Tiandao is not working today

Chapter 15
In Chashan Fort, there are people patrolling day and night.

In addition to a team of village braves, there are also ten powerful warriors who wander around various areas with lanterns.

When they passed the workshop area, they heard the sound of iron striking.

"Clang clang clang!"

"Huh? Who's still blacksmithing at this late hour?" The one-eyed warrior in the lead asked the left and right.

Others replied: "It should be that there are still craftsmen rushing to work late at night..."

They followed the sound and came to the outside of the smelting field. Looking inside, there were rows of blacksmith shops, only one was lit, and the fire was brightly lit in the night.

From a distance, I saw a young man with a concentrated expression, his muscles tensed, hammering hard... He forged one round, then quenched it, and waited for the interval between tempering, he kept hitting another piece.

So repeatedly, there is no meaning of rest.

"Oh, I remember him," said a martial artist, "This kid offended Guanshi Liao and was fined for dinner. Maybe it was Guanshi Liao who made him beat the iron all night and didn't allow him to sleep."

"Why?" the one-eyed warrior asked.

A bystander replied: "Don't we know Guanshi Liao? A villain! So I am not surprised that some people are punished and not allowed to rest."

The one-eyed warrior chuckled lightly, neither food nor sleep, and doing such heavy physical work, is to kill people.

Doesn't that boy know?It's late at night, and no one is in charge, so I don't know how to be lazy for a while?Have a solid eye?
But he pondered for a while, and led his men to continue patrolling: "Everyone be alert, there are monsters in and out of Chashan recently."

"Master Ma, is there really a monster?" A thin warrior asked.

"Really!" Teacher Ma touched the cloth covering his left eye, and said solemnly: "And the demonic aura is terrifying! The castle master personally went up the mountain to test it, it may be the stage of spiritual consciousness..."

"hiss!"

Hearing the words "Spirit Consciousness Period", many warriors present became tense. To warriors, this is definitely a monster.

"Don't panic, the castle is very popular. What are we afraid of with so many warriors? Besides, the castle owner is noble, and the monsters dare not do harm. We are all registered as soldiers. The castle owner is sure that even if the monster comes, it will be a big deal to eat a few." Untouchables." Coach Ma's tone was calm.

The skinny warrior said worriedly: "But...what if the monsters don't care about the mortal world and insist on eating us?"

Instructor Ma laughed loudly: "For those of us who practice martial arts, it is true that it is very beneficial, but Hong Chenhuo's backlash is even more harmful, and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, so why bother?"

"If a monk kills a well-organized sergeant with magic power, if there is no special secret method to resolve it, it is estimated that he will be damaged by the fire of the world for a year."

"What kind of concept is this? The most famous power in the world, Penglai Great Immortal An Yusheng, has been practicing since the pre-Qin period, and today he has at least five or six hundred years of Taoism. This... is enough to kill five or six hundred soldiers... ..."

"A hundred years ago, Sun Bofu, the little overlord of Jiangdong, was arrogant and arrogant. He offended Yu Ji, a Taoist of Taiping, and wanted to put him to death several times. The king's appearance, red dust and fire can be said to have reached 80 years of Taoism, so in the end, Yu Ji just recruited ghosts and frightened every night, plus secretly calculated, and operated ordinary cause and effect to make him die suddenly."

All the warriors nodded, they have all heard of this.The elites are prosperous, followed by poor scholars, secondly by sergeants and officers, and untouchables are the weakest.

If the immortals and monsters are backlashed by the red dust and fire, their Taoism will be burned, and their realm will drop.

The skinny warrior said nervously: "The fire of a nobleman is not necessarily immune to evil. If you are displaced, hungry and cold, and reduced to a miserable situation like a refugee, the fire of the world will rapidly decline."

Everyone looked dignified, and the world of mortals was not static.

In the current chaotic world, many nobles have fallen into poverty, many people have been displaced, and the anger has weakened even more, and then evildoers have sprung up everywhere!

The skinny warrior continued: "And I heard that there are still many ways for immortals or demons to weaken the mortal fire of us mortals?"

Coach Ma curled his lips: "There are indeed many ways... Some noble sons acted recklessly, were stupid and hopeless, and were cut down by monsters."

"But that's mostly self-defeating!"

The thin warrior looked confused: "Did you die?"

Coach Ma said: "There are many things that can weaken Hongchenhuo, the most serious one is the oath! It is permanent and irreversible."

"For example, the son of the Shen family in Leling used to be the most promiscuous. The monster played some tricks, saying that it was a Wushan goddess, and wanted to spend time with him and be a fairy couple forever... He really believed it!"

"Then the monster coaxed her to swear to the sky indiscriminately. The young master was so lustful that he swore several oaths but refused to do so. He was shaved off [-]% of his mortal fire and died at the hands of the monster."

All the warriors laughed: "How dare you act recklessly, dare to swear to the sky casually? If the heaven protects him, he will be a ghost."

"The wealthy sons should all know that you can't swear at will..."

"He knows it from above, but he doesn't know from below!"

"Hahaha! What a knife on Sezi's head!"

The skinny warrior was a little surprised: "Teacher Ma is so well-informed, he even knows the secrets of such a wealthy family!"

Instructor Ma smiled complacently: "I am a famous family of Yanshan School for a hundred years, how can I get my name in vain?"

Everyone envied, although the Yanshan faction has lost even the mountain gate because of the barbarian rampage, but it was indeed a famous sect before.Coach Ma learned his skills in Yanshan, and even the nobles were treated with courtesy, which is naturally different from those rural warriors like them.

The skinny warrior cupped his hands and said, "I don't know what other taboos are there, please tell us about them, so that I, like crude warriors, can be wary of monsters."

"Yeah, yeah... I'll ask Coach Ma to give me some pointers!"

Many warriors present did not understand Hongchenhuo, so they asked for advice.

Coach Ma's face was full of pride: "Since that's the case, let me tell you... Zhan Hongchen, you know?"

"Cut Hongchen?" All the warriors were at a loss.

Teacher Ma smiled: "You have never thought about it, the emperor's old son clearly pursues longevity, why doesn't he cultivate immortality?"

"Because there are no fairy bones?" The skinny warrior replied.

Jiaotou Ma shook his head and said: "Let me put it another way, why don't people with immortal bones in the royal family become emperors? Even the generation with immortal bones in the great families are not the head of the family? Everyone in the civil and military dynasties loves to talk about mysteries, But there is no immortal cultivator?"

"It's because the first step to step into the immortal way is to cut the world of mortals!"

"Cut off your own mortal fire, and become an outsider from now on!"

"They can't have any secular power! Only in this way can they use fairy bones!"

"The body quencher cuts the world of mortals, activates the immortal bones, gathers mana, and then sees through the psychic, and steps into the immortal way. This is the spiritual stage."

All the warriors are stunned, but everyone is hopeless, so this is just a story.

The thin warrior asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with us? We don't have immortal bones, so how can we kill the world of mortals?"

"Yes!" Instructor Ma said in a deep voice, "Anyone can make a vow to the Dao of Heaven to kill their own mortal flames."

"In the old days, the son of the Gao family in Pingcheng was bewitched by monsters, and since he was slain in the world of mortals, he has been reduced to a meal..."

All the warriors were dumbfounded: "This... this is too stupid!"

Teacher Ma shook his head: "That young master already has a fairy bone, but he is young and has not yet tempered his body with one yuan. The monster helped him temper his body. Under the two brothers, the monster asked him to kill the world immediately and break through quickly. There are not many young masters. I thought, so..."

All the warriors looked at each other: "Anyway, we don't have fairy bones, so we just need to be killed without cutting the world of mortals... No one can coax us!"

"Hong Chenhuo doesn't have to kill himself, others can too!" Teacher Ma gave them a sideways look.

"What!" Everyone was shocked.

Coach Ma continued: "There are three things that cut the world of mortals, the first is the way of heaven! The second is the Son of Heaven!"

"As long as the Son of Heaven has a formal sacrificial rite to pray to heaven, he can kill the red dust of anyone under the control of the country! Well, if the aristocratic family controls the government, it can be done with the hands of the Son of Heaven."

The skinny warrior asked, "What about the third one?"

"Of course it's a magic weapon!" Teacher Ma said longingly, "It's said that the great power of the refiner can refine a magic weapon that contains the charm of the way of heaven. This thing can cut the world. Killing mortals, they just disdain it."

The skinny warrior smiled and said, "Our monsters aren't that powerful, are they? But are there other taboos?"

"Haha, that's right, what kind of aloof existence is that to attain great power in the Dao realm? The monsters that infeste the tea mountain will never try to achieve it in their lifetime, so cutting the world of mortals is nothing to worry about."

"That's right, Coach Ma, let me tell you something simple."

All the warriors were talking and laughing, and they had already inspected the barn.

Unexpectedly, Teacher Ma's face darkened: "There are simple ways, but what if the monsters listen to it?"

"If this monster hides in the dark, and it happens that it doesn't know how to cut off the world of mortals! I said it, and it has learned it!"

"Uh..." Everyone's expressions changed.

Coach Ma glanced at them suspiciously: "You guys have been making noises, asking me to tell you how to cut off Hongchenhong! I almost took it lightly!"

"Could it be that the monster is among you?"

He paid attention to everyone's expressions, but everyone looked at others nervously in astonishment.

The performances are all natural, none of them look like monsters.

"Master Ma, is there a mistake?"

"We have worked together for many years and know each other well..."

They were chattering all over the place, and Coach Ma became irritated and shouted: "Enough! Monsters can confuse people's hearts the most. I'll kill anyone who talks nonsense!"

Then he drew his knife and pointed at the skinny warrior with sharp eyes: "You! You were the one who made the noise at the beginning, and you were the one who encouraged me to tell the way from the beginning to the end!"

For a moment, everyone looked at the thin warrior, and in retrospect, it was indeed so!

The thin warrior stared wide-eyed, took a step forward, and anxiously explained: "No, I just..."

"Don't let him come close to me! Kneel down for me!" Instructor Ma's hand was full of knife aura, with awe-inspiring killing intent.

The skinny warrior immediately knelt down with a thud: "My lord! It's really not me!"

Seeing that he really knelt down and didn't resist, Coach Ma's face softened a little: "It seems that it's not you, otherwise at this time, you have to make a move or run away. How could you kneel down?"

"Oh, that's right! It's really not me!" The skinny warrior heaved a sigh of relief.

Instructor Ma pointed his sword at the others and said coldly, "What about you? Kneel down too!"

Everyone knelt on the ground in unison, but saw a young man walking out of the barn at this moment, carrying two bundles of grass in his hands.

They all recognized that it was the blacksmith boy they had seen not long ago.

This is a pariah, they must have been upset before, how could they kneel down to him?

But now the situation is special, seeing that the boy didn't move away quickly, but looked at them curiously, accepting it calmly, all the warriors could only swallow this breath, the most urgent thing is to clarify themselves and find the monster.

As for this untouchable, let him kneel down, let's get over the matter in front of him first.

But at this moment, Coach Ma's voice suddenly became calm: "You are all so obedient, it seems that none of you are monsters... I am."

"You...you!" All the warriors were terrified.

"Let me continue, there is another little-known method to cut the world of mortals..."

"That year, the son of the Qu family in Beihai County was tricked by monsters into thinking that a woodcutter in the mountains was a high-ranking immortal, so he knelt down to him, causing his whole body to weaken and become a monster's meal."

"It turned out that the woodcutter was just a pariah, and he was homeless, terminally ill, and had nothing left to scold the sky, causing the red dust and fire on his body to disappear."

"And if you take the initiative to kneel down to the untouchables who have no mortal fire at all, your own anger will explode."

Coach Ma's voice was erratic, and even a terrifying and cold aura enveloped them like tarsal maggots and penetrated into the bodies of all warriors.

After hearing those words, all the warriors hurriedly wanted to stand up, but it was already too late, and they felt so weak under the cold air that they couldn't stand up at all!

"Help... help!"

"There are monsters!"

"Don't kill...don't kill me..."

"Gollum..."

They wailed in despair, but water-like tentacles spread from behind, sweeping across their bodies.

Soon everyone was wrapped in the water, floating in the air, struggling desperately.

Coach Ma's voice became more and more like a woman's, and he said with emotion in a reminiscing tone: "Actually, the young master of the Shen family in Leling was not a flirtatious person, but he really loved me."

"I made him swear ten times one after another, but in the end I only cut [-]% of the worldly fire... I didn't realize until I was eating him that he made a sincere oath to marry me."

"Oh, so to commemorate him, I have been called Shen Leling since then... giggle hee hee..."

The nine warriors trapped in the water were terrified and in extreme pain, feeling that their energy was being sucked away.

The emaciated warrior stretched out his hand from the water to the untouchable boy, and shouted, "Quick...call...someone!"

However, his voice could not break through this water membrane.

"Hehehehe... Aren't we the patrol team? Who else do you want to call?"

"I took you around twice just now, and the spiritual consciousness covers a radius of hundreds of feet. There is no one else nearby except this young man."

"It's really lucky. When I first sneaked in, I met a mortal who didn't have a world of mortals."

At this time, Shen Leling was still occupying Coach Ma's body, countless streams of water were spreading out from behind Coach Ma's one-eyed blindfold.

When using this magic technique, Coach Ma's skin was as pale as a dead man's, his pupils were slack and lifeless, and his body was stiff and dry. It could be seen that he had been dead for a long time.

Gulululu, countless bubbles appeared in the water film, and the nine fighters stopped moving, as if they had been squeezed dry.

With a thud, the body fell to the ground, and it shattered, crisp like a dead autumn leaf.

"Hey! Young man, you are miserable. You don't have any red dust." Shen Leling was very happy. She was able to eliminate the nine warriors so smoothly because the young man in front of her had no red dust at all.

This is actually quite rare.

Displaced, embarrassed, and trapped in life, it just weakens a person's mortal world, not erases it.

As long as the background is okay, no matter how poor you are, you will have a little guarantee.Many refugees, victims of disasters, and untouchables actually still have a little bit of it. If they have served as soldiers or officials before, the guarantee will be even greater.

There are very few mortals in the world who are completely devoid of mortals. God knows what it is like to come from such a lowly background... Or do you often scold the sky and play?She has only met one such 'abandoned man' in her life, and she died of illness very soon, but she did not expect to meet another one now, who is actually healthy and full of energy.

"Hehehe, poor boy, there is no price for me to eat you." Shen Leling's voice vibrated from the gurgling water.

A stream of water was like a thread, winding around the boy, strangling his throat, and then circling upwards, finally forming a woman's face on the side of the boy's left ear.

The boy asked curiously, "Are you a monster?"

"..." Shen Leling's laughter faltered, and he twisted the countless water tentacles suspiciously: Is it not obvious enough that I am a monster?

"Yes! I am a monster! The world-shaking monster!"

The young man looked at the countless water tentacles carefully, as if looking at a rare animal: "I heard that monsters are cruel and vicious, so will you whip me too?"

"Flogging? Hahaha!" Shen Leling laughed tremblingly: "No, I will eat you!"

The boy looked serious: "Will he die?"

Shen Leling was speechless, didn't he know that people would die if they were eaten?
At this moment, the young man touched the stream of water wrapped around his body, and then suddenly stuck out his tongue to lick her condensed face!
After licking, I smashed my mouth and found that there was no taste.

"You!" Shen Leling snapped back the water, the boy's behavior was beyond her expectation.

Dazed for a moment, he said: "Hehehe... I cannibalize countless people! Young man, aren't you afraid of death?"

"Afraid! Don't eat me."

Shen Leling smiled: "Okay, then you have to listen to me, from now on, I'll let you... why are you going!"

"It's fine if you don't eat me. Let's talk about it tomorrow. I don't have time tonight. I have to go to blacksmith!" The boy ran away when he heard that he wouldn't eat him.

Shen Leling was dumbfounded, what kind of fool is this?If you see a monster, you still want to go to the iron?
No wonder it would offend the steward, it's not unreasonable.

"Hehehehehehehehehe... interesting."

She didn't chase after him, and she didn't want to eat the young man, after all, he was a mortal without fire, and only hungry and thirsty monsters would eat him, so she had to make good use of it.

In an instant, countless water streams drilled back from the eye sockets, and the body of the horse instructor slowly regained its blood color, and the pupils shrank again.

He smiled faintly, fixed the blindfold, cleaned up the scene, and then ran away pretending to be panicked.

"There are monsters! There are monsters!"
