Xianlu

Chapter 307
Xu Dao carefully reviewed the scenes where these vitality spots appeared, compared with the previous scenes of beheading ghosts and souls, trying to find out the difference between the two.

At the same time, he was also chewing on the contents of some Taoist books he had read, and gradually a word jumped out of his mind:

"Excessive?"

The light spots of vitality were not born after thousands of souls were beheaded by him, but left behind when they died in the heaven and earth after they were rescued by him.

According to some ancient records, in addition to catching ghosts and subjugating demons, the immortals in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty would also run some rituals and even hold magic conferences. birds and beasts.

The function is to appease the souls of the dead, calm the grievances, make them dissipate peacefully, and reduce pain, so that no evil things will appear.

Such actions are collectively referred to as "surpassing".

And Xu Dao's previous behavior seemed to be similar to the act of superseding.

It's just that since he practiced, most of the spells he has seen are refining souls, forcing souls, and creating grievances. He only wants to transform ordinary souls into ghosts and use them for his own use, but does not appease the dead souls and reduce the suffering of the dead. , so he doesn't know the truth.

Fortunately, since it is mentioned in some Taoist classics, it seems that this kind of magic should exist.

Xu Dao secretly said in his heart: "Erhai Taoist Palace has been passed down for thousands of years. It is said that there are so many ancient books and spells that there are as many types of spells as stars. Even if it is just a lie, there should be something impressive. You can search for one or two."

But he still has some concerns.

"If it is true that you can get vitality points just by superseding the dead souls, vitality will help increase the soul, and the immortals in the world will definitely not let this way go, and it will not make the supernatural soul magic become unheard of. There may be secrets in it..."

With a clue, after a few thoughts, Xu Dao took his attention back from the supernatural spells. If he wanted to find out whether it was true or false, he had to get the corresponding spells first. This could only be done after the official After entering the Taoist palace, make specific plans.

However, his eyes gradually settled down.

"Today the mountain ghost saves people, one is to refine the baby mountain ghost, and the other is to get a glimpse of the vitality of the soul. The former is not a small chance, and the latter may be an even bigger chance."

Xu Dao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to himself like a sigh:

"I didn't expect that saving the souls of mere mortals would have such benefits."

Ordinary people are no more than a hundred years old, weak and sick, their strength is not as good as an ox, their food is not as good as a pig, their skin membrane is useless, and their muscles and bones are not very strong.

Therefore, in the eyes of many Taoists, apart from being human beings, their value is on the same level as that of livestock and beasts, far lower than that of monsters and beasts, spiritual grasses and elixir.

Only in the eyes of Taoists like the black-faced ghosts, because mortals can give birth to resentment and are born with souls, which can be used to refine evil spells and elixirs, do they think that mortals have some value and can be compared with low-level monster spirit grass , for practice.

But in any case, from the perspective of cultivators, once they have passed the realm of Taoist children with fetal breath and entered Qi refining, they will be different from Tao to mortal from then on, no matter how many mortals there are, how they grow, how they die, It has nothing to do with them.

Except for Xu Dao who also likes to live in the mortal hotel from time to time, most other Taoists live in isolation.Even if many ghost markets are set up in densely populated places, Taoists rarely interact with ordinary people.

And if it weren't for the existence of demon swindlers, the evil plague in Wu country would have been even more serious.Even now, it seems that there may be something else going on even with the demon swindler.

Thinking of these, Xu Dao let out a sigh of relief.

In fact, even he himself, after experiencing all kinds of things and seeing many scenes of mortals spinning to death, couldn't help but despise mortals in his heart.

If he spends all day helping the poor and saving mortals, not only will his own practice be delayed, but once he leaves, the mortals he rescued will fall into a precarious situation and be easily killed by ghosts.

There is no other reason, weakness is the original sin.

Of course, this doesn't mean that he won't do the good things that are easy to do when he encounters evil things, it's just that he doesn't know how to take the initiative to do them.

But now I found out that the scene in Zhishui County inspired Xu Dao, maybe doing good deeds and saving ordinary people is not without profit!
This made Xu Dao'er whisper in his heart.

In fact, early in the morning, he set the principle of "doing good and accumulating virtue", but it was only implemented in practice, just thinking about stabilizing the Taoist heart and not doing evil things.

Now, firstly, he experienced the despair of tens of thousands of tragic deaths, and found out that it is profitable to save the souls of the dead. He immediately recalled the feeling when he was flying clouds and raining.

And he was still vigilant in his heart: "In today's world, demons and ghosts are rampant everywhere, Taoists are making trouble, and there are countless acts of treating people as animals. In such an atmosphere, if you don't do something, it should be extremely difficult to truly be alone. "

This is not Xu Dao's unfounded worry, but the reality he had to recognize after he lost his fantasy about the Wu court.

He closed his eyes slightly, his eyelids trembled, and thoughts roiled in his mind, as if he was making some difficult decision.

Not long after, Xu Dao finally opened his eyes, and sighed softly: "Forget it, since it is profitable, from now on, we must really help the poor and the needy, and don't go with the bad."

Although his tone was a little helpless, the fighting spirit in his heart was strong.

If it wasn't for his lack of strength, Xu Dao almost wanted to say that he wanted to clean up the entire Wu country, and if the court of Wu country couldn't do it well, he would do it!
At the same time, for some reason, after seriously making this decision, Xu Dao suddenly felt healthy, and his whole body revealed a sense of relaxation, so he simply got up and started pacing.

Walking in the col, he found that after the flesh and blood of the corpses were deeply buried, the bloody smell around him had been completely blown away, and the mountain wind was cold.

Xu Dao suddenly remembered a line of poem: "Because of the great ambition of sacrifice, dare to change the sun and the moon into a new sky."

Looking up at the sky, he found that in the moonless sky, the black clouds were blown away, and the mottled moonlight fell down, making the surroundings brighter and no longer dark.

Seeing this scene, Xu Dao immediately burst out laughing, and said:

"This moonlight is not enough, it needs to be brighter!"

As soon as he flicked his sleeves, he saw that sword energy shot out from his whole body, and he flew into the moon sky with a long howl.

To the sky, the moonlight is more intense.

Xu Dao flicked his sleeves again, and the surrounding clouds began to stir wildly and spread out for several miles. As a result, the thick moonlight fell on the barren hills, illuminated the renovated ground, and spread.

………………

After dealing with the matter on the barren mountain, Xu Dao first returned to the town of Zhishui County, took back the fangs that had been released, and traveled around the entire county together, killing all the remaining ghosts around.

Instead of accepting the gratitude from the remaining people of Zhishui County, he took a few glances in the air, quietly dropped a few pills for promoting muscle and blood circulation into the large boiling water tank, and then flew away from this place, heading for Wu The capital flew away.

There is no need to say much about the return journey, and nothing happened again, and he went straight all the way and arrived near Wudu City.

After entering the city, Xu Dao didn't choose to go to the demon hall to hand over the task. He already knew that the disaster in Zhishui County was inseparable from Wu Guoteng's edict, so he naturally didn't want to go forward to join in the fun.

When he just accepted the task, he didn't show his real face, nor did he show his cultivation, so no one should find out about him.

As for the reward after completing the mission, not to mention that he just got the purse of the black-faced ghost, the reason why he accepted this mission was mainly to catch the ghost, and he didn't pay much attention to the reward, so he generously gave up the reward , I worked for a while for free at the Swinging Demon Hall.

It took a little more effort, Xu Dao spent all the money of the black-faced ghost in the ghost market in Wudu City, and even sold the other pair of copper bells. As for what he got, it was naturally a large amount spiritual material.

As soon as he was done, Xu Dao had already achieved the purpose of this trip, so he returned home with a full load, directly stepped into the Erhai Lake, and rushed towards his cave.

Returning to the cave without any danger, he didn't rest for a long time, and began to arrange better formations non-stop, as well as expand the space of the cave, arrange the layout, and make it convenient for him to live and use.

On this day, Xu Dao sat cross-legged in the cave, with water flowing all over his body, carrying a trace of aura, fresh and full of rhythm, giving people a great sense of comfort.

Although he is meditating, he is not practicing, but immersing his consciousness in the profound orifice, which is the space he regards as the inner world.

I saw that the inner world was like a chicken, which was originally less than one foot, but under Xu Dao's cultivation in recent days, it has become more than one foot in size, but there is not much light, and it is still dim.

Except for the Ghost Altar of Seven Returns and Nine Lives placed in it, Xu Dao didn't put too many things in it for the time being, because the scope was too small after all.

Instead, after studying for a few days and gradually becoming familiar with the inner world, he left his most precious thing in the inner world.

This thing is the uncharacterized talisman, which has been disguised as ordinary talisman paper, or kept close to the body, or placed in a magic weapon, and it has been looked at from time to time. Now it finally has a safe place to store it. Move again.

This is because the inner world is not only condensed and opened up by Xu Dao's spirit, without his permission, no foreign objects can enter it.It is because once a foreign object enters it, the other party cannot escape.

In the process of exploring the inner world, Xu Dao discovered that he was like a god to the living creatures in the inner world. He could not only detain the other party, but even drive the other party to end his life by himself.

The weaker the strength, the more unable to resist his ideas.

In other words, once a living creature enters Xu Dao's inner world, the other party will just let him slaughter him, unable to survive or die.

Of course, if there is a living creature whose realm is too high, and he still collects it into the inner world, not to mention whether it can be included, even if it is successfully collected, the other party can destroy everything in the inner world, or even break the door and kill it. out.

In such a situation, Xu Dao is prepared to never earn existences whose strength is higher than his, except for those who are disabled.

But at this time, he focused on the inner world, and he was looking at a tooth and hundreds of scales on the ghost altar.

The demon blood and demon flesh full of aura were being devoured by the pile of teeth and scales. After they were devoured, they shook one after another, wriggling, and turned into hideous insects.

The big worm merged into the other nine generals, while the small worms formed a group alone, flying and playing on their own.

Xu Dao looked at the group of tooth generals in Inner Heaven and Earth, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes, "Not only are there ten tooth generals in the late stage of Qi refining, but there are also hundreds of scale soldiers that can be used as early warning for exploration."

These days, the main thing he has been busy in the cave is feeding these generals and scaling soldiers, endowing them with spiritual wisdom.

In order to raise a dental general to the late stage of Qi refining, his newly obtained property was exhausted. Compared with using foundation building materials to implant dental generals, the materials of Qi refining level are really insufficient, and the result is twice the result with half the effort .

Fortunately, the result was gratifying, Xu Daoxin got a Ya Jiang who could be used in the late stage of Qi refining, and with the few heads he had cultivated in advance, the Ya Jiang could besiege and kill the Taoist priests in the early stage of foundation establishment by himself.

As for the remaining hundreds of scale soldiers, they can serve as his eyes and ears, peeping and exploring the surroundings.

For some reason, besides being able to occupy the bodies of the generals at any time, Xu Dao also has a spiritual connection with these soldiers. With a sweep of his consciousness, he can obtain the memories in the generals' brains and order them.

Xu Dao felt that controlling the tooth general and scale soldiers in this way was not only much more convenient than ghost soldiers and skeleton soldiers, but also stronger than the former Nanke gnats.

He is indeed the Taoist soldier who has spent so much effort!
Xu Dao did not forget the reason why he was in a hurry to raise Dao soldiers.The reason why he counted troops and generals today to form a general army is because the hundred days has come and his enemy will leave the customs.

Before entering the Taoist Palace, Taoist Priests of the Five Orders, especially Taoist Lei Zhao among them, would definitely attack Xu Dao, intending to break his way and seek revenge.

Thinking of this, Xu Dao's expression turned stern, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

When refining Taoist soldiers before, he was only thinking about self-defense, but now that his teeth and scales are ready, and his wisdom is full of wisdom, he is ready to take the initiative to attack.

Not only for the Wuzhao tribe, before Xu Dao entered the Dao Palace, it was a great opportunity for them to get rid of Xu Dao.For Xu Dao, it is also a good opportunity for him to get rid of Taoist Lei Zhao.

"Over the past few days, people have really been looking for me near the Baichuan Water Dock. I don't know if they have been looking for me for a hundred days, or if they only started in the past few days."

Xu Dao sorted it out in his heart: "But it's just right, most of them will come into contact with the Taoist priest of Lei Zhao. At that time, I can follow the vine to find the trace of Taoist priest Lei Zhao and kill him."

With intelligent teeth and scale soldiers in hand, spies and sentry horses are ready, which can greatly expand the range of Xu Dao's eyes and ears, so that he can easily search for enemies on the sea and lie in ambush.

This time, it won't be him who promised someone to be besieged, but Taoist Lei Zhao who will be besieged by him.

After sorting it out again and again, Xu Dao was ready, and immediately left the water mansion, approaching the direction of Baichuan Water Dock...
