Buddhism

Chapter 55

Those who can kill many creatures are either hunters or bandits, or bandits or soldiers on the battlefield.Now the world is peaceful, and I have never heard of any wars. Looking at this sneaky Lingdu, who looks like a three-dimensional, five-thick, and fierce-looking man, he is probably one of the latter two.

After inquiring along the way, I found out that there is a notorious bandit who occupies the mountain as king and commits all kinds of evil.In addition to intercepting the passing darts and the carriages of wealthy people, even the nearby villages where there is no oil and water, he would also go to grab them when he was interested.Not looking for money, just wanting to see people terrified and crying bitterly.This hated bandit is called Ling Du.

In short, this bandit Ling Du is notorious, and he has reached the point of being insane to the point of heinous.The surrounding villagers are walking on thin ice, dare not speak out.The nearby government offices were also silent and trembling.Because he is cruel and inhumane, he directly kills people when he sees his displeasure, so everyone is afraid of his notoriety.Not only is he cruel, but the bandits under him are even worse.This made him run wild for a long time, and it was not until a month ago that everyone was freed from the dire straits and days that seemed like years.

Zhizi looked at the mountain top that had been burnt to black soil in front of him, took a breath and said, "This bandit is also quite arrogant, he won't change his name even after becoming a demon, so he has nothing to fear!"

"He can still become such a sneaky man with evil aura even after he's dead, which shows that he really has his strengths." Mu Liang said.

Kong Qing shook his head and said in his heart: It's a crime, a good forest has been burned to such a horrible appearance, it's simply a crime.

"According to the villagers at the foot of the mountain, this old lair of Lingdu was taken over by a young man who looked like a Taoist priest." Mu Liang was curious who this young Taoist priest was, and how he could get rid of this notoriety by himself. Outside, an inhuman den of 500 bandits was taken away.

Speaking of Taoist priests, Mu Liang also knew the aptitude and strength of the descendants of various sects.He himself is already regarded as the outstanding young man at the moment, despite his own strength, he has no confidence to take over this miserable den of bandits.

Chitong inspected the surroundings. Just now he specifically asked the villagers if there was a snake demon nearby. The villagers looked blank and said that they had never seen any snake demon.But listening to their description, this young Taoist priest is somewhat similar to Nan Ming.Chitong was thinking, so should Nanming kill the snake demon first, or kill the bandit Lingdu first?

It stands to reason that after the death of the snake demon, Ling Du can take advantage of the emptiness and enter the body of the snake demon to dominate and control it.Presumably, the zero-duty killing was too deep, and the evil spirit was so heavy that he couldn't die, so he could only wander in the world as a lonely ghost. After wandering for a while, he happened to meet the snake demon who was about to die.

Chitong searched with spiritual power, but did not find Nanming's water blade, and there was no trace of Nanming's breath in the mountain, and it seemed to have dissipated after a long time.

Although Kong Qing hadn't seen Nan Ming for a long time, Nan Ming already looked like a teenager when he left.It hasn't been a few years now, and Nan Ming is originally a demon, so his appearance will not change much.He also thought it was Nan Ming after hearing the villager's description just now, so he asked, "Chitong, do you feel Nan Ming's breath?"

"No. Most likely, it's probably him." Chi Tong said.

Mu Liang twitched the corners of his mouth, looking at the black soil in front of him speechlessly.He has heard the name Nan Ming several times. The last time he was killing the snake monster, and this time he was killing the bandit again. He has a long-lasting and powerful water blade, so he is undoubtedly a monster.It is said that he is a monster, dressed up as a Taoist priest, and even rushed to work.He is either too idle, too boring, or a strange monster who hates sin and evil.

Xiao Yang didn't know who Nan Ming was, he was learning the most basic spells, and he admired this lair that could host 500 barbaric and evil bandits on his own, and he was looking forward to seeing him When I saw this talented Taoist senior.

Mu Liang coughed to hide her speechlessness, looked around and said, "This is where Ling Du's body and death must be, let's search separately."

The sneaky Lingdu, who was originally in Mu Liang's pocket, suddenly felt a violent restlessness, and rolled out by himself.Mu Liang looked cold, grabbed the restless black pearl, and said in a deep voice: "You better be honest, or I will wipe you out!"

The black bead that was suppressing Sneaky Lingdu stopped moving in an instant, only Mu Liang who was holding him could feel that he seemed to tremble with a little fear.Mu Liang took a look at Chitong, he just felt Chitong's cold glance at the black bead in his hand, it seemed to be full of hostility.

A mountain was completely burned, and many people died among them, but Kong Qing couldn't feel any resentment, he looked at the black bead in Mu Liang's hand, and thought, "It must be this Lingdu, who will dispel resentment and evil spirit after death." They have all inhaled into this part of him, otherwise why would he have such a heavy resentment, and the evil spirit is also very strong."

"Then let's search separately." Kong Qing went to the left, and Chi Tong was with him.

Mu Liang brought Xiao Huan and Zhizi together.Zhizi likes to stay with Xiao Huan, and now they have only been together for a long time, and they still have a lot of novelty, so they always have to stay with Xiao Huan at this time.It's like a child has found his long-lost good friend and wants to play with him all the time.

Here the black forest scorched the earth, and he didn't feel anything strange from far or near, so Kong Qing just let him go.Zhizi was able to find a good friend in his teenage years, Kong Qing was very pleased.Although Zhizi is still shy of crowds, he gets along much better with individual people.He won't be trembling, and he talks a lot more, which is a good sign, so Kong Qing doesn't intend to restrain his instinct.

Kong Qing searched for a while, feeling a little weird, and suddenly realized: "You said that four to five hundred people were all killed, but there is no charred corpse around, not even a piece of charred carrion, is this abnormal? "

Chitong nodded: "It's not too late to wake up."

"Uh, you've discovered it a long time ago!" Kong Qing looked at Chitong dissatisfied, why didn't he say it earlier if he discovered it earlier.It hurts him to pick and choose the scorched earth and the broken branches and leaves, which is really embarrassing.

"Nanming belongs to the water element, not the fire element, but this forest was completely burned by a big fire. According to Nanming's consistent character, he could not use fire to burn it. Among the four to five hundred people, there may be some people who are just pretending to be counted. It is also impossible to kill them all without asking a question. So after Nan Ming killed Ling Du, there should be some people who went to this bandit den." Chi Tong said.

"Nan Ming didn't set the fire, and the corpse has already been disposed of? Who else came here besides Nan Ming?" Kong Qing asked.

"Look!" Chitong spread out the red wooden sign he picked up just now for Kong Qing to see, and Kong Qing took a closer look, it looked familiar, and after thinking for a while, he said, "This seems to be the flag hanging on the city wall of Mingzhou. mark of the mark."

"Yes, this red token is the token of the government soldiers in Mingzhou City." Chi Tong said.

"They made a oriole behind?" Kong Qing asked.

"It's not appropriate for the oriole to follow, but it's about the same. They came after Nanming left. They killed people and set fire to the mountain without leaving any traces. It can be seen that they have a deep grudge with this bandit Lingdu." red pupil.

"But we have never heard of the saying that the officers and soldiers in the city strangled the bandit. If we want to talk about it, although they are the end, we can also say that they killed the notorious bandit. I don't know the truth. The common people worship and respect them, wouldn't it be better, but why haven't we heard any rumors?" Kong Qing asked puzzled.

Chi Tong smiled slightly: "It may be the officers and soldiers led by an arrogant officer, who does not want to steal other people's credit and limelight, so there is no sound."

Kong Qing thought about it, although there are few such people, it doesn't mean that there are absolutely no such people.He stopped worrying about this question and looked around: "Then where are we going to find Ling Du's body?"

"The black bead that suppressed Ling Du is so restless, there must be a reason, and it must be not far away." Chitong said.

"You said that the person who finished it was so clean, could his body have been burned to ashes?" Kong Qing asked as he walked forward.

"If it really burns to ashes, not only will this trip be a waste of work, but it will also be hopeless." Chi Tong's eyes shot around quickly, and he seemed to sense a strange feeling.

Kong Qing pursed his lips, looking very helpless, but his eyes still looked around, and he didn't seem to give up at all.Suddenly Chitong grabbed him who was about to go forward, he staggered and almost fell into Chitong's arms, he asked inexplicably: "What's wrong?"

"There is an enchantment in front." Chi Tong looked at her eyes and said.

Kong Qing was shocked, this place has been burnt to such a degree, it is quite powerful that this enchantment can still exist.

Chitong flicked his sleeves, and the barrier was impacted by his spiritual power, revealing its original shape.

Mu Liang just searched around and found something was wrong, and followed the place where Chi Tong and Kong Qing left.Seeing this scene before approaching, Mu Liang lowered his eyes calmly, being crushed by absolute strength, it was really speechless.

He approached quickly, wanting to see clearly what was inside the enchantment.Mu Liang held down the restless black bead, if correct, this should be the sneaky Lingdu's corpse.

Mu Liang took a closer look, and the burly, pale body with one eye missing that hung in the center of the barrier was Ling Du's corpse. "Why seal his body in the barrier?"

Kong Qing also looked at Chi Tong, who approached Ling Du's body.Through Ling Du's body, he saw something strange in Ling Du's heart.

Mu Liang stepped closer, and as soon as he stepped into the barrier, he suddenly felt that there was a formation under the barrier.Mu Liang took a step back and looked at it carefully. This is indeed their Taoist formation, and it is a formation to suppress some kind of evil spirit.Mu Liang felt strange: "There are already barriers here, why do we need a formation?"

Seeing what Chi Tong pulled out from Ling Du's body, Mu Liang understood.It turned out that the person who set up the barrier was to save Ling Du, who was deeply evil.

Kong Qing looked at the yellow flag in Chitong's hand, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up: "Nan Ming has learned a lot in the past few years since he left, but this Taoist stuff is really good at using it."

Taoism has a lot of magic tools, just this banner is divided into gold and copper banners, paper banners, board banners, jade banners and silk banners according to the material.According to the color, it is divided into five colors: yellow, blue, red, white and black, and different colors have different functions.

What Chitong held was a yellow paper banner with spells drawn on it. It looked plain, but it contained power.After he took out the yellow paper flag, the restless black bead finally escaped from Mu Liang's hands, and flew automatically on Ling Du's body, hitting the body back and forth, as if it was about to break the black bead and return to his own body. inside the body.

Seeing that the black beads were really an eyesore, Chi Tong split the black beads with one palm.The black bead shattered, and the evil Lingdu who was suppressed in it got out in an instant, a condensate of black energy wanted to get into his body, but Mu Liang blocked his way.He was afraid of the compass on Mu Liang, and wanted to attack the weak Kong Qing instead.

Chitong snorted coldly: "Overthinking one's abilities!" and shielded Kong Qing behind her.

Seeing this, Ling Du became frightened, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhizi and Xiao Huan not far away.He couldn't feel the threat from the two little babies. At this time, the two people he was afraid of were protecting what they wanted to protect. They must have been unable to protect the two little babies. Attack violently.
