Chapter 25: Taoism

"You say."

The middle-aged monk spoke.

"First, can the demon beast let me end my life, what I hate most in my life is these demon beasts, and I have obsessions."

"Second, I don't have any problems with the division, how many times a month do I carry out mountain patrol tasks?"

"And one last point, every time I complete a task, I will take a break for a while, the length of which I don't know, but I will be notified in advance."

"If Senior Brother thinks there is no problem, then follow this."

Song Zhishu opened his mouth and put forward his own requirements.

"You can promise to end your life, but it's not good to guarantee fighting with demon beasts, so if conditions allow, you can agree to your request, if the situation is critical, this won't work."

"As for the mission, four times a month, two have been carried out so far, and the last two are still missing."

"There is nothing wrong with the third point, the other three people in the team are not particularly leisurely, and they usually have some personal matters."

"What do you think?"

The other party gave an answer, and then looked at Song Zhishu.

"Okay, then thank you brother, I don't know my brother's name yet."

Song Zhishu smiled slightly.

"Li Dao, this is my name, we took a task, four days later, the demon will be punished, you need to kill four demon beasts above the fifth level of qi training, it will be very hard, you are ready, the basic talisman bag and medicine bag have to be bought, the price is not expensive, about twenty low-grade spirit stones, this should be there, right?"

Li Dao spoke up and asked Song Zhishu to make some preparations.

"No problem."

Song Zhishu nodded, and soon Li Dao left the meeting place four days later, and then left this place.

After Li Dao left, Song Zhishu also let out a long breath, the other party was at least a monk of the eighth level of qi cultivation, otherwise, it would be impossible to give himself such a sense of oppression.

However, after calming down for a while, Song Zhishu went straight to Fang City to buy talisman bags and medicine bags.

A few hours later, Song Zhishu returned, he sold all the valuable things on his body, and finally scraped together and talked about the price for half an hour, and then he bought the talisman pack.

There are two pieces of God Speed Talisman, Dust Purification Talisman, Insect Repellent Talisman, True Fire Talisman and Spiritual Light Talisman, all of which are medium-grade rune papers, plus some detoxification pills, hemostatic pills, and five Storm Pills.

After the things were bought, Song Zhishu was not idle, condensing the two Haoran righteousness and nourishing the wooden sword, as long as he was free during this time, Song Zhishu would use Haoran righteousness to nourish the wooden sword, hoping that when he really encountered any danger, he could rely on this flying sword to save his life.

Four days passed in the blink of an eye.

The place agreed by Li Dao was at the foot of Sunset Peak, driving the flying sword, Song Zhishu didn't want to be late, so he set off early.

Perhaps because it was the first time to participate in the mountain patrol and demon punishment, Song Zhishu's mood was a little nervous and excited.

It's just that when Song Zhishu came to the foot of Sunset Peak, he found that Li Dao and others were already waiting here.

The day has just dawned, at the foot of the sunset peak, Li Dao stands around, looking at the mountain mist, there are two people together, one is sharpening the knife and is a little fierce, and the other is expressionless, perhaps because he is not familiar, and the sense of boundary is very serious.

The age of the three of them is basically around forty years old, older than themselves, except for Li Dao and Song Zhishu who can't detect what realm it is, the other two are all six levels of qi training, which is really reasonable among the miscellaneous servants.

"Senior Brother Li."

Song Zhishu controlled the wooden sword to fall slowly, and shouted at Li Dao, who woke up from his thoughts and looked at Song Zhishu.

At the same time, he also greeted the other two and said, "People are coming." ”

As Li Dao spoke, the two also looked at Song Zhishu, their eyes were calm, but they didn't know that they were teammates, and they didn't have the indifference and rustiness of Fang Cai.

"Senior Brother Song, this is Wu Lishan, this is Wang Yue, both of them are your senior brothers."

"Let me give you a general explanation of the situation, Wu Lishan is responsible for searching the surrounding demon beasts, if it is found, Wang Yue is responsible for attracting the demon beasts, I am responsible for making a move, Senior Brother Song has a simple job, cooperate with me to make a move."

"Killing demon beasts is about being fast and accurate, don't drag mud and water, and don't be soft-hearted, demon beasts won't be merciful to us, so don't have the kindness of a woman, if you find it once, whether it affects or not, you won't cooperate next, understand?"

Li Dao looked at Song Zhishu and explained to him the rules in the team, this is not a threat or threat, but to teach the real truth, after all, it is a demon beast that he will face, not a cat or a dog.

"Please rest assured, senior brother."

Song Zhishu nodded, although he had never participated in this kind of task, but in the end, he had also killed monsters, so he would not be so unbearable.

"Okay, I won't be verbose about anything else, there's nothing special about patrolling the mountains and punishing demons, be bold, shoot ruthlessly, just listen to the command."

"On a stick of incense, let's go."

Li Dao really didn't talk nonsense, he shouted, Wu Lishan immediately took out three incense sticks, inserted them in a pile of rubble, and then everyone set off to leave.

The four of them walked together, and their target was near the Yunshan ore vein, about nine hundred miles away from Sunset Peak, and if they hurried together, it would take about three days, but relying on the middle-grade god speed charm to run, and the flying sword to assist, crossing some steep mountains, it would take almost a day and a half to catch up.

This is the difference brought about by different classes, a middle-grade god speed charm and a low-grade spirit stone, if it is a nominal disciple, how many are willing to use it in a hurry? At least before he became a miscellaneous servant, Song Zhishu was not particularly reluctant.

Between the mountains.

The figures of Song Zhishu and the four of them passed quickly, and the four of them gathered together, running extremely fast, and if there was any danger, they could quickly cooperate with each other.

Because they rested for a while, the four of them arrived at the Yunshan vein two days later.

Between the mountains and forests, the ancient trees are towering, silent, standing on the stone cliff, Song Zhishu looks at a big mountain in the distance, that is Yunshan, the highest peak within a hundred miles around, and it is also a spiritual iron mine.

"This is Yunshan, Yunshan produces extremely hot ore, which is the best material for refining Zhengyang Flying Sword, during this time, the price of Zhengyang's magic weapon has soared, and the sect does not know how many spirit stones it has earned by relying on this Yunshan, but it is a pity that we have suffered."

Wang Yue opened his mouth, looked at the Yunshan in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

With the contact in the past two days, the four of them have not communicated much, the main reason is that they are not very familiar with each other, plus both parties are a little old, and they are not children, they will be cautious in what they say and do, and it is impossible to become friends all at once.

However, this Wang Yue is still a person who can talk a little more, not as dull and silent as Wu Lishan.

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Senior Brother Wu, I've worked hard for you this time."

Li Dao spoke, his eyes patrolled the mountains and forests, and then looked at Wu Lishan.

"Senior brother's words are serious."

Wu Lishan rarely spoke, his voice was low and a little indifferent, after saying this, he took out three white paper figures, shook them slightly, and suddenly the three paper figures instantly swelled, and then flew lightly around.

There are two circles drawn on the paper man, like eyes, which look very strange.

"What kind of supernatural power is this?"

Song Zhishu was a little curious, he had never seen such a divine channel method.

"Pinching paper as an adult, one of the thirty-six methods of Shanghao, Senior Brother Song won't have learned any of them, right?"

Wang Yue was a little surprised, this kind of Dao method may be very different in the eyes of mortals, but for them monks, it is just like that.

One of the Thirty-six Dharmas? Song Zhishu thought about it for a while, and probably knew something.

The Taihao Sword Sect is famous for its sword skills, but after all, it is an immortal sect, so it naturally needs some Taoism, so the elders of the Taihao Sword Sect compiled two books of three swords and seven classics

The three swords are the foundation of the roots, the three sword tricks, only the disciples above the inner door are qualified to learn, the seven scriptures are the seven sword scriptures, which are for the inner disciples and the outer disciples to practice, and the two books are Taihao and Shanghao Taoism.

Taihao's twelve methods, sprinkling beans into soldiers, calling for wind and rain, turning stones into gold, and heavenly soldiers descending like this.

The 36 methods of Shanghao are to pinch paper adults, watch the mountains and rivers, divide into two, and gather sand into a tower.

It is some of the more practical Taoist magical powers.

But Song Zhishu had just been promoted to a miscellaneous servant and had no time to study, so he was naturally surprised.

"I haven't learned it yet, but after this trip, I'm going to learn a Taoist technique."

Song Zhishu told the truth.

"Haven't you learned yet? If you want to learn one, you can learn the Taoist technique of listening to thousands of miles, and once you master it, you can control the wind and grass within a few miles around, which is convenient for patrolling the mountains. ”

Hearing that Song Zhishu had not learned Taoism, Li Dao immediately spoke and recommended Song Zhishu to learn this Taoism.

"Okay, when I go back, I will learn a good Taoist technique."

Song Zhishu agreed, and Li Dao didn't say anything, but Wang Yue on the side couldn't help but speak.

"It's good to learn it simply, after all, we are still sword cultivators, no matter how strong this Dao cultivation is, it can't compare to the disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect, I heard a senior brother from the outer sect say that the disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect practice the Dao method is extremely strong, and it is said to be the magic power of heaven and earth, the power is extraordinary, and it is very terrifying."

Wang Yue opened his mouth, he was idle anyway, and he had a simple exchange to pass the time.

Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect, Song Zhishu knows one thing, there are nothing more than two kinds of monks in this world, sword cultivation and law cultivation, law cultivators refine the channel method, evolution to the extreme is supernatural power, infinite power, and sword cultivation is sword cultivation, a flying sword, killing demons and killing demons.

"It's fake, the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect does have the Tiangang Earth Evil Dao Method, but there are not many supernatural powers, many of them are incomplete versions, it is said that some of the most critical Dao supernatural powers are deductive versions, and the monks all over the world are looking for them, if the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect has a complete version, it would have been the first sect in the world."

"But this kind of thing has nothing to do with us, it's impossible to say whether it's true or not, anyway, it doesn't have much to do with us."

Li Dao has lived for more than fifty years and knows a lot of things, and when he heard Wang Yue say this, he couldn't help but respond, of course, after saying it, he himself understood that this kind of thing argument was meaningless.

Wang Yue didn't reply, the three of them waited quietly here, they couldn't scatter to find it, just let Wu Lishan find it alone, if they were scattered, it would be very troublesome in case of emergencies.

Soon, what happened next gave Song Zhishu a new view of patrolling mountains and demons.

For five days, the three of them had nothing to do except meditate and practice normally and occasionally chat.

Not to mention the demon beast, even the feces of the demon beast were not found, which made Song Zhishu smile a little bitterly.

I thought that patrolling the mountains and punishing demons would be ready to do it anytime and anywhere, but I didn't expect to wait here stupidly for five days.

Finally, on the sixth day, Wu Lishan came back, but the news he brought was not good, he carefully searched the surrounding thirty miles, and found no trace of demon beasts, not really not a single demon beast, but no longer active in this area.

After getting this news, Li Dao didn't say anything long-winded, and went directly to the south to try his luck in another area.

"Senior Brother Song, demon punishment is like this, sometimes you want to meet demon beasts, you can't see one for ten days and half a month, sometimes you don't want to meet it, and you encounter a lot of it, you can bear it on this kind of day."

Wang Yue gloated a little, getting along in the past few days, and the relationship has also improved a little, so that it will not be indifferent.

Song Zhishu smiled bitterly, didn't say anything, just followed Li Dao forward.

But it was only an hour to go south, and suddenly, Li Dao stopped, and his face was extremely solemn.

"Attention."

He spoke, holding out his hand to keep the three on guard.

In an instant, Song Zhishu's originally calm mood immediately became nervous, and he couldn't help but clench his flying sword.
