Kendo Temple.
When the lightning disappeared.
The Demon-Sealing Tower radiated a dazzling golden light.
Master Qingxu nodded slowly, "What you say makes sense, young friend. I will go into the Demon Locking Tower to take a look."
Qin Luo looked at the Demon-Sealing Tower with curiosity in his eyes, "May I ask if I may go inside with you?"
Master Qingxu, holding a whisk, nodded with a kind smile and said, "Young friend, please."
Qin Luo followed Daoist Qingxu to the Demon Locking Tower. The little dumpling looked at the Demon Locking Tower with fear, after all, she had just heard the ghostly wails inside and knew how terrifying the Demon Locking Tower was.
"I'm so sleepy!"
The little dumpling hid in Qin Luo's pocket.
The Demon-Sealing Tower is a hundred feet tall and has nine floors. The tower is covered with many golden talismans, and there are powerful figures from the Sword Dao Temple around it. Wei Changchun stands in front of the golden gate covered with runes.
Qin Luo followed Master Qingxu to the vicinity.
"Abbot, what brings you here?"
"Let's go in and take a look."
Master Qingxu formed a Daoist finger with his hands, and an array of azure light appeared in front of him. A surge of energy landed on the Demon-Locking Tower, and the originally tightly closed golden gate slowly opened, followed by a gust of yin wind.
Several ghosts tried to escape from the Demon Locking Tower, but Master Qingxu picked up his whisk and waved it lightly, instantly scattering their souls.
Qin Luo followed Daoist Qingxu into the Demon-Locking Tower. The space inside was vast, and the demonic beasts hid in dark corners.
Master Qingxu made a hand seal again.
The surrounding oil lamps lit up at the same time, illuminating the first floor of the Demon-Locking Tower. Qin Luo looked around and saw several skeletons of demons on the ground. Demons often fought amongst themselves inside. The ghosts he had just seen were all transformed from dead demons.
The monsters in the corner were trembling with fear.
The cat demon with bloodshot eyes knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Immortal Master, I know I was wrong, please forgive me."
Wei Changchun said coldly, "The gate of life is right in front of you. If you know you're wrong, why can't you leave?"
Deep within the Demon-Sealing Tower lies a gate of life, upon which hangs a smooth bronze mirror.
Qin Luo looked at the bronze mirror and asked, "Senior, what is the use of that bronze mirror?"
Master Qingxu smiled calmly, “That bronze mirror is a magic treasure left by our ancestor. It can distinguish between good and evil. Any creature with evil intentions will be punished if it gets close to it.”
"interesting."
Qin Luo walked towards the bronze mirror.
The surrounding demons all stared at Qin Luo; for many years, no demon had dared to approach that bronze mirror.
Qin Luo stood in front of the bronze mirror, looking at himself in the mirror. The bronze mirror did not react. He reached out and grabbed the little dumpling's ahoge (cowlick) and pulled her out of his pocket.
No!
The little dumpling held its head in its hands.
The bronze mirror high up did not react.
The little dumpling looked at the bronze mirror without reacting and said smugly, "Hehe, I'm a cultured bird."
Master Qingxu looked around but did not detect the presence of any evil spirits. Wei Changchun took out the demon-capturing bag and released the wolf demon. The wolf demon immediately crawled into a corner. "You wicked creature, you're lucky. The heavenly lightning won't come for another seven days."
Qin Luo saw many white bones on the ground. The surrounding demons did not have any marks of being struck by lightning, but there were many signs of fighting. He was a little puzzled. "Senior, did you deliberately let these demons kill each other?"
Wei Changchun shook his head. "In the Demon Locking Tower, demons who have killed too many will be teleported to the second level. Because of the existence of heavenly lightning, many demons are killed by heavenly lightning."
Master Qingxu noticed something amiss: "These low-level demons have not received the punishment they deserve."
Wei Changchun belatedly realized, "The demons here are so energetic, could there be something wrong with the Demon Locking Tower?"
Master Qingxu shook his head. "There is no problem with the Demon Locking Tower. It seems that you are right, young friend. There are evil spirits in the Demon Locking Tower, evil spirits that can absorb heavenly lightning."
"Evil spirits fear heavenly lightning the most. How can there be an evil spirit that can absorb heavenly lightning?" Wei Changchun's eyes widened.
Master Qingxu walked towards the second floor of the Demon Locking Tower, with Qin Luo following behind him as they went upstairs to check the situation.
The demons on the second floor were clearly much stronger than those on the first floor. A snake demon lunged at Qin Luo, and the little dumpling opened its mouth, spitting out a pure white flame.
The snake demon was burned to ashes.
The surrounding demons were so frightened that they all fled far away.
Wei Changchun's eyes were filled with shock.
"Boss, I'm awesome, right?"
"sharp."
Qin Luo nodded with a smile.
Master Qingxu looked at the little dumpling.
The little dumpling felt a chill run down her spine. She frowned and asked, "Senior... why are you staring at me like that?"
Master Qingxu's expression turned serious. "Legend has it that the birth of the Vermilion Bird signifies an impending great calamity."
The little dumpling scratched its head, looking completely bewildered. "What does the birth of the Vermilion Bird have to do with me, little dumpling?"
Master Qingxu shook his head.
They walked higher up the Demon-Sealing Tower.
Each level of the Demon-Sealing Tower has strong restrictions that limit not only demonic beasts but also cultivators.
The third level of the Demon-Sealing Tower is home to many monsters, many of which bear the marks of being struck by lightning. They are listless, but their eyes still gleam with ferocity.
On the fourth floor of the Demon-Sealing Tower, the number of demons has significantly decreased. They are all bound by heavy chains, and they look at Master Qingxu and Qin Luo with anger but dare not speak out.
On the fifth floor of the Demon-Sealing Tower, there weren't many demons, but they were all powerful demons at the Core Formation stage, each one fierce and menacing. A huge golden lion roared angrily at Qin Luo.
"Try barking again, will you?"
The little dumpling stared with wide eyes.
The air suddenly went quiet, and the golden lion dared not roar anymore, intimidated by the little dumpling's powerful aura.
There was still no trace of evil spirits in the surroundings.
Qin Luo and the others continued upwards, but Wei Changchun remained where he was. The higher they went, the stronger the restrictions became, and the higher the required cultivation level. He did not force his way to the sixth level.
