Chapter 109: Sharpening the Knife at Midnight
Midnight.
Li Daoxuan was reading an ancient book in the candlelight.
In the light of the fire, a few large characters appeared on the cover - Taiyi Tiangang Sword Technique!
This sword technique can be practiced only in the middle stage of fasting. Li Daoxuan's cultivation is just right. Ever since he witnessed his master's realm of ten thousand swords and the old Taoist's sword that cuts off one's longevity, he has been yearning for the way of the sword. Naturally, he is eager to learn and often comprehends it.
The reason why I don’t use my clone to practice together is because I’m afraid of scaring that dirty thing.
If she didn't dare to come, Li Daoxuan would be disappointed.
Time passed little by little , and just when Li Daoxuan thought that she didn't dare to show up, a sound suddenly came from outside... the sound of sharpening a knife?
The friction between iron and stone is particularly crisp and very eye-catching in the middle of the night.
Li Daoxuan's ears moved and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Could he finally not hold it in any longer?
…
The farmyard opposite Qingniu Temple.
The blind old man was sitting in the yard, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, rubbing it repeatedly on the whetstone, sprinkling a little water on it from time to time, and then continuing to sharpen it.
The crisp sound of sharpening knives echoed in the night for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, the old man finally stopped sharpening the knife and ran his fingers across the blade.
Bright red blood spurted out instantly, staining the kitchen knife red, but the old man seemed to be completely unaware of the pain and had no reaction .
Finally, he looked at the kitchen knife, and his originally empty eyes seemed to come alive with a creepy smile.
Turning around, he entered the kitchen.
The sound of chopping meat began to be heard...
Li Daoxuan sat in the room and waited for a long time, but the dirty thing didn't come out. There was only the sound of sharpening knives around.
Soon, even the sound of sharpening the knife disappeared.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was a sudden knock on the door of Qingniu Temple.
Li Daoxuan opened the door and was a little surprised. Standing outside was the blind old man who lived opposite. He held a bowl of wontons and said with a smile: "Young man, you must be hungry. I made something for you."
Li Daoxuan saw that he was hunched over and standing on tiptoe in a very strange posture.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the old man seemed to have become thinner, with his clothes fluttering in the night wind.
The bowl of wontons was floating with butter, and had a very rich meaty, sweet aroma.
Li Daoxuan took a step back calmly and said with a smile, "Please come in."
The blind old man held the wontons in his hand, stepped over the threshold with ease, and entered the Qingniu Temple.
Bang!
Li Daoxuan closed the door and locked it, then smiled at the blind old man, revealing his white teeth.
The blind old man's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he handed over the wontons and urged, "Eat quickly, this is the best meat!"
Li Daoxuan took the wontons, looked at the oil residue inside, smelled the aroma of meat, and couldn't help feeling nauseous.
"Young man, why don't you eat?"
The blind old man stepped forward and continued to urge.
Li Daoxuan saw bloodstains where he had walked, and his trouser legs were soaked.
Li Daoxuan didn't want to play with him anymore. He sneered, threw the wonton in his hand, and broke it on the ground.
"Young man, what do you mean?"
The old man stared at Li Daoxuan with his empty eyes, and his voice suddenly became very low.
"Haha, what a good trick. You are still a human at dusk, but become a ghost after midnight. Old man, you hide very well."
Li Daoxuan smiled brilliantly.
"But what a coincidence. I am Taichong, the ninth generation disciple of Mount Longhu. What I like most is catching ghosts!"
There was a flash of resentment in the old man's eyes, and his voice suddenly changed, becoming very sharp, as if he was imitating a woman's voice.
"If you don't eat wontons, I'll make you into wontons!"
His nails grew longer and blacker, and he suddenly pounced towards Li Daoxuan.
However, the next moment, Li Daoxuan's body shone brightly, emitting golden light, as if he was wearing a layer of golden armor.
The old man screamed and was blown away by the golden light.
Li Daoxuan was calm and composed. Before opening the door, he had already put a talisman on himself just in case.
"You monster, you have harmed countless people, today is the day you die!"
Li Daoxuan held the Chixia sword in his hand, full of murderous intent, and was about to step forward to kill the ghost.
The old man let out a shrill scream, and the next moment, a pale red figure floated out of his body. It was a woman with disheveled hair and a distorted face, who pounced towards Li Daoxuan.
Her dress was light pink and had not yet been completely dyed red. It was obvious that it had not yet become a completely red dress, which was probably equivalent to the late stage of fasting.
whoosh!
She rushed directly into Li Daoxuan's body, trying to possess him and take his soul.
The amulet did not light up again, as if it had been used up, but the female ghost looked a little confused.
Bang!
Li Daoxuan turned into a strand of hair and floated to the ground.
It turns out that the Li Daoxuan just now was just a clone, not the real person!
At this time, a figure pushed open the door and walked out. It was Li Daoxuan again. He looked at the confused female ghost and said calmly, "You are allowed to possess me, but I am not allowed to split myself? Tonight, you are dead, and no one can save you."
Li Daoxuan looked at the body of the old man lying on the ground, his eyes becoming increasingly cold.
There are three lamps in the human body, located between the eyebrows and on the left and right shoulders, which protect the soul. When the yang energy is strong, the lamps will be bright and ordinary ghosts cannot get close.
But this female ghost seemed to have a peculiar ability that allowed her to easily break through the three lamps and possess a human body.
The meat in the wontons was probably the old man's own flesh. After being possessed by the female ghost, she wielded a knife to mutilate herself in order to harm others!
The sound of sharpening the knife that the old man heard was not the sound of slaughtering cattle and sheep, but the sound of the person sharpening the knife about to slaughter himself!
Li Daoxuan felt a chill in his heart. Killing people was not enough. The ghost girl's methods were too cruel.
The female ghost's eyes suddenly turned blood red, and then turned into countless phantoms, rushing towards Li Daoxuan.
For a moment, all I saw were ghosts, and I couldn’t tell which was real and which was fake.
Li Daoxuan laughed loudly and said, "How dare you show off your skills in front of an expert?"
Open your third eye!
A divine light burst out from between Li Daoxuan's eyebrows, and a divine eye with flowing glow suddenly opened. In an instant, it saw through the layers of ghost shadows and found the real body.
Li Daoxuan waved the Chixia sword in his hand and took a step forward without fear. He treated the ghosts around him as nothing and cut them off with one sword!
A shrill cry was heard, revealing pain and panic.
A ghost hand fell to the ground and turned into ashes.
The ghostly shadows in the sky suddenly disappeared.
The female ghost looked at Li Daoxuan with resentment and fear, as if she wanted to remember this Taoist priest who hurt her deeply and take revenge on him in the future.
She turned around and flew away, trying to escape from the Qingniu Temple.
But the next moment, more than a dozen Li Daoxuan appeared on the walls around her, some holding swords, some holding talismans, and some with their third eyes between their brows open, all looking at her quietly.
"Now that you have entered Qingniu Temple, don't even think about leaving."
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly and said.
When the female ghost saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel terrified. She knew that she had met a master. She didn't expect that this Taoist priest, who looked young, actually possessed all kinds of incredible methods.
Even those Taoist priests in Wanshou Palace who have some skills are not so powerful. Compared with this little Taoist priest, they seem to be wild Taoist priests ...
