The monster suddenly shot out a white egg half the size of its head from its mouth.
Lu Yuan has never seen a monster whose head can completely turn around.
Caught off guard, he was hit in the face by a white egg.
Although the egg is not very big, it is extremely powerful!
Lu Yuan fell to the ground and flew ten feet backward.
Ordinary monks would have died long ago with a headshot.
Lu Yuan got up from the ground, rubbed his face, and found a little scratch on his forehead.
There was a trace of blood.
"Hehe, I was careless and didn't dodge."
When the long-haired demon saw that the attack was successful, it ran away regardless of whether the person was dead or alive.
"Xiao Su!" Lu Yuan ordered.
A white light flashed from the gourd around her waist, and Su Yao appeared instantly. She understood and shot five snow-white arrows from her fingers.
"Ice Arrow!"
The arrows were filled with billowing white gas, locking on the long-haired demon and chasing after him.
Although Su Yao's cultivation level declined after becoming a demon servant, Lu Yuan had the innate magical power of "monster taming expertise".
Therefore, her affinity with her master has greatly improved in a very short period of time.
Correspondingly, her cultivation level returned to level three and four stars.
The arrow was as fast as lightning thanks to her cultivation, and it caught up with the monster in the blink of an eye.
"Crack!"
All five arrows hit the target accurately, and the long-haired demon suddenly turned into an ice sculpture.
"Don't kill it!" Lu Yuan immediately said to Su Yao.
Su Yao immediately stopped her subsequent killing moves and waited obediently for Lu Yuan to come over.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to go over, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the white egg on the ground.
Despite the huge impact, the eggshell was still intact without any cracks.
There was just a little bit of Lu Yuan's blood on it.
He thought the egg was very interesting, so he put it into the ring.
Lu Yuan came over and said to Su Yao: "Escort this monster to the back hall and hand it over to Master Jinghai for disposal!"
At this time, many disciples also rushed over. Seeing Lu Yuan catch the monster, everyone was in admiration.
"Master Lu has great magic power, and he caught the big demon in just a few strokes! I admire him!"
"Master Immortal helped us, thank you so much!"
"Our Qing Temple can be saved!"
Su Yao used magic to float the long-haired demon frozen into ice above her head. The crowd gathered around the master and servant and walked happily to the stone room in the back hall of the Jinghai retreat.
Arriving at the quiet stone room in the apse, Lu Yuan unlocked the seal according to the pre-arranged spell and led everyone inside.
The interior was empty.
There is only a small box in the corner.
Lu Yuan had been here before and knew that it belonged to Master Jinghai.
An elder said: "Every time the abbot goes out, this monster will sneak in. Let's wait here."
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and then said: "The space here is small and there are many people and chaos. I'm afraid my mystical skills will not be able to suppress the monsters very well. Masters, please wait outside and don't get too close here."
Everyone didn't know Lu Yuan's method of subduing demons. Hearing what he said, I was afraid that the monster would burst out of the ice and hurt people.
They immediately ran out, about ten feet away from the stone room, and waited quietly for news from Lu Yuan.
Seeing everyone leaving, Lu Yuan felt relieved.
He had always had an ominous premonition in his heart, but there were so many people at the time that it was not convenient for him to say it out loud.
Lu Yuan took out the police jade that contacted Jinghai and squeezed it hard.
Nothing echoed in my mind.
The police jade is invalid!
He couldn't help but slowly move his gaze to the monster inside the icicle.
Just now he asked everyone to go out, not because of "the crowds and the atmosphere", but because he had hidden worries in his heart.
His intuition from many years of demon subjugation told him that this long-haired demon was transformed by Jinghai!
The reason why he sent everyone away was because he wanted to save face for Jinghai.
He has always had a good impression of Master Ci.
Not only because a compassionate master gave him the "Heart Mantra" which helped a lot, but also because the compassionate master could resurrect his father.
If this big demon is really a pure sea transformation, and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of the third level, he should be able to speak.
But it just keeps growling and hissing.
Not sure if it can communicate with me?
Lu Yuan asked Su Yao to cancel the freezing spell and release the long-haired demon.
As soon as the ice thawed, the big demon collapsed to the ground with a "thud" sound. His whole body was bruised and he could only breathe out, not in.
Seeing that it was dying, Lu Yuan immediately put a rejuvenation charm on its chest.
A green soft light emits from the talisman paper and slowly merges into the monster's body.
The monster gradually slowed down. Skin color slowly returns to normal.
When it saw Lu Yuan, its eyes showed panic and disbelief.
Lu Yuan held a sharp sword and shouted in a low voice: "If you are Master Jinghai, show up quickly. If not, I will kill you immediately!"
The monster seemed to understand what he said, growling low in his throat and nodding his head.
Lu Yuan stood a little further away.
The size of the monster suddenly shrank slowly, and the long black hair on its body also shortened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not long after, the monster showed its true form.
Lying on the ground is Master Jinghai!
Lu Yuan has seen a lot about people turning into monsters.
But it was really the first time he saw it change from a demon back to a human.
"Grandmaster!"
Lu Yuan quickly helped Jinghai up, who was naked, and took out a blanket from his ring to wrap him up.
"Master, how do you..."
Jinghai looked at him with wide eyes, his lips kept moving slightly, as if he had not regained consciousness for a while.
After a while, he finally woke up completely.
Jinghai grabbed Lu Yuan's sleeves in confusion, looking left and right: "Donor...me, what's wrong with me?"
"Stop talking about it now, quickly find some clothes and put them on. Where are your clothes?"
Jinghai stood up tremblingly, patting his bare forehead and thinking hard.
After a while, he slowly walked to the box in the corner and opened it.
Inside are his clothes and Qiankun Bag.
"Why are my clothes in this box? What's wrong with me?"
He muttered to himself as he quickly got dressed.
Lu Yuan said: "Master, I still want to ask you a question!"
Jinghai sat on the futon, closed her eyes and meditated.
After a while, he slowly said: "The poor teacher seems to have had a dream. He dreamed that he turned into a monster and killed animals everywhere... Oh! Ami Ciguang, it's a sin!"
Lu Yuan came over and sat next to him: "That was not a dream, it was real."
"Is it true?"
"Yes. I controlled you and brought you here. How did you become a monster?"
"Alas..." Jinghai sighed again.
Lu Yuan said in a deep voice: "Master, is there something unspeakable?"
Jinghai remained silent.
He pretended to be very calm on the surface, but Lu Yuan had seen through the turmoil in his heart.
"You helped me a lot. There are no outsiders here, but it doesn't matter."
Jinghai's face turned red and white, and he struggled internally for a long time.
Finally, he closed his eyes and said slowly: "This matter... starts from ten years ago."
"Appreciate further details."
Jinghai moved his cheeks, obviously gritting his teeth and trying desperately to adjust his emotions.
"Donor, you should know that our compassionate master is a person who wholeheartedly serves the light and should not have any inappropriate thoughts about women."
Lu Yuan nodded.
Jinghai continued: "However, ten years ago, a female benefactor came to our palace. She was in her twenties, elegant and refined, with beautiful talent and beauty. The poor teacher has been practicing for decades and has never had an ordinary mind, but... …”
He was slightly excited: "As soon as I saw her, I knew that my decades of cultivation were ruined. I missed her like a devil, and missed everything about her! However, the rules and precepts of the Merciful Master absolutely prohibit this. .”
Lu Yuan asked: "What happened next?"
"Later, I missed her day after day, year after year, and my obsession became stronger and stronger, and finally I became obsessed with her. Three years ago, I heard from my disciples that there were monsters that invaded female nuns and female donors. I I immediately ordered everyone to investigate and subdue the demon, but to no avail."
As Jinghai said, he started to get a little excited: "I never knew that the demon was transformed by me! It wasn't until you told me today that I realized that every time I dreamed about killing, it was when I transformed into a demon."
Lu Yuan suddenly realized: "No wonder you said that every time you are not in the palace, the monster will attack. It turns out that you yourself didn't realize that you have turned into a monster!"
Jinghai nodded: "Yes... Fortunately, none of these women were defiled by the poor teacher, otherwise the poor teacher would be responsible for his death!"
Lu Yuan stood up and said, "Human beings have seven emotions and six desires, and it is indeed difficult to cut them off. Master's conscience is still intact, and it is indeed incredible that a demon can turn back into a human after being transformed."
"If you can't change, please ask the donor to kill the poor master with his own hands."
"Don't worry, Master. If that's the case, I will definitely spare you any pain."
When Jinghai heard this, he smiled faintly and bowed his head slightly in thanks.
"After living for half a life, the poor master also understands. The so-called demon is just a person who asks for nothing, and the fruit of unfulfilled cultivation. Although he has not defiled the woman, the poor master of the Qing Temple cannot stay any longer. I will pass on the mantle to Great Elder.”
Lu Yuan thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's up to the master to decide at this time. Then I will go out and let everyone go back later. I only said that the master contacted me through magic and said he would not return until tomorrow."
Jinghai struggled to get up and saluted: "Master Immortal is so protective, I am very grateful to Master. Tomorrow Master Master will announce the inheritance."
Lu Yuan also returned the greeting: "That's very good. Then where do you plan to go, Master?"
"The Dharma of kindness is profound. The poor teacher wants to go to our capital Changning to study. He will look for famous teachers and devote himself to the Tao."
"This is very good. I have also been favored by Master Ci many times. In this way, there will be another Gao Ci in the world!"
"Haha, the immortal master is joking. The poor master doesn't ask for anything else. He only hopes to understand the great road in his lifetime and help more people who are destined to be saved."
Lu Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Then I wish you success, master! Then I will come often to ask for advice."
Jinghai smiled and said: "Master Immortal is humble. It's getting late today, let's all go to bed early."
Lu Yuan bent down and saluted, saying goodbye to Jinghai.
During the conversation just now, his consciousness kept scanning outside to make sure no one was eavesdropping.
After coming out of the stone room, Lu Yuan followed what he said just now and told everyone to go back first, and the master would not return until tomorrow.
As for the big demon - he has taken the demon pill, and the remaining demon corpse has been burned with a fire.
Everyone believes it.
After chatting for a while, everyone dragged their tired pace back to the room to rest.
The next day, Lu Yuan deliberately did not get up early and go to the stone room.
He had a casual breakfast.
Just before noon, he received a notice that everyone should go to the hall to discuss matters.
At the meeting, Jinghai first thanked Lu Yuan for eliminating harm to the palace.
Then, as expected, the inheritance was announced.
The new abbot of the Qing Temple is Master Minghui, the former chief elder!
Everyone felt that this was very sudden. Jinghai used his brilliant lotus tongue to explain the matter clearly and logically.
Only then did everyone become convinced.
Later, Jinghai announced that a grand thanksgiving banquet would be held in the evening to thank Lu Yuan for slaying the demon.
It was decided that the inheritance ceremony would be held three days later, and Lu Yuan was invited to attend.
After Lu Yuan got the Nine Heavens Mysterious Stone, he couldn't wait to go to the Demon Realm immediately, so he couldn't think of attending these banquets.
Faced with invitations, he declined them one by one.
