Chapter 192 The First Use of Thunder Magic
Tian Buli followed Taoist Fufeng and the two of them walked away from the cement ground in front of the door.

As they walked, they saw Taoist Fufeng quickening his pace.

When an ordinary person took one step, the Taoist took more than ten steps.

Just when I was wondering, the distance between them widened by more than a hundred meters.

Tian Buli put force on his feet, using the wolf step he had learned from the general's personal guards. He ran hard with both feet to increase his speed and quickly chased forward.

As they chased, they saw Taoist Fufeng's body sliding forward more than two hundred meters.

Wolf Step is a martial arts footwork used for close-range pursuit. Seeing that the distance was too far, Tian Buli simply leaped up and flew a long distance as fast as a high-flying football. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Taoist Fufeng.

At this time, Tian Buli turned around and looked at Taoist Fufeng who was approaching him quickly.

"Master, why don't you fly there?"

Taoist Fufeng stopped in front of Tian Buli like a phantom and said with a sigh, "You are so powerful and your roots are so extraordinary. I have practiced Taoism for many years but have not yet learned the art of flying."

Tian Buli was really shocked this time, "Master, you don't know how to fly?"

Taoist Fufeng continued to walk forward, and Tian Buli quickly caught up. This time, neither of them competed in speed.

"The art of flying depends on one's aptitude. It is not something that ordinary people can learn. Even if they learn it, they cannot use it often. Only some Taoist masters can use the art of flying to travel around. The rest of the Taoists are just on the go."

Tian Buli thought of his master. Taoist Liuyun and others all flew, but they didn’t use Taoist magic much in normal times, so they would save as much as possible.

It seems that the last time Yu Lei Zi prayed for rain, he walked back with his disciples normally, instead of flying back with his disciples on the clouds.

Using Taoist methods will consume your Taoist skills, and it is not something that can be restored by simply eating a meal. You must practice meditation and recuperate.

Some people's progress is slow, so they are even more reluctant to waste it.

It can recover some, but if you use it too much it will definitely drop.

Some people have a slow cultivation speed and a slow recovery speed. They cannot compare with people like Tian Buli who have a fast recovery and cultivation speed.

Tian Buli said quickly: "The Taoist priest is right. I should also be humble and frugal, and not abuse the Taoist magic casually."

Taoist Fufeng did not dare to be arrogant, "You are too polite, my fellow Taoist. Before coming here, my junior brother and I lost a lot of magic power in the battle with the evil spirits, so we walked a little slower this time."

Tian Buli smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. Although I have settled down here and built a family, I don't know the surrounding villages well. Even if I walk in front, I can't find the way. I need you to lead the way."

In the past few years, the two of them called each other fellow Taoists. After this meeting, their strengths had changed a lot and they became a little unfamiliar. Now, after a few words, they are fellow Taoists again.

Taoist Fufeng was walking quite fast. It was the coldest time of the year and there was no one around. In addition, movement was strictly prohibited recently, so the two of them walked for dozens of miles without encountering a single idle person.

We soon arrived at the county town, and after a short rest and some tea, we continued on our journey.

It didn’t take long to reach Niupi Township.

There are dozens of tents on the road leading into Niupi Township, and many monks are performing rituals to pray for the souls of the dead in the nearby wasteland.

There were officers and soldiers on the road. When they saw the two Taoists coming, several of them quickly came over and saluted.

"Taoist Priest!"

Taoist Fufeng smiled and said, "Please move aside. I have invited Taoist Tian to come and purify the evil spirits. Taoist friend, please!"

Tian Buli nodded and walked in, and the soldiers on both sides also tactfully moved away the wooden fence.

After walking a little further inside, I found that this was a not-so-high mountain terrain. The terrain was not high, but there were many hillsides nearby.

After walking for a few hundred meters, we saw many cattle eating grass in the fields.

Tian Buli asked curiously, "Why are there so many cows here and no one is taking care of them?"

Taoist Fufeng explained, "There is a county called Yantie in front of us, which is rich in iron and stone. Every year, many oxen are used to pull carts there. The oxen that die of exhaustion, illness or injury are slaughtered nearby. There are many leather craftsmen in this township, so it is called Niupi Township."

"Every household raises some cattle. Some sick and injured cattle are kept as long as they survive. Now there is a plague and many people have died. No one cares about the cattle anymore."

"These cows have to be killed too. They have absorbed a lot of evil spirits. If they run away, they might cause trouble. We need to burn them together to help them to transcend."

When Tian Buli heard Taoist Fufeng's arrangements, as a novice beginner, he also obediently followed the arrangements of these old Taoist priests.

The two walked into Niupi Village, which was the center of the village. Outside were a large number of scattered farmlands and houses, which were quite far apart from each other and blocked by many trees and weeds.

Taoist Fuyun was standing on a rooftop, watching. When he saw the two people coming, he smiled and said, "Finally they are here."

Taoist Fufeng jumped up with one foot, and Tian Buli also jumped lightly to another roof.

There were also living people in the scattered rural courtyards nearby, watching this side. Many people quickly went into the house, and some were still watching this side. Tian Buli saw many rural children and couldn't help asking about their arrangements.

"Master, how do we arrange for the living people in this village?"

Taoist Master Fu Feng said calmly: "The government will handle it."

Taoist Master Fuyun was also very calm.

Tian Buli knew that it was enough to say this, but he still couldn't help but break the tacit understanding.

“How will the government handle this?”

Taoist Fufeng looked at Tian Buli and said, "Daoyou, these are the people of the Tianyue Dynasty. They are managed by the officials of the Tianyue Dynasty. Today, the Tianyue Dynasty regulates the weather, reduces taxes, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"We are all monks, outsiders. Why should we manage others and cause trouble?"

Taoist Master Fuyun also advised: "Fellow Daoist, please don't meddle in other people's business. We were invited by the imperial court to expel the plague. After we have accomplished our mission, we will go back to continue our cultivation. If you really want to be in charge, wouldn't it be better for you to be an official? Why bother practicing Taoism?"

Tian Buli asked, "This is my first time dealing with this kind of thing. I want to know if these people could have survived if they hadn't been infected with the disease?"

Taoist Master Fuyun was a little angry. "Fellow Daoist, some things should be put to rest. Today we will destroy the evil spirit in this dark world. In the next few days, we can completely put an end to this matter. Other places can also celebrate the New Year in peace."

"If you interfere, this matter will take several years to resolve. Not to mention the soldiers guarding outside, even the people in the nearby villages may not be willing to do so, right?"

Tian Buli thought about it and found that Taoist Fuyun was right.

If a plague occurs, it is easy for hundreds of people to die. Now, directly eliminating the source when there are only a few hundred people is indeed in line with the decision of the rulers of the feudal dynasty.

Tian Buli thought of a countermeasure quickly and soon looked at the two Taoists.

Taoist Fufeng and Taoist Fuyun knew they could not persuade Tian Buli when they saw the look in his eyes.

Taoist Fuyun sighed and said, "You invited the wrong person."

Tian Buli smiled and said, "Don't worry, Taoist priest. I happen to know some medical skills in cooking medicine. I will first disperse the evil spirit hanging in the air, and then ask the villagers to cook some hot food to warm the stomach, nourish the body and drive away evil spirits."

"If it doesn't work within three days, I'll go back to Yanxia Mountain and think of a solution."

Tian Buli did not think about it again. Since he had decided to help, he would help to the end. He would not give up halfway or do anything that he would regret.

Taoist Fufeng shook his head helplessly, "Well, I'll do as you say, but you have to talk to the court yourself. In the end, it still depends on those people nodding their heads. Only then can their lives be saved."

Tian Buli nodded and quickly rose up.

The two Taoist priests Fufeng and Fuyun, as well as some nearby villagers were watching the Taoist priest ascending into the air.

The officers and soldiers at the village entrance in the distance and the monks who were chanting sutras also saw this little fairy ascending into the sky!
The souls of those who died from the plague nearby and the evil spirits kept the winter village shrouded in dark clouds. When Tian Buli flew up, black smoke that looked like the souls of the dead began to appear in the sky.

"This is the evil spirit causing chaos!"

Tian Buli shouted loudly, his voice as loud as thunder.

His hands were clenched with the power of thunder and lightning, and he began to chant a spell.

"Use my true energy to coordinate the changes of heaven and earth!!"

"Use my body to summon the fortune of the Thunder Pond!!"

"The thunder has come, and the whole world will be shocked!!!"

When the spell ended, there was a thunderclap from the blue sky, and forked lightning slid from horizon to horizon, lighting up the entire sky.

Fufeng Fuyun and the nearby villagers felt the shaking of heaven and earth, and could vaguely hear the wailing of dead souls.

The thick dark clouds turned into countless dust and mist, and the dazzling afternoon sun fell through the cracks. The air was filled with countless majestic and powerful divine powers, making people and livestock tremble.

Thunder magic is always the biggest nemesis of evil spirits and is also the most powerful of all magic spells.

Tian Buli quickly fell from the sky, looking at the growing crack and sunlight.

This was the first time that he used offensive magic to the greatest extent. Before, spitting water to kill people was not considered a real offensive spell, but just a small trick.

Seeing that his cultivation level had dropped by three months in an instant, Tian Buli felt a little helpless, but he also felt it was worth it.

I didn't expect that the regular thunder method I learned from Yu Lei Zi and Yan Xia Gong would be so powerful.

Not to mention demonic energy, it feels like even a group of demons and monsters can be destroyed in an instant.
