White Snake: I am a Swordsman

Chapter 8 Master save me
When the tree reached the foot of Jinshan Temple, its speed suddenly slowed down.

Fahai held one hand in front of him and held a rosary in the other. He walked from the tree to the steps as if he was walking on flat ground, with extremely steady steps.

"Master Fahai, what demon did you subdue this time?"

"Master Fahai, please let my wife give birth to a boy. This is already the third child!"

"Master Fahai, will my son be able to pass the imperial examination?"

Devout pilgrims surrounded Fahai.

"Amitabha." Fahai did not answer their questions.

He climbed up surrounded by the crowd, like a reef in the waves, standing still no matter how the waves beat against him.

He always looked ahead.

Finally, he stopped in front of Xu Xian.

"Donor, there is a demonic aura on you." Fahai said to Xu Xian, "Who are you from? Who have you come into contact with recently? What strange things have you encountered?"

Fahai stared at Xu Xian's face.

When the pilgrims around heard the word "evil spirit", they all closed their mouths and looked at Xu Xian curiously.

It's so weird!
What a rare thing!

Who is this young man, where did he come into contact with the monster, and why didn't the monster kill him?
Xu Xian knew that he had found the right person.

Fahai is a man of great Taoism skills. If he has a powerful magic weapon in his hand, he can easily suppress the two snake monsters even if he is outnumbered two by one!

"Demonic spirit?" Xu Xian showed a shocked expression.

He rolled his eyes, pretending to think.

"Yes, you must have come into contact with monsters recently." Fahai frowned slightly, "And it's not an ordinary monster. The monster energy in you is very pure. It was left by a powerful monster."

"Master, please save me!" Xu Xian's face was full of nervousness. "I am a doctor in Hangzhou. I come into contact with many people every day. I don't know when I have encountered a monster."

A person from Hangzhou? The pilgrims around were startled.

Jinshan Temple is not far from Hangzhou.

Many of them are from Hangzhou. There are monsters in Hangzhou city, so aren’t they all in danger?
"Master Fahai, Hangzhou City has a large population, you must capture this monster!" A pilgrim couldn't help but interrupt.

His words immediately drew a wave of agreement.

"Yes, Master Fahai!"

"Master Fahai, my whole family lives in Hangzhou City. I beg you to help me subdue the demon!"

"Master Fahai, what should we do?"

Fahai heard what these pilgrims said.

He looked directly into Xu Xian's eyes and said word by word: "Think about it carefully!"

Xu Xian pursed his lips and pretended to be thinking hard: "If you want to talk about someone special, I recently met a pair of sisters who came to Hangzhou for a trip. They are as beautiful as fairies, and we get along very well."

"Could they be monsters?"

Xu Xian's face showed shock and fear, but he had only one thought in his mind.

Twenty-five years!
Finally, this cause and effect can be resolved!
Fahai nodded slightly, and said seriously: "They are very likely to be monsters. Monsters are different from humans. They can change their shapes and easily get a good appearance!"

Xu Xian opened his mouth and was about to agree with Fahai's words.

Suddenly, his expression froze.

He could feel that there were many gazes cast upon him from the sky, and that the laws of nature in this world also oppressed him.

He's overstepped his bounds.

What you just said is not what "Xu Xian" should say!

But why?

"But they are very kind to me and help me cure diseases and save lives." Xu Xian showed a hesitant expression.

Sure enough, after saying a few words for the snake demon, he felt a little relieved.

Xu Xian was unhappy.

Judging from the reactions of Heaven and the mysterious powerful, not only should he not ask anyone to subdue the demon, but he should also protect the two snake demons.

Oh, I am not a puppet to be manipulated by others.

At most, I can say less. Anyway, my purpose has been achieved.

Fahai was in charge of Jinshan Temple. How could he not come when he knew there was a monster in Hangzhou?

Fahai frowned as he looked at Xu Xian.

He thought, so what if monsters can cure diseases and save people?

If it's a demon, it should be killed!

Mortals are indeed mortals, with weak minds. Even though they can clearly sense that something is wrong, they are not sure of their own thoughts.

"I didn't say they must be demons."

Fahai took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms, on which was painted the Buddhist mantra.

Fahai handed the talisman to Xu Xian: "Carry it with you to keep you safe. I will track this talisman and go to Hangzhou to find you in a while."

After a while? Xu Xian was slightly startled.

"Wouldn't you like to come with me and take a look right now?" Xu Xian couldn't help asking, "It would also help prove the innocence of those two girls!"

The pressure on my body eased a little.

A flash of enlightenment arose in his mind. As long as he spoke for the snake demon, even if it objectively brought danger to the snake demon, it was in line with the expectations of the Heavenly Dao and the mysterious powerful.

Fahai shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Although you are infected with evil spirit, your body is not damaged."

"It can be seen that even if those two women are demons, they have no intention of harming you at the moment. I have more important things to do at the moment. I will come to you after I finish them."

After saying this, Fahai ignored Xu Xian and walked hurriedly towards the temple.

Xu Xian was stunned.

Fahai turned his back to Xu Xian and sighed inwardly. Normally, it was difficult to find a big monster, but recently he had encountered them one after another.

There is a village nearby, and the people in the village disappeared out of thin air.

He went to investigate for a few days and found out that a thousand-year-old tree spirit had eaten all the people in the village!
The tree spirit is extremely difficult to deal with and cannot be subdued with magic weapons alone, so we have to return to Jinshan Temple to get some materials for setting up the formation.

The monster that was pestering the man just now has great magical power, but it does not harm people. Its order of treatment should be lower than that of the thousand-year-old tree spirit that is harming people.
Xu Xian stood at the entrance of the temple, holding the talisman given to him by Fahai, with mixed feelings.

He met Fahai, but Fahai was too busy to help him subdue the demon.

Since Fahai was not invited, how should he deal with the snake demon when he went back down the mountain?

The talisman that Fahai gave him was quite powerful. It had Buddhist mantras on it and was refined with magical powers.

But it has no power to kill, it can only prevent physical contact with the monster.

Can this talisman alone scare away the snake demon?
I guess it's enough.

He had been with the snake demon for many days and could feel the snake demon's obsession with him.

Not to mention a talisman from Fahai, even if Fahai himself came in person, the two snake demons might not give up on him, and they would have to fight again.

But with this talisman, he should be able to maintain his innocence.

Just as he was deep in thought, a rough voice suddenly came from the side.

"Little brother, I'll give you five hundred taels of silver, and you can sell me Master Fahai's talisman!" A businessman said with a big smile on his face, "Before Master Fahai comes to subdue the demon, you can live in my house."

It was obvious that the merchant was from Hangzhou. He had heard that there was a monster in Hangzhou City and wanted to buy Fahai's talisman for self-defense.

"You want to buy Master Fahai's talisman for 500 taels?"

"I'll pay five hundred and fifty taels!"

"I have a very good personal relationship with the prefect!"

"I'll give you six hundred taels!"

"The prefect is my uncle!"

"I'll pay you seven hundred taels!"

The Buddhist holy land turned into a noisy bidding scene in the blink of an eye.

Xu Xian took a deep breath, pushed through the crowd and walked out, saying as he walked: "Please stop bidding, this is the life-saving item given to me by Master Fahai, I'm sorry I can't give it away!"

It is not only a life-saving item, but also a way to protect one’s innocence!
