Li Gongfu is just a mortal, and his life can be easily seen through with Song Xing's current Taoism.

However, he also saw that Li Gongfu's original life trajectory seemed to have undergone subtle changes because of his arrival.

Not only that, but the entire Qiantang County seems to have undergone a lot of changes.

In his memory, before Xu Xian met Bai Suzhen, he had never heard of the appearance of monsters in Qiantang County.

Demon is a word that often appears in folk legends, often representing evil and villains, but there are very few people who have seen it.

Yokai were originally born out of reverence for nature and animals, and people called their invisible, untouchable, and uncontrollable forces collectively called yokai.

In the stories of human beings, most of the demons are demon beasts who have cultivated into essence, and even some of them are possessed by demon spirits, and most of these types of monsters are extremely powerful existences.

Take the bat spirit that Li Gongfu encountered as an example, although it is a monster, it is an extremely rare beast that sucks the flesh and blood of resentful spirits and cultivates into essence.

Even if Li Gongfu is skilled in martial arts, when he encounters a bat spirit, he is not defeated at all.

However, there are also ancient books such as "Zuo Biography" that people are jealous, and their arrogance is taken from them, and demons are prospered by people.

If people abandon the usual, they will be demonic, so there are demons.

It is probably said that demons are actually created or becomeged by people, and people who lose their ethics probably become demons.

"Taiping Guangji" also records that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty toured the west, he encountered a strange insect blocking the way, this strange insect is red, the eyes, ears, mouth and nose are all equipped with facial features, and everyone does not know what it is, only Dongfang Shuo said that this is a strange demon.

This place must have been a prison of the Qin Dynasty before, when Qin Shi Huang imprisoned innocent people, the people complained, looked up to the sky and sighed "strange, strange", the sky felt something, and the birth of strange.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked how to get rid of it? Dongfang Shuo said that wine can relieve worries, and it will disappear when watered with wine. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the wine and tried it, and sure enough, it was so.

However, in a world where aura is scarce, youkai is just a term in the story.

And in a world of strong aura, demon is not just a noun.

By chance, everything can become a demon, even if it is a lifeless stone, a monster may be born.

However, in this world, Taoism and Buddhism are thriving, and humanity is prosperous, there is no soil for these ordinary monsters to survive at all.

The monsters that can survive safely are either hiding in the deep mountains and old forests to cultivate, or they are taking refuge in or befriending the two factions of Buddhism and Taoism in exchange for space to survive.

Therefore, for Qiantang County, a city guarded by Shinto City Gods, the appearance of bat demons is actually a very rare thing, and even City God himself thought that it was a monster who had coincidentally cultivated into a spirit in the mountains and strayed into the mortal world.

But under Song Xing's calculations, the strange things in Qiantang County seem to be just the beginning.

Behind, there seems to be bigger trouble awaiting.

Li Gongfu is also a person with a smart mind, and instantly understood the meaning of Song Xing's words, and his face changed greatly: "Dao Chief, are you saying that there are still such monsters in Qiantang County?" ”

Song Xing said: "I don't know, but you are responsible for guarding Qiantang County, and you can see from your body that in the next few days, there may be similar shadows in Qiantang County." ”

Li Gongfu stammered a little and said: "This, if it is still such a monster, please ask the Taoist chief to help save the lives of hundreds of people up and down this Qiantang." ”

Song Xing thought for a while, took out a copper coin from his arms, and handed it to Li Gongfu: "Keep this copper coin alive, it may be able to save your life at a critical moment." ”

Li Gongfu thought of the magical stone cat before, and immediately took the copper coin respectfully.

"Go ahead, let your family try not to go out these days, if something really happens, I won't sit idly by."

Seeing that Song Xing had no intention of talking more, Li Gongfu hurriedly thanked him, and then left with the reluctant Xu Xian and the others.

When he got out of the alley, Xu Xian finally couldn't help but say: "Brother-in-law, didn't you tell me in the past, try to stay away from those Taoist priests who cheat money, what's wrong with you today?" ”

Li Gongfu stopped, first glanced behind him, and then said to Xu Xian in a serious voice: "Hanwen, this Song Daoist is a real person with great mana, and the game is completely different from those deceitful Taoist priests, you are a little rude today, if it weren't for the Taoist Dao's generosity, I really don't know what to do." ”

Xu Xian frowned and said, "Brother-in-law, it's just a few words that cover the clouds and mist, could it be that you really believe his words?" ”

Xu Xian's words were quite harsh, but Li Gongfu still said patiently: "Hanwen, Taoism has a long history, and there have been countless powerful figures in history, and this world is far more complicated than what you and I see. ”

Li Gongfu wanted to tell Xu Xian the truth, but without Song Xing's permission, he still didn't dare to tell the matter of the bat spirit.

Xu Xian pursed his lips after hearing this, still with a disdainful look: "Brother-in-law, I have read the Four Books and Five Classics, and I only recognize the knowledge of Confucius. ”

Li Gongfu shook his head, didn't bother to argue with him anymore, and instead said: "You must remember to keep in mind the words of this Song Daochang, he is definitely a real master, it is rare for him to give us guidance, you remember not to annoy him again, otherwise I am afraid that it will cause trouble." ”

Xu Xian snorted unhappily, but he was not a person who did not listen to the admonition, and did not continue to contradict it.

Li Gongfu didn't say anything anymore and walked straight home.

After a while, Xu Xian stepped forward with a smile and said, "Brother-in-law, you have never liked monks and Taoists, what has happened in the past few days that makes you respect that Taoist priest so much?" ”

Li Gongfu glanced at him and snorted coldly, obviously still dissatisfied with what he said just now, and ignored him.

Xu Jiaorong knew her husband's temper, stepped forward and tugged at his sleeve, and then said to Xu Xian: "Hanwen, your brother-in-law has loved you so much since he was a child, when have you ever seen him do something that he is not sure of." Not to mention anything else, since that Taoist leader is your brother-in-law's life-saving benefactor, you shouldn't be rude to others. ”

Xu Xian had always listened to his sister's words, and when he heard this, he bowed his head and said to Li Gongfu: "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry, next time I won't be rude to that Taoist priest." ”

Li Gongfu shook his head and said, "Daoist Song is a master of Taoism, so naturally he will not be as knowledgeable as you. Your brother-in-law and I are very sober, I am not deceived as much as you think, I can't say more, in short, this Taoist chief is really capable. Even if you can't be kind, you must not offend. Don't go to the pharmacy these days, stay at home with your sister, and don't go out anywhere. ”

Xu Jiaorong said with some concern: "Official, that Taoist chief said that the county will not be peaceful in the next few days, is it true or false?" ”

Li Gongfu shook his head and said: "Since the Taoist chief said that something happened, I'm afraid that it won't be peaceful these days, but I have a magic weapon given by the Taoist chief, so you don't have to worry too much." ”

When Xu Xian heard this, he immediately answered: "Brother-in-law, you mean, the copper coin he gave you before he left just now?" No matter how you look at it, it's also an ordinary copper coin, where can it be magical. ”

Li Gongfu sneered and slapped Xu Xian's outstretched hand, "Don't be careless, what the Taoist chief gifted, how could it be an ordinary copper coin, a Taoist magic weapon, ordinary people can't see it." ”

He remembered in his mind that in front of the Xuanwu Temple before, the stone cat that bloomed with golden light, slashed the bat monster with a sword, and subconsciously touched the copper coin solemnly put in his arms, and felt a lot more relieved in his heart. (End of chapter)
