Xianlu

Chapter 228
Xu Dao stood in front of the threshold of the hall, looking at the five statues inside the door, with a hint of sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Although he was bold enough to come here alone and step into the temple of the other party, it didn't mean that he was going to take risks and walk into the siege of others just to save face.

I saw red lights everywhere in this ordinary main room, and the resentment was extremely strong, just like a slaughterhouse.

Xu Dao looked at the five statues staring at him, and found that the strange expressions on their faces became more and more serious, and finally all of them smiled ferociously, as if they were going to eat him alive.

Overlapping voices sounded: "Why did the envoy stop, quickly enter the door and sit down!"

"Why did the envoy stop, quickly enter the door and sit down..."

The cries continued, and the sounds of magic pierced through the ears. The faces of the five god statues all showed a ferocious look, not like gods, but more like demons.

This made Xu Dao's expression immediately awe-inspiring, and he snorted coldly: "Is this the way five channel leaders treat guests?"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Dao's body was full of thunder and fire, and his inspiration appeared.

He was holding the black iron gourd hammer on his waist, his eyes were wide open, and he acted resentful. After a few disagreements, he was about to take the hammer and smash all the five god statues into pieces.

And after Xu Dao showed such a gesture, the voice whispering in his ear also gradually disappeared.

There was a crackling sound, and the two god statues on the altar table suddenly swayed, and pieces of mud fell from above.

A human body with a toad head and a gecko head swayed from side to side, and the joints on their bodies made cracking sounds. Their faces squirmed, and their eyes emitted a strange light, completely alive.

Then the two demons shook themselves up, shook the mud skin off their bodies thoroughly, and walked down from the altar with a bang.

After stepping down, they are more than ten feet tall, with a wide body, wearing ordinary Taoist robes, standing in the middle of the hall, with their backs facing the candles on the altar, looking dark and mysterious.

Xu Dao raised his eyes and looked over, and found that the blood and energy of the two were rolling, which was far from what a monster or a Taoist at the level of qi refining could compare to.

As for the other three statues, after Taoist Toad and Taoist Gecko appeared, they resumed their original posture of looking down at the ground, as if they had never seen Xu Dao at all just now.

But Xu Dao still had an idea in his mind: "In this way, the other three clay puppets probably also hide three other Taoist priests, scorpions, long snakes, and bats!"

Originally, Xu Dao wanted to reprimand the Taoist priests for pretending to be gods and ghosts, but now it seems that the five Taoist priests seem to have arranged some kind of secret method, which made the whole mountain full of resentment, and they sat in it with the body of a monster, or manipulated the formation. Law, or enjoy some benefits.

He remained calm, and then carefully looked at the two Taoist priests toad and Taoist gecko who were walking to the altar, and found that compared with their appearance a year ago, the two Taoist priests were rosy and much more energetic.

For more than a year, the other party should have been doing well, and his mana and Taoism have faintly improved.

While Xu Dao was observing, the two Taoist priests each yawned, their mouths opened wide enough to swallow a person alive.

They looked at Xu Dao boredly, and Taoist Toad said in a muffled voice:

"Why didn't the envoy enter the temple to pray, why don't you hurry up and take a seat." He pointed to the small table in front of him, motioning Xu Dao to come in and sit down quickly.

The gecko Taoist next to him was a little silent, but he also looked at Xu Dao with malicious intentions, stuck out his scarlet tongue, and hissed: "But you don't respect me, do you want to beat me?"

As the two sang together, they obviously wanted to coax and frighten Xu Dao, let him walk into the main room, fall into an unknown formation, and let him take advantage of him.

The dignified pressure was released from the two Taoist priests, and it fell on Xu Dao's body as if it had any substance, making him breathless as if he had sunk into the bottom of a lake.

At the same time, a strange feeling rose beside Xu Dao, as if there were two invisible tentacles wrapping him separately, tightly entangled like sticky, trying to peel off the human skin and probe everything on him.

This is the release of spiritual pressure and spiritual consciousness by the two Taoist priests. If it were an ordinary Taoist priest here, no matter whether it was an early Taoist or a late Taoist, the secrets on his body would immediately disappear and could not be concealed.

Whether it is cultivation base, magic weapon, or spell, they will be clearly understood by the opponent, and then in the next fight, they will be played by Taoist priests in the palm of their hands, and they can be easily killed.

And this is the main reason why the strength of Taoist priests and Taoist disciples is so different.

But Xu Dao had already established his foundation, so it was impossible for him to be detected by the other party's divine sense.

It's just that he didn't directly block the peeping of the two Taoist priests with his power, but clenched the small gourd hammer hanging from his waist, pretending to rely on a magic weapon to block the peeping.

This made the toad priest and the gecko priest in the room look at each other, and then their eyes fell on the "golden melon hammer" on Xu Dao's waist

Calmly, Xu Dao stood at the door, bowed his hands to the two Taoist priests, and said, "The Taoist priest wants to invite, but the poor Taoist dare not obey."

After a pause, he pointed to the red and green food on the small table inside the door, with a slight smile on his face, and said pointingly: "It's just that the food on this table is good-looking, but I don't know why Poor Dao is so excited when he sees it." It feels like a panic, not like eating, but more like a sacrifice."

After that, Xu Dao stood outside the door and bowed again, saying: "Why don't you invite the two Taoist priests to come out, I'll wait in the middle of the courtyard, and then set up a banquet, just drink in the open air."

Hearing Xu Dao's reply, the two Taoist priests who looked at him giggled, and abruptly withdrew the spiritual pressure and spiritual consciousness released.

The Taoist Toad in the middle, with his fat belly around, muttered in his mouth: "I just said that this new guy won't take the bait, it's a waste of effort."

It glanced at Xu Dao who was standing outside the door and refused to enter, stretched out his right foot wearing a cloth shoe, and kicked over the small table with one kick, as casually as kicking over a bowl for a dog.

After kicking, Taoist Toad looked at the Taoist Gecko next to him, "Come on, let's go out and meet this kid for a while, so as not to disturb the peace of Big Brother and them in the house."

"Yes." The gecko Taoist licked his tongue and nodded.

Immediately, the two Taoist priests shook their tall figures, supported the door frame, lowered their heads, and walked out slowly from the inside.

Xu Dao naturally stepped back quickly so as not to block the way of the two Taoists.

Before he could say hello to the two Taoist priests who came out, a bloody smell came from the door and penetrated into his nostrils, the stench was incomparable.

As soon as Xu Dao raised his head, he found that the heads of the two Taoist priests in front of him were glowing red, and their resentment was almost condensed into substance.

Only then did Xu Daofang vaguely understand that the source of the mountain's resentment was probably none other than the Taoist Shezhao in front of him.

There is a grievance and a debtor. The reason why resentment gathers on people's heads is that the tragic victim knows who has killed him, and throws his soul on the other person's head. He wants to claim his life, but there is nothing he can do. This is a sign of formation.

Among the various situations that can form resentment, the cruel death of the tragic death is the most.

Xu Dao's heart thumped: "These two Taoist priests, how many lives should they have killed to breed so much resentment!"

Ordinary beasts, plants and trees, because their intelligence is not formed, even if they die tragically, it is difficult to condense resentment. Only monsters or people with spiritual intelligence can form a lot of resentment.

And the grievances of these Shezhao Taoist priests could not have come from the slaughter of a large number of monsters.

Because although there are many monsters, they are not many, especially in the densely populated Jiangzhou territory, it is even more difficult to gather monsters that can form such resentment.

That is to say, [-]% of the grievances on the two Taoist priests came from killing living people.

And because ordinary resentment does not exist in a person for a few days, it usually dissipates in seven days.

When the two Shezhao Taoist priests slaughtered many living people in recent days, the methods were also cruel!
Coupled with the fact that the main room behind the Taoist priest was still full of red light and full of resentment, the lives of the three Taoist priests who did not show up must have been a lot more.

Xu Dao's heart immediately turned cold, he squinted at the two Taoist priests, and there was a trace of killing intent in his chest, wishing to reveal something on the spot.

But right now, he is on the opponent's territory, so he has to take it easy, so he has no choice but to hold back.

When Xu Dao's thoughts were tumbling, Taoist Toad walked out and called directly: "Your guests are coming, don't you guys quickly set up the banquet?"

The voice fell, and suddenly there was a sound of running footsteps in the originally silent temple.

A group of hunched "people" held tables, chairs and benches, ran out from everywhere, chattering, and set up a banquet in the courtyard.

It was only then that Xu Dao noticed that these short, stooped "people" all had black hair on their faces, a mouse face, and dodgy eyes. They were all big rats, not living people.

After a few breaths, a large square table appeared in front of Xu Dao's eyes, and the mice who moved the seats were still bouncing up and down, bringing in dishes, chopsticks, spoons, cups, etc., looking flexible and familiar.

"Monster?" Xu Dao was surprised, but he didn't see any monster or aura in these big rats.

"What is the envoy doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and serve the table?" A voice suddenly called out to him.

It was the simple-looking toad-headed Taoist priest who patted the big table, then shook his body, and sat opposite the gecko Taoist priest next to him, vacating the middle seat.

There was a sneer: "The messenger shouldn't even dare to sit down."

Xu Dao withdrew his gaze from the ratmen around him, cupped his hands, and said, "Don't dare to obey." Then he tiptoed and jumped onto the tall table and chair.

Because the wooden table was tall, he could still make do if he stood on the chair, but if he sat down, there was only one person whose head was higher than the table.

So Xu Dao simply sat cross-legged in the air, his sword energy spurting, and he nodded to the Taoist priests on both sides.

As long as he doesn't enter the weird main room, he is not afraid of the Taoist priests, so he will get straight to the point after sitting down: "I wonder if the two Taoist priests have invited Lei to come here. What advice do you have?"

That's right, Xu Dao directly took the name of Lei Liangxiao to call himself, and he asked: "Where are the other three Taoist priests, why didn't they show up?"

The two Taoist priests stared at the wildly dancing air around him. Among them, the Taoist gecko crossed his arms and remained silent arrogantly, while the Taoist toad said:

"Don't rush, don't rush, the envoy finally came back, so we naturally have to entertain first. Little ones, hurry up and make the noodles, and serve them up!"

There was a shout, and there was a lot of noise around, the rats were chattering, and there was the sound of chickens and ducks neighing, which came from the backyard.

"It's a coincidence, big brother and the others are practicing, so we can only entertain the envoys!" Taoist Toad said in a relaxed tone.

Xu Dao nodded when he heard it, and said casually: "The Taoist career is a big deal, and it is Lei's luck that the two priests can find time to meet Lei."

"Haha! Don't boast, don't boast." Taoist Toad laughed loudly and spit out: "The envoy was born in the Taoist palace and worked in the demon division. Those of us from the countryside are not comparable to the Taoist priests in the Taoist palace. "

Seeing that the other party mentioned the Erhai Dao Palace and the Demon Slayer, Xu Dao also smiled and exchanged greetings with the other party.

The two Taoist priests made some overt and covert probing, because Xu Dao got a lot of information from Lei Liangxiao's mouth, and the answers were fluent, and the two Taoist priests were surprised and suspicious.

They transmitted voices to each other: "Hey! The new guy, could it be that he's really a demon envoy?"

"Don't panic, and you will know if you continue to explore."

On the other hand, Xu Dao watched the actions of the two Taoist priests, and felt nervous. Although he had prepared well, there was no guarantee that something would go wrong and his secrets would be exposed. At that time, he would have to do something.

He has to pay attention at all times, it is best to run away if there is a disagreement, so as not to provoke all five Taoist priests.

Just at this time, in a short while, the guys in charge of cooking in the Wutong Temple prepared the food, and the steaming fragrance wafted from the backyard, making the mouths of the two Taoists shut.

"Hurry up! Serve the food and drink!" Taoist Toad slammed the table and shouted.

The gecko Taoist next to him also stuck out his tongue, showing a greedy look on his face.

Seeing the appearance of the two Taoist priests, Xu Dao thought to himself: "Could it be the best spiritual food?"

There was a chirping sound, and the rat people appeared, dragging and dragging, soup bowls the size of water tanks, and vegetable dishes the size of millstones, were carried onto the banquet one by one.

But what was placed on it was not spiritual food, but ordinary restaurant dishes, such as boiled chicken, sour carp, steamed pork chops, braised lion head and so on.

They are all hard dishes, and there is no inspiration, and some are just the smell of meat.

But what's special is that the chickens, ducks, and fish among them are all huge, and the heads of the lions are even half the size of a child's head.

Xu Dao stared at the wine and food, his eyes were slightly startled, a flash of inspiration flashed in his eyes, and his pupils shrank immediately.

cluck cluck!Suddenly there was a rooster crowing.

A big red-crowned rooster suddenly ran out from the backyard, followed by a few rat men with knives and ropes. One of the rooster's wings had been cut off, and blood was spraying.

The rooster was about the size of a human being, and the rat man immediately picked up the chicken wings that fell to the ground and plucked them. They were bald, and they were as big as a human arm...
