Chapter 1 Peng Zu Gu Xian Wo Yin Gong
In the early years of Zhenguan, Xiaosha Village, Xinyang County, Hongzhou of the Tang Dynasty.
evening.
"Three wizards, please get into the coffin."
Wang, the richest man in Xiaosha Village, said this with a bow, a big smile on his face, like a clever weasel.
Behind him, in addition to the servants, there were three people whose appearance and dress were out of place among the people around them, namely an old monk, an old witch and a young Taoist priest.
The young Taoist priest was named Li Daoxuan. Although his Taoist robe was a little worn, it could not hide his handsome appearance and upright posture. His long hair was combed into a Taoist bun and tied with a wooden hairpin. His eyes were bright and clear, and he looked quite elegant and refined.
He came from the future, and traveled through time through an ancient book called "The Heavenly Book of Exorcising Demons". He became a little Taoist priest with the same name and surname as himself, making a living by catching ghosts and eliminating demons.
Yes, although this world is set during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, there are many creepy monsters. Li Daoxuan quickly accepted this. After all, the "Book of Exorcising Demons" in his mind is the most incredible existence .
At this time , Li Daoxuan looked at the three gloomy coffins, frowned slightly, and retreated behind the crowd without making a choice.
In fact, he also knew that because of his age, people here didn't think much of him.
Compared with him, the old monk with long beard and white eyebrows and the old witch with mysterious patterns on her face look much more believable and professional at first glance.
The old monk glanced at Li Daoxuan, chuckled, and said, "Little kid, you have only practiced Taoism for a few years, and you dare to catch the list to subdue the demon?"
As he spoke, he held his head high and lay down calmly in the black coffin on the far left, and stretched himself.
But he didn’t know if it was an illusion, but the moment the servants closed the coffin, Li Daoxuan seemed to see a hint of nervousness in his eyes?
The old witch looked around and did not enter the coffin first. Instead, she carefully took out an urn and placed it in the southeast corner of the yard. She muttered a few incomprehensible spells, and then a magical scene appeared.
The urn suddenly trembled violently, and then slowly calmed down, as if responding to the old witch's words.
The evening breeze brought a chill that rushed straight from the tailbone to the scalp.
Seeing this scene, the rich man Wang and his servants all took a few steps back, some of them afraid to look at the old witch.
The old witch sneered, said nothing, walked calmly into the middle coffin, closed her eyes and lay down.
At the urging of the wealthy Mr. Wang, the servants carefully came forward and closed the coffin lid.
Then everyone's eyes turned to Li Daoxuan.
Li Daoxuan had retreated to the door without knowing when. Facing the gazes of the crowd, he smiled calmly, silently restored the memorized escape route in his mind, then walked towards the last coffin and lay down inside.
The coffin was not big, and the space was just right for Li Daoxuan to lie down in it, as if it was tailor-made for him. However, there was a musty smell and a faint hint of blood.
As the coffin was slowly closed, the light gradually disappeared, until it was completely dark.
After a few muffled sounds, the footsteps outside quickly faded away, and everything around seemed to have fallen into dead silence, leaving only the sound of Li Daoxuan's own breathing.
He mobilized his meager magical power and concentrated it into his eyes.
The next moment, the surroundings that were originally pitch dark became clear. When Li Daoxuan's eyes swept over the top of his head, they suddenly stopped.
His eyes fixed, because on the coffin lid above his head, there were many dried bloodstains, which were scratched by someone's fingers.
Li Daoxuan pushed the coffin lid, but it didn't move at all, like a rock.
At midnight when the moon was high in the sky, three coffins were quietly placed in this dark courtyard, and on the coffin boards, each was pressed down by a large square stone.
…
Rich man Wang returned to his bedroom, sent everyone away, then opened the secret compartment in the wall, revealing a statue of a deity being worshipped.
The statue had a green face, fangs, and wings on its back, and looked ferocious.
The rich man Wang took out three blood-red incense sticks, lit them and inserted them into the incense burner. He then knelt and said, "The offering is ready. Please enjoy it, God!"
"I hope the God will continue to bless my Wang family, so that they will be rich and prosperous!"
…
Although he was sure that he was trapped in the coffin, Li Daoxuan was not particularly nervous. He closed his eyes, and an ancient book shone brightly in his mind, with four ancient seal characters on the cover.
The devil-killing book!
This is his golden finger, and it is also this book that allows him to travel from the 21st century to the Tang Dynasty world where demons and monsters are rampant, and also gain some skills to exorcise demons.
As long as you kill demons and monsters, you will get corresponding rewards. Nearly half a year has passed since you traveled through time, and now Li Daoxuan has some means.
He made the Taoist seal with his hands, bent his knees, straightened his waist, sank his heart into the deep valley, kept quiet and chanted, all the muscles in his body were completely relaxed, and he felt as soft as a ball of cotton.
Li Daoxuan's breathing became lighter and slower, as long as a hibernating snake, and even his heart beat slower and slower.
" Take Kan to fill Li, steal the sky and cheat fate, use the fire of the Li Palace in the south to refine the gold in the water in the north..."
Li Daoxuan silently recited the formula in his mind. This martial art was called "Peng Zu Gu Xian Wo Yin Gong". It was given to him when he opened the Heavenly Book of Subduing Demons after traveling through time. It was said to have been created by Peng Zu, who lived for 800 years.
It was this technique that enabled him to develop magical powers and the ability to make a living.
Gradually, two streams of air emerged in Li Daoxuan's body. One passed through the heart and turned into warm heart fire, corresponding to the fire of the southern Li Palace in the formula; the other passed through the kidneys and turned into warm and cool kidney water essence, corresponding to the gold in the water in the north.
The two auras converge at the mouth of Dantian, and the yin and yang complement each other, transforming into a wisp of pure magic power.
After the intercourse between Qian and Kun, a drop of light falls into the Huangting.
The newly cultivated magic power together with Li Daoxuan's previous magic power merged into a thin stream and crashed into the lower dantian.
However, the entrance to the lower dantian was blocked, like a stone door, lying across the way, and remained motionless despite the impact of Li Daoxuan's magic power.
When he opened his eyes, Li Daoxuan showed a trace of pain in his eyes. He didn't know what was wrong recently, but he felt a dull pain in his lower abdomen whenever he practiced.
Although the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Book had instilled in him all the experience of practicing this technique, Li Daoxuan was a layman in Taoism. Perhaps he had violated some taboos in practice without realizing it?
It seems that I need to find a professional Taoist priest to ask for advice when I have time.
I don’t know how long it was, but suddenly, in the silence, there was a faint sound of whistling wind, as mournful as a ghost crying, which made people’s hair stand on end.
At the same time, the old monk's terrified cry was heard.
“Let me out now!”
"I'm a liar. I can't exorcise demons at all!"
"I just want to cheat some money..."
"Go away! Go away! What kind of monster are you!"
With a shrill scream, the old monk's voice stopped abruptly.
Li Daoxuan's eyes flashed, and he quickly took out a talisman, pinched the seal with his hands, and recited silently in his heart.
"Six female musicians, protect my body. Six male musicians, protect my soul. Hurry up and obey the command!"
The next moment, the talisman in Li Daoxuan's hand turned into a golden light and penetrated into his body, making his violently beating heart finally feel a little safe.
This is the amulet of Liu Ding and Liu Jia. After use, it will be automatically triggered when attacked by evil spirits. With Li Daoxuan's current attainments in this talisman, it can only last for a moment.
But Li Daoxuan was still not at ease. He continued to take out the Six Ding and Six Jia amulets he had prepared in advance and used ten of them in a row before stopping.
After all, you can only produce output if you are alive!
At this time, he vaguely heard that the old witch's coffin was also opened, and there was a sound of fighting outside, as if a ghost baby was crying.
Li Daoxuan held a talisman in his hand. It was no longer a talisman, but an extremely powerful Five Thunder Talisman. The talisman pattern was extremely complex and difficult to draw. He didn't have many of them.
He did not attack immediately. The old witch seemed to have some skills, so he might as well let her consume the monster's strength first.
But after only a few breaths, the old witch let out a scream and there was no more movement, and the ghost baby's crying also disappeared.
Li Daoxuan's face turned black.
He is a little confused now, are his teammates too weak, or are the monsters too powerful?
However, before he could think about it, Li Daoxuan's heart began to beat rapidly, because he clearly heard the sound of footsteps stopping in front of his coffin.
The coffin lid is being pushed open little by little...
