Chapter 204 Good Monster
Tongxuanguan.
Inside the Sutra Repository.
Fang Xian was holding a Taoist scripture and reading it quickly.
"It turns out that this world had immortals thousands of years ago... But later, an ancient sage king cut off the connection between heaven and earth and the 'spiritual energy'. Since then, people in the world have gradually stopped practicing. Not only have monsters disappeared, but even Taoists can only rely on the incense they collect and have some special skills. In fact, their power is average and they have greater limitations. Gradually, they have fallen into the mainstream... They have been reduced to fortune-telling, helping the rich and powerful to check feng shui, and burning fire to make elixirs..."
"In this world, at this moment, am I still the only one who can rule?"
Fang Xian closed the last Taoist scripture and walked out of the gate of the Sutra Library.
Outside the door, a dozen old Taoist priests were waiting trembling with fear, some of them had burning eyes because they saw the hope of immortality!
"Being a monster does have its advantages...at least those young Taoist priests were scared away...and they didn't dare to come forward to embarrass me."
The sudden appearance of a monster that had not been seen for thousands of years was naturally extremely shocking.
Fang Xian estimated that it wouldn't be long before runners, constables, and even soldiers from the government arrived.
"I have finished reading the Taoist scriptures, and I am leaving now..."
He glanced at Tong Hezi. The old Taoist had just spat out a mouthful of blood, which shortened his lifespan by at least several years. His face was pale and his hair was dry, but he was holding on. He couldn't help but ask, "How did you become a demon?"
"Why should I tell you?" Fang Xian asked with a laugh.
“You...we have at least given you the Taoist scriptures to read...you must understand the cause and effect..." An old Taoist said, with a gleam in his eyes, as he stepped out from the crowd.
Fang Xian laughed loudly: "I am a demon, why should I follow your human rules?"
As for cause and effect, he has fought his way out of the immortal world, but he still doesn’t understand this?
This world is different from the world of immortal cultivation. The law of cause and effect is not so strict. After all, there are not many immortal cultivators.
If he nodded in agreement, he would have fallen into the trap.
At this time, he laughed several times, climbed over the wall, and left nimbly.
"This monster... will definitely be a big trouble in the future!"
Tong Hezi looked at the place where Fang Xian disappeared with a serious look.
It is recorded in Taoist scriptures that in ancient times, some female monsters, after awakening their spiritual intelligence, read novels about talented men and beautiful women, and all they wanted was to find a husband of their dreams after becoming a human being and fall in love with him. They did not know how to resist when a Taoist priest came to their door. Those were good monsters.
This ape-monster is different, he does things by any means necessary, it is the law of the jungle and he is unrestrained, which is the righteous way of the ancient monster clan!
"Abbot... Today, the ape demon got our sect's scriptures. If it harms others in the future, the court will have to hold us accountable. What should we do?"
An elder asked.
"If you don't give it to us... it will kill us and rob us. With its style, it is not impossible for it to do it..."
Tong Hezi smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, the most core Taoist scriptures of our sect have been passed down orally without any written records, so they have not been stolen. Otherwise, after we die, we will not be able to face our ancestors... Where is the person who went to the mansion to report the news? Why hasn't he returned yet?"
"Host, what do you mean?"
The old Taoist who had a fiery look in his eyes just now immediately understood something and asked excitedly.
"A monster has appeared in the world. This is a big deal. The government will definitely kill it. We have to help... Maybe we can get the chance to turn the ape into a monster..."
As Tong Hezi spoke, he saw the eyes of the elders light up, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Even if they got that opportunity, how could these elders who were already halfway into the coffin compare to him in terms of benefits?
…
Fang Xian was not actually far away.
He hid not far away, his ears flaring, and heard everything.
However, he really didn't take the secret manuals of Tongxuan Temple seriously. Such secret manuals were at most the same as the techniques in the world of cultivating immortals. They could only be practiced in one world. What did they count for?
What he came to look for were some ancient secrets.
Only then did I feel satisfied and finally go down the mountain.
Halfway through the walk, he touched his forehead, then jumped up a tree and hid himself.
“Quick, quick!”
On the mountain path, a team of yamen runners led the way, and there seemed to be armored soldiers behind them, with two Taoists sandwiched in between.
As they hurried on, the yamen runner said to the Taoist priest: "You have really exposed the truth this time. If there is no monster, the consequences... even if your master is familiar with the prefect, he can't escape..."
"Of course it's true. We have so many brothers and sisters, so many eyes, and we saw it clearly. The monster is a white ape that can speak human language and has great strength. It can tear tigers and leopards apart alive..."
The Taoist priest replied quickly.
"That's good. The prefect has ordered that if you encounter a monster, try to capture it alive. If it dares to resist, just kill it!"
The chief bailiff said coldly.
"Kill... kill it... that would be such a pity. After all, the white ape is a sign of good fortune." A yamen runner, who seemed to be his nephew, muttered.
"Haha, what do you know?"
The chief of the yamen runners glared at the nephew and said, "The white ape that doesn't speak is a good monkey and a sign of good fortune! The one that speaks is a monster and must be killed!"
"This sentence is very interesting..."
Fang Xian on the tree listened and nodded secretly.
Wang Shun only has the knowledge of a mountain dweller, but the captain of the police is a government official and has different opinions.
"Ye Gong loves dragons, but when a real dragon comes out, it will scare people to death..."
'Although the emperor likes auspicious signs, auspicious signs that can be spoken are not auspicious signs... Otherwise, if he admits that the white ape is an auspicious sign, but the white ape says that the world should not belong to the Great Zhou, what should he do? '
'Any signs that cannot be controlled must be eliminated! This is the instinct of the ruler!'
"Also, this world is, after all, dominated by humans... the demon race, hehe..."
"If I were a human who had attained enlightenment, I would be admired by everyone and revered as an immortal. Although I would inevitably face various spies and requests, my situation would definitely be ten or a hundred times better than that of the white ape..."
"Destiny... Hehe, does this world really have destiny?"
"I would like to try..."
After this group of people passed, Fang Xian went directly over the mountains and down Tongxuan Mountain.
It would be impossible to surround the entire mountain without sending out a large army. As for some weak patrols on the periphery, he relied on the premonition of the Daluo Dongxuan Secret Observatory to avoid them one by one.
This is because they don't want to kill more people, otherwise it would be very easy to kill their way out.
"However... a first-level alchemist is still very weak, not to mention that I haven't yet mastered the Nine Transformations of Gangsha... I don't have much killing power. With only martial arts, it's still a bit dangerous when surrounded by thousands of troops..."
'The most urgent task at the moment is to pursue the disaster and practice...'
Just as this thought came to mind, Fang Xian's expression changed:
[Robbery Power +10]
"This is... coming again, from that direction. It looks like something big has happened that has something to do with me?"
Fang Xian looked towards the direction of Dazheng County, thoughtfully.
