As the saying goes, things that are not satisfactory in life are always the same as those who talk to others, and the same is true for the path of practicing Taoism.
For those who practice Taoism, it is nothing more than to live forever, or to become immortals, live with the heaven and earth, and live with the sun and the moon! However, the path of cultivation is so difficult, and one thousand years of cultivation is deteriorated, and one's life will be digested into dreams.
In fact, it is good to die and disappear. For some people, the path to heaven is already right in front of them, but after working hard for so many years, they finally had time to learn the magic of immortality and had not yet found the secret to long-lasting vision, and were cruelly driven down the mountain. That was not such a wonderful thing.
"well……"
"I didn't realize that forty years have passed in a hurry, but I didn't expect that I, Jiang Shang, ended up being driven down the mountain by my master?"
An old Taoist wearing a Taoist robe and long beard and gray-haired, sat dejectedly on the stone beside a muddy road in an official road, with his own salute on the side and sighing, which aroused the curious eyes of many passers-by who were rushing to the road.
However, he ignored those who cast curious expressions at him, but remembered what Yuanshi Tianzun had said to him:
'You have a poor life and the path of immortality is difficult to achieve, and you can only receive blessings from the world... After all the Cheng Tangs are gone, the Zhou Dynasty is about to prosper, and you and I will do your behalf to enthrone the gods and go down the mountain to help the wise ruler. As a general, it is not in vain that you have been practicing for forty years. This is not the place you have lived for a long time, so you can clean up and go down the mountain early.'
It was this call that made his forty years of practice go to waste. From then on, the immortal path left the Kunlun fairyland of Master, and came to a place where all living beings were ready to do the life of "supporting the wise master and becoming a general and prime minister"...
"Oh~!"
"Master's order is like this, what can I do for it..."
As he thought about it, Jiang Ziya couldn't help but sigh again. Anyway, he felt that he was not as good as a whole and looked like he was bored.
I think he was able to go to Kunlun Mountain at the age of 32 and practice Taoism under the seat of Yuanshi Tianzun. Before he knew it, he was already seventy-two years old and was already a rare life... Once upon a time, he always felt that Jiang Ziya was able to practice Taoism in Kunlun Mountain safely and had no connection with the mortal world!
However, forty years have passed quickly, things have changed, and parents have long been gone. In addition, he has no relatives at the foot of the mountain, no uncles, brothers and sisters, no younger brothers and nephews, and is now driven down from Kunlun Mountain by his master. After he has no connection with the immortal path in this life, he is asked to go there and where should he go?
So, now he is worried and doesn't know what to do...
It seems that this place is in Chentang Pass. He came to this place so far from a land escape from Kunlun Mountain. It seems that he has deviated a little from the location? Fortunately, this place is still in the Shang Dynasty, not outside the dangerous wilderness. If you take a rest here, you will definitely not have that dangerous beast monster that comes out to kill his life, and it will always make him feel much more at ease.
You should know that when he was on Kunlun Mountain, Jiang Shang mainly learned how to carry water, water pine trees, plant peaches, burn fire, fan furnaces, and alchemy. To put it bluntly, he was a hard-working disciple, and was still the kind of disciple in the test period. He was not really taught the Shangqing Taoist Dharma of the master, and other Taoist techniques were also very mediocre. If a beast or monster ran out at this time, he might not have been waiting for him to be ninety-three years old!
"Forget it! Forget it!"
"Since the master has already said, "Nine Three bows to the generals and hold military power, and ninety-eight seals the gods for another four years..." Then let's spend a while in the mundane world for twenty years..."
This year, Jiang Shang is only seventy-two years old, and he is still very young. It seems that there is still twenty-one years left before he is 93 years old to hold military power, and twenty-five years left before he can attain enlightenment and become a god. So, what he has nothing to say now is to live a good life in the ordinary world. He just needs to suppress his heart and keep his duty at the age of ninety-three.
"By the way!"
"Chaoge seems to have a brother, Song Yiren, who has been in charge for forty years. Although he has not been in contact for forty years, as long as he is not dead, he will never refuse to recognize me as a virtuous brother, because he is not going to vote for him!!"
Relying on parents at home, friends at home, and so on. Even in the Shang Dynasty, there was a market! So, Jiang Ziya thought about it and found that he really had no friends, really couldn't imagine it, and was unwilling to sleep in the wilderness. He was suffering from the wind and the invasion of beasts, so he had to turn his mind to his sworn brother Song Yiren who didn't know he had died.
Now, after being driven down the mountain, the only thing he could count on was his righteous brother Song Yiren, who was older than him, Jiang Shang! I hope he was not dead yet, otherwise, he would have really been without relatives and helpless this time, and he would have to suffer from displaced...
“?!”
"Well? What a strong and fishy demonic aura, there must be monsters at work!!"
After thinking it through, Jiang Ziya planned to identify the location and go to Chaoge, the capital of the Shang Dynasty, to defect to his sworn brother whom he had never seen in forty years!
If the other party has not died yet, he might be able to eat and drink at the other party’s house for a while until he figures out what to do or when the other party dies and is driven away again... Suddenly, he found that there seemed to be a strange noise not far from the fork in front of the pipe, and at the same time, there was a strong "pungent" demonic aura coming?!
“…”
"It's better to listen to Master, don't meddle in other people's business, keep your duty, wait for the time to move forward, and then worship generals to hold troops, and become gods and immortals?"
Jiang Ziya was a little hesitant. Knowing that he was not good at fighting, he quickly stood up from the huge rock where he rested and prepared to pick up his bags and stay away from the right and wrong place here.
“!!”
"No! As a practitioner of Taoism, how can you sit and watch the monsters make trouble and remain indifferent?!"
Originally, Jiang Ziya, who felt that his foundation was shallow and his Taoist skills were not enough, was not going to meddle in other people's business. However, after vaguely hearing the screams from afar, he couldn't help it. After thinking about it, he still gritted his teeth and pulled away the miscellaneous items and pianos from his bag, and copied out the Taoist wooden sword with the power to break evil that he didn't use when practicing Taoism on Kunlun Mountain. He just escaped and flew away in the direction where the demonic energy came!
If those monsters who cause trouble are not too powerful, he, Jiang Ziya, will kill demons and destroy demons today and eliminate harm for the people!
And if the other party is too powerful...
Cough, then he can't help! After all, he was just a hard laborer to carry water and firewood on Kunlun Mountain, and he was ruthlessly driven down the mountain before he could learn much. If he couldn't beat those monsters and had to run away, he couldn't blame him!!
‘!!’
‘I’ve fought with you monsters!’
‘Everyone goes together, don’t let them catch up with the women and children in the village!!’
‘Kill the demon!!’
‘Kill!!!’
The Shang Dynasty farmers holding manure forks made of wood, or stone axes and stone shovels, rushed forward with tools that didn't even have a piece of bronze on it, rushing towards the monsters that were tying and swallowing the bodies of the villagers who fell to death in the village!!
However……
Their efforts were destined to be futile. Although they were strong and looked powerful, the wood and the farm tools tied with stones were destined to be unable to do anything to monsters who were more powerful and faster than them by relying solely on brute force!
So, in just a moment, when a cunning wolf demon rushed into the group of brave farmers, those who were originally waving farm tools to cover each other and preparing to fight with monsters, were now covering their throats and falling directly to the ground of the village full of dust and dirt, allowing their blood to gush out, and after twitching and struggling for a few times, they stopped moving again...
"Pooh!"
"The blood of these human races is useless, but..."
After licking the blood beads on its claws, the wolf demon brutally and viciously spitted at a corpse that fell to its feet, then turned to look at a small baby, and another village woman was holding a small baby, and the other party's eyes were staring at the corpse under its feet. Obviously, the one who was killed by it just now must be some important person from the other party?
But it doesn't care about that much. It only knows that the little human being held in the other party's arms, the one who doesn't know whether it is a virgin or a virgin, is of great use to its practice. It must snatch it directly before its companions come to compete with it for food!
So, it acted, and rushed forward with lightning speed!!
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
At this time, after reacting, the young woman in her arms cried out with a bitter cry. She had only time to turn around and before she started to escape, the wolf demon who was attacking suddenly had a claw from the back of her heart. Then, she was cruelly hooked away by the other party. Her bright red beating heart was opened with anger. Her eyes were angrily opened and fell directly to the eaves of the village. The child in her hand was thrown out and fell into the haystack...
‘Wow~Wow~Wow!!’
The awakened baby had no idea what kind of tragic incident happened beside him, so he just opened his mouth and cried loudly, wanting to wait for his father or mother to comfort him...
But, unfortunately, he may never wait... and what he waited for was just a man standing, looking at most half like a human, and the exposed parts of his body were black hair like steel bristles, sharp claws and a cruel, bloodthirsty wolf-headed monster with salivation!
“Hmph…”
"It's really a great tonic. After eating him, the tenth boy, you will definitely be able to cultivate the body of enlightenment and turn into a human form!!"
The wolf demon first looked around vigilantly, drove away his companions with his fierce and vicious expression and low roar, and drove away the fox demon and the other four sea yakshas. Only then did it lick its wolf teeth with its scarlet tongue with satisfaction, and then it was about to stretch out its claws to capture its prey and swallow it in one bite!
"Aowoo~!!"
At this time, when the wolf demon wanted to see it, he could get his tenth boy and girl, suddenly, a long flame whip blew it violently, causing its steel bristle-like hair to be burned instantly, and left a long and deep mark on the back of his hand that had burned its claws red, making it unable to help but howl!
“!!”
"Who is it? Who is attacking? Get out quickly!!"
The fierce wolf demon no longer cared about the human baby who was still falling on the haystack and cried. Instead, he turned his head fiercely and looked at the place where the red whip was just thrown!
Sure enough, it first saw a little girl sitting there, shaking her feet and frowning. The leader was holding a red whip and staring at his little girl with a little unhappy feeling.
"Hmph! I saw you orcs doing bad things, you tiger-headed men and wolf-headed monsters, and the four strange-looking guys over there!!"
s(????vev???)ゞ
Little Annie must not have the concept of monsters. In her opinion, whether it is a wolf-headed man or a tiger-headed man, or the monsters over there, they are all different intelligent races in this world.
She just happened to pass by and saw this from afar...
Moreover, she originally didn't want to care about these monsters eating humans in this world, because it was just like she had to hunt certain monsters if she wanted to eat meat. It didn't seem unforgivable that the other party hunted humans, just like she never cared about lions and eagles catching rabbits?
but……
Maybe it was because things hurt their species, maybe it was because the wolf-headed monster was too cold-looking, maybe it was because she saw that child was too pitiful, or maybe she was free when she was full and wanted to do something good or burn some monsters for her to enjoy? Anyway, she finally took action! After a flash, she took a magic whip and finally saved the troubled little guy who only knew how to cry in time!
“??”
(⊙⊙)?
"Hey! What are you not good at eating, why do you want to eat people?!"
(°〼°〃)
You know, even the little bear in her family, who was said to have done everything in evil, hasn't eaten anyone in a long time.
At the beginning, the bad bear wanted to eat itself in the fossil forest of trees, but it was OK. It failed and had to turn back to the right place. It never dared to eat people casually! Of course, eating those bad guys is not counting, it just throws them into its mouth and burns them to ashes with flames.
"Hey……"
"Because, eating people can increase your cultivation, especially for boys and girls who are good at it!!"
The wolf demon, who felt that the other party should be less powerful, ran quickly on the ground with his hands and feet, and after quickly reaching a suitable distance, he rushed towards the little girl on the branch.
It felt in its angry mind that a lonely little girl who looks like her cultivation is not very good at practicing Taoism. If you are careful, it will definitely not be a problem to defeat and eat the other person! Although the other person looks white and tender, it is different from the dirty human children he has seen and eaten on weekdays, it no longer cares about thinking so much now.
Because, if its movements are not faster, when its companions rushed over, it may not be able to eat the other party in a whole, otherwise it will be very disadvantageous to it!!
“…”
(??~??)
"Ha! I finally found a reason to burn you monsters with confidence!!"
ψ(??｀▽′)?????
If the other party has to eat people in order to fill his stomach, Annie really doesn't want to care too much. After all, the world is so big, she doesn't know these people who have been eaten, and she is not a policeman or constable in this world, nor is she a clerk of Bear Shield Detective, so some other things can never be taken care of!
However, if the other party wants to eat himself, the nature will be different...
(…)
(●￣(??)￣●)
‘Aowoo!!’
A roar came with a fishy stench. A wolf demon who was eager to eat people had already tried hard to go from the ground at an extremely high speed toward Little Annie's white, tender and delicate neck!
"snort!!"
o('^??)o Humph!
Little Annie had no idea of ​​avoiding or having fun with the other party. After all, she was just passing by and just wanted to burn those few people-eating monsters as soon as possible, and then leave here quickly and go to her own interesting things so that she would not do the kind of thing saving the world in such a place!
so……
“Hey hey hey…”
??(ψ?????v????)??
It was still the flame whip, it was as if it had life. When the wolf demon opened its hideous mouth with salivation and pounced on it two meters away from Annie, it flew over and trapped the other party directly!!
‘Woooooo~!’
A mourning sound came out, and the wolf demon was tied up by a long whip of flames and fell to the ground in the burning pain, but he could not break free from it no matter what.
"Give me……"
"Burn them to death!"
??(ヽ`д′)╭?????
In any case, even if Annie doesn't want to care about it, it's always wrong to eat people. If she is caught, it will be even more wrong! After being caught by her, the other party wants to eat her, which is even more sinful! So, little Annie has decided that all the monsters in front of her must be burned!
then,
As soon as she finished speaking, the wolf demon, who was tied up by the long flame whip and was about to beg for mercy, was directly swallowed by the flame when the magical flame whip exploded. Then, in less than three seconds, several dark red charcoal-shaped embers that had broken into pieces were directly broken on the weeds covered with yellow mud...
‘!!’
‘Ao~!!’
Seeing his companion, the wolf demon died in an instant, and seeing that the magic weapon of the flame whip that seemed to be some kind of powerful fire whip attacked him like a small fire dragon. The tiger demon, who was originally considering whether to help, crawled directly and instantly turned into a giant tiger several meters tall on the ground. Then, he was smart enough to use some of its devouring magical powers to open his mouth and 'eat' the flame whip!
“Wow~!!”
o(???????????)o??
This is the first time that little Annie has discovered that someone is really desperate. She ate her whip condensed with flames?
soon,
When the tiger demon who had transformed into a giant tiger reacted and was about to spit out the enemy's strange magic weapon by it, the boundless flames were already gushing out from its huge mouth, eyes, nose, ears, navel, and even the excretion port on its lower body...
The flame, which was even more terrifying than the true fire of Samadhi, easily burned it into a red tiger-shaped high-temperature carbon object, and soon broke inch by inch, repeating the mistake of the wolf demon just now. It didn't even have time to wail and disappeared, and no longer exists in the three realms.
‘!!’
'not good!'
‘The wind is tight! Twist!!’
'run!'
Seeing that the situation seemed wrong, and seeing that the two most powerful tiger demons and wolf monsters on their side died in an instant, knowing that the enemy was not the four strange-looking monsters they could deal with, they immediately turned into four groups of water, and began to quickly break through doors and windows or pass through blocking fences, and flee towards the seaside!
Obviously, they are monsters from the sea. As for why they are mixed with tiger monsters on land, it is unknown for the time being.
Not long after, the flying flame whip quickly caught up with a ball of water droplets, and then directly snatched towards the other party!
However……
Little Annie was surprised to find that her very useful magic flame whip was just burning out waves of steam on the body of the water, and it seemed that it could not stop the other party from escaping?
“…”
(ˉ▽￣～～)Tick
"Don't think you can run away if you turn into water, don't think so!!"
??(??????~???)╭????
Annie, who was somewhat surprised that the little monster could actually turn into a water ball or water element, reached out and burned a long and high fire wall directly in the direction of the other party's escape!
‘!!’
'right!'
The four balls of water balls obviously did not dare to hit the fire wall, so they rushed to turn south and prepared to bypass the fire wall and then run back to their nests and sea!
"How could you run away?"
ψ(??｀▽′)?????
Afterwards, no one was seen as Little Annie's move. The fire wall actually started to circle and directly chased the monsters that turned into water balls and spread until they chased each other around the village, until the fire walls connected to each other, and directly surrounded them and the entire village in a large fire circle!!
Now, they finally had no way to escape!!
Sizzle!!
At this time, bursts of sizzling sounds and a large amount of white mist-like water vapor rose. It turned out that the flame whip that had just been swept away, and in a hurry, it simply turned into a ball, drilled into a ball of water, and began to burn the flames on its body, as if it was about to evaporate and kill the monster that had turned into water form and evaporate and fever.
‘Woooooo!!’
‘So hot! So hot!’
Moreover, seeing the ball of water balls that were beating and struggling and wailing desperately seemed to have a significant effect?
‘!!’
‘Quick! Jump into the pool!!’
Plop!
Finally, a certain "water polo" found that there was no hope of escaping. Seeing that his companion was about to be burned, it quickly shouted loudly and jumped to the next door of the village just a few times. It seemed to be used for water extraction or washing and bathing. It was a large pool that was more than ten feet in a radius and disappeared completely...
Plop! Plop! Plop!
Immediately afterwards, three consecutive sounds of water balls falling into the water, including the one that was being steamed by the flame whip, which had been burned to the boil, and their body size had become half smaller in a short time. They were about to be burned to death, and they all jumped into the large pool one after another.
‘!!’
Finally, it seemed that he had completely lost his target. The whip that was sizzling in the water finally jumped out of a large pool and circled over the pool for two times. After finding that he could not find the enemy, he had to turn into bits of Mars and dissipated in the mid-air in the center of the pool.
“…”
(????v??v??v???)
"You guys are useless to me like this..."
s(??'ヘ????;)ゞ
Unexpectedly, the four monsters had such a strong desire to survive, and they even played the long whip of flame that Queen Anne released, forcing the useless thing to dissipate itself. Little Anne stood up from the tree branch with a cold snorted coldly.
If the other party thinks it is completely safe to run to the pool and merge with the water into one, then it would be a big mistake!
"flame……"
??(ψ?????v????)????
Although little Annie had some ways to lock the other person and pull the other person out of the pool and burn it, in order to let the other person experience the feeling of despair, she still stretched out her little hand, grabbed a ball of shattered fire, and smiled at the pool treacherously before throwing the fireball over!
"It's my favorite toy!!"
??*????(ˊ??ˋ*)???*??
Whoosh!!
boom!!!
The fire that soared into the sky suddenly exploded, and something that the four Haiyashas who were hiding in the pool were unable to understand: the pools they regarded as amulets and hiding places were not small at all, even if there was no rain or spring water, they were at least enough for the people in the village to use the water for a year and a half, and they actually started to burn frantically, just like the fat of cattle and sheep in the oil lamp that encountered fire?
Moreover, what makes them even more terrifying is...
The water level of the entire pool was actually falling at high speed under the burning of the flames thrown by the other party. It may be that within a dozen breaths, they will be burned to death and burned to death?!
‘Give up my life!’
‘The great immortal escapes, we know we are wrong!!’
‘Give up your life!!’
‘I will never dare to do it again, so I ask the great immortal to regain the spell!!’
Soon, there were heart-wrenching calls for mercy in the fire. Obviously, the four sea yakshas were scared by the flames of Little Anne that could even burn water. Therefore, they seemed to have no other better way to survive except begging for mercy.
"snort!"
o(??^')o
However, Little Annie did not accept the surrender of the other party because she felt that burning the man-eating monsters would obviously make her happier? After all, when she discovered and came here just now, most of the people in the village had been killed by them, so now the other party's begging for mercy is definitely not accepted by her!
Besides, those bad guys and monsters can kill people if they can beat them, and beg for mercy if they can't beat them. In this world, will there be such cheap things?
‘…’
‘Wow!!!’
‘Uhhhhhhhhhh…’
Not long after, when the flames burned the bottom of the pool, when the last small handful of water and the mud were burned into glass by Anne's flames, they knew that the four strange guys who would turn into water finally let out screams one after another...
Then, there was no movement.
"Ahhh!"
??(?????????????)??
"The water in West Lake has been easily burned dry. You four little monsters want to hide in a small pond to escape. Who do you think I am?!"
??(????????)╭??
Seeing four human-eating monsters finally killed at the bottom of the pool, Little Annie naturally pointed to the place where their bodies last existed and laughed unscrupulously. She didn't care about the miserable environment in front of her, as if it was a bit inappropriate to laugh?
(Little master, be careful, there are enemies!!
?????????????????????
Although I didn't think the arrival of the sneak attack would hurt my little master, and although I felt that my little master might have noticed it, Tibers still reminded me before the attack came.)
Click!!
A drought-torn thunder fell from the sky and struck directly above Little Annie's head, and instantly followed her feet to the tree where she was standing, and even slashed the big tree so that the bark cracked and smoked...
“…”
Σ(￣д￣;)
(…)
(●￣(??)￣●;)
Obviously, Tibers' reminder just now seemed a little late? Or maybe it was because the lightning was too fast to avoid it?!
"Hao!"
"Where did the little monster come from? He dared to kill people's lives here and set fire to the village. I can't spare you!!"
Soon, an old Taoist priest with a long beard and holding a sword of Taoism from the sky, crossed the fierce fire wall outside, and slowly floated to the thatch of a house in a village that had been slaughtered.
"So many people have been killed!"
"Demon! God can surround you, I, Jiang Ziya, can't spare you!!"
After just glanced around, he found that except for a little baby who was crying on the ground, the rest of the people were brutally slaughtered. After all, Jiang Ziya stretched out his long sword in anger, pointing at the little girl in the distance who was still standing on the tree branch in a daze, as if she was seriously injured by the lightning strike just now.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ziya rushed forward quickly, but finally came one step late. He could not save the villagers here. Instead, he only saw the monster who was arrogant and proud after setting fire to the village?
“???”
∑(??△)?!
"Tibers, who is that weird guy?"
(*￣△￣*)
Accidentally, someone was slashed at the forehead with lightning for no reason. He also heard the other party say such strange things, which made Little Annie stunned.
(I don't know, I don't know, I haven't seen it before...
(●￣(??)￣●)
Even if he doesn't know his little master, how could he know where the other party came from?)
"As urgent as the law!!"
thunder!!
Jiang Ziya didn't care about the other party's situation. Anyway, he slashed at the other party with another thunder!!
"Hey? You weird old man, I'm so angry if you do this again!!"
??(??????~???)╭??
Although Annie knew that the weird guy must have misunderstood something, she would not explain too much to the other party! He could think whatever he wanted, as long as he stopped thundering himself!
Also, she had already let the other party go twice just now. If the weird old man continued to do whatever he wanted, she would be really angry!!
"Shangqing Taoism, let's go!"
Thunder in the palm!
Before the other party could react more, Jiang Ziya, who felt that the lightning method might be effective against the blonde and blue-eyed fire demon, reached out and slashed another lightning bolt towards the other party's body, preparing to kill the monster who killed and set fire on the spot!
"Wow!"
(*' mouth`)
"You guy, dare to strike me with lightning?"
??(??`^????)??
Chapter completed!
