Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 83 Ex-wife, Concubine

Finding Li Hong means getting the White Bone Demon Scripture. In order to save his life, Li Hong basically answered whatever Lu Cheng asked and did not hesitate when offering the scripture.

In this case, Lu Cheng did not make things too difficult for him. He pointed out his dantian, gave him the identity of a small leader, and took those disciples who surrendered to the Fire Ghost Cave to search for property everywhere. Half an hour later, a raging fire enveloped this evil cave.

Lu Cheng sat among a pile of valuables, reading a book, frowning and nodding from time to time.

On the other side, following the guidance of a faint flute sound, Madam Ruyu came to a hidden forest and saw a female monk playing a jade flute with her back to her.

"Is it safe here?"

"Don't worry, since Master Lu hasn't caught up with you yet, it means you are not important to him. You are safe here."

It was a very beautiful woman in Taoist attire, Yun Yuzhen.

"What happened? How did that old monster Lu come to the Fire Ghost Cave so quickly? Why didn't you inform me in advance? I almost died under the sword of that old monster."

Although Lu Cheng looks young, Madam Ruyu only believes that he has the secret to maintain his youth. After seeing his swordsmanship, Madam Ruyu feels that even if she practices for another hundred years, she may not be able to acquire even one-tenth of his swordsmanship. How could a young Taoist possess such skills?

"I have already sent you a message through the flute in advance. If you had listened to me and retreated immediately, you would not have been in any danger... Did you go to besiege Master Lu? That's why you are in such a mess."

Yun Yuzhen had a wide circle of friends, loved fine clothes, delicious food, pearls, jade and rare treasures, and loved making friends. Therefore, during the years she lived in Chixin Temple, she and Madam Ruyu became close friends.

It's just that the two have different personalities. Madam Ruyu is a well-known slut in the local spiritual world. She prefers to use her beauty and body to give alms to others in exchange for magical instruments and Taoist secrets. It has been quite hard for her to accumulate the wealth over the years.

Yun Yuzhen was married to a disciple of a major sect as a concubine at the age of thirteen. She was gentle, kind and lovely. She had a very good relationship with the eldest wife and they usually treated each other like sisters.

Although she got along well with Madam Ruyu, she never participated in Madam Ruyu's affairs with those men.

The Fire Ghost Cave and the Red Heart Temple were at odds, so the two best friends secretly formed an alliance and chose to make a fortune from the Fire Ghost Cave and those southern Xinjiang families, which had weaker foundations. They also agreed that no matter which side won in the end, they would save the other's life.

In this way, the two were almost invincible in this struggle.

"How's it going? Did you succeed?"

"Hey, what did I get? Your Master Lu came so quickly that I didn't have a chance to do anything. To steal treasures and money, they must have stolen it long before the battle. Do you think I can come out alive?"

"You didn't steal anything?"

"Not at all." Madam Ruyu flicked her sleeves and replied unhappily.

"Alas, wouldn't that mean all the risk is in vain? If I had known earlier, I would have listened to Master Lu. There is still some way to make money by killing the monks of those small families."

Hearing this, Madam Ruyu's eyes lit up as if she had thought of something. She moved to Yun Yuzhen's side and stretched out her hand as if she wanted to hug Yun Yuzhen and say something personal.

The two of them were quite close on weekdays, so Mrs. Ruyu's action at this time was not abrupt.

However, on her raised right elbow, there were fire snakes clinging and entangled:

"I have already offended the Lord of Chixin Monastery. I am afraid that I will have a hard time gaining a foothold in this cultivation world. Yuzhen, please don't blame me."

As soon as the thought came to an end, Madam Ruyu pressed down on the back of Yun Yuzhen's right shoulder with one palm, and poured down with all her powerful magic power.

"what!"

"what!"

The two men fell forward and retreated backward, but both cried out in surprise.

Of course, the one who fell forward was Yun Yuzhen. She was hit hard by Madam Ruyu, but she turned around suddenly, with blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, but there was no surprise in her eyes.

Madam Ruyu fell back and held the pulse point of her right hand tightly with her left hand, but there were tiny blood holes on her palm, and black blood flowed out of them.

It was obvious that Yun Yuzhen was wearing a close-fitting inner armor similar to soft hedgehog armor.

"...Yuzhen, Yuzhen, please listen to my explanation."

"Haha, Sister Yu, you don't need to explain. I know all this. You offended Master Lu and dared not practice in this place anymore, but you needed money to go to other places, so you wanted to kidnap me. I am pretty and I can sell to a wealthy family for a good price. I know all this even if you don't say it."

call.

The purple silk ribbon draped over Yun Yuzhen's body rushed towards Madam Ruyu like a dragon emerging from the sea.

Madam Ruyu had to block this time. She could only gather her magic power and stretch out her left palm to take Yun Yuzhen's angry attack.

Just the next moment, whoosh.

Under the silk ribbon, a small sword with a shining cold light flew through Madam Ruyu's lower abdomen at a high speed. The sword energy attacked her body, instantly destroying all life.

"...Yuzhen"

Madam Ruyu stared at Yun Yuzhen in front of her, blood gushing out of her mouth, but before she could say what she wanted to say, she fell backwards to the ground.

The Fire Ghost Cave was burned to the ground. The White Bone Taoist, the Fire Ghost Wanderer, and Madam Ruyu, three famous left-wing monks, died in the sword fight with Chixin Temple.

Not only that, those family monks who received the letter and took the clan masters to the Fire Ghost Cave were also intercepted and killed by the Chixin Temple along the way. Within just a few days, more than a dozen villages and towns raised the flags of the God.

Just like what happened in Ishihara County back then, they followed the same method and eliminated the largest family or families of monks in the area. Half of their property was put into the Chixin Temple, and the other half was distributed to the local poor people. Of course, this time, because more than a dozen villages and towns were involved at the same time, there was some chaos in the process, but the aristocratic families were eradicated and the people were won over, just like they were back then.

Just when those other noble families were in a state of panic and thought that Chixin Temple might attack at any time, Chixin Temple or Taoist Lu Cheng suddenly stopped.

The targets of revenge were limited to those family monks who joined the Fire Ghost Cave, and then Lu Cheng returned to the Chixin Temple.

"I know very well that I don't have the ability to change the world. At least, I am far from qualified now."

"I can only improve the range of my vision and make my thoughts clearer. The Tang Dynasty and the Gu God Sect will not embarrass me, a true disciple of the Fire Cloud Mansion and a foundation-building cultivator, if it is just this level. But I can't cross the line either."

Standing on the hillside of Chixin Temple, Lu Cheng held a sword and gazed at the vibrant Ishihara County below. He estimated in his mind how important he was in the hearts of the Tang Dynasty and the Gushen Cult. He would stay far away from this bottom line.

…………

Although Chixin Temple was withdrawn very quickly, there is no doubt that it has become the largest spiritual practice force in the local area.

No matter what the monks here want to do, they have to consider the thoughts of the master. The influx of a large number of people has made all industries in Shiyuan County flourish rapidly, bustling and expanding, creating greater profits.

At the same time, the remaining immortal cultivation families in the nearby towns can no longer be too harsh on the people under their rule, otherwise these farmers will really make their own choices with their feet.

Late at night, at Chixinguan, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting its light all over the ground.

The night was so beautiful today, so Lu Cheng read in the courtyard. The breeze on his face and reading the classics made him feel extremely comfortable.

What he was reading today was the White Bone Demon Sutra which he had just acquired. In fact, in Lin Tianshu's collection, there were many more important books than this classic. However, after reading so many classics, it was also interesting to occasionally take a look at the techniques practiced by sorcerers and witches.

In other words, you can look at it, but you can't trust it completely.

In addition to developing a method for sacrificing and refining the White Bone Magic Pearl, the White Bone Taoist is currently also researching a method for eating human souls to strengthen his own soul. According to his own records, once completed, it can at least enhance the cultivator's spiritual consciousness.

"But this kind of magic practice has a much higher chance of causing schizophrenia than enhancing spiritual awareness. I don't know whether to say he has made some innovations or is too radical."

Just as Lu Cheng was enjoying reading the White Bone Taoist Scripture, he smelled a faint fragrance in front of him. He looked up and saw Madam Yuzhen, who was dressed in Taoist robes, holding a tray of fruits in one hand and a book in the other.

"Master, would you like to read a book together?"

"Haha, good, I'm just thirsty."

Lu Cheng took a fruit, and then the two of them read books together in the courtyard under the moonlight and shared the spiritual fruit.

Sometimes, Lu Cheng would be curious about which volume of the Taoist Canon Yun Yuzhen was reading, and Yun Yuzhen would be curious too, so the two would then exchange volumes.

Gradually, this became a habit. In Lu Cheng, except for the core skills of Huoyun Mansion, there was nothing that needed to be cherished. Even if Yun Yuzhen had some books, they would not be more than Lin Tianshu's collection after sweeping up Burning Wood Mountain, so exchanging books was beneficial to him. Until one day, Yun Yuzhen took out a novel and miscellaneous notes. Lu Cheng was not willing to exchange books with her anymore.

Time passes day by day.

While practicing swordsmanship and cultivating magical powers, he would read Taoist books, and sometimes also read some travel stories, novels and miscellaneous notes.

This is how monks practice, most of them spend dozens or even hundreds of years practicing diligently, and less time exploring secrets and fighting with swords.

In addition, he would occasionally receive a few good friends, such as Taoist Tang Shi from the Gu Shen Sect, and even mediate for some local monks.

Occasionally he would deal with some miscellaneous matters within the temple, such as Xu Sheng's ambiguous relationship with a female cultivator from the family, and their feelings for each other gradually deepened.

However, after the relationship between the two sides developed to a certain extent, the girl's family put forward a request: In terms of family background, we are marrying above our status, but our daughter cannot marry an ordinary man.

Chixin Temple is already the largest Taoist temple in the local area. Xu Sheng's mother He Lan is the chief priest of Chixin Temple. Taoist Lu Cheng hardly takes care of things on weekdays. It is He Lan who manages the Taoist temple inside and out, so He Lan has a status in the local Taoist community.

The problem is that Xu Sheng is just an ordinary person. He has poor comprehension and poor roots. He has practiced meditation and breathing for many years, but he can't even get through the door.

When immortal cultivators marry, there is a greater chance that they can give birth to offspring with excellent qualifications. If they marry with ordinary people, it will certainly not be good.

In the end, He Lan had no choice but to come to Lu Cheng for help.

Lu Cheng personally came forward to baptize Xu Sheng and opened up the authority for him to use the power of Chijun slightly. In fact, Xu Sheng's faith was already enough, but the power of Chijun was easy to consume and difficult to accumulate. It was okay if only Lu Cheng and He Lan used it, but opening this authority to too many people would consume the foundation.

The reason why the belief in the Red Heart God could spread quickly within hundreds of miles of Shiyuan County was because of the guarantee of Lu Cheng's strength and He Lan's painstaking efforts. Therefore, for the sake of He Lan's face, Lu Cheng gave Xu Sheng the weak authority to use the divine fire.

Make him the lowest level cultivator so that the girl's family won't lose face.

"Although there are conflicts between the Immortal Path and the Divine Law, they also seem to complement each other. The Divine Law can be demonstrated through the power of the Immortal Path, and the Immortal Path can also use the Divine Law to assist in cultivation."

late at night.

In the courtyard, Lu Cheng was drinking and reading, and Yun Yuzhen, the nun in white sitting opposite him, was doing the same.

At this time, six months had passed since the battle to wipe out the Fire Ghost Cave.

As long as the night is clear, Yun Yuzhen would come here to study at night. It seemed to have become a habit.

Lu Cheng vaguely understood the other party's thoughts.

But as a man, what is there to be afraid of? What loss can there be?
No matter what happens, you will not suffer any loss, and no matter what happens, reading at night with the company of a beautiful woman is also a joy in the life of many Taoists.

"Master, I don't quite understand what I said. Could you help me take a look?"

As she moved forward to hand over the book, her graceful and moving body movements formed a breathtaking curve. She leaned forward and extended her white wrist in front of her.

"Let me take a look. Well, with the heart of Tao as the plate, divination with Yin and Yang, the principle of evolving all things. You just need to grasp the essence of Yin and Yang, understand the magic of life and chemistry, and calculate the induction. It's nothing more than that..."

This is a method that teaches cultivators to combine the yin and yang of their own Tao hearts to complete the Yisuan induction. If used well, it can turn poison into wisdom and plant lotus in the fire. It can save both parties dozens or even hundreds of years of hard practice.

The more Lu Cheng watched, the more fascinated he became, but he didn't notice that Madam Yuzhen's face was getting redder and redder.

The scent was like orchid, close to my body. That night, everything that should and should not happen happened naturally.

If Qingyue was still a shy girl, then Madam Yuzhen gave Lu Cheng the feeling of being as gentle as water and cotton. She could bear all the desires of a man.

"My life is miserable and my life is lowly. From now on, I am willing to open my heart to the master and be a good wife of the Lu family. I beg the master to pity and love me, and not despise and abandon me."

After a night, Lu Cheng got up refreshed. The jade-carved beauty was still sleeping on the bed with tears in her eyelashes. He came to the table in the room. There was a Taoist book on the table. It was taken out by Yun Yuzhen when the two of them were most passionate last night.

Oh, her surname is not Yun. In fact, her original surname is Xue, but after she got married, she took her husband’s surname, Yun. Now she should be called Lu Xue.

Pick up the Taoist book: "The Secret of the Demonic Origin of the Heavens".

It is obvious that this is Madam Yuzhen's most important collection, and she would only take it out after entrusting it to others.

A woman like Madam Yuzhen is like a vine. She cannot survive independently in this world. Only by clinging to rocks and trees can she get rain, dew and sunshine.

"The Secret of the Demonic Origin of the Universe? It must not be an ordinary Taoist book for her to treasure it so much, but I have never heard of it."

This book would not be of much use to me now. Firstly, it would not be higher than the Blood Sutra, and secondly, Lu Cheng himself was not a cultivator of the magic path, and this was obviously a magic scripture.
