Chapter 20: Descending the Mountain and Entering the Dynasty
Although the Taoist temple has been extremely prosperous this year, it has become old because of the age, and it has not yet had time to improve, and the Taoist chief is a little embarrassed in the face of the sudden arrival of the demon family, but the people of the demon family are all gentlemen, and they are admired by thousands of people, so they will not mind, and they will find a house to live in casually.

The candlelight in the simple room flickered, Qingmeng, the young son of the demon family, sat quietly and stared at the candlelight thoughtfully, the cold wind cut off the candlelight like a sharp sword, Qingmeng was startled, got up suddenly, drew his sword and said angrily: "What person!" Unexpectedly, a black shadow in an inconspicuous corner above his head suddenly swooped down and hit him with a palm. The next second, he collapsed in a burst of sneering, gulping out blood.
"If you are in my poisonous palm, your body will rot from the inside out like sugar cane. The soul's smile was contemptuous. "You harmful goblin, even if you die today, I will kill you first!" Qingmeng endured the pain and said with a serious face. "Demon?" "The more the soul opened its dreams, the more unhappy it became, and his voice was very cold: "Don't say as if there is anything more important than your own life, wouldn't this put the cart before the horse? If it's not profitable, how can you go to great lengths to create something out of nothing?" "Your existence is a kind of sin! This is destined by God, and we are here to drive away evil and avoid sin! We know better than you about you!" Qingmeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with an unwilling face: "And you don't know it!"
"Come on, do you think I'll be willing to take my life for such an inexplicable reason. You Soul smiled indifferently like a joke: "Why does it exist if it is a kind of sin? Since it exists, you should conform to the will of heaven, Taoism pays attention to this, isn't it? For the sake of profit, you can never put any life in your eyes, even this kind of ruthless nonsense can be spoken, but you are still pretending, you are just a group of hypocrites in my opinion, selfish, selfish, self-interested, only take money from one party to help the other, but do not forget to hang a high-sounding banner everywhere, what justice...... In fact, I don't think about anyone's feelings at all. ”
"Our people from the Demon Slayer family will come to my rescue soon. Qingmeng looked unwilling, and spoke to You Soul again in a righteous and awe-inspiring tone, and You Soul smiled calmly: "Okay, wow, they don't dare to let your young son do anything wrong anyway, so you can be my hostage for a while." Qingmeng still said unwillingly: "You are really a villain, you will disappoint your master!" Yu Soul retracted his smile, and his voice returned to coldness: "Isn't it thanks to you? ”
"Stop it, you will harm others and yourself. When the voice sounded, the soul was stunned. He said this from a man in his thirties, with kind eyebrows and a gentle voice. What stunned the soul was that the person standing next to him was the Taoist leader.
"You killed Jasper and Lu Yu, and Liu Yixian was framed by you, I know all of this. The man glanced at Yu Soul thoughtfully, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, and he sighed lightly, his voice was still so gentle: "Liu Yixian has a bad heart, so he has been retributed, but the retribution he suffered has become too serious under your hands, and next, it is time for you to bear the retribution." Don't ask me, I know that nothing can be hidden from me. Just like you think again and again that those cruel things will be forgotten over time under your concealment, and paper can't contain fire after all, in order to repay justice to the dead, there will be a day when the water will come out. ”
"I don't understand what you're saying. The soul did not change color and continued to pretend to be innocent without a beat, and looked at the Taoist: "Master, you will believe me, right, you know me best, so you should know that they framed me, I have always regarded you as a father, knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, Master, save me, help me." ”
"Enough, the demon slayer will give me an explanation, and it's not your turn to interject here. The Taoist chief obviously had dissatisfaction written on his face, and glared at Yousoul: "Don't blame me for being ruthless, if you really treat me as a father, you shouldn't have been deceiving me, let alone moving out at this time to say anything like Mo Ruo's father, okay, even if I've been blind, don't blame me for being disappointed in you, I've given you many chances, and I've always turned a blind eye to tell myself that I've thought too much, I'm confused, but I'm a twelve-year-old Taoist, and I'm only nearly thirty years old this year...... I know what I have, and it is this ability that has enabled me to make a difference at a young age, but I have chosen to avoid it again and again when faced with things about you, preferring to close off all my abilities and make myself confused...... It wasn't until the people from the Demon Slayer family came that I began to face a wave of bad premonitions and intuition again. My gut tells me that you did it. ”
"Master, okay, you can not believe anything I said before, but now, I want to tell the truth. You Soul looked at the Dao Chief seriously and continued: "For me, Master and Shushan are my everything, and I can pay any price in order to keep what I want to keep. If Master denies me from now on, if Shushan is getting farther and farther away from me, then my heart will not know where to go. This tone suddenly became much heavier. The Taoist chief's mood was also heavy, and his heart ached faintly.
"I took the Dao Master to cast spells from the skeletons of the two victims and the witch puppet respectively, so that the scene was recreated, and I saw many truths that we could not witness with our own eyes, this is the deepest spell handed down by the demon slayer family, and through the relevant objects, the scenes of the people who have come into contact with the objects can be reproduced. The man still looked calm, no anger to be seen, but he felt like a tricky character.
"Cut, what should I be, it's just a trick, and it is actually said to be the deepest spell circulated by the demon slaying family, ridiculous, the deepest spell is like this?" After a sneer, the fast changing soul looked at the Daoist again with an innocent face: "Master, you won't be deceived so easily, will you believe me?" The Dao Chief's eyes were very complicated, and the soul didn't understand, and the Dao Leader shook his head gently.
"Tricks?" the man suddenly laughed, it was a beautiful laugh, but in the eyes of the soul, it was extremely lethal. "You've cast spells on both of them, haven't you? So we've extracted the breath of the spells that remain on it, and the spells vary in color and form, and now I just need to activate the two spells you have to prove it, and you won't be able to rely on it. The man said, raising his hand as if he hadn't cast any spells, but he fixed the soul in its place, and Qingmeng took the opportunity to run to the man's side, and the man began to control the soul to perform various gestures to cast spells. Water balloon, moving objects through another space...... All kinds of spells were presented in front of the Taoist leader, and finally there were even more terrifying spells that combined those weird spells with Taoist spells.
"The next thing you should have cultivated by yourself...... It is a small matter to ruin the reputation of my Shu Mountain, the important thing is that you actually practiced this crooked evil way behind my back, do you know that the consequences of such nonsense are unimaginable, and some spells are not something you can control!" The Taoist chief stared wide, staring straight at the soul, and the next second he suddenly turned around, faintly, it was like this: "You go, leave Shu Mountain." From today onwards, you are no longer a disciple of Shushan. The moment the soul was released by the man, he fell to his knees with a "plop" sound: "Master......" This cry was so weak, but the master did not look back.
He stood up, his voice not only regained its previous coldness, but also a little ruthless, and even with a hint of ambition and frivolity: "Hmph, stubborn, rat-eyed, since even you think my existence is a sin, then please stare at your eyes and see clearly, see that I will be admired by thousands of people in a year!"
Along the way, the soul was full of worries, and he didn't dare to think about the past anymore, he was afraid that he would relent, and turn back, because he knew that there was no road behind him.
Regarding the deaths of Jasper and Lu Yu, I didn't mean to, but they did die at my hands, and I lost my friend and master...... I've been trying to live an ordinary life, hoping that nothing will happen in the future, that I can save something, that I still have my concerns, but unfortunately, now, in the end, it all came to naught...... God, why are you so ruthless...... Thinking of this, my soul felt a chill.
In the days that followed, whenever the soul passed by a place, as long as there was something strange in that place that bothered the local people, he would come forward to deal with it. Since strange good things happened everywhere the soul went, the stories about the soul from the people's mouths soon reached the ears of the emperor. Coincidentally, the emperor Song Huizong called himself "the Taoist Emperor", although he did not like to discuss the government, Taoism absolutely cherished talents, so he summoned him into the palace like a bosom friend, and out of curiosity and interest, he intended to let him deal with some trivial things to test him, and found that he really had a genius, and gave him a special official position, he could create a religion of his own, but when the emperor had something to ask him for, he must do his best to help the emperor.
So he naturally entered the court as an official. But this kind of good thing is not the end of the story, the story has just begun......
