Chapter 151: Brutal Action in Public
Looking at the domineering Acorus on the stage, Lianqiao was stunned.
This was not the quiet woman she knew, this was clearly...
that is……
They are exactly the same as those brothel madams that are rumored in the market!
How did she become like this?! If this were to get out, wouldn't it ruin the Shi family's reputation? It might even implicate the Huang family. Her second brother and second sister-in-law were incredibly affectionate, and her sister was also highly favored by the emperor in the palace. If this were to happen, I'm afraid...
Lian Qiao didn't dare to think too much, and quickly stood up and prepared to fly onto the stage, but Lingxiang grabbed her.
"If you want to argue with her, why don't you help me out?" Lingxiang said as she pulled out two yellow talismans from her bosom. "I heard your magical weapon is a mirror, and the magic of mirror flowers and water moons is even more powerful. Why don't you take this opportunity to help me attach these two talismans to the platform."
Lian Qiao was very confused and asked Ling Xiang about her intention.
"You must be feeling that the person on the stage is a little different than usual. As the saying goes, anything out of the ordinary must be demonic. Don't you want to know what happened to her?"
"You mean..."
Lingxiang smiled at Lianqiao without saying anything. She simply extended the talisman in her hand forward and said, "Just throw this talisman onto the martial arts stage. As soon as it touches the ground, it will form a magic circle that others will not be able to see. If you want to save her, just do as I say."
Upon hearing this, Lian Qiao took the yellow talisman from Lingxiang's hand and stared at it for a long time.
"Will this really save her?"
"Of course." Lingxiang smiled, then turned her back to look at the martial arts stage, and took another pine cone in her hand and started peeling it.
At this moment, Chang Pu on the stage also happened to look at her. Their eyes met for a moment, and she pointed at Mai Dong on the Wangxian Terrace and said:
"I thought the Yuanqing Sect was that powerful, but it's just so-so. Don't try to compete with me as a new disciple. I think that person is a good opponent."
…
Lingxiang kept whipping Yinghuan. The bamboo pole was wrapped in strong wind and made a whistling sound when she swung it. The emerald green color of the bamboo pole seemed to be fluorescent. Others might think it was beautiful, but Yinghuan, who was being beaten, found it even more glaring.
Lingxiang didn't stop and whipped her eleven times in a row. Yinghuan kept wailing, and the Kunwu Sect disciples below the stage were immediately furious when they heard it.
The Yuanqing Sect's followers humiliated the Kunwu Sect disciples in front of them. Did they think that there was no one left in the Kunwu Sect?!
Just as they were about to fly over to stop them, two figures suddenly blocked their way. They were none other than Long Qi and Xin Yi.
"If you want to save her, just watch carefully!" Long Qi roared in a deep voice.
Everyone was very confused when they heard this. It was clearly Changpu who was being beaten and screaming on the stage. How could it be said that he was saving her?
Shao Yuan hurried forward to inquire about the reason. Xinyi glanced at him and replied, "Don't you all notice anything unusual? You are also Taoists. Although you have learned the art of subduing demons, you should also know that anything unusual must be a demon."
Upon hearing this, Shao Yuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment. He had to admit that what Xinyi said made a lot of sense. But even so, there was no reason to put someone on the stage and whip him in public, right?
Taoist Priest Xuantan was also getting a little impatient. After all, Changpu was his disciple. How could a master just sit back and watch him being humiliated like this?
However, Zhenren Qianyuan on the side smiled and once again reached out to stop Taoist Xuantan from standing up.
"Fellow Daoist, do you doubt the Yuanqing sect's method of exorcising demons?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the Taoist Master Chengxin chime in, "Brother Qianyuan, I think Taoist Master Xuantan must trust what you said, otherwise he wouldn't have come all this way to find Yuanqing, right?"
Taoist Xuantan was shocked when he heard this and turned to look at Taoist Qianyuan: "Fellow Daoist, do you know the real purpose of our trip?"
Zhenren Qianyuan just smiled, patted Taoist Xuantan's hand, and smiled without saying anything, signaling him to just sit down.
Taoist Priest Xuantan was skeptical. The shrill screams from the audience made him feel annoyed, but he could see that Taoist Priest Qianyuan seemed to be confident.
"That girl in the audience..."
"That's the true Elder Fu Cang of my Yuanqing Sect." Mai Dong stood up and bowed to Taoist Xuantan, "And I am a disciple of the Yuanqing Elder, Master Fu Yin."
As he spoke, he told Xuantan Taoist everything Lingxiang had planned. Xuantan Taoist was greatly surprised. Firstly, he had never expected Lingxiang, who was so young, to be so scheming and to have planned everything so flawlessly. Secondly, he was surprised that Maidong could have gotten away with it in front of him.
Could it be that I am getting older and am becoming less able to judge people?
He suddenly thought of the look Lingxiang gave him in the Yuanqing Sect's meeting hall. Now that he thought about it, it was probably not a provocation to him, but telling him that she knew the whole story.
It seems that given her status, it is more than enough for her to provoke me.
only……
This method of exorcising the demon is a bit too...
That's a bit too rough...
Taoist Xuantan thought about it and turned his head away from the stage. Shao Yuan looked up at Wangxiantai. Seeing his master like this, he knew that he must know the inside story. After a little thought, he stopped in front of his fellow disciples and said:
"This is a sparring match. Chang Pu on the martial arts stage hasn't shown any intention of admitting defeat. Even if he were beaten to death on the stage, that would be reasonable. On the contrary, if we were to go on stage, it would be against the rules."
The disciples were shocked when they heard this. Shao Yuan usually took good care of Changpu, and everyone in the sect knew how he felt about her. Now that Changpu was being beaten on the stage, how could Shao Yuan have the heart to say such words?
Shao Yuan was naturally heartbroken, but he heard Xinyi's words clearly. Changpu had indeed been acting a little strangely in recent days, but he had never suspected anything else. Now that he thought about it, he realized that he must have been bewitched by something to become like this.
It is hard to say whether what Long Qi said is true, that the man on the stage is saving Changpu.
Shao Yuan glanced at Changpu who was crying and being beaten on the stage, gritted his teeth and turned his head away.
"Rules are rules. Unless Junior Sister Changpu admits defeat, there is no reason to stop her."
As if Yinghua on the stage had heard what Shao Yuan said, she actually started to speak, but it was not a plea for mercy. Instead, she shouted to Taoist Xuantan on the Wangxian Terrace:
"Master! Save me!"
Taoist Priest Xuantan stood up immediately upon hearing this, but this time Zhenren Qianyuan did not try to stop him. Taoist Priest Xuantan just took a few steps and then returned to his seat.
Seeing him like this, Yinghuan cried out, "Master! I am your direct disciple. Being humiliated like this is a slap in your face. Are you going to sit back and watch? The Yuanqing Sect is clearly bullying the Kunwu Sect because they have no one!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. The disciples of Kunwu Sect below the stage immediately became excited, and some even made a move to go on stage and teach Lingxiang a lesson.
"That's right! It's just a competition. You, the Yuanqing Sect, treat our disciples like this in front of us. Do you look down on us?!"
"The competition is over! Are you trying to kill her by hitting her like this?!"
…
The people in the audience were stopped by Long Qi and Xin Yi and could not move forward, so they could only shout like this. Some even wanted to fight with Long Qi and the others, but were stopped by Shao Yuan who was standing beside them.
"How did Senior Brother Shao Yuan become so cowardly? No matter how powerful his Yuanqing Sect is, they would never do this. He's clearly bullying others! He's been bullied to such an extent, do you really expect us to just stand by and watch?!"
Even the disciples of Yuanqing Sect, seeing the scene on the stage, couldn't help but wonder if Elder Fu Cang had gone a little too far. However, since they were disciples of Yuanqing Sect after all, it was difficult for them to criticize him too much.
Lian Qiao rested for a moment and regained some strength. Chang Pu's palm strike had just disrupted her internal energy. Fortunately, Elder Fu Cang used silver needles in time and gave her a pill. She felt much better now, but...
Just looking at Lingxiang acting like this on the stage, she felt that it was really a bit too much.
Just as Lian Qiao was struggling to get up, Banxia grabbed her and held her down.
"Although I've only known Elder Fu Cang for a short time, I believe she's definitely not such a violent person. She always has her own calculations when doing things. Why bother interfering? Have you forgotten the palm strike Chang Pu gave you just now? That palm strike clearly meant to take your life."
"But..." Lianqiao still didn't give up, but Pinellia didn't let go.
"Even if you don't trust Elder Fu Cang, can you not trust me?"
Lian Qiao couldn't help but be stunned. She really didn't know what Elder Fu Cang had done to make Banxia believe in her so much.
Lingxiang on the stage chuckled softly upon hearing what Yinghuan said. She leaned forward, approached the immobilized Yinghuan, and said, "I never thought you were such a man of integrity. You're so good at using your tongue. You've really mastered sowing discord!"
"It seems..."
Lingxiang held a fluorescent green bamboo in one hand and stroked the leaves with the other. She drew out the words but did not continue. Yinhuan shuddered when she heard them, but she could not move her body and could only look at Lingxiang fiercely.
"What do you want?!"
Lingxiang smiled and took a step back: "It seems that you didn't get hit enough."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lingxiang raised the bamboo pole in her hand and hit him hard. This time, she hit him eleven times.
It was already late spring, and everyone had already taken off their heavy clothes. Lingxiang struck flesh with a few sticks, and the sound of flesh hitting flesh was even louder. The people of Kunwu Sect below the stage were both shocked and angry. Some of them even broke away from Shao Yuan's obstruction and started fighting with Long Qi.
The fight was fierce below the stage, but Lingxiang on the stage seemed unconcerned. She only asked Changpu, who was lying on the ground, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Although Yinghuan was exhausted, she still stared at Lingxiang fiercely: "Hmph! Little witch, if one day you fall into my hands, I will make you live a life worse than death!"
But she really didn't know why the woman in front of her could cause her so much pain when she hit her with just a bamboo pole. Lingxiang sneered when she heard this: "Let's not talk about whether I will fall into your hands or not. But now you are in my hands. Since you will treat me like that in the future, I might as well beat you to my heart's content now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he hit him with another eleven sticks.
The Kunwu Sect disciples below the stage were already extremely angry and even shouted obscene words, but at this moment, they heard a faint sound.
"Save...save me...please...save me..."
It was the weak Acorus now! However, she was not speaking to the Xuantan Taoist on the martial arts stage, but was begging Lingxiang!
Hearing this, Lingxiang narrowed her eyes and asked, "Do you know who you are?"
"I... I'm the second daughter of the Shi family... a demon-slayer from Xiangtan... a disciple of Taoist Xuantan from the Kunwu sect... I've been locked up... It's... It's so scary here... Save me..."
Hearing Changpu say this, Lingxiang knew that the time had come. She immediately raised the green bamboo in her hand and pulled it hard. The bamboo pole actually separated from the bamboo joint. It was not until Lingxiang pulled it out completely that everyone could see clearly that it was actually a bamboo sword!
However, the sword body was not made of iron, but a piece of yellowed bamboo, which was carved into the shape of a sword. It looked to be the same size as a real sword.
"Since you want me to save you, you must know that there are some unclean things in your body. But if you want me to save you, you will have to suffer some pain, so you have to endure it." Lingxiang said, waving the sword and pointing it at Changpu.
Upon hearing this, Chang Pu nodded and closed her eyes. As tears fell from the corners of her eyes, she felt a pain between her collarbones.
The people in the audience were also stunned. Lingxiang actually pierced Changpu's throat with a sword!
Taoist Priest Xuantan jumped up in shock and was about to fly to the martial arts arena, but he didn't expect that Taoist Master Chengxin reached out to stop him.
"Fellow Daoist! Elder Fu Cang has already stabbed my disciple like this, and does he really want me to just stand by and watch?!"
Cheng Xin Zhenren smiled calmly, pointed at the bamboo sword in Ling Xiang's hand and said, "Daoyou, you are really worried and confused. Look at the sword, is there any blood oozing out?"
Upon hearing this, Taoist Xuantan looked carefully and found that there was not a trace of blood on the sword that had pierced Changpu's neck.
"This... why is this..."
At this moment, Lingxiang suddenly pinched her fingers together, and the sound of the magic formula from her mouth was deafening. Her clothes were flying, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were sharp. Her usual playful appearance was completely gone:
"The natural world of heaven and earth disperses the foul qi. In the cave, the mysterious void shines brightly, the Tai Yuan.
The mighty gods of the eight directions make me natural. The sacred talisman commands the nine heavens."
As soon as Lingxiang recited the incantation, everyone immediately focused their attention on the stage. As Lingxiang recited the incantation, a faint blue light slowly began to appear on her body!
"Gan Luodana, Dong Gang Taixuan. Slaying demons and binding evil, saving thousands of people.
"Zhongshan Divine Mantra, Yuanshi Jade Text. Reciting it once will cure illness and prolong life."
She continued to chant the Lingxiang spell, and the blue light on her body slowly changed, and she even soared into the air. Although there was no wind, the hem of her skirt was even more flowing, making the Lingxiang spell even more ethereal.
"I will travel through the Five Mountains, and the Eight Seas will know. The demon kings will bow their heads and guard my pavilion. The evil will dissipate and the Dao Qi will last forever!"
With a shout of "Hurry up and obey the order", the bamboo sword was seen shining with golden light, and then the golden light enveloped Changpu's whole body.
"Inside and outside the Three Realms, only the Tao is supreme. If you uphold it ten thousand times, your body will be filled with light!" Lingxiang shouted loudly, and then suddenly pulled out the bamboo sword. There was a flash of golden light, and there was not a single wound on the body of Changpu. Even the bruises that were seen just now disappeared.
Everyone below the martial arts stage was shocked. Lingxiang's appearance just now was like a fairy from heaven. For a moment, they were stunned by the moment.
Long Qi was also unable to recover from his shock. This was the first time he had seen Lingxiang like this. When he was in Youran Residence before, he had always thought that Lingxiang was the kind of Taoist priest who cheated people for food and drink. Seeing her like this today, he realized that she was really helping people to eliminate disasters and solve problems.
This look was deeply imprinted in his heart, and even after many years, he still remembered it clearly.
