MTL - Evolved From Polluting the World-Chapter 77 Slaying Demons and Eliminating Demons
The scorching sun scorched the earth and steamed out a mist of water vapor.
After passing through a field of reeds, it is the main road leading to Yushan Town. The old Taoist priest in simple and low-key clothes handed a few loose coins to the boatman, and then put on a hat to protect the little Taoist priest from the heat, patted his clothes and placed them ashore.
Yushan Town is a large town nearby, comparable to a small county town in other places. Therefore, the official roads outside are very spacious and flat.
There are many merchants and carriages coming and going, swaying around, showing a prosperous and upward spirit.
"Master, is this Yushan Town?"
"Yeah." As he got closer, the worries in the old Taoist became more intense.
The little Taoist looked around curiously,
"It looks very peaceful, it doesn't look like a place with demons."
"Demons don't have the word 'demon' written on their faces. Doctors pay attention to seeing, hearing, and asking. Our Taoists, especially the Taoists who slay demons and eliminate demons, are similar, and even in special times, there are other means. ."
"What is a special time?"
"I'll talk to you when I meet you."
"Oh."
The little Taoist priest looked at the town gate of Yushan Town, and saw that there was usually no reason there, so he half muttered and half asked,
"Yushan Town invited us to slay demons and slay demons, but wouldn't they welcome them? Where I used to be, when a Taoist priest came, they would all welcome them."
The old Taoist shook his head,
"We are here to slay demons and slay demons, not to be guests. Xiaoyan, you must remember that every family is vulgar, has a lot of humane etiquette, and pays attention to pomp. Too much vulgarity. Even if you are in the secular world, you should keep your principles clean. Besides, if you enter the town with great fanfare, wouldn’t you be telling those demons that someone has come to subdue you?”
"Oh, that's it. But Master, what exactly is tacky?"
"Tacky... Every family has seven emotions and six desires, and every family is bound by rules, all are tacky."
"But isn't it human nature to have seven emotions and six desires?"
"Yes, that's a human emotion, and it's also an ordinary human emotion. Do you want to be a Taoist priest or an ordinary person?"
The little Taoist looked up and said in a mysterious way:
"It's great to be both a Taoist priest and an ordinary person. In that case, you can slay demons and eliminate demons, and you can also have emotions and desires."
The old Taoist slapped him on the back of the head,
"Crap!"
The little Taoist stood up straight in fright.
"I'm sorry, Master! I knew I was wrong!"
"Wrong? Where did you go wrong!"
"I shouldn't want anything lustful!"
"No! Your fault is greed! 'You want and want', these four words have ruined many heroes and heroes. Even if you can't suppress your emotions, it's just that you can't become a Taoist priest, but if you want both Taoism and love , it will fall into the evil way and go into the devil!"
The little Taoist was taken aback for a moment, and said repeatedly,
"I only need to say, just say!"
The old Taoist sighed and said nothing more.
The two entered Yushan Town.
Because they were wearing ordinary clothes, they were only two of the many civilians who came and went in and out of Yushan Town, and they did not attract any unnecessary attention.
I randomly found a food shop and ate two liang noodles to pad my stomach. Then the old Taoist and the young Taoist walked aimlessly on the street.
Although Yushan Town is a town, its scale is not small, and the road conditions are also complicated. There are few main roads and many alleys. Therefore, it is not easy to walk, and within half a trip, the little Taoist has already sore feet and weak legs, and he is exhausted. He couldn't help complaining,
"Master, what are we doing? Why don't we go to the person who invited us?"
The old Taoist said,
"I said before that I look at, hear, ask, and ask. This is looking. Looking, I also look at hope, look at Taoism, look at people. Yushan has a demon, so I have to take a good look at Yushan Town."
"Then what did Master see?"
"The last time Yushan Town came with me, it didn't change much. It's just that some broken roads have been repaired, and broken houses have been demolished."
"Ah... Didn't that find nothing?"
"Um."
The little Taoist couldn't bear it any longer.
"Then our little half-day effort wasn't in vain? As I said, why don't we go directly to the person who invited us to ask us clearly?"
"Ask to ask, but also to hope. Xiaoyan, do you think this 'look' is boring?"
"I didn't find anything, I just walked for a long time in vain."
"This is the usual way of slaying demons and slaying demons. Xiaoyan, slaying demons and slaying demons is not what you heard from storytellers. You hold a peach wood sword, fold a few talismans, and throw them on those demons. The demon is done. After being entrenched on one side, demonic energy is often generated, causing chaos to the surrounding living sources. As Taoists, we not only want to slay demons and demons, but also eliminate nightmares and chaos. The most important thing is to observe whether there is any source of life that is disturbed by demonic energy. "
"Then what we hope is that there is no trouble, what does it mean?"
"It means that the demons here have a more special and clear purpose. The premise is that there are real demons."
"A more specific and clear purpose...for example?"
"For example, revenge for revenge, such as repayment of kindness and cooperation."
"Is that so..."
The old Taoist exhaled,
"Such a demon is less destructive, but it is often more difficult to get rid of. Well, Xiaoyan, it's time for us to ask someone."
"Okay, okay!" The little Taoist didn't need to continue walking against the sun, his eyes bulged a little.
After half an hour, the two came to a mansion on the North Street of Yushan Town. The mansion was surrounded by houses and looked quite luxurious. There is a plaque on it, "Xu House".
The old Taoist said to the gatekeeper in front of the Xu residence:
"Little brother, please tell Member Xu that the person he invited has arrived."
The gatekeeper looked up and down the old and young, thinking in his heart, there are many people looking for Xu Yuanwai every day, and it's not like two peasants who come from nowhere, so they have to harass Xu Yuanwai's ears.
Seeing the look of the gatekeeper, the old Taoist knew something in his heart, and he didn't care, and added:
"When Xu Yuanwai was worshipping his ancestors at Huacaoya in the north two years ago, he encountered the little demon guarding the road, and it was I who made the way for him."
As soon as the gatekeeper heard it, he didn't dare to neglect it, because he heard about it from other servants, and people outside generally don't know about it. He nodded again and again,
"Old gentleman, wait a moment, I'll speak to member Xu."
Not long after the gatekeeper entered, the group hurried to the main gate. The head is a person, with a happy face, walking in a grand manner, wearing brocade and jade. After seeing the old Taoist priest, he trotted a long distance and said:
"Master Bai Hao, I neglected you!"
Xu Changming walked quickly to the old Taoist priest and greeted him warmly:
"Why didn't you reply to me in advance so that I could prepare for the reception?"
The old Taoist shook his head,
"You don't need to have more leisurely etiquette. Member Xu, let's get straight to the topic."
"well!"
Xu Changming welcomed people into the palace.
On the way, he asked:
"Master Bai Hao, is this your little apprentice?"
The old Taoist nodded,
"After all, I'm getting old, and I need a mantle to pass on."
Xu Changming then politely and cheerfully said to the little Taoist priest:
"Little Daoist, from now on, this is a hundred miles away, and I need your blessing."
The little Taoist humbly returned the salute,
"I obey Master, I obey Shanhe."
"Xiaodao's long speech is amazing."
The old Taoist shook his head,
"He still has a lot to learn."
Xu Changming felt that the old Taoist priest didn't want him to talk too much to the young Taoist priest, so he stopped and tightened his grip.
"Haha, I hope Daoist Baihao really has a great apprentice."
After some settling, Xu Changming invited the old and the young to the guest house. Only the three of them.
The old Taoist went straight to the point,
"Mr. Xu, you used a letter bird and paper kite. Could it be that you have encountered some troublesome demon, and those little utensils I left for you don't work?
Xu Changming showed some worry on his face.
"It doesn't work. I've used all the talismans that can be used, but I haven't seen any results. But speaking of it, it's not that I got the devil."
"Who is that?"
"It's the guard Yalan and everyone who has been attacked by a demon."
When the old Taoist heard this, he frowned,
"The official family has been attacked by a demon? Why don't you ask the official family official? Why do you care about my idle old Tao?"
The little Taoist priest who was listening next to him glanced curiously at the old Taoist priest. He felt that his master didn't seem to like the steward's official way.
Xu Changming patted his thigh,
"It doesn't mean that Daoist Bai Hao's Taoist skills are profound. Once he goes out, he will definitely be able to do his best."
The old Taoist shook his head,
"Mister Xu, you and I have had a relationship before, so you don't have to deal with it like this. If you want to know what I'm doing, I don't know the bottom line, so I won't take action."
Seeing this, Xu Changming said quickly,
"It was me who put on the air, and asked Daoist Bai Hao not to care. It's really hard to bring up this matter, and I was confused for a while."
"You can talk about it. There must be a reason for everything."
"I just hope that after hearing this, Daoist Baihao won't get angry because of my confusion."
"You tell me."
Xu Changming sighed,
"Baihaodao grew into Yushan Town and walked all the way to the humble house. I think I saw the changes in Yushan Town in the past two years. Various repairs and constructions. These are all brought to us by the newly appointed Master Lanzhiweilan. Yushan The town has a good atmosphere and a new look. If it continues like this, it will probably be promoted to the county seat within three years. At that time, the imperial court will also allocate funds to help the expansion, and the surrounding villages will receive attention. For the common people, it is a good thing. Perhaps, this encounter with a demon is a test from heaven... If an official from an official family is invited, it must be considered as an ominous omen in Yushan Town. I'm afraid things won't work out."
"That's why you don't want to ask the official, ask me?"
Xu Changming had some sweat oozing from his forehead. He had had a relationship with Daoist Master Bai Hao, and knew that Daoist Daoist did not like this kind of local government affairs. He swallowed and continued:
"I know that it is rude and unbelievable to hide Daoist Master Bai Hao. But I also ask Dao Master Bai Hao to understand the painstaking efforts of Master Lan and me. Master Lan does not do anything else, but just wants the people to live better. If you are promoted to the county seat Even if there is a disaster year in the future, the court will give priority to disaster relief."
The old Taoist is a wrinkle with eyebrows, eyebrows with wrinkles,
"Up to the county seat? What about the big city? What about the state city? The people should suffer or suffer. Those who live better are only noble families, officials, and gentry. Even in the imperial city, ordinary people can survive. Is it better? The Zhu family is good, the poor family is good, in my eyes, neither is a grass house."
Xu Changming sweated more. Hearing these words, he felt like a light on his back,
"Bai Hao Daoist has a high realm, and is far from being comparable to me. But please look at the face of this letter of Wanmin, and think about it more for Yushan Town."
Saying that, he took a box and opened it.
There is a thick stack of paper inside. After he took it out, he carefully unfolded it, gradually spreading it into a large sheet of paper about seven feet wide and nine feet long.
On the front of the paper are the words that Mr. Lan Zhiwei Lan has devoted himself to serving the country and the people since he took office.
The rest of the place is filled with dense names. The handwriting is good and bad.
Xu Changming said,
"Everyone in Yushan Town has their names on it. Those who can write are written by themselves, and those who can't be written are written on behalf of Mr.
When the old Taoist looked at the letter of Wanmin, he was a little surprised for a while.
"Is Lan Zhiwei really a good official?"
He has traveled all over the world over the years, and it is really rare to see a good official.
Xu Changming said,
"I have seen it with the people of Yushan Town."
After being silent for a long time, the old Taoist exhaled sullenly, nodded and said:
"If I really think about the people, I will feel at ease."
"Daoist Baihao agreed?"
The old Taoist nodded,
"It's just, what kind of monster did Lan Zhiwei provoke?"
Xu Changming said,
"I also ask Daoist Bai Hao to go to the guard house and talk about it. It's better for Master Lan to talk about it in person."
"Then don't delay, let's go."
"This way, please." Xu Changming stood up immediately and walked ahead. When he went out, he shouted "Prepare sedan".
But then he was stopped by the old Taoist priest,
"Let's go over there."
"Walk over?" Xu Changming said, "The guard house is on East Street, it's still far from here, and the sun is burning like fire at the moment."
Daoist Baihao shook his head,
"A monk can't bear a human-powered sedan chair. His feet can't touch the ground, and his heart is not stable."
Xu Changming paused for a while, then said with a smile:
"Then walk, walk."
The little Taoist's face suddenly wrinkled, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He just felt that walking was really boring, and he didn't feel like slaying demons and slaying demons at all.
Xu Changming said,
"I also asked Daoist Baihao and the little Daoist to come to the front yard and wait for a while, and I'll come as soon as possible."
The old Taoist priest didn't say anything, he led the little Taoist priest to the front yard.
When Xu Changming saw them walking away, the expression on his face closed, and he went to the wing next to the guest house.
Pushing the door and entering, there are people waiting inside. Six feet tall, ruddy complexion, about forty years old, scholar-like, dressed in simple blue clothes.
Xu Changming said:
"Mr. Gongshan, your master really has a good plan. The Wanminxin is really easy to use, and Daoist Baihao can't resist it when he sees it."
Gongshan Ziyou shook his head,
"I'm not an expert. I'm just handling some small things for Mr. Lan~www.novelbuddy.com~ We can do what we can do here. It depends on the Taoist priest you invite. Whether it will work or not. You know, then The demon...isn't a good stubble, following him all the way from Sunshine Pass to Yushan Town, unmoved by the earth, not something a little demon can do."
"Mr. Gongshan doesn't know that this Daoist Baihao is actually a descendant of Jiushan Dao."
"Nine Mountains Road, which was very prosperous a hundred years ago?"
"Exactly!"
"Although Jiushan Dao killed the great demon for the country and destroyed its foundation, it fell away. But Daoist Bai Hao has learned seven or eight of the true biography of Yishan. Even now that he is old, the heart of killing demons has never been cold. Come to think of it, since I plan to slay the demon, I won't change my way halfway. The most difficult thing is to convince him to start this matter. Now that the most difficult problem has been solved, Mr. Gong Shan can rest assured."
Gongshan Ziyou,
"I hope you are not fooling people. You must be clear about the identity of Young Master Lan. Whether your future is good or bad is only between his thoughts. If you pass this test by luck, you will definitely be supported. If you can't pass it. ...I won't say much."
Xu Changming nodded,
"I know below."
"That's good. Well, I have to go back and get ready soon."
"Hehe, I originally planned to take a sedan chair and let the sedan detour around the road. But the Baihao Road Chief chose to walk, so he had more time. Mr. Gongshan doesn't have to be in a hurry."
Gongshan Ziyou didn't say much, then left from the backyard.
