Chapter 281: Sixteen years of planning, landing in Longhu Mountain
The ghost baby was born with the ability to enter dreams and feed on people's nightmares, so from that time on, the people in Shanghe Village began to have nightmares frequently.
This is also the reason why people in Shanghe Village are afraid of sleeping. Because of the fear of nightmares, they would rather endure day after day with heavy dark circles under their eyes than fall asleep.
Later, the ghost baby felt that he was very powerful and wanted to avenge his mother, so he went to Zhang Tiande to take his life.
He was almost successful. In the nightmare, Zhang Tiande went through countless tortures, almost had a mental breakdown, and even asked for death.
But what the ghost baby didn't expect was that just when he was about to get his revenge, Zhang Jiuxiao came out.
Zhang Jiuxiao was furious when he found out his son was tortured by a ghost. He suppressed the ghost baby with thunder and used secret methods to manipulate it into a puppet.
Zhang Jiuxiao valued the potential of the ghost baby. Instead of killing the ghost baby, he subdued a horse demon and ordered it to build a Guanyin Temple in Shanghe Village to collect incense and divine power for the ghost baby so that it could continue to grow stronger.
In Zhang Jiuxiao's plan, the ghost baby seemed to play an important role, so he spared no effort to help it grow. In just a few years, the ghost baby went from the early stage of Yin God to the late stage of Yin God.
The ghost baby's previous provocative behavior on Mount Longhu was Zhang Jiuxiao's signal.
He has the ability to escape into dreams at any time. As long as there is someone sleeping within dozens of miles around the ghost baby, he can escape into dreams at any time without leaving any trace. This is why he can come and go freely in Longhu Mountain.
And because Zhang Jiuxiao had to be in charge of the affairs of Longhu Mountain all year round, in order to prevent the ghost baby from betraying him, he also gave the horse demon the method to subdue the ghost baby. The horse demon stayed in Shanghe Village, one to collect incense and divine power, and the other to be Zhang Jiuxiao's eyes to keep an eye on the ghost baby.
It's a pity that he never thought that Li Daoxuan would take the initiative and find Shanghe Village so quickly and quickly kill the horse monster. This gave the ghost baby a chance to catch its breath, and it immediately created a dream and asked Li Daoxuan for help.
…
After learning the whole story through the dream , Li Daoxuan felt even more disgusted with Zhang Tiande.
Is such a beast worthy of staying in Longhu Mountain?
And there is Zhang Jiuxiao, who calls himself the Five Thunder Immortals and a Taoist master, but he actually covers the sky with one hand and becomes the umbrella for demons!
If it weren't for his protection and connivance, how could Ma Yao and Zhang Tiande harm so many innocent women?
Fortunately, the net of heaven is vast and long, and nothing can escape it.
The ghost baby that absorbed the power of incense awakened the ability to possess people, but it could only attach itself to women who had contributed their power to him, that is, women who had come to the Guanyin Temple to burn incense. This allowed Li Daoxuan to seize the flaw.
In the dream, the ghost baby appeared beside Li Daoxuan, knelt down and kowtowed to him, asking Li Daoxuan to help him escape from Zhang Jiuxiao's control.
"These are just your words at the moment. Do you have any other news about Zhang Jiuxiao?"
Li Daoxuan stared into his eyes and asked.
He only believed half of what the ghost baby said, not completely.
If all this is true, then what is Zhang Jiuxiao's purpose in training the ghost baby? And why did he let it go to Longhu Mountain to provoke?
Even...the old Taoist priest was trapped in a nightmare. Is this related to it?
But if someone said that the old Taoist priest was trapped by a ghost baby, Li Daoxuan would be the first one who did not believe it. Even if he was poisoned by a strange poison, the old Taoist priest could not be trapped by a mere ghost baby.
However, looking at this ghost baby, Li Daoxuan had a flash of inspiration. He wondered if he could sneak into the old Taoist's dream and wake him up?
He has a natural ability to enter dreams, which is much better than the Taoist technique of entering dreams. Perhaps this method really works!
Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan felt a little excited, but he remained calm and observed the ghost baby carefully.
We must first make sure that the other party is not lying...
The ghost baby seemed stumped by this question. He thought about it over and over again, with his big head tilted, as if his slender neck would break on the ground in the next moment.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
Three shadows appeared in front of Li Daoxuan, a mouse, a hedgehog, and a fox.
The ghost baby gestured with his hand, saying that he had seen these three monsters by Zhang Jiuxiao's side. They were mysterious and only appeared at midnight, especially the fox, which Zhang Jiuxiao seemed to value very much.
Boom!
The moment he saw these three monsters, a bolt of lightning seemed to strike through Li Daoxuan's mind.
He was very familiar with these three monsters because he had killed them all with his own hands!
Five-power God!
These three monsters are the rat monster, hedgehog monster and fox monster among the Five Gods. They were once subdued by a Taoist priest. Later, they returned to Hongzhou and found that their remaining two brothers had died at the hands of Li Daoxuan, so they launched revenge.
But they were not as skilled as others and finally died at the hands of Li Daoxuan.
The fox demon among them was actually an eight-tailed fox demon from the Mara religion in disguise. The fox demon once said that he allowed himself to be subdued by the Taoist priest on purpose, and then took the opportunity to use his magic power to gradually make him fall into evil.
Thinking back to what the Ghost King Xu Du said unintentionally, the leader of the Moruo sect had been planning for sixteen years to deal with the old Heavenly Master...
The fog in Li Daoxuan's mind suddenly dissipated, and all the clues were connected, forming a complex and terrifying situation.
Sixteen years ago, in order to deal with the old Taoist priest, the leader of the Mara clan set up a trap. He (she) first calculated that the old Taoist priest's eldest disciple Zhang Jiuxiao would pass by the Wutong Temple in Xinyang County, and then let the eight-tailed fox demon Li take the place of Tao Jiang and deliberately be subdued by Zhang Jiuxiao. Then he (she) used magic to slowly bewitch him into becoming a demon.
There is probably another important reason why Pan Dan released the dragon. He wanted to get something from the dragon so that he could make a strange poison that could threaten the life of the old Taoist priest!
This strange poison was personally administered by the possessed Zhang Jiuxiao, leading to an ugly drama of father and son killing each other, and master and apprentice killing each other.
When everything is accomplished, Zhang Jiuxiao's control over Longhu Mountain is equivalent to the control of Longhu Mountain by the Moro Sect. Without spending a single soldier, he has made Longhu Mountain, the most difficult bone to chew and the leader of the Taoist sect, his own power and used it for his own purposes...
Li Daoxuan felt a chill on his back. This Mara leader had such terrible means and such sinister calculations!
Now the only two questions he was puzzled about were left.
First, what exactly was Zhang Jiuxiao's purpose in raising the ghost baby?
Second, what means did the Mara leader use to trap the old Taoist priest in a dream?
If we can figure out these two problems, then everything will be solved.
After sorting out his thoughts, Li Daoxuan looked at the ghost baby who was still thinking hard and smiled slightly. This time, he gained a lot.
He already believed about 80% of what the ghost baby said.
"I can help you, but—"
Before Li Daoxuan finished speaking, an abrupt bell sound suddenly rang out in the dream world.
The sound of the bell is very clear, like the sound of a golden bell or a jade chime.
But the ghost baby suddenly showed a look of fear and unwillingness, and the dream world began to collapse and crumble.
"Is the person who is controlling you here?"
Li Daoxuan asked hurriedly.
The ghost baby tightly grasped Li Daoxuan's wrist, tears constantly flowing from its eyes, and a pleading look appeared on its face.
The next moment, the dream world completely collapsed and turned into countless pieces.
…
Li Daoxuan suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the soft clouds.
He was still in the side room of the Lu family. Outside the window, the night was dim, the stars were twinkling, and he could hear the faint croaking of frogs, as if everything that had happened before was just a dream.
But Li Daoxuan looked at his wrist.
There was a small green handprint there, emitting a strong yin energy. Under the impact of Li Daoxuan's magic power, it was slowly fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
