Chapter 38 Kill the Taoist Priest [New book, please collect it! ]
Li Chu put away his sword and looked at the empty night sky in front of him, feeling a little regretful.
Although he killed the ghost, he didn't gain much. He had a vague feeling that things would not end so easily.
A Qiang turned his head and looked at the empty yard in front of him, beginning to doubt his life.
Where are the walls of my house?
Such a big wall, just disappear like that?
The little Taoist priest's voice interrupted his shock again.
"Please come back with me." Li Chu said.
It would be better not to let Aqiang stay here until his resentment dissipates, to avoid any accidents.
You must be cautious at times like this, after all, human life is at stake.
"Oh." Aqiang stood up quickly.
He was actually a little scared.
But when there is a person in front of you who can clear out everything within ten or even dozens of feet with a sword from the air, it is difficult for you to say no to him.
Li Chu walked in front without saying a word, and he followed behind with his head lowered and his eyes submissive.
After walking around a few streets, Aqiang immediately recognized that this was the road to the county government office.
He bravely asked, "Are you the Lord of Chaotianque?"
"No, I'm from Deyun Temple outside the town." Li Chu shook his head and answered simply.
"Oh, you are Taoist Priest Li, right?" A Qiang remembered immediately.
He had heard people say before that there was a very handsome young Taoist priest in Deyun Temple. When he thought of Li Chu's face, he immediately recognized him.
Then, he suddenly remembered that it was Ah Zhen who told him about this.
Another wave of sadness.
Li Chu knew that he must be very sad, but he was not good at comforting people.
They took him all the way to the county government office, where there were three shifts of yamen runners who had recently stepped up their guard duty, and the chief constable Zhou Dafu led the team himself.
He handed Aqiang over to Chow Tai Fook and left the aftermath to him.
When I returned to the backyard of the government office, I saw Li Xinyi waiting in the yard.
"Solved?"
Li Xinyi knew what he was going to do.
"Well, it went smoothly." Li Chu said.
Li Xinyi looked at him with a complicated expression.
The two of them had just discussed the matter of observing qi the day before yesterday, and I wanted to report to the sect and ask for an expert to come over.
Who knew that he would be able to monitor the entire Yuhang Town tonight.
Just now, Li Chu discovered a place with strong resentment, so he went there in advance to wait for the opportunity, and sure enough, he eliminated a ghost that came to deceive people in one fell swoop.
But……
Li Xinyi really wanted to loudly question the man in front of her.
Why are you so fast?
But she knew that asking would not yield any results.
She had asked about it during the day, and Li Chu told her calmly that he had mastered the mind-eye technique of the blind sword master.
Li Xinyi immediately gave him a charming look.
Desire, want.
When a beautiful woman gives a look like this, not many men can resist.
What's more, Li Chu had no intention of keeping it to himself.
Senior Blind Sword Master is so great that he has spread his unique secret skills into the world. How can I be petty?
So, he carefully took out a hard little pornographic book...
If this book was not taken out by Li Chu, but by someone else, Li Xinyi would definitely think he was a liar.
But Li Chu's expression was so serious that she really believed his lies.
She took the "secret book" from Li Chu as if she was holding some treasure.
But when she saw the cultivation method above, she began to have some doubts in her heart.
Just by closing your eyes and feeling it like this, without any spells, one day you will suddenly be able to sense the breath of all things in the world...
It seems like a lie no matter how you look at it.
Children wouldn't believe this kind of nonsense, right?
But she still practiced according to the above method for a whole day.
Can't feel anything.
It’s really a lie!
But she didn't feel disappointed.
Because that's how it should be, and only a fool would fall for it!
Miss Li jumped up and down.
But Li Chu explained seriously: "To observe the qi, you need a mind and eyes. You don't have it yet. Just feel it slowly."
Indeed, that is what the book says.
But Li Xinyi felt that this sounded like a personal attack...
And no matter how much she doesn't believe it, Li Chu's current ability to see qi is real.
She couldn't refute this.
So angry.
…
The White Bone Mountain and the Corpse Cave.
This place used to be a lush mountain. It is said that during the Battle of Heluo, the army killed more than 100,000 surrendered soldiers from the Southern Kingdom here, and the whole mountain gradually became barren.
Hundreds of years later, a mountain torrent broke out and broke through the mountain wall, and unexpectedly washed out a large number of bones that filled the surrounding areas.
The locals reburied the bones on the mountain, and then worried that it would give rise to evil spirits, so they invited an immortal master from Qingyang Palace, one of the Twelve Immortal Gates, to come and perform a ritual for the place.
From then on, the mountain was called the White Bone Mountain, and the cave where the bones were buried was later called the Corpse Cave.
This went on for hundreds of years.
At this time, the moonlight was slanting in the Corpse Cave.
Reflecting four shadows of different shapes and colors.
To the east, there is a figure sitting, wearing the clothes of the previous dynasty. He is wearing a plain white robe with wide sleeves that flutter in the wind. If you look closely, you will find that there seems to be nothing underneath the clothes.
When he looked up again, he saw a skull on his clothes. White bones, empty eye sockets, and two ghost lights flickering in them.
It raised one hand, and sure enough, it was also a white skeleton.
As it moved its fingers, a loud scream echoed in the cave.
"I bumped into a Taoist priest! Ah——"
The cry ended with a shrill scream.
"This is Lan Cai's message. It just went to Yuhang Town to collect life silver, and only sent back this message. It should have met with an accident by now."
The white skeleton said in a deep and hoarse voice.
"Taoist priest? Is he the Taoist priest who killed so many people in the haunted building?"
Sitting on the south side was a tall ghost wearing heavy armor. The moonlight could not illuminate its face clearly, and only the bloodstains and rust on its armor could be seen. It seemed that it had been there for who knows how many years.
The sound was harsh and unpleasant, like metal rubbing against each other.
"It's most likely him." The white-robed skeleton responded, "After what happened in the Ghost Tower, we were worried that if things continued like this, sooner or later all of our followers who had defected from the Ghost Country would be killed by him, so we sped up the process of collecting the Life Silver. I didn't expect... now even collecting the Life Silver would fall into his hands."
"Stupid! As long as the king's seal is unlocked, those inferior tribes can be as many as you want. So you are too eager to succeed, but end up killing a ghost general! Haha."
Sitting to the west, opposite the skeleton, was an extremely broad figure. He was about three feet tall, and his shoulders were more than ten feet wide. Although his body was human-like, he was clearly not human.
Its voice was also extremely broad and loud, and its sneer echoed in the cave.
“Black Fang!” the white-robed skeleton shouted, “You have to know that it was Lan Cai and I who decided to speed up the collection of life silver. And… it doesn’t mean that we won’t be killed if we don’t rush to unlock the king’s seal. The Taoist priest might be coming for us.”
"That's right."
The last ghost in the cave was sitting in the shadow on the north side. Her voice sounded charming and tender, and it turned out to be a woman.
She said slowly, "How could such a powerful Taoist suddenly appear in this small town in the south of the Yangtze River? Most likely, he is the master of Baiyujing or Qingyang Palace. He found some clues and is watching us from here."
"What should we do now? I want to hear your plans." asked the white-robed skeleton.
The armored ghost in the south said: "The king's seal will be broken soon. All we need is a little more life silver. Why don't we go somewhere else to collect life silver. Even if it's a little far away. As long as it's safe..."
The white-robed skeleton remained silent.
The ghost in the west called "Black Fang" said: "Where else can we hide? Haven't we hidden far enough? I think there will be other cultivators somewhere else. It's just one Taoist priest, so why not just kill him and put an end to it. We always pin our hopes on our king. How can we easily collect life silver? Before that, we might be slaughtered one by one."
The charming woman hesitated and said, "Although this is the case, we still don't know the strength of the Taoist priest..."
Black Fang added, "If he really is a person of great cultivation, he would have come here long ago. How could we sit here and discuss things so calmly?"
"Can……"
The woman was about to say something else, but the white-robed skeleton said, "Okay."
"Black Fang and I agree on this." The white-robed skeleton said, "I also think that killing him early is the best option. He first went to the ghost building and started a killing spree, and now he is trying to stop us from collecting the life silver. It is obvious that he is coming for us. Black Fang is right. We can't always pin our hopes on our king!"
"Hehe." Black Tooth laughed twice.
Its laughter was still echoing in the cave when the white-robed skeleton said:
"Then I'll leave this matter to you, Hei Ya. First investigate the Taoist's background, and then make preparations for the action. You will be in charge of Qing Jia and Hong Ling, and you must ensure that nothing goes wrong!"
Black Fang's laughter stopped abruptly.
It hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Bai Jian, you..."
The white-robed skeleton immediately replied, "I have to stay here to refine the life silver I collected earlier. This is a critical moment and I can't get away. If this matter delays the speed of breaking the seal of my king, it will be more trouble than gain."
"But you are..."
Black Fang wanted to say something else.
Then the white-robed skeleton said, "Black Fang, you can't be unable to do it, right? You just spoke so passionately, I thought you were truly the number one ghost general. If you are afraid, we can also make a long-term plan..."
"How could I be afraid!"
Black Fang roared, stood up suddenly, and strode out of the cave with great force.
The sound of footsteps was as pure as a piece of white paper.
Thanks to "Xiaodong Chongxin" for the reward of 500 yuan.
