Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 117 Destiny to meet thousands of miles

Qiu Chuji traveled alone, neither entered the city nor sought to communicate with others in this world. Apart from hunting monsters and seizing inner elixirs, he constantly practiced the "First Sound of Flying in the Desire Realm" taught by Chang Yin.

Many of the methods in this spell are difficult to use in the world where Qiu Chuji originally lived.

But in this world, it can exert great power. The sentence "Bindle the evil spirit and slash the six ghosts" contains the method of slaying demons. There is also a small trick called "demon imprisonment spell" that can bind the demons and monsters that have lost their resistance into the usual weapons or the clothes you wear, in order to enhance the power of the weapons or the defense of the clothes.

When Qiu Chuji encountered a monster with an inner elixir, he would kill it and take the elixir. When he encountered ghosts that harmed people, he would use the "demon-imprisoning spell" to temporarily seal them in the long mace on his back.

After Qiu Chuji stayed in this world for more than seven days, the long mace on his back had changed from its original bronze color to a bronze-like color. The mace body was mottled, as if it had been washed away by time, but its weight was constantly increasing. It was probably over 200 kilograms at this time.

However, this long mace is made of ordinary material after all. Although it is stronger than ordinary steel, it is not a real mysterious treasure, and its bearing capacity is gradually approaching its upper limit.

Qiu Chuji thought of looking for some high-quality ores in this world, and when Su Tianxin came to the small world again, he would ask her for help in recasting the long mace.

As for Su Tianxin, who came from the TV version of A Chinese Ghost Story, she was also one of the Taoist friends who had visited the small world. He just had a superficial friendship with Qiu Chuji. After they exchanged a method of exorcising the inner demons, they said goodbye and left.

When Qiu Chuji talked with her, he learned that she had been studying the art of casting, which might be one of her attempts to solve the troubles of the seven generations of resentful couple from the root.

Qiu Chuji crossed mountains and walked through forests all the way south and soon arrived at the land of Fujian. Here, the ghosts and monsters he encountered gradually became difficult to deal with.

This is because there are many lewd temples and wild gods in this place. Most of these gods have no specific origins. They receive incense but are empty shells. Over time, they are occupied by mountain spirits and wild monsters, who steal the altars and eat human offerings.

Some mountain spirits and monsters who have good intentions in their hearts, after stealing the throne, will really protect an area, and when their merits are complete, they may eventually be promoted to the right path.

But most of the time, they use this position to make things difficult for the people and cause harm to the people.

Unfortunately, they are protected by incense, so if ordinary means are used to deal with them, the effect will be greatly weakened.

Nowadays, humanity is in chaos, ghosts and gods are on their own, and wild monsters in the mountains are even more unscrupulous in occupying the throne of gods. The land of Fujian is almost in a state of 'battle of gods'.

The evil god manipulated the people and even supported warlords, who would go to war with each other for money, population, and the incense of the gods they worshipped.

At this time, if Qiu Chuji ran into the mountains and forests again, he would gain little.

Because this place has become a popular place for monsters, they all eat offerings and act like "gods" in the city.

After killing a donkey demon whose altar had been broken and which had once again fallen into the status of a mountain spirit or wild monster, Qiu Chuji had not opened his business for three consecutive days.

Despite this, he had no plans to leave the land of Fujian, but instead planned to enter the city.

It’s because the quality of the demon pills here is so good!
After being washed by incense, the demon pills not only had no fishy smell, but also exuded the scent of sandalwood. The two pills that Qiu Chuji obtained when he killed the demon were both large and full, and contained a lot of energy. Compared with the demon pills from other places, they were more refined, almost to the point where they could be directly swallowed and refined.

······
At dusk, the sky was as white as brocade. Qiu Chuji had arrived in Fuzhou City and was queuing to pay the city entrance fee.

After paying the entrance fee, you will be given a small stamped note at the city gate. If you are questioned by the police in the city, you will not be easily detained as a "fugitive".

Qiu Chuji was not afraid of those policemen who did not even have guns but only had batons, but it was always better to have less trouble.

As for the long mace behind his back, it had already been wrapped with cloth to cover it.

At this moment, the sky had not yet completely darkened. On the streets of Fuzhou city, there were already six processions of gods marching in all directions, ready to set off with the sound of gongs and drums.

Almost all the people around were holding incense sticks and kowtowing to the statues on the eight-man sedan chair.

Qiu Chuji squeezed through the crowd and looked at the nearest statue, only to see that the statue had a strange appearance, with three faces and eight arms, and looked ferocious and weird. Among the serious Buddhist and Taoist guardian gods, there were also some with ugly faces and strange appearances, but most of them were gods, and they often showed righteousness in their ferocity, and were awe-inspiring and should not be offended.

The statue in front of him gave Qiu Chuji the intuitive feeling that it was full of malice.

Under the emperor's qi-gazing technique, it was emitting thick black and red smoke, just like the thick wolf smoke lit on a beacon tower.

Just by looking at his aura, you can tell that this guy is not a righteous god, but a vicious demon with numerous evil deeds.

Fortunately, the evil light has not yet condensed into substance, otherwise this thing would not be a false god or an evil god, but a real evil god.

When Qiu Chuji looked at it, it seemed to be aware of Qiu Chuji's gaze, and turned its eyes on its face to Qiu Chuji. Their eyes met, and there was a strong warning and provocation in its gaze.

It saw that Qiu Chuji was a Taoist priest, and that he even had a murderous aura that he was not trying to conceal.

But it doesn't care.

There were many soldiers guarding the procession to maintain its formation.

These soldiers are all equipped with guns, although they are all old stuff and may be more decorative than practical. However, if ordinary Taoists or monks pass by and see this scene, even if they have some skills, they will be afraid of these guns.

For the people who practice cultivation in this world, in most cases, even if they have extraordinary magical powers, their physical bodies are only slightly better than those of ordinary mortals.

If you want to resist the bullets, you have to draw talismans on your body in advance, or even ask the gods to enter your body, which is not practical. Facing the provocation of the evil god, Qiu Chuji sneered and was about to take action. He smashed the statue and the altar with his mace and then dug out its inner elixir. If the statue was possessed by a ghost, he would seal it in the mace, so that he would know what "what are you looking at" meant.

But I felt someone approaching from behind, with a gentle breath and no malicious intentions.

"Fellow Daoist! Don't be impulsive!" a voice sounded.

Qiu Chuji turned around as if he had just noticed something, and saw a familiar face.

He has a square face, a small mustache, big bright eyes and a gentle temperament. Who else could it be but Lin Jiu, the Saint Master of All Realms?
How did I meet him here?
Although he was confused, Qiu Chuji's expression did not change at all. He just said, "This mountain spirit and wild monster is presumptuous to occupy the position of God. It should be killed!"

Looking at the murderous fellow in front of him, Lin Jiu couldn't help but wonder which family this young man came from. Not only was he dressed strangely, like an antique from hundreds of years ago, but he also spoke so impulsively.

"It should be dealt with, but we need to know how to deal with it."

"Did you see those dozen guns? Didn't your master teach you to hide when you see a gun?" Lin Jiu said.

Behind Lin Jiu, an ugly man with a simple and old appearance appeared and said, "Master, you said that a gun is fast at a distance of ten steps, and it is fast and accurate at a distance of ten steps. Master Xu of Mount Gezao was shot to death by someone."

"You also said that if you encounter a gun and don't hide, you are a fool. If you know there is a gun and still go for it, you are a fool among fools."

"Are you a fool?" the ugly man asked Qiu Chuji seriously.

Lin Jiu looked embarrassed. He turned around and slapped the ugly man on the back of his head. Then he turned around and looked at Qiu Chuji seriously. He did the whole thing in one go.

"Want to talk about methods?"

"What do you mean?" Qiu Chuji was very considerate and didn't pay attention to the ugly man's words, and asked Lin Jiu.

Lin Jiu pulled Qiu Chuji and dragged him out of the crowd, then they went to a teahouse together. After the waiter brought a pot of tea and some dried fruits and cold dishes, he whispered, "Let's do it when it's late at night and everyone is asleep."

"A dozen guns are scary, but people holding guns are also human beings and they have to sleep."

Qiu Chuji pointed to the bustling scene outside the window, where statues of unknown origin were being held up by the jubilant crowd, with torches burning high and incense and candles in hand, rolling through the busy streets like a fire dragon, and said, "I'm afraid they won't be able to rest tonight."

"That's perfect! Let's take a good rest and do it tomorrow morning."

"Also, we have to do a good investigation first. Although these are all false gods, the monsters who usurp the throne are not all bad. Even if they are bad, they have to be prioritized."

"Those who are only after incense and offerings can be let off for now, but those who eat children and rape other people's wives and daughters must be dealt with first."

Judging from what Lin Jiu said, he has been studying it for a while and may have already come up with a plan.

"Since you have made a plan, I will just follow your instructions."

"However, if there are any monster inner cores, I want them all." Qiu Chuji said, stretching out his hand and clenching his fist.

Lin Jiu looked at Qiu Chuji a few more times and saw that Qiu Chuji had a pure aura and did not seem like someone who practiced evil methods, so he advised him, "Practicing is not easy, and it requires gradual progress. Using demon pills to assist in practicing can quickly increase your magic power, but it will destroy your future."

"We are just strangers, so we shouldn't talk too much. If you have any questions, please tell me. If I can help you, I won't refuse."

Qiu Chuji shook his head and smiled: "I don't have any difficulties, but this demon pill is indeed useful to me."

"Don't worry, I won't eat them."

"Perhaps... we can consider it as preparing to use them to set up a battle formation."

Qiu Chuji did intend to get some more demon pills and take them back to Zhongnan Mountain to set up the Juyuan Formation.

With this formation, the Taoists in Mount Zhongnan can achieve excellent results in their internal energy cultivation and get twice the result with half the effort.

"Oh! So that's it!" Lin Jiu didn't know what he thought of. He stopped asking and said affirmatively: "Okay! I'll leave all the demon pills to you, but... if there are any good furs and demon molts, they will all be mine!"

As he spoke, a hint of shrewdness flashed across his serious-looking face.

"Okay!" Qiu Chuji agreed immediately.

The monsters in this world have filthy flesh and blood, and their fur, although good, can only be exchanged for some money. Qiu Chuji certainly does not take them seriously.

When he exorcised monsters in the past, he would simply throw away the skin and flesh of the monsters and not carry them with him.

As for the daily necessities, there was actually no need for the few dollars given by Taoist Qianhe. In the lairs of some monsters who liked to collect wealth, there was a lot of money that could be used in this world. Qiu Chuji could just take some and carry it with him, so he would never lack small change to spend.
