Liaozhai Great Sage

"Hehe, it seems that Brother Li is also a straightforward, free-spirited person, not that vulgar. You and I are both like-minded people, so we shouldn't be so ignorant. We will worship at the mountain gate tomorrow, maybe we will still be brothers from the same sect." Cheng Le laughed.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and replied, "That's the reason."

He felt that this scholar in a Taoist robe was a good person, very straightforward, and friendly to others. This personality was indeed very suitable for seeking immortality.

The most important thing for a cultivator is to have a broad mind, and not to be too obsessed, otherwise it is easy to fall into robbery and die.

"Brother Cheng is a scholar with a great reputation, why is he dressed like a Taoist?" Li Xiuyuan asked after sitting down.

Cheng Le smiled and said: "Before coming here, I changed into a Taoist robe and took a fly whisk. Even if I couldn't succeed in asking the immortals, it's not bad to live here in seclusion for the rest of my life."

Li Xiuyuan nodded, feeling the determination of Chengle Qiuxian.

He is a real person who sees through the world of mortals, is tired of fighting in the world, and hopes to escape into the mountain gate.

"Brother Li is from Guobei County? When I passed by, I stayed at Lanruo Temple outside Guobei County for a few nights. How is the abbot there, Master Kong?" Cheng Le asked curiously.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "Master Liaokong has already sat down, Lanruo Temple has also been abandoned, and now it has been converted into another temple."

Cheng Le was shocked and said: "Why is this? Isn't Lanruo Temple a good temple? Why did it fall into disuse after only a few years of work?"

"Brother Cheng has been to Lanruo Temple and should know that there is a thousand-year-old banyan tree on the mountain behind Lanruo Temple." Li Xiuyuan said with a suppressed voice.

"I know, I know, many pilgrims hang marriage cards on the sacred tree to pray, and Xiaosheng also went to see it." Cheng Le nodded repeatedly.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head slightly and said: "The thousand-year-old banyan tree has become a spirit, and turned into a tree demon to cause trouble in Lanruo Temple. Master Liaokong sat and transformed in the back mountain, leaving a golden body to suppress the tree demon, but failed, and hundreds of people died as a result."

"What? There is such a thing." Cheng turned pale with shock.

Recalling the scene when he stayed at Lanruo Temple a few years ago, he did not expect that in the past few years, a thousand-year-old tree spirit appeared in Lanruo Temple, killing hundreds of people.

"The monster harms people, so what happened?" Zhou Cai who was next to him was surprised and couldn't help asking.

Li Xiuyuan sighed: "I am a local scholar, so I can't ignore it. I brought a few people, bought enough kerosene, and set fire to the back mountain. The tree demon was burned to death. I didn't forget it before I died." Curse me, I feel a little scared when I think about it, it was really dangerous at that time."

"Well done, brother Li, this fire is good, that damned tree demon is killing people, I should have burned that banyan tree a few years ago, but I didn't know that the sacred tree would turn into a tree demon to harm people. Cheng Le said excitedly, admiring Li Xiuyuan's move.

Zhou Cai nodded again and again, thinking that this move was very good, otherwise he would set fire to the mountain and burn the tree demon to death.

"Hmph, what a load of nonsense."

Suddenly, there was a cold snort, and a young Taoist in a Taoist robe came in from outside with a cold face: "The thousand-year-old tree demon has become a spirit, and his Taoism has been at least a thousand years. Such spirits are already comparable to gods. Calling the wind and calling the rain, flying into the sky and escaping from the ground are not a problem, how can you be a mere scholar who can be burned to death with a fire, and a person full of lies who still wants to ask immortals? The poor way advises you to go back and forth from where, don't think about it I went into the mountains to seek enlightenment."

Seeing this Taoist, Cheng Le and Zhou Cai were startled in a hurry, stood up hastily, bowed and saluted and said, "Wan Sheng met Daoist Ling Fengzi."

Ling Fengzi?

Li Xiuyuan heard that his name had some meaning of a Taoist. Could it be that this person is a Taoist priest on the mountain?

"The Taoist priest's words are wrong. I didn't lie. It was indeed I who set fire to the tree spirit to death. Why did the Taoist priest think I was talking nonsense?" Li Xiuyuan frowned slightly.

"Just you?"

Ling Fengzi looked at Li Xiuyuan with a little sneer and said: "Even a hanged ghost can kill you, and you can deal with the thousand-year-old monster?"

"Haven't the Taoist heard that evil can never prevail against righteousness? I do justice, and I have the help of heaven. That tree demon has harmed countless people, his luck has declined, his fortune has been exhausted, and he will die under my fire." It's not impossible." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Let's not hear that a golden elixir has been swallowed, so my fate is up to me? The thousand-year-old monster is not inferior to the golden elixir, and the heavens can't kill it. Fude and luck are just deceiving you who don't know the truth. Man, you are full of lies, a scholar, and you still keep saying that the dryad died in your hands. Today, the poor Taoist wants you to show your flaws, tell the truth, and let others see how you deceive others " After Ling Fengzi finished speaking, he took out a talisman from the Taoist robe.

Holding it in his hand, he muttered something, and shouted, the talisman flew out and ran towards Li Xiuyuan.

Chapter 491 Ling Fengzi

The technique is a small technique, and the talisman is the mantra.

It can make people speak the truth and tell all the secrets in their hearts.

Ling Fengzi just wanted the scholar in front of him to expose his lies, make him lose face, and know the consequences of deceiving a master of Taoism.

Although the mantra talisman is not an evil technique, it depends on how it is used. How can it be used on mortals without unearthing some unspeakable sins?

After all, no one is perfect.

However, when the Taoist talisman flew towards Li Xiuyuan, it could have landed on a person's body and stuck it immediately, and it would not be able to be removed without casting a spell. However, he lost his strength lightly, fell unsteadily, and finally landed on the ground motionless.

Spell failed?

Ling Fengzi panicked and didn't suspect anything else. He only suspected that he was not good at learning and failed to cast the spell this time. He immediately blushed and felt ashamed. : "Get up~!"

But the paper talisman remained motionless and did not respond to him.

"What is the Daoist doing? Why did you throw that yellow paper at me? Could it be a new spell learned by the Daoist?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Ling Fengzi glared angrily and said, "You villain, what method did you use to pollute my talisman paper and make my spells fail?"

"Master Daoist, those who practice the Tao must remember to be angry. Anger is the fire in the heart, which can burn ghosts and damage the way." Li Xiuyuan said seriously: "Besides, I didn't use any means. Maybe the Taoist priest's talisman was not drawn correctly. Maybe it’s not good enough, but I think it’s because the Daoist’s belief is not sincere enough, so it’s not effective.”

"The ancients once said that sincerity leads to spirit, and the same is true of spells. Therefore, I believe that spells will be powerful only when they are used on the right way. Because the thoughts are right, the belief will be sincere. If it is used on crooked ways, the mind is impure, The spell will naturally fail."

"Could it be that the Taoist priest just wanted to do something bad with the talisman?"

Ling Fengzi was anxious and angry when he heard the words, his face blushed, and he couldn't help but think of his master's instructions, that spells should indeed not be used to harm others or make profits, otherwise they will suffer retribution.

"Fart, poor Taoist is a cultivator. I just saw that you, a scholar, have bad intentions, so I used some tricks to make you tell the truth. How could it be harmful to others." How could he admit his thoughts.

"The technique is not a heretical technique, but it is not necessarily the case for people. If you call this paper talisman he will not agree, but if I call it, there will be a response? The Taoist priest is trustworthy." Li Xiuyuan said.

Ling Fengzi said: "A mere mortal also knows the magic of the immortal family? He is full of wild words, if you can call this talisman, I will kneel down for you."

"You don't need to kneel, I don't like people kneeling very much." Li Xiuyuan said, then glanced at the paper talisman on the ground, and then stretched out his hand to point.

"Let's take a closer look at what it means to be sincere."

Immediately, not only the Daoist, but Cheng Le and Zhou Cai who were beside him also looked at the paper talisman on the ground curiously, and became suspicious in their hearts, wondering if Li Xiuyuan was putting on airs, or did he have real skills?

"Get up~!" However, Li Xiuyuan yelled together, and the immobile paper talisman on the ground jumped up and fell into his hands.

The spell that didn't work in Ling Fengzi's hands actually worked in his hands.

"How is it possible?" Ling Fengzi was shocked.

This is his symbol.

"How? If you don't believe me, can you try this talisman to see if it works?" Li Xiuyuan pointed, and the yellow talisman flew out, intending to stick it on Ling Fengzi's body.

"No, there's no need." Ling Fengzi said hastily, looking a little flustered.

"Oh, is that so? Forget it, since the Taoist priest believes it is enough, after all, you have to forgive others." Li Xiuyuan said.
