Chapter 262
When Yuan Jing arrived, Qingli was also injured by the black snake demon. Wei Mo was unable to show off his strength this time and tried to escape while supporting Qingli.
He did not dare to flee to the county town, fearing that he would bring disaster to the people there, so he fled in the opposite direction, which caused Yuan Jing to chase him for a longer distance. Seeing the traces of the black snake demon's original form and the burnt and smelly soil along the way, Yuan Jing threw Ji Jinghuai onto a nearby tree and said, "Stay here first, I'll be back soon."
Ji Jinghuai wanted to shout, but he didn't dare to, for fear of attracting the black snake demon. Looking at the traces on the road, one could tell how powerful the black snake demon was. It had a profound cultivation level and was also a poisonous snake. All the flowers and plants along the way were poisoned to death.
Ji Jinghuai held the tree trunk obediently and looked forward. He saw Yuan Jing's small figure floating away after a while, and felt very envious.
When Yuan Jing arrived, he saw Qingli protecting Wei Mo behind him, preparing to take out his inner elixir and die together with the black snake demon. Even if they could not die together, at least he could buy Wei Mo some time to escape. The black snake demon was furious and was about to whip him with his tail.
“Humph, if you dare to do evil under my nose, you have to ask my opinion, not to mention that this is a monster I am protecting!” Yuan Jing rushed forward with a cold face, waved his hand and threw out several talismans, “Five Thunder Talismans, blow them up!”
"Crack! Boom!"
Several Five Thunder Talismans were activated at the same time, and bolts of lightning struck the body of the black snake demon below, instantly leaving wounds on the snake's body. Qingli and Wei Mo were almost knocked unconscious, because no matter whether they were ghosts or goblins, they were afraid of the strongest and most masculine lightning in the world. However, if they wanted to take another step forward, they would have to accept the test of thunder tribulation.
"Who? Who dares to hurt this king!" The black snake demon was furious after being hit by the thunder talisman.
Wei Mo was dizzy and was the first to see the young Taoist priest. He shouted in surprise, "Young Taoist priest, run away! This black snake is very powerful and it is not so easy to deal with."
The talisman paper that the young Taoist priest gave him before saved him, and now he came again. Yuan Jing's position in Wei Mo's heart became very tall.
Yuan Jing did not retreat but advanced, shouting, "You guys step back, so as not to hurt yourself by mistake!" The magic formula he used must be able to restrain the monster.
Wei Mo wanted to persuade him, but Qing Li saw things more clearly than he did. She dragged him and ran out: "Listen to the Taoist priest. Since you dare to come here, you should know the ability of this black snake. Let's take a rest first and see if we can help you later."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. It's all my fault for being useless." Wei Mo hated his own incompetence. He had practiced for so many years, but he couldn't even take on a single move from the black snake demon.
"So you are the little Taoist priest that the little yellow bird mentioned. There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no door to hell but you insist on breaking in. Haha, I haven't tasted the taste of a Taoist priest for many years. Now one is delivered to my door, and he is such a fresh little Taoist priest. God is on my side this time. I will deal with you first and then go find those two guys. They can't escape from the palm of my hand." The black snake demon laughed triumphantly when he saw Yuan Jing appear on his own initiative.
"You talk so much, you are destined to be a villain. Look at my thunder talisman, the sky thunder talisman, boom!"
Yuan Jing attacked with several more talismans. The black snake demon was caught off guard and was hit, but the five thunder talismans did not hurt him at all, so the black snake demon arrogantly ignored the thunder talismans and continued to pounce on Yuan Jing, trying to wrap his body around his and strangle him to death.
Yuan Jing made an explosion gesture, and the talismans exploded above the black snake demon's head. Suddenly, a group of silver snakes flew around, which was completely different from the previous Five Thunder Talismans.
Qingli and Wei Mo, who were running, looked back and almost fell to the ground due to their weak legs.
"This... this is..." Wei Mo had little experience, but he felt that the thunder and lightning were extremely powerful.
Qing Li broke out in a cold sweat. "This is the Xiantian Five Thunder Talisman. I didn't expect that this young Taoist priest would have such a powerful Taoist technique at such a young age. Maybe his elders gave him the talisman paper."
Dense silver snakes wrapped the black snake demon, ignoring the hard skin on the black snakes' bodies and drilled into his body. The black snake demon screamed, and Ji Jinghuai, who was holding the tree branch from a distance, shuddered and almost let go and fell from the tree.
He quickly hugged her tightly, and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his free hand: "This is the young Taoist showing off his power, too fierce." Seeing the two monsters running towards him supporting each other, Ji Jinghuai waved his hand and called out, "Hey, come here quickly, I'm here with young Taoist Yuan to save you and get rid of the black snake monster."
Qingli and Wei Mo then discovered that there was a person hiding on the tree. Seeing that there was no magical power on him, they couldn't help but frown. A mortal actually had the audacity to say that he came to save them and get rid of the monster. However, since he was brought by the young Taoist priest, they could not ignore his safety, so they ran to meet up with Ji Jinghuai.
"Is the young Taoist priest really here to save us?"
"Of course, the young Taoist priest found out that you three monsters were leaving the city, so he quickly took me out. As soon as we left the city, he said that you three monsters were fighting, and then he rushed over quickly. The young Taoist priest is very powerful, so don't worry, the young Taoist priest can definitely get rid of the black snake monster." Ji Jinghuai spoke quickly.
Qingli and Wei Mo looked at each other and felt very relieved. Fortunately, the young Taoist priest found the trace of the black snake demon and rushed over. Otherwise, if they had been a step later, they would have become food for the black snake demon.
In the past, they always thought that people were scary, but after seeing what the young Taoist priest did and what Huang Li did, the two demons felt that there are bad people, but there are also good people and good Taoist priests like the young Taoist priest.
This time the black snake demon was really injured by the innate five thunder talisman, which made him very angry. It had been a long time since he had been injured so badly, and he was injured by such a tiny thing.
The Innate Five Thunder Talisman is an advanced talisman. The Black Snake Demon has the same idea as Qingli and the others. This was given to Yuan Jing by his Taoist elders for self-defense. He doesn't believe that a little guy like Yuan Jing can take out so many Innate Five Thunder Talismans.
Having escaped from the silver snake lightning, the black snake demon angrily spat out its snake core towards Yuan Jing, and a foul-smelling black air was about to hit him in the face.
"Palm thunder!" Yuan Jing sent out with his right palm, and a talisman appeared in his palm. With a click, a golden lightning struck towards the open snake's mouth. The black snake was caught off guard and its mouth was struck. It hissed and struggled on the ground, knocking over several nearby trees.
Further away, two Taoists walking in the mountains stopped.
"Master, are there Taoists fighting over there?" the young Taoist exclaimed.
"No, it's the Taoist priest and the demon fighting. Wow, the Taoist priest's thunder magic is pure and powerful, and the demon is a big demon. It is very likely the black snake demon that we have been looking for. The black snake demon is actually at a disadvantage. Quick, let's go and see which Taoist is exorcising the demon."
"Yes, Master."
The two men hurried towards the center of the fight.
The palm thunder struck the snake's head, but this time it was not like the previous ones where it could be done with just a few hits, because the head was also the place where the snake's soul resided. This strike struck his soul. Yuan Jing took the opportunity to pull out his magic whip and lashed it again and again. The black snake demon struggled even harder. The screams made Qingli and Wei Mo huddle together, trembling. It was too scary.
"What are you afraid of? Taoist Priest Yuan is eliminating the harm to the people. Taoist Priest Yuan said that this black snake demon has committed many evil deeds and is deeply sinful. Now that he has encountered it, he must eradicate it." Ji Jinghuai kindly comforted them.
Qingli and Wei Mo looked at each other, wanting to cry but without tears. When did such a powerful Taoist appear in the Taoist world? Fortunately, this Taoist priest was not the extreme kind of cultivator who would get rid of all the monsters. As long as they did not do evil, he would even help the monsters. Having such a powerful Taoist priest was actually good for the monster world.
But they just couldn't control their trembling, because traditionally, demons and Taoists are in opposition, and Taoists always talk about slaying demons and eliminating evil.
When the master and disciple arrived at the center of the fight, they saw only a very thick dead black snake. Apart from the initial wounds caused by the Five Thunder Talisman and the Innate Five Thunder Talisman, there were no other scars on its body. However, the screams of the black snake they heard along the way made them realize that the black snake demon had endured a lot of pain before it died.
What shocked them the most was that the Taoist priest standing next to the black snake corpse looked like a young boy in his early teens. When did such a young and powerful Taoist priest appear? Or was he an old monster who had rejuvenated for some reason?
The bearded master stepped forward and gave Yuan Jing a Taoist salute: "My fellow Taoist is respectful. How do you address me?"
Yuan Jing didn't expect that the fight with the black snake would attract two Taoists. Seeing the Taoist robes they were wearing, Yuan Jing returned the greeting and said, "You two are Taoist friends from the Qingcheng Taoist Temple, right? I am Yuan Jing from the Liuzhuang Taoist Temple. I am about to go to the Qingcheng Taoist Temple to deliver a letter to the temple master for my master. My master's Taoist name is Bixu."
The two Taoists were shocked again. The master said, "Little Taoist friend, are you the disciple that Taoist Bixu accepted back then?"
"That's right. Master has only me as his disciple. There should be no one else besides me." Yuan Jing said with a smile.
The two Taoists suddenly felt that they had lived in vain all these years. Was this black snake demon so easy to eradicate? Even if they worked together as master and apprentice, they might not be able to eliminate the other party. But now, a young Taoist who was only ten years old had dealt with the black snake demon. Looking at the corpse, the means were clean and neat, and he always had the upper hand, leaving the black snake demon no chance to escape. He must have felt very aggrieved before he died.
"I didn't expect that Taoist Bixu would accept such a talented disciple. This is a case of a good teacher producing a talented disciple. Our temple master also mentioned Taoist Bixu a few days ago."
Since they knew each other, there was no need to be too polite, because Taoist Bixu had a very good relationship with the abbot of Qingcheng Temple. If they met Taoist Bixu's disciples, of course they would take care of him. Besides, this person didn't need their care at all. With such magical powers, they would probably be at a disadvantage. No wonder Taoist Bixu was in such a good mood after accepting him as a disciple, and he had been hiding him all these years. He must have wanted his disciple to make a name for himself.
They exchanged Taoist names. The master was Taoist Qingfeng, and the disciple was Taoist Ninghe. Although Yuan Jing was young, he was of high seniority, so he and Taoist Qingfeng called each other brothers. Taoist Ninghe was obviously older than Yuan Jing, but he had to call him uncle, but he was convinced by the call.
Since Yuan Jing was going to Qingcheng Temple to deliver a letter, they could go together, so Taoist Qingfeng invited Yuan Jing to go with him.
"There's more demonic energy?" Before Yuan Jing could answer, Taoist Qingfeng suddenly felt that there was more demonic energy approaching and became alert.
Yuan Jing knew that it was Qing Li and Wei Mo who came over. He said, "There are two monsters, but they are two friends I met in the county ahead. They were being chased by this black snake monster, and I just happened to come here to help them."
Yuan Jing realized that the two had stopped and didn't dare to come over because they sensed that someone outside was coming, so he called out, "Master Wei, Master Ji, come over here."
"good."
Ji Jinghuai wanted to come over after he knew that the black snake demon had been dealt with, but the two demons held him back. They were afraid that the black snake demon would eventually rebound and hold Yuan Jing back, so they waited for a while.
But they found that two more Taoists appeared. The two monsters were a little worried that the two Taoists would not be able to accept their presence, so they became timid. But Yuan Jing called them over, and they did not delay any longer and walked over. They trusted Taoist Yuan Jing.
"Two monsters and an ordinary person?" Taoist Qingfeng asked in surprise.
Yuan Jing introduced: "This is my friend Ji Jinghuai, Mr. Ji, whom I met during my travels. These two live in the county town ahead. They opened a herbal medicine shop. They usually practice medicine to save people and often go into the mountains to collect herbs."
Taoist Qingfeng looked the two monsters from head to toe. Although Yuan Jing's magic power was stronger than his, in his eyes, he was still young and was afraid that he would be fooled by the monster. But after looking at them carefully, he felt relieved. The aura of the two monsters was indeed very pure, and one of them was a herbal monster. This kind of monster would never commit murder.
"I see. You two are fellow cultivators. Qingfeng is honored to meet you."
"You're too polite, Taoist priest." Qingli and Wei Mo were flattered.
"Brother Qingfeng, why don't you come with us to the county town to rest for a while, and then set off for Qingcheng Taoist Temple together tomorrow?" Yuan Jing invited.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you, Junior Brother."
They picked up the black snake corpse on the ground and burned everything except the inner elixir and the snake skin. Because it was too poisonous, the three Taoists also cleaned up the snake venom produced by the black snake demon. Otherwise, this area would probably be barren for a long time.
Then three Taoists, an ordinary person and two monsters went back to the county town together. The two monsters fell behind. It was very stressful to get along with three Taoists. Ji Jinghuai did not interrupt Yuan Jing and Taoist Qingfeng when they were talking. He was eloquent when walking with the two monsters. Under his leadership, the two monsters were not so nervous anymore.
Taoist Qingfeng was talking to Yuan Jing while secretly observing the situation of the two monsters. He finally felt relieved after seeing this scene. Although Junior Brother Yuan Jing was young, he still had good eyesight.
Yuan Jing told about the Yellow Bird Monster's behavior, and Taoist Qingfeng was very unhappy: "Wait until we get to the county, I will go and meet her! This kind of monster has evil thoughts and a limited future. Sooner or later, she will suffer the consequences of her actions."
