Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 530 White Fox Banner

There are indeed experts in Gu Yue Temple.

Li Xiuyuan used the divine eye technique to detect various situations in his observations. If he was not a person with good morals, he would not be able to detect it at all. Those who can detect it are all people with profound morals.

Even if such a character has not cultivated the Golden Core Dao, I am afraid that he will not be far behind.

Now that he has noticed, he stopped doing this peeping thing, and immediately went up to the mountain to visit with his brother Teng Yunzi.

Walking along the stone steps, I soon saw an extraordinary-looking Taoist priest standing there straight like a pine, squinting his eyes towards this place.

Like-minded people?

The middle-aged Taoist priest's expression suddenly moved slightly, and he felt a little surprised in his heart.

He is actually a cultivator, but why does he know the gods and ghosts of the heavenly palace?
God's Eye Art has always been a spell used by ghosts and gods to investigate the situation in the mortal world. People who practice Taoism generally use Mysterious Light Art. If people in the Taoist sect inherit orthodoxy, they will only use the spells of their own sect. will learn.

"The master of the poor Taoist Ancient Moon Temple, Taoist Shang has met two fellow Taoists." The Taoist priest who claimed to be Taoist Shang gave a salute.

"Poverty Teng Yunzi, this is Mr. Li, Mr. Li, the junior brother of Pindao, please don't blame him for disturbing you just now." Teng Yunzi replied with a salute.

The Taoist Shang laughed and said, "Since it's just the words of fellow Taoists, the two fellow Taoists are full of energy and have extraordinary spells. They must be masters in practice. It's too late for the poor Taoist to see the joy in his heart. Come on, come on, come on. Come on, two fellow Taoists, let’s go to the temple to have a rest. Dao Rong will treat you well, if the two Taoists

If friends are not stingy, it would be best if they can prove the magic of longevity to each other. "

"Fellow Daoist, you're being polite." Teng Yunzi smiled and said, "How dare you show off in front of fellow Daoist with your meager skills."

"Please." Shang Taoist smiled and waved his hand.

After entering the Taoist temple, Taoist Shang immediately ordered the disciples in the Taoist temple, the Taoist boy, to fetch melons, fruits and fresh vegetables, and treat them with clear spring water and wine.

Li Xiuyuan took this opportunity to look around the Taoist temple.

In the middle of the Taoist temple is enshrined a god statue, the god statue is condensed with incense, and it is already psychic, but the ghosts and gods who accept the worship are not here. Come and collect.

But for some reason, Li Xiuyuan felt that the enshrined statue looked familiar.

He seemed to have seen it somewhere, and when he was about to think, he was attracted by another thing next to the statue.

A Taoist banner.

This flag is different from the ordinary Taoist flags. The ordinary Taoist flags are made of cloth, but this flag is made of fur.

Several pieces of soft white fur were spliced ​​together to form a banner. In the middle of the banner, a snow-white fox fur was sewn on it. A fox's head was still clearly visible. I don't know what method was used. The white fox on the flagpole The eyes are still open, exuding a faint light, as if alive

come over.

Looking further, Li Xiuyuan found that with the fluctuation of the fur on the banner, there were countless figures of foxes faintly appearing.

"Fellow Taoist seems to be very interested in the white fox banner of the poor Taoist?" Shang Taoist asked with a smile.

Li Xiuyuan withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "This is called a white fox banner? I don't know what it does? It seems very extraordinary."

"Hehe, this is just a magical weapon refined by Pindao in his spare time. It is not very useful, it can only cast some spells to confuse people. Pindao is only here to isolate some robbers and bandits nearby, so as not to When Pindao was away, the Taoist temple was robbed, which ruined the lives of the disciples.

"Shang Taoist laughed.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Didn't the Taoist priest want to demonstrate the magic method of longevity? Why don't you let us brothers and sisters see the Taoist priest's magic method? For example. This white fox flag."

"Since the fellow Taoist is interested in the white fox flag of the poor Taoist, then the poor Taoist will make a fool of himself."

Shang Daoren said a little ashamedly, then he picked up the fly whisk next to him and knocked on a few cases, and then said: "There is a distinguished guest coming, what are you doing hiding? Why don't you come out to meet the distinguished guest."

As soon as he finished speaking, the white fox flag automatically rose without wind, and then the fox's cry sounded in the Taoist temple.

Then I saw the fur in the white fox streamer suddenly squirmed, a fox's head suddenly poked out from inside, then rushed out, and soon landed on the ground, walking back and forth in the hall, From time to time, it soars in mid-air.

"It's the soul of a fox, not a real fox." Li Xiuyuan's expression moved slightly.

The soul of a fox is the spirit left by a fox who has achieved success in cultivation. In other words, it is a fox ghost.

There was not only one fox ghost flying out of the white fox banner, but there were a few rustling sounds, and fox ghosts rushed out from inside, and after a while, at least a dozen or twenty fox ghosts were rescued from the Kung Fu Hall. ghost.

"It's very impolite to meet distinguished guests with the posture of a fox, why don't you change?" Shang Daoren tapped a few more cases with his fly whisk.

After his voice fell, the cries of the fox in the hall immediately changed.

"Giggle~!" A female's laughter came, some were crisp and moving, some were charming and charming, and some were young and dignified.

All kinds of endless.

Looking at it again, the fox ghost flying up and down in the Taoist temple has disappeared, replaced by beautiful women with bare jade feet, slender legs, and tulle palace attire flying in the air, sometimes landing on the Taoist temple On the beams and pillars, sometimes they fly around the wooden pillars, and sometimes they land on the ground and light their jade feet.
Joyful running, sometimes falling in front of the eyes, swinging the waist and dancing lightly.

Yingying Yanyan, a peerless beauty, looks like a fairy building, where fairies dance.

It is also like a wine pool and meat forest, making people happy to miss Sichuan.

"I haven't poured wine for the two fellow Taoists yet." Shang Daoren knocked on a few more cases.

Immediately, a young and beautiful fox ghost with beautiful eyes flickered, flew to Li Xiuyuan's side and landed. She picked up the jug beside her and poured a glass of wine with a smile.

"Please ask the Taoist priest to drink."

Teng Yunzi looked at the charming fox ghost next to him and couldn't help frowning. He waved his hand, but saw a gust of wind blowing away the fox ghost next to him, and he caught the falling wine glass in his hand.

"This is a spell to arrest souls and ghosts. It's harmful to heaven and earth. Daoist friends really shouldn't use spells to arrest these poor fox ghosts, refine white fox banners, and use them like maidservants. People who cultivate Taoism What is important is to restrain the inner desires, obey the destiny, do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and become immortals
Every time a fellow daoist uses this kind of spell to capture the soul of a fox spirit, he will create an extra murder, and I am afraid that disaster will come in the future."

Having said that, he shook his head, feeling that this method is not advisable.

Li Xiuyuan also frowned, remembering those tanned fox furs and dried meat that he saw in the yard before, plus so many fox ghosts in front of him.

There is no doubt that there are not a few fox spirits who died at the hands of this Shang Taoist.

However, Shang Taoist laughed and said: "There are thousands of ways to achieve Taoism. The poor Taoist practice is the outer alchemy, and among the outer alchemy, the poor Taoist chooses the tonic method, which is to take the essence of monsters to nourish oneself and achieve success." Great way. The human body has great medicine, which is also a big leak, which is scattered from the pores of the whole body every day from the Qiqiao
Essence, if things go on like this, when the essence is empty, it will be the end of life. If you can check for deficiencies and make up for the leaks, then you can stay in the world forever. "

"Besides, people are born with a lot of energy, so they cry loudly, their eyes are bright, they are full of energy when they are children, and they are not tired when they play from morning to night, but when they enter youth, the energy is opened, and the body is full of energy. The essence of the human body is like a floodgate releasing flood water, it keeps on galloping, although it is still strong, it is already declining, and when it grows old

In the middle of the year, the essence loss is serious, so the body is old and sick, and it is inevitable to be buried in the loess.Do you think so? "

Teng Yunzi nodded when he heard the words; "This statement is true, so a person who cultivates the Tao must swallow the essence of the sun and the moon, kill the red dragon, and subdue the white tiger, so that he will not leak, and become a true immortal."

Li Xiuyuan listened to the two discussing the Fa, but sat quietly.

He doesn't know much about cultivators, so it's not easy to participate in the discussion.

"It seems that fellow Taoist is practicing inner alchemy." Taoist Shang said with a smile: "But how can we not repair the leaks in the body? People who are tired and hungry need to eat, and Taoists who have lost their essence should also eat. The reason is the same. of."

"You want to practice outer alchemy, so you hunt fox spirits, take their flesh and blood, and take their inner alchemy?" Teng Yunzi asked.

"Of course."

Shang Daoren nodded, without any shame: "Fox spirits turn into enchanting beauties, wander around the world to gather men's essence, poor way catch fox spirits, subdue demons and eliminate demons, eliminate one harm in the world, and nourish themselves. , what's wrong?"

Teng Yunzi pondered for a while and said, "If that's the case, the poor really have nothing to say."

Li Xiuyuan said at this moment: "But there are good foxes and bad ones. How does the Taoist priest distinguish between good and evil foxes? You must know that not all foxes are harmful, and there are some good foxes who know how to repay their kindness. , if you accidentally kill goodness, what should you do?"

Shang Daoist laughed; "Human beings have good and evil, how can beasts have good and evil? Besides, when humans eat pigs and sheep, how can they tell which ones are good sheep and which are bad sheep? Don't they all want to eat them? You can't because Don’t eat good sheep, just release them. A fox spirit is a monster made by a fox’s cultivation. It is a beast. It

They are very cunning, knowing that mortals like beauties, so they often turn into beauties to seduce men. "

"That fox spirit, fellow Taoists probably don't know about it. She has practiced for 100 years and just survived the human catastrophe. When she gained Taoism, she couldn't wait to transform into a beauty to seduce the farmers in the field. In the end, five men were depleted of essence and died of illness. When Pindao arrived, she was seducing the sixth man's house
, if Pindao hadn't arrived in time, the sixth man would have been killed too. "

Li Xiuyuan looked at it, but saw that the fox spirit turned into a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. She was pretty and upright, but her eyes were slanted and she looked like a fox.

"Fellow Taoist, look again. That fox spirit has practiced Taoism for 300 years, but she has only practiced for more than 100 years. The reason why she can practice at such a speed is because she went to brothels and turned into an oiran to recruit men. Many men do it for her." She abandoned her family and children, and sold the land, just to collect money and provide a night's income

It's ridiculous that those mortals don't know that the woman they are obsessed with is just the illusion of a fox spirit. The fox spirit not only cheated their money, but also cheated their essence. "

"It's really cunning."

After finishing speaking, Shang Daoren couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The fox spirit he was referring to was an enchanting and glamorous woman with a beautiful appearance, surpassing the fairies in the sky. How could mortals not be crazy about such a woman.

"If humans and foxes fall in love, isn't it for the sake of obtaining essence? What about the Taoist leader?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Shang Daoren smiled and picked up a winter jujube from the fruit plate in front of him: "Will fellow Taoists fall in love with this jujube?"

"No." Li Xiuyuan said.

Shang Taoist put the winter jujube into his mouth and ate it, and then praised: "It's really a sweet jujube. Ordinary people are like this winter jujube in front of the fox spirit. Although they like it, they are just happy to see them. But the final result is still unavoidable to put it in the mouth and swallow it in one gulp.
It's a pity that Xiaokou usually has nothing to do. "

"Men have always been obsessed with the beauty of fox spirits. How can there be fox spirits who are obsessed with men? The poor way to kill those fox spirits, peel off their fur, take their flesh and blood, and dig out their inner alchemy is not only to eliminate demons, but also to cultivate. It’s a little cruel, but it’s also for the benefit of the common people, protecting them from evil spirits.”

Shang Daoren looked upright, and said in a firm tone.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I don't think it's inappropriate to get rid of evil spirits. Although it's not something that a practitioner should do, I can't criticize it. But why should the Taoist priest hold back the souls of fox spirits and keep them forcibly?" , don’t let them be reincarnated?”

"The resentment is too heavy, if you let them go, you will become evil spirits, and the poor can't kill them, cutting off their chances of reincarnation, so they can only be imprisoned, and only wait for the day when they can find the fate and resolve their resentment before sending them away. Reincarnation in the underworld." Shang Dao said humanely.

In this way, apart from the inappropriateness of killing the fox for meat, this Shang Taoist seems to be understandable in every move.

Even Li Xiuyuan couldn't find any faults.

just
Li Xiuyuan thought of the ugly girl from before.

Since Taoist Shang killed the fox spirit for the sake of cultivation, why didn't he kill the ugly lady?

After searching all the way, he can be sure that Chou Niang must have been arrested by the magic of calling the fox to Gu Yue Temple.

Thinking of this, he asked: "Since the Taoist priest hunted the fox spirit for practice, why did I see a fox spirit turn into a puff of green smoke and fly into the Taoist temple before? It was a fox spirit with 800 years of Taoism. Could it be that the fox spirit was raised by the Taoist priest?"

Shang Daoren's eyes flickered, and then he said in amazement: "Oh, there is such a thing, the poor Taoist must pay attention, I am afraid that too many fox spirits hunted by the poor Taoist will cause the fox spirit to take revenge. Dao must take strict precautions in the next few days, find out that fox spirit, and kill him."

"That's right. But I think that fox spirit's nature is not bad. It's not easy to cultivate for 800 years. I think 200 years of suppression is enough. Isn't it inappropriate to kill him directly?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Teng Yunzi beside him also nodded and said: "Yes, 200 years of suppression is enough, after all, God has the virtue of good life."

"A fox spirit with 800 years of practice is also difficult to deal with. If you encounter a fight, it doesn't matter." Shang Daoren said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It doesn't matter, if the Taoist priest finds that fox spirit, we two brothers and sisters will help. Although we dare not speak nonsense, it is more than enough to capture that fox spirit."

"Oh, it's the poor Taoist's luck that the two fellow Taoists have such abilities. The poor Gu Yue Temple has to rely on two more fellow Taoists to cope with this disaster." Taoist Shang immediately said happily.
