Chapter 74: Swearing
The so-called Murphy's Law is that when you have a hunch that something bad is happening, then something special will happen.
Dao Ran also thought that Bai Suzhen would be able to kill the Taoist priest for seconds, and the matter would be solved perfectly.
As a result, when Daoran walked into the depths of the cave, he saw that Bai Suzhen had already appeared in the form of a huge white snake, staring at the front with a pair of ruby-like eyes.
The stone Zen Taoist who had just been turned into a dog was lying in a layer of misty blue light, and the horror on his face had not yet faded. Dao Ran noticed that this layer of blue light was connected to the dense rune seal carvings around the cave, but the core still came from the small green snake in the center.
This is undoubtedly Xiao Qing, just looking at her state, it seems to be very bad, the scales are full of cracks, and the blood is constantly oozing out, and then it is absorbed by the formation and turned into this layer of blue light.
Obviously, Bai Suzhen failed to catch up with Shi Chan Daoist, allowing him to activate this formation at the last moment.
"This formation, can't be broken?" Daoran asked in a low voice.
"If I shoot with all my strength, I can break the formation without a three-in-one, but the core of the formation is Xiaoqing, if I break the formation, she will definitely die." Bai Suzhen said.
Shi Chan Dao people ran too fast, and the distance of this formation was too close.
Although Bai Suzhen had tried her best to catch up, when she almost caught the Shi Chan Daoist, the formation was activated.
This thin layer of blue light can't stop Bai Suzhen's light blow, but Xiaoqing will also die with Shi Chan Daoren.
Daoran didn't ask for details, whether Bai Suzhen was negligent or too cautious, it was useless to say that it was so far.
Dao Ran walked up to Qingguang and asked, "Why don't we talk?" ”
Shi Chan Taoist said angrily: "You thief bald, what are you talking about killing demons and destroying demons, it turns out that you yourself are also with demons, you are here for this snake demon at all!" I'm going to make an announcement to the world so that everyone knows who you really are! ”
Shi Chan Dao was crazy, he knew that this was the case, he should have used this snake demon to threaten Dao Ran from the beginning, and the talisman on his body would not be destroyed, and he would not be seriously injured.
"Amitabha, I originally wanted to let you live, but since you found out, the little monk can only kill people." Dao Ran said, raising his electric fist.
Shi Chan Daoist was so shocked that his eyes were about to bulge, and he said loudly: "Wait, if you want to do it, this snake demon will definitely die!" ”
"There's no way, the little monk is a greedy and afraid of death with demons, you have to tell this secret to the world, then the little monk can only kill you. As for this little young girl, in fact, I don't know her well, so I can't save her. Daoran said.
Fuck the fuck! Unfamiliar with how to take such a big risk to save people? Shi Chan Daoist didn't believe it at all, but Dao Ran's expression was impeccable, the key was that he really condensed Zixiao Divine Thunder and blasted over with a punch.
The blue light collided with the purple lightning, and a large crack burst out, and the unconscious Xiaoqing had a few more scars on his body.
Seeing that Dao Ran's expression did not change, Shi Chan Daoist turned his head to look at the white snake, although his body trembled slightly, he did not intercept it.
It's over, it really seems like it's going to die.
This little thief is so ruthless, he really does anything for the sake of his reputation.
"Wait! Wait a minute! I don't have to tell this secret, I have to discuss! Shi Chan Taoist said.
Daoran grinned, and finally frightened him.
Hearing Bai Suzhen say that she would need three moves to break the formation with all her strength, Dao Ran now has little mana left, and Xiaoqing will definitely not be able to die with one punch. That's why he threw this punch, making Shi Chan Daoist misjudge his determination.
Thanks to Bai Suzhen's trust, otherwise this scene would not have been able to go on at all.
Now that the Shi Chan Daoist has been scared stupid, there is something to talk about below.
Bai Suzhen didn't speak, she seemed to have complete trust in Daoran, and Daoran naturally gained the dominance, and discussed with Shizen Daoren: "Actually, we don't have to let you live or die, you see that you help the national teacher do things, murder the court officials, I am mixed with monsters, and I am not allowed to be in Buddhism." You know my secrets, I also know your secrets, keep them secret, and there will be opportunities to cooperate with each other in the future, so why fight to the death? ”
Shi Chan Daoist also felt that it made sense, and asked, "Then what conditions do you have?" ”
"It's very simple, you let people go, and then swear that if you don't tell anyone what happened today, we'll let you go." Daoran said.
For practitioners, vows are binding.
Although cause and effect and luck are ethereal, as long as they embark on the path of cultivation, they will inevitably be affected by them, so practitioners generally do not dare to swear an oath, and after making an oath, they do not dare to violate it easily.
When Shi Chan Daoist heard this, he felt that the conditions were not too harsh, but he still didn't fully believe it, and said to Daoran: "You and I are not good people, although there are consequences for breaking the oath, it is not necessarily serious. I swear I can't do that. ”
"And what do you want?" Daoran asked.
"It's very simple, the two of us have low mana and swear that the binding force is not great, so our master will be involved. I swear, as long as you let me go, I will not tell anyone what happened today, and untie the formation to release the snake demon, and if I break my promise, I will let my master Qiansu Zhenren beat me into the Ten Thousand Snake Cave to be tortured by poisonous snakes. Shi Chan Taoist said.
After saying this, Dao Ran intuitively felt that there was a mysterious power blessed on his body.
This power was very subtle and had almost no effect, if it weren't for the fact that he had cultivated the Heavenly Eye and had a spiritual sense bonus, he wouldn't have felt it at all.
This should be the power of cause and effect brought about by the oath.
Dao Ran also found an interesting place from this power of cause and effect, Shi Chan Daoist said with a resolute face that the punishment of poisonous snakes in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave seemed serious, but in fact it was not.
Dao Ran didn't know what it said, but in the dark, he could sense that this punishment would not necessarily kill people. Maybe there is some way for this stone Zen Taoist to survive the torture, so he dares to swear by it.
"In that case, I'll post one too. The little monk swore in the name of Master Fahai that as long as you let go of this little green donor and keep today's matter a secret, I will let you go. If I break my promise, let my master expel me from my master's sect, and I will never be able to be a Buddhist disciple again. ”
Sure enough, as soon as he finished swearing, another mysterious power wrapped around his body.
When Shi Chan Daoist heard that Dao Ran was willing to move Fahai out and swear, his mood relaxed a little. Regardless of Qiansu Zhenren or Fahai, the cultivation of the two of them can be regarded as the top in the mortal world, and they are extremely closely related to the laws of heaven and earth. The two of them are also disciples, and the cause and effect of the master are extremely heavy, and the probability of this oath being fulfilled is extremely high.
Therefore, cultivators generally do not dare to accept disciples indiscriminately, and if they accept disciples, it is very likely that they will be involved in all kinds of causes and effects.
But Shi Chan Taoist pondered carefully, as if he felt that something was wrong, he violated his oath and was riddled with poisonous snakes, and this little monk violated his oath and was expelled from the school? Isn't that a bit unequal?
I was about to bargain again, but I heard the white snake say, "Master Daoran, I swore such a poisonous oath, I caused you to be affected." Such a great favor will be repaid by sacrificing one's life in the future. ”
Shi Chan Daoist glanced at the white snake suspiciously, could this be a double reed, as for this seriousness?
In Bai Suzhen's view, Dao Ran is a holy monk praised by everyone, both in terms of understanding and Buddhist cultivation are extraordinary, and with the guidance of famous teachers such as Fahai, he will at least be an Arhat in the future, and it is not impossible to be a bodhisattva.
What is more important for a practitioner than attaining the right result?
For Daoran, the punishment of expulsion from the division is more serious than losing his life, and it can be said to be an extremely tragic punishment. Everyone just met in Pingshui, how can Master Dao Ran do this for the sake of the monsters, how can it not be touching?
"Okay, the oath has been made, and you still won't let go?" Dao Ran said to Shi Chan Taoist.
Shi Chan Daoist frowned, he found that he didn't seem to have a choice. If you carry it hard, you will definitely die, and if you choose to believe in Daoran, it seems that there is still a glimmer of life.
Just as he was about to respond, Shi Chan Daoist's face suddenly stiffened, and a large number of green tendons crawled all over his face, looking extremely hideous.
I saw that the Shi Chan Daoist opened his mouth and made a completely different voice from before: "Criminal, who allowed you to swear by being a teacher?!" ”
There was a crisp click, as if an invisible big hand had twisted the neck of the stone Zen Taoist man.
Shi Chan Daoren's eyes rolled white, his tongue stretched out, and he died in an instant.
But Shi Chan Daoist hadn't fallen yet, he tilted his head like a zombie, looked at Dao Ran and Bai Suzhen with anti-white eyes, and made a gloomy and hoarse voice: "Again and again, I have repeatedly hurt my big things, and I will teach you a lesson today!" ”
After saying this, the Shi Chan Daoist fell to the ground, but at the same time, the demon refining array was full of blue light and began to operate automatically. The little green snake lying in the center of the formation twitched violently, its scales shattered, blood splattered, and its body continued to dissolve in the blue light.
