Chapter 357: This monkey demon is ugly, but he plays like a flower. Lu Xingshi also learned that this middle-aged Taoist named Song Fang was a Taoist from the Luofu Sect.
The sects in this world do not belong to big landowners like the sects in the martial arts world. Because it is difficult to enter Taoism, and one has to screen for factors such as character and temperament, most monastic sects actually do not have many people, with as many as ten or so people, and as few as nothing. It's just a single pass.
It is not a powerful force that can interfere with the world, but more like a group of organizations that inherit their own traditions.
If one can be called Taoist, tracing back to the source can find the ancestor who became an immortal or a god, or even a powerful preacher.
So don’t just look at people’s downfall and think about stepping on them. Not only do they have people above them, but they also have people below them.
Like Song Fang, he has only been in Taoism for ten years, and before that he was just a mortal.
Fortunately, in cultivating Taoism in this world, although qualifications are important, qualifications are not the most important. Age is not the key, and there are many people who have become enlightened and ascended in one day.
But now I can't get out. After the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth and the Evil Age of Five Turbidities, heaven and earth are separated. No matter whether I ascend to heaven and become a god or go to the underworld to become a ghost, there is no other way.
There is not much difference between immortals and gods, they belong to the same system.
"Fellow Daoist Song, it's best if you don't get involved in this matter. Neither of the two parties is a cheap person." After gathering a lot of information from the other party, Lu Xingshi began to persuade the other party to run away.
However, Song Fang shook his head: "According to what Lu Daoyou said, this matter is indeed the fault of the villagers of Jiuchun Village. However, how can I watch these hundreds of people die at the hands of the evil ghost?"
The swelling on Song Fang's face had subsided. He took an unknown pill and rubbed some medicinal wine, and his face naturally recovered.
Lu Xingshi could also see from this that when it comes to immortals, they don't seem to be very immortal. Instead, they are like classical myths and are very down-to-earth. However, if you really start to use them, they will give you a very bad feeling.
Just like the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, the weight in the description is 13,500 kilograms, which is nothing in modern times.
But this cannot be understood with common sense in Xianxia.
Song Fang was beaten into a pig's head by Lu Xingshi, but that didn't stop him from being able to use flying swords and turn himself into a rainbow, especially the latter. In the martial arts world, Lu Xingshi couldn't do it before he became the Great Red Emperor. This seems to involve material things. transformation, use of energy, etc.
Especially when the energy environment is so scarce, the opponent can still release powerful spells.
“When a thought occurs in a human heart, all heaven and earth know it.”
"If there is no reward for good and evil, there will be selfishness in everything."
"They help the tyrants commit crimes and kill people. Just because there are many people, you and I go to protect them."
"Then what if they do greater evil in the future?" Lu Xingshi quoted a poem from Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West" and warned.
It would be fine if the opera singer really did something outrageous, but obviously the crime would not lead to death.
Furthermore, they are not out for justice, but simply want to curry favor.
"Don't try to persuade me about this matter. I have my own plans." Song Fang was very decisive.
Lu Xingshi didn't have many surprises. If it was so easy to convince the other party, then wouldn't he have been practicing Taoism for ten years like a dog?
Seeing this, Lu Xingshi could only shake his head: "That's fine, it's up to you."
He definitely won't get involved in this matter, even if he tried to persuade her, since he doesn't appreciate it, then so be it.
"If you need help, I will stay in Wangchao Mansion for a while in the next few days. Fellow Taoist Song can come to see me. I will help you if I can." Lu Xingshi handed over his hand and left directly after speaking.
Naturally, he made it clear that within a certain period of time, he would definitely help those who could. If the time passed or he was unable to help, you would have to bear the responsibility yourself.
"If necessary, I will definitely come to see fellow Taoist Lu." Song Fang naturally did not force him. When Lu Xingshi saw such a thing, it was common sense for him to protect himself wisely.
The two parted ways, and it is unknown whether they will meet again.
Lu Xingshi didn't think Song Fang could break out of this whirlpool.
This matter is obviously not as simple as it seems.
We soon found the official road. The road was peaceful and nothing happened.
"My guest, please stop and have a drink. We brew the finest rice wine."
On the roadside, a man shouted to Lu Xingshi.
Lu Xingshi stopped and looked at the man seriously.
There was something strange on his face.
The Disha Dao Fruit Tongyou gave him the ability to see through illusions, so he could tell at a glance that the man buying wine was not a human being at all, but a monkey with a painted face and a loose robe.
As he spoke, the other party filled a bowl of blood-red liquid with a gourd made from a thigh bone, and used a human skull to hold the wine.
"Sir, please give it a try. I've been running a stall here for two years. It doesn't cost any money." The painted-faced monkey came closer and said.
"If you don't want to drink, please wait a moment." Lu Xingshi stretched out his hand and pushed. Although it was blessed by illusion, it was useless to him, so the taste was really unacceptable: "You can open this place for two years, what kind of business can you do? Isn’t this a pure loss every day?”
"The guest is joking. I am not afraid of the deep alley because of the aroma of wine. It's just that the guest came a little late today, otherwise the guest would have to queue up."
"Look, this is the only thing left in my big tank today." The painted-faced monkey said, and showed Lu Xingshi its wine tank. There was indeed only a thin layer of blood left in it, and there was not even a trace of blood left in it. The human and animal bones piled underneath can be seen. The demon not only eats people, but also eats the animals and plants in the mountains.
Seeing this, Lu Xingshi shook his head.
"Don't drink, don't drink. I don't like drinking." Lu Xingshi refused directly.
He was actually a little surprised that this painted-faced monkey could openly engage in cannibalism on the roadside.
There is indeed the influence of the five turbid evils in this world. Good things disappear and evil things rise, leading to the proliferation of monsters, but it is not so upright, right? Are you afraid that you will meet a wandering Taoist and take it away?
Lu Xingshi estimated the strength of this painted-faced monkey. In close combat, Song Fang would definitely not be his opponent, but in real fighting, he could kill the painted-faced monkey with a flying sword.
As for Lu Xingshi, it's true that he doesn't have magic, but he is good at fists and kicks.
When the painted-faced monkey heard Lu Xingshi's rejection, a fierce light appeared in his eyes.
"Sir, my wine is famous all over the country. If you miss it and want to drink it again, it will be difficult." As he spoke, the painted-faced monkey opened most of his mouth and faced Lu Xingshi The head is about to be chewed over.
As a result, it found that its mouth could not be closed.
Lu Xingshi held its upper and lower jaws with his left and right hands and forcefully opened them.
Severe pain came through, which made the painted-faced monkey wave his hands in pain, trying to get away.
Gaba~
The sound was very clear. Lu Xingshi’s whole face of the painted-faced monkey was broken in half, and the entire head was torn off.
"Let's just chat, and you still want to kiss me, bah!" Lu Xingshi said in disgust.
The painted-faced monkey is not dead yet, but it will be soon. This thing's vitality is indeed tenacious.
It seemed to want to say something, but because most of its face was gone, it could only gesture with its hands. Unfortunately, its vitality was not strong enough, and the monkey died before it could finish the gesture.
Lu Xingshi suddenly felt a bit of golden light falling next to the roots of the hibiscus tree, the spiritual root of heaven and earth.
This is a merit, little, but very useful.
It's a pity that the Xianxia DLC is a hand-made game without an achievement system, otherwise maybe there could be an achievement mixed in.
Lu Xingshi casually poured this golden light onto the hibiscus tree. At the same time, a few buds were pulled out from a certain position of the hibiscus tree. The buds of the Disha Dao Fruit... still need to grow and then bloom and bear fruit. .
It is estimated that this Earth Evil Dao Fruit requires one hundred points of merit.
"Although the evil world of the Five Turbidities is a calamity, it is also an opportunity. It is not so easy to obtain merit in ordinary times."
According to the information provided by Song Fang, under normal circumstances, the merit obtained by killing a demon that caused trouble in the hometown is not even one-tenth of what it was this time, but now it has increased nearly ten times.
This can be considered as clearing karma.
After Lu Xingshi finished, he began to touch the corpse.
It was the things he touched that made him doubt his life.
"No, why do you, a monkey, have this thing? And the pictures on it are people???" Lu Xingshi looked at this picture album that cannot be viewed by those under 18 years old, and for a while he didn't know how to complain.
If the painting inside was a monkey, then Lu Xingshi would be able to understand it. After all, the painted-faced monkey is a monkey, and it is normal to like to see monkeys.
But if there are people inside, then this is very problematic, just like people falling in love with dogs...it doesn't seem impossible.
Taking a closer look, the woman in the picture album seemed a bit familiar, maybe he had seen her somewhere.
As soon as he recalled it, his expression became filled with "f*ck".
"Isn't this the actor who became a water ghost?"
"I almost didn't recognize him because he was wearing clothes." Lu Xingshi's expression became more and more frightening.
He had previously speculated that the adulterous story of the opera star Water Ghost was not false. Otherwise, if he had been slandered, he would have turned into an irrational evil spirit and taken over the whole village. How could he wait for Song Fang to come to the rescue.
"So your concubine is a monkey, what kind of hell is this?" Lu Xingshi felt that his three views were indeed a bit wrong.
Just like the one in the album, it would have been impossible to draw such a detailed and lifelike painting if the opera water ghost had not cooperated during his lifetime.
"Jiuchun Village is probably the blood food raised by water ghosts and painted-faced monkeys, but it has just been established."
The first thought that came to Lu Xingshi's mind was this idea. If it had been established long ago, the water ghost and the painted monkey must have noticed the arrival of Lu Xingshi and Song Fang.
Later, Lu Xingshi began to dissect the painted-faced monkey. He was still very interested in demons.
"No wonder you can hook up with an opera actress, Pan Lu and Deng Xiaoxian, you are really extraordinary." Lu Xingshi glanced and found the reason why these two could hook up. It doesn't matter if they are ugly, it doesn't matter if they are not human, it's easy to use That's it.
The scholar is probably just a fancy thing, otherwise the actor could get along with the painted-faced monkey.
"I thought it was a frame-up, but I didn't expect to find out the truth. Fortunately, this scholar is not a good person. They fell in love and killed each other."
