Chapter 133
When Xie Changyun was seven years old, he met his master, Taoist in white in Tianxue Mountain. Since then, he has been living with Taoist in white on Tianxue Mountain to learn Taoism.
The white-clothed Taoist has no other disciples except him, and the daily life of the two masters and apprentices is also very simple. The white-clothed Taoist often goes down the mountain to catch and exorcise demons for the nearby villagers, and occasionally brings Xie Changyun with him to let him gain insight.
Taoist priests in white sometimes travel far away to visit friends in distant places or to go to a certain place to punish evil spirits, and they go for several months.
On days when the white-clothed Taoist was away, he would usually tell Xie Changyun not to go down the mountain alone. If Xie Changyun was more rebellious, he might have sneaked down the mountain long ago.
However, Xie Changyun has never been rebellious. He is a serious and obedient disciple. If the Taoist in white won’t let him go down the mountain, he really has never gone down the mountain by himself.
Life in Tianxue Mountain is difficult and interesting, Taoist Bai Yi is a man of great morality, Xie Changyun is talented, he has learned the truth, and is willing to study hard, so he is very capable, but he lacks experience in practice.
Xie Changyun once thought that it would be good if he stayed in Tianxue Mountain for the rest of his life like this, but the Taoist priest in white was approaching his end of life. One day after Xie Changyun became an adult, he suddenly called Xie Changyun to his room and gave him an umbrella and A bag of broken silver, said to him: “Whether human or demon, they all have their own fate, after the death of the teacher, you can go down the mountain!”
After saying this, the Taoist in white sat down.
Xie Changyun has always been a good and obedient disciple. After properly burying his master’s bones, he packed his bags and left Tianxue Mountain where he had lived for eighteen years.
After Xie Changyun went down the mountain, he didn’t know where he was going. Remembering what his master had said about the beautiful scenery of the southern water town, he decided to keep heading south.
The outside world is completely different from Tianxue Mountain. The scenery is the same, so are the people, and the demon is no exception.
There is no need to spend money to eat, drink and live in Tianxue Mountain, but Xie Changyun looks very innocent and easy to deceive when asking for money outside. He has been taken advantage of many times, and the bag of broken silver given by the master soon becomes empty.
Xie Changyun began to eat and sleep in the open. On the road, he would occasionally encounter ghosts and little monsters who did evil. He would take action to solve the mortals who were haunted by the ghosts. Sometimes he would get a thank you, and those who were richer would give him some food or money.
Xie Changyun usually only accepts the food given by others, and does not know how to accept money. He has a clean sleeve and the money bag is extremely clean.
It’s not that he looks down on it, but he feels that he doesn’t need it, and he won’t die of hunger and thirst without money. Whether he has things outside his body or not, it doesn’t matter.
After walking through several small towns, Xie Changyun clearly felt that the monsters he encountered recently had become more and more difficult, and they all seemed to have the same purpose—most of them came for his umbrella.
Xie Changyun’s umbrella was given to him by the Taoist priest in white when he was about to transform. It’s called cartilage. It looks very ordinary from the outside, just a plain oiled paper umbrella, but any monster who has seen this umbrella knows that it is an extremely A powerful magic weapon, many monsters are folded under this umbrella.
Xie Changyun himself didn’t know, he walked all the way from Tianxue Mountain, and gradually became famous among the monsters. If they didn’t know his name, the monsters called him the Umbrella Holder, saying how powerful he was, even the mountain monsters of Baixi Mountain They shouldn’t be able to beat him.
Some monsters like to torture and kill all kinds of demon priests the most. After hearing Xie Changyun’s name, they automatically came to the door.
People who don’t know Xie Changyun, but they know his umbrella, a knowledgeable big monster, knows that Xie Changyun’s umbrella is not ordinary, after careful inspection, he finds that the rib of this umbrella is actually made of the ribs of the big monster with the most powerful blood in ancient times Made.
This big demon’s bloodline is extraordinary, he was very powerful during his lifetime and was almost the existence of a demon king, if his flesh and blood can be eaten by a demon after death, he can also greatly increase his cultivation base, which is a treasure envied by all demons.
It’s fine if you don’t know, but now that you know the origin of this umbrella, it’s a battle between a hundred monsters, and they all want to kill Xie Changyun and take away his umbrella.
So Xie Changyun encountered more and more monsters along the way, but fortunately he has solid skills, ordinary monsters are not his opponents, and his experience against monsters has increased rapidly in a short period of time.
Xie Changyun generally would not take the initiative to find a demon to kill, because the white-clothed Taoist said that people are divided into good and bad, and monsters are also good and evil. Not all monsters should be killed. After all, a long time ago, there were demons who devoted themselves to Tao and eventually became immortals. story.
It has to be said that although the Taoist in white is a Taoist priest who exorcises demons, his thinking is rare, and so is Xie Changyun who was taught by him.
When he was walking in the mountains and forests, he often encountered mountain goblins, but only those who did evil would be collected into his bag, and his spiritual wisdom and body would be eliminated, leaving nothing in the end.
When passing through a dense barren mountain again, Xie Changyun met a tiger demon who was bullying a woman.
When she saw someone passing by, the woman turned her head and cried to him for help.
When Xie Changyun looked over, he saw the woman in the bright yellow dress who was pressed down by the tiger demon, with tears streaming down her face. Xie Changyun, who thought she was a mortal, didn’t even think about it, and just started, the tiger demon quickly entered In his demon collection bag.
The woman was rescued, and before she could thank her, the man who saved her didn’t even look at her, and turned around and left, as if he didn’t save people just now, but just brushed off an obtrusive leaf.
Fearing that there are other monsters haunting this wild forest, the rescued woman is Jing Zhao, and quickly followed Xie Changyun’s footsteps.
The two walked forward one after another like this. After walking for a long time, Xie Changyun stopped, looked behind him, and asked, “Why do you keep following me?”
There was no disgust or impatience on his expression, just a slight doubt.
Jing Zhao bit his lip, and said weakly, “I’m scared in this mountain alone, please do me a favor, take me down the mountain together!”
After hearing her finish, Xie Changyun seemed to have accepted her words, left her alone and walked forward.
This is a continuous mountain range, and it is bound to take a long time to go down the mountain to find the town.
The soles of Jing Zhao’s embroidered shoes had long since been worn out, with blisters and scratches on the soles of her feet. Even though Xie Changyun wasn’t walking fast, she was gradually falling behind.
Fortunately, it was getting late, Xie Changyun finally stopped, picked up some dry firewood on the spot, lit a fire, and then went out again, and when he came back, he had an extra pheasant in his hand that had been processed.
Jing Zhao was opposite him, sitting against a big tree across the fire, watching him with some surprise in putting a pheasant on a stick and roasting it on the fire.
It turned out that he also ate meat, and she thought that a Taoist priest like him only ate vegetarian food.
Indeed, there are many Taoist priests who do not eat meat and fish and only eat vegetarian food on weekdays, saying that this is good for their practice, but Xie Changyun’s master Taoist Baiyi scoffs at this. It is the food used to fill the stomach, and there is no difference in essence.
If you blindly stick to various forms, you will lose the most pure Taoism.
Xie Changyun kept in mind his master’s teachings, eating chicken was delicious, and he remembered that there was another person beside him after eating half of it. He hesitated for a while, then broke off a piece of chicken leg from the side he hadn’t touched and handed it to Jing Zhao, saying: :”Give you.”
Jing Zhao was indeed hungry, so he took it after thanking him.
The chicken has no seasoning and no salt taste. It tastes dry and a little fishy. I don’t know why this person looks so delicious.
After eating, Xie Changyun meditated and rested on the spot, closed his eyes, and maintained a straight posture, with the cartilage umbrella still on his back.
The fire in front of him was crackling, and Jing Zhao raised his eyes to see the man with his legs crossed in an extremely upright posture. The flames danced, reflecting the outline of his eyebrows and eyes. He was rare and handsome, and he was more handsome than some fox monsters. It’s even better.
It’s just that there has been no expression on his face, and he looks a little dull.
The night was dark, and the mountains gradually became foggy, and the shadows of the trees swayed like ghosts.
Jing Zhao looked at it, and suddenly said, “Prince Daoist, did you hear… any sound?”
Xie Changyun, who had kept his eyes closed all this time, suddenly opened them and looked in Jing Zhao’s direction. His eyes were like torches, brighter than the fire in front of him.
When Jing Zhao was still at a loss, he saw Xie Changyun get up suddenly, and neatly pulled out the cartilage umbrella on his back to stab her.
Under Jing Zhao’s surprised gaze, the cartilage umbrella slid past her face and spun behind her with Xie Changyun.
Jing Zhao stood up from the ground, and saw that Xie Changyun was already wrestling with an unusually thick snake demon.
Compared with subduing the tiger demon, Xie Changyun is now truly in a fighting state. The cartilage umbrella hangs in the air and slowly opens, casting a faint golden light. The snake demon wailed when it touched the golden light, and the snake’s eyes There was a burst of resentful red light, and he turned his head and attacked the cartilage umbrella.
Xie Changyun directly recalled the cartilage umbrella behind his back, closed the index finger and **** of his right hand, and drew a rune directly in the void. Once the rune was completed, he was driven into the body of the snake demon. The snake demon fell to the ground with a “bang”, like an earthworm. Generally, it twists wildly on the dust covered with litter.
Xie Changyun stepped forward to get closer, untied the demon bag, and put it in.
After Xie Changyun finished collecting the snake demon, he walked to the fire and sat down, and poked the fire with a branch to make the open fire burn more vigorously.
After doing this, Xie Changyun did not continue to meditate with his eyes closed, but looked at the fire with his eyes open, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xie Changyun just suddenly remembered his master. When he was still in Tianxue Mountain, he followed the white-clothed Taoist down the mountain to eliminate demons for the first time, and what he eliminated was a snake demon that killed people.
At that time, his Taoism was not as advanced as it is now, and he was accidentally injured by the snake demon. In a rage, his master beat the snake demon back to its original shape and took him back to make soup for him.
That was the worst food Xie Changyun had ever eaten so far.
Xie Changyun was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly felt something approaching beside him, turned his head and saw the mortal woman he had rescued, sitting beside him.
Xie Changyun frowned subconsciously, and saw the woman raised her head, tears rolled down her cheeks, trembling, leaning against him, pointing her finger at a swaying tree shadow behind her, her voice sounded like she was about to cry As if coming out, “Master Daoist, there seems to be some movement over there.”
Xie Changyun raised his eyes and looked in the direction she was pointing at, then looked away after a while and said, “It’s just the wind.”
“Oh…” Jing Zhao responded slowly, but refused to leave Xie Changyun’s side, and lowered his eyes and said, “I’m so scared, Taoist priest, do you think there will be monsters coming tonight?”
Xie Changyun put his hands on his knees and said bluntly, “I don’t know.” Maybe, maybe not.
Jing Zhao pursed his lips, and stopped talking, but quietly hooked the edge of Xie Changyun’s skirt with his fingers, as if this would make her feel more at ease.
Sensing the movement around him, Xie Changyun turned his eyes sideways, saw that she was just grabbing his skirt and ignored her, then continued to close his eyes and concentrate on resting.
