Chapter 921 Tradition
There was no conversation that night. The next morning, a boy knocked on the door. Liu Mazi stood up and opened the door. He saw a boy bringing two bowls of hot porridge.
Liu Mazi was very disappointed. The hot porridge was ordinary and he had no appetite. Li Changxiao thought it was good. It had been a long time since he had seen such ordinary food. After the two of them finished drinking the porridge in the house, they were led by the boy to the deep courtyard of the mansion to discuss the matter of exorcising the demon.
Deep in the courtyard, there is a large open space. The grass is green and there are flowers dotted around. But the flowers are mostly dark black, brown, or dark yellow. They are not bright, but rather eerie and spooky.
Nowadays, the world seems to dislike bright and delicate colors. The aesthetics have been distorted. Li Changxiao secretly thought it was a pity, thinking that the world's aesthetics were very different from his own. It meant that in the future, he would hardly see the architectural style and cultural customs that he liked.
But thinking deeply, I was indifferent. No matter how chaotic and strange the world is, what can it do? It was not originally like this, I just got sick in the middle of it.
Just cure it. Li Changxiao thought, if no one comes to treat this disease, he will do it himself. With this mentality, he looks at everything in the world with less pain and regret. He has a little more indifference.
He was watching, experiencing it, but also withdrawing. There were already seven or eight people in the deep courtyard. They were all talented and extraordinary people who were invited. Liu Mazi's uncle, the Taoist priest Shenfengzi in yellow, was also among them, holding his head high and looking quite extraordinary.
When he saw Liu Mazi, he glanced away indifferently. He pretended not to know him. Li Changxiao just said that in today's world, there is really no friendship. Sometimes when they meet, they greet each other. Sometimes when they meet, they don't even say hello. What they say and do depends on their mood at the time.
In addition to Shenfengzi, there were seven others, with different looks, but all dressed like Taoists. Li Changxiao looked over and saw that these people were not just for nothing. Even if their "principles were distorted", they had real skills. Liu Mazi was really not good enough, not qualified at all.
Soon, the owner of the mansion came. He was a middle-aged man of medium build. He had a big belly, no hair on his head, big eyes, big nose and big mouth. But he was generally normal. His name was "Hao Decai" and he was a wealthy man in the surrounding area.
Hao Decai smiled and said, "Great, great, all the masters are gathered here. It really makes me feel proud." Li Changxiao shook his head and sighed, and he was too lazy to correct his words. He just listened to it.
Hao Decai said again: "To be honest! My house is haunted, please help me get rid of the ghost!" The yellow-robed Taoist Shenfengzi said: "What ghost? I am all ears."
Hao Decai came over immediately. It turned out that the Hao family was very wealthy and Hao Decai had married three wives. Half a month ago, one of his wives went back to her parents' home and never came back.
He thought that his wife had eloped with someone, and in anger, he beat four servants to death. The four servants had nothing to do with the incident. But he was too nosy and just wanted to beat some people to vent his anger. This beating caused trouble. The four servants were not dead yet. Every full moon night, they came out to make trouble. And his wife who came home to visit her relatives also turned into a zombie and came back to take his life.
In two days, it would be the night of the full moon again, so Hao Decai asked for help. After hearing the reason, Shenfengzi cursed: "No interest, no interest. It's too boring." But even though he cursed, he had no intention of leaving, he just spoke out of habit.
Hao Decai said: "My good brothers, how do we solve this situation? Do you have any good ideas?" Shenfengzi said: "Simple, simple. I will let my worm eat him."
One person retorted, "Hehe, I thought you were the god of wind. What abilities do you have as the third disciple of old man Heshou? You're just a useless insect repellent!" The person who spoke was tall, with a broad back and strong arms, and two big lumps on the left and right corners of his forehead.
His name is Yu Xiongji. He is also a famous "Taoist Immortal". In this world, "everything is inferior, only the Taoist is superior". After enlightenment, some people are born with immortal appearance, and are seen by immortals, who take them as disciples. Then they can learn all kinds of skills.
Shenfengzi said, "What did you say? You want to fight?" Yuxiongji said, "Hehe, I've been looking forward to fighting with you. Do you still remember that you stole my Golden Wing Ling'er a while ago?" Shenfengzi said, "Oh, it turns out to be you, a piece of trash."
Yu Xiongji said: "You want to steal my treasure? I won't tolerate you. Use your innate magic, and we'll see who lives and who dies first." Shenfengzi said: "Okay, okay!"
Without waiting for the crowd to react, the two men immediately performed their magic. Kamikaze was wearing a yellow robe with a pocket underneath. Inside the pocket was a black box.
He took out the box, chanted the spell, and stepped on the Gang Step, very busy. Li Changxiao was immediately surprised when he saw this. When low-level cultivators fight, in order to increase the power of the spells, or use more difficult spells, they will chant the spells, make the seals with their hands, and step on the Gang Step. The mouth, hands, and feet are connected, and the body, mind, and spirit are integrated.
At this moment, Shenfengzi's actions were not completely random. They were quite similar to the magic battles in the past. Moreover... Li Changxiao could vaguely see the origin of the battle.
There used to be a sect in Lingtian called "Cangyu Sect". It was just a small sect, but slightly stronger than Panlong Sect. When Li Changxiao was in Panlong Sect, he had dealt with people from Cangyu Sect several times when he went out on missions.
Later, when Li Changxiao's cultivation level was high, he passed by Panlong Sect again and fought with several Cangyu Sect disciples. He fought one against three and finally fought for an hour. Seeing that the situation was deadlocked, he took the lead in making a plan to escape.
Therefore, Li Changxiao had some impression of Cangyu Sect. And Shenfengzi's set of movements was 60% to 70% similar to Cangyu Sect's movements. If you add the charm, it would be 80% to 90% similar.
This is strange. In the era of change, immortals still existed, but this kind of magic had not been passed down. Now that the immortals have died, some descendants have performed it.
In a trance, Li Changxiao seemed to have returned to the past, facing the disciples of Cangyu Sect. Li Changxiao turned his head and looked at another person: Yu Xiongji. Seeing Shenfengzi showing off his skills, this person was unwilling to be outdone. He also recited the magic formula, made the immortal seal with his hands, and stepped on the Gang step. It was like a sect called "Tuoyue Sect".
Li Changxiao suddenly realized that these Taoists were not chosen randomly. Instead, they existed in a "Taoism". And that "Taoism" was most likely the sects and factions that were scattered all over the world before the spiritual energy was exhausted.
