This is also called being righteous and compassionate
realize it was at the foot of my bed until the Corpse Swamp disappeared. It was a close call.“This Ruyi recognizes people. You can use this Ruyi to summon Lei Zu, which means you have been recognized...The demons of Taoism are the two sides of Taoist practices.
Everyone talks about demons and gods, this is the duality of cultivation. The righteous path taken to its extreme can lead to becoming an immortal or a god. The demonic path taken to its extreme can also lead to becoming a monster or a demon.
The old man squinted at me: "You... encountered"
Not only did I encounter them, but I was also stabbed and had my blood drawn. They said something about a blood pact... But I still haven't felt anything out of the ordinary.
The old Taoist pursued and asked: "Where were you stabbed"
I extended my wrist, the place where Black Emperor had stabbed me was already healed, now there was only a faint pink mark.
From the moment I was attacked at the Shen Family Treasure Pavilion, I recounted everything that happened to us in detail. Of course, the core purpose wasn't to subdue demons and exorcise evil spirits, but...
"Are you looking for the Sixi Ghostly Artifact to summon and pacify souls" The old Taoist priest frowned slightly as he listened to me.
I nodded. "We've come across two ghost lamps along the way, but...we don't know which one is a part of the Six Extremes Ghostly Apparatus..."
I took out two differently shaped lamps for the old Taoist priest to have a look at.
The old Taoist frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on me deeply: "Young friend, it seems you are a person of great fortune... There is a faint radiance about you, and the sinister energy on these two lamps has been suppressed quite a bit by you..."
Celestial light I looked down at my own hand... Perhaps after getting intimate with Jiang Qiyun, I was imbued with a bit of fairy energy.
"I have indeed gone through many things, but since you've secluded yourself in the mountains, I won't bring up these mundane affairs. Could you tell me, does your sect have any way to track these little Buddhas I want to join the investigation."
The old Taoist shook his head and said: "If your friend has been troubled by demons, then you must find the demon that harmed him to know what happened… But the demon world is infinite and boundless. Ordinary people have no way to enter it, much like searching for a needle in the ocean."
"The Sixiang Ghost Apparatus is indeed an option... but it depends on fate... Gathering these ancient artifacts scattered throughout the world would be incredibly difficult..."
“As for tracking down the Bronze Talisman Buddha… my master’s founder was once a direct disciple of one of the seventeen Daoist masters. He left behind a secret treasure map. If the Buddha is awakened, the map will display its location. Shanyuan used this method step by step to track down one of them and brought it back to the mountain to dispel its malicious energy and eliminate demonic thoughts.”
I glanced at my brother. In this vast world, to track someone down according to their direction, it might take a year and a half just to find them.
It all depends on luck. If you're unlucky, the little Buddha will be awakened once and then fall silent again, and no one knows what to do then.
It seems that finding the demon who hurt Lin Yanhuan is almost impossible.
"Don't be disheartened, young friend. The one who bestowed the Blood Pact upon you is a Northern Divine Being from the Demon Realm. Legend has it that he resides in a secluded and tranquil world known as Yutan Wildlands. That place is probably unknown to even celestial beings, for our lineage possesses numerous tales of the Demon Realm passed down through generations... This old man spent ten years compiling these stories into a book, which I can lend you. You might just make an unexpected discovery." The Taoist said warmly.
I quickly thanked him, thinking that the old man had spent ten years organizing these books, they must be thick and heavy, perhaps taking weeks to go through.
Who knew the old Taoist called upon his disciple Xiao Shanming to bring us a "scroll".
It's truly a "notebook," a brand-new mini laptop.
"Every single character was input by me! We all cherish Master's handwritten things and wouldn't dare to flip through them randomly, so we just look at the copied attachments on the computer... This is mine, and my senior and junior brothers and sisters each have a copy too."
“Your school's pretty… up-to-date, huh…” I took the pocket computer and flipped through it.
“Of course, Master is quick-witted and cheerful. He's always interested in new things. My senior sister sends us all sorts of new things every month from the mountain. Both my phone and Senior Brother Zong's were bought by my senior sister... but I just saw that Senior Brother Zong's phone seems to have a cracked screen. He said that Shen Dao-you broke it previously…” Xiao Shanming scratched his head.
"Tell Shen Qingru to pay up, no need to be polite. She's even wealthier than us." My brother snorted.
The old Taoist let out a series of hearty chuckles: “Don’t worry, don’t worry, these are just minor things… Here are some talismans specially made for vanquishing demons. Perhaps you could take them home and try them on your unconscious friend to see if they work”
I hurriedly took the several sheets of talisman paper and carefully asked, "Thank you, old immortal, for bestowing talismans. May I ask about the fee for this縁 "
The old Taoist smiled, a shrewd glint flashing in his eyes: "A fee for meeting This is a gift from me to my young friend... My young friend, there is a faint glow of lotus behind you, must have a divine protector. Hehehe..."
He closed his eyes and muttered incantations, sitting cross-legged on the kang. His voice was low as he chanted: "Immense merit and virtue, all ghosts and demons rejoice in taking refuge; Majestic power and grace, all people share in its blessings…"
Sweat, did this old immortal feel it Otherwise, how could he start chanting the *Fēngdū Bǎogào*
Master Zongdao pushed the door open and bowed to his master, reporting that he had prepared the dishes. The old master told us to go eat first and not worry about him; he needed to add a seal to this bronze talisman Buddha.
We bade farewell and Zong Daochang led us to the kitchen courtyard. The east wing of the courtyard was the kitchen, while the main hall served as the dining room.
The dining room was very simple, with a square table and four long benches. Master Zong invited us to sit down, and my brother patted him on the shoulder and said, “If you were to marry into the Shen family, our little Qiao could justifiably sit at the top seat. Otherwise, as the host and older than us, you'd let us sit first I’m afraid Qiao wouldn't be able to bear it.”
Master Zongdao smiled and said, "Daoist Mu's words are indeed witty. The disciples of your esteemed family are all outstanding individuals. I am unworthy to associate with them."
He didn't try to hide anything or play hard to get. He wasn't showing any particular interest in Shen Qingrui either, and he seemed very open and honest.
Then Master Zongdao took the head seat, my brother and I sat side by side on one side, Shen Qingrui sat opposite us. The dishes were all fresh vegetables and vegetarian meat that we had brought.
As ascetics, they naturally wouldn't be picky eaters.
“These were done by Master Zong, weren’t they” I tried to find some lighter topic.
Zong Daozhang nodded and said, “As the eldest disciple, I am responsible for taking care of Master and my younger brother’s daily life, including their meals. Naturally, I have learned how to cook.”
"My little sister Qiao is a great cook, come over for a visit next time you're in the neighborhood... You can drop by the Shen family too, but that place is usually out of the way since it's pretty remote." My brother said with a smile.
"Does the head of the household still need to cook himself" Master Zong frowned at me.
Of course it's needed, wouldn't he think that the head of the family would be surrounded by a bunch of disciples, having food and clothing provided for them
My brother raised an eyebrow and fanned the flames: "Miss Qiao, as the current head of the household, needs to cook. But if Shen Qingrui, the nominal heir, takes over in the future, it'll probably be just like you imagined - stepping through the threshold would be like a noblewoman leaving the palace."
Shen Qingrui frowned and said, "I'm not interested in this family drama. Please don't drag me into it."
My brother smirked and stroked his chin, "This Daoist Master has apologized to you several times already, yet you still hold a grudge. You should at least not disgrace the Shen family's reputation, right Shouldn't you try to reconcile Don't act like a porcupine, ready to explode with every word. You... make me wonder if you've done something shady..."he air here felt very chaotic.In crowded places, the energy field becomes chaotic. Temples and Taoist monasteries were originally places for quiet contemplation and should be auspicious locations with...
