Where the wind chimes sound, there is a god

Chapter 21 Return
Yuan Ze looked at the cave of blood and energy and couldn't help but spit out his snake tongue from his mouth. He stared at the woman and girl in the cave with burning eyes.

"Then...what should they do?"

Chen Beimo was also a little unsure. These women were so injured and so weak that they could hardly walk, let alone climb out of the mountains.

But staying here is even worse. Since it is a sect, there must be ways to communicate with each other. If I live here, I am afraid that I will be killed by the cult next time.

"Follow you to Lingze Lake."

“Ah?… Huh…

But...I want to...eat her..."

Yuan Ze couldn't help but say.

Human blood is a rare and precious medicine for demon cultivators. All living things have natural enemies, and they are all in a relationship of eating and being eaten. When demons absorb the essence of human blood, it will not cause any karma in heaven and earth, but will become a bad obstacle in the human world and be killed by the human race.

Chen Beimo pondered and said, "Can you tell the difference between good and evil people?"

Yuan Ze shook his head, "There is... a black... red light on their heads..."

"That's right. People's spirits are guided by destiny. Those who show blue clouds are noble, those who show golden and dark yellow are good and virtuous. Those who show white and light red are ordinary people."

Chen Beimo explained: "There are two other types. One is surrounded by purple energy, and you must never provoke this kind of person.

If there is blood-red penetrating the top of the head and then turning black, that is the karma of killing. You can kill such people with thundering means.

Remember? "

"Oh... remember, remember." Yuan Ze nodded reluctantly, still staring at the women.

Chen Beimo looked at the women, pointed at one who looked mentally normal, and asked, "What's your name?"

The woman who was pointed out showed panic on her face for a moment, but soon realized that there were no demons here anymore. She replied, "My surname is Chen, my name is Han Rui. I am from Guangping County, Feng Country."

"If you want to live, you must obey my orders from now on, and I will ensure that you will live a worry-free and peaceful life.

If anyone wants to find a way out on their own, I will not stop you. Just go ahead.

After one stick of incense, those who are willing to follow this snake official will come out of the cave. Those who are not willing can stay in the cave.

"

After saying that, he turned around and left the cave without saying anything more. He came outside the cave and waited quietly with his hands behind his back.

The golden bell in his hand rang inexplicably, and a dark grey cloud of light rose from this former hell on earth and was absorbed by the golden bell.

After a while, the golden bell rang loudly, and the sound made Yuan Ze and Bei Chenjun nearby dizzy and they fell to the ground, unable to get up.

At the same time, a Dharma word also entered Chen Beimo's mind.

"Natural disasters are merciless, and man-made disasters are invisible. Great strife and chaos in the world, the mortal world is murderous. We should establish the way of the world and rectify the universe.

The chaos of the mortal world is soul-destroying and spirit-destroying!"

This is another magical power that has been born. It turns out that it can not only devour ancient objects, but also bring out magical powers from the mortal world.

This magical power is a technique of killing, specifically used to deal with such evil criminals in the world in order to restore order and uphold the laws of nature and human ethics.

From this it seems that this magic weapon is most likely a righteous Shinto weapon, not some evil weapon, so I can feel more at ease when using it.

Yuan Ze got up from the ground with a weak look on his face, looked at Jin Ling with some fear, and said, "So...so scary."

Seeing her like this, Chen Beimo smiled and said, "If you don't listen to my teachings and indiscriminately kill and devour the human race, you will be destroyed by it and reduced to ashes! Remember this!"

"Ah..., yes, yes. I'll remember it."

Yuan Ze turned his face away with some fear, not daring to look at Jin Ling again.

At this time, the women in the cave also supported each other and stumbled out. There were fourteen people in total, ten adult women and four short and thin little girls, and no one was left behind.

Chen Hanrui walked in front. Even though the young man in front of her looked younger than her, she still bowed and said, "Thank you, Serpent Officer, for saving my life. We are willing to follow you!"

The other women have already woken up from their dazed state, with fear but also a bit of anticipation on their faces.

As for being afraid, they were naturally afraid. After all, the people in front of them were most likely monsters, but they were saved by monsters, and compared to the demons in the cave, monsters were more like humans.

Chen Beimo nodded and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I will take you to find a place to stay. However, it is difficult to find tools in this desolate mountain and wilderness, so you should first pack up a few things and take all the things you can use to survive in this cave with you.

"

After hearing this, they hurriedly turned around and packed up the things in the cave. In this chaotic world, only the lower-class people can truly appreciate the value of every grain of rice. Survival in the wilderness is not that simple, and you still need some tools and knives and axes.

Chen Beimo took advantage of this opportunity to look up at the fairy peach tree on the cliff, then jumped up, circulated the Kanshui true energy under his feet, stepped into the air and used the force as if flying. He stepped over the stone wall in two or three steps, picked four unripe peaches from the tree, then stepped on the stones to unload the force and returned to a distance. His movements were smooth and flowing.

Chen Hanrui was stunned. She was once a rich lady and had seen martial arts masters flying over rooftops and walls, but none of them were as smooth as the man in front of her, as if he was walking on flat ground.

When Beichen saw the spiritual peach in his hand, he crawled over, sniffed it, shook his head and walked away. It was obvious that this guy didn't like it and thought it was not as delicious as a little chicken.

Although the peaches were not yet ripe, they were still extraordinary, being precious medicines naturally grown by nature. However, their effects would be weaker if they were picked before they were ripe.

This spiritual peach belongs to Yi wood, and Yi wood is Jia quality, and it receives Jia's vitality. Spring is like peach and plum, and metal restrains it and makes it harmonious; summer is like before harvest, and water nourishes it and makes it grow; autumn is like tung and osmanthus, and metal controls fire, so it is a weak and wet land that is not afraid of the strong metal.

Chen Beimo only understood the conversions between the sexual energy of these ancient objects after he practiced the Kanshui Sutra, and then matched them one by one from the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches and the Five Elements and Nine Palaces. This is the benefit of reading more books.

Yuan Ze's gaze also shifted from the group of women to Taozi, but he did not say anything.

Chen Beimo smiled and said, "Take three for yourself. It will be regarded as your gift of the dragon robe."

"this…"

Yuan Ze's eyes moved slightly. She did not immediately take the peach, but leaned forward and bowed, saying: "Little... demon is willing to follow... you, sir!"

The monster was simple in nature. Yuan Ze chose to bow down without hesitation, without a trace of falsehood in her heart. She did not understand the intrigues of the human world and just did what she was told. This was also the true wisdom of many monsters.

Only a great demon that has practiced for hundreds of years, has a sound intelligence, and has experienced hundreds of years of vicissitudes of life will have all kinds of human thoughts and become a treacherous and cunning old demon in the mountains.

Chen Beimo was stunned. What was he doing? He was not a mountain king, why would he capture a little demon?
But as Yuan Ze bowed, a faint white gas flowed into the golden bell, and a Dharma word floated in his heart.

"Command demons and ghosts to enforce laws, exorcise evil spirits, pacify the people and stabilize the country.

Forge divinity between heaven and earth, and ascend to heaven when your merits are complete.

Capturing spirits and summoning demons, there is no resistance!
When the golden bell sounds, ghosts, demons, beasts and monsters must obey the law!

"

"Is this, the Soul Binding Technique?"

Chen Beimo was shocked. The art of restraining spirits was extraordinary. If he really had this ability, then it would not be as simple as controlling snakes.

"Okay, since you have worshiped me, you have a destiny. But you must remember not to kill any living creatures, and you must follow my good and evil, and not harm mortals lightly."

"Yes! Your lord!"

Yuan Ze bowed again, and when he stood up, he spoke much more clearly. Chen Beimo also felt a connection with her in his mind, and could sense her position and even summon spirits through his spiritual perception.

Yuan Ze realized that his speech had improved a lot, and he couldn't help but say happily: "Sir, it really... really works!"

"What's the efficacy?" Chen Beimo asked curiously.

"I...see that southerner, praying to the gods more and more, praying for miracles. So...I prayed...to pray for the Master's crossbone flower...to be dissolved.

True...true words, smoother, smoother!" Yuan Ze said with an excited smile on his face.

Chen Beimo frowned slightly, realizing that there must be some astrological connection between them.

However, by this time the women in the cave had already finished cleaning up. Everyone was holding packages of varying sizes, most of which were made from the clothes of the dead on the ground.

Chen Beimo knew that they wouldn't stay here for long, so he took them to the shore of Lingze Lake.

When everyone dragged their tired bodies and walked in the dewy night, they arrived at the shore of the lake. The sun appeared in the east, illuminating the face of every disheveled woman. Their cloudy and lifeless eyes were reflected by the warm and hot sunlight, and their souls were cleansed by the indigo water of the lake in front of them, as if they were born in the sun.

Chen Beimo said to them, "From now on, you will live by the Lingze Lake. With the knives and axes in the cave, you can survive. If you are in danger, just shout at the lakeside: Yuling Fazhi, please invite the Snake Official.

Yuan Ze will come out to help, and I will come to see you if I have time."

Chen Hanrui said excitedly: "Thank you, Snake Officer!
But you don't stay here to practice?"

Chen Beimo shook his head and sighed, "The world is full of red dust, and I am still entangled in cause and effect. I cannot cultivate the pure way in the mountains."

After giving them all his instructions, Chen Beimo was finally ready to return!

There were three spiritual peaches left, and he only took one.

It's not that you don't take too much, but Yi wood leap water needs to be replaced by wood and earth. If he eats too much, it will only cause the five elements in the body to be unbalanced, and Kan water will not be compatible. Eating only one will have the best effect.

It was different for Yuan Ze. She lived in Lingze Water for a long time. She was a Renshui monster, and she was familiar with the Yang-Wood Law. Moreover, she consumed human essence and became turbid. She also needed pure wood to remove the turbid and heavy air.

Chen Beimo has gained a lot from this trip. He does not seek perfection in things or complete satisfaction in tasks, just like a boat sailing on water without capsizing.

……

Inside the courtyard of the Yunzhou prefect, a servant hurriedly came under the eaves holding an umbrella and knocked on the wooden door of the study.

"Master, Mr. Qi has sent someone to ask again. Today is the last day. What do you think?"

In the study, the prefect frowned and said, "Wait a little longer. Let Mr. Qi come to see me in person tomorrow morning and we will have a say."

Under the candlelight, Fu Zhiliu's pale face showed some anxiety, and he sighed in his heart, it seems that he can't find it, this is God's will.

The treasure of the Hundred-Year Dragon Robe requires a certain fate and ordinary people cannot obtain it.

He said to himself, "Jia Twelve, have you seen that boy come back?"

A shadow suddenly jumped down from the beam and said respectfully, "Sir, there is no news from the people stationed near Tingyu Pavilion.

I guess that guy probably ran away."

"Oh, it's better for him to run away." Fu Zhiliu shook his head and sighed, "If he doesn't have some ability, the mansion will only be a disaster. It's better for him to leave and find a place to live a stable life. Back off."

"Yes, my lord!"

Jia Twelve jumped up and climbed onto the beam again. He was hidden on the tall beam in his black clothes, as if there was no such person in the house.

Fu Zhiliu finished his official business and turned off the lights until midnight. As a prefect, he was quite hardworking and did not have several concubines. He only had one wife but he seldom slept with her.

He lay on the bed, thinking about tomorrow's government affairs, and fell asleep unknowingly.

It was not until the beginning of the next day at the beginning of the morning hour, which was around half past one, that I got up when it was just dawn.

In the huge mansion, many maids, old women and servants were already busy with their work with lamps in hand. Fu Zhiliu opened his eyes to wake himself up, pressed his temples to relax for a while, and then prepared to change clothes and get up.

He got off the bed, and the night watchman outside the door heard the noise and asked respectfully, "Master, are you awake?"

"come in."

He called out, and the servant came in and lit the twelve lamps in the room. The bright candlelight illuminated the entire room like day, and a faint candle fragrance filled the room.

Just this candlelight would cost dozens of taels of silver a year for the entire prefectural mansion. There were dozens of lamp holders and niches in the corridors and pavilions, all of which were the result of the hard work of ordinary people.

But being in such an officialdom, he could only go along with the corrupt officials to climb up. However, unlike other colleagues, he had not forgotten his original intention.

He came to the table in the hall and wanted to drink a cup of tea to wake himself up, but then he found a large sandalwood square box on the table. Fu Zhiliu's face changed and he shouted, "Get out!"

The maids who were about to serve him in the room did not dare to say a word, and quickly retreated and closed the door.

Fu Zhiliu opened the square box with a grim expression, and saw a folded thin leather bag in the box, like a snake's skin, and even had a faint fragrance. Looking closely, each piece looked like scales, which was extremely precious.

There was also a piece of rice paper in the box, which was exactly the same as the rice paper he asked Chen Beimo to pick up in the study that evening.

He hurriedly opened the paper and saw a passage written on it in smooth ink.

"Last night, your quilt fell to the ground. I was afraid you would catch a cold, so I covered it for you myself.

Although people's clothes are rough, they are suitable and comprehensive.

Although the dragon robe is precious, how can I wear it?
Listening to the Rain Pavilion

Seeing the place where the pen was written, cold sweat ran down Fu Zhiliu's forehead, and the clothes on his back were also wet with sweat. He called out, "Jia Shisi."

“I’m here!” A man dressed in black who was different from yesterday jumped down and was shocked when he saw what was on the table: “Impossible!

This is absolutely impossible!

"I didn't sleep a wink last night, so I won't be able to hide any movement. Even a top-notch expert can't sneak into the room quietly!"

Fu Zhiliu gradually calmed down and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it. You can't judge a strange man by the standards of a martial artist. It seems that this kid has real skills. He is even better than his teacher. He is even better than that old man Wang Xian."

Go and withdraw all the spies outside Tingyu Pavilion. There is no need to do this."

"Yes! My lord!" Jia Shisi felt ashamed. Such a thing actually happened right under his nose. If the other party had murderous intentions, the prefect's body would have been cold already.

……

Outside Tingyu Pavilion, a group of more than 20 to 30 servants surrounded the front door early in the morning. A big man banged on the ancient wooden carved door aggressively, shouting, "Whoever's inside, get out now! Our master is here in person."

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

After knocking several times but no one paid attention, Mr. Qi, who was surrounded by servants behind the big man, said coldly: "Break the door open!"

"Yes! Master!"

The two strong men obeyed the order and stepped forward to break down the door frame.

At this moment, two wooden doors suddenly opened from the inside, and a young man walked out. He stretched lazily before opening his eyes and said, "Who is it? You're disturbing my sweet dreams so early in the morning!"

"You kid, open your eyes and see clearly, this is our master, Mr. Qi.

"The evil man shouted angrily.

Chen Beimo looked straight at him and said calmly, "Are you Mr. Qi?"

He glanced through the crowd and looked directly at Mr. Qi. The young man had a jade-like face and black hair, an upright posture, and an aura as calm as the abyss. He even made the two evil servants beside him who wanted to attack him dare not move.

He traveled thousands of miles alone, through deep mountains and valleys, and killed dozens of vicious criminals. He was able to control his aura freely, which was beyond ordinary people. How could these domestic dogs in this peaceful world compare to him?
Mr. Qi was slightly shocked. This boy, who was only sixteen years old, was so magnanimous. He would surely achieve extraordinary things in the future. Since he had offended him, he had to cut the grass and get rid of the roots to prevent future troubles!

"You are the person in charge of Tingyu Pavilion, right?
Let's go inside and discuss it carefully!"

Chen Beimo smiled, turned around, opened his hands, took three steps backwards, and said with a smile: "Tingyu Pavilion is open, all guests come in!"
