Taiping Inn

The six magical powers of Buddhism are indeed mysterious, but they also depend on one's own cultivation. With Zhou Shuning's current realm and cultivation, the "Heavenly Eye" can hardly see through even a master who deliberately hides his aura, not to mention seeing through the nine heavens and ten earths.

Earlier, she looked at the Twenty-mile Bridge and found it was an empty town, but now someone walked out of the town, indicating that this person's realm is extremely high. Under the deliberate concealment of his aura, even the "Heavenly Eye" can't see through it.

After a while, the man walked out of the shadows. It was Li Xuandu wearing a straw raincoat and a hat. Under the straw raincoat, he was still wearing a green brocade official robe, a jade belt and black boots. The weapon hanging on his waist was naturally the notorious Wenluan Knife.

Li Xuandu glanced at the three of them and said, "I've said it before, when good and evil fight, it's dangerous everywhere, but you just don't listen. Now that you're here, you can't do anything about it."

Zhou Shuning frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Xuandu said, "Zaoge Sect will definitely not accept the setback this time, and will most likely continue to cause trouble. Although it's in Xiaozhou, there is no reinforcement from Xuannv Sect, and they are waiting for you to tire out. No matter how you look at it, you're at a disadvantage. I don't know what Xiao Shiyu is thinking, actually letting the four of you wander around the world alone, and really not sending anyone to watch over you?"

Several Xuannv Sect disciples were unhappy when they heard Li Xuandu call their sect leader by his name, but they kept silent because Li Xuandu had done them a favor.

Zhou Shuning said, "If you have someone watching over you, then is it still traveling in the martial arts world?"

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Traveling in the martial arts world is like a child learning to walk. At first, your parents help you walk, then they teach you to walk, then they walk with you, and finally they watch you walk alone. This process is gradual, and there is no reason to start running before you learn to walk."

When Zhou Shuning heard the sentence "there is no reason for anything", she immediately thought of her brother and some words that Sister Qin had said. When a man reaches middle age, whether he is frustrated or successful, there are few who don't like to brag. This kind of bragging is not the kind of seeking attention in youth, but with a sigh of nostalgia, standing at a height of overlooking, talking about the past, how difficult it was, and talking about every difficulty, as if every time is a matter of life and death. Countless choices, and finally the result of today, in the final analysis, is the four words "good at teaching others".

Zhou Shuning sighed and thought to herself, "Although my brother is not yet 30 years old, he is already a middle-aged man like Sister Qin when it comes to reasoning. But then again, since Sister Qin sees so clearly, how could she like my brother?"

Unfortunately, Zhou Shuning didn't know that the old-fashioned and teacher-like Li Xuandu was a completely different person in front of Qin Su, a real young man. Just like Zhou Shuning, she was a well-behaved little girl in front of Li Xuandu, shy and timid, but in front of others, she was quite majestic and eloquent, completely different.

Seeing Zhou Shuning didn't say anything, Li Xuandu had to continue: "Now this town, there are indeed few living people. Zaoge Sect used some means to make this town haunted in the daytime, and people are panicking. There are also Zaoge Sect disciples pretending to be Taoists from Zhengyi Sect entering the town. Zaoge Sect comes from Gezao Road, and they are still very realistic when pretending to be Taoists, so the people in the town can't help but believe them. These Zaoge Sect disciples asked the people in the town to take their gold and silver and leave the town temporarily in the name of performing rituals to exorcise ghosts. So what you see now is an empty town."

The young woman couldn't help asking: "Where are those Zaoge Sect disciples?"

"Gone." Li Xuandu said: "They left cleanly, but they left some things in this town. If you rashly enter the town, it may not be much better than walking on the night road outside the town."

Zhou Shuning finally asked: "What is it?"

Li Xuandu slowly uttered a word: "Ghost."

Several disciples of Xuannv Sect were startled, and then reacted that this should be the usual method used by Zaoge Sect to get rid of ghosts.

Li Xuandu said: "This kind of thing is powerful, but it is hard to be hurt by ordinary swords. It is not so powerful. As long as it is handled properly, a yellow paper talisman can break it. Do you have any countermeasures in this regard?"

Zhou Shuning was silent for a while. Among the four of them, only the young woman was an alchemist, but the magic she was proficient in was still feminine. For this kind of ghost, it is necessary to use the most yang and strong magic. One yin and one yang, they are very different.

Li Xuandu said: "Forget it, as the saying goes, good people should be good to the end, and send Buddha to the west. I will suffer again and ensure that you spend the night safely. You should follow me closely and don't make any mistakes."

Zhou Shuning hesitated for a moment and said: "Thank you."

Li Xuandu waved his hand and smiled: "No need to thank, no need to thank, thank Governor Lu if you want to thank."

After that, the group entered the town. Not far away, an ancient tree that two people hugged came into everyone's sight. On the tree, there was a woman's face, sobbing softly.

Li Xuandu said: "This is a ghost called 'human-faced tree', which is very difficult to deal with."

After the voice fell, the woman's face suddenly stopped crying, opened her eyes and looked at the group of people. There were no eyeballs in her eyes, only two black eye sockets.

The two Xuannv Sect disciples couldn't help but screamed "Ah" when they saw this scene. Zhou Shuning and the young woman were still calm, but their faces turned pale.

Only Li Xuandu could remain calm and said: "Don't look into her eyes, be careful not to be distracted by her."

After hearing this, several people quickly turned their sight. Zhou Shuning asked, "Since that's the case, how should we defeat the enemy?" Li Xuandu said, "This kind of vicious thing with physical evil can be used to destroy the evil talisman or it can be used. Use force to break the trick directly, but the force required should be slightly larger..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Xuandu's figure suddenly moved. He unsheathed the Chinese phoenix knife and directly cut the woman's face off the tree trunk, bringing out silky things that looked like meridian blood vessels, but they were also Li Xuandu cut it off with one knife. After the face fell to the ground, it was still alive. It opened and closed its mouth, screaming shrillly, as if it had suffered a great pain, and was still struggling desperately, slowly squirming towards Li Xuandu, but the tree was A pothole was left, dripping blood.

Li Xuandu stepped on the face and shattered it, saying, "Zhaoge Sect used its power to fight against the entire world. The depth of its foundation should not be underestimated. Various secret techniques emerged one after another. It is said that Zaoge Sect was then There are nearly a hundred kinds of ghosts cultivated and raised, known as "Hundred Ghosts Walking Night", and there are more than ten kinds of ghosts related to trees. This "human-faced tree" is just one of them, and some people can see it."

Hearing this, the four women's face turned pale again, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Li Xuan joked: "In theory, you should say that Lord Liu's cultivation is really good at this time. Although this "human face tree" is not very powerful, it is also very troublesome. Ordinary people can't do anything. If you want to cut off this man's face with one knife, you must be perfect in the use of swordsmanship. This swordsmanship is really admirable."

Zhou Shuning looked at Li Xuandu and pondered for a moment before saying, "Isn't this flattery?"

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Flame is an indispensable learning in civil affairs, even if you are the leader of a sect, you cannot do without it."

"If you are all the leader of the same sect, you still have to flatter others?" Zhou Shuning shook her head and said, "I don't believe it."

Li Xuandu said: "If you are the leader of Xuannv Sect and participate in the righteous discussion, the great heavenly master and the great sword immortal spoke separately, what should you do? Should you say nothing with a cold face? Or do you praise the big heaven Master and Great Sword Immortal are very insightful, admire them, admire them'? "

Zhou Shuning was silent.

Li Xuandu said: "The key to flattery is how to transform it into invisible, and you cannot leave too many traces. No matter whether you are a central official, a chief official, or a sect leader or a master of heaven and man, you cannot escape it. And besides flattering others In addition, you must also deal with the flattery of the people below. No matter who you are, as long as you are not a saint, you will gradually believe it as true after listening to flattery. In the final analysis, how to flatter others without traces, how can you not It is all about losing yourself in the flattery of others. In this regard, Governor Lu is the best among them. Miss Zhou, if you have a good position in the Xuannv Sect, you will have this day."

Zhou Shuning's face became much more serious and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your advice."
