"The demonic aura is pervasive, it seems that this thousand-year-old tree demon has really done a lot of evil." Chen Kan came to Guobei County, just approached Guobei County, and noticed the demonic aura in the sky, enveloping most of Guobei County, where "Guobei County" does not only refer to the county seat, but refers to the entire territory of Guobei County.

If that's all it takes, then that's fine, after all, as a thousand-year-old dryad, it's normal to have such an momentum, and what is abnormal is that in this demonic aura, there is still resentment, which shows that the killing created by this thousand-year-old dryad is not small.

"It's self-defeating." Chen Kan sneered.

This thousand-year-old tree demon was originally because she had blessed the common people for hundreds of years, and she had great merit to produce spiritual wisdom, absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and become a goblin, and it was what she should do to greet the common people, but she looked for death by herself, and did things that harmed the world, and damaged her own merits, and when the merits were exhausted, it was the day of the death of the thousand-year-old tree demon.

In the story, a thousand-year-old demon who was powerful finally died at the hands of Yan Chixia, and it is estimated that there is a reason for this.

You say that merit is very important for monks, but does ghost cultivation have merit?

According to Chen Kan's understanding, this merit is more like something that heaven and earth bless all living beings, as long as you have done good deeds, you will have merit on your body, the so-called "good deeds", simply put, are things that help living beings survive better, such as the thousand-year-old tree demon sheltering a side of water and soil, such as helping the grandmother cross the road.

And these species have more or less merit in them, and if you kill a creature with merit, then this merit in him will react on you and become cause and effect.

To make a simple analogy by digitizing the merits, for example, the merit accumulated by the Millennium Dryad after a hundred years of good deeds is one hundred, and today he killed a person with one merit, then he has to bear the cause and effect of those beings who have been helped by this person, which is reflected in the data that the merit of the Millennium Dryad has become ninety-nine.

When a living being's merits are exhausted, then they will encounter all kinds of unpleasant things, such as choking to death when drinking water, and being stoned to death when walking...... In short, all kinds of things can happen.

As for ghost cultivation, because it is formed by the condensation of yin energy, to put it bluntly, it is inherently a scourge, because other living beings in the world more or less rely on yang energy to survive, only ghost cultivation is because of the existence of yin energy, so don't say help, not getting close is already the greatest help to sentient beings.

Therefore, it can be directly understood that ghost cultivation is an insulator of merit, just like the real world, theoretically everything needs sunlight to survive, but those fish that live below 20,000 li in the sea, they do not need sunlight, they can survive, and ghost cultivation is equivalent to those fish that do not need sunlight.

"This time I just beheaded you, an old demon, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people." Saying that, Chen Kan galloped in the direction where the demonic qi was the heaviest, which should be near Ruolan Temple.

"There are also sword qi and evil qi in the demonic qi, it seems that Yan Chixia is already here." When approaching Ruolan Temple, Chen Kan noticed a terrifying evil aura entrenched in the demonic aura of the thousand-year-old tree demon, and the two sides were faintly opposed.

Ruolan Temple, a dilapidated temple, the courtyard wall has collapsed in half, and the temple inside is still relatively intact, but rain leakage should be a normal thing, and a large piece of the roof has been lifted.

In this plane, Buddhist cultivation is still uncommon, but the number of temples is quite a lot, especially this kind of abandoned temples, and what is even more speechless is that these abandoned temples often become places where monsters are entrenched.

This makes Chen Kan really have no good impression of this group of monks, in peacetime, build temples everywhere and preach Buddhism, forget it, you protect the nearby people at a critical moment, but no, these temples are still enemies, and they have become a place where monsters are entrenched.

There is a saying that "in troubled times: monks close the door to avoid disaster, and Taoist priests go down the mountain to save people; Shengshi: The Taoist priest returned to the Qing Dynasty, and the monk opened the door to circle money. ”

Chen Kan walked into Ruolan Temple, only to see a bearded man sitting in the middle of the hall, full of evil spirits, with a sword box beside him, and a pair of big eyes just staring at Chen Kan.

"Little brother, it's better for you to leave while it's still dark." Dahan looked at Chen Kan and said.

"Why is that, can't this place be inhabited? Or is this your turf? Chen Kan asked with interest.

"There are man-eating monsters doing evil here, you'd better leave before dark, or you'll be able to see tomorrow's sun." Da Han said viciously, although his attitude was not very good, but it was obviously just to scare Chen Kan away.

"There are still monsters here, that's just right, Poor Dao knows some spells, just to eliminate harm for the people." Chen Kan said with a haha.

"You're a Taoist?" Dahan was stunned for a moment, and asked a little incredulously, because Chen Kan was wearing an ordinary robe, although he was strong, he didn't look like a person who practiced martial arts or cultivated the Tao, at least he didn't sense the aura of a monk from Chen Kan.

This proves that either this person's cultivation is stronger than him, so he can't see it, or he is a charlatan, and he can only deceive people with a few tricks.

"It's just a casual cultivation, his real name is Chen Kan, and his Taoist name is Xuanxu, I see that my brother's body is still wrapped with a demonic energy and blood, obviously he just fought with that monster, and he was injured." Chen Kan said.

As soon as Chen Kan saw Yan Chixia, he found that the aura on his body was very strange, there was the breath of Taoist cultivation and the breath of Buddhist cultivation, and then with the sword qi of sword cultivation and the evil aura of martial artists, the four breaths were mixed, which made Chen Kan quite interested in him.

"Contemptible Yan Chixia, I have seen Xuanxu Dao Chief." Yan Chixia briefly introduced herself, and then she didn't speak, obviously from Chen Kan's words, it is not difficult to know that Chen Kan is indeed a capable Taoist priest, but Yan Chixia still maintains a sense of distance from Chen Kan.

There is a hint of vigilance in this sense of distance, after all, he doesn't know Chen Kan's roots, vigilance is normal, Chen Kan is also wary of him, but it is more of an estrangement, which is strange.

In fact, this is because Yan Chixia sought Taoism everywhere back then, but was rejected by many sects, so he really didn't like Taoist priests.

"I wonder if Yan Daoyou can talk to Poor Dao about this monster? Together, you and I may be able to subdue this monster and eliminate harm for the people. Chen Kan naturally didn't know the reason, but he didn't care and asked.

Yan Chixia hesitated for a moment before she spoke: "Actually, I have only fought with that monster twice, and it is a tree demon, which is very difficult to deal with. ”
