Hearing Li Daoxuan's words, although Ma Yao didn't want to admit it, he still had to nod.
"Lord Sword Immortal is wise, this matter... is indeed my doing."
The horse demon begged for mercy with a bitter face: "Master Sword Immortal, the little demon was a well-bred horse in a family during his lifetime. Later, he accidentally ate the fairy fruit and practiced wisely, but he could not change his lustful habits. He did this because of his confusion. If you do such a stupid thing, please forgive me, Lord Sword Immortal!"
Under Li Daoxuan's questioning, he revealed his crimes in the Guanyin Temple.
Those women who come to the temple to offer incense will be deceived by his magic. After they are happy, the women will only remember Guanyin in their dreams and will not know that they have been defiled.
They thought they had received enlightenment from the Bodhisattva and were very excited, but they didn't want it to be just a monster's illusion.
And this horse demon, because he was a stallion in life, transformed into a demon queen, and has a strange ability. The women he has sex with are almost always on target.
However, because of the differences between men and monsters, and because of his lack of spiritual practice, although women can get pregnant, they often fail to give birth smoothly in the end.
Because for monsters in the Yin God Realm, the filth in the demonic aura is extremely heavy, which will greatly affect people's physique and spirit. At least they have to go to the Yangshen Realm and be refined by the energy of heaven and earth before the demonic aura becomes more pure and comparable to mortals. The possibility of producing heirs.
For example, the White Snake in "The Legend of White Snake", her cultivation level is undoubtedly above the Yang Shen realm, so even a thousand-year-old snake demon can have an heir with Xu Xian, and her child even got the first prize.
After cultivating to her level, she is no longer a pure demon, but a demon fairy.
The horse demon is naturally far inferior to the white lady, so his children cannot be born without exception. This is also the reason why the statues in Guanyin Temple have not been transformed into golden bodies so far.
And those women who failed to give birth to children either died of dystocia or felt it was their own negligence. It is generally difficult to think of Guanyin Temple.
After the horse demon told his story, he begged for mercy to Li Daoxuan: "Master Sword Immortal, the little demon has realized his mistake. Please spare my life. I will definitely do more good deeds and accumulate virtue!"
Li Daoxuan looked at him deeply and said, "No more?"
The horse demon was stunned and said: "I...I have already confessed everything, I really have nothing to hide!"
Li Daoxuan sneered and said, "Then let me ask you, why are the villagers outside afraid of sleeping?"
The horse demon's expression changed, revealing a hint of panic.
"This... this little demon doesn't know."
"Haha, let me ask you again, where is the power of the incense accumulated on this Guanyin statue?"
The horse demon lowered his head and whispered: "I have taken them all for training."
"oh?"
Li Dao
The horse demon looked pale and hesitated.
"Okay, I don't need to press you."
Li Daoxuan gently tapped the sword box with his folding fan.
The next moment, the white dragon sword thread changed into the shape of a sword again and flew into the box.
Plop!
The horse demon's body was riddled with holes and fell to the ground. Tiny blood holes were all over his body, dyeing the ground scarlet red.
However, his vitality was indeed very tenacious. Even with such a serious injury, he could still stand up with difficulty. He tried his best to salute Li Daoxuan and said, "Thank you——"
However, before he could finish speaking, Li Daoxuan kicked him away and landed at the feet of the Guanyin statue.
"Since you said you used the magical power of these incense to practice, well, now in front of me, absorb these magical powers, which can also heal your own injuries."
After hearing Li Daoxuan's words, Ma Yao not only did not relax, but became even more nervous.
He hesitated and remained silent for a long time.
"Haha, you don't know how to absorb the divine power of incense at all!"
Li Daoxuan took a step forward, his eyes as sharp as a sword, as if he wanted to see through the horse demon.
"You are just a gatekeeper, or in other words, you are guarding the temple for others. The incense and divine power in this temple do not belong to you at all!"
The horse demon's body trembled slightly.
"So you have been unscrupulous all these years, but no one has ever come to deal with you. It's because there is a very powerful backer behind you. You are collecting these incense and divine powers for him. Am I right?"
The horse demon looked very struggling.
"snort!"
Li Daoxuan's eyes flashed with lightning, and he pinched the thunder seal in his hand. The sky suddenly darkened, and the billowing dark clouds enveloped the Guanyin Temple, revealing the vertical and horizontal thunder light.
"If you don't say anything, I will call down the thunder from the sky and completely destroy your body and spirit, crushing your bones and turning you into ashes!"
The sound of thunder shook his mind, and when he saw that Li Daoxuan could still use thunder, Ma Yao was completely frightened. After struggling for a moment, he finally confessed everything he knew.
It turned out that after his transformation, he had always been a carefree and happy stallion, until he met a Taoist priest who knew thunder magic. The Taoist priest was very terrifying, and his attacks were like the sky falling apart, leaving him unable to fight back.
But the Taoist priest did not kill it, but let it build the Guanyin Temple here, relying on its unique ability to collect the divine power of incense.
However, the Taoist priest was not using these incense powers for himself, but for a ghost baby to use.
Every three months, the ghost baby will come to the temple and absorb all the power of the incense.
After listening to Ma Yao's story, Li Daoxuan's heart moved.
Sure enough, he found the right place. This Guanyin Temple is indeed related to the ghost baby!
It's just that the real culprit behind this is really the great uncle?
Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan sighed lightly. His master had told him before that although his uncle acted domineeringly, he was very arrogant and could not possibly poison the Heavenly Master.
Now it seems that people do change. The master has not returned to the mountain for more than 20 years. The uncle may not be the same uncle he used to be.
"If my guess is correct, was the ghost baby hiding in this statue just now, sucking the power of incense?"
The horse demon nodded quickly and said: "Shangxian Yingming, I can't hide anything from you. The ghost baby was possessed by the Guanyin statue just now, but as soon as he saw you appearing, he ran away and seemed a little scared."
Li Daoxuan showed a hint of understanding.
Sure enough, the reason why he saw the Guanyin statue turned into a demon when he first entered the temple was not an illusion, but the ghost baby was possessing it.
It's just that the ghost baby has a hidden magical power, and he ran away as soon as he saw him.
However, the monk could escape but could not escape from the temple. Since Li Daoxuan had found his lair, it was only a matter of time to catch the ghost baby.
"Shangxian, I have told you everything, you must spare my life!"
Li Daoxuan looked at him and said with a smile: "The last question, if you can satisfy me, I may consider sparing your life."
The horse demon said quickly: "You can just ask!"
Li Daoxuan put away his smile and said in a serious voice: "Where did the ghost baby... run to?"
There was hesitation in the horse demon's eyes.
Li Daoxuan's folding fan clicked on the Dragon Sword Box again and said: "Sword Three——"
The horse demon shouted in fear: "I said, I said, after the ghost baby smokes the incense, he usually runs to the Lu family in the village. I have investigated it because of curiosity. Lu Siyuan once had a wife Li She was ten months pregnant but died in childbirth. I suspect that the ghost baby... is his son!"
After saying this, he knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Sir, I have said everything. Please spare my life and give me a chance to put down the butcher knife and change my ways!"
Li Daoxuan sighed softly and said: "Put down the butcher knife?"
"These words are useful to monks, but it's a pity that I am a Taoist priest."
The horse demon suddenly raised his head and said angrily: "You, you don't keep your word!"
"Haha, I said I could consider saving your life, but now I've thought about it clearly and won't."
Li Daoxuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
From the very beginning, he had no intention of saving Ma Yao's life. Over the past few years, he had let countless innocent women die due to difficult childbirths. Even if there were some who survived, they would all be stillborn. They will definitely be disliked by their husbands' families in the future. , a life worse than death.
How can such evil obstacles not be removed?
There was a fierce look in the horse demon's eyes. When he saw that he was only a few steps away from Li Daoxuan, he rushed forward with a roar and bumped into Li Daoxuan's chest.
When he showed his true form, he was tall and tall, with iron hooves, and looked extremely handsome. Although he was covered in blood, he was like a sweaty BMW, crushing the ground and crashing into Li Daoxuan like lightning.
Ordinary Taoist priests, even if their cultivation is far superior to it, are very fragile physically. If they are hit by such a fierce horse, they may break their bones and tendons, and the situation of the battle may be reversed.
But Li Daoxuan is obviously not an ordinary Taoist priest, but a true heir of Dragon and Tiger, a hexagonal Taoist priest without any blind spots or weaknesses.
He raised his fingers, and golden light rippled around him, making him look like a golden man.
Golden Light Divine Spell!
Boom!
The horse demon bumped into him, as if he had hit a golden mountain. He felt like stars were in his eyes and he was dizzy. The iron hooves that could travel thousands of miles a day staggered and fell to the ground with a thud.
Li Daoxuan called down a forty-nine thunder.
With a thunder that shook the earth, a piece of black land appeared in the Guanyin Temple. The horse demon who had done many evil things and raped countless women finally turned into fly ash and died completely.
"The Book of Demons" shines brightly in Li Daoxuan's mind.
"In May of the second year of Zhenguan, I killed the horse demon in the early stage of Yin Shen in Shanghe Village and received the reward - the spell [Cut paper into a horse]!"
"Cut paper into horses, according to the legend of the Eight Immortals Zhang Guolao. Cutting paper into donkeys and horses can travel tens of thousands of miles in a day, tread water with four hooves, control clouds, roar like thunder, and have the power to subdue demons!"
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up when he saw the records in the Demon Book.
It turned out to be the secret technique of Zhang Guolao, one of the Eight Immortals!
Zhang Guolao is one of the most famous among the Eight Immortals. He has left many classic stories in later generations, including the legend that he cut paper into a donkey and traveled tens of thousands of miles in a day.
It is said that he was riding a paper donkey, and he was facing backward, riding upside down on the donkey's back.
This donkey is not an ordinary donkey. It can "travel tens of thousands of miles a day". When resting, the donkey can be folded up and put into a pocket. If necessary, "it can be frozen with ice to turn it back into a donkey."
This donkey can even cross the ocean, ride on the clouds and fly into the sky, and no ordinary demon can stop its hooves.
Although it is not a magical power, it is also a very precious and rare secret skill in Taoism!
