Chapter 447: Four Demons Worship Siming

Shao Siming did not pay much attention to the changes in the Nine-Stream Dharma Lineage, but he did not know that the moment the Nine-Stream Dharma Lineage began to offer its fate to her, countless land-based immortal cultivators between heaven and earth all developed some subtle sensations.

At the mouth of the Xiangjiang River in the south, a small boat was drifting downstream. Standing on the bow was a handsome monk wearing a five-Buddha crown, a cassock, and holding a staff.

He suddenly turned around and looked towards the Middle Earth, silently making hand gestures. Suddenly, the disciple who was rowing the boat behind him shouted, "Master, there's someone over there who can fly!"

The monk turned around, glanced at the bamboo forest on the shore, made a calculation with his fingers, and whispered, "This guy is not human. He has his own destination. You don't need to pay attention to him."

As he spoke, the monk seemed to realize something, looked into the distance, and said angrily, "Oh no, that nine-life cat demon must have guessed that we were coming and made a move in advance! You guys hurry up and catch up, I'll go first!"

As he spoke, the monk leaped forward, and golden lotuses sprouted from his feet. He swam down the river and headed straight for a small village at the foot of the Xiang River.

On the other side, the Ghost King Xuanyuan in Kongtong Mountain opened his eyes wide, feeling a change in the breath. He silently used his magic power and asked people to find dozens of people with strange destinies to use blood sacrifice to predict the rise and fall of the breath.

The blood was surging as he looked at the shadows of the half-faced scholar and the bat wizard.

"It turned out to be these two pieces of trash."

As he spoke, his mind changed and he used magic to call back the Half-Faced Scholar.

The Half-Faced Scholar, who had just captured the Bat Wizard, was using his magic power to try to find out the whole story of what had happened from the Bat Wizard's mind.

However, the secret techniques and criminal laws of the Nine Schools are not so easy to crack. Shao Siming also exerted a certain influence during the witnessing process. Even a half-scholar could not see clearly and could not explain the changes.

When the Ghost King Xuanyuan cast a spell and called out, he interrupted the secret technique of the Ban-faced Scholar. He was hit back and spurted blood from his mouth. He glanced at the Bat Wizard who had died completely, his face became grim, and he turned into a bloody light and returned to Kongtong Mountain.

At the same time, in Kunlun Mountain, the Dynasty's Imperial Master's Mansion, Dongyue Temple and other places, cultivators all looked up and calculated silently.

In addition, there were some cultivators who had some connection with the Nine-Stream Dharma Lineage and felt a sense of connection.

Not far from the city where Shao Siming was located, there was a Sanxian Cave, where three spirits were practicing. One was called Jie Qiuheng, one was called Chang Fenglin, and the last one was called Ma Xichi. The fate of the three was connected with the Nine Streams of Dharma. After sensing Shao Siming's aura, they could not help but gather together to discuss.

Jie Qiuheng spoke first: "The three of us have studied literature with the human race for so many years, but we are stuck at the level of a master of refinement and have no chance to meet the Three Caves Immortals. Today, we are interested in meeting an immortal who is staying in the human world. Why don't we go and pay a visit to him?"

Ma Xichi nodded repeatedly: "Brother Jie is right. Although the three of us are spirits, our life span is much longer than that of ordinary people. Over the years, we have also taught those poor scholars the meaning of writing, helped them pass the imperial examinations, shared some of their luck, and improved their cultivation. But this is too slow, and not all scholars know how to be grateful."

Hearing this, Chang Fenglin was also quite helpless: "People's hearts are too unpredictable. Although there are many kind people who keep their promises, there are also many who have taken advantage of us and then continued to belittle us after becoming famous, just to distance themselves from us."

"This is because we have a good relationship with the Jiuliu lineage and have entered the Jiuliu lineage. Many righteous cultivators do not think that we are the result of evil spirits. If it were not for this relationship, I don't know how many sorcerers would be instigated by those bastards and come to cause trouble for us."

After saying that, Chang Fenglin sighed again.

Jie Qiuheng said hurriedly: "But now there is an immortal family settled in the Jiuliu lineage, and I think they are short of manpower. It is the right time for us to go there now. If we can get some guidance from them and achieve the realm of a three-hole immortal, we can live freely in the world for another three hundred years."

Chang Fenglin and Ma Xichi were already somewhat tempted. They had only complained a few words before, and now that Jie Qiuheng spoke again, they naturally nodded and headed towards the human world with the breeze.

On the way, the three of them encountered some strange light.

Ma Xichi stretched out his hand and sniffed: "It smells like a fox. There is a vixen nearby. Brothers, be careful."

Chang Fenglin and Jie Qiuheng stopped walking when they heard that. Among the three, Ma Xichi was the best at gathering energy from the moon. He was able to add some extra energy to the Three Immortals Cave even when the earth veins were blocked. Even the Three Caves True Man of the Nine Streams admired his ability to distinguish energy and his skills in gathering energy. Naturally, the two practitioners at the same level would not doubt his sense of smell.

However, before the two of them could defend themselves, they heard a delicate sound.

"My fellow Taoist has a very sensitive nose. Where are you practicing? Where are you planning to go?"

A woman walked out of the darkness. She had a seductive face but a pure aura. She was actually a fox demon who practiced the Taoist magic.

It's a pity that there is still a trace of evil spirit in this fox demon's body that has not dissipated, and its pure aura is slightly mixed. Otherwise, it cannot be called a fox demon, but should be respectfully called a fox fairy.

Ma Xichi saw the other party's origin and felt relieved.

Chang Fenglin stepped forward and said, "My three brothers are cultivators from the Three Immortal Caves in Jinling. Our methods are inherited from the Nine Streams. Today, we sensed that an immortal had settled in the Nine Streams. We were very happy and sensed that they were near Jinling, so we wanted to go and pay our respects to them."

The fox demon was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly returned the greeting, saying, "So the three Taoist brothers are also descendants of the Nine Flows. My father's surname is Xin, and I am the fourteenth child in the family. You can call me Xin Fourteenth Lady. I am also a descendant of the Nine Flows. Today, I sensed that an immortal had settled in the Nine Flows, and I wanted to go and pay a visit. It is really fate that I met the three Taoist brothers now."

As she spoke, Xin Shisinian pinched her fingers and brought out a flash of spiritual light, which was exactly her identity as the inheritor of the Nine-Stream Dharma Lineage.

Seeing this, Jie Qiuheng, Chang Fenglin and Ma Xichi also pinched their fingers to draw out the spiritual light, and then Jie Qiuheng laughed: "So it's the daughter of Master Xin. Speaking of which, your father was successful in cultivation in the early years, and accumulated a lot of external skills and natural treasures, trying to break through the realm of three-hole immortals. I wonder how he is doing now?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Shisinian's face immediately showed a look of misery, and she whispered, "To be honest with you, my three brothers, I was eager for quick success in my early years of cultivation, and I misread the secret text, which damaged my foundation. Although I found natural treasures to fill the gap, and accumulated external skills to refine it, I was unable to completely improve my foundation. When I was condensing my immortal robe and Dharma body, I was attacked by the secret text and turned into a fox ghost. I have died."

When the word death was mentioned, Xin Shisinian's face became even more miserable, while Jie Qiuheng, Chang Fenglin and Ma Xichi also showed some distress.

"For demons and spirits like us, it is much more difficult to become immortals than for mortals. It is said that when the inheritance of Yuhua Zhenjun was still in existence, demons and spirits like us still had a way to reach the heavens, which was much better than learning the method of becoming immortals like humans now. Unfortunately, with the great changes in the world back then, the inheritance of Yuhua Zhenjun can no longer be found."

After saying this, Ma Xichi looked towards Xiangjiang and said, "Now when we practice cultivation, we have to be careful of the beast nature hidden in our blood and fear the turbid air remaining in the earth veins. If we completely give up the immortal path like the nine-life cat demon in Xiangjiang, specialize in turbid air, and devour human blood to practice cultivation, it would be a way out. Unfortunately, this action is likely to be punished by heaven. I heard that Master Fahai of Jinshan Temple has gone to Xiangjiang and intends to subdue it."

Upon hearing this, Xin Shisinian said, "Doesn't the cat demon have a chance to correct himself? I heard that the tree demon grandma in Black Mountain turned over a new leaf."

Chang Fenglin shook his head repeatedly: "This is different. The Black Mountain Tree Demon is the Black Mountain God. She devours flesh and blood, but protects an area. She can be regarded as enjoying blood food. Although it is not the right way, she has not fallen into the evil way too much. In addition, I heard that she was also enlightened by the Buddhist treasure of a certain senior master, and with the help of an immortal, she was able to set things right." Jie Qiuheng continued: "In comparison, the nine-life cat demon in Xiangjiang has been feeding on human blood since the beginning of her practice. Each of her nine lives is accumulated by thousands of human lives. How can the righteous way accommodate her? In comparison, for demons and monsters like us, the best path should be the lineage of the guardian immortal, but there are too many restrictions, otherwise it is a way out."

Upon hearing this, Xin Shisinian thought for a long time before she said, "I heard that in Qingcheng Mountain, there is a White Snake Lady who has practiced for a thousand years. Her method of practice is ancient. A hundred years ago, she had already touched the threshold of the realm of earthly immortals. Now, she may have become an immortal."

"Is this true?"

Jie Qiuheng, Chang Fenglin and Ma Xichi all showed surprised expressions, but before they could ask in detail, they suddenly felt an idea emerging not far away. The four of them looked at the same time and saw a little white fox standing not far away.

Seeing the four people coming, the little white fox turned in circles on the spot, a ray of golden light emerged, and it turned into a woman in white.

"Greetings to the four seniors. My name is Xiaoqian, and it was Lady Shao Siming who ordered me to come and greet you four."

After hearing Xiaoqian's words, Jie Qiuheng, Chang Fenglin, Ma Xichi and Xin Shisiniang were all unable to react.

Among them, Jie Qiuheng, Chang Fenglin and Ma Xichi were surprised at the purity of Xiaoqian's aura. She was actually a very pure spirit, without any impurities or foul air.

This characteristic means that if she can maintain it, even if her cultivation is far lower than that of the three of them and Xin Shisinian, she can still call herself a fox fairy rather than a fox demon.

In contrast, Xin Shisi Niang, who prefers miscellaneous books about the human world, focuses on the title of Shao Siming Niangniang.

Xin Shisinian looked at Xiaoqian and asked, "Is the Shao Siming Niangniang you mentioned the Shao Siming Niangniang from the Nine Songs Gods of Chu?"

"I don't know about this, but when we were in Black Mountain, my grandmother always called the Young Lady Siming "sister" and asked us to call her the Young Lady Siming as well."

Xiaoqian spoke again and told the four people a piece of news that shocked them.

"You are from Montenegro?"

"That's right. You don't have to be too surprised. Before the Lady Siming came, grandma cleaned up the mixed aura in the Black Mountain and allowed many unrepentant elves to return to heaven and earth. We were obedient and willing to practice hard, so we stayed. When the Lady Siming came, she helped us sort out our energy and gave us bamboo leaves to ensure that our aura was pure, so that we could accumulate virtue and do good deeds in the world and practice slowly. We are all good elves."

Xiao Qian said this, pointing to her forehead. A faint spiritual light emerged, and a purple bamboo leaf floated in it.

The immortal aura contained in the bamboo leaves made Jie Qiuheng, Chang Fenglin, Ma Xichi and Xin Shisinian all clearly feel Shao Siming's power, and they also knew clearly that the other party was the immortal they were going to meet.

They all put aside their attitude, bowed to Xiaoqian, and asked her to take them to see Shao Siming.

Xiao Qian was very happy with the attitude of the four people. She changed back into the appearance of a white fox, stood up and said, "I will use the underground escape technique to fly fifty miles in that direction. If you can't keep up, I will wait for you under a peach tree."

As it spoke, the little white fox swung its tail and disappeared in a streak of yellow light.

Jie Qiuheng, Chang Fenglin and Ma Xichi were originally thinking about what magical powers Xiaoqian could have that would make the four of them unable to keep up.

But when Xiaoqian really took action, the three were surprised to find that the other party was using the purple bamboo leaves to cast a spell. She escaped at an extremely fast speed, and with a flash of yellow light, Xiaoqian disappeared from their perception.

In contrast, Xin Shisinian was well prepared. The moment the yellow light rose, she turned into a wisp of white smoke and chased after it.

At the same time, Xin Shisinian also left a little breath to make it convenient for Jie Qiuheng, Chang Fenglin and Ma Xichi to follow.

When the four of them saw Xiaoqian again, she jumped down from the peach tree in surprise and said with some admiration: "You are amazing. Since the queen taught me the method of escaping underground, you are the only people I have met who can catch up so quickly."

Then, Xiao Qian pointed in another direction and said, "I will go a hundred miles away in a moment, remember to follow me."

Just as he finished speaking, another yellow light rose up, and the four people hurriedly followed it.

After running for a while, Xin Shisiniang and the other three finally arrived at a courtyard under the guidance of Xiaoqian.

This courtyard was located in an alley. The worldly energy flowing outside the door made the four people feel quite uncomfortable. But once they entered the door, they immediately felt the flow of vitality and inspiration, which made Jie Qiuheng, Chang Fenglin and Ma Xichi couldn't help but breathe in continuously.

Although Xin Shisinian wanted to be reserved, she couldn't help but breathe deeply after the first breath of vital energy entered her body.

Along with the flushing of vital energy, some turbid air in the bodies of the three people was also expelled.

After a long while, the three people who had recovered finally looked at Shao Siming who was sitting in the main seat and kowtowed to him.

"The nine types of demons and monsters, Jie Qiuheng (Chang Fenglin, Ma Xichi, Xin Shisi Niang), pay their respects to the Lady Shao Siming."

"Get up."

Shao Siming waved the purple bamboo branch, the sound of the tide surged, the vital energy stirred, and while lifting the four people up, it further cleansed the remaining breath in their bodies.

Xin Shisinian and Ma Xichi took this opportunity to expel the last bit of turbid air in their bodies and transform their magic power into pure energy. They could be called demon fairies, and Jie Qiuheng and Chang Fenglin were quite envious.

Xin Shisiniang and Ma Xichi bowed again and expressed their gratitude to Shao Siming.

"Your achievements are the result of your hard work. Please sit down and tell me why you are here."
