Chapter 6: The Minotaur King
Anhui, Ningguofu, Xuancheng County.
"That minotaur is here again! Run, everyone!"
With an exclamation, the originally lively morning market exploded, and from the gate of a long-abandoned land temple ran out of a rosewood carved ox, with pointed horns, strong body, and hooves running wildly, and the wooden body made a "creaking" sound. This wooden cow was originally used by the land temple to sacrifice the land in the early spring, but it has long been abandoned, and I don't want to make trouble.
As the wooden oxen came, the vendors and pedestrians on the street ran away as if they were swept away by the clouds, and they simply avoided it like a plague god.
Mu Niu stood in the empty street, secretly wondering, it seems that his popularity is inferior, and there is no one left behind.
"Moo! The people of Xuancheng County listen, I am the king of the bull's head, I have cultivated for a long time, the emperor of heaven ordered me to eat blood here, this Xuancheng County owes me a hundred lives, the day before yesterday I ordered you to sacrifice a person every day, and there is no one at this moment, why are you so neglected by me? The three-day period has expired, and there are no animals, this king wants to sow a plague in the sky, so that you can wait to lead the end of blasphemy!"
After that, the wooden ox turned around, raised its tail and hooves, "squeaked", and ran back to the land temple.
When the people who were hiding heard that this monster was going to sow the plague, they were frightened, and men, women, and children gathered together to come to the county government of Xuancheng County, beating drums and shouting grievances.
The county lord was not there, and the history of the code hurriedly caught everyone, and said: "Your intentions, the little officials already know that the monsters are in trouble, and now the county government has posted a document to ask the mage to expel it, but a few Taoist monks have come, and they have all been beaten away by this monster, and those who have been killed have been killed, and the monsters are strong, and the county government is helpless, just waiting for God to have mercy and send down the Taoist master, and I will wait for Li Min to be saved!"
When everyone heard this, they didn't know what to do, they were crying and crying, and they were making a fuss, and suddenly they heard someone shouting outside the door: "Oh no, there is a crazy Taoist priest, who is sent to the land temple to die!"
When everyone ran out of the county government to look, they saw a Taoist priest coming from the south, I don't know how old he was, with a beard, unkempt hair, loose hair, wearing a torn Ge preaching robe, rotten cloth shoes, holding a jujube stick in his hand, a colorful miscellaneous cloth silk tied around his waist, and a long bamboo tube for wine.
The Taoist priest shouted as he walked: "You are afraid of death, but you are not afraid of poverty, so I'll give him food." He kept walking towards the gate of the Land Temple, and the crowd called out to him, but he ignored him, and a few bold people followed him from a distance.
Walking to the door of the Land Temple, the Taoist priest stood with a jujube stick, crossed his waist, and shouted: "King Bullhead, your livestock is here!"
I only heard the land temple, "squeak, squeak", the wooden cow ran out again, and when he saw an old man standing at the door, he said angrily: "Where did the dog Taoist come from, dare to come and coax your king!"
"Poor Dao didn't lie to you. The Taoist priest pointed his finger at himself, "Your animal!"
"Bah, you dirty, go back and take a shower!"
"You're unreasonable!" the Taoist priest's face changed, "If you want to eat, you can eat, it's not okay to look down on the poor Dao!"
The Taoist priest threw the jujube stick in his hand, recited a mantra in his mouth, and pinched it with one hand, only to see the wooden stick flash a golden light, and a stick hit the wooden cow, crackling and crisp, and smashed the thick horns of the wooden cow alive.
This mana is not trivial, the Taoist priest's cultivation has already broken through the realm of the True Monarch, if this monster is forgiven at this moment, there may be a way to live.
But the wooden cow's body was shocked, not shocked and angry, and roared, "Dog Taoist, you are really here to send death!" After that, he recited a mantra in a low voice, and two puffs of black smoke came out of the nostrils of the wooden cow, gathering in mid-air, and a whirlwind blew up, blowing dust all over the ground, covering the sky and the sun, listening to the wind, there were wild beasts gasping and roaring.
"It's a big gust of wind. The Taoist priest caught the wooden stick, unhurried, and praised in his mouth.
Several onlookers were already frightened and weak, supported each other, and fled backwards.
Suddenly, from the whirlwind suddenly burst out of a yellow light, the yellow light is extremely dazzling, take a closer look, a golden armor god standing in the air, thick eyebrows and big eyes, angry eyes, wearing gold forged armor, wearing a gold helmet, golden, bright, like a ball of fire, holding a golden eight-treasure hammer in his hand, pointing at the Taoist priest and shouting: "The gods are here, the demon road will not retreat!"
The Taoist priest clapped his hands and laughed: "Miaozai, Miaozai, if you don't have that gray gas on your head, Poor Dao will really kneel down for you!"
Sure enough, if you look closely, there is a gray gas above the head of this golden-armored god, hazy, and imaginary.
The Golden Armor Divine Man was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Then what do you say?"
The Taoist priest pointed to the nose of the golden-armored god and said, "Poor Dao said, you are a monster in the ghost path. ”
"It's really hateful!" The golden armor god man waved the eight treasure hammer, went straight to the Taoist priest, smashed the hammer, the wooden stick in the Taoist priest's hand got up early, and the one-handed horizontal stick blocked, a loud noise, shaking the heavens and the earth, the eight treasure hammer in the hand of the golden armor god man was beaten by the wooden stick and disappeared in mid-air.
As soon as his hand was empty, the golden armor god man was stunned again, his face changed color, and the gray gas enveloped his whole body, conjuring up a terrifying monster, with pointed ears, a long mouth, two rows of fangs up and down, and black hair like steel needles standing all over his body, screaming, spit out a red inner dan from his mouth, steaming hot, the inner dan rose in the air, emitting a burst of red light, wrapped in countless wandering spirits and ghosts, the yin qi was pressing, flying towards the Taoist, hideous, and wanted to swallow the Taoist priest in one gulp.
"Blood Pill Method!" the Taoist priest sneered, "I don't know how much human blood you have sucked from this evil animal, Poor Dao will never spare you today!"
The red pill emitted a blood-red light, countless wandering spirits roared, a blood curtain covered the sky, surrounded by the Taoist, the Taoist priest's face did not change color, he chanted a mantra in his mouth, pinched the trick with his left hand, and took seven steps according to the direction of the Big Dipper under his feet, carried the stick with his right hand, wrote in the air, the stick was everywhere, showing the golden characters, a big talisman flashed golden light in the air, the left hand spread his palm, and chanted, "Get up!"
I saw that the golden rune emitted ten thousand golden lights, and the light of the red pill was quickly overshadowed by the golden rune, and the golden mangs were flourishing, brilliant and dazzling, and the blood-colored red light was swept away.
This bull-headed king is just a gray demon, and he has only been practicing for more than a hundred years, how can he defeat the mana of this Dao True Monarch Realm.
"It's not good, it's a divine rune!" The bull-headed king also had insight, seeing that the momentum was not good, he hurriedly withdrew the inner dan, swallowed it in his mouth, and wanted to slip away, but it was too late, the golden rune smashed from mid-air and smashed his head and face, and the dazzling golden light shrouded his body, where is there a way out?
"Ahh
"The monster is dead! We are saved!" The common people had been watching for a long time, rejoicing, and pulled the Taoist priest to go to the county government to receive the reward.
The Taoist priest left everyone behind, came to the head of the otter, pinched the fire with one hand, pushed forward, and the body ignited a fire, burning the otter to ashes in a blink of an eye.
"Folks, the otter demon is dead, you can rest assured, go, go to the county government to receive the reward, which of you goes to the county government first, I will give him half of the reward. ”
"And this good thing!" Hearing this, the common people quickly put aside the Taoist priest, turned their heads and started the race, rushing to the west where the county government was located, leaving only a small Taoist boy in the crowd, who was looking at the Taoist priest in amazement.
The Taoist priest looked at this Taoist boy, holding his hair in a bun, wearing a ragged coarse sermon robe, and carrying an old coat, but his face was very good, so he stepped forward to give a salute and said, "What is this little Taoist friend, what is his name? Where did it come from?"
"I, my name is Shishi, and I come from Maoshan. ”
This little Taoist boy is Zhao Shishi, a disciple of Liu Guquan of the Maoshan faction, since the long live toad and the witch toad said goodbye, the stone always looked out of the window in a daze when he returned to the mountain, Liu Laodao saw it in his eyes, and thought to himself, this apprentice has grown up and needs to go outside. Then he called the stone to him and said, "Apprentice, I see that you are sleepy and absent-minded all day long, and you probably want to travel outside, or you have reached the age of twelve, and when you are as old as you, you have already begun to travel abroad." ”
The stone looked at the master in confusion, not knowing what the master wanted to say.
It just so happened that Liu Laodao did have something, although he returned to Maoshan from Longhu Mountain to establish Huayang Temple, but the Fu Zheng Yin Xin of the Maoshan faction was still left in the Daolu Division of Longhu Mountain, and it has never been retrieved, there is no Fu Zheng Yin Xin issued by the imperial court, this Taoist temple is not right, the words are not good, and it has become a prostitute sacrifice in the Ming Dynasty.
"Apprentice, there is a hard trip for the teacher, are you willing to go?"
The stone was even more puzzled: "Chorus?"
"Well, there is a letter for the teacher, you need to go to the Chaotian Palace of Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi, and hand it over to Lingyun Guanguan to advocate the real person, the letter is to retrieve the seal letter of the Maoshan faction, if he is willing to give it, you will bring it back carefully, if you don't give it, you will also return to the mountain as soon as possible, don't stay late." ”
The stone agreed, took the letter, immediately packed his bags, bid farewell to the master, and walked towards Longhu Mountain, this day just walked to Xuancheng County, caught in the crowd to see the Taoist practice, got rid of the otter demon, and was deeply shocked by the Taoist priest's strong mana.
The Taoist priest was a little surprised when he heard that the stone came from Maoshan Mountain, and then smiled and said, "Then little master of the stone, where are you going?"
Shi replied: "I'm going to Longhu Mountain, looking for a real person to deliver a letter." ”
"Haha, what a coincidence. The Taoist priest stretched out his dirty palm and touched the head of the stone, and the stone was not too dirty.
"What coincidence?"
The Taoist priest shook his head and said, "You came from where I am going, and you are going to where I came from, do you say it is a coincidence?"
The stone was stunned and didn't understand.
The Taoist priest patted Xiao Shi's shoulder and pointed with his hand: "Shishi, you are going to Longhu Mountain, from here to the south, take a boat where there is water, and walk where there is no water, we will meet again!"
After that, the Taoist priest carried a jujube stick, went straight to the east, and a few people came back from the county government in the west, saw the back of the Taoist priest, and shouted: "That old immortal, please leave your name!"
The Taoist priest didn't look back, and strode away by himself, and a few words of song came from afar:
Don't be a businessman, don't farm,
If you don't read poetry and books, you won't be an official,
Traveling around the rivers and lakes to see everywhere,
Everyone calls me Zhou Dianxian.
Shi Shi was still thinking about the golden light talisman, and he was surprised and envious, when could his Dao method be so strong?
