Chapter 198 The law does not spread to the six ears

three days later.

Shuangxi Town, inside the grand courtyard.

"Sir, Taoist Xuan Gui has profound Taoist skills. You must stay for a few more days when you go to Bitan. Jade from other mountains can be used to polish stone. We sisters will be waiting for you to come back at home."

Susu held the man's hand tightly and spoke earnestly, her warm-hearted big sister temperament clearly visible.

As for Huahua and Feifei?
These two girls are still lying in bed and won’t get up no matter how we call them!
"You really want me to leave?"

Cheng Long's face was filled with black lines.

SuSu was not like this three days ago.

Just because I couldn't control myself and spent three days and three nights with the three sisters, they want to kick me out?

"I didn't, I wasn't, don't talk nonsense..."

After Su Su denied it repeatedly, her eyes became gentler. She said affectionately, "Sir, a man should put his career first. Hua Hua, Fei Fei, and I really want you to stay and accompany us all the time, but we can't be so selfish and delay your practice."

"Ha ha……"

Seeing Su Su's insincere words, Cheng Long, who understood the reason, laughed and took her into his arms. After giving her a deep kiss, he said softly, "Take good care of yourself these few days and wait for me to come back."

"Mmmmm~"

Susu nodded obediently, feeling both excited and scared, feeling very conflicted.

After sending the man out, she sat on the stone bench like a gust of wind, impatiently pressing her hands to her aching waist...

Huahua and Feifei couldn't get up, not because they wanted to stay in bed, but because they really couldn't get up.

……

Bitan Waterfall.

Under the waterfall, an old Taoist priest sat cross-legged, his body as straight as a pine tree, his silver hair fluttering in the wind.

His eyes were closed and there was a faint smile on his face, as if he had merged with the world. The noise around him had all gone away at this moment, leaving only the trickling sound of the small waterfall, which intertwined with the old Taoist's breathing to form a peaceful melody.

Suddenly.

The old Taoist opened his eyes and looked at the young man dressed as a scholar who appeared under the waterfall.

"My young friend, I thought it would take a long time for you to remember that I am living in Bitan for meditation!" The old Taoist joked with a smile when he saw the man coming towards him.

"Master, do you already know?"

Cheng Long's face turned red. He had indeed been quite ridiculous in the past three days.

But who can blame Susu, Huahua and Feifei for being so considerate! He also realized that he was at risk of sinking, so he took the initiative to come here to visit Taoist Xuangui.

"I know everything!"

Taoist Xuan Gui smiled and said, "You guys made such a big noise three days ago that not only the nearby mountain gods and land gods, but even the judges of the underworld had heard about it. How could I not know about it?"

"According to what you said, Wu Ming really doesn't have any friends at all!"

"Where would a demon who rapes other people's wives and daughters have friends? If he has any, they are just idiot friends, none of them can be successful."

There was disdain in Xuan Gui's tone, and it was obvious that he looked down on Wutongshen and his fellow cronies.

These evil gods and demons are good at fighting when the wind is in their favor, but they run faster than each other when the wind is against them. Cheng Long can even kill the Five Gods, so how could they possibly run away to seek trouble?

Cheng Long smiled slightly and said, "Master, I forgot to introduce myself last time. My last name is Cheng and my given name is Long. I'm sure you've figured out that I'm a demon cultivator..."

"That's fine! There are thousands of ways, and it doesn't matter what you practice. What matters is the person who practices. If one's intentions are not right, even if he is from a famous family, he will be thrown into the eighteen levels of hell after death. Your merits are many times greater than mine. It is an honor for me to make friends with you."

Taoist Priest Xuan Gui is an accomplished master with profound Taoist skills. No matter his state of mind or magical power, he is far superior to Yan Chixia.

Yan Chixia can feel free and bold to make friends with Cheng Long, so why would he be afraid of the other party's identity as a demon cultivator?

The development of Taoism itself is a process of embracing all rivers, being inclusive, absorbing and integrating, and making innovations. For example, the ghost and god worship of the Shang Dynasty, the Fangxiandao of the Warring States Period, and the Huang-Lao Dao of the Han Dynasty together became the main elements in the formation of Taoism... In most myths and the world of cultivation, the good and evil are not that extreme. If you encounter someone from a cult, you have to fight and kill them.

But then again, the saying that good and evil cannot coexist can be passed down mainly because there are too many evil cultivators who kill people and take their souls, and practice blood-extracting and marrow-draining. It is indeed rare to find an evil cultivator like Cheng Long who does not kill innocent people indiscriminately but instead likes to help others.

"Master, you said that three nights ago when I fought with the Five Gods, the mountain gods and land gods were also watching. But I usually travel around the mountains and rivers, but I seldom see any trace of them. Moreover, there are so many monsters and demons in the world, isn't there anyone to take care of them?" Cheng Long couldn't help but raise his doubts.

"Alas, the world today is different from previous years. Evil ministers are in power in the court. The emperor is obsessed with women and alchemy, and is obsessed with making elixirs that can grant people immortality. As a result, the government is corrupt, people's livelihood is declining, and people's hearts are broken. The consequence is that evil spirits fill the world, and immortals and Buddhas cannot appear..." Taoist Xuan Gui sighed.

Immortals and Buddhas don’t come out?

Cheng Long grasped the key point and asked, "Because the heaven and earth are filthy, immortals and Buddhas do not like it, so is it because cultivators like us can only see ghosts and gods, and it is difficult to see the traces of immortals and gods?"

"That's right, but the ghosts and gods will only maintain the order of the underworld and will not interfere too much in the affairs of the human world. In this era of demons, we are the only ones who can clean up the world."

Xuan Gui's eyes were full of worry, because he was about to ascend to heaven. Although there were some talented disciples among the younger generation of Laoshan, it was difficult for them to surpass him. They could guard the mountain, but if they were expected to travel the world and slay demons, they might die at the hands of demons one day, and their inheritance would be cut off.

The current purpose of each sect is to guard the mountain and maintain the orthodoxy as the first principle, maintain local stability as the second principle, and go out to gain experience as the third.

Now all these old guys are still here. Although the world is in chaos, it is not as chaotic as in A Chinese Ghost Story.

It’s hard to say in a few years.

"Master, I can only say that I will do my best to kill as many evil spirits as possible that are harming the world, to clean up the world, and to put an end to the chaos. But I am willing but unable to do so."

It’s not that Cheng Long has never thought about becoming the king, but he is short of manpower at this stage. Whether he can do it in the future depends on who he will meet in the future.

After all, this is not a matter for one person. It is not easy to be an emperor without the help of three or five trustworthy people.

"My friend, it's enough that you have this heart."

After a pause, Taoist Xuan Gui said, "I will ascend to heaven soon, so I won't be able to use many things. If you want anything, just ask. I can give you the sword and whisk."

"Master, I am quite interested in Taoist spells. Could you teach me one or two to broaden my horizons?" Although Liao Zhai is only a small thousand world or a medium thousand world, the Taoist inheritance here is definitely not that simple. The ancient Qigong technique picked up by Yan Chixia is a good example.

"My friend is such a sly fellow!"

Taoist Xuan Gui laughed and scolded, then said seriously: "But since you have spoken, I will fulfill your wish and teach you a Taoist magic. In the past, I saw that you can skillfully use magic power to transform into various mythical beasts and weapons, so I will teach you the mediation of fate among the thirty-six Tiangang methods."

"really?"

Cheng Long was ecstatic. Each of the 36 Tiangang Methods was a great magical power. The first one was the one that mediated the creation of nature. In many mythological stories, the human race was created by the goddess Nuwa using this method.

"Don't be too happy too soon. I have only learned a little bit about mediating fate. It's called fate, but in fact it's not as good as making soldiers out of beans. I can't guarantee whether you can learn it."

When Taoist Xuan Gui said this, he was not really trying to discourage Cheng Long, but he meant that mediating the creation was a great magical power, and not many people could learn even the basics, let alone learn this magical power and create all things.

His realm is far inferior to that of Baimei Zhenren, the leader of the Emei Sect in "The Legend of Zu".

Baimei still has some residual soul, so he can use this method to create a human being. Taoist Xuangui can only create ants or spiders at most.

However, what he used most often was to revive paper cranes and fly them to Laoshan to deliver messages.

"Master, you can teach me. If I can't learn, then I am incompetent."

Cheng Long’s current level of comprehension is incomparable to when he just traveled through time. With his body constantly strengthened by the improvement of his blood and energy, his wisdom has also increased dramatically.

I can't see the point of the ancient Qigong, mainly because it was written too chaotically. I haven't learned ancient Chinese, so it seems more intellectual. But it's different now. Taoist Xuan Gui will teach you step by step. If you still can't learn it, then... just practice magic honestly!

The killing technique can also lead you directly to the great road.

It is not necessary to learn Taoist methods.

"To mediate the creation is the magical power of creation. It mediates the heaven and earth, and is able to create something out of nothing, and to bring life out of death. It was with this magical power of creation that Lady Nuwa created the entire human race. Come listen carefully..."

Cheng Long quickly leaned over to listen.

As the saying goes, the Dharma should not be passed on to others. Taoist Xuan Gui whispered the Dharma because he was afraid that someone might eavesdrop in secret. Although the possibility was very small, he had to be on guard...
