I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 186 Master of Divine Machine One Deep

The fox seemed to have only heard the first half of the sentence, so he lowered his head and murmured: "Evil person? Everything will be magnified, and Le Sheng failed to go out after all."

Gu Yao looked at it, but didn't fully believe what it said, and immediately asked, "Has Le Sheng not been here for a long time?"

A human-like sad expression appeared on the fox's face: "It's been a long, long time. When no one came in, everything in this painting was frozen. We just watched and waited like this, and we don't know how long it has passed."

Gu Yao glanced at the other souls around him again, and roughly counted the number: "Are you the last soul locked here?"

"Yes, Le Sheng probably didn't give this scroll to anyone else."

"Can you tell me what kind of person Le Sheng is?"

"He, when he first met me, he was just an ordinary woodcutter."

The fox told the story of it and Lesheng. They have known each other for a long time, and it has been 40 years since it was imprisoned in this painting.

Le Sheng was originally a woodcutter in Luozhou Prefecture. When he was young, he went to the mountains to cut firewood, and met wolves. While fleeing for his life in the mountains, he accidentally fell into the fox's den, and smashed the fox who was practicing in the den into madness.

That's why the two of them got married.

Hiding in a hidden fox hole to escape the wolves' pursuit, Lesheng saw the fox vomiting blood and fainted when he left. In order to repay the kindness of saving his life, he took it back home, took good care of it, and invited a doctor to give it to him. It looks hurt.

Although he was scolded by the doctor and there was no cure for the fox, but under Le Sheng's careful care, the fox gradually improved.

Afterwards, it was a coincidence that the fox took the form of a human being and became Le Sheng's master. From the harmony between master and apprentice, he gradually developed into a master and apprentice sharing a bed together.

At that time, Le Sheng had mediocre aptitude, and the kung fu he practiced was still that of a fox, so although he had a little cultivation, he was not much better than ordinary people.

In the end, it was the fox who approached Chunyuandao, and obtained a copy of exercises and some superficial spells from there, together with some elixir that the fox had collected in the mountains and fields in the past, he barely let Le Sheng out. fairy road.

"Chunyuandao again? What's your relationship with Chunyuandao?" Gu Yao asked curiously when he heard about Chunyuandao again.

The fox said: "My family's ancestors were fortunate enough to be accepted as a demon pet by a fairy of Chunyuandao. Although I returned to the wild after that, I barely still had some kind of humanity."

He sighed again as he spoke: "It was also because of my kindness that Le Sheng got in that person's way, which finally led to today's situation."

"The man? Who?"

The fox recalled: "The man I was talking about was also a wild grass Taoist priest. I can't remember his Taoist name clearly. He studied the way of divine machine, so he was reluctantly favored by a pure yuan Taoist fairy. The carp jumped over the dragon gate and escaped from the wild. Mao became one of the top ten Divine Machine masters in the Great Week, and he later opened a Taoist temple in Luoyang City, and he was able to talk to the royal family."

"That man is very good at officialdom. He is good at doing things and being a man. He seeks to be both right and left. Therefore, even though Le Sheng was very average in all aspects at that time, that man still respected Le Sheng very much. He often communicated with him. Give the panacea, the magic weapon."

"Le Sheng also learned from his work. After his cultivation gradually improved, he stood on the mountain outside Luoyang City and became more and more intimate with that person."

"Afterwards, it was Le Sheng who got the scroll from him, and ended up falling into it. His personality gradually became more extreme, becoming more and more weird and violent, and finally... alas."

The fox sighed again.

Gu Yao listened to what it said, and turned around to look at the other locked souls.

Both men and women are attached to the furniture, their expressions are stiff, and their sanity seems to have disappeared.

"Pure Yuan Dao"

Gu Yao read the name of Chunyuan Dao, this Taoist temple, in fact, Gu Yao's impression of them is not bad, it can even be said that he has a good impression, although it is because of Yu Qiuyi.

After all, Yu Qiuyi once used Chunyuandao as his guarantee in Jingye Division, and won for him a place in Fuxi Pagoda.

Considering that Dao Liu Xuanfeng and others have a very good attitude towards Yu Qiuyi, Chun Yuan Dao should not be some evil way.

But the method of this picture scroll is indeed not the right way.

At least an upright magic weapon for refining the mind will not fail in the training of the mind, but restrain the Taoist partner of the mind training person instead.

In addition, the fox said that after getting the picture scroll, Le Sheng's personality became more extreme, weird and violent, which was not in line with the characteristics of the righteous magic weapon.

"This picture scroll, no matter how you look at it, is just a brothel. Even if there are many tricks in the leather case, there can still be a fox who can play, especially if this fox has a relationship with Chun Yuandao, and there must be more skills."

Gu Yao's eyes stopped on the fox again.

Moreover, Taoism is not a Buddhist school. In ancient times, there was a saying that three thousand maidens ascended in the sun, and now the way of harmony of yin and yang is also the right way.

No matter how you think about it, there are problems with this scroll.

"Have you ever heard of the Drunken Fragrance Master of Chunyuan Dao?"

The fox tilted his head: "I have heard of it, but I haven't said it."

"What do you mean?"

"This Taoist master was expelled from Chunyuan Dao. I only heard that person said when he was drinking with Le Sheng. It was probably related to the previous rebellion."

Gu Yao understood, this Drunken Fragrance Taoist, with a high probability, participated in the Saint Pirates, and was finally expelled by Chunyuan Dao.

"Le Sheng has received a Taiyin inheritance, do you know?"

"lunar."

The fox's ears twitched, as if he had thought of something: "Master Dao, I beg you for one thing. If you promise me, I will tell you everything. If you don't, then even if my soul is gone, I won't tell you anything. word."

Gu Yao stared at it, and the fox's dark eyes also stared at it.

After one person and one fox looked at each other for a while, Gu Yao said, "You talk first."

"I beg you to give Lesheng a chance to reform himself, he is not a bad guy, we have never done anything evil in the 40 years we have been together"

Gu Yao interrupted it: "I can only promise you that I will not kill him. Whether he has committed any evil deeds and what kind of punishment he should receive is for Jing Yesi to decide whether he should live or die. A wild grass."

The fox was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head again: "Yes, what you said is true, I was the one who was stunned."

"In Luoluo Mountain in Luozhou Prefecture, there is a tomb. The owner of the tomb calls himself Taiyin. If Le Sheng got some Taiyin inheritance, it should have something to do with that place. I only know so much."

Gu Yao nodded: "I will hand over this scroll to Jing Yesi, hoping they can save you."

After speaking, with a thought, Gu Yao withdrew from the picture scroll.

The candle has been extinguished silently.

"I didn't expect this Le Sheng to have a relationship with Chun Yuandao."

Carrying the scroll on his back, Gu Yao walked downstairs.

"Speaking of which, does the master of the magic machine that the fox just mentioned have something to do with the black dragon magic machine in Wuqi River?"

"But it's not necessarily true. Luoyang, as the eastern capital, should have a lot of masters of magic."

Walking lightly to the door, Gu Yao didn't push the door in a hurry, but listened for a long time before opening a crack.

After looking through the crack for a while, he made sure that there was no one there, so he opened the door and went out.

"There should be a lot of secrets in this Taoist temple. Should I take advantage of the heat tonight, or come back tomorrow?"

He had just closed the door when a figure floated down from above his head: "It's actually you, a little Taoist priest, who barged into my Taoist temple at night, and why?"

Gu Yao was a little surprised that Le Sheng had been hiding on the eaves, and he didn't attack him when he came out, so he could be regarded as upright.

Compared with Hong Yu and Bao Tian, ​​they don't look like people from the same road. Although their attitude is a bit unruly, and the white paper talisman is also a bit magical, it has the shadow of a formal small Taoist temple.

Le Sheng stood in the courtyard, bathed in the moonlight, looking extraordinary and refined, and with his already good skin, it was no surprise that he could charm that fox.

But with his polite appearance, Gu Yao didn't want to be rude, so he bowed immediately: "Fellow Daoist Le Sheng, we meet again. I just met your two partners, and I came here just now, but the result was unexpected." I found this attic very novel, so I came here to take a look.”

Le Sheng sneered: "The partner's statement is novel, and the reason for being a gentleman on the beam is also out of the ordinary. The poor Taoist view, there are many Maoshan comrades who attack at night, and the poor Taoist is caught, and you are the little Taoist. So peaceful."

This is to praise me for not being surprised.
Gu Yao showed a polite smile: "Fellow Daoist, to be honest, my master's time in the world is running out, but I accidentally learned that the three of you have a practice that may be useful to him, so I came to visit. "

"I have obtained the Taiyin Corpse Refinement Method and the Taiyin Refinement Method, but my master probably won't be able to use it. May I ask you to use your Taiyin Qi method to practice?"

The grandeur of these words made Le Sheng look shocked, and blurted out: "I have been practicing in the poor way for 70 years, and this is the first time I have seen a brazen person like you!"

"However, it is not impossible to practice the qi method of Taiyin that you want, just exchange it with the method."

Gu Yao sighed: "Fellow Daoist, you can't hold the method you want in me."

What you want, if you think with the head below, you can guess it. It is nothing more than Tianxin Lei. If you have a little vision, it is the Golden Light Curse.

But these two methods are really unacceptable, this Le Sheng looks like he wants to be famous in the world, if he is recognized by others, ten heads are not enough to die.

"Then there is nothing to say, put down the scroll, and the poor will let you go, otherwise, don't blame the ruthlessness."

Le Sheng waved his right arm, and the wide sleeve was wrapped around his hand a few times, as a gesture of invitation.

Gu Yao raised his hand: "Fellow Taoist, please enlighten me. By the way, who is the master of Shenji who you have made friends with?"

"How do you know that I am on good terms with Yishen Daoyou?"

Le Sheng blurted out, and then a look of joy appeared on his face: "Did you see Ping'er? Where is she?"

Is Master Shenji's dao name Yishen?

Just as Gu Yao was about to say that its soul was imprisoned in the painting, he was suddenly taken aback and thought of a question.

What is drawn away is the soul, and the physical body is still in reality. In Le Sheng's eyes, shouldn't it be dead?How can you ask where it is?
Gu Yao was quick-witted, and hurriedly asked, "Fellow Daoist Le Sheng, the bottle you asked about is a fox?"

"Yes, it's the fox. Where is Ping'er? If you can let me see Ping'er again, I'd like to give you the Taiyin practice qi method as a gift."

"Are you asking about its soul or its body?"

Hearing Gu Yao's words, Le Sheng clenched his hands tightly: "What do you mean? What are soul and body? Could it be that Ping'er is dead and the soul has been taken away?"

The flesh is gone.
Gu Yao gasped, and took the scroll from behind his back: "Fellow Daoist, haven't you seen the physical body of your fellow Daoist?"

"Its soul is in this painting."

Le Sheng's eyes widened, his figure was like the wind, leaving a string of phantoms in the darkness, and he reached out to grab the scroll, but Gu Yao blocked him: "Don't worry, fellow daoist, there is a big problem with this scroll."

Le Sheng didn't listen, and his arm turned into ice jade. Gu Yao had no choice but to cast the Golden Light Curse, and a fire and thunder shot out, blowing him up and saying: "Don't worry, fellow daoist, you don't have my supernatural powers, don't you see me?" to it."

"You have been in so many times in the past, can you see it once?"

Just as Le Sheng was about to come back, he froze when he heard Gu Yao's words.

After a while, he gave a wry smile, withdrew his hands and said, "What Fellow Daoist said is that I lost my composure."

"this way please."

Then he waved his hand and said.

Gu Yao followed him to another courtyard.

"This is my living room, it's a bit shabby, don't blame fellow Daoists."

After asking Gu Yao to sit down, Le Sheng brought tea and couldn't wait: "Daoist friend, you said earlier that Ping'er's soul is in the painting?"

Gu Yao briefly explained the situation.

Le Sheng's complexion was like an overturned paint slate, with various colors constantly changing.

Finally, he sighed: "It turns out that when I was happy in the painting, Ping'er was watching from the side. I don't have the face to face it."

Gu Yao couldn't help complaining: "Your wife was detained and imprisoned, and your first reaction was that you were watched while you were working."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Le Sheng came back to his senses, a little ashamed.

Immediately he asked: "The Taoist friend, can your spell that can see Ping'er's soul be passed on, Pindao is willing to pay any price."

Gu Yao sighed: "Daoist friend, even if I want to teach this technique, I may not be able to spread it. I may be the only one in the world who can learn it. The way I learned it is very special."

"Is that so?"

Le Sheng showed disappointment, and picked up the teacup: "Daoist friends, please use tea."

Gu Yao picked up the teacup and was about to drink it when he took a sniff and his face froze.

The smell of sage.

This Lesheng looks like a nice guy.
Putting down the teacup calmly: "Fellow Daoist, do you want to be a good person?"

Le Sheng put down his teacup, confused: "What is this talking about? A poor man is naturally a gentleman."

"Then why do you put sage in your tea?"

As soon as the word sage came out, Le Sheng's expression changed: "Sage? How is it possible? Where did the sage come from?"

He took a look at his teacup, handed it to Gu Yao, took Gu Yao's cup and sniffed it, and drank it in one gulp under Gu Yao's surprised eyes.

"Where's the sage?"

Gu Yao: "."

He looked at Le Sheng's cup and smelled it: "Friend Daoist, it looks like you've... Who made this tea?"

"My disciple."

Thinking of the three people thrown by him on the road: "Disciples? How many disciples do you have?"

"Three are named, and one enters the room. This tea is cooked by my disciple who entered the room."

As he spoke, he shouted loudly: "Xiu Cheng, Xiu Cheng, come here!"

Following his shout, a neatly dressed little Taoist priest ran in from the door.

This Taoist priest's face is very interesting, half white, half black, the white side looks like an old man, and the dark side looks extremely young.

It's really weird.

The little Taoist came in and knelt down in front of Le Sheng: "Master, what do you want me to tell you?"

"Is there sage in this tea?"

Gu Yao noticed that the little Taoist priest trembled, and then cried out: "Master is wronged, how dare the disciple do this? What's more, the master's cultivation is advanced, what effect can sage have on the master?"

The voice of this little Taoist also seemed to be the voices of two people, one old and one young, mixed together, disturbing the soul, Gu Yao's mind was shaken again.

"That's true." Le Sheng's expression became a little tired.

The little Taoist continued to cry: "Master, this person must be plotting to steal your celestial law, hurry up!"

Following his words, Le Sheng's eyes gradually became confused.

Gu Yao watched with interest.

The spell used by this little Taoist should be hypnotic induction, but since it still needs the assistance of sage, it should not be as good as the previous female disciple's divine consciousness.

Seeing that Le Sheng seemed to be really motivated by him, Gu Yao stood up, appeared behind Le Sheng, and put his hand on his neck.

The little Taoist looked at Gu Yao's actions, and his tone became a lot more excited: "What are you going to do? Master, he wants to kill you and break your dick."

Before he could finish speaking, Le Sheng suddenly opened his mouth, spit out a mouthful of yellow soup and green water, and sprayed it on his face.

Immediately there were also large streams of gastric juice and blood, which were all spit out.

The little Taoist was sprayed so hard that he didn't say a word, but just watched Le Sheng spraying water on him in great pain.

Water travels three thousand words, although it is not much, but it is quite simple to let Le Sheng, who will not resist, spray water.

Feeling that Le Sheng had almost sprayed, Gu Yao withdrew his hand: "Fellow Daoist, are you awake?"

After all, Le Sheng was also a Taoist who practiced Qi Huashen. Although he spit out a lot of water, he quickly regained his senses. Seeing that the little Taoist was about to run, he raised his hand and a white light flew out, freezing him into an ice sculpture.

"I made fellow daoists laugh, please wait a moment."

He clutched his chest and walked back.

Gu Yao probably went to replenish water. Gu Yao changed to a place far away from the juice on the ground and sat.

Sure enough, after coming here for a while, Le Sheng returned with his complexion restored a lot.

He bowed to Gu Yao, grabbed the little Taoist priest, slapped him faintly on the ground, slapped the three white paper talismans, and slapped them, pulling his soul out.

"who are you?"

"Outer disciples of the Jiuqian Taoist Temple, you have great faith."

Le Sheng clicked with his hand and crushed the handle of the chair.

"Fellow Daoist?" Gu Yao asked curiously.

"Hehehe, it turned out to be him, he was plotting against me." Le Sheng gritted his teeth, and explained to Gu Yao: "Master Shenji, who is good with me, the first deep Taoist temple is the nine shallow Taoist temple."

"It looks like he gave you this picture scroll on purpose, but why did he plot against you?"

Le Sheng was able to take a deep breath, calmly said: "I can't figure this out, let me ask."

After some inquiries, he was a little disappointed with the results.

Although this little Taoist is said to be an outside sect of Jiuqian Taoist Temple, he is actually an apprentice with art, but he just found a backer, more like a student of a guest.

He didn't know many secrets, and he was ordered to come here, but he just wanted to subtly manipulate him to influence him and monitor him by the way.

After Le Sheng asked clearly, he slapped his soul away with his palm: "What a wicked person, he actually plotted against me like this, it was in vain for me to think that he and I have a sincere friendship."

"Then, is it possible that he is also scheming about your Taoist companion? After all, he also gave you this picture scroll."

Le Sheng sullenly said, "It's very possible."

"It's a pity that you just broke his soul in a rage, or you will hand him over to Jing Yesi"

"It's useless. Yishen is Chunyuandao's son-in-law, and also a well-known master of magic tricks in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is impossible for him alone to influence Yishen."

Le Sheng said and thanked Gu Yao: "Thank you, fellow daoist, if it weren't for fellow daoist, I'm afraid I would be turned into a puppet by him sooner or later."

"Thinking back now, I have done many foolish things over the years, all of which were induced by this beast. It is really hateful!"

He took out a booklet from his bosom and handed it to Gu Yao: "Friend Daoist, this is the Taiyin practice qi method you want, and the other part is the Jiuyou Xuanming talisman, that is, the white paper talisman, which is from the Taiyin inheritance. Thank you fellow daoist for your life-saving grace.”

Gu Yao didn't refuse, and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist."

"Can this scroll be returned to me temporarily? Pindao wants to find a friend tomorrow, and ask him to help my husband and wife."

Gu Yao hesitated, but returned the scroll to him: "Fellow Daoist, if you can, you should go with Jing Yesi."

Le Sheng took it, and said with a wry smile: "Fellow Daoist, you don't know the influence of Chunyuan Dao in Chang'an and Luoyang. In a certain sense, they have more face here than Tianshi Mansion."

The two exchanged a few more words, and Gu Yao left.

Le Sheng carried the painting on his back, and under the leadership of Gu Yao, he found the three apprentices. While healing the three of them, he said: "Fellow Daoist, I will leave at night. If we meet again in the future, I will repay the kindness of my kindness tonight."

After finishing speaking, he led the three apprentices and disappeared into the night in a hurry.

Gu Yao looked at the way he was leaving: "I always feel something is wrong, but that's all, let's go back to the old man first, and see if these three Taiyin methods are helpful to him."
