Under One Person, Mountain and Sea Painting Demon

Huo! ! !

Unexpectedly, a bolt of thunder struck, illuminating the gloomy sky in an instant, and the entire world was plunged into pure white for an instant.

It was at this moment that an extremely pure and condensed lightning force directly penetrated the door and entered the room. As the lightning force swept through the room, screams were heard in the room!

soon……

crunch--

boom!

The door that was originally closed suddenly opened, and a figure slowly walked out. It was a middle-aged man.

Obviously, this was the cleaner who was possessed by the evil spirit. Although he looked like a burly man, his expression and body shape were that of a girl.

"This is……"

"Failed?"

Seeing this scene, the Taoist priests nearby were immediately horrified. They all thought that the old Taoist's talisman did not work.

However, Zhang Lingyu, who was standing in the front, smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal them not to panic: "Don't worry, the evil spirit has been eliminated. What we see now is just the last bit of attachment to the world before it regains its original consciousness and prepares to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation. It will soon dissipate."

As soon as he finished speaking...

Blah blah blah!

Suddenly, heavy rain began to fall from the sky. It came down so suddenly that it was like a river from the sky pouring down and directly "splashing" everyone.

And in the midst of this heavy rain, everyone could see wisps of black gas emerging from the man's body. The black gas condensed into two figures, one large and one small, in mid-air, holding each other's hands and standing quietly between heaven and earth.

soon……

The two figures leaned against each other, and gradually faded and dissipated under the rain that seemed to be able to wash away everything...

And when they completely dissipated, the man who was originally standing fell to his knees with a plop. A group of Taoist priests hurried forward to support him and carried him back into the room.

Just like that, under the spell of the old Heavenly Master, the evil spirits that had troubled the Taoists in the City God Temple were dispelled, the pure spirits were able to re-enter reincarnation, and the problem was easily resolved...

In this way, Zhang Lingyu's mission here was successfully completed, and the next few days would be completely his own time.

at the same time.

In a cafe not far from Chenghuang Temple.

A charming figure with long pink hair gently raised her head, looked at the heavy rain that suddenly fell from the sky, recalled the thunder that just appeared, and couldn't help but narrowed her eyes.

She could see that this thunderstorm was obviously not an ordinary astronomical phenomenon, but was deliberately caused by someone. In addition, the direction where the thunder fell was exactly the City God Temple not far away, so the answer was obvious.

"Those Taoist priests with big noses...are really showing off. Those bullies in the company only dare to show off in front of people like us." Xia He curled her lips in disdain, her eyes full of mockery.

Looking back, ever since I awakened my super powers, there has not been a single day that I haven’t lived in fear. The covetousness of the men around me, the pursuit of the company, that dark period... it was truly a nightmare!

At this moment……

"..."

Xia He's eyes suddenly moved and she looked around, and then she found that all the men around her stood up, as if they could no longer hold back.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but smile softly, thinking: "Men...are really animals who only think with their lower body."

He simply picked up the coffee in front of him and drank it all. Then he stood up, walked to the cashier in full view of everyone, and paid the money.

"No, no thanks. This cup of coffee is on me. Can I have your contact information?" Looking at the money Xia He handed over, the clerk's face suddenly turned red and he spoke hesitantly.

"Haha, little brother, sister is not so poor that I need you to treat me. Just accept it. No need to pay for the change." Xia He raised the corner of her mouth and smiled at him, then threw the bill and turned away.

"Ah, she's gone!"

It was not until then that the men who had been staring at Xia He in a daze finally woke up from their dreams and reacted. They immediately rushed out after her, obviously wanting to catch up and strike up a conversation.

however……

"Uh, where are the people?"

When they rushed out of the coffee shop, they were all stunned. There was only a thick rain curtain outside the shop, and no one was in sight.

……

……

Two hours later.

"Fellow Daoist Lingyu, thank you so much this time. Since you want to travel around Shanghai, why don't you let my disciples in the temple be your tour guide?" After dinner, Taoist Chen suggested to Zhang Lingyu with a smile.

"Um……"

"Forget it, thank you Brother Chen, but I won't use it. I just want to walk around by myself." Zhang Lingyu thought about it and finally refused.

As for the reason, it is still a question of "freedom". After finally coming down the mountain and being able to go out into the world, it would still be uncomfortable if there was someone else following me.

"However, if Brother Chen Dao has any recommended places to visit, I can make a list. Anyway, transportation is very convenient nowadays, so I can go and have a look," he added.

"Recommendations... OK, no problem!" Taoist Chen thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He then took out his mobile phone and sent a travel guide to the surrounding areas of Shanghai to Zhang Lingyu.

"This list is specially prepared for fellow Taoists and friends who come to Shanghai for sightseeing. It contains all kinds of places and is quite detailed."

From this point alone, we can see the difference between the Zhengyi School of Taoism and the Quanzhen School. If it were the Quanzhen School, it would be impossible for them to prepare such things.

The Zhengyi Sect is different. There are very few rules within the sect, and most of the disciples are no different from ordinary people besides practicing Taoism. It is quite normal for them to be considerate of friends who come to visit them.

"Okay, thank you very much, Brother Chen!" Looking down at the list, a smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Lingyu's face. He thanked him again and continued chatting.

Another half an hour passed before he got up and said goodbye to everyone in the City God Temple. The heavy rain had stopped by then, so he went out.

"Where to go next?"

After leaving the City God Temple, Zhang Lingyu began to walk on the street, without any specific direction or goal, just walking aimlessly and casually.

Along the way, his attire and long white hair attracted the attention of people around him, but this is Shanghai after all, which is much more tolerant than other cities. People just regarded him as a handsome guy who liked cosplay, and after looking at him a few more times, they looked away.

As for Zhang Lingyu...

He paid no attention to the looks cast at him and simply immersed himself in this brief moment of freedom, a pleasure he had not experienced in the past twenty years.

Of course, as the last disciple of the old Heavenly Master, his cultivation of his mind and character is quite good. He knows very well that this is just a different experience and will not shake his determination to practice Taoism at all.

In this way, Zhang Lingyu walked aimlessly on the streets of the HP area for a long time, until he entered a commercial street, and finally stopped.

As a famous wealthy area in Shanghai, the commercial street in HP District is quite prosperous and directly comparable to international standards. He raised his head slightly, and the brilliant neon lights were immediately reflected on his face, and the prosperous and lively scene also came into view.

"Oh, right..." At this time, Zhang Lingyu suddenly remembered, "I heard that Shanghai's nightlife is quite good, I should try it."

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but look at the pedestrians passing by in front of him. With an idea in mind, he picked up his mobile phone, looked at Taoist Chen's recommendation, and got into the crowd.

"bar……"

"looks good."

There is no rule that Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain cannot drink alcohol, and he has heard that this bar is the favorite place for young people to go at night nowadays.

So, he directly chose a bar recommended by Taoist Master Chen in the HP District, asked passers-by for directions, and followed the road...

……

……

at the same time.

Tianlong Bar.

"Beauty, would you like to have a drink with me?" A man walked up to Xia He with a glass of wine and gave her a wicked smile.

"Hey, give this beauty a glass of whiskey!" Without waiting for Xia He's response, he immediately called the bartender on his own initiative. The bartender trembled and immediately poured a glass of whiskey.

"Tsk..."

Seeing this, Xia He couldn't help but sigh, frowned slightly, and said to herself, "What bad luck."

You know, in order to drink quietly, she specifically found a gay bar for men to sit in. She had already done experiments and found that her ability had little effect on people who didn't like women.

However, she had no way of predicting that there would be such a group of uninvited guests in this gay bar tonight. They were not gay, but just came to mess up the place...

From her perspective, these guys were either rivals from a nearby bar, or a bunch of second-generation rich kids who had nothing to do and came here to have fun. They brought a lot of people with them, and they started verbally mocking the people in the bar as soon as they came in.

I can tell……

These guys must have a background, and a deep background, otherwise they would not choose to cause trouble in this land-scarce HP area. After all, anyone who can open a bar here is not a simple person.

And it was obvious that the people here also knew these guys. No matter they were drinkers or bartenders, they didn't dare to say anything after being ridiculed, and some even showed fear.

"Miss, here's the drink this gentleman is offering you..." Soon, a glass of iced whiskey was placed on the bar and pushed in front of Xia He.

"Beauty, come, how about having a drink with your brother?" The man grinned upon seeing this, and immediately picked up his own wine glass, with his other hand ready to put on Xia He's shoulder.

"Ha ha……"

"Okay~"

Seeing the man taking action, Xia He couldn't help but smile slightly, with a cold light in her eyes.

Although she was born with the ability to "charm", she was not a fickle person. On the contrary, because of the disasters caused by her ability, she had always been extremely disgusted with those guys who were dominated by their lower bodies.

Snapped!

The next second, the man's hand rested on Xia He's shoulder, and then his whole body trembled, his eyes widened, and confusion appeared in his eyes.

Soon, this confusion was dispelled by deep desire. An obscene smile appeared on the man's face, and his hand on Xia He's shoulder immediately moved.

However, Xia He stood up suddenly and took a step back at lightning speed, dodging the man's palm, then raised her right hand and gently hooked her index finger.

After teasing the man, her gaze turned to his companions. With her intentional release of her ability, more than a dozen men were instantly fascinated by her.

"Come with me, hehe~" After controlling these men, Xia He smiled charmingly, hooked her hand again, and then turned and walked towards the back door of the bar.

Behind her, a dozen men who were originally aggressive and arrogant now had foolish expressions on their faces, with their mouths wide open and drooling, and they just followed her out of the back door.

Soon, Xia He brought these guys to a dark alley at the back door. This is where the bar disposes of garbage. There are usually no people here, and it is dark and empty.

Above everyone's head, the dim light flickered from time to time, and mosquitoes flew around the light or lay on the lampshade, which was quite appropriate for the scene.

"Hahaha, beauty, what do you want to do by bringing us here?" At this time, someone couldn't help but speak.

"Hey, do you even need to ask? It's pitch dark here, and you can tell at a glance that they want to have something exciting!" Someone whistled.

"Shut the fuck up!"

Hearing that his younger brother dared to speak first, the man who had chatted with Xia He before frowned and shouted, turning his head with a fierce look.

It was obvious that he didn't want to share his "prey" with these guys. After all, it was a rare and top-quality product, and he wanted to keep it for himself to enjoy!

however……

"Why should I shut up!"

Suddenly, someone became dissatisfied and retorted loudly, catching the man off guard.

"Do you fucking want to die!"

The man's eyes glared angrily, and he raised his hand and pointed at the person who spoke, as if he would teach him a lesson if the other person said another word.

However, the man did not expect that when he said this, it seemed to instantly ignite the anger of these people. Everyone's face darkened and they took a step forward at the same time.

"Brother, what's wrong? You have good things but you don't want to share them with your brothers?" Someone spoke loudly, and immediately attracted the agreement of the others.

"Hehehe..."

Seeing this scene, Xia He couldn't help but smile. She jumped lightly and sat on the trash can beside her, supporting her head with her hands, as if she was watching a good show.

In fact, for her, this is indeed her daily drama to relieve boredom. Don’t these disgusting guys want to get her?

Then let’s fight first!

"you!"

A few seconds later, the man called "Big Brother" couldn't help it anymore. He naturally couldn't tolerate that these guys who usually followed him around and fawned on him dared to be so rude to him today.
