Chapter 52: The Ten Demons That Block the Road (Please vote and read on)
"Ouch~~"
Baizhu was extremely alert and gave the warning immediately.
Qiu Zhen has a strong spiritual awareness and is also very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared.
The moment the "sound of breaking air" was heard, he instinctively leaped sideways.
The figure jumped away suddenly.
"Pfft~"
Three arrows hit the ground and penetrated deeply.
"There are people in the cave shooting arrows and attacking by surprise."
Qiu Zhen subconsciously looked up in the direction of the cave.
Upon seeing this, Qiu Zhen was slightly surprised.
The reason was simple: he knew the person who was shooting arrows in the cave. He was a member of the Qiujia Village.
"Brother Shitou, Uncle Tiemu, it's me who's back, not someone else, stop shooting arrows randomly!"
Qiu Zhen shouted and waved frantically to identify himself.
However, what was shocking was that the people of Qiujia Village in the cave pretended not to hear Qiu Zhen's voice, with numb and cold expressions on their faces. Without saying a word, they drew their bows and arrows.
"Swish swish~"
This time, the arrows were more dense, with more than ten arrows shot out in a row.
When Qiu Zhen saw this, his scalp went numb.
broken!
The people of Qiu Village were bewitched by evil spirits and lost their minds.
Qiu Zhen understood what had happened at once, and without saying a word, he unleashed his [Xunfeng Fairy Deer Tendon] and moved as fast as a dragon, dodging the rain of arrows.
The sound of breaking air only stopped when we were far away from the cave.
The Qiu family had no intention of chasing them out of the cave.
"Whoo~"
Qiu Zhen and Bai Zhu were leaning against a huge rock, and both the man and the fox looked a little embarrassed.
If it was an ordinary enemy, Qiu Zhen would have drawn the bow and arrow from his back and fought back.
With his archery skills, he could turn the situation around in just a few rounds of shooting, suppress the archers at the entrance of the cave, and shoot them so hard that they dared not show their heads.
However, the problem was that the Qiu family members in the cave had apparently been bewitched by some evil spirits and had lost their minds and did not recognize him at all.
He couldn't fight back and could only avoid the attack temporarily.
“It’s a bit of a tricky situation.”
Qiu Zhen frowned, thinking to himself that there was trouble.
As an immortal cultivator, he was not afraid of fighting with demons and evil spirits, but now the demons and evil spirits controlled the Qiu family, and he was afraid to act rashly, so the fight would be difficult.
After all, it was not easy for him to attack the Qiu family.
However, if one wants to deal with the demons and evil spirits in the cave, one cannot avoid the Qiu family members in the cave.
At first glance, there is basically no solution.
"There is no magic that cannot be solved. There must be a way to break the situation."
Qiu Zhen shook his head, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and became extremely calm.
He had just entered the world of cultivation and had limited vision and experience in fighting. It was normal for him to be at a loss and have no idea how to break the impasse when he suddenly encountered this situation.
Fortunately, he is not alone.
It is a good habit to ask for help in time if you cannot solve the problem by yourself.
With this thought in mind, Qiu Zhen stepped back again, found a safe place, and took out the [Miro Palace] jade talisman token from his arms.
"Fairy Yunrou, Master Zhenkong, I have an urgent matter to ask you for advice. Please reply as soon as you hear from me. Urgent!"
Qiu Zhen sent three telepathic messages in succession.
Fortunately, I just contacted the two of them today, and they were not in seclusion for cultivation or anything. Soon, two telepathic messages came from the [Miro Palace].
"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, what happened?"
"Buddha has mercy on me, fellow Taoist Qingwei, why are you so anxious?"
When Qiu Zhen saw the two people's replies, he felt a little relieved and immediately told them everything about his situation.
Of course, he did not go into detail about the people of Qiu Village. He only said that he encountered a village that was hit by a demonic disaster, and he described it in all the right details.
After hearing Qiu Zhen's description, the two Taoist friends in Miro Palace were silent for a moment. Soon, Fairy Yunrou's spiritual consciousness came over.
"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, based on your description, if I am not mistaken, you must have encountered a demon."
Yin demon?
Qiu Zhen was slightly stunned, but soon understood what Fairy Yun Rou meant.
In Taoism, there is a saying that there are ten demons blocking the way.
The Taoist scriptures say that there are ten kinds of demons: one is the heavenly demon, two is the earthly demon, three is the human demon, four is the ghost demon, five is the god demon, six is the yang demon, seven is the yin demon, eight is the disease demon, nine is the monster demon and ten is the environment demon.
These ten kinds of demons are attracted by cultivators who have distracting thoughts and impure practice during their practice.
For those who are practicing, it is also called the devil's test.
These ten kinds of demons are the inevitable trials and tests in the process of cultivation.
For example, when Qiu Zhen was practicing the supreme magic of the mysterious gold and silk, on the 100-day foundation-building day, he attracted the monster Bai Shu, which was considered as encountering the "demon test" among the ten demons.
However, Bai Zhu was very sensible. He did not become an enemy of Qiu Zhen. Instead, he offered treasures to him and surrendered to him. The devil's test disappeared invisibly.
And now, he has encountered the "Yin Demon" again.
Qiu Zhen seemed to be thinking about something and asked:
"Fairy Yunrou, Yin Demons are monsters created by the distracting thoughts of cultivators. Why would Yin Demons appear in a rural village when there are no cultivators in the village?"
"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, you really don't interact with the immortal cultivation world on weekdays, and you practice hard in silence."
Fairy Yunrou didn't know whether to laugh or cry:
"You are talking about the ancient world of immortal cultivation. The Ten Demons were merely a test for cultivators. But now, the demons have the ability to show themselves in the world. When cultivators encounter a demon test, it often indicates that a demon disaster is about to be born."
As she spoke, Fairy Yunrou sighed faintly:
"Otherwise, why do people in the world call us cultivators demons and evil spirits, and why do the Demon Suppression Bureau want to kill us? This is the reason!"
That's it!
Qiu Zhen suddenly realized something. He had just entered the cultivation world for two months and only knew that cultivators were regarded as "demons and evil spirits" by the world. He did not know much about the specific reasons, but he only knew that cultivators were likely to turn into demons and evil spirits after death.
I never expected that during the practice, I would also attract demons.
If this is the case, then it is absolutely correct for the world to call "immortal cultivators" demons and evil spirits.
Qiu Zhen was surprised, but the situation was urgent, so he did not ask too many questions, but continued to ask:
"Fairy Yunrou, how can we deal with this demon? How can we break the impasse?"
"I'm afraid someone in that village encountered the Yin Demon Qi by chance, was contaminated with the devil's nature, brought it back to the village, and accidentally gave birth to a Yin Demon."
Fairy Yunrou said this with a somewhat helpless tone:
"From what you described, the situation is very bad. The villagers have fallen into an illusion and turned into demon servants. They can't tell good from evil. I don't have a good way to have both."
"This"
Qiu Zhen felt a little disappointed when he heard this.
Just as he was about to say something, the monk Zhenkong, who had been silent all this time, sent a telepathic message.
"Buddha has mercy on me, fellow Taoist Qingwei, I have a way, but..."
Qiu Zhen immediately became interested:
"Fellow Daoist Zhenkong, you can say whatever you want."
Monk Zhenkong said calmly:
"The solution to break the impasse is very simple. You sit outside the cave and practice cultivation. The demon will definitely come looking for you. Then you can fight him."
Qiu Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this.
However, before he could open his mouth to praise, he heard the excited voice of Fairy Yun Rou.
"Monk, what kind of bullshit idea did you come up with? Do you want to kill fellow Taoist Qingwei?"
"My Buddha is compassionate!"
Monk Zhenkong felt a little embarrassed:
"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, I am just saying this casually. We are mortals, not Buddhas or immortals, so it is not appropriate to cut our flesh and feed it to the eagle. If you want to do this, you must have a heavenly foundation-building item to build your foundation, so that you can resist the invasion of the manifested Yin Demon."
"Not bad!"
Fairy Yunrou agreed, then she remembered something and asked with interest:
"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, I would like to ask you, what kind of foundation-building artifact did you use to build your foundation?"
"This"
Qiu Zhen was a little confused.
What is the foundation-building artifact?
