Chapter 31: Cause and Effect
"It's you, it's you who broke the balance, it's you who killed the master!"
The little Taoist priest's accusation was full of tears, and his feelings for his master were also extremely sincere.
For the old Taoist priest to die because of his own mistakes, Yang Jiang was also extremely guilty in his heart, he never thought that because of his own small mistake, it would cause such serious consequences, looking at the little Taoist priest, his eyes were also a little guilty.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that the matter was so big, but Uncle Xi was in danger at that time, and I could only choose to take out the Gu worm eggs first."
The little Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, although he guessed that it was the Gu worm eggs taken out by Xi Muzi or Yang Jiang, but at this time, when he heard Yang Jiang personally admit that he did it, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he pulled out the peach wood sword behind him and slashed towards Yang Jiang with a sword.
Yang Jiang hurriedly dodged to the side, although this peachwood sword could not directly kill people, but with the desperate posture of the little Taoist priest at this time, it was probably not easy to take a sword.
And the little Taoist is obviously not so simple, his swordsmanship faintly has the path of the Quanzhen School, slashing left and right, sweeping and vertical picks is extremely accurate.
It was the first time for Yang Jiang to fight with a swordsmanship master, and this back and forth turned out to be almost stabbed by the other party several times, and he could be sure that as long as he was stabbed by the other party, he was afraid that he would at least be seriously injured!
"Little Taoist, calm down, if you do this again, I'm going to fight back!"
The little Taoist sneered, the news of the master's death had obviously made him almost lose his mind, ignoring Yang Jiang's threat, and continued to stab Yang Jiang in the throat with a sword.
Yang Jiang was about to dodge, but found that most of the joints of his body were unable to move, and he looked down to see that he didn't know when his limbs had been pasted with yellow talismans.
In his heart, he was careless, but the little Taoist's sword was unambiguously towards his throat, you must know that the throat is an extremely fragile part of the human body, even if it is stabbed by an ordinary wooden sword, it is very likely to hurt his life.
Just when Yang Jiang was about to recite a spell to release the control of the spell, a shadow flew over, and Xi Muzi spread his hands and stood dead in front of Yang Jiang.
When the little Taoist priest saw this scene, the peachwood sword that was still full of murderous intent immediately stopped, and the tip of the sword happened to be in contact with Xi Muzi's white and slender neck.
A drop of blood slowly flowed, Xi Muzi's eyes were closed, and she even felt the Grim Reaper pass by her.
Suddenly opened his eyes, Xi Muzi saw that the little Taoist priest had stopped, and his eyes showed a look of determination.
"What are you doing?"
The little Taoist priest was stunned, Taoism and Buddhism all pay attention to cause and effect, his master's death was indirectly caused by Yang Jiang, and the little Taoist priest had no reason to make a move on Xi Muzi.
Xi Muzi's face was calm, when Yang Jiang was in danger, she even left all her distractions behind, she only knew that if she didn't rush up, Yang Jiang would definitely die.
"What am I doing? I'm going to wake you up for your master! ”
The little Taoist priest was stunned, and Yang Jiang was also stunned, how could they have thought that Xi Muzi, who had always been gentle, would say such a thing.
"I, unfilial son?"
Xi Muzi's face was calm, and he said coldly.
"How are you not an unfilial son, it was the evil in my father's body that killed your master, you didn't ambush him, but you came to trouble us!"
Xi Muzi's words made the little Taoist a little stunned, and the whole person was standing on the spot, but what Yang Jiang didn't expect was that Xi Muzi actually opened the sword pointed at her, and stepped forward and slapped the little Taoist in the face.
"Your master has been subduing demons and demons in the township all his life, and is admired by his neighbors, but you don't distinguish between right and wrong, do you want to ruin your master's reputation, if I remember well, your master is just one of your disciples, if you kill the little craftsman, you will definitely be wanted by the police, do you want your master's inheritance to be cut off!"
Xi Muzi's words weighed as much as a thousand catties, and the words hit the little Taoist's heart.
At this time, Yang Jiang also recited the spell to lift the ban on his body, looking at the red slap print on the little Taoist's face, he always felt that his face was a little hot.
"Me, is that wrong? But it was because of his master that he was killed......"
The little Taoist priest looked blankly and looked back at the coffin in the room.
"Hmph, you stubborn guy, if your master knew that you were such a person who bullied the weak and was afraid of the hard, I'm afraid he would die blindly, if you have the ability, you can go to that thing to settle accounts!"
Yang Jiang found that although Xi Muzi looked righteous and awe-inspiring on the surface, her hands protecting her were constantly trembling, and it seemed that she was probably frightened by the almost crazy little Taoist just now.
Suddenly, the little Taoist priest sighed, and his waist, which was originally straight, immediately seemed to be paralyzed, and his face was depressed.
"Hey, thank you for waking me up."
Yang Jiang had a surprised expression on his face, this is okay!
Seeing that the little Taoist priest was no longer entangled, Yang Jiang and Xi Muzi turned around and walked towards the City God Temple, but just as they were about to walk out of the City God Temple, the little Taoist chased out with a peach wood sword.
Yang Jiang was so frightened that he hurriedly protected Xi Muzi behind him and looked at the little Taoist priest vigilantly.
The little Taoist priest smiled bitterly, hurriedly threw the peach wood sword aside, and said.
"I'm not here to fight with you, I forgot to tell you one thing, the master has figured out a way to deal with that thing before he died, he said that the thing attached to Xi Muzi's father is not a complete soul, only a part of the soul, but once Xi Muzi's father's body is completely occupied by its soul and condensed with the main soul, her father will really be powerless, so you must first destroy his main soul, so that his soul will be self-defeating."
Yang Jiang looked at the little Taoist priest and found that the other party didn't seem to be lying to them, so he said.
"But where is the main soul of this thing?"
The little Taoist priest hurriedly took out a map drawn on yellow paper from the small cloth bag he was carrying, and said.
"This is given to me by the master before he died, let me be sure to hand it over to the person who removed the Gu worm eggs from Xi Muzi's father, originally I didn't plan to give it to you, but fortunately, Muzi woke me up just now."
Yang Jiang took the yellow paper map, and looked carefully at the map of the mountain behind Xizi Village, and a point was marked on it, which must be the cave that Xi Muzi's father strayed into, that is, where the main soul of that thing was.
"Thank you, the rivers and lakes are so big, we are destined to meet again."
Yang Jiang saluted to the other party, if Xi Muzi's words woke up the little Taoist, and the little Taoist gave him the map to give him the opportunity to remedy the serious consequences caused by his own mistakes, which is quite important for people who cultivate in the future, because cause and effect are often obstacles to future cultivation, and if the little Taoist can take out this map, it means that he is willing to end this cause and effect.
