The Taoist temple was quite popular, but not many people came. Xuan Chen still had the heart to help others, and would go out from time to time to help people solve the problems of evil spirits and monsters, and sometimes he would bring some food or copper coins.
During a demon-killing expedition, Xuan Chen picked up Jiang Mubai, who was also his youngest disciple.
In fact, Taoist Xuanchen has a secret, which is his past. His master is an evil cultivator named Jiang Yun. He bought him from a kidnapper and originally wanted to let him do odd jobs, but he accidentally discovered that he had good talent, so he accepted him as a disciple. However, Xuanchen was devoted to doing good deeds, and even his master could not do anything about it. Over time, he just let him go. After his master died, he left that place and chose the path of saving people.
Xuan Chen is a serious and conservative person, and the several disciples he taught also have his shadow.
The most serious case was Li Buyan. He often distributed the herbs he collected to the villagers at the foot of the mountain. When he met beggars begging for food, he would share half of his food with them even if he was hungry.
One year, there was a famine in the village outside the mountain. Someone came to the door to complain. Taoist Xuanchen opened the grain jar that had been stored in the temple for a long time without saying a word. It was given to him by a wealthy family when he helped them exorcise evil spirits. He distributed all the grain without leaving any, and the four of them, master and apprentice, almost starved to death.
A wandering monk passed by and claimed that he had encountered a disaster. They gave him the silver and money they had saved, completely ignoring the fact that the monk's words were full of loopholes.
Baiyun Temple had a very bad reputation, but that was just how they appeared to be. Everyone laughed at them, calling them weaklings and pushovers. Even Xuan Chen didn't take it seriously when he heard it. He believed that a cultivator should be like this.
He taught his disciples: "Everyone has difficult times. What I want you to cultivate is your mind. Don't lose the essence of goodness because of a little gain or loss."
Although life is hard, it is stable. Once the door is closed, the rumors outside will disappear.
But one day someone came to the door. It was a young monk who called himself Li Jia. He wanted to stay for a while. Xuan Chen had no reason to refuse and enthusiastically settled him in the temple.
This stay brought disaster. First, Li Buyan found that Li Jia was wandering around the temple with or without work. Although he was puzzled, he did not think much about it. Then Xuan Chen found signs of rummaging in his room. There was no one else in the temple except the four masters and apprentices. It was obvious who did it, but Xuan Chen still did not say anything. Instead, he asked Li Jia indirectly whether he had encountered any difficulties.
Li Jia talked about the difficulties he encountered in practicing cultivation. Xuan Chen listened to him and spent a lot of time discussing cultivation with him. He also trusted Li Jia more.
So when Li Jia proposed to pray for the villagers at the foot of the mountain, Xuan Chen fully agreed.
So the four masters and apprentices followed Li Jia to the village at the foot of the mountain, and even helped him set up a battle formation. It was not until the battle formation emitted a black aura rising into the sky that Xuan Chen realized something was wrong, but it was too late. Li Jia had put a poison in the porridge they drank in the morning, and the four masters and apprentices fell to the ground due to the poison.
Xuan Chen couldn't believe why Li Jia wanted to harm him for no reason. Li Jia laughed loudly: "Evil cultivator! Even if you pretend to be an ordinary person, you think you can fool me? My name is not Li Jia, my name is Xiao Yunche!" Xiao Yunche took out something and threw it on the ground, "It's a pity that your master is dead, but don't worry, I have killed your junior brother, you just wait and go down to keep him company!" That was the ear of junior brother Xuan Chen.
He did not kill them immediately, but shouted. The villagers were disturbed and came out to see what was happening. When they saw the distorted faces of Xuan Chen and his apprentice, and the formation emitting black smoke, and heard Xiao Yunche's words, they were horrified. They had never expected that these four evil cultivators could hide so well!
Soon, the sudden death of cattle, the loss of chickens, and the sudden death of children from sudden illnesses in the village were all blamed on them. The four, now speechless, stared at the villagers in disbelief, and even the familiar faces became hateful.
"They've reaped the fruits of their own actions, consumed by the evil spirit!" Xiao Yunche shouted. Some villagers came over to thank him profusely. Xiao Yunche relished this moment. He watched the four struggling people and said, "If you want to blame someone, go down and blame your master."
Xiao Yunche also became famous for killing the evil cultivator Jiang Yun and his family. Soon, some forces extended olive branches to him, and he successfully embarked on his own bright road.
"His death was well deserved." Fang Zhiyi commented, "Is there something wrong with this Xiao Yunche?" He just noticed that a tiny ray of light was sucked from the bodies of Master Xuanchen and his disciple into Xiao Yunche's body.
"Yes, this kid is bound to a system, but he himself doesn't know it and thinks it's some kind of divine object."
Fang Zhiyi nodded: "Who am I?"
Xiao Hei shook himself: "You are Xuan Chen's junior apprentice."
