The old beggar in Yuehe Village, or we should call him Xuan Daozi. As a person who accidentally obtained immortal fate and learned Taoism, he could be said to have no worries about food and clothing for the first half of his life. With the skills he learned from a Taoist book, he could easily catch a kid for someone, hold a funeral, etc. He had some skills and was even called a half-immortal.
But maybe it was his luck and his misfortune. Xuan Daozi never encountered any powerful monsters in the first half of his life, which made him always invincible. Gradually, he even threw away the most basic caution, saying His skill cultivation gradually stagnated.
When the "River God" of Yuehe Village appeared, with the idea of "expelling ghosts and catching demons and increasing his reputation", Xuandaozi also quietly came to such a remote small village. After wandering around outside the village for a few days, Xuandaozi finally figured out the location of the River Demon Cave.
One night, Xuandaozi and the river demon started a desperate fight. The battle process was beyond Xuan Daozi's expectation. This river monster turned out to be a shark spirit that had been practicing for hundreds of years. In his underground river cave, it not only occupied the advantageous location and doubled his spells, but even the weather helped him. It was windy and rainy that night, which doubled Xuandaozi's pressure.
Under normal circumstances, even if Xuandaozi was defeated, it would not be a big problem to escape intact. However, he did not expect that the result of that day would make him regret it for the rest of his life. Whenever he closed his eyes at night , that scene will still echo in his eyes.
"Evil demon, today the Taoist master will take care of you, the man-eating monster!"
I saw Xuan Daozi holding the century-old peach wood sword that was nourished by his heart's blood in one hand and rushing towards Shark Jing.
"For a little Taoist to take care of this great master's affairs, he is really looking for death!"
Being knocked on the door by a wild Taoist priest for no reason made even a monster like Shark King feel furious. This confrontation completely aroused his anger.
Shark Spirit was already on the verge of transformation, and he reached the threshold after eating the girl sacrificed by Yuehe Village. The body has been transformed into the shape of a fish head and a human body. Although it has not completely transformed into a human being, the harpoon in one hand is so powerful that Xuan Daozi's beating is very frustrating.
"What a beast, I'll take a thunder from Master Dao's palm!"
Looking at the shark spirit in front of him, Xuan Daozi's eyes flashed with light, and suddenly a thunder light flashed from his right hand, and a thunder exploded.
Shark Jing's reaction was not slow, and he dodged to the side the moment he saw Xuan Daozi raising his hand, but even so, he still couldn't completely avoid this move.
The turning point of the matter happened at this moment. For some reason, Village Chief Feng appeared behind Xuandaozi, and he threw a big stone at Xuandaozi's back. Xuan Daozi, who didn't expect this at all, just felt his blood surge up. He didn't even control the palm thunder in his hand, and detonated it not far away in front of him, even himself was affected.
"Wow... you are such a thief. If you feel that you are disturbing my penance, I will kill you!"
Although the thunderbolt in his palm missed, the human body that Shark King had just accomplished was also damaged, causing him to transform into his true form. Suddenly, the nearly ten-meter-long giant Shark Spirit's mana caused ripples in the surrounding underground waterways.
"Wild waves attack!"
Two deadly waves formed an encirclement, as if they were going to crush Xuan Daozi into a pulp.
Xuandaozi, who recovered from his memories, touched his Dantian. In order to escape the pursuit of Shark Spirit, he not only used forbidden moves to damage his Dantian and become a cripple, but also had less than five years left in his life. time.
Moreover, his appearance had undergone irreversible changes, which allowed him to sneak back to Yuehe Village secretly without being discovered by Village Chief Feng. He stayed in this village for a year and a half, hoping that one day someone could destroy the shark spirit.
"How come this little girl, Xiaoxue, hasn't seen her skills improve to such an extent in the past few days? She obviously just relied on instinct to breathe in and out. Could it be that she has become enlightened?"
Xuan Daozi, who has been active in the village for such a long time, and whose eyesight has not deteriorated, naturally understands that Xiaoxue is extraordinary, but because of this understanding, he is even more unable to understand Xiaoxue's rapid growth in cultivation. This is simply talking about Xuan Daozi himself. Years of practice have gone into practicing on dogs.
When Xuandaozi walked into the ruined temple where he was staying, he stopped and raised his head to look at the other person in the ruined temple.
"Hey, how come this young master has the time to come to this shabby place like mine, and isn't he afraid of staining the young master's eyes?"
Xuandaozi, a man destined to live a long life, was completely shameless. He landed on the table not far away, took out half a piece of cake from his arms and started to eat it.
"Here, I want to ask you something. How many times have you heard of that so-called river god?"
Le Yuan then threw the wrapped bun into Xuan Daozi's arms, then walked to the threshold and looked at the situation in the village and couldn't help but say.
"Hmm, good stuff. Do you want to get rid of the demon? Just save it. That shark spirit has hundreds of years of cultivation, and his ability to control water is really good. Young man, don't risk your life."
Xuan Daozi looked at Le Yuan. Although he didn't know Le Yuan's specific age, he guessed from Le Yuan's steps, tone of voice, etc. that Le Yuan was definitely not much older. In his opinion, Le Yuan would be no better even if he was born from his mother's womb. Where to go.
"Really? It's not a good habit to judge people by their appearance. Since I'm here, I'm here with the certainty of victory."
As soon as Le Yuan stepped on the ground, countless frosts spread from Le Yuan's feet, and the entire City God's Temple was immediately covered with frost. As for Xuan Daozi, who had already broken through the power, his body was very weak, and his temperature dropped sharply. He immediately hugged his body and hunched over until he was shivering.
"Hiss—it's so cold. Your ice magic is so powerful. Stop it quickly. The old beggar can't stand it anymore."
Xuan Daozi was so cold that he stomped his feet, and his eyes looking at Le Yuan became inexplicably fanatical. Le Yuan's hand was more powerful than the thunder in his palm, and it also restrained Shark Jing's water-bending ability, which made him feel something. The hope of revenge.
"I wonder if the young master can promise Pindao something. Pindao will tell all the details about the river demon and give him a generous gift!"
As soon as Xuan Daozi said these words, he immediately attracted a strange look from Le Yuan. Le Yuan had already seen everything else on Xuandaozi's body clearly. Apart from this set of tattered clothes, he couldn't even afford three cents, let alone a generous gift.
Being looked at by Le Yuan, Xuan Daozi also blushed. His family knew his own affairs, and he really didn't have any good treasures on him. Most of his outfit at that time was destroyed during the battle with the shark spirit. Now he really doesn't have any treasures worth giving away.
"Young Master, I had a fight with the Shark Spirit before that caused me to be seriously injured. I was not going to die for a long time. Now that I see you today, I know that my injury can be saved. I also have a treasure called Jiang Gongdan. If you can help me, I will help you." Get the inner elixir of the shark spirit and give it to the young master."
Xuandaozi clasped his hands and said to Le Yuan, and he still had some impression of Jiang Gong Dan Le Yuan. It seemed to be a special rare object in the world of Xuanyuan Sword, with unique power.
Le Yuan did not expect that the subplot of wishing the world would only give Jinchuang Medicine would involve such a prop. He thought about it and then nodded. Although he didn't get the side mission prompt from the system, he still had to try it anyway. If the inner elixir was useless to him, it wouldn't hurt to use it in exchange.
"By the way, you are also a Taoist. Have you ever heard of Chen Fu, the junior brother of Mr. Gongshan?"
At this time, Le Yuan couldn't help asking Xuan Daozi about Chen Fu. The artifact [Demon Refining Pot] was now in his hands. Le Yuan had been admiring this artifact for a long time and wanted to see it. .
Le Yuan was actually asked some information. According to Xuan Daozi, he had a relationship with Chen Fu, and he seemed to be living in seclusion in Yaowang Mountain. After Xuan Daozi met him, he also inquired about this person. He heard that Chen Fu was a remnant of the Chen State rebels more than ten years ago. However, they were all cultivators, so Xuan Daozi pretended that he had never seen him. .
Regarding Xuan Daozi, Le Yuan dug out all the information he knew about Shark Jing. Le Yuan has never really fought against monsters in this world until now, and the first BOSS that the original protagonist of this world encountered was just a test of Le Yuan's strength.
According to Xuan Daozi, who had a professor with him, Shark Spirit is incredibly powerful. Like most monsters, it has power that far exceeds that of ordinary humans. Compared with the peerless generals who are born with divine power, they are not far behind, and because Shark Spirit is an aquatic monster, his power in the water is even more powerful.
After the human body was broken, it would be impossible for the same shark to cultivate into the transformed state again in a short time. Without more than ten years of practicing again, it would be impossible to achieve the human form again. Therefore, he can only rely on pure physical combat, and weapons and other weapons can no longer be used.
The only remaining ability of the same shark is the water-bending technique, and what deserves Le Yuan's attention is his unique skill "Wild Wave Attack". The power of the water flow under his control is enough to crush the human body. Many people who came to capture the demons were defeated by this move.
"What do you think about tomorrow's festival?"
Le Yuan asked Xuandaozi about his thoughts at this time. Xuandaozi, who had been coming for a long time, must know more about this festival.
"Well, it's unusual. As far as I know, every time this river demon wants to devour a living person, it always happens on the night of the full moon on August 15th, but now it's still half a year away from August 15th. It seems like there's something wrong We don’t know the reason, maybe this will be a good opportunity to kill him.”
Xuandaozi touched the messy beard on his chin. In his opinion, this either meant that the river demon wanted to eat people randomly, or that he had encountered something and had to eat people's flesh and blood to recover from his injuries.
As the two of them waited, time passed little by little, and as the entire Yuehe Village turned into festival mode, the joy of the festival suddenly enveloped the village.
