Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 531 Fox Bottle
Because it was already night, and after adding some discussion, the Taoists of Gu Yue Temple enthusiastically stayed Li Xiuyuan and Teng Yunzi overnight.

"This Shang Taoist is weird." Inside the room, Li Xiuyuan said via voice transmission.

"Why did you say that, Junior Brother? Although Shang Taoist said that he practiced external alchemy and hunted monsters to nourish himself, although the methods were a bit cruel, but if all he subdued were evil monsters, he would not damage his morality, let alone attract evil spirits." The catastrophe, why do you have doubts?" Teng Yunzi said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's because of that ugly fox. He has killed countless fox spirits. How could he tolerate an 800-year-old fox spirit who has a grudge against him to survive? Didn't the senior brother say it before, that fox spirit was even more despised by others?" It was called away by magic, that is to say, there is an expert behind that ugly fox. And
There are many tanned fox furs, dried fox meat, and white fox banners in the Guyue temple. These obvious evidences all tell me that the ugly fox must be related to this Shang Taoist. "

"But Shang Daoren pretended to be ignorant when he was asked about it, and lied to conceal it."

"A truly virtuous person who cultivates the Tao is very taboo to lie. Lying is tantamount to violating the original heart, which is easy to deceive the aura and affect the practice. This is the same as a monk who does not tell lies."

"Although there are some doubts, this is the Taoist view of Shang Taoist. We are guests. Even if there are evil spirits, it is still the business of Shang Taoist. How can we take care of it?" Teng Yunzi shook his head.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Brother is a cultivator, so naturally he won't meddle in his own business, and he will do whatever he wants, but I am not a cultivator, so I have to deal with some things when I encounter them."

"I have a hunch that today will not be peaceful."

And when two people are talking.

In a quiet room in the backyard, Taoist Shang waved the boy away and stayed in the room alone.

He took out a bottle from his sleeve.

It is a colorful glass bottle, the style is a bit old, not like a modern thing, but it is still radiant and dazzling, and it is a treasure of the fairy family at a glance.

Daoren Shang suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed, but the vase in front of him suddenly became bigger. When it became the size of a person, he suddenly flew away and flew into the vase with a whoosh.

A small vase, which forms a space of its own, is surrounded by a circle with a size of one mile, and some small houses are built next to the vase.

It doesn't look like a place for people to live in, but it looks like a place for cats and dogs to live in.

"Chou Niang, if you still don't get out, don't tell me you want the poor Taoist to invite you out?" Shang Daoren sneered coldly.

The sound echoed in the vase.

Immediately, several heads protruded from the nearby small houses.

There are foxes, bobcats, weasels, hedgehogs and other small animals in the forest, but most of them are foxes.

Moreover, these are not ordinary beasts, they are all spirit monsters with Taoism, and their Taoism ranges from decades to hundreds of years.

The appearance of Shang Daoren obviously made these spirits feel fear, and they all prostrated on the ground and groaned, looking at him in fear.

at this time.

A gray fox ran out of a small house in a rustle. It changed within two steps and turned into a gorgeously dressed, dark-skinned, rather ugly woman.

Who would this woman be if she wasn't the ugly girl Li Xiuyuan was after?
"Greetings, master." Chou Niang knelt on the ground and said with a fearful expression.

With a wave of the whisk in Shang Daoren's hand, it immediately turned into an iron whip and slapped Chou Niang fiercely. Only a painful cry was heard, but Chou Niang was knocked down on the ground, and the clothes on her shoulders It was torn open, revealing a bloody scar.

"What did the poor Taoist order you? I thought you had been obedient all these years, but I didn't expect that you were still uncomfortable. I actually recruited two Taoist priests for the poor Taoist priest. What do you want to do? I want to use the hands of those two Taoist priests to take you in." Let's go, so we can get out of the control of the fox pindao?"

"Crack~!"

After finishing speaking, the whisk flicked again, and the iron whip that turned into landed on Chou Niang's body again.

Chou Niang cried out in pain and fell to the ground again, her back was torn apart, but through the torn clothes, one could clearly see that her back was full of scars, and some old wounds had healed, but Left a scar.

"Or did you see that the last fox spirit was protected, and the poor Taoist had no choice but to take it, so you were all moved?" Shang Daoren flicked the whisk again, and the whip hit Chou Niang's body again.

Immediately, there was a whip mark on Chou Niang's face, but she saw that her face was covered with blood, curled up in pain and made a whining sound.

"Master, please forgive Chou Niang. She has been stealing essence for Master, and she has never made a mistake. It was an accident that Chou Niang accidentally provoked two Taoists this time. Please forgive her, Master. "Beside another fox spirit prostrated on the ground, uttering words, crying while shedding tears.
Mouth pleaded.

"Forgive?" Shang Taoist said coldly: "After decades of practicing in the poor way, the nourishing essence is about to reach perfection, and the avenue of achievement is not far away. All this is because the poor way is careful in handling things, plus When the world is chaotic, it is not good for the Thunder Department of Tiangong to inspect the world, and only the poor can do it.

Steal the heavenly secrets, avoid disaster and become enlightened. "

"If half of this matter is leaked out, if the poor Taoist catastrophe suddenly strikes before he becomes enlightened, he will be bombarded by five thunders, and his soul will be wiped out."

"In the past few years, the poor Taoist has rarely let you go out to steal essence, leaving only a few fox spirits to do things outside. I didn't expect that the person who should have the least problem has a problem. Now the two Taoists are in Resting in the Taoist temple, threatening to arrest you bastard, ugly girl, how do you think this will end?

Chou Niang covered her bloodied face, she held back the pain and said: "Master, those two Taoists are just as good as they are, master only needs to send us spirit monsters out, and we can kill them all tonight, so that no one will notice the master done."

"Crack~!"

Before he finished speaking, Shang Daoren flung him away with a whisk.

Chou Niang let out a cry of pain, but saw that her scalp was torn open and blood spattered.

"The Taoists who practice inner alchemy must have a teacher's inheritance, not to mention that they are brothers and sisters. Do you want to kill the poor Taoist?" Shang Taoist snorted coldly: "It seems that the days to let you out are a bit long Don't think so, don't think that the poor Taoist can't see that you deliberately lured those two Taoists.

Coming. "

"Since you can't solve this matter, let the poor Taoist solve it. The poor Taoist will release you tomorrow, and then arrest you with a spell, and kill you in front of the two Taoists. The reason is to stay in Pindao's Guyue Temple. The 800-year-old fox's flesh and inner alchemy are still there.

I haven't tasted it, I believe that Pindao Tonic will be able to reach perfection. "

Chou Niang trembled all over when she heard the words, her eyes revealed a look of horror.

The tonic that Shang Taoists do is nothing more than peeling the skin to get the meat, taking the inner alchemy, cooking and eating it.

Over the years she was accused, she had seen countless fox spirits eaten by this Taoist. The reason why she survived was simply because she obeyed the order of this Taoist and stole the essence of mortals for him.

"Although it's a pity to kill you, after all, Pindao has caught the fox spirit with the highest morality these years, but the opportunity for Pindao to become a Taoist is not far away, and you can't show your flaws because of you, besides, you were the one who brought this up , took your life for the poor to avoid this catastrophe, for you, it is considered a successful retirement
It is. ”

Shang Daoren looked indifferent, looking at the ugly girl lying on the ground covered in blood and frightened.

"I hope you don't have to play any tricks before tomorrow, otherwise all the spirits here will die in a rage, including your so-called sisters of the same race. If this goes well, I will consider letting others go after I become a Taoist." way of life."

With a heavy hum, Shang Daoren flicked his sleeves, took off into the air and got out of the vase.

until he leaves.

In the hut in the vase, hundreds of spirits sprang out rustlingly, they ran to Chou Niang's side and surrounded her, and some fox spirits even licked her wounds.

"Chou Niang, you can't beat Taoist Shang. He has a fox bottle in his hand and can defeat all fox spirits in the world. So what if you attracted two Taoists? Those two Taoists didn't even know what happened to us. Even if you know it, so what, people who cultivate the Tao are all the same, they all like to kill demons
Devil, who would sympathize with our ghosts? "A lame fox spirit walked over with a limp, lowered his head and said helplessly.

Chou Niang resisted the pain on her body and said: "That Taoist is different. He is a very special person. I understood it when I fought with him before. He possesses the magical magic of the gods and can kill the thousand-year-old demon, but he has never been able to kill the demon." Me, just threatened to suppress me for 200 years, and he is not partial to mortals

, The philosophy he upholds makes me admire even as a fox spirit. "

"As I expected, that Taoist came after me. He didn't come to Gu Yue Temple to kill me, but to suppress me and punish me for what I did in the world, so I chose to put my life on him , if he can stop Shang Taoist, you will be saved, even if it is death, at least

It is rare to be able to enter reincarnation, and will not be used up like other fox spirits to kill and arrest souls, and be imprisoned in white fox banners, and will never be reborn forever. "

"But Chou Niang, you are going to die tomorrow, we can't get out of the fox bottle, so how can we let that Taoist know about Shang Taoist's evil deeds?" a ghost sighed.

"Everything in the fox bottle is transformed by mana, so it can't get out of the fox bottle, but there is one exception." Chou Niang bit her lip and said.

The ghosts asked, "What is it?"

"Some time ago, Shang Taoist caught a fox spirit with good fortune. He didn't dare to arrest him or use it for nourishment. In order not to cause trouble, the fox spirit was sent to some place. Although the fox spirit left But she left one thing in the fox bottle." Chou Niang said.

The other spirits remembered, and immediately a quick-moving fox ran away, and soon brought a piece of clothing.

"It's this dress."

However, he saw that the clothes were stained with a special aura, and there was a faint purple aura shrouded in it.

"That's right. The fox spirit said that this dress can protect spirits and monsters from robbery. Although it is a vulgar item, it is not vulgar. Although I go out with this item, if it falls in front of that Taoist, it will definitely attract attention. Shang Taoist's various crimes were written on this shirt, and his sins were handed over to the two Taoists outside.

Knowing that, Shang Taoist will definitely be doomed. "Chou Niang said.

"But if we do this, once the matter is exposed, we will all die. Shang Taoist has already said that if he becomes an immortal and attains the Tao, he will let us live." A fox spirit said timidly.

Chou Niang shouted: "Don't be naive, even if Shang Daoist has become a fairy, he still has apprentices and grandchildren. When the time comes, the fox bottle will change hands, but it will be a different person to enslave us. We can only fight to the death. To end this nightmare, I worked hard to find these two Taoists,
If you miss this opportunity, it will be hard to find it in the future. I have practiced for 800 years and I am not afraid of death. Is it possible that you have not had enough of such a hard life. "

The fox spirit bowed her head in remorse after being drunk.

The other fox spirits nodded in agreement, willing to fight to the death.

They bit their front feet one after another, dripping blood into ink, and wrote Shang Taoist's crimes on the clothes.

I just hope that I can be seen by those two Taoists tomorrow and rescue myself from the sea of ​​suffering.

If this is not possible, they will inevitably be peeled and tanned like other fox spirits before, dried into meat, and refined into pills for human consumption.

Li Xiuyuan didn't know about the spell in the fox bottle.

He didn't fall asleep today, but meditated for a few hours to recover his energy and strength, while paying attention to the movements in the Taoist temple.

It was a strangely peaceful night.

No ghosts or ghosts appeared, and no one disturbed.

He hoped to find the ugly fox, but after searching for a long time with the profound entrance technique, he searched all around but couldn't find the ugly fox.

But the brother's dharma sword has obviously landed near the Taoist temple.

The white fox banner he saw yesterday also made him suspicious.

"If the fox spirit can't be suppressed, the matter this time won't be successful, and I'm afraid we won't be able to go to Tianmu Mountain." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

He felt that this matter was more important than going to Tianmu Mountain.

Tianzhushan just accepted the invitation of the master, but this matter is related to his promise.

The day passed quickly.

Early the next morning.

Li Xiuyuan got up early, and he breathed out the turbid air of yesterday in the face of the sun's rays, and then caught a breeze with his thin hands, and summoned the dew to clean his face.

The same is true for Teng Yunzi next to him.

Although he didn't stay in the Taoist temple for a long time, he was already used to the living habits of some Taoists.

"Two priests, my master is here to invite you." At this moment, a Taoist came over, gave a salute, and announced.

"I don't know why Shang Dao invited you, why?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The Taoist said: "The family affairs say that this matter has something to do with the fox spirit."

Oh?
Fox spirit?

Did the Shang Taoist find the ugly fox?
Li Xiuyuan's eyes flashed brightly.

Because he thought it was impossible, he didn't find the fox spirit yesterday, how did this Taoist find the way?
Unless that ugly fox is always in his hands.

"Since it is such an important matter, how dare we delay it." Li Xiuyuan nodded and went with senior brother Teng Yunzi.
