Chapter 137: Take the Golden Buddha and Destroy the Holy Father
Wuwang ran too fast.
Since the Cui family set a precedent, the remaining families ran faster than dogs.
"You are so smart to run to the Northern Territory. The Land of Demons is extremely evil. How can we let you continue to thrive? Kill them. You must kill them."
Lin Fan's murderous intent was boiling. He digested part of the demonic energy that he had absorbed earlier, and the rest remained in his body. When needed later, he could use his body refining skills to release it completely.
Below, the Li family's carriage was moving slowly. After entering the Northern Territory, they did not dare to walk around randomly and could only grope forward according to the map left by the Li family's ancestors.
"Li Quanzhang, come here, ancestor." A voice came from the carriage.
Li Quanzhang, who was riding in the carriage, had a normal expression on his face, but hatred flashed in his eyes, like a beast from Tiangang.
The fourth brother, who was supposed to be the next patriarch of the Li family, was beaten to death by the demon Xuan Dian, and the patriarch was also killed, leaving the Li family leaderless. During their escape, who would have thought that a cultivator would emerge from the side room that once had little presence in the clan.
The other party hid very deeply and was nowhere to be seen in the clan all day long. However, it was such a person who actually killed the clan leader on the road, demonstrated his cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining, and directly proclaimed himself as the ancestor, becoming the leader of the Li family.
Li Quanzhang was extremely angry and wanted to kill the opponent at close range with his peak martial arts skills. However, who would have thought that the opponent was well prepared and had cast a curse on him, taking control of his life.
There is no other way but to respect the other party as the ancestor.
"What are your instructions, ancestor?" Li Quanzhang asked in awe.
"How long will it take?"
"Almost there, almost there."
"Send me a young girl from the clan. I want to help her practice."
Hearing this, Li Quanzhang clenched his fists, his eyes turned red with anger, and he wished he could beat the other person to death on the spot. The so-called practice was to absorb the energy and spirit of the women in the tribe. No one knew what kind of evil method he was practicing.
On the way here, three women from the tribe had already been sucked dry and turned into mummies.
This caused the tribesmen who followed him to panic, and they seemed to be planning to escape on their own. If he hadn't forced them to watch, most of them would have left.
It’s not that no tribesman wanted to resist, but they were stopped by him every time.
If he really wanted to kill the other party, who could break the curse on him? The ancestor's unhappy voice came, "Why? Don't want to?"
"No, no, it's just that there are complaints within the clan. If this..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted. The old ancestor's impatient voice came from the carriage, "You can't even make this little sacrifice, and you still want me to protect you. Apart from me, who else can have this level of cultivation?"
Li Quanzhang sighed helplessly, not knowing what to do. Even if they really found a place to live, the Li family would probably become the other party's Li family, and they would all be destined to be enslaved.
The voice of the ancestor in the carriage was not small, and there were clansmen around him, their faces were equally ugly. As they were members of the direct lineage, how could they be willing to let a dog from a concubine ride on their heads?
but……
Suddenly, there was a roar from above. Everyone looked up and saw a black shadow falling quickly from the sky. It landed with a bang, and the fragile ground suddenly cracked, spreading in all directions like a spider web.
"I'm Xuan Dian, hello to all the donors from the Li family. I didn't expect that I have such a good fate with you and we can meet here." Lin Fan looked at the people from the Li family with a smile on his face.
The remnants of the Li family were horrified. They had thought of many possibilities, but they had never thought that they would be intercepted by the Xuan Dian demon in the Northern Territory.
The Li family members who were skilled in martial arts did not even think about it, they just exerted force with their feet and fled.
Lin Fan glanced, his eyes widened, and a bloody murderous light shot out, piercing through the opponent's body. After doing all this, his expression was normal, without any fluctuation, as if he was doing something very ordinary.
However, the remnants of the Li family were frightened and trembling, looking at the evil Taoist Xuan Dian in extreme fear.
Li Quanzhang walked out in despair and said, "Master Xuandian, the Li family has been eradicated by you. Do you really want to kill them all? Don't you even give them a chance to survive?"
Everyone knew Xuan Dian’s terrifying methods, and even the Five Wang ancestors were not his match, so how could they be his match alone?
"Master?" Lin Fan chuckled. "It is not easy to hear me being called Master from you. You have to fight for your own chance to survive, but you have never fought for it. Why do you blame me for killing you all?"
It turns out that only when they are pushed into a desperate situation will they become reasonable.
If this had happened before, who knows how arrogant they would have been.
The Wuwang Family is such a behemoth. To put it bluntly, they are a pair of dark hands that control the world. In their eyes, the common people are not even as good as ants.
Li Quanzhang was speechless. He could only sigh that in the end, it was their Li family's turn.
He had only seen this feeling of powerlessness in others, but had never thought about experiencing it himself.
"Ancestor, how long can you remain calm? The evil Taoist Xuan Dian is coming to kill us, it's time for you to stand up for the Li family." Li Quanzhang turned his head and looked towards the carriage and shouted.
The carriage was very quiet, without any movement.
Ancestor?
Lin Fan looked towards the carriage. The ancestor of the Li family had been killed by him a long time ago, so where did this ancestor come from?
Li Quanzhang climbed onto the carriage and walked into the compartment. The originally calm compartment began to shake, and there seemed to be a tug of war inside.
"Ancestor, come out. Why are you afraid of the demon Xuan Dian here? All the Li family members will face it together with you. Don't be afraid." Li Quanzhang dragged the other party out of the carriage like dragging a dead pig.
Li Han was very scared. He could clearly cast a spell to knock Li Quanzhang away, but now he was just like an old man who was powerless.
Lin Fan was surprised that someone at the fourth level of Qi Refining was actually the ancestor of the Li family. It looked a bit ridiculous.
Li Han noticed Xuan Dian's eyes, how could he dare to be presumptuous, he crawled and rolled to his knees in front of Xuan Dian, begging for mercy, "Master, Master, spare my life, I am not the ancestor, I was pushed up by them, I am just the younger brother of the Li family's concubine."
He really didn't expect that before he could even sit down, the demon Xuan Dian would find this place.
If he had known this, he wouldn't care about the Li family or not.
He had long ago fled to the deep mountains and forests to hide his identity.
Li Quanzhang who was standing aside looked at Li Han with disdain. A guy like him had the aspiration to become the ancestor. He was overestimating his own abilities.
"Ancestor, you represent the face of our Li family. If you kneel, you really kneel. There is nothing to be afraid of. The worst that can happen is death." Li Quanzhang's words were full of sarcasm.
"Shut up." Li Han had absorbed evil air and his mind was a little twisted, but now it was not twisted at all. When facing Taoist Master Xuan Dian, his eyes were clearer and more thorough than anyone else's.
Then he kowtowed to Xuan Dian and begged for mercy.
Even though he had never seen Xuan Dian in person, he knew what Xuan Dian's reputation was. He was a murderer without blinking an eye. Wherever he passed by, if it wasn't a river of blood, that would be the least of his worries.
In the eyes of merit, Li Han's true appearance was hideous and ugly, filled with resentment, and twisted to the extreme. No one knew how many evil things he had done in secret and how many lives he had killed.
"Look up." Lin Fan said.
Li Han seemed to feel that there was hope, and he looked up flatteringly, but there was a flash of a blade before his eyes, and suddenly an axe chopped on his forehead, and the sound of the axe entering the flesh and breaking the bones was very clear.
At the moment before his death, Li Han stared with eyes full of unwillingness.
"You have to admit your mistakes. What's the point of hiding? The world is so small. Besides, I'm very good at running. Won't we meet while running?" Lin Fan smiled, holding the axe that was still dripping with blood. The picture that was formed always seemed weird.
Li Quanzhang felt cold all over. Now that there was no one else in the Li family, he was the only one who could carry the glory of the Li family on his shoulders.
"The Taoist priest is right. The Li family has lived in the mountains for so long that they have long forgotten the situation down in the mountains. As a result, no one knew that the Taoist priest appeared. By the time they knew, it was too late." Li Quanzhang said calmly.
Lin Fan said: "Too late? Actually it's not too late. You five have the chance to kill me, but it's a pity that you don't cherish it."
He looked at the remaining members of the Li family around him and counted their heads carefully, in case he got carried away when the chopping started and missed one or two people.
“Please don’t kill my family.” A child came out with a bitter face and approached Lin Fan step by step, “Master, please let us go.”
The child looked to be about seven or eight years old, not tall and a little short.
Tears welled up in his eyes.
Any compassionate person, like Xuan Dian, would be soft-hearted and feel that this is not right.
The child walked up to Lin Fan. Lin Fan touched the child's head and kneaded it gently, "Child, I..."
sonorous!
The child had an extraordinary dagger in his hand at some point, and stabbed it hard into Xuan Dian's abdomen, but it couldn't penetrate at all. No matter whether he was wearing a Yin-Yang Taoist robe or not, even if the dagger was extraordinary, it couldn't break his defense.
"I will stab you to death. I will stab you to death." The child stabbed like a possessed man.
Lin Fan was unmoved. He still gently stroked his head and said softly, "You are so vicious at such a young age. What will happen when you grow up? You are old enough to understand things. Your character is formed. It is difficult to change good and evil. Although you have a chance to reform, I have to give an explanation to the people you killed."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hand that was gently touching the child's head suddenly exerted force.
With a bang, the palm of the hand released the force downwards.
The child's head was hit directly into the abdominal cavity.
"Well, you are worthy of being a good man of the Li family. You, the evil Taoist Xuan Dian, can even kill a child, but you say that you care about the people, slay demons and monsters, punish evil and promote good. You are the biggest evil demon in this world." Li Quanzhang said angrily.
Lin Fan looked around and found that Daji and Miaomiao were not around. If they were around and encountered this situation, they would naturally argue for me.
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "You naturally cannot understand unless you cultivate to my level."
Li Quanzhang would not beg for mercy from the demon Xuan Dian. He knew that Xuan Dian was extremely murderous and now that he had blocked their way, he would not show mercy. There was no need for him to humble himself and beg for mercy.
sonorous!
李全章持刀,吼道:“你们身为李家之人,该享的福都已经享了,还有何遗憾,拿起武器随我与他拼了。”
话落的那一刻。
林凡随意挥动斧头,斧刃划过对方的颈脖,一颗脑袋悬空而起。
他眼神漠然看向众人,李家之人心乱如麻,手脚发颤,正如李爷所说的那样,玄颠不会放过他们,逃跑不可能逃的走,既然如此,何不将李家所剩的尊严彻底爆发出来。
“杀!!!”
哗啦啦一片李家余孽持刀而来,在这一刻,似乎进入到忘乎所有,只想着与玄颠妖道拼命的状态下,所有的恐惧荡然无存。
“世家众人享受一切,吃喝用度皆染鲜血,如今却怪贫道赶尽杀绝,真是可笑至极。”
面对冲来的众人,他表现的波澜不惊,挥洒掉手中斧刃上的血液,一抬头,持斧而去,没有任何道法的轰炸,仅有一斧斧的挥砍。
没多久,周围很是宁静,仅有马儿落蹄的声音。
现场只有两人存活。
一位貌美年轻女子与怀里的襁褓婴儿。
年轻女子瘫坐在地,美艳的脸皆是惧色,与之不同的是襁褓婴儿保持着安静,并未因为的动静被惊哭。
女子哆嗦着,脸色煞白,似乎体内的所有气血在这一刻被吸干似的。
“道,道长。”
林凡看着她,柔声道:“你与他们不同,不是李家的人?”
“不是,我是李然的妾,我原先也是平民百姓。”
“李然是谁?”林凡问道。
女子颤抖的指向不远处那具尸体。
6◇9◇书◇吧
林凡点点头,并不认识李然,也许只是李家一位无关紧要的人。
“俗话说斩草不除根,春风吹又生,但你别怕,贫道并非滥杀无辜之人,你与这婴儿能活着,便证明贫道没有骗你,无事,贫道带你离开北域之地。”
从下山到现在,他只杀怨煞缠绕的恶人,妖魔鬼怪,别的他是不会碰的,哪怕这婴儿流着李家的血脉也是如此。
“真的吗?”年轻女子不太信,在李家的这两年,她见过太多恐怖的事情,明明当面说没事,背后就下狠手。
人前人后,翻脸无情的人太多了。
她能成为李然的妾,便是因为她的容貌,如果不是容貌,以她的身份如何能入得了李家。
“自然是真的,贫道岂会骗你一个女子。”林凡说道。
“谢道长,道长慈悲。”
“孩子叫什么名字?”林凡交流着,明白刚刚的场景对女子造成的冲击较大,所以需要用话语来沟通,从而让她放下心中的紧张与惶恐。
“李擎天。”
“这名字不太好。”
“请道长赐名。”
“李家作恶多端,天理难容,李祖善吧,曾经的李家被贫道杀绝,便从他这一代开始,弃恶从善,造福苍生。”
“谢道长赐名。”女子明白玄颠道长所说是真,不会伤害她们母子。
林凡点头,随后带着她们离去踏木桩而去,有法力挡在身前,无惧狂风吹袭。
三妖没有离开,依旧在原地等待着,见道长回来欣喜若狂,明白这一路必然很是顺畅,最多就是有惊无险。
见有一女一幼婴跟随,得知情况后,她们明白,这事情肯定只有道长才能做的出来。
林凡带着三妖赶路,顺带着女子跟婴儿,等到了前面县城让她们定居下来就好,如果李家没有被他灭掉,这婴儿自然是锦衣玉食,为此他给这对母子买下居住的房屋,留有些钱财,往后生活便看靠她们自己了。
“道长,我们现在该去哪?”狐妲己问道。
“去找皈无大师。”林凡不愿跟圣父多耽误时间,如今五望全灭,黄天教南部不复存在,人世间最大的祸害是谁,必然是圣父。
与其跟他磨磨蹭蹭,倒不如直接动手,杀到其总部,将其彻底掀翻。
“可我们去哪找大师啊?“
天大地大,谁知道大师去哪,这寻找起来怕不是大海捞针。
“不急,贫道跟大师颇有缘分,走着走着就能见到。”林凡笑着说道。
……
大法王寺山脚下。
“皈无大师,你可是佛门高僧,万万不能堕入魔道,你怎么跟玄颠道长一样,杀心如此之重了,这还是小僧熟知的大师吗?”皆空有些急。
他到处找郑家要钱打造锡杖跟金袈裟,却没想到遇到皈无大师,本以为能跟大师唠嗑一两句,谁能想到大师心境有所变化。
杀心很重,手中的锡杖染着血,每走一步,鲜血都会挥洒到地上。
而且原先穿着鞋子的大师,如今却是赤脚,脚下血肉模糊,一步一血印。
皈无没有理睬皆空,抬头看向山上的大法王寺,提着锡杖向着山上而行,皆空跟随在后面,一直小声念诵着佛经,希望能以自身渺茫的佛法造诣度掉大师心中的魔性。
用是没什么用处,但他还得这般做。
不为什么。
为的就是曾经大师在他小时候度化他,而他也该在学有所成的时候回报给大师。
“大师,不能造杀孽了,您是佛门高僧,本该慈悲为怀,可现在呢,自从您与玄颠道长相识,一切都变了啊,他玄颠魔性耕种,小僧数次凭借肉身之力才堪堪化解他心中的戾气。”
“实在不行,大师揍我吧,揍完或许能舒服点。”
皆空在皈无耳边叨叨着。
皈无摇着头,不想理睬对方,被玄颠道友怒揍实属正常,耳边没个清净,实在是太烦了。
但他知道皆空是好心。
皈无停下脚步,看向皆空,“你不去找郑家要钱财打造锡杖了?”
皆空叹息道:“大师这般情况,小僧还有什么心情离去,小僧必须陪伴在大师身边,直到小僧度掉大师心中的魔性。”
“……?”
皈无继续赶路,来到山上,四周杂草丛生,寺庙大门紧闭,门漆掉落,显得很是荒凉落寞。
推开门,寺院的地砖缝隙早有野草生长出来,周围静寂无声,甚至连一缕香火气味都没有。
“法照大师可在?”
依旧没有声音传来。
皈无朝着佛殿里走去,进去的那一刻,他便被盘坐在蒲团上的一道身影吸引,或者说不该是身影,而是一具双掌合十的骨架,骨架背对着大门,对准佛台上的佛像。
皈无心惊,曾经他来此地,寺内是有不少僧人的,可如今为何连一个人影都没有,仅有一具骨架在这里?
莫非有谁曾经偷偷前来将大法王寺给灭掉了不成?他走到骨架面前,放下手中锡杖,双掌合拢,“阿弥陀佛。”
大师看到木鱼下压着一封信,拿到手中,拆开信封,看着信中内容。
看完信后的皈无久久未能回神,信中内容是法照大师留给他的,告知他大法王寺的情况,自从得到他的庇护后,寺庙的生活好了许多,能有更多的时间参佛礼佛。
但寺中和尚心不宁,六根不净。
山下五望妖魔一直来蛊惑寺庙和尚,无法静心,彻底入了魔道,造下不可饶恕的罪孽,身为寺庙方丈的他无能为力。
深知这些五望妖魔妄图坏皈无大师佛心,如此下作手段,岂能容忍。
因此,法照大师在寺中众僧入睡的时候,锁住房门,放火将他们烧死在里面。
法照无言面对皈无,便在佛殿中打坐,绝食坐化,只求佛祖宽恕他犯下的罪孽。
皈无在这段时日,去了许多寺庙,所见所闻对他心境造下极大的冲击,本想护住佛门寺庙,没想到却是在助纣为虐。
皆空踮着脚尖,站在大师身后,将信中内容看得一清二楚,“阿弥陀佛,大师,这位法照大师真乃是佛门高僧,只是可惜,竟然无法度化身边的弟子,如果小僧知道这里的情况,必然助法照大师一臂之力。”
皈无将信收好,走出佛殿,站在门口,抬头看向天空。
“玄颠道友说得对,世道如此,浑浊不堪,佛门置身事外如何修行,斩妖除魔,匡扶正道,才是真正该做的。”皈无大师对天说道。
“大师,您这是怎么了?万万不能跟那玄颠学啊。”皆空急的很。
如今这世道为何这般该死。
连皈无大师这样的佛门高僧都能受其影响,莫非真只有我皆空才是清醒的吗?皈无完全将皆空当做透明人。
依旧没有理睬,朝着山下而去。
“大师,去哪?”皆空在后面追赶着。
走到寺庙门口的皈无道:“找玄颠道友。”
“找他做什么?”
他虽然愿意用肉身度化玄颠,但还是较为抗拒被揍的情况,所以能不遇见最好就别遇到。
“杀妖人。”
“妖人?妖人是谁?”
“黄天教圣父。”
皈无知道五望被除,仅剩圣父,但圣父之能非同一番,以他对玄颠道友的了解,必然要将圣父灭掉。
“啊?那一位?大师,莫要冲动,你连金佛都不在身边,如何是圣父的对手。”
“取金佛,降圣父。”
Jiekong stood there in a daze, looking at Master Guiwu's departing back, then he came to his senses and hurriedly followed, "Master, wait for me. I am willing to go with you."
"Jiekong, don't follow me. I want to go find fellow Taoist Xuandian."
"It's okay. I can save him again."
