The rain started to fall, from the pattering of light raindrops to the downpour accompanied by lightning and thunder. The fire that burned the small ruined temple stopped not long after it started.
At the main entrance of the ruined temple, a young man with silver hair hanging down his shoulders let go of his hand, and the talisman turned into ashes in his hands. He clapped his hands to shake off the paper dust, and then strode in.
Rain...he asked for it.
With his Taoist power, it is not that simple to ask for rain. He also needs to use the talisman that the master personally drew and injected with Taoist power. Of course, with his Taoist power, it is not difficult to use this talisman to pray for rain. , other disciples need to occupy the Ren or Gui position in Zhengbei Kan Palace to set up an altar in order to use this talisman to pray for rain. He can just find a place to stand - as long as he does not stand in Zhengnan Li Palace.
The Thousand-faced Immortal set up formations and burned incense all because of this fire, but this fire that had been prepared for a long time was extinguished by Dongfang Watcher with a wave of his hand.
To put it bluntly, the Qianmian Old Immortal's cultivation is not that good. At best, he can only bully ordinary people. Otherwise, he would not be able to burn everyone to death by "moving wood and lighting a fire by himself". If the technique is extremely successful, no matter whether it is evil or righteous, thunder or flames, it will come and go as soon as you call it.
Of course, God is watching what people do, and there is cause and effect. A house that has accumulated good deeds will be blessed, and a house that has accumulated evil will be in trouble. Using magic is to steal the secrets of heaven, and it will lead to karmic consequences, let alone using magic to harm people's lives - the face and body of the Thousand-faced Immortal are getting older. It can be regarded as a proof.
In the words of the master of Tuanyun Temple, it is called "retribution", and this kind of retribution has nothing to do with whether the person who uses the spell is good or evil, or whether the purpose of using the spell is to save or hurt people.
The so-called "Heaven and Earth are unkind and regard all things as rotten dogs" may be the case - Heaven's behavior is always constant, not for Yao's survival or Jie's destruction. Heaven's way has its own laws. When humans use magic, they are stealing the power of Heaven and acting on behalf of Heaven. No.
Therefore, true Taoists rarely walk in the secular world. Those who practice Taoism value life the most, and those who are indifferent by nature are better off. Those who are kind by nature will naturally have some compassion when they see injustice. If they don't take action, their conscience will not be able to live with it; if they take action, their lives will be difficult to live with.
Therefore, since ancient times, there have been very few people who have been able to ascend to immortality.
But Tuanyunguan, the master, is obviously a master who does not believe in evil. To send Dongfang Watch to intervene means that he either does not believe in it, is not afraid, or both - Dongfang Watch has received the master's order. Come, so everything Dongfang Watch does will be retributive on the head of this master.
Of course, this master doesn't really care about this, because he has a tough life.
In any case, Dongfang Watch, who had prayed for the heavy rain, had temporarily saved He Nan and the others from being burned to death.
"Where are you going, monster?" As soon as he opened the door of the small temple, Dongfang Watch suddenly pulled out the wooden sword slung on his back and pointed in a direction.
This sword is not an ordinary finger, but a body-fixing technique is cast on it, directly immobilizing the figure of the Thousand-faced Old Immortal - or how to say Tuanyunguan, the first gate in the world, Dongfang Watcher for a hundred years He is a talented person. It took a long time for Taoist Wang to draw a talisman to break through the formation and create an opening. In just a short moment, Dongfang Watcher directly restrained the Thousand-faced Immortal and just raised his hand.
Each Taoist sect is also different. For example, the Lingbao Sect, which Wang Daozhang studied under, is famous for its talismans and magic weapons. However, even so, it cannot escape the realm of martial arts. Even the Fuyao sect, which is recognized by everyone in the world, is mostly He is a martial arts cultivator, but the disciples in Tuanyun Temple have basically entered the ranks of Xuan cultivators.
The strange and sinister voice of the Thousand-faced Immortal rang out. At first, I could only hear his voice but not see him. After the immobilization method took effect, his figure was forced out: "The little Taoist priest is quite capable, but he actually killed me." The location of the true body has been found." As he spoke, the Thousand-faced Immortal didn't give Dongfang Watch a moment to react, and used his corpse weapon skills to surround Dongfang Watch.
There were eight corpse soldiers who besieged He Nan and Wang Daozhang before, but this time there were twenty.
The Qianmian Old Immortal knew at a glance that Dongfang Watcher was an extraordinary person. If he came to pray for this rain, he would lose at least three years of his life. Although he didn't know that Dongfang Watcher borrowed the power of Master Tuan Yun Guan to do this. , but from the fluctuations of his power, he could feel that it was unfathomable, so he thought of disappearing and running away. But Dongfang Watch naturally would not let this evildoer escape, so he "pinned" the position of the Thousand-faced Immortal with one strike.
The Thousand-faced Immortal didn't dare to be too big, and he had already used all his strength in just one encounter. These twenty corpse soldiers were the limit of what he could control at present. Even if there were one more, he would die and be destroyed with his cultivation level. .
"What great skill did I think...it turns out to be just a higher-level corpse extermination." Dongfang Tuo said in his heart. Although he is usually lazy, he can still get along with his fellow disciples or elders, but with Naturally, there is nothing to say about this evil obstacle.
He Nan and Wang Daozhang spent a long time working together to defeat a corpse soldier, and had to rely on the handleless sword, an indestructible magic weapon. Dongfang Watcher only needed one sword - the wooden sword to point at the corpse soldier. The soldier immediately fell to the ground and could not get up, and then the corpse-repelling talisman in his abdomen ignited until a ball of fire burned the corpse soldier until only ashes were left.
One sword at a time, twenty swords in other words, before the Thousand-faced Old Immortal could break away from Dongfang Watcher's immobilization technique, he saw these corpse soldiers burning up like fireworks. The Thousand-faced Immortal saw the pain in his heart - it takes a lot of effort and time to create a corpse soldier. Counting the loss and decay of the corpse, the Thousand-faced Immortal can only produce single-digit corpses in a year. When the soldiers came, Dongfang Watcher's effort, which was less than a stick of incense, basically destroyed half of his life's accumulation.
"Damn it!" The Thousand-faced Immortal could not help but yell, and then he used all his strength to sacrifice less than ten corpse soldiers to block Dongfang Watcher's offensive. After breaking away from the immobilization technique, he went straight to Xiangtang. Go inside - he knows that he will definitely not be able to escape today, so he might as well risk the lives of the people inside in exchange for his own chance of survival.
As soon as Qian-faced Old Immortal entered the incense hall, Dongfang Watcher's wooden sword caught the Qian-faced Old Immortal's back with his hind foot. Qian-faced Old Immortal rolled on the spot and raised the body of the unconscious Taoist Wang as Shield, step by step, retreated behind the incense table: "Little Taoist priest, you are here just to save him, right? Can you see who is faster, you or me?"
In fact, the idea of the Thousand-faced Old Immortal is quite reasonable - 90% of people will think that this young Taoist priest and the old Taoist priest are from the same sect.
Seeing that the silver-haired young Taoist priest was silent, the arrogance of the Thousand-faced Immortal rose again, but his life was now in someone else's hands, so he couldn't say it clearly: "Let's discuss something... ...I know you are here to save people. These four people are still alive so far. If you let me live, I will let them live too. Let’s be even. There are still many of my friends in this small temple over the years. My savings can be worth one thousand eight hundred taels of silver no matter what. As long as I can get out of this temple safely, these will all be yours."
"Not interested." Dongfang Watcher didn't take the hostage seriously at all, he just walked forward slowly with his wooden sword in hand.
"Don't come here! If you make one more move, I will strangle him to death!" The Qianmian Old Immortal was also furious, his face turned red, and he pinched Taoist Wang's throat with his right hand to exert force - even though the Qianmian Old Immortal only understands demons. Fa doesn't know martial arts, but he has been doing physical work carrying corpses for many years, so his body and bones are not bad - at least it is more than enough to strangle Taoist Wang who is still in a coma. In just a moment, Taoist Wang's face It has turned purple.
In fact, Dongfang Watcher doesn't care at all whether Taoist Wang is dead or alive - Master told him to do two things when he came out, one is to kill demons, and the other is to save a young man named He - so Dongfang Watcher I only keep these two things in mind. He wasn't trying to get into trouble, admitting death, or doing it on purpose. He really just wanted to finish his work early and go back to the mountains to rest. He would save others if he could, and he wouldn't force it if he couldn't.
The old Taoist friend being held hostage in front of him was already in his fifties. He was definitely not named He, but after all, he was a member of the same Taoist group - let's save him. Dongfang Watcher sighed bitterly in his heart: "Master, Master, you can really cause trouble for me."
"Have you forgotten that I just used the immobilization method to restrain you?" Dongfang Zhuoxu looked at the ravaged face of the Thousand-faced Immortal with squinted eyes.
"Ah...this..." The Thousand-faced Immortal was dumbfounded after hearing this. He just wanted to apply force, but found that he could no longer move and could not even speak.
Dongfang Watcher walked up to the Thousand-faced Immortal without haste and pulled Daochang Wang's neck out of the old immortal's withered hands. Then he walked to the due east of the Thousand-faced Immortal and raised his right foot. Pointing at the wooden sword - it seemed as if a bolt of lightning spurted out from the blade of the wooden sword. The Qianmian Old Immortal only felt the white light flashing in front of his eyes like a bolt, and then he lost consciousness.
Dongfang Watchman was born with all five elements, among which the attribute of "wood" is the most consistent, and in the Bagua, it is the most consistent with the "thunder" represented by the word "zhen". In addition, the master personally taught him the Five Thunder Methods of the Shenxiao School since he was a child. So standing in the Dongfang Zhen Palace, he cast spells, especially thunder spells - one can imagine the extent to which he performed them.
After this blow, the Thousand-faced Immortal didn't even leave a trace of ashes.
When He Nan Youyou woke up, he felt exhausted all over, his mouth and nose were sore, and his face was as dry as if there was a layer of ash. He turned his neck with difficulty and opened his eyes, only to see three people on his left. They were talking nonchalantly, and on the right was the fat monk Master Wu Xun.
Although Taoist Master Wang is not a Taoist cultivator, he has also developed a lot of hard skills in Lingbao Sect. At least his body and bones are very strong. He first broke the soul formation, and then fought with paper men and corpse soldiers. After fainting, he was also killed by Qian Mian. The old immortal almost strangled him to death, but he was still the first to wake up. As soon as he saw Dongfang Watcher dressed like this, he knew that this man was also a Taoist priest whose cultivation was far above his own. And when he heard that the Thousand-faced Old Immortal had been destroyed physically and mentally, and his bones were broken into ashes, he felt envious and admired him.
Xing Baotou had only woken up about a quarter of an hour earlier than He Nan. He heard that the Thousand-faced Immortal was dead and was still frightened - he had only heard about ghosts and gods before, but he didn't expect that he would really be gone in the gate of hell today. Once upon a time, I still feel like I am half asleep.
Although Dongfang Watcher always looked listless, his eyes were actually very sharp. When he saw He Nan open his eyes, he said: "He Nan, right? Is your father's surname He Mingting?"
He Nan snorted twice: "Yeah."
"The last name is right, the place is right, and even the biological father is right... You should be the person Master asked me to save." Dongfang Watcher nodded: "Let me write off the expenses. "
