Chapter 106: Longyou County, Qingniu Temple
When suddenly attacked, Li Daoxuan's pupils constricted and he reacted quickly.
He used his magical power of shrinking the earth, and his figure suddenly disappeared, appearing ten feet away like lightning, and finally avoided the sword narrowly.
But even so, the sharp sword energy cut a corner of his clothes.
"roar!"
The zombie let out a scream, and then fell completely silent.
When Li Daoxuan saw it, he was immediately furious. He saw a magic sword with green light flowing on it nailed to the zombie's head.
He fought so hard for so long, but in the end he was snatched away by someone else?
Although this is just an ordinary zombie, the reward won’t be much even if you kill it, but a fly is still meat no matter how small it is.
This kind of behavior of stealing people's heads must not be tolerated!
A figure floated down, wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, looked to be about forty or fifty years old, with a long black beard and sharp eyes.
He stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at the completely dead zombie, and took out a talisman from his arms.
The talisman automatically ignited and fell on the zombie, quickly starting a raging fire that even heavy rain could not extinguish.
The middle-aged man in mourning clothes brightened up when he saw the Taoist priest.
"Master Wu, you are here!"
Taoist Priest Wu nodded slightly and said, "I heard the sound of dragon roaring and saw the signs of clouds and rain in the temple. I knew that something might be wrong with you, so I rushed here immediately."
The middle-aged man looked a little ashamed and said, "You said in advance that the coffin must not fall to the ground midway, but I still made a mistake. Thanks to these two Taoist priests, if they hadn't helped me, I'm afraid I would have..."
Taoist Wu glanced at Li Daoxuan and Zhang Qianyang and nodded slightly, without any intention of saying hello.
He saw that the two men looked dusty and poorly dressed, and they should be wandering Taoists.
As an orthodox Taoist descendant of Heavenly Master Xu Jingyang, he naturally looked down on these casual practitioners and had no intention of making friends with them.
Taoist Wu stretched out his hand, ready to recall the flying sword.
However, a black gourd flew up, kept getting bigger in the air, and finally came down with a bang, directly suppressing the green flying sword.
clang!
The flying sword kept struggling under the gourd, making bursts of sword sounds, but it was all to no avail, just like a monkey under the Five Finger Mountain.
Taoist Wu's face changed. His Qingxia Sword was a mid-grade magic weapon. What was the origin of this gourd that could suppress the Qingxia Sword?
A figure stood in front of him. He had a handsome face, bright eyes, a Taoist bun, and carried a green oil-paper umbrella on his back.
It was Li Daoxuan.
He smiled slightly, showing his white teeth.
"Haha, Taoist Wu, huh? Let's talk about your compensation."
Taoist Priest Wu frowned and said, "You little Taoist, I just saved you, how dare you speak rudely to me?"
"Saved me?"
Li Daoxuan sneered, pointed at the zombie that had been burned to ashes, and said, "I was almost killing him, but you snatched his head with one sword!"
After a pause, Li Daoxuan's eyes became sharper.
"You almost hurt me with that sword strike just now. Should we settle this account?"
Taoist Priest Wu snorted. He had already activated his Dharma Eyes and saw through the true nature of this young Taoist priest. He was only in the middle stage of the Qigong fasting period and had some skills, but he was not to be feared.
As for the old Taoist priest who was still drinking, he was a completely ordinary person with no trace of cultivation at all.
The only thing the other party relied on was that gourd.
"Little Taoist priest, I was so eager to save people just now that I didn't see you when I used my flying sword. This was my negligence."
After all, Taoist Wu was a direct descendant of the Wanshou Palace, and he had no intention of killing or robbing. However, his attitude was still arrogant. He said it was his own negligence, but there was not much apology in his voice.
"Little Taoist priest, I have already apologized to you. If you continue to make trouble, don't blame me for being rude!"
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Since it's an apology, you have to make amends. How about this, I don't think you are a rich man, so just use this sword to pay off the debt."
Taoist Wu's face changed drastically. The Wanshou Palace lineage mainly practices swordsmanship. The Qingxia Sword is a spiritual sword that he has nurtured for many years. It can be said to be the foundation of his Taoism. How could he give it to others?
For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.
Li Daoxuan looked at him without fear. Although the other party was in the Yin Shen realm , he had killed many monsters in the Yin Shen realm.
One more Taoist priest is enough.
Li Daoxuan was even ready to open the stopper of the Three Realms Gourd, first shoot out the Sun God Needle, then spray out the Yellow Spring to freeze it, and finally use his clone to burrow underground to pull it into the ground.
His concept of fighting is very simple, either don't fight, or kill!
But just as he was about to strike first, Zhang Qianyang coughed, walked over, patted his apprentice on the shoulder, and whispered a message.
"His ancestor Xu Qingxuan and I have some friendship, so there is no need to do anything extreme."
After that, Zhang Qianyang looked at Taoist Wu and said with a smile: "Didn't your master tell you that you shouldn't easily interfere when others are subduing demons?"
This is an unwritten rule. Demons are also a kind of resource. The most typical one is demon pills, which can be refined into elixirs to increase cultivation. If anyone can interfere, then who will get the demon pill in the end?
"Of course, I know you are eager to save people, but you almost hurt my apprentice just now. It's not too much to ask for some compensation."
Taoist Priest Wu hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I will never give you the Qingxia Sword!"
Zhang Qianyang stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a broken sword. Only the Taoist priests of your Wanshou Palace would value it so much. I don't want it. How about this, do you have silver? Give me a few hundred thousand taels to spend first."
Taoist Wu’s face turned dark. Hundreds of thousands of taels?
Even if the entire Wanshou Palace was sold, there might not be hundreds of thousands of taels...
This old man has such a dark heart!
Even Li Daoxuan felt a little embarrassed. Hundreds of thousands of taels, the master was really bold and ruthless!
Taoist Priest Wu pondered for a moment, and finally took out a piece of paper from his bosom, threw it over, and said: "I don't have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, I only have this."
Li Daoxuan took a glance and showed a hint of surprise.
This is a land deed, the land deed of Qingniu Temple in the western suburbs of Longyou County.
"I see that you are wandering Taoists and you may need a place to stay. Although the Qingniu Temple is not big, it is big enough for the two of you to stay."
Taoist Wu looked at the two of them, a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.
Zhang Qianyang laughed, stuffed the deed into his arms, and said to his disciple, "Longyou County... what a good name. Disciple, I am also tired, why don't you take a rest in Longyou County?"
"Yes, Master!"
Li Daoxuan raised his finger, and the Three Realms Gourd automatically shrank and hung around his waist.
Taoist Wu quickly retracted his flying sword, took a last deep look at Master Li Daoxuan and his disciple, then turned and left.
The dragon roar just now has disappeared and the rain has stopped.
Master Li Daoxuan and his disciples and the middle-aged man inquired about the location of Longyou County and then headed towards it.
"Master, I think the Taoist priest's expression is not right. There may be something strange about the Qingniu Temple!"
Zhang Qianyang laughed and said, "Weird? Don't you like weird things the most?"
Li Daoxuan smiled, feeling a little regretful that he didn't kill the zombie just now.
"By the way, Master, why did a dragon roar suddenly appear and it started raining?"
If it weren't for the sudden rain, the zombie would have been burned to death by him.
Zhang Qianyang smiled slightly and said, "Disciple, do you know why Longyou County is named Longyou?"
