I Can’t Be a Sword God

The slender moon and a half tonight,

It looks like your eyebrows are curved.

At that time, by the riverside,

I wish you a hundred years of longevity.

...

After a busy day, when the tired birds returned to their nests and the rays of the sun covered them, Li Chu also finished his time of "being in the Buddha's gate with his heart in the Tao" and returned to Deyun Branch in the south of the city.

The third and final round of the Foyuanhui will start tomorrow, and the top ten in the second round will participate.

Actually won the first place in the second round of competition, this result surprised Li Chu himself.

turn out to be……

Can you get the first place after sleeping?

Li Chu passed by those contestants who vomited blood and were seriously injured in the supreme thunder sound. They looked at each other with strange eyes.

There is suspicion of "is there something wrong" in the eyes.

Especially the second prince of the old city.

Before leaving, Li Chu took a look at him, and found that he was also looking at him with a creepy bright gaze.

It made him wonder for a while whether the plan had been brought to light.

Back to the Deyun point of view.

Before entering the door, I heard a noise coming from inside. Walking in and seeing that the courtyard was in a mess, Li Chu's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that there was a thief?

Then he raised his hand and touched his chest, it was bulging and very solid.

The rest of the bank notes are here, thinking that there is nothing to steal in Guannei, so I feel relieved.

When I walked to the backyard, I saw Wang Longqi, Fox Girl, and Duranke forming a circle with stern expressions, reprimanding something loudly.

And among the three of them was the little Fat Dragon with his head drooping.

It is obviously a dragon with a horny head, but at this time, its tail is between its legs, its head is almost hanging down to its belly, and the big eyes that are occasionally raised are full of tears. It looks like a third grandson.

"What's wrong?" Li Chu came over and asked.

The fox girl pinched her waist and said angrily, "I'm going out to buy vegetables this afternoon."

"I'll go out and drive away evil spirits for pilgrims," ​​Daoist Du also said.

"I also have something to go out..." Wang Longqi also said.

"It's the only one at home." The fox girl pointed to the sluggish Thunder Dragon, and then pointed to the messy yard around it, "It almost demolished the entire Taoist temple!"

"Um?"

Li Chu carefully looked at Xiao Feilong.

This guy has the blood of the northern wolf?

But looking at its drooping face, being obediently scolded... It was always a good baby before... It's hard to imagine that it would behave like a husky.

There are actually two faces at a young age.

Seemingly seeing that Li Chu was the one talking in this Taoist temple, Xiao Feilong walked up to him step by step with his belly dangling, stretched out his claws pitifully and gently pulled the corner of Li Chu's clothes.

As soon as Li Chu lowered his head, he met a pair of big innocent eyes.

The hard-hearted heart will melt when it sees it.

So he said affectionately: "The child has such a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, just scold him casually, beat him twice... three times, and lock him up in a small black room for seven days, with no food in between."

"okay."

Wang Longqi rolled up his sleeves, showing a sinister smile.

"Hey! Hey!"

Ignoring the screams behind him, Li Chushi walked back to his room.

Later, Daoist Du, who was out of breath, came over.

It seems that beating a child is a lot of hard work, and Du Daochang is obviously a little tired at his age.

"Master." He came in and sat down, and said, "There is something that may require you later."

"What's the matter?" Li Chu asked.

"There is a shopkeeper Liu in Qianqian Street, who has dozens of stores under his command. It is not an exaggeration to say that his family is rich." Dulanke narrated: "His family used to invite me to the door for business, and now his wife is pregnant."

"Is there... any causal relationship?" Li Chu asked cautiously.

"There is absolutely no such thing in his house." Durant quickly denied.

Li Chu nodded and didn't pursue deeply.

"But shopkeeper Liu is very nervous about this child. Because we know each other well, he also told me the reason after I questioned him several times." Duranke continued.

"It turns out that before he made his fortune, his family was in a very miserable situation. The whole family fled from the north, and several people starved to death. Only he and his mother were left. When his mother was about to starve to death, a strange person appeared... ...is a Gu Master."

"Gu Master?" Li Chu pondered for a while, "That's not from Southern Border..."

Most of the weird inheritances like Gu masters and wizards are spread in the land of southern Xinjiang, which is quite far away from Shenluo City. Moreover, these inheritors value the ancestral land the most, and rarely leave the southern border, so he felt a little strange.

"As for why this Gu master came to the north, he doesn't know. But that person said so, so he believed it." Du Daochang continued: "The person found him and said that he could give him his life. Wealthy, but the price is his second child."

"The shopkeeper Liu can't remember the exact words of the Gu master. But he probably said...he asked his second child to make Gu for him. Shopkeeper Liu asked him what he was going to do, and he said that after thirty years you will Naturally I know..."

Li Chu frowned, it sounded a bit evil.

"At that time, shopkeeper Liu didn't take it too seriously. What's more, he didn't say it was impossible to marry a wife, and even his own life was about to die. Hearing what the Gu Master said, he just went to the doctor as if he was in a hurry, so he agreed casually."

"Who would have thought that from then on, shopkeeper Liu would really meet kind-hearted people one after another, and the business would go smoothly, and he would start a business and earn a fortune. A beggar who fled from famine in the north became a local in the south of the city in more than ten years. The richest man can be said to be a god."

"But this year..."

Dulanke changed the subject: "The wife of shopkeeper Liu is pregnant with a child. Because his first child is a girl, he always wanted a son to inherit the family business. But... this year is just the time since he met the Gu master. It's the thirtieth year..."

Hearing this, Li Chu frowned for a long time, and then said something slowly.

"This shopkeeper Liu... is patriarchal."

"Pfft." Durante almost choked out, and hurriedly said: "We don't care about these things in this day and age. The problem now is that shopkeeper Liu has always been worried and worried that something will happen to this child. He invited the doctors in the whole Nancheng to take turns I've seen it, but I didn't see any problems. I used my spiritual sense to help him investigate twice, and now that the birth of the child is getting closer, he wants to ask someone to use the technique of hopefulness to take a look..."

He raised his eyes and added in a low voice: "The reward is quite good."

"No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in Taoism, and no matter how hard you are, you can't suffer children." Li Chu looked at him and nodded heavily: "This matter is incumbent."

Du Daochang also strongly echoed: "The benefits are undeniable."

...

There was no rush for other things, and Li Chu packed up and set off again in the early morning of the next day to attend the Buddha Fate Meeting at the Bailong Temple outside the city.

Today's venue was much bigger than yesterday's.

However, there are only ten contestants left.

Although the supreme thunder sound from the Forest of Ancestral Steles can cause confusion and even vomiting blood, it is not a serious injury to the cultivator. Basically, it can be recovered after a while of breath adjustment. If they digest what they got yesterday, it will be of great benefit to their practice.

In short, after a night of recuperation, it will not affect today's competition at all.

Compared with the physical one, the mental shock they suffered yesterday was obviously stronger.

When Goodbye Li Chu appeared, the expressions of the other contestants became subtle. Li Chu had a peaceful life last night, but they were all busy behind their backs trying to find out where he came from.

Li Chu didn't hide the fact that he came from the Deyun branch, so they easily got a complicated result.

It's like taking an exam, and one of the candidates fell asleep when he came up, and you didn't even see how he wrote his name, but he was the first in the class results.

But when I came back and inquired, I found that he was still from the school next door.

Still school grass.

Damn.

The nature is extremely bad.

It wasn't just them who were in complicated moods, but also the two monks on the top of Hongdu Mountain.

For old monks and young monks, a Buddhist meeting is not very important. But after the little monk couldn't help but take part in it yesterday, the importance has changed.

In particular, he didn't succeed in changing the result even if he took action himself.

The old monk looked at Li Chu worriedly.

No one should know better than him how strong the master's desire to win or lose is. It is something that cannot be wiped out after nine reincarnations and two hundred years of practicing Buddhism.

The young monk's immature face is really serious today, neither sad nor happy, his eyes are serious.

"Master..." The old monk asked tentatively, "Do you want to stop that little Taoist priest today..."

"Hehe." The little monk smiled slightly.

The old monk sighed silently, and there appeared a sneer on the master's face that had not been seen for many years and that only appeared in the face of a strong enemy.

"Today's competition is in the heart demon forest. The heart demon is ever-changing and only fears the Dharma. Even if I don't make a move, he may not be able to pass this level."

"The inner demon is really hard to deal with." The old monk had no choice but to agree.

Below, Zen Master Faqing appeared again.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate the few who won yesterday's competition and entered the third round of the Buddha's Fate. At this time, the distance from the Buddha's Fate is already one step away, please work hard to move forward."

Zen Master Faqing gave a slight nod to the contestants before introducing today's competition.

"The content of the third round of competition is Heart Demon Forest!"

"The Heart Demon Forest is a trial place in my Bailong Temple. The seeds of the heart demons from the ancient times are sealed in it. As long as someone steps into it, they will meet their own heart demons. The heart demons are created by the obsession in your heart. It is still unknown what kind of image will appear. Once you enter the forest, no matter what you encounter, you must deal with it carefully."

"What needs to be reminded is that with a mortal state of mind, the demons are almost impossible to kill. The final victory or defeat depends on how well you fight the demons. All temptations in the middle may be dangers, and all dangers may be tests. If you want to win, you have to stick to your heart.”

"Everyone, please."

The vast and dark forest on the back mountain of Bailong Temple has always existed as a forbidden area. Although there is only a simple tablet in front of the forest, if you moved forward in the past, you would be blocked by an invisible barrier.

This dense black forest cannot be entered by anyone who is not destined.

After a long time, on this day, ten predestined people came.

The ten of them were taken to different entrances and entered separately. According to the vastness of this forest, unless there is a special meeting, the possibility of encountering is unlikely.

Walk forward along the forest path separately, and each demon will appear.

It is also one of the joys of the eminent monks of Bailong Temple to witness what kind of demons these contestants will have. Because what is exposed at this time is often an unknown nature, and it may even be the exact opposite of the usual personality.

four cardinal vices……

Greed, hatred, ignorance...

It is like a mirror, reflecting all kinds of obsessions in the world.

...

After hearing Zen Master Faqing's words, Li Chu felt a little curiosity in his heart.

My own obsession... what will it be?

money? Experience?

Or go home?

Or is it the master or someone else from Deyun Temple?

But nothing happened after walking for a long time...

He gradually became suspicious, could it be that he and others were not on the same channel at all like in the last competition?

You could get away with it last time, what should you do this time?

While he was thinking to himself, he suddenly heard a voice from the depths of the dense forest in the other direction ahead, "Help me..."

"Um?"

Li Chu pushed aside the messy branches in the jungle and walked over to see that it was another contestant.

A young monk in a gray cloth monk's robe, leaning weakly against a tree, his legs were bloody and bloody.

"My inner demon broke my legs... Please, take me out." The young monk held out his hand to Li Chu.

...

"His inner demon..." The old monk on the top of the mountain gasped in surprise, "It's quite rare."

"Um."

The little monk was actually a little silent.

After a long time, he finally said: "Usually only great virtuous and eminent monks who are rare to see in hundreds of years will have such demons."

"This is……"

"mercy."

"Oh?" The old monk was a little surprised.

"His obsession is not to gain for himself, but to help others. Therefore, the demons will turn into the appearance of needing help and attack him."

"Then to defeat this inner demon, do you have to become a heart of stone?" asked the old monk.

Because they are well aware that defeating the inner demon is not a simple solution to beheaded, but to find some fundamental ways.

"I don't know." The little monk shook his head and smiled, "I haven't met it before, and I don't know how to explain it. But...it's just sad."

...

Li Chu looked at this person deeply.

With the mind-eye technique, you can't see any difference in him. It is expected that if the change of the demon is not so easy to see through.

Everything is possible in the heart demon forest. When you think he is fake, maybe he is real...

never mind.

Thinking this way, Li Chu finally stepped forward.

"It's better... let me help you heal first."

"You will heal?"

"Understand a little."

Li Chu stepped forward, inspected the young monk's wound, and then formed a formula with both hands.

At the same time, the moment he bowed his head, a fleeting coldness flashed in the young monk's eyes.

The magic of the demon seed is that it can immediately generate a mental demon with complete spiritual intelligence according to the obsession of the entrant. Everything about this demon was born to restrain the original owner.

He could feel that Li Chu was still on guard against him now.

But it does not matter……

As long as you have a compassionate heart, I will always find a chance...

Just when he secretly became ruthless.

A small sun slowly rises...

Then……

His bloody legs were gradually healed by the Buddha light of the Little Bodhi Mantra.

And then……

Inside the White Dragon Temple, the Dharma bell that had been silent for some time suddenly rang again...

Hum——

This sound shook the whole world.

In Shenluo City, countless gold and iron horses died down in an instant, and a lot of heavy rain poured down and disappeared immediately.

Some people were so startled that they fell off the bed and exclaimed, "We're back, we're all back!"

but……

The impact of mortals is far inferior to those in the heart demon forest...

The Little Bodhi Mantra is a gentle and healing Dharma, so the demons of the mind can still be unaffected. The sound of this Dharma bell sounded like thunder.

At this time, the Dharma bell rang, and the young monk's body shook, and he spit out a mouthful of blood! The whole person was sluggish in an instant.

"You... this is..."

Li Chu's pupils trembled. How could this man be going to die after a little bodhi curse?

The young monk held Li Chu's hand and explained tremblingly, "Internal...internal injury."

"It's okay, my little bodhi mantra can even heal internal injuries, I'll do it again for you."

With that said, Li Chu picked up Little Bodhi again.

A little sun rises again...

The wounds on the young monk were slowly healed, and then...

Hum——

Another bell rang.

"puff--"

Blood stained the sky again.

In the past few days, there has been a single chapter, but the number of words is the amount of two chapters, but it is not easy to disassemble. Because the number of words in this kind of plot will always be a bit too much, I don't want to take up too many chapters because of it... Otherwise, it may be very long to write a volume.
