Chapter 0938 Today

The Mirror of Observation flew out of Shen Hao's hand, emitting a strong red light, and smashed towards Zuo Liuying in the room like a meteorite falling from the sky. Shen Hao summoned the magic sword with his right hand, pinched the magic formula with his left hand, and shouted softly. This shout was meaningless, just a habit when he tried his best.

He knew that he was no match for Zuo Liuying, but if he didn't fight before being locked up in the Demon Cave, he would regret it forever, and even his soul would not be at peace.

Zuo Liuying put his right hand behind his back, stretched his left arm forward, and pointed his palm at the door. He didn't use any magic formula, and spread his five fingers. The Mirror of Observation suddenly stopped, floating in the air seven feet in front of him, slowly rotating, and the red light was fluctuating.

Shen Hao snorted heavily, stimulating more potential, his body shook slightly, and his abdominal cavity was like a drum, making a banging sound, which became louder and louder, and even shook the whole tower.

The Mirror of Observation of Shapes remained in its original position. The red light grew even brighter when it grew, but became dimmer when it shrank.

The trembling of the tower attracted a large number of Taoists, but none of the nine masters and other Taoists who served Yuemang appeared. When Kun Dun had just obtained the position of the ancestor, they accepted it most reluctantly, but once they were convinced, their minds were the most determined. No matter how much chaos there was inside and outside the tower, it could not interfere with their practice.

There were more than 20,000 Taoists in the Taoist sect, and more than half of them ran to the eighth floor. No matter how many people came, it was not crowded here, and everyone could find a place. If a mortal stood in the tower and looked up, he would feel incredible: if he wanted to see it big, the eighth floor tower would expand like a mountain in his eyes, enough to accommodate more Taoists; if he wanted to see it small, the tower body would not change, and the Taoists would become as small as rice grains.

The Taoists had long been accustomed to the magic of the Taoist Tower, and even the little Taoist who had just condensed the pill and could not fly did not find it unusual.

The sound coming from Shen Hao's stomach became louder and louder. The Taoists looked at this scene in surprise, not knowing why, but no one asked questions.

Shen Hao's magic power was about to run out. He retracted some of his magic and said loudly: "Fellow Taoists, I am Shen Hao, a Taoist priest from the Discipline Department of Pangshan. Zuo Liuying ordered me to take the heads of Xin Youtao and Pei Shurong, the former Taoist priests of Pangshan, for the sole reason that they refused to return to the Taoist tradition. I refused because they are my friends and because Zuo Liuying's order clearly violated the Taoist discipline. Fellow Taoists, please think about the duties of a Taoist priest and why you became a Taoist priest in the first place. We take it as our duty to slay demons and monsters. We practice hard not to kill fellow Taoists!"

Shen Hao had not noticed Zuo Liuying's offensive, so he retracted some of his magic power and said in a higher voice: "The Demon Cave used to be used to detain Taoist priests who committed serious crimes. Now it will take in those who disobey orders. Fellow Taoists, this is just the beginning. All Taoist priests will become slaves of Zuo Liuying!"

Shen Hao tried not to When it comes to the ancestor, the others are shocked and the first solution they think of is the ancestor. "Where is the ancestor? What right does Zuo Liuying have to give orders?" "Even if it is the ancestor's order, the Taoist priests have the right to refuse, it was like this in the past..."

Not everyone was persuaded by Shen Hao. Someone loudly refuted: "Didn't you join everyone in the encirclement and suppression of the Taoist priests who were possessed by demons? Xin Youtao and Pei Shurong were among those who were encircled and suppressed. Why are you disobeying orders now?"

Discussions arose everywhere. Shen Hao had no intention of winning the support of the crowd. He just didn't want to be treated as a criminal and locked up in the Demon Cave for no reason. "Kill the demons!" He shouted loudly, taking back most of his magic power. "The power of the Taoist priest can only be used to kill the demons. Those who are possessed by demons can be killed, but those who get rid of the demon thoughts cannot be killed! This is the boundary that Taoist priests must abide by."

Zuo Liuying let Shen Hao continue, neither refuting nor stopping him from speaking.

Taoist Gan Zhiwei from Hongshan stood up. He had been calling for a long time in the first floor of the tower, but he had not received much support. Shen Hao's words touched him all of a sudden, "That's right, what on earth is the so-called apostasy order? Those who refuse to return to the Taoist tradition are neither demons nor monsters. If they collude with monsters, they will fight to the death on the battlefield. They have already withdrawn from the Taoist tradition, so how can they be called 'apostates'?"

The Mirror of Observation suddenly left the room and hung above Shen Hao's head. This was his magic weapon, with his mark, but it betrayed its old master at the most critical moment.

Zuo Liuying was supported by nine great treasures, among which the Sword Washing Pool could easily remove the mark of the magic weapon.

The Mirror of Observation split into two red lights, pointing to the tops of Shen Hao and Gan Zhiwei's heads respectively.

Zuo Liuying finally spoke: "The great way is simple, there is only one way to practice. The ancestors have used magic to benefit all living beings, but there is only one kind of people who cannot benefit from it - those who have doubts will not be strong, and those who have weak will will stagnate in practice, and those who stagnate in practice will easily become confused. The ancestors' methods illuminate the Taoist tradition. As long as you believe in the ancestors wholeheartedly, there is no reason for your practice to stagnate. Otherwise, it means that you have rebelled. You must understand that the demons you remove today are the demons you will remove tomorrow. Although they have not yet been born in the future, they have been clearly shown in the eyes of the ancestors. These two people will become demons in the future. I will follow the orders of the ancestors to cut them off at the root."

When these words came out, all the Taoists were shocked. In the past, the speed of practice progress was all personal private affairs, but now it has become a crime, and it is a crime in the future.

However, after looking at each other, most Taoists were silent, because they were not among those who stagnated in practice. Under the influence of the ancestors' magic, practice became easier. At this time, the Taoists who were still stagnant seemed a bit strange.

"My cultivation has stagnated. Will I become a demon in the future?" a voice asked.

All eyes turned to Shen Hao, who was also surprised to see his karmic partner - Bai Qing, a Taoist priest from Luanjing Mountain.

"My practice has stagnated three months ago, and the ancestor's spells seem useless to me. But I have never doubted the ancestor, nor have I thought about disobeying any of the ancestor's orders, let alone betraying the orthodoxy. I believe this is just a If I can survive a small Taoist tribulation, so can the two of them." Bai Qing walked out of the crowd and pointed at Shen Hao and Gan Zhiwei who were frozen by the red light, "Does the Taoist tradition no longer allow Taoist priests to encounter tribulations? Isn't that... "

Before Bai Qing finished speaking, a third ray of red light came out. She was speechless and stared angrily at Zuo Liuying in the room.

"The Patriarch has eliminated all Taoist tribulations, and there is only one reason for stagnation in practice - doubts and hidden evil thoughts." Zuo Liuying said.

There was a bang, and the Taoist priests were talking about it. They couldn't believe that Taoism would really make such a rule. After a while, the discussion disappeared, and most people remained silent, because the current practice was so smooth, and it seemed that Taoist calamity would never occur in the hearts of normal Taoist priests.

"My practice is stagnant."

"Me too."

Not all Taoist priests remained silent. More and more Taoist priests came forward and publicly admitted that their practice had not progressed. Most of them were low-level Taoist priests below the level of swallowing smoke. There were only a few high-level Taoist priests like Shen Hao and Gan Zhiwei.

The Taoist priests who were watching noticed the difference, "Did you see it? All the high-level Taoist priests who came up through normal cultivation are fine. Shen Hao and the others followed the heretical path..."

Shen Hao's state was improved by using the nine great treasures, and Gan Zhiwei's method of refining beasts to enter the star fall state was not the right path of Taoism.

Seeing this, most Taoist priests became even more silent. Regardless of whether Zuo Liuying's approach truly adhered to the ancestor's intention, he did find "unusual" Taoist priests in the simplest way.

"Unusual" is a vague word. It is effective when used with Shen Hao and Gan Zhiwei, but it is a bit forced when it comes to Bai Qing. She is a Taoist priest from Luanjing Mountain and has always been normal. But once people see the "difference", they will You can always find a reason: Bai Qing once had a relationship with Shen Hao, and she obviously didn't completely get rid of it. This is inappropriate and abnormal.

No one paid attention to the contrary evidence. For example, most of the beast masters were fine. They did not follow Gan Zhiwei, but claimed with great certainty that their practice had progressed very smoothly since refining the inner elixir. Other returning Taoist priests also completed refining their inner elixirs ahead of schedule, and categorically denied that there was anything unusual about them.

The number of Taoist priests who have come forward to admit that their practice has stagnated has reached more than 200, which is a large number for Taoism. Zuo Liuying seems to be not satisfied yet. The Mirror of Observation emits a red light and freezes them all in place. Then more red light appeared, like a malicious beast, staring fiercely at the Taoist priests around it, trying to pick out more prey.

"Zuo Liuying, don't even think about succeeding. Yashan will not be fooled by you! We are going to see the founder and ask for it personally!" A voice suddenly came from outside the tower.

"Asan Master Shen Zangqi..." Someone recognized the voice, and then more Taoist priests were surprised to find that there were very few Asan Taoist priests around.

The Taoist priest standing at the window pointed outside and shouted: "Asan has defected... The Taoist priests of Asan have left and are flying out of the city!"

"Orthodox is not a place where anyone can leave just as they want," Zuo Liuying said.

The Daotong Tower suddenly shook, and Zuo Liuying's room was filled with light. Taoist priests Sui Qi and Dian Xia suddenly felt dazzled and turned their heads, daring not to look at it. Taoist priests Tunyan and Xingluo saw the magic weapon covered by the light.

"Nine great treasures!"

The nine most important magic weapons of Taoism were rotating rapidly around Zuo Liuying. No one recognized that they were only their dharma bodies, but the power of the treasure's dharma bodies should not be underestimated.

The light disappeared, and nearly two thousand Yashan Taoist priests who had flown out of the imperial capital were dragged back to the Taoist Tower.

Shen Zangqi regretted his words before leaving, but he was still unconvinced, "Zuo Liuying, you are the biggest traitor! Patriarch..."

"The Patriarch shines all over the world. He can see you clearly and he can see me clearly." This was Zuo Liuying's only answer.

The Mirror of Shape Observation radiated red light, and all the Taoist priests who admitted that their practice had stagnated, as well as their Shen Zangqi, were put into the gourd-shaped Demon Drawing Cave. The surviving Yashan Taoist priests were horrified and said that they were forced to practice. No problem at all.

The Shape Observation Mirror flew in a circle above everyone's heads and took in nearly four hundred Yashan Taoist priests. Then the red light disappeared and fell to the ground. Zuo Liuying did not give any reason for this "demon exorcism".

The Taoist priests gathered on the eighth floor left in a hurry. Before they returned to their residence, they forgot about the Taoist priests who were imprisoned in the Demon-Batting Cave and began to prepare to concentrate on their thoughts.

With no one else in front of him, Zuo Liuying turned his eyes to the incense burner in the corner, "Soon, there will no longer be 'accidents' within the Taoist order."

The green smoke rising from the incense burner swayed twice, seemingly satisfied.

Zuo Liuying didn't care about his behavior. He only had one thought in his heart. He hoped that these few days would pass quickly so that he could visit Zeng Fu and Qilin. The place Zeng Fu called "home" now had an extremely important meaning for him. Powerful attraction.

Apart from this, he had no other thoughts, which was completely consistent with his cold and ruthless face. Even Kun Chaos, who was all over people's hearts, could not find any unfavorable thoughts in this desolate mind.
