Chapter 5: Cultivating Immortal Disciples
The situation was out of control, Ding Youcheng secretly complained in his heart, Mei Zhengdao and his party of five were still angry about this red gap just now, and the man in Tsing Yi who inexplicably broke in added fuel to the fire, and he was ready to do it in Zuofu.
But as the housekeeper of Zuofu, he couldn't let them fight, so he had to say hello first to ease the atmosphere, and then find a way to make a round: "Your Excellency......"
The man in Tsing Yi waved his hand impatiently and interrupted Ding Youcheng: "Xu Zhuo, a disciple of the Alliance Academy's immortal cultivator, if you want to do it, come on!"
As he spoke, Xu Zhuo whispered words in his mouth, his right hand turned up, his palm turned to the sky, he shook hands into claws, and a fireball appeared out of thin air.
"Immortal cultivator!"
Ordinary martial artists against immortal cultivators, purely hitting stones with eggs, Wu Yuan Ding just opened the stance, and was about to give Xu Zhuo a dismount, when he saw this fireball that appeared out of thin air, he was stunned on the spot, unable to advance or retreat.
"When can immortal cultivators do it to mortals?" Mei Zhengdao saw that Wu Yuan was going to suffer, and hurriedly questioned it.
The Immortal Cultivation Realm has been prescribed since ancient times, and once you enter the Immortal Cultivation Realm, even if you are in the Qi Refining Period, you must not easily attack mortals.
After all, the strength is not equal, and mortals, as the reserve force of cultivating immortals, undoubtedly broke their own foundation by wantonly bullying and slaughtering mortals.
"Hahaha, I was just joking, I just wanted to scare him, I didn't expect that there were anyone who knew how to do it, I don't know which sect the Taoist disciple is?"
Xu Zhuo accepted the Dao method, looked at Mei Zhengdao, and saw that Mei Zhengdao was dressed as a Taoist, although he was sixty years old, but he would appear on this occasion, and it could not be a senior master, so he asked each other.
"The poor Dao's surname is Mei, his name is right, and he is a casual cultivator!"
"Loose cultivation, hehe!" Xu Zhuo smiled contemptuously when he heard Mei Zhengdao's introduction.
Scattered cultivation in the Central Continent is a group of poor ghosts who have no money to cultivate. The various sects divide their spheres of influence and divide the resources of cultivation, and all cultivators below the foundation building period are not allowed to join the sect.
The casual cultivation is so poor that he can't even enter the alliance academy jointly organized by the Immortal Cultivation Sect, how can he have the ability to cultivate to the foundation building period, and the scattered cultivation with a little ambition goes overseas to fight for his own opportunity.
The rest of these casual cultivators rely on the wild exercises that are spread outside, and they are indirectly involved in the urban and rural areas in the city and countryside to draw talismans to drive away evil spirits, so they are looked down upon by these self-proclaimed and orthodox immortal cultivators.
"What about casual cultivation? You self-proclaimed academy disciples always think that you are superior. “
"If you can't cultivate, you can't build a foundation, and you don't have silver to continue cultivating in the Alliance Academy, you won't be kicked out of the academy and become a casual cultivator. “
"Your Excellency has only refined qi at the fifth level and came out to pick up the exorcism of this Zuofu, presumably because you are shy in your pocket, and you can't continue it!"
Mei Zhengdao kicked Xu Zhuo's contempt back with a light stroke.
"You!" Xu Zhuo was poked in the sore spot by Mei Zhengdao, but he couldn't refute it, he was annoyed and angry, turned his hand and summoned a fireball, and was about to do something to Mei Zhengdao.
"Young man, if you walk too much at night, you will always see hell, are you sure you want to do it?"
Mei Zhengdao stood up from the chair, flipped out a talisman with his left hand and sandwiched it between his fingers, pinched the sword finger curse mark with his right hand, and stared at Xu Zhuo without giving an inch.
Mei Daojia followed Mei Zhengdao for more than a month, and on weekdays, he drew talismans to drive away evil spirits and beg for a living in the city and countryside, and never did anything with others, and thought that he, a cheap master, would only pit the villagers.
I didn't expect that I would be so tough today, and I would confront a disciple of the fifth level of Qi Refining Academy, and I couldn't help but look at him with admiration, and my heart evaluated him a little higher.
"Divine Thunder Talisman!" Xu Zhuo was a little surprised.
The Shenxiao Falling Thunder Talisman is a talisman specially made by the Shenxiao Sect of the Immortal Cultivation Sect for those disciples in the Qi refining period, turning the talisman into thunder, falling out of thin air, and hitting the enemy's head directly, which is quite powerful.
But the talisman is gone, and the price is relatively expensive, and ordinary qi refining disciples will basically not buy it if they don't have some dangerous tasks.
I didn't expect that there was one on this broken Dao man, and at such a close distance, he could not bear the power of this thunder talisman even if it was the fifth layer of qi refining. Xu Zhuo hesitated, unable to decide whether to fight or not.
Mei Zhengdao was calm and relaxed on the surface, but in fact, he was also playing drums in his heart, he was betting that Xu Zhuo would not dare to do anything with him at such a close distance.
1,000 bets 100,000, both lose and lose, at most I won't earn the 1,000 taels, if you get hurt, I'll see how you fight with that female ghost.
Don't hit people in the face, dismantle the house and don't smash the pot, the clay man still has three points of anger, you look down on Dao Ye and me, and want to smash my job, Dao Ye and I won't let you have a good time.
"Stop, please stop, listen to the old man!"
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Master Zuo appeared.
"The old man was scared by the female ghost and lost his face, he didn't think about it, and he made a random offer, so that the two of them were suspicious, it was the old man's fault, please bear with them!"
As soon as Master Zuo came up, he took all the mistakes and gave Mei Zhengdao and Xu Zhuo a step down, and the two had no intention of fighting to the death, so they took the opportunity and sat down.
"Master Zuo, it's not that we don't know the number of etiquette, the two poor Taoist masters and apprentices and Dangyang Sanxiong saw the notice of Zuofu recruiting people to exorcise ghosts, and they came to the door together to share the worries of Zuofu. “
"But as soon as this academy disciple came up, he insulted us and others, saying that we are not even as good as beggars who come to beg for food, so there is this fight!" Mei Zhengdao said first in saluting Master Zuo.
In fact, when Xu Zhuo entered the living room, Master Zuo was already outside the station hall, and when he saw Xu Zhuo and Mei Zhengdao and his party arguing, he had the heart to see if both sides had the ability, don't be some fake Taoists who want to fish in the muddy waters of Zuofu.
Xu Zhuo, as a disciple of the academy, was robbed of his face by a loose cultivator, and he had no choice but to take Mei Zhengdao, so he lost face in public, and his anger in his stomach had nowhere to vent, so he pointed the finger at Dangyang Sanxiong.
"The ghost was born, formless and phaseless, these three are the three male and yang, mortal martial arts, mortal mortals, there is no way to deal with it. “
"At this time, when you come to the door, it is obvious that you are fishing in troubled waters, isn't it even as good as beggars, what is it? Master Zuo still didn't drive these three out of the house, and still left them here to be an eyesore?"
"You!" all said that beating people does not slap their faces, although Dangyang Sanxiong has the intention of cheating money, but when he was exposed to his face, his face was still a little unbearable, and his face was so angry that his face turned red and his fists were clenched.
Master Zuo is also in a dilemma, I wanted to see the capabilities of both sides, but I didn't know that there was a lot of trouble.
Xu Zhuo was domineering, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked Master Zuo to drive people away, and Master Zuo asked for him, so it was not easy to offend.
However, Dangyang Sanxiong came after reading the notice of Zuofu, and he was well-known in Dangyang City, although he was suspected of muddying the water, but at this time, he drove people out, didn't he slap Zuofu's own face?
Xu Zhuo opened his mouth to drive people away, but Master Zuo was silent, which made Mei Zhengdao a little nervous, his master and apprentice and Dangyang Sanxiong came together, one was prosperous, and the other was lost, if Dangyang Sanxiong was driven out of Zuofu, his master and apprentice would undoubtedly be quite embarrassed, and they had to keep these three people.
So Mei Zhengdao asked Master Zuo and diverted the topic: "Master Zuo, so many people from the rivers and lakes and evil spirits have been invited in the house, and no one will come out again when they enter the other courtyard to control ghosts." As the saying goes, if you live you want to see a person, if you die you want to see a corpse, haven't you sent someone to find it?"
"Oh, I haven't looked for it, it's just ......"
Although Xu Zhuo was dissatisfied with Mei Zhengdao's opening of the topic, when he saw that Master Zuo's words flickered, he thought that this old guy would not have anything to hide from me.
It's a matter of his own safety, and he was ridiculed by Mei Zhengdao, and he was already dissatisfied, and his tone of voice was also a little angry.
"Master Zuo, let's exorcise ghosts for your Zuofu, you shouldn't have something to hide from us, right?"
Master Zuo couldn't hide it when he saw it, so he could only tell the story: "Alas, it's hard to say, it's not that I deliberately hide it from you, but if this matter spreads, the families of those people can't guarantee that my Zuo Mansion will be demolished!"
Zuofu is rich and powerful in Dangyang City, is a local tyrant, and has the protection of the government, although it is said that dozens of people have been killed by asking people to exorcise ghosts, and the Zuo family has taken money to compensate them, but they still dare not tell their families the news of the deceased, for fear that they will demolish Zuofu, which shows that this matter is quite tricky.
"Master Zuo, please rest assured, this matter can come out of your mouth, into my ears, and will never be spread out, I Mei Zhengdao swear to the sky!"
In order to dispel Master Zuo's concerns, Mei Zhengdao swore on the spot, Xu Zhuo and others also echoed it, and before they started to expel the female ghost, they did a single thing, and if they didn't figure it out, how could they concentrate on exorcising ghosts.
"Okay, since you have sworn not to pass it on, then the old man will tell you. Youcheng, you brought someone to find it at that time, you know it in more detail, so let's talk about it!"
"Yes, sir. At that time, those exorcists entered the courtyard to exorcise ghosts, but they didn't come out again, we all knew that they had suffered misfortune, but so many people died inside, we had to give an explanation to the families of those people, and we couldn't let them be exposed. “
So I took a group of people into the courtyard at noon when the yang energy was at its peak, but it was empty, and no one could be found, and it was like this for two days in a row. “
"Unable to conceive, we had to bite the bullet, and one night, while it was still here, we climbed the wall of the courtyard with a ladder. “
Speaking of this, Ding Youcheng stopped, poured himself a cup of tea, and poured it in one go.
Xu Zhuo saw that he stopped suddenly, thinking that he was hanging everyone's appetite, so he scolded: "When is it, do you think you are telling a story?
Ding Youcheng glanced at him, ignored it, poured another cup of tea, seemed to have a lot of courage, and continued.
"I remember that day the moon was so bright that the ground was white, and there was silence all around, not even a trace of wind, and it was so oppressive that it was depressing. “
"With trembling hands and feet, I secretly climbed up the courtyard wall along the ladder, and slowly stretched my head over the wall to observe the situation in the courtyard. “
"I didn't expect that the courtyard that was empty during the day was full of people. “
"Those people were slow, walking around the courtyard in a daze, like marionettes, some people were setting up stalls, some were selling vegetables, some were bargaining, but they didn't make a sound, it was quiet, it was a silent play. “
Suddenly they looked up at me together, and there was only the whites of their eyes in their round eyes, and there was a strange smile on their faces, and they were grinning there, but they didn't make a sound, and I was so frightened that I rolled down the ladder and fled back as if I had lost my life, and I was sick for two days before I could get out of bed and walk around. I still have palpitations when I think about it now!"
After speaking, Ding Youcheng poured himself another cup of tea and settled his mood.
