Chapter 23 Exorcising Evil
Since ancient times, all the dragon veins in the world have originated from Kunlun and returned from Kunlun.
The mountains and rivers are all shaped by the dragon veins, which never stop and will never stop. Even so, they can still leave a little bit of residual energy to nourish the mountains and rivers.
The so-called "subduing the dragon" means to subdue the dragon vein.
To survey the mountains and determine their veins, so that they may be used for one's own purposes.
Such a shocking method was something Li Shoujing had never heard of or seen before. After his master exposed it, he was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.
"I originally thought that Master Fulong had the ability to subdue dragons and tigers, but I never thought that he had the ability to drive mountains and urge the flow of energy."
"First, disrupt that beast's celestial phenomena, then seize its life in one fell swoop!"
The old Taoist priest glared fiercely at the mountain peak.
Boom!
The torrential rain poured down from the leaden clouds, and countless branches and animal carcasses slid down the mountain path.
Li Shoujing hastily wiped the rain from his face and loosened his belt to cover the incense offerings. Then he looked up and saw flames shooting straight into the sky across the mountain.
Amidst the interplay of wind and rain, the entire mountain is scorching!
Above the flames, atop the mountain peaks, the black and red mist was firmly suppressed by leaden clouds, and the thick swirling clouds suddenly formed a tornado.
It's like a millstone, seemingly about to crush the entire mountain.
Thunder rumbled and roared, thickening the earth's flames. The combination of the two made the thunder and fire even more intense, with howling winds and torrential rain pouring down, all of which were poured into the thunder and fire.
The scene, which had been in complete chaos, appeared somewhat calm here. However, anyone could see that this was merely the calm before the storm.
...
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have gotten involved. That would be a bit spineless," Fang Hongxuan gritted his teeth, but could no longer continue.
A few moments later, the belly of the dog that had been digging up the corpse was wrapped up. Therefore, one could only find joy amidst the suffering and console oneself.
"Holy crap! A Saiyan!"
The sudden change almost made Fang Hongxuan think he had returned to Earth. He perked up and turned his head with all his might, only to see a pair of gleaming, fiery eyes in the torrential rain!
"It's him!"
"Smash him in the throat!"
Li Shouxin was panting heavily, completely oblivious to the rain soaking his mouth and nose. The talisman on his foot flickered intermittently until it finally went out.
"You've reached your limit, don't make a mistake!"
Fang Hongxuan, who had thought he had no chance of survival, suddenly rallied and mobilized all the energy in his body.
The rice-grain-sized Yin Dan vanished instantly, and the little blood energy remaining in his body was completely depleted. All his energy converged in his right hand.
Even the yellow talisman that the old Taoist priest obtained from the City God Temple was clutched in Fang Hongxuan's hand; this was his final strike.
If we fail, we will surely be doomed.
Boom!
A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a water bucket, pierced the night sky, shattered the millstone-like tornado, extinguished the scorching flames, and dispersed the torrential rain.
The entire mountain was thus split in two!
The ferocious carcass-digging dog, like a stray dog with its spine broken, let out a terrified whimper.
Fang Hongxuan's palms were completely enveloped in resentful energy, and his claws were like flying swords that could cut through gold and jade with overwhelming force!
'Kaba'
The dog's rock-hard head was instantly crushed, and its headless body, covered in red and white substances, collapsed limply to the ground, quickly drying out.
The corpse-digging dog, which already had very little essence and blood, was sucked dry by Fang Hongxuan and turned into a dried corpse!
The rain stopped, and the fields were quiet.
Everything returned to the tranquility of the night.
After a brief pause, Fang Hongxuan finally turned around. He made no other move, but instead grabbed Li Shouxin directly.
"Are you a time traveler?"
Li Shouxin, whose fiery eyes had faded, stared blankly at Fang Hongxuan's body, which was shrouded in malevolent energy and filled with resentment.
"you..."
Fang Hongxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a murderous aura began to rise in his heart.
"Damn, Brother Fang! You're so cool! I've finally found my people!" Li Shouxin exclaimed with delight, gesturing excitedly.
Fang Hongxuan felt somewhat relieved when he saw that Li Shouxin did not seem to be faking it.
"Why did you think of coming back?"
Although he remained wary, Fang Hongxuan subconsciously lowered his guard. After all, having wandered alone in another world for five years, it was inevitable that he would feel a sense of closeness upon encountering someone from his hometown.
"Hey, for those who cultivate the Tao, the greatest taboo is incurring karmic debts. If I were to stand idly by, it would surely become a demon in my heart, which is why I came back to take a look."
Li Shouxin made no mention of Fang Hongxuan turning into a zombie, after all, he himself had keen insight and had guessed part of the truth.
Fang Hongxuan did not see Li Shouxin's master and senior brother, and vaguely guessed why the once imposing corpse-digging dog had become so pathetic.
"Let's go down the mountain first to take care of the remaining trivial matters, and then we'll part ways."
Although it was a suggestion, Fang Hongxuan's tone carried an air of unquestionable authority. After all, for him, it was necessary to continue observing.
Li Shouxin naturally agreed, and then prepared to take Fang Hongxuan to meet up with his master and senior brother. Fang Hongxuan did not object, but simply followed behind him in silence.
However, out of Li Shouxin's sight, Fang Hongxuan's still-red eyes lingered on him.
Although he couldn't see it, Li Shouxin could clearly feel being watched, and goosebumps covered his entire body.
"That was close, thankfully I reacted quickly." The cold sweat that inadvertently trickled down Li Shouxin's temples completely betrayed his calm demeanor.
...
At the foot of the mountain
The old Taoist priest hastily wiped the mud off his face and then climbed out of the mud pit. He pointed at Li Shoujing while cursing.
"You rebellious disciple! Do you want to become the abbot?"
Li Shoujing chuckled sheepishly and scratched his head, revealing an embarrassed smile.
In fact, if Li Shoujing hadn't suddenly had the idea to try holding up the memorial tablet and then using his internal energy to activate the palm thunder, it would have been a different story.
The Purple Heaven Divine Lightning that splits the mountain in two will never appear.
The price was that the memorial tablet of "Qingzhen Shie Taixuan Fulong Zhenren" was completely shattered by the Zixiao Divine Lightning, and even the sturdy Li Shoujing was charred inside and out.
The old Taoist priest beside him was naturally not spared either.
The difference is that the old Taoist's feet are connected to a puddle.
After venting his frustrations, the old Taoist priest became sad again. He tried to pick up the remains of the memorial tablet, but found that they melted as soon as he touched them, like trying to fill a basket with water.
"Master, Master..."
Li Shouxin jogged along the mountain path to the two men, with the unassuming Fang Hongxuan following behind.
"It's good that you're alright..."
Fang Hongxuan first noticed the marks left by lightning at the feet of the three people, and then looked at the charred and raw appearance of the master and his apprentice.
After a brief silence, Fang Hongxuan solemnly bowed to the old Taoist priest.
"I will never forget your life-saving grace, Daoist Master. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
The old Taoist coughed twice, once again adopting the airs of a master.
"Don't take it to heart; it's just repaying a previous favor."
Seeing this, Li Shouxin finally relaxed completely.
Although he had never fought against zombies before, Fang Hongxuan's mere gaze was enough to put him under immense pressure.
"Heh... Luckily, I didn't encounter a cold-hearted person..."
