Taoist chanting

Zhang Wenfeng communicated with Chen Qingqiao and Zhu He, and the three left immediately, extinguishing the black fire that was still burning on the house separately, looking for the disabled in the town to treat them, and the Taoist priest had arrived, so there was no need to worry about Wuxiu's thieves appearing again to make trouble.

Yun Qiuhe flew out of the town one step ahead of time to appease the fleeing people and persuade them to come back.

It's cold outside, and there is a lack of clothing and food. If you stay for a long time, the suffering people will become disabled again.

Shi Huai'an sighed, and said: "Wu Xiu's thieves made a mess, and death and injury are inevitable. You have avenged them on the spot, which is a consolation." Staring at the wounds on the necks of the two corpses, he asked, "Did you get the remnant soul?"

He did not immediately search for the items on the body.

In the world of practice, it is taboo to use means to extract living souls without authorization, and it is regarded as a crooked way. However, in the face of unscrupulous massacres and thieves who regard ordinary people as pigs and dogs, Dao Luyuan has issued a decree: When necessary, you can Extract the living soul.

If it is stated clearly, many Taoist cultivators still cannot pass the hurdle in their hearts.

Furthermore, the witchcraft is good at using witchcraft, and has a lot of research on the soul. It is extremely difficult to successfully extract the living soul by using secret methods or other magic tools. Produce too many valuable things.

Fu Gujing nodded and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life, and got a complete living soul and a remnant soul."

"Okay, okay! Fellow Daoist Fu is considerate, mature and prudent, and his credit goes beyond killing two second-level witch cultivators!" Shi Huai'an was shocked, grabbed the two entangled corpses, and said: "Go to the house over there, hurry up first Torture the situation."

"Daoist Shi is over-rewarded. That's exactly what he meant."

The two hit it off immediately, and took a few steps into the remaining room in the northwest corner of the ruined courtyard.

If it is possible to interrogate the location of the witch cultivator's lair, its general power, etc., Daoist Shi will quickly notify the Daolu branch in Zhoucheng by means of a yellow talisman, and organize master Taoist monks to attack the witch cultivator's lair.

Torturing living souls on the spot is also a race for time, preventing the thieves from realizing the failure of the operation and fleeing.

Zhang Wenfeng rescued several wounded from under the collapsed house, used Yuan Qi to cut off the pulse to stop the bleeding, and placed the injured in other intact houses nearby. The thieves are executed, the town is safe and so on.

Not long after, the six men from the Daolu branch guarding the Qingshui temple all came down the mountain.

Send one person to the nearby Taoist temples and towns as quickly as possible, summon Taoist priests, doctors, Youxi, Xiangyong, and strong men with their waist cards, and rush to Xihezhou Town to rescue the dying, heal the wounded, maintain law and order, etc. After the chaos, there will inevitably be some Xiaoxiao who take advantage of the fire and fish in troubled waters generation.

The heavy snow still did not stop, the cold wind howled, and the branches made the sound of ice cracking.

There were faint cries coming from many houses, and the town was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.

Zhang Wenfeng recited scriptures silently to calm his mood swings.

Things in the world are always honed and practiced.

In the evening, he set up in the ruins of the town hall, chanting scriptures to rescue all the dead, and to dissolve the resentment and hostility of the souls of the dead, which is inconvenient to do things during the day.

He suddenly felt a creepy heart palpitation, which made the hairs on his back stand on end.

This is a monk's instinctive perception of danger, and the strength varies from person to person. He turned around suddenly, and heard a loud "bang", and the only two remaining houses in the ruins exploded.

Seeing Daoist Shi protecting Fu Gujing, he flew tens of feet away from the dust and broken bricks.

A ray of cold light waved from Daoist Shi's hand, like a flash in the air, crushing a fleeing phantom in the air, with only a flash of figure, Daoist Shi put down Fu Gujing, and flew into the dusty place in ruins.

The people in the town who had just settled down suddenly fled to the snow like frightened birds screaming.

Zhang Wenfeng and the returning Yun Qiuhe and others hurriedly shouted to appease the hearts of the people.

They saw that there was an accident just now, and Shi Daochang quickly suppressed the accident, so it was not worth worrying about.

Chapter 174 Cultivation in the mortal world

After sending seven or eight messages in succession, Shi Huai'an clasped his fists and hurriedly flew west, taking away the biggest harvest of the trip, the two extracted second-level witch cultivator living souls, and two important witch weapons.

At this time, the surviving Xiangqi, Lizheng and others in the town, as well as a few people from the Daolu Branch,?Organize the young and strong to resettle the homeless people, treat the wounded in a unified way, collect the dead in a centralized manner, arrange warm clothing and food expenses, etc.

The town has suffered a catastrophe, so it is important to take care of the living first, and it doesn't matter if the dead stay there for a few more days.

Bad weather, ?You Xi and others from the nearby town and the county government servants rushed over,?It takes a lot of time.

Fu Gujing put down her hands clasping fists and saluting,?This is the time to care about wiping the blood off your face, right?The pale junior sister asked, "How is your injury? Don't hold on, why don't you go back to the mountain gate to recuperate for a while? Don't damage your foundation."

Yun Qiuhe rolled his eyes, and said: "Don't send a message to my master, and make her old man worry, I used the elixir, and the breathing will be fine for two days, a little injury, there is no need to make a fuss, I am not like that Delicate."

She was wrapped with an old cloak given to her by someone, covering the bloody wound on her back.

Fu Gujing had nothing to do with her, thinking about these two days, and invited a doctor and monk who was good at healing from the county town, take a look, rest assured, glance at the direction of Xiheshan in the snow,?Asked: "You left the town earlier? Did you pay attention to the situation on the mountain over there?"

Yun Qiuhe snorted with his nose,? "Brother, don't worry, the two of them are doing well and have not been harmed. There was a mist rising from the mountain, maybe they were so focused on their cultivation that they didn't hear anything from us."

"Being in the secular world and ignoring the world's affairs, not wiping the dust, sharpening the state of mind, no matter how hard it is, it will be in vain."

Fu Gujing shook his head.

The distance is not far, how can you not hear the sound of the two fireworks in the town?

He was very disappointed with those two people, one of them was Xuanyun Guan's fellow sect, who had been stuck in the energy transformation state for many years, unable to break through the state for a long time, and was sent by the sect to Xiheshan to guard the enchanting flower slope.

He didn't want to mention the two of them again, seeing Guanzhu Zhang bending over to pick up things in the snow from time to time, he joked: "Brother Zhang, what treasure are you picking up? Remember the rules of the world, whoever sees it has a share."

Zhang Wenfeng tossed the thorn-hook wire vine seeds in the palm of his hand: "The spell-casting method I arranged earlier must be taken back. If you use one of these seeds and one is missing, Brother Fu will not have your share."

Fu Gujing remembered all the details of Brother Zhang's previous provocation of the second-rank Wuxiu. At that time, the situation was urgent. He didn't think carefully, and said angrily: "I was reckless. I only wanted to lure the Wuxiu thief here. It was a waste of time." You make arrangements."

"Brother Fu is also thinking of me, and I am grateful for the kindness. Besides, the result is the same, but it took a lot of trouble. Brother Fu doesn't have to be like this."

Zhang Wenfeng smiled and said polite words.

Chen Qingqiao and Zhu He came back from work, and were digging hard on the icy ground where the witch beast had penetrated with tools.

Daoist Shi said before leaving that the frozen black water was some kind of sinister water witchcraft prepared in advance, mixed with the use of quicksand witchcraft. As the witchcraft failed, the swallowed witchcraft The corpse of the beast still exists underground.

Chen Qingqiao's head no longer hurts, and he is full of energy. If he wants to dig out the corpse of the witch beast, he can exchange for a lot of rewards.

Yun Qiuhe suddenly asked: "Brother, this time the harvest is not small, right?"

She made a pun, asking about the gains from the interrogation of living souls, and asking about the booty from those Wu Xius. She didn't care too much, she was asking for some compensation for Chen Qingqiao and the others.

Look at Chen Guanzhu's unlucky situation, and also lost a magic artifact, how can he bear it?

Fu Gujing smiled and said: "It's okay, the brothers have put in a lot of effort. When I go back, I will ask the master for instructions. The spoils of war should be converted into spirit stones and distributed as much as possible to make up for the loss. The rest of the rewards will wait for the county to accept it. It will take some time to receive it."

He didn't say a word about the interrogation of the living soul, and the sudden accident before.

The living soul imprisoned in the magic weapon can't even commit suicide. With some insidious means, it can easily torture the living soul to the point that life is worse than death.

The results of the interrogation were beyond imagination, and finally figured out that Wu Xiu's thief tried his best to expose him, not even taking his life, in order to seize

Take the official treasure and Kanyu map, saying that if you gather three official treasures, you can open a hidden ruin.

The purpose of ambushing and attacking them was to collect the blood and soul of the monks, use the corpses to sneak into Xiling County, avoid the detection and suppression of the formation, attack and kill them in one fell swoop, and then seize the official treasure that they are determined to win.

The two people who attacked Qingshui Temple and Chen Qingqiao were secretly dispatched by Xie Zhiquan, but they were captured by Wu Xiu on the way, controlled by witchcraft, and did that evil thing in order to lure them out of the city. People and boatmen have long been destroyed.

No matter how much background Xie Zhiquan has in Nine Crane Palace, its ending has already been decided, and there is no escape from the word "death". , and an explanation must be given to the Zhoucheng Daolu Branch.

Fortunately, the junior sister was able to withstand the ambush attack of two second-level witch cultivators and bought time for them.

Fortunately, Brother Zhang was able to deal with the witch beast with one move and won the initiative.

The biggest achievement is that by interrogating the living souls of two second-tier witch cultivators, they dug up two hidden lairs of witch cultivators in the remote forest in Da'an. Great gain.

It's a pity that while inspecting a blood-colored jade carving witchcraft, I accidentally triggered a trace of a deeply hidden mark inside it, destroying the evil weapon that collected the monk's soul and blood essence, and almost let the soul witch guarding it escape.

It is very possible that the witch repair master who has alarmed one of the lairs?

The junior sister is careless and doesn't know the seriousness, but Fu Gujing will not reveal a word, it has nothing to do with trust or not, it is the rule.

Yun Qiuhe heard what her senior brother said, so she didn't inquire. She flew into the air and inspected the town.

Zhang Wenfeng collected all the thorny barbed wire vine seeds scattered in the snow, found a shovel, and dug together with Chen Qingqiao and the others. The earth witch dug it out, and took out the two corpses below.

At noon, the Taoist priests from the nearby Taoist temple, Youxi and Xiangyong from the two nearby towns, and the county lieutenant from the county seat rushed over with a large number of people in the snow to take over the follow-up matters in the town.

Fu Gujing, Yun Qiuhe led a few people to drive Wu Xiu's body, spoils of war, and the remains of his martyred brothers back to the county in a carriage.

Zhang Wenfeng followed Chen Qingqiao to Qingshui Temple to rest, leaving three Taoist soldiers to assist in the town.

The two were in front, and the donkey was behind, walking on the way up the mountain.

"Guanzhu Zhang, if you are free, can you help me see the topography of Qingshuiguan, and give me some suggestions for formation?"

"...To tell you the truth, I was able to set up the big formation at the Mountain Gate of the Immortal Temple, thanks to the ready-made layout plan. If you don't mind, I can help you set up a few separate small formations on the top of the mountain. If there are thieves who dare to attack, they can use formations to fight back, or temporarily evade for a while, and then you can arrange a large formation by yourself in the future."

"Zhang Guanzhu's high righteousness, Qingqiao's inscription is five, and no one dares to forget it. Daozu is merciful!"

"Blessed Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate!"

"..."

In the evening, after evening class in Qingshui Temple, Zhang Wenfeng and Chen Qingqiao, who insisted on going to contribute, braved the snow and came to Xihezhou Town, which had regained its calm.

On the open space in the ruins of the Red Yard, the county captain had already arranged to build a shed that could cover the snow but not the wind as required.

The two Taoist priests burned incense and chanted scriptures solemnly, and burned paper to perform rituals for the souls of the dead.

Outside the shed, in the snow, there are boys and girls kneeling in mourning, one batch at a time, and each batch is only allowed to worship for one stick of incense. The most tragic song of life and death in the world.

The cold wind rolled up the fragrant mist, and it disappeared without a trace.

When the clapper sounded, Zhang Wenfeng got up and went for a walk in the snow, holding the incense alone and reciting scriptures in a mixed tone, watching the remaining souls who were washed away from their grievances, followed by the spirit incense into the realm of the underworld, and then stood up and fell to their knees Thanksgiving people in the snow.

After the ceremony was completed, he and Chen Qingqiao flew back.

Being in the mortal world, what one cultivates is to have a clean state of mind.

chapter 175

Send the donkey back with the letter first, so as not to worry about the brothers, Zhang Wenfeng stayed in Qingshui Temple for three more days.

He helped Chen Qingqiao to repeatedly deduce and calculate before and after the Taoist temple, and arranged several wooden gossip formations with a range of nine feet. This is the limit he can arrange at present, and a larger formation?The difficulty doubled, and there was nothing he could do.

Qingshui Temple has a lot of wealth, and used more than 150 spiritual energy stones for the formation.

Apart from being called poor, Chen Qingqiao can still afford it.

When we returned, the snow was melting and the sky was clear, ?The blue sky is as clean as washing.

Zhang Wenfeng carried a bag of Chen Qingqiao to thank him for the transcripts of classic books,?Such a sincere gift, ?There is no reason to refuse, so he smiled and said goodbye.

Back in front of the mountain gate, he smiled back at the neatly dressed apprentices on duty under the archway.

I didn't come back for a few days, so I built a flat two-foot-wide gravel road leading to the foot of the mountain, and another gravel path leading to Qingzheng Bieyuan and Wei Xingde's new courtyard in the east forest. It looks neat and comfortable.

Zhang Wenfeng couldn't afford to set foot on the muddy road. He guessed that the second senior brother listened to Master Wu who came here last night and said something polite like "Xianling Temple already has the atmosphere of an independent sect", and the second senior brother, who is like a housekeeper, cared Now, with many long meals, energetic apprentices big and small are paving the way with stones, and they want to move up and down the mountain gate to create some new atmosphere.

The donkey came up from the stream, grinning and baring its teeth.

"Monastery, what good things are you carrying? Did you bring wine?"

Zhang Wenfeng took out a jug of wine from one of the bags and stuffed it into the empty basket on the donkey's shoulder.

This guy's dream of being a hero hasn't come true yet, and he hasn't drank less wine, right?He took out another bag of fruit bought by the town and stuffed it into another basket. The little badger rarely slept in it, and said, "Qingzheng Bieyuan sounds so lively, don't you want to play?"

"Lu Huan has been sleeping in the cave for two days."

The donkey got a jug of wine, ran back clattering, and answered in a wrong way.

I don't know how it will take out the jar and drink the sealed wine?

Zhang Wenfeng immediately understood that the mountain badger was about to advance, and the donkey had to guard it to be at ease. In less than three months, the mountain badger was about to advance to the middle stage of the first level, because he asked him to eat a few streamer crystal sands for the sake?

The little demon's body hasn't fully grown yet, so how fast can he level up?

Thinking about it, Zhang Wenfeng walked into Qingzheng Bieyuan with two bags, and when he saw the woman who was the most lively hawk in the field, she nodded with a smile as a greeting.

Yue Anyan walked a few steps from the corridor, greeted the host, and reached out to take the two snacks wrapped in oil paper that the host handed her.

The more you eat, the more you get used to it.

Every time the temple master goes out, most of them will bring her special snacks from each shop.

Zhang Wenfeng handed over another cloth bag book, and said with a smile, "You can read the souvenirs presented by Chen Guanzhu for a while."

Yue Anyan took the bag, and opened it to see that it was full of books, which were books about formations, medicine refining, spiritual planting, etc. He had never seen before, and he smiled from ear to ear, and said: "Chen Guanzhu is too polite. , this gift is well thought out."

Yun Qiuhe flew from the middle of the field to the corridor in one step, and randomly appointed the tallest Wei Jingjie to be the eagle instead of her, and she bluntly called: "Where's mine?"

He stretched out his hand, begging for a gift face to face.

Zhang Wenfeng took out a pack of fresh oranges bought from a shop in the town from the cloth bag, and handed it to the teacher Ke Qing who was in charge of leading the apprentices to play, and asked casually, "Are you healed from your injury? Why don't you rest for a while?"

Yun Qiuhe glanced at Yue Anyan's closed book bag and the preserved fruit oil paper bag in her hand. She broke open an orange, bit half of it, and said vaguely, "Good morning, I have a little injury, it doesn't matter."

She was sour in her heart, and looked at her junior brother, every time she came back from the house, she would bring snacks for her senior sister.

I heard Yue Anyan mentioned it once in a while, but this time she caught her right.
