i turned into a monster

Chapter 7 Arriving in the capital, the fire of civilization

A few days later, in the evening, the sky was full of red clouds, and the two came to an abandoned temple.

"Lan Ruo Temple?"

Teng Zijing looked up at the archway in front of him, with a look of doubt on his face.

"I remember that there was no temple here back then, did I remember wrongly?"

"Hehe, it seems that I am really old..."

Teng Zijing laughed at himself, then walked inside.

Seeing that it was getting dark, and there were no inns or houses nearby, so we had to settle down here.

Bai Ze didn't say anything, just followed silently.

It's the last time, go where you want to go, and wherever you go, it will be unimpeded!
This is my last promise to you.

The two rested in the temple all night, and nothing strange happened.That night, everything was silent, even the insects in the nearby grass did not dare to make a sound, Teng Zijing slept comfortably.

The next morning.

Before Teng Zijing woke up, Bai Ze strolled to the backyard of Lanruo Temple alone.

There, there is a huge banyan tree, the trunk is as thick as a dozen people hugging each other, countless roots hang down to the ground, and a single tree forms a forest.

And under the tree, there are many earthen pots entangled by tree roots.

Bai Ze walked over and knocked these earthen pots to the ground seemingly inadvertently.

"Click, click..."

The earthen jar was broken, and white powder spilled out of it, and it went away with the wind.

There seemed to be relief in the wind, as well as silent thanks...

"Swish!"

The big banyan tree shook violently, and the leaves made sounds, as if angry.

"You don't agree?"

Bai Ze looked at the big banyan tree, and a line of blood-colored characters appeared in the air in front of him, with an awe-inspiring aura.

The big banyan tree trembled suddenly, then stopped moving.

"You are also a demon, I won't kill you, but you can be spared the death penalty, and you can't escape the death penalty."

A line of characters appeared in front of Bai Ze again, and then he turned and left on his own.

"Buzz!"

That line of characters turned into a black light and penetrated into the banyan tree.

"Crash, crash, crash!"

The next moment, the lush leaves on the banyan tree fell like rain, and they couldn't stop at all.

"My way! No—"

A face appeared on the banyan tree, and there was a roar of unwillingness.

"Boom!"

In the sky above the temple, black clouds gathered suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and even strong winds blew up, making it look like a mountain rain was about to come.

"Boom!"

But the next moment, a stomping sound sounded, the sky and the earth seemed to tremble, and the dark clouds all over the sky suddenly collapsed and then dissipated.

"The evil power is so heavy on the body, I don't know how many people have been harmed, it's not bad to be alive, and you still want to do it?"

Bai Ze sneered, then wagged his tail, and leisurely returned to the wing where Teng Zijing slept.

"It's thundering, is it going to rain?" Teng Zijing was awakened by the thunder just now, and asked in surprise.

"No, it's just thunder and rain." Bai Ze shook his head.

"That's good, pack up and let's continue on our way."

Teng Zijing got up, dressed neatly, and continued on the road with the bookcase on his back.

The two left the temple.

And in the backyard, the thousand-year-old banyan tree had lost all its leaves and spread a thick layer on the ground. When the wind blows, it will disperse...

Two days later, a young Taoist came here with an old Taoist.

"Master, right here, there are monsters, very powerful monsters!!"

The little Taoist said in horror.

The old Taoist drew out his mahogany sword, looked solemnly at the sky in the backyard, and after a long time, suddenly knocked a chestnut on the young Taoist.

"The demon aura is so weak, it's just a little demon that has no form! Next time something like this happens, don't bother me as a teacher!"

The old Taoist snorted coldly, then chanted a few incantations, and threw the mahogany sword in his hand.

"call out!"

The mahogany sword flew into the backyard glowing red, and then flew back with a smear of blood.

"Okay, it's just an old tree. I have cut off its wisdom. God has the virtue of being good at life, so let it continue to grow."

The old Taoist said lightly.

But when he saw the blood on the mahogany sword clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly, his face showed a look of horror, and his whole body trembled.

"Golden demon blood, thousands of thousands..."

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Idiot, run away!!!"

The old Taoist roared, grabbed the little Taoist priest, and ran away like crazy.

After running for a certain distance, he seemed to remember that he could fly, so he soared into the sky and flew away as a ray of light.

After leaving Lanruo Temple, it was still a boring journey.

I have to say that there are really many monsters in the mountains and rivers. In the next few days, the two met two monsters that transformed into a woodcutter and a fisherman.

Based on their insignificant behavior, they must not be able to see the specialness of Bai Ze. They just thought it was an ordinary dog, but they didn't have any malicious intentions. The two met by chance and then passed each other.

Maybe this is the norm.

In fact, most of the monsters are not vicious. After they transform into forms, they also experience the various aspects of life like ordinary people, or they just mix in the crowd, and they may even be your parents.

One person and one dog continued on their way.

As it gets closer to the capital, there are more and more cities and villages around it, the fire of the world of mortals is bright, and there are fewer and fewer traces of monsters.

"Finally... it's here."

Half a month later, the two finally arrived in the capital. Teng Zijing looked at the majestic city gate with people coming and going, with mixed feelings.

Beijing, it has been many years since we left.

He had been an official in the capital for more than 40 years, but he was demoted to Baling County in his later years. This demotion lasted 21 years.

Over the years, the first emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne, so naturally he was forgotten.

"My old friends, I don't know how they are doing now." Teng Zijing said to himself sadly.

Bai Ze, on the other hand, looked solemnly at the majestic city wall in front of him.

In his eyes, the entire capital exudes a scorching aura, like a huge furnace, and the sky is illuminated red!

"The fire of the world? The ultimate fire of the world!" Bai Ze took a deep breath.

He once heard that the fire of the world of mortals is also called the fire of civilization, which is a symbol of human civilization.The more popular and prosperous the place, the more prosperous the fire of civilization.

This is the nemesis of all evil spirits.

What's more, if the fire of civilization is combined with the iron and blood evil spirit of the army, it can break all laws!
Therefore, no matter whether it is a monster or a Taoist monk, even if the magic power is overwhelming, they dare not offend the majesty of the court.

Monsters are all hiding in Tibet, and usually only dare to commit crimes in the wilderness where no one has ever seen them.Taoist priests and monks are not only majestic when subduing demons, but also obedient citizens and obey the law at other times.

"Above the palace, there is still a lucky golden dragon entrenched, the majesty is also shocking." Bai Ze was amazed in his heart.

The aura of the Luck Golden Dragon is too terrifying, even with his current 800 years of Taoism, he feels a little depressed.If it were any other monster, I'm afraid they would feel the supernatural power of Mount Tai!

Therefore, the land of the capital is the last thing monsters from all sides want to approach.

Back then, he became a demon in the capital city, and lived in the capital city for a long time, so at that time, the mortal flames of the capital city regarded him as one of their own.

It is different now, after more than 20 years away from the capital, the red dust in the capital regarded him as a foreign monster and began to reject him.

"It's okay, I have a way."

He took a deep breath and restrained all his demon power and aura, to the point where even the fire of the world of mortals could not detect it.

It's just that this will be very tiring, which is equivalent to holding your breath and not breathing for a long time.With his current Taoism and determination, holding back for three to five days is not a problem.

Teng Zijing's trip to Beijing was nothing serious, it was just a visit to relatives and friends, three to five days was enough.

……

The capital, Duke Qin's Mansion.

In the gazebo in the back garden, several old men who are over seventy years old are gathering together, reciting poems, composing Fu, playing the piano and playing chess.

"Snapped!"

"Hahaha, Huai Min, you lost again!"

"It looks like Huai Min didn't sleep well last night, which alley did he go to for fun?"

"Go, go, things about scholars, can that be called entertainment? What's more, I'm already old, even if I think about it, I'm powerless."

"That's not necessarily the case. Look at Brother Zijing, who is over 60 years old and has a daughter. It can be seen that ambition does not come at a young age."

"you you you!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

As a result, there was laughter and laughter in the gazebo.

After a long time, someone sighed and said, "Unfortunately, brother Zijing is not here, after all, I feel that something is missing."

Immediately, everyone's mood fell.

"That's right, Brother Zijing has been demoted for 21 years. Now he is 88 years old. I'm afraid it will be difficult to see him again in this life."

"Hey... Baling County is located in a remote place, the road is far away, and there are many rugged mountain roads on the way. It is said that there are monsters making troubles. It is too difficult to enter Beijing."

"We old bones want to go to Baling County to see him, but we are old and frail, and we have already been unable to do what we want."

"Hey……"

At this moment, a servant came to report: "My lords, Teng Zijing, the governor of Baling County, is visiting. Do you want him to come in?"

Everyone was surprised and overjoyed.

Qin Gong was so excited that he was trembling all over, and he danced and said, "Hurry up, invite him in, invite him in!"

And then he seemed to realize something, and suddenly kicked the servant's ass, stared and scolded: "What is the governor of Baling, when he was a cabinet scholar, you were not born yet! Go!"

So, the servant ran away clutching his buttocks.

Soon, under everyone's eagerly awaited gazes, a white-haired old man in a scholar's gown walked slowly with a big white dog.

Everyone watching this scene was in a daze.

In their eyes, the old figure walking slowly with the bookcase on his back seemed to have changed into the appearance of his youth. At that time, he was also dressed like this, and he was accompanied by this striking big white dog...

"Brother Zijing!"

Someone called out, and the voice trembled, containing the deep friendship brewed by years of wind and frost.
