You are a demon

(ps: This chapter talks about Elder Cangyun’s past life, and has nothing to do with Gongshou, so you can skip to the next chapter directly).

Hundreds of years ago, the human world experienced a great catastrophe. The evil fire fell from the sky, the grass withered, the ground split thousands of miles, and everything dried up. The whole world was shrouded in darkness. Disturbing the world, there is no peace for a while.

"Master, there is a catastrophe in the world. As the world's number one cultivator, our Kongtong Sect has always taken it as our mission to eliminate evil and innocence, and vowed to protect the common people in the world. Why didn't we help out this time!"

The master ignored the disciple kneeling on the ground, flicked his fly whisk, pinched his fingers and plotted, then sighed, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Master, Master!" Cang Yun grabbed Master's Taoist robe anxiously, trying in vain to keep Master, but was thrown to the ground by the fly whisk he threw.

Master thought he would give up, but unexpectedly he stood up again: "Master, there have been many people who have died at the foot of Kongtong Mountain and asked for help. In this crisis, we are the straw in their eyes. But the master who has always taught us to take the responsibility of the common people in the world has set up an enchantment and will not save him if he dies. Could this be our own responsibility in the eyes of the master, and this is the morality in the eyes of the master!"

After hearing this, the master was furious, and he slapped the whisk again, but it was ten times stronger than before. Cang Yun turned over and fell to the ground, spitting blood, but still begged intermittently in his mouth: "Please, please, Master!" Go down the mountain...to save the people and restore the righteous way!"

After Cang Yun said these words, the closed Xuanmu gate was suddenly pushed open, and a group of disciples were kneeling outside the gate, neatly dressed in blue Taoist robes, with magic weapons attached to their waists, shouting in unison,

"I beg the master to come down the mountain, save the people, and restore the righteous way!"

The master sneered at Cang Yun who was lying on the ground: "The chaos in the world has never been caused by the insignificance of righteousness."

Cang Yun didn't understand the meaning of Master's words, so he asked confusedly, "Why is that?"

The master looked up at the dark cloud-covered and unpredictable sky outside the barrier of Kongtong Mountain, and sighed: "The way of heaven cannot be followed, and the righteous way cannot be followed by heaven..."

That night, the master brought a kind of disciple down the mountain to rescue the people, but Cang Yun was left at the top of the cave to receive the victims.

Seven days later, Master sent a message saying that they were still safe, but there were so many people that it was impossible to save them one by one.

Half a month later, the master and Kongtong disciples did not eat or drink, and worked tirelessly to save people, and their physical strength was slightly exhausted.

"Brother Daochang, can your master really save my parents?"

Cang Yun stroked the little girl's messy bun, smiled slightly, and comforted: "Yes, I will."

Although he tried his best to control his tone, his slightly trembling lips still revealed the worry in his heart.

Master, I haven't summoned him for half a month this time, and I don't know what happened to the juniors.

"Ah, Master!"

Thinking this way, I didn't expect that the master's teleportation message just happened to come.

"Cang, Cang Yun, you and the remaining disciples of Kongtong, you must, must fight to the death to defend the top of Kongtong!"

Master was weak while speaking, and even coughed twice, Cang Yun instantly rang the alarm.

He asked eagerly, "Master, Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Cang Yun, go to the cabinet on the top floor of the Misty Palace right away, there is something I want to give you..." After saying this, the summons was cut off, and no matter how Cang Yun called, he would never hear her again. To Master's voice.

Just at this moment, a young disciple in a Taoist robe hurried over and bumped into Cang Yun. Regardless of his embarrassing figure, he said in a loud voice: "Senior brother, senior brother, the spell that locks the demon-locking tower suddenly loosened. There are one or two little demons who want to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but they are temporarily suppressed, but there are many demons in the demon lock tower, and the master is not here, so we can't last long..."

Cang Yun was staggered by him, his feet were not steady, and he almost fell down. He stared blankly at the upper and lower lips of his junior brother, but he couldn't hear a word.

The talisman of the Demon Locking Tower uses the life of the master as the spirit medium, thereby suppressing the demons for many years, but now, the talisman is loose, and the master...

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother!"

Cang Yun only felt a white mist floating in front of his eyes, and he couldn't even distinguish the appearance of his junior in front of him, so he stumbled and went straight to the Misty Hall.

It was the place where Shizun usually meditated. Apart from Shizun, he had only entered it once, but only that time, he had a clear understanding of the topography inside.

Outside the main hall, the demonic aura was flying everywhere, and the thick fog was thick, but it was still the same inside the enchantment.

Cang Yun's feet felt a little dizzy, and it took him a while to reach the Misty Hall. He supported the wall with one hand and walked towards the cabinet. In a panic, he didn't know what mechanism he touched. His whole body suddenly lost weight, and he fell straight down unexpectedly , He was panicked at this moment, so he still remembered the skill of controlling the sword, how long it took him to reach the bottom.

The pain in his chest made him groan, and when he got up again, he felt soft under his feet, and he didn't know what to step on. He fumbled around to find a candle, but he couldn't find anything after searching for a long time.

Cang Yun snapped his fingers, a pinch of faint blue fire suddenly appeared in his hand, and lit the fire fold. He used the fire fold to emit a dim light, and looked at this place.

The layout is simple and elegant, and there is only room for a table, a chair, and a bed in the eye-catching place.

There is a scroll hanging on the wall, and only a vigorous and powerful "Tao" character can be seen on the paper. He should have fallen on the bed not far away just now. Is this the place where the master usually rests?But why is it so hidden?

Not caring about other things, Cang Yun anxiously searched for a way to go up, but this underground room is really too weird, the passageway for falling down is narrow, and only one person can climb through it, except for this room below, there is no other room to be found. In the second room, all the places that can be turned and knocked have been searched, and there is no other exit at all.

There is no other way but to study the scrolls on the wall and meditate:

"The Taishangxing star is constantly responding, exorcising evil spirits... the three souls are eternal and unshakable."

The scroll hangs safely on the wall without any response, wrong, not this.

Put your palms together again and sing your fingers: "The natural filth of heaven and earth is scattered in the cave, and the Xuanxu shakes the Taiyuan... Ganluo Dana Donggang Taixuan cuts demons, binds evil, and saves thousands of people."

wrong again,

No, not this, not this, what the hell!

Cang Yun's heart was in a mess, and he hurriedly chanted a bunch of spells, but the scroll didn't respond at all.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out from Cang Yun's mouth and nose, Cang Yun was furious, and at this moment he felt a little dazed.

"I got it, I got it, it must be this... all those who are fighting in front of the army, all marching forward."

After a while, the scroll really reacted, the word "Tao" disappeared, replaced by a series of sword techniques, and then the appearance of two villains confronting each other with swords.

"These are the last few moves of Kongtong swordsmanship!"

Cang Yun was overjoyed for a while, the master said that only the descendants of the Kongtong Sect could learn the last few moves, and as a big disciple, he was deeply loved by the master. Could it be that the master actually wanted him to learn this and then go out to save the common people ?

He didn't have time to think about it, he sat cross-legged on the ground, meditated on his mind, and then learned one move after another. Although he had certain attainments in Taoism, he was still young and his qualifications were still inexperienced, so he could only learn false moves. But the heart and the law cannot be united, reaching the point where the Tao follows the nature.

The people of the world are in dire straits, but he doesn't know how to do it at all, so he can only concentrate on his cultivation, and he doesn't know how long it took before he understood the last pose.

Excitedly, Cang Yun raised his breath and climbed the rock, and sure enough, he easily fell on the vertical wall. With all his strength, he climbed straight to the top, opened the bluestone floor tiles with his palms, and the cabinet that came into view was the one he came to.

Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, he will definitely be able to defend the top of Kongtong...

It's just that things in this world are always unsatisfactory in all likelihood, or they are predestined.

As soon as Cang Yun came out of the Misty Palace, he felt an unusual aura. The barrier above Kongtong had been broken, and what caught his eye was scarlet, and there was a disgusting smell of death everywhere.

He stood still on the spot, his mind was aching, and there was a bad breath in his chest, but he couldn't vent it, so he immediately rushed to the demon lock tower with Yujian.

But everything is too late.

During the few hours he was in the Misty Palace, five full days had passed in the outside world, and within five days, the Demon Locking Tower was broken, and all the demons danced wildly for a while, all the tall buildings and ancient towers were turned into ruins, and all the brothers and sisters died tragically under the tower. The people who were rescued for a while now have only their limbs and half-skeletal remains, lying silently in a pool of blood.

The dark sky supported thousands of clouds and thunder, and several lightning bolts struck the tallest century-old tree on the top of Kongtong,

But Cang Yun's eyes had long lost sight of anything, he staggered to the side of a corpse with crooked buns but couldn't make out his face, his feet went limp, and he knelt straight down.

Master has long known that everything cannot be undone.

"But, but why, the master wants to leave me alone? The way of heaven is irresistible, so what is the right way, what is the way of heaven!"

The master has long considered that the way of heaven is unacceptable, that's why he didn't let the juniors go down the mountain, because he knew that the way of heaven was unacceptable, so he wanted to protect the blood of Kongtongding, but he was as stupid as he, but he didn't understand anything, and he just wanted to straighten the way , what a sarcasm.

Entering the magic and escaping the way is just a thought.

He, Cang Yun, was burdened with blood debts, ashamed of his teacher and the world, afraid that he would not be able to enter reincarnation forever, even if he was a slave or an animal in this life, he would not be able to wash away his karma.

……

"Elder Cangyun?"

Cang Yun withdrew his wandering thoughts, and looked intently at the eldest disciple in front of him, but his eyes couldn't see any color, but even this couldn't hide half of the appearance of the person in front of him.

The three thousand black hair was neatly tied up with a jade crown, and the faint shallow eyes exuded an icy coldness that repelled people thousands of miles away, the eyebrows seemed to be frowning, and the vermilion lips were tightly pursed, exuding a cold and arrogant temperament from the inside out.

"Ziju, you didn't and Wu Nian led the disciples to cultivate hard in Zhong Yushan, how could you appear here?"

Facing Elder Cang Yun's questioning, Xie Ziju clasped his hands together, his amber eyes were still as indifferent as ever, and he slowly replied: "Reporting to Elder, there seems to be some changes in the Demon Locking Tower recently, and there may be changes."

Cang Yun was shocked when he heard the words, and the hand holding Fuchen couldn't stop trembling slightly, "What are you talking about, the demon lock tower!"

The elder's gaffe reaction certainly did not hide from Xie Ziju's eyes, but he didn't ask anything, and nodded slightly: "Yes".

"Follow me to see!"

"Yes".

Seeing the slightly vain steps under the elder's feet, Xie Ziju frowned slightly, but without saying a word, he silently followed the elder to the demon lock tower.

The top of the tower was covered with layers of black clouds, and the whole body was also filled with a faint white mist, faintly exuding an unusual aura.

Watching the stars last night, a white light appeared occasionally in the southeast. The world was not fair, and the little monster was causing trouble, so he didn't think about it, but today's change in the demon-locking tower reminded him that the place where the white light appeared was not the position of Sirius?

The hot summer is restless, Sirius is looming, the most ominous...

"Ziju, set up the formation!"

Xie Ziju ordered, meditated on his thoughts, flew to find five points around the Demon Locking Tower, inserted a black triangular road flag, and then exchanged glances with the elder, standing on the top of the tower with one foot, his Taoist robe fluttering with the wind, his indifferent face There was a trace of panic.

The two shuttled between the Taoist flags, and they didn't know what to say in their mouths. Everywhere they went, an invisible thin thread seemed to be pulled out from under their feet, and entwined back and forth.

In the end, Elder Cang Yun flicked his fly whisk, closed his eyes and meditated in the air, and opened his eyes again, a brilliant light appeared around the tower, causing the talismans on the tower wall to dance wildly.

"receive!"

Following his order, the dark clouds slowly dispersed, the white mist disappeared, and the talisman was tightly attached to the tower wall.

Cang Yun stood in front of the pagoda: "The demon-locking pagoda has changed, and the world may not be peaceful."

Xie Zijufan observed the details carefully, and the visions in the past few days also made him understand a little bit. He clasped his fists and said slightly: "I would like to go down the mountain to find out."

Unexpectedly, Cang Yun shook his head and said: "Ziju, you are super enlightened, diligent and eager to learn, and you are a good seedling to cultivate immortality and enlightenment. I have always been optimistic about you, but..."

Elder Cangyun thought for a while, and then received: "It's just that you are too upright and decisive, and you care too much about right and wrong, and your heart is not lost, so you may not be able to achieve great success in Taoism."

Hearing this, Xie Ziju's body trembled invisibly, and then he faintly moved: "Disciple doesn't understand."

Cang Yun sighed and said, "Forget it, this trip in the world, I hope it can solve your confusion... It has been five years since Xianghu left Kongtongding. There were many children back then, and the two of you have the deepest relationship. It would be great to have the opportunity to meet again.”

Xianghu is the only disciple of Kongtongding who does not have a Taoist name, and he is also an ever-burning lamp of Xie Ziju in those dark days in the past.

It was only later that the ever-burning lamp was too bright, and the sun and the moon were not enough, so it finally disappeared into the boundless mortal world and disappeared.

Xie Ziju stared fixedly at the elder for a few seconds, then touched the ground with his robe and kowtowed three times as a temporary farewell.

Then Yujian went out of the Kongtong Peak directly, taking nothing with him except his Taoist robe and a few talismans.

Cang Yun shook his head,

"It doesn't matter, the stars move and follow their tracks, and those who are supposed to come can't escape, so it's better to push the boat with the trend, hey, destiny, destiny...".
