Chapter Seven: The Lotus Butterfly Demon
After interrogating for most of the night, the case file was finally clean. Yang Nan, who felt slightly dizzy, picked up the teacup and gently inhaled a few wisps of the aroma. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although this case in the mountains is simple, it is better because of the large number of cases. It is difficult to deal with it.
It took a lot of energy. According to Yaksha, there were many powerful immortal cultivators in the past, but none of them were willing to deal with such a trivial matter, which led to a mountain of strange cases.
Yang Nan shook his head and smiled bitterly. It takes a lot of energy for these mountain gods to try the case, and there is no merit or any visible benefits. Except for the official mountain gods who have to do what they have to do, it is no wonder that others
Too lazy to take care of it, which monastic would distract himself from such a thankless task?
After the trial of the case was over, Yaksha and a group of ghosts and ghost officials bowed down in front of the hall and said, "Master, God, I will sort out all the backlog of cases in one night. When the tiger comes back, I will finally have an explanation." Yang Nan tried the case.
He was as decisive as chopping melons and vegetables. Although all the ghosts were too tired to stand upright, they were all convinced.
Yang Nan waved his hand and said calmly: "That's all. Now that the backlog has been cleared, it's time for me to say goodbye." It's not easy for these gangsters. The mountain god is gone, and they still have to work hard to maintain the 800-mile Qingbi Mountain.
Jiye can be regarded as being loyal and dedicated to his duties. It was rare for Yang Nan to be a good person and he felt quite accomplished.
Yaksha stood up respectfully and asked the two brats on the side to bring out several things. Yang Nan took a closer look and smiled secretly in his heart. The work was done, and now Yaksha was really giving benefits again...
The kid was holding a blue scroll in his hands, and several stones of different colors with strange lights, which presumably were Yaksha's filial piety to him.
The scroll was just returned, but a few stones seemed to be like the spiritual iron that Chiyang had said! But there is nothing that the people of the Bing Sect want more than the world's spiritual iron and spiritual stone. The spiritual stone and spiritual iron are produced by nourishing the earth's energy with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
, used to forge weapons to become magic weapons!
If measured by the value of the mortal world, a piece of spiritual iron is really worth ten thousand gold! If the small Qingbi Mountain Temple can produce these few pieces of spiritual iron, Yaksha and other ghost officials can be considered to have spent a lot of money.
"Shangxian, this volume of Xuanyi Qingshui Jue was left behind by a Taoist Immortal Chang Cave in Qingbi Mountain. Practicing it can increase some water-based supernatural powers. These pieces of spiritual iron are caused by the gathering of spiritual energy in Qingbi Mountain.
, used to cast immortal weapons, it can be said to be invincible! Although the immortal has great supernatural powers, it is also a wonderful thing to use these things as gifts to fellow Taoists." Seeing Yang Nan's expression of confusion, the three ghosts, Yaksha, Ghost Face, and Pig Head, pointed at the little ghost's hand.
They laughed at the gifts. In their minds, how could an immortal like Yang Nan value their humble skills and a few pieces of medium-quality spiritual iron?
'Xuanyi Qingshui Jue? Is it a Taoist cultivation technique?' Yang Nan was secretly happy, but he didn't expect that there was such a strange thing as spiritual iron in Qingbi Mountain. The mountains are connected to the earth, so Qingbi Mountain can be regarded as
He was an outstanding person, and the quality of the spiritual iron he produced was of average quality. Yang Nan was very respectful when he saw all the ghosts, and he accepted it without politeness. After a night of hard work, there is always something to gain, right?
After leaving the temple gate, I suddenly saw two ghost officials holding command arrows and dragging two girls in, shouting and cursing all the way. The soul-binding chains were tightly tied to the two girls. The ghost officials pulled the two girls to death.
It's so miserable to stumble!
Yang Nan looked up and saw those two girls. One was dressed in white like snow and the other was in a colorful skirt. Were they the two girls who didn't understand the world that he saw in Weiyang City?
'No wonder... they turned out not to be young ladies, but the monsters from Qingbi Mountain?' Yang Nan was thinking secretly when the ghost messenger stepped forward to report: "To the Master, these two little demons are so bold that they actually took advantage of the tiger's absence.
, went down the mountain several times to play in the mortal world, but fortunately they didn't cause any trouble. Today, I just took advantage of the master's divine power, and I arrested them and left them to the master!" Monsters are not allowed to descend to the mortal world. If they cause trouble, they will go up to the top.
They will blame the mountain gods for their poor control, and the ghosts are all unlucky, so the ghosts have a bad look at the fairies who descend to earth.
Gui Chai talked about the origins of the two girls. Yang Nan nodded noncommittally, and he was willing to let these two little monsters go.
The mountains are lonely and cold. In fact, all the spirits in the mountains yearn for the prosperous world. However, most of the spirits are ignorant of worldly affairs. They are bound by divine laws in the mountains, but they will inevitably cause trouble once they enter the human world. Demons and ghosts who have practiced deep cultivation are even more terrifying. If they are not controlled, they will descend into chaos.
If you eat people, the world will be filled with blood.
These two little monsters are innocent, but they like to play in the human world. They have not committed any crimes. It is just that the law is clear. In the past, it was just a matter of the mountain gods being absent. Today, with the support of Yang Nan, a group of ghost officials have been practicing in the mountains for thousands of years.
The old monsters have captured their souls and come to accept their crimes, not to mention these two flower demons and butterfly demons who have only practiced for less than two hundred years?
Yang Nan asked and found out clearly that the one in white was a flower demon made from jade lotus flowers, and the one in Caiyi was a butterfly demon that had been with her for two hundred years. The two little demons were born strange, and were born in a spiritual spring in a deep valley in the mountains. The spiritual spring was uniquely blessed by nature.
The aura is so rich that in less than two hundred years, the two demons turned from ordinary mortals into spirits!
However, they were naive and romantic, and became curious after listening to the descriptions of the spirits from the mountains about everything in the world, so they went to the human world several times to hang out. This would violate the laws of the mountain gods, and according to the laws, they would have to suffer in the prison of the gods for a hundred years.
!
The two little demons saw that the mountain temple, which had dim light in the past, suddenly had a bright light. A group of ghost officials were like stars holding the moon around a man who was protected by the light. The man whose face could not be seen clearly knew that there was a god.
When I came down to earth, I was even more trembling in my heart. I knew I was doomed this time, so I just lay on the ground and cried.
"Yaksha, what will happen if there are monsters committing crimes in this temple after I go there?" Seeing the two little monsters with pale faces and crying, Yang Nan's mind changed and he suddenly had an idea.
Yaksha was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "When the master leaves, the divine light in the temple will be dim again. The divine seal is as heavy as a mountain. How can you guys lift it? If the tiger doesn't
When I come back, I'm afraid it won't be long before the case piles up again..."
There are countless spirits and monsters in the mountains, and the number of those who secretly descend to the mortal world is unknown. The mountain temple has no owner, just like a group of dragons without a leader. Even if the ghosts are wrong, the ghost soldiers will be powerless if they want to clear up the case. Without the divine seal to cover the command arrows blessed with divine light, how can they arrest them?
How about those monsters with great magical powers? If the temple is not enveloped by divine light, just a mortal can destroy the statue and push it to the temple door. How can it suppress these eight hundred miles of evil monsters?
The three ghost heads headed by Yaksha and others complained secretly in their hearts, but how could they dare to accuse the irresponsible mountain god?
Yang Nan knew in his heart that he was afraid that the tiger would not be able to come back for a while. The female ghost outside Chang'an once said that the god of the underworld, Leng Mang, had disappeared. It was expected that the emperor of thick soil had also disappeared. Otherwise, how could the mountain god be possible?
Abandoned without permission? It is impossible for Tianzhu Peak to send another tiger in the short term.
"I have a way. There are one hundred and twenty divine orders in the arrow pot. I stamp all these arrows with divine seals, and then cast a spell to inject a ray of divine light into the temple. After using these two things, I think it will work.
Wait until Guizhao can operate normally for a while."
Yang Nan's suggestion made all the ghosts and ghosts happy. It's not like they didn't know this method, but the Immortal has always been at the top, so how could they be willing to waste their divine power on this small mountain temple? Even if they knew it, they didn't dare to mention it!
"Thank you, God! Thank you, God!" All the ghost officials shouted happily.
Yang Nan pointed at the two little demons and said with a smile: "I see that these two little demons have no serious crimes. I also lack two maids. It would be a good thing to accept them to clean the cave for me."
There are so many little monsters in the mountains, but these two little monsters really don’t count. Yang Nan asked for something, and of course Yaksha obeyed. He said with a smile on his face: "The master favors them, and they belong to these two little monsters."
Fortunately, I will ask the master to cross out the names of these two little monsters in the spirit book later, and from now on they will be under the control of the master!"
The spirit book is like the book of life and death in the underworld. Every time a spirit is born in a mountain, there will be an additional name and origin on the spirit book in the mountain temple. It’s just that the spirits are different from mortals. As long as they reach the holy level, they can break away from the constraints of the spirit book and become free.
Feel free to travel around three mountains and five mountains, and no longer be bound by the mountain gods. Yaksha's request is not excessive, and Yang Nan will definitely agree.
"You two, why don't you thank the Immortal Master for his grace? From now on, you must serve the Master carefully. If you are destined to be immortal, you will also be able to achieve righteousness in the future! If you dare to neglect, be careful that you will be destroyed physically and mentally!" The ghost face on the side loosened his restraint.
Soul Chain shouted at them several times with a stern look on his face.
The two little demons escaped from the catastrophe, and they both fell to the ground and said sweetly: "I thank you for your kindness. I have been serving you for now, and I definitely don't dare to have any second thoughts!"
Only then did Yang Nan clearly see the appearance of the girl in colorful clothes. She had bright eyes, white teeth, jade arms and starry eyes. She was gorgeous but not ordinary, and had an awe-inspiring appearance. She also looked like a cultivator. The lotus demon beside her was also beautiful and refined.
, elegant and charming, the two women standing together gave this majestic and prison-like mountain temple a softer color.
Since the two demons were taken in by Yang Nan, they took on the role of a maid and reached out to take the scroll, Lingtie, sent by Yaksha. She stood behind Yang Nan and looked at Yang Nan curiously with two pairs of dark eyes.
Yang Nan entered the main hall and took out the spirit book. He checked out the names of the two little demons with a red pen and marked their whereabouts below. He casually stamped all the 120 divine orders with the divine seal. The small copper coins seemed to understand the owner's intentions and emitted radiant light.
The divine seal injected a ray of divine energy, and with the help of seven-colored light, the divine seal immediately released thousands of rays of brilliance, illuminating the mountain temple brightly. For a time, the rays of light shot straight into the sky, and all the ghost officials were happy.
With the protection of this divine light, the divine light of the mountain temple has not diminished in the past ten years. As long as it is used sparingly, one hundred and twenty divine orders can control the monsters in the mountain!
All the ghosts happily lined up and took Yang Nan to the bottom of Qingbi Mountain before bidding farewell with great gratitude.
Lotus demons and butterfly demons saw that Yang Nan had subdued the ghost officials with divine grace like the sea and divine power like prison. They were also worried about this new master. Little demons like them had no other use except for a little magic power. This
The immortal is actually willing to accept them, but I wonder how he will deal with them?
Seeing the uneasy expressions on the faces of the two little demons, Yang Nan turned around and said with a smile: "Do you really want to follow me? If you don't want to, go back to the mountain to practice and don't go down the mountain again. You must know that I can protect you once, but I can't protect you forever.
."
The butterfly demon opened his lips and smiled, and said softly: "I don't know something, but you can tick off our names in the soul book. From now on, we two sisters will belong to the master. Whether we are good or bad in the future, it all depends on the master's will."
"
The lotus demon had no ferocious aura at this time, and nodded sadly, looking pitiful. If he hadn't seen the lotus demon's unruly appearance in Weiyang City, Yang Nan would have thought that this lotus demon would be the same.
A delicate and delicate woman.
However, with the divine light of the small copper coin suppressing him at this time, he was not afraid of the trouble the two demons could cause. Seeing that the butterfly demon was sincere, Yang Nan also smiled and said: "I am actually not an immortal, I am just a mortal who went to Kunlun to become a disciple.
Whether you can achieve immortality is still unknown. If you regret it, I can find a deep valley to place you, which is better than sleeping in the wind and dew next to me."
The butterfly demon smiled bitterly in his heart. Little demons like them are born under the jurisdiction of mountain gods. If they are eliminated from the list and have no master to protect them, I am afraid that any spirit will devour them mercilessly. Mountains have mountain gods, and water has water gods. I think
How can finding a place to stay be as simple as Yang Nan said?
After the soul book has been eliminated, there is no place for them in Qingbi Mountain. If Yang Nan doesn't take them in anymore, I'm afraid they will disappear one day!
"Master, our sisters have followed you for thousands of miles. Even if you die without regrets, I hope you won't dislike me!" Although the lotus demon was a little afraid of this new master, but it was about the future, so he had to speak boldly.
How did she know that this man shrouded in divine light was actually a kid she had seen in the city? Even if she knew, she would never dare to be as bold as before. Going down to earth privately is a serious crime. If she is locked up in a divine prison for a hundred
Years ago, the suffering was really unbearable! There was nothing wrong with following the disciples who cultivated immortality. Legend has it that Kunlun Mountain was a fairyland on earth, with abundant spiritual energy. If one could cultivate there for a hundred years, it would be several times that of the human world! Of course the two demons were willing to follow Yang Nan.
Yang Nan did not reveal the reason behind the incident. Since he was committed to the Tao, there was nothing wrong with accepting the two little demons. As he was about to speak, there was a loud sound in the sky, and suddenly he saw a star in the sky above his head streaking an arc of light towards the west.
Falling down, the star was as bright as a bucket and disappeared into the sky in an instant. Waves of thunderous sounds were faintly heard from the west!
Yang Nan was shocked in his heart, 'The literary star fell to the west, and the sound was like thunder! This is a sign of the decline of a certain literary star! Did grandpa really pass away?'
The only one in the Confucian sect who can be called a master now is the old Duke Yang Pu! The appearance of this ominous omen made him so confused for a moment that he did not bother to talk to the little demon anymore. He waved his hand and said, "You guys are following me like this."
I don’t have the solution, I still need to think of a way to bring you with me, how about you go back to the valley first?”
Seeing the master's heavy expression, the lotus demon hesitated for a moment and then said: "Master, I don't know. My body is a jade lotus. It can be big or small. When the lotus pods are closed, I can hide my sister in butterfly clothes. Master only needs to put the jade lotus."
Put it on the top of your head as a hairpin, and my two sisters can follow the master."
