Chapter 219 Demons at work
As the spiritual energy continues to weaken, the cultivation world of Huaxia Daozhou and Zixiao Continent has become chaotic.
Sects are frantically competing for resources, monks are killing each other, and all kinds of conflicts are about to break out.
Naturally, the common people were not immune to the disaster, or they became the victims in the fight between the powerful.
Or it has become the "ration" for countless demon cultivators, demon cultivators, and evil cultivators.
The alliance of the righteous sects that originally maintained order is also shaky. They are at odds with each other and seem to be incompatible with each other, let alone risking their lives to protect the safety of one party in the world.
Although there are still a large number of people who stick to the bottom line, defend the right path, fight against those demonic cultivators and evil cultivators who wantonly kill, and protect the lives of ordinary people.
But more people no longer have the heart to care about so much. Not participating in killing and practicing the devil's way is their final bottom line.
There is no way to use up one's own strength to make selfless contributions to the so-called right path and the common people.
However, there are also many cultivators who do not have firm beliefs and have begun to turn to demons or evil ways and practice "cannibalism".
Use the qi and blood of warriors, the true qi of cultivators, or the essence, blood, vitality, or even souls of ordinary people as energy sources to quickly improve your cultivation.
You know, many evil practices, although inhumane, may require you to step on countless corpses.
However, these methods are indeed far superior to the cultivation methods of the righteous sect in terms of strength and cultivation speed.
It doesn't matter even if you have poor qualifications, you can still practice.
In the past, everyone was reluctant to touch the demonic practice system. On the one hand, it was too cruel, and on the other hand, it was also because these evil and crooked methods were too eager for quick success and would lead to obsession.
Although the cultivation level improves quickly, the upper limit is low. Even if you can quickly reach the Nascent Soul Realm or the Divine Transformation Realm in a short period of time, you may never reach the Dao Dao Realm, let alone become an immortal.
And even if you are lucky enough to reach the Mahayana realm, the Heavenly Tribulation will be ridiculously strong and you will not be able to survive the Heavenly Tribulation.
Therefore, many people still choose the normal path of cultivation.
But everything is based on the premise that you can ascend.
Now that the spiritual energy is exhausted and the catastrophe is approaching, who can care about such long-term matters.
The most important thing now is how to improve your strength as quickly as possible.
Strength is king. If you cannot quickly improve your strength and accumulate enough power, you may have fallen in this competition for resources before the catastrophe comes.
What's more, they can't compete with those powerful people in their normal competition for resources.
Talent is no match for those top geniuses.
But he was unwilling to accept his fate and wait for death.
We can only give up the so-called human ethics and bottom line, and try our best to gain enough capital for ourselves to deal with the catastrophe.
Otherwise, when the catastrophe really comes, no one can control anyone and can only save themselves.
This is just like an era of turmoil will become a hotbed of crime, and an era of constant natural disasters will have a lot of bandits.
Most human nature is not that noble. Desire and sin are like fuel hidden in the body. A little spark is enough to ignite it.
In the face of survival instinct, many things are worth mentioning.
Therefore, as those originally righteous sects modified themselves and switched to the demonic sect, they practiced evil and heretical techniques and killed people everywhere.
It also further increased the burden on the righteous sects. They simply did not have enough manpower and energy to quell the chaos and fight against the devil.
In particular, the weakening of spiritual energy has become more and more obvious. Even the spiritual energy concentration of several caves and paradises in Zixiao Continent is only less than 20% of its original value.
Other places are even worse.
The sense of crisis increased sharply, which also led to further destruction of order, and the fighting and fighting became more and more fierce.
However, because of the natural barriers of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the Netherworld Jedi, Xuanyou State was temporarily protected from this attack. Moreover,
the spiritual energy here was already thin, so the weakness this time was not so obvious.
Even though major sects have felt something is wrong recently, they did not think that the Age of Ending Dharma was coming or that another catastrophe was about to occur.
It's like a person who has been living by the sea suddenly sees the sea drying up.
For people who have always lived in the mountains, seeing a small river dry up at the entrance of the village must have a different impact and inner reaction.
The former will definitely feel that the world is about to end.
At most, the latter will feel that they may have to experience another drought, and maybe they can get through it by tightening their belts.
So Xuanyou State is like this at this time.
Everyone noticed the abnormality, but the reaction was not that big.
But some demons and ghosts that were originally hidden in the Shiwan Mountains and the Netherworld began to become restless.
In fact, the appearance of Demonic Cloud Vine was a sign.
These demons and ghosts began to wreak havoc on Shiwan Mountain, and some even broke into human cities and started causing chaos.
Incidents of demons causing trouble in various places also continued to increase, and major sects had to send monks to subjugate and eliminate demons.
Nanling Kingdom is a country in the south of the Daqian Dynasty, bordering the Shiwanda Mountains.
Recently, hundreds of thousands of monsters in the mountains have been causing trouble, and this place is naturally the first to be affected.
Many villages and even county towns were attacked by big monsters.
There are also many places where ghosts are rampant, and many monsters eat people and female ghosts suck the essence of men.
Some righteous sects in Nanling Kingdom also sent disciples to hunt down and eliminate demons.
In an abandoned mountain temple outside Feng County, a man who looked like a scholar walked in.
It was almost dusk at this time, and the mountain temple seemed quite dark, even a little eerie.
The broken statue was covered with moss, the head of the statue that fell to the ground looked strange, and the beams covered with cobwebs made an inexplicable creaking sound.
I don't know if it was caused by the wind or if something was moving on it.
The man looked around, but didn't take it seriously. He sat directly on the ground, then took out the dry food from his waist and started eating.
His name is Wang Chen, and he is Du Shaoling's most proud student.
They were also the first batch of students to join Confucianism and Taoism in Qingzhou City. Now they have become the mainstay of Confucianism and Taoism, and were even ordered to come to Nanling Kingdom to spread Confucianism and Taoism.
Recently I just happened to be heading from Daning City to the capital of Nanling Kingdom.
After passing through Feng County, I heard that women have been causing trouble here recently. Many men have disappeared in the city in the middle of the night. Finally, their bodies were found in this ruined temple.
But he had already been drained of his essence and died.
Therefore, people in the city are in panic during this period. Many people dare not go out at night and are afraid of women when they see them.
After Wang Chen heard about this incident, he decided to come over and meet the female ghost for a while.
Along the way, he often hoeed the strong, supported the weak, and subdued demons.
Today, his Confucianism and Taoism cultivation and strength are comparable to those of his teacher Du Shaoling.
You can use magical powers such as writing brilliantly, talking on paper, and penetrating into wood.
Even if he encounters a strong person in the Nascent Soul Realm, he is not afraid at all.
It is especially easy to deal with some evil ghosts.
A "Song of Righteousness" can easily suppress and kill all evil spirits.
So he is not afraid of female ghosts, banshees or the like at all.
If someone dares to appear, he will physically transcend them.
The sun gradually went down, the light in the woods became darker and darker, and the temple became more and more gloomy.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and two men in Taoist robes walked in.
"It's really spooky here!" one of them said.
But before he finished speaking, he noticed the figure sitting inside.
I couldn't help but be startled, thinking I had encountered a ghost.
But after careful observation, I determined that it was not a ghost, but a scholar.
Wang Chen was reading a book. When he saw the two people walking in, he stood up, smiled and bowed to the two people, showing politeness and friendliness.
He also knew that the other party might also be here to catch ghosts.
"Why are you here alone?" asked a Taoist priest. "Yeah, get out of here quickly. Haven't you heard that this place has been haunted recently? This female ghost likes to suck the essence of men. Many men like you have died in this ruined temple!" Maybe it was because of being chased by Wang Chen Startled, the Taoist priest also deliberately frightened Wang Chen.
"Are you two here to catch ghosts?" Wang Chen smiled elegantly, and his indifferent expression surprised the two Taoist priests.
"Well, of course, so you'd better leave quickly. It will be completely dark after a while, and it will be too late for you to leave! We have no time to protect your safety!" "Me too!" Wang Chen said with a smile, and then stopped
. He didn't say much, but continued to read the book.
Hearing Wang Chen's words, the two Taoist priests were obviously stunned and looked at each other, thinking that they had heard wrongly.
"Are you here to catch ghosts too?"
"Yes!" Wang Chen nodded.
The two Taoist priests were even more surprised. They looked at Wang Chen carefully and found that he did not look like a cultivator and had no energy at all.
He has no blood, nor is he a warrior. He is just an ordinary person no matter how he looks at it.
He seems to be a guy who overestimates his abilities.
The two Taoist priests exchanged glances, with a playful smile on their lips, thinking that the other party must have been stupid in reading.
"Don't blame me for not warning you. Not everyone can catch this ghost. If there is any danger then, don't blame me for not telling you in advance!" Wang Chen didn't speak anymore, but focused on the book
.
Seeing this scene, the Taoist priest wanted to say something, but his companion stopped him.
Then he whispered: "He's here just right. Let's hide him. When the time comes, we can use him as bait to lure out the female ghost and kill him." "
Yeah, that's fine!" The two reached a consensus and ignored Wang Chen. .
They walked around the temple and saw that the sky had turned completely dark, making the entire ruined temple even more gloomy.
The two Taoist priests quickly hid.
Wang Chen actually took out a candle from his bag, lit it, and continued reading by candlelight.
It was late at night, and there was a dead silence around the entire mountain temple. It seemed that there were no insects or birds, and the silence was a bit scary.
At some point, a gust of cold wind blew into the mountain temple, and with a whimper, the candle was blown out.
Then I heard a burst of eerie laughter echoing in the night. The sound seemed to have no source.
"Kick, cluck, I finally caught a big fish!" A sharp voice sounded like nails scratching iron.
The Taoist priests who were hiding in the dark immediately felt the cold wind whistling on their backs, as if a ghost claw was grabbing at them.
The expressions of the two people changed drastically, and they immediately turned around and saw a group of black mist coming.
Two pale, bloodless ghost claws with long and sharp nails protruded from it.
"No!" The two Taoist priests immediately blocked with their magic swords. At the same time, they circulated their true energy, took out their talismans, and turned into golden fireballs to attack the black mist.
But the ghost claw easily fired two fireballs.
Boom—Boom—
The fireball exploded, but it did not cause any damage to the black mist.
As the black mist surged, a female ghost in a red dress emerged with a mocking smile on her lips.
"Keke, one at the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm and one at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Not bad, enough for me to have a full meal!"
In fact, this female ghost is not an ordinary female ghost, but a ghost cultivator at the Golden Core Realm.
Here you play the role of a kid who sucks men's semen. The real purpose is to fish.
Cultivators who attract ghosts.
In other words, cultivators are her real target.
After all, the essence, blood and true energy of a monk at the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm is far more useful in nourishing him than the energy of thousands of ordinary men.
Not to mention the true energy and essence of the Foundation Establishment monks, they cannot be compared to many ordinary people.
If she could "drain" these two monks tonight, her strength would increase a lot.
When the time comes, he will change places and repeat his old tricks. He will continue to pretend to be an ordinary kid and cause trouble, attracting the ghost-catching monks.
Feeling the powerful aura exuded by the female ghost, the expressions of the two Taoist priests turned ugly.
"Oops, we've been fooled. This is no ordinary kid!"
"Run away!" The two Taoist priests wanted to escape without saying a word.
After all, they know that they are no match at all, and they will only die if they don't escape.
However, when they turned around, they discovered that two huge ghost claws appeared behind them, and the female ghost appeared behind them at some point.
No, they thought they turned around and ran away, but instead they turned around and came back to the starting point.
The two were shocked and wanted to resist, but found that their bodies had been caught by the ghost claws.
The long and narrow nails turned into ropes and entangled their bodies.
No matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't break free, and their bodies were slowly swallowed by the black mist.
The female ghost's pale cheek appeared behind their ears, smiling sinisterly.
The two Taoist priests were so frightened that their faces were ashen and they screamed in horror.
At this moment, a voice came slowly...
There was righteousness in the heaven and earth, and they were mixed and endowed with manifolds.
Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars.
To others, it is said that it is vast and overwhelming.
The imperial road should be Qingyi, Hanhe Tumingting.
When the time comes, we can see each other and draw pictures one by one.
In Qi Taishi bamboo slips, in Jin Dynasty Dong Hu's pen.
As the sound of reciting each sentence rang out, wisps of golden light shot out from the ruined temple, instantly illuminating the night sky and dispelling the darkness.
The golden light fell on the female ghost, and she immediately let out a scoffing sound.
The female ghost's face changed drastically, and she looked at the ruined temple in horror, not knowing what was happening.
She knew there was a scholar inside, but she didn't take him seriously at first.
Unexpectedly, the other party was also a master.
Moreover, this golden light is very powerful and cannot be matched by her at all.
The female ghost was frightened and was about to flee with the two Taoist priests.
However, I found that the sound of chanting and chanting was echoing throughout the world.
The surroundings were completely shrouded in golden light, and a tall and majestic figure emerged from the golden light, surrounding it.
Some of them hold books in their hands, or stand with guns in their hands, some are elegant, some are heroic, some have deep eyes, or some have sharp eyes.
But every figure has an extraordinary bearing, surrounded by righteousness, and the posture is tall and majestic, like green pines and cypresses, like towering mountains, upright and awe-inspiring.
Behind them are the sun, moon and stars, and under their feet are mountains and rivers.
The aura they exuded made the female ghost extremely frightened, but she had no way to escape.
The next second, a golden sword condensed in front of these figures, and then it shot towards her.
"No -"
the female ghost howled miserably and tried her best to resist, but found that she couldn't resist at all.
The body was instantly torn apart by those long swords, and was reduced to ashes amid screams.
