"he he he he he……"
Not long after the two people from Liefeng Hall left, a demon possessed by a rotting corpse, wearing a cloak and riding a demon wolf, arrived at the gate of Xu Taiping's courtyard.
"I want to invite those losers to catch me. Do you think they dare?"
The ghost shouted with a sarcastic tone to Xu Taiping who was standing on the roof.
"As long as I close the door, what can you do to me?"
Xu Taiping replied to Li Gui, then loosened his fingers, and an arrow wrapped in Canxia's true energy shot out of the air with a whoosh.
"boom!"
But what Xu Taiping didn't expect was that the demon in black robe suddenly pulled out a long sword from his robe and accurately chopped off the arrow he shot.
"If it hadn't been for your sneak attack yesterday, how could you, a child with a yellow mouth who doesn't even have the Open Door Realm, hurt me!"
The demon sneered and pointed his sword pointed at Xu Taiping who was standing on the roof.
Xu Taiping's face became serious when he saw this.
Just from the sword strike just now, he could tell that the opponent's strength was indeed much greater than his own. The ability to force him to leave Liu Qingmei's body yesterday was all due to an unexpected sneak attack.
"There is only one chance for a sneak attack. This demon will definitely be extremely careful next time. It will be very difficult to force him out of his body and kill him with wine."
Xu Taiping thought in his heart as he nocked an arrow and drew his bow again.
"Little guy, don't think that I can't do anything if you hide in the yard and don't come out. In ten days at most, I will be able to dig out the culvert leading to the medicine garden in your backyard. As long as it is blocked, you, this medicine There will be no water to water the garden, and all the elixirs in the garden will turn into withered grass!"
At this time, the ghost smiled slyly and threatened Xu Taiping.
Hearing this, Xu Taiping couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.
The water source for the medicine garden in his backyard is indeed an underground ditch buried deep in the ground. On weekdays, a steady stream of water flows through the ditch in the medicine garden, making watering very convenient.
If the ghost can really dig out the culvert, then he really has no choice but to go out to get water. Otherwise, all the perillas just planted in the medicine garden will die soon.
"If I store water in advance and wait until the water is cut off ten days later, I can still last at least four or five days, which means I only have fifteen days left to prepare."
Xu Taiping's little head was spinning rapidly.
"Little guy, the reason why I tell you this is because you are quite clever and I want to show you a way out, so you can surrender and become my ghost servant. Otherwise, I will let you be like Liu Qingmei and use your My soul is used as a wick to give you a taste of what life is worse than death!"
After a series of threats, the demon finally revealed the true purpose of coming here today.
After what happened yesterday, he took a fancy to Xu Taiping's cleverness and wanted to use his ghost to be his ghost servant after dedicating his body to the Tiger King.
These days, even ghosts are short of people.
"I am an orthodox monk of Qingxuan Sect, how can I act like a villain like you?"
Xu Taiping sneered, then released his fingers, and with a "swish" sound, he shot another arrow.
"brush!"
Without any suspense, his arrow was knocked down again by the demon's knife.
"Righteous monk?"
After knocking down Xu Taiping's arrow, the demon laughed loudly as if he had heard some funny joke.
"You Taoists say that there are two in one life, three in two, three in all things, and all things eventually merge into one. Therefore, the Taoism in this world is just different paths to the same destination. How can there be any distinction between good and evil? If you follow me, I will I’ll teach you the way to cultivate as a ghost, and given time, you will still be able to achieve righteous results!”
When coercion failed, the demon began to change his strategy to inducement.
"The Tao may not distinguish between good and evil, but people do. As the sages say, you are born as a human being. You cultivate yourself, you cross people, and you are like water, dwelling in the abyss of evil and doing good!"
At this point, Xu Taiping drew his arrow again, raised his head proudly, looked directly at the demon and continued: "You were born as a human being, not only did you not do good deeds, but you acted as a harbinger of tigers, harming the same kind, bullying the weak, this is a great evil. Be punished!"
At this time, Xu Taiping was less than five feet long, but when he said these words, he seemed to be much taller than the eight-foot-long ghost.
"Since you are seeking death yourself, then I will help you!"
The angry demon snorted coldly. While he turned around, he turned around and continued to yell at Xu Taiping:
"Do you think that if the water veins are cut off, the spiritual grass in your garden will wither? I am not afraid to let you know that the ditch in the garden is the source of the spiritual power of your residence. If the water veins are cut off, the small courtyard will die. The surrounding wards will be destroyed without attack!"
Maybe it was out of anger or too much contempt for Xu Taiping, but this ghost actually revealed such an important matter.
"Just wait, I will take your life within half a month!"
After saying this, the demonic ghost rode the demon wolf and disappeared into the forest beside the small courtyard in a flash.
"Half a month...is enough!"
Xu Taiping glanced at the mountain forest where the ghost disappeared, then he clenched his fist hard and said.
He didn't shoot those arrows randomly now, but deliberately tested the demon's strength.
"Three consecutive arrows, and the demon chose to block them every time. This proves that when the body he possesses is injured, his ghost will also be hurt."
"In addition, the strength of each of my three arrows is actually different, and he was obviously slower when blocking the last two arrows. From this point of view, if my cultivation level can go further, he will most likely be unable to do it again. He was able to block my arrow with such ease."
"If we can make him take it more lightly, it may hurt him."
Thinking of this, Xu Taiping jumped down from the roof, then glanced at the small courtyard and murmured:
"According to my true cultivation level, I can only fight with him unless I break through the Open Door Realm. Within half a month, even if I can upgrade the Canxia Gong to the freezing stage, if I want to kill the ghost, I can only lay a trap and kill him. He caught me by surprise."
"You only have one chance, so I have to be fully prepared."
Xu Taiping could choose to escape, for example, by taking a few bottles of liquor and pouring it on him to prevent the demon from getting close.
But the problem is, there are wild mountains within a few hundred miles, how long can he escape.
"Instead of thinking about how to escape, it's better to fight with your back against the enemy."
Xu Taiping turned around and walked quickly towards his bedroom.
His time now was very precious and he couldn't waste a moment.
But what Xu Taiping didn't know was that today's confrontation between him and the ghost was witnessed and heard by a figure in the forest a few miles away.
It was an old man with gray hair and ragged clothes lying on his back on the treetop.
The old man had a long bronze sword hanging from his waist and a wine gourd in his hand.
