――――Citation――――

In ancient times, the calamity star broke through the barrier between heaven and earth, and demons took the opportunity to break into the human world. Emperor Xuanyuan led his soldiers to drive the demon army back to the demon world, but there were still many demons lurking in various parts of the human world. In later generations, there were cultivators who could kill demons and demons, and the world called them Taoists.

Volume 1 Chenwu Dokan

Chapter 1: The Mountain Spirit (I)

The alleys are dusk, the autumn wind is bleak, and the leaves are flying.

"You're a Daoxia?" a middle-aged woman narrowed her eyes at the teenager opposite. She was holding an old vegetable basket in one hand and a seven or eight-year-old girl in the other, looking like an ordinary rural peasant woman.

The girl was bright-eyed, handsome and cute, holding a cloth doll in her arms. She herself was dressed frugally, and it was wide and did not fit well, but this doll was a brocade satin dress, and it was very delicately sewn.

"Well, it's the Taoist Xia!" the young man bowed, a smile on the corner of his mouth. He was dressed in an inconspicuous blue and gray robe, his face was delicate, and he looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his generous attitude of recognition revealed a bit of sophistication.

"I shouldn't have come!" the woman frowned, a look of disappointment.

"You're already here!" the boy said lightly.

"I'm going to go now!" the woman tugged at the girl's hand, and was about to turn around.

"Since you're here, don't be in a hurry to leave!" the young man laughed: "It's not easy to find here, let's talk about why you're here!"

The woman glanced at the young man contemptuously: "There is no need for this!"

The young man smiled: "Do you look down on Ben Daoxia?"

The woman snorted coldly and turned to leave.

She had only taken a few steps when she suddenly stopped, her face distorted with surprise. Under the old tree at the mouth of the alley, there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy standing - it was the boy who called himself a Taoist hero before!

The woman immediately turned around, only to see the young man in the depths of the alley smiling at her. These two teenagers, one before and one after, are exactly the same!

"Ah!" the woman was startled, and the girl hid behind her in fear. Even twin brothers have some slight differences in appearance, but these two teenagers are really the same.

"This is a shadow clone! Cultivate your own shadow into an identical clone!" The young man in the depths of the alley said loudly: "This is one of the most brilliant Taoist techniques! There are thousands of cultivators in the world, but there are only a handful of them who can cultivate a shadow clone!"

"The more skillful the shadow clone is in cultivation, the more difficult it is to distinguish between truth and falsehood! If you can recognize the true identity clone, it can be regarded as not enough to be a chivalrous person!" the young man put his hands behind his back, his expression proud. At such a young age, he has mastered such a mastery of Dao techniques, and he is indeed worthy of pride.

The woman stepped forward in disbelief and patted the young man on the shoulder. She walked over to the boy in the depths of the alley and poked his arm with her fingers, which was quite elastic and not an illusion.

"It's not fake!" the woman was amazed. She thought for a moment, and then whispered a few words to the girl. The girl was very well-behaved, she blinked her eyes, and ran to the boy at the entrance of the alley.

Then, the mother and daughter touched the two teenagers at the same time, and they looked at each other and nodded.

"Is it all true!" the woman smacked. She looked at the two teenagers in amazement, but she couldn't tell which one was the doppelganger of the shadow changer.

The woman's face changed dramatically, from initial surprise to awe. She pleaded again and again: "Master! What a master! The woman has offended the young man before, and the young man has a lot of adults, don't blame it! Please also ask the young man to take action and save my child!"

The young man laughed: "Okay, please enter the hall to talk in detail." ”

The peasant woman dragged the stunned girl and followed the boy into an old house deep in the alley. On a dilapidated wooden board hanging by the front door of the house, the words "Chenwu Gym" are scribbled crookedly. In the house, there are only one table and a few wooden chairs, all of which are old things.

"The young man's retreat is quite miserable!" said the woman. Although this place is dilapidated and remote, she has seen the young man's clever shadow clone Dao technique before, and she doesn't dare to underestimate it anymore, but feels that this realm of pure suffering can better set off the otherworldliness of the master, not chasing fame and fortune.

When the woman sat down, she saw two young men sitting side by side in front of her, but it was still difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake. The woman said: "What an eye-opener! The folk woman is convinced, please take the magic power from the young man!"

One of the teenagers said, "There is a drawback to the shadow clone technique in the lower realm, once it is cast, it will take a few hours to retract it. ”

The woman nodded, and then asked, "I don't know what to call Daoxia Dao?"

This is the shadow clone under the bottom, in order to distinguish him, you can call him Jiang Wu. The boy replied.

"This eldest sister, I don't know what trouble you encountered?" Jiang Wu asked.

"The shadow clone can still speak!" the woman muttered, and her heart was even more respectful. She sighed and said, "It's a long story......

It turned out that she was a farmer in Zhangjia Village, north of the town, and her husband was a bamboo carpenter, and she had a son and a daughter, the eldest son was ten years old. Just a few days ago, the father and son went into the mountains to cut down bamboo, and the son was greedy for fun and ran to the depths of the bamboo forest, but he got lost and couldn't return.

Her husband searched for an hour or two before he finally found his son. The son said that he met a woman in white in the bamboo forest, and thanks to the woman pointing him in the direction, he ran out of the bamboo forest. His husband and son wanted to thank the woman in white, but after looking for a while in the bamboo forest, there was no trace, so they gave up and returned.

A few days later, something strange happened. Her son is painless during the day, but when he falls asleep at night, he has frequent nightmares. Under questioning, the son said that every time he dreamed, he dreamed of a woman in white whose face he couldn't see clearly, and kept asking him about something, but he couldn't remember it. This lasted for several days, and the son was restless and thinner because of too many nightmares, and he was getting thinner and thinner, and asking Lao Langzhong to prescribe a few pairs of medicines to no avail. The old man said that this son had probably encountered demons, not herbal medicines, so he asked her to come to the town to find a Taoist who specializes in killing demons and demons to help.

"I see!" Jiang Chen and the shadow clone Jiang Wu glanced at each other, then nodded solemnly, and said to the woman: "Evil qi enters the body, and nightmares are haunted!

"I wonder what kind of demon it is?" asked the woman.

Jiang Chen said: "This is not sure yet. In the deep mountains, the yin and evil aura gathers, and it is not surprising that there are occasional demons and monsters. But don't worry, eldest sister, as long as Ben Daoxia makes a move, everything can be solved!"

When the woman saw that Jiang Chen was full of grasp, she was immediately overjoyed. She said repeatedly: "Then please ask Jiang Shaoxia to make a move, the women are grateful!"

"We cultivators can't cut off the dust and fireworks, and there are still a lot of expenses for cultivation, so we have to charge a certain fee every time we take action to get rid of evil spirits. Jiang Chen said, stretching out two fingers: "Two hundred Wen!"

"So much!" said the woman, "the folk woman only earns fifty wen from selling vegetables today. ”

Jiang Chen shook his head again and again: "The so-called bell must be tied to the bell person, this time to fundamentally solve the problem of Lang Lang's evil qi entering the body, you must go deep into the mountains to find the white-clothed banshee, and eliminate her resentment, in order to resolve the nightmare." Not only does it take time and effort, but there are also a lot of dangers, and 200 wen is already the lowest price. ”

The woman pleaded, "The women of the people are poor, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to scrape together two hundred dollars for a while." One more day of waiting, one more day of suffering. It's better to ask the young man to kill the demon first, and then the woman will settle the fee in the future. ”

"No!" Jiang Chen was resolute: "It is difficult to have actual evidence for the things of demons and monsters, and it is not uncommon to regret the debts in the future!"

"But ......" Jiang Wu frowned slightly, as if he had something to say. Jiang Chen hurriedly touched Jiang Wu's shoulder, and Jiang Wu didn't say anything more.

"I'm sorry, the shadow clone of this Dao Xia is still flawed in his cultivation, and he occasionally talks nonsense!" Jiang Chen explained with a smile.

The woman persuaded a few more words, but Jiang Chen refused to let go. When he saw that most of the women had really not brought enough coins, he asked her to come back another day.

The woman had no choice but to go out and leave. After walking out of the courtyard gate, the little girl suddenly broke free from the woman's hand and offered the doll in her arms to Jiang Wu: "Big brother, this is my favorite rag doll, please help save my brother, he is scared to cry every night in his dreams, and he doesn't dare to sleep." ”

Jiang Wu gently touched the girl's head, and said softly: "Have you figured it out? This doll is not cheap, you must have begged your parents many times to let them buy it for you, just now you have been holding it tightly, which shows your love for it." Are you really willing to trade it for your brother not having nightmares?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Well, when my brother recovers, maybe he will help me make another one." ”

"Okay then!" Jiang Wu smiled slightly, and he said to the woman: "This commission, we have taken it from the Chenwu Dao Pavilion, and we will go to the deep mountain bamboo forest early tomorrow morning to eliminate the demons." ”

The woman was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out fifty yuan and handed it to Jiang Chen along with the doll. Jiang Chen sighed and agreed to the commission.

After the woman's mother and daughter left, Jiang Chen sighed: "This doll can only be sold for twenty or thirty yuan at most, and I finally had a commission, but I didn't make much money this time!"

Jiang Wu said: "Slaying demons and destroying demons is originally a matter of Taoist heroes! Besides, there is something wrong with you and my brothers fooling the people with the 'doppelganger technique'!"

As Jiang Wu spoke, he took out a three-inch square and somewhat yellowed rune paper from his arms. After that, a faint aura flashed on his body. The aura was fleeting, and his appearance and clothes changed greatly, and his body shape was about the same.

At this time, although Jiang Wu and Jiang Chen also looked similar to Jiang Chen between their eyebrows, they were obviously not exactly the same. He is one or two years younger than Jiang Chen, and he wears a tight-fitting Taoist coat like a person who practices martial arts. His eyes were firm, but his smile was very gentle and kind. Judging from his clothes, Jiang Chen is more like a scholar, and when the brothers stand together, they are one scholar and one martial artist.

Jiang Wu carefully put away the rune paper and put it into a wooden box.

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly: "I don't want to always rely on this illusion talisman to pretend to be a ghost, but not everyone believes in the Taoist legend, if you don't make some fancy things, how can people believe that you and I can kill demons and demons?

Jiang Wu nodded, sighed, and changed the topic: "Brother, you have always had a good memory, have you noticed the girl's clothes?"

Jiang Chen closed his eyes and groaned slightly, and then said: "Her shoes and pants are very worn, only the upper body is fine." But it was a boy's dress, obviously loose, and the clothes were quite new, except for a broken hole with patches, which should have been her brother's clothes. ”

"Exactly!" Jiang Wu said, "According to her brother's age, this dress fits just right, and it is a new dress that has not been worn for a long time. Just because there is a patch, he transferred it to his sister to wear, and most of them have new clothes, which shows that the family is patriarchal. Patriarchy is not unusual, but I also found that the girl had several shallow slender scars on her forehead and hair, presumably from a broken fingernail. The scars are not like the parents who have been taught, but more like the children who have frolicked and frolicked. I guess it was probably her brother who scratched her. ”

In short, this girl's family is patriarchal, she herself is not very valued by her parents, and she is often bullied by her pampered brother. Only this doll is her best friend. In order to 'heal' her brother's illness, she actually took the initiative to hand over the doll, which is commendable! That mountain spirit actually bullied a child from a mountain village, which is really hateful. Since we have opened a dojo, we cannot sit idly by. ”

Jiang Chen nodded: "You have always been soft-hearted, and you agreed to come down without discussing it with me." In fact, this commission is not easy to solve!"

"What? Is it a very powerful demon?" Jiang Wu hurriedly asked.

Jiang Chen said: "According to the woman's words, the white-clothed banshee that the child encountered in the bamboo forest should be a mountain spirit with accumulated resentment. The child has frequent nightmares due to resentment. Seven or eight days have passed, and the child still has nightmares, which shows that the mountain spirit is very resentful. If it is a mountain spirit that is more than 100 years old, it will be difficult to deal with! It is recorded in the "Ten Thousand Demon Spectrum" that a 100-year-old mountain spirit is difficult for ordinary Taoist disciples to match alone. I don't know the Fa, and I'm afraid it's a bit risky to rely on you alone. ”
