Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 96 I Like Them All
"You're okay?" Xiaoqing moved around Fan Shiyi's body and didn't find any injuries on her.

Xiaoqing has always been the one protecting Fan Shiyi, but Fan Shiyi's fighting ability is very poor.

Fan Shiyi said speechlessly: "What can I do?"

"I thought something happened to me and you would not survive." Xiaoqing was very worried about Fan Shiyi. She thought she was controlled by the lake monster and Fan Shiyi would definitely be beaten to death by the monster.

Even if he doesn't die, he will probably be disabled.

"You'll be happy if I die, right?" Fan Shiyi asked.

Xiao Qing snorted coldly, "If you were dead, I would be very happy."

"Zhou Ping, if I die, Xiaoqing will send you off." Fan Shiyi said suddenly.

Xiao Qing: "Who do you think you are? You're dead, and you sent me to Zhou Ping. Who do you think I am?"

Fan Shiyi: "You are nothing."

Xiaoqing: “That’s pretty good.”

But Xiaoqing thought again and felt something was wrong.

"I am not a thing, no, I am a thing."

Fan Shiyi shook his head and looked at Bailu Village worriedly: "The lake monster will take revenge on the village."

Monsters have a strong desire for revenge. If Bailu Village hires someone to deal with the monsters, the monsters will definitely take revenge.

But now Fa Yuan has been driven away, Xiao Qing will be controlled by the lake monster, and his own fighting ability is not strong, so Zhou Ping's strength seems to be just so-so.

Can’t beat the lake monster!
If the lake monster takes revenge on the village, everyone in the village will surely die.

"No, I have to go help them." Fan Shiyi gritted his teeth, drew a crane out of thin air, and prepared to go help people.

Fan Shiyi has been studying Confucianism since she was young, and she takes it as her responsibility to save the common people, which has been deeply engraved in her bones.

Even though she knew she was no match for the lake monster, she still had to deal with it. Fan Shiyi couldn't bear to watch the villagers of Bailu Village die.

"You don't want to live anymore. Without me to protect you, you're going to die." Xiaoqing shouted.

Fan Shiyi said, "Even if I die, I will go too."

Xiaoqing's eyes were a little moist. What she liked was Fan Shiyi's masculinity: Why are you just a girl?
"There's no point in dying. I won't die. I roughly know what's going on." Zhou Ping said.

Zhou Ping told the story of the ghost baby meeting Lu Ying.

The two widows that Lu Ying wanted to sleep with were killed by lake monsters. The husbands of several widows who were missing were also killed by lake monsters.

The lake monster killed the woman's husband and snatched away the women of Bailu Village. Lu Ying slept with these widows.

Zhou Ping guessed that there must be something wrong with Lu San and his son.

"You mean the lake monster is related to Lu San and his son." Fan Shiyi said.

Zhou Ping nodded: "The lake monster is related to Lu San and his son, and is even controlled by Lu San and his son. At least Lu San and his son can contact the lake monster and make deals with him."

Fan Shiyi seemed to be lost in thought. Her horizons were broader than Zhou Ping's and she had more experience.

Fan Shiyi had never seen a creature like the lake monster.

Fan Shiyi knew all the water monsters, such as water monkeys, snake monsters, fish monsters, etc., but none of them looked like the lake monster.

Is the lake monster a new species?

Fan Shiyi suddenly had an idea. She remembered that the lake monster once wanted to pick up the vajra, but couldn't.

Vajra has the power to restrain ghosts and monsters.

"I know what the lake monster is." Fan Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Ping and Xiao Qing looked at Fan Shiyi.

"The lake monsters are actually Lu San and his son. The reason they were able to become lake monsters is because they are demons."

"The lake monster appeared a year ago, which was exactly the time when the Demon Lord fell."

"When the Demon Lord fell, it was most likely that the demon seed on his body accidentally fell off and was then picked up by Lu San and his son."

Fan Shiyi put away his paper fan and figured out the whole story.

"Zhou Ping, thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of this." Fan Shiyi said with emotion.

Xiaoqing was a little confused, but she understood that Lu San and his son were tiger monsters, and they could control the creatures in the water with the power of the monster.

"Even if we know that they are lake monsters, how do we deal with them?" Xiaoqing raised the key question.

Fan Shiyi: "We can go into the island and kill them before they transform."

Xiaoqing: "How do we get into the island?"

Fan Shiyi: "Draw a crane flying to the island."

Xiao Qing: "Will they not attack us if we draw a crane?"

Fan Shiyi: “.”

Although Fan Shiyi guessed the situation, he overlooked a key point: he couldn't win!

"It's okay, we should go ashore. I can deal with the lake monster!" Zhou Ping said.

Xiao Qing grinned: "I am a seventh-rank, and I can't beat him, how can you?"

Fan Shiyi said he didn't believe it either.

Zhou Ping smiled softly: "I am a ninth-grade Buddhist cultivator. Brother Fan also said just now that the lake monster cannot lift the vajra. He is afraid of the power of Buddha."

Zhou Ping's greatest reliance was the Ruyi cassock and the Holy Bodhi Buddhist beads, but he did not say it out loud.

These two Buddhist instruments are definitely more powerful than the Vajra. With these two instruments, Zhou Ping can easily deal with the lake monster.

Natural restraint!

"What's wrong with Jiupin? Fayuan was beaten away. Can you be more powerful than him?" Xiaoqing still didn't believe it.

Zhou Ping looked at Fan Shiyi and said, "Brother Fan, you know I can be in the sage state."

Zhou Ping did not want to expose his two Buddhist treasures. What he meant was that the sage state would allow him to unleash all of his Buddhist power, even though his Buddhist cultivation was achieved with the help of external forces.

Fan Shiyi's mouth twitched slightly, and his face was slightly hot: "Okay."

Fan Shiyi has confidence in Zhou Ping. She knows that Zhou Ping is a steady and cautious person.

Since Zhou Ping is confident, it's worth a try. This man gives people a very reassuring feeling.

Xiao Qing asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

However, neither Fan Shiyi nor Zhou Ping gave Xiaoqing an explanation.

Xiao Qing was anxious. She twisted her body on Fan Shiyi and said, "What is the sage state? What does it mean?"

Fan Shiyi: "You don't need to know a man's secrets."

Xiaoqing: "Are you a man too?"

Fan Shiyi: “.”

Zhou Ping sat cross-legged in the woods. He wanted to wield the magic spear in battle to improve his cultivation.

After Fan Shiyi knew that Zhou Ping could deal with the lake monster, he wanted to go ashore immediately, but Zhou Ping still needed to prepare.

Fan Shiyi thought that Zhou Ping wanted to ask the Fifth Girl to help him get into the right state, but in fact Zhou Ping wanted to practice Buddhist magical powers.

Fa Yuan was constantly exploding in the battle with the lake monster. This was a magical power of Buddhism, releasing the power of Buddha out of the body. This power of Buddha was accompanied by golden light, which did not harm people, but was very harmful to evil things. It was like sunlight and vampires.

The Buddhist initiation technique can infuse Buddha power into people, or it can output Buddha power to instruments and objects. For example, Zhou Ping has a string of Puming's personal Buddhist beads and a blood sutra.

Pu Ming infused his Buddha power into Buddhist beads and blood scriptures, which can be used to deal with ghosts and monsters.

What Zhou Ping needs to learn now is the method of releasing the Buddha's power. After all, he is dealing with monsters, and monsters can also control schools of fish.

If I could unleash the power of Buddhism, I could use it to deal with the school of fish.

As for the secret techniques of Buddhism, Zhou Ping had them. He once used the magic seed to devour Pu Ming's memory and knew a lot of the secret techniques of Buddhism.

But for Zhou Ping, the Vajra Indestructible Body is what he wants to cultivate most.

So in the past six months, he has been practicing the Vajra Indestructible Body and has cultivated it to the second level. As for other spells, Zhou Ping has not had time to start practicing them yet.

Zhou Ping needs to learn some more Buddhist magic temporarily.

In the woods, golden light rose and fell on Zhou Ping's body.

"I have already achieved the release of Buddha's power." Zhou Ping opened his eyes. After a period of practice, he was already able to release Buddha's power.

It is relatively simple to release the Buddha's power, as long as you drive the Buddha's power out of your body. Compared to releasing the Buddha's power, Zhou Ping wants to practice the "storage" of the Buddha's power.

The storage of Buddha's power is called consecration in Buddhism.

Consecration is similar to initiation, except that initiation is to give the Buddha's power to people, while consecration is to store the Buddha's power in items such as Buddhist beads.

The blessed Buddhist beads can be shot out like bullets.

However, according to Pu Ming's understanding, Confucianism can also use this method. Although the power of Buddhism and Confucianism are of different natures, they both have the function of restraining ghosts.

Zhou Ping took out a string of Buddhist beads, which he bought at Jinhua Temple.

The monks said that the Buddhist beads were blessed.

But Zhou Ping knew that the monk was lying.

Scar had bought a consecrated rune from Jinhua Temple before, but was cheated.

Jinhua Temple uses the consecration ceremony as a gimmick to sell products. The truly consecrated Buddhist beads and runes are very expensive.

Zhou Ping let out a long sigh, then placed his hand on the Buddhist beads and infused his magic power into them according to Pu Ming's memory.

The first one, no. After the Buddha's power emanated from Zhou Ping's hand, it dissipated instantly and did not penetrate into the Buddha beads.

Zhou Ping didn't believe it and injected the second pill again.

However, the same is true for the second one.

Finally, when he practiced to the eighth bead, Zhou Ping could barely preserve some of the Buddha's power on the beads, but the Buddha's power on the beads was not great.

"No, I can't do this anymore. My Buddha power originally came from external forces. Once it's used up, it's gone."

"Although the Buddha's power infused Buddhist beads is useful, it doesn't mean much to me."

"My Buddha power is limited. After all, it is what I cultivated myself."

Zhou Ping knew that this move was not worth the loss for him. Once his Buddha power was used up, there was no place to find it.

"I'd better try the Prajna Palm." Zhou Ping thought.

Prajna Palm is another magic spell in Puming's memory, which can expel the spiritual energy in the body.

According to Pu Ming's memory, his Prajna Palm could hit a hundred feet away.

This technique is of great significance to Zhou Ping, as it is equivalent to giving him the function of a "shooter".

During the battle, Zhou Ping can engage with the opponent from a long distance.

"Gather the spiritual energy in the palm of your hand, and then push it out." Zhou Ping continued to practice according to his memory.

At first, Zhou Ping could only form a palm wind that was only about ten feet away.

The palm wind can blow away the leaves on the ground, but it is still difficult to hurt people.

However, as Zhou Ping continued to practice, his palm winds traveled farther and became more powerful.

Especially since the spiritual power in Zhou Ping's body can be replenished by the inner elixir formed by the Tianling Method, so it can never be used up.

Gradually, the Prajna Palm made some progress.

Zhou Ping can push out the palm wind ten feet away, and can chop down a small tree ten feet away.

Zhou Ping wanted to practice for a while longer, but it was already dark.

"That's all for today. It should be enough."

Just in case, Zhou Ping spent ten years of his life to recharge Lingxi Finger. Zhou Ping's life span was originally more than forty years, but now it has been reduced by another ten years.

However, now that Zhou Ping has developed the tunnel escort mission, it is not difficult to gain longevity.

"We're ready, let's go." Zhou Ping said.

Fan Shiyi looked at Zhou Ping in disbelief: "So long?"

Zhou Ping: "Today's venue is not suitable, it's still a bit fast."

Fan Shiyi didn't believe it at all. She thought Zhou Ping was bragging.

But Fan Shiyi suddenly remembered an interesting story she heard from a girl in a brothel in Qinghe County.

A few gangsters found girls from a brothel and pretended to be female ghosts to scare Zhou Ping, but they were caught by Zhou Ping.

The girl in the brothel was tortured by Zhou Ping for two hours.

After hearing about this, the girls in the brothels all had shining eyes and expressed their desire to try looking for Zhou Ping.

Is he really that powerful? Fan Shiyi began to believe it.

"What's fast or slow?" Xiao Qing couldn't help asking. She was very curious about Zhou Ping's sage state. What on earth was it?

But Fan Shiyi just wouldn't tell her.

Fan Shiyi and Zhou Ping discussed for a while and then set off.

This time, the two did not plan to bring Xiaoqing with them.

Xiaoqing will be controlled by the lake monster.

Once Xiaoqing is controlled, it is equivalent to having one more enemy. If the two of them are backstabbed by Xiaoqing, it will be bad for them.

Xiaoqing was spinning on the ground anxiously, but she also knew that she was of no use.

"Fan Shiyi, please don't die." Xiaoqing's voice was filled with worry and resentment.

Xiaoqing has been with Fan Shiyi since she was a child, and she has always believed that she is a woman. She has imagined countless times that if only she could transform into a human, she would devote herself to her.

It was written like this in the storybooks: the scholar saved the monster, and the monster came back to repay the favor. But who would have thought that Fan Shiyi was actually a man, which disgusted Xiaoqing for a long time.

Although the love is gone, the family and friendship are still there. She doesn't want Fan Shiyi to be in danger.

But Xiaoqing also knew Fan Shiyi's character. Fan Shiyi would help even if he died. When Qinghe County was in great trouble, Fan Shiyi also held on.

If it weren’t for the intervention of the Cloth Hero, Fan Shiyi would have been dead.

In the past, Xiaoqing always protected Fan Shiyi, but today Xiaoqing was unable to protect Fan Shiyi.

Fan Shiyi waved his hands: "Don't worry, you won't die."

"Zhou Ping, please protect her." Xiaoqing's eyes were full of worry.

Zhou Ping nodded: "Don't worry."

Fan Shiyi said: "Although Zhou Ping's cultivation is not high, he is very cautious. Since he said that everything is fine, you don't have to worry."

Xiaoqing rolled her eyes and ignored Fan Shiyi. In Xiaoqing's opinion, Zhou Ping was also trying to show off.

Fan Shiyi stopped talking nonsense and drew a crane.

The two of them flew towards Bailu Village on a crane, but Fan Shiyi was on the crane's back while Zhou Ping was carried by the crane's claws.

"Mr. Fan, Miss Xiaoqing likes you very much." Zhou Ping expanded his perception range, drew out his long sword and accumulated strength.

Fan Shiyi chuckled and said, "Do you like Xiaoqing?"

As soon as Fan Shiyi finished speaking, a column of water emerged from the water surface.

The water droplet was more than ten feet wide and it shot towards the crane.

Fan Shiyi hurriedly controlled the crane to avoid the attack of the water column.

Zhou Ping stared at the water column and said faintly, "I like everything that nourishes the water and makes me happy."

Fan Shiyi's mouth twitched slightly: "It's right to bring you here. You can bring me happiness."
