Chapter 9: What do you want Ling'er to do?
The mature and steady voice disturbed the Taoist's sleep, and a middle-aged monk came to the shore with a purple wooden cane. Huoyun Dao people opened their eyes lazily, and when they saw that the people who came did not get up, they held their hands and leaned their backs against the willow trees.
"What kind of wind blew the bald man of the imperial city here?" "Huoyun Dao people are old acquaintances with this monk, "The Grand Master of Jiangliu has a noble status, and he came to this southern town alone, what is the so-called matter?"
Monk Jiangliu looked at the ten-mile lotus pond, walked to the side of the Taoist, and said: "The period when the Zhuo Niu demon soul dissipates is not far away, and the little monk is about to go to Sushan Pagoda Temple to check whether the seal is intact. Passing by here, I felt a trace of fire spirit, so I came here to check, it turned out that the head of the Fire Cloud Road was resting here. ”
"It seems that I was snooze, and I didn't know how to restrain myself in my sleep, and I vented my anger. Huoyun got up, patted the dust on his buttocks, and said: "Now that the imperial power is in charge, the Buddha is heavy and the Tao is light, and the bald people are wrapped in Dharma clothes, and the Zen staff is in their hands, and they are admired by all the people," he glanced at his tattered outfit again, "It's like our Taoist family, and I haven't seen anyone in bright clothes when I travel all over the world." ”
"The two schools of Buddhism and Taoism are both cultivators, so why care about food and clothing. ”
Huoyun didn't answer, looked Jiang Liu up and down, thought for a moment, and then said: "My Taoist emphasizes the root, Buddhism cultivates fate, if you can meet me, it is the fate of Buddhism, do you say what I said is right?"
"It's fate," Jiang Liu seemed to hear that the other party had something to ask for, so he said: "If the Taoist chief has any difficulties, the little monk will try his best to help." ”
"Thank you," Huoyun pointed to the surface of the water and said, "Under this seemingly quiet and leisurely lotus pond, among the water and grass, there are sleeping souls, and I am here for the souls in this river." ”
"I don't know what the relationship between the unjust soul in this river and the Taoist chief is?"
"What's the fate with me! It's my senior brother who has a lot of troubles, and it's also a lot of trouble to take in an apprentice, and his partial cultivation is shallow, so he can't get through this unjust soul. He shook the wine gourd, tilted his head and poured out the only few drops of wine, sipped it with his mouth, and said: "This lotus pond soul has been dead for a year, and the body is corrupted, but this is not difficult to deal with, just use a spiritually compatible object to make a physical body, but the difficulty is to lose the dream soul, even if you cross to reincarnation, you will be a demented person in the next life." I have to do things soundly in Huoyun Dao, and since I have agreed, I will find the dream soul of the deceased and send it to reincarnation after completing the book. ”
"The Taoist chief is kind-hearted, and the little monk is obedient," Jiang Liu said with one hand, "I don't know what the little monk is?"
"There are three souls and six souls in life, how can they be missing, I'm afraid that there are monsters to blame. When I first came here the day before yesterday, I noticed that there was a demonic leak in the southwest," he pointed along the lotus pond into the distance, and on the distant hill, there were faint eaves and bricks, which was the new house of Huang Lang.
Jiang Liu looked at it, and then stopped to look at it again, and indeed saw a trace of anger coming out of the top of the spacious garden. "Sure enough, there is a monster, and the Taoist can fight with that demon. ”
"I'm ashamed," Huoyun sighed, "That master is not an ordinary person, and his servants can even break my Dao Law." Before I saw the demon, I was beaten out by the master of the house. ”
The afterglow of the sunset, the pavilions and pavilions, the golden sunset shines on the Juxian Tower, bringing a touch of peace here. Juxian Lou closed before the sun set, and a few graceful maids embedded the door panels, pulled down the curtains, cleaned the store again, and cleaned up the tables, chairs and benches, before they breathed a sigh of relief. They took off their coats, took on their human appearances, and grew thin wings on their backs, showing their bewitching faces, and slowly flew to the backyard.
In the backyard, a group of banshees from Juxian Building have gathered, floating scattered at the moment, standing, lying on their stomachs, all in a bewitching posture. A few moth demons swirled around the lights of the eaves, and the mosquito demons were lying on the wall...... On the big tree in the middle of the courtyard, the Fengqi Palace Lord fell lightly and sat on a leaf with bent legs. The butterfly demon phoenix butterfly broke away from Li Zhiqing's body and also came here, standing under the tree at the moment, as if waiting for the palace master's order.
"In another month, the injuries of this palace will heal," the Fengqi Palace Lord said, "At that time, we can go back to the Dragon Underground Palace, slaughter that old beast, and regain the position of the demon king of my southern realm." But at the moment, a monk came to this river town, which was a threat to the palace. ”
"Don't worry about the palace master," Feng Die said: "When we first came, we built the Juxian Tower, which was built according to the four wildernesses and eight places, and the palace master also scattered the demon stone crystals on the eight positions, and we restrained our breath, and the monk couldn't find our demon energy." ”
"Don't underestimate the enemy," the Fengqi Palace Lord said: "This monk is from the imperial city, and his legal name is Jiangliu. ”
Hearing this, all the demons talked about it, and there was an uproar. Among them, except for a few little demons who didn't know the name of Jiangliu, the rest of the demons had heard of Master Jiangliu and Monk Sushan. Ten years ago, Su Shan was shrouded in a strong demonic aura, and it was Zhuo Niu, a celestial insect in the demon world in the southern realm, who was famous for its ferocity, that stopped at Su Mountain. At that time, Jiang Liu was a wandering monk on Su Mountain, holding a purple wooden staff to fight Zhuo Niu, destroying his demon body, and building a pagoda to suppress Zhuo Niu's demon soul. Jiang Liu was also appreciated by the national teacher because of the merits of sealing Zhuo Niu, and was summoned to Chang'an to become a mage of the imperial city.
"Ran'er," Feng Qi summoned the moth demon Ah Ran to his side, "What crime should you be guilty of going to Huang Lang to be a female chef without permission, leaking demonic energy, and revealing the traces of this palace?" Her voice was gentle, but the chill in it made people tremble.
Ah Ran immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "The palace master spares his life, and his subordinates are ordered by the young palace master to go to Fangshan Villa to cook for Huang Lang." ”
The Fengqi Palace Lord turned his eyes to Feng Die, "Daughter, you have put me in danger. ”
The phoenix butterfly fell from the tree and knelt on the ground, "Palace Master, I didn't go against your will. You once said that if Huang Lang could provide you with blood every month, the girl from Juxian Mansion would let him choose. That day, Huang Lang took me to Juxian Lou for dinner, and when he saw that I liked the dishes made by Ah Ran, he invited Ah Ran to the other garden to cook for me. ”
"Hmph, this Huang Lang is quite infatuated," she grinned, and then sighed again: "But it's not for you, it's for that skin." She waved her hand again, "Get up, this is unexpected, I don't blame you." Now, we have to deal with the Jiangliu monks. ”
"Palace Master," Wen Niang asked, "but do you want to kill that monk?"
"The little monk of Jiangliu can seal Zhuo Niu, and his mana is not bad," the Fengqi Palace Lord snorted, "Wen Niang, with your ability, you are not the opponent of the little monk." ”
Several goblins came to Wen Niang's side together, asking for orders to go with Wen Niang, but the Fengqi Palace Master still disagreed, she thought for a moment, and said: "As soon as you rush up, the little monk will naturally die, but as soon as the little monk of Jiangliu dies, the mages of the Imperial City will be dispatched in large numbers to investigate what is going on, and when the time comes, we will not be able to deal with it!" She turned over, fell from the leaves, fell to the side of the phoenix butterfly, reached out and touched the phoenix butterfly's face, and said, " If Monk Jiangliu does not die, when he finds out about us, he will still have to report to the Imperial City, so he has to die. Her sleeves slid lightly over the heads of several banshees on the ground, and came to the side of her personal maid, Jingling.
In addition to the phoenix butterfly, Jingling is the most beloved little demon of the Fengqi Palace Master. Jingling was originally a green dragonfly on the lotus pond, collecting lotus dew at sunrise and sunset every day, and was turned into a demon by the master of Fengqi Palace ten years ago. The Fengqi Palace Lord relies on the blood lotus leaf porridge to heal and recover his vitality, and needs the blood of a strong man and the aura of the lotus flower in the lotus pond of ten miles, and this Jingling is the goblin who collects the lotus aura for the Fengqi Palace Lord every month.
"Palace Master," Jingling asked, "what do you want Ling'er to do?"
