, and the other was making incense ash in the main hall.
The county government will send people to send incense to the body every month.
In the past, there were still boys and girls, but later there were adults.
Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, after being deprived of incense in the county government, you will be deprived of another layer when you go to the Taoist temple. Until there is no value left, and even no energy left, they will be processed intensively.
…
dusk.
As the light of the distant mountains fades, the three bright moons in the sky spread down a soft light silver gauze.
The bearded Taoist rushed into the side hall, became furious and shouted: "Where did the people guarding the alchemy furnace die?"
The smell of the alchemy furnace alarmed many people. They rushed all the way and found that the Taoist priest guarding the alchemy furnace was missing. He didn't need to think too much to know that he must have been lazy, and maybe he was on the belly of some woman in the backyard.
"Let me find you and pluck out your skin!"
"Someone is coming."
After shouting several times, a few people gathered around.
The long-bearded Taoist's expression changed.
It's possible that one or two people are lazy, but there are only a few people left in front of them and rushing over. Could it be that the rest are just lazy?
There must have been something unexpected that he didn't know about.
Looking up, the moonlight today was suddenly a bit dazzling.
The Taoist's expression changed dramatically, and his magic power quickly opened up, forming a shield of light. The whisk in his hand was no longer used as a decoration, but was placed in front of him.
A powerful and heavy sword slash came down. When he raised his fly whisk and was hit by the blow, he quickly changed his moves and slashed to the side.
bass.
He tilted his left hand, and before the long-bearded Taoist could release his whisk, the light of the sword had already passed by his palm.
"ah!"
The long-bearded Taoist screamed.
Blood sprayed everywhere, and the whisk in his hand fell to the ground along with half of his palm.
The severe pain made his face look hideous, but he did not dare to slack off, because the sword light dilated in his pupils, as if it would hit his head at any time, without giving him any time or chance to react.
"Master!"
A burly man among the Taoist disciples kicked away the stone pier in front of him and flew towards the sword light.
The Chixuan Iron Banqiao pressed down on him and turned his body in half, barely avoiding the flying stone pillars. But there was no hesitation about the sword in his hand, and his body drew a semicircle with his feet as support points.
bass!
When the sword light flashed by, the long-bearded Taoist immediately took several steps back, his eyes widened, and he covered his neck. The surging blood made him unable to speak at all. With a bang, he fell straight to the ground.
Chi Xuan turned back to look at the Taoist disciples who were coming. With one step, the green bricks burst out under his feet, and sword rays swept away people's lives.
In just a moment, the five people in front of them had already fallen to the ground.
Chi Xuan threw aside the blood on the red magic sword, took out the soul flag and collected the soul. When a spiritual talisman fell, a fire instantly ignited. The corpse in front of him turned into charcoal in the flames and burned fiercely.
Chi Xuan strode into the main hall of Jiming Temple.
What is enshrined in the main hall is not the clay sculpture of the Patriarch, but a figure sitting upright and wearing an imperial robe, with incense lingering around him, and his face is covered by a red-yellow light, making it difficult to see what he looks like.
Chi Xuan suddenly felt a pressure coming on him and immediately took out the soul flag.
The small flags turned around, and all the incense entered the soul flags.
The huge stone statue in front of him suddenly lost all its magic, countless cracks appeared, and collapsed to the ground with a roar, revealing a deep and long staircase behind the stone statue.
Chi Xuan stepped onto the long steps.
After a while, it suddenly became clear.
The dark space was lit up by bright white pearls, which were no less bright than the daytime outside.
A monk in robes was meditating on the altar. Behind him was a huge open ground, with several black chains extending to a huge iron cage.
The iron cage was covered with black cloth engraved with talisman patterns, and from time to time, low roars came from the huge iron cage. There shouldn't be any wind here, but I can feel the cold wind swirling around me.
The huge carvings around it are even painted with unknown talismans.
"Who are you!"
The Taoist priest who was carrying the corpse asked sharply.
Another Taoist also activated his magic power, watching with vigilance and nervousness the man wearing indigo Taoist robes who walked in from the corridor.
Chi Xuan ignored the two people and looked at the monk meditating on the high platform.
The monk had a face like a crown jade, with sword-shaped eyebrows standing horizontally. In front of him stood a magic sword that was submerged in the table. As he breathed and breathed, spiritual energy circulated around him.
The monk slowly opened his eyes and said quietly: "Back off, you are no match for him."
As he said that, he jumped down from the high platform and fell to the ground like falling goose feathers, making no sound at all. The aura around him was revealed, and he was clearly a monk practicing Qi Dzogchen.
However, although it is said that it is the Great Perfection of Qi training, there is actually a strong power of incense, just like the person in front of me is practicing the same method.
The monk first looked Chi Xuan up and down, and said with some surprise: "To be able to reach this level of cultivation completely relying on spiritual energy, your talent is really enviable, but you should not come to this place."
Chi Xuan said in a deep voice: "Did you spread the disease?"
"The fact that you have come here shows that you have conducted a serious investigation. There is no need for me to repeat it to you. I can only tell you that this is an order from the imperial court, and I am only acting according to the order."
The monk spoke calmly, and when talking about the imperial court, he slightly raised his hands to gesture in the direction of the capital.
"The court is wrong!"
"So you're here to right a wrong?"
Chi Xuan did not nod in recognition, but raised the magic sword in his hand and continued: "Pindao is here to dig out the source of the epidemic, not to correct mistakes. This is something that the court should consider. Pindao is just a foreign warlock." , I just want to save some people.”
"Fellow Taoist is a true cultivator."
"I'm Wan Yusheng, the observation envoy of Juling County. I don't know what you call me, fellow Taoist?"
Wan Yusheng slightly cupped his hands and looked at Chi Xuan who was holding a sword.
Chi Xuan didn't pretend to hide his identity. If he could succeed this time, he would succeed. If he couldn't, he would die here. And he didn't want to be an unknown hero. He at least wanted to make Chi Xuan famous all over the world and let others know about Chi Yang Palace.
"Poverty Taoist Zhang Tianbao, Taoist name Chi Xuan, the master of Chiyang Palace."
Wan Yusheng looked at Chi Xuan in surprise. This was the first time he had heard of the Red Sheep Palace. However, as a true cultivator who was not stained with incense, he was indeed the palace master of a small power, so he was surprised but did not make a fuss.
"I don't think you are a bad person, why do you want to help others do evil?"
Wan Yusheng raised his hand to the upper right and said loudly: "The Great Cang Dynasty lasted for more than four thousand years, and the blue sky is the destiny."
"Since my Taoist friend has the heart to save the world and is a man of profound cultivation, why don't he join the court as an official and bring blessings to the world, but instead do the opposite and disrupt the court's plans?"
