I have just been promoted to Qianhu, and I was shocked to hear that this is a Liaozhai!

Chapter 104: Picking Stars in Mount Laoshan (Updated update, please subscribe)
In the [-] Mountains.

early morning.

Zuo Dao walked out of a cave, looked at the brightening sky outside, and stretched slightly.

Last night, he finally understood the will in the mind of the physical Buddha.

The left and right are just a bunch of new-born minds.

Perhaps it was due to the essence of soul power extracted by Zuo Dao through mind-earth observation when it was opened before, and it was naturally derived over time.

Although spiritual wisdom is born in the mind of a physical Buddha, it really has to wait until it becomes like an ordinary person.

It can range from decades to hundreds of years.

Moreover, even if the will is the same as that of ordinary people, the final control still lies with Zuodao.

Leftists are not afraid that the Buddha in the flesh will bite him back.

He looked around and found that the shadow of Qinglong Peak was no longer visible here, and the surroundings were silent.

The physical Buddha had been carrying him on his back for such a long time, and he no longer knew where he had fled.

Zuo Dao jumped to the top of an ancient tree, looked at it from a high place, and then walked towards the exit he had in mind.

This journey lasted several days.

Along the way, he also encountered a large demon territory.

It was a leopard spirit. The moment it broke into its territory, it wanted to open its mouth and swallow it into its belly.

But as soon as the leopard spirit opened his mouth, he was knocked unconscious by a slap from Zuo Dao.

After finally waking him up, Zuo Dao also learned from his mouth the location of the exit of Shiwanda Mountain.

He rode directly on the leopard spirit and ran towards the exit.

It has to be said that even when the physical Buddha escaped, he had already tried his best to run towards the edge.

But it still caused the left path to deviate.

Even with the leopard spirit as his mount, Zuo Dao walked in the mountains for three full days.

On the edge of the exit.

Zuo Dao stepped off the leopard spirit and looked into the distance, seeing the rare broad plain.

He waved his hand casually and said: "I am in a good mood today. I hope you have not committed any murders in the mountains, so run away for your life!"

When the leopard spirit heard this, he immediately turned around and ran towards the depths of Shiwanda Mountain.

Zuo Dao walked directly towards the outside of Shiwanda Mountain.

The physical Buddha carried him on his back before escaping, and the time it took for him to come out was almost half a month.

I don’t know what Linya Mansion looks like now.

He walked out of Shiwanda Mountain and walked for several days before arriving at a remote town.

The town is called Qingshan Town, located on the other side of Linya City, about hundreds of miles away.

If you want to go to Linya City, you may have to walk for a long time.

Zuo Dao was walking in the town, found a restaurant and walked in.

He had changed out of his official uniform before he left the mountain and put on a black outfit, holding a long snake bone knife.

When the waiter saw Zuo Dao approaching, he hurriedly greeted him and said with a flattering face: "Please come in, sir, do you want to be a top or stay in the hotel?"

Zuo Dao casually threw out a piece of silver and said, "Everything is needed. First, put a table of good food and wine on the table and arrange a room for the guest."

The waiter in the shop took the silver, and his face suddenly showed a hint of joy.

Then he quickly led Zuo Dao to a seat by the window and said, "Sit down and wait for a while, I will make arrangements right now."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Afterwards, Zuo Dao was served a bottle of wine and a few dishes of side dishes to go with the wine.

Zuo Dao sat there, sipping the wine in the pot, and couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart.

He never dreamed that he would follow orders and go into the mountains to fight for the Qinglong Tao Seed, but in the end he would be given such a great opportunity.

The Qinglong Dao Seed and White Tiger Dao Seed were incorporated into the body and completely refined.

He also created a Taoist foundation for him.

According to the current speed at which Dao Ji fuses the two energies in his body, it will only take a few days at most for the true energy and mana in his body to be completely fused.

After being purified by Taoji, it becomes another special energy.

He didn't know how to call it, so he just called it "spiritual power" for the time being.

This spiritual power combines the characteristics of true energy and magic power, and is extremely powerful. The most important thing is that it can be used in both martial arts and magical powers.

It seems that after he returns to Linya City, he needs to make some secret inquiries to see if there are any books recording such situations.

This would allow him to figure out the way forward.

soon.

The waiter served a table full of wine and food, and then said "please use it with ease" before carefully leaving.

Zuo Dao looked at the food and wine in front of him and moved his index finger for a moment.

Although he also had banquets bought in Linya City in the mountains, he had long been tired of eating them every day.

Now I take this opportunity to change my taste.

What's more, after staying in the mountains for such a long time, I will stop my journey today and have a good night's rest. I will buy a horse tomorrow and return to Linya City.

Just as Zuo Dao was drinking for three rounds, a man dressed as a shepherd came from outside.

The waiter came up to us, looked out the door, and said, "Sir, your sheep and donkeys must be tied up, otherwise we will not be responsible for them if they are lost."

The shepherd smiled and said: "I know, please bring me a bowl of Yangchun noodles and a bowl of mash."

Hearing the shepherd's words, the waiter took a few big dumplings from the other man's hand and shouted to the kitchen: "One bowl of Yangchun noodles and one bowl of glutinous rice noodles."

The shepherd came to sit down not far from the door of the restaurant, and occasionally glanced at the outside of the restaurant.

It seems that he is afraid that someone will steal his sheep and donkey while he is eating.

Zuo Dao narrowed his eyes slightly, and he could see a trace of the same aura as mana from the shepherd.

It seems that this shepherd also has some skills.

Seemingly seeing that Zuo Dao had almost eaten, the waiter came closer and said with a smile: "Guest, your upper room has been tidied up. When do you want to rest?"

Zuo Dao waved his hand casually and said: "It's still early, you can go down first."

The waiter responded and walked out.

As soon as Zuo Dao stood up, he saw the herdsman not far away suddenly turned his head to look. After discovering Zuo Dao's powerful armor and long knife, he smiled and nodded.

Then he continued to eat noodles with his head down, sometimes looking back towards the outside of the restaurant.

Upon seeing this, Zuo Dao walked directly outside the restaurant.

I saw a few goats and donkeys tied to wooden stakes on the side of the restaurant, but these goats and donkeys looked a little weird.

After seeing Zuo Dao sizing them up, one by one they started shouting at Zuo Dao.

Zuo Dao walked forward and came to a goat to observe carefully. He saw that there were also subtle fluctuations in mana on the goat.

This makes it a little strange.

At this moment, the shepherd who was still eating noodles in the lobby seemed to have seen Zuo Dao stop for a long time.

He immediately stood up and walked over, saying, "Friend, these are goats and donkeys that I just bought, so they are not very obedient and make you noisy." After saying that, he pulled out his whip and pointed at the goats. He hit the donkey and cursed him while beating him back.

Seeing this, Zuo Dao smiled and said: "It's okay, they are just some inhumane beasts."

The shepherd smiled at him, then untied the rope, led the goats and donkeys and walked out of the town.

Zuo Dao's eyes moved slightly, and then he followed him quietly.

It's just that the other party didn't seem to be very willing to leave the town, and instead came to a slaughterhouse on the edge of the town.

Standing outside the slaughterhouse and negotiating the price with the boss.

Just when the shepherd was about to collect the money, Zuo Dao walked out of the darkness and came closer. He glanced at the goats and donkeys and said, "You dare to collect these animals?"

When the butcher heard this, he looked strange and said: "This is what I do, why don't you dare to accept it?"

"Go and find out how many people from all over the country eat the meat I kill."

A flash of panic flashed in the shepherd's eyes, and he quickly urged the butcher to give him money.

But Zuo Dao asked, "How many times has this man come to your place to sell livestock?"

The butcher thought about it carefully and said: "This guy looks unfamiliar, as if it's his first time here, but the price is affordable, so you won't lose money if you buy it."

Saying that, he asked for money.

Seeing this, Zuo Dao raised his feet and walked towards the shepherd.

The shepherd's expression changed drastically, and he was about to let go of the rope and run away.

Zuo Dao raised his foot and kicked out a stone, hitting the crook of the shepherd's leg and knocking him to the ground.

When the butcher saw this, he was so frightened that he backed away.

Zuo Dao stepped forward and was about to capture the shepherd.

Then he saw several needles and threads suddenly shot out of the opponent's hand, heading straight for Zuo Dao's face.

A look of surprise flashed across Zuo Dao's face, then he raised his hand to knock off the needles and threads, and came to the shepherd.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Which sect of warlock are you from?"

When the shepherd heard this, he was shocked and said: "What are you talking about? I don't even understand what you are talking about?"

Zuo Dao chuckled lightly, raised his foot and kicked off his hands and feet, then took the shepherd's collar and came to the butcher.

He threw the shepherd aside and said to the butcher, "Go get a few bowls of water."

The butcher was originally holding a sharp deboning knife and was still looking at Zuo Dao with a defensive expression.

Hearing Zuo Dao speak at this moment, a stern look suddenly flashed across his face, saying: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Zuo Dao took out his Zhenfu Envoy waist badge and said, "Zuo Dao, the Yaosi Zhenfu Envoy of Linya Town, I asked you to fetch a few bowls of water. Do you hear me clearly?"

Looking at the waist card in Zuo Dao's hand, although the butcher was not sure, he thought that most of the officials he had met before were acting like this.

He had no doubts in his mind, so he turned around to get a bucket of water and brought several bowls.

Then according to Zuo Dao's instructions, he placed several bowls in front of the goats and donkeys, and filled the bowls with water.

Immediately, I saw the goats and donkeys desperately drinking water.

After a while, a group of goats and donkeys stood stiffly on the spot, the fur on their backs split, and a man emerged from them.

What came out of the goats were women, and what came out of the donkeys were strong men.

This scene was so frightening that the butcher dropped the boning knife on the ground.

The moment these people appeared, they knelt down directly towards Zuo Dao and said in unison: "Thank you, sir, for saving your life."

Seeing this, Zuo Dao turned to look at the shepherd and said, "Is this how to make animals?"

When the shepherd heard this, his face instantly turned pale.

After some cross-examination by Zuo Dao, it was discovered that the identity of the herdsman was a lazy man who was lucky enough to get the method of making animals.

I was so confused that I actually learned some tricks from an ancient book.

After learning this method of making animals, he walked around the streets all day, specifically picking out those who were alone.

After taking those people to a dark place and being stunned, they turned them into livestock using the method of making animals.

Then they were sent to the slaughterhouse to be sold for money.

But this lazy man is also smart. After selling a few people in one place, he will take the money and run to the next place.

Therefore, in the past two or three years, no one has noticed this person's flaws.

It wasn't until I met Zuo Dao in a restaurant today that the secret was exposed.

Hearing the shepherd speak, Zuo Dao became a little curious about the method of making animals in his hands.

He turned to the shepherd and said, "Where is that ancient book?"

The shepherd said: "After I learned how to make animals, I was afraid that the owner of the ancient book would come, so I burned it."

Hearing the other party speak, Zuo Dao showed a look of pity on his face.

This time I actually met a smart person again.

After learning, he immediately burned the ancient books on the spot, leaving no way out.

Zuo Dao said to the butcher behind him: "Is there any case of missing persons in the nearby towns?"

When the butcher heard this, he thought about it carefully and said, "It seems that there is indeed a case of missing persons. I didn't expect that this evil would use such means to harm people."

When he thought about it, he almost bought these human-turned-animals.

He just wanted to kill this evil way with one knife.

If he really ruined his reputation, who in this town would buy his meat in the future.

Hearing the butcher speak, Zuo Dao pointed to the shepherd whose limbs were broken and said, "Take them and this guy to report to the official. Tell the matter clearly, and maybe get your reward."

When the butcher heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Bounty?

He immediately bowed to Zuo Dao and thanked him, and then directed the strong men who had just transformed back to lead the herdsmen towards the direction of the government.

After the butcher left, Zuo Dao turned his head and looked aside, and then said, "When does this friend plan to see you?"

The voice fell.

Then I saw a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe walking out of the shadows not far away.

The Taoist priest bowed to Zuo Dao, and then said: "I have seen the Governor of Zhenfu in his pursuit of stars."

Zuo Dao looked at Zhaixingzi and asked, "Taoist Master followed me all the way. I don't know what he wants?"

Zhaixingzi smiled and said: "No, no, Pindao didn't want to follow the master, but the shepherd. I just didn't expect that the master would take the first step. It was really a misunderstanding."

When Zuo Dao heard this, he looked at Zhaixingzi with a strange expression and said, "Why are you following him?"

Zhaixingzi said: "This method of making animals is one of the evil magic methods. It is rarely used by people, especially in today's world. The poor Taoist followed this person just to know whether those evil heretics have also entered the world."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao cupped his hands and said, "Don't you know where the master is from?"

Seeing this, Zhaixingzi returned the greeting and said loudly: "My master, Pindao, inherited the Laoshan sect at a time when the world was undergoing drastic changes, so I came down to the mountain to see if I could find an opportunity."

After hearing what Zhai Xingzi said, Zuo Dao couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Laoshan?

Another orthodox Taoist sect.
