In the early years of Zhenguan, there was Xiaosha Village in Xinyang County, Hongzhou, Tang Dynasty.
evening.
"Three mages, please enter the coffin."
The richest man in Xiaosha Village, Mr. Wang, raised his hands and said with a smile on his face, like a weasel that became a spirit.
Behind him, in addition to the servants, there were three people whose appearance was incompatible with those around him. They were an old monk, an old witch and a young Taoist priest.
The young Taoist priest's name is Li Daoxuan. Although his Taoist robes are a bit shabby, he can't hide his handsome appearance and upright figure. His long hair is combed into a bun and tied with a wooden hairpin. His eyes are bright and clear, and he is quite elegant.
He comes from a later generation, and traveled through time because of an ancient book called "The Heavenly Book of Demons", and became this little Taoist priest with the same name as him, who makes a living by catching ghosts and eliminating demons.
Yes, although this world was during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, there were many creepy monsters. Li Daoxuan quickly accepted this. After all, the "Book of Demons" in his mind was the most incredible existence.
At this time, Li Daoxuan looked at the three gloomy coffins, frowned slightly, and retreated behind everyone without choosing first.
In fact, he also knows that because of his age, people here don't value him very much.
Compared with him, the old monk with long beard and white eyebrows and the old witch with mysterious patterns on her face are much more believable, making people feel professional at first glance.
The old monk glanced at Li Daoxuan, smiled, and said: "Little baby, you have only been practicing Taoism for a few years, but you still dare to capture the list to succumb to demons?"
As he spoke, he held his head high and lay down in the black coffin on the far left with a calm expression, and stretched out.
But I don't know if it was an illusion. The moment the servants closed the coffin, Li Daoxuan seemed to see a trace of nervousness in his eyes?
The old witch looked around and didn't put the coffin first. Instead, she carefully took out an urn and placed it in the southeast corner of the yard. She muttered a few incomprehensible spells, and then a magical scene appeared.
The ashes jar suddenly began to tremble violently, and then slowly returned to calm, as if in response to the old witch's words.
The evening breeze blows, bringing a chilling chill that goes straight from the tailbone to the scalp.
Seeing this scene, Rich Man Wang and his servants took a few steps back, some of them afraid to look at the old witch.
The old witch sneered and said nothing. She calmly walked into the coffin in the middle and lay down with her eyes closed.
At the urging of the rich man Wang, the servants carefully came up and closed the coffin lid.
Then everyone's eyes turned to Li Daoxuan.
Li Daoxuan retreated to the door at some point. Facing everyone's gaze, he smiled calmly, silently replayed the escape route he had memorized in his mind, then walked towards the last coffin and lay down in it.
The coffin was not big, and there was just enough space for Li Daoxuan to lie in it. It seemed to be tailor-made, but there was a musty smell and a faint smell of blood.
As the coffin was slowly closed, the light disappeared little by little, and finally it fell into complete darkness.
After a few muffled sounds, the footsteps outside quickly faded away, and everything around seemed to fall into deathly silence, leaving only the sound of Li Daoxuan's own breathing.
He used his meager magic power to condense it into his eyes.
The next moment, the originally invisible surroundings became clear. When Li Daoxuan's eyes swept over his head, he suddenly stopped.
His eyes narrowed, because there were many dried blood marks on the coffin lid above his head, which were traces of being scratched with fingers.
Li Daoxuan pushed the coffin lid, but it remained motionless, like a rock.
In the middle of the moonlight, three coffins were quietly placed in this dark courtyard, and a large square stone was pressed on the coffin board.
…
Rich Man Wang returned to his bedroom at home, dismissed everyone, and then opened a hidden compartment on the wall to reveal a statue of a god being enshrined.
The statue has a green face, fangs, and wings on its back. It looks fierce.
Rich Man Wang took out three blood-red incense sticks, lit them and inserted them into the incense burner. He bowed and said, "The sacrifices are ready. Please taste them, honorable gods!"
"I hope that God will continue to bless my Wang family and make them rich and prosperous!"
…
After confirming that he was trapped in the coffin, Li Daoxuan was not particularly nervous. He closed his eyes, and an ancient book shone brightly in his mind, with four ancient seal characters on the cover.
The Devil's Book!
This was his golden finger, and it was also this book that allowed him to travel from the 21st century to the world of the Tang Dynasty where demons were infested, and he also gained some skills in subjugating demons.
As long as you kill monsters and monsters, you can get corresponding rewards. Nearly half a year has passed since time travel, and now Li Daoxuan has some means.
He made Tao seals with his hands, bent his knees, straightened his waist, his heart sank into the deep valley, and kept quiet to recite. His muscles all over his body were completely relaxed, and his whole body was as soft as a ball of cotton.
Li Daoxuan's breathing became lighter and slower, as long as a hibernating snake, and even the beating of his heart became slower and slower.
"Take obstacles to fill Lili, steal heaven and deceive destiny, use the fire of Lili Palace in the south to refine the gold in the water in the north..."
Li Dao
It was also this skill that allowed him to develop magical power and the ability to settle down and live in peace.
Gradually, two streams of air appeared in Li Daoxuan's body. One stream passed through the heart and turned into the warm heart fire energy, corresponding to the fire of the southern palace in the formula; the other stream passed through the kidneys and turned into the warm and cool kidney water essence, corresponding to Gold in the Northern Waters.
The two breaths of dragon and tiger meet at Dantiankou, and the yin and yang complement each other, turning into a wisp of pure magic power.
After the heaven and earth have sex, they fall into Huangting.
The newly cultivated mana, together with Li Daoxuan's previous mana, formed a thin stream and hit the lower dantian.
However, the entrance to the Lower Dantian was blocked, like a stone gate, standing in between, allowing Li Daoxuan's magic power to collide without moving at all.
Opening his eyes, Li Daoxuan's eyes showed a trace of pain. I don't know what happened recently, but he felt a dull pain in his lower abdomen whenever he practiced.
Although the Dangmo Tianshu instilled the practice experience of this technique into him, Li Daoxuan is a layman in Taoism. Perhaps he has committed some taboos in practice unconsciously?
It seems that I need to consult a professional Taoist priest when I have time.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, the howling wind sounded faintly around the silence, as shrill as a ghost's cry, making people's hair stand on end.
At the same time, the old monk's horrified cry rang out.
"Let me out quickly!"
"I'm a liar, I don't know how to subdue demons at all!"
"I just want to cheat some money..."
"Go away! Go away! What kind of monster are you!"
With a shrill scream, the old monk's voice stopped abruptly.
Li Daoxuan's eyes flashed, he quickly took out a talisman seal, made a seal with his hand, and recited silently in his heart.
"Yinnu Liuding, protect my body, Yangnan Liujia, protect my soul, hurry up like a law!"
The next moment, the talisman in Li Daoxuan's hand turned into a golden light and escaped into his body, giving his violently beating heart finally a sense of security.
This is the Liuding Liujia amulet. After use, it will automatically trigger when attacked by evil spirits. Currently, Li Daoxuan's attainment on this amulet can only last for a moment.
But Li Daoxuan was not yet at ease. He continued to take out the six Ding Liujia amulets he had prepared in advance and used ten of them in a row before stopping.
After all, only when you are alive can you have output!
At this time, he vaguely heard that the old witch's coffin was also opened, and there was a sound of fighting outside, as if a ghost baby was crying.
Li Daoxuan held the talisman seal in his hand. It was no longer a talisman, but a powerful five-thunder talisman. The talisman patterns were extremely complex and difficult to draw, and he didn't have a few.
He didn't take action immediately. The old witch seemed to be quite capable, so why not let her consume the monster's energy first?
But after just a few breaths, the old witch let out a scream, and there was no more movement, and the ghost baby's cry disappeared.
Li Daoxuan's face turned dark.
He is a little confused now. Is it his teammates who are too weak or the demon who is too powerful?
However, before he could think about it, Li Daoxuan's heart began to beat rapidly, because he clearly heard the sound of footsteps stopping in front of his coffin.
The coffin lid is being pushed open little by little...
