The Taoist priest did not kill them all, and the final treatment of the clay puppet was able to slightly ease Xu Wenshan's conscience.

The Taoist priest tattooed a few talismans on the clay puppet of the temple girl's real body, and told Xu Wenshan that these are a few pure heart and righteous talismans, which can suppress evil thoughts, and at least for ten years, this monster will no longer transform into a harmful person.

Later, it was rumored in the ditch that the clay puppet of the land lady in the Luze Temple was missing, and Xu Wenshan knew that this demon was the clay puppet in that temple. The Taoist priest asked Xu Changshui to donate money to renovate the land temple, and asked the people in the house to invite the clay puppets back to the temple again.

The pomp and circumstance of sending the gods is very large, although it took Xu Changshui a lot of money, but because of this incident, Xu Changshui's prestige in the entire Luhegou has increased sharply, just this year is a big harvest year, Luhegou has collected a full hoard of grain, all say that it is the good man Xu Changshui got the favor of the land Niangniang, the land Niangniang visited Xufu at night, saying that Xu Changshui accumulated virtue and did good deeds day by day, and won the favor of heaven, so he was given this big harvest year. Taking advantage of this momentum, Xu Changshui won a lot of land, not only earning back the cost of sending the gods to repair the temple, but also earning fame and land.

So Xu Changshui often sighed: "This Taoist priest is really a noble man of my family!" ”

The Taoist priest's surname is Zhang, and the common name is Zhang Sanfeng. This Sanfeng Taoist is not from Wudang, but a Taoist from Wuji Mountain's Yixiu Peak Zhenyuanguan, and now he is going down the mountain to make a few merits and give some prestige to the Taoist temple.

Xu Wenshan's world view has also undergone subversive changes, clay puppets, stone statues crying, these are all Xu Wenshan saw and experienced with his own eyes, from then on, Xu Wenshan no longer dared to say that demons do not exist.

It's no wonder that Xu Wenshan is so big, and the people around him, whether they are wise or stupid, believe in the existence of demons. The clay puppets in this roadside temple can become essences, and it seems that there are many monsters in this world, no wonder the villagers believe that there are demons, because they have all seen them in the real world, and they are not the tricks of liars.

After this incident, Xu Wenshan felt more and more that he needed to become stronger.

This time it's a temple girl.,Next time maybe it's a house ghost.,Next time it's a painted skin.,It's a blood corpse.。 Again and again, as long as you don't have the strength, you will be unbearable to these monsters.

In this world where monsters are rampant, only if you are strong enough can you hold your destiny in your hands.

After thinking about it, Xu Wenshan still put the first hope of becoming stronger on the Sanfeng Taoist priest.

When Xu Changshui was preparing to send off the gods, Xu Wenshan went to find the Sanfeng Daoist alone.

The Taoist priest was received as a guest, and he was served with good food and drink every day, but the tattered clothes on his body had not been changed, and the Taoist priest lived in the West Chamber, picking out the things in his bag one by one, and actually piled up in the house. The Taoist priest explained that this was a small Taoist technique that was as light as a feather, and it was just a simple little trick.

The little tricks are so miraculous, and they have strengthened Xu Wenshan's belief in cultivation.

"Sir." Xu Wenshan stood respectfully in front of the Taoist priest.

"What's the doubt about the little benefactor?" The Taoist priest said with a pleasant face.

"Excuse me, sir, how big is the world?"

Xu Wenshan was very serious, but the Taoist priest smiled dumbly.

"The world is so big that we mortals dare not speak falsely. All I know is that three thousand miles to the east is the Endless Sea, two thousand miles to the west is the Infinite Mountain, three thousand miles to the north is the wasteland, and three thousand miles to the south is the rainforest. I don't know what is at the end of the sea, what is on the other side of the mountain, where we walk through the wasteland, where we cross the rainforest. ”

Xu Wenshan listened secretly, this measurement is three thousand miles and two thousand miles at every turn, which is much larger than the earth. If what the Taoist priest said is correct, then this is definitely not the earth.

Xu Wenshan asked again: "Excuse me, sir, how many countries are there in the world?" ”

The Taoist priest smiled and replied: "There are a total of 16 countries in the world, the alliance of the five countries in the east, the alliance of the three countries in the west, the dominance of one country in the north, and the seven countries in the south compete for hegemony. Luhegou should be at the junction of Chen and Cai in the Southern Seven Kingdoms. ”

Xu Wenshan had a general understanding of the general trend of the world, and asked:

"Sir, the world says that when you reach the peak of cultivation, you can call the wind and rain, soar during the day, cross the galaxy, and shatter the void, is it true?"

The Taoist priest replied, "For thousands of years, how many people have been able to cultivate into immortals?" In today's world, the person who cultivates at the peak can only raise his hands to reclaim mountains and cross yin and yang. ”

Xu Wenshan was dumbfounded, isn't it good to be able to reclaim mountains and cross yin and yang? This Taoist priest actually said that it was "but only"?

However, the cultivation in the mouth of the Taoist priest is still different from the cultivation of immortals in Xu Wenshan's imagination, the cultivation in this world is either the practice of Buddhism or Taoism, and although it can also achieve positive results in the end, it is very different from the practice in the novel of cultivating immortals.

Excited, Xu Wenshan asked, "Sir, can I practice?" ”

To Xu Wenshan's surprise, this time the Taoist priest's answer was very simple: "No." ”

"Your essence has been discharged, and you can't withstand the pain caused by the Daomen Exercises, and if you forcibly practice, you will be crippled at least and die at worst."

Although Xu Wenshan was ready for failure, he still couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.

"Really, can't?"

"I really can't."

"Sure enough?"

"Sure enough, it can't."

"Sir, can you think of a way?" Xu Wenshan's tone was already a little pleading.

The Taoist priest shook his head and said, "I can't think about it." Cultivation is not something that everyone can set foot in, there are three thousand avenues, and there are countless seekers, how many can really get a glimpse of the way? You have no talent for the way. I see that you are born with a yin bone, but ...... Forget it. ”

"Born with a pubic bone?" Xu Wenshan asked. "What is the natural pubic bone?"

The Taoist priest shook his head, no matter how Xu Wenshan asked, he didn't answer, and finally said with a smile: "You don't have to be frustrated, there are other ways to improve your strength." ”

Xu Wenshan's heart moved: "What other ways can I improve?" ”

The Taoist priest said, "Although you can't cultivate the Tao, if you can persist in practicing mortal martial arts, it will be enough to protect yourself." ”

Xu Wenshan smiled bitterly: "It's mortal martial arts, and I have nowhere to look for it." ”

The Taoist priest shook off the dust and said, "Poor scholars, rich martial arts, your family is so rich, what martial arts can't be learned?" ”

Xu Wenshan's eyes lit up, and after thanking the Taoist priest for his guidance, he turned around and asked his little servant to go everywhere to search for martial arts scholars or martial arts classics. The Taoist priest mentioned the "natural yin bones", and he ignored and remembered it.

It's a month in a flash. After a month passed, the little guys who were sent to various places brought back to Xu Wenshan were only disappointed.

The little guys are really conscientious in their duties, but out of vision and level limitations, the martial arts classics they brought back are all big road goods sold on the stalls, what "Black Tiger Fist", "Kaishan Stick", "God Hand Decision", the name sounds majestic, but you can open it and take a look, or some unbearable routines, or some Shen Taoist whispers, Xu Wenshan studied it, and finally found that it was a waste of time.

To put it bluntly, the improvement of these martial arts on actual combat is not as strong as the effect of insisting on exercising broadcast gymnastics every day, at least broadcast gymnastics can also strengthen the body.

As for the "master" who invited back, it was even more spitting. A small servant brought back a beggar and said that the beggar could kill a tiger with his bare hands.

Xu Wenshan was overjoyed at first and took the beggar to live at home, but after a few days, he found that something was wrong. Whenever this beggar asked him to show his skills, he pushed back and forth, and finally reluctantly made a move, but he only waved it empty, and he couldn't see any meaning.

Xu Wenshan thought that this beggar's martial arts were clumsy, and finally he had the courage to let a nurse challenge the beggar, and knocked the beggar to the ground with three punches and two kicks.

Repeated failures made Xu Wenshan a little discouraged, did he really have no way to become stronger?

Every time he saw Xu Wenshan making all kinds of efforts to become stronger, the Taoist priest's brows always frowned slightly.

Unknowingly, the Taoist priest had been living in Xu's house for three months. One day three months later, Xu Changshui suddenly found that the Taoist priest was missing.

Sanfeng Daoist said goodbye without saying goodbye, leaving only a letter and a book for Xu Wenshan.

That book is the Book of Prophecies, and the Book of Prophecies is mainly about mountain spirits and monsters, demons and spirits, ghosts, evil arts, thaumaturgy, secret arts, and some strange flowers and demon plants. The letter said that after reading this book, you can recognize most of the monsters in the world, and you can also guard against some harmful evil arts. said that as long as you memorize this book, you will be able to guard against all monsters and evil arts, and you will be able to spend your old age in peace in the future.

After reading the letter and the book, Xu Wenshan sighed that Sanfeng Daoist was really a good person with a warm heart, and secretly regretted that he did not have a good life to say goodbye to him, and he might never have the opportunity to see this stranger in the future.
