Chapter 24 Fierce, Taoist Temple
In full view of the public, the villagers of Xiaosha Village saw the most memorable scene in their lives.
That little gourd can not only fly up automatically, but it can also absorb water?
At first they thought, how much water can a gourd hold? But gradually they discovered that they were wrong.
I saw water columns pouring into the gourd quickly, and the water in the pool was falling rapidly, and the small gourd was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
Many small fish and shrimps landed on the shore and were dancing on the ground.
The Three Realms Gourd cannot collect living creatures and will automatically expel them.
The water level is getting lower and lower, and the bottom of the pool can already be seen, with a faint brown figure jumping around.
After a few more breaths, the water in the pool was finally completely sucked away, revealing the thick mud underneath.
A big brown fish over three meters long was flapping in the mud with its mouth open and its fins like sawtooths.
Li Daoxuan's eyes focused on its bulging belly, and without any hesitation, he activated the fairy gourd.
"Burn it for me!"
boom!
The Three Realms Gourd spurted out scorching red flames and landed on the fish's back, burning its skin and flesh to pieces.
Li Daoxuan deliberately avoided its abdomen to prevent burning the child.
After a while, the big fish's back was almost cooked, and it was dying and lost its ability to resist.
Then at Li Daoxuan's signal, the villagers jumped down one after another, lifted the big fish up, cut open the abdomen, and found Granny Zhang's grandson.
At this moment, the child's face was blue and purple, and he was as angry as a thread.
Li Daoxuan first used a Liuding Liujia amulet on him to dispel the evil spirit, and then helped him perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
The child's parents and Granny Zhang were looking at him with pleading eyes, hoping that this powerful immortal master could save the child.
Fortunately, the child was very lucky. After Li Daoxuan performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation for a while, he suddenly coughed and spit out a mouthful of water, and his face returned to normal.
He opened his eyes in confusion and saw his mother crying next to him, and said: "Mom, I just... seemed to have dreamed that I was swallowed by a big fish..."
At this time, Granny Zhang knelt down towards Li Daoxuan. Her face was full of shame and she said, "Thank you so much, Master Immortal. I, I have doubted Master Immortal before. I really deserve to die, even worse than a beast!"
As she said this, she wanted to give herself a slap.
Li Daoxuan quickly stopped her and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. I was negligent before and almost delayed your farming. Now that the person has been rescued, you should go back quickly."
The old villager came over, holding dozens of copper coins in his hand.
"Master Immortal, although we are farmers, we also know that to subdue demons, we have to pay for it. We all collected some money together. Please don't dislike it!"
Li Daoxuan looked at the copper plates and their somewhat ashamed eyes.
Obviously these simple villagers feel sorry for being given only this small amount of money, but there is only so much they can scrape together now.
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly, reached out and took out one of these copper plates.
"As a poor man, the price you charge depends on your mood. I'm in a good mood today, and one is enough."
If he is a rich man, he will not hesitate to ask for more, but for these villagers who don't even have enough to eat, one copper plate is enough.
At this time, the fish demon with extremely strong vitality finally died completely.
"The Heavenly Book of Demons" bloomed with light, and a line of writing emerged.
"In the first month of Zhenguan, in May, I killed a fish demon in the ancient pond of Longshou Mountain. This demon has been practicing for twenty years and occasionally feeds on human beings. If you kill it, you will be rewarded - [One Year of Taoism]!"
Li Daoxuan's eyes showed a hint of joy, he finally wanted to improve his Taoism!
The next moment, the magic power in his body surged like spring water, doubling directly. His limbs and bones were all warm, and it seemed that his strength had become much stronger.
However, before he could be happy for long, he felt a sharp stinging sensation in his lower abdomen, as if he had been penetrated by ten thousand swords, heartbreaking.
Li Daoxuan's face suddenly turned pale.
"Immortal Master? Immortal Master, what's wrong with you?"
Old Cunzheng said with some worry.
Li Daoxuan let out a long breath. The severe pain he felt just now had subsided, but he had a hunch that the problem had not been solved.
There is something wrong with his cultivation. If it continues like this, it will probably become more and more serious!
We must find Taoist Zhang Qianyang as soon as possible!
Li Dao
After saying that, he waved his hand and left.
Suddenly, he paused, as if he remembered something, and said, "By the way, Mr. Muramasa, I have something to ask you."
"Immortal Master, just ask!"
"The reason why I was able to eradicate the snake demon this time is thanks to the wife of the Niu family in Sanhe Village. Could you please inform her of the death of the snake demon and tell the villagers in Sanhe Village that she is the hero who eliminates the demon? To tarnish her reputation again."
Old Muramasa immediately said: "This is a simple matter, I will definitely do it!"
Li Dao
…
At dusk, before the sun set, Li Daoxuan arrived in Xinyang County.
The county town is obviously more lively, and the houses are scattered in an orderly manner. Most of them are wooden structures, and occasionally there are brick houses. They look more grand and belong to the local wealthy families.
Li Daoxuan was walking in the market. The road was smooth and open. Although it was not as clean and tidy as later generations, it was much better than the muddy roads in the countryside.
It was already dusk now, there were not many people in the market, and some merchants who had set up stalls had begun to close their stalls and prepare to go back.
There was a curfew in the Tang Dynasty. If you walked out at night without any reason, you would be whipped twenty times.
Of course, if you are in your own house and can't come out, then you can have fun as you like. Therefore, people in the Tang Dynasty did not have no nightlife. As long as the house was big enough, they could do disco dancing, barbecue, etc.
Li Daoxuan stopped in front of a stall owner selling jewelry and said with a smile: "Brother, can I ask you something?"
The stall owner was a middle-aged man who looked very honest. He smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
"Do you know where Zhenyang Taoist Temple is?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing the words Zhenyang Taoist Temple, the stall owner's expression changed drastically, his smile faded, and he glanced at Li Daoxuan up and down.

"What are you asking about there?"
"I want to visit a senior."
The stall owner shook his head repeatedly, without looking at Li Daoxuan, and said: "I don't know, just ask someone else!"
Li Daoxuan was surprised and didn't know why his attitude suddenly changed.
He asked other people, and found that when they heard the four words Zhenyang Taoist Temple, the expressions on their faces changed drastically, and even the way they looked at him was a little strange.
It's like looking at the god of plague...
Fortunately, after Li Daoxuan persisted in questioning, a vegetable seller finally told him the general location.
The most remote West Street in Xinyang County is known as "Jie Si".
When Li Daoxuan came to this street, he realized why it was called Jisi. The whole street was hung with talismans and black cloth used to ward off evil spirits, and each shop enshrined different statues of gods.
Everything sold on this street is stuff that only dead people can use.
Shroud shop, coffin shop, customized epitaph...
When Li Daoxuan stepped into this street, he seemed to feel that the temperature around him had dropped a bit.
He walked quickly, and when he reached the end of the temple, he finally saw a dilapidated Taoist temple.
Opening the door, Li Daoxuan took a breath of air.
