Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 189 188, Great Harvest!Arrived in the capital
"Fa, mage... you called me?"

Bai Shishi pinched the corners of her clothes, and stood in front of Shen Lang anxiously, very worried that he would suddenly slap her hand and slap her brains, so as to make up the achievement of destroying the seven spider sisters—anyway, Bai Shishi I have seen this kind of people with obsessive-compulsive disorder. No matter what they collect, they have to get it all together, otherwise they will be anxious and have trouble sleeping and eating.

If Fahai is also this kind of person, wouldn't she already have a big "dangerous" character engraved on her forehead?
When he was feeling uneasy, he saw Shen Lang squinting his eyes, looking her up and down for a while, and said leisurely:
"Among the officials in the Luling Mansion, who have never colluded with the Seven Spider Sisters?"

Hearing this, Bai Shishi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly replied:
"Fu Zun and Fu Cheng are both low-level officials. Although they have received regular donations from the Luling Chamber of Commerce and Xiangshan Tea House, they have nothing to do with the Spider Sisters. The Spider Sisters will not be transferred in a few years. Work hard on the official."

Shen Lang nodded slightly, and asked again:
"How many 'spider slaves' are there in Tianxiangshe Manor? How many normal people are there, and they are not deeply involved in the matter of the spider sisters?"

Bai Shishi said: "There are still more than ten spider slaves. The other maids and servants are just ordinary people hired as cover, and they don't know anything about the spider sisters."

"If you return to your original appearance, can you order the remaining spider slaves?"

"can."

"Can you transfer all the people in the martial arts and government officials who have been corrupted by the spider sisters and controlled by them here?"

"This requires the elder sister's warrant. But I know where her seal is kept, so I can forge the warrant."

"Okay." Shen Lang nodded with satisfaction: "You first summon all the spider slaves to me, and capture them alive as witnesses. Then go and call all those who have been corrupted by the spider sisters. If you do this well, I will count you Significant meritorious performance."

Bai Shishi nodded solemnly:
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter well."

Shen Lang hummed and said:
"You know how to undo the curse, restore yourself to your original face, and go to work."

At present, Bai Shishi silently recited five voices of Venerable Liuli's Dharma name, unraveled the spell of "All Beings", restored her original appearance, and went out to summon the spider slaves.

Shen Lang looked at the shivering sacrifices with a smile on his face, uttered a Buddha's name, and said leisurely:
"All benefactors, little monk Fa Hai is very polite."

A daring warrior bit the bullet and asked:

"The mage is polite. I don't know how the mage...how to deal with us?"

Shen Lang smiled and said:
"Everyone, don't panic. This little monk is an upright monk. This trip is for subduing demons. Now that all the witches have been killed, all the benefactors will be fine. But I still need to wrong the benefactors to stay here for a while After the little monk captures the witch's minions one by one, all of you still need to be a witness for the little monk in front of the mansion."

Everyone nodded again and again, hastily agreed:

"It should be, it should be!"

It wasn't until this time that everyone came to their senses—this little monk is evil by nature, and his methods are more cruel and cunning than the witches, and he can even control evil spirits, but he really saved us!
If he hadn't acted in time, all the people present would have been slaughtered by Lin Meng and other witches in front of the altar and sacrificed to the demon god "Spider Mother".

Thinking about the situation when Wu Xiao cut his throat neatly before "Master Void", the witches would not have the slightest pity for them, they would kill them as soon as they said they would kill a chicken.

At that moment, someone hurriedly bowed to the ground:
"The mage's life-saving grace can't be repaid, please accept the next obeisance!"

Another scholar of considerable wealth bowed to him and said:

"I don't know which temple the master is practicing? Students are willing to donate golden Buddha statues to the master..."

Others hurriedly bowed and saluted, thanking those who thanked them, and those who pledged their donations.

Shen Lang accepted everyone's thanks with a smile, and said to the few wealthy people who pledged to donate temples and golden bodies:
"It's fine to donate the temple and the golden body. The young monk travels around the world and has no plans to set up a temple to practice. It's better to discount it."

Discount?

The rich men looked at each other for a while, then nodded again and again:

"Okay, okay, let's discount it! Xiao Ke has a bank note with a 'Huitong number' on her body. The Huitong number is an imperial bank ticket number, and can be exchanged for cash in any prefecture in Chu..."

"The students' money is stored in the gold and silver shop in Fucheng. When they return to Fucheng, the students will go to withdraw money from the mage..."

……

after one day.

An ordinary carriage quietly left the Luling prefecture city and drove up the official road to the capital.

Shen Lang sat in the carriage, flipping through books of martial arts cheats.

Shen Lang reaped a great harvest for eradicating the Seven Spider Sisters this time. Not only did he get a "donation" of more than 5000 silver dollars, but he also seized a large number of martial arts cheats.

The secrets of martial arts include: Zhenshan Palm, Pansi Tianluo, Broken Jade Hand, Chasing Wind and Electric Kick, Melting Iron Broken Gold Hand, Thunderbolt Knife, etc., a total of more than ten exercises.

Among them, the exercises practiced by the seven sisters such as Zhenshanzhang, Pansi Tianluo, and Suiyushou are all second-grade exercises—it’s a pity that the "Spider Mother" has no good intentions and hangs the seven sisters with exercises. To the fourth product.

The exercises of the third and second ranks were not rewarded at all, and the seven sisters had to exchange more sacrifices.

But even if the highest level is only given to the fourth rank, so many exercises are still very valuable to Shen Lang.

Not only can it enrich his martial arts methods, but it also provides more martial arts materials for the "Monster Taming Art Little Moon".

And as long as there are enough martial arts skills as reference materials, "Monster Taming Art Little Moon" can deduce the level of skills to a higher level.

Now Shen Lang already has three third-rank cheat books: Ten Steps One Kill, Eight Directions Earthquake, and Xuan Bing Jin.There are also a large number of fourth-rank secrets for reference, and although Buddhist martial arts do not have "fundamental skills", only authentic secret martial arts moves, they can barely be used as a reference.

With Shen Lang's current data reserves, if "Monster Taming Jue Little Moon" suspends the production of "Emperor Fluid" and fully deduces the martial arts cheats, it won't take long for him to obtain a kung fu that directly points to the second rank.

However, for martial arts practice, it is necessary to condense the "Zhen Qi Seed" before it can be regarded as the truly unchangeable foundation.

Before that, as long as you have enough talent, you can practice multiple exercises at will to find the path that suits you best.

Of course, it is the right only for martial arts geniuses to practice multiple martial arts.

For an idle warrior, it is difficult to practice a single skill to the depth, so how can he have the energy to practice more?

Even ordinary little geniuses like Yan Wufeng and Wu Tianhong are very afraid of being proficient in general, and basically only specialize in one subject.

Only great geniuses and super geniuses have the talent and energy to learn more.

As for Shen Lang, a super genius who is rare in a millennium, the more exercises the better.

In short, Shen Lang doesn't even reach the fifth rank of Martial Dao now, and he doesn't know how long it will be until he condenses the seeds of true energy, and he hasn't fully determined his path yet, so he doesn't need any skills above the third rank for the time being.

Besides, if you can get more martial arts cheats for reference in the future, the deduced skills will naturally be more powerful. If it is true, there is no need to rush to start deduction now.

After scanning and recording these more than ten martial arts cheats, the cheat book can be regarded as a credit and handed over to Shenchaotang. At that time, it can be exchanged for more martial arts cheats, or gold and silver goods, or cultivation resources.

Speaking of cultivation resources, this time there were no miraculous medicines or treasures of heaven and earth seized.

After asking Bai Shishi, I found out that the seven spider sisters do not need any panacea or natural treasures to practice. They only need to sacrifice to the spider mother, and the spider mother will give feedback on the spot, empowering the spider sisters and improving their cultivation. .

In short, the gift of "Spider Mother" has never been real.

Mysteries and cultivation bases are all directly empowered.

Martial arts are also taught directly through empowerment, and the cheats are all copied by the spider sisters themselves.

It is precisely because the spider mother never, or "couldn't" give anything in kind, that Lin Meng didn't even have a fourth-grade sword.

Although these more than ten exercises and secret books can be regarded as a bumper harvest, and they can be exchanged for a lot of credit and resources, but Shen Lang still feels a little regretful that he did not get the sustainable regeneration of natural materials and earthly treasures.

When he was flipping through the cheat book, he was wearing a water-red shirt, and Bai Shishi, who had changed his figure and appearance, asked him a little uneasily:

"Young master, we just left quietly like this? Is it appropriate to leave all the aftermath to the Fu Zun and Fu Cheng?"

"You are 'Ah Zhu' now, you should call me Uncle Qiao."

Shen Lang, who also changed his body and appearance and used the spell of "all living beings" to pretend to be a strong and strong man in his 30s, first reminded Bai Shishi a little, and then continued:

"Since Fu Zun, Fu Cheng and Spider Sisters are not implicated, all officials and captors corrupted by Spider Sisters in the Fu Ya have been captured, and there are so many witnesses, physical evidence, and ready-made demon altars, Fu Zun , Fu Cheng must of course handle this case seriously. I showed them something, and they would never dare to hide anything about it."

What he showed to the Fu Zun and Fu Cheng was of course the God Catch Hall badge that Mu Qingxue gave him.

Shining this waist card, Shen Lang doesn't need to say anything, Luling Mansion Master and Mansion Cheng will naturally handle the aftermath work honestly, and investigate the cause and effect of the case of the Seven Spider Sisters blood sacrifice to the Demon God. Then obediently escort the case file and a criminal who intervened in the case to the God of Arrest.

In addition, Shen Lang also informed the Fu Zun of the buried place of "Hydralisk" as a secret agent of the Shencatching Hall.The aftermath was also entrusted to him.

There was such a big mess under his own rule. Although the "Seven Spider Sisters" had already started activities before the current Fuzun took office, if someone with a heart caught this matter and persisted, the current Fuzun would still be very passive.

Furthermore, the Fu Zun did receive the regular filial piety from the Luling Chamber of Commerce and the Xiangshan Tea House. In order not to be caught in the pigtails, no matter how much Shen Lang asked, the Fu Zun could only hold his nose and agree to the things he explained. Done properly.

"Then my business..."

"Don't worry, if I personally take you to the Shenchuitang, your great meritorious service will not be ambiguous."

After a pause, Shen Lang said earnestly again:

"But you have committed a serious crime after all. If you can avoid death this time, you will have to reform and be a new person in the future. If you can't avoid death... I can also guarantee that after your death, the soul will never fall into the hands of the spider mother .”

Bai Shishi smiled:

"Then I'll thank you first. By the way, isn't the matter resolved? The sea arrest document issued by Luling Mansion has also been withdrawn. Why do we continue to disguise our identities?"

Of course it was because I performed Buddhist spells in public, revealing my identity as a "Buddhist Dharma Cultivator".If this matter is known by the mastermind behind the "Great Adventure of the Yifu", it may link me with "Qin Shubao"!

Walking in the rivers and lakes, safety first.Even if it is only possible, it needs to be cautious.

After all, the mastermind behind the scenes is a first-rank Daoist.

In short, before arriving at the capital and seeing Yan Tianying, Fa Hai's identity could no longer be used.

If the real identity can not be exposed, it is best not to be exposed.

In case someone covets the black market reward of [-] silver dollars and comes to trouble me.

Of course, Shen Lang would not say these words to Bai Shishi, and only said a little:
"Don't ask more questions than you should."

Bai Shishi pouted, said "Oh" resentfully, was silent for a while, and couldn't help it anymore, she grabbed the corner of her clothes and said:
"The souls of Eldest Sister and the others... should have arrived at Spider Mother's side by now."

Shen Lang hummed lightly, "I'm not capable of beating people to death. Lin Meng and the others' souls naturally went to the Spider Mother's side. Now, they may have been eaten by the Spider Mother."

Bai Shishi shuddered, a flash of fear flashed in her eyes, and said in a low voice:
"Then, let's say I'm going to die. Before I die, you must help me undo the brand of restriction on the Primordial Spirit!"

Shen Lang glared at her:
"It's reassuring you, why are you still worrying so much? Why, can't you trust me?"

Bai Shishi forced a smile:
"It's not that I can't trust you. It's just that the consequences are so serious, how can I easily feel at ease!"

Shen Lang said seriously:
"You have seen Venerable Liuli with your own eyes, what else is there to worry about? At worst, I will ask Venerable Liuli to help. Could it be that she is a majestic first-rank Daoist, and can't break the restriction of your primordial spirit?"

"But the spider mother is a demon god..."

Shen Lang laughed heartily:
"However, gods, demons and immortals cannot come to this world in real body. On the earth, in this world, the first rank is the most respected!"

Saying that, he raised his hand and patted Bai Shishi's shoulder lightly:

"Trust me, it will be fine!"

Bai Shishi bit her lip and hummed lightly, then nodded vigorously.

The carriage fell silent, and Shen Lang continued to look through the cheat books.

In fact, all the cheats have been scanned by Little Moon of the Monster Taming Art and transmitted into Shen Lang's mind. Shen Lang has already mastered the secrets of the exercises and thoroughly comprehended them. Now he is flipping through the book just to deepen his impression.

Flipping through several volumes of secret books in a row, Shen Lang closed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his right hand, the palm of his hand trembled slightly, and after he calmed down, he trembled again after a while.

After shaking intermittently for a few times, Shen Lang suddenly stimulated his inner strength, and the skin and flesh of his palm vibrated at a high speed without stopping, stirring the air around his palm, turning it into a breeze, blowing out from his palm.

Seeing this, Bai Shishi's eyes widened in disbelief:
"Mountain-shaking palm? You, you have mastered the mountain-shaking palm?"

After Lin Meng got the spider mother empowerment to teach Zhenshan Palm, he practiced for more than three months before he was able to get started.

And it's only been one day for Shen Lang to get the Zhenshan Palm cheat book, yet he has already mastered it?

Shen Lang chuckled:
"This Mountain Shaking Palm is not difficult."

As he said that, the skin of his palm became red again, like burning coals, and the palm radiated scorching heat.

"Melting iron into golden hands!" Bai Shishi exclaimed: "You have actually mastered the Yan family's unique skill!"

Shen Lang looked calm and breezy:
"No need to make a fuss, it's simple."

While speaking, his five fingers trembled, ghosting afterimages, and making whistling sounds. Although he didn't exert any strength, his five fingers were pinched and flicked. " perception.

Bai Shishi didn't make any fuss anymore, but murmured numbly:

"Pansi Tianluo..."

Shen Lang smiled, changed his technique again, the skin of his palm became as white as jade, and lightly slapped forward, the air in front of his palm slammed, exploding an air ripple visible to the naked eye, as if an invisible bomb had detonated.

Bai Shishi's eyes were dull and her tone was erratic:

"Smashing Jade Hand..."

Shen Lang laughed, put down his palms, and didn't practice martial arts to stimulate her, just asked her:
"What's your claw method called, can you teach me?"

"Picking the Star Claw." Bai Shishi said with a blank expression, "It is said that it has been practiced to the highest level, and even the stars in the sky can be picked off. But anyway, I can only pick off people's hearts. Do you really want to learn? This claw skill is very... "

She originally wanted to say that this claw technique is cruel and does not suit your temperament as a Buddhist monk.

But thinking about the death methods of the spider sisters, especially the death methods of Yunwei and Yue Ling'er, she felt that her claw method was too gentle, so she just took her heart and soul out, and at least it could still save people. a whole body.

I didn't bother to talk much at the moment, I recited the key points of "Picking the Star Claw" from the beginning to the end.

After reciting, seeing Shen Lang resting his chin with his hand, looking like he was deep in thought, she couldn't help asking:
"What's the use of learning so many martial arts? You are a Buddhist practitioner. Don't you Dharma practitioners always look down on warriors?"

Speaking of this, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Concentrating on the eyebrows for a while, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he finally figured out what was wrong: Didn't he say that he could not practice both law and martial arts?
How can the little evil monk do it?

Not only did he practice both martial arts and martial arts, but he also practiced countless martial arts...

Could it be that it is just a fallacy not to be able to cultivate both law and martial arts, but it is actually possible?
So can I?
Immediately asked this question.

Shen Lang pondered for a while, and said to Bai Shishi's expectant eyes:

"Are you dreaming?"

"Ah?" Bai Shishi was stunned, her eyes widened, and she said angrily, "What do you mean? Do you look down on me?"

Shen Lang put his hand into his bosom, as if to take something, and when he stretched out his hand again, there was already a scroll in his palm:
"This is a scroll of Taoism, just open it and have a look."

Bai Shishi took the scroll and unfolded it full of expectation. She only stared at it for a few breaths, then stroked her forehead with her hands, and looked away dizzily:
"I'm so dizzy... What the hell kind of talisman is this? I can't understand it at all."

Shen Lang chuckled lightly:
"This is just a small secret technique of 'Flame Finger'. Even this makes you feel dizzy. The ninth-grade Taoist secret technique doesn't make you vomit. Learned."

Bai Shishi glanced at the scroll with lingering fear, and asked unwillingly:

"Then why can you? Not only can you practice the law, but you can also practice martial arts?"

Shen Lang smiled proudly:
"Of course it's because I'm a super genius who is rare in a thousand years. Not only you can't learn from me, but other martial arts geniuses and Taoist geniuses can't learn from me either."

He patted Bai Shishi's shoulder lightly, and said earnestly:

"As for you, you only have a little talent in martial arts, so you should concentrate on practicing martial arts. Although you won't be able to sacrifice to demon gods in the future and improve your cultivation quickly, you should still be able to advance to the fourth rank in your lifetime."

Bai Shishi: "..."

Luling Mansion is only a few hundred miles away from the capital. Shen Lang and Bai Shishi rode in a carriage for one day, and then changed horses at the post station the next day. With fast horses and whips, they arrived in the capital smoothly at sunset.
