In the room in Tongzilou, Daochang Lu held the mahogany sword in his right hand upright in front of his chest, pointing his fingers together at Xu Zhixing on the bed opposite.
Looking at his body alone, Xu Zhixing should be about seventeen or eighteen years old, about the same age as Xu Zhixing, but Xu Zhixing is about 1.8 meters tall, and he is indeed as strong as Quanquan said next door.
Just looking up, there was a big rat head on Xu Zhixing's neck!
"No, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this child is possessed by a rat spirit?" Su Ran calmed down her mood before she dared to continue looking at this strange scene.
"You won't have your own consciousness if you are possessed by a rat. I guess you must have been fucked." Qin Shoumo clicked his tongue.
"Being punished? What did he do?" Su Ran asked curiously.
"How would I know." Qin Shoumo rolled his eyes, "It's normal to be raped. It's just that he met a rat spirit with only a little bit of morality, and ended up doing something terrible. He was broken when he was about to become an immortal. If someone does something good to you, then you can take revenge if you are angry."
Su Ran was stunned and said, "You are so stingy. If it doesn't work this time, you can just become an immortal next time. How can you take revenge on others?"
Qin Shoumo shook his head, "The cultivation of these animal spirits is different from that of humans. If humans miss the best time, they can wait until the next time the Heaven's Gate opens to find another opportunity.
Animals and the like are not good. They only have one chance to cultivate and become immortals in their lifetime. Once they fail, even if their Taoism is not exhausted, they will never have the chance to transform into human form and ascend to heaven.
So if someone destroys them at the critical moment of becoming immortals, the hatred will be remembered for a lifetime. "
"Tsk, if you look at it this way, Xu Zhixing is in trouble, and now someone is coming to visit him." Su Ran said with some sympathy: "For a moment, I didn't know which of the two was worse."
"There's no need to hesitate, sister, you must be sympathizing with others. After all, we are all of the same race. It's so miserable for this guy to get a rat's head." Qin Shoumo glanced at Xu Zhixing again, it was really terrible.
Su Ran nodded, "That's true. I don't know if this Taoist priest can do it, but he seems to be quite reliable."
"Okay, of course he can." Qin Shoumo said firmly.
"How do you know? Don't tell me it's just facial recognition." Su Ran asked casually.
"How can I not know what I taught you?"
"Ah? Huh?" Su Ran was stunned, "Are we still acquaintances?"
Qin Shoumo squinted his eyes and recalled, "It must have been more than forty years ago. There was a hidden mountain near this area, and there was a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain. I can't remember its name now.
It was summer at that time, it was quite hot at night, and there was no air conditioning or anything, so I ran to Yinshan Mountain to enjoy the coolness in the middle of the night.
As soon as I found a cooler big stone to lie down on, I met a little Taoist priest hiding and crying next to me.
I was bored at night and had nothing to do, so I called the little Taoist priest over and asked him what he was crying about.
While crying, he told me that it was because in the Taoist temple, the Taoist techniques and swordsmanship taught by the old temple master were already mastered by other fellow disciples, but he was the only one who could not perform a complete set of swordsmanship, nor could he memorize the Taoist techniques. meeting.
Because of his poor talent, the old temple master did not like him, and his fellow disciples also ostracized him in the Taoist temple.
Tonight, the old temple master even told him that if he could no longer practice the swordsmanship he was taught some time ago, he would be driven off the mountain.
This little Taoist priest had no father or mother, but he was picked up by the old temple master and brought back to the mountain. At that time, they were the only two masters and disciples living together in the Taoist temple, and the old temple master treated him quite well.
But later, as more and more disciples came to the temple, his talent and stupidity slowly began to become apparent.
The first senior brother to practice with Lao Guanzhu turned out to be the one with the least talent and the slowest practice.
Soon, his prestige as a senior brother in front of his junior brothers was gone, and the old temple leader didn't like her very much anymore. Instead, he favored a few talented disciples, and even told him such important things tonight. talk.
On a whim that night, what I hated most was such a partial master, so I taught him a set of exorcism sword techniques and some simple demon-killing and demon-killing techniques, so that he could go back and surprise his master. "
"Didn't you say that this little Taoist priest's talent is not good? Can he learn so much in one night if you teach him so much?" Su Ran asked curiously.
"I've taught him everything he wants to learn personally. Why do he still need to learn it? I'll just tap him and he'll have these things in his mind." Qin Shoumo said proudly.
"You won't teach others any nonsense, will you?" Su Ran expressed doubts.
Qin Shoumo glared, "What are you talking about? Who do you think I am? Brother, I am an orthodox Taoist, more upright than his ancestor."
Su Ran was stunned, "Where did you get the Taoist orthodoxy? Have you ever been a Taoist priest before?"
"It's been a long time since I mentioned it. I remember it was still the Eastern Han Dynasty. What was the name of the founder of Longhu Mountain? Oh yes, Zhang Daoling.
At that time, I traveled with Zhang Daoling for a period of time, and one day I forgot what happened. The two of us made a bet. The bet was nothing new. Whoever lost would teach the other person a secret skill he had learned. one person.
I am a person who has always been lucky and always wins every bet. I have never lost... Okay, I admit, I actually lost, but I changed the fact. "
Qin Shoumo was originally going to pretend, but when he saw Su Ran's eyes, he changed his mind and told the truth, "After winning the bet, Zhang Daoling willingly gave in and asked me to choose a secret technique from him, and then he would teach him Give me.
But for me, do I need someone else to teach me these things? I went through it in his mind, found a passable swordsmanship, and learned it directly, and then learned some Taoist theory that he was proud of.
What I originally thought was that with these things, when I am bored in the future, I can also start a sect and have fun. After all, this Daoling can be the founder, he still has something, so I will learn these two things. It is better than those small Taoist temples. Much stronger.
But since then, I haven’t had much contact with these Taoist priests, and I haven’t had time to teach them what I have learned throughout my life.
It happened that I met this little Taoist priest on Yinshan Mountain that night, and I felt sorry for him again, so I just passed it on to him.
One thing to say is that the talent of this little Taoist priest is indeed very poor. If Zhang Daoling knew that I had passed on these essences of his to such a little Taoist priest, he would probably be angry enough to come back to fight with me.
After teaching the swordsmanship and Taoism, I felt that it was still not enough. If his master and other brothers had poor eyesight and could not see the subtlety of this set of swordsmanship, then the teaching would be in vain.
Later, after careful consideration, I asked the little Taoist priest to go back and wait. When their Taoist temple had a morning meeting the next day, I directly possessed the statue of the ancestor in the middle of their main hall.
While they were kneeling to worship the statue of the Patriarch, I coughed, which almost scared the elderly temple owner to death on the spot.
After they calmed down, I, as the founder of their Taoist temple, praised the little Taoist priest for his intelligence and filial piety.
After I finished my praise, I nodded to the little Taoist priest and said, after the old temple master dies, I will let the new temple master of the little Taoist priest. If anyone disobeys me and prevents the little Taoist priest from becoming the temple master, I will take him in advance. Go to the underworld and practice with me.
Although there were ghosts and spirits in Taoism at that time, these Taoist priests had never seen the Patriarch appear. They were all so frightened that they kept kowtowing there. The old monk wanted to pass the throne on the spot. To the little Taoist priest. "
"Although it can be considered a good thing, when it comes from your mouth, it doesn't sound like a good thing." Su Ran rolled his eyes.
"Whatever you say, this must be a good thing. I saved a little Taoist priest who was about to be kicked out of the Taoist temple and was confused about his life and future." Qin Shoumo pointed to the old Taoist priest below and said righteously: "Look, If it weren't for me back then, how could he be like this great man with immortal demeanor and spiritual integrity?"
"So what happened next? He is now the master of the temple?"
"Yes, cultivators have always been in awe of the Patriarch. I have said that, and no one will dare to object.
It's just that he is just the master of the temple. Now, except for him and a child he picked up, there is no one else in the Taoist temple. "
"Huh? Doesn't he still have many senior brothers and so on?" Su Ran asked curiously: "It sounds like there were quite a lot of people there before. Why is it empty now?"
Qin Shoumo shrugged, "How normal. His junior brothers are staring at the old temple master's position every day, and each one is better than the other. The old temple master is closer than their own father.
Although they couldn't find out who his biological father was.
These people are here every day, all aiming for the position of the temple master. Although I don’t know what it is to be the temple master of more than a dozen people in such a place where birds don’t shit, but after all, in a Taoist temple They have never seen much of the world, so becoming a temple master is their biggest wish.
But it's okay now. If I interfere in the middle, their temple master will be completely out of luck. In the future, when the little Taoist priest becomes the temple master, they will still have to listen to him.
I guess after thinking about it over and over again, I felt that I didn’t dare to do it right. Maybe when the little Taoist priest became the master of the temple, he would still find trouble for himself, so these people slowly ran away one by one. Within a few years, the whole group There is only one young Taoist priest left in the Taoist temple, looking after the empty Taoist temple. "
Su Ran looked at Taoist Master Lu and nodded slightly, "It does look like there are no apprentices to serve him. He is dressed in rags. I guess this Taoist temple doesn't have much money."
"How much money can a small Taoist temple have? If it can survive until now, it's pretty good."
Qin Shoumo squinted his eyes and looked into the room, "I just happened to have a look. I haven't seen him for so many years. How is this little Taoist's craftsmanship doing now?"
