Chapter 37: Witnessing Evil Deeds
There are several hundred-year-old trees in the forest, and there are several pavilions built around it.
It's just that there is no one in the pavilion now, but at the front of the hundred-year-old trees, there is a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe, now carrying an obviously exhausted snake spirit, leaning over to do something.
Of course, I can't be naΓ―ve enough to think that something had happened to this snake spirit, and that the Taoist priest was kind enough to do artificial respiration for it.
I'm afraid that only a three-year-old child would believe this kind of thing.
Now that the Taoist priest grabbed the body of the snake demon, his shoulders kept trembling, and the demonic energy on the snake spirit was getting weaker and weaker, if he didn't feel it carefully, he was afraid that he would think it was his own illusion.
What the hell is going on? My heart slowly sank, and I always felt a little uneasy.
But he couldn't help his curiosity, and looked around carefully, for fear that his existence would be discovered by the Taoist priest.
After a long while, the priest slowly straightened up. He threw the dead snake spirit in his hand to the ground casually, reached out and wiped his mouth.
When he turned around, I saw that familiar face and almost screamed.
That face is clearly the Li Haibo I only saw a few days ago! I was so impressed by his rosacea that he was now touching his nose and arranging his robe.
Now my mind is getting more and more confused, I don't understand why this Li Haibo is here, why he is holding that snake spirit, and what he did to that snake spirit just now!
Li Haibo is now stretching his body contentedly, breathing, and his face is becoming more and more satisfied.
I took out a white porcelain bottle from my sleeve pocket, poured a pill out of it, threw it directly into my mouth, and watched his movements, I realized that the stench that had brought me over just now gradually dissipated, and now all I could smell was the fragrance of the trees in the forest.
If I wasn't so sure that I didn't feel wrong, I was afraid that I would have thought that the smell that brought me here just now was my own imagination!
Seeing Li Haibo bow his head and begin to inspect the corpse of the snake spirit, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and suddenly the words that Master had said before flashed.
"When this spirit is cultivating, in order to save trouble, it will suck people's yang energy, life, and desires to wish themselves to practice, in fact, not only them, but even some cultivators, in order to speed up their own cultivation, will also find another way to capture those spirits who have already cultivated and formed, so as to suck their Taoism."
When Master said this, he was still drawing the rune paper in his hand, and I was next to me at the time, and I was still listening to it in a fog, and I always felt a little ridiculous.
How is this possible? It is not easy for spirits to cultivate, and the cultivation speed after opening the spiritual root is far inferior to that of humans, even if they suck their Taoism, it is useless.
When I asked, Master smiled and didn't speak, but looked at me with some meaning.
Now I realize that the cultivation of sucking one spirit may not be much, but what if it is ten, a hundred?
Then through the Dao that those spirits have accumulated, you will reach a terrifying stage.
Could it be... This Li Haibo is also using the same way, right?
This guess flashed through my mind, so fast that I could barely catch it, and seeing that Li Haibo was still flipping the snake spirit's body, I suddenly felt a sticky vomit in my heart.
It's no wonder that these orthodox people even want to catch the spirits who have not done evil, it turns out that these people, from the beginning, did not want to defend the people for the way of heaven, but for the sake of the Tao of these spirits, and wanted to take their efforts for themselves!
My throat suddenly dried up, and a pain began to spread from my throat.
What I have discovered now has broken my previous perception of Taoist priests, and I can't help but start to wonder what is true and what is false in this Taoist association.
Li Haibo has signs of activity again, and I feel a pang in my heart, I am still in this association, and if I am not careful, I will become a fish on the chopping board, and the top priority at the moment is to leave quickly!
I quickly pinched my knack and cautiously left the way I came, but what I didn't know was that not long after I left, Li Haibo walked towards the place where I had just stayed.
Li Haibo, who had just sucked the essence of a snake, was now in a good mood, and he swept away the unhappiness of being lost face in the first few days, and his steps were brisk.
Passing by a big tree, he suddenly stopped, swept around the big tree with a pair of small eyes, sniffed again, and the expression on his face gradually sank.
"Someone just used the Concealment Charm here! , who's peeking here? β
Li Haibo shouted in a low voice, instantly turned into a state of alert, and glanced around, with a faint wind surging in his hands.
After a long time, he gritted his teeth and ran quickly to the other side.
No, someone may find out about this, and they have to tell the Taoist leader quickly!
I hurried all the way back to the study, closed the window carefully, smoothed out the position where I was sitting, and made sure that there were no traces, and then I pulled a few more books and left the study in a daze.
As for what I saw, it was like a bolt from the blue to me.
I originally thought that although the Taoist priests in the Taoist Association were a little extreme in terms of good and evil, they were righteous in their actions.
The scene of Li Haibo sucking the essence of the snake kept flashing in my mind, and at night, even if I listened to Xu Youqiang's witty words, I couldn't divert my attention.
Xu Youqiang may have noticed that something was wrong with me, so he simply returned to the wing room with me after dinner.
As soon as the door was closed, he hurriedly walked towards me: "Li Sheng, what's wrong with you?" You have been absent-minded since I came back, did someone make things difficult for you when I was away? β
Xu Youqiang's face was nervous, and I shook my head bitterly, because what I found was so shocking that I didn't know how to speak for a while.
It's no wonder that when I met Li Haibo that day, I felt that something was wrong with him, but now it seems that my feelings are not wrong.
This Li Haibo is not practicing the orthodox Taoism at all, but relying on unearned gains and forcible grabbing!
I raised my head, looked at Xu Youqiang, and brewed in my heart before I slowly spoke.
"Qiangzi, when I met Li Haibo in the main hall that day, I felt that something was wrong, do you want to know what was wrong?"
I deliberately sold it, Xu Youqiang shook his head at me with a blank face, and said coldly: "Is it the smell of fox on his body?" I said that Li Haibo doesn't like to take a bath, and there is always a fox smell on his body, and others don't believe it. β
"I didn't notice that the fox stinks." I whispered, pretending to wave at him mysteriously, and after Xu came back again, I said, "It's just that I found out that there seems to be a demonic aura on his body that day, and that demonic aura is not light, don't you feel it?" β
