Chapter 322: The Wooden Boy and the Curse of the Strange Book
Li Daoxuan looked at Zuoqiu Bo, whose pupils were dim, without any pride or complacency . He just sighed softly and said, "The way of transformation is to learn from the nature of heaven and earth. The real superior transformation magic is not about being brave and fierce, but about avoiding the three disasters and nine difficulties to become an immortal. Zuoqiu Sect Master, you should take care of yourself."
Hearing Li Daoxuan's words, Zuo Qiubo's dim eyes were slightly disturbed.
He gritted his teeth, climbed up from the ground, and looked at Li Daoxuan deeply.
"I am ashamed that Master Taichong is not as good as him in transformation skills. The old grudge between me and Longhu Mountain is over now . In the future, I will give up when I see Longhu Mountain disciples!"
Having said this, he turned and staggered away.
Li Daoxuan looked at his somewhat desolate back and suddenly remembered a sentence that Lady Qingyi once said.
She said that in the early Han Dynasty, there were still people who practiced Qigong, hiding in famous mountains and rivers, eating wind and dew, picking wild vegetables for food, not cultivating supernatural powers, but only cultivating their lives. However, with the change of dynasties and the great changes in the world, there are almost no such hermits now.
People who practice cultivation in today's world are obsessed with magic and supernatural powers. They only seek power and enjoy fighting, but they ignore the fact that Tao is the foundation and magic is of little use.
This Sect Leader Zuo Qiubo obviously made such a mistake. He spent his whole life studying the art of transformation, but neglected his own practice, so that his personality was subtly affected, his animal nature became stronger, and he became impulsive and irritable.
Li Daoxuan secretly warned himself that he should take it as a warning.
He looked at the boy lying on the ground, his eyes fixed, because the boy was beaten very badly and one of his legs was broken, but the broken part was not flesh and blood, but wood.
Many people also noticed this and talked about it.
"It turns out that this boy is not a human, but a fake one!"
"He also said that he was Gongshu Zhen's apprentice. I think he was just a wooden man made by Gongshu Zhen!"
"But this wooden man is really powerful. He knows a lot of Taoist magic..."
…
The boy lay on the ground, his pupils dilated and became somewhat empty.
In addition to the frustration of not being able to defeat Li Daoxuan's clone, his biggest secret was also exposed to everyone: he was not a human, nor a cultivator, but just a work of art, a toy.
This is also the reason why he can never grow up and can only maintain the appearance of a boy.
Li Daoxuan frowned slightly. It was amazing that the descendant of Lu Ban was so magical. The wooden figures he made looked no different from real people.
This is too incredible.
After thinking for a while, Li Daoxuan stretched out his hand and pointed. A robe floated out from the Three Realms Gourd and fell on the boy, covering his broken body.
The boy was stunned for a moment, and a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes as he looked at Li Daoxuan.
In the crowd, Wu Wei had a fiery look on his face, looking at the boy as if he were looking at a priceless treasure. He secretly sent a message to Li Daoxuan, asking him to leave the boy to him.
Li Daoxuan smiled brightly upon hearing this, and said in a voice transmission: "Junior brother, since you are so interested in the art of mechanisms, as your senior brother, I will give you a copy of the Lu Ban Book."
Wu Wei was shocked and extremely excited. Just as he was about to ask, he saw his senior brother open the third eye between his eyebrows.
The golden light was dazzling, the divine eyes were like torches, and he exuded such a terrifying power that no one dared to look directly at him.
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly. He saw an old man limping away quickly outside Longhu Mountain. Although the old man was lame, he walked very fast and walked dozens of feet in the blink of an eye.
"Please wait a moment, I will go and catch someone."
After saying this, Li Daoxuan's body turned into a ray of lightning, and disappeared in front of everyone with a deafening thunder.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering who Li Daoxuan was going to catch.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths!
At the third breath, another flash of lightning flashed, and Li Daoxuan returned to his original place, but with a lame old man in tattered clothes who looked like a beggar in his hand.
He threw the old man to the ground and said calmly, "You must be Gongshu Zhen."
As soon as these words were spoken, many Taoists opened their eyes and looked at the lame old man.
"That's not right. I heard that Gongshu Zhen was born with a handsome appearance. How could he be so ugly?"
"Yes, and although this person has some Taoist skills, they are not very profound. He is only at the middle stage of the Bigu state. How could he be Gongshu Zhen?"
The lame old man also had a dazed look in his eyes and was trembling with fear. He shouted for mercy and said that he was just a wild Taoist priest. He heard that there was a Heavenly Master Ceremony in Longhu Mountain and wanted to come and see it. However, due to his low status, he was not qualified to enter the mountain and could only watch from the foot of the mountain.
Even Zhang Qianyang frowned, thinking that his apprentice had caught the wrong person. This lame old man was completely different from Gongshu Zhen, whom he had killed with his own hands.
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "You can fool everyone in the world, but you can't fool my eyes. This body is not yours. You are using a corpse to revive, right, Gongshu Zhen?"
The lame old man's eyes shook slightly.
Then Li Daoxuan's eyes began to glow and became exceptionally deep, as if they could suck in people's souls.
The Nightmare Prayer among the 72 Disha Magical Powers!
Gongshu Zhen was indeed a veteran in this world. With his cultivation level at the middle stage of Bigu, he managed to hold out for more than ten breaths under Li Daoxuan's nightmare magic before his will collapsed and he fell into an illusion.
Then, under Li Daoxuan's manipulation, he confessed everything honestly.
It turned out that after he was killed by Zhang Qianyang, he deceived Zhang Qianyang with the secret method in "Lu Ban Book", and his ghost escaped and was able to linger on. Before he was about to dissipate, he finally found a beggar who had just died and immediately possessed him.
The beggar was very ugly and lame, and he was very dissatisfied. However, at this time his cultivation had greatly declined, and he even fell to the state of Bigu. His Yin Spirit could not leave his body, so he could only endure it for the time being.
Later, he suddenly had an inspiration and felt that the human body was too fragile, so he tried to create a perfect wooden body and then possess himself in it. This boy was his test subject.
Upon hearing that Zhang Qianyang was about to succeed the Heavenly Master, he brought the boy with him. On the one hand, he wanted to defeat the other party's disciple and vent his hatred, and on the other hand, he wanted to see the boy's power.
In fact, even if the boy died in Longhu Mountain, he would not have anything to feel sad about. After all, it was a failed product with big flaws. He could just make a more perfect one in the future.
…
After hearing Gongshu Zhen's words, Li Daoxuan looked at the boy with some pity, then put talismans on the two of them and asked his disciples to imprison them in the Demon-Suppressing Hall.
Wu Wei could hardly wait to follow him. He was extremely curious about this wooden boy and the "Lu Ban Book".
Looking at Gongshu Zhen's limping figure, Li Daoxuan suddenly remembered something.
Although "Lu Ban Book" is a rare book of its time and records many wonderful techniques, it is also an ominous book. It is said that those who study this book are destined to lack one of the following skills, that is, they have to choose one of the following: widower, widowed, orphaned, single, or disabled.
This is because in the Spring and Autumn Period, Gongshu Ban was summoned to the capital to work not long after his marriage. Because he missed his wife very much, he made a wooden kite. If a person rode on it and chanted a spell, he could fly thousands of miles.
Later, when his wife was pregnant, she rode a wooden kite to see Gongshu Ban. As a result, she gave birth in mid-air and the dirty blood flowed out, making the Taoist magic ineffective. The wooden kite fell from the sky, killing two people.
When Gongshu Ban found out, he felt extremely regretful and cursed all the people in the world who were studying Lu Ban Book.
Li Daoxuan did not believe it before, but now seeing that Gongshu Zhen, who was said to be born with a handsome appearance, has now become a lame beggar, it fits the meaning of "disabled" in the missing family, which shows that this matter is not groundless.
By the way, if Wei learned the "Lu Ban Book", would he also be cursed?
