At this time, there was an old Taoist outside the mountain gate, and as soon as the old Taoist entered the door, he shouted: "Disciple, you blame the wrong person, the hall collapsed, and it has nothing to do with these donors." ”

We followed the sound and saw another Taoist priest outside, this Taoist priest was an old Taoist priest, wearing a blue Taoist robe, with a bun on his head, pinned with a bamboo hairpin, gray hair, and a beard floating on his chest. However, compared to the old Taoist priest last night, it is indeed far behind.

He walked up to us, first made a joke, and then read, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, it's okay for all the donors." ”

I looked a little angry, we were a little angry last night, if Mao Mao didn't come to save us, we would be finished, so I stepped forward and said, "Don't read this immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, you are not worthy of the Tao, taking the guise of Taoism, and doing harmful things." ”

The little Taoist priest couldn't stand it anymore and said, "You are a bloody squirter, when have we ever hurt you?" ”

Tian Ning couldn't be angry, and said loudly: "Although you and I are the same way, but you tell lies like this, it is really infuriating, yesterday you led us in and brought us fast, so many of us are here, you still dare to quibble?" ”

Xiao Daotong couldn't stand it anymore, he was a little angry, and pointed at us and said, "Master, they, they ......"

The old Taoist priest said, "Don't speak, this may be a misunderstanding." ”

I said, "There is no misunderstanding, this matter is the collusion between the little Taoist boy and another old Taoist priest, if you don't believe it, you can call out the old Taoist priest who harmed us, and we will face each other." ”

The old Taoist priest was stunned when he heard this, and said for a while: "In this Taoist temple, there have always been only me and the disciple, how can there be anyone?" ”

I said, "Yesterday there was indeed an old Taoist priest who let us go through the tribulation." ”

After finishing speaking, I told the story again, and then everyone knew why I let everyone sit together, and the old Taoist priest listened to a trance, after he listened, he groaned and said: "I know, the old Taoist priest must have changed by the old Jiao, the Taoist priest you said is the same as what I dreamed of." ”

I said, "So, what's going on?" ”

The old Taoist priest said, "This big sun, let's go to the house and say, you listen to me explain things clearly." ”

As he spoke, he led us to the room where the little Taoist priest led me yesterday, and the old Taoist opened the house and invited us in, the house was still the furnishings of last night, but as soon as I went in today, there was a smell of sandalwood, and last night I remembered clearly that it was a fishy smell, so I said: "Something is wrong, why has the taste changed here?" Last night, I remembered that it was a fishy smell. ”

The old Taoist priest smiled and said: "That's right, the old Taoist you saw yesterday was changed by Lao Jiao, he used a blinding method, although it can change, but the smell on his body can't change." ”

I said, "I see, how about you tell me about this old Jiao?" ”

The old Taoist priest said: "Okay, this matter has to start with the ancestor, the ancestor traveled the world, came to this place, saw the old Jiao in the water to make a monster, often summon the wind and waves, for the harm of one party, sometimes in the water to see someone to the water's edge, pull people into the water to drink blood, everyone hates this old Jiao, but the old Jiao is very powerful, everyone can't help the old Jiao."

As soon as my ancestor heard that Lao Jiao had done a lot of evil, he wanted to get rid of Lao Jiao, so he single-handedly fought with Lao Jiao for hundreds of rounds, and finally my ancestor won, but it was a miserable victory. In the end, he and Lao Jiao made a mountain alliance and sea oath, and the ancestor built a hidden dragon temple here, and sent descendants to watch here, and Lao Jiao was not allowed to come out when he did not turn into a dragon.

Just the night before, I had a dream in which a Taoist man wearing an ochre robe and a purple and gold crown said to me. , he will ascend tomorrow, let us take refuge outside the Taoist temple. In this way, I led my apprentice to the village ten miles away to hide, according to this view, the old Taoist priest and the little Taoist priest you see are all changed by snake spirits. ”

I said, "What did you dream of that old way telling you?" ”

"I dreamed that the old Taoist told me that he was a dragon in the river, and that he was going to cross the calamity and ascend tomorrow, which would bring a violent storm, and he could have pulled me and my apprentices to avoid the calamity, but remembering our neighbors who had been with him for several generations, he let our master and apprentice go out and hide. That's how it happened, we weren't watching it last night, so the two people you saw were all changed by Lao Jiao. ”

Only then did we understand that all this was Lao Jiao's conspiracy, and at this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Dao Chief, Dao Chang has a big thing, something big has happened." ”

We looked out of the door, only to see a person running outside the door, wearing a hat and carrying a small basket, and ran to the house in a hurry. ”

The man took a few breaths, then bent over and held his leg and said, "Out, something is wrong, that, that old Jiao, let Lei give a thunderbolt in Baizhang Cliff." ”

It seems that Lao Jiao's tribulation failed, and the ancient opening of the world is clear for the sky, and the yin is turbid. Yin and yang are mixed, thus nurturing all things. The yin and yang of all things are relatively even, and they have evolved into humans and insects. Those who are more yang become gods, and those whose yang energy is higher than humans are transformed into mountain gods or spirit animals. Those who are in the yin turn into the void, and those who are slightly heavier in the yin qi turn into grass and trees. If yin and yang are unbalanced, the five elements will be strange, and ghosts and demons will appear. This old Jiao is yin in nature, and if it can fly into a dragon, yin and yang will begin to tendenc parallel, and if it evolves into a pure yang body, it will become a divine dragon, and after becoming a divine dragon, it will be ranked in the immortal class.

But to become a dragon, this is against the principles of heaven, so the thunder male and electric mother will come with the catastrophe, and at this time the old Jiao will experience the catastrophe, and those who can succeed can fly to the sky to become a dragon, but if they can't break through, they will be split by thunder and lightning, the sky will be burned, and the thousand-year-old Taoism will come to naught.

In fact, animals become immortals, when the catastrophe is about to come, it can be calculated, and then you have to find a way to avoid the catastrophe, because God will not harm innocent lives, so to avoid the crowd is the easiest way, as long as you avoid that hour, the catastrophe will pass, Lao Jiao pulled us to avoid the catastrophe, and wanted to find an opportunity to ascend, which had the scene of yesterday.

After the man wearing the hat finished speaking, the old Taoist priest said, "How do you know?" ”

The man with the hat said: "Because it rained yesterday, today I went up the mountain early in the morning to pick the corner skin (a kind of food, it will be the same as the fungus on a rainy day, and the rain will become bigger when it soaks. When I got to the Baizhang Cliff, I smelled a heavy fishy smell, and when I got to the cliff, I saw that the old Jiao who had become a fine man had been struck by lightning, and there were black scars burning everywhere, and I ran down to find you when I was scared. ”

After hearing this, the old Taoist priest said: "Everything is karma, this old Jiao, who was greedy for cultivation in his early years, took shortcuts, harmed people's lives, and absorbed people's essence, and only ended up like this today." ”

Luo Xihan said: "Is absorbing essence harmful? ”

The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "Yes, demons generally concentrate on cultivation in the deep mountains, and they will not go to the world at will, so there are very few people who see them." But there are also some demons who do not take the normal way of cultivation, and go to the crooked and evil way, people are a species that integrates the essence of heaven and earth, so they are born with a high yang energy, and this is also the most lacking thing when demons cultivate, so I hear from time to time that there are demons that harm human beings, which can indeed greatly improve their cultivation speed, others may cultivate for 200 years, they may eat more than a dozen people, but because there are human mages, Taoists, and Buddhists can ambush them when they meet, so it basically does not happen very often. But there is a temptation that there will always be some demons who take risks, once they are not cleared and let them cultivate to a high level of human mana, it is difficult for ordinary mages or something to get rid of them, but they will not cultivate the immortal path and eventually become a demon god, endangering one party, if God knows it, it will find its traces, and kill it with thunder and lightning. Unless they can cultivate the ability to reach the heavens, they will generally not be able to escape this catastrophe. ”

Luo Xihan nodded and said, "So that's the case, since the old Taoist elder is harmful, why don't you get rid of the old Jiao?" ”
