Chapter 175： The price of subduing the demon

Chapter 175 The price of subduing the demon

Xuanmen has encountered an unprecedented crisis.

The inheritance of spells has been discontinued from generation to generation, and cultivation has regressed. Xuanmen is no longer the era in the past when only one person could pull the big demon to death together.

Zhenren Qingfeng tells everyone that the emergence of the great demon will bring disaster to Xuanmen. If you are not careful, the whole army will be annihilated.

So, for the future consideration of Xuanmen, everyone needs to make a reasonable plan—

First of all, determine the basic policy for dealing with the big demon, which is that all sects must unite to be able to fight the big demon.

Secondly, even if everyone is ready to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, everyone in Xuanmen cannot die. Some people must stay and leave a legacy of inheritance to Xuanmen.

Under the constraints of these two basic principles, the various sects quickly made arrangements.

In the sect, the older ones with the highest cultivation level are the main force to deal with the big demon; the older ones with the lower cultivation level are the main backup force.

The above two waves of people must be prepared for a decisive battle with the big demon. There is a 99% chance that they will not be able to come back.

The remaining group of people who are young and just starting out, who have little cultivation and will be of no use even if they go to the battlefield, stay in the sect to continue the incense and inheritance of the sect.

Before the war, all the sects made preparations.

Shuyunguan is no exception.

At that time, Master Qingfeng chose his second disciple as the successor of the next temple master, leaving behind a group of juniors who had just started.

Subsequently, Master Qingfeng took all the combat power of Shu Yunguan and joined other sects to go to the place where the great demon was born.

In the records of ancient books, that battle can be described as thrilling—

The great demon emerged from the ground. In an instant, rocks rolled and the ground shook. Trees fell and rocks collapsed within a thousand miles, houses collapsed, and everything turned into powder.

 with numerous casualties among the people who didn't have time to evacuate. The entire land was devastated and bloody, and they all became food for the big demon.

When Xuanmen arrived, half of the demon's body had already emerged from the earth. Once it was completely out, nothing could stop it.

With almost no hesitation, Xuanmen moved in full force.

There is no distinction between the main force and the reserve force at this time, because no Xuanmen person who cares about the common people can endure such a situation.

Everyone is eager to point their swords at the big demon and kill it on the spot, lest it escape and harm more people.

A group of sect leaders and elders with the highest level of cultivation were holding magic weapons and talismans to confront the big demon head-on; some disciples who could not get close were responsible for rescuing the people.

That battle lasted for seventy-seven forty-nine days.

Until all the living people within a thousand miles radius were sent away, everyone in Xuanmen was exhausted.

The moment of final decisive battle has arrived.

With the help of others, Master Qingfeng activated the ultimate move, using the move that the founder of the sect, Master Shu Yun, pulled the big demon to death together.

When Master Shu Yun used this move, it was one person and one sword. He used his own death to save nearly half of Xuanmen's living strength. Although Xuanmen suffered heavy losses, it would not be completely destroyed.

But this time, Qingfeng Zhenren used the same trick again. He couldn't do it by himself and had to ask others to cooperate. This was the inevitable result of inheritance and the regression of cultivation.

Fortunately, this trick works.

The demon-slaying formation that destroyed the heaven and earth, with its huge power and the force of thunder, enveloped the big demon and the entire Xuanmen people.

Senior Xuanmen offered his body as a sacrifice, but the demon was unwilling to fight back with all his might, but in the end they both ended up perishing together.

Those who died together this time were the great demon and all the Xuanmen disciples who participated in subduing the demon.

But there is one exception, his name is Luqiao.

This man was a disciple of Shu Yunguan. He was sent to **** the people away, thus avoiding the final battle and surviving the battle.

But when he sent the people away and rushed back to the battlefield, he only saw all his seniors and fellow sects dying together with the great demon in the demon-slaying formation, and heard the curse that the great demon uttered with all his strength before he died—

The blood body is the matchmaker, and the demon beads are the sacrifice.

I want that after this battle, all those who participate in the Xuanmen war will have no rising stars, and there will no longer be a way to kill monsters in the world.

I want one day to be full of ghosts and monsters.

After the curse ended, the big demon was completely wiped out by the demon-slaying array, and all the seniors and fellow disciples who participated in the demon-slaying formation were left dead.

As the only remaining disciple of Shu Yunguan, Lu Qiao spent nearly a month collecting the bones of others on this battlefield.

The heads and elders who fought against the big demon at close range have no bones left, and only some broken magic weapons prove that they once existed.

 Luqiao returned with the broken bones and magical weapons. Although the big demon was eliminated, the news that the entire Xuanmen army was annihilated made everyone sad.

At that time, Xuanmen held funerals every day.

After the funeral, the various sects, led by the speaker, went back to their homes and separated, planning to live in seclusion in the mountains and concentrate on cultivation, waiting for the next catastrophe to come.

The same is true for Shuyun Temple. Lu Qiao became the only elder of Shuyun Temple, and together with the current temple master, he taught the newcomers who had just started.

But a few months later, he discovered a problem—

All the disciples of Shu Yunguan have not made any progress in their cultivation, including the good seedlings who were once praised by Master Qingfeng as having excellent roots and bones, and they have not made any progress at all.

What’s even more frightening is that even the disciples who have already completed their studies are slowly regressing in their cultivation.

There were already young disciples who could draw a few simple runes with a high success rate, but after fighting monsters for several months, they could not even draw a complete rune.

They can no longer communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the Xuanmen disciples who were originally amazing and talented gradually disappeared from everyone.

At this moment, Lu Qiao suddenly remembered the curse of the great demon:

After this battle, all the Xuanmen who participated in the battle had no rising stars, and there was no way to kill monsters in the world.

If all Xuanmen disciples can no longer practice the Xuanmen art of subduing demons and eliminating demons, wouldn’t that mean the curse has been fulfilled?

Lu Qiao’s heart gradually became cold.

He quickly called other sects together to share the news, intending to brainstorm and solve the problem.

But I have to admit that Xuanmen is in ruins after this battle.

There is no one who is proficient in calculation and calculation, who can calculate a promising future for the disciples of Xuanmen; there is no person with advanced cultivation who can raise his arms and lead Xuanmen with one call.

The remaining young people were afraid and panicked.

Some people have chosen to withdraw from Taoism and return to the secular world. It is better to live an ordinary life and live old, sick and die than to waste time in Taoism where there is no future.

The few remaining people adhere to the ideal of slaying demons and follow their promises to their ancestors, and stay.

Finally, Luqiao came up with a solution that was not a solution. He said:

“The great demon’s curse says that all Xuanmen participating in the war will have no rising stars and no way to subjugate the demon.”

“If we all quit the sect, can we break this situation?”

This idea has been affirmed by everyone.

Since Shu Yunguan has participated in the war, no matter how much Shu Yunguan disciples make any progress, as long as all Shu Yunguan disciples quit the sect and walk in the world with other identities, will they not be cursed?

Of course, this is just a guess and needs to be proven by the world.

So, Shu Yunguan decided to take this step and use himself to prove whether this plan was feasible.

Under the auspices of Lu Qiao and the temple master, the existing Shuyunguan disciples were divided into five groups according to mountain, medicine, fortune, fortune, and divination. Each group carried a corresponding part of the classics and exercises and went out to find a suitable place. Stay away from the world.

For example, the Shan sect took away Feng Shui and Kanyu techniques, the Medical sect took away medical books, etc.

After this, the once-famous Shuyun Temple suddenly fell apart, leaving only Lu Qiao and the temple owner, guarding the temple. There will be no day of reunion or revitalization until the curse is lifted.

Other sects are waiting for Shu Yunguan's test results.

But later I discovered that this trick was of no use.

As long as they have kowtowed incense and kowtowed in front of Shu Yun, the founding master of the Shu Yun Guan sect, and had a demerit in Shu Yun Guan, even if they quit the sect, they will still be within the scope of the curse.

Unless they accept new disciples, do not become disciples, do not take names, and do not pass on the name of Shuyunguan, they will have a small chance to learn Xuanmen techniques.

After verifying this method, other sects began to follow suit—

As a result, the famous Longhu Mountain became deserted; the Maoshan Sect, known as the nemesis of ghosts and ghosts, became lonely; the orthodox sects of the Three Qing Dynasties such as Zhengyi Sect and Quanzhen Sect were left in the cold and no one cared about them.

Because the remaining disciples, carrying different classics, left the scope of the master's sect and went to various parts of the country to find different inheritors.

Everyone hopes to pass on Xuanmen and hopes that one day, Xuanmen will be reunited and restore its former glory.

However, transportation and communication were inconvenient at that time. After leaving the master, they were displaced. Many people were never heard from again, and even the Kung Fu books they took away were nowhere to be found.

After that, a few talented Taoists came out to tell fortunes, tell fortunes, exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, but they never claimed to be members of Taoism, let alone reported their names.

At this point, Xuanmen, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has completely declined.

In order to pass down Shuyun Guan, Lu Qiao and the Guanzhu adopted several orphans and taught them skills, but they could not learn it. They only had a general understanding of the theory and could act as swindlers outside.

Later, Luqiao and the master of the temple died, and Shuyunguan was passed down from generation to generation, and came into the hands of Pei Changhe. He used his rich theoretical knowledge to become a famous magic stick in all corners of the country.

The above is the entire history of Shuyunguan.

Master Zhao spoke in great detail and was rich in content, far more than what Pei Anzhu had seen in the ancient books of Shuyunguan.

She reasonably guessed that the classics left by Shu Yunguan were just unimportant inheritances, and the truly important and powerful inheritances had been taken away long ago.

Even the history remains unclear, and the real books with detailed records are also scattered outside.

Master Zhao’s next words also proved her guess, because he said:

“My lineage took away life skills back then, but all the books related to life are in the hands of my lineage.”

"Including but not limited to assigning lives, borrowing lives, exchanging lives, and renewing lives... This is also the reason why I can perform the resurrection technique."
