Chapter 80: Flying Fairy with Sword, West Lake Snake Demon (Subscription Request)
“You are joking, Heavenly Master. Although the founder of the Maoshan Underworld is powerful, he cannot interfere in the affairs of the living world.

In the end, Shi Jian still has to rely on himself."

The old Taoist priest rolled his eyes at Shi Jian's remarks.

How could he not know whether the ancestor of the underworld could interfere in the affairs of the living world?

"Okay, it's ok that you are strong, but you are also so eloquent.

I will not keep you in Longhu Mountain.

Traveling around the world, I want to see how big a storm you can stir up!

Remember, Longhu Mountain is also a member of the Zhengyi Dao Alliance. If you need help from an old Taoist in the future, don’t hesitate.”

"Shi Jian understands. Thank you for your guidance, old master. Shi Jian takes his leave..."

After bowing and saying goodbye, Shi Jian flew away from Longhu Mountain on his sword.

As the old Taoist looked at Shi Jian flying away on his sword, a glimmer of hope to make up for the regret flashed across his eyes!

After leaving Mount Longhu, Shi Jian flew in the sky on his sword, feeling relaxed both physically and mentally.

He had already chosen his first stop after coming down the mountain, which was Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River!
Recently, for unknown reasons, a giant python has transformed into a spirit in the West Lake, stirring up the rivers and making the whole of Hangzhou restless.

However, Jinshan Temple, not far from West Lake in Hangzhou, did not choose to send disciples down the mountain to exorcise demons.

So this snake spirit continued to stir up trouble for two months...

Shi Jian received this news from his master Wu Chenzi before going down the mountain, so naturally he chose West Lake as his first stop.

......................................................

The Jiangnan area has been a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery since ancient times.

Even in today's era of warlords, it cannot conceal the prosperity of Jiangnan.

Shi Jian flew on his sword, and in just two or three days he arrived outside the city of Hangzhou.

Instead of continuing to fly the sword, he landed on the ground and slowly walked...

Along the way, all you can see is flat farmland. The south of the Yangtze River has been prosperous since ancient times, and Shi Jian has seen it with his own eyes.

And during the days when Shi Jian went to Hangzhou City.

As the old Taoist priest of Mount Longhu announced Shi Jian’s inspection of the world.

In an instant, the whole world was shocked!
Maoshan.

Inside the Elders' Hall, Wu Chenzi had a very obvious smile on his face at this moment.

If his disciple could be easily recognized by the old Taoist priest of Mount Longhu, it would mean that among the Taoist disciples of this generation, Shi Jian of Maoshan would become the leader.

The prestige of the entire Maoshan will also increase day by day.

As for the hidden risks, although Wu Chenzi was worried about Shi Jian's going down the mountain, it was just as the old Taoist said.

If Shi Jian really encountered unpredictable danger, would the Grand Master of the Underworld just watch him die and not help?
the answer is negative!

It can only be said that he would not easily interfere in the affairs of the living world, not to mention that Shi Jian is the next head of Mount Mao...

"Hahaha, congratulations, Brother Headmaster. When Junior Brother Shi Jian tours the world from now on, he will represent the entire Taoist sect!

"It is truly a great honor for our Master Brother to have such a good disciple. We, the Junior Brothers, are truly envious."

Wu Chenzi did not interrupt the envious words of his fellow junior brothers.

As Shi Jian's master, he was under a lot of pressure as he saw that his disciple was about to catch up with his cultivation level.

Wu Chenzi was also anxious...

He has been stuck in the condensation of the Three Flowers for more than ten years. Even if he condenses the Three Flowers, there is no way for him to break through to the Golden Elixir.

Wu Chenzi cannot do this unless all the resources of Maoshan are consumed.

We can only hope for the opportunity to come in the future...

Maoshan is overjoyed, but the same may not be true for other Taoist sects.

north.

Zhong Nanshan is a member of the Quanzhen Sect.

As the leader of the Quanzhen sect in the south and the north, the Quanzhen sect has been under tremendous pressure in recent years.

Since the Quanzhen sect was suppressed by the Zhengyi sect hundreds of years ago, the Quanzhen sect has not been able to truly revive until today.

The Quanzhen Sect was also very troubled by Shi Jian who suddenly appeared in the Zhengyi Taoist Alliance.

On the one hand, there is the struggle for the unity of Quanzhen, and on the other hand, there are the immeasurable merits brought by touring the world.

The Quanzhen Sect is also caught in a dilemma: whether to trip up Shi Jian of Maoshan or to help him. They have to make a decision!

However, generally speaking, Shi Jian's current fame is only spread within the Taoist community.

At least when walking in Hangzhou at this moment, Shi Jian has not been recognized by anyone...

"There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Who could have known that there would be a snake demon running rampant in the city of Hangzhou?"

Shi Jian shook his head. He didn't want to comment on the current practices of Buddhism.

It is unreasonable for Jinshan Temple, an important place in Buddhism, to be unable to get rid of a small snake demon.

However, Shi Jian came in person. Jinshan Temple didn't care, so he, who was touring the country, took charge!
Hangzhou City is full of things to see and do, but Shi Jian did not choose to go directly to the West Lake to exorcise the monster.

Instead, I started to wander around...

When he goes down the mountain to tour the world, in addition to exorcising demons and monsters, Shi Jian also needs to experience some worldly affairs and improve his state of mind.

Shi Jian randomly found an old teahouse that was doing pretty good business and walked in.

"Hey, Taoist priest, please come in!"

The owner of the old teahouse was well-informed about people like Shi Jian. When he saw Shi Jian, he felt that although he looked young, he was extremely extraordinary.

He quickly went into the hall to meet Shi Jian and sat down.

Shi Jian smiled back and did not refuse.

After arriving at the teahouse and sitting down, I casually ordered a cup of tea and quietly watched people coming and going in the teahouse.

After a while of busy work, the teahouse owner finally noticed that Shi Jian had not left. He heaved a sigh of relief and sat down in the seat in front of Shi Jian.

"Master, I wonder where you are from?"

The shopkeeper asked cautiously, but Shi Jian answered straightforwardly.

"I am Shi Jian, a disciple of Maoshan!"

When the shopkeeper heard the word Maoshan, he instantly lost his composure, and his originally cautious expression suddenly turned into joy.

"So you, Taoist Priest, are the immortal master from Mount Mao!
Taoist Priest, it is my blessing that you can come to our shop today.

I wonder if you could give me some talismans to keep my family safe?

I would like to ask for one to be posted at home for safety.

Of course, I won’t let the Taoist give me the talisman paper for nothing, I will definitely reward you handsomely! "

Shi Jian was not surprised to hear this. The appearance of a snake demon in Hangzhou City could be hidden from outsiders, but not from the owner of the old teahouse.

How could I not know about the evil disaster that happened in West Lake when I came into contact with so many tea drinkers of all kinds every day?
With a slight smile, Shi Jian did not agree directly.

"Shopkeeper, I will not give you talisman paper easily unless there is a demon causing trouble.

Can……

Hangzhou is a city of talented people and a popular place, so it is almost impossible for ghosts to appear there.

What's more...

Jinshan Temple is located in Hangzhou City. Why doesn't the shopkeeper go to Jinshan Temple to seek the blessing of Buddha? "

Hearing this, the teahouse owner suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

But soon, they began to whisper in a vigilant manner.

"Master, I will not hide the truth from you, there are no evil spirits doing evil in Hangzhou.

But a snake demon recently appeared in West Lake!"

"Snake demon...

I was quite puzzled by what the shopkeeper said. Logically speaking, Jinshan Temple should not sit idly by when a snake monster appeared in West Lake.

Why should the shopkeeper worry so much?"

Shi Jian smiled lightly, as if he was really surprised by this.

After Shi Jian finished speaking, the teahouse owner gave a wry smile, sighed, and then told him everything.

"Master, please don't mention Jinshan Temple.

I have made many donations over the years, but ever since the appearance of this snake demon, Jinshan Temple has closed its gates and refuses to allow outside visitors.

We, the people of Hangzhou, are also forced to do this!"

As if he had thought of something, the shopkeeper immediately started talking.

“Not only that, the guests who have heard about the snake demon said that the snake demon in the West Lake is actually a white snake!
I believe that you, Taoist priest, have also heard the legend of White Snake and Zen Master Fahai hundreds of years ago.

There is a legend in Hangzhou now that the white snake in the West Lake is the reincarnation of the White Snake from hundreds of years ago, and Jinshan Temple does not want to cause trouble, so it stays away from the world.

But this will make life difficult for ordinary people like us.

It is said that this snake demon has swallowed dozens of people within a month!
That’s why I want to ask for a talisman to keep myself safe.”

After taking a look at the teahouse owner, Shi Jian stood up without saying anything more.

He left behind a mid-level yellow talisman for exorcising evil spirits and then headed out of the teahouse.

Walking out of the teahouse, Shi Jian looked back.

"Boss, I heard that the snake monster in West Lake devoured people and will not survive today!
You will be punished by heaven's thunder within today!
I wonder if the shopkeeper can believe it?"

With a faint smile, Shi Jian's smile made the teahouse owner full of inexplicable confidence!

However, the teahouse owner still shook his head.

"Master, please stop joking. Today I want to thank you for giving me the talisman paper.

As for this matter of heavenly punishment, it is really hard to believe..."

"In that case, I won't say much. Shopkeeper, just wait a few hours and you'll know the truth!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Jian took a step forward and disappeared outside the teahouse in an instant.

The teahouse owner was a little dazed. He rubbed his eyes and thought he was seeing things.

But soon, he realized that he was not mistaken!

"He really is the immortal master from Maoshan!"

In excitement, the teahouse owner came to the square table where Shi Jian had just sat down, looked at the talisman that was emitting a faint glow, and suddenly couldn't stop smiling...

As for Shi Jian, after leaving the teahouse, he did not continue wandering around, but quickly headed towards the West Lake!

The area around West Lake is cool and peaceful.

It was very lively before January, but ever since the snake monsters started to spread, no one dared to hang out here.

even……

Half a month ago, the warlord Li Dashuai of Hangzhou City brought in guns and cannons to deal with the snake monster.

It’s a pity that the bullets couldn’t penetrate the snake monster and the artillery shells couldn’t hit it either.

Marshal Li had no choice but to give up. To this day, the snake demon has become even more unscrupulous.

In broad daylight, he revealed his true form and swam in the West Lake. When he was hungry, he came ashore to devour the common people.

Those people living around West Lake who were reluctant to leave their property were still praying, while more people gave up their property and left in a hurry.

　Ahem, today I'm going to dig a big hole for Senior Brother to put some pressure on him. The Nascent Soul Demon Emperor under the Jinshan Temple must be inspired by the Legend of the White Snake. However, this snake plans to replace him with a male one... This way, it will be easier to kill him.

Okay, back to the topic. Today is another four chapters and twelve thousand words. It’s the last day of May Day, and it’s really hard to endure. I almost cried during the last class.

Here, I wish all book friends good luck on May Day, a smooth trip on May Day, a happy May Day, and a safe and happy May Day.
