Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 252 It has to thank us!

"A big shipment!" Qiu Chuji said from afar, looking at the hilltop that was about to be flattened.

Yang Kang's face was filled with lingering fear. If Qiu Chuji had not pulled him quickly, he would have been smashed into it. With his current skills and the defensive ability he had gained after practicing the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, as long as he was not hit head-on, the chances of him being crushed to death were low, but he would definitely be seriously injured.

On the other side, Su Tianxin and Jin Guang ran even farther, so it took them some time to return.

The four people rushed to the huge meteorite crater, and saw a half-black and half-red energy crystal at the bottom of the crater, which contained a very evil-looking statue. Just by looking at it with the naked eye, they felt uncomfortable all over. The statue also emitted a strange and weird fluctuation. People with weak willpower would inevitably be bewitched if they looked at it for a long time.

Looking at the appearance of the statue, it is pitch black, with four faces, six arms, and eight legs. There are a large number of tentacles extending from its back, and there are mysterious demonic patterns and dark scales on its body. Just by looking at its appearance, one can be sure that this must be an evil god, and definitely not a good thing.

Although there are some guardian gods with green faces and fangs and ferocious appearances recruited by Taoism and Buddhism, there are huge differences in their temperaments apart from their appearance.

"A statue? What does that mean?" Qiu Chuji looked at Yang Kang. After all, he was the one who communicated directly with the devil.

Yang Kang walked into the meteorite crater, but did not rashly touch the crystal. Instead, he said to Qiu Chuji: "Master! Let's take it back and study it carefully!"

Obviously, Yang Kang didn't get any clues at all. After the demon made a big move, he never replied again.

This is understandable. In order to send this statue to the mortal world, the devil consumed a huge amount of demonic energy and suffered some injuries.

At the same time, the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth in the world of Qiannu has quietly increased a little, all thanks to the selfless dedication of Tianmo.

Qiu Chuji also jumped into the bottom of the pit and waved his hand to put the crystal wrapped around the statue into his small world.

As long as this thing enters the little world, no matter how evil it is, it will be useless.

Qiu Chuji turned around and invited Jin Guang and Su Tianxin to enter the small world together to study what the statue released by the demon was.

The two of them readily agreed.

With Qiu Chuji's guidance, the four of them entered the small world in a flash.

Su Tianxin was very calm because he had been here more than once, but Jin Guang was excited. Looking at the exotic flowers and plants in the yard, as well as the magical trees full of magical fruits, he took a deep breath and felt the air was full of sweet scent.

"What a blessed place, what a residence of immortals. I am honored to be invited by the Taoist priest to come here today. It is really a great honor for me!" Jin Guang looked at Qiu Chuji with disgusting eyes, and all he wanted to do was to ask for help from the big boss!
Jin Guang is indeed very proud, but he is also very good at reading the situation and knows how to bend and stretch.

When he was under Yan Chixia's command, he was considerate in many ways, which was why Yan Chixia, a rough man, relied on him for all the affairs of the sect. When Jin Guang turned against him, no one in the Xuanxin Sect spoke for him except his wife.

It was only after he became the leader of the Xuanxin Sect and the national teacher that Jin Guang's arrogance grew.

Qiu Chuji didn't pay much attention to Jin Guang. Although Jin Guang was capable of getting things done, he was also a real villain.

Being a tool to run errands is suitable, but it is still far from being able to be called a "fellow Taoist".

Even for those fellow Taoists who had the opportunity to find the door to the small world on their own, Qiu Chuji also made distinctions in his heart between close and distant people. Some people he could rely on as fellow Taoists, while some others he could only trade with, or were casual acquaintances who only maintained superficial relationships.

When he arrived at the small world, Qiu Chuji extracted the layer of energy crystal wrapped around the statue, and took out the energy in the energy crystal. The demonic nature was sealed and retained, and was not transformed into a demon seed for the time being.

After the energy shell was peeled off, Qiu Chuji looked at the statue with the authority like an innate demon god in his small world, and analyzed it with the help of the innate diagram. Gradually, he roughly understood the purpose of this thing.

"I see! This demon is really not stupid."

"We want to take advantage of it, but it wants to take away our money."

“Whoever holds this thing will see a huge boost in power, and the speed of practicing magic can be increased by several times. But over time, one will be affected, gradually controlled by it, and become its puppet.” Qiu Chuji said, and he went straight to it, taking the statue in his hands and playing with it.

In the outside world, Qiu Chuji would definitely not dare to do such a thing. Even if he left the world of A Chinese Ghost Story and went to some other world, the evil nature contained in the statue would be very difficult to deal with, and he would not dare to provoke it easily.

But in this small world, he is the master of heaven and earth, the center of the world. Unless the Yuxu Bell can be broken, the evil nature contained in the statue will have to lie down or curl up no matter how strong it is.

"And then?" Su Tianxin asked. She was very concerned about the follow-up.

Because the devil is controlling a puppet in the human world, his purpose is definitely not simple.

Even if he fails, Su Tianxin still has to be on guard.

"Then? Then they must have manipulated puppets to organize a sect to worship the evil god!" Qiu Chuji said. "If you think about it, you can understand it! The purpose of the Seven-Life Companion is to gather huge resentment and open a channel to lead the demon to the mortal world. If the Seven-Life Companion fails, the demon can actually gather a large number of mortals, stimulate their resentment and evil thoughts, form a bridge, and transform into the mortal world."

Qiu Chuji guessed that the devil must have known that the 'chess pieces' it had laid out in the human world had changed, and the real and fake Qi Ye aroused its suspicion, but it still gave enough support and response. Its purpose was to make another move in addition to the Seven Lifetimes of Enmity as a double insurance.

As for why they didn't use this trick earlier, so as to avoid the trouble of seven lifetimes of resentment, it must be because they were guarding against the counterattack of the world's will.

The Seven Lifetimes of Enmity is a gradual process with some fancy tricks.

And directly dropping a demonic statue would be too blatant a implication. If there is no good human carrier, the demon would be wasting its energy.

"Since it is such an evil thing, please help and destroy it." Su Tianxin asked immediately after listening to Qiu Chuji's explanation.

Qiu Chuji said, "No! This thing is very useful."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and condensed a demon-suppressing talisman with the attributes of time and space.

The time of this demon-suppressing talisman is condensed within two seconds, which means that the demon-suppressing power contained in it can be eternally solidified without increasing or decreasing until the cycle of time and space is broken.

Qiu Chuji attached the talisman to the vest of the Heavenly Demon Statue, turning it into a seal that temporarily sealed away all of its demonic and evil nature.

After a quick calculation, it was found that to create a demon-suppressing talisman that condensed a two-second space-time cycle out of thin air would consume about one-fifth of his true Qi.

However, afterward, you can take back the demon-suppressing talisman and return it to the small world, and the consumed limit of true Qi can be replenished.

"Now the evil nature of the statue has been sealed, Master Jin Guang... I want you to gather a large number of fools, idiots, and lunatics from all over the world, bring them to this statue, and burn incense and offer sacrifices to it day and night." Qiu Chuji said to Jin Guang.

Jin Guang wanted to curry favor with Qiu Chuji and was about to agree immediately, but when he saw that his own master looked unhappy, he stopped talking temporarily and signaled to Qiu Chuji with his eyes that he would take care of the matter.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu! What are you planning to do?"

"Help the devil? Or do you think you can control him this way? The power of incense and vows can indeed have a counter-current impact. I can understand your idea of ​​turning the devil into a foolish god through this statue, but in this way... aren't you underestimating the devil too much?" Su Tianxin's tone was a little aggressive. After all, in her opinion, Qiu Chuji's method was too fantastic.

It is not uncommon for the power of incense and vows to have a reverse influence on the deity being worshipped, and for the personality to shape the deity's character.

In any pantheon, there are many gods whose well-known divine attributes are not their original forms.

The power gained by relying on the thoughts of all living beings will eventually be bound by them.

Male gods become goddesses, goddesses become male gods, righteous gods become evil gods, evil gods become righteous gods... There are countless examples. In contrast, the functions and positions of the gods under the heaven are allocated very carefully, while the gods themselves are mostly virtualized. In fact, this has effectively reduced the impact, but it cannot be said that the impact does not exist at all.

Qiu Chuji sealed the evil nature of the statue of the Heavenly Demon, and then gave it to a group of fools to worship. Over time, this had a reverse impact on the Heavenly Demon, making it stupid as well. This is entirely possible.

But the devil is not a real god after all. It just has certain similarities with gods in nature, and it is already very powerful relying on its original foundation. It is not easy to infect it.

Su Tianxin also opposed it based on this point.

After all, if the effect is not good and it is discovered by the demon, this move will not only be harmless, but will be a death sentence.

Just like if an excessive amount of alien true qi is taken into a warrior's body, it will cause him to go astray and his true qi will run wild. But if a small amount is inhaled and his own skills are profound, or even if he has practiced the Beiming Divine Art, then this little bit of alien true qi will be a free benefit.

Although practicing martial arts and practicing spiritual cultivation are different, many principles actually lead to the same goal.

Qiu Chuji understood Su Tianxin's meaning, but shook his head and said, "Don't count on controlling the Heavenly Demon. It's just a statue. Unless you use this method and find at least tens of thousands of fools to kowtow to it for a thousand years, you can't really use this to counter the Heavenly Demon."

"But what if we don't ask for eternity, but only for a moment, and use the technique of stimulation to detonate all the stupidity and foolishness that has accumulated in this statue because of the worship of incense?"

"If the demon is stupid for a moment or two at a critical moment, wouldn't it greatly increase the possibility of us defeating it?"

Qiu Chuji has a lot of experience in struggle.

He knew clearly that when facing a strong opponent, if he could not make himself smarter and stronger, he would find a way to make his opponent stupider and weaker.
