Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Li Tiezhu stared blankly at Feiyun Sword and exclaimed: "This...is this Feiyun Sword? Young Master, are you an immortal?!"

In surprise, he forgot to lower his voice, but the north and west rooms remained as quiet as ever.

Chen Yuan had already used his true energy to create a barrier around the two of them, so that no sound could be transmitted.

He smiled, did not answer, and pointed. The Feiyun Sword expanded to three feet in length and slowly flew in front of Li Tiezhu.

Chen Yuan said: "This sword is not immune to anything. Take it and destroy the Li family."

Li Tiezhu's eyes were straight, staring at Feiyun Sword. He let go of his right hand and the iron spear fell to the ground with a thud.

He swallowed hard a few times, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and slowly raised his right hand, carefully holding the Feiyun Sword. When his fingers touched the hilt, his body trembled.

He looked up at Chen Yuan, his eyes widened: "Chen... Mr. Chen, is the story you told true? Are you the immortal in that story?"

In the past half month, Chen Yuan not only taught Li Tiezhu and Qing Lan how to read and digit, but also told many stories, including the story of the immortal cultivator.

Both of them listened with great interest, but Qinglan was a girl after all. She only liked to listen to Chen Yuan talk about all kinds of magical scenery. When he talked about fighting skills, she was no longer interested.

But Li Tiezhu was extremely fascinated by flying to the sky, escaping from the earth, and killing people with a sword. Even when he returned home, he often pestered Chen Yuan to tell him stories.

Chen Yuan said: "The story is certainly true, but I am far from being called an immortal. I am just a cultivator of immortality."

Li Tiezhu suddenly let go of Feiyun Sword, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed three times: "Young Master's kindness, Tiezhu will never forget it!"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Get up, it's late at night, destroy the Li family earlier, and come back to sleep earlier."

"Yes, sir!" Li Tiezhu responded excitedly and got up from the ground.

He raised his hand to wipe off the yellow soil on his forehead, grasped the hilt of Feiyun Sword, and held it in his hand.

Chen Yuan turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate. Li Tiezhu followed him. Chen Yuan said calmly: "Let's go. Kill the servants outside first."

When Li Tiezhu heard this, he paused with a look of hesitation on his face: "Mr. Chen, do you want to kill these servants too?"

Chen Yuan said: "It's up to you. If you want to kill them all, kill them all. If you don't want to kill them, just go out by the back door."

Li Tiezhu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'd better take the back door."

After that, he bowed to Chen Yuan with great respect, turned around and walked towards the back of the north room.

Chen Yuan smiled and kept walking. When he reached the door, the courtyard door slowly opened and he walked out.

A few feet away from the courtyard gate, four or five servants were scattered on the hillside, staring at the courtyard gate, but no one saw Chen Yuan's figure. In their eyes, the wooden door had been tightly closed tonight, and no one had ever entered or exited.

Chen Yuan stepped down the hillside, and the courtyard door slowly closed behind him.

He dispersed his consciousness and took in all the scenes for miles around.

Li Tiezhu walked out of a hidden door on the fence behind the north house, avoiding the surveillance of the Li family's servants, and made a large circle to the bottom of the hillside.

Others couldn't see Chen Yuan, but in Li Tiezhu's eyes, Chen Yuan, dressed in a white gown, stood out under the bright moonlight and walked directly over here.

Chen Yuan said: "Let's go to Li's house."

"Yes!" Li Tiezhu responded and followed Chen Yuan into Qingshan Village.

Chen Yuan spread his consciousness and saw that in the north of the village, there was a manor with an extremely large area. There was a four-story mansion built in it, and Li Fugui and Li Wenju lived in it.

The two of them walked along the crooked dirt road to the Li family's manor.

It was the end of the twelfth lunar month and the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, and it was quiet at night. The villagers had already gone to bed, and there was silence.

Only a few night cats crossed the house and crossed the ridge, their green eyes appearing and disappearing like will-o'-the-wisps.

Chen Yuan concealed their figures, but did not deliberately hide their auras.

When they passed by the door of several houses, the yellow and black dogs lying beside the courtyard door sniffed twice in confusion, got up and looked around, but there was no sign of anyone, so they could only crawl down again in frustration.

Chen Yuan's feet seemed to be slow but actually he was anxious. Li Tiezhu was holding the magic weapon, murderous intent aroused, his mood was agitated, and his feet were extremely fast.

Not long after, the two passed through Qingshan Village and came to a stop outside the Li family manor.

For hundreds of years, the Li family has been the largest landowner in several nearby villages, with tens of thousands of acres of land.

The manor built has been passed down for hundreds of years. It occupies a vast area and is tightly guarded. The wall is about one foot high. There are servants who patrol the courtyard constantly to prevent thieves from sneaking in.

There are watchtowers several feet high at the four corners of the manor. People with excellent eyesight are always on duty to monitor the movements around the manor to prevent bandits and bandits from attacking at night, but neither Chen Yuan nor Li Tiezhu was found.

Chen Yuan turned to look at Li Tiezhu and said with a smile: "Tiezhu, you are holding this sword, no one can stop it. Even the gate of this courtyard wall can be broken with one sword, and it is even more difficult for the guards to break it."

"If someone shoots you with a crossbow, I will keep you safe. Now, you can go on a killing spree."

Li Tiezhu looked at the extraordinary manor in front of him, hesitated for a moment, turned to look at Chen Yuan, and asked: "Master, can you cast spells?"

"Spells?" Chen Yuan was startled, then smiled, "I won't help you, but you don't have to worry. Even if all the members of the Li family attack together, they won't be able to hurt you at all. Do you not believe me?"

Li Tiezhu quickly shook his head: "Of course I believe what the young master said. I just want to ask the young master to use a blind trick so that the servants can't see me."

Chen Yuan said: "You can just do it directly. They can't stop you anyway, so why bother?"

Li Tiezhu lowered his head slightly and said a little embarrassedly: "My lord, you gave me the magic weapon and protected me. I am already grateful. I really don't dare to trouble you to do it again."

"But my lord once told me and my sister the story of Qin II Hu Hai."

"Zhao Gao taught Hu Hai to use harsh punishments, so after he succeeded to the throne, he treated killing as grass and executed the whole family at will. This is what we call taking human life lightly."

"I want to kill Li Fugui and Li Wenju, father and son, and have nothing to do with these servants. There is no grudge, so I beg you to use a sleight of hand so that I can sneak into the Li family and kill only the main culprit, not the innocent. "

Chen Yuan smiled even more and nodded slightly: "Yes, it seems that you have remembered everything I taught you. Since you have this intention, I will help you."

He raised his sleeves and flicked them, and then said: "Okay, go, not only will the servants not see you, you can also pass through the wall."

Li Tiezhu was stunned to see that Chen Yuan just flicked his sleeves casually and finished the spell, but after hearing this, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the manor.

Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Li Tiezhu's back and smiled slightly.

Li Tiezhu was very nervous and walked to the side of the manor. He slowly raised his hand to touch the wall, but he went straight into it. He was sure in his heart and no longer doubted Chen Yuan's ability, so he walked in.

After he passed through the wall, three servants happened to pass by, talking and laughing, but they ignored Li Tiezhu and walked straight past him.

Li Tiezhu was completely relieved. After the three servants left, he went straight to the Li Mansion opposite the gate of the manor.

Late at night, the gate of Li Mansion was closed, but Li Tiezhu went through the wall and entered the courtyard.

He had only been to the county town once since he was a child, following Li Dalong. He had never seen such a luxurious house, but at this moment his heart was filled with hatred, and he had no time to watch it. He just walked through the walls and went deep into the Li Mansion.

But after walking for a while, he stopped in front of a screen wall, looked around, and his eyes were blank.

He was lost.

Li Tiezhu hesitated for a moment, raised the Feiyun Sword in his hand, and wanted to find a maid and servant to ask about Li Fugui and Li Wenju's room, but he was worried that he would scare them and alarm others if he hid his figure.

At this moment, a leisurely voice sounded in his ears: "Tiezhu, I have marked all the places where the Li family is. The house with white light on the surface is it. You can make your own decision."

Li Tiezhu was startled, and then he was overjoyed. He turned around and bowed in the direction he came from, whispering: "Thank you for your help, young master!"

He was no longer confused. He strode forward, looked around, walked through walls and avoided people, looking for a house emitting white light.

He walked in a straight line at a very fast speed. Not long after, he came to the second courtyard and saw a house with a faint white light on the surface.

Li Tiezhu was delighted, took two steps at a time, rushed over, passed through the closed door, and walked in.

The moonlight shone into the house through the window, and the furnishings in the house could be clearly seen.

In the moonlight, Li Tiezhu saw a young woman lying on the bed, wearing a yellow bellyband, with a large area of ​​white skin exposed, and a small part of her chest exposed. She looked peaceful and was sleeping soundly.

He was stunned for a moment, his face flushed, and he turned around and walked out in a hurry. Standing under the eaves, the erotic scene just now lingered in his mind.

He shook his head vigorously, exhaled lightly, suppressed the lust in his heart, and continued to walk deeper into the Li Mansion.

Whenever he encountered a house with white light on the surface, he would go in to check it out. If it was not Li Fugui and Li Wenju in the house, he would withdraw.

Gradually, he came to the fourth courtyard, which was also the most exquisitely decorated courtyard.

There were rockery ponds, green lotus and red flowers, pavilions and corridors, everything, with exquisite design, bright and elegant.

But Li Tiezhu turned a blind eye to all of them. In his eyes, there was only the house with white light.

He passed through a corridor and found a house with white light. He turned around and walked over.

He had found more than a dozen such houses before, but he didn't find Li Wenju and Li Fugui. He even ran into two couples having sex, blushing with shame.

This time, he didn't hold much hope. He casually walked through the wall and entered the house.

In the bright moonlight, Li Tiezhu looked at the bed and was stunned on the spot.

Li Wenju, whom he hated to the core, was lying on the bed, naked, with a half-naked and charming woman in his arms, sleeping soundly.

Li Tiezhu took a deep breath, murderous intent in his eyes, walked quickly to the bed, raised the Feiyun Sword in his hand, and chopped it down!

The Feiyun Sword passed through Li Wenju's neck, like passing through a piece of white paper. Li Wenju's head separated from his neck silently, but there was no blood at the wound.

The charming woman in Li Wenju's arms didn't notice it at all and was still sleeping soundly.

Li Tiezhu looked at the body of Li Wenju, and a feeling of satisfaction welled up in his heart. He turned and walked out of the house.

He had been shooting rabbits and mice with a soft bow near Qingshan Village since he was a child. Since this year, he went into the mountains with Li Dalong to hunt. He had long been accustomed to killing, and he had no special feelings about killing people.

As soon as Li Wenju died, Li Tiezhu's murderous intent dissipated by half, and his pace slowed down a lot.

He walked half a circle in the fourth courtyard and found another house with white light. This house was also the most luxurious house he had seen along the way.

Li Tiezhu tightened the Feiyun Sword in his hand. This was probably Li Fugui's room.

He quickened his pace, walked through the wall, and entered the room. He looked through the moonlight and saw a thin old man sleeping on the bed. It was indeed Li Fugui!

More than Li Wenju, he hated this old thief who colluded with the government and used fake land deeds to threaten his family!

Li Tiezhu's eyes widened with anger, he quickly walked to Li Fugui's bed, raised his sword and struck down!

But at this moment, the jade ring on Li Fugui's hand suddenly lit up, and a white light curtain poured out, protecting Li Fugui within it.

Li Fugui shuddered and opened his eyes, but he didn't wake up from his sleep, and his eyes were blank.

Li Tiezhu was startled and screamed secretly, but the Feiyun Sword had already struck down. With a bang, the white light curtain shattered, and the Feiyun Sword landed on Li Fugui's neck without any hindrance, and slashed down. Take his head off!

Li Fugui opened his eyes, but he was still confused, his life was solidified, and there was not a drop of blood on the wound. ,

Click.

The jade ring on his hand then split into two, and the light dimmed.

"Huh...huh..." Li Tiezhu took back the Feiyun Sword, looked at the jade ring with lingering fear, and breathed heavily.

When something unexpected happened, he was frightened.

After a while, he calmed down, pondered for a moment, picked up the jade ring that was broken in half, carefully put it in his arms, turned around and walked out of the house.

After killing Li Wenju and Li Fugui, my sister would not fall into the pit of fire again, and Li Tiezhu couldn't help but smile on his face.

But his mind changed, and he thought of the servant who forced him to kneel down during the day, and a murderous intention surged in his heart, and he stepped out to kill this person.

But as soon as he took two steps, he stopped, his eyes changed, and then he turned around and walked along the way he came, through the wall, and walked outside the Li Mansion.

He spent a lot of time looking for Li Fugui and Li Wenju when he arrived. He only had to walk in a straight line for a moment when he returned. In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Tiezhu walked out of the Li family manor.

Chen Yuan was still waiting where he was. He quickened his pace and came to Chen Yuan. Holding the Feiyun Sword in both hands, he bowed and handed it over: "Thank you for giving me the sword. I have killed Li Fugui and Li Wenju!"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, raised his hand, and Feiyun Sword disappeared out of thin air and returned to his dantian.

Li Tiezhu's face showed fascination when he saw such immortal methods.

But then he thought about the jade finger ring, and hurriedly took out the jade ring finger from his arms, handed it to Chen Yuan with both hands, and said: "Master, this jade ring finger..."

"No need to say it, it's okay, you don't need to take it to heart." Chen Yuan smiled slightly and took the jade wrench in his finger.

He never regained his consciousness, and everything Li Tiezhu did was clearly seen.

This jade ring is just a consumable low-grade magic weapon, which is vulnerable to the Feiyun Sword.

When he met Li Fugui this morning, he discovered the details of this jade ring. He knew that there was an immortal cultivator behind Li Fugui, but he didn't take it to heart.

This jade ring is so rough that the person behind it is only a Qi Refining monk at most, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Li Tiezhu felt relieved when he saw Chen Yuan's reaction.

A burst of flame burst out from Chen Yuan's hand, and he burned the jade ring finger to ashes. He turned around and walked away. Li Tiezhu quickly followed.

There was no words along the way. After walking for a while, Li Tiezhu suddenly discovered that this was not the way he came, but going up the mountain.

He was very puzzled, but he didn't dare to say anything and just followed Chen Yuan silently.

Under the moonlight, long shadows trailed behind the two people, and there was silence all around, even the sound of insects disappeared.

Two-quarters of an hour later, the two of them had left Qingshan Village and came to a low hill. Chen Yuan just stopped, and Li Tiezhu stopped after him.

Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his hands, looked up at the sky, and asked: "Tie Zhu, after you walked out of Li Fugui's room, you hesitated for a moment and then turned back. Why is that?"

Li Tiezhu stood behind Chen Yuan and replied respectfully: "After I killed Li Fugui, I thought of the servant who forced me to kneel down during the day. I was angry and wanted to kill him."

"But then I thought about it. Instead of killing the other servants, I would only kill this one. As long as the other three servants tell me that they forced me to kneel down during the day, the Li family will definitely know that it was me who did it."

"The young master is an immortal, so naturally he is not afraid of the Li family, but I can't cause trouble for the young master, and the jade ring also frightened me, so I didn't dare to cause trouble, so I retreated."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "Yes, you are young, but your thinking is very thorough, which is commendable."

Li Tiezhu grinned: "Young master taught me well. The stories he told are interesting and contain a lot of truth. I have learned more in the past half month than before combined."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Then do you still want to continue learning?"

Li Tiezhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Of course! I am willing to follow the young master and study and study with him for the rest of my life!"

Chen Yuan turned around and looked at Li Tiezhu with a serious look on his face: "What I will teach you from now on is not just reading and writing. Are you willing to worship me as your teacher and cultivate immortality and seek Taoism?"

Li Tiezhu was stunned, immediately fell to his knees and said loudly: "I do!"

Chen Yuan solemnly said: "To cultivate immortality and seek the Tao, you need to eat the wind and drink the dew, be with the breeze, be with the stubborn rocks, and practice hard with concentration."

"You also need to fight for the upper limit. You have to fight against the sky, the earth, people, and yourself. You are walking on thin ice and have a narrow escape. If you are not careful, your body and soul will be destroyed."

"And you are talented and intelligent. Now that Li Fugui and Li Wenju are dead, as long as you study hard, you will definitely be a high school scholar, a glorious family, rich and powerful, and enjoy endless things. But if you worship me as your teacher, you will not be able to do any of this." , are you still willing?"

Li Tiezhu said firmly: "I do! Only tonight do I know what real power is!"

"I don't know how many good women's innocence Li Wenju ruined, and how many people hated him, but I cut off their heads with one sword."

"That Li Fugui was a sanctimonious man. He colluded with the government in the land of fish and meat, and easily forced my family into a desperate situation. I had to make my sister a concubine for Li Wenju, but he died silently under my sword."

"If you study and become an official, you will be bullied by bigger officials. I don't want to study and become an official. I only want to worship the young master as my teacher and cultivate immortality and seek the Tao!"

Chen Yuan nodded slightly and said slowly: "Cultivation has no time. If you embark on the road of cultivating immortals and retreat once, it will be ten or eight years. You will no longer be able to accompany your parents and sisters. They are getting old, but you are still as young as ever. , are you still willing?"

"I...I..." Li Tiezhu was stunned. (End of chapter)
