Chapter 245 Mission 023
Taoist Qingyang is just a mortal who was lucky enough to obtain an incomplete Taoist practice inheritance, but even so, he has entered the world of practice and is far better than ordinary mortals. The more you experience, the wider your knowledge will be.
The moment Qingyang saw Xiao Yu, he immediately realized that this young monk, who seemed to have a brilliant and elegant temperament, was a practitioner who was stronger than him and had a higher cultivation level than him. It was not that he had the ability to feel it. To see Xiao Yu's hidden aura, he relied on his eyesight. In this deep mountain and old forest, there is not even a tile to cover the body, it rains heavily from time to time, and the ground is muddy. This little monk must have extraordinary cultivation if his feet are dust-free and his robes are as clean as new.
So Qingyang bowed his head without hesitation. He didn't feel any shame in bowing his head like a young monk who looked only twenty years old at half a hundred years old.
Xiao Yu smiled gently at Qingyang: "Taoist Master, you're welcome." However, he did not say that he was not worthy of the title of master. The original master could be recognized as Master Kongjue by everyone in the spiritual world. He felt that he should Nor will he become inferior to the original owner.
At this time, the door of the small manor was opened, and a teenage maid timidly poked her head out. When she saw three fierce men with knives standing outside the door, she was so frightened that she had to close the door.
The black-faced man who was standing closest to the door and knocked quickly pushed the door open. The little maid couldn't match his strength. She staggered back a few steps after being pushed and looked at the black-faced man in horror: "You …Who are you? Why do you want to break into our manor?”
The black-faced man said angrily: "We brothers have walked a long way, and we are tired and thirsty. Seeing that it is going to rain again, we came to stay for a day. Please don't be offended by the girl!" Very vicious, but the tone and content of his words are orderly and polite.
After hearing this, the maid calmed down a little, said "I'll report it to the master" and turned around and ran away.
Xiao Yu stood outside the door and watched this scene without saying a word, but there was doubt in his eyes when he looked at the little maid.
Not long after, an old man on crutches walked over with the support of a very beautiful young girl. The little maid who opened the door for them followed behind the old man and girl.
The old man walked slowly to the door and said to everyone: "Are you here to stay overnight? Please come quickly! Please come quickly!"
After entering the hall, the old man ordered the little maid: "Go and ask the kitchen to hurry up and cook some good dishes to entertain a few guests."
Then both sides introduced themselves. The old man was the owner of this small manor, his surname was Li, and the beautiful girl supporting him was his granddaughter. According to Old Man Li, their family originally lived in a village more than ten miles away. However, due to the war, the young men were captured, and his sons and grandsons were all taken to the battlefield and never heard from again. Only he, an old man, and his granddaughter were left to hide in this deep mountain and old forest to avoid disaster.
These words made the three big men sympathize with each other. After the meal, after a few glasses of wine, Old Man Li said again: "Old Man, this granddaughter followed him and hid in the mountains and old forests. It is now the flowering season, but no one proposes marriage. Now we meet I have met several strong men, and I am heartbroken to see one of them as my son-in-law. I wonder which strong man is willing to marry his granddaughter?"
Miss Li next to her shyly covered half of her face with a handkerchief, but her charming eyes quietly cast a wink at the three men, and finally fixed her gaze on Xiao Yu.
******
Xiao Yu has been lowering his sense of presence. Feeling the fiery gaze falling on him, he raised his eyes and looked at Miss Li sitting opposite. A golden light flashed in his eyes, and Miss Li dropped her hand as if she was frightened. She was wearing a handkerchief, and there was still a bit of shock on her beautiful face.
The three big men who were distracted by Miss Li quickly asked with concern: "Miss Li, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Miss Li lowered her head so that no one could see her face clearly, and said weakly: "I'm fine. Thank you three brothers for your concern."
Hearing this thank you, the bones of the three big men were half weak.
Xiao Yu sat in her original position and fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand. Her eyes shifted from Miss Li to Old Man Li, and then looked strangely at the little maid serving beside her with a wine bottle.
At this time, the Qingyang Taoist sitting next to him quietly asked him: "Master, do you feel anything is wrong?"
Xiao Yu said calmly: "There is a demonic aura."
"Wha...what?" Taoist Qingyang was so frightened that he almost jumped up from his seat, but he managed to keep his composure and kept his voice very low. He did not reveal any big flaws as he was chatting enthusiastically with three big men. The grandfather and grandson of the Li family noticed.
The inheritance received by Qingyang Taoist Priest was incomplete, so he was only half-assed at conquering demons and demons. Some little demons and imps with shallow Taoism were fine, but he couldn't even see the more powerful demons and ghosts.
Taoist Qingyang felt something was wrong just now, but he was not fooled by Miss Li's beauty. He was very clear-headed and naturally noticed the flaw in Old Man Li's remarks just now. He didn't know if there was a village more than ten miles away, but he knew that there had been no war nearby in the past few years, and there would be no conscripts taking away the old man's son or grandson. Even if there was conscription, how could Old Man Li be so far away in the mountains? Why can't a family that built a beautiful little manor in the old forest spend money to erase their sons and grandsons from being drafted? And why did the Li family, who were so rich, not live in a town before, but in a village more than ten miles away?
These remarks were unreasonable, and the three big men who were so seduced by Miss Li's charming eyes did not notice it.
Qingyang Taoist Priest originally suspected that Lijiazhuang had some secrets, or was engaged in murder and smuggling. Unexpectedly, when he asked Xiao Yu, he actually got an answer about a monster!
He held the whisk in his hand tightly, desperately thinking of ways to escape. The monster that could make him unaware of the evil spirit must be very powerful. He had no idea of slaying the monster at all.
Taoist Qingyang looked at the young monk beside him. When he saw Master Kongjue's calm and composed expression, the panic and anxiety in his heart gradually calmed down. Judging from Master Kongjue's confident appearance, he should be fine, right?
In fact, for Xiao Yu, the two monsters, Old Man Li and Miss Li, were nothing. He had noticed the strong evil aura when he saw the manor here from a distance, and he came here just to get rid of the monsters. of. I just didn’t expect to meet Qingyang and the other four people.
When Xiao Yu opened the door to the small manor, he planned to get rid of the monster directly. However, he did not expect that the little maid who opened the door had a monster aura but she was not a monster. He hesitated, wanting to find out whether the little maid was a human or not. And whether anyone else in the manor would take action to avoid hurting ordinary innocent people.
In the past, Xiao Yu would not have paid too much attention to these issues. However, after practicing Buddhism for so many years, the kindness in his heart has become more obvious. Although he will not be as compassionate as the original owner Kong Jue, he can save people easily when he can. Under the circumstances, he didn't want to commit more crimes.
******
Now, seeing that the three big men who were targeted by the two monsters were about to turn against Miss Li, Xiao Yu couldn't sit still.
He stood up and said, "Amitabha! Three donors, please see clearly the true faces of these two monsters!"
"Buzz!"
A Buddhist sound fell, and the Buddha's light illuminated the entire manor. The two monsters immediately tore open the human skin and revealed their ferocious true colors - they were actually two wolf monsters!
"Buzz!"
Another Buddhist sound fell, and the two wolf monsters that were two or three meters high that rushed toward Xiao Yu were immediately suppressed by the Buddha's sound. The Buddha's light bound the wolf monsters tightly, and the two or three-meter-high wolf monsters were suppressed by the Buddha's light. It was about the size of an ordinary puppy, and its ferocious fangs were retracted into the wolf's mouth.
The Buddhist sound attack method that Xiao Yu just used is the eight-character mantra of Buddhism: "Om, Maha, Wisdom, Mou, Ye, Sa, Lie, De." This eight-character mantra contains strong power and is enough to suppress ordinary monsters. He only needed to use the first word "Om" to suppress the two little monsters in front of him who had practiced Taoism for hundreds of years.
Xiao Yu just stood there and said one word to the three big men and two words to the two wolf monsters. Then the two monsters that looked so evil before turned into dead dogs and lay on the ground. . Taoist priest Qingyang and the three big men were dumbfounded. When they came to their senses, they shouted thank you, Master, for saving their lives!
Xiao Yu didn't pay much attention to the gratitude of the four people. He walked to the little maid who was hiding in the corner and was so scared that she collapsed on the ground. He found that the strong demonic aura on the little maid's body was a little lighter. He had an idea and took it. He took out a bottle of Buddha water that had been consecrated in front of the Buddha and handed it to her: "Female donor, you have been living with those two evildoers for a long time, and your body is contaminated with evil spirits. I will give this bottle of Buddha water to you. You only need to Drink it three times a day and you will be able to pull out the demonic energy in three days.”
The frightened little maid finally came to her senses, took the Buddha water from Xiao Yu's hand with tears streaming down her face, and kowtowed with gratitude: "Thank you, holy monk, for saving me! Thank you, holy monk..."
After Xiao Yu listened to the little maid explain everything about Li Family Village, she almost understood the cause and effect of the contact.
It turns out that this small manor was indeed built here by a family named Li, but it was not to escape the war, but to escape from enemies. It's just that all the people in that household were eaten by two wolf demons. The human skins of the old man of the Li family and Miss Sun were peeled off by the two wolf demons and draped on their bodies to pretend that they stayed in Lijiazhuang to harm the travelers passing by.
The reason why the little maid was not eaten was because of good luck. The two wolf demons wanted to keep her alive to cover up their demonic aura, so they happened to keep her.
