Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 317: Monk, Snake, Demon, Swordsman
In the guest room, a dim light was lit and a handsome monk, who looked as handsome as a demon, was sitting on the ground, chanting sutras.

Multiple blockades have been set up and all means have been deployed. He must be here today to capture that evildoer and prevent her from destroying the peace of the world.

With a creak, the door opened.

The woman in white entered the room gracefully and looked at the monk with cold eyes.

The woman was carrying a bamboo basket in her arms. She must have just returned from shopping. There was a little frost and dew on her hair after nightfall. Such an attitude is not suitable for a great demon who has practiced for at least a thousand years.

"Master monk, you come to our door for no reason. We are an innocent family..." The woman in white pretended to be calm and placed the bamboo basket on the chest beside her, but she was always on guard against the monk's sudden attack.

The monk stopped chanting, his expression unchanged, only his eyes moved slightly, and he said decisively: "There is a demon in Xu's house!"

"Where is the monster in our house? You must be mistaken, monk!" said the woman in white calmly.

"Xu Xian has mortal eyes, so he cannot recognize her." The monk stared at the woman in white, as if he could see through her beautiful appearance and see her ferocious true face.

"Aren't you also a mortal? So you are not just a mortal?" the woman said sarcastically.

The monk raised his palm, his magic power already surging secretly: "The monk is naturally a human!"

"Then what makes you say there is a demon in our house?" the woman asked softly, and her magic power gradually spread throughout the room. But for some reason, perhaps because she had been disguised as a mortal for too long, or because the injuries she suffered when she went to Kunlun Mountain to steal the magic herb had not healed, she was particularly clumsy in using her magic power this time.

"Of course there are magic weapons that can subdue demons and monsters!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the monk pointed his finger, and a ray of golden light flew out from the golden bowl beside him and rushed straight towards the woman in white.

At the same time, the woman in white attacked, and used her finger as a sword, pointing it at the monk's brow. After being forced back by the monk's spiritual light, she released hundreds of rays of light, which wrapped around the monk's body and blocked him, but she secretly held back some strength and did not tighten the line.

"Break!" The monk let out a slight cry, and his magic power burst out, breaking through all the silk threads wrapped around him. At the same time, the magic circle that had been set up in the room was activated. In the complex golden lines, the brilliant golden lotus bloomed with infinite brilliance.

The woman in white immediately looked exhausted as she was covered by layers of pressure, confinement and blockade.

The magical powers of the monk and the demon began to clash violently. Although this woman was a great demon with a thousand years of cultivation, how could she compare to a natural-born Buddhist?
The formation turned into heavy pressure that fell down one after another, and the whole room seemed to be in a Buddhist country.

The woman in white resisted for about seven or eight breaths before she was exhausted. The monk began to chant scriptures, and the sound of the demon-subduing chant went straight through her soul, causing the woman in white to no longer be able to maintain her body shape. White scales began to appear on her face and hands.

With a wail, the woman in white transformed into a white python several meters long, hovering in the narrow space, wantonly whipping everything with her tail, trying to break out of the blockade.

But the monk had made careful arrangements, and even though her strength was enough to move mountains, she could not penetrate the thin wooden walls and roof.

Xu Xian felt something was wrong in the room and knocked on the door hard, but it didn't budge at all.

Monk Fahai's original spirit sensed everything around him, and with an extra effort, he was determined to make the snake demon exhausted, and then send it to the mortal man, so that he could have a good look at what kind of vicious creature his beloved wife was.

He had seen too many mortals being seduced by the beauty of monsters.

The human tragedies caused by this are too numerous to mention.

Therefore, Fahai already has a very complete and comprehensive process for dealing with such matters, and this time it is appropriate to operate in this way.

"Get out of the way!" a voice rang out.

Xu Xian at the door was dragged away by a sudden surge of force, and then a sword light broke through the seal of the door and rushed into the room violently. A man covered in a black cloak, holding a sword, came through the air and broke through the wind. He glanced at the struggling white snake and struck Fahai with seven or eight swords in a row.

The sword technique was sharp and swift, and the momentum was quite compelling. Not only did it force Fahai to stop reciting the scriptures, but the sword also cut several gaps in the formation in the room, making the originally tightly closed formation no longer seamless.

Buzz!
Fahai activated the golden bowl, but the golden-haired beast inside the bowl did not show any strong hostility towards the black-robed man who suddenly appeared.

The golden-haired lion was originally an ancient evil monster, but after being subdued by Guanyin Bodhisattva, it became a spiritual beast of Buddhism, with the ability to distinguish between demons and evil spirits and to eliminate monsters.

The golden-haired lion in Fahai’s golden bowl is still young. It was given to him by the Bodhisattva when he kowtowed to the Bodhisattva in his youth.

With the help of this spiritual beast, Fahai has been able to get all the way to where he is today and become the abbot of Jinshan Temple, the most outstanding Buddhist practitioner in the world.

Well... As for why the lower world already has Guanyin Bodhisattva before the upper world has been deified, this is actually not surprising.

The "conferring of gods" as it is commonly known is just one of the countless possibilities that have evolved and become known to the public.

When I reach the level of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, the past and the future are all me. In the upper world there is a Taoist named Cihang who is preparing to be deified, while in the lower world there is Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva appearing in the world. Some of the traces he left behind seem very contradictory, but in the world of mythology, they are actually very common.

Practitioners are beings that are beyond common sense and cognition, and the so-called jumping out of the Three Realms and not being in the Five Elements. The Three Realms and Five Elements here also include the concept of time and space.

It happened in a flash, the Golden Haired Roar had not been mobilized yet, Fahai's hands emitted golden light, and he waved his palms repeatedly to block the sword lights that were coming towards him one by one.

But before he could fight back, nor ask who the person was, he saw the man in black robe attacking him again, with another series of attacks. He had no intention of defending or taking care of himself, as if he was determined to fight him to the death.

"Do I have a grudge against this person?" Fahai responded while thinking carefully in his mind.

At this moment, the person who broke in and helped the White Snake was naturally Xu Xuan, who had gained cultivation and skills from Qiu Chuji and had been resurrected.

He risked his life and launched the attack so recklessly not only because he saw the White Snake injured and was furious, but also because he remembered Qiu Chuji's teachings to him.

All his skills and methods were acquired through tricks. Although he was instilled with some combat experience and memories, he had no physical memory or instinctive reaction. So once facing an enemy, he could only charge forward and use his own advantages of deep skills and sharp swordsmanship to suppress his opponent.

Otherwise, once his opponent has the opportunity to fight back, his lack of experience will be magnified.

In short, the most suitable tactic for Xu Xuan is 'don't be afraid, just do it'!
As the sword light flowed, Xu Xuan slashed out hundreds of swords in a short period of time. If each sword light fell somewhere else, it would be enough to split the mountains, but when it came to Fahai, it was like a drop in the ocean.

Although Fahai seemed to be dealing with the situation calmly, he was actually under a lot of pressure at this moment.

Xu Xuan's swordsmanship was learned from Qiu Chuji. It seemed similar to the swordsmanship of practitioners in this world, but in fact it was very different.

This difference is reflected not only in the moves and techniques, but also in the subtle changes in strength.

Often, Xu Xuan's sword is not just a simple sword, but a mixture of overlapping waves, hidden force, spiral force and other forces. If you are not careful, you will suffer a loss in the confrontation.

This was because Xu Xuan's cultivation was forcefully infused, and his use of strength was not very proficient.

If Qiu Chuji took action, a fair and dignified sword strike would be enough to make the unprepared opponent vomit blood and suffer a great loss.
