The seal thief didn’t know Xie Lingya, or even knew that such a person existed. What kind of expert could a layman be? With a cruel smile, he wanted to see how these two brave boys would be torn into millions of pieces by the evil spirits.
Shi Changxuan tied his hand seals, and he sat on the ground, closing his eyes and thinking, regardless of the evil spirits around him.
Xie Lingya looked at the uncontrollable ghosts and held the Three Treasure Sword horizontally with a calm expression, “The ancestor left me the Three Treasure Sword, and I have practiced the three methods of kindness, thrift and surrender with my heart.”
The evil spirits gradually approached, there were men and women, old and young, some had died by swordsmanship, or hanged themselves, or lived to the end of their lives and were tortured after death.
The descriptions varied, some were bleeding from all the orifices, and some were crawling with their intestines pierced and rotten. Before he could see it, they were about to pounce on Shi Changxuan, who was sitting upright.
Xie Lingya stood next to Shi Changxuan and continued calmly: “Compassion makes you brave; frugality makes you broad-minded; and since you don’t dare to be the first in the world, so you can become a powerful weapon!”
He swung his sword, but no ghost was hurt.
A faint golden light emitted from the sword, spread out, and enveloped the endless ghosts.
Before Wang Yuji died, he told Xie Lingya that he must tell his successors that the Three Treasure Sword needed one to train the heart.
Only with kindness could one be brave; only with simplicity could one be broad-minded; only by putting people in the world first could one achieve great things.
This Three Treasure Sword technique could not be achieved just by practicing thousands of times. If you have the kindness and wisdom in your heart to let the three treasures in, you can achieve it just by swinging the sword. There were only a few formulas for the three sword moves of the Three Treasure Sword written in the notes, and there were no detailed sword moves. This was because swordsmanship cultivated the mind.
The last sword move of the Three Treasure Sword, the Rang Sword, also known as the Tianxia Sword, was the most powerful sword move and the most difficult to master.
When Xie Lingya saw these ghosts just now, his mood was agitated, and he understood it in a flash. He suddenly figured out why his uncle had aged prematurely…
It must be that when he was killing demons, even when he was exhausted, he still had to use the sword to kill the ghosts in front of others and thus exchanged his lifespan for strength.
Xie Lingya’s eyes filled with tears, and the golden light on his sword became even brighter.
His uncle had innocent people in mind, so he let the sword kill the demons. Although the ghosts in front of him were not human beings, they were also trapped innocently, and Xie Lingya’s heart was attached to them, so his sword was equally powerful and wide-ranging, but it was the Sword of Duhua – wherever the golden light shone, and touched the evil spirit in the ghosts’ body, it was cleansed away!
The merits and thoughts cultivated by the masters of the past generations on the Three Treasure Sword flew with the golden light, awakening people from nightmares.
The ghosts woke up like a dream, regained consciousness, and had Taoism in their hearts again. Their faces no longer had a ferocious look but were full of tranquility. The ghosts who were originally resisting Zhang San and others no longer resisted.
The panting Yin soldiers stopped and looked surprised.
….
Xie Lingya’s body went limp and he almost fell down. This was the first time since he started working part-time in this industry that he experienced “feeling like his whole body was being hollowed out.” Fortunately, he used his sword to hold on in time, knelt on the ground on one knee, and looked into the distance.
He then saw the seal thief’s face turn extremely ugly. He never expected this scene. He thought that he was already a genius. He had mastered the magic staff method and had taken away the Du Gong Seal and the Sanwu Evil Slaying Sword. At this time, his heart was surging, and his fingers were subconsciously squeezing the bamboo staff tightly, which was pointed a little northeast.
At this time, Shi Changxuan’s Niwan Palace[1], a golden light which he had been brewing for a long time, suddenly rose up, like a flame, and was suddenly thrown at the seal thief!
The seal thief didn’t expect it, so he raised his bamboo stick to block it, but the golden light was so powerful that he broke the bamboo stick and hit his head. There was a clear ringing sound, and the seal thief fell down.
Immediately, the stream of light returned to Shi Changxuan’s Niwan Palace.
At this time, Xie Lingya saw a dark shadow coming out of the tree in the northeast. It turned out that the seal thief wanted to use the magic staff to summon the enemy tree demon in the mountain. Although he still had many ghosts, he did not want to call them out again, lest they be salvaged by Xie Lingya before they even got close, but he only had time to summon one.
Although the person who made the covenant was gone, the tree demon turned his head, and still rushed over and went to grab Shi Changxuan with one palm.
Shi Changxuan was still adjusting his breath, so Xie Lingya stepped in front of Shi Changxuan without hesitation, but he was completely out of strength, so he was scratched on the shoulder.
Fortunately, Zhang San rushed over soon and locked the tree demon, “Teacher Xie, are you okay?”
“It’s okay.” Xie Lingya frowned. There were probably a few scratches on his shoulder, but they were not critical and would not cause him to cry or scream.
At this time, Shi Changxuan finished the spell, opened his eyes, and hugged Xie Lingya!
“?” Xie Lingya was stunned for a moment. He had experienced too much for the first time today. He felt his body being hollowed out for the first time. He saw Daochang Shi so excited for the first time. Didn’t he just block it?
Alas, Daochang Shi was usually so boring, so he probably didn’t have many friends. Xie Lingya also hugged Shi Changxuan with one hand and patted him.
Shi Changxuan’s face turned a little red, which was caused by his mood swings. Although he had kept his eyes closed just now, he was still aware of what was happening in the outside world, whether it was Xie Lingya saving tens of thousands of ghosts with a sword move or later blocking the strike for him.
After a while, Shi Changxuan recovered. Realizing that he had lost control, he let go of Xie Lingya and bowed his head in silence.
Xie Lingya stood up holding the tree, and Shi Changxuan stood up and held his hand.
Those ghosts were washed away of their evil auras, salvaged, and the magic staff was split. They all now stood there obediently, waiting for guidance from the Yin soldiers. Then, according to their own merits and sins during their lifetime, they had their own destination. The good thing was that the souls who originally wanted to die also had the opportunity to be reincarnated.
Based on Zhang San’s eyesight, which he had developed from dealing with ghosts for such a long time, a rough estimate suggested that there were about 20,000 ghosts. These ghosts were sent away one by one, and they all saluted Xie Lingya before leaving.
Zhang San and the others couldn’t care less. After greeting Xie Lingya, they were busy controlling the dead souls. There were many ghosts but few soldiers.
“Hey, Daozhang Shi, let’s catch the thief first. I’m afraid that guy might not be okay.” Xie Lingya staggered over there, thinking that he had to tie the thief up tightly no matter what. He was afraid of that kind of person, who even if he moved his hands, could summon spirits.
Shi Changxuan: “…”
He had no choice but to help Xie Lingya over.
….
Only when they got there did they see that there was only a bamboo staff and a set of clothes in the grass in the dark, but they didn’t know where the person was.
“Damn it, I was only a few seconds late!” Xie Lingya thought to himself, then he hugged Daochang Shi without even treating the wound. “What happened to that guy? He ran away with his butt naked?”
Shi Changxuan: “…”
Shi Changxuan felt that his originally shocked mood had gradually calmed down a lot under Xie Lingya’s repeated words. He said: “Impossible, he was hit by the Flowing Gold Fire Bell and couldn’t have gotten up.”
The Flowing Gold Fire Bell was originally a Taoist bell-shaped magic weapon and was derived from the Flowing Gold Fire Bell Talisman and the Flowing Gold Fire Bell Seal.
Shi Changxuan practiced the Flowing Gold Fire Bell technique since he was a child. He first drew talisman, then drew the talisman in his heart, and finally directly imagined the Flowing Gold Fire Bell in his heart, and used Taoism to activate it, which could damage humans, animals, and trees. This was a spell that required both talent and hard work. It required great perseverance and there was no shortcut. If Shi Changxuan had a few friends and often went out to play when he was a child, he probably wouldn’t be able to practice it…
The magic formula said that he could throw a star with his left hand, a lightning bolt with his right hand, and a fire that flowed thousands of miles away from his Niwan Palace. What monster could then stop him? How could the seal thief possibly run away after being attacked like this?
Shi Changxuan suddenly thought: “After ten thousand kalpas, he must have used the bamboo staff to replace himself.”
There was a special category of “substitute” in Taoism, in which various objects were used to substitute injuries or even death, it was just very difficult to practice, especially in modern times, when times had changed, people’s living environment and thoughts had changed, even fewer people could practice it.
The same went for the Flowing Golden Fire Bell just now. To someone who had received scientific education since childhood, if they imagined that there was a weapon in their body, and they could throw something and hit someone after thinking about it, let alone thirty years, even if you give them sixty years, they may not be able to practice it.
This seal thief, Lao Jianghu, had thought of this trick from the very beginning. At that time, he didn’t even know what tricks Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan could use.
“I’m so angry. He couldn’t have run too far. Fortunately, we just photographed him and he’s wanted… I feel like the credit for the capture should be mine.” Xie Lingya couldn’t even breathe as he spoke.
Shi Changxuan felt funny in his heart and asked Xie Lingya to sit down and rest while he treated his wounds.
Shi Changxuan picked herbs on the spot, while Xie Lingya took out his mobile phone and saw that people from the Taoist Association had finally arrived.
“We are at the bottom of the mountain, why are there so many Yin soldiers and souls!”
“How is the situation? Xiao Xie, do you have time to look at your phone?”
“Good news, the police station called and the people have been identified.”
….
Xie Lingya knocked with one hand, then he picked up his cell phone and briefly explained that the guy had run away. It was unclear where he went, but he probably couldn’t be too far away. The Taoist Association’s people arrived late and just happened to have started chasing him.
As he was talking, Xie Lingya suddenly caught a glimpse of a small part of something exposed in the seal thief’s pile of clothes, which he had not noticed it in the darkness just now.
Xie Lingya coughed, bent down and opened the clothes, only to see a small wooden figure lying inside. It must have been that the seal thief escaped in a panic, so even his Liu Lingtong fell off.
Although “Down with the Seal Thief” had not yet been completed, at least “Capture Liu Lingtong alive” had been completed!
Xie Lingya was overjoyed and picked up Liu Lingtong. “I’ll ask a question and you answer it honestly.”
Shi Changxuan said to himself, although the seal thief’s cultivation was so high that no one could figure out where he was, but maybe the Reporting God could tell them something. He was the one who provided the support to him, so maybe he actually had some feeling for it.
Xie Lingya couldn’t wait to ask: “Can you sing Little Jumping Frog?”
Liu Lingtong: “???”
Shi Changxuan: “…………”
