Inuyasha's journey to immortality

Chapter 142 The deal with Monk Shenquan! (Please subscribe!)

Manganji Temple.

The monastery where the eminent monk Shenquan practiced.

According to legend, this master once sealed a powerful monster that caused trouble.

Li Xia came here just for one of the things that the other party had sealed when he was young.

And he was lucky, his goal was not harmed by Naraku's previous actions.

...

"Wow..."

The wooden door was opened from the outside.

A young novice stepped in and brought a cup of tea to the two people in the room, the old and the young.

At this moment, the old monk suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

That is the direction of the mountain behind the temple.

"Master Shenquan, what's wrong with you?"

The young novice monk who had put down the tea was not very good at nourishing his qi, so he couldn't control his temper and asked directly.

Across the tea table, Li Xia picked up the fragrant tea on the table, put it to his mouth, blew it and listened quietly.

(Li Xia is currently wearing a cassock, carrying a demon-conquering pestle and a scroll of scriptures, and a staff beside him. There are faint dragon patterns wandering in some exposed parts of his body. It looks like a green dragon. )
  After hearing this, Monk Shenquan frowned slightly, then relaxed and shook his head:
  "Hmm... maybe I'm being paranoid. I just seemed to hear the neighing of the flaming hoof..."

"Flamehoof? What is that?"

The little novice monk blinked.

"It's the demon horse I sealed in the back mountain temple..."

The old monk glanced at Li Xia who was taking a peck at the tea, but he didn't care much:
  "Flaming Hoof is as strong as its name suggests. It is a horse demon with flames on its feet.

Able to travel three thousand miles a day, his legs are extremely strong..."

"Can you travel three thousand miles a day? It's quite impressive."

Li Xia secretly praised it.

You know, even if a monster flies, physical strength must be considered, and it also consumes monster power.

When Ah Ba was flying with people, he had to land and rest for a while every section of the journey.

(This is why it is difficult for miscellaneous monsters to fly across the sea. The sea in the Warring States Period was only more dangerous than the land. Various water monsters can even scare away most of the higher-level monsters on land. Unless you find the right direction. Cross the strait in one breath, otherwise, the monsters on this land will not easily risk flying to the wider continent with greater and more competitive pressure.

Here, the top big monsters Flying Monster Moth and Kirinmaru have something to say. )
  And Yan Hoo can travel three thousand miles a day, which is already very impressive.

Across the tea table, Monk Shenquan called another disciple and continued:
  "When this monster horse was alive, it was actually a magical horse that was rare to see in a hundred years. After it was burned to death in a fire, its resentment lingered, and resentful spirits appeared in the world. When I was young, there was a widely circulated legend. Rumor has it that 'whoever rides on the flaming hooves can dominate the world'!"

The old monk also blew some tea.

After taking a small sip, he recounted some past events:

"Although I don't know who spread this statement, it was extremely popular at the time; both monsters and powerful humans were moved by it. Because of this, countless humans and monsters surrounded Flame Hoof The dispute lasted for a long time, making the world restless and warring everywhere."

"After many battles, a monster called the Purgatory Ghost survived, and the flaming hoof allowed him to drive around from then on."

"The guy called the Purgatory Ghost is not a peaceful master. After getting the Flame Hoof, he became even more violent and caused more damage to human villages than in the past. Because of that guy's chaos, the nearby villages were miserable. .At that time, some villagers happened to find me, hoping that I could subdue the hell ghosts and flaming hoofs that were doing evil everywhere..."

Having said this, the old monk paused again.

While reminiscing about the green days of the past, he took a leisurely sip of tea.

"A big battle broke out between the Purgatory Ghost and Flame Hoof. The battle lasted for three days and three nights..."

"After that, it took another three days and three nights to seal the flaming hoof..."

Li Xia was stunned for a while after hearing this.

Three days + three days, Master, are you serious?
  Are you sure you can survive six days without food or water?

Even he would feel hungry if he didn't eat for a day. I didn't drink water for three days, and when I saw water, I wanted to jump in and take a bath. Six days and six nights of intense fighting...

Uh, I don’t dare to think about it, I don’t dare to think about it.

That's definitely not something a normal person can endure.

"...The Purgatory Ghost and Flame Hoof were sealed in two places by me. Among them, Flame Hoof was pressed under the shrine on the mountain behind the temple!
  My little friend came here this time, but for those flaming hooves? "

While Monk Shenquan was speaking, all his eyes fell on Li Xia, completely ignoring his two disciples.

"Master Shenquan, please set a price! I want to buy Yanho with food!"

Li Xia, who had been silent before, drank the warm tea in the cup and spoke with a smile.

"Using food to buy Yanho?"

Master Shenquan, who was nearly seventy years old, raised his eyebrows.

Extremely surprised by this statement.

"Don't worry, Master, I can ensure that I use it for my own use and won't let it cause harm to anyone.

As for why food is used in exchange?
  One is to reduce some of the burden on Wanyuan Temple. After all, the operation of the temple also requires expenses, and this batch of materials should help Wanyuan Temple recruit more outstanding disciples to pass on the incense. Forgive me for my poor eyesight, but the qualifications of these two junior brothers..."

It’s hard to describe in one word.

Moreover, not only did these two people not help much in the original work, they also acted as a burden and severely defrauded Monk Shenquan, allowing the old monk to take the lunch box and go offline.

Although I clearly have the guidance and teachings of eminent monks and have been practicing for more than ten years, I have no Buddhist power or magic power at all.

This talent and brain are equally difficult to describe.

Monk Shenquan is also very ambitious in hoping that these two will inherit the incense of Manganji Temple.

"Without the restraints of Flame Hoof, the master can spare more energy and time to teach his disciples and cultivate more outstanding successors for Buddhism. This is of greater significance to human beings in today's era where demons are rampant, isn't it? ?"

"So instead of spending all your efforts to suppress the flaming hoof, it's better to leave it to me to subdue it to avoid future troubles. What do you think, master?"

Li Xia's words were very sincere.

He didn't rob her hard when he came up, and he didn't mean to go whoring for nothing; instead, everyone traded fairly within the rules, and everyone got what they needed, and everyone was happy.

This really gives face to the kind-hearted old monk in front of me.

At the same time, it can be regarded as a feedback to Master Bai Xin’s teachings.

"Are you really capable of conquering Yanho?
  Yanho's strength is not weak.

It is different from the ghost in hell.

The demonic power of the Purgatory Ghost is not too strong. When I was young, my magic power was superior to his. Therefore, after being suppressed by me for decades, he became a lot weaker.

As for the horse demon Yan Tu, his demon power is on par with me when I was young, or even slightly better than mine. This means that even if I try to save it day by day for decades, the effect is not very good. Not only does its resentment not dissipate, but it becomes more condensed.

I even doubted that if I had faced Flame Hoof, who has not become weaker but has become three points stronger now, when I was young, would I still have a chance of winning? ! "

Monk Shenquan said seriously.

Anyway, as he is old now, he doesn’t have much chance of winning:
  "Little friend Li Xia, it's not that I don't want to release Flame Hoof for you to control because of my reputation, but do you really have the ability to conquer it?"     If the two major troubles of Flame Hoof and the Purgatory Ghost can be eliminated, he can Desirable.

He also seeks peace and relaxation.

He has tried his best over the years. In order to eliminate Yan Ho's resentment and transcend it; for decades, he rarely slept peacefully. He was just afraid that Yan Ho would break the seal and come out to settle accounts with him.

"Master, what do you think of my little pet shikigami?"

Li Xia took off his cassock and exposed half of his body.

An extraordinary green dragon was swimming above it, its eyes full of majesty.

It's the poisonous dragon.

"This is the shikigami you contracted after surrendering?! Hiss... such a strong sense of oppression!"

The old monk's expression changed.

The pressure conveyed by his eyes alone was probably several times stronger than Yan Hoof back then.

"Dragon...Dragon...Dragon..."

After the two young novices looked at the poisonous dragon, they both stuttered and couldn't speak clearly.

When the poisonous dragon crawled out of Li Xia's body and showed a little breath, the powerful aura was released; the pressure that had been restrained to an unknown extent immediately made the two young monks instinctively hug each other and tremble.

"Huh? Qingfang, Shifang, calm down."

Master Shenquan scolded.

Seeing the disgraceful performance of his two disciples, he sighed secretly in his heart: These two children are indeed not suitable to inherit the foundation of Mangan Temple.

Both talent and character are too weak.

Especially the character of mind.

Like a child who never grows up.

Although he is two or three years older than the young man in front of him, he cannot even reach one-tenth or even one-hundredth of his age.

When will I be able to stand alone?
  Once he passes away and Manganji Temple falls into the hands of these two children, is he afraid that his own sign will be destroyed immediately? When the afterglow of Manganji Temple dissipates, will it be time for the great temple to decline? And this kind of decline is a serious irresponsibility for the surrounding villages.

That’s all, that’s all…

"Little friend, if you can subdue Flame Hoof, why not take it away? Come with me."

The old monk stood up and left the room, leading the way with firm steps, pointing directly to the mountain behind.

rear.

Li Xia really didn't expect that the cowardly performance of the two young novice monks would serve as an excellent assist to help him "persuade" Master Shenquan.

...

The group came to the back mountain.

Li Xia then set up a large-scale hidden barrier.

Later, Monk Shenquan unlocked the seal in the temple.

next moment.

The mountain cracked, and raging flames emerged from the ground, instantly enveloping the dozens of meters high hill in front of everyone.

When the two young novice monks saw this, they all exclaimed.

At the same time, an angry roar came up from the ground.

Immediately afterwards, flames exploded and swept across the entire mountain; a pillar of fire rose into the sky with lightning, and large areas of the mountain cracked, shattered, and flew in the wind.

Among the two young monks, the younger one was so frightened that he hooked his arms around the elder's neck and even clamped his legs around the elder's waist. All the ugliness comes out.

He doesn't look like a practitioner at all.

midair.

The flames gathered together, and there was a halo surrounding them.

When the raging fire dimmed a little, a handsome flaming horse appeared.

It is "Hoof of Flame".

The skin of this demon horse is pure white, with flames stepping on each hoof, its tail is scarlet, and its eyes are blazing red!

He looked up to the sky and screamed, and demonic clouds gathered in a radius of two miles.

And accompanied by lightning and thunder.

When Yan Tu saw the Shenquan monk below, their eyes met, and a fierce light immediately surged in his eyes.

At the same time, there was also a hint of fear.

"Little friend, it's up to you."

Master Shenquan, who was holding the demon-subduing pestle, said with an unusually solemn expression.

Yanho's momentum has indeed become stronger.

It's just a little bit stronger than when he sealed it.

I am old now, and although my magic power has not declined much, my physical strength, energy, reflexes, etc. are really not as good as before.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the infected hoof will be cured.

I just hope that little friend Li Xia didn't joke with him.

Fortunately.

Li Xia's strength is quite strong.

First, a blue barrier appeared covering an area of ​​more than two hundred meters, covering four people and one horse.

Immediately, part of the power of the barrier took effect, wrapping up the two young novice monks who were frequently showing ugly behavior and sending them out.

Then he faced the flaming hoof in mid-air, which was constantly breathing out hot flames from its mouth:
  "Poisonous dragon, take it down."

A green dragon emerged from the body and suddenly turned into a hundred meter giant dragon.

This move not only startled Monk Shenquan; facing the poisonous dragon's flaming hoof, the horse's eyes widened and blinked again and again, making him unable to understand.

However, its speed and agility are almost limitless.

Let the poisonous dragon take the lead and miss the target.

"So fast!"

When Li Xia saw this, his eyes lit up.

Not only was he not annoyed, but he was happy.

The stronger the Flame Hoof is, the more valuable it is to conquer.
